Prologue
She kissed Natsuki's lips in hunger and desperation as her hand moved in her girlfriend's clothed chest and squeezes one of the mounds. Shizuru heard a moan and it encouraged her to go further. Natsuki has been away for a week because of a seminar that needs her presence. And being away from the woman for a whole week is driving her near insanity. Good thing that Natsuki had finally comes back and prevented that for happening. Bad news is, Shizuru could no longer control the desire that was overtaking her entire being; she misses Natsuki terribly, her touch, her warm body next to hers and the sweet/ passionate kisses they always share. Even if, they always make out and inseparable, they never pass that stage yet. She had been Natsuki's girlfriend for almost a year now but they still never had sex, she even seduced the woman many times before but Natsuki had a strong control on herself, they even argued about this issue before if why her girlfriend wouldn't have sex with her and the answer she always get is that she's still young and it frustrates her sometimes. True, that Natsuki is older than her. But the difference on their age is just three years. Natsuki's twenty three while she is twenty but her stubborn girlfriend makes a big deal out of it.
Her relationship with Natsuki is a secret and only few people knows about it. Why? Simply, Natsuki is the current school director of Garderobe University, the school where she's also currently enrolled and on her third year.
"Wait ..." said Natsuki holding onto her shoulder to stop her advances. "Shizuru, this is your house."
"Ara, yes it is."
Natsuki sighed and with one swift move from the woman, she found herself lying on her back and Natsuki hovering above her. "You don't get it do you?"
"Don't get what?"
"Well, this is your house, your bedroom and we are on your bed..." A paused "... and we are in a very compromising position ..." words were cut as she wrapped her arms around Natsuki's neck and pulled the woman down for a searing kiss.
"I don't see any problem with that, we always kiss whenever we had the chance."
"But not on top of a bed!" Natsuki exclaimed. "What if your parents see us?"
Natsuki is granted with a smile of assurance and a peck on the lips. "Don't worry. My parents always knock before they enter my room."
"But still..." she cuts Natsuki off once again with a kiss as she moves her hands on the woman's shoulders, down to her girlfriend's chest and down to that flat stomach. "We should stop."
"No." she protested and inserted her left hand underneath Natsuki's shirt and touches her soft skin.
"Shizuru ... stop." Natsuki said and leans back. She pouted and looked at her girlfriend annoyed.
"Why won't you let me make love to you?"
"You're not ready!"
'This topic again' she thought. "I am ready." She said quietly and sat up on the bed and about to leave the bed when a pair of strong arms pulled her back down to bed.
"I'm sorry." Said Natsuki but she turned her head to the side to avoid the woman's eyes. "Forgive me." Whispered Natsuki on her ear followed by a kiss on her neck. "Please..."
She looked at Natsuki's eyes. "Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why won't you make love to me?"
"Because ... I want us to be married first"
"Then let's get married now or tomorrow."
"It's not that easy!" Natsuki exclaimed and disappointment can be seen on her eyes. "Sweetheart, you're still young and being tied up in a marriage at young age isn't easy, once you got married there are things that you could no longer do."
"Like what?"
"Dating... I guess..."
"But I don't want to date anyone except for you besides I'm already twenty and I know, what I want and that's to be with you ... forever." She said and looked at Natsuki sceptically. "You're the one who isn't ready to get married, aren't you?" she accused.
"What? Of course not! I want to marry you and only you."
"Then prove it." She dared, closing the distance between their lips.

"KRUGER NATSUKI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER!" an ear splitting yell, jerked Natsuki away from Shizuru.
"Shit!" Natsuki exclaimed in fright when she saw Ken Fujino. Shizuru's father standing at the doorway of her girlfriend's bedroom and glaring daggers at her, she hurriedly grabs her discarded shirt and puts it on. "You said your parents knock before entering your room?" she asked and didn't notice that Fujino Ken had left the room.
"They do..." Said Shizuru as the brunette sat up on the bed and watched her in amusement as she walks around the room in panic.
