A/N - Hello all, this is my first time writing for the Mai-hime, otome universe. I've always loved otome and felt that it needed continuing, with an extra dash of yuri (if that's even possible) So I hope you enjoy my first chapter, and I hope it's enough to indulge your thirst so you keep coming back to read.
The Gakuencho
Natsuki let out a heavy sigh and fell back in her chair as Miss. Maria finally left her office after a hard four hours of drilling and questioning about the school. She closed her eyes briefly and wondered why on earth she accepted the position of Gakuencho all those years ago, if she knew her job involved a hyperactive queen and her otome, and not to mention several attempts at world destruction or take over, she never would have taken the job.
Natsuki opened her eyes and looked at the several stacks of papers left by Miss. Maria on her desk; she could immediately feel the start of yet another headache approaching. In times like this though, there were always two things that cheered her up, one was hidden away in the bottom drawer of her desk, and the other was out on a mission due to arrive back the next week. Seeing as one of those things wasn't here, and the fact that that "thing" never let Natsuki have the thing in her drawer, she quickly reached for her drawer. She grabbed the bottle of mayonnaise and stared at it in awe, she would have hugged it too, but Shizuru had beaten the habit out of her, literally. She flicked the red cap open and squeezed some out onto her finger, and tasted the morsel; Natsuki closed her eyes in pure bliss as she ate the mayonnaise.
Her bliss was interrupted though as someone knocked at her door. With a grunt she closed the lid and put the bottle back into the drawer. They knocked on the door again, with more enthusiasm this time. She gathered some papers near her, to make it look like she was doing some work and proceeded with a clear
"Enter." Whoever walks through that door is not getting whatever they've come here for; no one disturbs my lunch
The door opened slightly and a set of bright blue eyes peered through the door. Natsuki rolled her eyes realising who it was. Arika stood outside the doorway, too scared to enter else she received a yelling at like she did the last time she entered the Gakuencho's office without knocking or announcing her presence. Shinso knows how many times the girl's loud yelling at something trivial had given Natsuki a headache.
"Um...Gakuencho?" Arika mumbled.
"Arika move!" The door flew open as Arika fell forward on her face, (with an obvious footprint on her backside) and Mashiro stepped over her and into the office settling herself in a chair.
"Mashiro you didn't have to kick me that hard!" Arika whined as she got up.
"Well if you weren't so slow-"
"I'm not slow! You're slow!"
Natsuki sighed again, calming herself before she exploded at the two. She coughed to get their attention.
"What are you two here for?"
"Well, you see, the thing is-" Arika started
"No."
"But you haven't even heard what I'm asking for."
"No."
"But-"
"No, simple as that."
"Just hear her out Gakuencho" said Mashiro.
"No, because every time the two of you come in here asking for something, I always have to sort out the mess that's caused as a result of your otome powers." Arika opened her mouth to speak but Natsuki quickly interrupted her "And no Arika, flying around town buying sweets for Mashiro is not a proper use of your otome powers, however nice the gesture. Are we clear?"
"But it's important this time" Arika whined.
"I said no-" she was interrupted by another knock at the door. Natsuki looked at the two, giving them silent looks for them to be on their best behaviour. "Enter" she exclaimed a bit more fiercely than usual. In walked Shizuru, graceful as ever and Natsuki smiled widely immediately.
"Shizuru" she said in surprise and happiness.
"I got back a bit earlier than expected" Shizuru explained as she smiled to Natsuki.
"Shizuru-oneesama!" Arika yelled as she leapt to hug her.
"Ara hello Arika-chan, Mashiro-chan. What are you two doing here?" For a brief moment Natsuki swore she saw them glance evilly to each other.
"Mou, we're only here to ask the Gakuencho if Arika can skip their training sessions tomorrow so we can go visit to Aries." Arika nodded enthusiastically
"That's right! Aoi-San wants to go visit Chie-Sempai, but she won't admit it because she says she can't leave Mashiro and I alone." Damn right Natsuki thought."So our idea is that if we go to Aries on a political visit, she'll have to come along, and then she can see Chie-Sempai!" Shizuru patted the young girl on the head.
