Something to Forget

Hello Minna-san! Yep it's me back with my third fan fiction. I hope this one is a good success just like my second one. This was supposed to be really serious but I can't have something too serious, I wouldn't last to the end of it if I did. Anyway this is based on Gakuen Alice/Alice Academy, and goes semi along with the story line.

Warning: Rated T for various styles of language (swears) violence, and some other things.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Gakuen Alice, a lot of the dialogue, the characters or the term of 'Alice'. I DO own the OCs, OC character backgrounds, and some dialogue.

Note: Honorifics and some Japanese words are used in this. If you don't know them look them up or ask and I'll get back to you when I can.

Okay? Oh and one more thing: if you DON'T like it DON'T read it. It's as simple as that, I don't need people putting me down because they don't like one little thing, or one little thing isn't correct. Big hint: FICTION! Get it? Not real. I doubt any of you would like it if someone bashed at you. Thank you. Also I accept everything really, just don't give me some hate comment or anything and please don't flame.

XxXFull SummaryXxX -I was a ten year old girl who used to live in Tokyo, Japan, I was a 'genius' but not in academics or anything like that. No I was a special kind of genius called an 'Alice'. 'Alice' was a term used for people with unusual powers such as teleportation, flight, levitation and other things, some common ones that you would think of everyday and some not. Some were really silly but others could be extremely dangerous, like mine. I possessed two alices, both of which could do harm to others or make someone harm them self. I came from a family of alices so it shouldn't have bothered me, but when trying to be forced into going to a school just for alices is another topic. When I turned three years old some strange things started to happen and I couldn't be just any old child anymore, no I had to continuously be running. My family was mysteriously being assassinated and it seemed to get worse as time went by. When I was eight a terrible tragedy took place, and it started murderous rumors about me.

Soon my once large family shrunk from seventeen to only nine, my parents, uncle, two cousins, my brother, my cousin's grandmother and grandfather and myself. So many mutilated so badly that we couldn't even have their coffins open at the funeral, they were unrecognizable. When I turned ten the last straw and most painful one played through, making me and my brother orphans since we had no parents anymore. It was now my worst enemy of all – fire – it took my sweet parents lives, they died protecting us. I was done with all of this, I hardly understood but I realized that the only way to protect the rest was to go and work from the inside of the school. The people who messed with my family were going to pay for what they did; it would become my life's new assignment. That was until something else happened and it became more and more desperate. My name was Tsubasa Hikari and this was my story.

Ru-Ru: Alright third fic this is awesome!

Hikari: … You really need a life.

Ru-Ru: Oh great I'm stuck with the one that doesn't laugh much.

Hikari:*narrows eyes* let's get this over with. By now everyone should know the disclaimer thing, if you don't read above because it's right there.

Ru-Ru: Well that's one way to say it. *giggles*

Hikari and Ru-Ru: Anyway, Please enjoy the first chapter!

Chapter 1 - Alice

Fire: The bringer of death and suffering. Fire: A source of light that could engulf the most unlucky. Yeah I learned about fire the hard way. Living with it wasn't so easy either now that I thought about it. I wished I could start over, but there was no chance for purity to return to someone like me. All I could do now was hope and pray for a miracle because this wasn't a foolish nightmare that I couldn't wake up from, no this was real. I hated this type of existence, I wasn't some special type of genius or at least I didn't want to be. No, many call this a gift or miracle, well they never thought of it from someone else's eyes, someone in my position, someone with my 'gifts'. No, for me this was no gift it was a curse, a damn curse! This stupid ring keeping me alive, the stupid Academy, I wished I could just run away from it all, but there was nowhere else to run. I had people left to protect and if it meant my capture then fine, but I couldn't let them hurt my family ever again, if they did I would make sure they would be burned alive.

The night before...

"I'm tired of losing everyone that I care for. That's why I need to do this." I sternly said as I held back my tears. "But we've all tried so hard so you wouldn't be caught." My uncle replied as he stood from the chair that he once sat in. "I've made up my mind; they want me more so it's useless to continue running if it just means death. I will personally make sure that their deaths weren't in vain." I stated as I turned on my heels and headed back up the stairs before they could say anymore. This was my decision, and I made a promise that I was going to make sure was kept. "… Minna-san … I'm so sorry …" I whispered to myself. I definitely would protect them.

