*Chapter 8*

"Natsume, I can explain…", Ruka started with an apologetic look.

Natsume wasn't going to let him explain, he had his own theories. "That's Megumi isn't it?"

Ruka only took a big breath. "She's not related at all to Megumi" Natsume's eyes widened, she looked exactly the same. Ruka kept talking, "It's a different case than yours. You knew I always loved Megumi but she always loved…someone else", he paused for a moment making up his sentences in his mind. "I don't understand it either. Sometimes I would think that someone saw how much I suffered and let me have this identical girl"

Natsume only rolled his eyes, he meant some kind of God who had mercy on him? "I entered the room because I didn't feel any other presence but yours. That girl…"

"Has no soul", Ruka finished his sentence. "She was about to die when I found her"

"You made her a vampire?", Natsume asked unable to hide his shocked expression. Never in his years of life had he heard of such a thing as humans turning into vampires.

"Listen Natsume, this is a taboo between scientists", he started looking at his best friend crimson eyes. "If a human is half dead, as a vampire, you could make the human a half vampire if he or she drinks your blood. However, you don't create a real vampire…you create an empty shell unable to stop the desire for blood. The human will not remember who he or she was and will only keep living if he or she takes the blood of the vampire who created him or her"

Natsume blinked trying to process all the information. "And one thing more, she or he has to have the will to keep living. If not, is worthless"

"You created a half vampire?", he asked and received a nod from the blond one. "I'm sorry Natsume, nobody can know about this", he said almost begged for him to keep silent.

"That was all you wanted to tell me?", he asked standing up from his sit. Ruka stood up as well. "There's still something else"

Natsume nodded. "I'll come back later since I have lost track of time and I have a bad feeling about a certain idiot back in the human world"

Ruka only gave him a small smile. "No more secrets", Natsume said before leaving through door.

"Not anymore!", Ruka answered him as the raven haired closed the door behind him.

Hotaru extended her hand, still very curious towards the light beaming in front of her.

"What are you doing?" Natsume asked closing the door behind him, his voiced reflected angriness.

Hotaru gave him the same boring look she always wears. "Can't you see?", she asked sarcastically even though she was surprised by him.

"Stay away from the portal", he warned taking steps closer to the portal. She only gave a few steps back. "Don't come near this ever again", he said about to enter through the portal until a hand stopped him, pulling him back.

It was Hotaru's hand, "Do you hate Ruka because of me?"

"I don't", he answered curtly. He looked at her for the last time, "If you ever harm Ruka, I'll personally kill you", he finally said before disappearing through the portal.

Hotaru could only sighed.

Mikan started walking forward the portal, the light was so captivating. She was so focused on the light that she didn't realize when she just simply found herself on the floor of the room with Natsume over her.

"Hyuuga!", she shouted loud enough to make Natsume's ears hurt.

Natsume rubbed her ears for a moment then realized about the situation. "Did you just appeared from that light?"

He shook his head. "What are you talking about?"

"I saw you! You just appeared from the nowhere", she exclaimed after all she saw it.

Natsume rolled his eyes, "What crazy things are you talking about?", he managed to sound careless but inside him he was looking for a way out of this problem.

"Mikan", he called her startling her. After all, it was the first time he said her name. "Forget", she heard him say, for a strange reason she couldn't move. He gently pressed his index finger on her forehead and closed his eyes. He could see her memories, he still couldn't believe this girl broke the door. Then stopped pressing his finger against her forehead when he reached to the part he wanted for her to forget.

Mikan slowly fainted. However, Natsume stopped her from falling to the floor painfully. He laid her on the bed, he knew he had one minute for her to wake up. So he decided to hide Nozomi's diary on his backpack.

Fortunately for him, he managed to hide it in time. Mikan slowly opened her eyes utterly confused. She then sighed in relief, "I'm glad it was a dream. For a moment I thought I broke the door"

"You did", the voice next to him retorted making her shout in surprise. She didn't expect that!

"Hyuuga!", She stood from the bed in a fast movement. "I remember now I came to get my phone and you didn't answer so I broke the door and after that…am after that?", she tried to recall.

"You fainted thanks to the force you used for breaking the door", he explained. "Of course I didn't answer, didn't I tell you I wanted to sleep?", he stated in arrogance.

Mikan stood speechless. Everything had sense, "T-Thank you", she managed to say but Natsume only rolled his eyes annoyed.

Before anyone could say anything else Yuka's voice was heard from downstairs. "Dinner's ready!"

Natsume decided to skip the dinner, since Mikan was busy eating opened the gate to the underworld once and quickly went to visit Ruka. He said he had something to tell him.

"Have you find something about Nozomi?", he asked in a rush.

"First of all, you have to understand that this is a serious matter, do you even have an idea of what you're getting yourself into?", he asked without expecting an answer since he kept speaking. "Messing with her peace…are you sure about this?"

Natsume took a big breath. What can he do? He still loves her. He's selfish, he wants to see her again, even if she didn't want to see him, he wouldn't care. He needed the answers to the questions that have been bugging him for decades.

"Ruka, I only want to see her again…I need answers", he said deeply hurt.

Ruka smiled weakly. "You can't bring her back to life, but I know someone who can at least let you communicate with her"

Natsume looked at Ruka, his eyes seemed filled with excitement.

"Youichi Hijiri, the soul collector"
