Mikan and gang- 15 Tsubasa, Misaki- 17
I do not own Gakuen Alice
Mikan's Pov
"Mikan, now you are going to get it! You did another thing wrong!" my mother shouted at me, taking out her whip. She used to be kind and generous. I still love her but I can't stand this abuse. It all started 7 years ago.
Flashback
"Let's go to the park today. It is really nice out." My mother said with a smile. I nodded my head as I put on my shoes. My father was prepared already.
"Are you ready yet, Mikan?" my father asked me.
"Yes, otou-san, we can go now." I said grabbing my father and mother's hands. We started walking down the street. We arrived at the park calmly and happily. We had discussed things in the range of hobbies to friends. I saw the ice cream truck come by.
"I am going to go get an ice cream. Would you like one?" I asked. They shook their heads as I started running off. The ice cream truck started moving so I ran to catch up to it.
"You should get back and forget about the ice cream!" my father yelled when he saw me almost around the corner. I started running back towards him. While I was crossing the street I saw the ice cream truck. I was always a clutzy person. I started jumping up and down happily, forgetting that I was in the middle of the street. I tripped over my shoe laces. I saw a car speeding up towards me.
"Mikan!" I heard my father and mother scream. My father jumped onto the road and pushed me away from the street. The car smashed into him. The driver just happened to be drunk and the people behind him were too so they ran him over as well. All you could see was blood from his body, drenching all over the floor.
"OTOU-SAN, NO!" I yelled. My mother rushed up to me. By the time we got him to the hospital, it was too late. When we arrived home, my mother was furious. I went upstairs to my room to put my things away. I came down again because I heard things falling and smashing.
"You, it was you who did this to me." she yelled with a china plate in her hand. She threw it at me. I was never one to have fast reflexes, so it hit me with a direct shot.
"Okaa-san, what is wrong?" I asked shielding myself from the china she was throwing at me.
"What do you mean, what is wrong? You killed the only one that loved me. You killed him and you will pay!" she yelled. She started choking me, but we heard the doorbell. She put me down and walked towards the door. I flew to my room and cried. I cried my heart out. Ever since then, my mother has abused me about everything I do wrong.
Flashback End
My mother finished whipping me and I ran up to my room. I cried, like I always did after a whipping. I just couldn't stop the habit of doing nothing and just crying after letting her abuse me. I cried myself to sleep.
Next Day Mikan's POV Still
I got up in the morning at my usual time. I got ready quickly and made my way towards the door. My mother was in the kitchen as I grabbed an apple for a quick breakfast.
"What do you think you are doing?!" she yelled.
"I wanted to eat breakfast, okaa-san." I said quietly.
"Those were new apples, and now they are infected by a filthy person like you. When you get back, you are getting the whipping of your life." She said. I started walking away with the apple still in my hand. She came up to me and slapped my hand.
"Leave the apple. You are not having breakfast." She said. The apple fell out my hand and I ran out of the house. Who knew what she would do to me since I dropped that apple on the floor? When I was close to the public park, I slowed down. I lived far from the school in a small alley. I approached my school. I quickly shuffled into homeroom after getting everything I needed from my locker.
"*Mikan Sakura to the office*" I heard over the loud speaker.
"Who is Mikan Sakura?" everyone in my classroom was asking each other. I got up and walked out the door. They didn't notice that I walked out because I was invisible to everybody at the school.
"You called me Mr. Kimoto?" I said as I arrived at the office. I saw him sitting at his desk, but he wasn't alone. Next to him were two men, one with blonde hair and purple eyes and the other wearing all black and a white mask.
"Mikan, you are transferring schools." He said. My eyes widened.
"Why, my mother didn't sign any transfer forms." I questioned.
"Relax, Mikan. I am Anju Narumi. I am going to be your teacher at Alice Academy." The man with blonde hair said.
"You mean the Alice Academy for rich and smart kids?" I asked him.
"Yes, but they are different. I shall explain that to you when we arrive at the school. Right now, though, we are sending you home to inform your mother and start packing. We are taking you to the school right away. We will be at your house at 10." He answered. It was 8, so I had 1 hour to get whipped and one hour to pack. There was not much to do. I walked off with my eyes wide.
At Mikan's House Still Mikan's POV
"Okaa-san, I am home. I have some news." I said walking into my house.
"What is it and make it quick because you are going to get a whipping for leaving school." She said coldly to me.
