ALICE AND FEATHERS

CHAPTER 3

A new morning came to the Academy Grounds. The students are still fusing about the commotion last night. Ruka, which is involved in the incident, questioned by his stupid fan girls and some interested fan boys. Natsume on his side created a ring of fire to scare them away.

On the other hand, Mikan miraculously wake up early and prepared the uniform for the temporary transfer students. Her uncle told her just this dawn. The second one to wake up was Sakura, who immediately helped her. A few minutes later, the sleepyhead travelers woke up to find that they need to take a bath fast. Or else, they will be late.

Syaoran, who heard a knock from the door, opened it and it revealed a raven-haired girl with purple eyes looking at him from head to toe. Mikan followed him, wondering what is taking him so long. The brunette suddenly saw the Ice Queen and widens her arms to a friendly hug.

"Hotaru!" she exclaimed, her eyes glistening with happiness.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

Moreover, the next thing Syoran knew, Mikan was lying unconscious on the floor. She recovered her consciousness ghastly and asked Hotaru why she did it again.

"Who is this guy?" Hotaru pointed the Baka Gun to the all mighty Syaoran.

"Ah! He is Syaoran Li. A temporary transfer student." Mikan explained.

Hotaru eyed Syaoran again. Syaoran gulped hard. In addition, the cute Mokona Modoki arrived and broke the terrifying mode.

"Ohayou Syaoran! Ohayou Mikan!"

"How do you know my name?" she asked, wondering how the creature knew her name.

"Ah! Fye told me!" the creature sang.

Hotaru eyed the brunette and she received a new bunch of bullets from the infamous Baka Gun. The brown-haired woman lost her consciousness for the second time.

"Fye is also a transfer student!" Mikan explained again after regaining her consciousness.

"Are you also telling me that this talking creature here is also a transfer student?" Hotaru pointed Mokona.

"Of course not!" Mikan waved her hands in front of her, looking as if she is telling the truth that is true.

"Mikan-chan? Syaoran and Mokona, what taking you so long?" Sakura peeped thru Mikan's room.

"She is also a transfer student right?" Hotaru sighed.

"Hai… Actually, they are four transferees. Fye-kun…" Mikan said and Fye entered, introducing himself and Syaoran did the same thing. "Sakura-chan…" Sakura smiled. In addition, Kurogane entered, introducing himself. "I'm Kurogane…"

Hotaru nod and told them to hurry for breakfast. After the preparation, Mikan and the group walked out of her room and went to the cafeteria. All eyes were set on them, wondering whom those people beside their princess and the Ice Queen. Koko smiled, Mikan eyed him and so he shut up.

"Mikan-chan! Ohayou!" Yuu, the class president waved, along with him is Anna and Nonoko.

"'morning! Inchou!" Mikan waved back.

The group walked towards their table and sat there. Mikan introduced the temporary transfer students to her friends who gave them a warm welcome. Koko joined them…

"Mikan-chan, they are…" Koko whispered.

"You're right… Please do not tell anyone about this thing Koko it is confidential. Only the higher ups and we know about this secret." Mikan thought.

"Okay…" Koko smiled, looking away.

Natsume sat along with his best friend Ruka who is currently petting his bunny. The infamous black cat covered his eyes with his manga and waiting patiently for Mikan to make her daily outburst.

~Natsume's POV~

"Where is Mikan? Ugh! She woke up late again. Why am I always looking forward to see her everyday? It is as if my day is not complete when she is not around.

Her face,

Her smile,

Her laughter,

Her eyes,

Her nose,

Her lips,

Her everything!

I love it! I love her! Is it not obvious enough? I miss her already!"

~End of POV~

~Ruka's POV~

"I should thank Sakura-san for saving me last night. What should I do? Here are some of the examples…"

Thank her while having a picnic with animals and tell her about his feelings for her.

Tell her that he will do anything to thank her back, like marrying her.

Thank her, then go away, and sat beside Natsume.

"It is soooooooo embarrassing!"
