Ruka stretched his body as he sat on his bed. He was about to lie down when his father called him. "Ruka!" he paused and continued when Ruka looked at him. "Can you help me with something?" Ruka smiled and nodded. His father smiled back and asked, "Imai has the invention to sharpen the axes, can you ask her how much it costs?"

Harvest Love

Chapter 4

Ruka widened his eyes and quickly shook his head. "N-No!" he held his lips and tried to find an excuse. "I-I mean, she just got back from Goddess' Festival, so she must be tired right now... Yeah, yeah!" Ruka sighed. He actually had two reasons for not wanting to go. First, he was afraid that Hotaru might blackmail him and second, he was tired himself from the festival. His father frowned. He sighed heavily and nodded. "Alright, alright. I'll try to ask her."

Mr. Nogi smiled and nodded. "That's great! And if you want to sleepover at Hyuuga's tonight, just tell me tomorrow." Ruka smiled back and readied to go.

Ruka walked his way to the library and yawned many times. When he arrived at the library, he knocked the door with his sleepy face. "Imai-san! Open up, please. Are you busy?" he asked while still knocking the door. When there was no response, he opened the door himself as he realized the door was unlocked. "Imai?" he gazed the library.

Then, he saw a person lying on the floor. He quickly closed the door and went towards her. "Imai?!" he called as he sat down on the floor and put Hotaru on his arms. Hotaru could not see the person in front of her clearly but she knew who it was. "N-Nogi?" she called back emotionless and coughed. Ruka then took Hotaru to the couch near them but he just sat on the floor. "What happened?"

Ruka held her hand when Hotaru started coughing again. "Nogi." she called calmly. "Please don't leave me for now." Ruka widened his eyes and blushed when he saw Hotaru made an innocent face for the first time. "I-I will not." he blushed more without knowing Hotaru already went to sleep.

"Doctor! How did you do that!?" Natsume ignored Mikan who was still blabbering about the freshened flower. "Shut up, Polka. You're too noisy." he stated calmly and Mikan pouted. "Oh, I guess I'm going home. Are you going back to the hospital?" she then asked when they stopped at the crossed road. Natsume just nodded. Mikan nodded, too, and walked away to the other way. "See you later, then! Bye, doctor! And thanks..."

"Tch." he said and continued his walk. Mikan hopped to her way home and she entered the house as soon as she arrived. "Onee-san." a child greeted. "Oh, you're still awake?" Mikan asked the child and rubbed his head. "Yeah." he said but still in his emotionless face and continued, "Because I just saw a mysterious creature flying around." Mikan felt goosebumps all over her body and glared at her brother who just made a chuckle quietly.

"Yuichi!" she shouted. "Alright, alright. I was just got back from Aoi's house." he explained. Mikan nodded and smiled in satisfy. "That's more like it." Then, she asked, "Oh, yeah. Aoi, you said? How is she? I haven't see her since last month." Yuichi just nodded as an answer that Aoi was fine. "She's still annoying as always." he stated. Mikan took a childish glare on him and then said, "That's not nice."

"I know." he replied expressionless. "Say, onee-chan. Can you make sandwiches?" he suddenly asked a question that made Mikan shock. "N-No... Why?" she blushed. Yuichi frowned and just shook his head. "Nothing." He said and walked towards his bedroom. I can try, maybe... she thought.

Natsume walked all the way to the hospital with his hands in his pockets. He suddenly saw a cow on the way and went towards it. He rubbed the cow when a girl came approached him. "Oh, there you are, Moo!" she said and put her hand on the cow. She saw Natsume stopped comforting the cow and smiled at him, "Thank you, sir. What is your name?" Natsume just looked at her and said, "Hyuuga Natsume."

"Hyuuga Natsume? I'm sure I heard it anywhere..." she held her lips then popped something in her head. "Oh, yeah!!! The popular doctor! Great to finally meet you, sir! And you know, we have the same surname! My name is Aoi Hyuuga!" she said, still smiling.

Natsume widened his eyes when he heard it. He wanted to say something but couldn't find a word. Then, Aoi cut him before he could say something. "I'll just call you, onii-chan, okay!? Oh, onii-chan! I have to go, mommy might get mad if I don't go back." she said and walked away from him with her cow. Natsume was still in shock when she was no longer there.

"Good morning, Reo-kun!" Mikan chirped when Reo opened his door. "M-Mikan-chan?" he called. "What are you doing here?" Mikan smiled. "Nothing... I just want to give you this." she handed him a sandwich. "Eh? For what?" he asked confusingly. "I just want you to have a taste. Is it okay?" she asked back. Reo raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you ask Hyuuga to do it?" he asked again. Mikan mumbled. "I did. But he was not nice." she pouted.

