Chapter 3: An Unnecessary Food Fight
The morning passed by quite fast. The Alice-users were slowly getting used to the new facilities around them, and each of them was getting accustomed to their hosts and new classmates, forming new circle of friends that are actually normal and have no kind of Alice ability. Well, not really all of them were getting accustomed…
It was already lunchtime, and the Alice users decided to eat by the roof where it's usually the least crowded. Since it is the host's duty to show their guests around, Horio, together with Sakuno, Tomoka, Katsuo, Kachiro and Ryoma were forced to go with Mikan and the others. Well, they found the new group interesting, so, they really weren't forced since they were curious.
"Hey, what and where is this super private academy you're going?" Horio asks nosily as they enter the roof. "Is it filled with weird people like that mind-reader guy? Or filled with nice people like Mikan-chan, Tobita-kun and Nogi-kun?" then he whispers, "Or filled with money-greedy people like Imai-san…?"
Unlucky for him, Hotaru has sharp ears. As if it was an automatic reflex, Hotaru pulls out a Baka Gun from out of nowhere, surprising and confusing the other Seigaku students, and starts to pull the trigger towards the poor and oblivious Horio.
Baka! Baka! Baka!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Horio cries with a scared voice, feeling invincible air punches all over his body, sending him to fly a few meters forward. Luckily, he came out alive. "W-w-w-what the hell is that thing?! Is that even legal?! O-o-ouch!!"
"Don't worry," Hotaru replies back blankly, sitting down in one corner, hiding her Baka Gun from eyes' reach. "It has been approved by the Government. It's a Baka Gun that gives out powerful Air Punches to Idiotic people. Power depends on the target's stupidity."
Approved by the Government?! Horio, Tomoka, Sakuno, Katsuo and Kachiro think to themselves, backing away in disbelief. A dangerous weapon approved by the Government and a thirteen years old girl is freely using it! Who are these people?!
Ryoma smirks at this and sits down, thinking, Interesting. He pulls out his Bento (A/n: A Japanese lunchbox, like what you see in animes) and starts eating quietly, oblivious of a certain Ruby-eyed Alice user eyeing him from not afar.
Yuu, very worried about Hotaru's recklessness of hitting people with her inventions, helps Horio stand up from his fall. He restlessly tells the Nanotechnology Alice user, "Mou, Hotaru-chan, don't you think you're a going a bit too far? To actually use your invention on these innocent people…"
Invention? Sakuno thinks to herself, amazed that the emotionless Imai Hotaru was able to invent something… unique. These new people… who are they really? They seem to be more than what we see them, although they appear to be normal…
Hotaru looks up and stares at Yuu, "What are you talking about, Tobita?" she asks with a blank look, her purple eyes not blinking. "I've been shooting my Baka Gun for 3 years straight on Mikan everyday and she appears to be normal. Not once did she go to the hospital, you know. And that Horio guy just experienced it once."
Hearing that statement, all eyes turns to the happy and not listening Sakura Mikan, who is busy eating her Howalons together with Koko. When she feels like she's being watched, the auburn-haired girl looks up and stares at the colorful eyes that are on her.
"Hmm? Nani, nani (What, what)?" Mikan asks happily, a small portion of a fluffy howalon stuck on the tip of her small and delicate nose, making her look like a small and innocent child eating an ice cream. She hands out her howalons and asks with a cheerful voice, "What, you want some howalons, too? You all can have some!"
"U-unbelievable…" Katsuo mumbles as he stares at the too-energetic Sakura Mikan, his jaw dropping. "To be shot by the… Baka Gun or whatever that's called – everyday for 3 years straight must be hard on her… I mean, did you see the impact Horio got?! That was crazy!"
Kachiro stiffly nods and starts to get scared on the mysterious Imai Hotaru, who seems to be beyond description. "I-I would r-rather not p-provoke her in the future…" he nervously whispers, sitting on a spot that was rather far from the cold amethyst-eyed beauty. "I don't want to e-end up f-flying anywhere soon…"
Horio, with a swollen cheek, agrees, "It was so painful!" the loud and outspoken Seigaku student cries, rubbing his red and swollen cheek with his hand. "That Imai is abnormal, I tell you! To demand money and shoot me with a weird gun suddenly… ouch! It hurts!"
"Hmp, you deserve it, moron!" Tomoka laughs, sticking out her tongue. Then she sits beside Horio and says in monotone, "You know what? I asked sensei earlier about these people. He has no idea about them, like their backgrounds or what school they came from. The only person who knows who they really are is the Principal. We should be cautious."
"So," Ryoma starts, putting down his chopsticks. "The only way to know is to ask them directly, right?"
"Ryoma-sama…" Tomoko mumbles, staring at the proclaimed "Child Prodigy" of the world of Tennis. She gives out a bright grin and nods, "Yup! So, let's ask them later!" Then she turns to Mikan who's handing out howalons to Ruka and Yuu and exclaims, "Mikan-chan! Can we also have some of your cotton candy?"
Mikan walks to her, confused. "Cotton Candy?" she asks with a puzzled look. She looks down to her fluffy Howalons and tilts her head slightly, "You mean these Howalons?"
