Deep sea - Mai hime by ~xcryx

My name is Natsuki Kuga, and I'm running away from Fukka with my girlfriend, Captain Viola.

"Hey slow down you rut!" a man yelled when he was almost ran over.

Natsuki ignored the man and the other complaining growls as she ran through the town square, her bag hitting her back as she jumped over a barrier of rum near a shop.

"Please God, let her still be there," she whispered with a few curses.

Flashback

Natsuki sat on a small round table in the garden outside of her house, and crossed her arms with a small growl. "Stupid dress..." she grumbled as she glared at the dress she was wearing.

The dress she wore was navy blue with a black vest, hugging tightly to her hip that showed her nice curves and well kept body.

"I heard Miss Maria gave permission to Takeda san to marry you?" asked a woman with brownish hair, sitting beside Natsuki, reading a book.

Natsuki growled again. "Never! If that idiot thinks I'll marry him, he's damn wrong. And Miss Maria, I mean, mom, was being nice to him! How can you say no to a kight with two huge guards behind him?" Natsuki asked flcking her blue hair behind her shoulder.

"Besides," she said, looking toward the ocean. The brown haired girl raised an eyebrow. "I think Takeda was waiting for you to graduate from Garderobe Temple," the brown haired girl spoke with a chuckle.

"Yeah, that idiot thinks he'll get me in bed and all, but he can go stick hi-" a cough interrupted Natsuki as Miss Maria walked in with a stroll, stopping beside Natsuki.

The Natsuki bit her lip, and turn slightly red. The brown haired girl suppressed a giggle, and sent an apologetic smile to the blue haired girl when she recieved a glare.

"Takeda wishes to talk to you, Natsuki," Maria said, patting Natsuki shoulder.

"Whatever you think about Takeda, I'm not buying anything. " Natsuki said, staring deep into Miss Maria's eyes.

"But Natsuki," Miss Maria sighed, "why not give him a chance?"

"A chance!" Natsuki said, stranding up abruptly. "Yeah right! He wants to marry me for God's sakes, and I'm just 18!" Natsuki exclaimed, pacing in front of Miss Maria with a growl.

"Natsuki! He is a well mannered man and he is the prince of our Neir island and he wishes to have a princess."

"He can marry any woman he wants! I do not wish to-!"

"Natsuki san!" Takeda called, walking in with his usual smile, a small blush on his cheeks as he stared at Natsuki. He wore the normal prince clothing with armor, his sword strapped to his hip, and a cape over his shoulder.

"My lady," he whispered grasping Natsuki's hand and kissing it. Natsuki scowled, pulling her hand back.

"What you want, Takeda?"

Takeda smiled, grasping her hand. "I came to take you for a date, my lady. "

Natsuki snatched her hand once more. "I'm sorry Takeda, but you must have this wrong. I am not marrying you, and I'm not your woman! Why don't you understand that I love some one else? And that I want nothing to do with you!" Natsuki patically yelled, then ran away as she best as she could.

Takeda stood there in shock, but the brown haired woman placed a hand on his shoulder. "Relax my prince, she must be scared. You know how Natsuki can be."

Takeda smiled and nodded. "You're right. She must be scared having to deal with her graduation. Garderobe sure builds stress over her. But no need to worry! I will take good care of her!"

Miss maria could only be silent as she stared in the direction where Natsuki had run off. Nodding at Takeda, she said, "Yes my prince."

Natsukis room

Natsuki threw away the dress she wore, and it fell on top of the bed. She pulled male shorts up to her hips, and tied them with a belt that was blue with a silver buckle and a picture of a wolf carved over the metal piece. She wore a black button shirt with a black vest open.

"Damit! How could he..." Natsuki growled under her breath. She clenched her hands as she paced back and forth in her bedroom. "How dare he!"

"What seems to be annoying my Nat-su-ki?" a voice from behind Natsuki asked. "Ara, and I see Natsuki grew quite found of the clothes I brought for her."

Natsuki fast turned around and blushed madly. "Sh-Shizuru!What have I told you about sneaking in my room?"

The said young woman placeda hand on her hip with a smile, her pirate hat tipping a bit over her red eyes as she gazed at the blue haired girl.

Shizuru pouted. "But, 'my lady,' didn't you miss my prescence?" Natsuki blushed brighter, earning a smirk from the brown haired woman. "Because I missed you,"she whispered, her hand stroking Natsuki's.

"Why are you here Shizuru? I thought you were leaving," Natsuki asked, looking away and grasped Shizuru's hand.

"I came for you, Natsuki. You know we love each other.
And that we need each other to suvive. I want you to come with me. Become a pirate, leave this place. Become the strongest Hime in the sea along side me," Shizuru whispered,
her body against Natsuki's. Natsuki was gently pushed against the wall, her green eyes glued to Shizuru's red ones.

Natsuki grasped the front of Shizuru's jacket. "I...don't know. Shizuru...I can't just leave out of the blue."

"Please, Natsuki, I need you."Shizuru said, pressing her forehead against Natsuki's.

"I... I need time to think, Shizuru."

"I leave tomorow night, Nasuki, the same night of your graduation. And the same night Takeda will propose to you," Shizuru whispered as she kissed Natsuki softly on the lips.

Natsuki eyes went wide. 'My...first kiss..' she thought as her eyes slowly closed, returning the kiss, her arms going wrapping around Shizuru's neck.

'Is this...what i want? To be with Shizuru?'

"Shizuru...I'll...give me time," Natsuki said through the kiss.

Red eyes opened to stare at the green ones as they broke the kiss."Tomorrow night, go to the docks. I'll be waiting. If you don't...then...I'll understand, " Shizuru said, going in for another kiss as the door opened.

The door swung open and someone yelled, "Natsuki!"
