Prologue

The dark night had already covered the city of Windbloom and the Academy of Garderobe. The dorms' lights were off, each student drowning in a peaceful sleep. Outside, some leaves were playing with the wind, before it gently replace them on the ground. As you look up at the hill, you could clearly see the Gakuencho's office, barely hiding by the threes. The lights were on. Let's take a look closer, shall we ?

Biting her lower lip and playing with the pen between her slender fingers, Natsuki's emerald eyes flew between the documents before her, who were lying on her desk. Sighing, the Gakuencho signed the document, hardly listening to what the other occupent of her office was saying. She looked at the clock beside her phone.

' Already midnight..?'

" ...and the reconstruction of the-.."

" Miss Maria.." interupted the second piliar, resting her eyes on the elder Otome. " We shall continue all of this paperwork tomorrow morning. It's late and Queen Mashiro is coming tomorrow afternoon. You are dismissed." The grey haired woman lifted a thin eyebrow, looking at the younger one. " Very well then, Gakuencho. Goodnight."

" Goodnight." responded Natsuki as she puts her pen down and the document together.

As she make her way to the door, the eldery stopped and looked back. "Oh and Natsuki-san... "

"Hm..?"

" Sleep in your bed tonight, not in the couch of your office." With that said, she left.

Looking at the now closed door, the bluenette shifted her eyes towards the couch, were a light blancket was folded on the armchair. Getting up, she closed the light before exiting her office. She sighed. " I'd like that..."

Taking off her jacket, she headed toward the end of the hall, where an other wooden door was. Taking a deep breath, she opened it, stepping into her dark appartement. She dropped it on a white couch and taking off her shoes, she walked toward a door. The bright light from the room make her growl a little.

" Natsuki?"

Adjusting her eyes, they fell on the third pillard, Shizuru Viola. The woman was wearing a light purple nightgown and a book was placed on her legs. She was sitting in their king sized bed, under the red covers.

" I thought..that you were asleep" said the blue-haired woman. Red eyes followed her as she enters their connected bathroom.

" I was waiting for Natsuki " came the calm reply.

Closing the door, the Gakuencho stared at her reflection in the mirror before her eyes dropped on her nightclothes wich were a black boxer and a matching tank top. After changing, she washed her face and teeth ,took off her hairclip and as she openend the door, she was facing the older woman. Taking a step back, she gulped down her saliva as she watched red eyes burning her soul. Breathing for her was becoming difficult and she felt something twitch in her stomach.

"Sleep with me tonight." whispered Shizuru as she took a trembling hand in her own.

"I.." Her heart was pounding in her chest and something get caught in her troath. There was a silence during which the two women looked deeper in each other eyes, searching for something. Love, betreyal, anger, forgivness...They didn't know.

Looking away, Shizuru sighed before returning back to the bed. Biting on her tongue, the blue-haired woman sighed heavily as she watched the brunette facing away from her. She opened the door of their bedroom, taking a glance toward the figure in the bed. " I'm sorry "And she closed the door, her heart burning and hurting like hell as she sat on the couch, the darkness taking her in her arms. She wished that she never heard the strangled cry from the other side.

Yeah I know... what a F****** cliffhanger ! ^^ See you next time !
