Well, hi! Long time no see eyh? I guess that's my fault since I haven't updated but I have a good reason!
I've been helping out at work while having exams to study for! But I guess I should have anyways.
So here you go the newest chapter I've written.
After that eventful course, the whole class had home economics and they all headed towards the room where that class was occurring. They took their time to go to each of their lockers and slowly walk and discuss what about their life before getting into the academy... Some what they were surprised to know that a friend of Miki, before she met Mikan and was a friend of her parents lived in orphanages and were treated badly. Miki did as best she could just to make the old woman happy, she even went as far as to find the place where she was orphan and gave it a try and sewed them until they even had to give away their pair of pants!( Talk about being angry. :D) It hurted the old lady to know that her own mother did not want her, but she learned that not everyone has a good life and is lucky to be in a happy family. The food that was served there were not exactly in plates, there were rarely meat, no sweets and almost no veggies. They mostly had only white rice and they practically didn't even know how fish tastes like!
Miki, Mikan and Arata, Miki's partner, went for a tour of the place and since they were already tired because they were all looking for different classes since they wanted to make sure not to be lost the following days and they visited different places like the pool, the garden and the green house.
When they were done with just that, the other places were left for the next day, Mikan has yet to meet her partner. Mikan wondered if her partner was as nice as Arata. Since after all that walk around the school made them exhausted, they all retreated to their room and yet again, Mikan forgot where their rooms were... Luckily, Miki remembered the way to go! Mikan took her shower slid on some night grown courtesy of the school and walked to her bed. In the baggage's, she tool out a small portable computer.
She opened it and there were drawings inside that was simply amazing, divine and some what colourful even if there was only white and grey. The different tones of grey was memorable, those made the picture look as if it had been coloured with precision, the drawing on computer and or from a professional.
She opened files and files to finally get to her diary. She wrote everything inside that digital diary, through she did have an online blog...
Dear D, she started…
It's been a while hasn't it? I guess I've been trying to get comfortable with the new changes… It's tough to get a heart break and leave already, she continued. Oh yeah, you still don't know about my heart break, oops! ^/^ Well, remember I wrote about Kyo? Turns out he was double timing for a while and was doing it under my nose. So many times, he's gone to so many parties… All those time, he was already cheating… Maybe, just maybe, I shouldn't have been this naïve… But what's past it past and besides this is who I am! But I've decided that things are going to be a little different this time. I will not fall for people's tricks so easily. No man will ever penetrate my hard façade.
With love,
Mi-chan, she signed.
Mikan finished typing and saved her file closed everything and opened up the internet explorer and had surfed on certain websites. She listened to songs, read stories and updated her blog. After a few other things, the girl was feeling tired and went to sleep.
The night was quiet and everyone was slumbering. They were sleeping soundly and as heavily as a rock. They had been in a deep sleep. Most of the academy was asleep, the man outside of the academy, out of the wall, barrier of the school was protecting the vital info, stealing back the items and stealing from the AAO, the infamous Anti-Alice Organisation… The boy was jumping from tree to tree, swung from branch to branch and ran as fast as his legs would carry him.
He went to the one man he wished he could escape from to give his report to him…
"Good, Kuro Neko, good…" whispered the man. That man specifically sent chills down the back of all dangerous ability students, even those in the High school division. One movement from the taller man could send them to the worst death, literally.
The younger man did nothing but leave. There was no answer to the one he wished to escape. All he wanted to do was fall asleep on his warm bed, in a house where he would be away from this horrid man and this horrible academy and be with a warm, loving family, but he could not and that wish of his would never be granted…
He returned to the chamber he was given as a room in the dorm of his division, logged onto his computer and surfed the internet. He went to multiple blogs just to find out how people felt, to find someone whose feelings matched his that night. He didn't search long through, but that, has nothing to do with us…
The next morning, an alarm clock chorused in a small room, trying to wake up a certain person, as through the alarm clock was alive; it rang louder and louder and louder until a hand slammed onto the snooze button.
