Chapter 11

I do not own Gakuen Alice, but I can wish right?

Recap:

"Why? Why'd you do that?" someone asked.

Thomas got up from the bed he was on. He head was down, and he kept asking, "Why?"

Nayomi looked at him with sad eyes. He got up and pinned her to the wall.

"Why? You could've left me there to die, and you still brought me here. I could've died and al your problems would've been solved. Why you bring me here? Why?" he asked. His voice was sad and quivering.

"Because she isn't a murderer," someone else replied. They turned to see Jinno at the door.

"But you… You didn't kill my parents?" Thomas asked Nayomi. She simply shook her head, and slid down against the wall.

"She wouldn't be able to stand someone's parents being killed Thomas," Jinno told him. Thomas kneeled down so that he could look at Nayomi's face.

"Then… You didn't kill your own parents either?" he asked. She started to cry into her hands.

"No… She didn't. Her dad was drunk when he killed her mom. He was so depressed that he committed suicide the next day," Jinno said quietly. He walked over and patted Naomi on the head.

"Then… I was going to kill her for no reason?" Thomas asked.

"Basically yes. You see, when she made a small opening for your parents to escape that night, a person on the roof of a building took the opportunity to shoot them. They got shot, and before Nayomi could realize there was a man on the roof, they got shot. It was too late when she closed the opening."

Thomas hugged her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm so sorry," he kept saying. Then Nayomi snapped. She stood up.

"OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW! NOBODY KNEW! THAT'S WHY EVERYONE WAS SO SCARED OF ME IN AMERICA! NO DUH SHERLOCK! NO ONE KNEW!" she stormed out the door. Thomas just sat there dazed. Natsume and Ruka looked at each other. They left and followed Nayomi. They found her under the oak tree she's always at. She was crying. When they came towards her, she looked up. Her eyes were red and swollen. She hurled herself at Natsume. She cried more and more.

"Geez, Nayomi. That's why you came back to Japan so soon?" Natsume asked.

Nayomi backed up and leaned on the oak tree.

"What's so special about this oak tree anyway?" Ruka asked.

"This oak tree feels special. I feel the same way towards this tree, as Natsume feels towards his sakura tree," she replied. She stared up at the branches. Her tears stopped flowing, and she smiled. She saw Thomas running towards her. He was the last person she wanted to see right now. She jumped up onto a branch. Then she jumped onto a higher one. She looked down and saw Thomas.

"Get down here Nayomi!" he yelled.

"No," she replied so softly that no one could here her. She laid down on the branch, and she sighed.

I wish the world were as peaceful as it is up here. she thought. She looked down at Thomas. He was unsuccessfully trying to climb the tree. She could see Ruka and Natsume snickering.

"You know I can't climb trees! Come down please!" Thomas yelled again. She used her alice and carved a huge 'No' on the ground. She saw him talking to Natsume and Ruka.

What are they planning? she thought.

The two best friends nodded and ran off. About 10 minutes later they were holding something she couldn't really see. Natsume grabbed some of the stuff and climbed up. When he reached her branch he said, "Thomas says that if you don't want to talk, you could at least write." He handed her a pen and a stack of paper. He went down to the branch lower than her, and sat.

I might as well play along. she thought. Natsume handed her a piece of paper.

It said, "I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me. It was stupid of me to jump to conclusions. I really am sorry."

She sent down a blank piece of paper. Thomas looked at it and frowned. Natsume handed her another piece of paper.

This time it said, "I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that I was hurting you. I'm really sorry."

She decided to write back this time. She wrote, "No duh Sherlock you hurt me. I never wanted to fight you, but you attacked me. I didn't want to die, so I fought back. It's really hard to forgive you for what you did."

She handed it to the boy sitting on the lower branch. A couple seconds later a third note came up.

"I'm sorry if only I asked you, or talked to you. Maybe I would've understood. Maybe I wouldn't have attacked you, and maybe it wouldn't taken a lot less time saying sorry. I'm also really sorry about blaming you about your parents' deaths."

This time she sent him a blank tear-stained paper.

"I'm so sorry. Will you please forgive me?"

She wrote, "Name at least three reasons why I should forgive you."

"Good point, but I'm really sorry. I mean it. It would be easier to talk, but I can't climb trees."

"You're really stupid. Why did you come here? Just to apologize? And if you really wanted to talk to me, you could've made an effort. Instead you decide to use this 'mailing service'. If you were me, and I were you, the last person you would want to see would be me. Stupid. You really are an idiot. Now go away."

With that last letter/note, Thomas walked away. Nayomi made paper airplanes from the extra paper. She concentrated and aimed them all at him. Each plane flew beautifully, and hit him. He stopped and turned around to see who had hit him, but when he turned around another plane hit him square in the nose. He ran away from the attacking planes. Nayomi climbed down the tree.

"Finally he's gone," she sighed.

"Nice way to get him back," Natsume said.

"Why did you idiots agree with that?" she asked them.

"Because we thought that it would help if you guys talked it out," Ruka told her.

BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA

Ruka and Natsume were rubbing the backs of their heads, and saw Hotaru with her baka cannon.

