This is my new chapter and hope you like it...
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gakuen Alice
Letting go doesn't mean giving up but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.
Yukihara Mansion...
"Good morning You-chan," Mikan greet.
"Morning Mikan-chan," Youichi greet back.
"Are you exciting to study here?" Mikan asked happily.
"Not really. I just want to guard you," Youichi said.
"You-chan I have something to tell you," Mikan said while walking to the car of Youichi.
"What is it?" he opened the passenger seat for Mikan and she got inside. Youichi got to the driver side and starts the engine.
"It's about me... being a Yukihara," she started.
"What? Don't tell me you're using Sakura as your last name?" Youichi stared at her wide-eyed.
"Ummm.. That's... yeah," she said.
"Oh my God! Mikan," Youichi leaned his head on the wheel.
"You-chan, I know that you understand my situation. I just want a normal life, normal school, to be a normal girl," Mikan told him with a serious face.
Youichi straightened up and looked at Mikan. He sighed and asked, "Is there anyone who know about this, besides Hotaru and the others?"
"Yeah," Mikan answered in a quiet voice.
"WHAT?" Youichi asked incredulously.
"Don't worry, they won't tell anyone. We can trust them. The boyfriends of Anna-chan, Nonoko-chan, and Permy are the ones who know about my true identity," Mikan said.
"Ok," Youichi took a deep breath and starts driving.
School...
"Where's Mikan-chan?" Tsubasa asked.
"I think Youichi is with her," Misaki said. Natsume clenched his fists.
"No need to be jealous. I think you have a chance to Mikan, Natsume," Ruka told him.
"If only you knew," the girls thought.
"Ne, isn't that Mikan-chan?" Anna pointed to a black Ferrari. Youichi came out, looking cool and handsome. He walked to the passenger side and opened the door. Mikan got out and muttered a 'thank you' to him. They walked to the gang, holding hands.
"Hey, guys," Mikan waved at them.
"Morning, Mikan-chan," Anna and Nonoko said in unison.
The others nodded at them. Natsume glared at the back of Youichi.
"Do you want me to accompany you to the main office?" Mikan asked Youichi.
"No, it's ok. You already gave me the directions," he replied.
He walked away from the gang but not forgetting to peck Mikan's cheek. That made Natsume to burn in jealousy so he walked to Mikan's side and wrap his hand on her waist. He starts walking her to the class. Mikan's face is tomato red and she didn't even struggle.
When they entered the classroom, everyone stopped what they were doing and stare at the gang. Other girls are still admiring the guys but it's not that loud again because the president, Mikyuu Satoshi, and the vice president, Mitsuki Arashi, of the Campus Hotties Fan Club were kicked out from the Gakuen Alice.
They walked to their seats and sat down. After a few minutes, Narumi skipped into the classroom which made some to sweat dropped.
"Is he really straight?" some students thought.
"Hello my dear students. I have a very, very good news for you," Narumi said, eyes sparkling.
"What is it?" a random boy asked.
"We will be having a new student," he replied.
The class erupt to noises and ask questions.
"Is he a handsome and hot guy?"
"Is the new student a hot chick?"
"Class, settle down. It's a hands-" Narumi stopped when the door slammed open.
"Are you through with your idiotic blabbering? I'm standing there for friggin' 8 minutes," an annoyed silver haired guy with emerald green eyes walked in front of the class.
The girls starts drooling over him and they start screaming.
"Kyaaaa... He's so handsome."
"I wonder if he's single."
"He's surely going to be my boyfriend."
The silver haired lad just glared at them which made him more hot for the girls in the class except from the gang. Mikan and the others just sweat dropped.
Narumi faked a cough and said, "He's our new student. Please introduce yourself."
The green-eyed boy glared at him shortly before facing the class and introduce himself. "Name is Youichi Hijiri. Age 16. And I'm not single so back off."
The girls cried because the said lad was already taken. So they asked him, "Is your girlfriend is studying in this school?"
"Yeah and she's her" Youichi pointed his index finger to a certain brunette.
Silence.
"WHAT?" the class yelled.
"You heard me. And you gay teacher," Youichi looked at Narumi who twitched when he called him 'gay teacher' but he shrugged it off and smiled at Youichi.
"I will sit beside Mikan Y... Mikan Sakura, next to my girlfriend," he almost said her real last name and fortunately no one suspect anything.
