Author Lady: Hey everyone! Welcome back to…
Tsubasa: Gakuen Alice: LAST RESORT! In the last chapter, it was revealed that Natsume is a total asshole…
Natsume: Look you! I'm entitled to say and feel however the hell-
Author Lady: Mhm! Total dirt bag!
Natsume: I hate you guys.
Author Lady: Anyway! Last chapter was ended on such a heavy note to keep this opening dragging on, don'tcha think so Sonomi?
Sonomi: I think I hate you.
Author Lady: …Geeze, talk about sour. Anyway! Hit it Natsu!
Natsume: DISCLAIMER: This jerk of an author doesn't own Gakuen Alice. If she did…I'd end up more of a jerk off than my original interpretation.
Sonomi: …Um…he admitted he's a jerk.
Author Lady: Good. Looks like you're off the stage of denial.
Natsume: Burn in hell.
Tsubasa: Now everyone, sit back, relax and enjoy!
Author Lady: Looks like I got the time line a little screwed up for the festival so uh… *cough* I ended up making the awards and dance on the same day. M'bad. Also, it was mentioned on the two sites I posted this on that it should be a Natsu/OC story so that's what it shall become- with a twist. *grins* I can never cut anyone slack. It's in my nature, hahaha.
Natsume: Evil bastard.

Chapter 10: Just a Kiss
;:Natsume's P.O.V.:;
I looked at Sonomi in complete disbelief. There she was, crying… and what's more- she just made Ruka and Mikan kiss. Her onslaught of tears continued as she scowled at me. "It's… just a kiss." after uttering that lowly, she broke out into a run.
Ruka and Mikan gave me a funny look. Considering that the eraser came from my direction, they probably thought that I was the one who made them make face. I sucked my teeth and shook my head. No way I had done that. Ruka should have figured. I left the kid I was stuck to prior with a middle school-er and dashed away. That absolute idiot ran off without anyone watching her. She was also bawling so she'd definitely attract attention. But what the hell for? I just spoke my own damned mind, not saying anything directed to her- nor was it hurtful… Unless…
I felt a pang of guilt. But why the hell would I? I had plenty of girls run away from me crying for an assortment of reasons. Either I burned them, called them ugly or cow, or rejected them. I did none of the following, and that definitely could not be called rejection! I hadn't even finished my statement, nor could that brat like me. She calls me a pile of idiotic conflicting emotions. I mean, really. I snapped out of it when I heard footsteps drawing closer. It sound like someone running. Score… I turned the corner of the corridor and saw her long black pigtails swaying. Without a word, I picked up my pace and grabbed her wrist, pulling slightly for her to stop. She turned around and her eyes met mine. I jumped back when I saw how they were already red and puffy from the tears. "What do you want from me Hyuuga-San?"
"Hyuuga? Cut the crap lace, what the hell's wrong?" I demanded, still holding onto her wrist.
I saw her shake her head then bite her lip in thought. "None of your concern. And the hell should I learn your name if you can't even learn mine?"
I felt something turn at the pit of my stomach. That statement annoyed me more than it normally would have. I spun Sonomi around and seized her shoulders, pushing her against the wall. She tried to push me away so I grabbed onto her wrists and held them over her head so she wouldn't jerk around. "Sonomi. Happy? Sonomi. Sonomi. Sonomi. Sonomi. SONOMI!!" I breathed in sharply to intake some air. "Now tell me Sonomi… what the hell is wrong?!"
I hadn't predicted this. Sonomi cried harder, her knees shaking, bumping into one another. "Don't… Don't jerk me around Natsume! Just… don't! You don't have any idea!!"
"Then TELL ME!" I yelled, exasperated at this situation. It was ridiculous. I'm trying to fix it, but she's not letting up on how I can do that.
"…Please…" Sonomi stopped looking at me, hanging her head low. "Please… let me go…" She managed to whisper with much strain.
I complied, hoping she'd answer afterwards. "Now will you talk?"
