After Story

By gaukenanime101

The rain was falling heavily for a springs day in Nagoya, much different to the previous days. The brunette was already awake and ready at the brink of dawn to leave to Gakuen Alice. When the clock hit 6am the excited girl grabbed her bags and ran to her Jii-chans room to wake him.

"Jii-chan! Its time to go." Mikan whispered in the old mans ear kindly. He opened his eyes and jumped out of bed in excitement.

"Yippee, Mikan lets goooo!" the old mans croaky voice announced. He threw on some pants and they ran to the car to go to school.

They drove the short distance to Nagoya High and the car came to a holt in the car park. "Mikan-chan, I wanted to give you this before you left" he opened his wrinkly palm and a golden locket was placed inside. "It was your mothers, she asked me to give it to you one day."

Mikans eyes widened, my mother? He never mentioned her mother, not even once. "T-thank you, Jii-chan." She carefully grabbed the necklace and studied it. Her Jii-chan was inspecting her with a sad look.

"I am so proud of you Mikan, please do your best!"

"Gosh Jii, you are acting like we will never see each other again! I'll see you in 2 months. B-but, I will miss you." The hazel eyed girl looked into the blue eyes of the man, she ambushed him with a long and warm hug before she departed the vehicle. They smiled at one another and waved their goodbyes before he drove off.

The rain hadn't eased up all morning, Mikan ran to the car which they where leaving to Tokyo in and greeted the teacher in charge "Good Morning, Furai-sensei!"

"Good Morning Mikan! Are you ready to leave? If so, jump in the car and we will depart soon." The teacher instructed while the girl nodded in agreement.

The black, fancy vehicle was warm inside and was safe from the wet exterior. While waiting for the teacher, Mikan took Bear who was inside her carry bag, he began playing with her hair which wasn't in pig-tails today but was untouched and gorgeous.

Mikan found bear in her suit case 3 years ago, he was the wildest stuffed animal she had seen. He cleaned, cooked and became her best friend after a short amount of time. He only seemed to move in front of Mikan and Jii-chan though, making her look crazy when she told her friends he was alive. It was like that movie Toy Story!

Suddenly, the right door of the car opened, she threw bear back into her back but to her surprise it wasn't the teacher, instead it was a boy around her age. He had silver hair, remarkable ivory eyes and fair skin. A smile struck his face and he sat down next to her. "Hey, I am Zero Yuki. I will be in the essay competition as well. Its nice to meet you" he told her kindly. "Oh, um I am Mikan Sakura! Lovely to meet you too!" she said shyly but still admiring his features, he really was quite attractive.

Before they could say another word the teacher arrived in the driver seat and declared it was time to depart. "To Tokyo!" she squealed like a school child making Mikan and Zero giggle. The two students small talked for short amounts of time, laughing and playing games.

Mikan began gazing out the window watching the rain falling for the next half of the car trip, the planet seemed so different when nothing was happening, it was just her against the world. Her eyes felt heavy – the lack of sleep must have caught up on her. The hazel eyes began to close and before she knew it, the girl drifted into a deep sleep.

God she is gorgeous the boy admired the sleeping beauty. Her pale skin, long eye lashes and silky hair – she was like a dream girl. Zero was a first year as well as Mikan, they didn't have any classes together, but they where both well known around the school. 'Badump' - a big jolt in the road made the car jump out of nowhere, shocking the boy, he looked over to Mikan to see if she was okay, but to his surprise she was still fast asleep, only this time her head was resting on his shoulder.

The boys face turned cherry red, she is sleeping on me! What do I do! Strangely though, he felt comfortable with her on his shoulder, so he let her be and admired her even closer.

Zero had stopped focusing on everything and was lost in thought when the teacher announced "We are here!" snapping out of his gaze, he checked to see if Mikan had woken, as he expected, she hadn't. This time he looked at her though, he noticed a tear streaming down her face, why was she crying?

"Sakura, its time to go now. We are here" he whispered into her ear.

"Noo, I don't want to leave – please don't make me leave." The girl mumbled half asleep.

Her eyes shot open and she realized where she was – on Zero's shoulder! "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to I swear!" she jumped and turned a cute peachy colour.

"No, its fine. I put you there because your head was bumping up against the window and it looked painful (an obvious lie to make her feel better)."

"Oh, is that so. I, um, thank you!" The girl said with her beautiful smile making him turn a light shade of pink.

The two climbed out of the car, grabbed their luggage and admired the school. For some reason, this academy seemed somewhat, nostalgic to Mikan? "Ahh, my legs where aching! I can't wait to eat something." Sensei announced, she was Mikan's favourite teacher as she spoke what she thought and her dry humour made her laugh.

"You where snacking on a loaf bread in the car, sensei. How could you possibly be hungry still?" Zero asked curiously making the brunette laugh. They walked towards the school taking in the fresh air. The rain had seemed to stop and the sun was shining once again, making the mood much cheerier.

A man in his late twenties with blonde-princely hair walked towards the three with a bright smile but his eyes widened when he looked at Mikan, nevertheless he turned his gaze away from her and continued. "Hello! My name is Narumi and I am a teacher at this school. You must be Mikan and Zero? I can show you to your rooms now. Please enjoy your stay at Gakuen Alice!" His arm was stretched suggesting he wanted them to follow him.

"Wow these rooms are gorgeous! Thank you so much, Narumi-sensei" Mikan stated. The teacher nodded convincingly, then looked down. "Your classes start tomorrow so please get some rest tonight and food will be provided in an hour." The man smiled and walked away quickly. Why did he seem so sad?


