Chapter 11: Heartmelt

By now, she had turned the doorknob, only to figure out that

it wasn't BASE…

BUT

NARU's room!!!

Mellow eyes meet ice-cold ones. [/: smile]

"G-gomen ne, Naru." She stuttered her heart beat raising. It's the first official time I spoke to him. I think?Not work related.

They were staring at each other's eyes. She lost! She looked away, down on the warm rag of his floor, a small tint on her face. His. What am I doing here? She questioned herself. She couldn't find an answer so she thought of closing the door.

But ALAS! It wasn't working. It wasn't closing. It won't budge.

She looked for the source of the force only to find out that it was a HAND. It was leaning on the door. It was his. Yes, it was. Her normal breathing filtered secretly and a blush ran across her cheeks and nose.

"Mai."

"Ahh…" she choked on her words and gave out a nervous laugh. "Naru…" tapping Naru's shoulder jokingly.

"What's the reason of your disturbance?"

"Ano, I said sorry already." She replied pouting, her hand slipping on the knob. She let herself in, now. He closed and locked the door which made her slightly jolt and swallow hard. His arms ran across his chest folded together. He looks so h--...No bad Mai, shut up! shut up...

"Gomen ne, Naru." She said again bowing,just an excuse. Her heart beat returned to normal.

"You're not getting out of this room 'til you answer my question, Mai."emphasis on the not.

"Ano, un,"

"What's the reason of your disturbance?" he said coldly.

"NARU!!!" she made her voice hard, barely. It was a rude of him. Naru only looked at her, his cool pose unmoved. Evil!!!! Ugh. Why do I have to talk to you, anyway?! She clenched her hands into a knuckle.

============= "Mai."============= his voice was ringing in her ears over and over again. How it always sound so cool and so 'Naru'. Her mind thought of all the times he saved her and called her by her name, made her heart melt, how he argue with her and the . OPPURTUNITY. Like a LOVE quest. Er....

Her grip loosened.

"Un, I just wondered if you would like to have tea, Naru." She said calmly, beaming. "I'm making tea for the guest so I thought you might want one."

"Hn…" he replied. "Are you that irresponsible?" he finally said turning snobbishly. Ugh...that smile..It's gonna blind me...kimi no Baka... he secretly thought. What made you smile idiot?Why do you have that composure?!

She clenched her fist one more time, even harder. Her eyebrows are twitching.

Imagine this: a snobbish, immature, arrogant, and narcissist 6 years old kid is GOING TO BE eaten by a brown-haired young witch with strands of hair standing up, her arms ready to strangle him, her teeth very sharp and her eyes are glowing red and standing behind him.

Just imagine, get the picture?

"UGH! NARU, BOKU wa..." she mentioned his name one last time with a comical sticking out of her tounge, before letting out a sigh. She then dragged herself to his kitchenette, her feet stomping noisily in his room. shit...why does she have to stick out her tounge that way?..it's taunting...not my line...she should stop teasing me more often...he thought as he gave her a cool glare behind her back.

"Geez... Does it hurt to say please?!" she murmured.

Sigh…Too close…I could have broken my composure there…he thought as he made his way to his bed and got a paper. It feels good to hear her speak your name like that, ei? It feels like heat is starting somewhere, I bet…oH, and her tounge..have you wondered how she tastes like? his evil hormonal inner-self evilly chuckled…What the heck are you talking about? He coolly replied. Of course you have...you have thought of that and her soft sides...how it does that curve...hmmm...that girl...his I.S continued not really listening to Naru...Don't you deny it!!! You know very well that you love it when Mai calls you. Yes, love. His inner-self driven by hormones chuckled once more as he acknowledge his(Naru) presence.

Then, his I.S (inner-self) added… It's not even your name, Kazuya Shibuya…She even calls you Naru…he imitated how Mai says Naru…She's the first one who loves to call you Naru, right? Ooh, it's a love bug! I can tell… he teased him. Furthermore, you let her call you that, Naru, you let her keep that name of yours…

I just don't want to argue with such foolishness...Naru simply answered to his I.S' many teasing. Hmmm...just the sound of it['NARU'] makes my heart melt, well the exterior shell is almost crumbling... he thought quietly so his I.S wouldn't hear.

Ooohhh, I'd figured you would have a comeback..hmmm...let me see...what do we have here?...his I.S thought which made Naru roll his eyes....Denial, oooh...your pride is too much, but she often get your guards down...give her a break...she looks so cute by the way, oh is that always? she pouts so adorably...and....BLAH BLAH BLAH...hey! don't shut me out. his I.S noisily complained as NARU (inside his thoughts) had an earplug.

