Natsume: Hn. Bakas...
Me & Mikan: HEY!!! (Steam coming out of our heads... ANIME STYLE!)
Neko: Gr... (breathe in, then out) WELL, some people are mean... (glares at a certain SOMEONE...) but my new characters aren't... unlike SOME people (GLARES.) Everyone, please welcome these two new characters!!! (At least, hopefully it stays at two XD)
Character 1: Ohayo minna-san. My name is Aya Sakurano. (bows gracefully)
Mikan: Sugoi!!! So KAWAII!!! Let's be friends Aya-chan!!!
Character 2: Ohayo. I am Kaito Takanashi. Nice to meet you all. (Waves.)
Fan girls: SO HOT!!!!!!!!!!!! BE MY PARTNER!!!!
Kaito: (Sweat drop) The story hasn't even started yet though...
Neko: Ahem. I'm still here... can I continue? (Waves arms back and forth in the background)
Everyone: Hehe... oops.. continue Neko XD.
Neko: Okay then, you guys go talk and meet each other... Kaito already knows the school so... one of you guys can show Aya around. Hopefully you guys like my new story! Read and review!!!
Dedicated to sarahpatrick, my awesome friend!
Aya Sakurano: She has long, wavy, sky blue hair. She has midnight sky eyes. She barely smiles (ONLY IN THE STORY! She is normally happy hehe... A little bit too happy at times Sweat drop) because of her past. She usually ties her hair in pigtails (like Mikan) or in a low ponytail.
Kaito Takanashi: He has messy, spiky, midnight blue hair. He has eyes that change colors according to his moods. Most of the time he's happy, but when he's serious, he's serious. Pretty much everyone loves this guy. He's hot and has a nice personality.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice... I wish...
Chapter 1: Her Memories
Aya's POV
Why... what happened?? (tries to sit up but fails) Itai!
Flashback
"Go back to your own world you freak!" shouted the kids. One girl picked up a rock and heaved it at me. As the rock inched closer to my body, I shut my eyes and awaited the pain. However, nothing happened... As soon as I open my eyes again, I saw all the kids staring at me.
"What was that?!?" one of the younger kids asked.
"I don't know, but it's not gonna happen again!!!" shouted this one boy with brown hair. He picked up a heavier rock than the other girl and threw it at me. I panicked a little and stuck my hands out to protect my face. As I did that, the rock exploded into little pieces right before it hit me.
"Whatever you guys... let's leave the witch girl alone." said some boy as he walked away without glancing back. The other kids left after him and returned to their homes. After they left, I returned to my "home." At least, it was supposed to be. My "home," the only thing left standing to protect me from the cruel outer world... I slipped into a daze... the only thing I remember was seeing a dark figure right before I collapsed onto my bed.
End of Flashback
"At least none of those rocks hit me... why does it hurt so much...?" I said as I clutched my stomach.
"It's because of your powers." a voice from nowhere announced.
"What? Who was that?? Hehe... I guess I'm going crazy (sweat drop.) Wonderful, as if life isn't as bad already..."
"Hello??? Can you even hear me???"
"Ok... I'm going mad..." (sighs)
"If you can hear me, say Ohayo!"
"What in the world? Ohayo???" (Question mark face... ANIME STYLE!)
"Aha! So you can hear me!!! Yatta!!!"
"Aren't you a bit too happy to be a ghost?" I looked around to see if a kid was trying to trick me.
"(Sweat drop) I'm not a ghost!"
"Oh really??? How come I can't see you?" I stated, trying to act superior.
"Oh right! I forgot to tell you! Just close your eyes." the voice chuckles.
(A/N It's kind of obvious who it is now huh?)
I slowly shut my eyes, a little afraid of the ghost speaking to me. What if it was Death, coming to end my miserable life??? When my eyes closed the entire way, I saw a girl that looks exactly like me... the only difference was her hair and eye color.
"UWAH!!!! I can see you!!! Can you see me???" the mysterious girl asked me while bouncing up and down like a crazy maniac.
Sweat drop "Yes?"
"Sugoi!!! I'm Mikan Sakura! Pleased to meet you!!!" she sticks her hand out toward me.
My hand slinks toward her, and she takes it and shakes it excitedly. "Ohayo Sakura-san. I am Aya Sakurano. Nice to meet you too."
She flashes a smile toward me. "You don't have to be so polite. Call me Mikan!" she smiles again.
This is one weird dream... and this girl is very... happy.
"I'm so glad I got to meet someone!"
"What do you mean by 'meet someone'?" I asked her carefully.
"Well, I copied my friend's alice yesterday. The alice I copied allows me to visit other worlds with my mind. It's really cool!!! Although sometimes you can't find anyone, I found you!!! Haha! I like this alice." smirks to herself.
Ok, now I'm sure this is a dream. What's an Alice? She visits different worlds??? I'm going crazy...
"No you aren't going crazy!!! This is actually happening!!!" Mikan blurted out all of a sudden.
What???How does she know what I'm thinking??? "Is my face that readable???"
