Shizuru Is Out of Her Closet!

When I heard about pro golfer Tiger Woods's cheating scandal 2 weeks ago, I couldn't help but notice that all of what he hid this whole time was in his own private closet(hehehe!), as my little 11-year old brother plays golf and looked up to him as a role model the whole time. And after the fallout of this news, that gave me an idea of writing a fic of what if Shizuru revealed to the whole world that she is a lesbian? What would be the repercussions of her revealing of her sexuality? That's why this fanfic is made. Oh, and one more thing-this fic also has Shiznat in it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Mai Hime, Sunrise does. If I did then there would be a spinoff of Shiznat and could have bought maybe a two-pack action figures set of them for myself to fit my ecchi tastes(hehehe)!

Graduation day in Fuka academy showed off a hot sunny day as all of the students have taken their seats to witness the final moments of time in school. As they all endured the hot weather around them as Himeno Fumi, the newly-assigned school headmistress finishes up her final minutes of her speech to bid farewell to the students. There among the graduating crowd, the student council president, Shizuru-the next heiress to her family's business firm calmly sat still listening while her thoughts were all around different places in her mind.

It was in Shizuru's mind that she couldn't get over the horrid mess that was the Festival that forever scarred her. That night at the garden house with Natsuki…the confrontation with Haruka…everything as it seemed they were flooding back within her consciousness. Shizuru then clenched her fist within her lap and her stood normal while awaiting her diploma with the rest of the students, including council members like Haruka and Yukino. "I can't hold my true self anymore, I have to do this," She thoughtfully said.

As Fumi finished up her speech it was time the students got up and went on the stage to get their diplomas. Shizuru did likewise, as she calmly got up and followed in line with the others to get their graduating papers, but for her-the tension was growing very fast inside. Very fast enough to sweat her whole khaki uniform more than the sun could do despite the intense heat. She then walked up to the podium were Reito, Haruka, Yukino and others were in front of her in line.

"Ara, what will I do if everyone found out when I tell them all who I truly am? I may very well lose everything, even my Natsuki…" Shizuru said with total apprehension as she went towards Fumi to get her diploma and bid farewell to Fumi as Shizuru went down the stage's stairs. And finally, the ceremony was over and mostly all the students walked separately in different directions.

Shizuru said goodbyes to her friends then walked away from everyone, even to all the students present at the graduation ceremony. While she walked fast enough to get away, she put her head down in defeat as she tries to suppress the feelings that were going around her mind. She then broke down to tears near a wall of the school's buildings that were adjacent to the graduating stage.

"I must let it all out, even if it cost me everything I cared for…even for you my Natsuki." Shizuru said silently as tears spilled out from her crimson-red eyes. Shizuru had to prepare for this daunted task to get this over with and it sure won't be a pretty one to reveal about her true self as she was determined to do it sooner, if not later. After giving it careful thought, she came with the decision to "tell it like it is" with determination yet tears were still flowing from her eyes.

"Everyone, please forgive me for what I'm about to reveal to you all…And I hope Natsuki will feel the same way, too." Shizuru then ran off into the sunset with determination, yet filled mostly with apprehension as she headed back to her dorm.
