________________
Netto\'s P.O.V
________________
A few weeks later after the incident, things went back to normal again. Which meant school was back in session. And everyone knows how I hate school...
BRRIIIING!!!
\"Mmm...\"
A young NetBattler of about 12, with lightly toned skin, chocolate brown eyes, and brown hair awoke to the sound.
\"Mm...wha?\"
I slowly sat up in his bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
\"Morning already...?\", I said groggily.
\"Hmm?\"
I looked over at my clock and...
\"...NANDATO~!!!!\"
*********
Before you could say Mettaur, I was fully dressed in my usual black shorts, white long sleeve shirt, orange vest, blue bandana with my logo on it, and my roller-blade shoes. I pulled out my PET(Personal Terminal), and shouted.
\"Rockman, why didn\'t you wake me up?!\"
\"I did Netto-kun, about 5 times, and each time, you said you were getting up.\", replied a soft voice.
\"And you believed me?!\"
That\'s Rockman, my Net Navi, or Net Navigator. He\'s really cool. But there are times when he gets annoying. Mostly, when it comes to school. He has the same colored skin as me, but he has these awesome emerald green eyes, and dark-bluish black hair. He\'s always dressed in a blue jumpsuit, with blue gloves and boots, and a helmet with a big yellow square. He also wears my logo on his chest. He\'s also, my brother, because I used my brothers\' DNA in order to make Rockman. But, he\'s more than that. Rockman is my friend.
\"Oh man! Oh man! I can\'t believe I overslept! Today\'s the field trip to SciLab!\", I shouted.
\"Well, you should\'ve woken up the first time I called you.\", Rockman replied.
\"Okay, okay! I get it!\"
I skated down the street as fast as I could, and within moments I reached Den Tech High, my school.
**********
As I opened the door, I slowly snuck in, looking in both hallways to make sure there weren\'t any teachers.
\'So far, so good.\', I thought to myself.
I darted down the hall and stopped by the door to my classroom.
\"Almost home free! Just gotta get in before-\"
\"Before I catch you?\"
\"Ack!\"
I slowly turned around to find myself facing...my teacher.
\"O-Ohayou gozaimasu, Mariko-sensei. What\'re you doing out in the hallway?\", I asked trying to sound innocent.
\"Netto-kun, this is the third time this week that you\'ve overslept. You\'ve got to start getting up on time.\", Mariko replied.
That\'s Ms. Mari. She teaches my class on NetBattles and a whole bunch of other stuff. I\'m the best at NetBattling, but that doesn\'t stop the fact that I get in trouble for...certain reasons.
\"Gomen nasai, Mariko-sensei...I\'ll try harder next time...\", I said apologetically.
\"Well, I\'ll let it slide this time. But next time, I will have to take action. Now come on, let\'s get to class.\"
\"Yes ma\'am!\"
***********
Once we were inside, I took my seat. Then a girl with red hair, again, same colred skin as me, chocolate brown eyes like mine, wearing a seafoam long sleeve shirt, blue vest, pink skirt and brown shoes leaned over and whispered to me.
\"Overslept AGAIN?\", she asked coldly.
\"Hai...\", I said blandly.
\"Honestly, Netto, I worry about you sometimes.\"
That\'s Meiru Sakurai. She\'s one of my closest friends. She\'s loads of fun, but she can be dead serious. Plus, she can be pretty persuasive in her own ways.
\"Ohayou everyone!\", Ms. Mari said.
\"Ohayou Mariko-sensei!\", the class replied.
\"Today we\'ll be going on a field trip to visit SciLab. The place where NetNavis and many other things are created.\"
\"Alright, yeah!!!\"
I looked back to see a big fellow with tanned skin brown eyes, big lips, a small bit of hair, a very large green t-shirt with his logo on it, and blue shorts with matching tenni-shoes. My good friend and rival, Dekao. He\'s really great. He\'s kind, compassionate, and very competitive. He\'s great to have as a friend, and great for battle practice. His Navi Gutsman is pretty much the same. Those two both posess great strengths, but they also have great weaknesses.
