Chapter 1: Only for you, Love
She is my everything. She is my world. She is my angel and knight. How I long for her to love me. How much do I yearn to receive the lovely smiles she gives to him. I know…I know deep inside I am nothing to her, just a simply tool. My heart aches as I think about it but is simply the painful truth.
Crimsons eyes gazed painfully at a female figure from behind a tree. The long raven haired was with a spiked blonde haired boy and a short orange hair, busty teenager. They laughed happily as the kept walking away from the Fuuka school.
Shizuru's hand turned into fist till her nails were deep in her skin and blood started to drip. The brunette simply chuckled and looked back at the empty spot where just a few minutes ago her beloved was. She was envious of Tate's friendship with Natsuki. Something that had simply happened just a few weeks ago and to Shizuru…to her it took months before she could know something enough of Natsuki and relationship…both of them couldn't even call themselves friends.
"Is she really worth it, Kaichou-san?" Yukino's soft voice interrupted the painful thoughts of the President of the Student Council.
The long curls of chestnut hair turned around startled but recognizing the person in front of her, she simply chuckled and gave the short-haired redhead a sad smile and a simple shrug as she walked past her. Yukino then lifted her glasses a little and stated.
"Someone like you shouldn't go through all this."
Shizuru stopped, she glanced at the young woman and then looked at the sky. Now both of them stood with their backs to each other. The Hime's eyes wide slightly as she saw the smile on Shizuru's face and the pain that she could see within the depths of those red, blood eyes.
"If it were Suzushiro-san you will do anything to see her happy wouldn't you, Kikukawa-san? I love Natsuki and I wouldn't hesitate anything when it comes to her. If she is happy with Tate-kun then I will be happy to simply watch her." Shizuru's smiled fell as her hand gripped her chest unconsciously while her other one gripped her skirt tightly, it was shaking from anger or fear. She didn't know. "Even if it means losing her to him. Even if it means pain to me. After all…I am nothing more but a tool to her."
Yukino was too speechless to say anything, she simply watched the retreating and defeated figure of the graceful and lovely Kaichou-san. Soon her eyes were filled with tears, understanding that for some it will be foolish move but Yukino understood it. She understood why Shizuru wouldn't do a simple move on Kuga-san. Shizuru knew, she knew that at least in this life and this time.
Natsuki Kuga, Ice Princess, will never love her for her heart held another one fiercely.
During the few words that were spoken, neither woman noticed someone else watching them from above, the rooftop of the school. The crow cocked its head to the right a black, gloved hand petted it softly. Blue, sapphire eyes glowed mischievously, a wicked smile began to spread on the shadowed face.
"It seems Natsuki no longer needs me." Shizuru said, faking disappointment as she tried hard to stop the inevitable tears. "Why are you so mean to me, ikezu."
"Shizuru stop faking, it won't work this time." The Hime said trying hard not to look at the faking puppy eyes and tears of the brunette, instead chose to admire the simplicity of the tea house of where they both currently were.
"It seems my charms are useless against my lovely Natsuki-chan."
Her heart ache in pain knowing the day has finally come. The unspeakable words that will be spoken from her beloved. The words that will separate any hopes she had to be a closer friend to the raven haired. It was time for them to be once again strangers and not see each other ever again.
Suddenly a mocking laugh filled the room, Natsuki immediately stood by Shizuru's side while materializing her element, ready to shoot any enemy. However in an instant everything went dark. Shizuru was surrounded by wholesome darkness but it soon turned into the beautiful view of a beach.
"Will you? Will you accept my deal if I were to accomplish any of your wish?" said a voice.
The brunette turned her head and gasped. A young woman, blue eyes and long brown hair kneel in front of her. She grasped Shizuru's hand with both of her own and smiled sadly.
"I will grant you any wish, Shizuru-chan." She said, her eyes never gazing away of cherry ones. "To make Natsuki love you, to have everything you will wish for, anything simply ask me and I will grant it to you Shizuru."
"Why will I believe you? There must be a price for such things." Shizuru's voice was unsteady, she wanted to gaze away from the young woman but couldn't, it seemed that her entire body was frozen.
The brunette laughed and stood up. She went behind the older woman and embraced her from the waist.
"I am Eris and I have the power to bring your most impossible fantasies possible, Fujino-san." She whispered seductively next to Shizuru's ear as the brunette tightened her grip. "Ask me whatever you wish, I will bring peace to that heart of yours. I will cease that pain, so tell me what do you wish Shizuru?"
Her eyes widened at what was being given to her yet she couldn't believe it. She knew there was going to be a price, she knew that there was a catch so she didn't utter a word.
Eris frowned, confused and irritated at the lack of a distressed voice or something from the young woman. She then smirked at the sudden idea that popped on her head. The brunette parted from the brunette and laughed again at the tears trailing from Shizuru's pale face as she fell on her knees ungracefully.
