Chp. 1: Tell Me Why You Don't Love Me Anymore, Natsuki!

A blue-haired biker was waking up to the sounds of birds chirping outside her bed-room window. She slowly begins to stretch out her lazy muscles and joints while getting up from her nice comfy king-sized bed. There was a loud buzzing noise that recognized as the vibrating of her cell phone. Clothes and books were being tossed around as she searched for the stupid thing. Once it was found she glanced at the caller ID and frowned. The biker didn't want to speak with the person on the other end right because she still had things on her mind. As the vibrating continued she decided that she had no choice but to pick up and answer the phone cause the buzzing noise wouldn't stop.

"Hello" a gruff yet feminine voice replied. She intended to make it sound a little more gentle in tone but it came out in a rather harsh manner instead. Standing there in the middle of room with the phone in hand she let out and exasperated sigh. The only sounds being heard on the other end were sobs echoing through the phone. Emerald eyes stared in the mirror and grimaced at what she saw looking back in her direction. She saw eyes that were sunk in with dark circles around them and she noticed that her noise must've been bleeding while she slept last night.

Zuru she said in a more gentle tone... "I thought I told you that we were over five months ago and that you should not contact me any way shape or form" states the bluenette in a cold tone.

The sobs begin to slow down and then a voice spoke "Why NaNa-Natsuki, d-d-did I do something wrong d-d-d-did I hurt you in some way again, Please just tell me WHY DAMN IT!"

As those words were spoken the biker felt tears flowing down her face but she remained quite not letting anything give her away as she listened to her ex-lover on the other end. Clenching her fist with her free hand she just placed her finger on the end call button and pressed it without saying a single word to the woman on the other end. After she hung up the phone she fell to the floor on her knees crying out to no one in particular "Shizuru! I Love You I'm Sorry, Please Forgive Me." Once she stooped crying Natsuki stood up and went to take a shower because she had a very important appointment that she had to keep no matter what.

She exited the bathroom and began to put on her clothes with only one person running through her mind. The image running through her mind was of beautiful red eyes staring at her intense emeralds as they were eating a nice dinner with lots of teasing and flirting amongst the two of them. A loud sigh was the only thing heard in the quietness of the bedroom. Leaving her room and heading to the kitchen of her small apartment the young woman put some bread in the toaster and turned on the coffee maker for her morning breakfast. There was plenty of time for her to eat fore the clock only read 9:45 am and she had to be at her appointment at 10:55. It wouldn't take her that long to get to where she needed to be because it was only about a 25 minute drive from her place.

Suddenly there was a knock at her door and she knew exactly who it was so she walked over to the door and let her busty friend in.

Natsuki-chan how are you feeling today, asked a busty orange haired young woman as she entered the apartment of her dear friend.

The only answer she received was a grunt which let her know the answer as just ok. After she entered she placed her shoes on the shoe rack and hung her coat up as well. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside the wind was up making it chilly out as well. Mai was the busty woman's name and she was the one helping Natsuki through her current situation and it was a very hard task to fulfill. Upon inspecting her friend closely Mai could only gasp and place a hand to her mouth. She noticed how the girls eyes were sunk in and the horrible darkening around her eyes too. What she saw made her want to cry but she knew that she had to be strong for her dear friend cause she needed the support. In the back of her mind she couldn't understand why Natsuki broke up with Shizuru because in her heart she felt that Natsuki-chan needed her more than anyone else. Being one to not push questions upon her very ill friend she shrugged her thoughts off. Natsuki on the other hand had made her way back into the kitchen and started eating her food.

Mai I'm not going to tell her and neither are you, she said with a stern gaze. She knew exactly what-the-hell the busty girl was thinking and she didn't want to have this conversation again.

Mai just looked back at her and nodded her response before taking a seat in front of the TV on the leather sofa. Once the blue-haired biker was done with her breakfast they exited her apartment and headed towards Mai's yellow Jeep Durango and pulled out onto the main highway heading to building that has been all to familiar for the both them. It didn't take them long to get to their final destination which was a gray building with blue trimmings around the glass windows. The building was about three stories tall and consisted of offices that ranged from business to personnel but the majority of the rooms were doctor's offices. She and her red haired friend Mai have become very accustomed with the inside of said building because they make a trip to this place at two to three times a week now. When they first learned about Natsuki being sick they were coming here at three times a month but since the disease has progressed she has to come more often.

'Hello Kuga-san, Tokiha-san' said a brown haired woman behind a desk at the entrance of the building once they entered inside.

'Good day to you Alexi' replied one Tokiha Mai.

"Yeah, How's it going Alexi?" and this was said by our emerald-eyed biker Kuga Natsuki who had taken a seat at the nearby couch across from the receptionist's desk.

Alexi turns to the direction of Natsuki and tells her that she will be next in line to see Dr. Keiri Yanagi once she is through with the patient already in her office. She receives a nod from the biker as the all to familiar sign of ok I gotcha. Mai goes over to the couch and sits beside her friend as leans in closer to her she asks her "Natsuki don't you think that Shizuru should know be-be-before it's to late."

"No! Mai I already told you that she can't know that I'm dying" says a weak raven haired rebel to her busty friend.

"Nat-chan, I just don't see why you are pushing her away like this by breaking her heart into a million pieces in the process" she asks in a gentle tone.

'Mai, she should live a happy life not one with misery of seeing the person she loves dying tight in front of her' says the biker.

"Shizuru-san loves you with all her heart and she would want to be with you as much as possible If she knew that you were going to leave her for good Nat-chan." Please I am begging you to let her know what is happening before it is to late she added.

Shaking her head no Natsuki just stares up at the ceiling in the office as she begins to remember the good times as well as the bad times that she has shared with her love one Shizuru Fujino and a single tear falls from her left eye as she whispers to no one in particular "I love Shiz always and forever and please forgive me for what I am doing but never hate me love cause I am doing this for your happiness" and once she finishes this statement her tears begin to flood as she is being held in her best friends arms waiting to find out how much longer she has to live.