"You can sit there now Hijiri-san," Narumi said. "You know my rules, please befriend him" and he left.
The class is in state of shock. They didn't know why their Hyuuga-sama is courting Mkan if she already has a boyfriend. The girls in the class, except from the gang, are envious of Mkan because she's always the one who's getting attentions from the hot guys that they are admiring but they knew that they can't do anything because they don't want to be like Mikyuu and Mitsuki.
Youichi walked up to Mikan who's sitting beside Natsume. He glared at him and Natsume glared back. Youichi sat beside Mikan on her right while Natsume is on her left.
MIkan seems to be suffocating because of the sudden tense atmosphere and she sighed in relief when their friends went up to them.
"Hey!" Yuu said.
They starts chatting and laughing just to ease the two certain lads.
Cafeteria...
Youichi sat beside Mikan on her left this time while Natsume on her right. The atmosphere is thickening again.
"How am I able to breath with this two always glaring or fighting each other?" Mikan thought. She sighed.
Dismissal...
Mikan is walking to the hall towards the History class. She has something to submit to the teacher. She told her friends that they don't have to wait for her but Natsume and Youichi insisted.
When she reached the History class, she knocked 3 times but no one answer. She knocked again but no one respond again. So she turned the knob and it's surprisingly open. She walked to the room and placed a paper on the teacher's table. She hurried out from the room only to be grabbed by someone.
She's surprise and scared. That someone pushed her to the wall and placed his hands on either Mikan's sides. She looked at the one who suddenly grabbed her. She recognized this guy from the senior class. He's her senpai.
"Hello there Mikan-chan," his senpai said huskily that made her terrified.
"W-what are you doing senpai?" Mikan asked, trying not to show any weakness.
"Do you know that I really admire you? Your beauty, your hot body, but you seem to not notice me. You're only looking at that bastard Hyuuga and now I heard that you're the girlfriend of that Hijiri?" he told her angrily.
At the other two guys...
"Why is Polka taking so long?" Natsume thought, worried. He's leaning on the wall while his companion is staring at the ceiling.
"Where is Mikan-chan?" Youichi thought, also getting worried.
"She's supposed to be here 5 minutes ago," Natsume thought, he's getting impatient and more worried.
Youichi is tapping his foot impatiently. Natsume is getting frustrated every second.
"I'm really having a bad feeling about this," Natsume thought. He straightened himself and walked to the hallway on where Mikan walked to.
"Polka seems to be in a trouble," Natsume said.
"How do you know?" Youichi asked.
"Because I know" he replied.
"Hn."
Youichi also followed. They stopped when they heard sobbing.
"Stop! Stop this!" MIkan yelled, hot tears are flowing on her cheeks.
The guys is trying to forcefully kiss her but Mikan is holding his face back as possible.
"Just one kiss would-" the guy was cut off by a punch.
Mikan turned and saw a panting Natsume with Youichi behind him. They are both furious. Their blood is boiling in anger. Youichi walked up to the guy but before he picking the guy up, he said to Natsume, "I think we have at least something to agreed on."
"Yeah," Natsume replied.
When Youichi picked up the guy, Natsume punched him in the stomach. The guy collapsed on his knees but before he hit the ground, Youichi straightened him up gain. Then, Natsume kicked him twice. Youichi let the guy crouched down in pain.
"My turn," Youichi kicked his sides then lift him by holding his collar.
"If you touch Mikan again, I'll make sure I'm going to send you straight to hell!" Youichi hissed. Then, he punched the guy's face that send him flying into the wall.
Natsume walked to the scared and tear stain Mikan.
"It's alright. We're here now. I'm here now. Stop crying," he whispered to her reassuringly.
He hugged her. At that time, he doesn't care if he also got punch by Youichi, her so-called-boyfriend. The important now is to comfort Mikan. She hugged him back.
Youichi stared at them and thought, "Maybe he can protect Mikan but I don't know how much he really loves her. Or if he really loves her."
He walked to them and Natsume broke the hug. He wiped her tears by his thumb before leaving.
"Make sure she's ok," he said while walking, leaving the both of them.
"Are you alright now Mikan-chan?" Youichi asked, he's dead worried because he knows if they didn't come right on time, there's a possibility that something bad might happen to her.
Mikan nodded her head. She wiped her remaining tears. Youichi put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her. They walked to Youichi's car and they drove to Mikan's house in silence.
