ROOM
Mikan woke up to the sound of murmuring voices.
She wanted to call out her grandpa but only managed a small groan
" Mikan! Are you okay? Narumi worriedly asked while cupping Mikans face
"I'm okay Narumi sensei,"
she surveyed the room and saw bear and her Grandpa standing beside her bed
" grandpa, bear, what happened? I was in the bathroom when I drank the pills when all of a sudden I dozed
off" Mikan puzzingly asked
"we were worried about you child, I was washing the dishes when bear urged me to check on you. When we went upstairs. Mr Narumi
right here was already there carrying you on his arms."
"huh? is that so? arigat-" Mikan was cut off when the thought of her naked, drowning in the bathroom and Narumi
pulling her out from the water crossed her mind. Mikan's face was indescribable she felt as if her face is gonna explode
from too much humiliation. Her face was the color of flaming red
(insert confused faces of narumi,bear and grandpa here)
"waaaaaaaa" mikan bawled " nooo, now no ones gonna want me because narumi sensei already saw it all waaaa huhuhu" Mikan protested releasing a loud cry.
" Now now Mikan, didn't you remember? I already obliged Natsume-kun to do the task of marrying you before"
Mikan calmed down by Narumi's mention of the name
" .me" the raven haired boy in her memories, the person whom she always loathed, the person who always gets
on her nerves and the one who ironically also calms them. her memories with him were still bleak, and as she was retrieving them,
images of him teasing her about her undergarments went in, and made her feel a familiar emotion- full anger.
"hmph of course, natsume, if forgetting my memories brought something good to my life, it is forgetting him. By the way, how is he?
In fact! How is everyone? Hotaru! Narumi sensei, I miss hotaru so much" remembering the memories that she had with hotaru
brough tears to mikan's eyes. " I can't believe I was away from Hotaru for 3 years now" Now the memories are flooding back, and Mikan continued to cry. Too many emotions were flooding her, too many questions she wants answered to- she can't even place the first one.
" How's everyone" mikan asked between sobs. "Funny, with all the things that are coming through my brain, I could only manage
to speak that phrase. I guess what I just wanna do after all this is to see them. Yes that's it, that's what I want to do"
" Hush now Mikan chan" Narumi pleaded while wrapping his arms around mikan, " I know that you still haven't adjusted with the
situation, and I know that you have a lot of questions " "That is why" Narumi continued while raising Mikan's chin up
" we will be going to the Academy right now to talk about important things, one of which is about you meeting your friends" narumi
continued giving out a smile to Mikan
"Ne? really?" Mikan beamed "but how about grandpa and bear?"
"we'll be alright here child, just go back to the academy, you're already 3 years late"
ALICE ACADEMY
Mikan and Narumi teleported to go to the academy, they used the alice stone provided by principal Shiki.
They then walked through the familiar corridors of the school, Everything was overwhelming Mikan, the sights, the walls in yellow and white
the carpeted floor, memories from long ago entered her mind. She remembered the awe she felt when she first arrvied at the academy
the feelings she felt whenever she was late in class. She can't help but cry and smile at the same time. It's like being
back to an old home.
"Mikan" Narumi called out "Shiki is waiting for you inside" Narumi then smiled, "goodluck and I'll wait for you here , okay?"
Mikan nodded and knocked on the door
"come in" a voice replied. Mikan turned the knob and closed the door behind her
"Konbanwa" Mikan said while bowing her head
" Miss Sakura, its good to see you" shiki replied giving out a small smile. "Look at how much difference 3 years could make,
last time I remembered you were still a cheeky little girl in pigtails" he continued amused
"eh? haha yeah I do remember being stupid like that" Mikan replied with a genuine laugh
"I do understand that you are still adjusting with what happened, and I would gladly answer your questions. The only thing is that
I still am unable right now. I want you to rest this first, and once you have everything digested, that will be the time that I
will talk to you about everything. I sure hope you would understand" said Shiki in a serious tone
" I do understand Shikisan, but I have one favor to make"
"hmm and what is that"
" I want to see my friends. I miss them, I have this urge to just run away from this room and find them, shout their names
around the academy if I could, that's how much I miss them" mikan demanded
" hm" shiki whimpered letting out a small smile
" Knowing the young Mikan, I was hoping you'd say that, I guess 3 years didn't
change you that much after all." by that shiki again smiled
"I will give you that priviliege but under some circumstances, as you see, you're not the only
one affectd with the incident 3 years ago, your friends had some effect on them as well. So its not that good if we will rush everything.
Tomorrow the middleschool- the school grade of your friends- will have their annual costume party. They will all be there, so it'll be
a good way to see them again. And as i forementioned. you will see them under special circumstances, one- they should not recognize you,second you should't talk to them or have contact to them in any way and third, you will only be able to attend in a limited
amount of time, the more you are exposed, the more your time will lessen, and when your time runs out , you will automatically be
teleported back to your house with your grandpa. I know its difficult, but will only allow you to see them if you promise
to oblige to these important rules."
Shiki expected a protest from Mikan, that's why he was shocked to hear the words that came out from her mouth.
"Anything sensei, anything just to see them again. I promise I will oblige"
"Im glad to hear that from you Mikan, For now you will be teleported back to your house in Nara, and Narumi will fetch you around
5pm, please prepare a costume that'll fit the rules that I just asked you. Okay?"
Mikan gave her final affirmation, and was teleported back to her Grandpa's house.
Shiki was looking outside the dark fields of the academy when a voice rang the room
" I hope we did the right thing" Narumi softly said
" Seeing that her personality's still there makes me believe that we did so".
And that's it! Chapter 2! How's the story so far guys? I hope you would give me some comments. It would really help a lot!
:) anyways, I promise that Mikan will be able to see the gang on the next chapter. What do you think will happen on the party,
will it be a disaster? or will it run smoothly? please stay tuned ! :)))