The Student Council President was back at the tea house. However Natsuki looked colder, more distant and her face showed displeasure at being here with her right now.
"Shizuru I don't need you anymore. You were useful but now that everything ended there is no reason for me to come back." Natsuki stated coldly and stood up. "Goodbye, Kaichou-san."
With those words, she left and Shizuru's world went dead. One blink. Two blinks and tears covered her eyes. Her heart shattered in pieces not because of the words but of the cold and icy tone that her beloved have given her. She could have felt the cold breeze behind her if she wasn't so distressed both physically and emotionally.
Shizuru was now in all fours sobbing alone in the room. Alone, she was truly alone now. She felt empty, ashamed, disappointed and enraged all at the same time. Her head began throbbing. The brunette curled herself on a side as she held her head painfully.
Images of Natsuki with Tate filled Shizuru's mind….
"Tate…I" Natsuki looked a way shyly with a faint blush, the blonde held both of her hands. His eyes reflected love and he was smiling fondly.
"I realized that Mai and I aren't possible. Shiho is an idiotic brat. Will you forgive me, Natsuki? Will you honor me, the ungrateful being, to become your boyfriend or at least go with me out for a date?"
"Always, always Yuichi."
Then the images changed. Both Tate and Natsuki leaned nearer and nearer each other till their lips touched and kissed. The image changed again.
Tate wore a black tuxedo and Natsuki a white wedding dress. Both of them looked lovely at each other, their hands together, holding one another.
"Now I declare you both husband and wife." The priest said. "you may now kiss her."
Suddenly all of it stopped, she was now at her tea house again and Natsuki was kneeling in front of her with a stretched hand.
"Shizuru please forgive my foolishness, I love you." The Hime said with a fondly smile as she inched nearer to the chestnut haired woman. "Please, let's start a new and happier life."
The brunette's eyes wide, she was too shocked to say anything. She didn't even dare say anything as she felt Natsuki's lips against her. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her mind was going mad as well as herself yet she didn't care. Shizuru started to kiss back taking what she could, enjoying her dream, fantasy whatever it was. She simply enjoyed, grasped it fiercely and passionately. Not wanting to forget the feeling or what she had yearned for all this year since meeting the raven beauty.
Eris laughed again as it went over and over again. Shizuru seeing both sides of what could happen if she chose to wish or not. It stopped finally, when her mind couldn't hold it anymore and with a loud cry of pain, Shizuru fainted both in this realm and the outside world.
"Shizuru! Shizuru! Shizuru say something!" Natsuki's distressful words at last reached the older woman's mind. "Thanks god, Shizuru you are alright."
"Ara?" was the only thing she could say as her vision was still blurry and her head throbbed.
"Fujino-san please don't scare us like this." The school's nurse said coming to sit next to her beloved. "Kuga-san here brought you unconscious and, frankly, really worried about your health."
Yet the woman in question didn't say a thing, she didn't even notice the faint blush from Natsuki. Her mind simply repeated the last words she remembered from Eris before falling to unconsciousness.
Tomorrow, Shizuru-chan, tomorrow you will tell me your wish if you do so still want it. I will wait for you at the same place.
After reassuring Natsuki many times that she was fine, she was granted solitude at the tea house once again. Shizuru smiled affectionately at the way Natsuki was so concerned about her but it soon disappear when she saw Eris grinning at her.
"No smile for me huh?" she taunted. "You should be happy, it took a simply fainting to make your beloved be truly worry about you. Shouldn't you thank me?"
"I will thank you nothing." Crimsons eyes glared at sapphire ones. "I wish to know what is that you do, Eris-san."
"Well I am a guardian. What I guard, is a secret unless you accept the job and conditions of the wish."
"Why will I accept such things."
Abruptly Shizuru came face to fame with the brunette, who was smirking madly.
"Because, Fujino-san you are a coward. You say you know Natsuki but you don't. The only thing you truly know about her is that she doesn't and won't love you." Shizuru ignored the taunt and stayed in silence. "I can grant you the happiness, the life you wish. What every human wishes for! And all this is in exchanged that when your time of death comes you will replace me on my job."
"I won't force Natsuki into something she doesn't wishes for."
"You saw what I did, there is a little just a little possibility for both of you to have happiness. Don't you want to risk it? Or don't you wish to make her express her true feeling for you?"
Then three shots and Eris was tossed to the wall because of the force of the bullets. Natsuki had both of her elements pointed at the brunette, Duran next to her ready to load and shoot if necessary. Mai and Yuichi were behind them staring at the scene curiously.
"Natsuki!" Shizuru called astonished.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on Shizuru." The raven-haired threaten glaring angrily at Eris while walking toward the brunette. "Are you ok? She didn't hurt you did she?" Natsuki's voice softened and glanced for any injuries then glared back at the now standing brunette. "I won't let you hurt her!"
