Chapter 5: Half human, half alice
Mikan POV
"Narumi / gay sensei?" Natsume, Hotaru and I exclaimed. The blond guy just grinned and nodded.
My head jerked towards Natsume. "How the hell did you know gay-sensei?"
Natsume rose his eyebrows and faced me. "He's my homeroom teacher."
I stared at gay-sensei and read his mind then gasped.
"YOU AND THE OTHER NARUMI SENSEI ARE THE SAME PERSON!" I shouted so loud that everyone covered their ears. I blushed and apologized.
Gay sensei's grin widened and spoke up "Mikan-chan, when I'm in Gakuen Alice, I look and dress exactly the same as when I'm in Seiyo Academy. It's your fault that you were not alert enough."
My blush deepened and I apologized AGAIN. Hotaru looked away and I could sense she was ashamed. Imagine, Hotaru Imai, ashamed of herself.
"Okay…so what did you mean by 'then it's time'?" Natsume said, changing the subject. I thanked Kami-sama someone here had a brain.
"Ah…Natsume…If I'm not wrong, you know nothing about your father. Am I right?" gay-sensei questioned. Natsume nodded.
"It's time to learn about the history of your father. Come. Mikan and Hotaru too." Gay-sensei continued, gesturing to the light behind him.
Natsume hesitated for a second and entered the light, Hotaru, Gay-sensei and I following right behind.
A few second later…
Natsume POV
We arrived in a wired place with people doing all sorts of wired stuff. Some were flying around. Some were throwing ice daggers and some were fighting. Was this a mental institution? For mental people? Am I mental? What does this has to do with my father? Was my father mental?
"Gay-sensei, why did you bring us back to Gakuen Alice?" I heard Hotaru ask.
"Cuz we're going to need the help of Noddachi-sensei." Narumi-sensei replied.
"We're going to time travel? SWEET!" Mikan exclaimed.
Time traveling? Cool. Maybe this trip won't be so bad after all. Did Hotaru say we were in Gakuen Alice? Is this the place where Alices like Polka and Hotaru live in?
"Yes. This our home." Polka said all of a sudden. Did she read my mind?
"Yes. I did." She replied to my thoughts. Dang. She did it again.
"Who is this Noddachi-sensei anyway?" I asked.
"His alice is time travelling. We need his help to travel into the past. We're going to show you the past of your father. And how they met." Narumi-sensei replied. The question was initially for Polka but still…
10 minutes later…
Mikan POV
Gay sensei finally managed to persuade slit eye, otherwise Noddachi-sensei, to let us time travel. I was so excited! It was going to be my first time! Plus, I get to see what kind of past Natsume's father had.
Natsume, Hotaru, gay-sensei, and I waited on a bench while slit eye prepared the portal meant for time travelling. While waiting, I tried to picture Natsume's father's past. Was he a gangster? Or a playboy like Natsume? Maybe a gay?
My thoughts were interrupted by someone coughing. I looked up to see that it was slit eye.
"Mikan, the portal is ready. Please enter." He informed me in a serious tone. At least he didn't call me Mikan-chan or Polka.
I nodded and entered. What I saw was definitely NOT what I had expected.
Hotaru POV
The room was white. As in TOTALLY WHITE. Even the furniture were white. Yeah. There were furniture! What happened to a black room with only a screen? The only thing that was not white was the popcorn. Dang. This was good.
There was a guy sitting on the sofa. He had blond hair and blue eyes. He reminded me of someone… he reminds me of Ruka. WAIT A MINUTE. HE IS RUKA! What the hell was he doing here?
Beside me, I heard Mikan gasp. She must be reading his mind.
"Don't say it Mikan. I want to say it myself." Ruka said. Obviously, he knew Mikan could and was reading his mind.
Mikan nodded and Ruka turned to face a confused Natsume.
"I'm sorry, Natsume. I didn't know. I'm an alice that lost his memories a few years back. No wonder my parents treated me like I was adopted. I really was. Sorry."
"It's okay Ruka, you didn't know. I can't blame you." Natsume replied with a gentle smile on his face. Wow. He actually has a soft side.
Behind me, Noddachi-sensei coughed and asked "So are you guys / gals ready?"
Everyone nodded.
"alright then. Make yourself comfortable." He pointed to the sofa. Everyone jumped on it and grabbed the popcorn but stopped when an image appeared on a screen.
Their eyes were glued on it. Especially Natsume's.
On the screen:
A raven haired guy was roaming in the hallway of Gakuen Alice. He glanced around anxiously to check that no one was around before putting his palm on a brick wall. A part of the wall disappeared to reveal a room filled with weird stuff. The raven haired guy entered and the brick wall reappeared.
The scene changed to the guy in the room.
On the screen:
A raven haired lady was sitting on a sofa, using a laptop.
"Hey. Welcome back darling." Her gaze shifted from the laptop to the man when he entered and smiled.
