A/N: I've started a new story, and of course it is ShizNat, my current obsession. I don't exactly know where I'm going with this, so just bare with me, okay? And I apologize in advance for any OOCness as I've never done a fic on these characters. Furthermore, I'm trying my hardest to get them in character.

Disclaimer: I do not own these characters; they rightfully belong to Sunrise.

Summary- Natsuki is new to Garderobe, striving to be the best Otome there is. However, it won't help having gotten in trouble on the first few days and being signed an Onee-sama. Who better than Shizuru Viola to teach her the right way? Or maybe things having nothing to do with Garderobe at all...

Revised Chapter 1: Onee-sama

Her first few days here and she had already gotten in trouble.

She didn't want to be here. She was positive the constant yelling of Haruka Suzushiro wouldn't end until the girl had made her point across for the tenth time, embedding it into her head. It was like a nail being hammered into her head. Of all people, why did this girl have to be one of the top three?

Natsuki's eyes avoided constant with Haruka's, the second top student at Garderobe, and met with her partner in crime's, Mai Tokiha, who just smiled wearily and nodded at everything told. It's all her fault, Natsuki thought, glaring defiantly.

"Disturbing the peace at our school, fighting each other without permission of the Gakuenchou, and influencing the other girls as well? It's unacceptable! Do you know what you've done?" Haruka droned on, listing out all the bad outcomes had they not been the first to set the pair, Natsuki and Mai, apart from ripping each other to shreds.

Natsuki started to protest, "It wasn't my fault though! That girl," she pointed to Mai, "it's all her doing!"

"Was not," the other hissed.

Once more, another argument formed and the two troublemakers began to pull at their hair, trying to cause the other pain and have them beg for mercy at their knees. Nao Zhang, the third top student, pushed them away and restrained Natsuki as Haruka did Mai.

"Ara? What's all the ruckus?" Just then Shizuru Viola, who was admired for her beauty and skill by the underclassmen and upper, happened to walk in when passing by the room. The questioning gaze lingered on the scene at hand and her eyebrows rose slightly. "Am I interrupting something?"

Haruka mumbled under breath something about "bubuzuke woman" being last again for another meeting. "The fact that we're disciplining those that don't follow the rules of Garderobe and we need your decision on what to do with them as punishment!"

The girl gave a smile and tilted her head to the side slightly. "And just what did they do to receive the punishment?"

"Fight with each other and influence the other girls to do so," she stated like it was the most obvious thing. "They disturbed the peace-"

"And have you not brought it back by stopping the fight?"

"Well, yes, but-" Again, being cut off by Shizuru.

"Then I don't see any more of a problem as it is solved."

Nao, who had long ago let go of Natsuki, knew better than to do as Haruka did. Verbally battle the infamous Shizuru as she would only lose. She watched as the once held captive blue-haired girl try to sneak out of the room quietly and did nothing about it. Mai was still in Haruka's grip and being swung around at she tried emphasizing how much of a big deal it was.

Natsuki could only snicker at the sight. Served her right, she thought before laying a hand on the handle of her escape route. Unfortunately for her, she hadn't noticed the voices stopping and silence befalling the room. An arm sneaked to wrap around her waist, a hand atop hers, and a Kyoto accented voice floating in her ears caught her off guard.

"Going somewhere? Kuga-san is not permitted to leave yet as I am not done speaking, or do I bore you?"

Natsuki could feel her cheeks redden, green eyes widening in surprise. How could she have not known this girl could come up behind her so easily? Quickly separating herself and gaining distance, the door now further from her reach, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.

Shizuru giggled at the girl's futile attempt to talk and went back to the matter of business she had been brought into. "Suzushiro-san, if you intend on them having a punishment at all costs, we can always assign them an Onee-sama to teach them right."

"So be it! But I get to choose who gets who! Let's see, I'll give Kuga a worst nightmare, so I'll have her. Besides, she's got guts! To be an Otome, you have to have guts!" Haruka yelled.

The Kyoto girl sighed. "That won't be necessary. I will be the one to take her and properly teach her. You already have Kikukawa-san."

"What about me? Who will I be with?" Mai asked, not wanting it to be any of the three top students and instead an easy-going person.

Crimson eyes glanced at the red-head lounging on the chair staring out the window uninterested. Feeling a set of eyes on her, she turned to face Shizuru, having only half-listened to the conversation going on.

"What? Me! Why?"

"Because you don't have one and you'd be good as a candidate. You could always have her do everything you asked," she prompted. "It's settled. These are the arrangements. Tokiha-san, Kuga-san, do well to oblige to them or further consequences will be worse."

Nao, Haruka, Mai, and Natsuki all inwardly cursed at the ever-smiling girl in front of them.

----------------------------

There, Natsuki sat with her arms crossed, staring at calm girl sipping her tea. To say she was having fun would be the complete and total opposite of what she was doing. Sitting and watching. It was bad enough that her so-called punishment involved having an Onee-sama. Which, of course, would mean she would have to do whatever the girl said, but who said she couldn't object to it?

"Is there something on my face or do you just like staring at me?"

Her face flared instantly; that was twice today this girl was able to do that. "N-no!" She sputtered.

Natsuki shifted in her seat uncomfortably. It felt a little awkward now. Her gaze settled on the carpet beneath her. Just how much longer did she need to stay here?

"Do you wish to leave?" Shizuru asked, practically reading the other girl's mind.

"Yes."

"Then you may do so."

With that, Natsuki nodded, thankful to finally leave the room after a couple hours. Now she was able to do what she had planned and that was riding her bike in the city, she needed her daily dosage of speed and carelessness; maybe a race with someone here or there.

Shizuru smiled softly, speaking out loud to no one but herself. "That Kuga-san is cute, maybe more so than anyone I've met." A glint sparkled in her eyes; ideas forming through her mind on what she could use being an Onee-sama to Natsuki as an advantage.

Perfect.

A/N: It's short, I know. But I'm just getting started. I promise the next chapter will be longer! Please review and tell me what you think/tell me what I can do if the characters aren't themselves!

Next Chapter- Shizuru teaches Natsuki how to respectfully act and speak when with her "master". How come this includes bathing with Shizuru too? Poor Natsuki... Or should I say lucky?
