I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of the fountain and the birds that were singing a song, it was all so calming making me forget about school. As I was listening to the birds and fountain I didn't notice that someone else was walking towards me, that is until it was too late.
"Naomi?"
I was startled by the sudden call of my name, my hand slipped and I started to fall backwards. I waited for the inevitable wet and coldness of the water but it didn't happen, slowly opening my eyes I saw that I was lying on top of someone.
"They must have stopped me from falling"
I moved myself away from the person and sat down on the grass; with my head lowered I went to apologize for landing on them.
"Sor..."
"You should be more careful"
My head snapped up, I knew them words all too well. Before me was Mori slowly pulling himself up, once he was standing he reached out a hand for me.
"If you didn't come along I wouldn't have even fell" I stated pulling myself up
"That's great Naomi, he just helped you and you're not even acting grateful"
With a sigh I tried once again to thank him.
"Have I done something to upset you?" he bluntly asked
"What?" I asked to stunned to say much else
"No! You haven't! Of course you haven't!" my head screamed
"You seem upset with me, or is it someone else?"
"I'm not upset!" I snapped
"You should be more careful" he said walking away
"He's... he's leaving? Wait why was he even her?"
"Mori-sempai wait!"
I reached out and grabbed his sleeve; he turned to face me making me blush.
"Why were you here?" I asked quickly removing my hand
"I was looking for you"
"Why?"
"Everyone was worried about you"
"Oh... of course"
"He came because of the others... I should have known that was all"
"And because I..."
"There's no need for the others to worry, I'm fine" I said with a fake smile "I just had some school work to do that's all, well anyway lunch is probably almost over, I should get going"
I started to walk out of the maze when I thought I could hear someone close by, I stopped and looked around but didn't see anyone. With a shrug I passed it of as my imagination and continued on my way.
"He left to have a secret meeting in the garden with Naomi, there can only be one explanation!" Tamaki shouted in the club room
"It's not that" Haruhi cut in
"I haven't said anything"
"Whatever you're going to say it won't be right" she said bluntly
Tamaki gasped then went over to his famous corner to sulk.
"It's obvious what's going on" the twins said leaning on each other "Hunny-sempai was upset so Mori-sempai went to find Naomi to bring her here and make Hunny-sempai happy once more"
"Weren't you guys listening to anything they said?" Kyoya asked closing his book and adjusting his glasses "he told her he was there for us but that is obviously a lie or he would of said that when he left or taken us or at least Hunny-sempai with him"
"So what was he really doing there?" Haruhi asked
"I don't know, he was cut off before he got to say his other reason"
"I guess Kyoya-sempai doesn't know everything"
"Right everyone time for mission "find out what Mori-sempai was really doing in the garden" is now in full action!"
"Or 'Find out Mori-sempai's secret' for short" the twins chimed in
The bell rang and everyone headed off to class, Hunny walked into his classroom and saw Mori already sitting in his chair.
"Takashi did something happen with you and Nao-chan?" Hunny asked taking his place next to him
"No"
"Then why don't you two talk to each other anymore?"
"We talk"
"You haven't for ages, what happened?" Hunny asked putting on his most innocent face, the one he knew Mori couldn't resist
"I don't think she likes me" he said giving in
"Why not?" he asked rather proud of himself
"She always seems angry at me"
"Have you asked her about it?"
"She says she is fine"
"Takashi is right, Nao-chan has been acting strange around him lately, ever since we went and visited her"
After School
During class Hunny had made up his mind to go and talk to Naomi, this was the best chance he had while Mori was at kendo practice.
"Nao-chan!" Hunny called running up to her "what you doing?"
"I'm going home" she smiled friendly
"Oh" Hunny sighed with a sad face
"What's wrong?"
"Takashi has kendo practice and I'm all alone" he sighed again
"Oh well... umm... I guess I could..." Naomi stuttered
She looked down at Hunny who was pulling a sad face, she didn't want him to be alone and sad, he was like a younger brother to her, even if he was technically older.
"I guess I could stay for a bit" she sighed defeated
"YAY!" Hunny shouted jumping around
They went and sat down on the grass closest to the kendo room; from where they were sitting Naomi could just see Mori practicing.
"Maybe this wasn't a good idea"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Are you mad at Takashi?"
"No, of course not, what made you think that"
"You don't talk to him much anymore"
"I've been busy"
"You still talk to everyone else, even Kyo-chan"
"He's right, I have been avoiding him"
"I don't mean to not talk to him, I just tend to say stupid things when I'm around him"
"Like what?"
"Well like the other day, I nearly hit him with my book and I didn't even apologise, all I did was get angry at him" I sighed looking at Mori "I don't mean to, it just kind of... Happens"
Hunny looked at Naomi and followed her gaze, he hadn't noticed it before but he could see Mori practicing. Suddenly he got an idea; it all seemed clear now to what was going on, with a smile plastered on his face,
"Nao-chan, did you want to come over tomorrow?" Hunny asked looking up at her
"Tomorrow?"
"Takashi and I were going to go to his house to practice kendo and since you like kendo I thought you would like to come, we can teach you some moves to" he said with sparkles in his eyes
"Oh well that does sound great but mother... she wouldn't want me to learn kendo"
"We wouldn't really be teaching you... please say you will come"
Naomi looked down at Hunny's sad face and felt her mind being split in two, on one hand she wanted to go, she had always loved kendo but on the other hand Mori would be there.
"Hunny will be with us, it's fine, I'll just stay with Hunny"
"Ok, I'll come"
"Great! We will pick you up tomorrow at 10" he smiled jumping to his feet
"What have I gotten myself into now?"
