"A Wolf Till The End of my Days"
#Wolf's Black Kokoro#
Hotaru x Ruka Moment in this chapter, and probably in the next one too but no worries Mikan x Natsume moments will come later ^^
Before the gang knew it, Winter came and the tests were over. Also there was the Annual Gakuen Alice Festival the main Event, that was coming closer. So all the extra-classes that have the ability to dance or represent a show were participating while those who couldn't were helping with the preparations.
"Ok listen y'all, it's the A.G.A.F Xmas version so I'll choose only the top dancers and I'll show you a routine that you have to work on it for the Fest " Reo said as he eyed each one of his dancers
"Yo Reo What's A.G.A.F you're talking about?" Mikan asked
"That Tangerine, stands for Annual Gakuen Alice Festival it's an event where all the extra classes prepare something to represent it for the audience that are invited from inside the Gakuen and outside. It's a tradition, once the exams are done the whole school is excused from classes so that they'll focus on their own shows and after it there will be and for this year a winter/ Halloween ball" he explained. Yes he calls her tangerine because her name means tangerine in English, and don't ask why
"That's a lame name man, but the the idea of battling the other activities sounds fun" he nodded agreeing with her and half of the class too
"Ok then I'll announce the ones I picked : the girls all of you. Natsume, Ruka, Tsubasa, Yuu, Kitsu, Koko. As for the others you can stay and watch us and learn a couple of moves or feel free to leave I don't give damn. Ok dancers move to the front" the ones who weren't chosen were kind of disappointed
The chosen dancers did as they were told, but Mikan wasn't all that happy
"Yo Reo what's up with this? why can't they join us too?" Mikan glared.
"Yeah, they have some tricks up their sleeves too Reo" Hotaru sided her.
"Well I'm sorry Tangerine, Hotaru but those are the rules of the higher ups and we have to follow it, if we want to appear on that stage and rock it" Reo shrugged
"But..." Mikan wanted to protest more but Kei stopped her
"Hey M that's fine, we get it and after all you guys are way better than us" Kei said while grinning while the guys agreed with him. As the guys spend their time with D.M and knew them very well they had come to admire their skills and respect them, and it took them a lot of efforts to make Mikan and Hotaru talk with them in a normal way
"Do your best", " Go and turn that stage upside down" , " Yeah go on guys" Mikan gave them her Shaka sing and stuck her tongue out
"Hell yeah!" but then an evil grin appeared on her face and she whispered her plan to Hotaru and Natsume who were beside her
"What do you think of a remix of Sin feat T-pain, Boum ?" he asked and the gang approved of it
"Ok let's get this done people we'll try and work it out in less than a month. The show is next month, get it?" he shouted
"And five, six, seven, eight" he taught them the first part of the routine and the girls picked it up fast, but the guys took them some time. While the others were sitting in a corner taking notice of how the moves were done
"Ok good job people! now I'll leave you to work some more on it and I have to go. There's a meeting in the staff room" he took a towel to dry the sweat on his face. "See ya" and with that he left. Mikan gathered the gang around her and whispered something to them, they smiled and nodded
" Ok everyone listen up. You'll get to do this routine with us whether the big dogs like it or not" Mikan said to Kei and the rest
"So up for a challenge?" she smiled
"What you mean ?" Taki, a comrade of theirs asked
"Baka it means we are going to teach you the steps and when it's time for the show you'll stand on the stage with us and dance. All of us, get it?" Natsume smirked
The guys imitated him and nodded their heads " Hell yeah!" they cheered and along with the help of D.M and the gang learned the routine. And so for the rest of the month they spend it in memorizing the moves then teaching it to the guys afterwards.
After three weeks (They have let's say a two months vacation but they're not allowed to leave the academy even though they can still get together and do their last period activities) they were done with their dance and started planning the outfits which Sumire and Misaki volunteered to design and make them ready for everyone -Sumire's the heir of a clothes line co. so it wasn't hard to make them-
When the clothes were done they were delivered to all the B-dancers' rooms with a label that had the name of the owner of each outfit, Ruka found his but he also found another that said "Hotaru Imai-san".
'Did they make a mistake and delivered it to my room? Well might as well take it to her room'
He walked in the empty and dim dorm hallways with the box in his hand.(each class lives in a special dorm, so that means Ruka and Hotaru and the rest all live in one dorm but in different rooms)
Ruka reached her room and knocked on the door twice, she opened it and was surprised by the sudden visit "Ruka!"
"Yo! for you, " he handed her the box "they probably send it to the wrong room. I found it next to my box" she nodded at him and took the box, their hands touched for a moment and they felt electricity run through them. They fell in silence.
