DISCLAIMER: MAI HIME doesn't belong to me but SHIZURU belongs to me! *evil laugh*gun shot* I'm just kidding Natsuki-chan! *gunshot* I mean Kuga!
CHAPTER ONE: BLAST FROM THE PAST
The cobalt haired woman stepped out of her customized royal blue Honda civic sedan and glanced slowly towards the huge building in front of her. She inspected the gleaming white building of the Kanzaki Corporation. She made her way towards the entrance as the security guard greeted her.
"Ohayou Miss, may I ask, do you have an appointment?" the security guard asked.
"Ohayou sir, hai, I have an appointment with Miss Fumi Himeno. She is expecting me today."
"I'll just call Miss Fumi Himeno to confirm your appointment, please wait a minute."
She took off her shades as she rested them in her breast pocket while her emerald eyes roamed through the reception of the Kanzaki Corporation. She was wearing black slacks, white long sleeves polo shirt with her hair tied up in a ponytail. For a ceramic product company, she noticed how tight the security is. Adorned with classy gold curtains with frizzles and red sofa, the reception looks inviting. A large crystal chandelier is hanging at the centre of building. Different kinds of vases were placed around the reception and corners of the building making it more classy and vintage. She leaned in the large desk as she waits for the confirmation of her appointment.
"Gomenasai for waiting, Miss Himeno is expecting you. Her office is on the seventh floor, just outside of the office of Kaichou Kanzaki. Please wear this visitor pass." The security guard gave her an ID and gestured the direction towards the elevator.
"Arigato" the blunette bowed as she took the ID, making her way to the elevator. Her appearance on the outside acted in a nonchalant manner but her eyes had a motive of their own as they scanned around the room, noticing the camera above. The elevator stopped at the seventh floor as she walked out, her eyes couldn't help but admire the floor at how different it was compared to the first. The hallway was covered with red carpet and many canvass hung at the wall. Walking directly towards the hallway, she soon found three doors before her as a strawberry haired woman came out of the left door.
"Oh, Ohayou, are you Miss Natsuki Kuga?"
"Hai, I'm here about the call yesterday. I'm still interested in that position and I'm willing to work for Kaichou Kanzaki-san."
Fumi himeno studied the tall woman. Natsuki maybe a woman but her credentials are superb. A black belter in Judo and an ace sniper who won in three shooting competitions in Japan and the other countries. The blue haired woman looks lean and capable of the job. A bodyguard for the Kaichou. Fumi still wonders why the Kaichou needs a bodyguard as Kanzaki is a black belter in karate and capable of using any weapon.
"Well if you ask me, I'm sure you are more than capable of handling this job but it's up to Kaichou if he'll accept you as his bodyguard. He should be in his office, if you would follow me please. I'll just get your resume." Fumi took a clear folder from her desk and lead her into the door in the middle of the room. She knocked twice before entering the room.
The first thing that Natsuki noticed is the view from the window at the left of the room. It got the best view of the bustling city. She looked at the man behind the mahogany desk; he looked to be in his late twenties with black hair and a serene face. Natsuki and Fumi bowed to greet the man.
"Ohayou Kaichou Kanzaki, here is Miss Kuga. She has come with interest in the job that we have offered to her." Fumi handed the clear folder to the Kaichou.
"Arigato Himeno, I'll take care of this. I'll send her outside once I've interviewed her."
Fumi bowed at the Kaichou and smiled at Natsuki as she left the room. "Ohayou Miss Kuga, arigato for coming today. My name is Reito Kanzaki, president of the Kanzaki Corporation. I apologise for the hastiness of this request but I am in need of a close bodyguard as soon as possible."
"Don't worry about it Kaichou, it's just plain luck when I stumbled at the ad of the Kanzaki Corporation when it was posted right away. It's really a blessing because I'm currently unemployed."
"May I ask why you are unemployed?"
"I took a vacation because I met an accident at my last job. I took a bullet from my employer but luckily the bullet didn't tore through my muscles in my right arm. My doctor strictly advised me to take a rest for a few months to completely heal my wounds."
"I see. Himeno-san took the liberty to confirm what you just said and your previous employer was giving you praises and she even told me on the phone to thank you personally for saving her. I think with what she said impressed me and I want to hire you as my close bodyguard as soon as possible."
