AN: Has anybody ever done a story like this? I love The Hunger games, and The Divergent series, but I haven't seen a story like this, has anyone ever thought of doing a story like this! I have been looking and haven't found anyone. If anyone knows a good Gakuen alice story with a hunger games twist in it, please Pm me, I would really love to read one of those. I Don't know, I was really intrigued in doing this. I love the divergent and Hunger games series. So I decided to combine these two stories with one of my favorite anime/manga Gakuen Alice!
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice, or The Hunger Games, or Divergent!
Summary: Every year, four members are chosen from each Faction as tributes to participate in the annual Alice Games. Two girls. Two boys. Who will come out victorious? A Gakuen Alice story with a twist of Divergent, and the Hunger games.
Chapter 1
The Birthday!
I stared at my reflection in the mirror. In my reflection I see, a heart-shaped face, big round hazel eyes, and a button nose. They say my features suit me, I think the contrary. Our faction allows us to use a mirror on the second day of every third month. And this day was special, the day every kid my age dreads.
Their 16th birthday.
The day of the Alice Aptitude Test. This will show me which of the five factions I will belong too. The day after, at the Choosing ceremony, I will decide on a faction. Whether to stay, or leave my family.
Every six months, those who have turned sixteen are required to take the test. The Alice Aptitude test will be held tomorrow at the Test center.
"Happy Birthday Mikan" a voice behind me said.
"Thanks uncle" I give him a small smile.
He stares at me with a look I can't describe. He's probably troubled. That's all I could say.
"So tomorrow is the day, huh?" he asks.
"Yeah" I reply.
"Nervous?"
"No" I said. "The test won't change anything" I reassure him.
He nods, but seems unsure."Let's go eat." he said and headed downstairs.
I followed after him shortly. It's just me and my Uncle Kazumi, my parents died when I was young. How? I don't know. Every time I ask uncle Kazumi, he always changes the subject. After some time, I didn't bother to ask since l figured that he didn't want to talk about it. My older brother isn't alive either. This, I did know why. He died when he became a tribute to the games.
The Alice games.
It's the best sort of entertainment WE can provide him, according to our president Kuonji. The games are held every year, and every faction has to participate. Four tributes are always selected from each faction. Two girls. Two boys. They participate in a series of games, where they have to kill the opposing faction tributes, the last tribute(s) alive are the victors. This, of course, is live, from the announcement, the reaping, the ceremony, and the arena where everything starts. My brother Akira, was murdered by a Faction 5 tribute. Every faction has to watch the games, it's practically a crime if you don't. So I watched my brother get slaughtered. The girl that killed him, literally sliced his head. She grabbed the end of his hair holding his head up high like some kind of trophy, smirking triumphantly, not even unhinged by the amount of blood that she was covered in. I remember screaming my brothers name over and over again. I was only 10, when he died. He was 17. I remember the last time I saw my brother, face-to-face, he was grinning wildly saying that he would win, for our faction, for his friends, for his family. For me. And at that moment, I knew that I was never going to see him again. And I was right.
My parents, my brother, all dead. My Uncle is the only family I have left. And i'll be damned if I were to be separated from him as well.
"Mikan, you better get going, or you're going to be late."
"Ah, you're right. See you." I said as I give him a slight peck on the cheek, and dashed out of the house.
The Academy isn't far from my house, just a 10 minute walk. On my way to school, I usually wait up for Anna and Nonoko, and we all head to school together. I did the same today.
"Mikan!" a voice yelled. "Happy Birthday!"
I grin. "Thanks Anna, Nonoko."
We walk side by side. Anna and Nonoko on either sides of me.
"So, you guys ready for tomorrow?" Nonoko asks, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Anna, visibly starts shaking, Nonoko has a grim look, and I, surprisingly, am not affected at all.
I sigh. "Guys, the test won't change anything." I tell them with a smile on my face.
"It might thought." Anna mumbles
I raise an eyebrow at them, prompting them to go on.
"Tsubasa." Nonoko says keeping eye contact with me the whole time. My steps falter a bit as I hear that name.
Tsubasa Andou. Former Special Ability type. When he came back from taking the Alice Aptitude test, he wasn't his normal cheerful self, sure he tried too, but Misaki and I knew better. We didn't ask though, since it's against the rules. On the day of the choosing ceremony, most of Faction 4 went. But I couldn't. I was stuck in school, while Misaki and Tsubasa chose their factions.
Misaki, decided to stay on 4. Tsubasa, on the other hand, chose Faction 5. The Dangerous Ability type. 2 years have gone by since Tsubasa left faction 4, and left behind a devastated Misaki. She was never the same. I wasn't the same either.
"Anyways, where's Koko? He's my birthday Twin!" I said, trying to lift the tension, and it worked.
Anna giggles, while Nonoko gives a smile.
"He's probably running late...again" Anna said.
I saw her smiling at nothing, just staring ahead and grinning like crazy. A light bulb lit in my head.
"Hey, when are you and Koko going to hook up, Anna?" I tease her.
Anna visibly shocked, blushes, and looks down at her feet. "W-what a-are you talking ab-about?" Anna just looks so cute when she blushes, I can see why Koko likes her.