Groaning, the man sat up and blinked his eyes open, then closed and open, then closed. He repeated that process until his eyes were used to the light by the sun in his room. He sat up, looked over to his night table to see that it was still early in the morning. The young man still woke up, went to his computer and listened to some songs. Without realising it, he fell asleep in front of his computer…
The next thing he heard was footsteps from far and from close. He could not believe his luck, girls were at the door step of his room and were trying to decide who wakes him up, which obviously, to him, was distasteful. There were loud screams that erupted from the outside of his room and the movements stopped. He wasn't aware of what was happening on the outside and the curiosity in him was begging to get out, take control and find out what was happening.
Another part of him was too lazy to even open his eyes. The young man was debating to either get off his lazy ass and open the door to find out what was happening and risk getting his cloths clawed off his body and his room becoming empty and trashed by the girls outside or stay until they are obligated to leave by the sound of the bell and basically the murderous intend of the Ice Queen trying to pass by. His brain chose the latter.
As he waited for the Ice Queen to walk by, he thought back at his times at his safe house, his true home, where his father currently lives in solitude… He was lost in his own thoughts, nothing penetrated through his brain, until the bell rang that is. Reality filled his senses, telling him that nothing will be the same as before. His life wouldn't end as late as everybody else, not the same as Ruka, not the same as anyone around him… In his head, happiness will never find him, at least not in this hellhole of a place.
His heart wrenched at the thought of never finding the happiness he's always wished for and the happiness of his best friend. Preparing himself again, he felt the sadness overwhelm his heart, the tears stung his eyes and blurred his vision. His nose felt an indescribable itch inside and something wet fell on his face. He tried blinking the tears away, but as he tried, the water still squeezed out of his eyes and flowed down his cheeks and onto his shirt. The more he tried to stop, the more overwhelming it became and finally, he gave up. He let the tears flow freely on their own and silent sobs finally broke free of his hold and erupted from the back of his throat. The pain buried deep down inside his heart jumped out and made him lose control, the pain mocked him for his inability to help and save his little sister, to protect his best friend and even to protect himself. He slid down to the floor as he cried, pulled his legs up to his chest and cried on his arms until he finally fell asleep again and in a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, he quickly scanned the room realising he was panicking over nothing, he got himself dressed in appropriate clothes to appear for a mission to protect the people who are dear to him. He hurried into the dark forest, filled with unusual creatures and was easy to get lost in. He felt unusual too, the forest was filled with a distant warmth today. The forest felt different, looked different and was a bit brighter than before. He checked his watch to see if he had time to check out the forest a bit to see if something was different from the normal. He had that time and so, he sprung into action. He searched for that little difference, it didn't take long until he found it too.
There was a girl under his tree, the tree he hangs out at a lot. The girl had caramel brown hair that ends at her waist and she was curled up in a ball, asleep and leaning on the tree trunk. To his eyes, she looked innocent and sad and lonely. He felt compassion for the girl, she resembled him emotionally, even if he wasn't innocent anymore… Natsume suddenly realised he'd been blind to lots of his surroundings right now. He blocked out one of his most important sense, his hearing. The reality finally grasped him and realised she was humming and occasionally singing. The red eyed boy thought she had a great voice but he knew he didn't know her so didn't say anything but left soon after the song started. He had gotten to the destination on time and waited a little while before Persona, the horrible, horrible man appeared.
After the night switched to the day, Mikan woke up a little later and had to run after reading the message Miki had left for her.
It said:
Mikan, I hope you wake up early enough on your own because I have to get to class early since there's a homework I don't get. So don't expect me to be there early enough to wake you up. Sorry for not giving you a warning in advance, I'll make it up to you after school.
P.S.: Don't, and I repeat, Don't be late for class!
