This is the second chap. Hope you guys like it!

I don't own the anime for god sake!!!!!!

Ok and also I forgot to mention last time that they are all fifteen in this fic!

I will not make the same mistake again!

Ruka sat on top of the old willow tree on the highest branch, staring blankly at nowhere! Why did it have to be him? He felt his eyes straining to let out hot tears. But he won't let that happen. Showing emotions were sign of weakness and he was not weak! But why was he feeling sad any way? He knew that this will happen someday. He new every time he looked at her that she already loved some one else! Then why did it hurt so much now that she had told him?

Flashback

It was the last dance and almost every one was on the dance floor enjoying their dance with their loved ones. Natsume was nowhere to be seen and so wasn't Mikan. Only Ruka was sitting in one corner all alone looking like someone who has just attended a funeral.

All on a sudden Hotaru came out of no where. Hi there Ruka……. Enjoying your solitude? What do you want Hotaru? Without one more word she held her baka gun straight at him. Either you tell her now or be shot by my baka gun! Also if I may add this is my latest version of baka gun and it will really hurt if I shoot it at you!

Why will I listen to a filthy blackmailer like you any way? Was Ruka's reply. Because you have no right to play with my bests friend. You and that Natsume think that she is some sort of toy that you two can play with? I am nothing like that! Shouted Ruka. Then why don't you just tell her? Are you afraid that she will dump you? There was an evil smirk on Hotaru's face now. Then she turned back and walked away.

End of flashback

Why the heck did I listen to that horrid blackmailer?? Ruka covered his face, trying his best to control his emotions. The mere thought of Mikan telling him that she loved Natsume and not him made him feel like dying. Scenes of last night started coming back to him……Mikan was sitting in the food stall. As she saw Ruka approaching she greeted him with one of her cute smiles which made Ruka blush. He didn't know what happened next but he acted like a complete idiot that was one thing for sure. He just blurted out his feelings and Mikan stared open mouthed at him for some time. Then she told how she felt for Natsume and that was it ………..he was dumped!

Meanwhile……………….

Hotaru cursed under her breathe and knocked on the door of the faculty room. Please come in Mr. Narumis sugary voice called out. What do you want with me now? Hotaru asked as she tried to hide her irritation.

We want to discuss something with you Hotaru. Please be quick then because I have no time to waste listening to your useless jabbering.

Serina stood up and looked at Hotaru. Listen Hotaru this is very important so please take a sit. Hotaru sat on a nearby chair and looked directly into Serina's eyes her face as emotionless as ever. Hotaru did you notice something strange about the animals in the academy? Yea….they seems to be very quiet now a day. Well you see that we teachers think that this is happening because Ruka is upset about something. Since he controls all the animals in this academy we assume that this is happening because of him. So what? Was Hotaru's stoic reply. It does not end in here…….if Ruka does not recover quickly then the animals might get furious and start attacking the academy. And as you know this is going to cause a lot of problems.

What can I do about it? We want you to cheer him up. And what makes you think I will do it? I don't do any thing unless there is money involved in it!

Mr.Narumi sweat dropped. All right how much do you want? 10,000 rabbits. WHAT???????? BUT THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH. No money no deal!

Ok……ok……..its a deal then!
