At night…

Why must she always hunt me down? Why must she always be the obstacle in my way?

I only wanted to get close… I only wanted to see her for a second, to make sure she was human… Is it really so bad for me to have feelings for her?

My face might be hard, my ways might be dark, but my heart is still alive…

And all I crave for is for her to love me back, or at least not hate me as she does. I've never tried anything against her, not once have I harmed her. I don't get why her pet must always be tracking my path, why must she keep trying to get me.

Earlier…

Today an interesting even had taken place in Fuuka academy. One young student had got close to the student president and didn't say a word.

This girl simply stood by her side all day long, ignoring the fangirls that chased the older girl. The president didn't mind, she hardly knew the girl, but had nothing against her, and she was used to the attention so instead of pushing her away, she allowed her presence, even while she took her tea she offered the new companion a cup.

This happened for no apparent reason and no one bothered to ask, the girl that by now seemed the president's bodyguard from her tough attitude and deep eyes only kept watching her, and had managed to successfully draw the fan club a few steps back, which made Shizuru rather happy.

It had all been extremely good until the red haired girl decided the only way that would make her research successful, she neared the tea-drinking girl and getting their faces closer together raised a hand.

Shizuru was rather hypnotized by those deep eyes that kept getting closer to her, all day long she had been wondering what had got this girl so close to her so suddenly and now she was a bout to find out.

Those red locks got closer to her, that young firm body was a bout to touch her and those delineated small lips would make contact with hers if this went on, and she was simply unable to stop it… Shizuru knew her heart belonged to Natsuki, but this young female was fogging her mind and there was nothing she could do about it… she wasn't being rough, her hand was raised, as if to cup her chin… She was so small and sweet with that look… So similar to a playful and shy kitten…

----------------------------------------------

Only a few minutes later…

"What the hell where you thinking? Get out! Now!" were the words the raven-haired girl that had just got into the room spoke to her.

She was now being scolded, yelled at, by nothing more than a pet, and not only that, the owner of her thoughts was now crying before her, she had made her cry. The glare she was given by Shizuru hurt her more than anything else… she had never meant to hurt her. She merely wanted to know something… to be sure…

---------------------------------------------

Back that night…

All night long, Nao was hunted by the thought that Natsuki's stupidity might be rubbing on her… She shouldn't have poked Shizuru's eye purely to see if she could cry….