"Would you like to come in?" she asked him, he smiled and nodded
Her room wasn't neet nor was it messy either. There were some books on the couch and on the floor and a guitar with a butterfly design in black resting on a chair. He sat on the couch
"Would you like soda?" she asked
"Yes, please" she went to the mini kitchen, grabbed two bottles, came back and threw him one while she took the other
"I wonder how it looks like" she mused as she opened the box where she found a white jacket, sleeveless red shirt and white baggy cargo and converse shoes with fingerless gloves. Ruka kept staring at her
"Hm...Not bad" she tried the gloves on and checked the pants "and we can move freely in these. Say what did you get ?" but he didn't answer, she poked his shoulder
"Huh, I'm sorry what did you say?" he snapped out of it
"What the hell is wrong with you? you're spacing out" she frowned
"N-nothing just something I had in mind these days" she studied him
"Is something wrong R?" she asked
"No everything's cool, kinishinaide" he smiled, and decided to change the subject "You sure love butterflies don't you?"
"Yeah, I do. When I was a little girl I always dreamed of becoming like them"
"And you succeeded in becoming one "
"Don't say stupid things. Blondy" she blushed a little but recovered quickly. He looked at the guitar and an idea came to his mind
"Anyways I have a favor. Can you teach me how to play the guitar?" he asked
She thought for a while " Sure" his face shone with happiness
"Awesome, then I guess we'll see each other...umm...three times per week?" she raised an elegant brow "Why three?"
"Um..." 'Hurry find an excuse' "Let's say that I seriously suck at it and I want to learn in less than a month. But don't worry I pick up fast" he nudged her shoulder
She sighed "Fine three it is, but seriously Nogi you'll have to pay me" she poked his chest playfully but her face showed no emotions
"As you wish My fair Lady" he said in a mocking gentlemen like tone
"Yuk, you suck at it Ruka" she chuckled and he laughed too, they fell in silence again
"Well...um...I think I should go" he stood up and went to the door
"Um. jaa na"
He turned around, breathed in and walked over to her "Hotaru will you accompany me to the dance?"
She was caught by surprise but she masked it "Really? and why should I?"
"Well I thought that we can go together, as friends only no more no less. " he replied. Ruka felt heat creep up his face
'Just friends huh?' " she sighed "Yeah whatever, now get the hell out of my room" he grinned, and bowed like a butler
"As you wish Hotaru-sama" and he left but then he peeked from the door and said " Good night and see you in our sessions Sensei" she threw a pillow at him and hit him square in the face
"I said get out, Damn it" he chuckled and closed the door. Hotaru sighed and slumped on her black couch
"I'm stupid, Stupid. I let my fucking guard down" she pinched the bridge of her noise but still she smiled softly, and touched the necklace that Ruka gave her "Kedo I don't know why, my heart beats fast and I don't mind it at all"
She looked at a piece of paper that lay innocently on the table, she was writing a song before Ruka came but she lacked of words at the end, she picked it up along with a pen and started writing. She took her guitar and played a couple of tunes then sang
Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
Kiss my lips and maybe you can take me to your world for now
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
Please make it all go away
Am I ever gonna feel myself again?
I hope I will

"Yosh, now it's done" she yawned, stood up lazily and went to shower
Finally the day that all the students in Gakuen Alice were working hard for arrived. The huge theatre hall was beautifully decorated and the Gakuen was ready to welcome their guests, that most of them were parents of the students or were invited from other private Gakuens.
Right now, on stage were the members of the gymnastic with their acrobatic moves and their flexible bodies then after them came the Aikido members, they were doing a representation with Katanas
"Hey, They're good in doing their own stuff" Mikan said as she watched the performances from backstage. Natsume who was beside her nodded
"But we'll do better. So let's kick ass" Natsume high fived with Mikan while the others were re-practicing the routine
"Are the guys ready?" Hotaru asked Aoi who finished talking to Youichi on the phone
"Hai Hotaru-nee, they are sitting in the front row with Youichi and they're pumped up" she chirped
"This will be so cool." Anna beamed with excitement as she hugged Kitsu
"Yup Mikan you always come up with the best plans" Misaki agreed. The brunette nodded with the her Shaka sign.
