(Well, I decided to reupload Chapter 1 with some minor corrections. I realized I used the Japanese way of saying someone's name (last name first) with Natsuru and Sakura only to use the western style with Mikoto, Akane and Shizuku. This was unintentional on my part, and I've added this with Chapter 5, so it's all one big update. I had an issue getting the files to uplaod to fanfiction, but I didn't sleep last night so I had nothing to do but type, so that's what I did :)
What did I do to deserve this?
My name is Seno Natsuru, and I'm a blue Kampfer whose power is a zauber based in fire. I'm a 2nd hear high school student at Seitetsu Gakuin Private School. I was just a normal boy, until one day I woke up with a blue bracelet on my wrist and a talking stuffed doll named Disemboweled Tiger telling me that I'd become a Kampfer, a person born to fight with Kampfers with bracelets that are different colors. After that I made a lot of friends. I made friends with Mishima Akane, and met a girl named Sango Shizuku who at first was my enemy. Even my childhood friend Kondo Mikoto became swept up in becoming a Kampfer.
Then there's Sakura Kaede, she's the girl that I was in love with, but after becoming a Kampfer I learned that Sakura is one of the masterminds behind the entire conflict, and she even commands 4 white Kampfers that are her personal servants and enforcers.
"Natsuru! Kiss me!" Mikoto demands, rubbing her body against the front of me.
"Natsuru…" Shizuku erotically whispers, looking at me with a face that screams for attention as she presses her breasts against my left arm.
"Kiss me first!" Akane shouts, rubbing at my other arm.
I look around at the three of them; they're all out of their Kampfer forms and looking up at me with expectation in their eyes.
"Uh, the white Kampfers are getting away!" I try to change the subject.
"We care more about kisses then about them." Shizuku says simply.
"I need to go!" I quickly bolt, taking my only alley for escape, stepping backward away from the trio. "I'm going home!"
I run for the door, the three of them hot on my heels.
"Natsuru! Wait!" They all call in unison.
Nearly an hour later I'm home, breathless and exhausted, but I'm alone.
Losing them took forever…
It's late, and fortunately I live alone, so I don't have my parents worrying about me coming home at such a late hour.
Grabbing the mail from the day, I walk up the steps toward my front door. Using my key I open the door and go inside, making sure to throw the dead bolt behind me.
Not like it really matters if I lose them on the way home, they ALL know where I live…
Sighing heavily I drop my school bag near the door and start up the steps, heading for my door. The house is refreshingly quiet as I open my door and turn on my light, seeing the Disemboweled Tiger doll sitting on my desk.
"Ah, Natsuru-san. You must've been busy with those three if you're just now getting home."
"Shut up you!" I growl, reaching out and grabbing the doll, I fling into my trash can and sink it.
With an exhausted sigh I fall on my bed, flopping on it with my arms out, my legs splayed.
"Man, today was so tiring…"
Closing my eyes, I'm asleep in a second.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Uhh…." I moan tiredly.
Rolling over, I reach out with my hand, feeling for the alarm clock on my desk, flapping my hand around the desk, searching for the button that will stop the incessant beeping.
After 20 seconds I give up, opening my eyes I look to find the clock and hit the button, turning off the alarm. I yawn tiredly, stretching my arms and legs.
"Wake up Natsuru!" Disemboweled Tiger's voice enters my ears.
I glare in the direction of the voice, seeing the plushie now sitting on my desk near the clock.
"Shut up…" I mutter dryly.
Pushing thoughts about the plushie and how it managed to get out of my trash can aside, I sit up and yawn.
I feel a lot better, a good night's sleep and a day off to recover from all that is exactly what I needed…
Fortunately, today is Sunday, which means no school. Throwing off my covers I get out of bed, stretching again I yawn, shaking off the sleep.
"I should shower, but I really want to eat something…"
Leaving my room I walk downstairs, scooping up my bag I drop it on the dining room table on my way into the kitchen.
My stomach growls, a testament to my hunger. Living alone I just drop some slices of bread into the toaster.