"Arigato Kaichou. When will I start? What will be our set-up? Do I have to live with you?"
Kanzaki laughed. "You really are serious about your job. Well you can come back tomorrow and I request you to live with me for a while. Please bring some spare clothes and by the way, my girlfriend is living with me so if it doesn't affect you, you'll be guarding both of us."
"It's not a problem Kaichou, but can I ask why do you suddenly need a bodyguard?"
Kanzaki swivelled his chair and walked towards the window. "Lately I have been receiving death threats. I was being accused as the mastermind in the disappearance of the young girls in the city. I didn't know how on earth they came up with that story. At first I ignored the notes and calls, I thought it was stupid then the weird gifts started coming. A dead cat, a bloody hair or a voodoo doll with death threats. Then one night while I walking outside my house to see what the racket was in the alley near my house, I was assaulted as they tried to grab me from behind and pull me inside a black van. Luckily my girlfriend saw it and started shouting to draw the attention of the nearby bystanders, when some people noticed the commotion they pushed me and ran away." Kanzaki sighed. "I hope that those pranks will eventually stop. I don't want to ruin everything and I don't want my girlfriend to be hurt by this. So are you still up with it?"
"Hai, hai. I'll come early tomorrow, will eight o'clock be alright?"
"Hai, arigato Kuga-san, you will be compensated dearly. See you tomorrow." Kanzaki offered his hand as Natsuki shook it.
"See you Kaichou Kanzaki." Natsuki bowed and left the room. Outside the room she thanked Himeno-san as the woman handed her the necessary documents for her duties before she left the building.
Walking to her car, Natsuki opened the doors as she hopped in, tossing the documents onto the passenger seat before closing the door and driving off. Making her way home through the crazed drivers in traffic, she arrived home, parking her car just outside her house. Taking the documents in hand, Natsuki casually strolled to the front door as she unlocked the door. She was met by barking sounds coming from the other room as she closed the door, kicking off her shoes. A smile crept along her lips as a white Siberians husky came running towards her with exciting eyes. The woman knelt down as she patted her dog lovingly on the head.
"Did you miss me Duran?" The dog barked as if he understands what she's saying. Natsuki smiled and gave him one last pat. She made her way to her bedroom to change her clothes. Her fingers were busy unzipping her slacks when the sound of her phone ringing caught her attention. Losing interest at the task at hand, she reached for her phone, answering it.
"Kuga here." She shrugged off her polo shirt, wearing only her black bra and unzipped slacks.
"Are you alone?" The voice on the other line asked Natsuki.
"Hai." Natsuki stopped at what she was doing. She walked to her window to close the curtains and closed the door.
"Give your report Lone Wolf."
"Hai, I was able to infiltrate the Kanzaki Corporation as an undercover. I'll be starting tomorrow as the close-in bodyguard of the suspect. I found out that there were death threats in the life of the Kaichou but I'm not sure if he was telling the truth. I'll try to confirm it tomorrow." Natsuki sat down on her bed.
"Really? I was not appraised with that information. Check out if he was telling the truth and I want you to keep a close eye on him at all times. Gather enough evidence to convict him in the court but make sure that you'll retain your disguise. I want him behind the jail Lone Wolf, more girls are vanishing without a trace and I don't know how Kanzaki did it but there's an intelligence report from the CIA that he's in the middle of this mess. If he's the mastermind of this madness, I want him taken down. The CIA didn't give us any more information because they are investigating it too but they appraised us because it's in our jurisdiction." The voice behind the line hardened.
"Affirmative Sensei, I'll appraise you as soon as I find something but I think there will be a slight problem. The girlfriend of the Kaichou is living with him, so we'll have to limit our contact with each other starting tomorrow. I'll initiate the contact Sensei."
"Affirmative, just be careful. I don't want to lose one of my best agents." The voice hangs up.
Natsuki tugged her hair out of the ponytail. Sighing heavily to herself, she turned her eyes to her wardrobe. Finding a suitcase, she began packing some clothes before reaching for her phone again and dialling a contact.
"Yo, Yuuki here."
"Hey Nao, could you take care of Duran while I'm gone? I've got a job but I'll be awake for awhile as I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Hey mutt, you have another assignment? I thought Sensei gave you a leave of absence."
