Chapter Eight:

"What the---?" He sat up, sweating after a bad dream. He looked at his hands, his body.

'I'm alive.'

He went out of his bed, out of the room and made his way to someone's room. He roughly opened the door of that someone's room. Apparently, she didn't wake up. He walked up to her bed, watched her sleep. He sat onto her bed.

"Mikan?" He said as he touched her hair.

'I'm alive and she's alive. RUKA!'

He quickly left the room and ran into that person's room, he roughly opened the door again. No one was there, the bedroom was all fixed.

"Ruka? Ruka!" He shouted through the room. "Ruka? Where are you?" He broke down. 'Did he take Ruka?' He thought as he clenched his fists. He walked out of the room slowly, he doesn't really know where to find him, he'll just have to wait. He made his way back into the room he went last, Mikan's room. She was still sleeping, as usual.

'That idiot, she's gonna be late.'

Frankly, when he closed the door behind him, the girl woke up.

"Natsume! What are you doing here?" She asked.

He didn't say anything, there's no point asking if she knows where Ruka is, since she's been asleep.

"Where have you last seen Ruka?" I asked instead.

She was still in bed, she raised a finger to her chin.

"Hmm... I was with him yesterday, afternoon. He's your bestfriend, you should know right?" She said.

He thought deeply. 'Was I with him yesterday?' He thought as he walked out of the room, he ignored Mikan's call. 'Why don't I remember anything from yesterday? Did something happen? No, Mikan's alive but where is Ruka. If something happened, I should know. I wasn't drunk yesterday. Why can't I remember anything?'

He went back to Mikan's room.

"Did something happen yesterday?" He asked.

Mikan started to talk about senseless things of what happened yesterday. It was useless.

'If something did happen, Mikan would know. I know it. Mikan would know what happened, but she doesn't. So, nothing happened, but where's Ruka?' He went out of the room again, leaving Mikan raising an eyebrow.

He wonders why he's not that angry, maybe because he's still confused of what is happening. He saw Hotaru walking through the hallway.

"Imai, have you seen Ruka?" He asked. She shook her head.

'Maybe she knows what happened.'

"Did something happen yesterday?" He asked again.

She looked up.

"Nothing big." She said with the same emotionless voice.

He let out a sigh and continued walking.

'This is weird. No one has seen Ruka, then where IS he?' (A/N: Isn't it weird that he thinks Ruka's lost because no one has seen him when he just asked two people?)

He walked around the forest, still hoping he would run into his bestfriend.

"Ruka?"

'He couldn't be lost. He wouldn't take him, that was just a bad dream. But where is Ruka?'
