Chapter 2
It was getting dark. Mikan was lying on a queen-sized bed inside her room. She was thinking about the sudden events that happened to her.
Mikan's POV
Since I became a special star, I was transferred to one of the biggest rooms in the whole academy. I know that I've worked very hard to have what I have now and deserve all of this, but still I also know that I became a special star partly because of my alices.
From the start, my nullifying alice was enough to get the academy to keep a close eye on me. And to make matters worse, on my 2nd year at the academy, my other alice revealed itself.
--FLASHBACK (4 years ago)—
Normal POV
A certain carefree brunette was wandering alone along the northern forest when she heard something which sounded like a squeal of pain. So she looked for the source of the whimpering. She was able to find it and saw a puppy. The puppy was surrounded by a small puddle of its own blood.
"Oh no! An injured puppy! What should I do?" the little girl screeched, panicking.
The puppy looked like it could die any second now if it doesn't get medical attention.
Being Mikan, she didn't know what to do, and tears start to form on the corner of her eyes. She held the puppy and placed it on her lap. The puppy's blood spread through her skirt. (A/N: she's wearing her school uniform)
Then she said, "I wish I had the alice of healing and heal this poor puppy."
Then there was a sudden light. After that blinding light…
BARK! BARK! BARK!
She saw that the puppy was now looking healthy and was running around, barking. She didn't know what has happened but she was happy to see that the puppy's wounds have completely disappeared. But still…
Mikan's POV
"Hey, did I do that?" I wondered. "No way!" I answered my own question. Then, I noticed a small bruise on my knee that I got from tripping over earlier this day. (A/N: Mikan practically trips on anything, doesn't she? hehehe…)
"I just want to know…" I said as I placed my hand over my knee above the wound and chanted…
"HEAL!" then after another appearance of the weird light (A/N: this time, it was not as bright as the first. If the light doesn't appear anymore, it means that Mikan has become stronger and gotten used to the power of her alice), my wound disappeared.
--END OF FLASHBACK—
When the academy found out, they concluded that I can become a dangerous enemy if ever I would go against the academy.
--FLASHBACK—
Mikan's POV
Classes are still not over and a certain teacher with a frog on his shoulder was teaching class B.
"Sakura, go to the board and solve for the solution of these problems." He said.
So I got up, went in front, and solved the problems.
Everyone was quite shocked that I was able to answer the math problems even Jinno-sensei. But, I didn't pay attention. Since I found out about my special alice, I studied and trained hard to understand and control it.
"Very good, Sakura" I heard sensei say. "I see you've done some studying. You may go back to your seat now"
Just as I was about to go back to my seat, my heart started to pound harder and faster by the second. "Oh no! It's happening again" I said but it was barely a whisper.
"Sakura, I said you can return to you seat." Jinno-sensei said, irritated that I didn't go back to my seat after the first time he had told me to. By now I was clutching my uniform and held my hand near my heart and my hands were trembling. Jinno-sensei saw this and said. "Sakura, what's wrong?" After that, I heard murmurs and I also heard sensei say something but nothing was clear anymore. Everything went black.
I started to open my eyes. It was so bright. I realized that I was in the hospital. "Shoot! It happened again." I said. I was in a really bad mood that I didn't notice that there were 7 other people there with me.
"What? So this isn't the first time this has happened to you, Mikan-chan?" a voice said.
'Hey I know that voice. Anna?' I thought. Then, I realized that I wasn't alone. I looked around and saw Anna, Nonoko, Koko, Yuu, Hotaru, Ruka, and huh? Natsume is here, too?
'Shoot! I said that out rather loud' I thought.
Then, a nurse walked in and saw me. "Oh, it's you again Sakura-san. This is the 9th time you've been here this week!" she said. "You should…" but she was cut off.
"Nani?? The 9th time?!?" Anna and Nonoko said in chorus.
I gave Chi-chi, my nurse, a wrong-timing-now-save-me stare.
Then Hotaru points her baka gun at me. "Spill it out." She said.
"Uh… hehehe" I said as I sweat dropped, unable to say anything else. What could I say? I didn't want them to know.
