Why?

"Why?"

A vein popped, "Oi! I don't know why!"

"But Yuuki-san…"

"That Spider couldn't tell her right from her left! Why are you listening to her all of the sudden anyways?!"

"…"

"O-o-oi! Don't cry!" A pair of hands flailed as the young woman tried to calm the other.

"But you're yelling at me! I was just trying to find out what happened, but all I get is yelling." The older of the two women sobbed uncontrollably.

Brow twitching, the younger was at a loss. So when in doubt go with the hut… gut! That's what Haruka had said wasn't it? So a step to close the gap. Another to wrap the other in a warm embrace and a third? Whisper sweet calming words into her ear? Or wait was there another… Too late now anyways, "Shhh, Shizuru, its okay. I didn't mean to yell." Running her hand gently down honey tresses, Natsuki took a step back. Instead of the famous death glare she found herself offering her companion the 'only for Shizuru smile/cute puppy look'.

Shell shocked surely, Shizuru could only stare dumbfounded. She hadn't expected this. A few blushes, followed by cute cursing, but a hug and now that lopsided smile? She must have died and gone to heaven.

Gaze now averted – that adorable blush rising – Natsuki mumbled, "Just… next time ask me okay? I don't trust what that Spider tells you. I mean I understand if you don't want to but… just… you know… in case…."

Shizuru decided to save Natsuki the embarrassing explanation by drawing her back into a hug – reciprocating the actions Natsuki had done just moments ago, "Shhh, it is okay Natsuki, I'm sorry. Next time I promise I will ask you first."

"Heh, thanks Shizuru." The moment of silence lasted… well only a moment, "Shizuru?"

"Hai?"

"Hands above the waist."

"Fufufu, gomen."

…

"Ah! Not there either!"

"But Natsuki said…"

"I know what I said! I'm changing it!"

"…"

"Ah! Don't cry! I'm sorry! Hands… hands are okay…"

"Ara…"

So what exactly was it that Shizuru had asked a certain Spider rather then her adorable pup? Well that's simple! Okay… so maybe it wasn't simple. Or at least it was simple to Shizuru anyways. Natsuki on the other hand found it a very complex issue.

Why in the world her girlfriend would be asking that Spider about something like that was lost on the poor lone wolf. Why go to Nao about edible lingerie! Didn't Shizuru already know all there was to know on it?!
