Chapter 10 part 1 – Reo?
I remembered the events five years ago. Never did I imagine that the events on that night would have serious consequences. Never did I imagine that the well thought out plan would bring about such tribulations in my life. The mission was simple Infiltrate and penetrate Gakuen Alice save the innocent children from the clutches of evil who would try to manipulate and corrupt their young minds before it was too late. Foolish thoughts they truly where. I don't know where it all went wrong was it when we miscalculated and used too much explosives that the noise resounded in the whole school immediately bringing the alarm up? Was it when he allowed my men to bring submachine guns? That should have been a dead give away. Anyone in their right man would have thought guns weren't appropriate to use on normal children but that was the problem they weren't dealing with normal children. They were dealing with people with special ability. How where you supposed to defeat them? I still don't know the answer to that but I do know it's not with guns.
(flashback)
"REO!"Misaki sensei yelled
"I'm back..." he said with a smirk on his face "and I brought along some friends."
"What do you want?" Narumi said.
"Are you stupid? I thought you figured out by now my intentions."Reo replied "The corruption of the Alice Academy stops tonight. The use of children for missions just to bring money to the academy ends today. Don't be scared children. It will be alright."he added
"Look whose talking as I recall you were willing to sell us to slave traders awhile back." Sumire responded as she recalled the time she and Mikan went on a rescue mission to save Natsume and overheard him state that while they pretended to be unconscious.
Boom as Sumire went flying when an energy ball the size of a basketball hit her.
Reo himself was surprised by that "person's attack". It's not like he gave the order to hit that annoying brat. He knew violence is part of the equation in the ultimate solution but violence against children wasn't something he condoned unless it was absolutely necessary. In this case it wasn't and that action only fueled the fire even more.
"BASTARD!" Natsume yelled as he threw a fire ball at Reo but was defended by one of his assistance by creating a barrier to defend him.
"They're using alices."Mikan whisphered to herself.
"You claim you want to stop the Alice Academy but you yourself are using alices kind of hypocritical of you."Yamada-sensei yelled.The usual composed woman who always had a crystal ball seemed distant the woman's demeanor can now be compared to a Lioness realizing her cubs where going to be harmed but helpless to do anything about it her body tensing up as she hears Reo's reply...
"Correction I never said that I wanted to stop the use of Alices. I said I want to put a stop on the Alice Academy by the way the word is Ironic and you're supposed to be an English teacher. Just don't resist and... BAM... Reo gets hit by a fireball unphased by the attack Reo continued... nobody gets hurt"
He truly did believe what he said. He wanted to capture rather rescue the children from Gakuen Alice with the least amount of resistance, with the least amount of hostility unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Just than a man under a cloak appeared who created several energy balls that surrounded him. The scene would have looked beautiful if not for the present predicament the students were in. It was like large blue fireflies illuminating threw the night. As it floated near its creator the energy balls stood still as if it was waiting for its creators command to attack its target so he did. With a wave of his hand the balls hit the teachers flinging them across the grounds. As the students took on a defensive mode they could hear there teachers pleading them to stop too bad the requests fell on deaf ears.
The orders towards his subordinate was simple DO NOT HARM THE CHILDREN. The attack was for the most part directed on the teachers they were truly the ones who were the target objective unfortunately everything truly went wrong when the bakemono awoke. It was actually the biggest unexpected variant he didn't include in his plot. But she knew about the bakemono if only she had clued him in on the bakemono's power than things wouldn't have gone so sour.
Mikan stood still threw out the Chaos. Lights flashing as attack on both sides were exchange but as she saw her friends fall one by one to the cloaked man something inside her awakened from her body a large a great blue ray was released to the sky. (KIND OF LIKE ON EPISODE 3 WHEN SHE STOPS NATSUME FROM USING HIS ALICE TO TOAST HOTARU, INCHOU AND HER.)came nullifying every alice insight at this everyone watched in horror as guns where now pointed at children, but mostly at Mikan what happened next was a shock Mikan levitated as her body still emitted blue light she stared down and gun shots where heard as Reo gave the command but no bullets seem to penetrate her unfortunately it seemed to have rekashaed to the people down bellow. Blood now covered the field of students, teachers and even attackers as Mikans tears started to fall for a brief moment time stood still literally no one could move even the blood stopped flowing. So much pain so much suffering for one little girl. As the moment end the attackers disappeared.
I remembered that moment when I stood on top of that hill. I thought I was alone but when I looked beside me I saw her. She was lying down on the grass. She looked so pale like she had died but watching her chest rise and fall disproved that thought. When I carried her in my arms she was light as a feather. She looked so innocent, so vulnerable and most of all so weak but I knew otherwise.
As Reo carried the child through the field he wondered where his comrades went. As the bullets rained on them he remembered being shot several times but when he was teleported to this place miraculously he couldn't see a single injury.
