XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Puff….puff…huff…. (Gasp)….shoot! I'm (puff)… going to be late (puff)… for my promotion!" A brunette said between puffs.
Her silky hair isn't in pigtails anymore and is let down into a half ponytail and her body isn't at all child-like and in her soon-to-be black belt dobuk shows of her perfect curves; any boy who see's her will surely get a nose bleed or faint, either by her looks or if she knocks them out. She is more of a tomboyish-type, a lot of boys court her; and today she is going to be a Black belt at Taekwondo and Karate. And Mikan, now twelve and a-half, is a beautiful teenager.
She started karate at the age of five, and had judo lessons and is the youngest to be a black belt at ten, and finished judo at the same age; after that she wanted more and started taekwondo and kendo; it normally takes about five years to be a black belt, but she is an exception, it only took her two and a half years to be a black belt, a new record! And because of that she earned the respect of her teammates and her sensei that respect might just go down the drain if she doesn't hurry! Oh and she finished her kendo lessons in a year, another record for our almost late Mikan
Mikan is also a straight A+ student and doesn't need to worry about balancing both training and her studies
"Almost there (puff)" Mikan thought. Another corner and she is there.
But she bumped into someone, and not only someone, oh no, she bumped into her sensei!
Mikan quickly stood up, took a step backward and bowed, after that she took her handkerchief and wiped of her sweaty face, getting ready for an endless lecturing of being late again
"Oh hey, Mikan, good morning….good to see you early, as always" he said, noticeably in a good mood
"Th-thanks, Sensei" she mumbled, giving him another bow and proceeded to the gym
"Darn that alarm-clock, woke me up to early and giving me the wrong time, #() ( (censored…..he, he) and what's up with the sensei? It's like he's done torturing someone or something"
When she got to the gym, she was greeted by some of the other soon-to-be black belts and already black belts who support the soon-to-be black belts
She was greeted by her sempai, Rio…
Rio Miyake, black belt for three years, age: 16, has dark-blue hair and tantalizing black eyes and is second best from Mikan in their team
"Hey there, squirt" he said while smirking
Mikan gave a bow and said…
"Hey there, Sir Rio" she said
"Oh, our little baby is growing up…. I remember then when she was still a white belt, being introduced by dear, sweet Sensei" he said while crying waterfalls of tears and others did too while nodding in agreement
"Oh, will you guys quit it" while sweat-dropping
And they all laughed in unison
"So, how does it feel being the youngest to be a black belt in such short notice" said Hannah-sempai giving Mikan a pat on the back
"It feels great Hanna-sempai" while her sempai started crying as well mumbling something about growing up and something else, later on being joined by her Rio-sempai
"Not this again-" Mikan was cut off, while sweat-dropping
"The promotion will be starting 5 minutes, every soon-to-be black belt please proceeds to the rubber mats" the announcer announced (Duh, that's what they do...)
"Well guys, I should be going now, wish me luck" as Mikan waved good-bye
"Good Luck" they all said in unison
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Mikan Sakura, please step up" said one of the announcers
"Yes, Sir" she replied
"We heard that you're the girl who trained for only two-and-a half years and is a black belt at karate, and is at the highest rank in judo and kendo, is that right"
"Yes, Sir" she respectfully replied
"Very impressive, for your question…Well, its not a question its actually, a battle with one of our best, so get ready, all rules apply and you can only do taekwondo nothing else, ok"
"Yes, Sir…this is interesting" she mumbled under her breath as she quickly moved in a fighting stance, getting ready for the battle
Soon enough, a big, muscular guy appeared and started charging at her, being quick as herself, she gracefully dodged it and started kicking each other
The duel ended and the score: Mikan: ten, opponent: zero…Mikan won, due to the rule that if one of either opponents gets seven and above and the other person gets zero there is no hope that the other could catch up….letting the other person win!
They bowed at each other and the big guy faced the jury, bowed then left
"Very, very impressive, Miss Sakura" they said while clapping
"You are guaranteed to be a black belt, Congratulations" one of them said
She stood straight and bowed with a rare smile, they shook hands and called on the next trainee (darn that sensei, so that's why he was in a good mood this morning) she thought abruptly and felt a vein popping from her forehead her smile faded away a long time ago (2.5 seconds, to be exact)
After that, she went to the ladies room and got changed. While going home, she passed by some of the other people who where at the promotion, she noticed that one of them was crying, must've failed to answer the questions given, seeing that she was the only one with a physical challenge
She felt a little sorry for her, but she just shrugged it of and continued walking to her house or, shall I say, mansion
Yeah, she is very, very rich, but for the price of fortune, she had to give her parent's time with her, it was very sad for her, that's why she was very cold but…..