"That's a lovely idea you two." Shizuru looked at Natsuki, and the Gakuencho could immediately tell Shizuru was in her teasing mode; there's no escape now. "Ara Natsuki, frown anymore and I'm afraid you might become a young Miss. Maria." The other two nodded in agreement. "Why don't you let Arika-chan skip your training tomorrow so they can go to Aries? After all, who are we to come in the way of love?"
"But Arika needs the proper training in order to control-" Natsuki started but stopped when Shizuru gave her that adorable look that made Natsuki give in to any demand the ArchMeister wanted. "Oh alright then."
"YAY! Gaukencho you're the best!" Arika yelled and ran around the desk to hug Natsuki, who returned the hug after her initial moment of shock.
"Now shouldn't you two go inform Aoi-san about where you're going tomorrow?" Shiruzu said.
"That's right! Come on Arika."
"Hai!" The younger pair bounced out of the office with talks about what they would bring and what fun they would have.
The door closed, and Shizuru slumped her shoulders ever so slightly, and sat on the large red sofa in the office. Only in the presence of her beloved did Shizuru ever show signs of tiredness or weakness, but that's only because she trusts Natsuki with everything that she is; there would never be a misuse of that trust. The Gakuencho smiled again, she couldn't help it, when Shizuru's with her she can't help but smile all the time, who wouldn't? She stood up and poured a cup of tea and went over to sit next to Shizuru.
"Here, you look tired. Probably because you haven't had your fix yet." she handed the cup to her, which was accepted and drunk immediately.
"Ah, okkini Natuski." Shizuru put the cup down on the coffee table. "But there's one more fix of mine I haven't had in a while." Shizuru leaned in closer to Natsuki, placing a hand on her thigh.
"What's that?" the Gakuencho whispered, her voice a bit deeper than usual.
"You know." They moved in towards each other, their bodies completely in contact with one another, and kissed. In that one kiss they communicated everything, their passion, their hearts and their love. Nothing else existed to them in that one moment except for the feel of the other's lips on theirs. Finally with reluctance, Natsuki pulled away.
"I missed you" Natsuki whispered.
"I missed you too" Shizuru kissed her lightly on the nose before sitting back to pour herself another cup of tea. Even just seeing Shizuru perform the simple act of pouring tea, Natsuki couldn't help but feel a sense of completion. She couldn't help but think, yes, this is life at its greatest, with her love by her side and no worries at all, Natuski couldn't be happier.
"What are you thinking?"
"Eh? Oh nothing, nothing."
"You're blushing. Is my Natsuki having dirty thoughts? Ara you're just like an old man."
"I am not an old man. Nao is more of an old man than I'll ever be." They both chuckled lightly, until a thought popped into Natsuki's mind. "How come you're back from your mission early?"
"Aswad helped me locate the Black valley. By myself locating it should have taken two days, but with their directions I found myself there in a few hours."
"That's good; at least things with the Aswad and Garderobe are finally friendly now."
"Yes, did you know their Leader, Midori-san, is close friends with Youko-san?"
"Really? They act like they don't know each other whenever I see them" Natsuki said bemused. "What about your mission though?"
"I checked all the locations where the CHILDs appeared, and all don't show any signs of unusual activities, everything is normal." Natsuki returned to set at her desk in her large red chair and she quickly wrote a note. Shizuru took another sip of her tea. This was how their "normal" days were spent, when neither of them had to leave the other for some tedious mission or meeting, Natsuki would work and Shizuru would help where she could and go in and out of the school checking up on things. It was a simple routine, but with how busy they've been, not to mention the recent events of Shizuru being captured and turned to stone, they appreciated these quiet days they had together more so than before.
Especially Natsuki, Natsuki had changed completely.
Their relationship, though not completely world knowledge or out properly, they didn't deny it didn't exist, simply no one ever had blatantly asked them. Having dated since their early Garderobe years they had somehow managed to keep their relationship a secret, except for a select few they trusted. Somehow though, almost every otome that had passed through the school had heard of rumours about them (most likely spread by Nao). The story of how the romantic and flirtatious Shizuru Viola had managed to seduce the young and innocent Kruger being the most popular story, but there were many different versions of the tale and there was never any truth to any of them. So after the initial excitement had passed, the rumours of their relationship had just become speculation (much to Natsuki's relief) and they were able to date in peace. Natsuki welcomed her quiet lifestyle, and Shizuru didn't mind so long as she was with her love, so eventually they both never bothered with officially outing themselves, it had become an issue put to the back of their minds.
