" The doctor said she would recover in a couple of weeks. "
Shizuru was seated beside Natsuki's bed holding the unconcious girl's hand stroking the back of her hand with her thumb. It pained her to see her love like this, so vunerable and utterly hepless. -- if only i had gotten there sooner...none of this... --
" Shizuru-san? "
She was snaped back to reality by the voice of the other occupent in the room, " yes, Mai-san " she answered not bothering to face her...she couldn't.
Mai looked at the former student council president with concern. Shizuru had not slept since Natsuki was brought into the hospital, she hardly ate anything either and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. It hurt Mai too to see her friend like this, it wasn't the fact that she know lay in a hospital room unconscious, infact most of the doctors knew Natsuki from all the times that they had treated her. Shizuru would worry about her too then but Natsuki would just kiss her tears away and tell her that everything would be alright. It was different this time though, all that blood, it was such a gruesome sight.
" Don't worry Shizuru-san, Natsuki will be alright i'm sure that when she wakes she will be back to her old blushing self again. "
Shizuru tried to smile at the small joke Mai had made but failed miserably, she couldn't blame Mai for trying...the images...they were still too fresh in her mind.

As soon the time to go home hit Shizuru quickly grabed her purse and keys and made her way to the parking lot were she got in her car and drove to Fuka Academy were her Natsuki was waiting for her. It had seem strange to her when Natsuki had asked her to meet her in that place, specially because of the time when she had told her, nonetheless Shizuru was excited to see what her Natsuki had in stored for her. Lately, as there relationship progressed Natsuki had become much more unpredictable, now and again Natsuki would suprise her with something unexpected like a little present here and there and even, as Natsuki liked to call it, suprise sex, and it always happened in the most unexpected places, not in public of course, she was still as shy as ever. The ex student council President could already imaging the endless possibiliies that could happen in place like that, all alone, at night, with Natsuki.
She was making her way through the vegetation when an ear splitting scream reached her ears. -- Natsuki.. -- She Immediately sprinted towards the flower Garden hoping with all her heart that nothing bad had happened to her Natsuki. Twigs and Branches attacked her fair skin as she ran through the trees, jumping over roots and avoiding rocks, all the while she could hear struggling and what sounded like growling . "Natsuki ! " The sounds came to an abrupt stop and Shizuru feared the worse. She slowly made her way out, too afraid of what she might find, she was greated with the most dreadful sight. spraweld on the ground was Natsuki's unconscious form lying on a pool of blood, her Jacket torn and her midnight blue tresses showered in crimson blood.
' NATSUKI ! '

Shizuru woke up with a start. Every time she closed her eyes the events from last night would replay again in her mind, the screams, the fear, the helplessness...she began to cry.
The light of the full moon shone through the window and illumited the tears that streamed down Shizuru's cheeks. Mai had told her not to worry but she couldn't help feeling this way, she glanced at the sleeping form of Natsuki and smiled, she was already begining to look better.
When Mai had left she told her she would speak with Midori to try and figure out what had happened to Natsuki ' don't worry Shizuru-san if anyone would know about this type of things it would be Midori. ', Mikoto, who was also there that night, she had picked up the scent of and animal, although she was suspicious of it ...there was another kind of scent, almost...human. Shizuru just hoped it wasn't an infected animal that had attacked Natsuki, she didn't want her Natsuki to die because of a silly little illness.
She brushed a stray strand of hair from Natsuki's face and gently touch her cheek. She lay her head on the bedside and closed her eyes.

-- Aaargh...what the...--
Natsuki could feel intense pain coming from inside her body. every muscle and bone contrated and pulled againts each other, and the blood burn through her body like fire. Her clothes were covered in sweat and her body shook uncontrollably.
-- Wh...what's...what's happening ...to...me..Aaargh. --
She held onto the bars of the bed trying to control her shaking enough to get out of bed.She made sure not to wake Shizuru up, she didn't want Shizuru to see her like this she had already gone through enough.
Noticing the wires connected to her body she grabed them and riped them out leaving trails of blood on the floor, bed,walls, and ceiling.
She stood on the floor unsteadly and shaking even more than before, wrapping her arms around herself she tried to control her shaking.
-- Why...do i feel like...i'm...freezing to death --
Natsuki turn to face the window, perhaps it was open and that was why she was shaking so much.Outside, the clouds parted letting the light of the moon shine through the window of Natsuki's room iilluminating the room in a silver hue. For a moment , as the light descended upon her body, Natsuki stood still, gazing at the beauty of the moon. She wasn't one to notice things like this infact, she could have cared less about the moon, even ifhad turn some weird color she wouldn't have cared. But something had change, now it captivated her unwilling to let her go, like a moth to a fire, its beauty drove her in. -- Beautiful...-- she thought.
Then, it happened.

Shizuru was stirred awake from her sleep, but this time it wasn't because of her dreams, it was different this time, a growl like that of a lion except more gruff. She lifted her head from her arms, the sight infront of her suprised her. Natsuki stood hunched over at the corner of the room her hands on either side of the wall gripping it making her nails dig into the wall, low growls could be heard coming from her like a purr, except, not a purr.
" Natsuki?"
There was no respond.
Shizuru decided to move closer taking light steps towards the girl, she didn't know what it was but she could feel a dangerous aurora emmiting from Natsuki.
She lifted her hand to place it on Natsuki's shoulder, upon contact Natsuki's head snaped to face Shizuru, the look in her eyes resembling those of a mad dog with fangs bearing and slobber oozing from the corners of her mouth.
Shizuru gasped at the sight infront of her, the once tender and loving emerald eyes were know filled with rage and killing intent . Before she could react any further she was roughly pushed to the floor as
Natsuki begin to attack her, ripping her clothes and leaving scratches on her body.
" NATSUKI STOP!!"
She screamed, she tried her best to fight off Natsuki but the girl was much stronger than her. Natsuki dug her nails into her shoulders as she moved down to bite off her neck. Before Natsuki's teeth could make contact the door burst open. A doctor and two nurses stood at the door gaping at the scene infront of them, before anyone could do anything Natsuki had escaped through the window.
Shizuru layed on the floor as tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably mixing in with the blood on the floor, the doctor kneeled beside her helping her up.
" Are you alright miss?"
She didn't respond, she was still in shock at what had happened, -- Natsuki...why?.--
She looked at the window where natsuki had jumped out from.
"Natsuki."