"The principal wants me to transfer to Alice Academy. The representatives will be here at 10 to pick me up." I said. She got up and took out her whip. She started whipping me viciously.
"Mikan, you are so useless! You don't care about your mother in any way! You know that we can't afford that school and you still fill out transfer forms by yourself! You little bitch! First you drop a perfect apple, and then you come home telling me I have to spend more money on you, a worthless little brat like you!" she yelled, still whipping me and now throwing china at me. I was getting cuts and bruises all over. After an hour she stopped. All I could do was cry for half an hour. My clock said 9:30 so I started packing. I didn't have much to pack so I finished in 15 minutes. I spent the rest of them finding some clothes that would cover all my bruises up so I would look presentable and not make it obvious of my abuse in front of Narumi.
"Ding Dong!" I heard. I walked down the stairs slowly, to see if my mother was calm yet. She was and she was walking to the door.
"Good day sir. You must be here to pick up my sweet daughter, Mikan. Here she is." She said pointing at me as I went down the stairwell. I smiled at Narumi.
"So, will I be seeing her again sometime?" She said sounding concerned.
"Of course you can, every Sunday, parents are allowed to enter the school and visit their child, which means you can visit her in 2 days." Narumi said. I smiled at his energy but was sad that she would be able to come and see me.
"Goodbye, okaa-san. I will miss you." I said walking out of the door. Before I left, she gave me a kiss on the forehead and a hug. I knew they really didn't mean anything. It was all just an act. She wouldn't have done that if there wasn't another person watching. I walked into a black Mercedes Benz. I had never seen such a nice car before. I sat in the car and the man from before was sitting in the driver's seat. Narumi sat in the front next to him, in the passenger's seat. For the entire trip, I looked out the window. I eventually fell asleep.
"Mikan, we are here now. Wake up please." I heard as I awoke. The door was open and I flew out of the car the minute I saw how big the place was. The place is huge!!!! How do these people afford to pay bills?!! I thought with wide eyes. He chuckled.
"Mikan, this school is protected by the government." He said.
"Why is it protected by the government?" I asked quietly, still stunned at the school but calming down now and not look as surprised as earlier.
"This school is not only for smart people, but people that have a natural and special ability." He said with a smile still placed on his face.
"S-So do I have a special ability?" I said still quietly but pointing to myself. He nodded. I wasn't the type of person that was big on words since people always thought of me as invisible.
"Your abilities are nullification and SCE." He said. I gave him a confused look.
"If you have the nullification alice, nobody's alice can harm you. SCE stands for steal-copy-erase. You can steal, copy, or erase somebody's alice, as well as do all three. I don't think you should tell many people about that one though, because they will probably crowd away from you." He said scratching the back of his head at the last part. I nodded my head.
"So where will I be sleeping?" I asked looking down at my shoes.
"I will give you a tour of the campus grounds and then we will see the high school principal." He said. He started walking as I followed.
I nodded shyly and quietly. He nodded his head at me and continued to walk. I left my things in my special room dorm and got my unlimited rabbit card. The high school principal gave it to me as a gift, but I don't know why he would. I took a bus to a place called central town and bought a lot of long sleeved shirts. I stayed in my dorm for the rest of the day organizing everything.
Next Day Mikan's POV Still (I should start switching POVs soon.)
"Okay class, we have a new student. Her name is Mikan Sakura. Natsume, you will be her partner. Free period." I heard Narumi say to the class. Everyone was ignoring him when I walked in. I just took the lonely seat in the back of the classroom. I took out a book that I bought when I was shopping in Central Town. It was too loud for me so I walked out of the classroom. For a second I thought I saw the class staring at me. I went outside and sat at a sakura tree that was outside of my homeroom. I climbed up the tree and sat on its branch. I finished reading my book before first period ended. I walked back into the classroom. They stared at me again as I walked in but only for a second. That's awkward cuz I am usually never noticed. I'm so used to it now.
Lunch Hotaru's POV
I want to know who that new girl is. She didn't try to talk to anybody. It is just not normal to act that way. I grabbed my lunch and went to my table.
"What is that girl's name?" I asked Yuu.
"I think I heard Narumi say her name was Mikan Sakura. I find that she is very interesting the way she didn't talk to anybody. It was weird that she didn't even notice Natsume." He said in response to my question.
"I see, I am going to follow her after classes." I said.
