DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gakuen Alice
Love can sometimes be magic but magic can sometimes just be an illusion.
"Oh! Shoot! That gay teacher didn't give us our seats!" Misaki mentioned.
"Oh! Great!" Hotaru said, shooting a glare to the door.
"Hey! I'll give you a tour around the school," Sumire offered.
"I'll go with you," Nonoko said.
"Me too," Anna said happily.
"Ok," Mikan said while thinking, "What's up with this school?"
On the other side…
"Those girls are smokin'," Tsubasa said, grinning.
"Yeah. That Hotaru Imai is emitting a different aura," Ruka said while looking up to the sky.
They are currently in a Sakura Garden, they're standing except from Natsume who's reading a manga while leaning on the trunk of their favorite hangout, the biggest Sakura tree in the garden which was found by Natsume. It's the most beautiful one too.
"Didn't we tell you? Those girls are surely different like Anna and Nonoko from the other girls that we met," Yuu said.
"They will soon fall for us," Natsume said, not looking up from his manga. Yuu and Kitsuneme just sighed while Tsubasa and Ruka nodded.
"What about you Koko? Are you really not going to have a girlfriend soon? Not even have someone you like?" Ruka asked, staring at Koko, who in return looked away.
"So… what if I have someone I like?" Koko said in a quiet voice but the guys heard it and shocked. Koko, who doesn't believe in being in love, has someone he likes? That's new. Ruka is just trying something ordinary to Koko, but he didn't expect that he already had one.
"So who's the lucky girl that you like?" Tsubasa asked in a teasing tone.
"Sumire… Sumire Shouda," Kooko replied.
The guys gape at him, even Natsume is a bit shocked. Why Koko does like someone like her anyways?
"Oh, well… good luck with that," Tsubasa said nervously.
"They're complete opposites and always arguing. How in the world did he like her?" the guys thought. They knew Sumire as a cold and snobbish princess but they also grew closer these days because of Anna and Nonoko, and she does soften a bit to them.
"What about the Sakura girl Natsume?" Koko asked.
"I don't need to be problematic because of that girl. She's gonna give up soon and fell for me," Natsume told them cockily.
"Hey! Don't think that we didn't saw that earlier. The Natsume Hyuuga just got his hands slapped and yelled at by a girl," Tsubasa said, smirking.
Natsume frowned and glared at Tsubasa who's raising his eye brows.
"Then, let's make a bet," Natsume offered, putting his manga aside and stood up. Everyone's ears perked up. "This is gonna be fun," they thought except from Yuu and Kitsuneme, who are shaking their heads in disapproval. "Didn't imai-san just warn them not to mess with her or with any of them?"
"So… what's this about?" Ruka asked.
"In one month, we should make them fall for us and ask them out," Natsume said.
"And…?"
"If you did it, you can order us whatever you want to do, within this gang."
"Awesome," Tsubasa complimented.
"And if you can't… you're out of this gang for a month and," Natsume paused and then he smirked, "You got to be the biggest school nerd of the month."
The guys are looked horrified about the 'nerd thing'. But Tsubasa and Ruka are confident enough.
"So who's with me?" Natsume asked.
"I'm in," Tsubasa said.
"Me too," Ruka said confidently.
Natsume raised his eyebrows to Koko.
"Nah! I have many things better to do," he answered.
The gang is ready to leave but Natsume stopped them.
"What is it?" Yuu asked.
"I forgot to tell you something."
"Ha?"
"They should not forget that we are playboys, we don't believe in love so…," Natsume paused.
"So…?" Ruka asked.
"After we date them for a week, we're going to dump them," Natsume continued, smirking.
"You know, you don't have to tell us about that," Tsubasa said.
"Yeah! Because that's exactly we're going to do with them. And they're the ones who will fall for us, not the other way around," Ruka informed.
"I'm just reminding you," Natsume said.
Yuu and Kitsuneme shook their heads in disapproval. Ruka noticed them.
"And you two, you're not gonna tell your girlfriends about this bet," Ruka said.
"We know. But what we are going to do if they find out about the bet?" Kitsuneme asked, worried.
"We're going to tell them that you don't know anything about it," Natsume said.
