TRUTH BE TOLD

Chapter I

Who would expect that their relationship would last this long? They're polls apart yet they manage to go through anything that comes in their way. It's been like what? 2…3 years? It was not easy for her to admit her true feelings at first but when she did, it was worth it. She felt free, from then on she started living again, cause from that day she said she love her she realized she still has a reason to go on living.

They've been through a lot of up and downs, from her very calm disposition, her tea addiction (which she wont admit), her constant teasing (it's not like she dislike it), her possessiveness, they often argue about everything and anything on this planet but they always manage to make up for it.

But this current problem they're facing, she's not sure how can they work this out. And speaking of her, where on earth could she be? She said she'd be here by 7 and I've been waiting for 3 hours. "Well so much for dinner."

She stood up and started cleaning up the table. It's not like Shizuru to be late. "I bet she didn't manage to run away from her dogs."

Natsuki just shook her head. It's been like this since her parents learned about their relationship. Obviously they didn't like the idea of their daughter having a girlfriend. They asked Shizuru to stay away from her and their daughter didn't listen so comes the body guards, we've tried to run away from them so many times but it only took them 3 hours tops to find us. It's like they've put some tracking device on Shizuru . So Shizuru's used to be constant sleep over minimized. Shizuru tried almost everything; she even asked Haruka's help. That worked at first but her parents started to get suspicious when Shizuru sleeps over to Haruka's house three times a week. And when they found out about the truth men that was one of the worst days of her life.

"I don't think she's coming." She change and prepared for bed. "10:30. Damn, she could have called?" she's annoyed and worried at the same time.

She gently pushed the door open, trying not to make any sounds. She took her shoes off and slowly tiptoed towards the bedroom. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep. She gently sat beside her; she doesn't have the heart to wake her up. "Sorry if I made you wait this long." She lay beside her and gently put her arms around her trying not to disturb the sleeping beauty. She ran her hand on her hair, her eyes never leaving her face. She sighed deeply before she rested her heard on her shoulders and tried to get some sleep, she can't stay long, if her parents discovered where she is their going to lock her up permanently. It wasn't easy to escape her body guards. "If only I can stay here with you my Natsuki."

"You have a choice you know." Natsuki mumbled eyes still close.

"Ara? Did I wake you up? I'm sorry go back to sleep." She pulled her closer.

"No, I mean it Shizuru" she pushed her a little. "I was thinking" now she's fully awake. "Why don't you-Why don't you just come with me?"

She wasn't expecting that "what do mean Natsuki?" she's staring to feel uneasy about this.

"From the very beginning we both know your parents won't approve about this relationship. Think about it it's not just your parents it's the world you're in." Natsuki sounded a little frustrated.

Shizuru silently agreed with her but she can't admit it out loud. "Then what does Natsuki suggest? That we run away and forget about all of this?" she straighten and looked directly at her. "Where shall we go then that my parents won't find us?"

Natsuki fell silent.

"I know our situation right now is complicated but we'll get through this. Ok? Let's take one step at a time." She brushes few strands of her hair away from her face.

"*sigh* The longer and the more steps we take the more complicated it becomes, we just might find our selves lost." She held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You know that this thing that we have is the only thing that I have and I don't want to lose it…And I don't want to lose you." She pulled her into an embrace trying hard to stop her self from crying.

Shizuru still can't think straight all this time she had no idea that Natsuki is feeling this way. She never said anything to her, just now. She strokes her back. "Ara-ara Natsuki knows how much I love her…You will never lose me." She pulled her back to bed "I never thought my puppy could be this sweet *smirk*."

"Wha-I wa- was" Shizuru can always find time to tease her no matter what the situation is. "Why do you always do that?" she tried to hide her face under the sheets.

"Do what my Nat-su-ki?" acting innocent.

"Teasing me out of the blue?" mumbled.

"Ara? So Natsuki dislikes my teasing?" she moved away from Natsuki and acted hurt. "Don't worry my Natsuki starting this very minute I will no longer tease you." She said with a tone of finality.

"Wha-! No! You know that's not why I meant." She pushed the covers away. " Oi-Shizuru" she poke her shoulders still she got no reaction from the ex-kaichou. "C'mon." she gave her, her best puppy eyed look.

Shizuru tried so hard not to give in. "Natsuki said it her self, she doesn't like me teasing her." She bit her tongue to stop her self from laughing.