Buttered toast isn't that bad. What I really need to do is sort my life out. After what happened last night…
My life, both as a human and as a Kampfer has taken a major change in the last 48 hours. I confirmed once and for that Sakura Kaede is in fact somehow manipulating the Kampfer conflict between red and blue, and even has command of her own group of white Kampfers. She desires my female form, and absolutely despises my male one. Akane, Mikoto and Shizuku all are in love with me, and Sakura attempted to control my mind and body for her own benefit…
The toast pops out of the toaster, and I quickly get some butter from the fridge, buttering the toast before I return the butter to the fridge, setting the 4 slices of toast down on a plate on the table. Taking a seat at the table, I grab a slice of toast and start eating, absent mindedly chewing at the bread while I try to sort out my thoughts.
Sakura is a moderator, or at least someone who can choose and control Kampfers. She transformed me against my will, and tried to turn me against Shizuku, Akane and Mikoto. She was going to make me kill them, and why? Because we refused to fight in a proxy war that none of us ever asked to be a part of?
I can't help but scowl at the thought with the piece of toast hanging from my mouth, that the girl I once thought was as pure and clean as an angel could possibly do something like that.
But when push came to shove, she called me a disgusting man and slapped me, and if not for Shizuku and the others, I doubt I'd still be alive. I have to put Sakura behind me, Shizuku, Akane and Mikoto all have their good points, but could I have a serious relationship with any of them? If I'm dating one of them we'll likely be together a lot, which will make it that much harder for Sakura to try and trick me again.
But which of them should I go out with? All three of them want to be my girlfriend, that's painfully obvious after last night. But I can't say that any of them are perfect for me, but they all want to be my girlfriend…
Well first there's Mishima Akane, when she isn't a Kampfer she isn't so bad. Though she always seems to have her mind in the gutter at the most inappropriate times. Plus when she changes into a Kampfer she's violent, vulgar, and has a split second temper. The one thing she has over the others is that she and I are both blue Kampfers, so if we're somehow made to fight in the conflict and the blue side wins, we won't be separated…
Then there's Sango Shizuku. She was the first red Kampfer I fought who kidnapped Sakura to get to me and made me attend school as a girl. Even after the truce we agreed to she always seemed to be teasing me and making fun of me. Then she asked me out and we went out on that date…which wasn't that bad thinking about it. Plus she holds onto that cell phone strap I bought for her and takes good care of it. She doesn't flaunt her looks, and of the three she could probably best control her fan club when they learn that we're dating.
Then there's Kondo Mikoto. I've known her since we were 5 and have lived next to one another for over a decade. Every time I see her I can't help but think of the little girl next door I used to play with. I'm an only kid, so it was like having a sister, and then she went away with her folks and grew up, and even now whenever I see her I can't help but think of her as a little sister. Plus she loves curry way too much, I spilled some at Sakura's apartment and she threw me into a wall…
So, which one could I pursue a relationship with? They all have their own good points and bad points. Mikoto is more like a sister to me than anything and Akane can be really hard to get along with when she changes into her Kampfer form, especially if the other 2 continue to be around me after I start dating her, which is bound to happen, so that really leaves Mikoto and Shizuku.
Mikoto is nice, but I'm sure I'll get sick of curry after 2 weeks, and then there's the fact that whenever I see her I think of the little girl that I used to play with when we were kids. As much as I hate to admit it, Shizuku is really the only choice that could possibly work. Since we're not fighting this proxy war anymore, then it doesn't matter if we're pitted against one another in red versus blue…
Going to grab another piece of toast, my hand meets the plate, and I look down to see the plate empty.
Damn, so lost in thought I ate all four pieces of toast…
I get up, opening my bag, getting out my homework from Saturday. Opening my books, I do my homework as quickly as I can, wanting to get it out of the way before I do anything about my relationship issues. I do my homework quickly, killing a half an hour before I stand, putting my books back in my bag and dropping my bag near the door. I walk up the steps, going into the bathroom I get undressed, throwing my slept in clothes into the hamper before I step into the shower. Turning the water on I take a hot shower, getting ready for the day…
Halfway through the shower…
"NATSURU!" Mikoto's happy voice shouts into the bathroom at the same time the bathroom door comes open.
