CHAPPIE 4. I NEED TO FIND OUT MORE

Well, that was weird. She thought, putting on her uniform, it was still too early for rushing into it; breakfast was still thirty minutes after.

She knew she couldn't really place tracking or spying devices in or around Ruka's room, his animal friends could get wind of it. She wouldn't risk that. She first had to get all the information she can, and to get it, she had to get it herself. She looked at herself in her mirror, given to her by her brother, Subaru. More like delivered by the store, and brought by her brother. She had to keep this a secret, so she had to be careful around Koko, because if her brother ever knew she was spying. Then she'd get a long letter as worse as getting a lecture from her brother himself.

She was finished, tugging on her skirt, after wearing it for a few years now, she was still uncomfortable, especially now that they were in high school, she was thinking it was too short for her, and so did her brother who had already graduated a few years before and often went to Central Town and to the school to check on her.

She went out of her big room, which was larger than the room she entered last night. She walked slowly, carrying her panda carry-all bag. Later, she was out of the building, she glanced at the path ahead of her, she could see no one, she then thought of waking up Mikan, but decided against it. She had tried that a few times before and Mikan had continued to sleep on blissfully.

She stood there for a few minutes, then walked to the tree she went to last night. She couldn't climb it now when she was wearing a skirt. She grabbed her bag and got a rope. She eyed a tree branch, and aiming for it, she threw the rope into the air.

The rope caught on the tree branch, and she got invention no. 087, a rope which is made especially for people who don't want to climb trees, manually, like her.

The rope followed the previous rope and attached itself to the tree. Hotaru tugged hard on it, feeling that it was safe to carry her-she's no lightweight-she sat on the swing ttached to it and automatically she was raised. Facing another window from which she could see Ruka still sleeping. Hm, he'll be late for breakfast if he doesn't wake up soon. She continued to stare at the sleeping boy.

She looked at her watch which was another one of her inventions. Aside from telling the time, day of the month, month, and year, it could also tell you the altitude, and it could show her her location in anywhere she goes so she wouldn't get lost with the help of a small satellite she had sent to space just last year.

Almost breakfast. Ruka stirred in his sleep, his golden hair tousled. She grabbed an acorn from the tree and threw it at Ruka's head. She immediately pressed the button for her to be laid down and stopped when she saw a squirrel on its way up. She stopped the squirrel from its ascent with her death glare.

"You saw me?"

The squirrel seemed to swallow.

"If you did, you are dead and roasting to be served for Ruka as his breakfast 10 minutes from now."

The squirrel twitched his whiskers, she took that as approval.

"Again. Did you see me?"

The squirrel moved from side to side, searching for something, and then moved its head to mean no.

That was obviously all she could get from the animal, so she had to content herself with that. She continued her descent. The animal wouldn't tell she can be sure of that; she had tried it many times with other animals whenever she followed Ruka.

She could have done the same thing if the number of animal friends he had weren't so numerous that she couldn't track all of them.

In class….

The substitute teacher didn't show up again today so they had a lot of free time. She was seated beside Mikan whom she had asked to nullify their place as protection against Koko's mind-reading alice. She endured Mikan's chatter as she tinkered one of her inventions and thought of using Mikan to ask Ruka. She changed her mind, the screwdriver a mere centimeters from Mikan's mouth, but she was staring at her invention absentmindedly that she didn't notice that the chattering had stopped.

Mikan giggled nervously, words sputtering out of her mouth incoherently. The screwdriver came back to the gadget with a vengeance.

They always went to Central Town. But that was only once a month, and they already used that once a month, and she didn't go with them.

Right. If they went to Central Town, Ruka would certainly have the other man to go there. She dug her screwdriver deeper, then turned it clockwise just as strongly. She just have to know the timing. And she was impatient about these things. She have to have them go to Central Town this Saturday. The other days in between would have to be occupied with thoughts and thinking and planning of whatever she must do to catch them in act.

She next got the long nose-if you're not familiar with this, this is just hat my father calls the heavy thing that is not a scissor but cuts wire more efficiently than scissors, so I'm using it-and tried cutting the 5 centimeters thick wire. It was easier if she used her invention made especially for this, but she felt like exerting all her emotions on doing this manually. She didn't know why she was so caught up emotionally in this spying of hers.

She looked at her design then at what she had done already. She had messed up one part of the design. She leaned on one elbow as she studied where she had gone wrong, not noticing that the long nose's sharp point was pointing at Mikan's pert little nose, and had her sputtering, and giggling nervously again.

From one corner of the room, Natsume had his eyes closed and his arms crossed. A manga covered half of his face. Ruka was smoothing the fur between Usagi's ears. Natsume opened one eye and looked at his trusted friend.

He closed his eye again, but remarked, "You're thinking."

"uhn."

He straightened as he stood up and looked at Ruka. He needn't ask his friend, he was already at the door.

"Hey, Natsume." He was calling out to him. "Are we going out?"

Heads didn't turn. Their classmates were used to such displays. But Mikan suddenly stood up, and pointed a finger at him, the other hand on her hips. What had he done wrong this time?

"Ruka-pyon! I can't believe it!"

Oh, that, as if she wasn't used to this already.

"Shut up, polka-dots. Get used to this. As if…" he casually said while walking to the door where he was waiting. Hotaru was still bent over over what she was doing. He turned as Natsume came closer, and saw a paper airplane flying towards Natsume's head, but before it could hit the target, it burned to ashes. As they walked away from the room, they heard Sumirei shout at Mikan.

"Stop bothering them, Mikan."

"I could, and I would, Permy, the teacher would be back and they wouldn't be here! They'll be gone for the entire period!"

"They've got the right to do it, baka!"

They heard the murmur of a low but strong voice. Hotaru defending Mikan.

And he thought. Why didn't she blackmail me last night? That's what she always does when she goes into my room before. Something's definitely up her sleeve, he should tell his animal friends to tell him if ever they found her doing something suspicious. Not that all she did was suspicious for him. That acorn really hit me smack in the head. I should not forget that, too. Whoever did that will get more ten a bear visiting him.


Ooooooooo, how will Hotaru get them to Central town? Once there, what will they do?

More of hotaru's enthusiasm for her self-assigned job is going to be wicked up to the point- oops! No more, no more

Ruka is not gay! Think why Hotaru thought him otherwise in chapter 2 ok? But only if you don't get why… -you're all smart so I believe you've figured it all out…proceed to chappie 5!
