To moonacre99, Yukihara is the High School Division Principal.
Chapter 4 – Of powerful auras and painful truth
"Shiki-kun! Where's Natsume?"
"Mikan…"
"No!"
"He left with no trace…"
"No! This can't be happening!"
"Mikan! Mikan!" BAKA! "God damn it woman, wake the fuck up!" Hotaru screamed at the top of her lungs.
"What? What?"
"Mikan, I've been trying to wake you up for at least half an hour!" protested Hotaru. "Now we're going to be late in class!"
"Oh, I'm sorry" I said. "Just go ahead of me" and I started to fix myself. For some reason Hotaru wouldn't move. "What's wrong? I asked with a smile.
"Does she always have nightmares like these?" I thought. "What's wrong?" asked Mikan, I can tell that smiling like that is painful for her. Her smile didn't meet her eyes, she sure have changed.
"Nothing. I'll see you in class" I said and left.
She was alone for 7 years. Yuka-san and Shiki-kun must have been there but it must've been hard. She's pushing us away and wouldn't let anyone near to her heart. "She's so fragile…"
"Who is?"
"Holy crap!" I shouted. "Do you always sneak on people like that, Ruka?"
Ruka simply smiled. "Of course not, only the people I like" he said. "So, who's fragile?"
"You know who"
"I see" he said. "Mikan sure changed. She's a different kind of fragile now. Her spirits are gone"
"It died along with the principal" I suggested. Killing the principal with her own hands was hard for Mikan. She's kind hearted and gentle, a child like her shouldn't deal with stuff like that. "But past is past, it happened and there's nothing we can do about it now"
Ruka nodded. "You're right, we need to deal with out situation right now"
"Do you think it's just coincidence?" I asked and Ruka simply shook his head. I couldn't help but worry more. "I think so too"
"Where the hell is that girl?" I thought while slamming my fist on my desk and Sumire jumped.
"What's wrong Nastume-kun?" Sumire asked. She hasn't stopped clinging into me and she became sluttier ever year. "Do you want me to help you forget about your worries?" she continued and let her hand wonder off to my thighs.
What a slut. "Get off me, Sumire" I could tell she's about to protest. "Now!" I said firmly. I can't let Mikan see this; she might get the wrong idea. I felt Ruka sat next to me then followed by Hotaru. I couldn't help but give Ruka a confused look. He just smiled at me. "Why are you so happy?" I asked.
"Nothing" Ruka answered and just kept on smiling.
"Idiot"
Narumi literally hopped inside the class. "There must be a new student. It's rare to have new students in the High School Division, maybe a transfer student." I thought. "Listen up class! Today we have a new student!"
"Jesus!" I said while running to the classroom. "I only sat on the bed and instantly fell asleep! I'm late!" and continued running to the classroom. As I entered I was surprised at the powerful aura that I felt and Narumi-sensei being there.
"Good morning, Mikan!" he said.
"Morning" I replied while struggling to get rid off that powerful aura.
"As I was saying, free period everyone!" and so Narumi left.
I can't get rid of that feeling. Powerful auras usually means danger. "That person has the same aura like the Elementary School Division Principal's aura" I thought. There was a commotion going on near my seat. "Hey guys! What's going on?" I asked.
"You're late" Ruka said. "We have a new student"
"That's rare" and walked to the crowd. The girl has blonde hair and green eyes, her body is the perfect figure and I could tell every boy is drooling over her. "The powerful aura was from her?!" I thought.
The new girl looked at me and walked to me with utmost poise. "My name is Sobana Serizawa. You are?" she said and gave her hand to shake.
While shaking her hand I said "Mikan Sakura". She said "You have the same aura as mine, that's why I wanted to get to know you" in a whisper that surprised me. "What you're alice?"
"Nullification and Stealing. You?"
"I see, powerful ones. Manipulate Alice" she said.
Manipulate Alice? What the fuck, that's a very rare alice! I heard Okaa-san said that there was once a boy who used to have a Manipulate Alice where he can manipulate earth, fire air and water. "What does that do?"
"I can manipulate earth, water, fire and air" she answered. So I was right. "You're the person who killed the previous Elementary School Division Principal, huh?"
I was dumbfounded. No one has ever asked me something so straight forward. "Mikan, let's go" Natsume said and felt his hand dragging me outside the classroom. I didn't have any energy or enough consciousness to let go of Natsume's arm. How did she know? Where did she find out? Who told her? Who is she?