"You idiots! If you were Nayomi the last person you would want to see would be him!" Hotaru yelled.

BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA

Mikan, Koko, and Mochiage followed behind her nodding their heads.

"We're sorry for those two idiots did," Mikan said sadly.

Hotaru was still shooting them.

"Idiots! Dimwits! Twits! You idiot apes! You're no smarter than a monkey!" she yelled.

"Okay, okay we're sorry!" Natsume yelled.

"Don't say that to me say that to Nayomi!" Hotaru yelled louder.

"We're sorry Nayomi. We weren't thinking," Ruka apologized.

"That's one idiot. Now you, Hyuuga!" Hotaru pointed her baka gun right at his head.

"We're sorry Nayomi," Natsume said. He got up and hugged her. "We didn't mean to hurt you."

"It's alright Natsume. You only meant to help," Nayomi said softly. She pat him on the head.

"Sometimes I wonder which one of them is older," Mochiage whispered to Koko.

"Okay, that's two idiots. One more left," said Hotaru.

Everyone looked at her. "One more?"

"Of course. Thomas has to apologize too."

"No! I'm not going to see him!" Nayomi yelled. Natsume was still clinging onto her, like how Youichi clings onto Natsume.

"You can let go now Natsume," she said.

"No, nii-chan," he replied. She started to laugh.

"And I thought you were supposed to be the older brother."

Koko and Mochiage were rolling on the ground laughing.

"He said, 'nii-chan!' THE Natsume Hyuuga said nii-chan!"

In a few seconds, both of their heads were burning.

"We're sorry! Make the fire go out!"

The fire didn't go out. Mikan sighed and put the fire out herself.

"No, I'm serious Natsume let go."

"Hn." And Natsume let go of Nayomi.

"Finally, now that's settled. We are going to head towards Thomas!" Hotaru yelled. As if on cue, Koko and Mochiage grabbed Nayomi's arms and pulled her.

"No! I'm going to kill you! Do not take me near that idiot!" she yelled. She thrashed around so much, Natsume and Ruka had to grab her legs.

"LET ME GO! YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THIS!" she tried using her alice but nothing happened. She glared at Mikan. Mikan was obviously using her Nullification alice. They finally reached the place where Thomas was.

"LET ME GO YOU IDIOTS! LET ME GO!" She was soon tied to a tree.

"YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING DIRTY NOW! SERIOUSLY TYING ME TO A TREE!" She again tried using her alice, but nothing happened. Mikan was still Nullifying everything. About 5 minutes later, Thomas appeared.

"You're late. We had a hard enough time trying to tame this wild beast," Hotaru said.

"I'm NOT wild beast!" Nayomi yelled.

"You sounded like one."

Koko walked over to Thomas and whispered something to him. Thomas glared and hit him in the head. He continued to walk over to Nayomi. When he was about 2 feet away from her, he stopped.

"I'm sorry. I… I… I'm sorry."

"Hn," was all Thomas got in reply. He was closer to her this time.

"I'm sorry forgive me. If only I didn't jump to conclusions. Maybe then, I wouldn't have fought with you."

He got no reply. He stepped even closer. Nayomi's legs could just reach him then. She used the chance and kicked him in the private. He was on the ground, and groaning.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Alright, since you went through all this, even telling Hotaru to do anything to get me here, I'll forgive you."

"How'd you-"

"YOU GUYS ARE ALL IDIOTS! YOU ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT MY MIND-READING ALICE!"

Koko walked over to Thomas again and whispered something. Thomas nodded and punched him in the head. He walked over to Nayomi and whispered, "I didn't get to tell you this because I felt it was wrong of me at the time. I felt like I couldn't feel this way because I thought you killed my parents in the past, but I'm saying this now. Ever since the day you rescued me from Gakuen Alice, and got captured yourself, I loved you." Nayomi was caught by surprise.

"Fine," she said out loud so that everyone could here her, "I will only tell you the answer if Natsume tells Mikan how he feels out loud, so that all of us can here his confession." Natsume was caught off guard. He started to glare at Nayomi who was smiling at him. There was no backing down now. Natsume gulped.

The damn Nayomi! he thought. He walked towards Mikan.

"I… I… I love you Mikan," he said. Koko, Mochiage, and Ruka applauded. Hotaru was smiling, for once. All of a sudden Sumire charged towards Natsume.

"Natsume-kuuuuuun!" she yelled.

"Hey, Thomas mind untying me?" Nayomi asked.

"Of course," he replied. Nayomi was untied, and lucky for her Mikan stopped using her alice. She created a wall of lightning between Natsume and Sumire.

"Oi Seaweed-hair! Leave the two lovebirds alone!" she yelled at her.

"I have a name you know!" she yelled back.

"Whatever you say Seaweed-hair!" Nayomi yelled. She smiled, and walked over to Thomas.

"Now I'll give you my answer," she whispered. She kissed him lightly on the cheek and headed towards Sumire.

Yay the story is done! I sort of rushed it since, I was running out of ideas...

Anyway! I had a lot of fun writing this one, and can't wait to right another! :)

Lots of love,
