True Love
Chapter One: Old Friends Unit
Monday morning Mikan was packing all her belongings together getting ready to go to the academy. She had just turned fourteen in January and was given an invitation from Gauken Alice Academy to attend their school. Mikan had long auburn hair that she always loved to put in a ponytail. She was crying the night before because the letter had said that she wouldn't be able to see her grandfather for a long time until she graduated from the school. Mikan was putting her final personal items into a suitcase when her grandfather walked into her room. "This is the best remember?" Her grandfather said soothingly, "You get to explore the new city and life, unlike here you go to a small village school that is disconnected from all the high and mighty towns and won't you also be able to see Hortaru-San again?
"Yeah," Mikan said sadly, "I guess so."
"Don't be sad Mikan, or I'll be even more worried when you leave me here."
"Grandpa, I'm going to miss you so much!"
"I'll miss you too Mikan, and don't forget to write to me."
"I'll won't!"
"Oh! The car came early then expected."
A black Mercedes pulled up to the curb in front of Mikan's grandfather's house. A man in a black suit came from the driver's seat and opened the back door for Mikan to get in. Mikan grabbed her suitcases and other things she had packed and hurried outside to go into the car. "Bye grandpa!" Mikan yelled waving her hand wildly towards her grandfather.
"Bye, bye Mikan! Don't forget to write!" Mikan's grandfather yelled.
The back door closed once Mikan was seated in the car. Mikan turned around to the back window and waved to her grandfather and he waved back. Mikan kept waving until she couldn't see him anymore. In about thirty minutes, they were already at the gate of the academy. The whole academy was a titanic size. A metal gate was around the whole perimeter of the academy. Once Mikan had shut the door of the Mercedes, it quickly backed away and drove out of site. Mikan walked up to the big gate entrance that was guarded by a police man. Mikan walked up to the gigantic gate and saw a man on the ground sleeping. Mikan walked up to the man and thought he was a teacher or a worker for the academy. "Excuse me," Mikan said in an innocent voice, "Do you know how to get the police man to let you into the academy?"
The man looked up at Mikan and the put his head back down. "Go into that silver car and tell to driver that you're a student of the academy and then, he'll take you right inside." Said the man while pointing to the car.
"Thank you, mister!"
Mikan walked to the car and when Mikan was almost half way to the car, the man chuckled and then whistled a little tune.
When Mikan was half way to the car, another man came running after her. "It's a trap!" the man yelled, "Don't go into the car!"
Before Mikan could fully understand what the man had said, a pair of hands were on her shoulders. The hands were gripping her shoulders very tightly and Mikan could also feel the man trembling. Mikan quickly put her hands over the man's hand and instantly flipped the man. The man came crashing down on the ground and mad a tremble shirking noise. She quickly ran behind the man who saved her from being abducted by those people. "Who exactly are you anyways?" asked Mikan staring up at the man's face.
The man had shoulder length hair and was blonde. He wore an earring on his left ear and was dressed up like a woman would. His eyes sparkled, his eyes were blue, and his hair was tied up in a pony tail. "My name is Narumi Anjo and I'm a teacher at this school." Said Narumi.
"My name is Mikan Sakura and I got a letter sent from here that told me that I should enroll into this school."
The man, who was beside the fence, ran towards the silver car and then when the car door shut, the car drove away. Mikan and Narumi were the last ones left in front of the gate. "Mikan-Chan do you know what an Alice is?" asked Narumi.
"No, what is it?" Mikan asked.
"It's a power that only a few people posses when they are born or, when the slowly get older, their Alices start to develop."
"That sounds so awesome to have!" Mikan said excitedly, "What's your Alice Narumi-Sensei?"
"Well… I'll give you a h-"
At that moment, the brick wall that was a few yards away from Mikan and Narumi exploded. The blast made Mikan and Narumi tumble over a few feet.
Mikan looked up and saw a boy around her age wearing a black cat mask. The boy was on top of the disfigured wall and was staring out at the blue sky. Then, Mikan suddenly had a flash back of a boy who just flicked her in the head. Then, the image was shattered from the sound of someone crying in the distance. Mikan looked around to see who was the one responsible for the action. A little boy with dark red hair was sitting on the ground and looked helplessly for someone. Then, Mikan saw something red and black hurling towards the boy. Mikan hurled herself towards the boy and slid on the ground on the hard chunks of the brick wall. Mikan could feel something suddenly hitting Mikan on the back of her neck. Mikan held the child tighter and tried not to scream but, Mikan made a moaning sound and trying to keep the boy shielded by anything dangerous. A few minutes later, Mikan let go of the boy and then she automatically clutched her neck where she felt the pain. When Mikan looked at the boy, he looked perfectly fine besides him crying. Mikan watched as the little boy was reunited with his mother and father.
Mikan slowly and steadily stood up and looked at Narumi and the boy with the mask. Narumi got a whip that was a greenish color and the whip end wrapped around the boy's leg like it had a life of its own. Narumi yanked on the other end of the whip and the boy came crashing onto the ground. When the boy hit the ground his mask came off. Mikan eyes widen as how handsome the boy looked but didn't say anything. The boy's raven-black hair shined from the sun reflecting. Mikan could barely see his eyes but could tell that the eyes were crimson and was filled with rage and hatred. "He looks familiar some how." Mikan thought to herself, "Have I met him before when I was younger?"
Mikan looked up at Narumi and asked, "Who is he?"
"This young man here is Natsume Hyuuga. He's fourteen and his birthday is in November 27. His Alice is Fire and he has a bad attitude all the time so, I'd try not to get on his bad side or something might happen to you or your hair."
"You per-!" Natsume screamed but, before he could finish his sentence, Narumi blew into Natsume's ear and then, he fell unconscious.
