With an intense look in her eyes she stared out of the window. It was raining outside and somehow the cold made her feel warm, better. Maybe because it felt like the cold rain understood her. It was hard to explain but after she died everything that used to be annoying and in her way seemed to be less uncomfortable. ''Natsuki...'' A voice echoed through her mind.
Quickly Natsuki closed her eyes, trying to keep herself from breaking down into tears once again. She was surprised she still had tears left to cry. The voice didn't go away though. No matter how hard she tried. ''Natsuki, turn around...''
She didn't listen to it nor could she ignore it. ''Go away.'' She hissed. ''You're not real.''
''Natsuki, just turn around. I am very real.'' The other's voice sounded hurt. ''I am here.''
The blue haired girl sighed. She wanted to believe that but whenever she turned around she would find that there was no one there at all. Just her. ''Natsuki,'' The voice now pleaded.
Natsuki clenched her fists before turning around. She wanted to yell 'see!' but this time she seemed to be the one who had been at the wrong end. In front of her stood the brunette girl she had been longing for ever since they first met. ''Shizuru...'' She whispered, not knowing what to believe anymore.
''See.'' Shizuru whispered with a smile before extending one hand. ''Dance with me.''
''There's no music.'' The other replied, feeling somehow hypnotized by Shizuru. Slowly she took Shizuru's hand in her own. At first she was afraid this was just a dream, that she would wake up any minute now but neither of this was true. She could feel Shizuru's warm skin touch her own.
''We don't need music. We'll waltz on the sound of love.'' Shizuru whispered in Natsuki's ear, pulling her closer.
With that said they danced for a couple of minutes in complete silence. Finally Natsuki managed to open her mouth and say something. ''I don't understand.'' How could Shizuru be here with her? It was impossible.
''Remember when we met?'' Shizuru asked, changing the subject. Natsuki just nodded as she held on to her lover. ''You were so bitter, crushing those innocent flowers. You hated the world. You couldn't trust anyone...''
''Shizuru..'' Natsuki started but was cut off by the other.
''You let me into your world and now it's time to let you into mine.''
At first the blue haired girl had no idea what Shizuru was talking about until it finally hit her. She went wide eyed and quickly pulled away from the brunette. ''What?''
''You're all alone now. Join me Natsuki. I need you just as much as you need me. I'm all alone here. I want you to come to me. We can be together forever.''
Natsuki blinked away her tears, feeling her heart break. This wasn't real. Shizuru would never ask such a thing from her. ''Who are you?''
''Fujino Shizuru.'' The brunette replied, her eyes now fell on a knife that lay on the table. It hadn't been there before. ''I love you.''
''I love you too but,'' Natsuki closed her eyes. ''You're not Shizuru.''
''Very well.'' The brunette gazed back at Natsuki. ''I'll come back later. When you finally understand. When you finally realize that, I'm all you have. I am all you had.''
Natsuki opened her mouth to say something but before she could the brunette had already disappeared. She scanned the room for a few seconds, wanting to make sure she was really alone again. Then, she fell to the ground, crying. ''Shizuru...''
