I do not own Gakuen Alice only Lucifer

I Sold my Soul for Him

Chapter 2: The Clock

Entering my room I kicked off my shoes and dragged myself towards my bed which is neatly fix. Maybe the helpers (referring to maids) cleaned this up. Thank you. I lied there thinking of what happened. I should be jumping down in joy of him once again going back to life but why in the very core of my soul is lonely like I have been stab at the center of my heart. I watch my white curtain gracefully being blown by the wind.

I yanked away at the bed and make my way towards the bathroom. Taking a shower would be a good idea as it calms me whenever something unpleasant happens. As I'm about to strip I felt a sudden pain in my left chest. I crouch down while clutching where the pain is building up. I reached for the sink and steadied myself. Thinking that the pain has already stopped it once again pierces in a sudden volt with much pain than before. Losing balance I stumbled down, my breath is getting slower and my body is feeling weaker. I lied down the cold floor and rolled into a small ball and dealing with the pain I'm feeling. Is this the devil's way of entertaining himself? By making me suffer? He must have read my thought because the pain now is unbearable.

Finally it stopped.

I help myself stand up and gazing myself in front of the mirror. I rushly took off my shirt and saw a clock embedded on my left chest. It wasn't a normal clock. It has diamonds in various shapes surrounding it. Above it is the devil with 2 big horns, eyes that are even scarier than death itself, his mouth his hanging open while his tongue is sticking out similar to a snake. Again black is the main color. But what is this?

"Hello my dear friend" leaning on the wall I saw the man earlier. He has a smile on his face and a cocky face.

"What is this?" getting straight to the point I asked immediately about this drawing

"That's your life"

"My life?"

"Yes dear, your life. You see when that clock of mine has been completed meaning when the arrow revolves around reaching the point where it started you'll drop dead immediately" he grinned and vanish to thin air. Again I didn't sense his presence how unrealistic. Well, everything in my life is so unreal. My alice and him.

I shake my head, yanked my clothes away and slid inside the warm water. Leaning in the edge of it I stared in the ceiling completely dazed. I sighed and lowered my head reaching the tip of my forehead. I opened my eyes under and saw the face of the devil not his human facade but his true image. The true appearance of him. His laughter is ringing in my ear drums breaking the silence that stood still awhile ago.

After I finished I waltz out the tub and covered myself with a towel. Staring down at the tub only now I realized that the tub has no water in it when I'm talking with him.

"It is I who brought the water. It is from down here that's why it's warm" his voice echoed through the walls with a hint of laughter. I nodded then left.

Waking up in the break of dawn is what I really hate the most. It's 4:30 and school doesn't starts at 8:00. My body grew accustomed in waking at this exact time. I wonder why? I reached the remote control on my bed side table. Switching on the T.V I looked for something worth watching. None. Shutting it off I scampered away from bed. Making my way towards the bathroom to wash my face and every hygienic thing you and I do. I decided to wear just simple black jogging pants, a shirt and some running shoes. I grab the jacket lying on the kitchen table and left.

Since I'm waking up this time of the day I better use it to my advantage and start my training. I jogged in a slow pace then accelerate it as I come along. Last time I dragged Natsume to train with me and he really got pissed. I chuckled at the thought. It happened a week ago but why do I feel it happened years ago.

They are still friends…

"Come on Natsume! Accompany me to train today" Mikan who is inside his room is pulling on his hand while the other hand of Natsume is holding the other direction of the bed to not fall to the floor.

"Yadda and how did you get in here?" he tried burning her hair which to no avail it didn't lit a singling fire. He wants to smack his own head for forgetting that she the idiotic once Mikan is now a special star student who lives next door his. He jerked his hand away but Mikan's grip is too tight

"The balcony. I jumped over so come on Nat only this day then I won't bug you anymore" they stared each other for awhile ending it with a frustrated pissed off sigh Natsume gave of. He stood up clean himself then glared really hard at Mikan.

"If looks could kill I would die now" she muttered holding unto his arm

"Don't die yet. I want you to suffer from me" he gave a sinister laugh. Mikan shuddered

"Ok. I just thought about it you can sleep now and I'm gonna train on my own since having a partner would slow me down" she pushed him towards the bed and laughed nervously. That tick Natsume. He The Natsume Hyuuga can't follow up the pace of the young girl who suddenly became a special star after returning from America. Not to mention from stupid to an extremely smart girl but her childish, goofy smile and joyous personality is still there and her clumsiness just comes out when she is out of her self.