Things changed though. After Shizuru was captured and help captive by Tomoe, Natsuki realised she didn't want the world to guess about them, she wanted the world to know about them, so that everyone would know just how much she was in love with the ArchMeister. Something clicked in her mind, and nothing else mattered but Shizuru being with her. She couldn't have cared less about what gossip was spread, or who talked about them, or the attention she garnered, all she wanted was Shizuru back. During that time she actually broke down in tears twice, once with Nao (who actually managed to comfort her), and the other time with Ein-oneesama (who comforted her, then groped her), they of course promised never to tell though. So when Shizuru reappeared during the fight, Natsuki was ecstatic, elated! She ran to Shizuru, to hug her, but soon the guilt kicked in, the feeling of gut wrenching guilt that made her halt her steps; she didn't allow herself to touch Shizuru, she couldn't. All she could do was stand there and apologise, and force the tears back.
Natsuki's thoughts wondered over to the memory of that day and she shivered slightly; the guilt still haunts her.
"Shizuru" she whispered, looking up with a sad expression.
"Yes Natsuki?"
"I'm sorry..." Shizuru's concentration seemed to lapse as she let out a rare look of confusion, mostly slight shock, but she bounced back.
"Whatever for?"
"For...for putting you in danger all the time." Shizuru didn't need to ask what Natsuki meant; she knew what the ice princess was beating herself up about. Shizuru put her cup down and made her was over to Natsuki. She went around to Natsuki's side of the desk and sat of the edge, placing a hand on her lover's cheek. Then she smiled, a smile that is reserved only for Natsuki, it was so much more beautiful than her usual smile she gave everyone else; it made Natsuki's heart soar.
"Natsuki, I willingly go into these missions. My love these are my choices, so you shouldn't blame yourself for anything."
"But still-"
"Natsuki I would do anything for you. I would endure any punishment or hardship given to me so long as I know you're safe and well. It matters not what happens to me."
"It matters to me though." Shizuru bent down to kiss her on the forehead lightly. That simple kiss seemed to work, and Natsuki felt her guilt temporarily wash away. "Natsuki is too kind."
They stayed like that in comfortable silence for a moment more, content with simply holding each other. Natsuki turned her head to kiss Shizuru's hand lightly then held it with her own, swinging it playfully.
"Neh, Shizuru, want to head home?" she asked with a childlike innocence, and Shizuru imagined that if she were a puppy her tail would be wagging around excitedly from side to side.
"Ara ara, but doesn't my Natsuki have plenty of work to do? Miss. Maria will get very mad if it's not done, and Viola-sensei may find out, then I'm afraid Natsuki might get punished for being such a rebellious student.
I just might have to punish my Natsuki for being so rebellious," she teased. Natsuki blushed a deep crimson, as memories of when she was last "punished" by Shizuru popped into her mind. She gulped, but managed to quip back
"But Shizuru I have something much more important to 'do' at home" she said with a grin. "I suppose I could work though, and not do that other thing till later, much, much later, why I might just forget to do it at all." Natsuki had realised she had won when Shizuru gave a pout of defeat, but the ArchMeister leaned in close to Natsuki's ear and whispered
"You won't forget to do anything at all, because we're going home now, and I'm going to remind you many, many times." Getting what she wanted Natsuki led Shizuru out of their office and back home.
Deep in the underground laboratory Yohko and Irina were conducting yet another experiment. Wires, cables and tools adorned the floor as they both stood near a large table containing a metallic pen like object. This particular invention was created as par the request of the Gakuencho, only to be used in times of need. If the main connection to Fumi disconnected, and the booster charges ran out the pen would provide one last burst of energy allowing the columns to remain in their otome form for a further five minutes.
"Sensei I think we're done!" Irina cheerfully exclaimed, taking off her goggles. "Let's test it out right away!"
