Chapter 1 - Introductions
Light ballroom music played as couples twirled around on the dance floor. Small tables were set up where friends and families were talking about business and fun. The grand ballroom was white and made of pure marble, a large stair case in the middle, and a dance floor in the middle.
Hundred of people were gathered in the room. Some were talking, others were laughing. Most had a glass of red wine in their hand and one man was being thrown out for drinking too much. At the door, a very special family had just arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Fujino had arrived with their daughter to meet her future husband to be.
Upstairs, that same young husband to be was getting ready. The room was large and decorated, but dark and lightless. Standing in front of his mirror was a young lord. 17 years old, and on his eighteenth birthday he was to be wed. Tonight was his birthday party, where he was to be introduced to his fiancé.
The young red headed servant, only a year younger than her lord, placed the white jacket upon her master's shoulders and flattened it out, making a perfect fit, "Natsuki, you're ready."
"Thanks Nao." The bluenette said, grinning at his reflection in the mirror. "I can hear the music from up here. Must be one hell of a party." the master said, reaching up to adjust the tie around his neck. Nao came around him and stood in front of him, swatting his hands away and fixing it for him. "You don't have to do that, Nao."
"We both know that I do." Nao replied, reaching around and adjusting his pony tail. Kuga stared at Nao long and hard, his emerald eyes bearing into his servant's. Nao focused on the task at hand and didn't look up, knowing that if she did she'd be under his spell.
Kuga reached up and cupped Nao's face, making the red head look at him. Staring into the intense eyes before her, she was powerless. Nao smiled and let her hands drop onto his shoulders, enjoying their last time together, "You're getting married soon. Only a year." she said, pulling her head back.
Kuga pulled Nao forward and kissed her hard, not letting go. He pulled away and stared into the lime eyes, "I'm sorry this can't go on, Nao." he said, resting his forehead on hers.
"I know." Nao whispered, "I swear, I'll never tell anyone about this, or your family's secret." She pulled back and smiled half heartedly, "Your fiancé's has most likely here by now. I'll go get your father." she said, getting away and walking towards the door.
"Nao!" Kuga yelled, grabbing the red head's wrist and stopping her in her tracks. "Not yet." he said, walking in front of Nao and smiling at her. "Not yet." he whispered, whipping away a tear from her cheek and pulling her in for another kiss, "Not yet..." he muttered, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer.
Nao sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down. 'God I love Natsuki... but after she gets married I won't have to be used anymore... only uses me for love...' Nao thought, letting Kuga lead her over to the bed. They both fell back onto the bed, Kuga already getting to work on undoing the wrappings on Nao's dress without breaking the kiss.
...
An hour or so later, Kuga was sitting in a chair, listening to his father talk. The man lecturing him was wearing all black and was pacing the room, repeating how important it was that his son made a good impression and that he wed Shizuru Fujino. "Marrying into the Fujino family will secure the wealth of both families and only make our own profits grow. This is a social understand, so don't mess it up. And keep our secret, a secret." he said in a loud voice, stopping and glaring at his off spring.
Kuga nodded and shrugged, "No one will find out I'm a girl, calm down." She said, tugging on her pony tail. She slouched down in her chair and rolled her eyes, "This would be easier if you allowed me to cut my hair like a real man." she said, her eyes wondering around the room and stopping on her servant. She let her eyes roll over every curve Nao had, and it wasn't until the red head noticed did she blush a deep shade of crimson.
"You are not a real man." Her father bellowed. "Not until you are married, than you can do what you want. Until then you are my daughter and will be so in private. So Natsuki, are you ready to meet your bride?" He asked, making his daughter frown.
Natsuki sighed and shook her head, "Father I don't want to marry a woman." she said, staring at the man in front of her hard.
The man chuckled, making her frown deepen, "Of course you do! Because I didn't have a son, so make sure our money stays in the family, you're my pretend son! Just make sure Miss Fujino is comfortable with your.. gender before the marriage is finalized."
"Oh yea, hate for her to be disappointed when she realizes there's no cock down there." Natsuki said, glaring at the man. Across the room, Nao covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. Really... it's not that bad!
Reaching out, the man took a hold of Natsuki's chin and forced her to look at him. The pressure and pain made her grunt, but Natsuki wouldn't give him the pleasure of knowing that he was affecting her. He tightened his grip until she winced, then grinned. "You are weak. And watch your language, we wouldn't want your maid to pick up any bad habits. She's still innocent, you know." He said, smirking and releasing her chin. "Meet me and your mother own stairs; the Fujino's await.
He chuckled once more and walked out of the room. Natsuki growled as soon as the door shut and stood, glaring at the floor. "Fucking bastard." she whispered, her voice dark with hate.
Nao was at her side instantly, cradling her chin with care and smiling, "Shhhh... you wouldn't want to corrupt your servant. She is an innocent virgin after all." She said, her smiling turning into a knowing smirk as she leaned forward and kissed the chin in her hands.
