"She's taken."

Anh turned to the face that just told her the words.

"Taken? But she's flirting with a few girls."

Her acquaintance, who she happened to be chatting, with chuckled as she took another sip from her drink.

"Look Lu, she only flirts. You can't touch her."

Anh scoffed, she could touch ANYONE.

"Who has her Yuuki, you?"

Nao finished her drink, and looked across the dance floor that had streaming lights and sweaty bodies.

"Puh-lease." Nao sighed, "Haven't you been here before?"

Anh smiled and leaned in closer, "Yuuki, I own a fucking company. I'm a millionaire. Chicks want me bad, and I got the looks."

Nao didn't bother arguing, it was true. Everyone in the club knew Anh Lu. But apparently Anh Lu didn't know everyone.

"Besides, she may be exceptionally hot, but she'll beg me like all the others."

Anh was about to get up when Nao's voice stopped her.

"Lu, even you can't get her. Don't say I didn't warn you. The farthest you can get to her is a dance, so don't think she will succumb like all your other bitches."

Anh rolled her eyes and decided to walk up to the girl she had them set on all evening. It was her usual practice: pick out a girl and get what she wanted, sometimes even more than one girl.

"You know," she said as she approached the mysterious beauty, "I have never seen someone look that good in a skirt."

She knew that this girl was a flirt, so she would make sure to flirt back.

The woman spared her an amused glance, and Anh smiled. The eyes were beautiful and she wanted them to admire her.

So of course Anh smirked when the woman shamelessly scanned her own attire.

"I think you could be an opponent if you wore one."

Anh's grin grew further. And Yuuki thought she couldn't get this woman!

"You are Anh Lu, am I correct?" Anh found her voice beautiful when it said her name. It would sound better if it screamed her name.

"The one and only, Miss..."

"Ara, you don't know my name?" She feigned hurt but giggled, "I'm Shizuru. Shizuru Kuga."

Anh smiled, "nice to meet you Shizuru-chan."

She high-fived herself mentally when she made Shizuru giggle again.

"So," Anh started, "my intentions should be clear. Would you like to dance?"

Shizuru actually thought about it. Usually girls blurted out a yes while blushing or smiled seductively and took her hand.

"I guess, considering I haven't gone to the dance floor tonight."

Anh took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Yes! She was sooo getting it tonight. Yuuki just talked bullshit. Shizuru wanted her like everyone else, how could someone so flirtatious be presumably taken? How could someone resist her charm?

Anh frowned when Shizuru kept respective distance on the floor, unlike other couples who were drunkenly bumping and grinding like no tomorrow. She tried moving closer, but Shizuru would maintain the distance between them. What the hell?

Just after one dance and small chit chat, a bouncer came up to them and told Shizuru that her ride was waiting outside.

This really upset Anh, but she followed to escort Shizuru outside. She wanted more time with the beauty.

"Thank you for the dance," Shizuru said once they were outside. Anh didn't see any cars except for someone on a sleek black motorcycle. Since there seemed to be no one, and Shizuru was turning away from her, she took her chance.

"Wait," she grabbed Shizuru's wrist and spun her around so they were facing. Shizuru actually seemed confused, but Anh smirked and moved in to plant a nice kiss on those inviting lips.

They tasted just as she thought they would, but the second was over too soon because she was forcefully pushed off, and was met with an angry gaze from Shizuru.

"I think you should leave," the red eyed beauty said sternly.

"What! You flirt with me and then that's it?"

Anh moved forward to touch her again, about to force another kiss form the struggling Shizuru when a pain shot through her cheek as a forceful punch landed her on her ass.

Before she could react, she was lifted by her collar by the same strength and was met with a motorcycle helmet and no face.

She could feel their anger pulse through her body, and she was for the first time in a very long time, afraid.

The person was about to punch her again but Anh watched as their hand was held back by a calm Shizuru.

"Natsuki, she didn't know any better. Let's go home?"

The hand still holding her up gripped tight as if to contemplate murder, but when Shizuru uttered a small "please?" It released her back to the ground and furiously went to black motorbike.