"Mikoto?" I ask curiously.
I pull the edge of the shower curtain back a hair, and peeking out I see Mikoto in a pair of shorts and a white sleeveless blouse standing in the open doorway.
What is she doing here? I locked the doors and windows!
"Mikoto! What're you doing here?" I demand from her as I quickly close the curtain.
"Lock-picking is an essential skill for an archaeologist." She says matter of factly. "Since you're in the shower I'll wash your back for you!"
Peeking out again I see her pull off her shirt throwing it aside, revealing her bra and her stomach. Her hands undo the clasp of her shorts, pushing them down to her ankles.
"Mikoto you don't have to do that!" I tell her.
"It's okay Natsuru. I don't mind."
"But I do!" I tell her. "I'm naked in here!"
"So?"
"'So' I don't want that kind of relationship with you!" I tell her. "I don't need you to wash my back and I don't want you to. You're my friend Mikoto. I don't want to lose that!"
For a moment the only sound is the shower running, the warm water splashing against my body. Slowly, hesitantly I pull the curtain back and peek, and I see her standing in the same spot near the door, a shocked expression on her face.
"Natsuru…you mean that?"
I pull head back, nodding to myself.
"Yes Mikoto, I do." I tell her with absolute seriousness in my voice.
"You really just see me as a friend?" She asks, and I nod to myself again.
"Yes Mikoto, I only see you as a friend, and nothing else. I'm sorry if that hurts you."
I peek out again, and I see her looking down at the floor.
"Mikoto?" I hesitantly ask.
"I understand Natsuru..." She says in acceptance.
She picks up her clothes, getting dressed in resignation.
"If you want to wait, I'll be out of the shower in a bit."
"No…that's okay, I'll go home, see you at school tomorrow."
Now dressed she leaves the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
"Mikoto!" I call out, but it's too little too late, she's already gone.
The shower still spraying down on me, I sigh heavily.
Well, she probably hates your guts now. I wonder how Akane is going to react when you tell her that you don't want anything more than friendship with her. She'll probably transform into a Kampfer on the spot and start shooting…
Shaking my head I shut off the shower and get out, toweling myself off and blow drying my hair before I carefully peek out of the bathroom and check the hall. I move from the bathroom to my room, carefully peeking into my bedroom to make sure Mikoto is really gone before I walk inside.
I get dressed, putting on a pair of jeans and a light blue shirt before I comb my hair. Once I look presentable I leaving my room and head downstairs. Picking up the phone I start dialing.
I may as well call Shizuku and tell her or at least ask to talk to her. I don't know how she's going to react to it, but I think it'll be better to have her be my girlfriend when I tell Akane, that way she can hopefully protect me if it hits the fan…
The phone rings 3 times, and then the ringing stops.
"Sango residence, Shizuku speaking." Shizuku answers in her normal calm lilt.
"Uh, it's Seno Natsuru." I tell her.
"Natsuru? What's up? I'm happy that you called me…"
"Are you free? There's something I'd like to talk to you about face to face."
There's a momentary pause from her.
"Sure, would you like me to come over?"
"Uh, no, I'll come over there." I quickly decide. "If that's okay?"
"Sure! Are you leaving right away?"
"Yeah, I'll be over there in a bit."
"All right, see you when you get here." She says before hanging up the phone.
Setting the phone back on the cradle, I can't help but wonder how Shizuku is going to react to what I have to say…
15 minutes later I'm at the door to Shizuku Sango's house. Reaching out I ring the doorbell. For a moment there's silence, and then the door opens, and Shizuku stands there wearing a purple blouse and a mini skirt with high black stockings. Her hair is down, and she smiles at seeing me.
"Would you like to come in?" She asks, stepping aside and motioning for me to come in.
"Thank you." I speak before I walk into her house, and Shizuku closes the door behind me.