"Girl, do you think I am a threat to her?" Eris taunted while laughing at the same time. "You hurt her more than I have done in the last few hours." Snapping her fingers, two orphans appeared and launched toward Yuichi and Mai. Her hand glowed bright gold as she ran to Natsuki just before gun and fist met, Shizuru threw herself to Eris.
"I accept, I accept the deal. Grant my wish and leave them alone." The graceful President of the Student Council pleaded helpless and worried that something worst could happen if they fought.
"Be it then, wish granted."
How foolish was the creature, how idiotic was she for not asking what the wish was first before fulfilling it. Everyone was thrown outside as they watched powerless while Eris and Shizuru were enveloped by the wind.
Blue eyes suddenly opened wide and shocked, the creature turned to stare at the smiling brunette.
"You! You tricked me!" she yelled in rage. "How dare you!? How dare you do this to me!? FUJINO YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" those were the last words of Eris as she disappeared completely.
"You won't harm Natsuki, you won't trick any innocent person any longer not now or ever." Shizuru whispered her eyes's color redder than usual as she smiled sadly. "For I have chosen to become an Immortal."
Two centuries later…
A range of yells and cries were heard from the center of a park. A loud crowd of teenagers cheered fiercely at the two figures fighting each other. One had very short black hair with braids, along with yellow eyes. The other one was Shizuru. She looked exactly as before, she hasn't aged a day since her deal with Eris. Behind each of them and further on the cheering crowd stood two other women. One was a busty, short orange hair and the other one was a long raven-hair. They were staring at each other defiantly, purple to green.
"Kiyohime finish this off now!" the raven haired commanded her eyes shifting from her opponent to her fighter. Her fists tightened as well as her teeth as she waited.
"Pierce to cause pain, descend into this world…" Shizuru began chanting. "Needles! Pain at the pulse is a sigh of living pour down like rain, descend onto the targets!" as she finished both of her enemies were pierced by a bunch of needless. Both of the cried in pain and fell on their all four, Natsuki smirked while Shizuru stared emotionless.
"Mai!" the yellow eyes woman turned around worried as she shook the needles off her and stood up.
"It's…alright…Mikoto…" replied the other woman, panting and breathless, standing on one knee. "Don't…think we are….done…Natsuki." look straight up at the raven haired who smirked. "Mikoto!"
"It is useless." Shizuru stated as she chanted again. "Let all the needles pierce in, pierce them! The power to operate machines! Electricity! Attack the enemy!" soon both Mai and Mikoto cried in pain once more. "Surrender now, struggling is pointless."
Mai glared at Shizuru who simply stared emotionless back at her. The busty woman simply sighed and looked away muttering some words and disappearing. The crowd cheered louder, saying 'Kiyohime! Kiyohime!' Natsuki simply hmphed and walked away, Shizuru following quietly.
They stopped at a coffee shop and sat at their usual spot. The farthest corner of the right. Shizuru cocked her hair to a side and blinked at the disappointed and angry look of the raven haired.
"Why isn't Natsuki satisfy with the battle? It is clearly we won the spell battle." She commented, sipping her tea gracefully.
The other woman simply sighed and drank her coffee. "They underestimated us, besides it wasn't an official battle between sacrifices and fighters so it wasn't worth anyway." She sighed again and looked away, her chin now resting on her hand as she continuing drinking her coffee.
"Ara, Natsuki is truly disappointed that she didn't get to have a real fight with them, is she?" the brunette teased.
"They are suppose to be one of the most famous pairing!" Natsuki complained a little too loud, she was irritated and annoyed now. "They are Forgotten! At least the could do better!"
"Mikoto-san is a fine fighter however she worries too much about Tokiha-san." She said, finishing her tea. "Because of that Tokiha-san also worries about Mikoto-san and it's an endless cycle. But if their lives depended on it, might as well turn the tables."
"You can sound so cold, Kiyohime." Natsuki grumbled and then groaned while staring at her fighter. "Will you ever tell me your real name?"
"Nope."
"I am suppose to be your sacrifice! Why won't you tell me?"
"It is an unnecessary thing, Na-tsu-ki."
"Don't say my name like that, its disturbing." A faint blush started to appear on her face as Shizuru giggled.
"I think Natsuki likes it and your blushing is so cute."
"I am not cute!"
"Ok, ok."
But soon, Shizuru was laughing hysterically at the cute blushing face of Natsuki, who was looking away with her arms crossed and pouting. Her eyes twitch from time to time, seeing that Shizuru wasn't stopping her laughing any sooner she shouted and glared.
"Idiot!"
I don't know how many time have passed since I have seen your beautiful face, Natsuki. My heart was in pain too, once I totally disappeared from your life, but you continue living saying that your friends and I wouldn't want to see you waste yourself. I am so happy, after waiting for so long. I finally see you, well your reincarnation anyway. In this new world with its own danger. This time, I promise you I will be one protecting you Natsuki. For I love you, for you are the only who holds my heart forever and ever.
