Thank
you very much for the reviews. They're highly appreciated!! And
I'll try to update as soon as I can! Oh, and Aoyama Thelma's
song, 'Soba ni Irune', will be played here so I suggest you hear
that song. But if you don't want, it's fine! It's just that
song is my favorite for now.
IV – Nobody Can Ever Take Her Place
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice. It belongs to someone else!
It all started with a kiss, then she fell in love with him. Unexplainable, you might say, since our dear Mikan wasn't aware of love. She thought that love only existed in her stories, but everything changed.
She stayed in front of the computer the whole day. Not a single idea came inside her head. She can only think of the kiss Natsume gave her.
"Why can't I think of an idea?!" Mikan exclaimed. "Since that Hyuuga kissed me, all I can ever think about is him! Wh-what did he ate that made me… wait! Calm down, Mikan. Don't fall in love after that incident. Oh, I must be exaggerating."
After shouting her thoughts, the brunette laid her head on the computer table for a moment. Then, an idea hatched from her head and a light bulb appeared. She sat properly, and started writing the story of her life.
"Once upon a time, there was a girl who was one of the greatest writers in the world. Since she doesn't have a job, there was this insensitive man who offered her a job of being a mother to his son. He offered 500 000 Yen a month." Mikan said as her hands typed her words. "This will surely be a bestseller."

"And that was 'Soba ni Irune' revived by Luna Koizumi and Natsume Hyuuga. I'm Mariko and this is Shounen Station!"
"Nice performance, Luna."
"Thanks, Natsume." Luna replied as she walked backstage. Natsume followed Luna after.
"So, you want to have dinner outside?" Natsume asked.
"Sure." Luna answered with a smile.
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
After dinner, Natsume welcomed Luna in his house. She entered and was surprised. It was the biggest house that she has ever been.
"Natsume, your house is so big!" Luna said.
"Yeah…" Natsume replied. "You want to see Youichi?"
"Of course! I love children." Luna answered.
Natsume went to Youichi's room and invited him downstairs. When the two went down, Luna smiled. Natsume went to Luna to introduce his son.
"Youichi, this is Luna Koizumi. The nice lady in the dramas you watch. Luna, Youichi Hyuuga, my son." Natsume said.
"Yoroshiku. Nice meeting you. I'm Youichi."
"I'm Luna Koizumi. Nice to meet you too." Luna bowed her head after.
"Now, let me change first upstairs. Luna, I leave Youichi to you." Natsume said as he went upstairs. Mikan, on the other hand, was eavesdropping on Natsume, Youichi and Luna. She was hiding behind a plant.
"So, you like to sing Ms. Luna?" Youichi asked. Luna just ignored him and read the magazine on the table. He gave Youichi an icy stare. "Ms. Luna, why are you ignoring me?"
"You know what kid, just go play with your toys upstairs, okay?" Luna said.
"You're mean!" Youichi yelled.
"Listen kid; one day your father will be marrying me and you shouldn't bother us! Good thing your mother's dead so I can have Natsume to myself!"
"You're lying! How could my dad marry you? You're an ugly hag! My mother's alive and she's here inside this mansion."
"No, you're lying! Your mother's long dead now!"
"NO, she isn't."
"Let me teach you a lesson!" Luna said as he grabbed Youichi and spanked him. Mikan saw this, and was shocked. She ran to the two of them.
"Hey, you shouldn't hurt Youichi! Try to be nicer, you ugly hag!" Mikan said as Youichi hugged her.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Luna stood up and asked Mikan.
"I'm Youichi's mother! And why are you saying that you'll be marrying Natsume? I'm sorry, but you're too late! He's my husband." Mikan replied, then she thought; "What the heck am I saying?"
"NO way. You're not Maya Hyuuga. Maya's long dead." Luna said.
"Well, you're wrong. You shouldn't spank Youichi. What did he ever do to you?" Mikan asked.
"Stay out of this you baka."
"You're the baka! Hurting a child of six years, isn't it too much?" Mikan exclaimed as she hugged Youichi.
"Mommy, that lady hurt me." Youichi cried on Mikan's shoulder.
"Hush, don't worry Youichi. Mommy's here." Mikan replied as she tried to comfort Youichi.
It turns out that Natsume was going down, and he saw the three. He saw Youichi crying on Mikan's shoulder, and Luna crossing her arms. "What's happening here?"