If there was one thing that went right on that mission it was her… but although it felt so right to have her by his side he could never forget to heed the cloak man's warning. "Don't get too close for one day the bakemono shall arise once again and once again she shall disappear." A woman's voice said. He never really removed his cloak well actually her but her voice was unmistakable. They might not have known who the cloak man rather woman was but Reo knew. Oh he definitely knew who she was…
Author's Note:
So who exactly is that cloak man or rather woman? Wait whatever happened to the falling Chibikan?
Chapter 10 part 2– Ojiisan Reo?
He never thought he would become a dad. It was never one of his plans. Although he was surrounded by legions of female fans settling down much less procreation was something he never included in his agenda. The reason he became a singer was one it helps finance the Anti-Alice Organization and two was because nobody would've suspected that he belonged in a vigilante group. It was actually a perfect disguise.
He never understood why he never disclosed he had the bakemono. It was hard at first to have a child, raise her as his and keep it a secret of the AAO especially with pesky paparazzis in every corner but he managed somehow.
Whenever Reo looked at her he's always reminded by her physical resemblance to her mother at the same time he is reminded that the two were so different from one another. If she didn't look like Yuka when Yuka was young he himself wouldn't have believed she was her daughter. The most significant difference is the fact she never smiles in fact she almost never shows any emotion.
The little girl that he took care of was such an oddity. She always had a stoic expression which is usually accompanied by a monotonic voice if she ever did say anything at all.
The first few weeks Reo thought the child lost the power to speak. When he finally decided to bring her to a specialist to cure her muteness she spoke and said "ojiisan." Since then he often believed she called him that just to torment him. For Reo was too young to be a dad much less be a grandfather. Amazingly whenever the AAO or the media would almost find out about the little girl she'd often pretend to be a doll more precisely a marionette. Since she had a pale complexion to an extent of too pale it was hard to believe the child was really a living being.
Her brunette hair now reached all the way to her back but it was void of any shine or luster. Her eyes which are considered the window to a person's soul was well how can you put this? The word would be lifeless. Aside from that she was a normal little girl who lost her Alices she would be of no use whatsoever to the AAO cause, except to exact revenge. But she did gain a new ability she was able to use a legendary sword who only she can summon from a pendant that was given to her as a gift by an old man. (the katana/sword pendant) Not only that but since the arrival of her in his life he made sure she was trained in several fields of martial arts as a form of guarantee that she would be able to defend herself if need be. Probably the martial art that she excelled at the most was kendo which came in handy whenever she used her katana pendant.
Whenever someone most likely a paparazzi managed to enter the house and spot the girl she'd immediately stop breathing and moving and pretend to be a life size doll. Reo wondered if this was some sort of game she was playing. He was surprise at her lung capacity she'd go on for at least seven minutes without breathing and in one breath she'd be able to go on for another seven minutes.
The most striking characteristic about the child was her obedience. She'd do anything and absolutely anything he commanded. Reo truly believed she'd follow her to the ends of the earth if he'd ask her to. If she didn't eat, breathe, sleep etc. Reo truly would've believed she was just a life size marionette. But aside from those facts he knew it wasn't so….
But there were days that the child would often upset him. Days like when she catches a cricket, a spider or even a butterfly she'd pull its legs along with its other extremities piece by piece. One particular day was when he accidentally threw a baseball at the child's most precious aquarium breaking the bowl into pieces and making the goldfish flap around the floor as he apologized to the little girl he was shocked when she stepped on it. Another incident was during winter when he bought her a puppy as a Christmas present he allowed her to play outside his house. His estate was vast and it included a small pond for her to skate on the puppy being a puppy obviously followed its master and fell threw the ice. Reo observed the incident and was distressed when the child didn't move an inch. She just watched it struggle through the cold water in the end he stepped in and save the puppy from drowning.
For most people they would think the brunette hair auburn eyes little girl was evil incarnate but he knew better although she lacked compassion, sympathy, empathy and pity in others but she more then once showed it to him.
For whenever Reo was distressed form a problem concerning AAO or just a problem in general she was the first to be by his side. He'd often sit in the sofa and she'd often place her head on his lap which he would proceed to stroke her hair. For some reason this action often calmed him and cleared his thoughts. At first he thought she acted like a cat or dog or just a plain or weird pet but whenever she looked up at him and exchange gazes he knew she was more than that… She was his daughter….
For the five years that the girl stayed by Reo's side she more than once showed her loyalty to him by taking bullets for him, by risking her life to save his. Even though this act of devotion saved his life more than once he'd often end up scolding the girl for after all she was more than a bullet proof vest or a shield she was his daughter and every time she'd get shot or needed a doctor he'd worry nonstop to the point he thinks his having a heart attack. It was a good thing he had a doctor on hand 24/7 since it was going to be difficult to bring the child to a hospital in fear of revealing her identity but still he often felt guilty by being unable to bring her to hospital although his doctor was a genius and all he wanted only the best of the best when it came to his kid but the best of the best like hospital equipment was far out of his sight so he did the best he could and made a mini hospital in his house. So whenever things such as these would happen he knew she had a fighting chance to recover from her injury.