"Nah, I didn't accept it. Besides, I don't have anything to do here, I'll just get bored." Natsuki walked to her closet to select a shirt.
"Awwwww, the mutt is getting lonely eh? I told you before; let us find you a mate so you won't be bored." Nao teased her.
Natsuki growled. "Shut up baka! As if I need someone to take care of me and don't level me with you. I don't need someone to warm my sheets every night."
"Ohhhhhhh! I didn't know that you are bothered by what was happening in my bed mutt? If I knew that, I should have given you a chance in my bed." Nao laughed.
"B-Baka! Like I care about that! And stop changing the subject, take care of Duran for me!" Natsuki gritted her teeth. Nao really knows how to push her buttons.
"Say pleaseeeeeee?"
Natsuki closed her eyes and silently prayed for patience for this irritating woman. "PLEASE NAO?"
Nao howled in laughter. "Okay, Okay! You sounded constipated Natsuki, don't worry about your son Duran, I'll take care of him."
"Duran's not my son! Pray that we'll not cross our paths or I'll smack you for this spider!"
"Ohhhh, scary! Don't forget about our offer, Chie and I will gladly assist you in the search for your lover! So you won't be grumpy due to the lack of your sex life!"
"Why you-"Natsuki stared at the phone in her hand as Nao hung up on the other end. She tried to call her again but the woman turned off her phone. Frustrated, Natsuki threw her phone on her bed and put on her white shirt and black boxers. She made her way to the kitchen to make herself a sandwich.
With a sandwich in her mouth, she started to pack her clothes. She threw a couple of shirts, jeans, underwear, a toothbrush, and her personal hygiene bits and pieces. She took out her Taurus .22 pistol and her blue buck knife and placed it in the secret pocket of her backpack. While chewing, she was planning her course of action once she arrived at the Kanzaki Corporation. She listed in her mind what are the suspicious things she noticed in the Kanzaki Corporation. They have too many CCTV cameras for being a ceramic company and there are too many guards roaming around the place. Swallowing the last piece of her sandwich, she turned on her laptop. She googled the Kanzaki Corporation, upon finding information; she learned that the main transaction of the corporation is exporting of ceramic products like vases. They are known for the exquisite design of ceramic products that's why the other countries import it from the corporation. She saw several news clip about the Kaichou. She saw several pictures of the awarding events for him. Natsuki wonders how the CIA came up with the information that he is the prime suspect of the disappearance of the girls around the city. Knowing the CIA, they won't just throw false accusations to a prominent figure. After arming herself with enough information about the corporation, she decided to watch movies for the day. She was sure that tomorrow, she won't have time for herself because she'll be Natsuki Kuga, a lowlife bodyguard.
-Meanwhile elsewhere-
A loud sigh escaped from Reito, feeling exhausted from the day's events. He was in the meeting for the whole day. He has to assure the stockholders that they don't have to worry about the accusations. He explained them that he is innocent, that this rumour is one of the ploys of their competitors to bring the corporation down. He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw. He wanted this to be over, he wanted his life back, he wanted to bury his face into his girlfriends' neck and breathe her sweet orange scent. His musing was cut off when somebody knocked at his door. A smiling tawny haired woman entered and slowly closed the door.
"Hello sweetie, did I disturb you?" A distinct Kyoto-ben accent emphasized the amused voice of the woman.
"Shizuru." Reito suddenly broke down. He stood up and rushed to Shizuru to embrace her. A sob escaped his lips.
Shizuru rubbed his back to calm Reito. "There, there. Don't worry, everything will be alright. It will be over soon."
Reito calmed down after crying for a few minutes. He let go of Shizuru to compose himself. "Gomenasai Shizuru, I guess I'm just too stressed of the situation. I didn't mean to break down in front of you. I should be the one who is holding up."
"Don't worry about it Reito. I understand, I'm surprised that it took you this long to break down. I was afraid that you're not sharing anything to me and carrying this burden alone." Shizuru rubbed his arms.
"Gomen, Shizuru. Gomenasai for bringing you into this mess but you're the only one who I can turn to." Reito returned to his chair and sat. He rubbed his temples to release the knots of tension that's building in his head.