"Natsume-kun~~" ,"Ruka-kun~~" The barbie dolls went to the two lads and jumped on them
"Hey cutie did you miss me?" Stella asked Ruka, who tried to push her away, in her sugary-coated voice
"No! Let go of me. Or I'll charge you for continuous harassment" she giggled
"Aw sweetie if you want me, just say so. I'm all yours" he finally pushed her away. Hotaru kept looking at them with a weird aura around her, on the outside she might look unfazed but on the inside she was thinking of a way to kill ' thing 2 '
While Luna went to Natsume and was glued to his arm, she tried to force herself on him
"Oi let go of me Barbie" he snarled and pried her hands off. She squealed
"Aw Natsu honey that's so sweet of you. You called me barbie, ne how about this? tonight you can come to my room and I'll let you play with your favorite dolly and undress her like you want" she tried to sound seductive and licked her lips. But Natsume was turned off instead of being turned on
"Fuck off, do I look gay to you? And if I was a psycho that had a thing for barbie dolls I could have married my sister's dolls and got over with it " Mikan burst out laughing along with the gang
Luna and Stella stood beside each other, hands on their hips
"Sakura, you still look ugly as usual" Luna said
"Imai, you'll still look ugly too no matter what you wear" Stella said. Both had smirks on their faces
Mikan and Hotaru let out a huge sigh "Seriously when are you going to give up? and stop annoying the shit out of us?" Mikan asked
"Mikan, didn'cha know that Thing 1 and Thing 2 here have no brain at all" Hotaru's remark made the others laugh including Ruka and Natsume who were laughing their asses out
"Why you..." Luna began but was cut off by her comrades that kep calling for her and Stella
"We'll finish this later" they glared at Mikan and Hotaru, then turned to Natsume and Ruka and winked at them
"Darlings, make sure to watch us we have a surprise for you" they blew kisses and went away. It was the Ballerina's turn
Natsume and Ruka were still unable to move from the horror they experienced
"Ah he's dead" Mikan jocked as she poked Natsume in the ribs. Then she smacked his head, he groaned and glared at her
"Oto he's back to live" he locked her head with his strong arm which caused her hat to fall off and he ruffled her head with his fist
While Hotaru simply used her Baka Gun on Ruka
Then they heard the beat of a familiar song they knew very well
"Hey that's Remember The Name by Fort Minor" Sumire said. They looked at each other and dashed to see the Ballerinas' performance
"What the ? where are the lyrics?" Tsubasa exclaimed. Misaki hit him on his head
"Baka it's the instrumental version, there are no lyrics"
"What the hell happened to the usual Ballet songs like Adiemus? that teach Camelia used to damage our ears with it ?" Nonoko asked
"They became Hitsory?" Kitsu replied
"Enough!" Mikan glared at them " Are you going to coward now or what ?"
"They improvised and it seems that the audience like it but only the adults. Let's get the teens to side us when we shake that stage" Hotaru smirked "It will be our win"
The others smirked at her too and nodded "Plus, " Sumire added "we have something they don't have "
"Eh? and what's that Sumi ?" Koko asked
" Your fan girls especially Natsume and Ruka's" the guys laughed hard while the two lads sulked. Then they heard the announcer call for them
"It's our cue let's go!"
The curtains were closed then they slowly opened and it was all dark. The lights shone on the guys
Play the Remix of Boum by Sin ft T-pain / the routine is from So You Think You can Dance [.com/watch?v=KU2-bJJH1B4&feature=search] *read A/N*
Taliban guns my clips, banana,
And I move units like Hannah Montana,
Yes it's sin,
I ain't grow up with no rappers
17-5 I grew up with them trappers
[Pause]
As the guys carried the girls on their backs, the rest of the break dancers came form the first raw and conquered the stage they took their hoods off and danced with the gang
She licked off, her lip gloss,
Her hips tossed,her pitch soft,
Like Rick Ross, I sip on,
Mikan and Hotaru did a Halos while the rest of the girls switched from the krumping to back flips
That sizzurpp,
Pull up to that cizzurppp,
I was tranced when I see shorty lookin so fly
I lost control of my steering wheel when I seen her behind,
And then she glanced and I took the shades up off of my eyes,
And it was like BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
Pluck them from the sea then display in aquariums
[REVERSE]
All the students were standing up and cheering for the B-dancers. Because they felt harmony in their dance and it was spontaneous. Plus it was simply Freaking cool
Pluck them from the sea then display in aquariums
I take care of them, while you stare at them
When she see me on tv she gon come and find me
I come visit, what time is it?
Fifteen past the crown on the rolex
I was tranced when I see shorty lookin so fly
I lost control of my steering wheel when I seen her behind,
And then she glanced and I took the shades up off of my eyes,
Natsume and the boys were doing 'Nike' and they kept jumping on one arm then they came back to their feet and did some krumping too
And it was like BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
I was tranced when I see shorty lookin so fly
I lost control of my steering wheel when I seen her behind,
And then she glanced and I took the shades up off of my eyes,
And it was like BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
The only ones who were left standing up were Sumire and Koko with Anna and Yuu. They stood up and bowed while the crowd cheered even the parents were clapping as hard as they could . And of course before they left the stage Mikan and Hotaru did the Shaka sign and the teens copied them
"Yup they definetely have the spirit of Break-Dance. Those guys, no, those girls." Reo said to himself as he watched his students leave the stage. He was so proud of them.