The Academy...

The tree outside the large window in the hallway had birds on it, then they flew away, I wished that I could be that free and come and go as I pleased. To be free like a cat, that would be an amazing life. A cough from my left side interrupted my thoughts and wishes; annoyed I glanced in that direction to see my annoying older brother. His midnight black hair went to the tops of his shoulders and curled up at the ends, his bangs were in his light blue eyes as usual. His face but a child's, well it was my face too, just a little more guy-ish. We were fraternal twins with really only looks to show for it, we were like light and darkness, two opposites in just about every other way. "If you're sick then back off." I mumbled as I side stepped in the other direction. His head shot up and he looked at me with saucer eyes. "I'm not sick thank you." He started trying to make small talk, big mistake. "Well what are we supposed to do now? And why aren't you wearing your uniform right?" he pointed to my outfit that consisted of the red tartan skirt, black long sleeve over shirt, a white under shirt with long white pieces hanging down my torso, red neck tie, black knee length boots with red outlines and laces, and two belts, one black and one red, crossing at my waist. Yes my uniform was wrong in several ways, my tie was supposed to be a red ribbon, my boots were supposed to be pure black without the laces, and there weren't any belts, but I preferred it like this and I didn't get told anything about my choice in clothing so it didn't really matter.

"Like the gay sensei said, we wait. And I said I'd come, I never said that I'd follow the rules of this retarded place." I replied casually as I glared at him. "Your eyes are especially fiery today now aren't they?" He said with a chuckle. Yes he did say red, my eyes were fiery crimson, and odd color yes but it seemed to fit. My hair was midnight black like my brother's just longer, it went to my waist and I always wore it in high pigtails tied with red ribbons with black lace. My bangs like his half covered my eyes, and all of this along with my new uniform seemed to fit quite nicely. "OK you two can come in now~" The gay sensei, I honestly wasn't paying attention when he said his name, said while motioning us to go in the over exaggeration of large oak doors. Onii-san put on a smile and went in while I just stood there defiantly with my arms crossed over my chest. Sensei looked at me and waited for me to move from my spot. "If you haven't noticed already I'm not going to move." I commented stubbornly. Onii-san poked his head out the door to see what I was doing. "Oh come on Hikari, it's not so bad." He said with some weird smile spread on his face. 'He really does have problems.' I thought mockingly.

"Says you. Why would I believe a word out of your mouth with that gay look on your face idiot?" I said with one eyebrow raised. Sensei looked at us with a questioning look before returning his gaze to me. "What?" Onii-san exclaimed defensively. "You heard me." I retorted annoyed. "Please come an introduce yourself Hikari-chan. It won't be as painful as it seems." Sensei tried reasoning with me. I sighed heavily. 'He didn't just say Hikari-chan did he? Yeah he did, didn't he? Hmm should I kill him or let it slide this time?' I thought as I put my index finger to my lips and looked up at the pearly white ceiling. "Awww that face looks so cute!" Sensei mused. Idiot man! "Fine I'll come but I get to do this first." I hissed through gritted teeth as I walked up to him. "Hmm? What's the matter Hikari-chan?" he asked as he looked down at me. With a kick to his shin I turned and walked towards the oak doors with a mischievous smirk across my face. He was lucky that I was in a good mood today or I would have done worse than that. Onii-san's face was a mix of confusion, amusement and joy, so of course his expression was priceless. This idiot and his faces were just amusing; I stifled a laugh and looked at the class. A bunch of misfits if you asked me, but then again this whole school was chalk full of 'em.

Sensei limped back into the classroom after me and tried to smile through his winces of pain. Man I didn't think that I kicked him in the shin so hard that he couldn't keep a straight face, but then again he looked better with this pain filled expression. I wasn't sadistic I just got a bit of amusement out of the idiot's pain; he crossed my path and pissed me off. I wasn't like this towards every person, just those that annoyed me. "OK class … please meet our new … friends …" Sensei winced in between every few words. It was amusing but my damn guilt kicked in and I felt bad for him. He's part of this damned school so I shouldn't care about him but empathy always eventually got the best of me and I would pity the ones I hurt. "OK you two, please introduce yourselves." He said, finally having his winces under control. Onii-san looked eager again and spoke loudly and overflowed with excitement. "Hello Minna-san! I'm Tsubasa Hikaru, please to make your acquaintances~" should I kick him now? I really want to kick the idiot now! Huh? Oh great what's the point of this if:

1. Hardly anyone is paying any attention.

And 2. They could just ask later.