She turned on the showers and brushed her teeth for 2 minutes and jumped into the shower. She blamed herself to have gone to bed later than usual last night. Damn it! She thought. Her shower lasted for 8 minutes and Mikan towel dried her hair first and then blow dried it. While rushing to comb it, she packed her bag and drank a glass of milk. Soon after her glass was empty, the put it in the sink to be washed right after class and dressed into the uniform while eating a piece of toast. In her head she did a little check list. She had brushed her teeth, took her shower, taken her stuff, eaten breakfast and gotten dressed. With everything checked, she rushed out the hallway, locking the door behind her and ran as fast as her legs could take her. She had run for a while and distracted with looking for the class, our heroine had run into a boy so hard that she fell back onto her butt while the boy didn't even move an inch.
"Watch it, bitch, yelled the boy.
Mikan rubbed her sore bottom and finally looked up to see the boy she bumped into. She had felt angry about the insult but let it slip because she had it coming since it was her who bumped into him the first place.
"Sorry, apologised Mikan with a pain filled face.
Right after that sentence, she got off her bottom and started running again, trying to find her own class room. When she actually found the classroom she burst into the room and yelled: "I'm sorry I'm late! I got lost on my way here!"
The whole room turned and looked at her weirdly. They all had an eyebrow raised and a surprised look on their faces. Mikan stared right back at them and when she couldn't take the silence anymore, she asked: "What? Is there something wrong?" And when those words left her lips, half of the students in the class had started to laugh. Everything was confusing. Why were they laughing and not at their seat? How come Mr. Narumi wasn't there yet and most importantly, why was Natsume here?
"Okay, break it up! Everyone, stop laughing!" Ordered a voice.
Most of the class closed their mouth and turned around. They were surprised to see Miki standing, with a chainsaw in hand while saying: "Whoever isn't at their seats in 5 second their most precious stuff will be chopped into pieces" threatened Miki.
When the class finally heard the last of the words they all ran to their bags only to find that all things that they stuffed in it were gone. Well except for a black haired beauty, still on her desk making her inventions. All hell broke free. Some ran to their seats, others begged at Hotaru's feet asking her to help them and ended up getting shot… by the Baka-canon. They were all screaming, running and jumping. In all that there were a few pushes. Hands shot up to grab their stuff and Miki would simply and effortlessly swat their hands away.
In her mind, she was thinking of giving it back if they apologised to Mikan but then again, it was also a distraction to pass the time since obviously Mikan had not noticed that the bell hasn't rung yet. While in deep thought, lots of people noticed that she was distracted and tried they luck getting their stuff back. That didn't work either… Even while she was in deep thought she still had her reflexes on. Every hand was slapped extra hard for trying to grab their stuff while she was thinking of other things.
They were still fighting when the bell had rung. Natsume had already walked towards his seat, silently greeted Ruka and slid down onto his seat next to the window. With a manga on his face, he fell asleep. Mikan had not moved yet. She was too amused by people's reaction and Miki's action. It was hard to believe that the girl had taken the whole classes stuff and piled them all up on her desk and slapped every hand away while not paying attention to what was happening. Too bad the teacher had appeared behind her and startled her when he erupted with rage.
"EVERYONE! TO YOUR SEATS! THIS INSTANT!" Boomed the man.
Miki had stopped swatting their hands away by now and let them take their stuffs back while having a huge smirk on her face. Every trouble maker and Mikan had frozen onto their spots and slowly turned around finally seeing the teacher and then Mikan turned her head to her seating finding her partner there already and DAMN IT! ITWAS THE GUY SHE SLAMMED INTO THE MORNING, NOT LONG AGO! Moodily, she limped towards her place and silently slid into her seat. It was quite quiet since the teacher got there. Usually, the class would annoy the teacher or the substitute until they were running out of the class or were cowering in fear at the corner of the room.
While returning to her seat, Mikan had greeted Miki, Hotaru, Nonoko, Anna, Incho, Arata and Ruka. She had also whispered Good morning to her partner but obviously, he didn't hear her or plainly ignoring her.
Yes, I know! It was awfully long before I posted again and I'm sorry for that. I guess I had been a lot busier than I was before. I had schools and exams and work to do for a long long long while and as I was having exams.
So sorry for the disappointments I have caused and I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
See you next time! =D
