Prologue

I wonder how I should start this? Foolish me, I already began talking have I not? Should I babble or get directly to the point? Well, I surely know details will be needed but not even myself know enough about what I am about to tell.

This is my first time telling a tale like this and I am not a person who will simply tell my life if I haven't found it necessary. But is rude, isn't it? To keep talking and not say who I am. Pardon me, manners were never my foremost.

My name is Natsuki and that is all I am willing to say for now. For I am not ready to have everyone stare or question me. Not that it hasn't already happened, a couple of times may I say, however that is another story for later.

It all started with my friend Mai, she is lovely, too lovely to be true. She always treated me kindly and I am grateful, although now that I think about it. I believe fondness has changed to a feeling of betrayal and hatred. Mai knew all along, the truth behind my lover and I. She knew and could have spared me the confusion and pain all this time. Although, I did find out my former self was rather dense. After thinking, I now understand why she did it. Still, forgiveness is a little too far for her.

I assume you have already guessed the main plot of my tale, am I right? Yes, indeed I am going to talk about my lover and myself for there are secrets and more behind all of it.

Love at first sight wouldn't describe how I fell for my lover. I am not a cliché person or good with my feelings but enough to admit it was more than her pretty face that made me love her much more than I already did when I first saw her. Yes, my lover is a 'she' and I do not care of what you think. Since names and stares no longer does anything to me. Still, I hate when those who knew of my former relationship with my lover stare at me and give me that disapproving look. They know nothing, the pain and trials we have to go through. And no, I assure you this is not another simple story between two lesbian lovers with their problems because God told everyone love between same sex was wrong.

Because I, Natsuki, have or might have committed a sin worse than love between same sex or that is what I thought until I heard the other half of the truth I never knew.

On behalf of my unconscious lover, I will tell to those who are reading my tale.

My name is Natsuki, a single mother or that is what I thought, and until a few days I thought I was doomed to hell, to suffer for loving my lover. That is no longer my tragedy.

I thought I loved my daughter more than a mother-daughter way and so I confessed only to find out she felt the same. She and I have no shame, for we cannot deny our feelings and attraction to each other. Only when we had the courage to test our DNA did Mai tell me the truth and then the horrible accident happened.

A few of my neighbors, damn curiosity, found out about our relationship. I was out working when my love fell victim to a group of homophobes' attack. They attacked my daughter and lover. They didn't touch her, saying she was too filthy. But the shameless beasts beat her. Ruthlessly. I almost thought Death was going to take her from me.

Its been a week since the incident.

Here I am. Alone, next to her. Hoping for some improvement.

Sometimes, I hear her saying my name and all I am able to do is squeeze her hand gently. Other times, I whisper words of love to her. All to reassure her that everything would turn for the best.

I, Natsuki, was once a single mother who fell for her former daughter, Shizuru, my lover.

So like this, my tale begins.

Omake:

Everyone: -blinks- Ok…-blinks more-

Nao: why those this seems so wrong?

Natsuki: I agree with you, this sounds weird.

Shizuru: Ara? I found it interesting, Na-tsu-ki.

Mai: Is like what Mikoto and I have…

Nao: Oh please, this is nothing compared to your mother love for Mikoto.

Natsuki: Yeah –blinks- WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT! THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THAT!

Mai: I DON'T LOVE MIKOTO!

Mikoto: Mai? –teary eyes- Mai hates Mikoto? –runs away crying-

Mai: WAI-T-T! MIKOTO! I meant not as a lover! –runs for her-

Everyone: -sweat drops- righttttt.

Nao: She is damn in love with that cat.

Natsuki: Ugh…dammit…this is still feeling so wrong in so many levels…ugh dammit…

Rainee-chan: T-T I am never appreciated –cries-
