Hey guys, this story is set in old times. So literally when Japan was still medieval. It's based loosely around a Korean drama though the plot changes throughout the story. The Korean drama is called Iljimae and it's awesome! Highly recommend it if you enjoy Korean drams like I do!
So yeah, I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE OR THE STORY LINE OF ILJIMAE.
"Father! Look how beautiful the sakura are this year! Will you teach me to draw them?"
The man gave a small smile at his daughter and looked up at the multiple trees. He watched his daughter run through the gardens, where several sakura trees stood tall.
"Come my daughter, I shall show you the techniques of drawing the sakura."
He watched as his daughter experimented with the colours and the technique he had taught her. The smile on her daughters face made the man smile instantly.
"Sugoi, my daughter! Your drawing looks wonderful. Why don't you go and show your mother and brother?"
"Hai!"
The young girl of eight years old gathered up her skirt and ran over to her mother who was sitting on the patio, with her younger brother.
"Mother! Look! Father taught me how to draw a sakura!"
The auburn haired women smiled at the drawing that her daughter had drawn. The younger boy laughed cheerfully as well. The whole entire family was happy and joyous. They were all amused by the interesting drawing the young girl had drawn. Though underneath the happiness, the man was having bad thoughts. That this year, would be the last time he would ever see the sakura bloom. That this would be the last time he would ever witness his happy family together again.
Night
Once his family was resting, the man went around locking the doors around his house. Suddenly, a rustle of the bushes made him turn around in the direction that the sound was heard.
"What are you doing here?"
A man walked up from behind the shadows and smirked at the man.
"Izumi, I had actually trusted you for a while. But you broke that trust. You promised that we'd serve him together. We'd remain brothers forever. Why did you lie? Why?"
"I'm sorry Kuonji, I didn't mean to. Hi-sama decided by herself to promote me. I had no idea."
"You liar! Traitor! Why bother lying to me anymore! Guards, find his family and kill them. I'll take care of him."
Unknown to him, the man's daughter was still awake and peeking through the door. Once she heard the man's command, she immediately tip-toed into the nearest cupboard and slammed it shut causing it to lock. She clutched her knees praying that her mother and younger brother would be able to escape.
Inside the cupboard, there was a small gap just wide enough for the young girl to peek out of. In the distance, she could make out the figure of her father fighting a dark-headed man. They both held long swords and were pointing them at each other. The girl rattled the cupboard as the other dark-headed man held the sword at her father's throat.
"Father! Father!" she cried.
Suddenly, some guards piled into the room checking every corner. Her mother and brother were not there, so she could only hope that they had escaped. But her father was in a difficult situation. The sword was still at his throat, threatening him and guards were still examining the room. A guard walked in front of the cupboard and she held her breath and crouched into a corner.
Please don't notice me! She pleaded in her head.
As the guard tried to open the lock, another guard rushed in. He confirmed that nobody was in the bedrooms.
"There's no one here as well." the guard confirmed and walked away from the cupboard.
She heaved a sigh of relief as she heard the footsteps grow further away and then peeked out to see if her father was still alright.
But the sword was still there at his neck. The picture carved into it was a strange symbol. It was shaped as the outline of a shield with strange dots and lines inside it.
Within a second, the dark-headed man pulled away but then stabbed the man. The man quickly fell to the ground and the figures of the guards started retreating.
"I'm sorry Izumi. But it was a must." the man concluded and walked away into the darkness.
Once she was sure everyone had left, the girl burst into loud sobs. She then used the key she had hidden in her skirt pocket and opened the lock. The girl tip-toed into the garden where her father blood drenched his blue coat and his body lay motionless on the soil. She ran over while crying.
"Father! It's me! Please! Wake up Father! Please!" she cried desperately.
But he did not speak. He only lay there looking up at the night sky and the sakura.
"Father! Please!"
Once her loud cries had turned into softer sobs, she ran out the gates and never took a second glance back at her lifeless father.
Two days later
The sun had risen again and the girl was parched and starved. She had not had any food or drink for about two days. Her skirt was torn and her feet were bruised. She had lost her shoes from running too much.
Suddenly, she crashed into a young boy who was dressed as a commoner and was carrying a bag of bread. He wore trousers and a torn up shirt. His raven coloured hair was messy and he had piercing crimson eyes. The girl stared at them with curiosity. Why were they red? She wanted to know.
"Um, I'm sorry." he muttered and walked off.
She raised an eyebrow at the disappearing figure and then continued walking.
Once she had reached the market, she saw a line of guards run by. They were holding up a painted picture of the girl's own face. She quickly ran away from the market.
The girl soon reached a small house that was no bigger than the stable from her original house. Inside, she saw that there was a young women and man crying. Why were they crying?
And then suddenly, the man walked out and spotted her standing there. He wore a casual pair of trousers and a blue shirt. His hair was down to his shoulders and was a pale blonde. He also had striking violet eyes.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
"I'm sorry! I'll leave right away!" she stuttered and started to walk off.
"Hey! I didn't saw you had to!" the man called after her but failed since the girl was already out of sight.
She looked so much like Yuka.
The girl walked back to her house. She saw her father still lying on the ground. Why did no one bother to carry him away? Then, she walked to the nearest sakura tree. This tree was the biggest out of all of the trees. It bloomed brighter than any other tree every year. She stared at it, then grabbed a sharp rock and started carving a word.
The word 'revenge'.
Father I'll get revenge for you. Was her last thought before she blacked out.
Unknown to her, a man with blonde hair came around the corner and smiled softly at her sleeping figure on the dirt.
"Your name is now Mikan Anjo and I, Narumi Anjo am your father. I'm sorry."
He picked her up and walked away with the sleeping figure in his arms.
Okay, so if you guys didn't get the last part, the man was obviously Narumi and he kinda used his alice on her to make her forget. I'm not sure how he could use a pheromone alice to make her get amnesia but lets just pretend that happened :P
