Chapter 1: Encounter
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice
RRRRRRIIIINNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Yay! Finally class ended!" Sakura Mikan, the 13 year old brunette squealed happily after Jinno-sensei's class ended without any detention for her like usual. All the other students in the class exited the class, hoping to have a nice sleep in their own rooms. Except Mikan and her other 3 classmates.
Hyuuga Natsume, who was sitting next to her, is smirking at her cheery behavior.
"Oi, Polka." He called Mikan's nickname. Mikan twitched.
"How many times have I told you not to call me 'Polka'?! My name is Mikan! M-I-K-A-N!!" she emphasized her own name in irritation.
Natsume just smirked. "Well, that's the nickname I gave you according to your underwear. You should have get used to it,"
Nogi Ruka blushed. Mikan's vein got bigger by seconds.
"You really wanna eat my punch, do you!" she tried to punch Natsume in the face, but failed. Natsume has dodged her attack easily. His smirk went wide.
"What's that, Polka dots? Is that even a punch?" he continuously dodged Mikan's useless attack.
After a while, Mikan panted heavily. She had lost in her own fight.
"Please stop, Sakura-san. It's useless against Natsume," Ruka chuckled as went to exit the classroom door with his best friend.
"He's right," Natsume smirked. Mikan glared at him hardly.
"Hotaru! Let's go back together!" she said happily, turning to her best friend.
Her best friend wasn't at her seat. Mikan's eyes widened. She rushed to Hotaru's seat.
"Hotaru, where are you! Don't leave me alone here!" she looked for Hotaru under her desk, inside the desk (as if hotaru is there) and everywhere.
Mikan gave up. Then she realized it. "D-don't tell me... she left me alone and go back by herself?!" (she's so slow)
Mikan cried waterfalls. Just then she noticed a little note on Hotaru's desk. It read:
Mikan, I'll go back to my lab today.
I've got tons of works with my new invention.
Gomen ne, Mikan.
If you're afraid by yourself, ask Natsume to accompany you.
By: Imai Hotaru
Mikan tear the paper, crumpled it in exasperation, dropped it on the floor and stomped on it angrily. "Damn you Hotaru!! Like hell I would ask Natsume to accompany me!!"
She sighed in defeat and finally exited the classroom.
Mikan walked to her dorm by herself until she passed Natsume's favorite Sakura tree. She saw that the Sakura tree bloomed beautifully this year. She looked around for any signs of her enemy (Natsume). She felt relieved he wasn't there.
She decided to take a break and sat under the tree. She sighed again.
"That Hotaru... why did she always do this to me? Am I not her best friend?" she mumbled and plucked the grass and threw it away.
Feeling depressed, she broke down into tears.
After a few minutes of sobbing, she realized the sky had slowly begun to get dark. She wiped her tears. Just as she raised herself, she heard a twig snapped. Her head snapped to the direction of the sound. Her eyes went wider as she heard footsteps coming nearer.
"Wh-who's there?" she asked in fear. She imagined a lion came into view and eats her alive.
A human body came into view and lastly an unknown face. A face of a girl. Mikan shrieked.
"AHHHH!!! Don't eat me!! I'm not tasty!" Mikan began to run away but the girl quickly grabbed her left arm.
"Hey don't shout! I'm not gonna eat you!" the girl assured her, smiling.
"Eh?" Mikan looked at the girl. She had long black hair that reached her butt. She had black shiny eyes that will make any guy to fall for her. And she also had an angelic face. She is indeed... pretty. She also wore middle school uniform.
"A-ano... Who are you? I have never seen you before. Are you new here?" Mikan asked.
"Well yeah. I'm kinda lost, so I don't know where I am," she answered, smiling. Mikan blushed a little. She stared at the new girl in awe.
"She's so... beautiful... I'm not someone to compare with her beauty..."
"What's wrong?" the girl asked as she noticed Mikan had stared at her. Mikan snapped out of her reverie.
"Ah, I'm sorry! I-I shouldn't have stared at you! I can't help it, you're so pretty... no! I mean... you are a pretty girl... no! I mean.." Mikan stuttered.
The girl stared at her for 5 seconds. Then she giggled. Mikan looked at her in bewilderment.
"H-hey! What's so funny?"
"No, it's nothing! It's funny to see your expression."
"Ha?"
"By the way, I'm Taki Ayumi. Nice to meet you," she smiled.
"Umm... Taki-san..."
"Call me Ayumi."
"Ayumi... why do you move here?"
"My parents had a new job here, so they transferred me in this school. It's my first time here, so I don't quite know my whereabouts here,"
"Oh... oh yeah I forgot! My name is Sakura Mikan," Mikan laughed nervously.
"I saw you were crying just now... what happened?"
Mikan shocked. "You saw that? So embarrassing..." Mikan rubbed her head.
Mikan told her everything, including Natsume.
"Hmm... so that was it..."
"Yeah, Hotaru is really a cold person, and Natsume is a pervert!"
"I can help you so that they won't do things like that to you again," she offered, smiling. There's some hidden meanings behind her smile.
"Really?! You will help me?!" Mikan held her hands and her eyes starry.
"Yeah, I will. Firstly, you must..." Ayumi appeared behind Mikan in a flash. She pulled out an injector and injected Mikan's back neck. Mikan felt her head spinning and her legs became heavy.
"Wh-what happen... I feel sleepy..." those were her last thoughts before she collapsed on the ground.
Taki Ayumi appeared smirking and her eyes were less shiny and looked dark.
"Fufufufufufu... you are my first victim today, Sakura Mikan. I've got your DNA here... don't worry, I will not waste it... and now you will not wake up in 48 hours."
Inserting her injector in her pocket skirt, she pulled Mikan's body and dragged her far into the hidden bush.
She smiled her angelic smile once again in satisfaction. "People won't find you here..."
Then she walked off, leaving Mikan dozing in the bush.