"Ok. Deal" Yuu and Kitsuneme agreed.
"Don't worry, they will not gonna dump you," Koko said, amused by the two's reaction about the bet of the three.
"Hopefully," the two of them thought.
Then, they went to some of their classes because they just skipped some of it.
Cafeteria…
The girls sat down at the table near the window. They we're chatting that they didn't noticed the guys that they encountered this morning are walking towards their table. All the girls in the cafeteria, except from Mikan and the others, screamed and admire the looks of Natsume and the other guys.
"The bet starts today," Natsume whispered. Tsubasa and Ruka nodded.
They stopped at the girls' table. All the girls in the cafeteria glared at their table. Mikan and Hotaru look up.
"Eh? What are you doing here?" Mikan asked.
"Duh! Eating?" Natsume said in a matter-in-fact tone.
Koko sat across Sumire. Nonoko and Yuu sat beside each other and same to Kitsuneme and Anna, Misaki and Tsubasa, and Hotaru and Ruka. Natsume sat across Mikan. So the seats are like this: Sumire-Kitsuneme-Anna-Mikan-Hotaru-Ruka and on across: Koko-Misaki-Tsubasa-Natsume-Yuu-Nonoko.
They began eating and after they ate their lunch, they started chatting and laughing. Natsume is staring intently at Mikan. She noticed this and looked at Natsume.
"You know, it's not good to stare at people," Mikan said.
"What? Who said I was staring at you?" Natsume asked, amused.
"And who said you were staring at me? Definitely not me… I just said it's not good to stare at people," Mikan replied back.
"Tch! So? What if I'm staring at you?" Natsume asked
"Whatever," Mikan muttered. She looked away and tried to chat to hotaru but she didn't responded. Then, she saw popping veins at hotaru's head.
"Uh-oh!" Mikan thought. She decided to listen to what is Ruka's blabbering about.
"Hey! Can I get your phone number?" Ruka asked.
No response.
"You really like crabs, huh?" Ruka said, looking at her plate which is full of crabs.
No response.
"Hey! Wanna hang out with us this weekend?" he asked.
No response.
"C'mon! Can't you talk? I'm asking the 40th question now," he asked.
Then, four veins popped in Hotaru's head. She stood up and slammed her hands on the table, causing the spoons and forks to rattle. Everyone fell silent. Ruka and the rest in the table are a bit surprised by the sudden outburst.
"Will you shut up? Bunny Boy!" Hotaru said in a menacing voice. She's glaring daggers to Ruka, who twitch at the nickname she just gave to him but he's sweating a lot. He just provoked her too much instead of liking him.
"O-okay," Ruka said nervously.
Everyone wants to laugh at the nickname that Hotaru gave him if it's not just the demonic aura that she's giving.
"You, hey!" Natsume called out to Mikan who's looking at Hotaru nervously. Then, Natsume leaned in closer to the table and flicked Mikan's forehead.
"Ow! What's that for?" Mikan asked angrily.
"I was calling you but you wouldn't budge," Natsume replied in a bored tone.
"But you don't have to do that!" Mikan snapped. She stood up, glared hard to Natsume. If only looks can kill. Then, she count 1 to 10 on her head to calm down. Once she did, she sat down again.
"What about you? Wanna hang out with me this weekend?" he asked.
"Nah! I rather spend my weekends alone in my house than spending it with an egotistical, conceited, perverted moron like you," she replied.
He twitched, "This girl is getting on my nerves," he thought.
Then, Natsume heard a snicker beside him. He turned to see Tsubasa and Misaki snickering while looking at them.
"Nice one Mikan-chan," Tsubasa said, still snickering.
"Shut up Shadow Freak!" Natsume said in a threatening voice.
"Shadow Freak?" Misaki and Mikan asked, confused.
Tsubasa glared at Natsume who in return glared too. Soon, there's a storm and a fight between them inside their heads. The two burst out laughing. The two snapped out their heads towards the two.
"What's up with the two?" Tsubasa and Natsume thought.
"Fox," Mikan said between her laughs.
"Ha? Fox?" the two are confused.
"Baldy," Misaki said.