I sighed and stood quietly next to Onii-san, like I'd be an idiot and introduce myself to them? Yeah right. I wanted to just take off one of these earrings and control them with one of my alices. I chose not to and just glanced at Sensei as he tried to get them to pay attention for more than a few moments. New students, no one cared, I wouldn't either, and I would be just like them, ignoring the students and teacher. Guess I was like everyone else in a few ways, Onii-san would pay attention though, are we really related? "Ano … Hikari-chan please introduce yourself." Sensei said to me. Great now some of them are actually looking at me, some were looking from the beginning but a few more are actually paying attention. I could have sworn that someone said 'Hey look at her, she looks a bit like Natsume-san don't you think?' and someone else agreeing. Who the hell is Natsume? I glanced around the classroom and caught the sight of a guy with long midnight black hair that reached a little below his earlobes, his bangs went over one eye with a break in his bangs followed by some more hair, his eyes were crimson, a pretty bright shade too, with a rather annoyed expression. He looked, well more or less glared, at me then put a manga book over his face and leaned back.

I would say that he looked like a girl but he seemed more guy-ish than Onii-san did, looked better too. "Umm … Hikari?" right on queue Onii-san spoke, interrupting my thoughts for the umpteenth time today. "No." I mumbled. "What?" Sensei asked confused. "No." I said a little louder. "So where do I sit?" "Hey you should at least say hello to-" Onii-san started. This drove me off the edge. "I said hell no! Hell freaking no! Are you deaf you dumbass?" I screamed at him and narrowed my eyes. Shock. Sensei, Onii-san, and just about everyone else, except Manga-Boy in the back, all he did was slide the manga low enough so he could see what all the yelling was about. "… You ….uh …. can sit over there. The bench may be a little squished since all the other benches are full and there are normally only three people to a bench." Sensei shakily said as he pointed to the back of the room, the seat next to the blonde guy that sat next to Manga-Boy. Yeah that was just brilliant. I slightly nodded and walked down the aisle towards my new 'seat'. If you could call a damn bench a seat then I guessed I was just different, that was no seat in my opinion. Glaring down at it I noticed Onii-san following me and sitting on the bench in front of mine, the idiot close to me? That makes today even more enjoyable… NOT! Hell no! The other day was the worst day of my life, but this was runner up! I sat down on the bench, locked eyes with Sensei and waited.

"Well these two need partners to help them find their way around the school. So are there any volunteers?" he said in a happy-go-lucky tone. I nearly gagged at it; he was the most annoying teacher I had ever met. So happy, I wondered what kind of pain would be trapped under that shell. 'His eyes are hiding something. I should be able to tell a bleeding soul by now, it's all in the eyes most of the time. I wonder what it is though…' I thought skeptically. "No one? Ok then I guess I'll just have to choose myself. Hmm … how about Imai-san and Nogi-kun." He continued. The blonde guy next to me shot his head up and another person with really short black hair closer to the front stirred. "Hikaru-kun your partner will be Imai-san and Hikari-chan your partner will be Nogi-kun. For sleeping arrangements until your rooms are ready it will be vice-versa." He said again as he looked around the room. I glanced at the Blondie and noticed that he looked down again. So it came to this huh? I was stuck with him. What was his name again? Nogi Ruka wasn't it, oh why did I care? It wasn't like I was some crazed fan girl or anything. As far as I was concerned I would only see him in class, in fact I didn't even want to see him here. I didn't want to see anyone here for that matter, they all seem very annoying. I didn't need any rumors being spread about me, but then I would have to burn someone wouldn't I?

