Chapter 3: Care to explain?

What. The. Hell.

How did they know her? Is she still alive? Damn. I mustn't have heard them right. What's happening right now?My thoughts got cut-off as I heard Hyuuga speak.

"You heard us right, little girl" Hyuuga said. He was currently looking at the pictures of me and hotaru, which is hanging by the wall. I would've yelled at him again, but damn. I'm confused. Did I say I didn't hear them right out loud?

"Sakura-san, your best friend sent us here."I sat down on the couch, facing them. How would they know her? She would've told me if she had a boyfriend or not. I looked at Nogi-san, I guess he knows how I'm feeling right now.

"What about her?" I finally managed to croak out. I could feel sky-blue and crimson-red staring at me. You can't really just expect me to be all 'Oh! What about her? Did I tell you she died ten years ago?'? That's completely retarded. No offense. Plus, it's not just me.

"Well, like I said, she sent us here."

"Yes I hear you the first time, but why? Where is she?" I asked. Nogi-san took a big breath and started to explain. Meanwhile, the pervert sat right beside him, reading my manga. Without asking my permission. Like I said, I'm too confused to even yell at him.

"Well you see, when your best friend died, her soul went into heaven which was a good thing. I believe our lord must've seen what she said to you on that note before she died and decided to hire us for that job. She can't really go back from the dead."

Damn. So instead of her coming back from the dead, she sent two people. What an idiot. Woops, sorry Hotaru. I was just kidding. I mean it. What the hell? I'm talking to myself. Ugh. The day keeps getting weirder and weirder. But anyways, I forgot that note I found ten years ago. It was from hotaru, she wrote a note using her blood. I was disgusted at how she did it. Nevertheless, I kept it. The note was: I'll protect you, when I get to the better place. Mikan. I cried and cried for days after seeing that note. I guess she was still alive after what happened to her, and decided to use her own blood to write. Since it was spilling and stuff. Disgusted as I was, I kept it.

Nogi-san said a lot of things. Unfortunately, I was too distracted by the thought of hotaru being alive. Eck. What am I thinking? He just said she can't be back from the dead.

"I see. Well, how would I be able to trust you people? Tell me your purpose for why you're here." I managed to say, rather coldly that is. Hyuuga's manga suddenly dropped. Next thing I knew, he was right in front of me, grabbing me by the neck. Somehow I wasn't even affected at all. Those red eyes, I can't take my eyes off them as of right now.

"Natsume! What are you doing?" Nogi-san said standing up from the couch. Did I say something to offend him? I don't know what I said though.

"Look here little girl, first of all: Don't call us people. We are.." He got cut-off as Nogi-san held his shoulder. He shrugged it off and looked at me back again. Damn those red eyes. He let me go after we stared at each other. What was that? 'Don't call us people' , that must be it. I'll be quiet about it for now.

"Our purpose here is to protect you from this person named Reo, Sakura-san" Reo? Reo Mori? Could it be? Miyuki and Yuki's brother? He asked me out last year. I declined him nicely; he said he wouldn't give up. But I haven't heard of him since then, I guess he disappeared. Or maybe went somewhere. I don't really know. I got to ask Miyuki or Yuki about this later. What time is it anyways? Gah. I don't even care what time is it. Grandpa will be coming home soon. I should let them out soon.

"I see. Wait, how can I trust you guys right here and then? For all I know, you might be bluffing." I said, crossing my arms in the process. I didn't say the word people this time, due to how Hyuuga reacted.

"Well, I suppose we could let you talk to Master Hota- Imai, her soul." My ears aren't working right. They'll let me talk to hotaru? As in her soul? Holy crap. I change my mind, they could stay here for all I care. Just not that long. Grandpa will jump into big conclusions once he sees these two.

"Really?" I said, my eyes were growing big and I feel tears forming in my eyes. Immediately, I rubbed them off. I don't care if she's a soul or not. I want to talk to her! I miss her like crazy right now. Damn. What if I get fooled? F them then. I'm too young to say the F word. Heh.

"Yes really." Nogi-san said, smiling. Damn. That smile was so cute, I couldn't help but blush. I was looking down not to let Nogi-san notice which was good. He was taking out something from his pocket. Meanwhile, while looking down and looking right to left, I saw Hyuuga. His eyes looked darker than before. I stared at him and he stared at me. Somehow, my blush went away. Looking at him like that, what made his eyes go darker? Our staring contest got disturbed, thankfully I might add. Nogi-san said something about me holding on for a second.

After about five minutes, Nogi-san came out from my bathroom [I told him where it was of course] and opened this wet pearl shaped looking shell. It looked kind of gross. He opened it, and it started growing. I backed away from the sight, causing me to flip backwards from the couch. I heard that bastard Hyuuga snicker at me. I want to kill him right now. He whispered something to himself, but too bad I couldn't hear it.

The pearl shaped shell thingy opened, revealing a TV screen. Woah. New Technology or something? Is this the new thing? Wow. It look seriously amazing when it opened. The screen was pitch black. I saw Nogi-san type something at his remote or phone, I don't know. The screen went white from pitch black. And the next thing I knew, tears were forming in my eyes as I saw her. I looked at Hyuuga and Nogi-san, they were both staring at me. I tried to rub away the tears but they wouldn't go away. Damn. Is this real?

Hotaru.
