"Impossible. You call this a surprise?" Natsume's eyebrows furrowed.
"I guess it is. Your feelings in this situation?"
"Crazy. How did Perso-"
"I have my ways." Noelle interrupted, smiling lightly.
I'm guessing I wasn't the only one confused by this time. Natsume was really happy about this. I know, because having Natsume, cold, stoic, Natsume as your best friend means reading eyes. Only eyes showed what the person was feeling, and over the years, I'd become quite good at this. Having this skill let me see what Noelle was feeling. She was...rather wary, and tense. I wondered why?
Sumire broke the silence.
"How do you know Natsume-kun?"
Noelle was about to answer when she suddenly kneeled down, hands gripping the sides of her head. Natsume yelled.
"Just bloody come in!"
Persona walked in, cold eyes surveying the room. His eyes rested on Noelle, convulsing on the floor. He walked over to her and lifted her chin.
"Ne,Angel, having fun?" He laughed and pressed a mask to her face. She jerked, and then collapsed on the floor, breathing hard. She was wearing a silver mask, the kind that covers half or your face. The mask had black swirly edges, and more swirls around the eye. I knew what that was. It was a control device, just like Natsume's cat mask. Noelle shakily got up to her feet and glared at Persona.
"You just HAD to ruin it." Noelle scowled.
"I think it improved their impression though." Persona smirked.
He handed her a small paper file. Noelle grabbed it and started sifting through the pages.
"This one isn't hard enough." She grumbled.
"So?" Persona looked genuinely perplexed.
"Exchange it!" She demanded.
"No."
They then had a staring contest that weirdly, Noelle won. Persona sighed and exchanged the piece of paper for another. She frowned at the new piece of paper, but didn't say anything. The class was silent, watching. Noelle took out a mini flute like object and blew a haunting melody.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Natsume commented.
"There's Nogi."
"But it won't work."
"Keeps em' calm though, knowing he's there."
They were talking about me? I didn't quite understand what they were talking about. There was scratching on the door. GRAK-GRUK-GRAK Persona walked over and opened the door. Everyone gasped. A beautiful silver gray wolf walked in, heading straight for Noelle. This was too weird, I didn't even sense the presence of it. The wolf's nose pressed into Noelle's stomach.
"Morichi." Noelle smiled briefly.
The wolf jumped out of the window. In a blink of the eye, Noelle's clothes changed from the uniform to a pretty black dress. She was just about to leap out of the window when Natsume grabbed her arm.
"It's none of your business." He said, though eyes pleading.
Noelle smiled the tiniest smile.
"I made it mine a long time ago."
She leapt out of the window, positioned herself on Morichi's back, and raced out of the academy grounds.
