Chapter 2
'THWACK'
"MIKAN CHAN!" a voice screamed.
Mikan's eyes snapped opened. Her ears were ringing and her cheek was throbbing.
She scanned the room to see the whole class staring. Staring at her. She saw Hotaru holding a gun shaped thing and it was aiming at her.
"Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!" the gun went when it was directly pointed at her.
"Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!" was the sound that was made when it hit Mikan's face.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Mikan responded to the air that was hit directly on her cheeks. They were throbbing more than before.
Hotaru then put her gun who knows where but it was somewhere near her pocket-less skirt and sighed.
"You shouldn't be sleeping in class on your first day you know?" Hotaru said in her monotone voice.
Mikan rubbed her throbbing cheeks.
"Sorry… I just suddenly felt sleepy all of a sudden." Mikan muttered.
Narumi stared at her for a second and shook his head.
"Since it's your first day here… I'm not going to deduct any talents from you then." he sighed turning back to the board.
"Talents?" Mikan repeated with a questioning tone.
Linchou then tapped on her shoulder from behind.
"Sakura-san I'll explain it to you. Talents are the currency we use here. You know yen was it called yen? I forgot… hmm been such a long time since I saw the outside world…" he mumbled speaking his thoughts aloud. He then snapped from his daydream and shook his head a laughed nervously. "Ignore what I said before Sakura san! I was just daydreaming!" he said.
Mikan nodded slowly thinking 'They've been here for such a long time that they don't even remember the currency of japan?' she then snapped from her thoughts and nodded.
"Yeah I know yen. It's the only currency I use." She replied.
"Ha ha. Thoughts so sorry for the stupid question um… yeah talents are the currency of this place. Teachers have the power to deduct or add talents depending on your behavior and grades you get. Each month we get our salary and we get to go to Town and buy stuff!" linchou explained.
Mikan smiled and nodded.
"Oh! I see! Thank you!" she smiled.
"No problem." Linchou smiled back.
*GY*
Time skip...
"What's your Talent Mikan chan?"
"How did you get here Mikan?"
"When did you arrive here?"
"Do you like it here?"
As soon as Mikan had entered the cafeteria she was flooded with questions from a group of girls.
"Err… Um… I don't know what my talent is… yet. And um I'm not so sure I was just sleeping in my room yesterday and then this morning I was lying on a random bed! And… I guess I like it here… though I wonder why it's snowing at this time of year…" Mikan replied.
The girls looked at eachother.
"Looks like you were kidnapped here…" they said.
"Kidnapped?" Mikan repeated.
The girls nodded.
"The school will do anything to get their hands on the selected students. There are many ways to do it though… one of them is kidnapping them, they come by their own will because they didn't have a clue about this school, or they were black mailed. Others are unknown… as for the snow…" The girls then looked at each other and gave nervous looks.
"This place is cursed."
"What?" Mikan exclaimed.
"Apparently. There's a rumor a long long long time ago there was a witch and a prince. One day it was snowing heavily. The witch arrived at this place were many castles were, which is here. The witch wanted to take shelter from the snow but the selfish prince refused the witch to take shelter in either of castles. The witch grew angry and cursed this place… and said. "This place shall be forever covered by snow!" and so… that's what made this place covered by snow… not an interesting story/rumor I know but… yeah that's what we were told when we were four." The girl said while sipping her drink.
"Four? You've been here since you were four?" Mikan said in a surprised tone.
The girls nodded.
"Well yeah… I was here since I was two. I don't even remember who my parents are… by the way my name is Unemoniya Anna. My talent is cooking and I come up with various dishes for my friends." Anna said shaking Mikan's hand.
"I was here since I was four. The name's Ogasawara Nonoko. My talent is chemistry while experimenting with dangerous chemicals and making things go 'BOOM!'" Nonoko laughed raising her goggles while sipping her drink.
"I was here as long as could remember… My name is Hyuuga Aoi. And my talent is fire dancing and making fire." Aoi smiled giving Mikan a handshake.
"I was here not as long as these guys. I was here since I was seven. My name is Karisa Kisa. My talent is taking the ability of any animal!" Kisa smiled toothily while she munched away on her melon bread.
Mikan smiled and talked the whole way but inside she couldn't help but feel sad for the girls and how they were separated from their families at such a young age.
"Oh by the way! It's nearly Imai san's birthday!" Nonoko suddenly remarked.
Kisa then slammed her hands on the table making Mikan jump and spill her drink a little on her clothes.
"Oh yeah! We should do something to celebrate it! How about we do a costume party?" Kisa smiled.
The table went silent.
…
"Maybe another time Kisa chan. I don't think Imai san would like a costume party… I think she'll like something that involves lots of food due to her appetite." Anna said breaking the silence.
Mikan was in a thinking position.
"Hey what about a surprise party?" Mikan suggested.
Everyone smiled.