Natsuki smirked back and took Nao's hands in hers; spreading their arms and pulling Nao flush against her, "Of course, my virgin servant. Who is just as much of a virgin as me; just as innocent, too." she whispered, trailing kisses along Nao; from her cheek to her neck to her collar bone.
Nao let her head fall back to give her master more room and chuckled, "Already? Is once not enough for you? And I'm pretty sure you already left your mark." she muttered, moaning as Natsuki found a particularly sensitive spot on her neck to bite.
"Hmmm." Natsuki hummed, stepping forward and pushing Nao against the wall. "This would be easier if your dress didn't have to be strung." she said, her arms winding around the red head's back.
"Your fiancé... downstairs... now." Nao managed to get out, her hands clutching the bluenette's shoulders and pushing her away. She glared at the bluenette and shook her head, "I hate seeing your father hit you, so get down there before he comes to collect you." she said, wrapping her arms around herself.
Natsuki smiled and cupped Nao's cheek and placing a chaste kiss on her lips, "I'll be back as soon as this is over." she whispered, kissing her once more and making her way out of the room.
"Fucking liar.." Nao muttered as the door shut. She sunk to the floor as tears fell from her eyes and down her face. Natsuki was going to go out there, meet Shizuru Fujino and fall in love. They would get married and that was that. Nothing more, nothing less.
Nao pulled her knees up to her chest and sobbed silently in the room, knowing her love was about to forget about her. Her forbidden love.
The door opened again, so quickly Nao cleaned herself up in a rush and stood before anyone could walk in. Re-appearing at the door, in walked the same bluenette that had just left. Natsuki smiled at the sight of her maid and went over to the girl, wrapping her arms around her and hugging her tight. "Nao... I have to tell you something."
Nao gasped at the hug, feeling the urgency and the need behind it. She returned it fully, not ready to let her master go. "Yes, my Lord?"
"How many times have I told you to call me Natsuki when we're alone." the Lord said, pulling back and grinning. She looked into Nao's lime eyes and saw the sadness that was held. Her features softened as she reached up and cupped Nao's face, bringing their lips together. Nao sighed happily and returned the chaste kiss, pulling away after a second. "You came to tell me something?" she asked, licking her lips.
Natsuki grinned and nodded at her, "Yes of course. I just came to tell you that... no matter what happens tonight, nothing will change. I'm sorry I never told you before Nao, but I love you. And I mean that. I'm in love with you." she said, pulling her maid in for a less chaste, more passionate, kiss that she doubted she'd ever forget.
"Ladies and Gentleman, my son, Natsuki Kuga!" a loud voice boomed. At the top of the stair case, Natsuki flipped her pony tail and smirked at the thousand eyes that suddenly fell on her. The crowd cheered as everyone raised their glasses.
Natsuki made her way down the stairs and shook hands with every man she saw and bowed to every woman. Same old, same old. The men invited her to heir clubs, translation: That one day every month we buy whores and cheat on our wives! Monsters, they broke their wives' hearts for a little fun.
The woman all winked at her and pushed their breasts out to her. They knew their husbands cheated and wanted a way to get back at them. They did know they could sleep with each other... right? Eh, better not risk telling them. When they bowed back, she generously let her eyes wonder. It made the women blush and it made them feel good. They needed the confidence.
Greeting the children was easiest. Mess with a few boys hair and compliment the girls. As the last child approached her, Natsuki lifted him up onto her shoulders and spun around, making everyone laugh and cheer her on.
"Natsuki! Get over here!" her father yelled across the room.
What an ass... Natsuki set the boy on the ground and ruffled his hair, grinning at everyone, "I'll be back soon. Thank you for attending my party." she said, talking normally since her voice was already unusually husky.
One woman took her hands and smiled at her lovingly, "Of course, Mr. Kuga. And don't be a stranger even after your marriage. We'd love to have you around." she said, a lustful glint in her eye.
'Oh ughhhh she's like 50...' Natsuki thought, gagging. She smiled and nodded at the woman, "Sure." she said, taking her hands back and making her way through the crowd rather quickly. Once she reached her parents, she put a hand on her mother's shoulder and grinned down at her, "Hello, Mother."
"Natsuki!" Saeko grinned, hugging her daughter. She pulled back and looked at her daughter with a small smile, "You look amazing. Your Father had a business meeting to attend to in the next town and may be gone for a few weeks. However, I'm sure a man like you can manage the house for a bit, yes?" she asked, with a wink.
Rolling her eyes, Natsuki nodded and smirked, "Of course I can, Mother. Did Father say when he would be back?" she asked, praying to god it wasn't for a while.
Saeko shrugged, "Not for a while." she said, sharing a loving look with her daughter. It was god times when her husband was gone. "Oh, where are my manners!" she said, turning and pointing to three people that had been standing there the whole time. She showed her daughter the people right down the line, "This is Mr. Fujino, Mrs. Fujino, and their daughter and your fiancé, Shizuru Fujino."