But probably the best thing about his daughter was companionship. He never knew how lonely his life truly was until Mika came into his life. He named her Kurasa Mikaela. The surname Kurasa if rearranged would spell Sakura. Reo felt that she should retain some part of her in her past life even if it is just a fraction as a form of reminder of who she truly is. As he scanned through the pages of a baby name book the name Mikaela struck him which meant in Hebrew "Who is like God?" He thought she was definitely powerful and the name amused him so he chose it as her name but most of the time he'd call her by her nickname which is Mika. (by the way the first four letters of Mikan's name is Mika. That is actually the reason why I named Mika Mikaela. I think I introduced her by that name in chapter 6. and for those of you who do not know Mikan's last name its Sakura)
But now he wondered about the simple fact of her daughter's existence which was now being threatened. Who was that child? Who is this child? Who is Kurasa Mikaela? Who is Azumi Chibikan but more importantly Who is Sakura Mikan or rather what is Sakura Mikan?
As much as he contemplated, as much as he thought and assessed the situation he couldn't comprehend why there where two Mikans. But who is the real Mikan? Reo raised Mika since childhood so wouldn't that be the proof of existence than again he was the one who raised her from childhood and he knew… he knew that Mika bares no resemblance to Mikan attitude wise. But than again who is Chibikan? If she really is the real Mikan where the hell has that girl been in the past five years and why in the seven hell did she not age?
Part III-MIKA-
Mika lacked emotion Reo knew she was a person. Probably the most significant testament to this was an event in their lives where during their vacation a year ago they got lost and met an old man who seemed sick and dying. He was delirious from a high fever and kept calling Mika his granddaughter. Reo wanted to leave the old man alone not because of lack of compassion but because of the fact whatever his disease was Mika might catch it He was just merely looking out for Mika but to his surprise Mika slightly tugged Reo's jacket sleeve. Although it was subtle it was the first and last time Mika defied him. Reo being Reo wanted to see where this was going so he allowed the old man their company. They stayed in a make shift shack obviously Reo was unaccustomed to the shabby accommodation seeing as he only stayed in the best of the best hotel in the best of the best suites. The old man exclaimed that he sold most of his property to pay for the search of his missing granddaughter and whatever earthly possessions he had left such as photo albums, personal belongings etc. which had no commercial value was lost in the flames during a village fire.
Reo knew the old man had not long to live. It was evident from the amount of blood he was coughing up. The man had no family left except for his missing granddaughter who he lost five years ago. It was apparent though that even though the old man knew his days where closing to an end he still seemed to be filled with joy for he found his granddaughter in the form of Mika.
Reo himself was surprised at Mika's sudden change in character although she still maintained her stoic expression she played nurse maid to the old man in his remaining days. She'd chop wood for the fire, cook soup, change the blankets of the old man when he's sweat would drench it. She did all these without being asked which was like I said uncharacteristic of her since she acted like a puppet for oh so long.
Reo couldn't help but feel a little jealous at the attention Mika showered the old man for after all who was he but a stranger to them. The thought crossed his mind to just drag Mika away but his conscience would probably not allow him to sleep at night knowing he abandoned a dying man.
In the final moments of the old man he gave Mika a small token of his appreciation. A necklace meant for his granddaughter.It had a small sword as a pendant made with gold and had characters written on the edges "life" meaning the soul of warrior. As Mika accepted the gift and the man took his final breath. Mika shed a single tear which fell through her pale cheek. This was the first and last time Kurasa Mikaela showed any emotion in front of him. Since that day Mika never removed that necklace from her neck…
Author's note: MUST READ
Yup Reo - this is the guy that usually accompanies Mika in the previous chapters during the dark room scenes. Reo Ojiisan hahaha
Wait a minute hold up so who is the real bakemono I'm confused not hahahaha stay tune for the next chapters
Dammit! I wanna know what happened to Chibikan Did you kill her hehehe not well you have to wait for the next chapter…
Oh by the way like I said on the 9th chapter do you want Chibikan to die? Well I just realized something that was a stupid suggestion for my part although I kinda like Mika more (since she's a bug killing, gold fish stepping and puppy dog killer insert evil laugh. The story is about Chibikan a little Mikan and if I kill her that'll end it I'm not saying I'm not gonna kill her or I will kill her but I let you decide please answer my poll or answer it in the reviews but preferably on the poll who shall I kill on the ending.
Kill Chibikan Little Mikan annoys me
Kill Mika she scares me
Kill them both! It makes a better story
Kill Reo after all he is the major antagonist. I think?
I leave it in the hands of the author kill a random character like Narumi, Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru or any other character of Gakuen Allice
Sorry for the long chappie… anyway I'll return the story back to Chibikan in the next chapter for after all this is her story and by the way on the next chapter I'll give you a glimpse on why there is a bakemono.
Oh by the way the old man is Mikan's Ojiisan I think It was in the fifth chapter I said that the person who took care of him was a young couple I told you I give out clues for every chapter. So the real reason I make Mika call Reo Ojiisan is not to annoy him but actually as a term of endearment.
By the way just a reminder please vote on the polls for the ending… You can find the poll on my account just click on the author jaja d
If you want the next chapter you gotta review : )