Anh sat there, in fucking pain, no one ever dared to hurt her! She growled and forced herself up. She was a fucking millionaire, and that person was sooo going to pay. She swore again at the retreating bike.

Shizuru dismounted the motorcycle when she reached her house. It was a beautiful beach house, the backyard was the ocean.

She followed her still furious motorcyclist inside the beautiful building, and made some tea after taking off her shoes.

After the silence, she handed Natsuki the tea and sat next to her on the couch, considerate of the woman's temper.

She was about to bring her own cup of tea to her lips, but Natsuki stopped her hand.

"Don't," she said as a command.

The command confused Shizuru, but she obliged and put the tea down on the table.

She gasped when Natsuki suddenly hugged her in a fierce embrace, claiming her in possessiveness.

"Nothing should touch your lips but me, Shizuru."

Shizuru felt her heart beat faster as Natsuki moved slightly back so they were face to face. The green eyes betrayed the anger in her voice, for they were full of love and pleading.

Natsuki bent forward and brushed her lips to Shizuru's, a gentle kiss for a small time before she broke it and hugged her once again.

"Sorry Natsuki, forgive me." The woman said into the neck of her love. "I had no idea she would go that far, I-"

Shizuru was cut off as the grip on her tightened, and Natsuki shook her head.

"It was not your fault."

"But, I flirted with her and-"

"Shizuru." The tone was used to shut her up, and it worked. "As I have said; it is not your fault. I am the one who has been ignorant lately due to work. Please forgive me; I know your actions are only for your entertainment. I trust that you would never go beyond that barrier."

Shizuru let a tear roll down her cheek, Natsuki was such a kind soul. She hugged her harder and smiled at the familiar warmth.

Natsuki had been busy with work lately, and Shizuru's flirting was just a crave for her attention. She would never- could never- betray her wife.

"Natsuki, it's been too long since you held me."

Natsuki was kissing her neck now, always so gentle since she didn't want to bruise the lovely skin.

"I know. I am sorry, let me make it up to you?" her voice was now a husky whisper, the same voice which always trapped Shizuru in a trance.

Her response was to kiss her love, demanding more.

And more she got, right in their living room.

"Ouch, what happened to you?" Anh had a black eye, and bruises on her face. She grinned, "Someone was jealous of my good looks."

Her secretary giggled at the joke. Anh entered her office and sat down in her chair; no way was she going to admit why she was really punched. She got angry upon remembering last night.

She was not one to get defeated. She would have Shizuru Kuga, and she would get the asshole that dared touch her face.

She dialled a number on her contacts and put the phone to her ear.

"Yuuki here." The voice said, and Anh smirked.

"Yuuki, its Lu. I need some information."

Nao walked up to the guards and nodded at them as they gave her access to the big mansion.

"She's in her room Yuuki-sama." Nao smiled at the name. Natsuki demanded that people call her that around here, and it was very amusing.

She knocked on the door and heard a voice say "enter."

She arched an eyebrow at the view she got. There was her good friend Natsuki Kuga, giving her hot wife a massage while she wore a silk black bath robe.

Damn, Kuga had it all, but Nao would agree that no one deserved it more.

"Nao," Natsuki smiled; something that only close friends would witness.

"Nao-chan," Shizuru turned her head up, completely unembarrassed that she was naked under a towel.

"Yo," Nao sat down on a chair and put her feet up.

Natsuki frowned as she now massaged Shizuru's feet (who was clearly enjoying the massage).

"What's wrong?" Natsuki could read Nao like an open book, and she knew that the friendly visit had a purpose from the way she acted.

Nao sighed, "This has to do with last night."

She saw Natsuki's eyes narrow, and Shizuru actually blush as one of her wife's hands moved under the towel on her bare skin in possessiveness.

"What about it?"

Nao flipped out her phone which Natsuki gave her, "the girl who hit on Shizuru last night is a business acquaintance of mine."

Natsuki was making the room colder with her mood.

