Author's Note: I would like to formally apologize for hitting the princess of Arendelle with my horse. And for every moment after. Review if you know what I'm talking about! :D Wait. That's not how this sentence was supposed to end... I meant to say, I would like to formally apologize for taking months to post the next chapter. I don't even know if there are any people who are still reading this! O.o But if you are... I love you. So... thank you for waiting!

Yuu's POV:

I walked up to the stage, feeling pretty confident in my story.

"Whenever you're ready, Yuu." Narumi sensei said and I nodded back.

"Once upon a time, there were two demon hunters named Mina and Natme." I started. "Natme was a very highly skilled demon hunter while Mina... well, she was below average."

"Ouch, Yuu." Mikan calls out in protest.

I ignore her and keep going. "Mina wasn't called out to very many missions because of her lack of ability. But Natme was because he was very skilled. So he came home very often, feeling tired and beat up. Mina noticed but everytime she tried to reach out to him, Natme brushed her off. Natme didn't want her to get hurt.

One day, Mina asked, 'Why don't you let me get near you?'

And Natme replied, 'I don't want you to.'

Mina noticed that he looked sad and realized that Natme was protecting her.

One day in class, the teachers decided to teach the students how to make rocks. The rock's abilities depended on what kind of demon slaying power you had.

Mina looked at Natme and thought, I want to make Natme a rock to keep him safe.

And Natme thought, I want to make Mina a rock so she'll be safe.

And so they began working and Natme created a large rock on the first try. But Mina kept trying and could only make tiny slivers. Soon, she created a tiny rock that was smaller than a pebble. But it worked.

The lights turned off and the teachers instructed them to randomly bump into someone and give them your rock.

Mina and Natme slowly inched their way close to each other and as soon as the lights turned on, they were right in front of each other and Mina was clutching Natme's hand.

Ever so cheerfully, Mina handed Natme her tiny pebble and said, 'Here! I want to give you my rock!'

Natme was truly happy but hid his feelings and rolled his eyes.

Natme snorted at her tiny rock but was enchanted by it's beautiful orange sunny color that reminded him so much of Mina's personality.

After receiving Mina's stone, they parted. Both feeling happier than ever.

Then, one day Mina realized that Natme disappeared for another mission and was feeling down because he hadn't been home in three days.

After school ended, she went back to her room and cried into her pillow. Suddenly, she heard a swoosh sound and looked up. She saw Natme right in front of her eyes and Natme looked just as surprised as she was.

'Natme! You're hurt!' Mina screeched and started to patch him up with her first aid kit.

'Hn.' Natme grunted.

'How did you get here?' Mina asked.

Natme shrugged. 'I was surrounded by a bunch of demons. And then your rock started to glow. When I touched it, I came here.'

Mina was shocked but happy. 'I'm glad! I created the rock to keep you safe! I'm happy you've been carrying it around.'

Natme just shook his head at how selfless Mina was but said nothing. After she patched Natme all up, Natme handed her his stone that was a crimson color.

'It's beautiful!' Mina gasped as she held the stone up to the light.

Natme rolled his eyes and started to leave but stopped right in front of the door and mumbled so quietly that Mina wasn't even sure she heard him correctly, but he said, 'It'll keep you safe.' And he walked out, blushing and leaving Mina grinning with utter happiness." I finished and took a bow. I held up my picture of two rocks and the entire class applauded.

"That was so beautiful!" Mikan clapped.

Natsume held his face in his hand and sighed. "I'm not even going to ask you how you know about that."

I grinned and winked at him. The scoreboard started to flash and it revealed a 9.

I laughed happily and Ruka groaned along with Sumire.

"Sorry guys." I cheekily grinned, not really feeling sorry at all.

Natsume's POV

Mikan claps giddily and taps her foot impatiently next to me because Hotaru is next.

"Hotaru, go ahead." Narumi nods.

Hotaru gets up as emotionless as always and trudges to the front. She starts speaking without looking at a piece or paper or book.

"Did she memorize it?" I whisper to Mikan.

"Maybe." Mikan giggles.

"Once upon a time, there were two idiots called Makura and Nyuuga." Hotaru says loudly.

I groan even before she says any more.

"They both liked each other and finally started dating after years." Hotaru continues. "So, stupidly, Nyuuga made a promise to call Makura very often so Makura could check up on him. Yet one day, Nyuuga didn't call Makura and Makura became worried sick. She went to Nyuuga's room but couldn't find him, so she worried that Nyuuga had gone on another dangerous mission. Makura cried that night.

Then, the next day, she walked into class and saw Nyuuga nonchalantly reading a manga in his desk. And while Makura was relieved, she was also very angry.

'Nyuuga! Why didn't you call me yesterday?' Makura asked in anger.

'Hn.' Nyuuga grunted. 'I forgot.'

And Makura exploded. She was so angry and said rude comments to him.

Nyuuga also retaliated by saying, 'Then maybe, we shouldn't be dating.'

This tremendously offended Makura and Makura ran out the room, crying.

Nyuuga started to feel guilty and ran after her but it was too late, Makura had jumped off the building in her bleeding agony.

Nyuuga gasped and jumped after her but it was too late. Makura had died. She had committed suicide. And so, Nyuuga did the same and when he went home, he hung himself. The end." Hotaru bowed and showed a very comically tragic photo of Mikan jumping of the roof and Natsume hanging himself.

"I feel like you made that story just to offend me and make me feel even worse." I complained.

"Nah. I just made it up on the spot." Hotaru grinned.

I turned to Mikan but she looked pale.

"Mikan?" I asked.

The scoreboard made a ringing sound to show that Hotaru's score was 10.

"WHAT!" I protested.

"It was so tragic." Anna was crying.

"Like Romeo and Juliet." Sumire sobbed.

My jaw dropped and my palm smacked my head in defeat. The bell rang loudly and I turned to Mikan.

"Hey, wanna go-" I started but Mikan lurched and ran out the classroom.

"Mikan?" I asked and I ran off after her.

Mikan's POV:

I feel like I'm going to throw up. Natsume is chasing after me. What is he doing? I want to be left alone.

"Leave me alone!" I call out.

"Mikan!" Natsume just keeps calling.

I sprint up the stairs to the rooftop and slam the door on him and lock it. He's pounding on the door. The voice is muffled but I can hear him screaming at me to open the door.

I fall to my knees. My head is pounding, my heart is clenching and I can't breathe.

Something weird is happening. I've never felt this before. I feel so weak.

My vision's getting blurry. Natsume punches the glass window in the door and shatters it to a million pieces. The sound of the impact leaves my mind ringing.

What's happening to me?
