Hello! Just your friendly reminder that I, Kaze, do not own Mai-hime. (Sadly.)
Summary: Natsuki Kuga is a recent transfer to Fuuka Military Arts Academy, an aspiring gun mechanic with big dreams but little social life. Unfortunately for her, being a regular motorcycle rider has attracted the attention of Shizuru Fujino, leader of the biker group "Hime Stars." All she wanted was to earn her degree, but from the looks of it, it's going to be a long ride.

Adjust the clutch to one, and ease on the throttle. Don't push it forward, let the bike do the work for you. There you go, nice and easy now.
Wind gently blew in the open window, causing the sleeping figure to subconsciously pull the baby blue blanket over her shoulders. Long, raven blue hair took to the breeze. It's okay, this is your first time. Don't get so down on yourself, you'll get better with practice.
Hands reached out as if grabbing at the handles of something, but instead settled for a disregarded pillow on the edge of the small bed.
"But Dad..." Natsuki whimpered in her sleep, shivering from the wind. Emerald eyes slowly opened, confusion touching the beauties face as to why sunlight was in her room. And as to why her window was open. Feeling a sudden rush of adrenaline at the thought of someone breaking into her home, she reached under her bed and pulled out a old fashioned, wood baseball bat. Completely spacing on the fact she was in nothing but a sports bra and boxer briefs, she edged towards her door ever so slowly.
Ba-dump.
Gently pulling open the door to not make a noise, Natsuki pushed her hair out of her eyes as she tip toed out of her room. Hearing someone in the kitchen. the raven haired woman raised the bat above her head.
Ba-dump.
"AAAHHHHHH-"
"Natsuki, what are you doing?" It took a moment for the fact she was standing in front of her room mate, hardly wearing anything, to settle in.
"M-m-m-m-Mai!" Said girl sighed, than reached up and took the bat from her room mate's hands, not before hitting her in the head with her own weapon.
"Ow! Hey! What was that for?!" Instead of receiving an answer, she was once again hit in the head making her whine and pout like a puppy. Mai sighed once again, before tossing the bat aside and pointing to the small table. "I made some toast and eggs, but I have to head out for work so clean up afterwards will you?" Natsuki nodded as she picked up her weapon of choice. "Will do Mai. Anything else?"
"Yeah. Put some clothes on, our neighbors are enjoying the show." Mai grabbed her purse and left before she could be caught in the cross fire of the furious pup. "Oh gosh..." Hearing the shouts coming from her small house, Mai shook her head.
"Serves you perverted bastards right!" Natsuki growled at the now bloodied neighbor boys. She had leaped out of the window at the boys whom had been not so discrete in staring at her toned body. Climbing back in through the window, Natsuki slammed it shut than stormed back into her room. Slipping on a pair of black dress pants, a white tank top, and a navy blue blazer, she stuffed her pockets with her keys and phone. It wasn't something she used a great deal, but Mai had demanded she carry it in case of emergency. Making sure to tuck her wallet in her blazer pocket, Natsuki made her way out to the kitchen. Knowing she had wasted so much time on teaching the perverts next door a lesson, Natsuki threw out the cold eggs and smeared mayo onto the toast. Licking her lips, she eagerly ate the mayo drenched toast.
After taking care of her bathroom needs, Natsuki did one last look through the house to make sure the windows were shut, lights off, and nothing was out of place.
"Freaking Mai, always opening the windows. Is she trying to get us robbed?!" Grumbling under her breath, Natsuki locked up the house than walked over to her bike. It wasn't a crotch rocket as she had always wanted (her job wasn't high pay) but it got her from home to school. It was a 2010 Victory Hammer, flat black paint job with the custom red "V" for Victory on the side. Straddling the bike, Natsuki started it up with a small smile touching her lips. This was the high light of her day, heck, of her life. Feeling the purr of the engine underneath her, the excitement never got old. Tucking the kick stand up, Natsuki took off with a sharp turn to the right. It was the same thing every day, she'd wake up to either Mai kicking her out of bed or something strange happening, get ready for school, than jump on her bike and off to school it was. She couldn't complain though, her life wasn't difficult. Her only bills were at half the price since moving in with Mai, meaning she could take less hours at work and more time to study.
Natsuki grinned as she turned onto the high way. Even if the speed limit was set, no one followed it. She could always cut loose once she hit the high way, and it was well worth it. Her grin grew into a toothy smile as she picked up speed, flying by cars and other bikers. Her motorcycle may not come fast straight from the factory, but that doesn't mean she didn't tweak with it.
It didn't take long for her to reach Fuuka Military Academy. It wasn't a huge school, but it wasn't small either. Parking in her spot under the shade of a tree, Natsuki locked up her bike than walked to her first class.

"Kiyohime-sama, should we let him go?" A sly voice broke the uncomfortable silence that had filled the warehouse. Laying on the floor was a man bloodied and broken, his whimpers of pain serving as entertainment to the women around him. The person known as Kiyohime walked around the man, almost like a beast circling its prey. Delivering a kick to the man's stomach, Kiyohime leaned down and grabbed him by his hair.
"What's wrong, little boy? Ara, leaking information isn't going so well for you, now is it?" Snickering filled the room, a glare from crimson colored eyes silenced them.
When she didn't get an answer, she slammed the man's head back into the floor.
"Get him out of my sight. Three days to leave town, take any longer than that, and your life will be mine. Understood?" He nodded weakly.
"Kiyohime-sama! Got something I think you'll like!" A with black hair in two braids skipped up to the fierce leader with a laptop.
"Ara, what could it be? I have a busy day, please do not waste my time." A smile broke out on the cat like girl's face.
"Look!" Kiyohime pressed the play button, her eyebrows raising. "What is this about?"
"Listen!" The sound was turned up, filling the air with the sounds of a motorcycle.
"That can't be right. That's only a Victory Hammer, they can't get up to that speed without serious work."
"Yeah, but get this Shizuru," the woman glared at the red head as she walked up to her, "we've been keeping a eye on that girl. The custom work on that bike isn't something you normally come across. She messes with that bike about every night when she gets home. She could be useful."
Shizuru let out a frustrated sigh. This wasn't the first time Nao and Mikoto had took in upon themselves to look for new members to bring in ever since the "traitor" had killed three of their members.
"Ara, she is a cutie. What do we know about her?" Mikoto pulled up another screen on the computer.
"Kuga Natsuki, age 21, born in Norfield Germany. Moved to America at the age of 13 after her father's sudden disappearance, no next of kin. Adopted by a two star general of the United States Army who died two years later. Weird, she moved to Fuuka three years ago under a scholar ship from some big name gun company. Chick must be great with her hands."
"Ara, I would surely hope so. Nao, lets pay Nat-su-kii a visit."