"…No…I'm sorry…" With that, Sonomi twisted over me and quickly dashed away, obviously with the help of her Alice.
I looked at the direction she took off in before stomping a foot in aggravation. "Shit!" I slowly walked back to where Naru, Ruka, Mikan and the others were. I silently sauntered over to them. They were still blushing and looking at each other from the corners of their eyes. I rolled my own crimson orbs and scoffed. They turned around shocked, then scrutinized the clearly empty space next to me.
"Where's Sonomi-Chan?" Mikan questioned, tilting her head, her hair bouncing along with her movement. Everyone was still in costume.
I sighed and looked away. "Don't know." As the final syllable escaped my lips, I felt cold steel pressed on my left cheek.
"What do you mean you don't know?" That vicious red headed new girl had a gun pointed at my head. Great. "What the hell do you know anyway? Tell me Hyuuga, what the hell did you do?"
"Choose to believe me or not but I don't know." I pushed the gun off my face as I started walking away. I ran a hand through my hair, removing my long bangs from my eyes. This is just fantastic.
…
;:Tsubasa's P.O.V.:;
"Tsubasa-Sempai…" I heard Sonomi's voice call out to me weakly. Maybe she was tired from that performance they squeezed her into. With one line, I doubted it.
I turned to face her, grin plastered on my face. "What's up, my cute little Kouhai?" My face immediately dropped when I saw her. She was still in her costume, eyes red and puffy and her lips quivering. "…What did Natsume do to you?" I asked instinctively. That boy always did something to bother Mikan and Sonomi.
Sonomi shook her head vehemently. "It's not his fault… What he said… it hurts, but has nothing to do with me… I.. I just…"
I wrapped her into a hug. "So, nothing rude? Absolutely nothing condescending?" She shook her head no. I let out a soft sigh and pat her back. "Then don't let it hurt you. Just try not to be mad at him if there's no reason to be, 'kay kiddo?" I could feel Sonomi nod into my chest. I slightly smiled and looked into the crowd. There was Natsume standing a ways away, looking like a lost child. He didn't eye me with murderous intent. He looked… guilty? I made a mental note to check up with him as an idea popped into my head. "Hey So-So. You look tired, so let me drop you off at Misaki's room for now, so you can get some sleep, alright? I'll pick you up tomorrow morning to bring you to the assembly before the dance, alright?"
I have to say, once I mentioned the word 'dance', Sonomi looked about ready to hurl. "…O-okay sempai." She then looked away, seeming absolutely depressed.
I chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, I'll be sure to dance with you!"
She looked just a little brighter when I offered.
…
"Hyuuga." I stalked up to the cherry blossom tree where Natsume sat. He was staring into the sky until he finally turned to look at me.
"What do you want, Shadow?" Natsume questioned, eyeing me as I leaned on the tree.
"What did you tell Sonomi?" I asked, straight to the point. I had a good guess, but if I could get him to say, it'd be easier.
"…" Natsume looked as if he were thinking before he turned his head away from me, icily responding, "None of your business."
I let out a heavy sigh. Stubborn brat. "I'm going to be blunt with you Hyuuga. Whatever you said, and I know it wasn't bad or anything… but at least keep in mind that you should be delicate when it's someone that has feelings for you."
Natsume slowly looked up at me, seeing if there was any dubious trace on my face. "Stop playing, idiot Shadow."
I face palmed. "Now why the hell would I lie?!" I scratched the back of my head as I observed the dimwit before me. "Look, brat… that flower she gave you before…do you know what it means?" The little idiot shook his head 'no'. I slapped my forehead with my palm once again. "Hyuuga…that flower meant fascination. I really, REALLY do think that she might like you. But that's my two cents. And other obvious indications."
Natsume remained quiet for a while, looking out to the distance. After sometime, he finally faced me. "Don't think of this as a favor… just cheering up… your favorite Kouhai. I need you to do something, and I don't want to owe you."
