Sorry for the late update. Having to update two stories is quite hard after all.. *sigh*.. oh well, the end is near..

Oh and sorry if it's short O.o (not in the mood to explain such matters)

The Love Note

Chapter 9: Ms. Sly Is Caught By Mr. Creep

"Nice house," Kazuki commented as he looked at the furniture on the walls.

"Really? Your house is bigger, Senpai," Ruka replied, blushing. Well, not on the gay side, of course. It was just that Kazuki, although not the smart kind, is one of the most cheerful and carefree angel in school.

Kazuki Hiruka, a seventeen teenage male angel studying at Yu Niversity. He is dubbed as 'humongous idiot'. He is last in all tests and skips classes so often as if he is simply breathing.

Kazuki sneezed then sniffed around. "I hate colds. It lowers my intellect by 35% and concentration by 50%." He sniffed again, "Oh yeah, where's your sister?"

"She's.. I don't know. She's been missing, up to something most likely," Ruka replied anxiously. He's starting to worry about his sister. But not only that, he's also getting nervous on what his sister might be planning.

The last time his sister was like that was when they were still five. As the Cu-Pid, Ruka was given a bow while Hotaru received the arrows, but whenever Ruka needed the arrows, Hotaru wouldn't give them and stab it in the target instead. The next day, the bow went missing and after five years, he found it in Hotaru's room.

"She's smart ne?" Kazuki said with a dreamy smile.

"How come you only compliment my sister when we both par in intellect?" Ruka asked.

"Eh? You're smart, yes. It's just that your sister is on the 'sly' side. In simple language, she's more interesting than you!" Kazuki exclaimed, laughing. He became serious once again and started sniffing. "Hmm? Smells fishy.."

Kazuki examined every corner of the house. "Senpai," Ruka said, "Are you, perhaps, wanting to be a detective? The way you look at the house is.. well, offending."

Kazuki raised his palm, signaling Ruka to be quiet. He crept into Pid's room and threw away the painting on the wall. "AHA!"

Ruka raised an eyebrow as Kazuki did weird things to the vault. "Senpai, you shouldn't do that. Pid will slaughter you if she finds out."

Kazuki turned around with a grin and raised a notebook. Ruka stuttered in shock, "Th.. that is.."

I lay in bed, turning and turning around. Who would have thought I'd fall in love with Natsume. That.. devilish guy. Ugh! What is wrong with me? Have I gone insane ever since that winged guy came here telling me about some stupid notebook? Talking about that stupid notebook, where is Ruka!? Isn't he supposed to take responsibility for this? I am so going to pray for his banishment from heaven!

"Hey," I sat up and saw Ruka sitting on my chair. "I have bad news for you. And good news, if you just didn't pick Natsume over Anima. Meaning, double bad news."

"Speak of the devil and the devil will come," I muttered. "So what's the bad news about?"

"That.." Ruka pointed at the love note on the table. "..is fake."

It took me seconds to understand what he said. "It's.. fake?" I frowned. "What crap are you talking about? If that's fake then Natsume doesn't actually.." The truth dawned upon me. I hate dawn. "..it's all an act?"

Ruka sighed. "Yeah, an act."

I bit my bottom lip and rushed out of the door. I could hear Ruka shouting my name, telling me to stop, but I have to confirm the truth. I want to hear it straight from Natsume's mouth.

I was about to rush inside the gate of Natsume's house when I spotted him outside. I hid behind a post and peeked. He was talking to a girl. I gasped. It wasn't just any ordinary girl. It was an angel, just like Ruka.

"What's wrong?" Natsume asked.

"They've found out about the notebook. They know I took it. Sorry, but it's time to stop the act," the girl replied.

I took a step back. Snap! I looked down. Fucking twig! I looked back at them, Natsume was looking at me. I quickly ran away.

"Mi.. Mikan!" Natsume called out as he ran after me. I shuddered. Was it the first time he called me by my name?

I continued running, but I knew I was no match against Natsume. In a few seconds, he already had my hand in his grasp. I shook his hand away. Realizing he wouldn't let go, I slapped him. "It's over, bastard!" I shouted in his face and ran home.
