This is the last chapter of this story…. Hope you guys will like the ending
Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice but this story is mine…
'10 years has passed since that incident and everyone is already 21 years old. Today is the graduation day and everyone is very happy as they can finally leave the Gakuen.' Narumi thought about it as he walked towards Class B's homeroom.
True enough, every graduate is very happy to graduate from the Gakuen and stepped into the working life. However, the atmosphere in Class B is a total different case. Although they were glad to graduate, it still does not seem the same as before.
Ever since they receive the news from Narumi that Mikan, Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka were dead, they had been the quietest class in the Gakuen. They spent almost 1 whole semester to recover from the news and, since then, none of them spoke much after that. Even till now, when they thought of that day, some still cried.
Narumi walked in and saw some of them crying, "What is going on here? Today is your graduation day. You people should be happy about it, and not crying at this moment. Go enjoy your last day here at this Gakuen. Enjoy on behalf of them." He said and they nodded with forceful smiles.
As he left the homeroom, he thought, 'It will be livelier if only the 4 of you are here. I wondered what you guys will be if you have not died in that incident.'
Suddenly, he saw, from the corner of his eyes, a very surprising sight, 'Whoa! I haven't seen Persona wearing so formally before... Wait a minute, he has never attended any of the graduation before. Why is today a special day?' he thought as he followed him.
Persona then stopped at a tree, talking to 2 people, which is Ruka's parent. He tried to eavesdrop what they are talking about, but was to no avail.
'I wondered what they are talking about. They do meet up a lot these 10 years.' Narumi thought, creeping nearer to them.
Mr. Nogi spotted him and hashes them, "Ah… Narumi Sensei! What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Oh… nothing much, Mr. Nogi." Narumi answered. "Well, we have a graduation ball tonight. You 2 will like to participate?" he then invited.
"They hesitate for a while, "Well, we have nothing after this. I do think we are able to go." Mrs. Nogi said and Mr. Nogi nodded.
"Ok then, see you guys later." Narumi said, leaving them alone.
"I'm sure they will be very surprise to see them tonight…. Especially their beloved friends." Mrs. Nogi said with a smile.
At night, everyone was enjoying the ball. Some took this moment to confess their love, while some is exchanging contacts so as to keep in touch. Everyone seems very happy and laughter was everywhere. Class B, however, was very different form the atmosphere. They tried their very best to enjoy the ball, but failed.
"If Mikan-chan is here, she will definitely be very happy and will pull Hotaru around with her." Nonoko said absently.
Sumire nodded, "And all the girls here will chase after Natsume and Ruka for their stones." She said sadly.
"It is after all, our fault. We let the darkness in our heart consume us." Hina said.
Yui shook, "It's not your fault. Everyone deserves a second chance and Mikan-chan they all just wanted to give you this chance to enjoy it. That's why you are in our class." Yui said.
Just then, someone shouted at the entrance and, soon, there is a big commotion around that area.
"I wonder what is going on there." Yui said.
One of the people at the entrance ran towards Class B, "Ne… Yui-kun… Your friends' souls are... Is here to celebrate the graduation with you guys." He said with a shaky voice.
They immediately went to take a look and all was shocked at what they saw. What they saw before them is 2 very beautiful ladies accompanied by 2 very handsome men. Beside them is 2 children aged about 3 or 4.
"Mi…Mikan-chan? Alive?" Yui started.
One of the ladies with long brown hair smiled, "Konnbawa, Yui-kun and to minna-san." She greeted.
"Mikan-chan! Hontou ni Mikan!" he exclaimed as that lady nodded.
Ann then looked at the rest of them, "Then, you people must be Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka!" she said and hugged the lady with long black hair.
"How…. How…." Sumire stammered.
"Well, we got out of the mansion in the nick of time and but got injured very badly." Mikan explained as she knows what they wanted to ask
"Uno… Mikan-san, we would like to apologize for the…." Suki started.
Ruka interrupted her, "As long as you gals are fine, nothing means much to us anymore. This is counted as your rebirth, so enjoy your life now fully." He smiled.
They nodded and smiled back. Yui was very happy that they were alive and started to dance around, pulling Mikan's hand. But, soon, Mikan was being pulled away from Yui by Natsume. Yui is still confused about it until he saw the rings on their fingers accidentally.
He pointed at the 2 of them, "You… you 2 are already married?" he asked.
"Uso daiyo!" Sumire shouted.
