CHAPTER 1- summer, beach and her…

Its summer break, 4 years after the carnival, everything seemed secure, normal, and the most important is, no more fighting, killing. Nothing better than the normal life…

Mai put down her speakerphone, and gives a loud sigh. They will never listen..

In front of her…a wide beautiful sea, people all over the places. Swimming, playing all around.

She's sick for keep on reminding the civilians who come here, spending their summer break having fun. Please don't swim more than limited area.. It's dangerous… Blah-blah-blah.. Again, she sighed heavily, as she leaned her back on the life-guard post.

"Oi! You've been sitting on that place since the beginning of the day, doing nothing and you still dare to give a loud sigh?" Mai snapped, she looks down at the person below her. That person's face was covered with the boxes, full in that person's arms. As the head was covered with a blue baseball cap, that person raised her head up. Mai just gives a smirk on her face.

"You know I couldn't leave my position, Natsuki. I must stay on guard. You seemed very busy?" looking at the girl, who is now wet, with sweat on her forehead.

"Yeah! Busy! Picking up your pet's food stuff. All of these are hers. I just couldn't get it! Why don't we just buy it?" Natsuki twitching her brows, as she's trying to look up at Mai. But the sunlight was so bright, disallowed her to look further.

"Do you want to hear her keep on tugging your shirt, begging on your feet for food? It's better to keep ready… for anything possible!" Natsuki's head could imagine when Mikoto start to tug her shirt with her not-so-puppy-like face on her. Asking for food. And she also could imagine she's kicking Mikoto's ass for doing it and bothering her. She sighed in defeat.

"Oi! It's almost lunch time. Back at the guest house, will you?" Natsuki start to walk leaving Mai, still on her post.

"Ok! See you then!"

Along her way to the guest house, Natsuki keep on mumbling to herself. Damn! I've should believe my instinct! I should never agree at the first place. I should have been staying home, watching TV, playing my new games! Natsuki's frown was more visible than ever, just like she's been holding up her anger.

"Come on, Natsuki-chan! It's been along time since we haven't been on that beach before. The last time I've been there about 4 years ago, when I caught you with Takeda-sempai.."

"Alright! Alright! Just shut up! You've been annoying me since the morning! I'll go! And so, will you just shut up?!" She sighed…

Now I'm stuck here, the last place I wanted to put my feet on… Natsuki just keep on walking…until…

BUMP!

Oh no! She lost control of her arms that now holding the heavy boxes. She ended up, leaning forward as she's trying to gain balance…and…

"Ouch!" the other person scowled, as Natsuki fell herself on that person, and now they lying on the sand.

"It hurts!" Natsuki rubbed her head, as she quickly apologizing to the other person. "Sorry! I didn't saw you…"

"Natsuki?" Natsuki's eyes widen as she heard the voice. I knew that voice! Is it… She look down…at the person she's been bumped onto. The crimson eyes gazed on her, in complete shock. Her brunette hairs seemed in complete mess, as now they are lying on the sand. Natsuki could see the person beneath her started to smile, and slowly she could felt some kind of heat, filling up her face. The feeling that seem lost since the last spring. I know that smile! It's her!

"Shi-Shizuru! Wh-what are you doing here?" she tried to gain herself a strength to get up and get away from the girl beneath her. But she lost all her energy in a single touch of the other girl arms, which are now, climbing her back.

"Never thought to meet you in this kind of situation…" Shizuru gazed deeply into Natsuki's icy-green eyes, as the other girl trying to put her sight away, and obviously she failed. She couldn't help it, but rather stare back at those alluring maple eyes.

"Shizuru…Not here!" trying to get up, but stuck by Shizuru's strong embrace, and she, grinning with a teasing smile…as always.

"Why not?" trying to push herself closer to Natsuki. Natsuki just sighed.

"There are people everywhere…"

"They're not…" Natsuki turned her face and look around her. And it's true. There's nobody here. One nearest is almost 100 meters away.

"Come on, Shizuru…" as she's trying to get up again, but yet, failed!

"I'm already on…" Shizuru whispered with her sensual voice, which always turned Natsuki in defeat. So close, as Natsuki could felt the other girl breath on her face. In the end, Natsuki sighed. She still and always knew how to get over me!

"Alright! What do you want?" but still, she couldn't look at those crimson eyes that brought a shiver into her spine.

"I want you…" followed by her giggles. Natsuki's heart started to beating and thumping like crazy. But she makes no response on the statement, but rather turned her face away, since she knew that her face always betrayed her.

"Just I've said earlier…not now!"

"Ara…Natsuki are so cold to me… I wonder what I did wrong this time?" making a puppy-look eyes, with a grin on her face. Natsuki turned, to face the other girl, but they ended up locking lips, as Shizuru as quick as she could, stole a light kiss from Natsuki, and quickly she released her embrace.

Natsuki's face was priceless…

"Wha-what is that supposed to mean?" still not move away from Shizuru. The other girl just smiled.

"It's a greeting, since I left for 3 month in a row…" she's trying to get herself on feet. Natsuki seemed stunned; she didn't know how to describe how she felt just now. It just seems like a shock, since she hasn't seen Shizuru for quite a long period. Missed her? Or what? Damn! Just what am I thinking? She's in front of you right now!

Shizuru stands up, started to rubbed away sands on her shirt and her pants. Natsuki hold herself, trying to ignore the other girl, as she could felt that Shizuru never get her eyes off her. She bends down, and started to pick up all the boxes that fell just now.

"You seemed quite busy…" asked Shizuru, as she also bend down, helping Natsuki. The other girl just smiled, and slowly she started to walk towards the guest house, followed by Shizuru, who is now on 2 steps behind her.

"Just helping Mai. She's doing part-time here. Beside, I'm having my summer break here. And now, Takumi asked me to help him, since Mikoto is useless as usual, and I had nothing to do…" still not looking at the older girl. Shizuru nodded her head, as she grins.

"Ara… Since when my Natsuki was so generous in helping other people?"

"Shut up!" she couldn't help it, but to blush, leaving Shizuru giggled with victory. To successfully teasing her.

Okay... Enough for the starter... Tell me what you guys think about this one?
