A/n: Here is part 2 of My Heart Belongs to You. Hoped you like part 1. Please continue to read and review. Thank you, britishmexi27 for reviewing. I didn't intend Misaki to be mean, ok maybe a little.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice or its characters.
I'm not sure if it's sempai or senpai. For this, I will say senpai.
Pretend that the attraction in the school festival during Mikan's younger days was not done. Another thing, Please go to my profile page and read the important note.
Summary: He first started as the older brother figure she never had. Too bad the façade couldn't last the day he fell for his 'little sister.' She loved him as well but she had to accept that they were just too far apart.
On the same day, the ability classes were preparing for an upcoming festival that would be held the next day. Each ability class had almost completed their attractions and was doing finishing touches. The Latent ability class held a haunted mansion attraction that was a mile away from an amusement park attraction held by the Technical ability class. The Somatic ability class created a reversed Cinderella play where the males would play the female characters while the females would play the male characters. The Special ability class held an RPG maze and the Dangerous ability class were not allowed to make an attraction.
Mikan and Tsubasa worked on holding up walls of the maze together while Misaki created the genie costumes for the students. By the time all the attractions were completed, everyone had left to their dorm rooms to get changed and get ready for their dinner time. Mikan had not walked back to her dorm because detention with Jinno-sensei was top priority.
Tsubasa was walking around the school grounds looking for Mikan. He spotted her walking in a different direction towards the middle school building. Running up to her, he called her name. "Hey Mikan, wait up!" He shouted. Mikan turned around and was surprised to see her senpai behind her. He caught up to her and brought his hands to his knees panting.
"Hi senpai, what's wrong?" Mikan asked him. Tsubasa stood up and placed both hands in his cargo pants pockets.
"I was looking all over for you. We were supposed to go to central town together in order to pick out a present for Misaki." Tsubasa said.
Mikan started playing with her fingers. "I'm sorry senpai. I accepted your request without remembering that I needed to go after class and do cleaning duties in detention."
Tsubasa chuckled. "I thought you ditched me for a second there. You could have told me beforehand."
Mikan looked up at him in shock and started waving her hands. "I wouldn't do that to you!" She shouted. "It's because senpai asked me, that's why I said yes."
Tsubasa was slightly taken back by her response and coughed lightly. "If you wanted to spend that much time with me, you could have said something." He joked.
Mikan turned scarlet red and gazed at the dirt ground. "I-it w-wasn't like that." She stuttered.
Tsubasa took one hand out of his pocket and rubbed the back of his head. "Tell you what, I'll wait for you until you are done then we can go together afterwards."
Mikan looked up at his body which hovered over hers and smiled. "Okay, thank you." She then turned back around and jogged Jinno-sensei's classroom.
Math Classroom
"I want you to sweep the floors, pick up trash, water the plants, and feed the frog." Jinno-sensei said as he sat in his teacher's desk. Mikan nodded and got a broom from the supply closet. Before she could start, Jinno-sensei stopped her. He cleared his throat and straightened his glasses. "Take it easy, you were pale before and I don't want another accident in this class."
Mikan's eyes widened. "Are you worried about me?" She asked.
"Get to work." Jinno-sensei glared at her.
Mikan giggled to herself and proceeded to clean the bathroom.
After duties
"Did I make you wait too long?" Mikan asked Tsubasa. They were located at the school bus stop waiting for the bus to come.
"Oh' no I walked around the school while waiting." Tsubasa said. Mikan stayed silent.
I wonder why you want to go with me badly. She thought.
The bus drove up and they hopped on. They sat next to one another at the back of the bus. The whole ride was quiet yet comfortable. It took ten minutes before the bus came to a halt signaling that they had to step out.
"Where do you want to go?" Mikan asked her senpai.
Tsubasa shrugged his shoulders. "At first I was hoping we could go to the jewelry store but it's Misaki and I'm not sure what she likes."
Mikan put a finger on her chin in a thinking position. "She likes the colors red and pink so you could get her a necklace or ring."
Tsubasa patted Mikan on the head and grinned. "That's a good idea. Let's go." He took the lead and Mikan followed behind him.