Natsuki started to panic, she kneeled on the bed. "Please I'm sorry."

"And?"

"Umm. Ano-uh Ilikeitwhenyouteaseme" she mumbled.

"Ara, I didn't seem to understand that, maybe Natsuki should say it more clearly."

Natsuki took a deep breath before she spoke… clearly this time "I like it when you tease me, but not in front of a lot of people."

"And why is that if I may ask?" it's getting harder to control her self, still she acted calm, she crossed her arms on her chest.

"It's k-kind of embracing at it-it ruins my image "she looked away to hide her embracement even if she knows she can't hide it from her, especially when the redness of her face became even more evident.

Shisuru can no longer control her self she let out a hard laugh. " Fu-fu-fu, it's alright my Natsuki" she tried to control her laughter first before she speaks again "I want to be the only one to see my cute little puppy's blushes *smirk*"

Feeling defeated Natsuki lay back to bed "gaaahhhh! Woman sometimes I just can't tell when your serious or not." She turned her back at Shizuru.

"Now-now my Natsuki's mad again. Come here" she poke her side, Natsuki just brush her hand off "'C'mon now" she moved closer and gave her neck a peck. Natsuki just stay still. "If Natsuki won't talk to me maybe it's better if I just leave."

"Then go" Natsuki mumbled still not moving "I'm getting use to it anyway."

For the second time that night Natsuki caught her off guard. "Natsuki I-"she doesn't know what to say she move closer and put her arms around her "Natsuki knows its hard for me too" she gave her neck a gentle kiss.

Realizing her mistake she turned to face Shizuru and returned her embrace "sorry" she nuzzled into her neck savoring the warmth that only Shizuru can give.

Shizuru cupped her chick and moved until their lips met. Her lips are the sweetest thing she ever tasted it only took a few moment before Natsuki answered her kiss. "I don't want to lose you" she murmured between the kiss.

"You wont" Natsuki catches her breath first before she spoke again "I will not give up easily on you." She caught her lips again this time for a deeper and more passionate kiss.

What Natsuki did sent desire all over her. She wants her; she needed her, "Natsuki…" She needs to control her self. Right now what matter is to make Natsuki feel her love.

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" Natsuki said after taking some time to breathe looking intently at her face.

Shizuru was about to say something when the clock strikes 12. "Natsuki…I'm sorry I-I can't stay long."

"Oh." Natsuki felt a little disappointed "You better get ready then." She moves away from Shizuru giving her room to move. She was about to move out of bed when Shizuru pinned her back to bed "Hey! I thought you're leaving?" she tried to get free but Shizuru tightened her grip.

"Ara-ara my Natsuki wasn't listening I said I can't stay long… but I didn't say I'm leaving already." She gently ran her finger on Natsuki's face down to her neck. Her lips followed the traces of her fingers. She was pleased when she heard her moan. "My Nat-su-ki. You'll have to stay up late for tonight…much…much…late *smirk*"

Shizuru will make sure that she'll make up for the times that she was gone…

_____________________________________________________________________________________

She's not sure if it's right to leave Natsuki without saying goodbye but she doesn't have the heart to wake her up, she was so exhausted. It's only 4 o'clock her parent's must still be asleep. She was about to open the door when the light on the porch turned on and the door opened immediately.

"Don't say anything young lady we know where you've been." Mr. Fujino said.

"If you really know where I've been father then why didn't you send your dogs to pick me up?" she answered back.

Mr. Fujino calmly spoke "They where following you from the moment you left this house until you're back here safely. I gave then instructions to leave you alone with that wretch for awhile."

"How considerate of you father for giving me a little privacy." She's sure there's more to it.

"I hope you enjoyed you're time child because that is going to be the last, I'll make sure of it. And don't you dare defy me child you know what I can do and I hope I won't see the day that you'll regret it." He didn't wait for Shizuru to answer he went upstairs in haste.

In her room Shizuru begun to think. She knows how ruthless her father is. He might do something to Natsuki if she won't follow him. Then she remembered something. She took out her phone. It's a good thing her parents didn't think of confiscating her cell phone. She fast dialed Natsuki's number "Hello Natsuki? About what you said awhile ago? Yes. I'm coming with you, I'll call you again for the details, I can't linger on the phone right now… yes…I love you." She turned her phone off. She took a deep breath to calm her self a little bit. "I hope it's all worth …Yeah for Natsuki…It's all worth everything."