That Hyuuga…such a damn brat…
…
;:Sonomi's P.O.V.:;
I stretched as I rose my body up, feeling many satisfying snaps. I sucked in a large amount of air and exhaled deeply. I grinned as I looked around, then immediately frowned when I noticed Misaki-Sempai. Yesterday replayed in my head again.
Misaki turned around and offered me a smile. "Get ready now Sonomi-Chan, 'Bas-Kun is going to be picking you up any minute!"
With that, a smile played it's way on my face and I leaped from the bed, grabbing the change Tsubasa took me to pick up yesterday and going into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and wrapped myself in a towel, needing ask Misaki if she had a brush. I opened the door, opening my mouth to question her, but stopped dead in my tracks. Tsubasa was already in the room. He gave me a grin and I could only return it with a lopsided smile before closing the door as quickly as possible, sliding down it. My face was crimson. I shook it off and quickly threw on my clothes, brushing my hair with my fingers instead. Cursed long hair.
The three of us walked towards the area where the assembly was to take place. Students had to separate by Ability classes, so I had to be with them, so thankfully I didn't have to go in any other direction. Tsubasa held my hand as we walked, a grin totally overtaking my face. Mikan was there already, surprisingly. I guess Hotaru made her wake up early or something of that nature.
"Sonomi-Chan!" Mikan ran over to me and gave me a huge hug. I forced a smile and pat the girl's head. "We were all worried about you. You vanished yesterday without a trace!"
I twitched and bit my lip. I looked up at Tsubasa nervously.
"She went to meet up with me. I promised to sneak her into the Middle School dormitory so she could check it out and spend the night at Misaki's." Tsubasa smiled. I squeezed his hand tighter, letting him know I was thankful.
"Aww, and you guys didn't invite me? No fair!" Mikan pouted.
I let out a large grin. "I thought you wanted to spend time with Ruka after smooching…"
"THAT WAS YOU?!" Mikan hollered while I looked away, a sly expression on my face.
"Good going So-So!" Tsubasa lifted a hand for a high five, which I delivered. "Knowing them, it'd take a life time to get that out."
"W-What are you two talking about?!" Mikan continued hollering.
"Deeense…" I muttered loud enough for her to hear, then turned around and saw three prominent looking figures on stage. I blinked, confused. Mikan followed from where I was looking.
"Who are those three?" She questioned, for me and herself.
"Oh right, you were late for opening ceremonies, Mikan. Those are the Headmasters. From Left to right, it's the Elementary Division, then the Junior Division and finally the Senior Division." Tsubasa answered.
Strange… the Elementary Division headmaster was…
"Why is the Elementary Division headmaster a ki--" Mikan took the words out of my mouth- rather loudly at that, but was immediately silenced by Tsubasa, and the rest of the students shushing her.
"You're being too loud… we don't' know much about them, they're in things thick that no one even knows about. We just know that they're sketchy, and that nothing good comes of getting involved with them. Especially the kid. From what we've seen, he's the most suspicious." Tsubasa explained, slowly taking his hand away from Mikan's mouth. He then looked at the both of us. "You two shorties be careful as well, alright."
I nodded as I noticed Mikan observing the kid. I frowned. Something was definitely up with him. My eyes darted around the stage until I noticed Natsume. I snapped my head away and looked at the floor.
"Is there something wrong?" Mikan asked me. Of course she'd notice if I did something that weird.
I shook my head quickly. "Nah, everything's peachy." I gave her a wry smile as she observed my features. It must've obvious that something was really wrong with me. Possibly my head.
"We will now announce the winning class…" I guess I was so off kilter that I hadn't noticed they moved the assembly enough to be in that part already. "The winning class is… the Technical Class! The class representative will pick up the 10 million yen prize and award!" of course I figured with the insanity and innovative inventions the Technical Class came up with, they'd win. "For individual awards- the king for this year , for the usefulness and practical use of his amazing "Semi permanent innovative hair growing laser"- Harry Hageta! For queen, unfortunately cannot be awarded. But for new comer award, it goes to… "Hotaru Imai!! With Pigula + PiguBird and her countless other inventions, she's gained prestige amongst National Media Enterprises for her ambitious productiveness and forward thinking thus earning this award! Incidentally, it also sets the record for the youngest person to win this award!"