SHUT UP!!! Naru spoke coolly...but has a small tint of red on his face.

NARU...a familiar voice called out to him. Ne, Naru...a voice so sweet to the ears. She's going to drive me crazy...aHh...perverted-monk coodies...

HEY, HEY, your girlfriend is calling you.

SHUT UP!She's not...

Naru...

He went back to world's reality. As he did so, he immediately came face-to-face with his assistant.

"Ne, Naru... Dai jobu?" she asked concerningly. He got his normal composure on.

"Hn." he answered.

"Ei? AT least answer me." she said throwing a small pillow at his stomach which he caught after it softly landed to the target. SO cute...

"Yes, Mai, I'm fine but you crumpled the paper I was reading." he said.

"That's for not listening to me when I called you the umphteenth times." she snobbed him which made him burrow his brows together and give her more serious glare. Could you repeat UMPHTEENTH?

"You're tea, It got cold." she sighed. "You were so busy in your research that Ummm..."

"TEA." he glared throwing back the pillow from a while ago at her. It hit her face.

"Whmmms, fmmmt nm nynmei um t gmt cmmld" she said her face covered by the pillow. She put it down."WHAT?" he asked.

"Who's fault is it anyway that your tea got cold?" Mai protested to his request or rather command.

He crossed his arms looking at her, waiting to be obeyed, an eyebrow raised.

"FINE, you win." she made her way back to the kitchenette where she mumured words that could get her feelings off.

He continued what he was doing before his inner self interrupted. Browsing the slightly crumpled paper, he was facing sideways at the kitchenette...

THUMP...a pillow had just hit his head, causing his hair to disarray...he glared at the source who was once holding the pillow that had caused so much.

Giggles and a sticking tounge was what he got from the assaulter...He smirked. Or was it an amused smile. More likely it was his genuine smile. Mai was surprised but continued to giggle anyway while covering her mouth with a hand.

"A pillow fight,eh??? I wouldn't mind at all." he smirked again, standing up from his position and advancing to the 'enemy'.

THUMP...a pillow hit her leg. She picked it up.

"Now then, should we start?" he asked holding another pillow in his hands. Mai gasped.

"Mou, Naru...I..." she was cut off by another thump on her face. Well, it didn't hurt anyway because it was and will always be a pillow. [/;hihihihi] She turned red in anger and embarrassment.A sign to LET THE GAME BEGIN...(medieval trumpet sound)[/:wait where did that come from? well, nevermind..ON WITH IT!]....

A pillow landed on NARU's precious face, totally handsome. A glare met with mellow eyes. Then, Uff, her hair ruffled in disarray, it was the pillow again. He smiled again, his geniune smile, amused at her reaction. She was pouting again. He let out a chuckle.

I'll read her, shall I? hmmm. Now, she's depressed, let's say. light. she's sad...she'll be determined, then, a smile, idiotic lovable smile...optimistic then, over again...

He smirked at his thoughts..."Mou, Naru!" she said still pouting but the determination is growing in her.

"You know me very well..."she finished, giggling before hitting him with the pillow again... He caught the pillow with his free hand. Uff...

"Nai...Naru" she pouted, her eyes shown sadness like that of a child. He chuckled. "Mou." he let go of her pillow.

"Your unfair! You get to hit me a lot..and..and I get to hit only twice." she said depressedly. He stared at her. She was right after all, it's a bit unfair because he has long arms that would easily catch her frail form. Mai took the moment as an oppurtunity.

A pillow came in sight, too late, it had hit him, flat on the gorgeous face. She then snickered a supposed to be laugh when she saw his reaction. He was determined now. He tightened his grip on his pillow and gave a smirk before advancing to her. She started running, Dodging and Jumping from small furnitures as Naru calmly made his way to her for a strike. One hit on her legs was all it took (she was standing on his bed). She ran after him, she had hit him. They game had truly began. Running there, hitting here, sliding and falling in places. Hitting again. PILLOWS.

Thud, thud, thud.....thud...Puff...Puff...puff...Thud, pUff..sounds of running and pillow hitting everywhere and giggles/ chuckles/laughter (either way, FUN) could be heard in that room. Some are mumblings and funny tauntings and sharp comebacks... ...

They wouldn't be surprised if the others would be worried with how much ruckus they were creating (notice the thudding). They didn't care (the door was locked anyway)...All they know was that they were having fun, not usual for the workaholic Naru, but for Mai, she thought that Naru would need it. A time OUT. This is just a little time, set aside, just to take the tense and traumas away and a sort of compensation, as Naru would say, from the previous misunderstanding they had.

Naru, is truly a child (at heart) as Madoka had mentioned all the time..CHILD... she thought as she giggled. Pillow fights are so fun!!!

