MUST READ: This chapter is in Hotaru's point of view, meaning, she's the one thinking here.
AND this chapter happens way back before the first chapter. :)
Oh yeah, if you forgot… Ruka = Cu/Copper, Hotaru = Pid

The Love Note
Chapter 3: Pid (Hotaru)
---Hotaru's Point of View---
I sat on the grandiose chair I had just bought. Ruka came in, troubled.
"Pid, have you seen my salary for the month? I lost it," he asked.
"Lost it? Maybe someone stole it," I replied, keeping my cool.
"But it was just on top of the dining table!"
"Good luck on finding it then."
Ruka searched for a while more then left. I rested my head on my hand. Stupid brother. Is it my fault if I 'accidentally' saw a 'lost' salary on the dining table? There are three reasons to call it 'lost'. First of all, there was no name on it. Second, nobody stopped me when I got it (of course, I got it while nobody else was around). Third, I want it. Anyway, all he does with it is put it in the bank. If he's going to keep his money, can't he at least just put it on display? At least by that, it's easier to get (steal). He says it's for emergency, but what if the emergency is that he got his feet cut off? How's he going to walk to the bank to get the money? If he placed it on display, at least I can get it (without the 'for him').
Tch. He's really making things hard for me.
I searched for something in my pocket. When I got it, I stared idly at it. It was an eraser. Sounds stupid but the council told me to take care of it while my brother has the notebook.
The two are part of the Love Package, or whatever it is. Your write in the notebook to make two people fall in love, and if you want to undo what you wrote, you use the eraser. Ripping the page apart and other things won't work. It HAS to be the eraser.
It's understandable, really, that he's given the notebook. I rarely ever do my job as an angel of love anyway, but Cu is.. well, he doesn't hide things that are supposed to be hidden. Well, he does hide it, but since the hiding place was my idea, I know where it is.
I stood up and went inside his oh so clean bedroom. At least he's good at cleaning. I opened his drawer. I took everything inside out. I got his favorite pen and removed the ink tube. I placed it underneath the drawer, through a hole, and pushed. The second layer of the drawer got lifted and I removed it. Without the second layer, the notebook is out in the open.
The hiding place was my idea, actually. I made it so that Cu would trust me and so that I wouldn't have to waste my time finding out where the notebook is hidden. I know I'm a genius, so you don't have to compliment me anymore.
I took everything back to how it was, except the notebook, of course. I went to my bedroom and took out a fake notebook which looked exactly like the Love Note. I placed the real Love Note inside a secret vault.
I kneeled down and used my hand to push aside the cloud floor (yes, heaven has clouds for floors after all, and it is NOT edible). I grinned at the hole and dropped the fake notebook to earth. May it go to happy hands. I closed the floor again and returned to my chair. Ruka came just in time for my evil act to have finished. He goes to his room, my eyes following him. He checked the notebook and freaked out when it wasn't there.
"Pid, have you seen the Love Note?" He asked me. I pointed down. "What?"
I replied, "I saw it fall down to Earth."
He was frozen for a second then dread fell upon his face. "EH? But I thought we hid it!? And how'd it fall?"
"Dunno." I picked up the ringing telephone. After speaking, I put it down. "The council is calling for you."
"ARGH!!!" Ruka ran out of the house. Really, I'm starting to pity him. Just starting, but not really. Even if his feet do get cut off, I won't pity him since he didn't put his money on display.
I placed another hole on the floor and jumped down. I used my wings to land safely on Earth. I looked around. There she is! She looks normal. Idiotic, to be exact. The notebook is inside her bag hmm? Turning invisible, I went to her and got the notebook which easily went invisible at the touch of my hand.
I opened it, curious of what the girl wrote. I raised an eyebrow. What on earth is this? Ah, did she think this is the Death Note? How stupid of her. I looked around, looking at the ID of all the boys. Finally, when I found one with the name 'Natsume Hyuuga', I followed him. He went to his home and did his stuff. Finally, when he was just reading a book, I turned visible.
He flinched exactly 0.154 seconds after I turned visible. Is this guy inhuman? To have that kind of reaction speed, he's insane.
"Who the hell are you? And what's with the moving wings behind you? One thing I'm sure… I don't you."
"Well duh." I sat on his bed and he kept staring at me. "Uhm. Ok."
I explained to him what I did. Tricking my brother, being an angel of love, and all.
He grinned when I finished. "Okay. So you're a cosplaying girl who thinks she's an angel of love? Look, I don't have time to bring you to the mental hospital. Walk there on your own. Or do you want me to call your brother so he can go here and talk about how beautiful the world is?"
I sighed. I hate these kind of people the most. I brought out the notebook and threw it to him. He opened it to see what was inside.
"What's this? Did you write this? Isn't this too violent? And gross?" He asked me.
"A girl by the name Mikan Sakura wrote that. Know her? Not like I care though."
He paused for a second then grinned to himself. I was surprised. When he noticed me staring at him, he returned to his serious face. "Okay. So why did you follow me here like a stalker?"
"I want you to help so that my brother does not find out I actually have the real Love Note. In a short while, he will explain about the Love Note to Mikan. If you don't fall in love with Mikan, he'll find out that the one that has fallen was a fake."
Natsume tried to suppress his laughter. "Fall in love with that brat? Hell no. What's in it for me?"
Hotaru grinned. "You can do what you want with her."
Natsume paused for awhile, then grinned back. "Sounds fun."