"This is not the time to be amused, Shizuru." She said and about to leave the room when Shizuru's father blocks her way.
"Where do you think you're going, Kruger?" Shizuru's father asked dangerously as he raised the shotgun he's holding and points it to her.
"Oh, shit! Shit!... Mr. Fujino ... sir, we could talk this out... it's not what you think." she said in panic and step back, away from the man.
"You don't know what I'm thinking right now, Kruger... You have no idea..."
After watching for awhile, Shizuru decided to put a stop on her father's rampage. "That's enough, Father." She said and stood in front of her girlfriend.
"W... what are you doing, Shizuru!"
Shizuru looked at her and smiled. "I'm going to protect you..."
"Step aside, Shizuru." Ken said without lowering the gun.
"No, Father. Not until you put away that gun."
"I'm sorry, Shizuru. But I'm not going to put this gun away not until Kruger says that she's going to take responsibility for what she did to you."
"But nothing happened!" She protested.
"Nothing happen? Nothing happen? That's bull****, Kruger!" Ken growled.
"But that's the truth, Mr. Fu... sir!"
Ken chuckled sarcastically. "I don't know if I'm going to believe you, Kruger... I saw you on top of my daughter almost naked. Tell me, how are you going to explain yourself with that situation?" She opened her mouth to reason out but closed it again when she couldn't think of anything. "See... I'm right..."
"Father, please..." Shizuru interjected to get her Father's attention. "You said that Natsuki must take responsibility for what she did. What exactly is your point?"
"It's very simple actually..." said Ken and smirk at her direction. "Kruger must promise to marry you... in two weeks time."
"You're crazy!" She shouted in anger.
"Ara ..." Shizuru mumbled as she turned to face her. "I'm sorry, Natsuki. But I think I'm going to agree with my Father with this."
"What?"
Shizuru smiled and put a finger on her cheek. "Well, you know that I want to marry you right?"
"W..."
"So, I'm taking this chance that my Father is offering me."
"You can't!" She howled, pulling her hair in frustration. "This is no time for your jokes, Shizuru! This is a serious matter! We are talking about marriage here."
"Why?" Shizuru asked, covering her face and started to sniff. "I thought you love me?"
Her eyes widen as she heard Shizuru sniff. "W... are you crying?"
"What do you think? She's laughing?" Shizuru's father huffed.
"Gaah! I can't believe this is happening ..." she muttered and embraces Shizuru. "Hey, stop crying. I love you..."
"Then you want to marry me, right?"
"..."
"Right?"
"I'm waiting for your answer, Kruger."
"Y... ye... I guess... well, ummm..." She let out a breath and looks up at the ceiling before turning her gaze back on Shizuru's anticipating orbs. "Alright, you win. I will marry you."
Shizuru smiled and hugged her tightly. "I love you! I love you so much!"
"I love you too, Shiz." She replied and looked at Ken. "I'll bring my mother tomorrow night so we could all talk about the things that must be done."
"That's good enough. I expect Ms. Saeko tomorrow night over dinner then?"
"Yes of course."
Satisfied, Fujino Ken left his daughter's room shooking his head in amusement and let out a light laugh as he recalled the things that had transpire in front of him. In truth, Ken likes Natsuki for his daughter because the woman loves and respected Shizuru and treats her for what she deserves. Unlike his daughter's previous suitors who were all only after her beauty, money and fame, they never really saw the real Shizuru. And it's only a bonus that he caught the two on a compromising position, that he wisely had taken advantage of, to finally tied Kruger Natsuki to his family. "Ah! The spirit of youth! I should tell Sayako about the good news."
*** Shotgun Marriage ***
"Morning, Mom." A young woman who would pass as her younger version greeted Saeko, who is sitting on the chair provided for the head of the family around the long table of Kruger household, while the younger woman sat on the other end.
