Everyone seemed to respond nicely to the first chapter, so I hope you all like the second as much as the first!

"So the aura kid finally said something to you, did he?" Umeda asked Mizuki who had just told him about the night before.
Mizuki looked up at him with a confused look, "What do you mean?"
Umeda sighed, "He's a smart kid. I bet he knew all a long."
Mizuki looked hurt, "Then why didn't he say something sooner?"
"Hey don't ask me. I told you when I found out but I can't speek up for others. Why don't you just go ask him?" Umeda said.
"I've been trying to avoid him. I don't want him to tell Nakatsu." she said in dispair.
"He seems likea farely good kid. I don't think he'd go out and blab your secret to the world, but incase he does you can go ask him not to." Umeda said, opening a newspaper to read.
"Your right. I'm not going to let this get me down! I'm going to confront him so I have a clear concious for the rest of the summer!" Mizuki said, determined. "Thanks Umeda!" she said as she ran out of the room, in search for Kayashima.
She found him sitting under the tree in back eating lunch with Nakatsu and Sano.
"Hey Mizuki." Nakatsu said waving to her with food in his mouth, "What took you so long?"
Her stomick groaned at them when she sighted the food they all had. "Uh, I was just seeing Docter Umeda for a moment." she told the boys.
Sano glanced at her, "Are you not feeling well?" he asked her, throwing a can of peach juice at her to catch.
"Thanks." Mizuki said and started gulping down the sweet drink, "No, I just needed to see him about something."
Kayashima who was laying on his stomick eating his food, scooted closer to Sano to make room for Mizuki to sit down with them.
"Um, Kayashima? Would you mind if I talked to you for a second?" she said, refusing to sit.
Nakatsu gave them open mouthed looks and Sano tilted his head to one side in question when Kayashima hopped up from where he was and said, "Sure Ashia. Let's walk this way." He said heading towards the back of the school.
They walked in silence for what seemed like a long time. "You don't have to worry." Kayashima told Mizuki after a while.
Mizuki looked to him surprised. He chuckeled and explained, "I can tell your scared, but I won't tell your secret."
Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief, "Your the only student at this school who knows. I was so worried you'd turn me in, or worse... tell Nakatsu."
That made the other boy laugh, "I promice not to tell anyone, especially Nakatsu."
Kayashima put his hands in his pockets and gave the girl by his side an encouraging (very small) grin, "And if you ever need something, I'll try to help with whatever I can."
She was so relieved. So relieved that she started crying, "Thank you so much Kayashima. Your such a good friend." And she pulled him into an embrace.
The boy was slightly taken back by this, but in the end he returned the gesture by placing his arms around his classmates waist.
Nakatsu and Sano peeked around the corner of the building to catch a glimce of the two. From a distance all you could see was laughing, smiling, cryingand... HUGGING! WHAT? Nakatsu wouldn't stand for his roommate getting the guy he wanted. He was about to yell and go beat Kayashima to a pulp, except Sano put his hand over his mouth and pulled him away from the two.
Eventually Ashia broke away blushing, "Ahaha. Sorry, I was just so happy."
He nodded. They started heading back to the tree where the others sat when Mizuki asked her friend, "How did you find out?" Hoping he didn't find out the same way Umeda did.
"Your aura." he told her. It was one not entirely truthful but one that she'd probably accept. It was also Sano's aura. And a few other things but those two imparticular.
They had reached the tree where Sano sat, sleeping, and Nakatsu sat, glairing at Kayashima. Mizuki's stomick groaned loudly and she blushed, embarassed, "I guess I'll go find some lunch. Be back soon guys."
As soon as Mizuki walked into the building Nakatsu leaped at Kayashima. "What are you doing?" Kayashima asked him, while being tackled.
"Mizuki's mine!" Nakatsu yelled at him, trying to wrestle him into some painful position.
The roommate scoffed, "No s--" he paused. He was about to say she, "Uh... Why can't you just let him make up his own mind?" Kayashima asked, while having his arm twisted around behind his back.
Nakatsu growled, "Arg! I do! So long as I'm the one he chooses!" They rolled around some more.
Kayashima was getting slightly irritated by his friends violence towards him. He was able to stand up and push Nakatsu to the ground.
"Taiki Kayashima! What do you think your doing?"
Kayashima looked in the directon of where his name was called and saw Nanba coming towards him. Nakatsu took advantage of Kayashima and tackled him to the ground once more.
"Whoa! Nakatsu! Stop!" Nanba ran towards the two boys fighting.
Nakatsu was trying to wrestle Kayashima into some painful possition (which were never very painful considering how flexible Kayashima was) and Kayashima was trying to get Nakatsu off of him.
Nanba grabbed Nakatsu's shirt and yanked him off of the other boy. Once Kayashima was free he jumped upand whiped his bloddy lip. Before anymore could happen Nanba started yelling, "I don't know what is going on here but I'm soon to find out! Come with me!" he said letting go of Nakatsu's shirt and pushing both boys in the direction of a bench.
"As your R.A. I am ashamed that you two are fighting eachother. You two are friends! Friends don't beat up eachother!" he said, throwing them down on the bench. Scolding them visiously.
"Nakatsu! I want to hear your side of the story first." he told the boy with bleached hair.
Nakatsu pointed at Kayashima, "He's going after Mizuki!"
Nanba paused, then scoffed, "Is that all?" he asked. Nakatsu paused a minute and then nodded. Nanba sighed and turned to the other, "Kayashima, what's your side of the story?"
"He just tackled me. I was defending myself." he said, stating the truth.
Nanba turned back to Nakatsu, "You know Nakatsu, other people are allowed to go after Mizuki."
"I wasn't going after Mizuki." Kayashima protested.
Nakatsu looked hurt, "Don't lie to me! I saw you two together! You were hugging!"
"Just because he gave me a hug doesn't mean that we're automaticly together. I told him I would help him on his Japanese History homework." he lied.
Nakatsu stopped. He finally was able to amit a soft, ashamed, "Oh..."
Nanba huffed at the two of them and rolled his eyes, "Well if that's settled with. Kayashima, you might want to go see the docter about your lip."
Kayashima walked off to go see Umeda. Nakatsu, feeling ashamed went to his room. Nanba went off to do whatever Nanba does. Sano was just waking up and Mizuki was just sitting down to eat her lunch.
Kayashima walked into his dorm. Nakatsu was sitting on his bed and he looked to his friend who had just walked in. Before Kayashima could say anything Nakatsu burst out blubbering. "I am so sorry! Waaaa!" he cried into his roommates shoulder. The boy who could see auras just chuckled a bit and forgave him.
That week went faster than anyone could imagin, and before you knew it, it was summer break. Sano had just finished with his bath when he noticed Mizuki was packing. "Your not finished packing?" he asked her in disbelief.
She nodded, "Well, your just going home so I bet you don't have to pack much."
He shrugged, "You have a point. Don't worry, if you forget something or something just won't fit in your suitcase I'm sure we can provide it."
"Thanks again for inviting me to stay with you. I'm really looking forward to it." she said, beaming from every angle.
Sano chuckled, "Just don't get high hopes. My house isn't anything really fancy, and there's not much to do. You'll probably be bored and wishing you hadn't come."
Mizuki smiled, "I'm sure it's not as bad as you say it is."
He scoffed, "Just wait till you see. Go to bed." he said, turning off the light.
Mizuki had to feel her way up to her spot on the top bunk, when she fell asleep, dreaming of what awaited her.