"Hotaru is so amazing!!" Mikan cheered, grabbing my hands and jumping.
I sighed and smiled. "Of course. You always believe in her."
"Now…" The MC continued. "Aside from these awards just given, there is a special award given to someone or a group that gains a lot of notice. It isn't handed out every year- but for the first time in many years, a group was found worthy enough for it! This years special award goes to… The Special Ability Class for their addictive "Role Playing Game: Aladdin and the Magic Lamp! Despite their lack of budget and Corporate Sponsorship- they made cleaver use of their unique Alices and received many testimonials in being able to entertain a large amount of people!"
"Awesome! We got the award!" Mikan and I let out a squawk as Tsubasa swung an arm around our necks. "What are you shorties spacing out for! We won! That means people recognize our talent!"
The lot of us went up to accept our award. There was a loud cheer. I turned to Mikan, giving her a large smile. "And this is thanks to you!"
Mikan seemed over-joyed and finally managed to smile brightly instead of look dumb-struck. She was passed off the award and showed it off to Narumi. After some exchanging of words, he handed her a letter. A few of us ran towards her to find out it was a letter from her grand father. A few tears ran down her cheeks as Hotaru pat her on the head. I tackled and forced everyone to share a group hug, giving Ruka a grin again as he blushed.
….
"KYAH! You mean you three don't know?!" Anna squealed to Mikan, Brian and I. We were back in the classroom. Mikan was standing with everyone and Brian and I were both sitting a top a desk. I swear, my ears would start bleeding with the tons of squealing girls.
"I don't believe in ridiculous legends." Brian scoffed.
"What kind of legend is it anyway, that induces squealing fan girls and the inability to walk over to Ruka and the moron over there?" I questioned, pointing to Natsume and Ruka.
"You've been pretty prickly about Natsume lately, Sonomi…" Brian mumbled to.
"Dunno what you're talking about. Same old me." I dismissed, crossing my legs.
"So what is it about this legend?" Mikan questioned.
"They said the person you dance with in your last dance, there's over a 40 percent chance you hook up with them!" Another girl squealed.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to ease the coming head ache. "Dumb. Absolutely dumb."
"So what is going on over there?" Mikan asked, looking in the direction of the idiot and Ruka. I swear, I'm not being bitter.
"Crowds of girls asking them for the last dance…" Sumire muttered at a dangerously low voice.
"Who'd want to ask Nat…idiot for a dance?" I questioned.
"Whoa?! Natsume?! I can understand Ruka, but him?!" Mikan questioned as well, much more shocked.
"Natsume has always had closet fans." Sumire answered simply.
"CURLY~?" Mikan finally noticed Sumire.
"Ugh. What's seriously up with these girls. They're shameless." Sumire asked to no one directly. I started to like this chick. She became easier to get along with. "Those girls were deathly afraid of Natsume-Kun until a little while ago. They said the air changed around him and he seemed much more approachable, so now there's a ridiculous amount of these stupid tramps."
"Amen." I snorted. If it's one thing I hated, it was shameless girls. Sumire gave me a smirk. Something we agreed with, I guess.
"There there was that ridiculous outfit from the play yesterday. A new appeal I guess. Now there's Junior girls trying to steal him away, saying "I want to be your girlfriend" or something of that sort." Sumire let out a scoff. "It's been a nightmare trying to wrangle them.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…" Mikan looked full of disbelief.
"A child like you wouldn't understand Natsume's charm." Sumire simply stated.
