I. COULD. HEAR.
Note::: I know that most of you are wondering if Mikan is going to finally meet Natsume and the gang. Well, the answers will be revealed in this chapter! You're also thinking that CrimsonFragments10 is Natsume's group. The answer to that? -eeennngggkkk- Nuh, uh. They're not. Because CF10's members are my new characters and I'll introduce them to you later on. Now, the new questions that you're probably going to wonder on about after reading this chapter might include on what I wrote at the end of this page xD Try guessing ;)
Another Note::: I'M A FILIPINA, PEOPLEZZZ! But I'm not in the Philippines. I'm in US. O.O
Disc: I don't own Gakuen Alice
I need not fear my enemies because the most they can do is attack me. I need not fear my friends because the most they can do is betray me. But I have much to fear from people who are indifferent.

Japan...
"Natsume Hyuuga, Hotaru Imai, Misa Inoue, Aya Kiritani, Luna Koizumi, Takumi Nakajima, Akira Nobuko, Ruka Nogi, Nonoko Ogasawara, Sumire Shouda, Yuu Tobita, Anna Umenomiya, Kitsuneme Yome, and Kokoro Yome. Those students please come to the Headmaster Yukihara right now."
The announcer was heard through all of the classrooms of Gakuen Alice. Koko who was sleeping, jerked his head when he heard his name being called in the PA. Kitsuneme who was playing with his apple, threw it in the air and when he heard his name being summoned, too, he turned around thus, missing his apple that was in the air a while ago and it hit his head. Yuu, Nonoko, and Anna paused when they heard their names as they rose from their seats in the classroom to go to where Koko was. Hotaru who was busy polishing his Baka Gun, and Ruka who was helping her, both stood up to meet the others. Luna and Sumire, the girls that were inspecting their nails and boasting their new designers' bag, also met up with the rest at the entrance of the door. Misa, Aya, Takumi, and Akira were from other classes had also gathered with them. Only Natsume was missing. And they knew that he was going to be late again so they just shrugged it off, except from the other guys who hesitated at first.
"I wonder why are we being called," Koko mused. He just had a haircut this weekend and it was styled in a spiky way now, it was all gelled up. His chocolate brown orbs were now darker and he really looked much mature now, same as his twin Kitsuneme.
"Did we do anything wrong?" Anna asked. Her pink curls had a shade of navy blue at the ends of it and her sea-green eyes looked blue now. She lost her baby fat and she was now a cute young lady who received a few confessions and love letters here and there, just like her twin, Nonoko.
"Didn't you notice that the ones that the headmaster called are the Top 15 of the Gakuen Alice," Hotaru observed. Her raven hair was now shoulder-length and her eyes were much darker shade of purple. She had this sophisticated, yet cold look on her face.
"I wonder if Natsume's going," Ruka murmured. Ruka's blond hair became darker that it almost looked like he had brown shade of hair at the tips of his hair. His cerulean eyes had much more lighter color but his aura didn't change. He always had this 'prince charming aura' around him. Though, anyone could notice that he became more mature than everyone in his group of friends.
Sumire Shouda was the former Queen Bee of the school 2 years ago. She had green hair that was permed at the ends and dark-green eyes. Now, the famous Queen Bee or, rather the famous Drama Queen of the school was Luna Koizumi who had this steel blue orbs and strawberry blonde hair . These two were both obnoxious, rude, and the school's labeled as 'sluts'. They didn't even deny it and they would even take it as a compliment. But Sumire changed these past few years, she was somehow accepted by the others, especially by Koko. But Luna Koizumi was the total b*tch that everyone adored. Not.
Because Luna Koizumi was the reason why friendships was broken, confusions were made, and a heart was broken into pieces.
Nonoko and Yuu, Anna and Kitsuneme, Ruka and Hotaru, these pairs were going strong. They completely complimented each other presence even though they were somehow having arguments sometimes. They just 'clicked'.
A man was waiting outside the Headmaster's room and they recognized him as their teacher in the middle school, Narumi Anjo. He was there, clad in that black and white polo with black slacks and bowed before them when they were in front of him.
