Reverse the Promise, Reverse the Tears ch. 3

The silver haired lad stood in front of Alice Academy, grinning plainly. His alices, the frost and nightmare alice, already seemed to prove that he was not someone to mess with. He looked around and mused, "So I'm to capture this Mikan Sakura?" he paused, his grin widening. "And, of course, destroy this school from the inside." He waited, tapping his foot, and he touched the gate casually. It did not affect him because of his partner's Barrier Alice. Hmm. Interesting. This is an electrocution gate. He blinked, frost appearing instantly on the wall. With a quick jump, he landed on the other side. A girl, dressed in what seemed to be a white kimono, though up to the knees, quickly followed.

Her hair was pale auburn and her eyes were silvery-white in colour. Souhi turned to the girl. "Shiro, what took you so long?" Shiro, the girl's name, smiled plainly. "Let's go, Souhi." Souhi rolled his eyes. "You know, White Swan? Are you going to introduce yourself as Shiro or by your real name?" he teased. The girl laughed her voice like a chime. "Of course by my real name." Souhi's eyes danced, a boyish grin plastered on his face, and then bowed low, his hands behind his back. "After you then, Lady Kumi Sae."

Sae smiled sweetly and broke into a run towards the junior division. Her steps were graceful and gently, but fast and fierce, thus given the name White Swan, but by her friends, Shiro. Souhi gave a loud whistle to his partner and he too, began to run.

Narumi-sensei stepped into the classroom of his favourite class. He clapped his hands joyfully, "Oh! My beautiful students! We have two new glorious students today. Please make them feel welcome and show them everlasting love!"

Souhi came in, and all the girls shrieked. He put his hand through his silver hair, his green orbs devoid of interest.

"Mizuiki Souhi, alice of frost and nightmare." He stared right at Sae, as she was making her way inside the classroom. Boy looked at her with hearts in their eyes. Her silver-white orbs landed on Sakura Mikan, and she smiled gently. "Kumi Sae, reverse alice, memory alice and sleep alice." Her eyes had a trace of frost. Narumi clapped his hands more cheerfully this time. "Oh, elegant, elegant you are, Kumi-san. How mysterious you are, Mizuiki-kun!" He too, looked around the class." Feel free to choose your own seats, you two." Almost every girl and boy's hands shot up.

Souhi's gaze landed on the empty seat next to Mikan, which belonged to Natsume. He breathed out. "Hey, is that seat free?" All heads swiveled to Mikan Sakura, who turned deep red. "Um…" Sumire stood up, feeling the need to defend her idol, even though if this boy was hot. "That seat belongs to Natsume-kun! Only he can sit there!" Sae, disturbed and annoyed at all the noise, pointed out icily, "Well, he's not here now, is he?" The class flinched at her coldness except for Hotaru. Souhi groaned and remarked in a husky voice, "He's definitely not coming. Just let me sit there." Because nobody knew what to say, he made his way to the seat, with a smirk on his face. Sae peered around and then stopped at Hotaru. The seats next to her were empty. She strolled closer to the inventor, her auburn hair flowing gracefully behind her. She paused at Hotaru. The inventor looked amused and nodded. "Feel free, Kumi."

Sae sat down and smiled darkly at Hotaru. "You have the alice of invention." Hotaru looked surprised for a while, and then quickly gained her composure. Narumi cheered and clapped his hands again for the third time. "Superb! Very well, then. Imai, why don't you be Kumi-san's partner?" Hotaru merely nodded and smirked. "Fifteen rabbits a day." She declared, eyes glittering. Everyone sweatdropped. Sae sat back in her seat and thought. This school is not as bad as I thought it would be. It doesn't seem… worth destroying. She glanced back at Souhi, who was smirking at Mikan. Hotaru smiled a small smile at Sae. "Thanks to you, I'll be earning 15 rabbits a day." Narumi gulped and whispered. "Ruka-kun, why don't you be partners with Mizuiki-kun?" He smiled weakly. "I've left you with some work, but other than that, class dismissed."

Sae turned to the amethyst-eyed girl beside her. "Where is the Bla-, um, Hyuuga Natsume?" Hotaru grimaced darkly and angrily. "Who cares about that arrogant jerk?" Sae nodded, though her silvery-white orbs shone like moonlight. Her auburn hair curled up at the ends, making her frame and figure so beautiful. Mikan walked up to the gorgeous girl and smiled her dazzling smile. "Hi! Sae-chan, right? I'm Mikan Sakura. Just call me Mikan." Hotaru shot her with her Baka Gun. "Baka, can't you see that she has no interest of being friends with you?" Sae's silvery eyes gleamed and she nodded, to much of the brunette's dismay. "Yes, I'm Sae. Don't use honourifics." Mikan mutely nodded, though excitement was shown clearly in her face. Souhi strutted up to them. "Hey." He turned to Mikan. "So, who is this… Natsume, the guy who had the seat I took?" He grinned, revealing his crooked tooth. The brunette blushed. "Uh-yeah. His name is Hyuuga Natsume, and he has the alice of fire." Souhi nodded, unexcited. He looked at Hotaru with interest. "Oh, hey, you're Hotaru Imai?" Sae nodded for the inventor. "Yes, of course." Her lips parted and she closed them again. Souhi nodded, a tint of red evident in his cheeks. Hotaru whipped out her camera and took shots in every angle.

