Chapter 12: Damn Narumi!
Emi's POV
"...Would you go to the dance with me?" I looked at him in surprise. I hadn't expected him to ask me straight out. Hell, I hadn't expected him to ask me, period. "It's alright if you don't want to, I mean, I don't mean to force you into it for fear of being impolite or something, I was just - " I cut him off. "Taiki," I said. "Shut up." And then I grabbed a handful of his shirt, pulled him down and kissed him.
Taiki's POV
Oh.
My.
God.
She's - She's kissing me.
Wait. What the hell am I thinking? I'm supposed to kiss her back, damn it!
Narumi's POV
Oh.
OH.
Oh dear. This probably isn't a good time. Maybe I'll just sneak out...?
What's wrong, you say? Well, you see, I was looking for Emi-chan, and Mikan-chan told me that she was probably still in the auditorium. So, I took the logical course: I went to the auditorium. And when I got there, I found Emi-chan and Taiki-kun engaged in what looked like a passionate kiss. Disgusted as I am to see two of my students making out, I still don't want to intrude.
Which brings me to my current predicament. Perhaps I shall scare them a bit. Yes, I think that will be best. If Jin-Jin finds them...Oh boy.
Emi's POV
I only have one word to say.
Crap.
See, after that first kiss, we finally pulled apart for a breath of air, and Taiki, being Taiki, said, "So I take that as a yes?" I'd rolled my eyes, replying, "You goof." To which he responded with a smile and another long kiss, this time way more passionate than that first one. The first was hesitant, an uncertain kiss, both of us unsure of the other's feelings. Oh crap, I'm waxing poetic again. Curse my writing talent. Anyhow, we were kissing, and had no intention of stopping, when Narumi-sensei pops out of nowhere and clears his throat!
Obviously, that had Taiki and myself disentangling ourselves from around each other and blushing like cherries. Our Alices acted up because of our extreme embarrassment, and suddenly the walls were coated with a thick coat of ice and there were little pink and purple flowers blooming in the cracks. "Oops..." We chorused in a low voice.
Narumi-sensei, who had previously been looking very stern indeed, suddenly started to shake. I backed away, half thinking that he was going to explode, and he exploded all right.
Into giggles.
As he laughed and laughed and laughed, I exchanged bewildered glances with Taiki. We used the time to repair our slight - ahem - mishap and the auditorium was soon back to normal...other than the small bits of ice on the floor...and a few -cough-dozen-cough- wilted flowers. But the ice ought to melt by tomorrow, and we'd go to the auditorium early to clean it up.
Finally, Narumi-sensei's giggles died down. We both raised an eyebrow at him questioningly. "Okay, sorry. It's just that you guys were so scared and then your Alices acted up and you went 'oops' at the same time..." He wiped a tear from his eye.
"Okay, seriously, you two should get out of here. If Jin-Jin finds you making out - " We blushed in unison, glancing at one another. "- He might punish you severely. I'm just going to tell you; If you want to do that sort of thing, please, just do it in the privacy of your own rooms. Should the make out session progress to...ahem...something else," Here we blushed even deeper. "You wouldn't disturb anyone, for we have soundproofed Special Star rooms. Only Special Stars get perfect privacy."
He grinned widely. "Anyway, I was looking for you, Emi-chan, but I suppose it can wait 'till tomorrow." He pranced out of the room, saying, "Ja!"
Now I understand why Hyuuga-san HATES Narumi-sensei.
Taiki's POV
No wonder Hyuuga hates Narumi. Crazy dude. He barges in on us kissing, pretends to be angry, bursts out into giggles, then makes us blush like mad and prances away.
Yes. He pranced away.
He is one mad teacher.
Anyhow, after a moment spent blinking after him in disbelief, I grinned and turned to Emi. "So does this mean we're going out?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "You haven't asked me out yet, idiot," She said, playfully punching my arm. I feigned hurt, and she giggled. The sound was heaven to my ears; I hadn't heard her laugh in years. "Alright then, how would you like to go to Central Town with me on Friday? That day's events will be yours to choose." She laughed softly. "How can I argue with that offer?" I bent down to kiss her again. "Why would you want to?" I murmured, right before I closed the gap between our lips.
End POV
The next day, during rehearsal, the two were in high spirits, befuddling their classmates, with the exception of Hotaru and Koko. Koko had heard their thoughts, then began to twitch and gag. "You guys...please...tone down the sappiness. I know you're happy, but...-gag-...suffocating me isn't going to do anything..." He began to choke. "You just wait 'till you get a girlfriend," Taiki said, smirking at him. "Yeah, I hear that -thinks-Anna-chan-thinks- likes you, and if I'm right, you like her too," Emi commented, noting the way his cheeks flamed red almost immediately. She then glanced at Anna, who was looking somewhat jealous. Koko suddenly turned to her sharply, having heard a thought of hers. It was her turn to blush crimson and look away. "Anna-chan, could I talk to you outside for a moment?" He turned to Emi. "Make sure no one spies on us." She grinned -much to the joy of her fan boys, causing them to drool and Taiki to glare at them- and nodded.
As Koko closed the door behind him, he could hear Taiki saying, "Hey dudes, stop staring at my girlfriend!" After which a loud, "GIRLFRIEND???" was heard. Smiling fondly and shaking his head, he turned his attention to Anna, who was still blushing deeply. "Anna-chan, do you already have a date for the Alice Festival's Last Dance?" She blinked, not expecting the question, then shook her head. "N-No," He broke out into a grin. "Then may I have the honor?" She blinked several times, then grinned as well and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, shocking him thoroughly. "Thought you'd never ask!"
---------------
Anna and Koko had just re-entered the auditorium. What they saw was total chaos. There was a ball of ice in the middle of the room, which a whole lot of fan girls and fan boys were attacking. Vines suddenly ran over the ball, and whenever anyone came near it, a vine would shoot out and grab the person. Unfortunately for the fans, Mikan was nullifying the entire room, there was nothing to throw, and they're rather stupid. Therefore, eventually, all of them were caught, and the ball of ice seemed to become a smaller ball in front of Emi and Taiki. Cocking her head, Emi made three ice crystals, just big enough to be worn on a string as a necklace. Before anyone could see, however, she quickly stuck the crystals into her pocket.
"Enough messing around! Let's get to work!" Emi called out. "Unless you want to fail and make a total fool of yourself," A collective groan was heard around the room. "I think I liked it better when she was in the ice ball," Ruka muttered to Natsume. He nodded in agreement.
I couldn't help it. All the pairings are coming together these few chapters. Next chapter will be either Ruka and Hotaru, Tsubasa and Misaki or a pair that someone requests.
Reviews highly appreciated.
