"I hate summer."

Soraru look up above, the sky is like---too blue, sometimes makes he feel uneasy.

Since when? Since when he feel lonely like this?
Even now he has many friends around him, so why everything feel wrong?

"What are you doing here, Soraru?"
Ah, it's Suzumu, his closest friend.
"I already searching for you like one thousand times, and now you just sit down here."

Soraru laugh a bit. Seriously, sometime Suzumu can be such a drama-queen.
"I just felt nostalgic in here, I wonder why..."

Suzumu sigh, "Ok, stop with that nostalgic feeling, now, we must go back before Amatsuki become a monster."

"Ugh, fine."

Soraru feel like all of his friends try to hide something from him.

"Anyway, Suzumu, I had a dream?"

"Waw, that's rare. So, what kind of dream that was?"

Soraru thinking, try to remember what he dreamed before---or maybe who.
"It's about a boy, he wasn't normal boy, somehow I feel that he was different,"

"And then?"

Soraru sigh again, "He had a white-silver hair and red eyes---"

Suddenly Suzumu shout "Hey! Isn't that Amatsuki?"

Of course, Soraru looks mad, "Are you really listening to me?"

"U-uh yeah, but---it just a dream, right?"

Yeah, maybe Suzumu is right. But why that boy keep appeared in his dream---almost every night. That boy always cries and say good bye to Soraru---or maybe he just look at Soraru with his emotionless-eyes.

Why he neither laugh nor smile to him?

.

"Soraru-san, please eat your dinner properly,"

Amatsuki's words make Soraru back to reality.

Amatsuki, Suzumu, Kashitarou, Urata, Sakata, Lon, and him. Everyone here. Perfect. But---why he always find someone is missing deep in his heart?

"Fu..."
Soraru surprise, 'Fu'? What's wrong with that word? Why he suddenly say it?
"Huh? What's wrong, Soraru-san?" Lon ask confusely.

"Nah, today he looks unwell, if you feel sick, you can go to sleep early, Soraru." say Suzumu.
Soraru just nod and go to his room without any words.

After they make sure Soraru has go to his room, their atmosphere become harden.
"It's look like he still remember about Mafumafu, what should we do?"
Amatsuki starting the conversation

"I already tried my best to made him forgot Mafu, I know the spell will break soon----but, i don't know this soon!" Kashitaro panicking.

"And the time... is running out." Urata's words doesn't helping either, make the atmosphere more heavy. Everytime they talk about this the more they feel they must finish this as soon as possible, maybe before he go back here.

"Why don't you tell him the truth?"
Suddenly, a mid-range voice interupt their discussion.
Their eyes widening, see a white figure smirking to them.

It's him.

"M-Mafu?" Urata try to call his name.

"Sorry I suddenly barged in and make you all surprised," he smiling, "And yes, Urata-san?"

"Don't be deaf, Urata! How could you addressed this creature as Mafu? Mafu isn't talking like that."

"How cruel, Sakata," he smiling again, more evilious, "It's me, Mafu."

"Lies!" Lon shake her head and arguing, "You're just a dark creature who used Mafumafu-san's body." At the same time she summon her staff, ready to shoot Mafu with her plant magic.

"Uff, ok, don't use your power unless..." he pointing to Soraru's room "...You wanna wake him up, that Soraru guy."

Everyone suddenly freeze and keep silent, that won't be good if Soraru find out what's going on---with Mafu. Because he can kill this creature with Mafu in just a minute. And of course they won't let that happen.

Their goals; Save Mafu and killing this creature before Soraru hurt. But how?

"Let's just announce our battle time. For place, I choose my place." His emotion become stable, he stop smiling, "Remember, next month. Don't forget to bring that Soraru guy. See you next time then."

He fly through window, without break it---of course thanks to his magic so he could do it. He went and leaving many questions in their head.

Why he do this? What's his goals?

***

Unlike before, the sky is bright. That boy just sitting under the pure-white tree, seeing Soraru with his wide-eyes.

"Who are you?"

The first question that popping out from Soraru's mind.

That boy looks like trying to escape from him.
"Don't come near... you'll get hurt... Soraru-san will get hurt because of me." Finally he speak with unbelievable cute voice.

But, Soraru won't listen. He still coming near to that guy.

"I said don't----!!!"

Suddenly, a black figure choking that guy's neck. He looks like that guy's reflection---unless with black hair.

"Isn't Mafu already said not to going further, Soraru-san~?" Say the black figure.

Soraru can't move. He can't even breathe.
So... that guy's name is.. Mafu?
What a nostalagic name...

The dark just swallowing them.
Right, this is just a dream... just a nightmare as Suzumu say.

***

"You broke the promise, Makuro."
Mafu eyes glaring to the black creature.

"No. I didn't touch them, I just talked to them." He reply it with smirk.

"Don't disturb my friends again! Aren't we already promised?!"

Makuro pulled Mafu to his side, and breathing in Mafu's neck, Mafumafu gasped.

"Why, we're one, your friends is my friends to---ah, I mean, you're mine, Mafu."

Mafu shakes his head, refuse that fact, "No, I'm Soraru's."

Makuro laughed hard, an evillious laugh.

"How dare you, Mafu!"

Ah, first, he must playing with that Soraru, hm?

(Mafu=Mafukuro=Makuro; i'm a genius lol)
