sOng frOm the hEart, a gakuen alice fanfic

"Good mOrning world!" Mikan said as she woke up. It was a bright, sunny Saturday morning at Gakuen Alice…

" oh, I'm early today, it's only 6:00 a.m. I'd better take a bath and gO to the Sakura Tree." Mikan took a bath, eat her breakfast and went out of her room with her newly bought guitar.

She went to the Sakura Tree with her new guitar. She sat on one of the branches of the tree then a lot of things flash on her mind,

' I wonder how's grandpa now, I hope he's doing fine. Oh, Hotaru has been very busy these past few days working on a new invention, I kinda miss her. Ruka is helping Hotaru because they had been a couple for I guess.. 2 months? Yeah, it's 2 months. Well, I wonder where Natsume is. I've been thinking about him a lot lately, this is strange but I ask Hotaru about it. She said that I've got to find it myself. It's weird to feel this way but I can't get him off of my mind… I guess I'm… I'm in love? But wait! This is not right. What if it's love?!! Oh! This is giving me a headache! But I badly want him,.. I want to be on his side.. WAIT! I got an idea… what if, what if I confessed to him??? But, If he reject me, our friendship will be ruined! Oh my, I don't want it to happen! Please Kamisama, help me…' she thought sadly. After a few minutes, she played the guitar then sung a song wholeheartedly…

I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
But babe, is this all we ever could be?

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad

I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You're a friend of mine
Now, I know friends are all we ever could be

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
and I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad

But then again
Then again
Then again I'm glad

She end the song with tears flowing freely in her eyes. Then she saw someone coming so she hid herself. There were 2 figures coming nearer the tree. They stood there. Mikan's eyes saw the figures, her eyes grew bigger as she spotted it. It was Natsume and he's with a girl? Yes a girl! Natsume was walking first while a girl was tailing behind, smiling and she's holding a small box neatly wrapped with a blue ribbon in it. She handed it to Natsume and he accepted it. Mikan was hurt, deeply hurt because Natsume seems that he liked the girl. She went away quietly, not wanting to see what will happen next. She ran at her dorm, laid in her bed and fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

It was afternoon when she woke up, it's 5 o'clock p.m. She comb her hair, brush her teeth and went out of her dorm, she went to a tree near the lake, she sat there, watching the birds flying, chirping happily. 'how I wish I was a bird, I may be hurt physically but not emotionally. it's easy to heal a wound than to heal a broken heart' she thought as she was crying, remembering the things that happened that morning. After about 2 hours, she starts to walk back to her dorm.

She passed by the cafeteria, her hands over her breasts, she's thinking deeply when she saw her group of friends. It was Hotaru, Ruka, Natsume, Sumire, Nonoko, Anna, Koko and Moucho. They are sitting on one table and eating their dinner.

" Hey, Mikan, let's eat " Nonoko said cheerfully while their friends was looking at her, waiting for her answer. They notice her eyes, it seems like she's tired and her happy face was changed by a sad one. They all looked at her with worried faces.

"No thanks, Nonoko I'm not yet hungry". Mikan said as she fake a smile. Before she walked away, she looked at Natsume and he is looking at her too with worried face. She broke their eye contact. She felt again the pain, the pain in her heart but she hold back the tears. Her friends notice this and they all got worried. They saw her walking away.

"I'll talk to her." Natsume said as he got up.

"No Hyuuga, give her first a time to think." Hotaru said.

Mikan got in to her room, crying. She wanted to release her hatred. She got her guitar and went to the Sakura Tree. Then as she played the guitar, she sings heartily…

wanna tell you baby
That you're the one that Im thinking of
But your heart is still with her
And I think she's the one that you love
I only want you happy
Even if it's not with me
Maybe one day
You'll open up your eyes and you'll see

That I think I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think I'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you

From the first time
You laid your lips on mine
It feels like the smile on my face
Will last till the end of time
But Im not so sure
You're the one that I should pursue
My mind tells me no
But my heart only says that it's you

That I think I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think I'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you

Only time will tell
The mystery has yet to unfold
Who's gonna feel love's warmth
And the other left in the cold

That I think I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think I'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you

Yet still I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think I'm falling
Baby I'm falling for you
That I think I'm falling
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yeah I think Im falling
Baby I'm falling for you

After the song, she heard a voice…

" Hey, Polka why are you crying?" Natsume said coolly but deep inside he is very worried.