Enough of that! We will just move on she doesn't want to remember the past
But there are persons she just can't get out of her head, mainly, her deceased grandfather, Hotaru Imai …..and her childhood friend, they just called each other kuroneko (black kitty/cat) and shironeko (white kitty/cat), he was kuro and she was shiro, since they both like cats and he like black while she liked white; they where best friends, too, but one day he just left and left a letter saying they'll meet again very soon….but that was years ago! And Mikan was still determined to see him again; Hotaru, on the other hand, left with a good bye saying she was transferring to another school, but Hotaru didn't tell which school, so she hadn't heard from her since a few months ago, which just added to her coldness…..(sigh…how cold can she get)
The next day…
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Groans…darn this alarm clock! It's a Saturday and it goes beeping, waking sleepy people up!" A sleepy and grumpy Mikan complained
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Darn!
Then suddenly a flame came out of no where and burned the darn alarm clock to ashes
"Darn! I did "it" again!"
Mikan said while looking at her palm, and then clenched it to a fist and punched the thing nearest her, the cold, hard wall
"Darn! Why do I keep on doing these things? Am I normal? Am I really a human? What's happening to me?"The confused Mikan screamed, and made a hole in the wall beside her, which, fortunately, just led to her big bathroom (remember, she's a taekwondo and karate black belt and is one of the kendo and judo's highest ranking) the wall she put a hole into was five inches in width, she is so strong!
Unfortunately a maid, who was just about to knock and wake up Mikan, heard and smelled everything! From the darn alarm clock to the burning, darn alarm clock and to the cracking wall
She quickly informed Mikan's parents and told them that Miss Mikan found her Alice! Coincidentally, all the maids of the Sakura house seemed to have Alices and was ordered to inform if Mikan showed any signs of having an Alice, and to tell it to their master, immediately and I guess now is the time
"Okay, thank you, chihori, for telling us the matter"
"Your welcome, sir, seems that your daughter has the fire Alice, quite a fine one I might say, but…."
"What is it, chihori?"
"I noticed that her Alice is controlled by her emotions, meaning……"
"Meaning she has unlimited power and can use her Alice at her free will, is that what you where saying?"
"Exactly, Sir"
"I am fully aware of that, but….. I know Mikan, and she will never use her Alice to hurt people she thinks are trustworthy"
"I guess your right, Sir"
"Fine, then end of discussion"
"Yes, Sir"
"Oh, and tell Mikan to pack her things"
"Why, Sir?"
"Because I will inform the academy, right after this"
"Oh, yes, Sir"
"Okay, goodbye now"
"Bye"
Chihori put down the receiver and said:
Looks like there will be no Sakura's in the Sakura house for a while" and left to go to Mikan's room
"Oh no, I made a hole in my room" Mikan said, realizing what she has done
"Why? Why do I have these abilities I could make a fire at will and do a hell of other stuff too…..
Flashback
"The water isn't cold anymore and I can't reach the ice in the freezer, what should I do?"
She thought really hard and wished that the water would just go cold and had some ice in it……and it came true, when she turned to look at the water there where ice crystals in them and was shimmering in the sunlight
"Whoa! How did that happened? Oh, well"
Mikan was to young to think about it back then, but now, when she thought about it, she can't help but wonder if she was the one who made the ice appear, and there was a time in school, when she found a withered plant and felt sorry for it, then at the next moment a green light came from Mikan and the plant started to glow, too, the plant started to restore to life and in a few moments the plant was brand new, maybe even better when it was still alive, and there where other times, too when strange things happen, there was another time when……..
End of flashback
Mikan's thoughts where interrupted when she heard a
Knock! Knock!
Coming from her door, and quickly replied…
"Come in, the door is open"
And chihori entered the room to make the announcement
"Miss Mikan, I talked to your father and…"
Chihori was cut of because Mikan suddenly gasped and was staring blankly at chihori
XoooooooooooooooooX
Mikan's POV
I was listening to chihori when suddenly I felt my head hurt like hell, and then I saw images and sounds of what happened a while ago, I saw chihori talking to a guy; I noticed it was my father's voice! They where talking about some kind of "Alice" and was talking about someone having the fire Alice, and father said to pack her things and he'll be reporting to some kind of academy….wonder what all that was about, then suddenly I realized! I was the one with the fire "Alice"! Or something and I'll be the one packing my things! Well no big deal I'll have no one to miss me when I'm gone anyway
End of POV
"So I'll be the one packing and going to this academy, 'because father said so, okay then, you can leave now, if you need me I'll be packing me things, chihori"
Chihori was dumbfounded, how did Mikan know what she was supposed to say and why was she staring into space a while ago and now being her usual self again? Well, chihori just shrugged it of and just replied…
"Okay"
And took of to inform the other maids that Mikan has found her Alice and will be leaving soon for the Alice Academy and ask them if they've done all their morning chores, luckily all of them finished everything in time or chihori will spread her rage into the whole town, again….
