I don't own Gakuen Alice. Enjoy the chapter...
*Pant*….*Pant*….*Pant*
"Where am I?" I kept asking that question in my mind. It is true. I don't know where I am right now. All I can see is darkness and I have been running like this like….forever and there's no end….
"How did I get in here?"
Suddenly, a cliff appeared out of no where and the weirdest thing is I can't stop. Oh my god, I'm gonna fall. I shut my eyes tightly, ready for the impact.
Splash….
"Eh? That's weird…Why is there water here?" I thought as I looked down my eyes got widen. Red….The color of fire and also the color of…blood. That time, I realized I was in the middle of a sea of blood. But not any ordinary sea. There were corpses floating on the water's surface…I thought that they were all dead. But no. They looked at me with their red bloody eyes as they started to get closer to me….
"Get away from me." I screamed at the top of my lung but they still tried to get closer to me. I splashed the water to them. It was no use.
Finally, they took my hands and my legs. "No, let go of me." I shout but they slowly pulled me down in order to get me drown in this sea of blood…
"F-Fall int-into the darkness and loneliness…" That was they told me
"NO"
Suddenly, a boy with red eyes appeared in front of me . Disgusting…Troublesome…
That is the thing I hear from him before darkness takes control of me once more.
Mikan's POV
"Ah…" I sat up immediately. My body was covered in sweat and my hand couldn't stop trembling. What a terrible nightmare. "How come I keep dreaming about blood and a boy with the same eyes color?" I mumbled as I looked at the clock. 5.30am
"So early…" I said with a sigh. "Oh well, better be ready or grandpa will scold me again." With that, I got out of the bed and did my morning routine.
Hello everybody, my name is Mikan Sakura. I'm 17 years old. However, when people met me, they said that I looked like I was only 15 because I'm too young. And also, because of my personalities. I am described as a happy-go-lucky girl and a girl who has the most beautiful smile. Some people said that I look like a beauty or a model. I don't blame them that. And I don't want to talk about my appearance. You just have to know I have a brunette hair which reaches to my waist and hazel eyes. However, appearance is not the thing which we can judge.. in a person. The most important thing is the soul. That was my grandfather told me. Yes. I'm currently living with my grandfather for….I don't know, 5 years? ….. And today, I'm going to school after a long time. Well, it's hard to get a full scholarship of a top school Alice Academy. My hard work (Reading books in the library) has been paid off…Thank god!
It's maybe a little weird but ever since I got back in here, I always have this strange dream about a boy with his red blood eyes. However, I only remembered his eyes, not his face. Maybe because his eyes stood out so much in the darkness. Who knows….But do I know him? What did I do? Why did he have to haunt me in my dream? Is there any message?...Thousand of questions have appeared in my head but I never found the answers. Actually, everyday, I felt like I was missing something. Something which was very important. Or rather, someone…Nevertheless, what is it? If it was my parents, grandpa told me that they worked abroad and would come back…I never saw or remembered the face of them. Why?
The thing is I have lost pieces of memories ever since my childhood. What do they call it?
.
.
.
.
I know it.
.
.
.
.
I definitely know it.
.
.
.
.
Just give me some more time.
.
.
.
.
Ugh. Wait, ….almost… got …it.
.
.
.
.
….Ah, right, amnesia. Temporarily losing memory. I told you I remembered it. Yes, it's true. I have amnesia. I think that was the thing my grandpa told me….But I don't care. I'm going to live my life to the fullest. Who know what will happen in the future, right?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh my, it's 6 .15 already? I have to get ready.
I quickly took my Alice Academy's uniform and wore it. I personally think that the uniform is cute. It has a V-neck white T-shirt and a logo of the school on my left chest 'GA'. Also, I'm a second year student so I have a blue skirt and a blue tie. At least it's not red….After I finished, I ran down to the kitchen and prepared breakfast.
"Good morning, Mikan." My grandpa said as he stretched his arms.
"Good morning, grandpa" I said with a smile.
"You are early today…"
"Today is my first day to school. Of course I have to get up early."
"Ah, finally, a day when my granddaughter goes to school and leaves me behind. So lonely."
"How can you say that, grandpa? I will never leave you."
"Yeah. So what do we have today?"
