So another year after Rou and Mikan started going out…. Mikan's POV
"Eh?"
"Lady Mikan, is there a problem with your hearing?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a bit shocked by this."
And since I've transferred I don't get shocked very often. But that aside, why are we going to Alice Academy?
"So as I was saying all 20 of you shall be going to the Academy with Koizumi-sensei. You shall be in your normal grades and there will be no problems with studies since Yukihara headmaster has agreed to take it slowly for the semester. Now we'll be leaving in two days so make sure you pack soon. Thank you all for coming this is the end of the meeting."
Rou walked with me to our dorm.
"Rou, do you think we'll be in the same class?"
"Probably, Hi-sama is always requesting that couples are apart in classes but since we have the best grades and musical ability for school I think we'll probably be together."
"Oh good, I won't be able to live if Mashiro is in my class."
"But she has the worst grades. So she'll be in a lower grade."
"You're probably right."
"Anyway, that's not what you're worrying is it? Is it him?"
"Yeah. I haven't seen him in three years and I'm afraid that he's…"
"It doesn't matter. Besides if he touches you I'll murder him."
I smiled at him. "Thanks, so what personality should I use on them?"
"It would be funny if they see you completely different from how you used to be."
"It would. In that case I'll re dye my hair tips. Are you sure that you don't you want me to dye your hair?"
"Remember what I said never."
"No, I won't. Don't worry. Or should I wait until you're sleeping and-"
"Just stop."
"He heh."
When we got back to the dorm I saw Onee-chan packing knifes.
"Onee-chan, what are you doing?"
"I'm packing."
"I understand that part but um...why knifes?"
"Because if I see that Hyuuga I'll-"
"She'll make a nice stew out of him," Tsubasa said.
"Tsubasa, why aren't you concerned? That Hyuuga Natsume if I see him he's going-"
"Misaki I think they'll search you."
Then Nobara came in holding a couple of papers.
"Guys, Hi-sama gave me out class schedules and why does Misaki look murderous," Nobara said as she examined the dark aura.
"Not really important right now so are me and Misaki in the same class?"
"Yeah, you two will be in class 3-B. Then the rest of us are in class 1-B. Both in the high school division."
"Class B right," I asked to confirm.
"Yeah."
"I see… Anyway Nobara, wanna dye your hair before we go?"
"I guess, and don't worry this time everything will be fine cause we're all here with you."
"Really?"
"Of course! Now, who wants to go stop Misaki from packing all those knifes?"
And so two days later in class 1-B… (Or would it be 2-B?) Natsume's POV
"And now please come in!"
Three students came in. Two with blue curly hair and eyes the other with long brown hair and black tips tied in a side pony. All of them carried instrument cases on their backs. I didn't pay much attention to the adult with them.
"These are the Toudon students you can introduce yourselves now!"
Toudon… that's where Mikan went. I doubt that she's here.
"I'm Ibaragi Nobara. It's nice to meet you I suppose," The girl with curly blue hair and black streaks said.
"Ibaragi Rou, don't touch my sister or my girlfriend," The blue haired boy said. So I guess that means they're siblings or something. Wonder who the girl next to him is.
"Yukihara Mikan."
Yukihara? That can't be! She looks different. It wasn't just the hair but her eyes and her voice too. They're colder.
"So please be nice to them while I show their teacher around school! But before that let's assign you all partners!"
"There is no need for that. Just show Koizumi-sensei around."
And so they left. Then there was a crowd around them.
"Yukihara-san it's been a while!"
"Why did you leave?"
'Mikan' punched the board hard. "Don't act like you guys know me, "she said in a cold voice.
They're completely different. It can't be her can it?
Mikan's POV
Sheesh, they're so annoying! Why do they even care? They don't even know a thing about me. Just like how I don't know anything about them.
"Mikan."
I noticed that now in front of me was Hotaru, Anna-chan, and Nonoko-chan.
"What do you want?"
"Mikan-chan what's going on?"
"You left for a while –"
"And now you're back but-"
Then they said at the same time, "completely different."
"I was thinking about what my parents wanted me to do and believed that it was time that I went to Toudon. That's it."
"You hate doing what your parents say."
"Imai-san it was merely because I was too foolish to understand anything. Like you said often in the past, I was stupid."
"This isn't you," Hotaru said with raising emotion.
"And what is me?"
She looked lost for words. "If you have nothing to say then this conversation is over," I said in my normal cold voice. As I started to walk out someone grabbed my hand. I turned to see Natsume.
