Hotaru's Pov
Ugh... I toss to my left for the fifth time. I was at my triple star room, and I've been tossing for the past twenty minutes. I sighed, my lack of sleep tonight will affect my sales tomorrow, I stare outside of my window, the dark sky was filled with gemlike stars, tonight there was no moon, I knew I should really sleep right now, the owls are already awake, I could even hear them hooting right now.
Ever since our trip to the so-called cafe, thats all I think about all day and night. We went back to the cafe without Mikan, we didn't know where she went, and when we arrived to the exact spot where the cafe should've been, there was nothing, It was just a clear landscape. Sometimes I think, how wide is Gakuen Alice?
Questions flooded my head, and I hate it when I didn't know the answer, like why couldn't Permy see the cafe, why was it built in the middle of nowhere, and most importantly why couldn't we see it again when we went back?
I couldn't take it any longer, I turn my bedside lamp on, and pick up a small notebook beside it,
Hello, password please.
"Money makes the world go round."
Access granted
The note book opened by itself to a certain page
Welcome back Hotaru-sama
I stare down at the page, it is my schedule for tomorrow. Let see...
8:30- School/Money making time
12:00-lunch (hit Permy with baka gun)
2:30-Assembly
3:00-
I stop at 3:00 and quickly fill in, Cafe
I don't know why was I so interested into this Cafe, though I got a feeling the cafe is very important, maybe not a s important like money but important. I put down the notebook and turned out the light, I slump down into my bed again. hm...should I blackmail Mikan and Natsume with the picture I got from them or should I sell it, hm...the sales will decide that. I close my eyes, hoping I wake up in the morning refreshed.
Classrooms
Normal Pov
It was a typical day at Class B, as soon as Narumi was going to say something, the D.P system went on:
Mikan Sakura please report to the office immediatly, I repeat Mikan Sakura report to the office immediatly, thank you.
Students started talking among themselves. Mikan sighed and walked out of the classroom.
Mikan went right inside the office, without knocking. "Yes." "Oh Mi-chan!!" The high school princple called. "What is it uncle." "The staff were wondering, what song are you going to sing?" THe high school prinple looked straight at his niece. "A new song." Mikan replied emotionless. "Very well. Return to class." Mikan gave a small nod to the princple and left.
*********************************************
"Mikan, why did they ask you to go to the office?" Anna asked. "Nothing." "Oh." It was lunch time and it was fairly quiet. They just finished talking about the cafe. And there's nothing else to talk about, so they just sit there eating quietly, and if your wondering where's Permy, she already came and earned a shot from the baka gun v.9.0. That is now instores for only 500,000,000Rts (Hotaru blackmailed me into saying that TT_TT)
"Hey, do you know why we're having an assembly?" Anna asked breaking the silence. They all shook their heads. "I heard it was something about a performance." Koko said. "Sugoi!! A performance!!" Nonoko cried! She was very excitable by the smallest event. "Wait! Don't tell me, Mikan are you going to perform!" Nonoko asked, her eyes were shining with happinese. Mikan just slowly nod her head, she didn't want to reply nor talk, she was just deep in thought about her brothers.
She truly miss her brothers, its been EIGHT years!! Her brothers left when she was only six years old, a few months before her parents' death. That time her little brother was only three years old and her older brother was eight years old. Mikan was still deep in thought of her brothers, thinking if she revealed her Alice then she would've be with her brothers already.
Mikan sighed, wishing everything will be peaceful one day, and she'll live with her friends and her brothers in some place that was far away and nobody will ever find them. Yes she pictured it now, the seneary was breath-taking with its orange sunny glow from the blazing hot sun, animals roam around the meadows with the greenist grass. There was also a small pond, the water was crystal clear and blue, not just a ordinary blue, but a shiny diamond like blue, the pond shimmered in the sun light. Wild flowers grew beautiful in harmony together everywhere, many colorful butterflies stop to rest on the flowers. Yes, it was a beautiful place to live.