\"Pipe down Dekao!\"
I looked at a small girl wearing a red dress with pink zig-zags, and blonde hair braided in pig-tails sitting on top of huge...and very...VERY shiny head. That\'s Yaito. Another one of my friends. She\'s one of the richest people in the world. She lives in a huge mansion pretty close to my house. Sometimes I\'m jealous of her, but, I don\'t let that get in the way of our friendship. Her NetNavi Glyde is a butler Navi, however, due to the fact that she owns every rare and expensive chip in the world, he can be a formidable opponent.
\"But, before we go,\" Ms. Mari continued. \"I\'d like to introduce a new student.\"
The kids started murmuring among each other. Something like,\"New student?\", or from some girls,\"I hope he\'s a cutey!\", and stuff like that.
Just then, a young boy walked in, and my eyes widened when I saw him.
\"Class, this is Rain Yagami.\"
\"Hello Rain.\", the class greeted.
I just continued to stare at him. He was about my age, and had a somewhat feminine figure. Almost made him look like a girl. His skin was a tasty looking cream tone, that was covered in a pink shirt with a heart design in the middle. He also wore black pants that gave off a glare like leather, and seemed skin tight. His hair was midnight blue and his bangs were tipped black. I also noticed that he had fox ears and a fox tail. It seemed to make him look...cute. And then there was his eyes. His eyes were magnificent. The most beautiful pair of sapphire gems I\'d ever seen. They shone of pure innocence, and nothing more. I felt like I had been staring at them for eternity until...
\"Netto-kun, perhaps you\'d like to be so kind as to introduce yourself to Rain?\", Ms. Mari said.
I snapped back to attention and went,\"Huh?\", getting a good chuckle from everyone.
\"Please, be a gentleman and come up here and introduce yourself.\"
\"Um...okay.\"
I got up from my seat and slowly walked over to Rain. I looked at him, and he looked back. I wasn\'t sure, but it seemed like he was studying me. We were silent for a few more moments, then I held out my hand and smiled as I spoke.
\"Ma! Boku wa, Hikari Netto desu!\", I said cheerfully.
Rain just stood there, silently looking at me. My expression slowly started to fade as I felt the heat of embarassment crawl over my body. But before I retracted my hand, he reached out and shook my hand gently, putting the other hand over mine.
\"Boku wa, Yagami Rain desu. Hajimemashite, Netto-kun.\", he replied.
I looked down at Rain\'s hands taking in the feeling from his hands. His hands were so soft, and gentle. They felt so nice to hold. My mind was telling me to let go before Ms. Mari or Rain said something, but I was unable to react.
\"Mm? Netto-kun? Do you have a fever?\", Rain asked me.
\"Eh?\"
He held up one of his hands, pointing at my face.
\"You\'re face is red, and you\'re sweating.\", he stated.
\"Nani?!\"
Then I heard Meiru giggle in the background.
\"Netto\'s blushing!\", she exclaimed.
\"Eh?!\"
She pulled out a compact mirror and gave it to me so I could look. Yep. I definitely didn\'t react quickly enough. My cheeks were covered in a light shade of pink, and I was sweating.
\"Oh man...\"
Soon the entire class started bursting out in laughter. Even Ms. Mari started to laugh. Soon I was glowing bright red due to the embarassment.
\"Aw man...this is definitely my most embarassing moment...\", I said to myself.
But Rain took one of my hands and gave it a gentle squeeze. I looked to him to meet a face of support. Just looking at his face gave me relief. He even leaned in to whisper in my ear that everything would be alright. I smiled when he told me that.
Ms. Mari had us take our seat. And wouldn\'t ya know it? Since there was an empty desk next to me, Rain was assigned that seat. I really don\'t know, but I feel happy having him next to me.
\"Alright, class. I want you to treat Rain well, and make him feel right at home.\", she said. \"Now that, that\'s settled, we\'re going to take a break for thirty minutes. The metro won\'t be here until then.\"
************
The class scattered around the classroom, talking with one another. Yaito and Meiru were holding a conversation on what to buy at the mall over the weekend. Dekao talking with his Navi Gutsman. Probably trying to think of a way to beat me and Rockman. Ha! Fat chance! I on the other hand, looked around for Rain. I found him sitting in an open window. He seemed to be thinking about something. And he also seemed...sad. I walked over and sat across from him.
\"Hi.\",I said.
Rain snapped out of his trance and looked at me a little startled.
\"Hey...\", he said.