Mikan's POV
I packed everything I needed for going to the academy and it all fit in one luggage bag I had when I went to Boracay, Philippines; it was so sunny there and had pure white sand on its beaches; we where there for two weeks and I really got a nice tan there……
Back to the present, I was wearing black pants and a matching black blouse with a Sakura petals design, the outfit showed of my perfect curves, and I didn't like that but I had no choice but to wear these clothes because all my clothes are already in my bag, and I had no intention of bringing these clothes before but I guess I had a change of plans and then I heard my cell phone ring and it said it's from Rio-sempai and I quickly answered it
End of POV
"Hello" said Mikan
"Hey there, squirt"
"Hi, Rio-sempai, why did you call?"
"Because we heard you where going to transfer to another school; is that true?"
"Yes, it's true, what do you mean by "we" earli-"Mikan was interrupted when she suddenly heard sobs coming from the other line, she recognized the voices and was positive it was the people from every team she went on, she heard the karate team, the kendo team, the judo team and the taekwondo team! It was so loud and noisy that she didn't hear or understand what anybody was saying and in, let's say 30 minutes, the noise cooled down, a bit, and she got a chance to ask them what was going on!
"Well, you see, we wanted to give you a surprise for being the best in judo, kendo, karate and taekwondo so we invited all the teams you've ever been on and was planning to throw a big party for you, but it seems you can't make it today or any other day" Rio said while hiding the sadness in his voice, but Mikan noticed this and felt a little guilty
"Um, its really nice for all of you to do that Rio-sempai but…..it's the thought that counts and I really don't need a party or anything, like I said, it's the thought that counts and I really and honestly feel like I'm being a burden to you guys and you shouldn't really have to go through all that trouble just for me, but any ways, thank you, for every thing and not only to you but to all the friends I have that are listening, mainly, all of you!" after what she said she could hear sobs again coming from the other line, but this time, louder!
"Mikan you're such a good person, thank you for everything" they all said in unison
"But we will still send you the present we bought for you" said Rio-sempai and the line went dead
"But…. I didn't have the chance that I'll be leaving soon"
Knock! Knock!
"Come in"
"Miss, the limo is at the front waiting for you, shall I say you'll be there in a minute?"
"Yes, thank you"
And the maid bowed and went to the front to tell the MIB en nlack… hehehehe…)
"Oh well, I guess they can't make it now" Mikan said then suddenly she heard the screeching of
Car wheels outside, at the highway and then suddenly the noise stopped, she looked outside to
See what was going, and she found four vans parked outside with different designs on them
And she recognized them immediately, they where the vans of each sensei she had and
The Vans where only used in special occasions, like now, When the vans came to a halt, everybody
Inside went out to greet Mikan and to give their present to Mikan.
"Hey, squirt" Rio shouted and Hannah, following him, waved at Mikan
Mikan waved back and shouted
"What took you so long?" and Mikan immediately jumped from her balcony down to the ground to greet everybody, everyone was surprised at what she did, because her balcony was at the third floor! She however, didn't mind their shocked faces and continued to walk forward towards them; the first one to snap back to reality was her Rio-sempai and then followed by the others.
Rio quickly snatched Mikan's present from his pocket and started to walk towards Mikan
"Here, Mikan, this is the gift we where talking about earlier, hope you like it" and proceeded on giving Mikan the box
Mikan opened it and was surprised to see two pure silver necklaces with a silver accessory Dangling on each, the accessory was a broken heart with wings and something engraved on it, Since there where two necklaces, one of them had the word "Believe" on the upper portion and "Your" in the lower part and the other necklace had "In" in the upper heart and "Heart" in the Lower part, so when put together you can clearly read "Believe in Your Heart" etched on it
Mikan gasped and asked
"What the heck is-" Mikan was cut of when she suddenly realized what it was for, one of the necklaces was supposed to be hers and the other was for the person………she loved
"You get it, squirt? And if whoever the guy is and he hurts you, we all promise you that we will beat him to a pulp" Rio, proudly said and everyone cheered
"Yeah, we promise to protect you from anyone, but I guess you don't need to be protected because you are much more stronger than all of us together, right, sensei" Hannah-sempai said while nudging all four sensei's one at a time and all of them sweat-dropped
And everybody laughed in unison, until somebody interrupted them…..the MIB
"Excuse us Miss Sakura, but we haven't got all day" the MIB said politely
"Oh, sorry about the delay"
"It's very understandable" the MIB said and left to go and get Mikan's luggage
Mikan faced the gang and started to thank all of them
"Thank you guys, when I got the news of me transferring I felt that no one will care and miss me,
But, I forgot about you guys and all the wonderful times we had together, thank you so much for
Showing me that someone cares" Mikan said with a tear in her eye but Mikan quickly brushed it
Of with her handkerchief so no one would notice, luckily no one did, the ones who saw her wipe
Her face with her handkerchief thought she was wiping her sweat and it really seemed that way
"Well guys, I guess this is it, bye!" Mikan bowed low and waved her hand while getting in the limo
"Bye Mikan, hope you take of yourself and make sure to eat well!" they all said in unison and waved good bye
And the limo sped of towards the direction of the academy leaving Rio and the others