"I was at the club with her last night, and warned her when she set her eyes on you," Nao made eye contact with Shizuru, who seemed rather unpleased upon remembering that night.

"And then," Nao continued making eye contact with Natsuki, "she went ahead being a cocky brat and said she could get through to you."

Shizuru shivered when Natsuki touched a sensitive spot.

Nao put her phone under her chin with an amused face, "the woman phones me up today, since she knows of my skills," she continued and her face showed distaste.

"She asked me for information on you two, I think she wants revenge for something, and it sounds like she won't give up."

Shizuru sighed, this was troublesome.

Natsuki removed her hands from the towel, and stood as she paced slowly around the large room thinking.

"She's lucky I only hit her once." Natsuki said as she looked up to Nao.

Nao laughed, "You hit her?"

Shizuru sat up and made sure the towel covered her smooth body, "Yes," Nao turned her attention to the brown haired beauty, "Lu-san forcefully kissed me, and so Natsuki attempted murder."

Shizuru teased with that comment, and Nao grinned when she saw a small blush on Natsuki's cheek. The couple before her never ceased to amaze her.

"Warn her, Nao." Natsuki said as the blush died down. "Make sure she knows who she's messing with."

And with that said, Nao nodded and joined the couple for lunch after they got dressed.

She knew first hand from experience the results of Natsuki Kuga's temper.

FLASHBACK--

"Get back here you little bitch!" Natsuki ran through the streets, she was only 11 and had to steal to survive.

She hid in an alleyway, having successfully gotten some bread and walked up the roof.

She saw a girl around her age with chestnut hair knock on a door beneath her. She saw the door be opened by a man who swayed as if drunk.

"About time you got home you worthless bitch! Where's the food?"

"I..." the girl stuttered, "I couldn't g-get any."

The man pushed her forcefully and she hit the ground with a thud, but there was no fear in her eyes. Only hate.

She was slapped, but just sat there, waiting for another to come, but it never did. Instead she saw her father fall unconscious and a pole hit the ground. There stood a girl in dirty clothes and green eyes holding out a hand to her.

She took it hesitantly. She was about to speak, but the girl pushed a big loaf of bread into her hands. Then, the girl simply walked away from the alley.

What the hell was that?

Days went by, and everyday Shizuru would find some kind of food on her doorstep, and her father's anger was subsided. She would get glimpses of her secret helper before she would always leave again.

There was one occasion about 7 months later, when Shizuru came home to find her father in his usual drunk state. He usually yelled at her, but this time he pushed her down and pinned her.

He was going to rape her.

She struggled and actually cried, her bastard of a father hit her when she did and ripped her bottoms off.

It had been painful.

That night she cried for hours, violated and hurt. She was only eleven for fuck sakes! She decided to run away, and so she gathered some money her father used for his liquor, and ran off into the night.

As she left the alleyway, she decided to go to a park she knew of and sat on a swing there, fighting back more tears.

She looked up to find a figure approach her, her first instinct was to run, but she calmed down when she realised it was the green-eyed girl who secretly saved her countless times.

The girl just stood to her left and leaned on the metal pole, looking kind of cool.

They were silent as Shizuru just sat there looking down, and Natsuki continued staring at her.

"I never got to say thank you." Shizuru looked up to her gaze, and was surprised when the girl blushed and looked away.

"It's okay." She said and then looked back to the crimson eyes, "are you okay?"

Shizuru trembled a bit, and then cried more tears as she remembered the horrible sin that had happened earlier.

She shook her head no and just let the crying continue. After she cried, the girl never asked for a reason, but stayed there silently. They rarely talked, but Shizuru followed the girl to a beat down building.

"This is Midori," Natsuki had pointed her to a woman with red hair who gave her a smile which Shizuru shyly returned.

"Ah, Natsuki-chan, who is this?"

"I'm Shizuru."

"Nice to meet you Shizuru-chan. Why don't you follow Natsuki-chan inside? You look like you need some rest."

Shizuru nodded and followed Natsuki inside, where she slept on a small bed for the night.

Natsuki slept on the floor.