"Would you like to come with me?" I asked. He shook his head. Yuu never gets into trouble and I don't think he wants to start now by stalking the new girl. She was sitting at an empty table. I wasn't about to just get up and go talk to her.
After All The Classes Still Hotaru's POV
I got up on my duck scooter when classes ended. I decided that the safest way to follow her outside of the buildings is through my scooter since she wouldn't be able to hear anything. I followed her on the duck scooter until we arrived at the dormitories. I got down and placed the scooter in my invisible-to-everyone-else-but-me bag. With my blackmailing skills, it was very easy for me to follow her without being noticed. She went all the way up to the 4th floor. That floor was only for special students. I wonder what she is doing up there? Once she closed the door behind her, I walked up to the door and listened for anything she might say.
"BANG, BANG, BANG. Why can't I be invisible like before?!" she yelled at herself. My guess was that she was banging her head on the door yelling at herself because the door was vibrating. I walked away, knowing enough information for the day. I wrote down the information:
Name: Mikan Sakura
Age: 15 obviously because she is in our class
Class: Special
Note: Wants to be invisible.
My work was done for the day and it was time to go to the lab.
Next Day Mikan's POV (It is Saturday! Know that I am not good at keeping track of dates.)
I woke up at 10 today. Thank the lord that there aren't any classes on Saturdays at this school. I should get up and go shopping for more long sleeved shirts and pants. I hope nobody notices me. It is summer and everyone would be wondering why I wear long sleeved shirts and long pants. I couldn't possibly tell them that I was abused by my mother ever since I was 13. I got ready quickly so that I could leave as soon as possible.
At Central Town
I walked around central town looking for a place to shop. I hadn't looked entirely around the first time I came. I saw a Sexy Sweety right before my eyes. I was happy now. I walked in the store. I walked up to a saleslady.
"Excuse me, miss. I am Mikan Sakura, Kiyoko Sakura's only niece. Here is my id. I would like to know if I can go to the inventory room and look through some things." I whispered. She gasped. Everybody looked at her. I looked around to see how many people heard the gasp, and that was a lot. They soon thought it was nothing important and tended back to their business and shopping. She led me to the inventory room.
Hotaru's POV
Sumire had dragged me along with her to Sexy Sweety. I browsed around as well. I never said I didn't like their clothes anyway. I heard a gasp from a nearby saleslady. I looked back to see what the problem could be. I saw that Mikan girl standing with the saleslady. She turned back to the lady when everyone else turned around, though I was still watching. The saleslady led the Mikan girl to what seemed to be the inventory room. Later she came out with a lot of sweaters and long sleeved shirts that are a little loose, but not good for the summer over here. I raised an eyebrow. I walked towards a rack near the cash register to hear what she was saying.
"Thank you Ren-chan and don't forget not to tell anybody." Mikan said.
"No, thank you for shopping here Mikan-sama. I never thought that I would meet the only niece of Kiyoko Sakura, my boss, and the person I admire the most." The saleslady said. Mikan smiled and walked away. I was wide-eyed. Who knew that a girl that wanted to be invisible would be partially famous?
Mikan's POV
Thank the lord nobody noticed me. Ren-chan was nice. I will see her again soon. My aunt doesn't know about my mother's abusive ways. Being the niece of a business owner has its perks. I should get back now. I don't want my dorm to be a mess when my so called 'mother' gets here tomorrow. I went to my dorm and started cleaning everything up. My mother is not one for seeing a mess, but she usually made the messes and blamed it on me.
Next Day Mikan's POV Still
I looked out the window for any sign of my mother's arrival.
"Ahhh!" I yelled when I felt the cold leather whip slide harshly down my back. I turned around and saw my mother, more vicious than she had ever been. She threw a nearby plate at me next.
"Mom, why are you so angry?!" I yelled.
"Don't question me you bitchy whore! I am in debt and have an awful life all because you chose to go to a 'rich kid' school. You are nothing but a worthless nuisance!" she responded, still whipping and throwing things at me. I was shielding my eyes as much as I could, until I felt cold metal on my hands. My mother had handcuffed me, so that I wouldn't be able to block anything.
"I am not going to hit your face you whore. It will just be pure evidence of abuse if I do. Now stand up and don't move." She said fiercely yet coldly. I got up slowly and immediately fell back down with the whip she gave me. I started crying.
"Crying, are you now whore? That is the only thing you know how to do. Even if you could do more, you wouldn't be able to do those things to your poor mother, who had raised you and fed you, and took care of you." She said with an evil smirk on her face. I continued to whimper. This went on throughout the day. Non-stop whipping and broken china came my way. I was glad that I was alone on the top floor.
