Chapter: 1 Thinking of You
Disclaimer:
I don't own the Mai-HiME characters and since this is a fan fiction site..
You should have already figured that one out, if not..I am very sorry..
you aren't a very bright individual.
Also the part:
"Shizuru is cheating on me?!"
"Oh, wait... we were never together..."
Was inspired by lostangelvn on DA's Doujinshi:
Love-Responsibility
(Stories like that make my heart melt. 3)
I am releasing this story so keeping the original author's notes except for certain things. :)
My Disclaimer I've had for ages: Please don't feel offended.
It's just how I viewed it then.

On the day Shizuru graduated from the Fuuka University,
Natsuki watched everything from a distance.
she said quietly to herself,"Shizuru... I'm proud of you."
When the raven haired beauty noticed that her friend was alone,
Natsuki made her presence known.
"Shizuru..."
The older girl turned around and smiled happily
"Ara... my Natsuki likes to surprise me."
The younger girl smiled back and replied,
"Congratulations, Shizuru..."
Natsuki then handed her a dozen roses.
"Ookini, Natsuki...they're beautiful."
Natsuki blushed over Shizuru's words.
"I've been thinking a lot lately..."
"Is something troubling you,Natsuki?"
"Shizuru... I...
Before Natsuki could say anything another girl came up and wrapped her arms possessively around Shizuru.
"Are you ready to go Shizuru?" asked an unfamiliar dark haired girl.
(Natsuki's thoughts)
"Shizuru is cheating on me?!"
"Oh, wait... we were never together..."
"Could you come back later, Hikari-Han?"
"Alright... I'll let you speak to your friend a little longer."
"Ara... what were you saying, Natsuki?"
"Are you seeing that girl, Shizuru?"
"I am seeing her but I don't think it will last..."
"Shizuru..."
"I'm going back to Kyoto in the morning..."
"Why?"
"To begin my career...I promise to come back one day.."
...
...
...
Six years later, Natsuki is working as a doctor in the Fuuka hospital.
It has been a very long time since she has seen Shizuru.
Natsuki patted her patient on his back
"You seem to be doing much better, Takumi."
"I have Akira-Kun and my sister to thank you for that!" replied Takumi.
"That's good to hear."
"Natsuki, have you heard anything from Shizuru-San?" asked Mai.
The raven haired girl crossed her arms and replied honestly,
"I haven't heard from her in 6 years, Mai.."
Mai asked once again,"What happened,Natsuki?"
"When Shizuru graduated she said that she had to leave..." Natsuki explained and tears began to fall as she continued,"I never heard from her again..."
"If you ever need a home cooked meal...come to my restaurant."
"Thanks, Mai..."
"Don't work too hard..."
"Yeah... um... thanks.."
"After work do you want to spend some time together?"
Natsuki sighs and replies, "Yeah.."
"Here's my number." Mai mentions as she hands a piece of paper with her number written on it. "Call me when your finished."
"Well... I have three hours left unless I am asked to stay longer."
"Alright, Natsuki."
"HEY KUGA!" Shouted Nao as she continued,
"You have a patient that's ready to see you!"
"Thanks, Nao.." replied Natsuki.
"Nao is a nurse?!" questioned Mai.
"I wanted to become one...and so I did."
"Ah." nodded Mai.
"I have to go check on the patient now." mentioned Natsuki.
"Good-bye, Natsuki and Nao!" yelled Mai as she ran out.
Natsuki sighed,"Why does she have to be so damn loud... it's a hospital.."
...
...
...
Natsuki was surprised when she saw the older woman... she looked very familiar...
"Hello, how may I help you?" asked Natsuki as looked over her paperwork on the woman.
"I am Fujino Kayo and I am here to have my cast removed." mentioned the older woman.
(Natsuki's thoughts)
"She has the same accent as Shizuru and her last name..."
"Could she be related to her?"
"Are you by any chance related to Shizuru?"
The older woman was now surprised,
"Ara... you know my daughter?"
"She was my best friend..." replied Natsuki.
"Oh! You must be the same Kuga-Han that she used to talk about."
"I haven't seen her in six years... how is she?"
"She has become a singer...instead of helping her father with the business.."
"Wow, I didn't know Shizuru could sing..."