"Yes that's a great idea Mikan chan!" Aoi smiled shooting up her chair.
"We'll tell the whole class that!" Anna said.
"But I like the idea of a costume party…" Kisa muttered sadly no one seemed to hear her.
"Ok then it's settled!" Mikan smiled as she stood up. "A surprise party with lots of food it is!"
"Aoi!" a voice called suddenly.
Everyone jumped and looked back to see who it was. It was Nastume.
"Ahh onii chan!" Aoi smiled getting out of her chair.
Mikan almost fell out of her chair.
"Onii chan?" Mikan yelled in a surprise tone.
Aoi gave a weird look to Mikan.
"Uh yeah this is my onii chan Nastume." Aoi explained gesturing to Nastume.
Mikan stared at Nastume while Nastume gave a glare back.
"What are you staring at? Pig." Nastume said turning back while dragging Aoi with him while Mikan turned into stone.
"Pig?" Mikan exclaimed.
And that was the start of the war between Nastume and Mikan.
*GY*
It was just only two more day until it was Hotaru's birthday so the class had to work swiftly and carefully. Mikan had already forgotten about wanting to escape here and it almost seemed as if she had always been here. Smiling and getting along with her classmates and peers.
*GY*
Meanwhile in another room…
Hotaru was busy inventing something in the science room due to the fact that Narumi sensei kindly asked her to use this time to make stuff for clients. She reluctantly did it on one condition, if she was paid. And so she started busily working on the inventions. Until she realized something. She raised her goggles to wonder what it was and it seemed to bother her since the very start. That Sakura Mikan girl seemed oddly familiar and the name had a ring to it… 'Sakura… Sakura… Sakura…' Hotaru repeated in her head. Her gears inside her brain were moving fast. Nope still nothing. She sighed and continued working on the inventions until something caught her eye. A gold and crisp sheet of paper with words written that sat in the corner of the room. She tilted her head and approached the sheet of paper cautiously. Well, this is Gakuen Yuki. For all she knows the sheet of paper just might blow up. But nothing happened. So she picked the sheet of paper up and in a small and neat font of writing it wrote:
'For whoever picks up the sheet of paper,
you might receive a letter.
From someone you don't quite expect,
Or you can end up in some trance.
Maybe you will remember something that was hidden from you for quite a while.
Who knows?
But you gotta be careful.
Because something is going on at this school.'
Hotaru stared at the sheet of paper for a while and raised an eyebrow. 'Weird… might be some prank. Well, not my problem.' She thought as she carelessly chucked the sheet of paper that landed somewhere in the room. But there were two things that caught her eye in the letter… 'Maybe you will remember something that was hidden from you for quite a while and but you gotta be careful, because something is going on at this school.' 'Something's going on at this school… hmm…' she thought while she fiddled with her invention.
"I'm sort of worried." She muttered.
*GY*
"Careful… careful… umf!" Mikan yelled as she tumbled down the ladder and landed on her back.
She then looked up at Nastume who snickered at her fall.
"You should be helping me! Stop reading manga!" she hissed at him.
Nastume looked up from his manga.
"I'll help you when I bother." He stated while flipping a page.
Mikan pouted as she snatched the manga off him.
"Help. Me." She stated sternly with a frown.
"You got some nerve to treat me like that." He growled.
Note to all those non otaku's out there. Do NOT take manga off an otaku especially Nastume since he can… Yeah.
"So what if I do?" Mikan retorted.
"You will suffer conse…" but the bell rung.
'Ding dong!'
Nastume looked as his watch spun and walked away.
"You're lucky I have some business to attend to." He stated directly at Mikan.
Mikan frowned and poked her tongue childishly at Nastume's direction and continued attempting putting up the streamers.
*GY*
At the science lab...
"Ah Imai san…" Luka said softly while opening the door of the science lab.
"What is it?" Hotaru asked lifting her goggles.
"Narumi sensei says that you can go now." Luka said in a soft voice.
….
"Why are you saying things so softly?" Hotaru asked.
"I dunno… polite I guess?" Luka replied.
Hotaru smirked in amusement and got all her stuff and headed towards the door where Luka was.
"You're amusing." Hotaru commented tapping Luka on the back to make him jump.
"What do you mean?" Luka asked being utterly confused but Hotaru had already left.
Awkward silence….
"Bunny san, what does she me by 'amusing'?" Luka asked the bunny that was always cradled in his arms.
….
"Oh I see… but I still don't get it…" Luka said.
….
"Figure out myself? Um ok if you say so…" Luka said exiting the science room.
But there was something he didn't notice… it was Aoi was in the corner of the room holding a letter…
Eevee: What could the letter be? :O Won't update in a while so you guys have to wait and review! I have Birthday cake ready! By the way: '...' in the conversation with Luka and his bunny is the bunny 'talking'... Sorry for the boring fillerish thing I promise you the birthday party will be much more interesting... I hope.
