Thanks for the reviews!! The 2nd chapter starts with ... a flashback of Kaoru and Shiki!! =D
Songs for this chapter are "Perfect match"(A*teens) and "Dirty little secret"(The All-Americans Rejects)
A sunny day, a cup of tea, a magazine and tons of handsome guys to watch - in the eyes of Kaoru Igarashi was that the perfect afternoon.
One week ago she got the message that Shiki graduated from school. It was a good message because she missed her friends and now she's finally able to meet one of them again.
But now she's waiting for her date, the famous Hyuuga-kun. He was already ten minutes too late...
"Kaoru-san!" she heard a voice saying.
The woman bounced and the cup of tea she was holding in her hand poured all over the young man standing beside the table in the cafe.
"Shiki-san! Oh my god, Shiki-san! Why are you here?! The tea is all over you! Shiki-saaaaan!"
The blonde closed his eyes, clearly annoyed.
Nervously Kaoru looked for a tissue in her handbag. When she didn't find one she got herself out of her pullover and used it as one.
Now Shiki blushed because he was not used to see her like this. Normally she was strict with him and annoyed him or Yuka - or even both. But her being like that, so... girlish.
Something weird happened to her. he thought. Then the tought that she might have found a boyfriend that softened her up crossed his mind and he felt happy for on the one side but kinda sad on the other...
Not showing any of his feelings he grinned amused.
"So the former madonna of the Alice Gakuen has found a boyfriend she reeeeeeaaaally likes." he said testing her reaction.
Kaoru jerked and Shiki knew he was right.
"Y-yes... But that's none of your business. And now excuse me. He's coming." she said bashfully, got the letters the young man gave her and ran straight to a guy being on the way to the cafe.
After they shared a few kisses the two lovebirds came back.
So Kaoru wants to introduce me he thought.
"Hyuuga-kun. This is Shiki Masachika, my best friend. Shiki, this is Hyuuga-kun my boyfriend." Kaoru said, clinging to the man.
"Nice to meet you, Hyuuga-san." the blonde said with a fake smile. He didn't like him but he tried to hide it since it was his best friends boyfriend.
"Kaoru-chan told me much about you, Masachika-san. You two must be very good friends."
Shiki knew that that Hyuuga just wanted to be friendly but there were so much things about him that annoyed the young man: He called her Kaoru-chan and the way he looked at her...
Close your eyes, Shiki. Breath calm and don't try to kill her boyfriend in your thoughts! his inner voice whose existance he didn't even know 'till now said.
He felt Kaoru giving him a hug and when he opened his eyes he saw the couple walking away chatting about nonesense he didn't wanna hear.
But why was he angry? Was he really angry? He wasn't sure. How's this feeling called?
You're jealous his inner voice said. Remember: You were acting like Anjo-san whenever he saw Yuka and Izumi-sensei together as a couple. You're in l-o-v-e, but not with Yuka like you always thought you love her best friend.
"Shut up! SHUT UP! Shut up, you damn inner voice!!! I'm not in love with her!!" he screamed. When realizing that the whole cafe including Kaoru and Hyuuga who were standing at the door about to leave was listening he blushed extremly.
"Excuse me, please" he said running past his best friend/senpai/crush.
Kaoru giggled lightly because she used her Alice to look into Shiki's feelings after noticing that Shiki didn't like her date and saw his fight with his inner voice. He wondered how much of today's meeting would be standing in her next letter to Yuka and Naru.
With two cups of tea in his hand, Shiki entered the garden. After he put one on a table beside the door he went to Kaoru who was sitting on a blanket smiling amused. She probable thought of the same thing as he recently did.
When she tried grasp the cup the blonde didn't let go.
"Shiki, dear, you can let go off now. I'm not so stupid to do the same things as on that day."
"I know, love. This is what I pray for since this is my favorite shirt."
They looked at each other for some seconds and started to laugh hardly. Then Shiki got a watch on the clock and let go off.
"It's already four o'clock. I promised Yuka to drive Mikan to her sports club. See you later!" he said and tried to escape as fast as he could. That woman drove him crazy.
When passing the front door, he saw Natsume.
"Good Afternoon, Natsume." he said but the only reponse he got was "Late for polka dots, huh?"
Natsume knew about his feelings, from the first day on...
Yuka was standing in the kitchen when Shiki arrived. Even before he could rang the bell she stood in the doorway giving him a hug which he retourned not paying attention, though.
So Kaoru did it again she thought grinning.