"Reito, I told you before. I'm here for you. I'll do my best to help you so stop apologizing for every single thing." Shizuru walked towards the window to see the view of the sunset. "So, did the applicant come today?"
"Hai, she came this morning. I think she is more than capable of protecting me. She's got an amazing credentials plus a recommendation from her previous employer. Here is her resume, you can check it." Reito pushed a clear folder towards her.
Looking at the clear folder Shizuru felt a certain pull to see it but she decided to ignore it. "No, I'll check her out personally tomorrow. So, she'll be living with us?"
"Hai, I want her 24/7 with us. We don't have room for any mistakes so I'm counting on her."
Shizuru smiled at Reito. "Don't worry, I'll always be here."
"Arigato Shizuru. Come, I'll take you to dinner." Reito stood up and prepared himself to leave.
"Let's go."
Reito and Shizuru walked out side by side and bid their goodbye to Fumi. They walked their way to the front of the building. Reitos' car was waiting for him as he thanked the guard before accompanying Shizuru inside the car. They were driven to a nearby restaurant which they were greeted by the waiter out front who took them to their reservation.
"I'll take your today's chef's specialty and could you please bring us green tea? What would you like Shizuru?"
"I would like to order the same please."
The waiter bowed. "It'll take a minute Sir, Ma'am. I'll bring you your drinks, please excuse me."
After the waiter left, a blond haired woman and a mussy brown haired woman came to their table. "My my, is it bubuzuke? It's been a long time Shizuru!"
Shizuru was surprise at the sudden appearance of her two childhood friends. "Haruka! Yukino! It's been so long since I last saw the two of you. How have you been?" Shizuru grinned at her two friends, standing up to greet the pair properly.
Yukino adjusted her glasses. "The business has been good. We really miss you Shizuru, it's been five years. We can't believe that you left us without any message. Haruka was really worried that time. She even hired private investigators to find you."
Haruka growled. "I am definitely not worried about that woman?! That's nonsensei Yukino?! Stop giving her stupid ideas! Besides, she can take care of herself. If she can't take care of herself, then she's not worthy to be my vital!"
Yukino giggled. "It's nonsense Haruka and its rival not vital."
Shizuru giggled. "Ara, I'm glad that Haruka has not gotten soft on me. Although I'm a bit disappointed that I can't to give her a proper hug and kiss to convey how much I'm grateful for not forgetting me, neh?" Shizuru tilted her head trying to be cute.
Haruka blushed. "B-Baka!? You're still a ververted tea addict woman?!" Haruka stepped back as if afraid that Shizuru will latch on to her. Shizuru laughed and ignored the wrong adjective of her blonde friend. Haruka pointed at Reito
"Reito, what are these rumours about you leading a prostitution ring? It's been circling around the business society. It even peached us when we were in Canada. Are you out of your mind?"
Reito became visibly paled. Shizuru reached his hand to convey her concern. "Haruka, did you forget what you drilled into our heads when we were in highschool?"
Haruka's eyebrow furrowed then her lavender eyes widened. Shizuru just smiled at the woman in front of them. "Shall we enjoy the rest of the night my old friends?"
Yukino nodded seriously. "Haruka, why don't we join them?" Haruka held onto Yukino's hand and nodded to all of them. "Hai, it'll be a honor for Shizuru if we may join them so be grateful bubuzuke, the great Suzushiro will be with you tonight." Haruka smirked at them and pulled the chair near Reito for Yukino.
Shizuru giggled at her friend's action. "Indeed Haruka-chan." Shizuru gently squeezed Reito's hand and smiled softly at him.
Reito swallowed hard to stop the sudden emotion that's bubbling in his throat. "I'm deeply grateful Haruka-chan. Arigato."
-Next morning-
Natsuki woke up earlier than the usual, much to her displeasure as she wasn't a morning person. Her movements were slow from her dreariness of staying up late last night as she eventually made her way to the kitchen to make herself a coffee. The coffee brought about her lost energy as she took a shower to wash away the last of her tiredness. Searching for clothes to wear, she picked out a black hooded shirt with a logo of converse, a faded skinny jean with a little ripped on the left thigh, a green high cut converse sneaker, she put on her earring at her right lobe ear and for a finishing touch, her shades to hide her eyes from the sun. After brushing her midnight blue hair, she checked the doors of her apartment and gave Duran a rub in his head. She picked up her backpack and locked the door once she got out. Eager to beat the morning rush, she avoided the main highway taking a different route but still managed to run a few red lights before arriving at the Kanzaki Corp building.