"Yukihara-sama is waiting inside," he then opened the door of the oak door for them as the students strangely glanced at the total transform of the teacher that they knew from 3 years ago. The teacher who was always wearing 'girly' clothes and had weird taste in fashion. But he was there in front of them, the total opposite of the man that they knew from few years ago.
They entered the room, no one dared to even mention the recent transform that Narumi had. Not even Koko or Kitsuneme who were the jokers of the class. Joking at a time like this just didn't feel right.
"Ohayou, students," the headmaster greeted them.
"Ohayou, headmaster," the students bowed and greeted the man in expensive suit before them.
There was a creak and they heard the footsteps of none other than Natsume Hyuuga himself.
He was still the same but he was looked really more handsome and mature now. His crimson orbs didn't change, his chiseled jaw, his lean body, his raven hair that was messy as always, and the 'cold' aura that he was giving; he was still Natsume Hyuuga. The young man who could make girls' knees go weak, and make the other guys envy him in all ways. He was almost perfect. Almost.
"Thank you for joining us, Hyuuga-san. Now, I'm going to tell you why are you all here," Kazu started. He stood up and he told the students to sit on the couches. He then began explaining on why did he called them. "Because you are the precious Top 15 of the Gakuen Alice who scored the highest in the recent exams, I had a news that was given to me 2 days ago. It was about students' exchange."
"W-What?" Koko asked. he scratched his head and looked up to Kazu. "So we are the chosen ones?"
The headmaster nodded. "You are all going to be exchange students to the Alice Academy of America."
Hotaru, Ruka, Koko and Kitsuneme made loud gasps. Everyone looked at them and they saw Hotaru and Ruka's whiten faces and dropped-jaws, and the twins' excited faces The headmaster smiled knowingly and Ruka even paled more. We are not actually going to meet her, right? the blond thought.
"Because there are six branches of the Gakuen Alice, we decided to test our students' ability and skills. And no one could say 'no' to this because it would meant an expulsion."
Natsume made a 'tsk' sound while the others huffed in annoyance.
"This school is for the elites and through this method, we want to introduce this school as a place where not only rich students can come across for. For the reason that this school, wants more students who are hard-working and ready to accept more challenges that will help their future," Kazu explained.
"When are we leaving?" Hotaru asked, hiding the sudden excitement and anxiety in her nonchalant voice.
"On Friday. So on Monday you can attend the school immediately," the headmaster replied.
"For how long, headmaster?" Anna politely asked.
"A year."
"A year?" Koko, Kitsuneme, Yuu, and Ruka repeated.
"Yes. That's why you have three days to pack your things, and don't worry about your parents because we already told them yesterday," Kazu said before bowing on them and leading them to the door.
"So...we only have 3 days to get ready?" Nonoko asked hesitantly.
"Yes," the headmaster said.
The gang just nodded and they made their way outside. Hotaru stopped on her tracks with Ruka. The group looked at the them both but some of them just shrugged and continued to walk to their classrooms.
"It's been 3 years since I last saw her. I'm sure that there is a 95% that we are going to meet her again," Hotaru said in a soft voice. Ruka merely nodded, uneasiness slowly building up in his stomach.
I wonder if those 3 years had managed to bring back the old Mikan, Ruka thought.
3 days later...
"-UH10, the famous band that was hidden as a secret group for 3 years had finally came out and made their first appearance! About 700,000 people attended their first EVER concert here in Los Angeles, California! Even though the concert was shown yesterday, the fans are still going crazy for them! Who wouldn't? It's the Top band that everyone is talking about. The band from the famous Dream Star Music School, and the students of the elite school of Alice Academy of New York! And-"
There was a click and it was followed by a loud groan.
"Why did you turn it off?" a deep voice asked, there was no hint of what was his emotions, but he was irritated.
"We are almost in Alice Academy so drop it," an angelic yet hard voice of a female replied.
"There's no use of fighting. You two shut up or I'm gonna throw you out of this limo," a husky voice told them and they immediately shut up.
"We're almost there."