'Ho-ly... shit...' Natsuki thought. The brunette in front of herwas stunning. She wore a long cream colored dress, had her long brown hair up in a loose bun with a few hairs out and framing her face. She had deep, wine colored eyes, a large bust, and perfectly pink lips. Remembering to breathe, Natsuki bowed lowly and smiled at the woman, "Hello, Shizuru. I'm Natsuki Kuga." she said, taking Shizuru's hand in hers and kissing the back of it.
Shizuru smiled bashfully and looked to the bluenette with grace, "Please to meet you, Natsuki. My parents have told me plenty about you." she said, eyeing her parents carefully. Her father put his hands up in front of him in a defense and backed off, taking his wife and Saeko away with him to let the children talk.
Natsuki stood up perfectly straight and folded her hands in front of her, "Shizuru, would you like to take a walk out in the garden? Alone? Well, not you alone.. alone with me. I guess..." she asked, genuinely nervous. This woman...
Giggling behind her hands, Shizuru nodded, "I'd love to, Natsuki." she said, reaching out and taking one on the bluenette's hands in hers. "Please, lead the way." She said, moving close to Natsuki's side.
Natsuki cleared her throat and nodded, leading Shizuru out the back door and into the night. As the people there in the house watched them leave, whispered traveled around.
As the two reached the garden in the back, Shizuru gasped at the amount of fireflies floating around the back. They lit up the night. She smiled at Natsuki and raised her brows, "I wonder if Natsuki brings all of his lady friends out here to stun them." she teased.
Blushing, Natsuki shook her head, "No. Just the special ones." she whispered, her heart hammering away in her chest. Gawd, all the stuff her mother told her about was happening. Sweaty palms, blush, pounding heart, aching stomach... 'I'm in love...' she thought, 'with another woman... shit.'
Shizuru walked ahead of the lord and onto the cobble stone path that wove around the garden. Her heels clicked against it with every step she took while inspecting the flowers. Natsuki closed her eyes and followed the sound, a small smile on her face.
Looking back, Shizuru saw Natsuki following her and grinned. Taking a few more steps, she stopped and saw the bluenette do the same. Her grin widened as she started walking backwards, her steps much quieter. Natsuki started again and sped up her pace, trying to hear the steps.
Stopping once again, the brunette started walking forward. Thinking she was making progress, Natsuki sped up when the sounds got louder. Shizuru laughed and stopped before they ran into each other, "Natsuki." she said, out stretching her arm. Natsuki ran into said arm and stopped, letting out a laugh of her own. "Open your eyes." she whispered.
Heat rose to the bluenette's cheeks as she followed orders. Looking down into the red eyes right below hers, she smiled and put a hand on top of the one on her chest. "Why, Miss Fujino, I thought we were having fun. Why stop?" she asked, smirking down at the woman.
Shizuru smiled softly, we eyes dancing with mirth, "Natsuki... my parents have been telling me so much about you over the last few years." she admitted, making Natsuki raise her brows in question, "They told me how you used to work about town even though you're a lord. How you're loved by everyone in town and that many women are after your heart..."
She stopped and looked up at Natsuki's emeralds with happiness, "That was before our marriage was arranged for us. I think I fell in love with you a long time ago, and this only confirmed it. It only took me a few minutes of your time to realize that.. it's true. Everyone was right, you are so easy to get to know and get along with..." she said for the first time.
Natsuki tightened her grip on the brunette's hand and smirked, "Oh... in love with me, eh?" she asked, chuckling a bit.
Shizuru scoffed and tried to pull back her hand, but Natsuki tightened her hold further and wrapped an arm around Shizuru's shoulders and held her in place. "Calm dowm, 'Zuru! Calm down, it was a joke... it was a joke..." she said, grinning.
Stopping her struggle, Shizuru huffed and looked back up at Natsuki. She noticed.. how incredibly close they were. Natsuki stopped smirking as she noticed the same thing. Both parties dropped their hands and took a step back."S-Sorry, 'Zuru."
"Yea, me too."
"I just didn't notice that we were-"
"Me either it just... yes."
Both cleared their throats and tried not to seem to awkward. Natsuki shoved her hands in her pockets and looked up, while Shizuru folded her hands in front of her and looked down. After a bit of this, Natsuki rolled her eyes. "Oh, fuck it!" she yelled, taking her hands out of her pockets and cupping Shizuru's face.
She leaned down and pressed her lips firmly onto Shizuru's before pulling away a bit, "Look. I... never heard about you. I know it sounds bad I think I fell in love when I first saw you." she said quickly, kissing the woman again. Shizuru wanted to sigh at the confession but it came out as a mangled moan.
She wrapped her arms around Natsuki's neck, noting the lack of an adams apple... Leaning up into the kiss, Shizuru also noticed how soft Natsuki's lips were, and how delicately her tongue was probing. Smiling, Shizuru deepened the kiss, allowing the bluenette to pull her closer. One night. That's all it took for her to fall in love.
With a very... feminine man.