The next day, Shizuru had told Midori when asked what her father did to her. Midori had hugged her and told her she was to stay with them from now on.

So Shizuru did exactly that. It turned out that Midori had housed quite a few kids such as herself. Natsuki rarely spoke to anyone. All of the kids were girls, and all had a dark past that brought them together on some level.

There was a girl Akane, another one Mai, and Nao. They were all friendly to her and around the same age.

Mai was the oldest, and Nao the youngest. Midori had books where she educated them in studies since she used to be a school teacher. She taught them all up to a high school level since there was usually nothing else to do.

One day they were all seated, eating a dinner that Nao and Natsuki had stolen, when Midori asked them all what was something they had always wanted.

"I want to cook in a restaurant," Mai had smiled.

"I want a cell phone and a TV," Nao had said with a mouth full.

"To have a nice and beautiful wedding to a prince," Akane blushed at the thought.

"I want to fly," Shizuru looked out the window, and they all burst out in giggles, even Midori. Natsuki of course just smiled slightly.

"What about you Natsuki-chan?" Midori asked as she drank some water.

"I want..." Natsuki bit her lip, looking adorable and like a child, "I want a motorcycle."

Three years passed of living together and having some simple happiness.

Natsuki and Shizuru were now 14, Akane 15, Nao 13 and Mai was 16. Midori claimed she was 17, but that was not true.

For birthdays, Midori made an effort to get them cake.

Mai and Akane could study at a university level, while Natsuki, Shizuru, and Nao were at a high school senior's level.

Midori had gotten killed. She was with Mai and Natsuki when a man tried to rob her. Natsuki had hit him, but more men came and Midori ended up getting stabbed before the men ran off in panic.

It was the worst day of their lives.

After the murder, police had tried interrogating the girls on the murder.

Some of the cops started trying to touch Mai, and Natsuki tried to stop them. They hit her and continued to try and rape Mai. Shizuru had been traumatized and remembered her father. Natsuki watched in horror as Shizuru silently stood, and the cops tried to rape them all.

They were outnumbered by 8 large men to 5 young girls.

She didn't know what happened, but Natsuki had retaliated with pure hate. She hit the guy in the face so hard he went back, and then she stepped on his genitals and took his gun.

Natsuki shot him dead.

Then she shot the man touching Shizuru, followed by the one who dared almost defile Mai.

After killing 3 men, she didn't stop and in rage she shot the ones pinning down Nao and the ones who had been ripping of Akane's clothes.

8 officers lay dead and bloody in their only sanctuary of years.

Natsuki calmly dropped the gun; all of the rounds had been used, and the barrel hot from use.

She went to the officers and did something she had never thought of before.

She robbed their wallets, and took their guns.

Her friends watched her in silent horror, not daring to say anything.

Natsuki packed a small bag, and turned to the shocked girls in the room.

"Let's go."

And they silently followed her lead.

Natsuki took them all to the train station, and she used the money the cops had to buy train tickets to the first train that came.

They went to Tokyo.

She also bought them all clothes and food, and did not speak even once the entire time.

Once arriving in Tokyo, she got a small cheap hotel room and they all went to bed.

The next morning they awoke to find no Natsuki. They were all still hurt from the ordeal, and panicked that she was not around. She came later, with bags of food and gave it to them.

The paleness of her face and the weariness in her eyes was proof to them that she had not slept and most likely not eaten the entire time.

"We're leaving," Natsuki had said after they ate, and she checked out the hotel and took them down a few streets. They were too scared to question her.

She took them to an apartment complex, and to their surprise she had a key to one of them. It was a pretty decent apartment. There was a bed big enough for two people, and a small kitchen and a couch.

They lived like that for a few days.

Natsuki would always leave and bring them food; they didn't question how she got it.

"What are these?" Nao asked as Natsuki handed them all clothes.

"Uniforms. Starting Monday you guys are transfer students at the high school nearby."

They were shocked of course; they had never gone to school. They would all be one year apart in grades as well, but they did not question Natsuki's voice. She was the unspoken leader now, and they did not want to hurt her feelings.