"Ahem, as I was saying…" the nurse said. "Sakura-san, you should rest some more. I know that studies are important but you shouldn't put more than enough stress on yourself or else, you'll have another break down. I'm telling you that if you continue this, something bad is going to happen to you." She added with a serious look on her face.
"Okay, I'm really sorry. I'll adjust my schedule." I smiled a thanks-for-saving-me-and-I-owe-you-big-time smile to Chi-chi. She knows everything about me and my alices. I asked her to keep it a secret. I also asked her to help me control my alices so she became my personal nurse. She's the only one who knows, except for me of course but that'll change soon. I'll tell Narumi-sensei later.
(Later that day…)
Normal POV
Our favorite brunette was pacing in front of the faculty room. She was about to tell Narumi-sensei the discovery she had found out about herself but she was having second thoughts. Then, she finally gathered all her courage and was about to knock on the door when…
Mikan's POV
"I can do this" I said to myself "Yosh!"
I was about to knock on the faculty room's door when suddenly, it flew right open.
"Mikan?" a sensei said as he saw me. It was Narumi-sensei. "What are you doing here?" he said. "I was just about to go to your room to check up on you." He added.
"Ano, sensei... wa... watashi…" I stuttered. It seemed like I lost all my courage.
"Yes, what is it?" he asked me in a gentle tone.
"Sensei! I need to talk to you!" I finally blurted out.
Narumi-sensei just smiled at me and beckoned me to enter the faculty room. Of course I went inside. Inside I saw Jinno-sensei.
"Is it okay if Jinno-sensei is here?" he asked me. I nodded.
Then I told them everything. I told them about my secret alice and what happens to me when I use it more than once a day. Oh, and I also told them about Chi-chi and how she became my personal nurse. I asked them to keep it a secret. They agreed but they told me that the headmasters should know. I already knew that so it didn't bother me much. They asked me of those who knew.
"Both of you (Narumi-sensei and Jinno-sensei), Chi-chi, and myself" I answered. "I didn't tell anyone else because I don't want anyone to worry, considering my alice seems to have a not-so-good effect on me" I added. The senseis understood me.
When Narumi-sensei told the headmasters, the headmasters seemed uneasy of having a student with such an alice.
--END OF FLASHBACK—
Mikan's POV
So, the academy's only solution was: to FORCE me to work for them. I agreed to this because Persona threatened to hurt my loved ones if ever I refused. So I made a deal with the academy that I'll train and work for the academy under two conditions.
1st condition: no one will get hurt and
2nd condition: no one will know that I go on missions.
The academy sealed the deal and I started training. They made me join a special underground group in the academy that only few are aware it exists: THE KAGE (THE SHADOW GROUP) (A/N: This was just made up for the fic but kage, pronounced literally as ka-ge, really means shadow or dark image) The only people who knows the group's existence is Narumi-sensei, Jinno-sensei, the headmasters, and Persona.
I've stumbled across a book, well, it looked more like a report or file of some sort, once when I was snooping in the restricted area of the library. Hey, I'm a good girl but I was snooping for books about my alice at that time. Anyway, the book said that the shadow group accepts only exceptional boys with outstanding talents and alices. When they made me join that group I thought, "Hey! I thought the shadow group is only for boys. Hmm, I guess I'm an exception."
I agreed to join the shadow group. They told me that I would be the fifth member of the group. I didn't really mind being in a group with boys because I was happy when they told me that the leader of the said group would be the one to train me – not Persona. I didn't like Persona especially since he threatened to kill my loved ones.
THE KAGE
The Kage was formed many years ago. It served as the representation of the alliance of four noble families, headed by the Kuragari clan. There was an heir from every clan that assumes the position as an elite member of the Kage if ever their representatives died. (A/N: I made this all up so don't go searching for any historical facts regarding this detail)
Now, the current members are descendants of the four noble elites who were the founders of this mysterious association. They are of German origin but they have a bit of Japanese spark in them as well.