"Doesn't she arrive today, Natsume?" the blonde boy questioned. There was tension in the school ever since the news of Mikan coming was announced. The crimson eyes closed and the boy walked away. "Hey, where are you going?"

"Out."

Natsume strode down the hallway with an emotionless façade, while Ruka watched him in concern, what was he planning?

Knock, knock, knock.

"Hello, welcome to Hotaru Imai's room. Please insert 5 rabbits to enter." A robotic voice told him. "God how stingy, Imai open up." Natsume shouted, obviously annoyed at her continued love for money, she would probably marry it if she could.

The past couple of years the two had become closer (due to Hotaru saving him), but they still found each other irritating and couldn't seem to agree on anything, except for one - their love for Mikan.

"Let him in" Hotaru instructed.

The big door of the 3-star apartment opened displaying a room full of inventions. Natsume stepped inside and stood in front of her with not an emotion in sight. "She's here" he bluntly told the raven headed girl. "I know" still looking at her project, not reacting to his entrance or statement.

"Then why are you still in your room?" the boy said looking aggravated.

"What do you want me to do Hyuuga? She doesn't remember us!"

He remained quiet while processing her words, "I'm sorry but I am working on something. We can discuss this tomorrow."

Natsume slammed the door and ran to the tree he always felt comfort at. Sitting on the branch he felt nostalgia, the memories of her and him sitting on the sakura tree came flooding in making his heart hurt, he wanted her back desperately.

"Mikan, what am I going to do" mumbling to himself and closing his crimson eyes.


The day had seemed to gone by quickly for Mikan and she was exhausted from the trip. Dinner time was uneventful as it was bought to her room but it was undeniable tasty. Everything seemed so familiar though, why did she keep on getting thoughts as if she knew this place.

The brunette prepared herself for bed in a flowing night gown and tied her hair into a messy bun. She was about turn off the lights when a knock came to her door, she rushed to it expecting it to be either Zero or Sensei but much to her surprise it wasn't. A boy with raven hair, crimson eyes and tanned skin was looking at her.

"Um hi! May I help you?" the girl said politely, wondering as to what someone could be wanting at this time of night.

"Yeah, the teacher wanted me to give you this uniform and time table for tomorrow." He said not changing his emotion once, studying the girl. She has became gorgeous.

"Oh okay thank you! If that's all I'll be off to bed now, good night!" Mikan said grabbing the items with a cheerful smile. Just before she closed the door he opened his mouth.

"You really don't remember, do you." Looking sadly at the floor the boy said quietly.

"Excuse me?" looking the utmost confused to what he meant.

"Never mind. Good night, Polka dots" smirking to himself he walked off.

"Polka do-" looking down she realised her night gown was see through enough to see her polka dot underwear. "IDIOT, PERVERT" she screamed down the hallway and ran back into her room slamming the door.

It really was her and she hasn't changed a bit, I'm glad. He smirked at himself inconspicuously while he walked back to his room.

"God what was his problem, what a pervert! What did he mean I don't remember? Have I met him before?" she repeated to herself over and over trying to figure the meaning of what the crimson eyed boy said "Eh I'm too tired to think of such things." Turning off the lights the girl jumped into bed and fell almost instantly into a blissful sleep.


"No I don't want to leave, don't leave me, please! I need to see him!" the girl was running away from tall figures chasing her down a dark hallway. Before she knew it, the hallway kept on getting longer and longer until she saw shadows of people in the distance standing next to a tree. "You are nearly there, Mikan" tears where falling down her face when her eyes shot open.

It was just a dream, thank god. The girl sat up rubbing her eyes and checked the time, 2:01am. Why do I keep getting these dreams? She decided that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again for a while so the brunette came to a decision of going on a walk.

Mikan had strolled for 20 minutes around the school, sneaking past teachers and thought about her Jii-chan and the locket he gave her. The girl's attention was then on the dream she just experienced, what was that? Mikan was to lost in her thoughts, unconscious of where she was going when she found a Sakura tree, one of the most beautiful ones she had ever seen. She felt almost drawn to it, like the moonlight was shining on that tree, calling her to it.

Suddenly, Mikan had become tired again. Maybe I might take a nap under this tree for a while. The Sakura tree felt safe for an unknown reason when she lent her tiny frame upon the bark. Closing her eyes and drifting of to a deep sleep again.

The crimson eyes of a boy opened when he heard a slight mumble of a sleeping girl. He stood up on the thick branch of the Sakura tree looking down in awe when he saw a girl asleep. He jumped of the branch onto the soil and observed the sleeping beauty, Mikan? Her long, brown hair was out and swaying in beat of the wind, she looked peaceful but also like she may had been crying. What a stupid girl, sleeping at this time of night outside. He walked up to her and nudged her shoulder "Hey, wake up." He said stoically. "Wake u-"she opened her beautiful hazel eyes to see crimson ones staring back at her. The boy was mesmerized by her beauty and the way she had grown since last time he saw her, her stunning big eyes gazed at him for seconds until – "Natsume?" she closed them once again and fell back to sleep.

Did she just say, Natsume? Does she remember? Shaking her one last time she fully awoke and looked at him shockingly. "What are you doing here, pervert?" she said jumping up out of her spot. "Do you remember, Mikan?"

"Mikan? How do you know my name? Oh yeah you delivered my uniform before that's how!" she said with her signature smile.

"Anyway, I am off to bed now. Good night, pervert!"

He watched the girl run back to her room gracefully in sorrow, I guess she doesn't remember after all.

Don't worry, I am not giving up on you.