"We have dorms here. The bodyguards of the Academy already dropped our luggage in our rooms," Ruka mentioned.
"Who is our class adviser? And what class are we in?" Anna asked.
They were standing near the gates of the humongous Alice Academy and they could hear chatters of the foreign students. They were still in awe-struck because this school here in America was sure more huger than their school in Japan. No wonder there seemed to be more students coming here. Hotaru and the gang were clad in high school uniform; for females, black blazer with white buttoned-up shirt underneath, red necktie, and black checkered mid-thigh skirt with silver and gold linings; for males, it was the same except that they have black pants.
"We have Mr. Simon Walsh, and we are in class... 3-A," Yuu answered as he scanned their schedule.
"I don't know if my English is getting rusty," Koko grumbled.
"Who cares?" Hotaru retorted as she stepped into the gates. The other fourteen Japanese students followed her and it was not until they were 10 feet away from the gates when they heard the sudden thuds and shakes on the ground like there was a minor earthquake going on.
"Wh-what's happening?" Sumire shrieked.
"OMG! My purse almost dropped on the ground!" Luna followed. She clutched her new Coach purse on her hand as she glared at the horde of students, girls and boys, running to the gates.
Hotaru grabbed a student, resulting her to tumble on the ground as she groaned and panicked. She looked at Hotaru who had this emotionless face and mentally groaned.
"You know, I'm going to be left out!" she screeched. Hotaru resisted the need of pulling her trusty Baka Gun as she just glared at the girl with dangerous glint on her dark purple eyes.
"What the hell is going on?" Hotaru asked in English.
"The UH10 is here so I have to hurry up!" the girl struggled to stand up only to be dragged by Hotaru as they neared the gates with lots of students screaming their lungs out, and holding banners with "UH10" and "UnfathomableHigh10" on it.
"What is... UH10?" Kitsuneme asked to Anna.
"I'll ask. Hey, what is UH10? Who are they?" Anna asked to the girl that Hotaru dragged.
The girl gave a very loud gasp followed by a dropping jaw. She then yelled out in one breath, "YOU DON'T KNOW THE UNFATHOMABLEHIGH10? HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPENED? THEY STARTED DEBUTING THEIR FIRST SONG A YEAR AND HALF AGO ON EXACTLY JUNE 20, 2009 AT 5:18 PM AND EVERYONE WENT INSANE AND OBSESSED WITH THEM, EVEN ME!"
That was epically obvious. But Anna could never say that because she was too sweet for her own good.
"So they are... a band?" Ruka asked.
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Duh!" This girl obviously didn't even carefully study who was in front of her, the Prince Charming of Japan, Ruka Nogi. He was handsome and it was a question that the girl didn't even hesitate to ignore or reply a sarcastic remark on him. The answer? It was because she was currently focusing all of her attention in waiting for her favorite band's arrival.
"This girl is irritating the hell out of me," Hotaru snarled under her breath.
Luna, feeling ignored and left out, gave a sneer and then said haughtily, "I sure that band... can-NUT LI-vel my statusES!"
One word.
Fail.
"Instead of wasting your time trying make yourself more sluttier, you should be listening to the class so your grammar won't suck," Hotaru said with a smirk on her face. It was obvious that she hated Luna to death. She tried to stole her Baka Gun last time and she also tried to flirt with Ruka, her boyfriend. And that Luna did even more outrageous things to other people that Hotaru just couldn't stand being able to breath the same oxygen as her.
The gang laughed out loud and Luna just rolled her eyes on them. In truth, she didn't fully understand what just Hotaru said. So she just focused her stare on the hot Natsume Hyuuga standing next to Ruka.
"Let's go. I'm sure that we're able to see the band next time," Anna said. She was about to turn around when the crowd started screaming their lungs out even more. Their eardrums were literally going to break if they didn't stop. Fortunately, they were given earplugs by Hotaru who had this irritated look on her face because they were being shove in the crowd. Then, they heard someone acting like an emcee on the front.
"The famous UH10 is here! Our dear classmates who are studying in Dream Star Music School finally came back from their first EVER live concert yesterday in Los Angeles!"
