Chapter Nine:

'I've got to find Ruka.' He thought as he walked around the school grounds. He started to sweat because of this worrying. 'No, Ruka couldn't have gone now..'

He went to Ruka's room again, still, no one was there. He went to the forest, no one was there.

'Where the hell is Ruka?'

He went into the cafeteria, he saw Kokoroyomi, Sumire and... Ruka.

"RUKA!" He shouted. Ruka jumped in surprise and walked over to Natsume.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I've been looking all over for you." Natsume answered.

Natsume started to walk out of the cafeteria, Ruka followed him.

"What's up?" Ruka asked.

"Ruka, did something happen yesterday?" Natsume asked.

"No, nothing much." Ruka answered while walking and patting his rabbit.

"I had a dream, Ruka. A bad one." Natsume started. "Persona wanted me to kill Mikan, which I assume is for his own sake only. And if I don't kill Mikan, he'll take you. And in my dream, I died for you guys, I got shot by Persona and Mikan was really depressed considering she's my girlfriend and then I woke up. I found Mikan in her bed and now, I thought you were the one that's lost and turns out, you werw with Kokoroyomi all along."

Ruka laughed. "Good thing that's just a dream, don't you think?"

Natsume nodded in reply as they walked into the dormitories. They separated when Ruka got into his room, while Natsume headed for Mikan's.

He opened the door.

"Polka-dots!" He shouted. Mikan went out of the bathroom with a toothbrush inside her mouth.

"Stop calling me that!" She shouted even with a toothbrush in her mouth. She took the toothbrush out of her mouth as Natsume sat down her bed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"What? Am I not allowed to be here?"

"You're not my boyfriend so you----"

"What did you say?"

"I said, you're not my boyfriend so---"

Natsume stood up and left immediately.

'Even our relationship was a dream?'