School was actually fun. All of the girls got excellent grades and were popular from their beauty and intelligence. A person being so kind was foreign to them, but they took what they could get and participated.

Natsuki was kind of like a proud parent when they told her of their marks in school; they never asked her why she didn't attend with them. They knew she had some 'work' she did which funded them.

Natsuki moved them to a house. It was a simple house, but they were all giddy when they got it.

"What's this?" Nao asked as they all sat in the living room looking at various boxes on the floor.

"Um, gifts." Natsuki blushed and sat down.

"Gifts? Ara, Natsuki is so sweet." Shizuru made Natsuki blush even more.

"Natsuki, you already gave us more than enough..." Mai affectionately said.

"Please." Natsuki said it, and they all smiled before finding and opening the gift with their name.

"No way!" Nao smiled happily.

They all had cell phones. Natsuki smiled, glad that they all liked it, and excitedly showed them details as they put each other's numbers in it.

The next week Natsuki added a television to their house.

Akane had started going out with a boy, he was gentle and kind and extremely handsome.

Natsuki did not like it.

But she knew that if anything bad were to happen, she would kill that Kazuya with her own hands. Fortunately, that never happened.

"Natsuki, what is your job?" Shizuru bravely asked, as she looked up from her food. She had been very aware that Natsuki had been staring at her cleavage and knew why she was blushing.

But she wanted answers.

The other three also looked up and all stared at Natsuki expectantly. They all had an idea, but wanted to know for sure.

Natsuki looked away and gripped her chopsticks. The chopsticks broke, and then she relaxed.

"I work for a gang."

They all sat silent; that had been their guess.

Natsuki stood up from the table; her head hung in shame as she left her food on the table and quietly went to her room.

They all sat in silence as she left.

Natsuki sent them to school, fed them, sheltered them, clothed them, and protected them. She bought them gifts as well.

What did she get out of it?

She did dirty work so they could have happiness. Was Natsuki truly happy?

Natsuki's hand twitched by her gun as she watched her mob boss force himself on a helpless girl.

This was wrong, she knew. It reminded her of when those bastard cops touched her family.

She looked around the room at other members who all seemed to want to do the same thing. The poor girl had tears in her eyes as the Yakuza lord ripped her shirt.

Natsuki's eyes narrowed. Was that how Shizuru had been touched by her bastard father? The thought of someone raping Shizuru is what caused Natsuki to pull out her gun swiftly and shoot the bastard in his head.

He died instantly, and her smoking gun stayed in place as everyone stared in shock at what had just happened.

Natsuki walked up to the girl and put her sweater on the shaking girl's shoulders.

"Yamada, get some tea." She ordered who had been the Mob man's second in command, and he grinned before following her order.

In one swift judgement and killing, Natsuki Kuga became the new Yakuza lord of the South district in Tokyo.

It is kind of surprising how everyone listened to her so easily, but they did.

A mansion. They now lived in a mansion that had body guards who addressed them as 'sama.'

They never thought this day would ever come. So much respect! It was overwhelming.

Natsuki seemed unfazed by it all, and just acted like they were always rich.

She had them go to school in a limo.

"For me?" Natsuki looked shocked as her family all nodded.

"It was Shizuru's idea," Nao explained and grinned when Shizuru blushed.

Natsuki stared in awe at the motorcycle before her.

Her eyes watered from emotion, but no tears came out.

"Thank you," She had said, looking the most human they had seen her since she brought them to Tokyo.

Natsuki drove her motorcycle to surprise Shizuru at her high school. Mai and Akane now both went to university.

She saw Nao walk up to her with a wave and she removed her helmet, annoyed at all the curious stares she was receiving.

She had gone from having nothing to having more than enough. She was filthy rich and ordered a gang of about 1/8th of the city around. It was surreal.

Natsuki saw Shizuru walking with a small group who must be the 'fans' she had heard of. Natsuki did not like them at all.

That was her Shizuru.

