It started off as any other summer Saturday for me: scorching hot and boring.
Here I am, helping my mother and father look after the small shop selling charms, bracelets, cheap jewelry, etc. they own in downtown; not because I am forced into doing this, but because my parents are old and I don't want them overworking themselves when I can help them. Besides, I'd prefer doing this any day, rather than going out shopping with my shopaholic friends. I prefer to be alone, which has earned me the title of the loner or the 'lone wolf.'
Being alone most of the time has given me a lot of time to quietly ponder upon my life and other things, mainly her.
Beautiful as a mystical goddess, I have seen her several times within my dreams. I have never seen her face, but I have seen her endlessly flowing golden hair against her perfect curves. Every time she actually faces me in my dreams, it seems as if there is a shadow covering her face, preventing me from seeing her in her entirety. Every dream I have had of her, she's surrounded by a background of different shades of red. I don't know what this means, but it hasn't affected how I feel of her; in fact, the endless red draws me in even more each and every time. After dreaming of her, I always feel like I'm in a state of complete and utter bliss. I believe she's my soulmate. I also believe I'm in love with her.
None of my friends agree; in fact, all of them have laughed at me. I always tell them that one day I'll meet her. I just hope that day comes soon.

"Natsuki!" her mother yelled. Shaken from her daydream, Natsuki rushed to her mother's side. Both her parents were inside of the shop, enjoying the air conditioning, while she was outside sitting on a stool, enduring the heat. Her dead emerald eyes lacked the spark of life as she asked, "Yeah mom?"
Her elderly mother smiled and offered, "Do you want some water, Natsuki? You've been out there for so long." Her long midnight hair shook from side to side as she politely declined, "No thank you. I'm going to go back out. Most of our merchandise is outside." Her mother, Saeko, nodded and smiled once more. Smiling back, Natsuki pulled the hood of the black sweatshirt she had on over her head. Sure it was summer, but this girl was never one to be afraid of the heat.
Sliding down the wall outside just next to the merchandise, the emerald-eyed girl felt her ripped jeans rip just a bit more as she sat down and observed her surroundings. Her eyes scanned the place and finally rested upon a bus that had just stopped. It looked like travel tour bus of some sort and there were girls, cute girls, coming towards the shop that had just come from the bus.

Ah, yes. Natsuki liked girls. Having known for about two years, the pretty azure haired girl has had two girlfriends. Of course, her mom didn't know this. No one but her closest friends knew. Her ex-girlfriends had the decency to not spread any rumors or attempt ruining her life. It was after these girlfriends, however, that Natsuki began having those blissful dreams of her soulmate.

Spotting the girls, the rebel of her school smirked just a bit. She stood up as they walked closer and closer. There was just something bothering her about one of those girls. The girl looked way too familiar. Long chestnut hair flowing lightly from the wind of cars going by and piercing crimson eyes, the girl, blessed with perfect curves and beautiful looks, walked closer and closer to her parents' shop. Natsuki's emerald eyes couldn't stop looking and then it seemed to finally click. The goddess standing in front of her was her soulmate from her dreams! She was sure of it!
"Excuse me." Snapping out of her revelation, Natsuki froze once more as she looked into hypnotizing dark red eyes and woke up a second later to say, "Sorry, miss." The dark-haired girl moved out of the way and stood behind the girls now looking through the items that were displayed outside of the shop. 'Red. So that's why there was always red in the background. Funny how that connects.'
Taking off her hood, Natsuki shook her midnight hair a bit. With a bored look, she kept a keen eye on every one of the customers, especially her soulmate. It was then the notorious loner noticed something strange. With her eyes locked on the beautiful brunette, the shopkeeper's daughter crept closer to have a better look. What she saw blew her mind. The goddess was stealing?! So were the other customers?! What was this?! Steal from 'Dawn and Dusk Charms' store day?! Boiling in anger, Natsuki shouted, "Hey! What are you doing?!" This was directed especially at her soulmate. Who would've thought after dreaming for months of meeting her soulmate, the rebel would find her as a thief, of all things.
The thieving girls scrambled away, every one of them running towards the bus across the street. Natsuki managed to catch one of them- her goddess-like soulmate. Why? Because the midnight haired girl couldn't keep her eyes off the girl after her discovery.
"Ara, looks like I've been caught." The captured thief mused. Crimson orbs peered into emerald eyes; in the emerald-eyed girl's point of view, the brunette didn't seem too worried, yet she continued to struggle from Natsuki's tight grasp. The midnight haired girl leaned closer to her soulmate, her face now centimeters from the beautiful girl's face. One could see the flaxen haired girl seemed to stiffen just a bit. Who wouldn't with a stranger so close to your face? After recovering from her shock though, crimson eyes twinkled as the brunette pecked the emerald-eyed girl's cheek. Dumbstruck, Natsuki let go and the thief took this as her chance to escape. It wasn't until the devious thief shouted, "Bye!" did Natsuki realize that she had just let the thieving goddess, who was also her soulmate, go.