She entered the building and greeted the same guard at the reception. "Ohayou Miss Kuga-san, you have a meeting with the Kaichou?"
"Hai, I'll report to him today. Is he in here?" Natsuki took off her shades.
"Hai Miss Kuga-san, just proceed to his office." Natsuki put back her shades and walked on to the elevator. Fumi Himeno spotted her upon exiting the elevator. Fumi bowed at Natsuki and greeted her. "Ohayou Kuga-san, you're an early bird. Have you had your breakfast?"
"Ohayou Himeno-san, Hai. I'm not much of a heavy eater in the morning. I'm okay with just black coffee in the morning." Natsuki smiled at Fumi.
"Oh, so you want anything? Coffee? Or a bagel?"
"Coffee will do Himeno-san." Natsuki replied politely.
"Hai, proceed on through towards the Kaichou's office. I'll bring you your coffee there." Natsuki followed Fumi inside the office. The Kaichou was talking to his cellphone when they entered his office.
"Of course I'll wait for you. Anyway our bodyguard is here so you can focus on your work for now. At least we can depend on someone now that she's here. We don't have to keep glancing on our backs." Reito said, hanging up the phone. Natsuki walked to the window to see the scenery below. It's a fine day to walk outside. The air outside is cool and the sun is not that hot on the skin.
"Gomenasai for waiting Kuga-san, it's your first day in the job. The set up will be you'll be with us 24/7, meaning you'll eat and sleep with us. The sleeping arrangement is you'll be with us in my room. You'll accompany my girlfriend when it is needed but you'll be with me most of the time. Your salary will be based on the contract in here. You can check it if you want. The contract says that once the threat was gone or I don't need your service anymore you'll be free to resign as my bodyguard." Reito handed Natsuki the folder that contains the contract.
Natsuki opened the folder as she read it thoroughly. "So once the threat vanished I'm not bounded by this contract anymore? So this means I can investigate what's the reason behind these threats?" She inquired Reito.
"Hai, if you put it that way. " Reito smiled at her.
"Okay, where will I sign? And could you please give me a copy?" Reito handed her a sign pen and pointed Natsuki where she would sign. After signing the contract, she shook hands with Reito.
"Welcome as my bodyguard Kuga-san. Make yourself at home. Usually my schedule is I'm always in here every day, there are times that I'm on site and you'll accompany me most of my meetings outside but for now I'll be in here for the whole day signing papers." Reito took a seat and started to read documents on his table.
"Miss Himeno-san?" Reito called out, not a second later Fumi entered the office.
"Yes Kaichou?"
"Could you please make a copy of this for Kuga-san? It's her contract." Reito handed Fumi the contract.
"Hai Kaichou. Please follow me Miss Kuga-san." Fumi left the office, issuing for Natsuki to follow.
"Okay, can I familiarize myself in your building?" Natsuki asked Reito.
"Sure Kuga-san. I'll stay in here." Reito only nodded to Natsuki. She followed Fumi and waited for her copy.
"Himeno-san, is the Kaichou the only one who occupies this floor?" Natsuki asked her.
"Hai, the middle room is the conference hall, the right is the Kaichous' office the left small room is the pantry and a bathroom. I'm not occupying any room because I'd rather be outside of the Kaichous' office to oversee his appointments. You see he's so busy so I can't just let anyone in unless they have an appointment with him." Fumi handed her the copy of contract. "So where do you want to drink your coffee?"
"Do you have coffee in a can? I'll just bring it with me; I'd like roam around for a bit." Natsuki smiled at Fumi.
"Oh? I didn't know that you're fond of drinking cold coffee. Just wait a sec; I'll just get some from the pantry." Fumi headed to the pantry.
Natsuki inspected the corridor. The only way to access his office is through this corridor unless they have a secret passage to enter. They have two CCTV cameras in both corners. She wonders if these types of CCTV cameras can record the audio too. She noted to check what kind of CCTV they're using. Fumi came back with a can of coffee.