Flashback

"Doctorrrrr!!!" Mikan called when she opened Natsume's office door. Natsume looked at her uninterested and went back writing his works. "Can you try this and tell me what you think?" she handed him a sandwich. "Tch. I'm busy." he said, still writing. "Mou, doctor... Just a bite... Please??" she made a puppy face. Natsume rolled his eyes and just took the sandwich so Mikan would stop disturb him. He took a bite and widened his eyes.

He quickly too a glass of water on his table and wiped his lips with a tissue. "How was it?" Mikan asked innocently. "What? You want to kill me that much?!" he scolded and coughed. "Nani?! What do you mean?" Mikan crossed her arms. "Damn it. You're just wasting my time. What do you supposed calling this 'thing'?" he asked coldly.

"Thing? This is a sandwich, doc!" she shouted. "Tch." Mikan looked at the papers on his table. "Doctor. It's our day off. You should get some rest." she said. Natsume ignored her and she said more, "Ugh. Anyway, how is it?!" Natsume replied her but still writing his works. "The worst taste ever." Mikan pouted. "Never mind! I'll just make one more so Reo-kun can tell me how's the taste!" Natsume tried not to get sensitive on the name. "Whatever."

End of Flashback

"So, want a bite?" Mikan grinned. Reo nodded with a smile. He took the sandwich and took a bite. Mikan was waiting for a compliment but it was the opposite. Reo coughed made Mikan confuse. "A-Are you alright?" Reo forced a nod while he was still coughing. "I-Is it that bad?" she asked sadly. Reo shook his head and waved at Mikan. "N-No. Not at all." he said. Mikan pouted. "You don't have to say that." she said, frowned. "Never mind." she smiled again.

Reo was surprised to see her smile. "I'll just try again. Maybe I can ask you to taste it again tomorrow?" she asked and Reo just dropped his sweat. "O-Okay. It w-will be... alright..." he said nervously. Mikan smile grew wider and walked away while waving at Reo.

Hotaru woke up and suddenly saw a person holding her hand and slept on it. She widened her eyes in shock then came to her reality. She took something from her pocket and...

BAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKA

"Itai!" Ruka shouted while rubbing his head. "What's that for?!" Hotaru blew the smoke and then said, "Who asked you to sleep here?" Ruka looked at her in awe. "YOU did!!!" he shouted. "In your dreams." Hotaru replied, insisted that she wasn't wrong. "No, you really did!" he insisted back. Hotaru rolled her eyes and pointed the gun again at him.

BAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKA

"Nani!?" Ruka rubbed his head again. "Stop doing that, Imai-san!" he shouted. Hotaru ignored the smoke and asked again, "Who asked you to sleep here?" Ruka's body shook and he pointed her. "I said, it was--!" he stopped when Hotaru started to cough. He quickly went nearer to her and asked, "A-Are you alright?" Hotaru didn't answer. She just continued coughing. "Imai, what happened last night?" he asked again. Hotaru shook her head and put up her hand to Ruka so he wouldn't come near.

"Go. Out." she demanded. Ruka tried to fight but Hotaru already ran upstairs. "Curse that Koizumi." she said when she looked at herself on the mirror.

What's with Imai? Ruka thought when he closed the library door. Natsume passed by him and stopped when he saw Ruka was in front of the library door."Hn." he said. "What are you doing here?" he asked. Ruka shook his head and walked towards Natsume. "Natsume. Can I talk to you?" he asked. Natsume nodded and they started to walk to the lake.

"What's bothering you?" Natsume asked when they sat on the ground in front of the lake. "It's about Imai. She looked pale." he said. Natsume replied, "Hn. Maybe she's tired of yesterday dance." Ruka smiled and nodded. "Yeah. That must be it." he then kept quiet. There was a silence.

"Please don't leave me for now." he thought of what Hotaru said and blushed when he remembered Hotaru's innocent cute face. Natsume saw he blush. "Tch. Why are you suddenly blushing?" he asked. Ruka shook his head as his face became redder. "N-Nothing." Natsume poked his head. "Idiot. You think I will trust that answer? Tell the truth." he asked Ruka. Ruka blushed still and said, "It's... You know, since yesterday night, I have this strange feelings whenever I'm with Imai..."

Natsume widened his eyes. "Huh? How come?" he asked again. "Don't you feel that kind of thing to Mikan?" Ruka looked at Natsume in confuse. "No... Why?" he asked back. Natsume shook his head. "You're an idiot. I can't answer your question, you have to discover it yourself." he said. "W-What do you mean!?" Ruka blushed. "Hn. What made you think you like Mikan actually?" Natsume asked back calmly.
