I did not own Gakuen Alice.
This is my second fanfiction, please read & review!
I have read several books written in another language about the entertainment industries.
I was inspired by some of the ideas, and I would like to try making an English fanfiction for Gakuen Alice.
Warning: characters slightly OOC!
Superstars
Introduction
–
If you want to be a star, go meet a Hyuuga.
This was a popular saying for the past few years. Since the establishment of the Hyuuga Entertainment Limited, it had been the cradle of a number of remarkable superstars. It was an icon of success; a miracle in the entertainment industry. The five Hyuuga siblings were being called the "golden managers".
The siblings's father was a famous singer, whereas their mother was a well-known actress. Being inherited with their genes, all of them had appealing appearances and temperament. Yet, none of them followed their parents' career paths. Rather, they were interested to work "behind the scene" to discover and nurture potential artistes. As a matter of fact, the young Hyuugas were not willing to be a puppet controlled by someone else; besides, they enjoyed being in charge of others more. They aimed to be the dream makers.
Their retired parents were travelling around the world, while the five siblings stayed in Japan to manage the company. Five of them worked to their best to establish their own wonderland by creating their perfect idols.
This story was about the five siblings and the superstars they managed. Here were their information when the story began:
1. Hyuuga Misaki

Personality: (seemingly?) bold, upbeat, independent
2. Hyuuga Natsume

– Four years ago –

The end of each year was a super busy time for the music industry. It was a time for award ceremonies and subsequent celebration parties. Hyuuga Natsume swiftly left the party room and walked to a quiet garden that was located behind the building. He impatiently loosened his tie. He had a strong desire to breathe in some fresh air before he had to do the socializing again.
Suddenly, a soft charming voice found its way to Natsume's ear. Natsume stopped immediately. Someone was singing somewhere. He closed his eyes, using all his concentration to figure out where the voice came from. As if being hypnotized, he walked towards the origin of the sound without second thought.
As he reached a pond, he saw a fairy-like figure sitting on a huge rock at the opposite side of the pond. That was no doubt that the melody came from her. Natsume hurriedly walked along the pond, trying to get closer to the fairy. He stopped at the position where he was now at a diagonal to the fairy. This was the perfect location to listen to her and have a good view of her.
The fairy was a girl wearing a white sleeveless dress. Her amber long hair that was wavy at its tips shone under the moonlight. She was a very young stunner. Her innocent amber eyes were shining like stars. She playfully swung her long smooth legs front and forth, while singing the song.
She looked attentively at the moon and did not realize someone had already entered her world. She blissfully displayed an angelic smile. She was conscientiously singing a widely known love song which was too mature for her age, My Heart Will Go On.
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
Her enchanting singing casted a stupefied spells on Natsume. He stared at the girl without a blink. Her voice was very gentle and lovable, and her vocal abilities were excellent. Most importantly, she was amazingly expressive in the song.
Natsume could not help suspecting how much this girl understood the song. How much could a young girl know about love? However, from the way she was so involved in her song, it was apparent that she did love singing a lot.
The initial mood of frustration and boredom disappeared. Natsume felt peaceful and captivated by the girl's song. Was it the girl's voice that calmed him down, or was it the girl's charisma that captured him? Natsume did not know any of these. What he knew was he wanted her.
She was definitely a diamond in the rough. She could absolutely become the shiniest superstar after his assiduous craving.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The ending of the song was followed by a long loud applause. The girl turned her head in thrill and saw a gorgeous man standing near the pond. Not only was she surprised, she got red in her face and got lost into the man's enigmatic red pupil. Natsume and the girl gazed at each other. One second felt like a decade long.
"Mikan... Mikan..."
A distant calling sound broke the magical spell between them. Natsume restored his mind, but before he could say anything, Sakura Mikan had already put her feets into the high heels, stood up, slightly patted her dress, beamed at Natsume and then ran to the source of the call. Watching the disappearance of the white-dress-fairy in front of his eyes, Natsume had a miserable feeling.
"Mikan! Where did you hide yourself? I was about to introduce some composer and lyrics writers to you," A bluish-hair girl gently helped to fix Mikan's slightly messy hair.
"I am sorry, Nobara-san," Mikan lightheartedly stuck her tongue out, and turned her head to the direction of the pond, but she could see no one. Was the handsome man she just saw an illusion only?
Sakura Mikan?! She was the sixteen-year-old female singer who just won the Award of the Most Promising Singer?
Natsume hid himself in the bush, regretting such a precious gemstone being taken by the earlier bird Ibaragi Nobara. No matter how he desperately wanted this singer, he would never grab things from his friends.
What a pity!! Natsume looked up to the sky. Mikan's voice and her eye-catching figure were still lingering in his mind.
Since then, it was Natsume's habit to pay attention to the news of Sakura Mikan. It had lasted for four years continuously. He probably did not notice he had such a habit.

