Mikan and Kyoko walked away from Natsume as he did to them. Kyoko's hair flew gently as the wind pushed into a stray flock. Mikan stared at it. Throughout the entire Alice Academy, Mikan believed that Kyoko had the longest hair she had ever seen. Not to mention she resembled Natsume greatly but looked more gentle and less intense under people's watch. Watching Kyoko daydreaming intrigue her. She was watching the Sakura trees drift into the open blue sky like a parade.
"Kyoko-chan..."there was a short pause that had woken Kyoko's attention."Do you know what your Alice is?" She tilted her head to the side and showed a small smile.
"Iie. Will you help me? It would help me if I knew so I could improve my chances of staying here for a long time. I don't want to leave."she said softly.
"I'll help. But Kyoko-chan won't your family miss you? They would want you to come home,right?" Mikan said. Kyoko shrugged and brushed off the question. She wanted to avoid them as much as possible.
"Everything has reasons. But we share one sky with clouds to watch over us. And when it's night, the stars guide us to where we truly belong." Kyoko smiled at Mikan's stunned reaction. "Are you really that heavy, Mikan?"
Mikan's sweat dropped at that comment as she saw the last new kid that had come to the school a couple months ago, Makashi Kanaye. He had shaggy brown hair that sparkled in the sunlight with lovely light sapphire eyes. He was sitting under a sakura tree watch the petals dance to the wind. She grabbed Kyoko's hand and dragged her over to meet him.
"Where are you taking me?" she said anxiously stumbling to stand straight."To meet someone of course."
"What! I just got here. Couldn't we wait until tomorrow?"she whined and pouted. Kyoko started become more open to Mikan, and Mikan felt that they had gained a sort of friendship then she would speak to more to people and become friends.
"Nuh-uh! If anyone can talk to Natsume on the first day of school they can meet anybody easily! Trust me...you don't wanna go there..." Mikan exclaimed pulling at her harder and more quickly then before."Kanaye-kun!" she screamed. Mikan only made worse for the poor girl. She didn't understand why she didn't act lady-like at all and frankly it scared her.
Kyoko POV
Mikan is really nice but I wonder if she could act more lady-like. It's scaring the shit out of me! Now I'm not one to curse, but Mikan... she's um...really something. Dragging me across the campus ground, she ran with me to she a friend of her's to be a friend with him too.
"Don't worry Kyoko-chan.He's in our class and is really nice.His name is Makashi Kanaye"Mikan told me. I saw the boy stare at us with the sweetest smile he could give.I couldn't tell if it was for Mikan or me,but he still smiled. It actually made me feel as if he really did care. Unlike most people who would ignore or be very displeasing. As soon as we made it over...out of breath, he stood up. His sudden movement kind of startled me so I jumped back tripping over a huge stone in the process. Mow where the hell did that come from?
Tilting slightly, preparing for impact I shut my eyes tightly hope somehow, miraculously, it wouldn't hurt. Then I never felt anything but warmth and clutched onto it tightly. Opening my eyes slowly I saw that the boy had caught me. It tried to wriggle out of his grasp because he not only scared me once, but twice. The way he used to do. He helped me stand as I jumped behind Mikan trembling in fear.
"Are you okay?" he asked me. I truly wasn't sure if I was able to answer or not so Mikan just answered for me."No she's okay, Kanaye-kun.She trying to uh..."Mikan paused. So far that's the last I heard. I ran away. I don't exactly know why but I felt as if I need to escape the tension being caused. I kept running until I came across a little animal shelter. I stood there trying to catch my breath after the extremely long run.
I stepped closer over to the door and looked through the open door to see a blonde haired boy sitting on a stool feeding the little rabbit on lap a carrot stick. Apparently the rabbit noticed me and jumped off his lap and over to the door. I backed up away from the door waving my arms and signaling no to the creature, but he kept bouncing over to me and flew into my open arms pushing open the door.
"Umeko!" I heard the boy yell out (A/N:What really is that rabbit's name?). I held the rabbit in my arms watching the boy step in a bucket. In the process of trying to get it off he fell into a water stall where some piglets were drinking water. I could tell this was gonna get ugly, so I covered Umeko's eyes and she turned away in horror. The water flew all over the place and the piglets started to run into things and opening unlocked gates. I stepped to the side with my back against the wall watching chickens, goats, horses, cows, sheep, dogs. cat, and a whole bunch of other animals trample out the door. Feathers, fur and dirt floated in the air and all over the place. After they all 'left the building' I turned back to see the boy grabbed onto a rope to pull himself out, but instead a pile of hay and cotton fell on him.
Umeko jumped out of my arms and ran over to him and I followed her inside. I looked around at the massacre that was made. The shelter was almost practically destroyed. I bit unto my bottom lip and went over to the boy and helped him up dusting the straw off his hair. I watched him spit out the soaked cotton in his mouth. He wiped the water out of his face and opened his eyes. A blue color appeared before me and looked at me strangely.
"Thanks," he replied squeezing out his honey colored hair. He extended his hand out to me. "I'm Ruka. Who may you be?"
"I-I'm Kyoko S-Shinku. It's n-nice to meet you, Ruka-san." I said. There goes my shyness kicking in. 1.Note to Self: Work on Shyness Skills and Find Courage. I shook his hand instead of bowing...even though I still bowed afterwards.
"Gomen nosai!" I said putting my hands together as if I was praying. "The animals destroyed the shelter and their running freely. This all my fault. I'll help you get them back, I promise you!"
"It's alright it's not your fault, Kyoko-san. I'll get them back, don't worry yourself. I have the Alice of Animal Pheromone, I'll just gather them back up..."
"But what about the shelter! It's into pieces! Just look around you." I said watching a ceiling board collapse and dust fly up in the air behind Ruka. He just stared at me blinking his bright blue eyes rapidly. There weren't any walls left except for the corners and the door stood up by itself miraculously.
"It's alright. Its okay. You just don't worry your pretty little head! I'll fix all by myself. You don't have to worry." he kept rambling. I was ready to object to his decision until he opened the unhinged door. As soon as he grabbed the doorknob he through the entire door behind him and pushed me out at least twenty feet from the area and ran back.
I turned back to see I was all alone and near a sakura tree. I turned around to see petals fly all over the area in spirals, it was so pretty. I looked around to see Mikan chasing for me. I could have sworn I've never seen someone as clumsy as her. She almost fell flat on her face, but instead stumbled to catch her breath.
"Kyoko-chan, you shouldn't have run!" Mikan screeched. I saw Makashi-san behind her helping her up. They were at least seventeen feet away. A dark shadow pressed itself against the sakura tree to my right. I could see a cat-like mask was on the person. By the time I took the chance to turn and look, the figure disappeared out of sight. Holding my hair back as a gust of wind blew.
I shut my eyes feeling dust go inside. Rubbing it slightly I saw Mikan panting.
"Are you OK?" she said. She was about to put her hand on my shoulder, but she missed and fell on face because something hit her hard on the back of her head.
"Baka..." I heard a voice say from behind. I turned to see a girl with a stoic look on her face. She had black hair and violet eyes and was carrying a sort of gun. She looked so harmful I backed away from Mikan and let the girl do whatever she wanted. Apparently she knew her. Hey, if they're friends it makes it even better. Mikan stood and turned to look at the girl.
"HOTARU!!!" Mikan screamed running to the girl to give her a hug. She took the gun and aimed it a Mikan, but missed and aimed straight for me...
Cliffhanger. I found this short and crappy, but and didn't know what else to do. I'll come up with something...eventually.R&R.