"Oi! Polka Dots!" said Natsume while waving his hand in front of my face. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" I said.
"What?"
"I said I'm fine!" Now that I'm awake, I remember distinctly that I decided to hate Natsume Hyuuga. "Why are you helping me?"
"I sensed your discomfort" he simply stated.
"That doesn't give you any right to drag me out here, Natsume!"
Natsume snapped. "What do you want me to do then?! Do you want to go back?? Be my guest!!" he shouted.
"I don't want anything from you! Can't you see I've been avoiding you?! Can't you tell that I don't want to be near you or have anything to do with you?! Can't you tell that Natsume?!" I said with all the rage I bottled up the past 3 days.
"Why?"
I was surprised with his question and I feel happy that he asked, angry that he doesn't know, confused if I should tell him… I was giving myself a headache and my mind is in overtime. "What should I do?" I thought. Natsume started to walk away. I didn't know if I should go after him. As if my legs has a mind of its own, I started to following Natsume. Then called out his name. He stopped. "I'm sorry" I said. "You don't even know how I feel and you don't deserve any of this"
Natsume didn't move and I didn't either. I waited for him to do something but nothing. I decided to just walk away and return to the classroom. Before I could even go so far I felt strong arms wrap itself to my wait.
"Stop" Natsume whispered. "Don't leave" and he turned me around "You deserve to know that truth."
"Natsume" I heard her call my name. "I'm sorry" Why is she saying sorry? "You don't even know how I feel and you don't deserve any of this" she uttered. Her words pinned me to the ground, as if my legs weighed a hundred ton metal. I heard Mikan's footsteps. Farther and farther away she goes and I still can't move my legs.
"I need to follow her" I told myself and ran for it. I hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear "Stop. Don't leave. You deserve to know the truth"
Flashback (4 years ago)
"Kana?" I said with a panic voice. "Kana? Answer me!"
"I'm here, Natsume" she said while waving her hand. "I'm over here!"
I walked to her while holding the bundle in my hands. I helped Kana up and said "We should get out of here. Call your sister"
We went to the bus top to wait for the bus going to Tokyo. "I guess it's time" I thought. "Ruka will help us." I said to Kana. "Kana, we'll be okay"
She nodded. "Onee-san said she will get the earliest flight to Tokyo so we don't have to worry."
I met Kana a year ago in Okinawa. She was my landlord lady's niece and she was the only one I could talk to. One night while walking home, a few guys came up to her. I heard her scream and run to her but to my surprise, she was able to defend herself. I realized that she's an Alice; she has the Drain Alice. She can drain the soul of a person and make it her energy; my mother had a friend with the same alice.
"Kana, the bus is here" I said. "Let's go" it took us about 3 hours to get to Tokyo. When we arrived to Tokyo, we decided to head for the academy at once. We only have a few energy left and getting inside is a problem. "Kana, I'll go in first. Hold Kazune."
A year ago Kana and I started dating. One night the landlord lady went to a business trip. Kana visited me to my apartment and everything just started to get out of our hands. I still remember that night. Kana had too much to drink and I was kind of drunk too. We only started kissing but Kana wanted more.
After 2 months, we learned that Kana is pregnant. We kept it a secret from the landlord lady and I rented a place somewhere else, giving the excuse of I can't afford the apartment anymore. We lived there for almost 10 months until our apartment was caught in fire. I suddenly realize that Kazune has the Fire Alice like me.
Now we're in front of Alice Academy. I avoided this place, fearing that I would see her. "I'm going to sacrifice in order to save Kazune" I told myself but before I could try to enter the academy I heard Kana's voice.
"Kana! Kazune!" I shouted when I saw Kana on the other side of the wall. I jumped to her side and lifted Kazune to my arms checking if she's injured. "Kana, what are you thinking?" when I looked down at her and saw "Blood. Kana, we should go. Ruka will help us"
End of flashback
Before I could continue my story, I heard Mikan hiccupped. "Mikan, what's wrong?" I asked and I saw her crying.
"You're asking me what's wrong?" she said. "How can anything not be wrong, huh?! You already have a child! With another girl!"
"Please listen to me, Mikan" I begged her. I've already gone this far, I can't lose her anymore.
"No!" she said. "Save it!" before I could stop her, she ran away. I couldn't find the courage to run after her. I buried my face to my hands and said to myself "I'm awful"
Hi everyone! (:
I realized the problems are piling up. Please bear with me!
Don't worry, the story ain't scattered. LOL
Love, Faux
