I am Chie at your humble service. I wrote a story that I hope would be to everyone's liking.
Just as about we start, I would like to declare that I do not own Gakuen Alice and its characters.
Crimson. If by any chance I would define the man in front of me with color it would be crimson. His eyes were of that color. Furious like the raging fire and elegant like the repeating color of the sunset. He was handsome. If not, all people are ugly. He was gripping my left arm with strength. His facial features shows his irritation.
"Who are you?" He demanded. I struggled and freed my arms against his grip. He certainly is handsome but he acts like he owns the world. He hovered in front of me.
"Mikan-chan" A loud male voice screamed calling my name. I turned my gaze towards the direction of the sound. I saw my blonde haired teacher running towards our direction. I heard the man beside me swore under his breath. He stopped in front of me panting. "Natsume-kun, how nice to see you here?" A scowl was form on the masculine features of the man who owns the ruby eyes. He picked up the manga on the ground and walked away. We were watching his retreating figure when Narumi sensei spoke "Black Cat. Do you remember what I told you before, Mi-chan?" One of the most dangerous students in the academy. Wielder of the Fire Alice, an alice that drains one life every time a large amount of force is applied. I flicked my eyes and stared at the humongous building which was known as Alice Academy.
"I am sure you will meet him again. Let us be on our way" I nodded. I stared to the place where Natsume's retreating form was last seen and followed Narumi sensei.
"Mikan-chan" My uncle who happens to be High School principal called. I smiled. His light blonde hair was basked with the golden rays that entered the office from the windows in his back.
"Hello uncle" I greeted. He stared at me with his usual calm face. His eyes were calm blue unlike the Black cat that I meet moments ago. He cringed at my appearance. He grabbed something underneath his table. He showed me my reflection. A dorky girl with thick glasses and messy brown hair raising her brows. Me.
"Your appearance is not befitting of your status" He stated sighing. "as your grandfather would phrase it" A grim line found its place in my lips. He sighed once again still shaking his head. "I don't know what games your playing at but you not revealing your identity would be convenient" I felt myself instinctively grin. "A Yukihara on the school would surely cause commotion"
"Not my fault"
"I clearly know that fact" Uncle tossed a key which appears as the key for my dormitory room. "Ask Narumi for your necessities. He will tell you the details"
"I understand" I replied before I politely curtsied and exited the room leaving my beloved uncle on his office minding his pile of documents.
Narumi sensei gave me the needed me a pamphlet that serves as the school handbook. It explained everything about the school in great detail and I was scanning over it. I am on my room. A large white-painted room with touches of gold here and there. It has a balcony which overviews the Northern Forest according to the map attached on the pamphlet. A living room furnished admirably. A smart 72 inches LED TV hang on the wall. Below the television is a rack containing Nintendo Wii and a pink apple laptop arranged neatly. I sighed at the luxury. The kitchen was no less than luxurious. A SMEG refrigerator and all the expensive looking utensils. My feet lead me to my bedroom. There was nothing much inside it. A large bed covered in white sheets and a lamp table beside it with an antique looking lamp. A bookshelf furnished with books. A digital wall clock above my bed. I can't help but smile. I closed the door leaving the room. The sound of the soft knock on my door made dragged me towards the door.
"Hello, Mi-chan!" Narumi sensei greeted me as soon as I opened the door. I smiled in reflex. "Do you like the room?"
"Too expensive" He chuckled. I let him enter the room. I closed the door as soon as he entered. His jaw dropped as he saw my room. He laughed.
"Your grandfather overdid the room" He glanced at me and smiled. He settled on the vacant couch across the television.
"Wanna watch the tv?" He shook his head. "I see"
"Mi-chan, are you going to be alright?" I smiled. His face shows worry. Narumi sensei is my god father. My father's student and a friend of my mother. He has feminine features but he was a cassanova during his youth as my parents told me. His blonde hair was gold unlike the white washed blonde hair of Uncle Kazu. His eyes were sharp and gentle amethyst. I patted his hands.
"I will be Narumi sensei" I put stretch on the word sensei making him chuckle. He patted my head messing my hair some more. He let out a breathe.
"If anything happens tell me immediately, alright?" he stood up and smiled. "I must go. You know how slave driver your uncle is" I chuckled and nodded.
"Good Night Narumi-tousama" He smiled softly and exited the room.
I was unable to sleep. I decided to take a stroll. I let my feet direct my body. I found myself under my balcony. I walked few more and landed on a blooming Sakura tree. I was without my glasses. The wind blew past me once again messing with my hair. I tucked a few strands of my hair under my ear. I was watching my balcony which is slightly visible from this place. The petals flew on the air adding elegance on the serene night. The grasses at my back rustled signifying a movement. I glanced at it and saw Natsume in pain.
"Hey are you okay?" I rushed at his side. His hands was on his head. He seems to have a severe headache. I hugged him as a mean to ease his pain as my mother always do to me. He calmed down. I can hear his rugged breathing as pain slowly left him. "Are you alright already?" I inquired loosening my hug around him. He stared at me confused.
"Yeah." He coolly run a hand on his raven locks. He smiled. I can't take my eyes away. He was different from when I met him before. He was innocent. "Thank you" he politely said. He smiled brightly. "I am Fuyume"
"Aren't you Natsume?" He smiled and nodded then shook his again.
"Yes and No?"He chuckled as she watched my confused expression. "Natsume is another me. I am Natsume's shadow, a cabinet of his memories"
"What do you mean?"
"Just as I said" I sighed. He won't divulge answers and I have no intention to pry. I replied his smile. "Your pretty, miss?"
"Mikan"
"Ah, you're that glasses girl from before" I bit my lips. That slipped off. He laughed amused.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone. In return, keep also this a secret even to Natsume himself"
"He don't know?"Sadness crossed his face which disappeared swiftly as it appeared. He shook his head with a cheerful smile. My phone vibrated. It was an alarm. I stared at him drowning my self at his gentle crimson eyes. "I must go" He neared me and kissed my cheek. A flush of heat found its place on my cheeks. I felt my body shivered.
"Good Night and Thank you, Mikan" He bids. I returned his smiles and bid him good night. I ran retracing my steps. I stopped for a moment and looked back. He was standing there underneath the Sakura tree with a big smile plastered on his face with the Sakura petals playing with the wind. I smiled to myself and returned to my room.
As soon as I returned to my room I felt the exhaustion hit me. I staggered towards the bed and sunk into the comfort. The gentle crimson eyes flashed on my mind then his furious one. How can the same eyes look so different. I felt my consciousness drifting and found myself entering dreamland. I remember the last thought that entered my mind. I can't wait for tomorrow. I fell asleep.
Thank you for taking your time reading. Please do review.
Lots of love,