"I'm not sure Irina if that would be wise. We'd first need a large isolated area and a willing otome to try it out." Yohko too took off her goggles and rubbed her temples with her hand. After all that had happened this invention had to be perfect if she were to regain everyone's trust. Of course everyone treated her normally but it seemed she was being watched all the time. Natsuki often made it the most obvious when she asked that Irina or Miss. Maria, Fumi forbid, to tag along whenever she had to do Garderobe related research. Yohko did not blame Natsuki, or anyone really, it was understandable. Her main objective in becoming a researcher here was to access the famous Garderobe technology to help the Aswad, but she found herself loving the place, the people, and the new life she had attained. She wanted their trust back, more importantly she wanted her friends back. "Nevermind Irina, it's late. Let's stop for now and carry on tomorrow."
"But-"
"Irina as much as I appreciate your help and enthusiasm you're a student first and I happen to know that you have an early training session tomorrow" said Yohko triumphantly.
"Hai" Irina whined as she made her way out of the laboratory all the while muttering how there was no point even being in otome school if she was going to become a researcher.
Alone in the lab Yohko sighed and sat on the table holding the pen. She was close, she could feel it, but to test it now would be too dangerous should it go wrong. The lab was dark, with only the giant computer screen and various lights and switches illuminating the room. Having worked in the same lab for a good while now she was accustomed to every computer sound, every whir of a gear, every flash of light. So when she heard the fall of an object clash on the hard metallic fall she knew it wasn't by accident.
"Who's there?" she shouted her hand placed near the emergency buzzer on the table. From the out of the shadow a lone figure appeared. Yohko frowned at herself, she was getting sloppy if she couldn't even tell there was a person with a mass of red hair hiding behind her.
"Yohko" Midori said monotonously.
"Midori what are you doing here?"
"I arrived here this afternoon with the Bewitching Smile Amethyst."
"Have you been hiding there since this afternoon?"
"No I hid in several places in the lab since this afternoon. You should have been able to notice me." Midori walked to the opposite end of the table and Yohko could feel her pulse racing at the sight of the intensity in Midori's eyes. She was partly scared, partly curious at what Midori was doing here. This was no longer the cheerful companion she had once known, before her was Midori the leader of the Aswad, an unpredictable, unreadable entity. Despite her anxiousness though and all the Aswad talk of revenge, she knew deep down Midori would never hurt her.
"Well it seems my Aswad tracking skills aren't up to par."
"It's because you spend so much time in this dark lab" Midori smirked. "I'm surprised that you're still in shape considering how little you exercise any part of your body that isn't your mind." Yohko blushed lightly at the comment but she quickly brushed it aside.
"You still haven't answered me why are you here?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I don't."
"There must be something Midori. People I haven't seen in Fumi knows how many years don't just suddenly pop up in my lab. Did something happen? Are you ok? Is your GEM acting up?" Yohko instinctively moved over to the other side of the table and took Midori's hand, examining the GEM.
"I'm fine, everything is fine," Midori hastily answered taking her hand away.
"Then what is it?"
"God Yohko is this why you're a researcher? You ask so many damn questions! I just felt like seeing you ok?" They both stared at each other in mild surprise, Midori cursing herself for the fact that she had lost her cool and Yohko for not even thinking that was the reason Midori was here.
"Ok." Yohko started to chuckle
"What's so funny?"
"Did you know that this is the first time that we've actually talked together properly without anyone else? Someone is usually always with us because every time I see you it's in a professional context. We're either with the Gakuencho or Rad is here."
"We haven't talked in a while have we?" Midori muttered, but Yohko could sense the sadness in her voice.
"I'm sorry Midori, it's my fault." Midori quickly looked to her and raised her hand up silencing her.
"Stop Yohko, I don't want to talk about the past right now. I came to see you, so can we just focus on other things because I'm still trying to cope with the shock of seeing you again." Yohko nodded, this was one of times that she couldn't push Midori no matter what her own conscious was feeling. Midori processed things one at a time, whilst Yohko always rushed to the solution, not this time though, she would work at Midori's pace.
"So what have you created this time?" Midori asked picking up the pen.
"Ah be careful!" Yohko yelled and quickly snatched it out of her hand. "This hasn't been tested yet and could explode any moment for all we know."
