"Ikezu", a word with many meanings. "Ikezu" the word was repeated over in the dawn of winter. Her lips tainted blue as she was engulfed in winter's grasp. Fingers ran over her naginata expertly as she gazed over at the night sky. "Kiyohime" Was the only word that escaped her lips.

"Ah! Mikoto! Stop hogging all the mayonnaise!" Natsuki shrieked trying to at least get a spoonful of her most desired snack. "Natsuki! But I love mayonnaise! I also love Mai's ramen yes yes!" Mikoto choked with her cheeks full of ramen and mayo. Mai could only help but smile as she flipped a frying egg in a frying pan. "Some great cook she is" Natsuki cringed as she watched Mikoto finished the last of her one and only love.

"Hey Mai is a great cook!" Mikoto growled leaping up; she used her chopsticks as if swords drawn for battle. "Now, now you two you're acting like children" Mai said turning off the stove and sitting down with her companions. "Hey Mai control your beast if you ever want her to live" Natsuki said giving a harsh glare.

"Hey!" both Mai and Mikoto sang in unison except you could hear Mikoto's voice crackle in the process. Natsuki silently smiled as she reached over and stole Mikoto's ramen and ate it right in front of her eyes. Mai giggled as she watched her little friend's eyes weld with tears and cry out in a whimper. "Stop!" was shouted as a glass door was opened.

"M...Mikoto!?" Mai acknowledged. Mikoto smelled the intruder in the air. "Miroku!" Mikoto yelled taking precaution towards this action. Her sword flew across the room as Natsuki's guns appeared from the blue. "I hate disruptin' like this but we have an emergency" A woman stated walking through the door, her elemental child's head's peered through it, making sure all was safe with their master. "Kagutsuchi" Mai whispered under her breath, her child appearing behind the one outside the dorm.

The woman smiled as she stood in to the light. "Shizuru?" Natsuki gasped, her eyes widening. "Council President?" Mai said standing and disabling Mikoto, whom ran over the table to grab her prized ramen and ate it in peace. Shizuru smiled closing her eyes in the process. The three girls felt uneased as they watched the President stroll over to the table.

Natsuki's finger lightly gripped the trigger of her elemental guns, her teeth cringed underneath her lips in fear or anger she didn't know. Her mind kept calling, "Duran" but her mouth had yet to respond; something about Shizuru had always made her feel uneasy, uncertain of the reason why. And yet she was the dearest person to her heart one of the very few friends she had obtained while fighting. "My, my what a nice feast you have created" Shizuru smiled opening her eyes. "Yes! Mai cooked it all; Mai is a great cook you know!" Mikoto said with ramen noodles sticking out from her lips.

Shizuru smiled, "Well, is she now? Maybe I should have Ms. Tokiha make the committee some lunch. With tea of course". "Shizuru what about the emergency" Natsuki said finally speaking up. "Ah yes, there seems to have been an orphan spotted not to far from here." Shizuru spoke softly as her eyes fell upon the raven headed beauty. "A orphan in winter...Sounds like my kind of battle" Natsuki said getting up and going over to the coat closet to get her biker suit.

"Well then, I just imagine myself and Natsuki can take care of this one?" Shizuru smiled, yet behind that smile was a darkened plan. "Oh, oh can I come!?" Mikoto shrieked finishing her ramen with a loud slurp. Shizuru stared at her blankly with a smile, with a loss for her words. Yet the silence was filled by the rev of a motorcycle engine the dead of night. Mai flexed her arms and replied, "No Mikoto the orphan is probably way too weak for your blood and you could get a cold you know".

"But…Mai!" Mikoto said her eyes getting watery once again as she ran over to the beautiful teen. Shizuru silently slipped her way onto one Kiyohime's multiple heads. "I suppose you should shut that door Ms. Tokiha, have a good night now" the Kyoto mistress stated as she rode her Kiyohime around Kagutsuchi and took off fallowing Natsuki's bike.

Natsuki rode around for an hour finding no site of an orphan to battle. She stopped her bike, took off her helmet and waited for Shizuru to get off of her child. They were quite a distance from the dorm now and it was almost midnight by now. Kiyohime's eyes acted like flashlights in the night guiding Shizuru to the ground. "May I ask why Natsuki has stopped?" Shizuru smiled brushing off her kimono. "Where's the orphan Shizuru that's why I came out here." Natsuki said coldly her body being warmed by her leather suit.

"My, it is cold tonight isn't it?" Shizuru said placing a finger to her chin as if she were thinking a serious thought, such as Haruka might do. "The orphan must have fled" She said calmly even though her body was trembling to know if Natsuki really believed this whole plan so far.

"Such a great night to cuddle up by a fire don't you think Shizuru?" came a voice from the treetops. The two girls looked around as Kiyohime patrolled each tree taking several seconds to watch each tree with each head. "It has been a while hasn't it?" The figure said sitting on a branch low to the ground. Shizuru heart skipped, this hadn't been a part of her plan, not even close to it. "Nagi, it has only been a week, that's the longest record for you" Natsuki laughed despite her uncomfort with Shizuru.

"Im surprised you even remember my name" Nagi said getting up and taking a bow as he watched the girls. "Natsuki, Natsuki, Natsuki. The boys at your school may think you're a bright headed girl but they don't know how much of a dimwit you can be when you put your trust in people" He said climbing off the tree and on to the ground. "And, for you Miss. Shizuru Fujino, Bravo. The master loves to see his princesses use different methods of darkness to get what they want." He continued. Natsuki's eyes drifted from the speaking boy to her beloved friend whom tilted her head down.

Shizuru's wine colored eyes were covered by her bangs making it impossible for Natsuki to see their true emotion. "Get…What they want?" Natsuki said gripping her biker helmet tightly, her hands shaking a bit. "As for an orphan, master always hates to disappoint" Nagi said thrusting his claws into his arm, splattering his blood upon the ground. Orphans appeared in an instant some crawling some flying toward the pair.

Natsuki put on her helmet as she called forth Duran, making her guns appear as well. She shot rapidly at the demons coming forth her but not at the ones nearest Shizuru, figuring the despiteful woman could kill them off herself. "Shizuru get them what are you doing!?" Natsuki yelled firing at the last of the ones near her. Sighing Natsuki ran over, gripping Shizuru and placing her onto her bike. "Duran load Flash Cartridge!" Natsuki yelled taking off her helmet and placing it onto Shizuru's head. "Fire" was screamed as Natsuki sped away from the Orphan's and Nagi.

Natsuki stopped about 2 miles away from the scene with Duran close on her tail patrolling the streets and forests as he fallowed. "Get what you want? Shizuru what does that mean" She thought as she drove over some unsteady rocks causin her wheel to pop. She placed her bike up against an abandoned shrine and esting Shizuru down on the porch of the shrine she took off her helmet. Although it was a trap Natsuki always knew it would be, weither it be a teasing or full on assault it was all a trap to Natsuki. After all during Natsuki's whole life she felt trapped, alone in some way. She reached down and caressed Shizuru's cheek gently; unable to accommodate what she was doing to the Kyoto woman.

"Shizuru…"