"Wha-" Sae rolled her silvery eyes. "This girl is a blackmailer," she announced quietly. Souhi smiled cheekily and teased. "That's perfect, Sae. You two are so alike." He turned to Hotaru and pointed to Sae. "She is an amazing hacker." Hotaru's eyebrows shot up."Interesting." she looked amused and pursed her lips. "Good."

The nullifier laughed. Sae turned to Souhi. "Let's go." She gathered her books and smiled faintly at the group. "Goodbye." Souhi followed his partner in amusement. They left, the door slowly creaking its way shut, revealing the face of a boy. With crimson eyes.

Hotaru, of course, was the only one who noticed that those crimson eyes belonged to Natsume. She stood up hastily, Baka Gun in hand. Ruka turned to Hotaru with a confused look. He stood up too, following the inventor's lead. Mikan looked up. "What? Why is everyone standing up?" she smiled, the smiled that everybody loved. Hotaru thought. Mikan would be depressed and all moody if she saw Natsume. The idiot.

"Nothing, you idiot, of course. I'm leaving you alone. You're so noisy that I need some peace and quiet." She said with a shrug. Before the brunette could protest, she stepped out the room in one move. Ruka, unsure of what to do and say, stood still, without any eye contact with the brunette, his crush, next to him.

Natsume tapped his foot. He knew the Ice Queen would come and have a 'talk' with him any moment. He was right. A jet-black haired girl with glamourous amethyst orbs strolled up to him. Sure, Hotaru was pretty, but nowhere compared to Mikan. Mikan was undescribable. She had straight long hair of a brunette's which curled softly at the ends. Her hazel eyes were full of light and…life. Something the white Swan had not. She was decent too, but she looked so bored. He had met her and the Frozen Nightmare at the last meeting. Her eyes flashed dangerously as she gave her icy glare.

"What do you want?" hissed Hotaru. Her eyes glared too. The flame caster looked around. "Where's Ruka?" Hotaru sneered at the lad. "Hurry up and apologize. That's all I'm going to say" She whirled around and trotted off, not before hitting the flame caster with her Baka Gun. Natsume narrowed his eyes and mumbled. "The White Swan-" The inventor looked at him behind her shoulder, turning a bit. Her look was showing amusement in her violet orbs. He turned, hands in pockets. "Keep an eye out for Pigtails, especially from the boy." This time it was Natsume who left first, not Hotaru. The Blackmailer grinned, something she didn't usually do. "White Swan and Frozen Nightmare, eh?"

Nobara stared at the new pair. She couldn't believe that the white Swan was right in front of her. She was the strongest female alice user. Her partner, the Frozen Nightmare, was equally as amazing. She bowed a bit, her icy-blue hair cascading down. The lad nodded. "Mizuiki Souhi." Shiro looked at Nobara and nodded, to the Ice Princess's surprise. "Kumi Sae. Call me Shiro." Nobara beamed. She knew only friends could call her Shiro.

"Um…Ibaragi Nobara, alice of ice. Um, Shiro-chan, just call me Nobara." Slivery-white orbs twinkled. "Alice of reverse, memory and sleep. Also strong in Barrier alice." Souhi stared at his partner, baffled. She didn't mind if this Ice Princess used honourifics and she told someone of her Barrier alice. Nobara is going to be friends with Shiro in no time. Shiro picked up this thought and turned to Nobara. "Where's my room?" She smiled a small smile and followed her new friend. Souhi groaned and muttered. "Now I'm all alone." A sudden husky voice alarmed him. There stood Hyuuga Natsume, the Black Cat, with his messy raven locks. Souhi sneered. "Oh? What do you want?" The flame caster spoke sharply, with a mixture of hatred and anger in his voice. "I know that firl, the white swan, is innocent, but you…You…"

His nose flared in anger. "The White Swan may not want to capture Mikan, but you intend to kill her. Kill her!" His hands curled into a fist and he hissed dangerously. "You touch her and you're dead!" He walked off, emitting a dangerous aura. Souhi smiled inwardly. This seems interesting. You're on, Black Cat. Unknownst to them, this thought and conversation with Natsume, did not go unknown to a pale auburn haired girl, Kumi Sae.