"I, uh, came to pick up Mikan. Is she ready for leaving?" he said nervously.
"I'll call her, Shi-hi-ki." Her smile grew when she turned around calling out "MIKAN! Shiki's here to drive you to your sports club!"
A few seconds later they heard a door shut and a girl appeared at the top of the stairs. She, too, saw the look on Shiki's face and after she saw the grin of her mother she put her arms around the man.
"Hi, Uncle Shiki! Kiss! Kiss! Aunty Kaoru surely drives you crazy, doesn't she?" e stiffened blushed.
Mikan said good bye to her mother and grabbed Shiki's arm to get him out of the door. Before it closed she gave Yuka an apologetic smile.
"Dad wants to see you, mommy. When remembering right he wants something to eat. Hehehe!" Then they were gone.
The woman rolled with her eyes and went back to the kitchen to get some food out of the fridge.
Two days ago when she went out of the bathroom with just a towel on he got so nervous that he fell down the stairs and broke his left leg and both of his arms what made her an all around the clock maid since he couldn't do anything without her help.
God, that man is such a spoiled kid she thought remembering all the things she had to in the last days.
Opening the door she went inside finding Naru lying on the big bed listening to the music. With his eyes on her she put the food beside the bed and sat herself on the rocking chair. Listening to the music, too, she recognized the song as Thnks fr th Mmrs.
"Get me outta my mind
Gets you out of those clothes
I learned my way of getting you into the mood." he repeated the text of the song. " Very fitting, isn't it? It reminds me of all the nights with just you and me in this room..."
"You forgot your damn Alice!" she said angrily.
Naru laughed trying to turn to her but he ended up clinging to Yuka who stood up to help him.
Having a idea how she could feed him he pulled her to him to get her on the bed. She struggled for a while but soon Naru won the fight and Yuka landed on the bed still caught in his hug.
"Seeeeenpai?" he asked with big eyes. "Feed me, please."
"Surely - when you let go off." she reponsed.
"No, like you are now - lying beside me." he said begging.
"No!"
"Senpai..."
"Never!"
"Yuuuukkkkaaaa, my only love, please!" he said coming closer. Most times he just called her senpai but there were times when he called her Yuka, too. Times when he really wanted something.
Embarrassed she gave in and got the chocolate in her hand. Patient he let her feed him and after she was ready and tried to stand up he pulled her closer and kissed her but the kiss ended soon because his arms started to hurt and he had to let go off.
Yuka reached out and touched his face which made him blushing and her smiling.
"Is the spoiled kid satisfied now?" she asked.
"I'll never be with just a kiss, you know." Then he remembered something. "Yesterday, I heared Mikan saying "Kiss! Kiss!". Did you tell her about that year?"
"Not much yet. Just the "Kiss! Kiss!" thing and the part about me asking you to be my teacher."
In a classroom, a few days before their depature to France
Naru searched Yuka and found her sitting on the table looking out of the window. She smiled not noticing him behind her.
"Yuka-senpai. You're dating Izumi-sensei now? How is it going? Did you kiss him?"
Yuka jerked and turned around with a red face.
"Naru! I have a problem!" she said.
"What? You're pregnant?" he joked.
"No, I'm not, baka. We didn't even kiss. And that's my problem."
Naru rosed an eyebrow. "You have problems kissing him?"
"Yes." she admitted. "Always when he tries to kiss me, I panic and ruin the moment!"
"Yeah. Ok!"
"So, could you please teach me how to kiss?"
"W-What the hell did ya say?"
"Narumi-sensei! My favorite Kissing-sensei. Teach me how to kiss right!!"
"Why should I?"
"You seem to be very experianced at kissing and how to react when someone tries to kiss you."
"I am thanks to my elder sisters but that doesn't mean I'll teach you."
"Please! Please! Please!"
"You'll promise me you don't tell anyone about this and that you take this serious and not as a joke."
"Of course, Naru-sensei!"
"Alright! And Senpai?"
"Yes, sensei?"
"Stop calling me sensei, damn it!"
"Ok, Naru!"
"Better." he said. "Are you fine if our first lesson is today evening in your room. Tell others your helping me with my homework."
"Thank you, Naaaaaru." Yuka said, giving him a hug. Then she left him alone.
"Crap. What did I do?" he asked himself. But it was a promise. To teach his unrequited love how to kiss. It couldn't get that bad, can it?
"I still can't believe why I asked you this..." Yuka said.
Naru laughed remembering all the lessons. Then he gave her a hug and closed his eyes.