"Oi. What fox? And… baldy?" Natsume asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Eh? What are you talking about?" tsubasa said narrowing his eyes to the two girls who are giggling.
When they stopped laughing, Mikan pointed a finger to Natsume.
"Hey! Sly fox," Mikan called out. Everyone in their table turned to listen to them. There's a vein that popped out from Natsume's head. "I just notice that you have… short… short eye brows," Mikan continued.
Their friends looked at Natsume and start snickering. Ruka paled. "Uh-oh! Mikan-chan, you are a dead meat. No one has ever pointed out what is Natsume's imperfection," he thought.
Natsume started to emit a dangerous aura. Mikan looked up and froze. She began sweating because of fear so she excused herself.
"Uh, guys, I think I need to go to the bathroom," Mikan said.
She went out from the cafeteria. After a minute, Natsume stood up and exited the cafeteria too.
Their friends didn't move and fell silent.
"Oh! My! Gosh! Mikan-chan's dead," Nonoko and Anna said, panicking.
"If he touched a single strand of her hair, I'm going to blast his head off," Hotaru threatened.
Everyone in their table stared nervously to Hotaru who has a menacing aura around her.
"Should… we… err… follow them?" Sumire asked nervously.
"Don't worry, Natsume never hurt a girl and never will, except mentally," Ruka said, pointing out the girls that Natsume broke up with who got hurt 'mentally'.
In a corner near the restroom…
"Phew! I thought he's gonna kill me there," Mikan said, while walking away from the restroom. Then, someone grabbed her and pushed her on the wall. She saw a furious crimson orbs glaring at her, its Natsume.
"You little… Do you know what did you just do in this whole day?" Natsume asked, his voice is full of poison. He felt insulted by this girl's acts.
"W-wha… I j-just… I just no-noticed… so I… I po-pointed it ou-out," Mikan replied, scared.
Then she looked up only to see Natsume staring at her.
Crimson clashed with hazel.
"Ne, Natsume-kun," a brunette little girl called out.
"What is it, ugly?" a raven-haired boy asked.
The two 7 year olds were sitting under the shade of a big Sakura tree. The cool breeze makes the Sakura petals to sway gracefully in the air. The brunette is leaning on the bark of the Sakura tree while looking up to the sky. While the raven-haired boy is staring at his companion, he's also leaning on the Sakura tree.
"That cloud is like a heart," the girl pointed her finger above.
The raven haired boy looked up and it was indeed a heart-shaped cloud. They were silent for a minute. Then, the brunette stared at the boy and smiled brightly. Feeling the gaze at him, he looked at her.
Crimson clashed with hazel.
Natsume looked away after remembering something.
Then, he looked back at Mikan. He noticed her beautiful features. Soft and silky auburn locks, bright, gorgeous hazel pools, creamy, soft skin, a tint of pink is visible in her cheeks, and her lips… redder than her cheeks.
He unconsciously licked his lips. He leaned in closer and closer. Their lips almost brush but when Mikan snapped out of her daze, she kicked Natsume at the spot where men doesn't want to be kick. Natsume crouched in pain.
"You pervert! What… what the hell do you think… you're going to do?" Mikan yelled.
Natsume groaned and muttering a string of curses.
"You little…!" Natsume snapped but unable to stand up properly because of that painful kick he just received.
Then, the bell rang, Mikan quickly run to her friends who just walked out from the cafeteria. Tsubasa and the others noticed Natsume leaning on a wall and have a pained expression. They shot Mikan a questioning look.
"I…umm… I kinda… kicked him… to that part," Mikan said then continued, "he's being a pervert so I just…. I just defend myself."
The others looked horrified, no one has ever did all the things that Mikan just did to The Natsume Hyuuga in one day; slapped his hands, yelled at him, pointed out his imperfection, and kicked him, not to mention it's in a sensitive spot too.
They want to laugh their asses off but when they sensed Natsume's painful glare at them, they quickly run to him and helped him. The girls left after they bid their goodbyes to them. Natsume is still glaring daggers at Mikan. If she's not a girl and if not because of the stupid bet they just agreed on, he's going to murder her in painful way.
"Watch out Mikan Sakura. I'm going to get you," Natsume thought.