"Is cappuccino okay with you Kuga-san?" Fumi gestured the can to her.
"Hai, it will do." Natsuki reach out the can and opened it. The first sip of the cold coffee energized Natsuki. Usually coffee makes people jittery but coffee makes Natsuki calm. She loves the bitter tastes of it and how the taste swirls around her tongue when she savours her coffee.
"So do you need a tour of Kanzaki Corporation?"
"No. Arigato for the offer Himeno-san, I'll find my way. I don't want to disturb you in your duties." Natsuki straighten herself and waved at Fumi. "I'll be back."
Natsuki walked along the corridors of the building, the first floor was the reception of the building. There were two guards at the entrance and the remaining one is roaming. The visitors are required to wear a visitor's pass. The second to sixth floor are for the employees who are assigned at the office and there two warehouses at the back of the building. As she inspects the Corporation, the employees are staring at the emerald eye beauty. Natsuki saunters lazily at the hallways, fire exits and offices to observe any suspicious activities. After satisfying herself, she came back at the reception of the building to ask some question at the guard.
"Sir, can I ask who monitors the CCTV Cameras?" Natsuki took out her small notepad.
"A-Ano, the head of the security monitors the Cameras Ma'am." The security guard stammers at the intense eyes of Natsuki.
"And who might that be?" Natsuki asked.
"That would be Tate Yuuichi ma'am but he's been absent since yesterday. I think the reason why he's absent is because he has flu."
"I see. Do you know when will he be back?"
"I-I don't know ma'am. If you want, I'll inform you right away if he came." The security guard offered her.
"Arigato Mister."
"Please, call me Watashi ma'am. Mister and Sir seem too formal. Are you the Kaichou's bodyguard?"
"Hai Watashi-san, actually it's my first day and you can call me Kuga" Natsuki continued to write on her notepad.
"So the rumors are true, but why are you inspecting the site? Do you think it's an inside job?"
"I'm just familiarizing myself in the building Watashi-san and not to be rude, I can't disclose information to anyone. Gomenasai."
"H-Hai, gomen Kuga-san" Watashi apologized to her.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. Arigato for the information, I'll just come back if I have any more questions. Is that okay with you Watashi-san?"
"S-Sure Kuga-san, anytime." Natsuki bowed. She decided to come back to the Kaichou's office.
The whole day has passed and the Kaichou himself just stayed in his office. The lunch came and Fumi ordered food for her boss and Natsuki. Natsuki settled at a big size burger and fries while Reito decided to eat a Caesar salad. Fumi handed Natsuki four pocket size mayo sachets.
"Here is your extra mayo Kuga-san."
"Arigato Himeno-san." Natsuki grinned like a child.
Reito chuckled at her facial expression. It's the first time that Natsuki bestowed a genuine smile to them. "It seems that we found the weakness of Kuga-san."
Natsuki blushed. "O-Oi! It's not my weakness! It's just that I-I like a lot of mayo on my burger."
"Hai, it's a lot of mayo for one burger." Reito smiled.
"B-But it's to dip for my fries too!" Natsuki growled. "Whatever." Natsuki started eating her food, ignoring the amused looks of the Kaichou and Fumi. After eating, Kaichou resumed his work and Natsuki stayed with him through the afternoon.
It's past seven when Fumi knocked at the office of the Kaichou. "Kaichou, do you need something?"
Reito yawned as he stretched his arms. "I'm good Himeno-san, you can go now if you want."
Fumi bowed.
"Arigato Kaichou, I'll be going now." Fumi closed the door.
Natsuki slowly made her way onto her feet, all the sitting around had made her legs fall asleep. "I'll go to the bathroom for a sec, could you please lock the door just to be sure?" Reito nodded at her request and followed Natsuki to close the door.
In the bathroom, Natsuki stretched her arms and yawned as she took the first cubicle. After flushing the toilet, she heard the door being opened. She paused and waited the other person to do something just in case she's just being suspicious, but the other person didn't make any noise. Natsuki tensed. She doesn't have her gun or her knife to defend herself. She has no choice but to rely on her hand to hand. After taking a huge breath, she suddenly pushed the door and searched the person who entered the bathroom. Then she saw her, her palm held out as her body was locked in a battle stance as if ready to defend herself. Natsuki's eyes widened as her heart jumps to her throat. Her knees weakened upon seeing the woman as she felt a chain binding around her heart had tightened. She started to lower her hands to avoid hurting the girl.