Nao smirked when she saw Shizuru make a few girls blush and Natsuki tense. Shizuru walked up to them, and the group that had followed her all seem hesitant when they saw her approach someone on a bike.

Natsuki tried to control her temper, but it was pretty hard.

"Let's go Shizuru." She pushed a helmet in Shizuru arms before putting on her own and revving her engine.

Shizuru shrugged; maybe Natsuki had a bad day?

Nao grinned and said she would see them later at home.

Shizuru gripped Natsuki's waist tightly as they sped through the streets. She really did love that motorcycle, it allowed her to feel Shizuru's embrace.

"Don't you guys think Natsuki's been acting strange lately?" Shizuru asked them since Natsuki wasn't home that evening. Not that she usually was...

Shizuru had always cared for Natsuki the most, it was no secret.

The other three grinned, "Shizuru, you really don't know?"

Her confused face caused them to laugh.

"Ara Ara, tell me what's so funny!" Shizuru threatened as she held Nao's cell phone from her.

"Okay, okay!" Nao panicked for her phone as Akane and Mai continued laughing.

"Natsuki has always been really protective of you, haven't you noticed Shizuru?" Mai said as she ate a potato chip form a bowl.

To think, a few years ago they would never have known what a potato chip tasted like.

Shizuru thought about it, "that's not true; she is very protective of all of us."

Nao rolled her eyes, "honestly Shizuru, Natsuki has strong feelings for you."

Shizuru's face went serious, was that true? That was like a dream come true for her.

"Are you sure?" All of them were suddenly caught off guard at the seriousness of Shizuru's voice.

They nodded and Shizuru seemed in deep thought.

"Do you guys know how Natsuki and I met before she brought me to Midori?"

They all shook their heads, no, extremely interested.

Shizuru smiled fondly upon remembering, "Well you know of my father, yes?" They answered with nods in sync.

"There was one night when I was 11, and he abused me for not bringing food that evening." Shizuru's face went cold and so did the other three.

"Before he could seriously injure me, he was knocked unconscious by a pole."

She took a chip and ate it.

"Before I could say anything I saw a loaf of bread shoved into my arms, and this girl with green eyes just walked away without saying anything."

"That was Natsuki?" Akane asked, to which Shizuru nodded.

"And every night after that, I would find food at my door and I would see her sitting up on a ledge to make sure I got it. Then she would leave without saying anything."

"Wow." Mai and all the others respected Natsuki even more, if possible.

Shizuru giggled, "I guess she always has protected me from afar."

"Here."

"What's this?" Mai asked as she looked at the envelope Natsuki gave her with interest.

All she received was a rare grin and she opened it up. What she read made her scream.

"Natsuki! Are you serious?"

Natsuki was crushed in a big hug and Mai squealed.

"What is it?" Akane asked and snatched the paper.

Nao looked over her shoulder, and so did Shizuru.

"You bought her a fucking restaurant!"

They had dinner at Mai's new restaurant.

Kazuya sat nervously under the scrutinizing gaze of the blue haired beauty who Akane called her sister.

He had proposed to her, and was nervous to meet the 'Natsuki.' He had met her other three 'sisters' and they were all accepting of him, but this one was fucking scary.

There was a small silence in the room; he noticed the gun on her jeans waist.

Fuck.

"When's the wedding?" she asked.

Akane smiled with her teeth showing, "we haven't decided yet."

When they did have the wedding, it was the dream one that Akane always wanted, given to her by Natsuki. Natsuki even sent them on a honeymoon to Europe and bought them a house.

She liked Kazuya, he was worthy for Akane.

"A helicopter?" Nao's jaw dropped as the self-adopted family of 5 looked in awe at the machine.

"Yes." Natsuki was the first to sit down.

"This is amazing!" Akane gasped once they were all seated and put on strange headphones over their ears.

They all giggled as it lifted, Shizuru grabbed Natsuki's hand on instinct.

They both blushed.

Natsuki cleared her throat and looked away.

Shizuru finally got to fly.

Shizuru was furious. Earlier that day, she had finally gotten close enough to Natsuki to kiss her, but after about a minute, Natsuki had pushed her off in shock and left.

