Mokuba's First Love

Chapter 6: All in Due Time Mokuba

A week after Valentine's Day, the only two people bouncing up and down the halls was our main characters.

Mokuba and Naomi.

Naomi was happy for some odd reason. Mokuba, however, still remembered the kiss Naomi gave him on the cheek before she went home. The two happily walked side-by-side to the classroom.

"Well I'm glad someone's happy today." Takana-sensei remarked as she entered the room after them. The two merely smiled and sat down at their seats as Takana-sensei began her lesson.

After school, the two went back to Mokuba's house and began on their homework. Mokuba groaned, getting stuck on another question. Naomi heard him groan, and giggled.

"Stuck on another one?" She asked. Mokuba sighed and nodded. Naomi leaned over his shoulder, her breath fanning over his neck. Mokuba shivered a bit. "Something wrong?" Naomi asked. Mokuba smiled and shook his head.

"It's nothing." He said. "Now can you help me with the question?" He said. Naomi blinked, and then smiled; remembering the reason she walked over to him in the first place. The whole time she was explaining, Mokuba couldn't concentrate on anything except the soft breath fanning over his neck. Red began to tint his cheeks. Naomi looked over to him, realizing he wasn't paying attention.

"Mokuba? Your face is all red-" she put a hand on his forehead. "-And you feel warm. You might be sick. I think it'd be best to lie down." Naomi suggested. Mokuba nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. Maybe I should." He replied. Naomi began to pack up her stuff. She had just shrugged her coat on, when she felt something warm touch her cheek. Naomi whipped around, catching Mokuba smiling awkwardly.

"W-what-"

"I never got to return the favor on Valentine's Day." Mokuba said, cutting her off. Naomi blushed, before hurriedly excusing herself and walking out the door. Mokuba sighed and rubbed his head. He caught sight of Naomi's bag. She must've forgot it in her haste to leave. Mokuba grabbed it quickly and dashed out the door. He saw her jump over the fence that separated his house and the forest. Mokuba jumped over the fence and began to chase after her.

He saw her long black hair whip behind her and quickly followed, stumbling into a clearing. He tripped and fell on his knees, wincing a bit.

"Naomi you forgot your-"

'What. The. Hell?!' He thought, looking up.

Standing in the middle of the clearing, was Naomi. But this time, she was in a pale green dress. And the most shocking thing was, she had wings. Wings!! In each of the feathers was a small emerald jewel. It sparkled in the sunlight, and golden dust fell from the bottoms of the wings.

Naomi spun around, her eyes widening at the sight of Mokuba.

"No…" She said softly. "You weren't supposed to know. It's too soon!" She exclaimed, taking a few steps back. Tears fell down her pale cheeks.

"N-Naomi... What's going... on?" Mokuba asked unbelievingly. Naomi didn't seem to hear him.

"Why did it happen so soon?! It should've been at least-" Her hands covered her mouth as she gazed at Mokuba. "Now is not the time. You will learn, Mokuba. In due time you will learn of your destiny. Of mine, and of this curse. All in good time Mokuba. Just wait. Be patient and you will soon understand. For now, bear with me." Naomi told him softly, before she bent her knees and leapt into the sky, disappearing between the clouds as Mokuba called out to her.

"NAOMI!!!!!!!"