The two searched around town for a jewelry store which they luckily found. It was an Alice jewelry store where the creation Alice had made jewelry out of common items and gems. Mikan picked out a very pretty necklace that had red pearls and the letter M hanging on it. They both agreed on buying the necklace. The clerk placed the necklace in a heart shaped box for Tsubasa while Mikan looked at the other jewelry.
"Would you like me to scan that item as well?" The clerk suddenly asked. Tsubasa put his hand over his lips and slipped the item to the clerk for a quick order then left the store with a confused Mikan trailing behind.
"What did the clerk mean by another item? I thought you only got the necklace for Misaki-senpai." Mikan said.
"I decided to get a second present for her incase if she didn't like the necklace." Tsubasa explained.
"I'm sure Misaki-senpai will be happy with senpai's gift." Mikan smiled.
"We should go its getting late." Tsubasa took her hand and guided her to the bus stop. Mikan couldn't help but blush by the warmth of her hand in his. Inside her mind, she was squealing like a girl who had gotten a brand new car for her sixteenth birthday.
The bus came by to pick up the remaining students in town and drove to the academy. Each student filed out and walked to the either the dorms or the dinning room for each grade. Mikan and Tsubasa said their goodbyes and parted their ways.
Dinning Room
"Mikan-chan, you're late. Dinner is almost over." Anna shouted to her friend. Mikan walked up to her seat beside her and sat down. "Natsume-kun was looking all over for you."
"Sorry, I had to go to central town with Tsubasa-senpai to pick out an anniversary gift for Misaki-senpai." Mikan was given her three star dinner which consisted of lobster with a sauce and rice as a side dish. "Why would he be looking for me?"
Hotaru who was sitting to the left of Mikan took a bite of her crab roe and swallowed it down in one gulp. "He's your supposed lover." He said.
Mikan frowned and rolled her eyes. "He is not my lover. We barley are going out."
Anna gasped and almost choked on her sandwich. She had to pick up a glass of water to wash the food down her throat. "He is a concerned boyfriend of yours! How could you say that?"
Mikan dropped her fork and knife on to the table and crossed her arms over her chest. "You don't even know what he did to me. Instead of interrogating me, he should know when I want to talk about things."
Anna did not understand what Mikan was talking about but Hotaru did. "Some day you have to tell him about your anxiety." She whispered to Mikan.
"I know." Was all Mikan said.
Academy Festival Day
The sound of confetti popping was heard all over the academy. It was finally the start of the festival that brought joy to the students. Everyone was running around preparing for the opening of the attractions.
The Special abilities class students were getting dressed in their attire and setting up the genie lamps which had a picture of each of the students participating in the lamps.
Mikan was in the dressing room already in her genie outfit. She was currently fixing her hair into a tight pony tail at the moment when a knock was heard at the door. "Who is it?" She called out. "I'm decent."
The door opened and in came Misaki. "Mikan thank you for going with Tsubasa to central town. The present is so beautiful. I just wish he had picked it out from his own knowledge." Misaki said. She walked up to Mikan and picked up a comb.
"It was nothing." Mikan said. She allowed Misaki to comb her hair for her.
"I think you look better with a French braid." She parted Mikan's long hair and started braiding down in the middle. When she was done, Mikan tied the end braid with a ribbon.
"Thank you." Mikan said.
Misaki grinned at her and showed her thumbs up. "You're welcome, now you look like a pretty genie." She complimented her. "Let's get going, there are already some customers waiting."
Waiting patiently in front of the maze was Narumi-sensei, Sumire, and Ruka who was holding his long time pet bunny. Mikan ran up to them in happiness and clasped her hands together. "Welcome to our RPG maze." She greeted them.
Sumire snorted and placed a hand on her hip. "This is such a waste of time." She said. Mikan forced a smile onto her face but her eyebrow twitched.
"Why don't you try and see for yourself?" A voice came up from behind them. They all turned around and saw Tsubasa in his genie attire which included extra skin *ehem* his abs shown. Mikan and Sumire turned red at the sight of him and almost fainted.