The crowd slowly divided into two parts so that the emcee could roll the red carpet down. Talk about over-exaggerating. But nonetheless, they didn't stop shouting as a white limousine suddenly halted in front of them.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"They're here! And even if the other 2 members are not going to be present here, the rest will be coming from that white limo itself!"
A leather, expensive-looking, black shoe showed up when the car door was opened. Then a hand appeared on top of the door and came in a gorgeous guy namely...
"Tsubasa Andou! The famous bass drummer and rapper of the UH10!" the emcee introduced. To say that Luna went nuts was an understatement.
The said young man had dark-blue hair that it was almost black but he had silver streaks. He had azure eyes with nothing but coldness on it. His lips were thinned in line and he had his hands on his pockets. He worn his uniform in messy yet cool way that every girl went gaga over him. He had two thick silver rings hooked on his thumb and it shined under the bright light.
"Eh? Is that really Tsubasa of the DFA?" Koko asked incredulously.
"No way. Where's the grins or smirks, and all that goofy playful Tsubasa?" Kitsuneme asked, feeling a bit queasy.
Tsubasa was followed by a pink-haired young lass named...
"Misaki Harada! The charming young woman who's the famous girlfriend of Tsubasa Andou. She's one of the best pianist and singer in the UH10!"
The lass was the one with shoulder-length pink hair and reddish-pink eyes. She was almost scowling but that didn't stop the crowd, especially the men, to go crazy on her. She was really beautiful and mature looking that they couldn't help but feel envy with her.
The couple linked arms and walked together on the red carpet. They were only glancing and nodding to their fans in the Academy. However, this couple was soon followed by another one. Except this time, they both went out of the car.
"Let's welcome our next favorite couple who was best in duet in the UH10! Craig Owens and Leanne Evans!"
The young man was coldly looking at the guys who was staring at his girlfriend. He had black hair that was stylishly done and dark brown eyes that was almost black. His partner likewise; narrowing her gaze on the girls who was drooling with her boyfriend. But she looked kind amused though. She had blonde hair that was elegantly curled and beautiful emerald green eyes. The couple followed Tsubasa and Misaki, thumping the heels of their shoes on the red carpet as they walked.
"The next one would be our dear Nobara Ibaragi, our best guitarist in the band! She was with our great dancer, Satoshi Hagiwara!"
Another pair of couple strolled on the carpet. There was a silver haired lad who had black eyes and a young lass with blue-hair and gray eyes. The couple were looking rather boringly on the crowd but the students didn't even notice it as they continued to scream their hearts' out. The blue-haired young woman was wearing dark-blue thin gloves with matching 3-inches high heels, and her hair was also coiled at the tips. While the silver-haired lad had his hair in spiky style with a diamond earring on his right ear.
"And the best of the best! RALPH ANDERSON, the UH10 male lead!"
The crowd literally went insane after that announcement but they slowly got silent as they waited anxiously for their most favorite male member of the band. They had their hands clasped together as their eyes grew in size in anxiety. Finally there was a thump that was heard and they almost forgot to breath.
Came out was a young male teenager who had unruly russet hair that was glistening with his maroon and blond streaks. His amber eyes were cold as ice as they narrowed on the mob who almost fainted on the sight of him. This was obviously blowing out of the proportion and he rolled his eyes in irritation. He worn his uniform in messy yet cool way that gave him the bad-ass image; his blazer weren't buttoned up and also the 3 buttons of his white shirt underneath. He had expensive black shoes on and he had slightly tanned skin. He had a piercing on his right earlobe with a solitaire round diamond stud earring which was given by his special someone.
The throng of students were there screaming with their banners up saying "I Love You Ralph!"
"Now, we are going to finally meet the female lead of the UH10 and of course, the one and only person who found this band and decided to create it! The one and only hot, gorgeous living goddess on earth, MIKAN YUKIHARA!"
All of a sudden, the mob grew quiet again but they continued to rose their banners up high in the sky, clamping their mouths from preventing to shout the crap out of them. One thing they knew very well of the female lead of the UH10 was she didn't like any loud unnecessary noise, with the exception of having a concert. Their breaths hitched when finally they saw her.
