Alice Academy: Generation X
Disclaimer: I don't own Alice academy, nor its characters… I do own the new ones (especially the 10 year olds…).
AN: You liked the prologue didn't you? :)) keep reading, you know you want it:)) hehe
Description: what happens after eighteen years in the anime? Mikan has a son she left when she supposedly died, but who's the father?! What will be her son's future problems? Is Mikan really dead? RxR usual pairings.
Chapter one: the Beginning of Spring (Hatsuharu)
"Good Morning to all!!"
He walked, no, ran down the hallway of the Temple. His bit-blond-bit-brunette type of hair whipped with the wind. He dashed to the kitchen with a very big smile plastered on his face like a tattoo. Every now and then he slips and half-stumbles on the floor. He reached the kitchen in no time.
"Good morning, Narumi-ojii-chan!
"Hey, hey… I told you to call me otou-san. I'm not that old yet," answered the 45 year old blonde.
"But you said okaa-san always, always calls you otou-san. So I should call you ojii-chan!" he blurted out happily.
He looks so much like Mikan. A boy-turned Mikan, that is…
"So today is your first day at school, again?" I asked.
"Yep!" He said, munching on the waffles I baked for him.
"I'll be seeing Xeride (sheride) and Pods at school again! Oops!" he said, "I mean, Mioshi and Ren."
He looked so happy. His hair, even though had been kept long, doesn't even affect his happy-go-lucky figure. So Mikan, yet so much different, like always…
'I wonder what it is…?'
"Oh no! I'm going to be late!" he blurted out.
I laugh, so much about likeness, they're mirror reflections!
He grabbed his backpack and rushed to the door.
"Ja ne, Ojii-chan! (Ciao, Gramps!) he said before he rushed out of the door to the other side of the gate.
I watched till his shadow was gone. Then I dialed on the phone. (BGS: RING!!)
"Who is this?" A deep voice answered me.
'Good, he answered.'
"Hatsuharu will be starting school this year again, today. Don't you want to visit him a bit?"
"No"
"Hotaru's going to come here."
"Let her come."
"You know," I asked, better get to the point, "He looks a lot like someone I can't quite distinct. Specially when he sleeps."
"Just make sure that he is out of harms way." And he hung up.
"Hey, Xeride! Pods!"
I greeted them. As usual both of them have emotionless faces. They're twins, both raven-haired with beautiful blue-sapphire eyes. Both also have great knowledge about technology. No, Nanotechnology. But to me, they're Xeride and Pods, my two best friends.
"What do you want?" Xeride asked. Xeride is, well, Xeride. He loves to invent things but he also loves to be around animals. He usually invents animals that are animal-shaped. His favorite, up until now, is Mu-chan, his kitten-like robot that's made of very black metal. He said it looks a lot like me. He, I noticed, carried Mu-chan in his backpack.
"Nothing! Hi there, Mu-chan!" I said while petting the cat. It, however lashed my hand with its claws.
"YAW!! Owww…" I said as I cradled my injured hand.
"You shouldn't touch Mu-chan while he's in the backpack." Pods answered me. Pods, even though 'Pods' a boy's nickname, is a girl. She usually creates robots that deal with transportation (e.g. the mirror teleporter at her home connected to the mirror in my room.) Her real name is Ren Nogi. Ren means waterlily. Pods would be the lily (flower) and Xeride would be the lily pads (leaves) protecting her. That's pretty much their situation, I guess. By the way, Xeride's real name is Mioshi Nogi.
My name is Hatsuharu Sakura. My first name means "the beginning of spring". My surname, on the other hand, means "cherry" or "cherry blossoms". Maybe, all in all it means "The cherry blossoms on the beginning of spring".
"Why?" I asked.
"It's like you when you're still in bed." Xeride answered.
I was shocked.
"WHAT!"
Baka, Baka, Baka… (Baka gun x)
"Ouch!"
"Don't shout," Pods answered, "Baka."
Interlude:
Invention 001: Mu-chan
A kitten-like robot made to function as a kitten with emotions like Hatsuharu.
Additional information: Mu-chan is sooooo cute.
Invention 002: Baka gun x
It is a new form of baka gun, with water gun design and small enough to fit in any pocket of a bag. Shots air bullets to only one target no matter where you point it at (In short, it has target-lock.). It also has automatic adjuster that adjusts the hardness of the air bullet depending on one's stupidity during the current situation.
End of Interlude
"Pods, Don't do that."
(gulp!) It's Imai-san, the head of the Imai-san Electronic Company. She's tall, also raven-haired, has white complexion and smooth voice. Help!
"I've told you that you shouldn't bring those things to school." She added.
"Baka gun x can be hidden away so it can't be noticed." Pods said to her defense.
"Your father already told you never to show your Alice."
"I'm not." Pods answered.
"We do not." Xeride added
Alice?
"Xeride, what is an 'Alice'? I asked.
"It is complicated… you wouldn't want to know." He said, "Besides, neko (cat), you don't seem to have one." He added with a sly grin.
"No matter," I said as I brushed away his idea, "what is it?"
Xeride was thinking. He's always like that. Maybe cold but he sure doesn't bite, unlike Pods…
"To us," he began," it is our ability to understand things about nanotechnology. Creating or inventing things is our Alice.
"Otou-san has animal pheromones. He could tell animals what to do and even understands them. I also have it but I like nanotechnology better." He added.
I sweat drop, again…
??Animal pheromones??
"Does that mean you can control animals?" I asked.
"Yes, I guess Pods have it, too. She just doesn't know how to use it yet…"
"Anyway, where's your father? This is the first time you talked about him…" I asked out of the blue. I really can't understand what he said…
"He always comes only at Christmas eve…" he answered. He instantly looked sad. One of the few topics that make him show emotions is about his father. I haven't met his father yet, but he would be a good person, knowing that Xeride and Pods are good people.
The day went on nicely. I said my goodbyes to Xeride and Pods and went home.
"Ojii-chan, I'm home!" I called out as I opened the door, "Ojii-chan, are you home?"
Silence greeted me and the chilly wind. The rooms and hallways are lighted but there is no sign of ojii-chan. I walked slowly to the kitchen. Then I went to his bedroom. Then, as I walked to the hallway, I heard murmurs. I pinned my ear on the door that leads to our backyard pond.
"There is no need for him to be there." It was a man's voice.
"But he has Nullifying Alice… Just like her… He should be admitted in the Alice Academy."
'Narumi-ojii-chan!
'Alice Academy? Who're they talking about?'
"It doesn't matter if he's an Alice or not. He will always be in constant danger in the Academy."
'Alice?'
"Why would he be in danger? Persona is already dead. I don't believe he would get hurt in there when most of the personnel will have him under surveillance."
'Who's this Persona?'
"I have a feeling that he is not dead…"
"Sooner or later, someone will notice and he would have to come to the Academy."
"I hope you know that people from the outside still can't go waltzing in the Academy anytime they want."
"I still know I can't see him inside but he needs the education there."
"So you're willing to miss him and send him away to the Academy? For what? For him to learn how to use his Alice when you yourself can teach him how?" the man seem to irritably said.
"I will send Hatsuharu away. It is for him so my feelings don't matter."
"No!"
AN: heh, is it good?? please review!! I need them to live :))
