First off.. I'd like to say hello and please don't kill me. -Sigh- Life has been happening 24/7 and I was so close to saying goodbye to this story. But I had made a promise to myself that no matter how long it would take, I would keep going. It's flipping 2010 XD and its actually helping me write this other story that I hope will turn out amazing. Its my big gunn in the making lmao. I was so surprised to find people still adding this story to favorites and alerts.

[Um I had to fix the previous chapter a little because there was a car involved and that was impossible when Natsuki only had her Ducati..and other minor details..]

Well, lets get this show on tha road before I start crying :P

Disclaimer: I love Mai HiME and I accept that the great idea for it wasn't mine.. Until I buy rights when I'm rich as hell. xD

-You've got nothing to lose.

I've got nothing to prove.

Except a love for someone just like you-

There's Something About Her by Soul Stance

---Chapter6---Kids---

Damn kids these days, horizontal hustling wherever they pleased. I should have turned down that invitation. I should have stopped that kiss before it happened. I should never have left Akira with that boy. And I should have taken a shot of alcohol before coming here tonight.

And so.. Here I was on a school night getting that grey messenger bag back. I took a deep breath right before ringing the doorbell. The loud ping that echoed only made me even more nervous. I began thinking up ways to handle the situation. I could just go right in after the door opens and say, "Akira left her bag." Get said bag and leave like ho' shit!. But of course real life didn't work like that.

Eventually the door opened to reveal a clothed Takumi. "You're wearing a shirt dude, what a surprise." I blurted out with a smile.

He immediately coughed into his hand, his face getting red with embarrassment. "Uh..what can I do for you.. Kuga."

"It's okay for you to call me Natsuki and can I come in first?" After that he hesitantly moved to the side to let me in.

I felt very awkward just being inside but I couldn't be a coward. You're here to get a bag not to talk to Mai, I had to remind myself.

"Well, Akira left her bag around here somewhere." I said as I adjusted my bracelet, trying real hard not to feel out of place.

The Tokiha boy rubbed the base of his neck slowly. "Oh..I think its up in my r-"

"How long have you known Akira?" I crossed my arms, I needed answers for what happened earlier today.

Takumi made his way to the stairs, "Follow me."

I stayed in place for a second to think it over before I did as he said.

The stairs creaked a lot on the way up.. Like shit man, horror movie time?

But in all seriousness, I was here for a simple bag, so why on earth did I agree to dwell deeper into this house.

I heard water. Was it raining? No.. this wasn't a rainy month at all. I saw a closed door and realized it was Mai most likely taking a shower. I had a random mental image of a soapy Mai. Which I immediately discarded with a head shake and a flushed face.

Takumi had basically led me to his bedroom where that hidden deed almost took place. He shut the door quietly and rummaged through his closet for something. What type of kid hides his lover's crap in their closet? But as my eyes scanned the room I found that messenger bag I was here for right next to his bed. Cute.

"Aha, here it is." The redhead proudly stated.

"Please come sit here over here, Natsuki." He said politely as he brought over two books.

I sat my dumbass down with a sigh, I'm about to find out the deal here, I should be happy.. yeah right, Mai is like two doors down, I want to leave NOW.

The younger Tokiha opened the first book and began flipping pages until he got to the desired one , "Well..You see.. Akira used to be a boy back in the day."

"Being a Tom is oh so mysterious man." I joked but quickly said, "please continue.. Heh heh." Yeah I could be a dick at times.

Thankfully Tokiha let it slide. Then he pointed out this long haired boy. My god..

"Akira just appeared one day at my school as a transfer student. She was a he up to the point of graduation. And I was madly in love. It was hard to be with Akira. He was my best friend and we did everything together. But then it got awkward when I began to realize I was falling for him. . I was scared out of my mind that I was gay. I kept reminding myself that it was wrong to feel that way about Akira. It almost ruined our friendship."

He gave me a sincere smile. It hurt to look. It showed that he really was torn at the time. I shifted uncomfortably on the bed.

"It turned out that some high profile crazy stuff was going on in her family. I didn't know anything about it until she decided to tell me.. It seemed that an uncle of hers was in this gang and a hit had been put out on the uncle and anyone of like blood. Her father ordered her to go in as a boy in order to protect her identity until they had gotten things under control. I couldn't believe it."

I felt him shake just a little bit, gripping the book much harder.

"And we dated for a while in the summer and through half of Freshman year, that is.. Before she left without a trace."

"And that's when she transferred to my high school." I whispered to my self in surprise.

Takumi must have heard me, " I guess so.." He then put the album aside and revealed the second book that turned out to be a sketch pad, "Look at this here, it was my only reminder that Akira existed and the love I felt for her was real."

I opened to the very first page and was greeted by one hell of a piece. It was a well done portrait of Akira and Takumi kissing. The colors were so vibrant and the details astounding. It was quite breathtaking.

I decided to give the rest of the book a chance with that first page as my incentive. The next ones after did not fail to amaze me. Akira wasn't very artistic at school but she was like a goddess when her hands roamed these blank pages, giving it life. Many images were of Takumi and some of Akira, random sketches and other grand works of art portraying the loving couple.

"Damn, I wish she drew like this at school." I sheepishly grinned at him.

He gave me a smile before I continued, "So what happened here today was that things resurfaced and you guys found yourselves passionately making out?"

His face flushed and it was his turn to grin like an idiot, "Eheh.. pretty much."

Our talk was interrupted by my phone vibrating. I pressed a button to stop it. I knew it was my sister without even looking. I had to go before things got nasty with her.

"You know, you're a pretty good kid Takumi." I said getting up to stretch. I made my way over to Akira's bag and soon after dapped with the guy.

I noticed that the bathroom door was open and the light was off. Which meant that either Mai didn't know I was here or she was just too embarrassed to see me.

Before I left the house with objective in hand I asked a simple question. "Oi, Takumi..Do you still truly love her?"

"Of course I do!" he said with a smile.

"And not just old girlfriend now lets do it. But would you like to rebuild that relationship?"

He gave me a serious look, "Of course.."

"Leave that stuff to me kid, and you two will be back together in no time." I winked.

And just as I left and started walking down to my bike I said, " Oi, say hello to your sister for me, would ya?"