"She is doing well with herself it seems.."
"Where is she living?"
"She is currently in Kyoto but I am sure that she will be in Fuuka very soon..."
"Are you sure?!" Natsuki questioned loudly.
"She has a concert at the Fuuka Theatre coming up."
"Here... let me remove your cast..."
"Ara... it won't cut me will it?"
"Of course not."
Shizuru's mother nodded and then added,
"I'll trust in you, Kuga-Han."
...
...
...
After Natsuki's shift was over she called Mai and the two went out to eat.
"So, are you still seeing Tate?"
"No... we divorced a few years back.."
"Whoa... that's a shock."
"Not really... we were growing apart anyway..."
"What happened to Mikoto?"
"Other than growing taller... she is in college now."
"Wow..."
As Natsuki was about to take a bite out of her burger,
Mai asked her a question,
"So... what really happened between you and Shizuru-San, Natsuki?"
The raven haired girl placed her burger on her tray and took a sip of her Coke.
After that she remained silent.
Mai questioned her further, "So, you had sex with her?"
Natsuki spat out her drink and spoke up,
"THAT NEVER HAPPENED!"
A bright red blush took over Natsuki's face.
(Natsuki's thoughts)
"It would have been nice..."
"What in the hell..why am I thinking such Ecchi thoughts?"
Soon people were looking over at the two of them.
"Well, what did happen?" asked Mai.
When other people stopped looking at them
Natsuki spoke up once again,
"On the day of Shizuru's college graduation...I had planned to tell her that I loved her...
but before I could say anything, Shizuru told me that she was going to Kyoto and promised to return some day..."
"Damn... and she was your first love too..." added Mai.
"Shizuru's mother was my patient today..."
"What? Really?"
"She told me that Shizuru is now a singer and she will be visiting Fuuka soon."
"Wow, we better check into this, Natsuki!"
"Check into what, Mai?"
"We should find her music and listen to it."
"That's a good idea..."
"Well, are you ready to go to the music store?"
"Yeah..."
(Natsuki's thoughts)
"I want to hear her voice so bad..."
...
...
...
Natsuki and Mai hurried to the music store.
"Mai, we don't even know what her stage name is."
"Her real name is better than nothing, Natsuki..."
Mai pulled Natsuki by the arm over towards her.
"Alright, but you can ask the guy over there." Mai pointed over at the sales clerk.
The raven haired girl adjusted her glasses and looked over at the man reading.
"Hey, wait isn't that Takeda?" Natsuki pushed the red head over towards the sales desk."YOU ask him, Mai!"
Mai put on her best smile and then asked,
"Hello, do you know of Fujino Shizuru?"
"Oh, you want to buy her CD?" answered the man.
"Yes." both Mai and Natsuki replied.
"It looks like this is the only one left...do you want it?"
"Yes!" yelled Natsuki as she grabbed the CD from his hands and cradled in in her arms.
(Natsuki's thoughts)
"Dammit he's blushing he probably recognizes me..."
Takeda smiled and then mentioned,
"She is going to be performing here in Fuuka pretty soon."
"I need to buy some tickets then..." replied Natsuki.
"They are sold out...but I made sure to get a couple special tickets."
"Dammit, Takeda what do you want for the damn tickets?"
"Natsuki, is that you!?" he looked at her with surprise in his eyes.
"BAKA! who else would it be?!" she shouted back at him.
"Well I thought you were with her..." he mentioned rubbing the back of his neck.
"You did reject me and I figured that the two of you would hit it off."
"Enough, what do you want for those tickets?" questioned Natsuki.
"Hmm... how about a kiss?" replied Takeda.
"HELL NO!"shouted Natsuki.
"Natsuki...that is the only way your going to see her." replied Mai.
"Damn... alright Takeda... one kiss."
(Natsuki's thoughts)
"You better be single Shizuru!"
"I don't want to kiss him for nothing."
The raven haired girl decked him and took his tickets.
"Ow!" Takeda said as he rubbed his cheek
"Good luck, Natsuki."
"Don't ask that of me AGAIN! " Yelled Natsuki.
"Okay, Okay.. you can't blame a guy for trying, right?" asked Takeda.
"Yes, I can." replied Natsuki as he fell over.