"Then wouldn't it make sense if I hold it? After all I'm use to these sort of things unlike a certain Aswad researcher who can't even run a mile now." They both started to laugh. The past could be brought up another time Yohko thought. For now at least there was someone who trusted her, who still called her a friend and that's all that matters.
The sounds of chains rattling echoed through the dark halls as a prisoner was escorted to a safe area. Two guards stood by her sides holding onto her arms tightly, dictating the pace they walked at. The prisoner flicked her green hair purposely at one of them and she laughed at his dispense as he tried to remain serious. They arrived in a bright room with a table and two chairs and she sat down at one end. The guards left, but not before securing her shackles and chains onto the desk, ensuring she wouldn't be able to move. Finally another figure dressed in a long trench coat and hat walked in and sat down opposite her. Tomoe couldn't see the figure's face completely, the hat was in the way. The figure remained quiet and didn't move.
"Well go on, talk then. What newspaper wants to do a piece on the Valkyrie otome now?" Tomoe said with a certain sense of irritation and pride. "You can talk, I won't bite, I can't even move." She pulled on her chains for emphasis. Finally the figure looked up and took their hat off and their light brown hair cascaded down. "You." Tomoe exclaimed in shock. Of all the people that she thought would visit her, she most definitely didn't expect Miya Clochette.
"Hello Tomoe-san" Miya said weakly. She knew she shouldn't have come.
"What? No more Chan? I'm disappointed Miya." The girl remained silent "What do you want?"
"I'm here to talk to you about matters concerning your release."
"My release? I thought I was going to be locked in here until I was an old maid. What changed?"
"I changed my testament against you." Tomoe raised her eyebrow in curiosity "In hindsight I see that I can't blame you completely for what happened. You tricked me and put the blame on me, but I had a choice and I went along with you just to hurt Arika."
"Surely you're testament alone isn't enough to get rid of my sentence."
"It wasn't only me" Miya paused "Shizuru-oneesama changed hers as well and she encouraged me to do the same. With the both of us and the acknowledgement that you were an otome, you're sentence has been radically reduced. You'll be released in two months time." Tomoe shook her head in disbelief and she slammed her hands down on the table.
"Why?! I don't need your help. I don't need yours or Shizuru-oneesama's pity!"
"The only condition is that afterward you are to return to Garderobe and continue your training" Miya continued, standing her ground. There was a time that she was scared of the green haired girl, but she realised now that her anger was just a projection of her sadness. See would never mention it to Tomoe, but the truth was that she had seen Tomoe break down in tears and crying hysterically when she thought no one was watching.
"I don't accept these conditions! I don't want to return to such a place that confined me and betrayed me. Who do you think I am? I'm not someone that goes grovelling back to anyone! Get out! Get out!" Tomoe yelled as she tried to stand but the shackled kept her down.
"Tomoe-san I'm here to help-"
"Help? How can you help me? You can't even help yourself. Who are you to sit there and judge me?"
"I know what it's like ok? I know what it's like to have no family, no friends and your only love betray you. I know what you're feeling because I'm the same." Miya said with confidence. She leaned forward and tried to look Tomoe in the eyes. "There was a time we were friends Tomoe. What happened that made things go so wrong?" They looked at each other for a while both unable to talk, so an anxious silence filled the room. Slowly Miya stood up and put her hat back on "Just to let you know, if you accept the offer, the Gakuencho will permit my return as well."
"There's always an ulterior motive, you're not here to help me" Tomoe muttered.
"I don't care returning to the school, I've done well enough without it for so long already. I just care for your wellbeing and that's the truth." With that she left the room leaving Tomoe to ponder on one of the most unexpected encounters in her life.
A flurry of men in business suits left the President's office all the while talking animatedly about some new policy. Chie pushed her way through the wave of men and entered the office door quickly running to the President's table.
"President is it true? Is Queen Mashiro coming to visit us?" Chie said whilst trying to catch her breath, she had run all the way from the grounds.
"Hallard! Who do you think you are barraging your way in" Haruka ordered.
"Barging Haruka-chan." Yukino motioned for the few officials left in the office to leave. "There now we can talk in peace" she said and smiled. Chie grinned
"So is it true, are they coming to visit?"
