Living As Each Other

By: Yonoko Ishizari

Summary: They heard something about a certain legend, but didn't realize that it was all true.

Something happens unexpectedly, that will shock all of them. Just wait and see…

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice or any of its crazy characters. I just own the plot.

Mikan: You're mean, Yonoko! I'm not crazy!

Natsume: You are crazy, little girl, but I'm certainly not! Where's that authoress? I'm going to burn her into ashes!

Yonoko: (sweatdropped) I'm only getting some water, hotshot…Oh no! He found out where I am!

Natsume: So there you are!

Yonoko: (runs to Hotaru really fast) Taru, help me!

Hotaru: What is it now, Yoko?

Mikan: Hey, you! Don't get too close to MY Hotaru! And what is that nickname thingy? It's awful… (sobs) I want one too!

Natsume: Hey! Are you forgetting about me?

○○○○○☺☺☺

Yonoko: Is that YOU, Natsume? (laughs) Wanting a cute nickname? (laughs)

Mikan: (laughs with her) You're so funny, Natsume. I think you watched too much Barney lately (laughs out loud).

Natsume: What did you say? I DID just say that the authoress is forgetting about me BURNING HER!

Yonoko: Stop it, Su-ne! That's your nickname now, Sune. Isn't it kawaii? (winks)

Mikan: Sugoi! That's a cute nickname for you, Natsume! What's mine, Yoko?

Natsume: "…"

Yonoko: I think that I'm going to call you…Kian!

Mikan: It's a nice name. Thank you!

Yonoko: (shakes Mikan's hand) You're welcome and nice doing business with you.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

Yoko, Kian, & Sune (DON'T CALL ME SUNE!): Ouch! What was that for, Hotaru?

Hotaru: For being so noisy… (blank expression)

Ruka: (comes into the scene) Where's my rabbit?

Ruka's Rabbit: (faces the camera) 'Let's begin with chapter one!'

Ruka: Ahm…This is kind of creepy…

Yuu: (sweatdropped) Enjoy reading chapter one!

Chapter 1: The Legend of Two Lovers

A poem about love…

Love, an essential emotion to one's own heart

Felt by those who don't want to part

Like a flower blooming at springtime

A unique fragrance that two lovers can cherish

for all time…

Two people sharing one feeling

Two minds, but only one heart

Treasure it forever by all knowing

Until your very last breathe…

By Authoress

At the classroom, the same usual atmosphere…A certain brunette came running towards her so-called "best friend." And it seems that she's late yet again…

"Ohayou, Hotaru!" said Mikan while trying to hug Hotaru with her usual cheerful self.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

That sound coming from Hotaru's invention is not a surprise anymore in their class. It's a pretty normal day…or so they think…

"Ohayou, Ruka! Ohayou, Natsume!" greeted Mikan as her two famous classmates stepped in the room.

"Ohayou, Mikan," said Ruka blushing and smiling gently while patting his ever-so-loyal rabbit.

All the same, Natsume acted like the brunette wasn't there for yet another time.

"Natsume, you should be nice…" Yuu said suddenly.

"Stop it! I don't want to hear it! If you don't want my attitude then leave, but if you don't want to leave, then just learn to live with it!" Natsume said angrily.

"Don't fight, you two! This is my entire fault. From now on, I will not be too nice to you, Natsume," said Mikan while tears started to form at the corner of her eyes.

'You should not cry because of me' Natsume thought.

"Little girl, don't cry…I don't want anybody to see that someone's hurt because of me," whispered Natsume while handing his handkerchief to her. But then again said with a loud voice,"Shut up, polka dots! It annoys me a lot!"

'I don't know much about Natsume, but I think that he has a warm heart deep inside of him. Oh! What am I thinking? I don't know what to think anymore!' thought Mikan.

Kokoroyomi just laughed at the corner of the room. Just then…

"Ohayou, class! By the way, what's this commotion all about?" Narumi-sensei appeared out of nowhere.

"The usual…,"Sumire replied.

"Oh, I see. (winks at Mikan and looks at Natsume) Today for our lesson, I will relate to you the story or should I say the Legend of Two Lovers," Narumi-sensei gladly said.

"How boring…,"the class replied.

"It's a beautiful story with romance, action, and adventure. So I guess no one will be very bored," Narumi-sensei answered.

"Quiz afterwards," he added.

The class groaned.