"No... I copied the mind reading alice awhile ago (smiles.)"
"Ok then..." I'm just going to listen to her story... (sighs deeply) "what do you mean by 'alice' and 'different worlds'?"
"I forgot to tell you that too!!! Hehe (smiles sheepishly) Well, an alice is a person with a kind of power, we live on a different world than others. Our world is called Alice World, where the people with these powers can live, play, and learn happily."
"Hmm... so why me?" I asked Mikan who gave me a confused look back.
"What do you mean why you???"
"Why not some other person? I'm not exactly a special person."
"Hmm... I really don't know but you might be an alice... I'll ask my friend whenever I go back." she said while tapping her chin and looking up toward the sky for an answer.
"Right, I wish I was an alice..." Can I really trust this girl...?
"Of course you can!" She said looking slightly irritated. "Do you want to visit Alice World Aya-chan?" she asked me while reaching out to me again.
"You can bring people there?!?!" I asked surprisingly "Also, STOP READING MY MIND. It's irritating."
"Hehe... ok I'll stop. I think... well, I'm pretty sure. If you're just visiting, you'll have to leave your body behind... I can only take your soul and mind. So you won't have a shadow over here..." she said, barely looking confident.
I glanced at Mikan. Maybe... she can bring some light into my life. Maybe... I can end this. My light, my chance, a new opportunity for me. Should I stay here... or go? "Will anything happen to my body??"
"It will just look like you're asleep, but you MUST be sure you are sleeping in a safe place."
"Ok." I open my eyes and scanned my surroundings. I locked the doors to my "home." I made sure that no one could enter, then I went back to my bed and closed my eyes again. "Ok, I'm safe enough." I said, eager to see Mikan's world.
"Ok then, this might feel weird because it's my first time doing this. Give me your hands." I noticed her hands were still out, waiting for me to hang on. I slide my hands toward her and she grabs them.
"Make a door so we can go, to help Aya see and know... Alice World the place I'm at, hopefully it's as easy as that." she recited with her eyes closed.
(Sweat drop) "You call rhyme?? It was very... interesting." I added sarcasm in the end.
And with a flash of light, I saw my "home" disappear in front of me. I can hear Mikan mumbling words that I couldn't understand... like a different language or something. After a few seconds I began to get dizzy because it seemed like we were going in circles. Are we there yet... I tightened my grip with Mikan and felt a strange sensation.
I opened my eyes to see an arrange or colors. Bright colors with the dark colors, all mixed together to make a beautiful combination. As we were passing through, I kept thinking about the kids and it made me sad that I couldn't just fit in... the the colors just all turned dark blue. I noticed and I looked around at the gloomy colors. I wonder... I thought of the few happy times of my life when I was about four. My parents were still alive that year. I remembered their voices, how happy it made me inside. The rooms turned bright and colorful again. I started crying with happiness because it was very painful for me to bring up the memories of my parents again. With a whoosh, we were out of the color world. I shut my eyes waiting for Mikan to tell me when we arrived, afraid to see what other surprises would be as we traveled.
"Aya-chan? You can open your eyes now." Mikan said calmly.
I open my eyes and I see this huge fancy room. I looked at the pink bed I was sitting on, then at a huge plasma screen t.v that was pink, and many other things in the bright room.
(Sweat drop) She must like pink. "What happened???" I asked her sitting up quickly from her bed.
"Well, we had to pass through the color world. Sorry, I was curious about your feelings." she said quietly.
"The color world?"
"Yes. You are very sad aren't you... I saw the dark blue at first... usually my feelings could beat out another person's but you have strong feelings. Then it turned orange so I guess something cheered you up. But if you're happy, why are you crying?" she asked me with curiosity.
"I'm not crying." I tried to lie to her but it was impossible with my red puffy eyes.
"Sure... whatever you say. Well, now I can give you a hug!!!"
Mikan runs toward me and grabbed me and gave me a bear hug. I could hardly breathe. I whispered out to her with the last bit of my breath, "Can you loosen... up a... bit??"
"Huh?" She looked at me confused. "Oh!!! Sorry!!! I was just so excited!!!" she let me go.
"So am I really here? In Alice World?" I looked at my hands and my body. Everything was there... except for my shadow...
"Yup!!! Hurry!!! I have to go tell otou-san we have a new student!!!"
Otou-san??? She grabbed my arm and started sprinting. Thank goodness for all those times I had to run away quickly from the demented kids. I wouldn't have been able to keep up with Mikan if it wasn't for that. She started slowing down as she saw me panting for breathe.
"Do I have to join this school? Other people... tend to cast me out..." I said sadly.
"That's because they didn't know what you really are. My friend, the one with the world alice, goes to other worlds and asks the other person if they want to go to a place where everyone will accept them. So, they die in their world where they are usually hated and they come to the world where we live."
"Oh... so your friend is like a soul carrier..."
"Yeah... kind of... I guess that's an easier way to put it. Come on, we're almost there!!!( smiles)"
A place where I'm accepted... that would be nice...