Looking around after slipping off my shoes I see I'm in a hallway with sky blue walls, steps leading up going to the second floor on my left. An archway to the right leads to what looks like a living room, a second archway farther down the hall on the right.
"Would you like something to drink, or maybe some snacks?" She asks, and I shake my head no.
She leads me into the living room of the home, the room dominated by a big screen TV and a rather large L shaped sofa. Against the sky blue walls are wooden book shelves filled with books. The sofa is black, and the big screen TV is against the wall on the right as I enter the square shaped room. Through an archway opposite the TV I can see what looks like a modern dining room. In front of the sofa is a coffee table and Shizuku sits down on the sofa, patting the spot to her immediate right.
"You said you wanted to talk?" She asks as I sit down next to her on her right.
"Yeah…" I answer hesitantly, not knowing how to say what I want to say.
I feel her hands dance around my arm, her arms looping around my left arm. A moment later I feel something soft press against my left arm while she looks up at me with curiosity in her gaze.
Those are her…
Looking down I confirmed that it is in fact her bosom pressed against my arm, a smile on her face.
"Well?" She asks curiously. "Am I making you uncomfortable?" She asks with that smile.
Just say it! Tell her you want her to be your girlfriend!
"I've thought about it a lot, and I've decided Shizuku I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend!" I blurt it out, and the smile disappears, replaced by an expression of shocked disbelief.
Looking at her, I can't help but feel that I made a mistake, and I open my mouth to apologize, to try and smooth things over when she looks down, an air of embarrassment forming around her.
"Do you mean that Natsuru?" She asks in disbelief.
"Yeah, I do." I answer her. "I want to be with you, Shizuku."
"Natsuru…" She whispers, and I open my mouth to say something when I suddenly feel her lips press against mine, her arms wrapping around my shoulders.
At first I'm surprised by it, and I can feel her tongue snake into my mouth, and before long my tongue joins hers, dancing with hers in the kiss, and a moment later she pulls back, an uncharacteristic blush on her face.
"Natsuru, I'm so happy…" She says, putting her head against my chest.
I can feel my heart beating like a jackhammer, and without even realizing it I put my arms around her shoulders, and she snuggles closer to me, enjoying being close to me.
Being this close to her, I can smell her, a clean ginger smell.
"You smell nice…" I whisper, feeling so relaxed suddenly.
She's holding me so warmly, so lovingly. To think that this is the student council president that used to look at me with ice in her gaze, but so much has changed…
"What about Kaede?" Shizuku asks, and I shake my head.
"I'm done with Sakura-san." I tell her with resolution in my voice. "She despises me, of that I'm positive."
She looks up at me with happiness in her eyes.
"I'm very happy to hear that." She says, putting her head back against my chest. "I thought that you might choose to become a girl forever to get her…"
I shake my head slowly.
"The female me isn't me Shizuku, this is the real me, nothing will change that."
She looks up at me again, and the next thing I know I'm tackled to the sofa, Shizuku suddenly on top of me, her lips meeting mine again. Her hands drift down my body, and I feel her hand slip beneath my shirt, touching my bare chest beneath as we continue to kiss. My own hands drift down her sides, and she breaks the kiss, looking down at me with longing in her eyes.
"Natsuru, do you want to touch me?" She asks in a provocative tone.
My hands just above her waist, I don't know what to say to that when she pulls her own hands from beneath my shirt, she unbuttons the light purple blouse, letting it open to reveal she's wearing a lacy dark blue bra. She shucks the blouse, throwing it aside.
My virgin eyes bulge, and another part of me bulges at the sight of her breasts. She giggles lightly, taking my hands in hers.
"I can feel something hard pressing against my panties Natsuru…" She says with a smile as she guides my hands to her chest, gently putting my hands on her breasts.
So soft…
I can't help but grope her, the bra feeling silky beneath my fingers as I fondle her.
"Ah…" She lets out a low moan, and she looks down at me with her cheeks flushed red.