"Nic entrance you go there." Misaki walked up to him and grabbed his arm. "You need to go to your station."
Mikan turned her attention back to Sumire and smirked. "Well then, are you up to the test?" She held out her palm in front of her face. Sumire hesitated before slamming a ticket on to her hand. Mikan deposited the ticket into a box labeled one ticket each try.
"What do I do?" Sumire haughtily said.
"The rules of the game are simple. You just have to pass a series on tests that are timed approximately one minute. Alices are permitted but you cannot hurt the one giving you the test. It gets harder as you go. Items in that bin," Mikan pointed to a yellow bin beside her, "will be used to help you but you only get one."
"That's so easy." Sumire snickered. The curtains opened up and Sumire was met by darkness. She picked out an item from the bin which was two singing earplugs. "What am I suppose to do with these, annoying things?" She shrieked.
"I don't know. Find out for yourself." She pushed Sumire into the dark entrance. "Who's next?"
"I'll go next." Narumi-sensei said. He picked out an item then entered the maze. Ruka did the same and walked in a couple minutes after.
Mikan got up and left to her station which was at the end of maze and sat down on a carpet.
Many students started appearing at their attraction after the word got out that the Special abilities class had a great attraction. Natsume had decided to enter the area with Mochiage, his follower. When Natsume had heard that Mikan was currently in the maze, he decided to enter and play the challenges. Narumi-sensei was the first one to reach Mikan's station but was not able to pass because at that station, an Alice was not permitted. He sadly failed and left the maze. Natsume passed all the tests and was finally at Mikan's station.
Mikan was surprised to see him standing right below her. She rested her hands in her lap and looked at him. "Congratulations, you have reached the final test. All you have to do is get me down from this carpet without touching me or using your Alice." She said in an uneasy voice.
"What do I get from this challenge?" Natsume asked.
"You find out if you win." Mikan replied casually.
"How about this, I get you down here and you answer my questions." Natsume firmly said.
Mikan bit her lip. "Fine, but you only get one answer."
Natsume grunted and narrowed his eyes. Mikan moved back on the carpet a little and started whistling a tune. Natsume began thinking to him self and figured out a way to get his 'girlfriend' down from the carpet. He went down to the ground clutching his head in pain and panting. Mikan looked at him with a bored expression on her face and tapped her head with her finger. "I'm not stupid Natsume. I think I would know that you're faking."
Natsume continued on his act without listening. After a couple seconds, she began to feel scared and jumped down from the carpet. Natsume miraculously recovered and grabbed her by the shoulder. "I win." He said.
Mikan jumped up from her position and backed away. "That's not fair! You cheated!" She pointed an accusing finger at him.
"I won so answer why you were pale." Natsume calmly said.
Mikan froze and tightened her fist. "I didn't get enough sleep and had not eaten breakfast that morning."
Natsume glared and her and took a step forward so that she was in arms length. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her slowly closer to him. "I don't like liars. Tell me the truth."
Mikan fidgeted and tried to release herself from his grasped. "That's one too many questions." She struggled to remove his arm from her wrist. "Please let me go."
"Please," Natsume looked down. He almost sounded like a helpless puppy to Mikan. "Tell me why?"
Before Mikan could say anything, Tsubasa came into view and saw the situation she was in. He quickly took her by the hand and pulled her away from Natsume. Mikan cried in his chest while he patted her back in comfort. "Why would you do that? She can't handle pressure." He frowned at him.
Natsume looked at Tsubasa in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Tsubasa sighed and gazed at Mikan who was quietly sobbing into his chest. "Never mind; leave her alone for a while. When she is better, you can talk to her." He lifted Mikan up was carried her bridal style.
Misaki came in just in time to see her kouhai in the arms of her love. She looked away in jealousy and turned around. "Everyone was wondering what was taking you so long. It's break time." She looked at Natsume who was almost seething. "Did you win?"
Natsume replied with a nod and followed her out the maze for his prize. Tsubasa was still carrying Mikan when he left the maze and allowed her to stand by herself when Mikan had asked him to let her go.