1st member: TAKAI KURAGARI, the leader of this prestigious group. He has dark brown hair and mesmerizing grayish blue-green orbs. He has a fair complexion and a fit body. He is a high school student in the academy and also has a double-sided alice. His alices are to manipulate time and the dissolving alice (just like Noda-sensei and Persona). He won multiple sports and martial arts competition and is also known as a genius.
2nd member: YAMI SUZUKI, he is second in command in the group. He has dark blue curly hair and ocean blue eyes. He has the same complexion and body as Takai. His alice is the ability to control water. He is Takai's closest friend. He has been praised for his talent in sports and academics.
3rd: member: DAISUKE WATANABE, a red-haired boy with greenish brown eyes. He is a few months older than me. His alice is to summon and control evil spirits (just like Youichi, only his is a lot stronger). He is also one to excel in athletics and academics.
4th member: HIROSHI TANAKA, a boy who has the power to manipulate gravity. He has messy purple hair, plus golden brown eyes. He is roughly the same age as Daisuke and is just as gifted as him.
They study at Alice Academy Germany. They are all dangerous ability types and they all go on missions. And of course, seeing how brilliant all of them are, they are all special stars.
And of course, there is the…
5th member: lastly me, MIKAN SAKURA, the only girl in the group. I was only a two-star when all of us met, though. So, I was determined to be a special star, too.
I started training with them immediately after we were introduced with each other. Though they were surprised to find out that a girl would be joining their group, they accepted me. In fact, everyone, especially our leader treated me like a princess. But of course, they took training seriously.
Our training sessions were held at the forests in Gakuen Alice (Japan). Whenever we have some training scheduled, they'd hop on a plane and fly to Japan. Then, we'd meet at night time, after the students had already gone inside their dormitories.
I trained on various martial arts. Now, if I were to compete on a sports tournament I would win easily and would surely become the champion. In short, I became the perfect athlete.
I became smarter as well. Jin-Jin and Narumi-sensei told me to read and study more because I needed to know a lot to be able to perfect my alices. So I did study hard and I was soon able to perfect my nullifying alice. However, even if I did become a genius, I was not able to completely control and perfect my 'secret' alice. After all, I'm still the same clumsy idiot Mikan.
My 'secret' alice allows me to use any alice I please, want, wish… even accidentally…
--FLASHBACK—
(CHAPTER 1 – Mikan's POV)
"Darn that Natsume!" I said to myself. "I know that he's smart and knows the answer but he doesn't need to make me feel stupid by smirking." I added.
"If only I could read minds…" I continued blabbing to myself.
--END OF FLASHBACK—
Normal POV
Mikan suddenly sat up. "Oh! So that's when I used my alice" she said of the realization. "Oh well" she sighed. "I better be more careful" she added.
BARK! BARK! BARK!
"Oh, gomen Yam-Yam. Did I wake you up?" she asked.
Yam-Yam just gave a small bark and went back to sleep.
"You're such a spoiled, fat dog." Mikan giggled.
(A/N: remember the puppy she saved 4 years ago? Well, she decided to keep him and named him Yam-Yam.)
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Mikan's POV
"Huh? What's that beeping sound?" I wondered. "Darn! That's my alarm clock. I guess I better go."
----------------------------------
Normal POV
A certain raven-haired girl was busy. She was concentrating on finishing yet another amazing invention until she noticed a figure running towards the northern forest when she took a peek outside her window.
Hotaru's POV
"Huh?" I said. "Was that Mikan?"
"Impossible! Even that idiot's not that stupid to go out at this time of night especially since it's been snowing hard."
"Oh man!" I sighed. "I should rest now and get rid of all this stress."
"After all, today is the last day of classes for this semester. That means tomorrow, winter break will begin." The ice queen said thinking about all the opportunities she could get this winter break to earn a lot of rabbits.
Money signs were already forming in her eyes as she wore an evil little grin.
A/n: Hey guys! So, what do you think of this chapter?
Also, nobody answered my: "Would you want to have also a RukaxHotaru pairing or have a solid NatsuMikan story?" question.
So, I'm asking again, which do you prefer? Or just tell me the pairings you want, and I'll go over it. I'm open to suggestions.
By the way, the time range for my updates is from 1 week to a few months. It also depends on how many reviews there are.
