Ruka
The day she died, the day Hotaru Imai died, the day I became an adult, 18 years of age, March 16th.
I have always blamed myself.
Maybe, just maybe, if I hadn't been so...involved...with my fanclub's 'surprise' birthday party, I would've come with her, took her back to her lab and stopped the killer...if only...
I will always remember Sumire bursting into the room and yelling those four fateful words:
"Hotaru has been murdered!"
Sumire
"Hotaru has been murdered!" the four words I spoke, only I forgot to add: "By me."
It was quick, if you want to know, and it didn't give the pleasure I thought it would.
I didn't feel sadness, or guilt either, I was in more of a mindless stupor.
They were in my room, holding Ruka's surprise party so I couldn't not tell them, I just left out the part about me...
Plus the Blood splatters on my uniform gave away I was there, and denying it would just cause suspicion.
But there is still a chance someone with the ghost-reader alice would come, it was dark, but she might have seen.
Hotaru
I'm dead.
It feels good to write it down like that, but yeah, I am.
My personality has changed as well, I show more emotions on my face, but that is partially Ruka's fault.
Wait.
It's hit me.
I won't be able to blackmail him now I'm dead.
Damn.
I don't blame her, Sumire I mean, for killing me.
But I miss holding him, Ruka, I miss kissing his lovely lips and stroking his golden hair.
Crap I sound like Mikan, crap...
Speaking of which I miss her too.
Her smile.
The bump on her head from too many Baka blasts.
I'm making myself laugh now xD.
I suppose its best for me to laugh...
Ruka
It was a fresh spring morning, dewdrops draped themselves over Sakura trees, but what would normally be a happy scene was dampened by the ominous gloom of Hotaru's funeral, held exclusively at Alice Academy.
The hall was filled with business people, several of which I had come into contact with over the past year.
All of them were crying.
I wasn't.
I couldn't.
I was beyond tears.
As I stepped up to give my speech, in a black tuxedo(Mikan said I looked cute through her tears) the whole hall fell silent.
They were staring at me.
No matter how much I tried to cover up my streaked face, the tear-tracks still remained.
Since I became her boyfriend I had never stopped smiling.
I had earned a reputation: 'Ruka Nogi, the boy who always smiles.'
I had a reason.
Natsume was happy.
Why shouldn't I?
Sumire
I had never seen him this unhappy.
Sure, he was pretty gloomy when Natsume was...well...Not as he is now...but never this unhappy.
I almost feel bad about causing this, scratch that, I do feel bad.
It's like...something eating away at me...torturing my soul...I can't feel it... yet I can...
OKAY thats weird.
Anyway...
We got rearranged in our 3-star rooms yesterday, we have 17 girls in this room, all of them REALLY annoying!
I have to share a bunk with Mikan, I don't know how she became a 3-star, but she did.
Cue lying awake 'til 3am listening to Mikan sobbing anyone?!
Really annoyed.
One girl, who has the music alice(can't remember her name, something like Creamii?) is OBSESSED with this crap band endorsed by a kids TV channel, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT CHANNEL AT THE ACADEMY!!
It's totally annoying.
It is SERIOUSLY not apparent how these girls became 3-stars.
You CANNOT get to sleep here, theres like every 5 seconds: "I need the Toiiiiiiiiiiiileeeeeeeeettt!" or "OMG where's Snuggle-snuggle Wuv bunny!!" I feel like screaming at them "YOU'RE 17 AND 18, ACT LIKE IT!!"
Mikan keeps going "Hotaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." in her sleep.
I feel like throttling her.
She's dead.
Get over it.
Hotaru
Mikan cried again last night(it's not like she doesn't every night.)
I was hovering above her bed, she was sharing a bunk with Sumire who looked thoroughly pissed off.
Bloody cheek!
Mikan went "Hotaruuuuuuuuu..." and I felt like slapping her.
I'm dead.
Get over it.
Next I hovered over to Ruka's room.
I shouldn't have since it's a boys room, but I did.
I lay my head on his chest and he shivered.
Like he knew I was there, he smiled.
So I kissed him on the lips and he fainted.
I didn't know ghosts could do that?!
His blonde hair flopped over his sleeping eyes in a sexy manner so I couldn't help it; even though he had already fainted, I ran my hands over his hair, placed two hands on the sides of his head and kissed him again, fully this time.
It made me wish I wasn't just a ghostly shadow and could kiss him properly.
But I was.
So I couldn't.
My eyes drooped as I slithered round the corridor, right into Tobita Yuu.
And the problem is:
I actually hit him.
"I-Iinchou!" He looked as startled as I must've.
"Hotaru?! I thought you were dead?!"
I let my face damp back to its usual emotionless facade and spoke: "I am"
I stopped hovering and walked over to him
"You have the ghost reader alice."
"Yeah...I guess..."
I grabbed his wrists, showing such emotion, tears streaming from my violet eyes.
"Please...Please Iinchou, give an alice stone to Ruka.
I want to touch him.
I want to kiss him.
I want to make him mine again."
Ruka
Sumire kissed me.
On the lips.
But the real problem is, I kissed her back.
And it was good, I mean, in a fit of passion I kinda became her boyfriend.
Shit.
People already talk about it in the corridors: "He bounced back fast! I completely underestimated him. With Sumire too! I thought he hated her!"
I did.
I do.
I mean, I sort of like her, as a sort of friend.
Nothing more.
She is obsessed with me though, and Natsume.
But I still couldn't bear it if Mikan died not Hotaru, for if Natsume was crushed again, I wouldn't know how to act.
I had felt the few drops of tears roll down my cheeks before I realized I was crying.
My eyelashes began to stick together and my sandy-blonde hair stuck to my forehead.
Suddenly I felt two warm hands course up my naked back and wrap around my arms.
Sumire.
I turned my head to tell her to back off and my lips collided with hers.
Just as Tobita Yuu ran in.
Sumire
I Love him.
Murdering Hotaru has finally paid off!
I am Ruka's girlfriend!
UH-HUH!
Plus he's a good a kisser as I imagined!
DOUBLE WOO!!
Iinchou walked in and ruined our 'moment' though.
I was very sad )=
I swear Hotaru is haunting me though, ever since Iinchou burst in.
Strange things have been happening, like I couldn't find my uniform this morning.
Straaaaange.
Don't really care though...
Hotaru
I don't believe it.
Sumire is my Ruka's girlfriend.
That SLUT!
I was gonna give him Iinchou's alice stone too so he could see me, but now I wont.
I'll haunt both of them :(
I told Iinchou not to tell anyone about his second alice, he was quite reluctant but did finally agree.
It's better if they didn't know.
I'M SERIOUSLY GONNA HAUNT THEIR SORRY ASSES!!
I already put up some embarrassing photos of Ruka in the hallway but Sumire is currently squeaky-clean.
I might just tell Iinchou it was her though...
But then I couldn't have so much fun with her :)
Ruka
I am freaked.
Dammit.
I don't know HOW Hotaru got those photos, all I know is I spent half an hour getting them all down!
I know it was her because seriously...who would have access to my personal wardrobe except her...
I suppose I should start loving Sumire, I mean, She is pretty hot and a dynamo kisser.
I won't forget about Hotaru though, just, while she's haunting me...
ACK!
What am I saying?
I'll never love Sumire!
Never!
But still...
I should get over Hotaru, even though I still love her, I mean look what happened to me and Mikan, I loved her for TWO YEARS after she started dating Natsume.
TWO WHOLE YEARS!!
I've decided.
I will give it a shot.
What's the worst that could happen?
