This chapter is short because I uploaded Chapter 3 together with this. Both will make you understand the plot in a bigger picture. It may be a bit boring but Chapter 3 will be more interesting. Oh, and thanks to those who reviewed. I love you all. LOL XD

The Love Note
Chapter 2: Cu (Ruka)
I sat in front of my study table, my mind in a rumble. Today was a complete nightmare. I searched my bag and found the notebook. I tilted my head. Why on earth is it here now? Last night, it got lost. Now, it's back? What's this? A walking notebook? I opened it and saw what I had written before. In anger, I crossed everything out until it couldn't be read anymore.
"Doing that doesn't null the effect, you know."
I looked up to see a boy hovering above me with his small wings flapping. "And who or what are you? This day is fudged up! First I get framed and then some unidentified flying object goes talking to me. Tell me, am I insane or am I crazy? Either way, I'm not in the right track of mind!!!!"
He smiled. "Haha. Sorry. It's my fault."
"Of course it's your fault you.. wait.. are you flying?" I rubbed my eyes. He IS flying. Wait. Wait a minute. This is way too much for me. I've been told I'm stupid even before and that my brain is small. Apparently, I've gone to accept that.
(A moment of silence for Mikan to think. Her mind's speed is currently ten kbps.)
He spoke, "My real name is Ruka. In earth, I am called Cu or Copper. I am an angel of love, together with my sister, Hotaru, called Pid in earth. We are the reincarnation of Cupid, born to allow the flourishing of love in earth." He paused for awhile then smiled. "Do you copy?"
"Copy plus paste. Continue," I replied with my brows furrowed.
"Do you know the Death Note? That was made by the Death Gods. We thought the idea as brilliant and came up with our own notebook. The Love Note. By writing the name of two humans on it, we are able to make them fall in love with each other. We only made one notebook though, and it still hasn't been proved flawless, therefore, it is a beta version. It was handed for me to guard while my sister has the eraser to undo what is written on it. Recently, I left it alone while I was attending a meeting with the other angels. When I returned, I found out it has fell down to earth and is now in your hands."
I smiled angrily at him. "Well, so why is this day so messed up then? I wrote Natsume's name on it and now I'm on the verge of death. There should be two names right?"
"Ah, well, didn't I say the notebook was a bit defective? Since you didn't write a second name, it probably thought you wanted him to fall in love with you," Ruka explained. He said it in a way that says 'I pity you'.
"'.. Moreover, He framed me awhile ago. Is that 'LOVE'?"
"Ah well, I didn't actually see anything that happened to you, sorry. I was called by the council. Well, since you wrote hateful words after his name, maybe the notebook thought you wanted him to love you in a.. uh.. weird way?"
I massaged my temples. "Okay, since you're at fault for all of this, get that damned eraser from your sister and erase what's written on the notebook. OKAY!?!?!?"
Ruka smiled and grabbed the notebook from me. With a snap of his finger, the notebook vanished. I was surprised. "What did you just do!?"
"The council is confiscating the notebook. I'm being grounded so I can't help you. Goodluck with your love story, Mikan. I'll see you soon." Ruka winked and disappeared. Son of a.. is he telling me that I have to deal with that Natsume!? I need the eraser and the notebook, dammit. Can't they at least erase what's written on it first before confiscating it? ARGH!!!

The first councilor laughed. "This will be such a nice show, don't you agree?"
The second one looked at him seriously. "This is a mistake. We should be fixing this instead of watching them go gaga on this."
"Hey. We may be the councilors but those two are the angels of love. Let them do their work."
"Do their work? Cu is grounded. Pid is making fun of the situation. How do you think they're going to do their work?"
"Oh, have faith on those two children. Moreover, those two humans being pulled into this situation, aren't they interesting? One's an idiot and one's a sadist. I haven't seen such a pair for over a century already. Maybe they actually match. Let's just watch them from now."
The second councilor sighed, knowing there isn't anything he can do.