"Mikan!" Mikan snapped back to reality. Koko was waving his hand up and down in front of her face with Anna by his side calling Mikan's name. "Yeah what is it." She asked calmly. "We've been calling your name for at least 10 times, you've been spacing out alot, whats on your mind?" Anna asked. Mikan tilted her head, with her bangs covering her eyes. "Nothing..." Knowing that the subject was bothering Mikan, Anna didn't say anything.
Mikan's Pov
I was all alone sitting beside the huge water foutain. There was only silence beside the splattering sound of the water. I only had one hour before my performance and I still don't know which song was I going to sing. I try to think of some lyrics and all I got in my head was picture of Natsume. Why can't he for once get out of my head! I need to think of some lyrics, it doesn't need to make sense it just have to be a song. I took out some paper and a pen from my school bag. I started to scribble down some lyrics. I always think of myself a bit high because I have alices to protect myself but this time, I need somebody to save me and I know it...
Performance Time
Normal Pov
Students from all branches (elementary,middle,high school) were steated comfortably in their seats, gossiping. Most students were curious of who was performing, they were all hoping it won't be some boring band or painolist. All the princples was in their seats too, in the front row, waiting to be impress, obviously only the high school princple knows who's performing.
An announcer faked a cough into the mic trying to catch the attention from the students, "Ahem, we will now begin the performance so lets give it up for MIKAN SAKURA!!" The crowd roar with excitment, they were all very grateful it wasn't somebody else.
The whole room went dark, suddenly a spot light appeared on Mikan, she was up on the stage face back to the audience and two other dancers by her side, music started playing, nobody was sure if it was a upbeat song or a downbeat song. Mikan turned to face the audience and started singing:
I'm standing there, alone in the darkness
Nobody's waiting for me, Nobody can ever hear me
I'm so lost
I need a little favor
Can't you tell me where to go
Cuz this thing is eating me up from the inside baby
This feeling...this feeling....
This feels like snowing in July
This feels like a spring breeze blowing on your cheek
This feels like a music's blasting through your head
Before I can say anything
Before I can warn myself
'Bout the danger this might cause
Your always in my heart even though your not in my head.
I'm falling for you! Falling for you (falling for youx3)
My heart is racing here, fighting with my brain
Somebody's looking for me, Somebody is trying to hear me
I'm so tired
I need a little favor
Get me away from this
Cuz the feeling is so unpredictable
This feeling...this feeling...
This feels like water splashing on your face
This feels like flower petals flowing around you
This feels like your soaring in the sky
I want you to catch me through it all, when I falll!!
Before I can say anything
Before I can warn myself
'Bout the danger this might cause
Your always in my heart even though your not in my head.
I'm falling for you! Falling for you (falling for youx3)
I'm falling for you! Falling for you (falling for youx3)
Your always in my heart even though your not in my head.
I'm falling for you!
oohh, oh whoa ooh x2
yeah eeh yeah
I'm falling for YOU!!!
I'm falling for you...
Millions of claps were delivered to Mikan Sakura, even Permy clapped. It was a performance that nobody in Gakuen Alice will forget.
Mikan slightly smiled at the crowd, suddenly two auras were at the back of the room. Mikan quickly sensed it and looked to the direction, nobody was there. Mikan sighed a little and went backstage, she knows her brothers are here, she knows why her brothers are not appearing yet, it wasn't time, time for what, she doesn't know.
Mikan's Pov
I sighed, I was already change into uniform. I sat down and stared right into the mirror, I remeber somebody said about that you can see the future if you concentrate hard and let yourself go. I stared in the mirror concentrated very hard and just let myself get lost in the mirror.
Soon a green hand appeared in the mirror, this did not startled me, but what the green hand was holding did. It was a map, an ancient map, a treasure map, I quickly read the title:
死神之殿
It wasn't Japanese, English, or Spainish but Chinese, I can simply translate it, it says: Temple of Death. The picture of the hand and map slowly fadded away and started showing some other picture, it showed a picture of a small shop, it had black roof, black walls, and black curtains inside, it was that cafe! My heart started racing, thump thump, I knew now, I understand everything. I quickly ran out of the room, I was terrfied. Without looking where I was going, I bump into somebody,
Bump
"Itai.." I heard someone say and quickly opened my eyes, it was Anna, and behind her was Hotaru, Ruka, Yuu, Koko, Nonoko and Natsume. Anna quickly recovered. "Why were you walking so fast Mikan?" "I know." "What do you mean Mikan, you know what?" "Come on we'll go somewhere private to talk." Everyone followed me.
