Chapter Four:

Schuldich smirked as he saw Usagi fall to the floor. Without waiting to see if she was getting up or not he wandered over to her and helped her. Of course his definition of helping including holding her to him for longer then was required. "As I said I'm a hands on teacher. First I'll demonstrate something with Liang-san here," He announced a triumphant smirk on his lips as he dragged Usagi to the front of the class.

Another pencil broke in Omi's grasp. 'He better not hurt Yue'

Schuldich paused to flash a smile Omi's way. 'Don't worry kitty catI wouldn't dream of hurting those that offer me so much entertainment.'

Omi simply glared in response. 'Yue'

An idea came to him and he grinned. He knew it could cause a bit of trouble but he wasn't one to play to the rules. Besides he could just alter the mind of anyone who really objected. "Instead of giving you the boring speechesWe're going to have a live presentation." All of the students stared at him in shocked speechlessness. "Today we'll be focusing on the proper kiss."

"Kiss?" Omi asked startled.

"Demo" started one of the girls with a flush on her cheeks. "Yue-kun is a guy"

Schuldich smiled. "And I'll be demonstrating the perfect kiss with 'him'."

Omi's eyes widened in horror. 'STOP!' His only response was his head ringing with laughter as Schuldich merely smirked.

The class stared wide-eyed and in disbelief as Schuldich took the unresisting but solemn Yue into his arms and kissed him. "Can't he get in trouble for that?" Asked a guy in shock and disgust.

Schuldich easily manipulated the minds that thought the same things and smiled. 'Put some more effort into it, Yue-chan. We have to give them a great show, ne?'

Usagi glared at him but reluctantly obeyed. She really didn't have a choice and if she failed in Health class then Nagi would want to help. A blush spread across her cheeks as she thought of the implications and she didn't notice Schuldich's eyes narrow. 'Wonder what it would be like to kiss Nagi'

'Usako.'

The name jerked her back to what was happening and she glared at him her eyes narrowed in outrage. 'Sick, sadistic-' she started to mentally rant but was stopped as Schuldich pulled away.

"And that class, is how to properly kiss someone."

Usagi glared at him but didn't say anything. Without waiting for permission she dropped into her desk and stared emotionlessly at the clock, willing it to hurry so she could escape. 'Stay away from me.' She growled at him.

He smirked more as he explained to the class all the different ways of kissing and pointing out that this week they'd be learning about the kind of kiss he and Yue just shared. 'You wouldn't want me to tell everyone here and back at the mansion who you really are would you?'

Scowling in defeat she reluctantly listened to his teachings. 'Fine Just don't tell anyone.'

'Agreed.' He smiled easily. "And to make sure you remember what I've taught you today every day this week Yue will help me demonstrate this particular kiss to you all. Next week we'll start on my favorite kiss"

Omi glared at Schuldich and wished again for a pocket of darts. Schuldich was beyond cruel. He decided he'd try to get one of the other guys to help him later. The problem was which one? Aya would say no Yohji would decline because the girls were too young so that left him with Ken.

'Jealous, kitty cat?'

Omi's face flamed. The truth was that he was jealous and he hated Schuldich even more for it. 'You'll pay for doing that to him, Schuldich.'

A laugh echoed in Omi's mind. 'You really think so? Well the truth is Yue-chan enjoyed it as much as I did.'

Omi's mind shut down at that point. For Schuldich to use such a name with Yue and say such things The young assassin couldn't handle it. He simply sat in his chair his mind blissfully blank as the lesson finally ended. The only thing that stopped him from sitting there for the entire day was a hand on his arm. His eyes slowly looked up and he saw a concerned Yue.

"Daijoubu?" Usagi asked in concern. Omi was just staring at the blackboard not paying attention to anything! Including the fact that the rest of the class had left except of course for the smirking Schuldich.

Schuldich laughed and grabbed Usagi's shoulder. "Would you like me to walk you to your next class, Yue-chan?"

She pulled herself out of his grip and shook Omi some more. "Omi-kun"

Omi smiled reassuringly at her and got to his feet. "Go on without me I'd like to talk to our teacher for a moment."

Schuldich smirked. "Have a problem, kitten?"

Usagi's eyes widened slightly at the term. Did Schuldich know Omi? "We have to go to our next class now," She interrupted Schuldich with a weary gaze as she tugged at Omi. "O-negai, come with me?"

Omi slowly shook his head. "Iie Gomen nasai demo I do have to speak with him I'll see you in the next class, Yue-kun." He gave a small smile.