"Oh no. I'm gonna accompany you. Let's see who can't follow the other" he smirked and places an arm to Mikan. His energy is building up and can feel he can win this game. Unknown to Natsume who haven't seen her train until today is chuckling inside her. 'Let's see' she thought

An hour has passed

Natsume was panting hard and crouch down holding his knees for support. His sweating like crazy. He gazes at Mikan who is laughing really hard it pisses him off on why she is not sweating for a single bead of sweat, she is not panting she is more like a ruthless girl who is laughing like a crazy maniac looking down on Natsume

"It's just been only 10 minutes" she chuckled and wipes the tears that form in her big eyes

"Who wouldn't get tired of running so fast that everything seems invisible, climbing the trees and" he composed himself and stand up "fighting a wild animal without using our alice not to mention they're 5 for pete's sake" Mikan smiled.

"So don't ever underestimate me!" she exclaimed

". I won't. Come on let's grab something to eat" Natsume said looking at Mikan

"Ok. But first let's watch the sunrise it's almost time" Mikan looked at the sky. Blue covers it all and no hint of a white cloud can be seen. Natsume did the same. He went nearer to Mikan. He places both his hands to his pockets. Natsume grew tired of looking at the sky while waiting for the sunrise to shine he is not a nature person after all unlike Mikan. He rested his gaze to Mikan's face who is waiting in anticipation. He was awestruck.

'Its true then that she became beautiful' he thought still his gaze on her face

"Why are you staring at me?" Mikan can feel his gaze and shifter her eyes to his.

"You became pretty polka dots" he said still staring her hazel brown orbs. Mikan who flushed instantly at the sudden words Natsume uttered. She's wanted to hear that from him and finally he said it. Natsume got her in that. He smirked and pointed at the sky.

"His here" he said. Mikan instantly look at the sky

"Why do you think the sun is a he?" Mikan asked

"No particular reason" he said. Mikan chuckled.

"Let's eat" he said grabbing her hand. Mikan once again flushed crimson bright red

"Why are you holding my hand?" she said feeling stupid on why she ask such an idiotic and embarrassing question

"Because I want to" he said in a monotonous voice.

'Maybe there is still hope that he likes me too' Mikan thought urging herself not to giggle but it didn't pave way anyway she giggled nevertheless.

"What's funny?" Natsume who is playing with her fingers said

"I love you Natsume" she covered her mouth instantly the moment those words came out. 'Did I just confessed! This is beyond humiliating!' she thought whose face is almost similar to blood. Her baka self return. She jerks her hand away from Natsume and ran as fast as she could.

'Wait why am I running I can teleport myself' she smack her own head with that she is in her room covered by her sheets and trying to erase her memory of what happened.

Baka

Natsume who is both surprise and happy is there left in the tree branch.

'She loves me?' he thought. He smirked and began making his way to her room.

He slid in the window and saw Mikan on her bed, her white comforter around her only her face is visible. If the comforter is brown she makes a perfect imitation of poop. Natsume laughed at the thought. Mikan who instantly felt his presence the moment his floor\t stepped on her balcony froze on the spot.

'His here!' she screamed inside her head. She began to panic inside her but not visible in her outer appearance who stared down on the floor trying to come up an excuse on how she would reason out with her sudden confession. She ended up blank

"You look like poop. White version of a poop actually" he said sitting on a comfortable chair looking at Mikan. That caught Mikan's attention. She opened her mouth and no words came out she closed it again.

"Now you're a fish" Natsume said chuckling. Mikan became redder than before mixture of love and anger

"Now a tomato" she erupt

"Yah! Don't get too cocky when I just confessed to you! I loved you ever since we were trap in the hunted mansion when we were 10, I hate it when you tease me about my panties over and over again, I hate you when you make me look like a fool, I hate-

Mikan was cut off by Natsume

"I love you too polka" he said sincerity visible in his eyes

"You do?" Mikan dumbly said. Natsume laughed

"You should ran to me and kiss me instead of saying 'you do'?" he went nearer to her and planted a soft kiss on her lips

"I love you" he whispered to her ear. Both flushed from their cheeziness but still they're happy.

I wiped my tears falling from my eyes and sat on the Sakura tree we always go to. Natsume would always lie on my lap while reading his manga. Sighing. I stood up and get readied for class. Seeing his face later on gives me butterflies in my stomach, sadness, and joy for his alive. We can start of being friends again. I'll wait for his memory to come back. I'll wait.
