Act 1

I am a woman with no man

Lived by my own

Seizing the day by my own

And with a single tick of the clock

Everything did change

But I am a woman with no man

I am a woman

A woman am I

A certain girl in her teenage years unlocked the transparent sliding door going to her veranda. The cold night air gushed madly towards her. It's too cold but the feeling was soothing. It was fast but it comforted her with its gentle caress in her smooth white creamy skin. Then it started to slow down but still keeping her long golden locks dancing with it. She started to walk towards the black grills that border her veranda. She bent down and rested her arms on the edge of the grills. She looked at the mass of land that surrounds their house. She's looking everywhere, examining each single thing that registers into her mind but it was to dark to see all the beautiful things around her. Only the light from the moon reflects the scenery. It's an awesome place. A garden filled with different kinds of trees and flowers but what's so special about it was the lake in the middle. The moon reflects its beauty amidst the darkness engulfing it. The water with little sparkling crystals dancing on it while the water slowly moves. It made her happy, her chocolate eyes sparkle with the movements of the crystals in the water but there was a little tint of sadness in her eyes.

The girl is beautiful. She can be compared to the beautiful garden that she can see right now. Her golden hair matches her innocent chocolate orbs, her smooth and creamy skin, and thin body.

For her everything's perfect it's a very nice home but soon she'll leave this place. She heave a deep sigh and walked towards her room, closing the door gently. She sat on her bed and stared at the two big luggages in front of her. For awhile, she was looking at it blankly but soon she stood up leaving a small envelope in her bed. She got her bags and walked to her door going out of the room. With some last glimpse to her room she then closed the door.

Different people are walking in and out of the airport and one of them is the girl and she seems to be waiting for someone. She's standing and leaning on the wall at the side of the benches for waiting. She's already bored of waiting for this certain person but she's still beautiful despite the little impatience plastered on her face. She's wearing her golden locks that flows until the mid of her waist, it was slightly curled at the bottom of it. A simple white blouse with plump and fluffy ¾ sleeves, on top of it was a black vest supported by a red ribbon instead of buttons, a red plump skirt with the touch of white polka dots in it and black flats for her feet.

After her five minute waiting with an awkward feeling, because of the people staring at her here and there, the person she's waiting for soon came there.

He has black messy hair that end until his neck that matches his dark black eyes. He's also wearing a black earring on his left ear. He's wearing a black v- cut long sleeves shirt. The v- cut ends before you can fully see his creamy white chest. The shirt fits his body that you can fully see his sexy features. He's also wearing a beige pants and black shoes with it.

"Mikan." He called her with his velvety and husky voice. The girl then turned her gaze to the person calling her, she gave him a big bright smile and walked going to him.

"Mikan, are you sure of this?" he asked.

"Oni-chan, you know very well my reasons of leaving. I'm already at the limit of my patience, mom's being stubborn again. She still wants me to be married to that guy, because of some stupid promise. She doesn't even care about how I feel." She said with tears starting form on her chocolate eyes.

"Okay, I understand but starting to this day things will change and you need to remember that." he said.

"Hai Serio nii-chan!" she said with a bright smile. Serio then heave a small sigh and said. "You are really a head ache." He said while caressing her head.

THE TIME NOW IS 3:00 AM AND YOU'RE INSIDE THE MC CALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT…. FLIGHT PL 798 TO JAPAN NOW BOARDING….

"Come on, let's go we will be late for our flight." He said. They walked going to the entrance going to the airplane. After thirty minutes of waiting the plane started to move already going to Japan.

After eighteen hours of travel, they are already inside the airport of Japan. Serio got his car from the personnel of the airport and then helped Mikan with her bags. They travel again silently by land. Serio was about to say something to his sister but then when he turned to look at her on his side. She already fell asleep so he decided to just wait until she wakes up. And at last, after two hours of travel they came into Gakuen Alice. The big black gate then was opened by the security. Serio stopped for a moment and opened his black tinted window. He said. "Is Aika-san already there?" he asked.

"Yes, Sir. She just came. She's inside your office." Serio closed his window and moved on their way going to the main building of the school.

Mikan's POV

She didn't know that she already fell asleep. When she woke up, the car was stopped, her brother was not beside her and when she looked in front of her she saw the main building of the school. She opened the car's door and looked for her brother.