Next Day Homeroom Hotaru's POV
That Mikan Sakura troubled me. I always carry around extreme information on people, and yet this one wants to be invisible. I pondered the thoughts as I walked towards homeroom. I always got up early to start an invention in the classroom. I walked in and heard whimpering. I looked to the lonesome corner and on the floor was Mikan, crying what seemed to be her heart out. I walked back out and waited until I heard the whimpering and sobbing stop.
"Class, today is a free day. Enjoy the time!" Naru said skipping in and now out the door. Sumire and the rest of the gang walked over as the girl walked out with another book in her hand.
"Don't you think the new girl is weird?" Sumire asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
"She's probably a prostitute they got off the streets. I mean look at her. It is burning hot and she isn't wearing shorts and tanks. Does this girl have skin cancer or dry skin or something, cuz there is absolutely no reason why she should be wearing long sleeves and pants." Luna added on.
"She is probably partially blind too, because she didn't even greet Natsume-sama, right?" Usami said. I looked out the window and saw that Mikan was reading up on the sakura tree again. I turned back to the conversation.
"What do you think we should do?" Sumire asked Luna.
"Maybe we could get Koko to read her mind. We will figure out our plan after we hear her thoughts. She will have to eventually come back here." Luna planned.
"She is going somewhere and with all her stuff. Apparently she is not coming in this direction either." I pointed out. They all looked out the window and saw her walking away. Sumire grabbed me and started running with the rest of the class out of the door. We observed as she walked in and out of the dormitory complex. She went towards the bus stop. When the bus arrived, she got on, and so did we.
"Read her mind, Koko." Luna commanded. Koko focused and then his usual grin turned into a look of confusion.
"I can't read her mind." He said. Everyone gave an equally confused look.
"What is her alice?" Usami asked. Everyone shrugged their shoulders, including Yuu, who was dragged along as well. The bus came to a stop and the girl got off. That Mikan girl sure knew how to walk fast because by the time everyone was off, she was all the way at Sexy Sweety. They ran over to follow. We couldn't find her when we entered, and only I knew why.
Mikan's POV
I could sense and hear that everyone was following me, so I hid at Sexy Sweety. I asked Ren-chan to tell me when everyone around my age left. She did but I was cautious. I started getting used to my alices, so I copied a nearby alice. It was the invisibility alice and I walked around using it, until I got tired and laid down under a tree. I took a nap.
"Hey move." I heard as I awoke. How many times is somebody going to wake me up? I saw a drop-dead gorgeous guy standing before me. I started getting up. I wasn't going to tackle him as if I were a fangirl so I just got up and left. I could feel his crimson eyes burning through my back as I walked away. A blonde walked towards the dude. I never did get his name, but I didn't want to. He was so rude anyway. Who the hell does he think he is? Oh well, I should go to the book store and get a book to read tomorrow.
Natsume's POV
"Hey move." I said when I saw a girl sleeping at my spot. Instead of tackling me, she just got up and left the place. I stared at her wondering if she actually got a good look at me, because all the girls tackle me. This girl is different and she seems like the quiet type. I saw Ruka coming my way.
"Hey Ruka." I said as he sat down beside me.
"Did you see that girl? She didn't attack you." Ruka said. I nodded my head.
"Who is she?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders as we saw Imai walk by.
"Imai!" Ruka called. She turned her stoic face towards and walked over.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly.
"Do you have any information on that new girl? I have never seen her before." He said.
"I will tell you what I have if you let me take an embarrassing picture." She said. Ruka started freaking out because of her deal and Imai took the chance and took a picture.
"Imai!" he yelled again.
"Shut up. All I have is that her name is Mikan Sakura. She is 15 because she is in our class. And she is a special star." Imai said stoically. Ruka's eyes went wide, and so did mine but I didn't show it. I kept the same face on.
"That is impossible! Natsume is the only special star!" Ruka yelled.
"Not anymore. Nobody knows her alice. Koko's alice doesn't work on her, but that could be that she wasn't thinking anything at the time. Everyone wants to know her alice but they don't know that she is a special star, so you can't tell anybody until I get all the information. I also know one of her secrets but I won't tell anybody that because girls will hurdle her, and you guys wouldn't care." she said. She started walking away and Ruka was speechless. Who could this girl be?