Narumi put Natsume on top of his left shoulder and extended his hand towards Mikan. "Shall we go, Mikan-Chan?" asked Narumi.
"Okay." Mikan stuttered to say.
Mikan accepted his hand and then Narumi nodded to the guard and then the gigantic gates opened and Mikan, Narumi, and Natsume went into the academy.
Narumi lead Mikan into a huge room furnished like a living room. Four large windows were placed at the left hand side of where the two large couches were put into place. The place was tidy and was practical sparkling with cleanness. Narumi quickly but, carefully laid Natsume on one of the large couches. Narumi stretched his back outward and then made a brief look around the place and then turned to Mikan. "Mikan-Chan, I'll be leaving for a while so please don't leave the room unless an adult tells you too alright?"
He said with a smile. "Alright…I'll wait until you come back then." Mikan replied with a smile.
Once again he smiled and then he left the room. It was quiet and unbearable to see the boy around Mikan's age sleeping. Mikan sat on the couch facing the one Natsume was sleeping on and made a heavy sigh. "Natsume," Mikan said looking up at the ceiling, "Did I meet you when I was small?"
Mikan looked at Natsume hoping that he would reply but, not a word came from his lips. Mikan flipped her hair that was in her face to the side. "Did I have a crush on you? Why can't I remember anything before first grade? What happened to make this happen?!"
Mikan put her face on her hands and just stayed like that for a few minutes.
Then, Mikan heard something stir and then looked at Natsume. Mikan took a few steps towards him but, before she could make it over to him, he had already woken up and sitting up straight. It made Mikan flinch back and look at him with her eyes widen. "Why do you talk so much?! You stupid idiot! Why are you in the same room as me you cow, pervert, molester! Are you Naru's perverted daughter?!"
"For your information, I'm not his daughter and I'm not all those things you called me you fox!" Mikan screamed back.
Natsume got pissed off and went up to Mikan and put her in a head lock. Then, made her fall onto the couch that he was just laying on. Before Mikan could curse at him for doing that, one of the large windows was broken into by a boy with blonde hair. He rolled on the floor and looked outside the window to see if anyone was watching him from outside. The boy went towards Natsume and saw him over Mikan and his face turned bright red. He turned away and looked out the window. A few seconds past and then, Mikan realized that she was under Natsume. She pushed him away and ran towards the door but, before she could run out, Natsume was holding the door shut.
Mikan tugged and tugged but, he was much stronger then Mikan was. Natsume put his free left arm around Mikan's waist and carried her like a sack of potatoes. Mikan punched and kicked at him to make him let go. He dumped Mikan on the couch again and lifted up her skirt and peeked under. Mikan faced turned red with embarrassment while Natsume's face made a sinister smile. Mikan sat straight up an put her hands in front of her skirt so if he tried again he wouldn't succeed. Mikan, the blonde haired boy, and Natsume heard the sound of the people coming towards the room. "Natsume, we got to go now, before we get caught." The blonde haired boy already positioning himself to jump out of the window.
"Alright Luca, see ya…polka dotted panties." Natsume said with a smirk.
Mikan turned bright red and then stood up. "You bastard, you molester, you…PERVERT!"
"Whatever." Natsume said while walking towards the broken window, "Let's get out of here Luca."
"Alright," Luca said without really understanding what he said to Mikan.
They both jumped out and then fled the scene and left Mikan there in shock. Mikan couldn't help but curse at that stupid, idiotic, perverted, fox! She couldn't believe a guy like him would do such a thing!
The large double door crashed open with Narumi rushing inside to see what had happen. He looked around and then looked at Mikan with a questioning look on his face. Without Mikan even thinking, she ran towards Narumi and hugged onto his chest. Narumi was a few feet higher then Mikan. He started to smooth her hair down and try to calm her down. After about thirty minutes of telling what happen to her, Narumi tried to make Mikan super duper happy. "Taa, Daa!" Narumi said while pulling something from behind his back.
"What's that?" Mikan asked with a confused look.
"This is you school uniform that you will be wearing. Isn't this great?! The principle accepted you into he academy!"
"I'm so happy! Now I can go and see Hortaru!"
"Well…I'll get out and let you change into your clothes."
"Okay."
Narumi closed the door behind him while Mikan put the uniform against her chest to see how it looked. It was a long sleeved black shirt with a collar, a pair of black shoes with, long knee-high black socks, a mini skirt with dark red and red checkered patterns, a head band with the same patterns as the skirt, and a dark red gem on a silver chain. When Mikan finished changing she looked herself up and down from the large mirror that was against the wall behind the coach that Mikan was sitting on. Mikan put the necklace into the sun and saw it shine so bright it was hard to see anything. It wasn't any ordinary stone but, Mikan couldn't but a finger on what kind of gem it was so, Mikan just put the necklace on. Mikan heard a knock on the door and opened it. Narumi looked Mikan up and down and then made a whistling sound that made Mikan blush. "You look stunning Mikan-Chan!" Narumi said.
"Thanks." Mikan said looking at her feet, "Um…Narumi-Sensei can I ask you something?"
"Yes what is it?"
Mikan pulled out the necklace that was under her shirt and showed it to him, "This isn't a regular gem is it?" Mikan asked, "Whose is this?"
"You'll see sooner or later while you're in the academy."
"Does everyone have one?"
"Yes but, they don't know what's for either so, don't bother asking them about it."
"Alright, Sensei."
"One more thing."
"What is it, Sensei?"
"Don't show yours to anyone except to a teacher, is that understood?"
"Why?"
"Yours is very…unique and many people will do anything to get their hands on it."
"Alright then."
Narumi extended his hand towards Mikan and said with a smile, "Let's go to your homeroom!"
"Alright!" Mikan said happily.