\"Something wrong?\"
\"No! No! Not at all!\"
It felt awkward talking to Rain like this. Then again, this IS my first time holding a conversation with him. And it IS his first day after all.
\"...I don\'t have any friends...\", he finally said.
I looked at Rain, with a saddened expression. \'No friends?\', I thought.
\"None?\", I asked, just to make sure.
He shook his head in reply. Only the first day meeting him, and I felt so bad.
\"Rain.\"
\"Yeah...?\"
I gently took his hand and held it in mine. He blushed at this, and looked up at me, with what seemed to be hope in his eyes.
\"...I\'ll be your friend.\", I said.
Then I saw something I wasn\'t expecting to see at all. I saw tears form in Rain\'s eyes, and they slowly streamed down his beautiful face. It hurt me to see him cry, even though I knew they were tears of joy.
Then after, I got one more surprise. He leaned forward and hugged me. I blushed because of this, but it was a nice feeling having his arms around me.
\"Arigatou...Netto-kun...\", he said.
I slowly wrapped my arms around him, hugging him gently, protectively, and...and...
\"I hate to break up such a beautifully romantic moment, but aren\'t forgetting about something?\"
Rain and I backed away a little and looked down at my PET. I pulled it up so both of us could look.
\"Gomen ne, Rokkuman.\"
I handed my PET to Rain so he could meet Rockman.
\"Rain, I\'d like you to meet my brother, best friend, AND NetNavi.\", I said.
\"Hora! Boku wa, Rokkuman desu!\", Rockman greeted.
\"Mm! Boku wa Rain desu!\"
\"It\'s nice to meet you Rain!\"
\"Nice to meet you Rockman!\"
I smiled that they were getting along so well. But, I was kind of upset because Rockman ruined the moment.
\"Well, you guys still have fifteen minutes left, so I\'ll leave you guys to it!\", he said.
The screen went into standby mode, leaving Rain and I to ourselves.
\"Well, what should we do no-eh?\"
Before I knew it, Rain had embraced me once again. I blushed even more than I did before. The feeling was so nice. I couldn\'t help but embrace him as well. Then he looked up at me with his sapphire gem eyes.
\"Netto-kun...\", he said in pure innocence.
\"Rain-chan...\"
I pinched my leg lightly to make sure I wasn\'t asleep, and sure enough, I called him \'Little Rain\'. I couldn\'t help myself. Slowly, ever so slowly, I lowered my head towards Rain, and at the same time, he brought his head towards mine. Pretty soon, our lips connected, and we kissed. It was pure bliss. We didn\'t want to stop, so we just sat there and kissed each other for the entire time. And we didn\'t notice that Rockman had been watching the entire time.
As much as we didn\'t want to, Rain and I slowly parted, trailing a small thread of saliva from each other\'s mouths. Rain then fell forward into my arms, panting for breath. I guess that was his first time. Then again, it was my first time too. However, I wasn\'t as breathless as he was. He slowly looked up at me with his sapphire gems for eyes.
\"Rain-chan...\"
\"Netto-kun...Daisuke desu...Donna fuu ni boku ga suke desu...\"
At that moment, those words were the only thing that had meaning.
\'Daisuke desu...Donna fuu ni boku ga suke desu...\'
Those words echoed in my head. In english, it translated to,\'I love you...All I want to do is be with you and love you...\'.
Just when I was about to pull Rain in for another kiss, Ms. Mari walked in and stood frozen at what she saw.
\"What on earth...?\", she said.
Rain and I looked at her, then we looked at each other. It was a few seconds after we started blushing at being caught. Ms. Mari then looked over the rest of the class, then hurried over to us, and spoke quietly.
\"I figured you had a certain thing for each other, but...you may want to restrain yourselves until AFTER school.\"
Rain and I looked at each other again, then looked back at Ms. Mari and nodded in reply.
\"Good! Now hurry up and get to the MetroStation. It\'s time for us to go to SciLab.\"
Rain and I nodded in reply, then looked at each other once more.
\"Well...guess it\'s time to go.\", Rain said.
\"Yeah...\"
Rain sensed the sad tone in my voice, and took my hand in his. I looked into a cheerful face that reflected what seemed to be affection, maybe love for me.
\"Let\'s get going. Don\'t wanna get in trouble.\"
I smiled and nodded as the two of us walked off, hand in hand.