"S-Shizuru? What are you doing in here?" Natsuki asked her. Natsuki's emerald eyes roamed hungrily to the crimson eyed woman. Time had worked its magic on the woman before her. Her tawny hair still looks soft but the tips of her hair are curled and longer than she remembered as they ran past her shoulders, her body had aged and matured nicely as Natsuki eyed the sight with delight. Those ruby eyes slowly captured Natsuki in a trance as she felt herself being devoured by the bloodied iris of the woman's eyes and she still have a mouth that sent shivers through her.
"Ara, I should be the one who's asking that question Nat-su-ki." Shizuru tilted her head while smiling. "Does Natsuki want me back after all this years?"
Emotions caught Natsuki's throat. Natsuki wondered how Shizuru can still manage to hold her emotions after what they've been through. The impenetrable mask of Shizuru Fujino seems stronger than before because the younger woman can't read what was happening behind those scarlet eyes.
"Shizuru I'm serious. What are you doing in here?" Natsuki asked again, her eyes still in disbelief of the woman standing before her.
"Hmmmm.. As far as I'm concerned I have all the rights to be here Natsuki-chan because I'm Reito's girlfriend." Shizuru arched her right eyebrow.
Natsukis' mind protested. "F-For real?" She stammered, feeling that her inner self has died a little inside. Her ex-girlfriend has definitely moved on.
-TBC-
OMAKEEEE?!:
In the bathroom, Natsuki stretched her arms and yawned as she took the first cubicle. After flushing the toilet, she heard the door being opened. She paused and waited the other person to do something just in case she's just being suspicious, but the other person didn't make any noise. Natsuki tensed. She doesn't have her gun or her knife to defend herself. She has no choice but to rely on her hand to hand. After taking a huge breath, she suddenly pushed the door and searched the person who entered the bathroom. She couldn't see anyone, suddenly a pair of arms engulfed her from behind. Natsuki was startled at first but she eventually relaxed.
Natsuki: Neh, Shizuru you startled me. *smile* did you miss me?
Shizuru: Ara, I can't surprise Natsuki-chan anymore. It's like she has a "Shizuru Radar" *pout*
Natsuki: *turned around Shizuru*smile* awww don't pout Shizuru, I can pretend that I was surprised if you want? *pinches Shizuru's cheeks* I love you Shizuru...
Shizuru: *blush* mou, Natsuki is being affectionate eh? *hug* maybe Natsuki wants something? *giggling*
Natsuki: *blush* mou, can you blame me? *buries her face to Shizurus neck* with a hot girlfriend like you, I can't stop myself from being insatiable.
Shizuru: Ara, so Natsuki thinks that I'm hot? *purr* maybe Natsuki wants to try it in here, specifically in the sink?
Natsuki: *blush* Hai, come here *holds the waist of Shizuru and carries her at the sink*
Shizuru: *dark eyes* It's so arousing to see Natsuki so dominant *kisses*moans*
Natsuki: *growl* you wear to many clothes, why don't we get rid of them?
A groan interrupted their "supposed to be" sex session.
Natsuki: W-Who's that! *her hands are cupping Shizuru's breast*
Rebelionheart: For god's sake, why does it have to be now? I'm pooping guys, could you cut out the moans and groans! I can't concentrate! *groans*
Natsuki: Holy shit?! C-Come on Shizuru, I don't want to smell her poop! *pale*
Shizuru: Mou *pout* don't worry about the smell it'll go away. I can't wait anymore Nat-su-ki *cups Natsuki's breast*
Natsuki: S-S-Shizuru!? No! Let's just do it anywhere but not in here while Rebelionhert is pooping?! We can't take any chances! W-What if the stench of her poop seeps into our clothes?! *pale*
Shizuru: But I thought we can do it anywhere? I want it now Natsuki. I want it in here *whine*
Rebelionheart: *groans* come on Natsuki *shivers* I can't see you guys anyway *groans* just lower your voices.