"Yes it is. Queen Mashiro, Arika-chan will be visiting us and they should arrive in a few days time."
"And yes Aoi will be there too" Haruka winked.
"That's great news!" Chie exclaimed unable to contain her excitement. She turned serious for a moment and she quickly saluted "Ahem. If I may President and Brigadier General, could I your permission of escorting them for the duration of time they're in Aries? Arika is a fine otome but I feel there should be another on hand just in case."
"Yes Queen Mashiro's safety is very important. What do you think Haruka?" Yukino teased.
"Ah go on then. Hallard you've gone medium."
"Soft Haruka."
"Soft. That's what I said!"
"Thank you. But in all fairness General I think you'd go soft too if you didn't see Yukino for three months!" Chie grinned and left the office practically skipping. Haruka stood with her arms folded in front of her and Yukino relaxed in her chair for a while, both in comfortable silence.
"You know Yukino I don't think I'd become soft if I didn't see you for three months," Haruka blurted out with a blush appearing faintly on her face.
"Haruka?"
"I think it's because I'm stuck soft anyway because of you."
"You think so?" Yukino asked and chuckled.
"I let you hit me with a rock don't I?" Leaning up quickly Yukino kissed Haruka on the cheek, to which she blushed more.
"See Sara I told you this would be more fun than Kruger's stupid mission! She can go explore those restricted areas herself!" Nao sang as she leaned on Sara's smaller frame. Sara was trying to hold the somewhat drunk girl up, she knew they shouldn't have gone out drinking, thankfully she had the foresight not to consume anything in that dark bar.
"Nao you're forgetting that we already went and came back this morning."
"We did? Then what am I talking about?"
"An imaginary mission?"
"Well good! I shouldn't have to do imaginary missions for silly Kruger either." Sara smiled at her drunken companion and they eventually made they way into the main street of Windbloom town. People filled the area, buying and selling many intricate and exciting items from across the globe, it was an area filled with activity.
"Hey its Arinko-chan!" Nao yelled out suddenly making several people stare at them. Sara quickly muttered an apology and dragged her friend over to the orange haired otome.
"Yo Arinko-chan what ya buying?" said Nao as she jumped up behind Arika and then ended up leaning on her.
"Nao-sempai! Sara sempai!" Arika exclaimed in surprise and put whatever she was holding back down on the stall table.
"Buying some jewellery for yourself Arika?" Sara asked.
"Um, yes, yes for myself! Buying something for myself."
"Arinko don't lie now You're buying something for your whiny Queen. Actually where is her most royal majesty?"
"She's sorting out our travelling plans to Aries so she's busy and a bit stressed right now" Arika said sadly.
"So you wanted to get something for her to cheer her up? How sweet. What were you holding earlier?" Sara asked.
"It's just a little jewellery box, she can keep her things in it whilst we travel."
"I'll buy it!" Nao shouted and handed some money to the vendor who smiled appreciatively.
"Nao-sempai I was going to buy it!"
"You're too slow! So it's mine now, unless of course you can catch it." Nao smirked.
"Catch it? What do you mean-." Suddenly Nao threw it into the far away into the distance
"Go go go!!!" Nao cheered. Without thinking, Arika quickly materialised and chased after the jewellery box. She sped after it and caught it with one hand, but before she could turn to wave it in Nao's face triumphantly she crashed into a tall bell tower with a loud crash.
"AHAHAHAHHA!" Nao laughed and pointed at Arika. Sara frowned at her friends antics but couldn't stop herself from laughing when Arika shouted out
"Does this mean I can keep it now?"
Elsewhere in the Gakuencho's quarters.
Natsuki and Shizuru lay contently in bed, both drifting off to well deserved sleep. This moment is perfect Natsuki thought as she held onto Shizuru. Then far off in the distance she heard an explosion and she shot up in bed immediately.
"Natsuki?" Shizuru asked. The phone rang and as usual Natsuki answered it grumpily.
"Hello Gakuencho I'm Lennie from the Windbloom Building department. It seems that-" slamming the phone down Natsuki remained quiet and didn't move.
"Arika!!!" Natsuki suddenly yelled.
Far off into the distance Arika shivered as she felt someone call her name.
