Alice Academy: Spring Breeze
Chapter 1: Yakusoku!! (Promise!!)
By: 'CyberFuji'
In the middle of cold and stormy night, Mikan is sleeping until a breeze whispered to her ears. And then, she woke up, because she taught someone's voice calling up her name but when she saw the window it was widely open also the teardrops of the storm is coming in to her room. She closed it and back to her bed, but Mikan didn't sleep because she remembered a person who is really close to her died in an accident. And the name of that person is Hyuuga Natsume.
Hyuuga Natsume died in a fire accident in the Alice Training Camp. And this is the story how it was happen.
5 years ago.. They were 13 yrs. Old
Natsume and Mikan are heading to the library, when a member of the Student Committee appears before them. The Persona ordered him to take Natsume to him. Without hesitating, Natsume told to Mikan to wait for him in the library, and then he followed the member.
When Natsume is back, he saw Mikan looking something then he come closer to her and sits beside her and ten he asks.
"What are you looking at?"
"Oh, you're here. I'm just looking at this yearbook. Look at this, he is Narumi-sensei, he's young and cute. By the way, why did The Persona called you?" Mikan asked.
"He just reminded me about the Training Camp" Natsume answered.
"You know what.. I fear the Greeks even they give a gift" Mikan said.
"What didi you said? Are you sick?" Natsume asked.
"Oh, that was one of the Greek proverbs. It was delivered by King Priam of Troy" Mikan said. "Hey, read this one:
'Thou knowest that I will not lie
Never shalt thou be stained by baseness.
Yet a day of doom shall come upon thee,
A day of wrath and a day of anguish.
But ever remember, ruler of men,
That fortune lies in the hero's life.
And a nobler man shall never live
Beneath the sun than Siegfried'
What did you think about this proverb of Norse Mythology?" Mikan asked.
Natsume is thinking deeply and answer. "I don't get it!"
"Look, if the day of darkness and sadness of your life will come… Someone will be your hero and save you from that day" Mikan replied.
"So, who is the 'hero' that you are talking about?" Natsume asked.
"That 'hero' is… ME!" Mikan answered.
Natsume stand up and said, "Alright, that's the foolish thing that I ever heard! Let's go to my room, I have something to show you."
"Natsume! I'm just joking!" Mikan runs to Natsume.
Then, they left the library and went to Natsume's room. When they get there, Natsume gets a chair to Mikan so she can sit. Natsume is looking for something. He looked at the cabinet; it is not there nor on the shelves. Until he remembered that he put it under his bed. And Mikan asks.
"Did you found it? What is it?" then Natsume grabbed the left hand of Mikan. When she saw it, it was a silver necklace with a garnet pendant at the middle. "Natsume? Are you giving this to me? Why?"
"Actually, I'm going to leave tomorrow at 7 am" Natsume said.
Mikan was shocked and said, "Tomorrow?! Why? I thought it would be next week!?"
Natsume explains everything to Mikan.
"How long it will take?" Mikan asked.
"The Persona wants me to stay there in 3 years" Natsume answered.
"3 years.. huh?! It is not so long. I'll be waiting for you, Natsume" Mikan answered politely.
They haven't notice that it is eight o'clock of the evening and Mikan should go back to her room. Natsume calls her before whe totally left the room.
"What is it?" Mikan asked.
Natsume pull her, touch the back of her neck and he kissed Mikan on her lips and said, "Oyasumi, Mikan!" then he closes the door and Mikan smiles, and return to her room.
After that unforgettable night for Mikan, the next day is the day for Natsume leaves her and the academy. Ruka, Hotaru and all his friends are there to say 'goodbye' to him but Mikan is in her room and thinking if she will say 'goodbye' or not. But when she heard the sound of engine, she grabbed a thing and run outside. Fortunately, she make it. Natsume was surprised.
"Natsume, I… I was thinking not to show up to you" Mikan said and then she cries, "But when I realize those three years is too long, I was afraid…"
"Mikan…" Natsume said and embraced her tightly and said, "Don't worry I promise to you that I will be back after my training."
"Yakusoku?" Mikan asked.
"Um! Yakusoku!" Natsume answered.
Then Mikan shows her lace, her favorite thing. She gives the lace to Natsume.
"I give this lace to you as a symbol of our friendship… not just me but all of the students in this Alice Academy" Mikan said." If you miss us just look at this lace and think of us who are waiting for you to come back."
"Natsume-san, we must go now" the driver said.
"Alright! So, Mikan I'm leaving now!" Natsume said.
"Be careful! We're gonna miss you!' Mikan said.
Then, the car is moving away from the academy and from the eyes of Mikan. While it is moving away, Mikan's tears are flowing down to her cheeks and stop crying.