Mikan just blushed when Natsume lifted their hands for them to see. "Ruka and Hotaru, too." Natsume said, pulling them down along.
That creates another commotion, "Does that means that these 2 kodomos here are your kodomo? They looked very familiar to me" Kokoroyomi asked.
Ruka shook, "They are Shiki-chan and Youichi-kun, those 2 kids who always come to our room." He explained.
"But…. How come they still looked like before?" Yui asked.
"Long story Inchou!" Hotaru said. "Ne, Shiki-chan, You-kun, go find your classmates 1st. We will go find you later." Hotaru told them and they immediately ran off.
"Well, we finally reunite after so long. There are so many things to tell you guys about." Ann chatted excitedly when they are settled down.
Soon, everyone is asking them about their life after they recovered.
'Finally, Class B is enjoying the ball and everyone looked very happy about it. I wonder what will become of them today if miracle does not appear. I actually don't believe in miracle until I saw you, alive, here, Mikan-chan.' Narumi thought as he watches them chat.
The dance soon begins and many of them dance with the one they liked, except for 2 couple who went out of the room.
Hotaru brought Ruka to her laboratory to enjoy the peace they have.
"I see that they still keep this place so tidy for you, Hotaru-chan." Ruka said.
Hotaru nodded, "My life, at first, is only black and white. All I know is to create new things…. Until I met Mikan in the village, and you here in Gakuen. It was then my life started to fill with colours." She said.
Ruka then smiled, "Ya... That's when you started to bribe me for all those photos you have taken off me." He then teased her, "Come to think of it, you surely want to get my attention by this method, right?"
Hotaru blushed a bit at his words and he is a bit taken at her reaction. He recovered from it fast and hugged her from behind.
"Well, if you were to ask me, I would say you have successfully captured my attention since that first day you bribe me, Hotaru-chan." He said and kisses her.
Mikan and Natsume, on the other hand, walked towards the Sakura tree to admire the starry night.
"Ne, Natsume-kun, still remember we 1st met?" Mikan asked as they sat at the Sakura tree.
Natsume smiled at her, "How could I ever forget? That was your first day here and I was trying to run away from school."
Mikan nodded, "Yes…. I, at that time, is only concern about Hotaru and don't want to be separated with her." She said. "But I never thought that studying here will give me so much fun too." She smiled, looking at him.
"I agreed, that Gakuen seems more fun each day. But that was only after you appear here." Natsume said. "Not only Gakuen, but also my life. Before I met you, I'm always alone, or with Ruka only. With you around is never boring as there is always adventures." Natsume continued.
Mikan looked at him, "You won't be alone now, Natsume-kun." she then said.
Natsume smiled at her and kissed her with unspoken love that swells in his heart.
'Thanks for always being with me, Mikan.' He thought silently.
Suddenly, they heard voices calling for them.
"Natsume nii-chan, Mikan nee-chan, the organizer is calling for you!" Shiki shouted as Youichi and her ran to them.
Youichi and Shiki has stayed with the 2 couples for long and already treated them as their parents. Although Natsume they all let them address them as their parents, Youichi and Shiki still call them nii-chan and nee-chan, but only in front of other people.
Mikan smiled at them, "Any idea why are they finding us?" she asked.
Youichi nodded, "They want to invite Natsume nii-chan to create fireworks at the clearings." He said.
Natsume looked at Mikan, who nodded. They then proceed to the clearings. On their way there, they met up with Ruka and Hotaru, and they walked together. Once they reached the clearings, Natsume immediately pulled Mikan on stage with him. He then focus hard and uses his flame Alice to create different kinds of fireworks. Everyone was totally captured by that sight, some was even so touched that they cried. That was the most beautiful fireworks which none of them had ever seen before. Mikan smiled, secretly using her wind Alice and to create small breeze, in celebrating of the graduations.
"Tonight is truly a very beautiful and commendable night for all the graduates." Mrs. Nogi said.
"True enough, especially for the 2 couples who are finally together despite their differences in characteristic." Mr. Nogi continued.
Persona smiled as he looked at Natsume and Mikan, "One is warm and always caring for people while another is cool and does not care much for people. People with unlike characteristic really attracts to one another, just like magnets." He commented.
Mrs. Nogi then smiled, "Well, it is really very impolite to compare Ouji–sama and Hime-sama as magnets, Persona."
He looked at Mr. Nogi and the 3 of them smiled, looking at the 2 couples, who are dancing on the floor.
Owari
Well, that's the end…