I stop then, not knowing whether or not she's enjoying what I'm doing or hating it.
"Shizuku…" I trail, my hands still on her chest.
"You're the only person I'll let touch me like this…" She says, and I'm tongue tied as to what to say to her. "So, please continue…"
She reaches behind her, and I hear the sound of a clasp being undone, and from beneath my fingers she slips the bra off, and suddenly there's nothing between my hands and her breasts.
Shizuku…
With what little I know, I continue to touch her. I can feel her nipples beneath my hands, and she begins to let out little moans as I caress her.
"Natsuru…ah…" She whispers, her face flushing.
Being a second year high school student I've learned a lot just by being around other guys my age, and I know I can do something else to make her feel even better…
Pulling my left hand away, I sit up, bringing my lips to the exposed breast, gently licking and sucking on her nipple.
"Natsuru…That's…oh!" She moans, and I keep going, making sure to change up what I'm doing, both with my hand and my mouth using her moans to see what she likes and what she doesn't.
"Natsuru…I…"
She begins to moan more and more, her voice no longer forming words, and I can almost feel the pleasure building inside of her. I keep doing what I'm doing, increasing the speed of my tongue against her nipple, my right hand fondling her as she arches her back forward, pushing her chest out toward me.
"Natsuru, I'm…I'm…AHHH!"
Her body arches, and I can see her entire body tense for a split second, and then she breathes, her eyelids fluttering open and closed as she looks up at the ceiling, her back straightening as she looks down at me.
Did she just?
Slowly pulling my lips from her breast, I look up at her questioningly.
"Shizuku…?"
She breathes heavily, looking down at me with a look pleasure on her face and in her eyes.
"Natsuru…" She whispers.
I can feel a slight dampness against my crotch, and she leans down, kissing my greedily as she lies topless on top of me. We make out for a minute, and I quickly learn how to kiss her, and when she pulls back she has a look of happiness in her eyes.
"Natsuru…I love you…" She says, her hair hanging down around us.
"I love you too Shizuku…" I answer without thinking, the words just seeming to come out without any thought.
"Natsuru, I'm so happy…" She says with tears in her eyes.
I can feel her tears fall, splattering gently on my cheeks. Without thinking I wrap her in my arms, holding her lovingly.
"Natsuru…I…" She whispers, her voice breaking.
"It's all right." I finally say in a soothing voice, holding her as gently as I can. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
"I don't want this to end…" She whispers.
"We can stay like this as long as you want." I assure her, stroking her dark hair.
She smiles at me, and I can see the resignation in her gaze.
"I'd like that, but I really should get up…"
Why?
I release her from my arms; looking up at her I try to look understanding.
"Go ahead." I tell her, trying to keep the disappointment out of my voice, but a little of it shows.
She smiles, getting off of me slowly.
"Wait here will you?" She asks pensively, and I nod.
"Sure." I answer, swinging my legs around and sitting up.
She bends down, retrieving her discarded clothing.
"I'll be right back." She says.
She walks out of the living room, and I hear her footsteps against the steps receding as she goes upstairs.
"Crap…" I mutter, looking down at the floor.
I must've disappointed her or done something wrong. Everything seemed like it was going so well, it looked and sounded like she was enjoying what I was doing, and she didn't tell me to stop, so how did I mess up?
I can't not think about it, going over the entire experience in my mind, trying to figure out where I made a mistake, what I did wrong. I go over it again and again, trying to figure out what I did wrong when her voice pulls me from my thoughts.
"Natsuru?" I hear Shizuku speak aloud, and I look around, trying to locate her, but I'm alone in the living room.
"Shizuku?" I ask aloud.
"Could you come up here a minute?"
I swallow the saliva in my mouth.
"Uh yeah, sure, just a sec." I call out.
I get up off the sofa, carefully moving around the sofa and to the steps. I look up to see the top of steps empty, and a million questions begin to spin around my mind as I start up the steps.
