Back to the lab...
"I wonder what happen to Hotaru and the others? I hope they're alright"Anna said
"Don't worry, they are"Koko comforted Anna
"Hey, I hear voices"Yuu said
"And it sounds like it was coming here to the lab"Nonoko said
"Oh no! Whta should we do?!"Anna asked
"Wait, maybe I could use my illusion to hide ourselves"then Yuu used his illusion. Then the door opens and all of them(Yuu and the others) gasped
Meanwhile, back to Hotaru and Mikan
"Mikan, can you let go of my arm now? I can't feel it anymore"Hotaru asked
"Oh, sorry!"Mikan said and she let go of her best friend's arm
"Hey Hotaru, where is Natsume and Ruka? They were just behind us a few minutes ago"Mikan asked
'Thank God that you're an idiot Mikan'Hotaru sighted "Oh, they said that they have to go to the boy's room. Anyway, they have my transmitter so they won't get themselves lost"
"That's good"Mikan said
"Mikan"
"Yeah"
"Don't play dumb with me"
"I am not playing dumb with you Hotaru! I don't even know how to do play it"
"Tell me, what really happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know whom I'm referring to"
"Oh...That..."Mikan looked down on the ground and suddenly stopped walking
Ruka and Natsume didn't utter a word while they were walking. Then Ruka noticed that the orange transmitter stopped and they were somehow close to the orange transmitter
"Hey, look"Ruka showed Natsume the transmitter
"What about?"Natsume asked while looking at the other way
"You know the person I'm referring to, Natsume"Ruka said and Natsume didn't utter a word, as if he didn't hear Ruka's words
"You know, I was surprised to see you got hit by the BAKA gun and your face is the target. You must have done something to upset Hotaru"Ruka explained
"That girl is crazy. Hitting me with her BAKA gun without any valid reason"Natsume smirked
"That's impossible. Hotaru is not like that. I bet, it has something to do with Mikan huh?"Ruka asked
"Whoa...How did you know Hotaru isn't like that?"Natsume teased
"Oh, come on Natsume! It's not like that, okay? And its fairly obvious. I just don't understand, why don't you just tell her how you feel, FESS UP!"Ruka asked
"Huh, look who's talking. As if you're a professional in these kinds of situations"Natsume teased
"Okay, okay, we're equal. Both of us haven't tell her yet. But, I know that, Mikan likes you"Ruka said
"What made you think that? Are you sick or something?"Natsume touched Ruka's forehead to see if Ruka is sick but Ruka just laughed
"Oh Natsume, you just don't get it"Ruka said
"It's absurd that Mikan LIKES me! How did you come up with that conclusion?"Natsume asked
"Well, I didn't tell you this but I witnessed you and Mikan talking during the school festival, at the forest. When you told her to go away, and unexpectedly she did, without any noisy complains, I saw, her face, her eyes. Even though its dark...I"Ruka said
"What did you see in her face, especially in her eyes huh?"Natsume asked
"Well, she was blushing and her eyes, she looks like she was hurt, as if a school bus hit her really bad, all because you've turned down her proposal"Ruka said
"What proposal?"Natsume asked
"She was about to ask you to be her partner at the last dance! Me? She danced with me, just a normal, FRIENDLY one. You know Natsume, you're so lucky. That you have Mikan's love, even though you don't have time for it, even though I'm the one who yearns for it, life really is unfair"Ruka smiled when he said those words and Natsume looked at his best friend with concern
Meanwhile, back at the lab, the others gasped, I wonder why...
"Hey! They are the people we've just met a few minutes ago"Yuu and the others whispered and looked at each other
"Brother, did you hear that?"Haruhi said
"Yeah, someone must have been using his/her alice to hide from us"Kanata said
"How did you know Kanata-sempai, I don't see anybody"Akira said
"Be quiet! Just listen!"Tamaki said
"I think Kanata-kun is hungry. I mean, you didn't come to the lunchroom to eat with me"Maya complained
"Will you just keep your mouth shut Maya!"Souichii and Akiko exclaimed in unison
"Hey Maya, can you use your alice to reveal them"Kanata asked
"I'll be an honor Kanata-kun"Maya said sweetly
"You mean, that someone has company?"Tamaki asked
"Ugh...My head..."Yuu said
"What's wrong Yuu-kun?"Sumire asked
'Yuu-kun' Anna and Nonoko thought
"Somehow, my concentration is ruined. Someone must be jumbling my thoughts"Yuu complained
"Hey, maybe its that permy blonde girl who's been jumbling Yuu's mind"Koko pointed at Maya, closing her eyes and rotating her fingers. Then, the other students can see somehow, Yuu and the others.
"Hey! I can somehow, see them!"Haruhi said
"Uh-oh" Yuu and the gang spoke
Back to Mikan and the others...
"Why did you suddenly stopped walking, Mikan?"Hotaru asked and looked at Mikan. To her surprise, Mikan was sprouting tears from her eyes
"Oh, it's nothing! I-its just that, something caught in my eyes!"Mikan replied while wiping her flowing tears
"It looks to me that the dirt from your eyes is pretty big, since your tears won't stop flowing from your eyes"Hotaru said
"Yeah, that mu-mu-must b-be it"Mikan was sobbing and Hotaru approached her
"Mikan, you're turning to ugly mode again, come on, stop crying. You big baby"Hotaru took out her hankerchief and she wiped Mikan's face
"I'm serious Mikan, please, tell me"Hotaru asked
"I, I just don't get him! I was trying to understand him, but he won't let me! I don't know why he's like that! I just, I just wanted to help him! I want to ease his pain and I want to see him smiling and always happy!"Mikan hugged Hotaru and she blurted out those words. Then...
"Ruka, Natsume"Hotaru let go of Mikan and Mikan wiped her tears
'Mikan' Natsume and Ruka looked surprised by what they heard from Mikan
'Oh my gosh! Did he heard what I just said?!' Mikan gasped and the four of them stared at each other