"Oh, you're here Natsume?! How long have you been here?" Mikan asked with a

nervous tone.

" You didn't answer my question Polka." Natsume said impatiently.

"Uhm, it's nothing… sorry but I have to go." Then she ran to her room hurriedly with her guitar.

The next day

It was Sunday. 'Another painful day' thought Mikan as she woke up. She took a long refreshing bath and went to the cafeteria. No one of her friends was there so she just eat alone in one of the tables. As she was about to bite a bread, Mr. Narumi's voice was heard on the speaker.

"Attention! Attention my dear students! I know it is Sunday today but we have an emergency meeting! Please meet your respective class advisers 10:00 a.m. today!"

'Oh, I wonder what's the meeting is all about… well got to eat my breakfast fast it's already 9:30 a.m.!

10:00 a.m. Meeting time!

All of the students that belong to Narumi's class were there…

"Class, I know it's Sunday today, we will have a visitor tomorrow, it's the President of the academy, he will be here tomorrow and we need to make a performance. The President had last visited this academy 3 years ago because he has a disease. So we want him to be happy when he came back, every student will perform on stage tomorrow, so start preparing! Anyways, there will be no classes on Tuesday and Wednesday! So goodluck!" Mr. Narumi said and went out of the room.

Everyone was talking about it but Mikan just got out of the room. Natsume saw this and followed her quietly.

Mikan went straight to her room, she grabbed the guitar sit on her bed. She played a tune, as she was playing the guitar, she heard a knock on her door. She got up and opened it.

"What's your problem?" Natsume asked.

"I said nothing." Mikan answered not looking at his eyes.

" Who are you fooling? Huh? I'm not an idiot." He said coldly

" Natsume, I can't say it to you right now, so please?" she said.

"Hn" Natsume just walk away.

Everyone was busy practicing for their performance that day. Mikan too was busy practicing her song performance as well as Natsume, sadly. They were thinking about each other everytime…

Performance day, Monday!

Everyone was wearing their costume. Hotaru wore a purple gown. Ruka wore a bunny outfit. Natsume wore a polo with a blue jeans and Mikan was wearing a blouse, skirt and her hair was down and it is curled. It's 9:00 a.m. and the show was about to begin.

" Good morning dear President! We're glad that you're back! We prepare a presentation just for you! We hope you would like it!"

Then, the show begins…

Many of the students dance, showed a magic trick, etc. Hotaru showed her new inventions. Ruka gathered all the animals and they sung together. Finally, it's Natsume's turn. A guitar started to play and Natsume sung the song looking at Mikan, Mikan was there at the front seat and he can see Natsume clearer, her heart beat beats vey fast as Natsume started to sing and the fangirls were all screaming and some were fainting…

Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I will never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone

'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You'll help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

'Coz I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I'll save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
Gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

" This next song is for the girl I loved" Natsume said sincerely while looking at her.

Mikan's heart seems to break into pieces because she thought it was the girl that she saw with Natsume… the next song played…

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice calls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I really know

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it though every storm
What is life, whats the use if your killed inside
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live, I live

After his performance, everyone clapped their hands for Natsume. They enjoyed it. Then Natsume seat on Mikan's seat when she got up because she's the next performer. " Let's clap our hands for the next performer, Miss Mikan Sakura" then the piano started to play…

Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

From the minute that you got my attention
I was taken and I have to mention
I was trying not to let it show
But I knew that I wasn't gonna let you go
From the way that you came right to me
Looking all hot with the style that threw me
No one would've ever known it
You would be the one who take this heart and hold it