Mikan looked towards me to see if I'd agree or disagree with Sumire. I simply shrugged my shoulders and walked away. Every girl was in romance mode except for four of us. Mikan because she's childish. Hotaru because she's indifferent. Brian because she's… a sociopath. And me because… I'm hurting over a stupid thing a stupid boy said. Heart broken. Ew.
"Hey Mikan-Chan! Who are you going to the last dance with? Is it possibly… Ruka-Kun! I mean you two were the prince and Snow White in the play!" Anna, Nonoko and Kokoro all chimed.
"W-wait… it's not like.." Mikan couldn't even finish.
"I mean after all… you two did kiss!" Anna cut Mikan off.
Mikan whipped her head to face me, and I just looked away with a smirk. Kokoro, Kitsuneme and some girl with short hair and a bow surrounded her, wanting answers. "W-wait.. You guys…!!!"
"Who's the girl that played the Prince anyway? Natsume's partner? How dare she be close to both of them! Maybe she's going out with one of them. They've probably set up to dance with her, and that's why they're turning us down… she's not even as cute as people say she is, and she's only a child." Voices kept whispering.
"HEY! WHAT'D I DO TO DESERVE BACK TALK! SET YOUR FANS STRAIGHT! I'D NEVER EVER DANCE WITH NATSUME LET ALONG GO OUT WITH HIM!" Mikan hollered.
Natsume simply scoffed. "That was my line."
"Sure it was. Idiot." I accidentally let that slip out loud. Heads turned to me. Ah shit.
"Oh, it's the other new girl. The one who was the other wild cat… Natsume's other partner. Maybe Ruka is with the nullification girl and Natsume's with this one. That could be why they're both denying. Makes a lot more sense…" The girls began chattering again.
I bit my lip in anger. I emitted a violent gust of wind, nearly knocking everyone one over. People were muttering, asking what that was before I slammed my hands on the desk. "I don't need to hear you gossiping retards. I'm out." I grabbed my back pack and stormed out of the room to go and collect myself. That made things a bit too obvious. Natsume's going to murder me… oh what the hell do I care. Before I had the opportunity to do so, I ran into Narumi. "S-Sorry Sensei…"
"Ah! You know it's time to prepare right? Get going Sonomi-Chan~!" He pat my back and went off to the class room. I could hear Narumi from a distance ask, "What on Earth is with this atmosphere? And why are there papers scattered?"
This was going to be a long night…
….
I walked with Mikan and her group. We were all dressed like angels. Apparently that was the theme. "The legend about the last dance? A lot of people get excited about it every year." Nodacchi said, answering to Mikan, who asked him to teach her about it.
"That's lame. It's like chocolate companies and Valentine's day." Misaki interrupted. I grinned- she could not be more right. "It's like how Tsubasa and I dance the last dance every year and we're not going out. See?"
"Nodachii… that suit does not fit you at all!" Tsubasa called out also walking in toward the conversation. Noddachi looked as if he were sulking and Tsubasa gave him a tap on the back. "It's not that it's bad, you just seem too 'lax for a suit, Noda-Sensei!"
"Misaki-Sempai! You look so cute in your dress! Sexy!!" Mikan called out.
Misaki chuckled. "As do you squirts. So adorable! The Juniors are fairies as you Elementary kids are angels."
"The guys just wear normal suits. That's discrimination." Tsubasa interjected. I chuckled at him.
They described to Mikan how this was a stand up dance event and then took off to eat food. Those two…so strange. Tsubasa promised to come back for our dance later. So very silly! As the lot of us girls were enjoying eating, Nonoko poked Mikan and I on the shoulders. "Look, there's Otonashi with her Junior boyfriend!"
Mikan looked as if she choked on her food with that statement. "Boyfriend?!"
Nonoko nodded. "Mhm! I heard they danced together in the last dance last year, and from there they hit it off and started a relationship!"
I gave a dull stare. "You reaaaally believe in that last dance mumbo-jumbo eh?"
"Well… Miruku was saying that more than fifty percent of alices marry other alices! Since we'll be here until we graduate Senior High, there's a good chance the person we'll fall in love with is someone from here!" Anna added.