Tomoka sweat drops and thinks secretly, Maybe that's the term they use for Cotton Candy in their school… "Uh, yeah! We're really curious what those 'Howalons' tastes like! Since you like it so much, I guess it would be pretty delicious!"
Mikan grins wide and sits down beside them. She would gladly let her new friends taste the deliciousness of her beloved Howalons! That was why she brought two of them in the first place, to share her happiness to other people when eating her most favorite snack food in the whole wide world. Well, that's the pure and naive Mikan for you.
"Here, Tomoka-chan," Mikan gives one to the hazel-eyed girl. Tomoka smiles at her and puts the food in front of her mouth.
"Arigato! Well, Itadakimasu!" Tomoka chirps, opening her mouth. She puts the Howalon in and lets it melt into her tongue. A few moments later, she looks up with stars in her eyes, "SO DELICIOUS!!! It's the best Cotton Candy in the whole wide world! So dangerously sweet… when it melts into your mouth, you could still savor the lasting sugary taste…"
"EH?" Sakuno smiles, her eyes showing amazement at Tomoka's reaction after eating Mikan's food. To have a reaction like that, it must taste extraordinarily good! "Can I have some, too, Mikan-chan?"
"Of course!" Mikan laughs happily, giving some to Sakuno. Sakuno eats it and closes her eyes. "So, what do you think, Sakuno-chan?"
Sakuno opens her eyes to reveal twinkling stars. She exclaims happily with her gentle and soft voice, "It really is delicious! Tomo-chan wasn't kidding!"
"REALLY?" Horio, Katsuo and Kachiro cry out at the same time, their lips filled with drool already. Seeing the unusual reactions of the girls who looked like they already seen heaven, they were tempted to try out the Howalons Mikan was carrying.
I-I want to try some, too… the three boys think at the same time, swallowing hard at the mere sight of the tasty, pink, and fluffy howalons. Mikan notices their growing attraction to her beloved Howalons and smiles cutely, probably thinking to give the boys some.
"Here, have some," Mikan smiles brightly at them, being her generous and caring self. She hands out her box of Howalons and nods at them to get one. The nullification Alice user was really happy that her new classmates like her Howalons very much.
"DELICIOUS!" the three boys cry out together with a large smile, loving every second their tongue taste the sweetened taste of the melting Howalon. "IT'S THE BEST! I NEVER HAD ANYTHING THIS GOOD BEFORE!"
Ryoma watches his classmates talk excitedly about the Howalons with his intense hazel eyes without saying a word, wondering what's so good about a mere cotton candy the new girl brought that it would actually push them to cry out loud with stars in their eyes. Well, not that he care anyway… cotton candies are for kids, and he definitely wasn't a kid anymore.
"Instead of watching them quietly, why don't you try some, too?" a familiar voice calls out to him, getting his attention. He turns his head and stares, for the second time that day, at two warm chocolate orbs owned by the cheerful Sakura Mikan. "Here, have one!" Mikan smiles as she hands him a portion of her snack.
Ryoma quietly just looks at Mikan's hand. He stares at her eyes again without saying a word. Mikan stares right back at him and smiles, urging him to have some. Ryoma smirks and reaches his hand to get it, but stops when he feels another hand firmly grip his arm.
The Tennis prodigy looks up and stares at the blazing red eyes of Hyuuga Natsume, whose intentions are secretly carved in his ruby orbs. Ryoma looks down and smirks at this, as if trying to mock the 13 year old Alice user. Natsume sees this and tightens his grips in Ryoma's arm, as if stopping him from trying to get nice with Mikan, not caring if he's hurting the Seigaku student or not with his rigid grasp.
"N-Natsume!" Ruka exclaims, running towards his angry best friend. He rarely gets to see Natsume this heated… or jealous before. To actually get this serious with Echizen Ryoma when he wasn't even literally interacting with Mikan means that this guy is dangerous… and that a threesome competition is already on its way. And for Natsume to get this mad means that there is a high possibility of him exposing his Fire Alice.
"Hmm…" Hotaru smiles as she pulls out a camera from out of nowhere, trying to picture the two soon-to-be rivals. "This will be interesting."
"N-Natsume-kun! What are you doing?" Mikan exclaims angrily, standing up, trying to pull the self-proclaimed 'Black Cat's' hand. "You're hurting him! Stop it!"
"Shut it, polka-dots!" Natsume snaps at her, pushing Mikan away with his free hand, making her lose her balance; thus, making her fall down. But, fortunately, Ruka was beside the pigtailed girl all that while and was able to catch her before she landed on her butt against the hard concrete floor.
Mikan looks at Natsume with confused and concerned eyes as Ruka holds on to her tightly, as she seems to have lost the strength to stand on her two feet. "Natsume… what…"
"H-hey, what's going on?" Horio starts to stammer, confused as to why Natsume was glaring at Ryoma with such a cold face and why the sudden cheerful atmosphere changed to an awkward and dangerous one. "H-hey, Hyuuga, I know you look cruel, but you really don't need to act like one, you know…"
Katsuo turns to him and signals him to be quiet. "D-don't try to irritate him if you still want to be alive, Horio!" Katsuo whispers in a nervous tone, his palms already sweating. "I have a bad feeling that he's really mad at something…"
Sakuno turns to Katsuo and asks frantically, "W-what is it? What made him so mad that he actually tried to hurt Ryoma-kun?"
