His message to her says,"The girl in the story [The Star Money] is just like you, Sakura."
During the Christmas party, he, like everyone else, is saddened that Mikan really couldn't come to the party and sees Natsume leave to go look for her. He later finds Natsume laying in the snow and asks if he's going somewhere again. Ruka is thrilled that Natsume and Mikan were able to see each other and says Christmas is amazing. He then catches Natsume coughing up blood and says that he's known about it for a long time. Ruka asks Natsume not to hide his pain, but let him be his supporter and that he doesn't regret coming to the academy with Natsume. Ruka also says that he will always support Natsume and Mikan's future when Natsume tells him of his fears of dying and leaving Mikan alone. Ruka promises to Natsume that he will take care of Mikan if something happens to Natsume in the near future. He is given mushroom earplugs by Hotaru, along with all of Mikan's friends, because of Reo visiting the school. He and Natsume are aware of Reo's plan to kill the ESP and are shocked of this. Ruka asks Natsume what they should do, but are interupted by Tsubasa and Tono who wish to help them out. Tsubasa and Tono explain to Ruka and Natsume that the only way the academy can remain peaceful is if the ESP disappears forever and they will have to prepare for a confrontation with both the ESP and Z. During their conversation, Koko reads Natsume's mind and says out loud about Natsume proposing to Mikan. Surprised and a bit hurt that Natsume hid this from him, Ruka asks about Mikan's reply, which she accepted, and he congratulates Natsume. Then Koko says about Mikan and Natsume's many kisses, which makes Ruka even more mad and he hits Natsume in a friendly manner while saying he will always support them. On the day of the concert, the boys split up to prepare their plot to overthrow the ESP. Ruka grabs Natsume and tells him that he must be careful and not leave his side.

Ruka and Mikan spend some time alone admiring the view of the lake reflecting the moon, the night before using the warphole to transport to Z's location. He promises Mikan that one day he will give Mikan his Alice stone and she agrees to give him hers (Mikan didn't know about the exchanging of Alice stones meaning soul-mates).

~Story~


Before Story 

Like many Alice children, Ruka was targeted by the academy and went through several kidnappings. All this caused his mother to be very protective of him. To get away from the academy, his family moved several times until settling into a small village. His mother used her money to buy around the clock guards for Ruka and keep guards around the house at all times. She also like to call him her Ru-chan. Around the village, he was quite famous for being an Alice. A girl called him the "pride of the village". However, due to the burden of being an Alice and of his mother's overprotectiveness, he began to feel like a bird trapped in a cage.
One day, when Ruka was eight, Natsume Hyūga moved into the village, and on the first day of school, saved him from kidnappers. By saving him, Natsume had to reveal that he, too, was an Alice. Before this kidnapping, a girl told Natsume that Ruka was an Alice. The similarity between the the two resulted in them becoming quick friends, along with his[Natsume's] sister, Aoi Hyūga. Natsume and Ruka's friendship grew which made his mother realize that she needs to let Ruka have freedom. On the day he spent his night over at Natsume's house, Aoi fell ill and her Alice burned the town down. He and Natsume helped civilians during the fire. However, Natsume took the blame for the fire to protect aoi and the civilans grew to hate him. When Ruka tried to defend him, Natsume purposely hit him at the hospital, so that Ruka wouldn't be troubled. Ruka chose to go to the academy with Natsume which his mother agrees to, seeing Ruka has grown up so much. He chooses to go because he wants to support Natsume. In the car, he and Natsume cried when they saw Mr. Hyūga, who is handicapped, run after the car and they vow to be strong.
Once they arrive at the academy, they are both looked down upon by the older students (Natsume for his rebellious attitude and Ruka for being friends with him). However, their classmates idolize them, but both pay little attention to them. Ruka tries to defend Natsume against the false rumors about him, but is prevented by Natsume. He is also aware of the dangerous missions Natsume does in order to prevent the ESP and Persona from harming Aoi and Ruka. This makes Ruka feel like he is becoming a burden to Natsume, but continues doing what he can do to support him.

Personality (2)

Almost immediately, Ruka becomes attached to Mikan due to her cuteness and cheerful personality. He makes attempts to befriend her and understand her, even if he thinks Natsume will oppose, after noticing that the academy is, too, targeting her. He tends to blush when he sees her in cute clothing or when she says soemthing cute. While his feelings become that of romance, it makes him vulnerable for his fan club to tease him. When they realize they both love Mikan, Ruka and Natsume have a sort of rivalry over Mikan and both say they don't want to lose to each other. He even asked her if she would like to switch Alice stones with him during the Z arc, even though she didn't understand the meaning of the switch then (the switchers would be soulmates). However, while they look into Yuka's past, he discovers that Mikan and Natsume's mothers had been best friends and Nodacchi commented how of a miracle it was for Mikan and Natsume to meet in the academy. This makes Ruka realize that Mikan and Natsume were meant to be together. Telepathically, he allows Natsume to be with Mikan because Natsume needs Mikan and she needs him. He admitts to Mikan that he loves her but he tells her that Natsume is the only one for her and he will support them because he loves them both very much. Natsume returns this later on by trusting Ruka enough to protect Mikan in case he dies in the near future.

Personality


Ruka is a little nicer and can be considered more bearable than his best friend Natsume. While Natsume is cold and distant, Ruka is warm and pleasant to people. Like Natsume, his classmates see him as serious and cool, but Ruka really isn't that type. He is an animal lover, which corresponds with his Alice. Ruka has been shown to be embarrassed by his Alice and Hotaru noted early on in the series that people never saw his Alice, but were aware of what his Alice was. When he meant Natsume he was embrassed of his Alice, but was told by Natsume that his Alice was a gentle type that could help people. He often falls victim to Hotaru's blackmail when she takes pictures of him in embarrassing situations and selling them to his fan club for money. For that reason, he disliked Hotaru, even though he seems to befriend her as they try to save Mikan from the Elementary Principle.
He is a very loyal friend, especially to Natsume, and later Mikan. Ruka knows of Natsume's sacrifices and feels helpless that he can not help his friend. Such that, Ruka feels that he is a burden to Natsume because the school gave him his star rank based on making Natsume do dangerous missions and that the school threatens to harm Ruka if Natsume disobeys. Ruka even claims that when Natsume is in pain, he is in pain. When Mikan, back in the Northern Woods Arc, made a comment on Natsume's scary personality, Ruka was noticably angry at her words, because of how much of Natsume goes through. His loyalty is most admirable in the Hana Hime arc, where Ruka used mice to fight with, even though he hates using them for such things. But having his friends in danger had him make an exception. In addition to watching Natsume suffer, he is saddened to watch Mikan make unbearable sacrifices to protect her friends and suffer the consequences.
