Chapter 2 Mysterious Meeting

Discalimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice!

" So in other words, the A.D. village was a mystery till now, and no one knows about it?" Mara said

" Yes, they certainly don't want outsiders to know about that village…" Principal Yukihara said

" Don't you think it's a warning ?" Yoichi said while munching a blueberry muffin he found at the coffee table on the side. It was his third muffin already, he was just eating while the two are having conversation, he was too hungry to intervene before.

The Principal gazed at him

" I mean think about it, why will they went so far as to killing him if it's all about that village? With his situation, they can probably let him go, assuming he's nothing more but a crazy badger, but no, they have to kill him, in a most barbaric way even, stabbing him by the knife would be alright, but they didn't, they made him suffer, why would they do that?" Yoichi continued while munching, he was obviously pointing something.

Mara looked at her fiancée, with unreadable eyes, then she trailed " He has a point Principal, I'm sure you already got it, I already grasped the fact why you're not sending any rescue party in there, but why does the academy continue to lose lots of students? Didn't you warn them? "

The Principal just shook his head, he sighed " the students here are very daring, their curiosity is overpowering them, and there are a lots of students who are dared to go there, we warned them, but they wouldn't listen.. in the end, they all went missing" he said in disdain.

" Stubborn frilly idiots…" Yoichi mumbled

Mara sighed " Young people these days are so hard to control, the more you forbid them, the more they got curious….. such a shame though, anyway Principal, after the incident, I assume you didn't send any rescue party troops"

" Yup, then after that, I warned the student body, especially the highschool division if they have any plans in going there, I left the gory details of course as to not to scare them. Although I will very much appreciate it if I know where on earth is my family and give them a good scolding for worrying me." The Principal mumbled emotionlessly….

Suddenly, Mara looked at her watch, it was her time to leave…

She looked at her fiancée, who was eating his fifth muffin already munching it while drinking some iced tea, she gave her fiancée a I-need-to-go now look, he nodded but gave her a I-need-to-finish-the-food-first look. She nodded then turned her head to the Principal. " Principal, thank you for letting me have this opportunity to meet you, as much as I want to extend my time with you, I can't, I have other appointments that I need to attend to, thank you very much for sharing this with me, rest assured that your privacy is protected here….." She assured him with a confident smile.

He nodded, then he said " Thank you for meeting you as well, Javellana san, and Hijiri san, I hope that you can help me send this message through the abstract explanation in your scoop ". Then he bowed.

Yoichi bowed, Mara wanted to shake his hand since that was how Canadians pay respect, but Yoichi suddenly put his hand on her back, she was about to snap at him, but with a quick movement, he shoved my back down, causing me to bow as well…

Then Yoichi pulled her blouse therefore she jerked upward, causing her to stand straight again. She glared at him but he ignored her…..

He smoothly said " Thank you for your time Principal Yukihara " Then he dragged me out of the building then out of the road, then out of the gates where his car was parked on the side.

" What was that about? " She asked him

" In here, you have to bow to show respect, it's how we greet, say goodbye, apologize, and sometimes give thanks he said ( erm, just correct me if I'm wrong about this, I just noticed it from watching anime )

Yoichi grabbed his fiancée's arm and he sped towards his car, ignoring the guard who bid them goodbye, he immediately went inside his car, Mara did the same, when she closed the door, Yoichi sighed " Now I see, Mare was the one who kidnapped those three kids, but I wonder why….."

Mara suddenly got serious " He's obviously planning something of course…"

" Taunting students, filling in their curiosity, it's obvious he wants to continue the cycle of missing students, but the question is, when will he stop? And why is he doing these? "

" That's why we're going to meet him…" Mara answered

Yoichi didn't say a word, he started the engine then drove in a lightning speed…

In the hidden outskirts of Tokyo, a mini coffee shop can be seen, only a few people stop by on this street, mostly because of the location of the place, but for some mysterious people, this will be a good meeting place if they don't want any meddling people to be hovering around them….

On the left side corner booth sat a young man, he was about 18 years old, he has blond hair and face that was carved by angels, but his eyes show no emotion or feelings, he was sipping his coffee silently, while reading some papers, he looked like he was waiting for someone, actually he was the only customer at the shop at the time, but the owner paid no attention, he just continued wiping the cups that will be displayed in front of the counter…..

After a few minutes, the door suddenly opened, and revealed Mara and Yoichi,

Yoichi scanned his eyes on the shop, when he saw the gorgeous blond guy, he smiled and went through the booth we're he's in, Mara tailing behind him….

The blond guy raised his beautiful face up to them, showing no emotion, he motioned them to sit down, the two people sat down, then he called the owner of the shop to serve them some coffee….

" It's been a while Ruka….. Sorry to keep you waiting…" Yoichi stated

The blonde just nodded " It's alright, I'm just reading some of the companies papers before I sign it…" He said in an alluring but lifeless voice

Mara glanced at the papers then smirked " I see, you owned another company again, does it belong to the Hitsudaima family? I heard from the Principal that he's been missing for quite some time now, is he one of those people who are bold enough to expose you?….."

Ruka just nodded " Yes, and we took care of him properly… "

" Seems like Mr. Mare has been entertained by his boldness….."Yoichi mumbled

Again, Ruka just nodded

" How is everyone at the A.D. village Ruka?….."

" They're just fine….. almost doing the same thing….."

" Is Mikan still not allowed to go out of the house?…" Mara asked

" Yep, dad is still adamant about it…"

" Still the same old Izumi, when will he accept that his little girl is already a young lady?" She sighed

Suddenly, Ruka looked at them

" Mara san, you want to ask something that's why you want to meet me don't you?"

She smirked wider " Still as observant as ever, well Ruka my dear, yes, the Alice Academy will be having a summer break 2 days from now, I was just thinking that maybe, just maybe, some people may be bold enough to traverse that godforsaken village of yours…."

Ruka focused his blue orbs on her " I don't know, Mr. Mare hadn't paid us a visit though…."

" I have a feeling for this Ruka, and believe me, my instincts are never wrong….." She said mysteriously

Ruka shuddered " Yeah, she never was….. " He thought

" Ruka, do you have any plans of stopping this madness?" Yoichi intervenedut oriyl

" Look, Yoichi san, we have to-"

" I know, I know , but this always happens, when is he going to stop? -"

Mara looked at her fiancée, forbidding him to continue

Yoichi understood this and he stopped

Mara then faced Ruka " It's ok Ruka, you may go now, I know we've been holding you from your trip….. just say hello to them from us ok?" She smiled

Ruka nodded to them, then he fluidly stood from his chair, leaving the bill on the table with his empty cup, then stepped out of the shop

Mara looked at his retreating back, at first glance you may think he's walking alone, but if you looked closely, he was walking together with others whose cloaks are the same colour as the walls surrounding the street, making these others almost invisible to the naked eye….

She heard Yoichi sighed beside her

" Yoichi, don't put out your frustrations on him, it's not their fault in the first place….."

Yoichi just remained silent

" I know, Mr. Mare is a playful devil, but at our position, all we can do now is watch…"

" I know, but when will he stop? What's with the Alice Academy that makes him loathe the school so much? That made him to desire the entire obliteration of the whole population of the academy?"

Mara just looked at the window on her left, then sipped her coffee, that I don't know, my love, but one thing's for sure, some people will become the victims of that village….."

Yoichi looked her, her fiancée never makes mistakes in her feelings and instincts

" But I have a feeling that those three might change some course of fate that Mare has planned…." She thought silently