"What happened to you?"
I didn't answer him. Besides I couldn't Rou came over, grabbed his arm, and then flipped him over making him release his grip and making him fall on his face.
"What the-?"
"I said so didn't I? Don't touch my girlfriend or my sister."
"Rou. It's fine he'll be in a world of pain soon because of Onee-chan and he must obviously have damaged hearing."
"What-?"
"3,2and...1"
The door slammed open and Onee-chan came in with a murderous aura.
"Where is Hyuuga Natsume," she asked with a scary voice.
I pointed in his direction. Then she slapped him, hard.
"That's for breaking her."
She slapped him on the other side of his face.
"And that's a warning. If you go near my sister you'll be in a world of pain."
Hmm... I thought she would've gone harder on him. She did pack a lot of knives.
"Onee-chan you should go or you'll be in trouble with Kozumi-sensei."
"Then I'll see you later," she said in a more cheerful voice.
"See? Don't worry about it too much. By the way Nobara where's our next class," I said to Rou.
"Music then we have another music class. I wonder why they give us two music classes it's quite… stupid."
"Yeah you're right. I'll show you guys where it is. We have Kotone Sensei then Koizumi-sensei right?"
"Yep but before that can you show me where the bathroom is around here," Nobara asked.
"I guess."
Anyway going to music class… Natsume's POV
I tried to grab Mikan's shoulder as she was walking toward the classroom by herself. She slapped my hand away through.
"Don't touch me. My sister will kill you."
"Mikan just let me explain."
"There's no need for that. It's fine it was rude to except that you would've remember. Besides in a way I must thank you. After all because you were mean to me I transferred and met Rou. Isn't that right Rou? "
"You're right. Now let's go to class Nobara said to go on ahead."
"Alright."
I watched as they walked away from me. As much as it kills me to think this they look good together. Maybe this is for the best. And maybe I hate that guy's guts. Why did I do that to her? When I entered the class Kotone-sensei was talking about forming friendships and bonds with everyone.
Mikan's POV
"- And so let's try to get to know everyone better. By the way Yukihara-san where is your teacher? I was told that she was going to be here. "
"How am I suppose to know?"
"Well I do hope –"
Then the door opened and Koizumi-sensei came in. "I'm sorry I'm late- Kotone? "
"Onee-chan?"
Oh, now I know. They're eyes are the same. I wonder why I didn't notice it before?
Then they both said," What are you doing here?"
"Oh, so this is where you went after you left home. Well it suits you, after all it's just like I said you will never be the best at music."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Wow, you're as stupid as you were before. Think about it. How many people graduate this school wanting to be a musician or to be pursuing in music?"
"Well, um…"
"Exactly. It's really foolish of you. You should have just quit, it's not like you're teaching anything here."
"I'm teaching better than you ever could!"
Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard her yell. This day just got more interesting.
"Is that so? Your best student couldn't even beat my worst."
"I'll prove it!"
"You're as childish as you were before. How do you plan on proving it?"
"We'll have a contest. Students from each school will be able participate. One person or a band is allowed. We'll have some of the faculty be the judges including ourselves. The person or band who wins will have proven who is superior in her musical abilities and teaching skills."
"Fine by me. When my students win through you stop music forever and leave this school."
"Fine."
"Sensei! Please reconsider we don't want you to leave. You're one of the only normal teachers we have left," shouted a random student.
"Don't worry. You just have to win."
"But before that you need the principal's approval."
"I'll give it then. As long as I am one of the judges," Oji-san said as he suddenly popped up from no where. "It'll be held in the reception hall. The first round is in say three weeks?"
"Very well, people who want to do it will sign up in this classroom will that be fine," Kotone –sensei asked.
"Fine, all of my students are going to participate," Koizumi-sensei said.
"Sensei, may I give these students a small demonstration," I asked getting bored of doing nothing.
"Of course."
"Onee-chan, can you give me a hand?"
"Which song?"
"Unforgettable. May we use your piano," I asked Kotone- sensei.
She nodded. Onee-chan started playing then I started. My music alone before was no good but now along with Onee-chan's music it's better, much better. We looked at the faces of the students. Each one was amazed.
"Thank you for letting me use your piano, by the way it's going to need a tune up. Some of the keys don't sound right."
"Well, that's my students' at their worst. Good luck you'll need it," Koizumi-sensei said. Then we all left after her.