"Good morning, Natsuki." she greeted back as she folded the newspaper she's reading and put it aside. And then she felt it, the tension surrounding her daughter. She looked straight at her daughter's emerald orbs, the first difference between the two of them since her eyes were grey. "What's wrong?" she asked stoically and noticed how her daughter gulped and stiffened on her seat. "So, what is it?" she asked once again and waited for the young woman to speak up.
"Are you busy tonight?"
"Yes, unless you tell me that you're getting married." She said and smiled inwardly when her daughter's eyes widen in bewilderment. I think I just hit the jackpot.
"Well, I am..."
'Oh, so she's getting married!' She thought then frowns. 'Wait a minute! Married? My little girl is getting married? This is unacceptable!'
"Pardon?" she asked with arched brow.
"I'm getting married, Mom."
Her eyes narrowed in displeasure. "Who is it?"
"Huh?"
"To whom you are going to be married with?"
"Shizuru"
'Oh, the Kyoto couples daughter. Well, that's to be expected.' "Are you talking about your Kyoto born girlfriend?"
"Yeah, and what's with the question like I have another girlfriend." Natsuki pouted making her smile inwardly.
"My apologies..." She said giggling and heard a grunt. "Well then..." a pause "how come I wasn't informed about this earlier? When did you propose? I thought you're still waiting for Shi – chan to graduate from college?"
"I didn't propose..."
'That's interesting.' She thought but didn't interrupt and waited for Natsuki to continue.
"Her father ... Mr. Fujino... caught us..."
"Caught you?" now her interests were perk. 'What could have happen?' she asked silently and listened as her daughter started telling her of what had happened at the Fujino's. "HAHAHAHAHA!" a loud laugh erupted around the dining room and a blushing Natsuki tried to cover her face in embarrassment when servants rush to the room to check if what was happening.
"Mom, shut up already!"
'Wow! That's really funny.' She thought after hearing Natsuki's story. "I guess I should congratulate Mr. Ken on his way of tying you into marriage ... A shot gun, huh?"
"You know, it's not funny to be at the receiving end of that shot gun."
"True ... but the outcome was good too, right?" she said knowingly.
"You're right. So, are you free tonight? I told Shizuru's father that I'll bring you to their house over dinner so we could talk about all the things that need to be done."
"I will be free especially if it involves the happiness of my precious daughter."
"Oh, shut up ... your embarrassing me." Said Natsuki with burning cheeks and avoided her teasing eyes. "And thanks for your support..."
"Anything for my summer princess"

Preview:
She tiptoed on her toes as Shizuru reached out her hand to grab the book she needed which was place on the top most part of the shelves inside the library one afternoon. And a smile grazes her lips when she finally got hold of the book but before she could pull it out a hand sneaks in behind her, making her squeak in surprise and lost her footing but before anything could happen to her, a strong arm encircled her waist and held her steadily.
"Easy there..." a husky familiar voice whispered on Shizuru's ear making her knees go weak and her heart to start beating faster when she felt warm breath touching her skin. "Are you alright?"
Shizuru closed her eyes tightly as she composes herself and when she's sure that she had a full control on her body. She opened her eyes and tried to free herself from the arm that was still holding her. But to her surprised, the arm that was wrapped around her tightened its hold and pulled her closer to its owner. "D... director...?"
As if broken from her own oblivion, Natsuki loosen her hold on the young woman in her arm. "Sorry..." she apologized as she reluctantly pulled her hand to her side and step back.
Shizuru turned around and smiled at the cobalt haired woman. "Thank you ..." But the young director shook her head.
"It wouldn't have happened in the first place if I didn't surprise you like that ... so I'm sorry." Said Natsuki and held out the book that Shizuru was trying to get.
Shizuru took the book and nodded. "Thank you for the help once again, Director. If you'll excuse me I'll go ahead now." She said and turned around to leave when she heard the cobalt haired woman speak, making her eyes widen in mix emotions.
"Take care, Ms. Fujino Shizuru."
'She knows my name... but how?' Shizuru thought as she continued to walks away without looking back on Garderobe University's new director.
