No, I do not own Gakuen Alice.

Chapter 2 : The Game Of I Hate You, You Hate Me.

Summary : "You messed with my life's balance, but I do congratulate you. You are officially the only woman worth a second look." He said, leaning in for a kiss.


"I had been been crying and crying for weeks.

How can I survive when I can barely speak?

Barely eat, on my knees.

But that's the moment that you came to me.

I don't know what your love has done to me.

I see through the me, I used to be."


Nightmares of that night.

...

...

...

And you expect me to be happy?

Threats.

...

...

...

Yet you want me to act like nothing was wrong? To laugh and joke around like a child?

Death.

...

...

...

It's gonna happen to those who's time is up, but to those who don't deserve it..

...

...

...

You live in regret.


Ruka struggled to pull Natsume off his bed with all his power and only made an inch of progess.

Natsume was surprisingly heavy when he wanted to be, and right now, he wanted to be.

"Natsume! Get up!" Ruka shouted in his ear.

Natsume scowled, covering his ears with one hand and swatted at Ruka with the other.

Ruka dodged Natsume's quick hand, constantly having to bend up and down and extreme paces makes it hard to pull someone off a bed.

Landing a light smack on Ruka's arm, Natsume got up.

Ruka sighed, "If that was what it took to get you up, I would've let you done it a long time ago."

Natsume rolled his eyes and picked up a rubber ball that Youichi left from his play date here and threw at his friend.

Ruka's eyes narrowed before running away from the ball that was coming full speed at him. "Natsume!" Ruka yelled.

Natsume just opened and closed the door, leaving Ruka in there.

Ruka laughed softly, it was just like him to do that.

...

...

...

Best Friends, eh?


Ruka finally located Natsume, who was sitting behind the three large bushes in the garden room.

His head on his arms, his back against the brick wall, his eyes closed. His left arm was free and was placed on the manga that laid beside him.

Ruka slowly began to remove the manga when his phone viberated, Ruka glanced at his cell phone, Hotaru. Thank God it didn't ring out loud though.

"Yes Hotaru?" Ruka asked quietly.

"Did you find that idiot?" Hotaru asked, her tone showed no emotion. That's the thing about Imai Hotaru, you can never tell what she's thinking or feeling at the moment unless she tells you directly or puts it in action, which was not pleasant in any case.

"Yeah, I'll bring him up now. It'll be a while though, he's asleep and he's not the easiest to carry." Ruka said, shutting off his phone.

Reluctantly grabbing Natsume's left arm, Ruka softly swung it over his shoulders. Then he slowly lifted Natsume's head up, grabbing his right arm. With Ruka's right arm, Ruka grabbed Natsume's manga and stuffed it in his jean's pocket and made his way to the living room.

Panting deep breathes, Ruka placed Natsume on the nearest couch, which woke him up.

Taking in his surrondings, Natsume glared. He searched the room for Ruka... found him. Next thing he searched for was a bat... found it.

Taking hold of the baseball bat, Natsume smirked.

Ruka's eyes widen before running off, chased by Natsume.

...

...

...

Good luck Ruka.


Hotaru watched her boyfriend get chased as she reached into her bag. Natsume and Ruka froze. Whenever Hotaru reached into her bag, it was pure danger. Now it was both of them running away from Imai as she reached for her Advanced Baka Gun that she developed for the likes of Mikan yesterday.

Right then Mikan entered the room and saw everyone frozen in place-confused she took a glance at her best friend who was clearly holding her dangerous baka gun, Mikan's eyes widen to match the males in the room and sprinted.

Hotaru could lower her invention, yes she could. But the question was, "Would she?" Not in this lifetime.

Aimming her gun to the right position, Hotaru fired.

Pleasure made itself evident on the Ice-Princess's facade as the two boys flew all the way across the living room through the garden and into the bathroom as the door slammed shut.

Mikan saw the whole scene and could not stiffle her laughter. Giving Hotaru a high five, as she still continued laughing.

Emerged from the bathroom came soaking wet Ruka and Natsume with anger plastered on their faces. Amusement plastered on Hotaru's. A hillarious smile plastered on Mikan's.

"Hotaru!" Ruka yelled in frustation.

"Imai." came a low sneer from Natsume.

"Yes idiots?" Hotaru asked snickering.

"The bathroom? What the fuck is on that messed up mind of yours?" Natsume gritted.

"The tragic life of Hyuuga and Nogi. That and payback for annoying this idiot of a friend I call." Hotaru said simply.

Mikan gave a shrug, she had no idea Hotaru would do this, but she wasn't upset about it. Natsume was a pervert and a meanie but Ruka didn't deserve the same punishment, he was quite nice. She would make sure to tell Hotaru later on that day. Mikan glanced up as she heard Natsume mutter a comment about people these days.

...

...

...

No one's perfect.


"I'll make dinner." Mikan offered.

Ruka was already exhausted and agreed, normally he would object to that idea.

"What would you like, Ruka?" Mikan asked first.

"Stake with a side of slices of tomatoes, if it isn't to much trouble." Ruka said.

"It's fine, and Hotaru?" Mikan said, then turning to her best friend.

"Ramen." Hotaru said and got up to watch T.V.

"Natsume..?" Mikan asked, caution evident in her voice.

"You." Natsume said darkly.

"Wait, huh? Wh-what? Di-did I hear ri-right? W-what did you sa-say?" Mikan stuttered, blushing madly.

Natsume rolled his eyes, "Just a joke, Strawberry Print."

Mikan felt her eyes widen once more, "Pervert!" she screeched.

"Predictable Naive Idiot." Natsume said.

"Yeah? Well your are no good player!" Mikan yelled at the best of her ability.

"Her responses was stupid and immature" Natsume thought. "You enjoy letting people see your underwear." Natsume shot back, he could feel his fury rising.

Mikan felt her annoyance rise as well. "Whatever." she said grumply. "You get dirty fish, since you are one." Mikan said huffing and took her trip to the kitchen.

...

If you cannot take a sexual joke, you cannot live with The Natsume Hyuuga. Practice patience and tolerance. Lots of it.

...

...

...

A word of advice; If you decide to insult Natsume Hyuuga, be prepared.
