Music is my soul
Part 1. New Start
Chapter 1. Alice Academy
I woke up in a white room. Maybe it's a hospital? I tried to open my eyes but I just can't and then I tried again and I was able to. I'm really in a hospital but who brought me here? I sat down and I saw no one just then a blonde guy in a white shirt with black pants came… I think he's a boy.
"How are you feeling Ojou-san?" I just look at him with confused look. "Don't worry I won't eat you. I'm Narumi. What's your name?" I looked at him…
"I'm… Kotone… Izumi… Where am I?"
"So you're Kotone-chan! You're in a hospital. So why are you standing in front of the gate with blood-soaked clothes?" my face was blank. I got traumatized by what happened. "Kotone-chan?"
"I… I killed them all… I'm a MONSTER!" Narumi got shocked and I cried and cried. I don't know what to do… I just cried…
"Don't worry… You'll be fine here… You don't need to worry about it okay?" I looked at him and I nodded. "So do you have any parents, brothers or sisters?"
"My parents are both abroad due to work and my brother is studying and I have no contact with him…" He then tried to think…
"Where does your brother study?" Huh? He had hard time thinking with just that!"
"Ga… Gakuen Alice… Why?"
"That's great! Actually Kotone-chan you're in Gakuen Alice…" EH? A hospital now in an Academy? Where exactly am I!? "Say, do you want to meet your brother?" Eh! Really!
"Mm! I want to see Onii-san!"
"Okay! So what's your brother's name?"
"His name? It's… Yoshi… Izumi…"
"Okay…! I'll be leaving you for a while so just stay here okay?" I nodded and before he left…
"Uhm! Where's… Where is… my violin?" He looked at me and pointed out my bed and he left. When I looked at my bed I was still holding it and the blood was still there… I didn't throw it… I love my violin so much… I hugged it started to cry… "Why! Why! Why me!" I was reminded by what happened to Hiro…
"Monster"
I cried and cried but I still can't turn back time… I then played a song and stopped when I heard some people's footsteps… When I looked… It was my Onii-san! "Kotone! Kotone!" He run towards me and hugged me… It has been 8 years since I last saw him… 8 long years! "Kotone! What are you doing here! You should be at home!"
"Onii-san… I… I…" I was about to cry… When…
"You don't have to tell me… I know… Narumi-sensei told me… Sorry… If I didn't left you… you won't be like this…" He touched my face… and I looked him… Those Emerald eyes are still the same… I calmed down a bit…
"Onii-san… It's not your fault… It's mine… Even though I was given warning already… I still did it…"
"Warning? You mean…" Narumi-sensei was shocked…
"Yeah… It happened in the past already but the academy didn't find out because our family hid the truth about that murder…" Yes… It happened already in the past… I killed my best friend… ME!
"Well past is past… Since she is here and I already reported it to the higher ups… She'll be studying here as middle school student… Isn't that great?" ME? Study here?
"Is this a Musical Academy?" I asked quietly and my brother shook his head…
"NO… This is a school for people with gifts… so-called ALICE…"
"Alice? What is that? Is it a tone or something?" Narumi-sensei sighed…
"Your world revolves around music huh? Anyway you'll know it sooner or later… Look!" Narumi-sensei brought out a uniform of black and white with a blue checkered skirt… "This will be your uniform… Isn't it cute?" I smiled… It's simple but a like it better than my white uniform with a lot of frills…
"It's cute…" The two boys went out and I changed… I managed to change my clothes… after all I still have a lot of energy…
"YAAh… Kotone-chan is cute… Banzai! Eh?" He cheered alone as we stared at him annoyed… "Hehe… Now why don't we go to your new classroom already?"
"She hasn't recovered yet!" My brother screamed at Narumi-sensei…
"Onii-san… I'm okay! I want to go there already… Even though it was a bit rushed maybe I'll managed my transfer somehow… I don't want to trouble you…" I smiled and he gave up… He can't resist my smile… He loves me so much… We then rode a bus… this school sure is huge to ride a bus… I guess… we pass a lot of well… Trees… and then… I saw a sakura tree… I wanted to stop but I don't wasn't to bother anyone… After a few moments we stop by a building and went to my new classroom… Narumi entered 1st …
"Now, now… be quiet… Kotone-chan…" and then I entered the room… with my brother…
"Narumi-sensei… why is there a high school student?" One student asked… I would too… A high school student accompanying her 14 year old sister… Gosh…
"Why do you care?!" Sighs… As always… my mean bother… the student sat down and got scared…
"Now… Why don't you introduce yourself, Kotone-chan…?" I trembled and hold my violin case tightly… Onii-san gave it to me before we left the hospital… "Don't worry Kotone-chan… they won't eat you…"
"Ko…Konichiwa… I'm Kotone Izumi… Nice to meet you…" I bowed and raised my head… Narumi-sensei smiled and so does my brother… I'm like a kindergarten…
"Hmmm... Kotone-chan… You can occupy the seat at the back… Oh and it'll be free time for today…" He was about to leave with Onii-san…"
"Wait… Will there be musical practice?" Everyone stared at me… Did I said something wrong? My brother then pet me…
"Don't worry… I'll let you play later…okay?" I nodded and they left… I went to the seat assigned to me…
"I'll be seating with you from now on…" I greeted him but…
"You just don't know your place do you?" A girl with some curls on the edge of her hair spoke… "Natsume-sama doesn't talk to ugly people like you…" UGLY! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO"S UGLY OR NOT!
"Oh… sorry… I'll be seating then…" Before I could seat…
"Wait… You should at least tell us your Alice and your star ranking…" ALICE? STAR RANKING? "and also… what's with that case your holding…"
"Uhm… I… I really… really don't know a thing or two about what you saying… They just transferred me here from a musical academy…" I was standing there scared…
"Eh? You don't even know a thing or two…" another girl came…
"EH! You came from a musical academy?! That's great! So what instrument do you play?" A girl with brownish orange hair and brown eyes was suddenly in front of me… a girl with black short hair purple eyes with some sort of gun hit her…
"BAKA!"
"That hurts Hotaru!" The girl exclaimed…
"You're scaring her Mikan…"
"No… Not at all… I… I play the Violin…"
"Eh! That's great!" Another cheer… sighs... what would happen now?
"Hey! We're still intriguing her!" Sumire… I guess… exclaimed..
"EH? Neh… Izumi-chan why don't you play for us… Please?" The Mikan girl pleaded… I heard Hiro's voice…
"Monster"
All of those bad things flashed on my mind… I kept hearing the word 'Monster' in my head… I fell to my knees… "NO!"
"Izumi-chan?" I was holding my head… My Body was trembling… the two guys that I'm supposed to be seated with looked at me…
"I… I can't play!" I run away from the room… crying… I run and run…
"Monster"
"Monster"
"Monster!"
"NO! STOP! I'm not a monster… NO…" I stopped by a tree and I fell to my knees… I was crying and crying…
"What are you doing here!" A voice came from my back… I wipe my tears and turned to him…It's the guy a while ago… It's that Natsume guy…!
