Author's note:

The story isn't in order, so I can't put a proper title for each … (I don't know how to describe it myself. It depends on how you see it) However, there will be a few layers. In order to stay on the right path, always have at least a note for yourself. Collect them all and in the end of this story, I will reorder everything and see if you can match the story correctly. Isn't that fun!

Section 2

"Kazuya, Kazuya, wake up! It's time to go to school", cried his mum from downstairs. He leaped off the bed with a joy and immediately went to the bathroom. The towel was hanging neatly and he could feel the warmth of the shower. The smell of the rosy soap and the refreshing morning breeze inspired him to get up early.

In the kitchen, his mum served a plate of pancake with homemade syrup down poured to the base. It was all like a dream. As if in the fairy tale, Kazuya hoped that this happiness will last to the end.

When he returned from the school, the huge mansion was too quiet. Something was wrong. He dashed into the house to check on his mum. "Mum!" he called. "Mum!" he repeated over and over again.

Clang! A plate crashed on the floor. Kazuya rushed to the kitchen. From behind the door, he could see a man in a mask gripping his mother's neck. His mum was breathing hard and she looked as her soul had been absorbed out of her.

"Tell me what the secret is. The secret that your organization had been hiding from our knowledge", said the man.

"I know nothing about it", replied his mum.

"Liar", said the man and strangled her tighter.

Kazuya came out from behind the door and ran towards the man. He slammed his body at him. "Leave her alone!" he shouted angrily. His mum flung backward. BANG! She hit the sharp edge of a knife which blade was pointing to her.

She collapsed on the floor and blood was leaking from the wound uncontrollably. Kazuya stared at the man angrily. He clinched his knuckle.

sound effect: The misty nymphs were singing in their language.

Out of nowhere, twelve misty creatures known as the Misty Nymphs surrounded Kazuya. (sound effect over here) They danced faster and faster until they became a mist blanket which wrapped the boy's figure.

The tidal sound echoed in the kitchen. It was the call of the great Alice: The Mystical water.


Natsume counted the hour. The night time was beguiling. The moon was fenced by tiny stars which were gleaming in the black veil of the dark. Ruka had fallen asleep a while ago. So much for accompanying throughout the night!

He stood up to stretch his muscle before it goes numb.

Persona was on his way to the hospital room. He climbed the nearby tree and then to the window. He came into the room where Kazuya was treated without making any noise.

Natsume caught the glimpse of Persona. What was he doing at this hour? Natsume decided to take a look so he made his way to the hospital room. Persona had disappeared from his sight.

Natsume climbed on the tree and crawled carefully to one of the window nearby. Inside, he could see Persona talking to Kazuya. Kazuya was glaring at him unemotionally and returned to sleep.

Kazuya sneaked away out from the hospital. When Natsume realized that Persona was going to leave the room, he immediately leaped off to the ground and hid himself behind a shrub.

Persona safely landed on the land. He didn't move an inch. "Come out, Natsume. I know you are here", said Persona without turning his back. Natsume came out from his hiding place. He knew that it was no use to hide from Persona.

"What did you see?" asked Persona.

"Who is that boy?" asked Natsume instead of answering Persona's question. Persona grinned.

"Mind your own business", he said and leaved Natsume who was puzzled.


"Good morning, everybody", greeted Mr. Narumi cheerfully to his students. He was about to start teaching when Mikan finally arrived. Mikan was late again but Narumi didn't seem to bother because she was just late for a few second.

"You are almost on time, Mikan. Go to your seat now," said Narumi sensei. Mikan settled quickly.

Five minutes later, Mr. Misaki came into the classroom. He was bringing Kazuya with him. Mr. Narumi stopped writing on the board. He put the book on the table and faced the students.

"Everybody, I would like to introduce you to a new friend. We don't know his name, so we decided to call him Mr. X. Quite a fancy name but easy to remember. Mr. X, you can sit anywhere you like", said Narumi.

Kazuya chose to sit alone in the corner of the room. He didn't want to mix up with the other children.

At the end of the lesson, Narumi had asked Yuu to partner with Kazuya. As a class representative, he was very proud to help Kazuya whenever he needed help.

Kriing! The break time bell rang. Yuu greeted his new partner.

"Hey, Mr. X! Would you like to play soccer with us?" invited Yuu. Kazuya didn't look at Yuu. He folded his arm and extended his leg on the desk.

"How about going out for lunch with us? That will be great, won't it?" asked Yuu. He was trying to catch Kazuya's attention.

Kazuya was very annoyed.

He stood up and pulled Yuu's uniform. He drew Yuu closer and warned him with his angry eyes. Yuu could hear the wave sound when Kazuya lifted him and threw him to the floor like junk. Yuu was speechless. It was not because of Kazuya used violence against him.

It was the wave sound. The ocean was angry and stormy. Along with the sound, he could feel the chilly sadness of the sea.

Yet, he wasn't at the sea. He was just facing a boy; a boy who was the same as the other children in Gakuen Alice.

Why did he feel so scared?

Kazuya lost attention to Yuu and walked out from the classroom. From far, Natsume was observing Kazuya carefully.

Character's help:

Kazuya's mum isn't really his mother. In fact, she is the guardian to Kazuya. Her name is Yuri so next time if you see the name Yuri, bear this in your mind.
