Hi everybody!

I did this chapter, as well as for the plot, to show a deeper side of Narumi, not just the silly and idiotic one.

Sorry for the mini chapter again, but this is all I have time for now. Thanks for all the reviewers about my... unfortunate situation with my parents and fanfiction. You're all very nice people, thanks, and some great tips on how to convince them. But for now, I will keep on going as I have been, and the chapters will keep on coming...

Some more reviews would be nice... and don't forget that the 100th reviewer gets a dedicated chapter!

The Meepsta :) :)

Chapter 34- Who am I now?

Normal POV

The boy invited himself to sit down, as the teacher was still massaging his nose in the corridor. It was a sight not too rare, as swing doors often rebounded on the unfortunate person standing behind, in this case being Narumi-senseii.

A common trick, especially used by the Elementary Students, was to appear polite, by holding the door for an unsuspecting adult. Then they would let go just as the adult reaches it. But, of course, it wasn't deliberate...

"Ah sorry... did I hit you?"

"Yes, you did once again, Hyuunga. You don't have much control over your hand-grip, do you?"

"Talk to Persona about that if you want." Natsume shot back, and Narumi paled, thinking about talking to the DA ability class teacher.

"Erm... maybe not then. What was it that you wanted to talk about?"

"Sakura."

"What about Sakura..."

"Well, I suppose, not much." Narumi looked confused at his statement. "What I mean, is that she's not doing much, and nobody's doing much about it."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

OK, so Mikan Sakura, the cheerful, bubbly girl of the class is not talking to anyone, acting coldly, like me on a very bad day, and studying. Studying? Have you ever seen her study before? And she keeps getting mysterious messages and notes in the register. Tell me, what are they, and why is she acting so strangely?""

Narumi POV

"Sakura." Oh God... save me.

"What about Sakura?" I fake innocence, trying to use some of my Pheromone Alice in my voice.

"Well, I suppose, not much." He replied, giving me a bad feeling about what he was going to say next, as he was obviously planning something. "What I mean, is that she's not doing much, and nobody's doing much about it. "

True... true... but what to do?

That rhymed!

"I don't know what you're talking about." I denied again. This was what the other staff would say, and so should I.

"OK, so Mikan Sakura, the cheerful, bubbly girl of the class is not talking to anyone, acting coldly, like me on a very bad day, and studying. Studying? Have you ever seen her study before? And she keeps getting mysterious messages and notes in the register. Tell me, what are they, and why is she acting so strangely?"

I swear that was the longest speech I've ever heard him deliver... what a record! He's obviously concerned though, so why shouldn't I tell him? It's just because I swore not to, on the future of my job and post.

I can't.

I can't endanger worsening my relationship with the Principles even further just because of this.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you anything, Hyuunga."

And I twisted my earring, and Natsume's eyes widened.

"You wouldn't dare... you don't need to do this. All I want is an answer, one answer. I trusted you. I trusted you!"

And my Alice activated, sending him into a deep sleep.

"I trusted you..."

I suppose now I'm just like the others... ruthless, hard-hearted machines. My promise to Yuka has been broken. I said I would look after the children at the Academy, and now what have I done? Someone who was worried for her child ... cares for her child... I inflicted my Alice on him, for what reason? Nothing. Why did I even do it?

Who am I now?