"Listen carefully…This legend is said to occur or have occurred in the Alice Academy. Once long ago, two Alices which are by the way, enemies at first, became lovers. They don't show their affection with each other in public, but their friends know the whole truth. They sometimes shout to each other, have NOT NORMAL fights, hurt each other's feelings, but all the same, each one loves to do it because of love. Isn't it weird?" Narumi-sensei related.

"One faithful day, particularly the Last Dance, the couple decided to sit at a certain tree. They really want some time of privacy. By the way, is it ok to mention that I totally like the girl's outfit? I could describe it to you. It's a simple, yet elegant, draped blue dress with beadwork detail, and she matched it with two yellow-gold, diamond and semi-precious blue stone earrings, a diamond and sapphire watch, a sapphire filigree bangle, and with totally matching blue-colored wedge sandals. Back to the story, this couple loved each other so much that they decided to make a future couple happy. Suddenly, the boy's best friend came and said that he wants to duel with him for the girl. Unfortunately, the boy decided not to fight his best friend so after a while, he have been defeated by his own best friend. His best friend realized what he had done and left guiltily. The poor guy is left behind and is being washed by his own blood! Before he died, he and the girl managed to came up with something precious. If you want to know, the boy's Alice is making other's dreams come true, but his life span decreases in the process, same is true with the girl, and her Alice allows her to make beautiful trinkets with magical powers. She overused her Alice that time that she died with the one that she loves so much hand in hand. Isn't it a tragic story?" Narumi-sensei said.

"I think that there's more to that story, and besides, it's a legend isn't it?" Sumire said.

"Very observant, Sumire," Narumi-sensei replied.

"According to the legend, if a couple stumbles upon that certain tree…," Narumi-sensei added.

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

"Your quiz will be tomorrow, class. The substitute teacher will be the one teaching you from tomorrow onwards until I came back, so behave. Have a wonderful break," Narumi-sensei left as fast as he could after he said that.

At breaktime…

"Hotaru, what do you think will happen to the couple after they stumble into that tree?" Mikan asked curiously.

"Research about it yourself, Mikan. I'm busy with my invention," Hotaru said coldly.

"What is that invention of yours anyway?" Mikan asked again.

"Invention No. 0050, the newly improved Moron "Portable and Mini" Gun. It's small, but definitely has a large impact on whoever was blasted by it. It has new features too," Hotaru explained.

"I can't wait to test it on somebody," Hotaru said, then looks evilly at Mikan.

"Uhm…yeah. I'm going to go now, see you around!" Mikan said hurriedly then left Hotaru. She runs so fast that she bumps into somebody.

Yonoko: Let's end this chapter now. Everyone did a good job, very excellent acting. And Mr. Naru, come over here please. (whispers something)

Mr. Narumi: That's a very good plan, if I must say.

Kokoroyomi: I know what you're thinking, guys. (looks at them suspiciously)

Yonoko: Please, Koko don't tell. Don't do it. It should be a surprise to everyone.

Kokoroyomi: What if I tell it to everyone?

Yonoko: See, Sune over there? (points at Natsume's direction) I'll create a VERY, VERY violent scene between you two. Do you want that?

Kokoroyomi: (sweatdropped) My lips are officially sealed. It will be our little secret.

Yonoko: (laughs evilly)

Kokoroyomi, & Mr. Narumi: (sweatdropped) She's so scary sometimes…

Natsume: What are you talking about over there?

Yonoko: It's nothing, Sune.

Natsume: I said don't call me Sune! What if the readers got the hang of it calling me 'THAT' huh?

Yonoko: You think? You really don't have the slightest idea, do you?

Natsume: I'm going to burn YOU!

Yonoko: That is…if you can penetrate in Kian's nullifying Alice. Right, Kian?

Mikan: Right!

Natsume: One of these days…I'll get you…

Yuu: (sweatdropped) Ahm…Reviews please, readers out there…It's the first time the authoress wrote a fanfiction about Gakuen Alice, so she pleads that you shouldn't be too hard on her, but she's open for your suggestions and opinions so keep them coming…See you on the next chapter…Hopefully, something is going to happen next chapter…The authoress hopes that you enjoyed reading…Seriously, Yoko I'm not your maid…Next time, you should be the one doing this…

Yonoko in the background: A CUTE person like me should only write the script and you all do the rest.

Yuu: You ARE crazy.

Yonoko: What did you say?

Yuu: Nothing. Signing off, people…