Until Senior High… Fall in love with someone from here… I felt sick… dizzy for a moment. I composed myself quickly though.
"Is there someone you like Nonoko?!" Mikan questioned quickly.
"It's a secret!" Nonoko whispered. That is until Misaki-Sensei walked by and Anna and Nonoko both ran off to him. "Misaki-SENSEII!!!!" Oh… the obvious adoration.
"So.. Much for secret…" Mikan muttered. Then she turned to me with expectation in her eyes. "What about you?"
I bristled and stepped back. "I um… well…" I looked back and saw Tsubasa walking around looking for me.
"There you are Sonomi!" He called over, coming to get me.
SAFE! "I'll tell you later Mikan-Chan!" I waved as he took me to some area around the torch to dance. We danced a Folk Dance. "Thanks Tsubasa… you saved me there…" I muttered while he twirled me around.
"What do you mean?" Tsubasa questioned as he brought me back to start position, picking up the pace since he realized I knew how to dance this.
"Well…" I looked around nervously. Ruka was dancing with Mikan and the two looked happy. It made me a smile a bit to know she was enjoying her self and not letting her shyness get in the way of that. I'm sorry, but I love messing with those two. I looked forward again. "Mikan was going to ask me a question I'd rather not answer yet." we were now face to face.
"I'm sure it couldn't have been that bad." Tsubasa dismissed, smiling.
"It sure was!" I yelled to answer. Someone then bumped into us, nearly making us fall, but Tsubasa managed to keep standing and grabbed onto my back to keep me from plummeting onto the floor. When I opened my eyes to finally figure out I didn't crash on the floor- my turquoise eyes met his sapphire ones. I nearly died, thinking we kissed- but his mouth was close to the little crook of my lips. I could've sighed out of relief, but I made sure not to move.
A student frantically ran up to us to check. "SAFE! Didn't touch!" He yelled.
Tsubasa moved his arm back slightly to allow my face off of his. He stood up straight, then pulled me back up onto my feet. "Sorry about that kiddo. Must've been a scare."
"It's okay. It's all clear." I smiled. We departed as we had to switch partners. Next person I danced with was Kokoro Yome, then after that Yuri Miyazono, Then it was Narumi, then Ruka, then Subaru Imai, and finally I got to…
Natsume. I tried looking him in the face and do what Tsubasa told me to. I tried. Key word being tried. Instead, my stupid self started tearing and ran a way to sit down.
Smooth Sonomi. Real smooth.
I noticed Natsume didn't dance with Mikan either. Maybe he was holding a grudge himself. This was stupid. They were allowing the two individual winners yesterday to pick out their own partners, so after I heard Hotaru call Mikan for the last dance, I left to go out into the trees and field next to the dancing area. I went over to a tree and sat down, hugging my knees. I looked towards the floor for a short while, that is until I saw a pair of feet in front of me. I looked up, then snapped my head to the side. It was Natsume.
Natsume didn't say anything and there was an elongated silence. Finally, after what seemed like forever, I turned to him to see him holding out a small handful of flowers. There was a purple bell like flower as the outside circle of flowers. Purple hyacinth. Then in the inside, there were three fuchsia flowers. Viscaria. I smiled and took the flowers into my hands and put them with the set of flowers tying my elaborately done hair, getting up and patting my backside. "Who taught you this?"
"…I'm not saying, idiot. I learned so I wouldn't have to say anything." Natsume said. Stubborn, as always.
I laughed and took one of his hands. "Accepted. On both accounts. So let's go!" The two of us took to the dance floor and began dancing slowly. "I'm sorry, I bet you'd rather be dancing with Mikan, but you two had a disagreement, and now she's dancing with Hotaru anyway right now, so you're just being kind to me and dancing with me because you saw me cry earlier… and and…"
"Would you shut up already. I'm dancing with you because I feel like it. You think I would if I didn't feel like it?" Natsume answered simply. I shook my head and then stayed quiet. There was no winning. "So. I saw you and the shadow nearly kiss earlier, and you looked like you freaked out." Natsume dully said. I stiffened. "I thought you said a kiss is just a kiss. Something almost equating to nothing."
