Ring Ring
Shizuru cling to her raven-haired friend, who listened to Mai singing. Taking the phone out of her pocket and flipping it over, "Fujino here" she said with a pleasant voice. "Ara, is that so? Father at the moment I can't attend there."
Natsuki noticed Shizuru take her arms around her and was interested in what Shizuru was saying. Natsuki looked at Shizuru and noticed her lips, the fresh memory came back and Natsuki turned her head the other way. What am I thinking? She was still trying to listen to Shizuru conversation but had no luck with the singing that was taking place there.
Shizuru sighed and turned off her phone; she went to pick up her purse and patted Natsuki's head. Natsuki groan and said, "I am not a dog!" Everyone stopped and looked at her, "Ara, ara… you like attention so much."
Natsuki blushed and crossed her arms, "whatever, I am singing next!!"
Shizuru had a sadden expression but played it off, she pick up the phone that was in the room and ordered wine for everyone. The service was fast and in minutes wine was brought to everyone. Everyone looked around wondering what was going on, "Everyone I have an announcement." Shizuru said looking at everyone.
"What that you're getting married to Kuga?" Nao said laughing at Natsuki. Natsuki got mad and glared at Nao, but everyone seemed interested in what Shizuru was going to say. "You guys have changed my views about things, and I hope that you all forgive me."
Mai whispered to Natsuki, "I thought that we were doing a cheer, it's more like a goodbye." Natsuki had a feeling that something was happening and it had to do with that phone call. "I thank you all so much, but …" Shizuru bowed, "I am leaving to another county and I would like to make a request."
Natsuki's eyes widen at what she just heard, "Your leaving?" were the words that came out of her.
"Why didn't say anything." Mai pointed out. "I'm sorry, I just found out" Shizuru said with a small smile, "I wish that you all looked after Natsuki for me. I just found out that I must leave tomorrow early, so I won't have the chance to say proper goodbye."
Shizuru tried to give a smile but she couldn't she could only see Natsuki reaction, her eyes were foggy and tears became to stream down. "Shizu…ru?" Natsuki whisper, Shizuru friends came to her and gave her hugs and pat on the back.
"Shouldn't you go there?" Mai asked, "She's your best friend."
"I am just shocked that she's leaving, even after what happened I wanted to be her friend." Natsuki said softly. "Well I have to go," Shizuru said waving. "Wait!" Natsuki ran to the girl. "I… I want you to know that you'll always be my best friend." Natsuki said feeling unease saying those words 'best friend'. She didn't know what she felt for Shizuru but the news that she was leaving gave Natsuki pain. "Okiini," Shizuru said as she placed her hand around Natsuki waist and kissed her on the forehead. Natsuki didn't expect that nor did everyone else there. "I am sorry for that, this is good bye Natsuki."
Natsuki was still blushing and watched Shizuru walk out.