Humph, I would put any of these wet behind the ears chumps in their place before I let them get away with gossiping about me. But it would be fun to punish their sorry asses and teach them that I didn't take any crap. I glanced at the blonde haired boy and then noticed a bunny on his lap. Wait were my eyes playing tricks on me? A bunny? A freaking bunny were you pulling my leg? What was with the bunny? He glanced in my direction and I locked eyes with him, his bangs covered part of his eyes, his blue eyes. He didn't look like he was fully Japanese, probably mixed, or dyed his hair. Wait why was I thinking about Bunny-Boy now? "…Hi…." I softly mumbled and noticed the bunny sniffing my arm. I cocked an eyebrow and stared at it, why was it trying to be cute? "…..Hi…." he finally mumbled as he pulled the bunny back and patted its head. End of our 'conversation' finally! Oh that damned rodent needs to stop looking at me like that! I glared at the ball of fur and it continued its stare as if it was possessed. Before any of you go off saying that I was an animal hater or anything, I wasn't, I actually liked animals I just hated being stared at. And that rodent wasn't blinking either! I shifted uncomfortably on the bench, it was either that he noticed me being uncomfortable or he noticed that the bunny was looking at me still, because he started whispering to the bunny. Soon the bunny paid no attention to me, I felt relieved at that.

Then Sensei started to speak again. "Well since we're all clear… Bye-Bye~!" He quickly left the room and shut the doors, leaving a rather weak looking teacher with long black hair tied in a ponytail. 'Umm … so much for him being a teacher. What kind of teacher just leaves? None of my previous teachers ever did something like that, they just stood up there with their boring speeches and 'You can do anything!' quotes.' I thought with mixed feelings. 'I think I've finally found an interesting teacher, befriend him? No, just observe and see who's side he's really on.' I could feel the sides of my mouth forming a small smile, why? I didn't really know myself; but I did know a few things:

1. He reminded me of my goofy father, always smiling and making a quick exit.

2. I felt like I knew him from somewhere… I didn't know where but, I just felt this way.

And finally 3. I knew was that this was going to be one interesting year. And I think I was actually happy about that…

I stole a last glance in the direction of Manga-Boy and Bunny-Boy. Both of them emitted a 'cool' aura, sort of bad boy-ish if you knew what I meant. Hmm, interesting. He wasn't paying any attention though… Wait a minute what the hell am I thinking? Was I going soft? Hell freakin' no I wasn't! I didn't know them and didn't want to know them that included the gay sensei! I was observing everyone so you all will get that clear! I didn't feel anything towards them; those damn misfits were all just weird in my book! I was Tsubasa Hikari the daughter of Kuroshima Misaki and Tsubasa Kazuki! Two families that were well known for their strong females, I refuse to be soft! I had my family names to live up to after all… I clutched my hands into fists as the 'Sensei' was trying to calm everyone down. 'It's too loud in here…' I thought annoyed. 'Should I just leave, I could easily do that. Don't know where I'll go but I could just walk out.' I decided against it and thought about what would happen from here on out. How long would it be until I avenged their deaths? How long until I could bust out of here? I certainly didn't want to stay in this dump; well I guessed it was time to make escape plans. I definitely won't let their deaths be in vain, but I also couldn't lose myself… I promised her that I wouldn't, and I planned to keep that promise…

During Break…

Finally there's a break! If there was one thing I hated it was people staring at me… during classes. Yes I knew it seemed strange but so many people looked in my direction and stared… stared like they had no lives! Well at least there was no more staring- Oh just perfect some annoying chestnut brown haired girl with hazel eyes is now next to me and staring! 'Wait wasn't she just next to Manga-Boy a few seconds ago?' I thought puzzled. "Hi I'm Sakura Mikan!" she squeaked in one of the most high-pitched, naïve and 100%ly IRRITATING voices I had ever heard in my life time! I winced and she looked confused, wasn't it kind of obvious that I was aggravated by her talking? She turned and repeated her four word sentence to Onii-san; unlike me he smiled happily and said. "I'm Tsubasa Hikaru; it's a pleasure to meet you!" Somebody shoot him please! "More like you're Tsubasa Idiot if you asked me…" I mumbled loud enough for anyone sitting or standing near me to hear. He quickly looked at me with his version of an extremely pissed off face, which wasn't even scary or angry looking, no he was just barely busting a gut! "Well no one asked you now did they?" he attempted to hiss. I leaned forward on the desk and put my face a mere couple of inches from his. "Your 'anger' is funny, if you can't be angry without smiling like a fool then how would you intimidate anyone Onii-san? And even if no one asked me I still have the right to talk, and you ain't going to take that right from me, you got that?" I asked, well more hissed.