They hadn't spoken since.

Shizuru just did not understand! Natsuki so obviously had feelings for her. She always caught the stares, she could read Natsuki easily.

The dinner table that evening consisted of Mai, Nao, Akane, Shizuru and Natsuki. Shizuru glared at Natsuki who was silently eating her food. The other three all understood that something had happened between them, and were concerned.

Even Nao was afraid that something horrible had happened.

Natsuki could feel Shizuru's eyes on her. She felt horrible. But Shizuru deserved better than her.

"Shizuru, what's wrong?" Mai asked, she had cooked a lovely dinner and it was not going well.

Shizuru never looked away from Natsuki, "ask Natsuki." Her venom was not hidden.

Natsuki tensed, and bent the metal fork she had been using. She was stronger than she looked.

She stood up from the table and turned to go, but Shizuru's voice stopped her.

"Why Natsuki? Why?"

Natsuki stayed facing the other way. What could she say?

She turned to look at Shizuru, only to see Shizuru was also standing, and looking so beautiful like always.

Seeing Natsuki stop, Shizuru moved to her and hugged her while she let tears fall down her cheeks. The other three watched the show intently.

"Shizuru, please let go."

Shizuru only hugged tighter, "not until you give me a reason!" She enforced.

Natsuki pushed her off, shocking them all. Tears started rolling down her cheeks, something that had never been witnessed before.

"Shizuru, don't you see?" She said in pleading voice. Shizuru was speechless, Natsuki looked so torn.

"I..." Natsuki closed her eyes and punched the wall nearby. She made a fucking hole.

"I'm dirty!" she said in explanation, "I have blood stained on my hands, Shizuru."

They all stood slowly as they saw their strong leader falter for the first time.

"I don't deserve you, and you deserve better than me. I'm nothing but a criminal!" She hit the wall again; they would have to repair that later. "I don't deserve to touch you!"

There was a long silence.

"It's wrong for me to be in love with you, you're too pure." Her voice cracked, and she lowered her angry hands, her body relaxing slightly.

That was the first time Natsuki ever explained her feelings, and they all could not believe it. How could they never realize how much Natsuki was hurting on the inside?

Shizuru hugged Natsuki from behind, "can't you see I love you too?" She asked.

Natsuki's eyes opened in shock.

"Natsuki please let me love you."

"But-"

"No!" Shizuru squeezed tighter, "if anyone is undeserving it's me! I am dirty Natsuki, my father, he-"

Natsuki stopped her by wrapping her arms around Shizuru in a protective embrace.

"You are not undeserving of anything Shizuru." She kissed her hair before wiping her tears and blushing when she realised she had never done actions like that before.

"Then please," Shizuru smiled and pleaded, "please."

Natsuki held her close, now she had everything in the world she could ever want.

"I'll always protect you."

PRESENT--

"Nat-suki..." Shizuru whispered from underneath her possessive lover. Natsuki was claiming her and marking her with every touch.

Shizuru gasped when a hand teased her inner thigh. She was kissed passionately as Natsuki lifted her by her arched lower back from the other arm.

She was placed back down after the kiss, and stared into the green pools of her love and wife.

Natsuki looked hypnotized as she once again lowered her head to graze Shizuru's neck.

Oh god. Natsuki always looked the same every time; it was overwhelming that someone could look at her with so much love.

Shizuru's hands gripped her muscled back as Natsuki teased her more down there.

Always gentle, Natsuki never wanted Shizuru to bruise even the slightest. She had issues with roughness, it reminded her of rape, the thing she detested the most in this world.

Well, her love bites never bruised, just enough to be visible and mark territory. They were pleasurable, not painful.

Their shadows danced on the wall behind them, the room lightened by a crackling fire.

"Shiz...uru..." Natsuki mumbled while trailing her neck expertly.

Shizuru's response was a catch in her breath as Natsuki's fingers finally entered her. She pulled Natsuki closer, afraid to let go.

This was the other way Natsuki made her fly, fulfilling her childhood wish.
