CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: THE SUPPOSED-TO-BE CONFESSION
The following day was stating out to be normal as always. And Koko being the excited one, pounced on Ruka's door early morning. And what I mean by early morning, as in 3:00 in the morning. Of course Ruka, being the sleepy head he is, involuntarily opened the door. And found Koko grinning, he always is.
"What can I help you with?" Ruka asked while rubbing his still sleepy eyes.
"You really are a born gentleman, Ruka." Koko commented
"No seriously, what do you need?" Ruka asked again
"Well, I need you to confess to Imai."
"Straightforward, aren't we?" Ruka remarked
"Well, well. What can I say? That's me, and proud to be." Koko said still, his grin never disappearing.
"And you didn't even give me a thrill. You just knocked on my door, barged into my room, and asked me to confess my 'OH-SO-UNDYING-LOVE' for Hotaru Imai. Seriously, what has gotten into you?"
"Just do it, Ruka. Please. I could feel that something might get in the way." Koko's tone was now serious, but still his grin unwavering
"Tell me Koko, are you pulling a prank on me?" Ruka asked "And I thought you were a mind reader, not a clairvoyant."
"I am seriously serious at this very moment. And no, I'm not a clairvoyant. Just my instincts are telling me." Koko insisted
"But your face is not telling me that you are serious." Ruka pointed out
"Oh never mind the face. Just please listen to me, I don't have a good feeling about this day."
"Whatever you say Koko, whatever you say. But I'll try the least I can do." Ruka said with a sigh
"Thank you, Ruka. And... you can now go back to sleep." Koko grinned sheepishly
"That's what I've been waiting to hear from you."
...ooOooOooOooOooOooOooOoo...
Ruka went to class still feeling a bit sleepy, thanks to Koko who interrupted his peaceful slumber. He might not make it in time if he overslept, but thanks to Usagi he was up at 6:35 and right now he is in his seat beside Natsume, who doesn't even care about the world, or about his fangirls.
"This is all Shouda's fault, if only she did not make this retarded fanclub then there will be peace in the morning or in the whole day." said Natsume.
"But remember, those fangirls of yours already love you, as they put it, even before." Kitsu piped in
"Yes they do, but because of that woman they came out of the shadows and started giggling like idiots." Natsume replied
"Be careful with your words Natsume, someone's not liking you language." Yuu stated while looking at Koko
"What now?!" exclaimed Koko, "I don't like that cat, dog, person, or whatever she is. I don't like her!" Koko yelled
"Oh so you mean you love her?" Kitsu teased
"And I also don't love her!" Koko yelled again catching the attention of their classmates
"I never said you do, Koko." Yuu commented dryly
Their group just laughed, even Ruka who seemed to forget his lack of sleep and laughed along as well, and Natsume? He didn't laugh, typical, but a chuckle escaped his lips. But their sound of laughter vanished when they heard the front door click, they expecting it to be Hotaru and her Lady Royales, but instead a boy wearing the Middle School Division's uniform came in naturally, as if he owns the place.
"Where's Hotaru?" he asked, but when he caught sight of Ruka he smirked, "So we meet again... Nogi."
Ruka stood up from his seat and started glaring at the guy, "As for me, I'm not having fun to see you today. Matsudaira." Ruka replied with his tone full of venom. And just in time, the person Hayate was looking for came with the usual girls trailing behind her.
"Oh great, how can I confess to Hotaru if this airhead is here? Oh the joy." Ruka thought
Hotaru noticed something different with Ruka today, then it clicked her. "His aura." she thought. That's what's wrong with him, his deadly aura. An aura that says 'Don't come any closer or you'll regret it.' And instead of his calm facade, it is her first time to see Ruka glaring at something... or at someone rather. That's when she finally noticed a middle schooler standing in front and sending Ruka the same glare. But what caught her attention the most was the black mark on his neck.
"Maybe a mole?" she thought to herself. Whatever the reason why, she must do something. Even if it means lowering her pride. She walked past the guy who greeted her with, "Hello, Cool Blue Sky." but she didn't respond nor looked back, as if he was just thin air. Air... the guy's Alice, a powerful one just like Natsume's. But she didn't care, she just continued walking until she reached Ruka. And without any much talk, she dragged Ruka out of the door, out of the establishment, and onto the Northern Woods.
While in their classroom stood a confused Sumire and a not-so-worried Mikan. And a lot of murmurs can be heard. Natsume stood up indifferently and stared at Hayate Matsudaira, not even blinking.
"Now that they are gone, can you go back to Middle School department already?"
"Oh, don't be so rude with your senior Natsume." Hayate replied
"Out. Or do you want me to drag you there myself?"
Hayate raised both his hands up, "Goodbye then, khouhai." and with that he went out.
"What exactly is happening to Ruka-pyon?" Mikan asked
"Or happened. And why is he glaring at that... Hayete guy?" Sumire asked while wrinkling her nose in distaste at the mention of the person's name.
The boys looked at each other and sighed. "I guess we better find a more quiet place." Yuu started, they stood up and went out. and by the time they found a place wherein they could already tell the two girls, another two girls came in the picture. But no need to worry, those girls aren't lethal. It's just Nonoko and Anna, who also knows the reason as to why Ruka acted that way earlier.
"It's because..."