"Scrambled eggs."
"Eh…But I don't want to eat it anymore. I'm sick of it.." He complained
"But it's good for your health so you have to eat it." I protested
"No." He said firmly So stubborn
"Fine, if you don't want to eat it, I will throw it away. You don't love your granddaughter. She cooks you breakfast and you throw it away. All of my hard work is for nothing" I said as miserable as I can, adding some more tears to it. He looked at me and heaved a sigh.
"Okay, I will eat it."
"Yay, I love you grandpa." I said happily. Actually, I know grandpa can't resist when I said that. I'm a pure genius and actor.
"You little monster." He said as he ruffled my hair. And I sat down to eat with him.
"It's time for me to go." I looked at the clock. 7.00. One hour before the school starts. I got to the door and wore my shoes.
"Leaving so soon?"
"I want to see the school so I have to leave early." I waved and at the same time, beamed at him. He nodded and smiled back at me.
"Oh, I almost forgot" I said as I turned around and kissed my grandpa's cheek.
"See you again…." With that, I closed the door. What I didn't know it after I left, grandpa went back to his room, opened a locker and took out a picture. It was a picture of a happy family and was taken 8 years ago, when everything was still so perfect….He looked at it and a tear fell on the frame.
"Izumi, Yuka, your daughter,….she is really hard-working and is becoming more beautiful…just like you…But I can't tell her the truth about the accident, about that…If she knows about it, will she accept it and continue smiling? Please, help her, Izumi, Yuka….Please…."
Still Mikan's POV
As I was walking down the street…
"Mikan…" A voice called out.
"Good morning, Kana-san" I greeted her with a smile. Kana Ueda have been my neighbor ever since I lived with my grandpa. She is really nice, caring and has a good singing voice. She is like a sister to me and I want to be like her someday. (A/n: If you remember, Kana Ueda is Mikan's seiyuu)
"So you are going to school starting from today?" She asked
"Yes."
"Finally, my little sister goes to school…"She said as she hugged me really tight.
"I-I ca-can't..br-breath, K-ka-" I choked out
"Oh sorry. I got too happy.. It's not like everyday I can see you wearing uniform like this. You look beautiful" I blushed
"But remember: Stay away from the boys."
"I got it, Kana-san."
"Oww, I don't want you to grow up and go to school. I want you to remain as my little sister forever…"
"I will always be your little sister, Kana-san. I will always be. Even how old I am…" She just smiled warmly at me.
"That's the Mikan I know." She said as she kissed my forehead. "Now go to school or you will be late. It's already 8 am"
"Okay" I said "See you again, Kana-san"
She only waved back at me with a smile.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh, right, Kana-san…" I called out for her
"Hm?"
"It's only 7 am so I will not be late."
"Oh, my bad." She said as she scratched her head "I should change my clock. Damn that clock.*sigh*.Anyways, be a good girl and have fun"
"Yes, I will"
"A far as I know, Alice Academy is a school for gifted student. It was built long time ago and there are many people who studied there become famous in the future. If not, at least they are success in their job…" I mumbled to myself. "I wonder if I can fit with them."
Because I was busy mumbling to herself, I didn't see the gate and bumped into it. As a result, I fell down.
"Ouch, that hurts.." I whined "Oh, I get to school already…"
In front of me, there was a huge golden gate with 'Gakuen Alice'. Inside, I can see many buildings. Somehow, I felt. Luckily, the gate opened so I walked in. The first thing came to my mind was "So big". It is true. This school maybe can have 100,000 students from different age. Then suddenly, I saw something in my mind….
A girl about 6 years old tugging the skirt of a woman.
"Mommy, mommy…"
"Yes, dear.."
"Where are we?"
"This is the school you are going to study"
"So big…"
"That's right. Now go in, I have a meeting to attend."
"Eh..That's mean I'm going to stay here alone?"
"Yes."
"No, I don't want to…."
"Don't worry. He is going to study here with you."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll study here, too."