Clad in the high school uniform of Alice Academy was Mikan Yukihara herself. Bangles on her right and left wrists; five silver necklaces shining under the sun; 3 1/2 inches pointy high-heeled, black, leather boots with chains dangling on it; black skirt with silver and gold linings on it that ended on her mid-thigh; black stockings that reached her knees were hiding her slender, creamy legs; black blazer was opened; 3 buttons of her white shirt underneath were undone; necktie was loose on her neck; loops of earrings hanging on her ears; this was the definition of a hot superstar who could do anything she wanted. And the female lead herself was simply defining it.
She fully stood up in front of the awe-struck and love-struck students' press in front of her. Her brunette hair was tied in a French braid headband, and the rest of her hair was curled into bouncy ringlets. Her hazel orbs were emphasized by the eyeliner under it and the gold eyeshadow on her eyelids as her long, thick eyelashes softly caressed her rosy pink cheeks. Lips were glistening with a sheer strawberry pink moisturizing lip gloss, eyebrows were flawlessly arched, nose was small but in the its perfect angle, and high-cheeked bones; it was the characteristics of a model/celebrity material. And they all belonged to the number one best female singer, Mikan Yukihara.
"It's a shame that she's the girlfriend of our idol, Ralph Anderson," the emcee absentmindedly murmured through the mic that he was holding. Once he realized what he said, he quickly ran away, not wanting to be murdered by the male lead singer himself.
That was when cheering erupted through the whole school. They welcomed the band who toured around the world for a year and half after their first debut in a well-known radio station last May.
"I didn't know that we are going to have a special welcome-back gathering here. And a grande size at that," Mikan said impassively at her boyfriend. Ralph put his arm around Mikan's waist as she leaned in closer to him.
"The game is only starting, Mikan," Ralph stated, with a playful smirk on his lips.
From several yards away from the group, the forgotten exchange students from Japan continued to gape in shock and horror. Hotaru, Ruka, Nonoko, Yuu, Koko, Sumire, Anna, Kitsuneme, and most especially, Natsume, were eyes-widened and jaw-dropped. Luna was frustratingly pulling her hair out because she was being ignored by the majority of the mob who were still cheering around her. What she didn't know was her number one enemy was rising from hell where she fell before, and it was none other than the girl that she caused to be broken-hearted.
"That... I'm dreaming aren't I?" Hotaru said in disbelief. Facade was already cracked from the mere mention of the name of the female lead of the UH10.
"I... I didn't know that she's a singer," Ruka murmured, still not recovering from the shock.
"They're not... They're not the DFA that we knew from 3 years ago... not at all," Koko breathed out, shell-shocked.
"Is that... Is that the girl, Ruka?" Natsume asked, voice quivering. He didn't know why, but when Mikan showed herself from that limo, his stomach did a violent back-flip and he knew that staying here in America would bring him something he was not expecting at all. And he didn't know if he should dread it or expect the unexpected.
"That's her, Natsume. The same girl that you toyed at, and the same girl's heart that you broke," his best friend replied to him.
"This can't be..."
A smirk appeared on Mikan's face as she gave a chaste kiss on Ralph's lips making the fans gasp and cry.
"I can't promise that I would be a good girl in this game. Because I'll make sure they're going to face the new Mikan Yukihara. After what they'd done to the the 'nerdy' Sakura, it's my pleasure to turn the tables now. I'm not going to forgive them for what have they done to the CrimsonFragments10, to Clarisse."
O.O -speechless- I seriously didn't expected that I would write this longgggg! I introduced them again! So now that the old gang in Japan are in America and the UnfathomableHigh10 showed up before them, what will happen now? Especially with Mikan having a little devious, little chess game in her mind! Poor Ruka; he thought that in those 3 years, the old Mikan was finally back. It seems like the opposite happened - _- Ralph and Mikan are finally in relationship! And I bet you're also wondering who's Clarisse. Find out more about them on the next chapter~