Usagi sighed. She really didn't have a choice now. Glancing back at Omi one last time in concern she left the classroom. She was almost immediately surrounded by a flock of girls. "Anno hi?" She weakly uttered.

"Yue-kun" One commented with a grin. "Will you help me achieve the perfect kiss?"

Usagi's face turned a bright red and she backed up against the lockers. "Anno. Shouldn't you ask someone that's good at it?"

Another girl laughed her eyes dancing, "Demo you're great at it Yue-kun! Come on Just one?"

Usagi turned even more red and flushing tried to ease her way out of the circle of girls. Finally a more bold one grabbed her shirt and pushed her back against the lockers so now it was impossible to get away. "We won't leave until you give at least one of us a kiss," she commented with a smile.

Usagi turned even redder and tried to push them away. "You don't understand," She tried to explain. She yelped as one tried to kiss her and she dodged so the girl's lips met with that of a cold locker. There was only one thing she could do now and she was reluctant to do so. 'Schuldich, HELP!' she mentally screamed and hoped he could hear her.

**

Schuldich looked up from his talk with the furious Omi. The boy was livid with him for 'toying' with other students and constantly demanding why he was here. Frankly Omi was boring him. He pushed the complaining youngster to the side and casually strolled into the hall where he saw Usagi wide-eyed with fright and trying to break away from a circle of girls. "Problems, Ladies?" He asked with a smile.

The girls pouted but broke up. Usagi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled nervously at Schuldich who was advancing on her, "Arigato"

He smirked. "No one is allowed to kiss you" he paused. "But me," In so saying he pinned her to the locker and gently kissed her. "Now get going or you'll be late to class."

Usagi hid her face and thoughts from him and scurried away. Omi stared after his friend in shock. 'Why did he just let Schuldich do that to him?'

Schuldich turned and smiled. "You should get to class as well, kitty cat."

Omi frowned deeply but obeyed. "Stay away from Yue-kun," He hissed as he passed the amused German.

Usagi knew that Omi was behind her and she waited for him. She glanced at him and noticed a silent mask of fury on his face. "Daijoubu?"

Omi turned to her in shock. "You're asking about me?" He whispered puzzled. "I should be asking you that Gomen nasai that I wasn't there to keep those girls away. I should have known that after a class like that they'd be after you in full force."

Usagi flushed and her head bowed slightly as they walked. "It's okay"

Omi shook his head. "He had to save you So it's not okay," he growled.

Usagi giggled for a moment. "You sound kind of jealous, Omi-kun."

Omi flushed and looked away. "I'm not jealous," He protested though the heat from his cheeks was gradually taking over his whole face. "I just don't think it's right how he's treating you like that."

Usagi looked away and fell silent for the rest of the day. Why was Schuldich here anyway? How did he become a teacher? He didn't exactly fit the credentials. With a soft sigh she pushed the worries out of her mind and continued her day relying heavily on the aspirin Crawford had given her.

**

Usagi had finally made it to lunch and since she had teased Omi about being jealous neither had spoken to the other. She was alone at her table thoughtlessly poking at her carrot. She hated carrots.

"Is this seat taken?" asked a voice.

Usagi glanced up to tell whoever it was to go away when she froze. "Nagi-kun," she whispered startled.

He smiled at her. "I thought I'd join you for lunch... Or are you wanting to eat alone?"

She shook her head. "Iie"

He frowned. "Crawford told me about Schuldich becoming one of your teachers Are you okay?"

Usagi flushed and nodded, "Hai"

"Yue-kun!" Gushed a girl pushing Nagi to the side and hugged a startled Usagi. "Eat lunch with me!"

"No! He's eating lunch with me!" roared another girl with a scowl.

"No," Interrupted someone else. The other girls winced and backed away. They wouldn't dare fight with the most popular girl at school. She sat besides a wide-eyed Usagi and smiled. "He's eating with me."

**

Omi sighed. Normally he'd be over there making the vultures leave his friend alone. But Omi had a problem. A problem that was clinging to his arm and refusing to let go until he promised to eat lunch with her. Omi had an Ouka problem.

"O-negai, Omi-kun?" she demanded more then pleaded.

Omi sighed. "Hai"

Ouka's eyes twinkled for a moment in triumph but Omi missed the look. She had succeeded in keeping the strange boy away from her Omi for at least one lunch.

