I don't own Gakuen Alice and I'm not Tachibana Higuchi either, if ever I am him you wouldn't find me here… instead i would be infront of the computer planning my next storyline…
I'm just your regular writer and reader… period.
Chapter 1
That day the sun was shining brightly, it's rays reaching almost every corner. Yet everyone cannot totally feel its warmth since the cool wind was dancing along with it. Giving the day a cool and calm feeling. Many families have gathered to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the day, couples are walking happily side by side while their hands are joined together. Kids are happily running around trying to catch each other. Even the birds of the sky and the few animals walking around seemed to be at peace.
Almost everyone seemed to be welcoming the day with a smile, except for one....
-Mikan's POV-
It's hard to accept that people would leave you, but the harder fact to accept was the reality that they will never be coming back no matter how much you wish for it, and all that's left to you are the memories you have shared together.
Today i am sitting next to my parent's grave. It's been three months since they left for heaven but i still can't move on. Day by day i would think of all our happy moments together and at not i would cry myself to sleep while wishing that they are still here, breathing and with life. It's hard for me to accept that the two most valuable people in my life are already gone... in a snap.
Right now i feel like a small child who lost her balloon in the sky, the big difference was the child can replace the balloon she have lost but what I've lost can never come back to me, no matter how hard i would hope for it.
"We should go" i heard someone beside me stated. It was my younger brother Youichi. I nodded. "Aren't you sad that they are gone forever?" i asked
"Of course i am, but then every time i feel like crying... i would always remember what you have said to me when one of my friends died. you said that all good peole go to heaven, a place where they can relax and be happy" Youichi stated "and mom and dad are both great people"
I smiled. I can't believe that i still needed my brother to realize one thing, i should not be mourning instead i should be happy for them, at least they have found peace. Besides wherever they are i know they are still guiding me and Youichi.
"Let's go" I stated. my brother just nodded.
"Hey Youichi remember the days when we go out for picnic, and we always end up i an ice cream parlor... you know what let's eat some ice cream just like the old days, my threat." I said. Youichi just smile and seeing him like that i can't help but smile too. my brother was not the one to easily show his emotions, but every time he does i know he genuinely give his best.
-END OF POV-
"Did you found out where they lived?"
"Yes sir"
"Good i want you to bring them to me"
"As you wish sir"
"You may leave"
"Come on Youichi get moving, i want us done in no time" Mikan stated. Today, they are having a general cleanup inside their parents room. Youichi nodded as he grabbed a trash bag then started to pick any unnecessary thing he an find. things that are considered junks. Mikan meanwhile kept herself bussy removing the Curtains, blankets, Pillow cases and bedsheets. After several moments she was done, she then opened the cabinet where all the other bedsheets are stocked.
"Youichi take your pick, what's better this or this?" Mikan asked as she pointed on two baby blue colored bedsheets but with different designs. "The first one is better" Youichi stated
"Then the first one it is" Mikan stated "Let's put the matching blanket and pillow cases then, you won't mind, would you?"
"No not at all" Youichi replied who was now focusing on wiping the windows clean. Mikan smiled then proceeded to fix the bed. Soon after she was done "I'll just bring this at the laundry room" she stated talking about the dirty old covers. She can't put the new curtains yet since Youichi was still cleaning it. Youichi just walked out of their parents room then went straight towards the laundry room. She was about to get back when someone ringed the doorbell.
Mikan walked towards the door to open it.
"Hotaru,Koko,Yuu!" Mikan stated excitedly seeing her best friends in front of her. Koko and Yuu smiled at her while Hotaru just nodded her head in greeting.
"What are you doing here?" Mikan asked.
"Why Mikan don't you want us here?" Koko asked acting like he was deeply hurt. the he smiled goofily " We wanted to help!" He exclaimed.
"You told us about you and Youichi having a clean-up, We came her to help in any way we can" Yuu added. Mikan smiled at her friends "Oh! thanks a lot, you guys really are my friends" She stated.
Hotaru gave her a small smile "Only the best"
"Only the best!!!!" The other three replied in chorus. the four then proceeded towards Mikan's parents room. When the three saw Youichi cleaning the windows and the covers are neatly changed, they can't help themselves but be surprised. even Hotaru was slightly shocked.
"We thought..." Koko stated. Mikan chuckled " You thought that when i said cleaning i meant putting all of our parents things inside large boxes, stocking them inside the storage rooms and wait till dusts and cobwebs form, am i right?" Mikan asked
"Yeah sort of" Yuu admitted shyly "Like what most people would do"
"Too bad we are not like most people" Mikan stated "This room and all the things inside, holds too much memories of our parents and we just can't let it stay inside a dark room"
"Are you two doing fine?" Hotaru asked in concern
Mikan formed a small smile on her lips before answering " Yeah, it's kinda hard for us but we are coping and besides they would want as to be happy " She stated "There are many adventures waiting for us outside and our parents would be happy if we face it with pure positivity"
Hotaru smiled. "How about you Youichi?" She asked yet again in concern.
"I'm fine... besides i needed to grow more mature to watch out for onee-chan since she most of the time would act like a total idiot" Youichi stated. Mikan's vein popped at her brothers comment " YOUICHI!!!!!" Mikan stated faking her anger. Youichi just smirked. Hotaru was grinning while the two boys can't help themselves from giggling. Mikan sighed
"Anyways I'll go fix some snacks for us" Mikan stated. "I'll go help" Yuu stated. mikan smiled the nodded. " I'll go help too" Koko added as he proceeded to follow the two. "Sure" Mikan stated. the three then went towards the kitchen to fix some snacks.