Is she going to do something or is she bringing me up here to show me her room or…
At the top of the steps is a hand rail, and there is a single hallway that bisects the home. I stop at the entrance to this hallway, seeing 4 doors in the sky blue walls in front of me, 2 on each side of the hall, the one on the 2nd one on the right hanging open.
I swallow the saliva in my throat, feeling of curiosity and anticipation beginning to build in my system.
"Shizuku?" I call out hesitantly, and her voice comes from the open doorway.
"In here." She calls back, and I move to the door, stopping at the frame.
I take a deep breath, blowing it out I try to calm myself down.
Whatever it is face it like a man and remember that you've chosen her, don't do anything to hurt her…
With that in mind I step around the corner, and at first I can't believe what I'm seeing. Shizuku stands in the middle of a bedroom, a twin size bed, a desk and a chair, and even a trunk with stuffed animals on top of it, a pair of white doors that no doubt open to a closet Sitting on a nail in the wall to the left of the bed I see the snail cell phone strap I bought her on our date hanging there.
Shizuku stands in the middle of it all, naked save for her red Kampfer bracelet.
"Shizuku…" I mutter in disbelief, taking in her naked form.
Her skin is flawless, her curves all in the right places, her pubic hair neatly trimmed. I look her in the face, and she blushes heavily, turning her head away in embarrassment.
"Natsuru…I…" She begins, her voice filled with embarrassment.
Does she want to have sex with me? So soon?
I step into the room, wrapping my arms around her.
"Natsuru…" She trails with a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Shizuku, you're beautiful, and I like you, but isn't this a little fast?" I whisper.
"You don't want to…?"
I shake my head no.
"I do! I really do, but I don't want to do something I'm going to regret later. We're both still in school, and I don't have any protection. I don't want you to have to choose whether or not to have a baby. I love you Shizuku, but I think we should just wait a bit, okay?"
She nods, and she puts her head against my chest.
"Thank you though." I whisper. "You've a very beautiful woman."
"Thank you Natsuru…" She trails, wrapping her arms around me.
For a moment I just hold her, feeling her bare chest through my shirt, and I slowly step back, careful to avoid her feet.
"You should get dressed, or you'll get sick." I say, and she nods. "Want me to turn around?"
She shakes her head no.
"You don't have to, though I do have a favor to ask you…"
"What is it?"
"Would you spend the night here with me tonight? We can go to school together tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, sure. I think I'd like that. I'll have to go back to my house to get some things though."
She smiles.
"Thank you Natsuru."
20 minutes later Shizuku is dressed again in the same light purple blouse and mini skirt and stockings. She picks the strap from the nail, gingerly wrapping it around her wrist until it hangs there like a bracelet.
"If I'm gonna spend the night then I need to go back to my house to get my uniform and my books. You want to come with me?"
She nods, smiling happily at me.
"I'd like that."
Together the two of us walk down the steps, me behind her and she stops at the door. We both slip our shoes on and I open the door and step out, Shizuku behind me. I hear the snick on the bolt locking, and I look at her as she drops the keys into a small pursue she picked up from her room.
"Where are your parents?" I ask.
"They're both gone a lot for my father's work." She says, grabbing hold of my left arm. "Shall we go?"
I try to force myself not to blush at the display of affection, nodding briskly.
"Yeah, let's go."
During the 15 minute walk from her house to mine she seems happy. We don't talk much, and whenever I look down at her she smiles at me, snuggling up against my arm.
I never thought she could act like this…
I lead her to my front door, and I stop there, reaching into my right hip pocket I fish out my keys.
"You said Kondo-san lives next door to you, didn't you?" She asks, and I nod.
"Yeah, she does." I answer, opening the door.
"Have you told her about your choice?" She asks.
Since the doorway isn't wide enough for both of us to enter side by side, she releases my arm and I walk in first with her close behind. I close the door behind me, shaking my head no as she slips off her shoes.
"I told her I just wanted to be friends with her, that I couldn't like her the same way I like you." I explain for Shizuku, who nods, seeming satisfied.
"What about Mishima-san?"
I shake my head no.
"I haven't told her anything yet…"
A smile graces her lips.