"That's not what I meant, okay?!" I yelled, flustered. "You see, what I really meant was…"
Before I could finish, I realize that he pressed his lips onto my own. "Nothing, right?" He asked.
My face turned crimson. "T-T-T-T-Tha-That…" I couldn't stop stuttering. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
"I don't see why everyone gets excited over a kiss. It's nothing, right?" Natsume questioned me.
"Y-you…" I looked at him, trying to furrow my brows, but I was freaking out too much.
"Whatever. Just stay in the light. You have no need to follow me into the dark. Stop worrying about my missions." He said as the song ended. He left me there in my stupor.
"J-just a stupid thing… that's nothing…? Don't follow you…? You expect.. Me to do that now?" I brought a finger to my lips, still standing there like an idiot. "Natsume… you ABSOLUTE BUTTHOLE!!" I murmured the beginning of that, but yelled at the end.
"I didn't think I did anything wrong! Sorry Sonomi!" I heard Tsubasa joke.
I turned around, looking at him with wide eyes. "Tsubasa!! Get me out of here!" I threw myself at him, him catching me and picking me up.
"Ah! You called me Tsubasa only! Does that mean you finally think of me as a close friend?" Tsubasa gave me a cheeky grin. "Or is it something else?"
I had a mortified expression. "That's too intimate, isn't it?! I'm sorry Sempai!!!"
"Don't worry about it." Tsubasa chuckled. "Keep calling me by my first name if you want. We're friends, yeah?"
I grinned and nodded. Then wrapped my arms around his neck. "Now pleaaasseee take me back to Brian's dorm room?"
"I'm right here. I'll walk back with you two." Brian appeared out of God knows where, her dress ripped at the bottom.
"Where on Earth were you?!" I questioned her, raising my brows.
"Doing a lil' snooping." Brian then wiggled her eyebrows. "Boy, have I got some questions for you later."
Ah damn. If she's aware of what I think she is, I'm never going to hear the end of it. Especially since that idiot was just testing me!
I touched the two flowers in my hair, smiling. Viscaria, may I have this dance. The other Purple Hyancith: I'm sorry.
Maybe he's not as much as a butt hole as I always think.
…
"From what it seems like, everything is falling into place." Persona bowed as he went into the room.
"Good. Looks like we'll really be able to accomplish what we're intending. Now about that other Alice…"
"I've seen it, Elementary School Principal. She's used it twice within the view of people. I'm sure they can attest to it. We just have to prove she's dangerous." Persona stated.
"That shouldn't be so hard. I'm sure she'll have the right push soon. After I'm sure we've gotten her far along enough, we'll definitely put both alices to good use. The only thing we'll have to look out for is…" The Elementary School Principal looked up at Persona.
"I know. Mikan Sakura. I'm sure it won't be so hard. We'll have this settled." Persona finished as he walked out of the room.
"We'll have that woman's daughter… once we get those two separate from her, it'll be easy…" The Elementary School Principal mused to no one directly as he chuckled darkly…

End Chapter 10: Just A Kiss
Author Lady: Well, that's it for Chapter 10!
Tsubasa: From here on out…
Sonomi: It'll follow the direct story line of Gakuen Alice much less. Events will still tie in with each other, and the main events will still happen, just much differently.
Natsume: If your kind, do please leave words. Good words, bad words, praising the author or dissing her. We don't discriminate.
Author Lady: You really are an idiot, Hyuuga.
Natsume: So says you. Aren't you the one controlling my words?
Author Lady: Yeah, to make you look like a fool.
Natsume: Is that so?
Author Lady: HOLY CRAP MY ROBE'S ON FIRE!
Sonomi and Tsubasa: Anyway, see you all next chapter!