"What's that? Who is he?" I mumbled as I remembered about those memories. "That's mean I have studied here before? Maybe I need something to make me remember"
Then I saw a map on the nearby table. Maybe it's for new student. As I took it and looked at it, my eyes got widen. "Wow, this has elementary school building, middle school building high school building. And they are all separated. It even has a cafeteria and forests. How cool is that" However, looking at the map didn't help me a bit. So I decided to walk around a bit. Somehow, I felt everything here was so familiar, so nostalgic. It is like I have studied here before. "Maybe that dream is true. I have studied here before. But why everything is so-"
Silence…
.

*Look around*

"Okay, where am I?" I asked myself. As I can see, I am in the middle of somewhere I don't even know and it's not in the map. Damn it. How can I find the way back? Oh right, how can I get here? That's the problem.
Suddenly, I tripped on something and I began to fall. I looked behind me and saw wall which full of tree strings. Not again. Just like what happen in my dream. But I didn't feel any impact except for a 'Thud'. Huh? I opened my eyes and saw that I was lying on the grass. Half of my body was inside and the other was outside. "Oh, just like a secret hide out. So curious."
I stood up and walked deeper. By the time I felt the warmth and the shiny of the sunlight on my face, I have reached the place. A lake. Not a sea of blood. Thank god. It was definitely more beautiful and more peaceful than in my dream. Suddenly, I remembered something.
Flashback
A girl about 8 years old was running to her best friend, who had red eyes. Again with the boy with red eyes.
"…..-kun" She called out
"What?"
"Come with me…I have something to show you."
With that, she forced him to go with her, much to his annoyance. And the next thing he knew, they were standing in front of a lake.
"So beautiful…" He said
"I know. I just discover this not too long ago."
"How can you find out?"
"I was lost and tripped and the next thing I know, I found this place…."
"How clumsy…."
"Hey"
"But because of that clumsiness, you can find this place."
"So…." She said shyly "This will be our secret hide-out, okay?"
"Whatever…."
End flashback
"Where did that come from?" I asked myself "Who is that boy?" Then something caught my eyes. In the middle of the green color, there was pink. Light pink. Like it was…
I walked to that place and let out a smile just by looking at it. "…A sakura tree." I touched it and my head started to hurt again.
Flashback
"So, for us to remember this place, I will write our name on a tree." That girl said again
"Which tree?" That boy asked.
She looked around a bit then her eyes landed on a thing. It was a sakura tree.
"Oh my gosh, a sakura tree…" She shouted
"What? I don't know this place has a sakura tree…."
"There it is. Can you see it?"
"No."
"Oh, come on." With that, they ran to the tree.
'So pretty…." The little girl was busy admiring and staring at the tree made the boy got mad.
"So are you going to write our names on it or just standing there looking at it all day?"
"Sorry." Then she opened a pen and write 'NxM' on it
End flashback
"Just who is he? How can I not remember him, also his face?" I said to myself as the bell rang… "What? Is it already time for school? Shoot, I'm late."
And I ran away but before that, I looked at the tree again. "I'll definitely find out more about this place and that 'NxM'. What's that suppose to mean?" With that, I disappeared behind those tree string unaware of a stare of a person sitting on the branch.
Someone's POV
"Is she really her?" I thought as I looked at her figure. "It can't be her, she left me years ago"
Then she said about something like his face and his name and 'NxM'. How can she know about it? Only me and her know. After she got away, I jumped down from the tree and touched the word which was engraved on the tree. That girl, she doesn't see it but still knows about it, the proof of our friendship.
Flashback
"'NxM' What kind of word is that?" He asked annoyingly
"It stands for Natsume and Mikan. This will be the proof of our friendship and also a promise to be together forever."
"It's kind of …cheesy"
"No, it's not."
"Eh…Who knows you could be this good?"
"Mou, Natsume no baka." She pouted. "So promise?"
"Promise…"
With that, they made a pinky swear under the witness of the tree itself.
End flashback
"But in the end, you still left me, you broke the promise…." I said humorless "….Just because of me…My fault…."
I rested my head on the tree. "Please come back Mikan,….please come back…"
At the same time.
"Where am I?" Mikan shouted. "I'm lost. How can I get out of this place? Somebody, save me…Waaaaaaaaa"

Hello everybody.
So how do you think?
First, Mikan knows that she has amnesia so she can regain her memories faster than other.
Second, it's not my fault that i have many grammar mistakes. I'm just too lazy to find it and correct it
Last, thank for reading.^^
