Kumi: Hi! I'm here with a new story. The rest are on their last year in middle-school and Hyuuga Natsume had a girlfriend named Honoka Ayame (和花 菖蒲). Well, they had a mission together and she died. Then, Natsume will meet a girl who is the same in appearance as Ayame but very different when it comes to their personalities. I think that's all. If you have any questions please drop a review or send me a PM.

Natsume: Stop nagging and start.

Kumi: Roger. Well, I do not own Alice Academy nor any of its original characters. Though, I own some characters that didn't appear in the original story. This plot is also mine. Then, let's start!


Eien ni egao

1st song: Snow Kiss


Me o tojite naito gurowin

Close your eyes, night growing

Yobiokosu ano kioku

You'll recall that memory

Her cerulean eyes showed the same kindness that she always had. Tears are evident in her eyes but she still kept that sweet and sincere smile. Her once blonde hair is now soaked in her own pool of blood. She lay there dying in the arms of her lover. He reached out to him and started caressing his face. "I'm...glad." She said. "Because I'll die... saving you..." Then she coughed again. "That's why...please...don't cry..." She pleaded.

Kogoeru kuchibiru kande

Biting our freezing lips

Futari kata o yoseau

We wrapped our arms around each other

"No, you won't die, Ayame." Natsume replied. He held her tightly and she gazed upon the starry sky. She pointed at it and smiled more. "Ayame?" Natsume said, now gazing at the sky.

Saigo ni kimi o mita hi o

I hid the day when I saw you last

Kioku no soko ni kakushita

At the bottom of my memories

"Soon I'll be...a star...too."She replied turning back to Natsume. Caressing him, she used the last of her strength to sit up. She pulled her in a passionate kiss and said her last words. "Smile forever, Natsume, I love you." Then she took her last breath.

Mizuumi no ue aruita ano Wonderful view

We walked on the lake; Wonderful View

(I'm feeling so alive)

snow kiss

Kono mama kimi to good-bye nante

Iwanaide

Don't tell me

That I'll be saying goodbye to you like this

"AYAME!"

Aitai

I want to see you

Toki ga tomaru hodo utsukushii hoshizora o

The starry sky is beautiful enought to stop time

wow wow…


Natsume shot his eyes open and put his arm above his forehead and sighed. Today is Ayame's funeral and, with the help of the middle-school principal, some students were granted the permission to attend it. "Is it almost time?" Natsume asked Ruka who just came.

"Ye-Yeah." He replied. Natsume stood up and gaze at the dark sky. He continued walking and as Ruka followed behind him.

They offered her white irises. Just like her name which means iris. Iris stands for rainbow. Ayame was a cheerful and optimistic girl. Even though she came from a rich family, she is still naughty and full pranks. She had always been the bubblegum girl.

Shiroku kagayaku iki ga

The white and shiny breath

Yasashiku ano ko o tsutsumu

Envelopes that child gently

After the funeral, Ruka talked to someone first and then followed Natsume. Ruka rode the car 1st and before riding, Natsume sensed someone looking at him. He turned around to see no is there. "Natsume?" Ruka asked called. He then rode the black car. Upon arriving, they were greeted by Hotaru, Mikan and Iinchou.

"Welcome back." Mikan greeted but Natsume just brushed her off and pass her. He then went straight to his room. "What's wrong with him?" Mikan pouted. Ruka walked towards them and Hotaru gave his bunny back. "Where exactly did you go, Ruka-pyon?" The brunette asked. Rukas was about to say something when someone cut him off.

"To Ayame sama's funeral." A man in his high school uniform said. He has a blonde hair and cerulean eyes like Ayame's. He's Kaede Hayato (楓 隼人), Ayame's butler. He's in his last year right now.

"That's explains it." Hotaru replied.

Meanwhile, Natsume sat on his couch and stared at his window. Just then, it started raining. Today was definitely not his day. First, her death and now this, rain. How depressing. He stood up and went towards his refrigerator. He opened it and took a beer. "NO BEER!" Ayame's voice said, still ringing in his ears. She wouldn't like this. He put it back and sat on his couch. He covered his eyes with his arms and fell asleep.

Suimen ga koori ni kawaru

The surface of the water changes into ice

Kurayami ga oorora ni naru

The darkness turns into an aura

"Look! Natsume!" Ayame shouted. She opened the window of his room and it was raining. The room was chilly. Natsume went towards her and saw nothing but rain. He then stood straight wondering.

"There's nothing." He said.

"It's raining." She stated now smiling at him.

"Huh? So?" He asked confused.

"The rain washed away sorrow and pain and taking a bath in the rain is fun." She continued still smiling sheepishly. There was something in her mind right now.

Yami ga tokereba ikite yukeru no? Baby

When the darkness dissolves, will I be able to live? Baby

Namida misezu ni hikari no hou e arukidasu

I'll start walking toward the light without showing my tears

(I'm feeling so alive)

"What is it now?" He asked knowing there was something she wants.

"Let's play. Under the rain." She smiled happily.

"No." Natsume frankly replied and closed his eyes as she pouts and fakes tears. Natsume opened his eyes and sighed. "Okay." He gave in. Ayame then hugged him.

"Thank you, Natsume!" She pulled him outside and started taking a bath in the rain. They both had fun. The next day, they both got sick but she was still smiling. "Isn't it fun, Natsume?"

snow kiss

Kono mama tooku hanarete mo

Even if we become separated far apart like this

Nakanaide

Please don't cry…

He opened his eyes and sighed. He stood and went towards his windows. Upon opening his windows, he saw a figure of a girl. She had long raven hair that reached to her waist. She stood there staring at the sky. At first he didn't mind but he remembered something.

Ayame was happily walking holding a purple iris in her hands as Natsume followed behing her. This was her 2nd day at the academy during, Natsume's 1st year in middle-school she transferred. "Hyuuga-san, are you in pain?" He just stared at her as she turned around. "Hmm..." She turned back continuing her walk.

"What do you want this time?" He asked pissed. Being called here, instead of spending time with Mikan.

"What I want?" She smiled. Ayame turned around smiling. "I want to see people smile. I want to wash away their pain."

Aitai ano hi ano toki your love

I want to see you, on that day, at that time, your love

Shiroi toiki no star

A star of white sighs

Natsume stopped dead on his tracks. She never wanted people to be sad. So maybe if he can wash away that girl's sadness, Ayame would be glad. He turned to the window to see the girl in a seating position, her hands now covering her face. Natsume brought and umbrella and went outside. He hesitated at 1st telling himself that it isn't like him. But still, he walked towards her and touched her shoulder. She turned to him and two crimson eyes met. Natsume was startled a bit and he dropped the umbrella. He backed off a bit shocked.

"Aya...me."

snow kiss

Kono mama kimi to good-bye nante

Iwanaide

Don't tell me

That I'll be saying good-bye to you like this

Kimochi to ka torenai kizuato

Unremovable scars such as feelings

Please don't erase them

Kesanaide…

Please don't erase them…


Kumi: And there you have it.

Natsume: Shut up, old hag.

Kumi: Old hag? I'm only 13!

Natsume: Then, Kid.

Kumi: I'm not a Kid!

Ruka: Everyone, please leave your reviews.

Kumi: This song is D-Gray Man's 1st ending song titled Snow Kiss...