Youichi is always giving her short worried glances, "She's unusually quiet, but who wouldn't anyways? After what happened, she's maybe having a trauma now," he thought.
He stopped in front of her mansion. Youichi is ready to open his door but Mikan stopped him.
"Youichi," she called out in a quiet voice.
"What is it, Mikan-chan? Youichi asked.
"Promise me that you won't tell the others about what happened earlier," she looked at him with a pleading face.
"Of course I won't tell them. I promise," he smiled reassuringly to her. "But what about Hyuuga?"
"Don't worry I know that he's not going to tell them," she said.
"How do you know?" he asked.
"Because I know," she smiled brightly to him and opened the door in her passenger side. She got out.
"Good night, You-chan."
"Good night Mikan-chan."
She shut the door and walked inside her mansion. Youichi stayed for a few moments, staring blankly into space.
"Why do they seem to know each other very well? Are they really that close to each other?" he thought thinking about today's events. After thinking some things, he finally drove away.
The day after...
Narumi entered the class and the students went back to their seats.
"Class, your art teacher asked me a favor and I want you to listen," he happily said.
The class stopped what the were doing and looked at Narumi.
"She wants you to be partner up with someone and you have to draw your favorite hang out. It supposed to be within the school," he gave them instructions.
One by one, the students went up to the front and pick something from a black hat on the table which contains the names of their partners.
Mikan went up to the front and she picked a paper. She walked back to her seat and unfolded the paper. She looked shocked when she read the paper.
"Natsume Hyuuga," she whispered to herself.
"Guys, partner up now and you have an hour to finish this activity. Good luck and see you later," Narumi twirled out the room.
The students partnered up. Some of the partners are: Ruka Nogi and Hotaru Imai, Sumire Shouda and a random girl, Misaki Harada and Tsubasa Andou, Kokoro Yome and Kitsuneme Yome, Anna Umenomiya and Nonoko Ogasawara, Yuu Tobita and Youichi Hijiri, and lastly... Natsume Hyuuga and Mikan Sakura.
Natsume smirked to himself. "So Polka is my partner, eh?"
Youichi strolled towards Natsume and threatened him, "Touch my girl and I'm going to break your neck."
"Youichi sure is good at acting," the girls thought.
"Hn," Natsume's usual reponse. "You wouldn't see anyway because I'm going to take her far away from you," he thought.
They all run out from the classroom and separate ways.
"I'm going to the Sakura Garden," Mikan said cheerfully.
"Me too," Natsume replied.
"I thought you're going to answer me with your usual 'hn' or 'whatever'. Are you sick?" she joked. She touched Natsume's forehead which made him a bit red.
"Let's go," he said.
They head towards the Sakura Garden and they spotted the most beautiful and biggest Sakura tree. Mikan quickly sat on the green grass under the shade of the Sakura tree. She starts to draw 'their' tree with bright smile on her face.
Natsume blushed a little when he caught himself staring at the brunette. Then, he also began to draw.
Somewhere...
"It's confirm boss. Mikan Sakura is becoming dear to him," a man said, talking to someone on the phone.
"Carry out our 'little plan'," said by person on the other line.
"Yes, boss," the man shut his phone.
Sakura Garden after 35 minutes...
"I'm done," Mikan beamed.
"You're so slow. I'm done 10 minutes ago," Natsume boasted. Mikan just glared at him for a second and the went back to her happy face.
"But there's not much difference," she reasoned.
"Whatever," he replied boringly.
"I have to go to the restroom for a minute, I'll be back," she stood up and was about to walk away.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
"Why do I suddenly feel...nervous...and scared?" Natsume thought. He held Mikan's wrist, preventing her from walking away.
"Eh? What is it, Natsume?" she asked.
"Oh! Umm... nothing," he let go her hand and inside he felt like he's also going to lose her. He watched her retreating figure.
Outside of the bathroom...
When Mikan stepped out the bathroom, she saw a guy leaning on the wall. He looked at her and smiled handsomely.
"Are you Mikan Sakura?" he asked.
"Umm... yeah... Who are-" she was cut off when someone behind her clamped her mouth by a cloth. She struggles but she began to get dizzy.
"That's a drug to put someone on sleep. Who are they? Why are they doing this?" she thought. Her vision is starting to get blurry.
"Natsume," she murmured before she completely blacked out.