Natsume's Pov
I wonder what Polka needed to tell us, she was so serious, dead serious. Why? Did something happen. We all continue to follow Polka, she led us to a clearing and a bench to sit down. We were all sitted comforably together. Polka standed. And started talking.
Normal pov
Mikan finally explained everything that happened when she was at her dressing room. Some of the gang's mouth drop opened. "So whats your point?" Hotaru said. "My point is, Permy couldn't see the cafe because, she's not part of it, when I mean part of it, I mean she's not part of this situtation." Hotaru raised an eyebrow. "Let me say this simplier, a few days ago on my first week of Gakuen Alice without Hotaru, I feel like somebody was spying on me, and obviously I figure out it was probably the AAO, later on we find the creepy-looking cafe, and just before I saw a green hand holding an treasure map. It makes all perfect sense, we must find that stupid treasure map before the AAO and its inside the cafe. We have to get it!" The gang looked at one another. "Demo, Mikan, how are we going to get the map if we don't even know what is it?" Nonoko asked. Before Mikan can say a single word, somebody or should I say two somebodys came out of the shadows.
One of the figures were short the other one was a taller. Everyone look intensly at the figures. Finally the two figures were completely out of the shadow. The short figure had silver hair and had a unpleasant expression on his face, while the other guy had black hair and a star just below his left eye, and having a quite happy look on his face. Nobody uttered a word till ,"Onii-chan? Youiichi?" Everyone turned their head to the voice, it came from Mikan. "Long time no see, eh Mi-chi?" Mikan slowly nodded and went up to hug the black-haired guy. The silver haired boy pouted, "Mou, Onee-chan forgot about me." Mikan smiled a little and hug the little boy. A minute later and Mikan pulled back.
Anna and Nonoko looked at each other, "Whats going on here!?" They exclaimed together.
Coffee Place
Normal Pov
"Ohhh..." Anna and Nonoko said. Mikan had already explained everything. Mikan face turned serious and face her brothers. "You-chan, Tsubasa nii-chan, tell us about the cafe." Everything became silent like someone put a mute to the whole noisy sccene and everyone froze. They never thought Mikan would bring up the cafe, they never knew that her brothers, Youichi and Tsubasa knew anything about it. And Natsume was quiet, quieter then usual. "You saw the cafe?" Tsubasa asked. They all nodded. "Okay then I will tell you the whole story of the cafe," Everyone looked intensly Tsubasa waiting for him to tell the story:
'Long time ago there lived a powerful witch, she had all the powers in the world and more. Millions of people ask her to help them and she always kindly help them if it doesn't invovle evil. There's always more people who want to rule the world or unverise, most of them are men, so princes and kings ask her hand in marriage and she always rejects them. She was also very beautiful with her long sliky black hair and her piercing amber eyes and her slim body so she was asked in hand of marriage to take over the world or because of her beauty. One day a prince discovered the witch and immediatly fell in love with her. And she too, loved him as well. One the day they were suppose to marry, the prince was murdererd, obviously other men wanted her. This upsetted the witch more than anything else, before she can tell her self to call down, she quickly pulled out her ring which has almost the same level of power and magic as her, she threw the ring somewhere far, far away. And nobody knows where it is. But she did make a map, though she smartly wrote everything in chinese and hid the map in a magical cafe, and filled it with dark magic and traps, she knew that someday the cafe will appear to those who are able to access the ring. Many years past, and the witch died, and nobody ever saw the magical cafe or saw the ring. And so the ring was named. The lost Ring.'
The room was still quiet till Hotaru broke it, "We have to back to the cafe." "Hotaru is right, we have to go." Nonoko said standing up. "It's up to us." Anna added standing with Nonoko. Mikan standed up as well, "We have to get the ring before the AAO discover something that powerful exist." Everyone nodded and one by one they stood up. And they went straight to the same old spot were the cafe stood lifelessly waiting for someone to go and find the map to the ring, The Lost Ring.