Nonoko and I burst into fits of giggles. Just then we hear the bell ringing for school.
"Crap, we're gonna be late...come on" I said running ahead, Anna and Nonoko following behind. We barely made it on time, but we made it.
I head towards my desk, and saw Koko, I grin at him, he grins back, but it's not his usual goofy one.
Of course, today you can practically feel all the uneasiness every 16 year old in this school was emitting. I rolled my eyes at them, they're all over exaggerating.
Here at Faction 4. Our Alices are what they call special, because they don't fit onto any other faction.
There are 5 different factions in total.
Faction 1: the Latent ability type. Faction 2: The Technical Ability type. Faction 3: The Somatic Ability Type. Faction 4: Our Faction: The Special Ability Type. And lastly, the most dangerous of all. Faction 5: The Dangerous Ability Type.
School went by just the same, the teachers didn't seem to care that most of us are going to take the Alice Aptitude test tomorrow, and gave us loads of homework like usual.
"Hey Mikan! Let's go hang out, we need to celebrate, have some fun ya know, I mean it is OUR birthday!" Koko enthusiastically said. I grin at him. "Let's go get Anna and Nonoko." I say, he nods. We made our way to the lockers looking for a pair of a pink and blue blob.
"Mikan!" A voice calls from behind me, I turn too see Misaki, with a grin. A genuine grin, one that she usually used to wear, whenever she and Tsubasa caused problems. I almost felt like tearing up there and then, but I kept my composure.
"Hey I see them, I'll wait over there." Koko said, giving us some space, I nod as I watch his retreating back heading towards Anna. I shake my head 'of course.'
"Hey Misaki." I smile at her.
"Here! Happy birthday Mikan!" She congratulates me, as she hands me a small rectangular box.
"Misaki, you didn't have to!" I tell her, but it's more than clear that I'm soo happy to receive it.
"I wanted too, and besides this is a present from me and...Tsubasa" She said slowly as her eyes started getting misty. I look up at her shocked.
"T-Tsubasa?" I croak out, my eyes getting watery by the second. she nods her head since she obviously couldn't speak.
"We got you this, 2 years ago, just in case if I and Tsubasa...left. This would've been a reminder from us, you know. But it turned out only Tsubasa left. I kind of had a feeling that this was going to happen, you know?" Misaki voice started sounding strained, but she continued. "So I kept it, and I decided to give this to you on your 16th birthday, I bet Tsubasa would've agreed with me."
I felt the corner of my eyes getting watery, I knew I was about to cry.
I opened the box to reveal a beautiful round silver 4-page photo locket. I opened it to see the first picture showing a 14 year old Mikan beaming while being carried piggy back style on a 16 year old grinning Tsubasa, while a 16 year old Misaki made the peace sign with a grin on her face as well.
"That was our last time together. The 3 of us…." Misaki said with a sad smile.
I turned to the other picture, to see my uncle, my brother and myself. A 17 year old Tono was crouching down doing the peace sign next to a 10 year old Mikan, while our uncle stood behind us giving both of us little devil horns.
I smiled at the picture. That was also the last day the 3 of us were together as a family, since the next day, he was gone, on his way to the games.
The last 2 were empty and I frowned. Misaki saw this and chuckled.
"Don't worry Mikan, we have plenty of time to get another picture." Misaki said wiping away the tear stains from her face.
I nodded and gave Misaki a hug. "Thanks Misaki. Thanks Tsubasa. Thank you" I said, my eyes getting watery once again.
"Come on, don't cry, it's your birthday after all, Tsubasa wouldn't have been happy if he saw you crying on your special day."
I nodded, and wiped the tears with the back of my hand.
"Here, I'll put it on" Misaki said as she hooked the pendant around my neck.
After that, the day was eventful. We went to get pizza. Koko ate 3 whole pizzas by himself, honestly that boy can eat and eat. Anna and Nonoko were really stiff, and nervous today. Probably thinking about the test. Misaki was acting like her normal self, just like how she used to, when Tsubasa was still here. She said jokes, and teased Anna and Koko. And I was just glad that I got to spend my birthday with my friends.
We stayed in the pizza place for a pretty long time, blame that on Koko! And when we got out, the sun was already setting.
Misaki asked a passerby to take a picture of all of us. We were in the middle of the plaza. Me and Koko were in the middle, Anna was next to Koko, and Nonoko was next to me, Misaki was behind me and Koko, giving us both devil horns. Nonoko grabbed my right arm and beamed at the camera, Anna came out blushing in the picture, and Koko was grinning like a madman.
"Uncle, how was the test for you?" I asked uncle as we're on our way to the Test center.
Today is the day. The day we take the Alice Aptitude Test. The day that we make a decision. To leave the faction or stay.
"Depends." He replied.
"on what?"
"On the person, mine took about 20 minutes." he shrugged.
Good, so 20 minutes, that's not that bad. I'll finish the test and head back to a normal life with my friends again. At least that's what I thought, but I knew deep inside that something was going to change.
I knew for a fact that everything wasn't going to be the same after the test. And there was nothing I could do about it.
