"I'm leaving soon, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to wait for me, I'm not asking for a lifetime, but for a year. Please say yes." Nasuki asked as she was kneeling down, almost crying.

"I'll wait for you as long as possible, not because you ask, but because I Shizuru Fujino love you."

"I promise you, I'll come back as soon as possible, but there are many things I need to do before you and I can be together."

"Don't worry, no one but Nao, and Mai know about us so there is no problem for us, I know they won't tell."

"Yeah" Natsuki said as she looked down and walked off without saying anything that could be heard by Shizuru.

"I love you" she mumbled on her way out.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

The first time they met was on Shizuru's wedding day, she was about to get married to Reito Kanzaki, yet he loved someone else and she was waiting for her prince. As she walked down the aisle she got cold feet, and ran to the alter.

"I can't marry you, I see you more as a brother, I know our families would be even more powerful, but no, I-I can't...Sorry"

" Thank you very much, you have saved us both from a mistake that would cost us our youth. I'm a coward for not stopping this, so I must thank you again." he said with a giant smile on his face, the first smile he had since their parents arranged their marriage.

Shizuru ran to the dressing room, put on her normal clothes and walked out, without looking back.

As she was walking down the street she bumped into some fellows, they were tall, but one was very short, with white hair the other one was blond, with a guffy looking face, the rest looked all the same.

"Oh, hi little lady, why so rush" the blond asked

"Excuse me, please" she said as she tried to side step and move out of their way.

"Where do you think your going, you bump into us and know your trying to leave you little bitch" he said as he led her to a dark alley.

"You show that bitch who the boss is Tate" the white haired boy screamed

"Shut the hell up Nagi" Tate yelled back

Shizuru was scared she could not scream she wanted to but all her thoughts were on how to defend herself, if she tried to scream they were sure to take her down and since there were too many she could not fight them by herself and come out of it alive. She knew that they'd fight dirty and use many weapons. She was afraid, very afraid , she was waiting for them to take her, her body, her money, thankfully they did not know who she was because she knew if they did they would kidnap her and do worse things to her. All she did was stay quite and take whatever they were planning.

"Stop right there you guys" yelled a husky voice, it was sweet, feminine, but it was harsh.

"Now who the hell are you, come here and fight if you want this bitch." Tate yelled

"Ok, but I'm going to warn you once it's not going to be fair" the girl yelled back

"Of course not honey, your one and were many" he said as he pointed to all they guys surrounding him.

Suddenly the girl jumped in the air, a high jump, higher than any human could. As she did so her midnight colored hair flew and all Shizuru could think of was how nice it smelled. Once the jump was over in only a few seconds and then she was by her side, Shizuru could not believe the color of her skin, it was white and very delicate looking.

"Are you ok" she asked

"Yeah, they still haven't done anything to me" Shizuru answered

"Well thats good, that means I won't have to hurt then that bad" she laughed

"So who wants to be first" she asked

They all flung themselves at her, trying to get her to surrender. All she had to do was to get momentum and she began

to punch, kick, she broke Nagi's nose and Tate's teeth, she left him with only two front teeth and a few in the back, as for the other people, they all stayed on the floor, after she took their air out.

All that they could do was stay on the ground, because of the fear they had when they looked at this girl's face. She had a mad look, a look to get blood, and they sure where not going to allow her to get theirs. As she turned around she regained her serene face, as to not frighten the girl.

"How did you do that, I mean, beat all those guys in a few minutes and by yourself" Shizuru asked stunned and unable to move.

"I'll take you home, where do you live, don't worry I promise not to hurt you, just trust me and you'll be alright." the girl said she did not want to hear any protest and decided to be kind, and soft because somehow she had this feeling inside that just would not let her concentrate. Before she knew it she had picked the girl Bridal style and was smelling her hair.

All Shizuru could think about was the sound of her heart pounding, but she was not scared she was flushed, her heart was racing a thousand miles per hour. Her prince had come to save her and she instantly fell in love, with this beautiful girl with midnight hair and pale skin.

"Where do you live?" she asked again, a little more irritated that this other girl whom she had saved was not paying attention to her. But at the same time she had to give Shizuru some credit, because first of all she had not run away like many of the other people whom she had tried to save. This girl was amazing she did not seem to protest either of her holding her in such an intimate position. But she was still irritated, for she was not listening.