"Koko, have you heard about the news? She is coming back," Hyuuga Misaki said in a dull tone, unlike her usual energetic nature, and she looked pale.
"Yes," Hyuuga Koko replied bleakly. The joker did not wear his usual smile as well.
"She declared clearly that she wants you to be responsible for her work during her stay," Misaki continued with her monotonous tone.
"Hn," that was an extremely rare single-syllabus reply made by Koko.
Something was wrong with these two siblings. They were the two members in the family who could easily bring in a lively and relaxed atmosphere.
"I am going out now, and I won't be back tonight, please let the others know," Misaki's boring voice was heard again.
"Hn," My God! It was the second single-syllabus reply made by Koko for the day.
After Misaki left, Koko went to another room. It was a room desolated for some time already. He walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and stared at a cute huge teddy bear that sat lonely inside.
"Your owner is coming back," Koko muttered. His face was expressionless, and there was no joy in his words, there was only heaviness. Koko silently left the room. His receding figure, same as the teddy bear, was lonely and gloomy.

Hurried walking steps were heard in the corridor, followed by a loud door opening sound, "Bang". A pair of naked bodies was lying on bed, and two pairs of eyes looked at the intruder with astonishment.
The pink-hair girl who just entered the room was dumbfounded as well. She could not believe what she saw, and she leaned against the door to make her body steady. She managed to wear a composed facade to hide the overwhelming emotions inside her.
The dark-hair man on bed had his mind returned; he looked at the intruder at the door with lament, remorse followed by hopelessness. The girl next to the man had tears over her face, wrapped herself with the blanket and apologized to the pink-hair girl. She sounded very guilty and she even kneeled down and begged for forgiveness.
The girl remained unsympathetic throughout. There was not even a trace of sadness or anger that a victim should have. She looked indifferently at the girl who was crying and begging.
She was once a best friend of hers, and now she had become so distant and unfamiliar.
The man had already dressed up and helped the kneeling girl to stand up. He gently hugged the girl and looked at the other girl who he loved but betrayed.
The stare lasted for some time. The man did not say anything, nor did the unresponsive girl. The emotionless expression from the man stabbed at her heart like a sharp knife.
The pink-hair girl used to be a daring person; she would use her eloquence or Karate whenever she faced injustice. But now, she opened her mouth wide but could not say anything. She could only watch the man helping to soothe the crying girl. She abruptly turned away to leave the scene of eyesore.
A sobbing girl's voice was heard from behind, "I am sorry, Misaki."
All of a sudden, Misaki woke up, sweating, her throat feeling dry and sour, and her chest feeling pressurized. She planned to take a short nap at home before dinner, and turned out she had that nightmare again.
That was enough.
It had been seven years! Were seven years still not enough for her to forget the tragic past and recover from the hurt resulting from betrayal? She desperately needed to do something to give vent to her pent-up feelings. After meeting Koko at the house and telling him the news, she left the house for her own good.