"Mikan." Someone said.

She turned to look at the owner of the voice and found his brother with a security taking her things out of the compartment.

"Sorry, I fell asleep." Mikan said while rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"It's okay. I know you're tired from the long travel. Come on to the dormitories, I'll lead you to your new room." Serio said. He took her hand and walked towards the hallway.

The hallway of the main building was already dark; it's only lighted by the dim lights of the Italian wall lights. The whole place has a touch of Italian concept from the smallest furniture to the largest ones. No wonder the concept is like this, because the owner is a half Italian and half Japanese woman which is my Auntie Aya, the sister of my mother Yuka Azumi.

End of POV

After the long walk, we are already inside the elevator going to the twelfth floor of the dormitory. "So what's your plan now?" Serio said.

"What do you mean?" Mikan said.

"To be able to hide from mom you need to have a plan. You know her she has all the connections on her hands which will make her find you easily." He explained while Mikan sweat dropped. "Uh-oh forgot about that." She thought. Serio who is looking at her at the side of his eyes was observing the scared look of her sister.

The elevator then stopped and opened its doors. They went out and got to the fourth room of the floor. It has gold plate that says Mikan Sakura on it. Serio was calling Mikan but it looks like she's in a deep thought. He then pokes her nose and that's when she reacted.

"What was that for?!" she said while pouting.

"You are deep in thought which is bad for an idiot, your brain might burst." He said coldly and without any emotions in his face.

"Oni-chan, you are so mean. You are like Hotaru-chan" Mikan said with a vein popping out of her head.

"I know that ever since. And by the way, what's your plan?" he said.

"Well, actually I don't have any plans at all." she said with an embarrassed face and while scratching her unitchy head.

"I know that will be your answer. Oh well, just rest for now and tomorrow Aika-san will help you with everything." He said.

"So you mean, you and Aika-san will help me? Arigatou oni-chan." She said while hugging him.

"Hai. Hai. Sleep now; it'll be a very long day for you tomorrow, so prepare for it.

Good night Mikan."

"Good night, brother."

Inside his office, he sat on his black leather office chair and placed his feet on his table. He closed his eyes and tried to rest and relax for awhile.

The whole room was dark and only the light from the moon serves as the light inside his office. After awhile, he sensed someone's presence inside his room. He didn't barge to move or even do a slight thing. Then that certain someone started to touch him on his forehead. The touch was cold but it's gentle and comforting at the same time.

"How's Mikan?" the person asked.

"She's doing fine, right now. She's already sleeping in her room." Serio said while opening his tired eyes and looked at the girl on his side. She has a long dark brown hair that goes until the top of her chest and it was slightly curled at the bottom, her eyes are dark navy blue that suits her and she's wearing a small make up that suits her plain black off-shoulder dress and it ends until before her knees with a matching black stilettos.

She sat on his table and crossed her long creamy legs and she said. "Did you tell her already of what she's going to do?" she asked.

"Well, I told her that we already have plan but I didn't tell her the details of everything." He said.

"So, I presume that I will see her cute shocked expression tomorrow when we start the plan?" she gave a small giggle while saying the word 'cute'.

"Take care of her." Serio said.

"I will."

"For now, rest for awhile. Tomorrow will be a very long day for you too." She said.

They both went inside the other door inside his office. And it revealed a master's bed and some personal things of Serio. Serio went straight to his bed and started to sleep. While Aika went to his closet and got him a clean white shirt with a panjama.

"Now, before you sleep change, first." She said and threw him the clothes.

She went at the side of his bed with her hands crossed on her chest. At first, he just looked at her and after a little while he sat up and started to put his clothes off. When he started stripping, Aika turned around not to be tempted by his hot and sexy body. But this wrong move gave him a chance to pull her on her waist and hugged her while lying on the bed.

"Serio, what are you doing?!" she said with a tint of blush on her cheeks. She's struggling hard to get off from his grasp but his strong enough to resist her movements.

"Stay here, first. Tomorrow I'll not see you for the whole day. You'll be with Mikan. Just give me this night." He whispered on her ear. Aika sighed and turned her body to face him.

"Fine, now sleep." She said.

Serio opened his eyes and snatched a peck on her lips before snuggling her close to him.
