"Norma Talking"

Chapter 11

Next Day

Mikan's POV:

I was walking next to Kye towards the classroom. The routine I had 4 years ago of waking up late was long gone. Of course, after my training, that was to be expected. Everyone in the hallways were either staring at me or at Kye. I mentally rolled my eyes.

I know Kye is hot, but can't they see he is holding my hand?

'Jealous aren't You?' I heard Kye telepathically say.

'It just get on my nerves. In America, the idiots over there already had gotten used to this. Now this idiots have to get used to it again!' I have to say, I did sound kind of jealous.

'Doesn't mean you aren't jealous of the way they are staring at me now, is it?' he arrogantly said. Damn cocky bastard…

'Shush it!' I gritted. I was surprise I hadn't actually yelled that out loud.

I heard Kye chuckling softly. It's funny. All the anger and embarrassment I was feeling suddenly disappeared. I always loved his laughter. It always brought a smile to my face.

I looked up to him, why did he had to be so tall? He made me feel so short! Anyways, I saw his usually unemotional face change to one of laughter.

I kept staring at his face, mesmerized at the unusual display of emotion.

'What the hell are you looking at?' I heard him ask. I just smiled at him, my cheeks already burning with embarrassment at being caught staring,

This reminded me of a memory. When I was still a happy, naïve girl 4 years ago, I remember being mesmerized by a certain someone's crimson eyes.

Why does just remembering a memory cause me so much pain?

'Why did you ask that bastard Natsume that question yesterday?' Kye asked me. All trace of laughter gone from his mental voice. I sighted.

'I don't really know. I guess I was wondering why he said all that crap to me 4 years ago. Plus, he kept staring at me with eyes that were… guilty? I'm not sure…' and that was the true. Or at least I think it is.

Kye stared quiet for a moment. His hand tighten a little bit on mine.

~'Do you still love him?'~

I stopped walking. Now it was my turn to stay quiet. Did I still loved Natsume? No, I didn't think so. I don't see him the way I used to anymore.

Before 4 years ago, my life used to rotate around Natsume. Of course, I tried to be discreet about it, by being loud and annoying around everyone, but I was always looking out for him.

Now though, that wasn't the case. Most of my life rotated around Kye. The rest of my life was dedicated to myself. No way in hell would I do the same mistake I did with Natsume. Having everything about me focus on Natsume hurt me so much more. I don't want to feel that pain again.

'No, I don't. Right now, you are the only one I love. Not anyone else, and you better know that. You do have to remember though, Natsume is part of my past, which means he is part of my memories. Please understand, he is not part of my life anymore, but he played a big part in my past.' I said quietly.

Kye stayed quiet for a while. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence. I knew Kye was thinking about what I just said. When we moved back to Japan, I knew Kye was going to have trouble coping with my past.

'As long as you don't leave me for him, I guess I could deal with it.' Kye said quietly, hope highlighting his voice. I smiled.

'Idiot, I would never leave you. I need you to be whole. Me, without you equals zero. I can't live without you.' I told him.

Kye turned to me, eyes slightly open at my revelation. His intense gaze made me blush, but I gazed right back at him, too stubborn to back down.

We kept our gazes set on each others orbs, absorbing the untold feelings of our souls. Slowly, Kye leaned down and hesitantly pecked my lips once, and them, as if the had just gained courage, swoop down and claimed my lips once more, this time keeping my lips against his.

God, this feeling was heaven on earth! I was on my tipy toes, while he was leaning towards me. I was barely aware of the people surrounding us. All I could think was about Kye.

Sadly, the kiss ended when both needed air. Well, we could use the ari alice, which could make us hold our breath for days, and keep going, but we were still in the hallway, with people staring at us.

Kye looked at me again, this time, his face was decorated with a soft beautiful smile. I couldn't help but smile back. Our little moment ended when the bell rang, making everyone in the hallway disappear.

Kye let of my hand, and replaced it on my waist. He pulled me towards our classroom, his face, emotionless, but his eyes were shining with happiness.

We entered the classroom, not caring if we were late. Jin Jin, who was in the middle of beginning class looked at us with a glare. We did the only thing we could do, ignore it.

I looked around and noticed that Permy wasn't here. I guess she was still stuck in the hospital… Oh well!

Kye and me sat in our seat, ignoring the gossip around us. Natsume was there. He looked up at me from his manga for 5 seconds, nodded at me, and went back to his manga. Jerk…

Natsume's POV:

I entered the classroom, and immediately noticed that Mikan hadn't come yet. She is the only reason I come to school…

I sat down on my seat and waited for her to come. Imai was already in her seat, tinkering with some metal pieces doing who knows what, but I could tell that be her body language, that she was waiting for Mikan too. The words Mikan said yesterday to her really affected her.

I heard the door open, and turned my heads towards the culprit. Mikan, in all her glory was standing there, with Kye who had his arm wrapped around her waist. The sight made me want to beat the crap out of Kye. Damn bastard…

They ignored Jinno when he began glaring at them, and began coming towards me. I tried to keep my eyes on my manga, but I was secretly watching her with the corner of my eyes. When she was already seated, I looked at her, and nodded my head as a greeting. Nothing else. She kept her face emotionless, and turned back to see the board.

I knew I should have at least said something to her, but I was afraid that she would lash out like she did with Hotaru yesterday. I did missed the way she would yell good morning to everyone though. It had been so long since I'd seen that, that I would give anything to hear her say something like that again. But that girl I had fallen in love with had shattered into a million pieces…

Jin Jin's class was still going on, and I was bored out of my mind. The only way to escape my thoughts, was to stare at the brunette beauty two seats away from me.

Jinno was about to introduced the class to a new formula, when Persona appeared out of nowhere and immediately tried to punch Mikan. Mikan on the other hand just caught his hand on hers. She didn't even looked up!

Everyone in the class just stared at the show in shock. No one moved, even Jinno was speechless.

"Hmm… not bad…" Persona said. "Not bad at all…"