Natsume's Pov
We just arrived to the cafe and it was standing right there. For some reason it didn't look as creepy as before it looked different, I guess it knows we're coming. "Remember there's traps inside and dark magic which can easily hurt us if we don't know how to protect ourselves." I heard Polka say. Hn...what have I heard about dark magic from that bastard, you should stay away from anything that look good and focus on what your suppose to be getting. Dark magic will be very bad if you touch one bit of it. And you can die breathing dark magic too long. Damn. This is probably going to be more harder than my missions, I might die. I imagine Persona when he found out I died, he'll be smirking, a sly and evil one. I turned my attention back to the group. We all walk together to the front door, we step at least one meter near it and got blasted back five meters. It was a sonic blast, painful yet not. There was definitly an alice barrier and probably an normal barrier around it as well. We began getting up and trying again.
It has been an hour later and we still hadn't find a way to get in there. We were all exhausted and was lying on the grassy field thinking, forcusing and studying the cafe. Suddenly Polka stood up, "I know what to do." Her voice was confident, calm and determint. "There must be an door to the barrier." Everyone looked at her confusily, I too was a tad confused. She sighed and continued, "Think about it, the witch surronded it with an barrier, and you have to close an barrier, and if there's an closing there's also an opening." I took a glipse of the groups reaction, and was thinking the exact word I had in mind, genius. Tsubasa got up, "That's my little sis." Youchii followed him as well and got up, "Hai! Onee-chan is the best!" Imai looked intensly at her, "So what's your plan?" And then a smirk appeared on Polka's face. She does have something in mind.
"We look, and also don't go looking around the cafe, that will be too obvious, look on top." Polka order us. On top eh, hn never thought about it that way... I looked around me, there was a tree, a huge one tall and almost right beside the cafe, I estimated the length from the cafe to the longest tree branch. Five meters. I could jump that. I swiftly jumped the branches till I reach the tallest branch. I noticed that everyone was watching me and beside me. ?. I look to my left and only to find Polka floating beside me. Floating Alice. She looked at me. "Are we going to search." I smirked at her, I knew she hated why I did that and her reaction is always a, glare. I turned facing straight at the cafe's roof. "Let's go." I said. I quickly realized that there was a chimmy on this cafe. I jump from the branch and landed perfectly on the chimmy. I closed my eyes, waiting for the sonic blast, surprisingly there was nothing. I opened my eyes and Polka was beside me like a snap. "Look at the brick of the chimmy." I looked at the chimmy, appearntly there was no hole like a chimmy would've been and the bricks seems like some kind of puzzles. I took traced over the small printed letters/characters on the side of one brick. I squirted. And saw little characters, chinese, I couldn't translate it that well. Polka seemed to see my discovery of the characters and squirt too. "It says, the complete puzzle is simple to know you just need to figure this riddle: It makes you happy, its giving by friends and family." Boy was that a short riddle. If I ask Imai she'll say money, so asking anybody aren't going to help, I guess its up to Me and Polka.
"Love." Was the word that found its way to crawl out of Polka's mouth. I kept quiet, not sure what to say next. Polka quickly took out one brick than another and arranged them. I looked at it when she slide in the last brick.
爱
Suddenly the character started to glow, an bright green glow, EEK, something moved. and it wasn't up here, it was down on the ground. I jumped down the chimmy with Polka floating down as well. The barrier began to grew visible to the human eye, there wasn't one barrier surronding it, there was five. And one by one it slowly disappeared. When all of them disappeared. The door automatically opened itself. We hestiated and slowly able to say one word, "Wow." Polka was the first one that step closer to the cafe with us following her in a striaght line, then she turned around. "Onii-chan, You-chan, you aren't coming." I turned my head to Tsubasa and Youchii's direction, they weren't following us, they were standing together aside from us. Tsubasa smiled, "I told you Mi-chan, this is you and your friends adventure, not ours." Polka hestiated to turn around. "Go Onee-chan!" Youchii yelled. "Before they close it again!" We were now hurrying to get inside.
And now we were finally inside.....