**

Nagi would have gotten up to help his friend but another swarm of the females had found him and were all vying for his attention. He ignored the offers and begs of him to join them for lunch and purposely wandered to where a flushed Yue was trying to dodge the advances of the girl. Behind him his newly began fan club in their attempt to follow him suddenly started tripping all over their selves every time they tried to reach him.

Usagi turned beet red as the girl beside her finally managed to do what all the others had wished. She had managed to kiss the cutest boy in school. Usagi yelped and in her haste to back up fell over and glanced up at a less than pleased football player. "What are you doing with my girl?"

Usagi paled and backed up a bit more. She would have called for Schuldich but she knew his price. She watched the girl that had managed the feat laugh in delight and scurry off to tell her to tale to all that would listen. She left Usagi to fend for herself against her muscle-bound boyfriend.

"Leave him alone," Demanded a soft voice behind the jock.

Usagi brightened, "Nagi-kun!"

He flashed a smile at her and glared steadily at the one that was almost twist his size. "Leave him alone."

The brainless one merely laughed and attempted to punch Nagi when he was suddenly thrown into the air and into a tree hard. Everyone around the lunch stopped what they were doing and stared. "Nagi," Usagi whispered startled.

He noticed the football team advancing on him and they started to run into and over each other starting a fight. "Leave Yue-kun alone," He demanded again. He turned to the shaking and startled Usagi that was looking at what Nagi did in shock. "Shall we finish lunch?" he asked softly.

She nodded and sat down with him. "How?...."

"We'll have a talk tonight," Interrupted an amused voice. Schuldich sat down with them and smiled. "Jealous of that girl, chibi?" he teased Nagi.

Nagi glared at the telepath but didn't comment. Instead he glanced up as he noticed Omi heading their way a masked look on his face. "You know him, Yue-kun?" he asked in what he hoped was a conversational manner. Yes he did want to keep an eye on Weiss but he didn't like the look Omi was giving his friend.

Omi cautiously eyed the two, "Daijoubu, Yue-kun?"

She nodded, "Hai Do you want to join us, Omi-kun?"

Startled the other two members of her table stared at her. Neither had actually expected her to invite Omi to eat with them. Both wondered if the boy would accept. "Yes, do you want to join us?" Schuldich asked a faint smirk on his lips.

Omi's eyes narrowed at his two enemies and nodded while taking a place beside Usagi. Nagi sat on her other side and glared briefly at the young Weiss assassin. Schuldich frowned faintly for a moment but didn't comment out loud or mentally. Both apparently thought he wouldn't do it.

"Omi-kun! You promised to eat with me for lunch!" Ouka paused. Normally she would have elbowed a place between the blonde boy and Omi but the tension at the table made her stop.

Everyone at the table including Omi ignored Ouka. Suddenly she had the strangest feeling she wanted to eat by herself and she seemed to be automatically moving towards that goal forgetting all about the table. Usagi watched her go faintly puzzled. 'What did you do?' She demanded of Schuldich.

'Why did you invite him?' It wasn't his usual amused mental reply. He actually sounded angry at her.

Usagi frowned. 'What do you mean? He's my friend'

'And our enemy,' Schuldich replied.

Her eyes widened startled. "Omi-kun?"

"Hai?" He asked stopping his glaring match with Nagi.

"Did I interrupt your lunch with your girlfriend?" she asked in concern.

Omi started to choke on a the bite of sandwich he had taken. He held up a hand for the concerned Usagi to leave him alone as he coughed and finally got it down. "Ouka is not my girlfriend," he corrected.

Usagi now stared at him puzzled. "Demo she said she was and you didn't correct her"

Omi flushed and glanced down and away from his two foes. "I didn't want to hurt her," he admitted.

Usagi suppressed the urge to hug him for being such a sweetheart. 'There I go again... I have a fiancée I shouldn't stay here'

'Then why do you? Admit it You weren't happy.'

Usagi scowled. 'You have no right to say that,' she growled. She noticed both of her companions glaring at Schuldich and glanced at them confused.

'They know you're upset with me by the way you have that can in your hand eager to throw it.' His voice calmly informed her. 'Put it down.' Reluctantly she did so and forced a smile. Her companions seemed to notice it and went back to glaring at each other.

'Jealous,' Schuldich observed in amusement once again. 'Jealous of each other Though I don't see why. You're mine after all and it's time they both learn that...'

'What do you mean by that?' Usagi demanded her mental tone full of scorn.

'Only this.' He replied before grabbing her chin and making sure that both boys were looking he smiled. 'Yue is mine,' he informed them both as he half pulled her over the table and deeply kissed her oblivious to the onlookers.
