Finally, finally I posted this story. I've been wanting to post a KokoXMikan fic for such a long time but was always too lazy to do so. I know they aren't a very popular couple, but I really like Koko and so I decided to make him the main character, of course, there would still be some NxM moments. Koko is quite OOC here, so please excuse that. I'll try my best to keep him in character.
A handsome dirty blond got out his black Lexus, his transportation to his new—or rather, old school.
A playful smirk played on his lips and those enchanting brown eyes glistened under the sun.
His messy locks swayed in the wind giving him an even more charming look.
His new uniform clean and tidy, with the top buttons of it unbuttoned and his red tie hang loosely around his collar.
"It's him!" A girl squealed
"Is it really?" Her friend replied, trying to get a better view from the girls that are starting to gather around him.
"It's the new guy!" Another squealed, trying to get closer.
"He's unbelievably hot!" A girl at the front whispered to her group of friends.
A few boys sniggered at him, obviously unhappy that he's stealing all the girl's attention.
"Well, it seems that Natsume Hyuuga finally has a rival." A few girls whispered as others nodded in agreement.
The said boy paid no attention to the growing crowd and just continued to saunter towards the school building.
He made is way towards the principle's office and knocked politely before entering.
"Well, it seems you are quite popular though it's your first day." Kazumi Yukihara, the high school principle said, giving him a friendly smile.
"I'd say he's quite a sight." Himemiya, the middle school principle, chuckled slightly.
"I thought you weren't interested in males." Kazumi raised and eyebrow and turned towards her.
"Oh, I'm not. However, I really do think he's handsome for his gender." Himemiya giggled again, fanning herself lightly with her fan.
The boy sat patiently, waiting for their small bicker to end.
"So, you're a twelfth grader, senior of high school." Kazumi explained.
The boy just nodded.
"What did you say you're alice was again?" Himemiya asked curiously, smiling sweetly at him.
"Himemiya." Kazumi shot her a warning glare.
"What?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Honestly, you should already know what his alice is." Kazumi said, sighing.
"Oh yes. Right, right." She chuckled lightly again.
"Your star ranking will be a special star. There's only one other person with the same ranking." Kazumi added.
The boy stood up, ready to leave before he was stopped.
"Oh, and, welcome back." Kazumi said, smiling at him.
Giving a smile of his own, he walked out.
Narumi skipped into the classroom wearing his standard white shirt and jeans. No weird clothes today.
"Mornin' everyone!" He sang out loudly as the students completely ignored him, other than the few 'good' students.
"Good morning, Narumi-sensei!" Mikan answered cheerfully, earning a wink from her favorite teacher.
"Alright, alright. Settle down, everyone." He clapped twice to get everyone's attention.
"We have a new student today, or rather, a returning student." Everyone started to murmur and whisper to each other, wondering who it was.
It was rare to have a returning student in Gakuen Alice.
"Come on in." Narumi called cheerfully and a boy walked in, his footsteps loud and clear like he was taking as much time he needed. All eyes were on him and his gestures were smooth and relaxed.
He stood in the front of the class, eyes twinkling with playfulness. Everyone gasped.
"Koko!?" Sumire screamed as she stood up from her desk quickly and pointed an accusing finger at the said boy.
"Indeed! I'm sure most of you know that Koko-kun has transferred to our branch in America 5 years ago." Narumi explained. Most people nodded except some fairly knew people that have never seen him before.
"Alright. Go ahead and introduce yourself, Koko-kun." Narumi gave Koko a warm smile before standing off to the sides.
"My name is Kokoroyomi. Been here since I was..." He paused to think.
"...8 years old. Permy over there was my partner." Koko gave her a seductive wink where Sumire huffed, clearly annoyed and muttered under her breath about how disagreeable he was and not to call her 'Permy.'
"And, my alice is the mind reading alice." He finished and the whole class erupted into claps and whistles. He was quite hot now, 5 years later, and had all the new girls in the class to fall in love with him. His old friends gave him loud cat calls and whistles, teasing him and welcoming him back.
"Hm...Your old seat is taken already so how about you sit next to Mikan-chan?" Koko nodded before flashing the class a mischievous smirk and a peace sign.
His grinned cheerfully at Mikan once he reached his seat.
"I can't believe you're actually back!" Mikan squealed before giving him a huge bear hug. Koko laughed and hugged her back.
Koko noticed two males sitting next to her, a blond and a raven lad.
Ah, not liking me already? Koko grinned mischievously as the male sitting right next to Mikan was glaring daggers into Koko. Pretty obvious he was jealous, even without his mind reading alice.
"Hey! Nice to meet ya'll. What's your name?" Koko greeted cheerfully. The male rolled his crimson eyes and turned away, ignoring him.
"Natsume! That's not nice." Mikan huffed angrily at him, giving him a light slap on the head.
"Fuck off, Polka." Natsume groaned in annoyance and swatted her away.
"Natsume, huh?" Koko said to himself before he turned to the blond.
"How about you?" The blond seemed surprised for a second before he smiled back.
"My name is Ruka Nogi. It's nice to meet you." Ruka greeted politely as he petted his rabbit softly.
Animal pheromone alice. Koko grinned again.
"Nice meeting ya." Natsume continued to glare at him, his thoughts full of dark threats and jealousy.
"What's your relationship with this idiot?" He asked coldly, his voice dark.
"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" Mikan cried loudly before attempting to hit him. Natsume easily dodged her attack and grabbed both her hands in his.
"We're childhood friends." Koko explained before swinging his arms around her shoulder, reaching his goal once he saw Natsume fume.
Damn, this was fun.
"Yep. Koko is way~ better than a perverted fox like you." Mikan stuck her tongue out at the male before hugging Koko tightly.
"Childhood friends, huh." Natsume muttered under his breath, so quiet that he was the only one who could hear.
Koko read it from his mind, and looked down at the innocent girl who was still clutching on him tightly.
Childhood friends...Yes, they were only childhood friends. She was his best friend and he was going to keep it that way.
Perhaps it was time to tell her some things about him that she had never known.
In this 5 years, even he knew, he had changed. Changed dramatically, and he would never be able to be that cheerful, happy-go-lucky Kokoroyomi who had Mikan Sakura as his forever best friend.
He shook his head and smiled slightly to himself.
That was never going to happen, after all, he couldn't—wouldn't—tell her any of his secrets.
Was his last sentence a huge hint? Haha I'll try not to make his secrets too obvious along the way but I don't make any promises, since I'm a horrible writer. :P Anyways, I'll be happy to know what you think about this couple. I don't know when I'll be able to update but I look forward to writing this story!
R&R Please!
