Chapter 2: Noin Claude VS Nagisa Kaworu
Whispers are heard.
"He's here."
"Oh no, is he gonna do anything?"
"Don't worry, if you don't bully others, he won't get you."
"Yeah, remember? He hates all those who bully others who are weaker than themselves."
"He doesn't hit girls either. He doesn't like that."
"Wow...sure is like a wealthy, prim and proper guy."
"What are you saying? You mean you don't even know he's rich!"
"Really? Cool!"
"Shh...he's coming over."
Noin walks towards Kaworu, and stares at him expressionlessly. He seems to be waiting for Kaworu to say something. Kaworu looks at him, puzzled at what's going on. [Noin...Claude? This guy...he's famous for beating up those who gang up on the weaker students. What's his problem now...? I remember...I'm always arguing and fighting with him...But today...not today...]
Youzen looks irritatedly at Noin. Protectively, he says to him, "What do you want again?! Please stop coming over to the first-year students' building to cause trouble!"
Noin: What the hell are you talking about...
Youzen: Don't pretend you don't know! You're always arguing with Kaworu! He's not well today. Please leave.
Fuuko: That's right, though I'd love to see you two fight! *laughs*
Yanagi: Fuuko...
Noin: I'm not talking to any of you. I want to speak with Nagisa. Outside. Now. Alone.
Kaworu: ....
Youzen: Kaworu...? *to Noin* I don't think he wants to speak with you, though. Don't you have classes to attend now?
Noin: That's not the point. Nagisa.
Kaworu: I...okay.
Yanagi: Kaworu? (What's wrong with him today?)
Kaworu follows Noin outside. Fuuko is startled as she sees a mysterious smile form on Kaworu's face as he heads out of the classroom.
Along the corridor, Noin hands a book to Kaworu.
Kaworu: [What is this...?]
Noin: Someone from class 1D asked me to give this to you. You left it at the library yesterday.
Kaworu: Yesterday?
Noin: Yeah, like I care. *looks away* Listen, I'm just returning something to you. It doesn't mean anything.
Kaworu: What do you mean...?
Noin: Nothing! What's wrong with you anyway?
Kaworu: I don't know...[I'm not Nagisa Kaworu. I'm...] I've been feeling funny, that's all. [...Tabris, the 17th Angel...]
Noin: *laughs sarcastically* Oh really? I doubt that.
Kaworu: ..what?
Noin: You heard me, I said I doubt that. You're just running away.
Kaworu: *sudden change in tone* Aren't you the same?
Noin: What?!
Kaworu: You're also -running away-.
Noin: And what may I be running away from?
Kaworu: Your self.
Noin: Myself? What the hell are you talking about? Please quit your useless talk.
Kaworu: It's true.
Noin: Oh yeah right. And your prove would be...?
Kaworu: You asking me out here. You don't want to let others know the real you. Am I right?
Noin: Huh? What crap are you talking?! The real me is about to kick you now!
Kaworu: Oh really. The real Noin Claude would never do such a thing. You're trying to vent your anger on someone, that's all.
Noin: And so unlucky that it's gonna be you that I shall vent my anger on. Huh!
Kaworu: *closes eyes* You should calm down, and stop thinking about pleasing -her-.
Noin: (Why...) Her? Who...who're you talking about? (Why does he know...)
Kaworu: You know very well that you don't want me to say it out...*looks right through Noin*..isn't it...?
Noin: Shut up. Just shut up.
Kaworu: Sure, ja ne.
Kaworu walks silently back to the classroom, leaving a scared expression on Noin's face. Noin leans against the wall, and thinks to himself, (Why...why does he know everything...how can he...?) He regains his composure, and leaves the first year students' classroom block.