The raven haired guy smiled back, walked towards her and kissed her on the cheek. "Hey. How's the baby doing?"
The lady put her hand on her huge tummy and her smile became wider. "Little Nat's doing okay."
"Little Nat?" the man asked, his voice joking.
The lady pouted and answered "I've decided to name him Natsume. He's going to become as handsome as his daddy."
The man grinned. " Natsume's a nice name. And seriously Kaoru, you use weird language."
The lady just laughed along and patted her tummy.
"So what do we do once Natsume is born?" the lady suddenly asked, changing the subject.
The man grimaced.
" You'll have to go back to earth and hide Natsume there. He'll be one of a kind. A half human, half alice. The AAO would want him. But they wouldn't think about looking for him on earth."
"But I don't wanna part with you. Please…"
"There's no choice. It's to protect Natsume…"
"But-"
"No buts, darling. I'll visit you when I can. Just keep remembering me. I'll come one day."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Mikan POV
Noddachi-sensei paused the video and complains filled the room.
"Hey! I was enjoying that!" I protested and Natsume shot me a glare. Amazing. He can still glare after crying waterfalls. Yes. He cried.
"You enjoyed watching my parents struggle to keep me safe? Are you a sadist or something?" he growled. I just laughed.
"So who's Kaoru?" Hotaru asked and I laughed harder.
"You couldn't tell? That was the name of Natsume's mum." Ruka answered for me.
(A/N: Naru's sleeping. He can't stand this kind of drama.)
"Do you guys want to continue bickering or do you want to shut up and watch?" Noddachi-sensei asked and everyone quietened down. The video continued and this time, the scene was on earth.
On the screen:
A tiny baby was on Kaoru's arms. She was cradling her and singing to her softly.
"Mummy…Where's daddy?" 10 year old Natsume stopped playing with his stuffed toy and faced his mother.
"He's in Gakuen Alice, Natsume."
"Where's that?"
"Somewhere far far away."
" Is he going to come back?"
"I don't know darling…"
"How's Aoi?"
Kaoru's gaze shifted from Natsume to Aoi.
"She's okay. Just having problems sleeping."
"Oh."
A bright light appeared suddenly and a raven haired man stepped out.
"Hello Kaoru, Natsume." He greeted.
Kaoru's eyes widened. So did Natsume's.
"Is he an angel?" Natsume asked, his voice filled with wonder.
The man laughed. "You can say that. I'm your daddy. Hello."
"Whoa! My daddy is an angel! That's so cool!" Natsume squealed, waking Aoi up.
She was about to cry when she saw the man who stepped out of the light. Her crimson eyes widened and she reached out to him.
The man smiled and held her hand. When the contact was made, Aoi started crying for no reason.
A puzzled crossed Natsume's face and he asked Kaoru "Why is imouto crying?"
Before she could answer, a black light appeared and Aoi cried even more. Kaoru hid Natsume and Aoi behind her back and Aoi stopped crying.
Men in black stepped out of the light.
"AAO." Natsume's dad hissed under his breath.
"Hand over the kid or die" A man said, in a menacing tone.
"I'm sorry sir. We have no kids. My husband and I have just gotten married a month ago. We can't possibly produce a baby in such a short time." Kaoru answered in a calm tone, even though she was shaking.
The man in black smirked and pointed to Natsume's dad.
"I know him, he's Ioran Hyuuga. One of the most powerful alice users in the whole of Gakuen Alice. Now…You can't deny you don't have a child. Everyone in Gakuen Alice knows he broke the law…"
Kaoru flinched but continued denying she had a child. Suddenly, ice appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Ioran.
"Hand over the boy. NOW. Or he will suffer." The leader of the group threatened.
Ioran turned to face Kaoru and said while smiling slightly "Run. Take Natsume and Aoi with you."
"No…"
"Please, Kaoru, for me..."
"I don't want to…"
"And for Natsume."
Kaoru carried Aoi and Natsume in both her arms. Tears were flowing down her cheeks. She got up and ran as fast as she could.
"Let her go. We have Ioran." The leader said and the rest nodded.
The screen suddenly showed the words 'THE END'
"THAT'S IT?" Mikan shouted.
"Yup. For some reason, the rest of his past couldn't be found." Noddachi-sensei replied.
Mikan looked thoughtful for a moment and asked Noddachi-sensei if he could see Natsume's childhood pictures when he was 10.
"Sure."
The screen flashed a picture of Natsume playing with Aoi.
"Natsume-kun's so cute!" Narumi-sensei's voice filled the room.
Everyone turned to face him, everyone, except Mikan. Her eyes were glued to the screen.
"When did you wake up?" Ruka asked.
"When Mikan shouted."
"Mikan, are you okay?" Hotaru questioned with concern. "You look like you've seen someone you've haven't seen for a long time."
Now, everyone turned to face Mikan.
"Its…him…" Mikan whispered and passed out.