"Natsume, is this what you teach your son; to call me an ugly hag?" Luna exclaimed as she got her bag and left the mansion. She slammed the door after. Natsume went to the two.
"What happened here? Youichi, who told you to call Luna an ugly hag? And go to your room this instant." Natsume said.
"Natsume who was that girl anyway?" Mikan asked
"Luna Koizumi, J-Pop singer/actress. The next Ayumi Hamasaki." Natsume replied. (Ayumi Hamasaki is a famous J-Pop singer/actress/model who is famous worldwide.)
"I've heard better traits from Ayumi Hamasaki. You call that girl a nice lady? Youichi was just trying to talk to her and she just ignored him." Mikan replied.
"But that doesn't mean he should be calling her an ugly hag. What if you were been called an ugly hag?"
"I've been called a baka, a bizu (ugly lady), and a lot of things and I know how it feels. But that doesn't mean she has the right to spank Youichi. She's not even that close!"
"She was just teaching him a lesson."
"You know what Luna did to Youichi? I saw the whole thing from where I've been hiding. She's ignoring Youichi when he wants to talk, she's insulted him, and she really told Youichi that you'll be marrying her."
"And who said I'll be marrying her?"
"Herself! Youichi knows that I'm here to be his mother and he doesn't want us far away because he thinks I'm Maya!"
"Nobody can ever take Maya's place!" Natsume exclaimed as Mikan widened her eyes. "You're just here to act Maya, but even if it's the end of the world, you'll never take Maya's place."
Mikan walked away, then she said; "I know how it feels to lose someone. After that incident, I swore to myself to never fall in love again! I was like those other girls; those girls who loved to have fun. We snuck out of our homes, and we had fun. But a car accident ruined my life! All of us survived except the one I love!
"Now don't you think that you're the only one who suffered because she died… because everyone in the world is like that. I'm just doing my job… I'm not taking over Maya's place. If you're not content with it, go find another mother to take care of your Youichi." Mikan finished the conversation. She went upstairs to their room as she cried her tears.
Natsume was left frozen. He can only remember Mikan's words; "Now don't you think that you're the only one who suffered because she died… because everyone in the world is like that. I'm just doing my job… I'm not taking over Maya's place."
"Mikan," Natsume whispered
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Mikan was sleeping soundly on Natsume's bed. She was hoping for a wonderful morning without any distress until she found herself in Natsume's embrace. She widened her eyes, blushed, and shouted; "WHAT THE!!"
"Natsume no hentai!" Mikan exclaimed "Let me go you beast!"
"Maya," he whispered
"It's Mikan, Natsume. Now, let me go or you will suffer the consequences!" Mikan exclaimed
"Why did you leave me?"
"I can't leave you because you're cornering me! Now let me go!" Mikan exclaimed as she thought; "Why is my heart beating so fast? I can feel the warm of Natsume, the heat inside. Oh my… why do I feel like I want to stay like this forever?"
"I want to see you when I wake up."
"This guy's awake! Hey, you can quit the act now!" Mikan said. Then, when Natsume opened his eyes, he saw Mikan.
"What the. Baka, why are you here?" Natsume asked Mikan.
"See for yourself." Mikan replied as Natsume looked below; his hands wrapped around Mikan. Then, Mikan stood up and said to Natsume; "Let's forget about last night and start something new today."
"What do you mean?" Natsume asked.
"The past is past. So let's not bother it." Mikan answered.
"Mikan,"
"Yeah,"
"I'm sorry about last night."
"What did I say? I said that the past is past. Let's not bother it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah! So, who wants some breakfast? I'm craving for pancakes today."
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
The three were eating their breakfasts. While they were eating, they have some things in their minds.
"It seems that Natsume can't turn over a new leaf on Maya. He can't accept her death. And he seems interested in Luna because it seems like he's being protective of her much. Maybe I should think of a plan to make him jealous? I heard that he's dating Luna, so I should be finding a guy to make him jealous. That's it! If I can make him jealous, then he'll stop falling for Luna and the two will live happily ever after. But after that incident, I swore to never fall in love with anyone again. But this isn't love… it's just distracting romance. So, I should be starting this… later or tomorrow." Mikan thought. "Mission; to make Natsume jealous! But am I doing this for myself or for them? Quit the act Mikan, you're totally stressed out! No, no, no, you're doing this for Natsume and Youichi's sake. So try to sacrifice!"
"Maya… Mikan… Luna…" Natsume thought
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