PUFF! FFFF!! they had both hit each other at the same time. Their little game ended with Mai's pillow badly injured. The internal of the pillow welled out, flying in the air, some tangled in Naru's hair, some flew ontop of her hair. Feathers... It was like heaven...feathers flying everywhere and dropping slowly. They stared at each other. Naru chuckled then gave her a slight hit on her shoulder as she blinked, then he slumped on the bed followed by her. It bounced slowly under their weight. She smiled, then giggled. They tried to catch their breaths.

"It was fun wasn't it?" she asked.

"Hn."

"See, you just have to loosen up on things and release all pressure or sadness....for a while." she beamed as she stood up.

"Tea, Naru?" she asked unexpectedly. He smirked but then returned to his normal composure of being a narcissist, hiding behind his mask a tint of red spreading on his face.

She disappeared to the kitchenette. He sighed, calming himself. and smiled inwardly. Wise..he thought.

"You're not the only one who knows something, Naru, I know you well, too." she poked her head behind the open wall so suddenly that Naru was surprised. But then again fastly recovered. She disappeared once again.

NARU's so complicated, but he is still a jerk...and...such a complicated jerk...hmmm...hmmm she babbled in her thoughts...Admit it you love how his cool,authoritive or rather manipulative voice makes your heart jump...her I.S joined her... Mai pouted to the comment...I know...It makes me jelly(stomach jelly) sometimes...but he's...he's...

Such a jerk? Yeah, Of course...How can he not?...her I.S finished for her...But, sigh, what do we do with him? he's just the way he is...SO NARU...what fate... Why, oh, why did you ever fall in love with him..oh, lOve...'s so complicated,..Mai trailed in her thoughts of all the times she had with him...oh, he's just so heavenly...umph...bad Mai, Bad...she thought of slapping her face...

I don't really get it...I mean why would I fall for such an arrogant, complicated, cold,proud hmmm...NARCISSIST guy?He may be cool, protective, genius, so HANDSOME, heavenly...sigh...all those reasons but none of them seems to answer my question right...I could easily tell or say what a normal teenager girl would about a dazzling creature...

.....Of course I'm not normal...I am...but the reason is more than that...I don't know why I simply love him!!!...

he might taste delicious...or so...she trailed off in her thoughts, blushing madly, knowing where her thoughts would lead her... I feel hot...she was absent-minded after all.

I think that's what you call TRUE LOVE, you don't really know the reasons, ei?...You really don't know, no matter how hard you try...

Oh, I feel so hot...

She forgot that she was pouring hot water to the tea, by then, which over flowed and wet her feet. She let out a small moan for the pain when she felt the stinging of the hot water.

The sound reached the ears of a certain someone who let out a smirk. It made him sexually [:/oops,did i just write that?teeheehee..okay to be safe Hormonal] activated as it sent thrilling messages down to his spine, to his heart and everywhere else in his body related. He felt hot somewhere particular in his body. Why must she do that? he groaned to his thoughts. He composed himself and stood up willing to know the cause of this hormonal activating sound. Damn this hormones... he bitterly thought as he made his way. If she continues..I will lose it...

She was standing on one foot because of the other injured foot. He couldn't help but grin when he saw how she stood there trying her best to find equilibrium while holding her foot easing the pain. It didn't help, it was stinging her skin. She couldn't even keep her balance for so long, she didn't even notice him. Her right hand rested on the kitchen counter and she let out a moan again trying to supress what she felt, then suddenly, she SLIPPED.

Her eyes closed, she was in for a loud thud, she knew. Time seems to be so slow as she noticed how she hasn't hit the floor yet.

Of course she hasn't, that's because someone caught her. You already know who that someone is. His long mien unbroken, standing behind her sideways supporting her frail frame, his hands touching her slender sides as he caught her.

Raging hormones surging and racing everywhere in his body. It caused him ecstatic pain from controlling them. Some stopping them. Another moan escaped from her mouth. Time frozed...


Weeeeee!!!!!!!... Finally it's done, sorry for this lame chappy...ahahah..It's kind of a special chappy...so okay...[thinking]...wonder what's going to happen next???...this is really hard to come up with...really hard...

Hmmm..I wonder what would Naru do?....tsk2x...there isn't any danger in this chappy but I think Naru's hormones are the danger here...so Ummm..anyways..there you have it...this story's going to be finished really2x soon!!!..hope you keep on supporting...^_^ hihihihi

Oh and uhMm..I am kind of planning to make this chapter an indivudual story, one-shot of course, I don't know it's kind of nice, with a little revising here and there, it would be. What do you think? Should I? make this a one-shot? hihihi.