He flinched and backed up, partially frightened, yes him being afraid of his younger sister was pretty pathetic but then again all the guys in my family were. It went along with the thing of being a girl that was one day going to be the 'toughest' girl in the two family lines because I had a parent from both Tsubasa and Kuroshima. Also Onii-san was well aware of the fact that I could kill him if I wanted to, and the way he would be killed by me would be in his greatest fear –burned alive - but not even I was that cruel. I leaned back against the seat and tried to ignore the stares of every other person in the room, a few went back to what they were previously doing but many became interested in what was happening over here. Which I remind you was none of their freaking business! "What is your alice Tsubasa-san?" 'Mikan', who I now dub Fruity because she smells like fruit and because of her name, asked me. "…None ya…" I muttered angrily. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at her. She gulped then looked at Onii-san and asked the same damn question. "What is your alice?" He looked up at her innocently and smiled. "I have two." He started as she nodded. "I have Vocal Pheromone and Water alices." "I have Nullification." Fruity squeaked in reply. 'That's the most useful one I've ever heard of.' I thought sarcastically.

"Hey what is your sister's alice since she doesn't want to tell?" she asked Onii-san. He looked slightly horrified and glanced at me for any sign of me saying 'It's OK you can tell her for me!' but no all I did was glare. I didn't want anyone here to know of my alices, there was nothing great about being an alice… nothing at all. "It's not my place to say…" he trailed off. Oh my god he actually did something right! "But-" Fruity started before I cut her off. "Shut up already your annoying the hell out of me with that voice of yours." Yeah plenty of heads shot in my direction for that one. She looked at me with teary eyes, lucky for me guilt went on vacation! "W-what?" she squeaked. "Who dubbed you Queen where you have to know everything about everyone? I'll tell you this once and only once Fruity, there's nothing great about being an alice!" I said with narrowed eyes. "Fruity?" Onii-san asked confused. Then he seemed to remember that I didn't care much for people's actual names if I didn't respect them. "What? An alice criticizing alices? That's-" some girl started before I finished her sentence. "Unheard of. Not really, I'm not the only one who hates them; plenty of my family did and still do. And I knew a lot of people who weren't relatives who did." "Do you even know how special alices are?" she retorted. "Yes, well how special they're supposed to be. What's the point of these 'elitists' who are 'protected' by the government? You know what I think; I think normal people are above alices. Why, because more than half of these 'protected' alices are a bunch of stuck up bastards. If they aren't conceited assholes then they either have no self-esteem so they suck up to everyone else in the world, aren't afraid to voice their opinions about the stuck up ones or don't give a shit about anyone else who has a bad opinion because they actually want to get somewhere in life and won't let no jackasses slow them down." I countered.

Everyone in the room was dumbstruck, some of them had their mouths open in a huge 'O' others just an amusing stare. What have they never been told the truth? Sheesh they're all a bunch of unknowledgeable misfits. Literally none of them go together correctly, even raw fish and white rice go together better! "Wait, I get it. Are you really an alice?" the girl finally said. "Of course I have an alice you idiot! Why the hell would I even be here if I didn't?" I retorted angrily. "Well then why won't you tell us what it is?" the green hair girl shouted! "Because I don't remember being told to tell the whole freaking world what my alices are!" I replied bitterly. I heavily sighed then smirked. "I'll say one then show the other, is that fair enough for you?" I asked with a sickeningly evil tone. She took a step back. "Y-yeah." She replied a bit shaken. "Alright then one of them is Vocal Pheromone." Everyone watching seemed to nod. "The other is…" I trailed off as a flame appeared in my hand and I burned part of her hair. She squealed in surprise and looked taken aback. "If you can't guess already then you truly are an idiot. But this is your only warning, mess with me again and you won't have to worry about your hair." I hissed before walking out the back door of the room. As I left though I could have sworn I heard Onii-san faintly call my name. Well if none of you have guessed it, it was fire. Oh great so now on my first day I was Arch-Enemy Number One in just about everyone's book! Perfect wasn't it?