"Ah, I live in the Fujino mansion, I'm Shizuru Fujino" Shizuru said with a glossy smile on her face, with eyes that could melt anyone.

"Alright, so your the famous heir to the Fujino fortune. Good I guess I just saved an heir, I guess I get a prize. Just kidding" she said with a grin "I guess now I have to take you home, unless you want to go somewhere else with me?"

"Ok, you can take me anywhere you want to, but can I ask you some questions" Shizuru asked

"Sure that is fair, you can ask me anything you want, but I don't know if I'll be capable of answering them all." the girl with midnight color hair said.

"So what is your name?"

"My name is Natsuki Kuga" Natsuki answered

"How old are you?"

"I'm 21"

"That's fairly close to my age"

"Why do you say fairly close?"

"Well, this is complicated, you see I was about to get married today, on my 19th birthday to my best friend, he and I are like brothers so I did not want to go and canceled at the alter. End of story"

"Oh, well that is good I guess since you did not love him, in the way that they meant for you to love him."

"So, are we there yet, because I can tell you that I'm pretty hungry, I ran out in such a rush that I had no time to eat and then, with the guys and stuff" 


"Yeah, we're almost there, it's a small club just around this corner" Natsuki said as she led Shizuru to the club, which was not small as Shizuru had thought.

"Wow" was all that Shizuru could master out of her delicate mouth, she had never seen anything like this before, it was almost as big as a castle, the entrance decorated, on the west side of it there was a wall filled with many water colored paintings, on the east there were many colorful array of photographs of many different places. The door was made out of the most expensive wood anyone could find. A mahogany color, with a hint of honey on it.

Shizuru POV

I can't believe this, this amazing looking girl with midnight color hair just saved me, but how did she jump that high, I mean that's not humanly capable. Her lip movement and her speech are so marvelous I stayed quiet just to hear her speak once more. I found the person, the one I'm meant to live the rest of my life with, the only one for me, and hopefully I will the only one for her.

Holy shit, I just gave her my name, my real name, I feel that when I'm with her I can't lie, I was thinking about giving her another name but when she asked me where I lived I said it. Then she asked me if I would rather go with her someplace else, or if I wanted to go home. I was not sure if it was because of who I'am or because she really wanted to show me something. So she carried me a bit once we were fairly close she placed me down to walk, thankfully I had regained my movement. Slowly she was curing the pain inside of me, all the hate I felt for my parents. It all started the day I turned 15, they found out my sexual preferences when I tried to introduce them to my girlfriend she was a bit older than me, she was 17 her name Himeko, but my parents would not accept they called anyone, doctors, priest, exorcists anyone, that's when I learned to lie and put a fake mask. I told them I was cured after the 11th person who had looked at me. Of course by that time I had perfected my facade and they had no choice but to believe. Himeko met someone else and is currently happy, so I'm happy for her, but before I met this girl, Natsuki Kuga, I believed I had lost the most important person in my life. But We've know each other for about 3 hours yet I feel like I have known her all of my life.

So I followed her without any hesitation, hoping that she was with me because she felt the same way and not because she wants my money. Yet how the hell was she capable of beating up all those guys and without any type of weapon.

What, I should not be saying such silly things, they all deserve to be beaten up, and she did a mighty well job,hopefully... Holy shit, this is a huge castle she, said she was taking me to a small club, not this gigantic castle. What the hell is she thinking.

"Hey I thought you said a small club, not this huge castle?" I asked her furiously

"Well if I told you I wanted you to come over my house, would you have followed me?" she retorted

"Probably..not, but why did you lie to me, why? If I have not lied to you once yet."

"Because, unlike you I am a monster, and that's what I do."

"You are no monster, you saved me" I said a bit shocked that she would call herself a monster.

"Well do you know what I am, I bet you don't, yet you can't understand, people are looking for you, they are our enemies and if they turn you into a monster like me then I don't know what I'd do for my eternal life. I fell in love with you the minute I saw you, I have been looking out for you since, and today when you were in trouble I could not control myself." She said as she picked me up and took me inside, all a sudden there were many others.