"I think it would be wise if you had me with you when you tell her about us." She advises, and I nod my head in agreement.
"Come on upstairs, I just gotta grab some clothes and stuff."
"All right." She answers, and I walk up the steps toward my room, with Shizuku close behind.
I go up to the steps to my room, and once inside I head to the closet, grabbing an overnight bag there and a clean uniform for Seitetsu, gently placing the folded clothes in the bag.
"So, this is a boy's room…" Shizuku comments.
I look behind me to see her sitting on my bed, looking around at my simple room.
"Oh, so you brought that red Kampfer here?" Disemboweled Tiger comments from my desk.
I scowl at the tiger plushie.
"Her name is Shizuku." I snap at the tiger.
Shizuku smiles at that, watching with an amused expression on her face. I sigh lightly, standing up and walking to the door.
"I'm gonna grab my toothbrush, do I need to bring shampoo or soap?"
She shakes her head no.
"I've got plenty of those things." Shizuku answers me.
"Cool."
I quickly duck into the bathroom, grabbing my toothbrush and walking back to my bedroom. Shizuku still sits on my bed as I put my toothbrush into the overnight bag, zipping the bag up before.
"NAT-SU-RU!" An angry roar comes from downstairs.
I look at Shizuku, who looks back at with recognition in her eyes.
Akane…
The red haired Kampfer bursts into my room, gun in hand.
"NAT-SU-RU!" She roars again, leveling the M1911 at my head.
"Akane! Calm down!" I yelp in fear.
"Calm down? Calm down!?" She demands, finger on the trigger. "You choose Madam President over me and don't even bother to tell me and you tell me to CALM DOWN?!"
"How do you know about Natsuru and me?" Shizuku asks, and I spin my head in her direction to see she's transformed, her daggers in hand.
"Mikoto told me!" Akane growls, turning her pistol to Shizuku.
"Akane stop this!" I demand, standing up straight.
She turns the gun back to me, glaring at me in anger.
"How could you choose that bitch over me!?" Akane demands. "We're supposed to be partners aren't we!?"
"Akane…"
BANG! She fires, and I barely avoid the bullet.
"Akane, stop!" I plead.
BANG! BANG! BANG! She fires again and again, and each time the bullet sails within inches of me. My last dodge has me lying on the floor, and Akane points the pistol right at my forehead.
"NATSURU YOU ASSHOLE!" She roars in rage.
Twin blades appear out of nowhere, pressing lightly against Akane's neck.
"Keep this up and I'll have to take your head." Shizuku says coldly.
"Geh…" Akane growls in contempt.
She slowly lowers the pistol, and I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Now's your chance to explain your feelings Natsuru." Shizuku reminds me, and I nod.
Looking at Akane in her Kampfer form, Shizuku's daggers still at her throat, I can't help but feel bad for what I'm about to say.
"Akane, I'm sorry but I don't think I can have a romantic relationship with you." I explain as calmly as I can. "If you want we can still be friends, but I'll understand if you don't want to speak to me anymore."
Akane's body glows and she transforms back into her normal form. Shizuku finally lowers her daggers, and I can see the sadness in Akane's bespectacled gaze.
"Natsuru…" She trails.
She runs out, going past Shizuku and down the stairs, running out of the door and slamming it behind her.
I look to Shizuku, who changes back into her normal form, looking at me with questioning in her eyes.
"Are you going to chase her?"
I shake my head no.
"She has every right to be angry at me." I admit. "I just rejected her feelings, I'd be angry too."
I was angry, still am…
Shizuku walks toward me, putting her hands on my shoulders she looks at me with happiness in her eyes.
"It'll be all right. I'm sure she'll forgive you for letting her down easily, and if I know how she feels she won't give up on you just because you've finally chosen me."
"I don't know…" I mutter, shaking my head. "I'll have to call my parents and get the insurance company involved to fix the damage she just caused…"
"It'll be all right." Shizuku assures me, giving me a kiss on my lips.
Why is it when she does that I just want to agree with her?
