He got out of his red Ferrari and immediately heard the girls start squealing. For some reason they always did that when he passed by. He rolled his eyes and kept on walking, lost in his own thoughts as he recalled his wet dream yet again.

Natsume realized how awake he was and wondered if this was one of the first and only times that he would be so awake at 7:00 A.M. when he'd just reached campus. Probably.

Just then he spotted his best friend Ruka. How the hell did he manage to get so awake in the morning, besides drinking that disgusting coffee his room mate made. That shit was as disgusting as you could get...

"Yo, Ruka, what's up?"he said.

"The sky...*sigh* life is so nice," his friend had the same dreamy quality he usually had only when he'd just met a new girl whom he really liked, which was often. Either that or he'd just gotten laid, in this case he'd probably gotten laid the night before, which was also usually the case. Ruka just could never seem to find his perfect girl, though he kept searching. For Ruka, the perfect girl was sexy, hot, pretty, interesting, and at least only one level below his intellectual level. It was pretty impossible, because nowadays all the girls were either one or the other. Life was hard for some...

"Yeah, whatever. You're in your weird mood again, aren't you?"

"Yeah...Is it that obvious?"

"Sadly, yes."

"Oh, well. I think thats good. Hey have you heard that to day you're gonna get a new classmate? Heard she's pretty smart, maybe she'll be to your liking."

"Haha. Very funny but you're just gonna have to keep on wishing." he muttered as he rolled his eyes. He pulled up his sleeves for lack of anything better to do with his hands.

"You never know..."

"Go keep dreaming about whatever is making you look so high so early in the morning, will ya?"

"Grum-py. Oh, and its that-"

"I don't even wanna know anymore. See ya later cause I'm a go over to my hiding place." And just like that Ruka got caught off and left stranded halfway across campus. Just where the hell was his so called hiding place? It'd become very famous because no one, not even him, knew where it was.

She got off the bus and ran across her new campus so that she could have at least 15 minutes in the office before her first class of the day started. She took what she had dubbed The Shortcut when she had studied the campus map.

She ended up cutting through a small grove of different types of fruit trees. When she was about halfway through the grove she saw the most beautiful and tallest sakura tree ever. She stopped for a few minutes to admire it and finally payed attention to her surroundings. No one was around here, not a single student. it seemed like this small place had been forgotten by those who attended the university, but not by all because it seemed to be well taken care of.

Just then she noticed a boy lying under the sakura tree. She couldn't see his face because he had a manga covering it, as if he had fallen asleep while reading it. All she could see was his body and a few strands of onyx black hair. One of his arms was pillowing his head and the other was stretched out to the side. His long legs were slightly spread as his flat looking, along with a very muscly chest that rippled even through his long sleeved shirt with taut forearms that was visible because of his pulled up sleeves, breathed to regular, sleepy beat.

She stared at him a while, then decided to keep on walking. Mikan noticed that as she was passing through the grove and as she had stared at the boy whose face she had yet to see she had not once thought of that lemony dream she had had last night. Just then she reached the building that she had to go into so that she could let the school know that she was here. Mikan was still amazed at the good luck she'd found when she had gotten this scholarship for her last two years of university.

She had a feeling that everything was going to be just fine, heck, maybe even better than fine. She had the feeling that these two years would change her life forever, but in a really good way. Hopefully her instinct were correct.

"They'll work out."

"Are you completely sure?'

"As positive as you can be with as little information I have on them. My instinct tells me that they will work out perfectly as partners."

"OK, well we won't tell them anything until we have more data on them and how their relationship may develop. After all, this is one of the riskiest things we've done so far. We are pairing up two of the most dangerous people in the world together."

"I know what you're getting at. This is a...delicate situation, I guess you could call it. I'll keep on collecting what we need."

"Go ahead and do that. Get as much data as you can. If we pair them up and something goes wrong, we may just have ended up making these two college kids have a) the most power in the world and b) the ability, power, and influence to destroy us."

"Yes, yes, I know you don't have to keep on reminding me. I know what's at stake as much as you do. I'll take care, and warn my agents to be careful. I'll call you later on during the night, when I know more, ok?"

"Yeah, bye."

"Bye"

She walked through the longest way possible to pass the time. She had no friends, and she expected it to stay that way. She was sooo not a people person, they were usually so annoying and demanding.

Just like everyone else that Hotaru had met throughout her life. Te few people she had actually gotten close to had only broken her, cracked her open, took what they wanted and just left.

And broke her heart.

Like he had.

He'd used her, tore her, took her most prized possession, and thrown her away.

What was with people that nowadays all they did was become 'friends' but end up breaking them, making everyone disposable, as if people were just tissues?

Hotaru would never understand those who thought like that, or even did it unwillingly, they did it none the less. And that's why she stayed away from them all.

Which could account for why she was currently studying and roaming through the buildings while everyone else gathered around campus with their 'friends'. People were so obvious and predictable.

She sat down in the next unpopulated and forgotten bench she saw and sat down to study for her business test today. She didn't need to, but this was just one of the many reasons she always got the top scores in her section.

But even though she liked forgotten places so much because they were lonely and solitary like her, even she didn't know about the small grove of different types of trees all just meshing together as if they were all one and yet not a single tree was the same type as the one next to it.

And even Hotaru, for all her ways, didn't know about the big, beautiful forever blooming sakura tree right in the exact center of the small grove.

Even she didn't know.

Ruka walked the opposite of the lovely purple eyed Hotaru whom he had yet to meet. And his thoughts consisted of the new student and of his best friend Natsume.

Just where the hell did he always go off to? And why was it such a 'big secret' that he couldn't even tell him? He hated when he went off like that without telling him anything.

It just wasn't normal.

Just then he saw the object of his high like mood earlier a few feet away.

Her name was Sumire, and he thought that maybe, just maybe she was truly the one. His other half.

He woke up just as she turned to leave. T first he thought he was dreaming again. But then he noticed where he was and his mind woke up.

All he could see now was a figure retreating pass his grove.

Who was it? He couldn't seem to recognize her from the back.

Why was she here? He didn't know anyone who knew about his grove.

But more importantly, how had she found his grove? Not a single person knew about it, nor was it listed in the campus maps. And he thought he had protected this place by using...that.

Oh well. He guessed he had to wait till another time to know. He thought of who the girl could be, but not for long for his mind quickly wandered back to the girl of his dreams.

The girl from his dreams.

From his dream.

From his wet dream.

Oh my friggin' God he'd had a wet dream! Just what was the world coming to? Was he going crazy? Why a wet dream? Couldn't it just have been a change in his tastes?

But nooo...that was perfectly fine. It showed in the looks of the girl he'd dreamt about. But he hadn't dreamt about her just for her looks. There'd been so much more.

Well, this would definitely be his last wet dream! Not a single one more! Ever! Or else he'd die!

Do you hear my, dick? Not a single wet dream more! EVER! GOT IT?

And with this jumble of thoughts he started walking to his first class of the day. And his last thoughts before he went into the building where his first class would be held were if he'd ever find the girl he'd dreamt about, if she was real, and just what surprises he'd find in his classes today.

And he never imagined that his thoughts were so in sync with that of the girl that he kept thinking about, that at that exact moment they both thought of the same exact thing.

And neither realized that the person they couldn't stop thinking about was right across the hall as they both walked to their first class in a very hectic day.