You got that extraordinary way
Got to be next to ya every single day
You do something that I just can't explain
Wanna take the chance and tell you you're the one for me

Boy, I love you so
Just look in my eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
Yeah
Do you know it
Boy, I love you so
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
I just want you to know

You can say anything you want to
No stress 'cause I understand you
We got a vibe you can't define
Want everyone know that boy is mine
We won't fight and stop and stare at the way you hold me
You take me there at times
I feel I lose control
Forget everyone but the hand I'm holding

You got that extraordinary way
Got to be next to ya every single day
You do something that I just can't explain
Wanna take the chance and tell you you're the one for me

Boy, I love you so
Just look in my eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
Yeah
Can you feel it
Boy, I love you so
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
I just want you to know

Please know this
I'll always be right here
And you don't have to look
Nowhere else babe
Don't think for a minute
This love will change
Oh you should know that

Boy, I love you so
Just look in my eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
Yeah
Can you feel it
Boy, I love you so
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
I just want you to know

All of the audience was singing with Mikan, they loved her performance it's great!

Even Natsume didn't expect her to have such a lovely voice. The school President stood up…

"Uhm, can I request Miss Mikan Sakura and Mr. Natsume Hyuuga to perform another song… you two are great!"

They looked at each other and said in unison "Sure."

They were on stage… both of them was staring at each others eyes… the music started to play…

Mikan:

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

Natsume:

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart

Mikan & Natsume:

When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever

Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whenthe storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Mikan:

We were strangers on a crazy adventure

Natsume:

Never dreaming how our dreams would come true

Mikan & Natsume:

Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whenthe storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Mikan & Natsume:

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on...
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.

The audience applauded and smile brightly.

"They are great!" everyone said.

Natsume kissed Mikan passionately on the lips.

" I Love you, Mikan."

"I Love you too Natsume but---"

"But what?" Natsume asked curiously.

"The girl, I saw her with you last Saturday… she handed you a small box and you took it… I… I…" Mikan didn't finish, she breaks down and cry.

"You got it wrong, little girl, I don't have any connection with her, she's just an annoying member of my fans club…" Natsume said, smirking.

"And what is the small box all about?" Mikan asked.

"It's a key chain. She said that if she can't give it to me, Permy will kill her, so I just accept it."

"So, the gift was from Permy? And what did you do to the key chain?"

"I burned it."

"But why?"

"Do you want me to keep it? I only keep things that are important to me… Like you. So stop crying, you look ugly." Mikan hugged Natsume tight.

"So, would you be my girl, Mikan Sakura?"

"Oh, sure Mr. High-and-Mighty." Then Mikan kissed him on the lips.

Everyone was watching the two and the sound of the crowd grew more and more bigger when they kissed.

Sakura Tree

It's 5:00 p.m. The couple was at the Sakura Tree. Mikan was sitting on the lap of her boyfriend. They are watching the sunset.

"Hey, Polkadots, may I remind you that you cannot be touched by any guy except me, you cannot be called any nicknames by a guy except me and you cannot hang out with a guy except me. And you will tell me your schedule for everyday. Got that?" Natsume said.

"But Natsume,…" Mikan resisted.

"No buts," Natsume cut her. Then he kissed her on the lips.

8:00 p.m. At a tree near the lake

Mikan stand near the lake, Natsume was watching her at one of the branches of the tree. Mikan didn't know that Natsume was watching her. After a few minutes, Mikan started to sing…

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath you leave
that leave me deeply too

I will be strong
I will be faithful
Because I am counting on a new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning ya

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna play with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
that'll make you wanna cry
The tears of joy for al the pleasure and the certainty
that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection
of the highest power and lonely hours
the tears divide you

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna play with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh can't you see it baby
Don't have to close your eyes
cus it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath you leave
that leave me deeply too

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna play with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna play with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

I wanna stand with you on a mountain

Mikan ended the song happily. She felt a hugged from behind and she take a look who was it, she saw Natsume.

" I Love you, Natsume"

"Yeah. I know. Love you too."