Yuu cups his face fretfully as he notices Natsume's mood made a 180 degree turn to the dangerous zone. "Oh dear, this is getting really bad, really bad… and it's just the first day!" He takes a step forward and speaks, "Please, stop it, Natsume-kun! Jinno-sensei told us not to make any kind of violence! Please, snap out of it!" but despite what the class representative say, Natsume continuously glare at the smirking Ryoma.
"I'm currently reading his mind," Koko suddenly blurts out with his freaky smile. "And now I wish I didn't."
"W-what…? What is it, Koko-kun?" Yuu hopefully turns to his mind-reader classmate. "Please tell us what he's thinking?"
Koko turns to the Class Representative and gives out a surprisingly hesitant smile, asking softly, "Are you sure… class representative? I… don't really think it's a good idea."
Yuu shakes his head and explains, "We need to know what's on his mind, Koko!" His golden eyes glance to Natsume and swallows hard at the frightening sight that's happening in front of him. "I know I'm having a death wish, but we need to know what's on his mind. We need to know what makes him so angry so we can solve this problem as soon as possible to avoid any kind of fatalities!"
"Okay," Koko replies. "-Beep-! What a -Beep- this -Beep- is! What is this -Beep- thinking, trying to get all -Beep- to -Beep-! -Beep--Beep--Beep-! I'm going to -Beep- this -Beep- right now and teach him a -Beep- -Beep- he'll never -Beep- forget! -Beep--Beep--Beep-!"
"Oh my virgin ears," Tomoko sighs as she faints and falls in Kachiro's lap, making the first year surprised.
After hearing the indecent thoughts of Natsume in Koko's mouth, Yuu freezes as his glasses slowly falls off without him realizing it. For Natsume to swear secretly that much, Natsume is really, really, REALLY mad. And if Yuu doesn't do anything to control it, his role as the class representative is in dangerous turmoil, with little chance of recovering.
"You…bastard…" Natsume mutters angrily, lowering his face as to avoid the people see the rage in his eyes. "I won't forgi –"
"Nahorodo (A/n: It's kind of: "Oh, I see" or, "So, that's it")," Ryoma interrupts, looking up with a smirk without flinching. "It seems that my intentions were misunderstood as acts of stealing something… or is it someone?" He looks down and smirks again. "Mada Mada Dane."
"What did you say…" Natsume mutter in a dangerous tone, alerting Ruka and Mikan as it looked like Natsume is ready to burn Ryoma in any second now. But before he could make any actions, Mikan broke free from Ruka's grasp and pushes Natsume off Ryoma, thus, secretly nullifying Natsume's Alice in the process. Natsume falls to the floor with Mikan on his chest.
Ryoma turns to Mikan with a slight surprised face, not expecting that the bright girl would actually jump out and push his attacker off him. He calculated that the girl would be too scared to step in the battle zone, but she proved him wrong. This "Mikan" is very unpredictable, Ryoma thinks to himself.
"Natsume no baka, Natsume no baka!" Mikan screams with tears in her eyes, making the Fire Alice-user speechless. "I can't believe you did that to Ryoma-kun! You're such a jerk! Think before you act!" Mikan then gets up and runs to Ryoma. "Ryoma-kun, we should get you to the clinic! I'll accompany you!"
Ryoma looks down and stands up, his left hand touching his right arm where Natsume grabbed him. "No," he says softly, looking up. "That was nothing. It didn't even hurt one bit." He glances to Natsume who was glaring at him and then mockingly smirks at him. "I thought his grip was pretty weak, actually."
"Tch!" Natsume looks away. "Whatever."
Ryoma picks up his empty lunchbox and starts to walk away towards the exit, leaving everybody else behind him. "I'll be going ahead," he says, waving one hand.
Mikan stares at Ryoma's retreating back, obviously concerned for her newly found quiet friend. "Ryoma-kun…"
Dear Grandpa,
Something terrible happened today. All of a sudden, Natsume tried to hurt Ryoma-kun when Ryoma-kun didn't even do anything to him! What's happening, Grandpa? Why is Natsume acting this way? I'm so confused!
Mikan
To be continued…
Oh dear… I think I made another LONG chapter. Please, please, PLEASE forgive me if this chapter just bored you to death. As you can see, it's my first Gakuen Alice and Prince of Tennis fan fiction, so, they may be a little Out of Character. But, this IS Fan fiction. That means I can write anything in my will based on my imagination.
To those who reviewed last chapter, thank you very much! I would gladly reply to each and every one of you, but unfortunately, I want to save a few space since it's about to pass 3000 words. I'll try to put your suggestions in consideration, but I don't know if I will use them. It depends on how the story will turn out. sweat drops
Well, like I said, PLEASE REVIEW. It is a sign of appreciation for my hard work. I made this chapter 12:30 in the morning until 3:00 A.M. Criticisms are allowed, but flames are a no-no.
