I really am happy that I already have some favs and alerts on my story. please feel free to review as well. I just noticed that the _ I made between time jumps didn't appear on the online version so I try to fix it this time. Gomenasai!

Next time Shizurus POV will be first up. Why? There actually is a reason! It could be some time before I update because of school exams though...


'Ara? Sun is rising? No, please don't let it be morning. Natsuki looks so beautiful with the light sunshine on her cheeks. She looks like she feels very comfortable with my arms around her body, her head on my collarbone and her...uh, she has her left hand on my right breast...' Shizuru blushing hard. 'My-oh-my. You sure make my heart race my Natsuki. Well, I should get up now. If I clean up her apartment, we could go there and spend the evening if she's allowed to go. I should definitely cook something for her so she does eat something healthier than mayo.'

"Miss Fujino? It's me, doctor Yohko. I just wanted to greet such a welcome guest by my own." she said with a big smile on her face.

"Oh, Miss Yohko. I'm sorry but I just had to teach that girl on the information desk a lesson." smiling as usual

"I can understand you, don't get me wrong Shizuru-san. Your friend is allowed to at noon. Would you tell her please? She really has to look after herself a bit more." Yohko leaving the room as fast as she appeared.

'Time for me to go, Na-tsu-ki'

"Good morning Natsuki." happy voice breaking the sleepy atmosphere. 'Ara, she seems to be waking up.' "I have to get up. Natsuki should sleep a bit more and eat breakfast here. The doctor was here quite a while ago. She said that you're allowed to go at noon. I'll go to your apartment and prepare it for you. If I may take a shower at yours and get into some other clothes?" her voice is slow, clear and lovely. 'I would love to wear some of your clothes, my love. I can't forget your smell...'

"Feel yourself at home. You can also grab some clothes of mine."

'Did she just read my mind? I thought it would bother her. Well, I won't have to stop at my apartment now. I'll just take the car out of the garage. Huh? What's with that weird face she's making?'

"Thank you." Shizuru softly said.

"Arigatou." Shizurus voice raising a bit.

'She's not here with her thoughts, I guess.'

"ARA! Natsuki is spacing out. I said haligato a minute ago. You should let me get out of bed now." showing her usual smile but there's a glare in her eyes for her Natsuki only.

'Even if I would never want you to leave my embrace.'

Natsuki removing her hands fast from Shizurus back. "Ah, gomene." Natsuki starting to blush (again).

'Ah, she's blushing again. You look so hot like that, but I would never tell you that.'

"Ara, Natsuki blushing sure looks cute." using her teasing voice. "I really have to go now or I won't be able to pick you up later."

"You're gonna pick me up?"

'I would never miss the chance to.'

"If Natsuki doesn't want me to that's also fine." her smile still remaining but the shine in her eyes fading away.

"I don't want you to go in the first place."

'Natsuki. Don't tell me this. You just make me fall more in love with you.'

"Natsuki's speaking funny things when she's sick. Since when did ~you get so straightforward?" the shine is coming back to her eyes.

"That is because I have to say those things before you leave me again." shrinking her arms in front of her.

'Stop hurting me by sounding like you're in love with me. Please, I already am all yours.'

"Gomene Natsuki. But I never meant to hurt you by disappearing. I'll be on my way now. See you later." walking away very fast.

'I was thinking about forgetting my feelings towards you. You know, sometimes you make me fear you for what you can do to me. You give me hope and the next second you tear my heart apart. You know, Natsuki, I really am in love with you.'


'Good that I have a driver's license now. Should I stop by the apartment...nah, I really want to wear some of Natsukis clothes. Ah, there my BMW is. Long time no see, my friend. We have a nice place to drive to now.'

Shizuru closes the door of her car softly, her view on Natsukis apartment. 'Ah, there it is. I really am glad that I am the owner of the spare key.' Shizuru enters the clumsy apartment. You can see that this is Natsukis home just by turning on the lights. The windows are all closed up, you can still smell the sweaty air from the day before when Natsuki collapsed.

'Clumsy as ever my dear Natsuki. I really misses your scent a lot.' Shizuru looking around.

'I should start cleaning up now.'


Shizuru really is the queen of cleaning. She lets fresh air in, covers the bed with new blankets and does everything else that she thinks needs to be done. It is very quiet, just sometimes you can hear a little laughter from Shizuru.

'Finished! Well then, I have to take a shower. Ara? Was that noise the door?'

She walks to the front door.

"Ah, Kaichou-san. I didn't know that you would be here. I just wanted to" Mai looks around the very clean room. "clean up..."

'So she also has a spare key.'

"How nice of you, Mai-san. But I think it is already OK by now." Shizuru giving her one of her best smiles.

"Well, will she be released today? If so, we could all make dinner together this evening. Nana is also worried about you, you quite shocked her by running right away yesterday...and me too." Mai with a caring voice.

"Ah, I almost forgot. Gomene." Shizuru a bit worried.

"Nah, she's not mad at you. I took her with me. She and Mikoto really get along very well. And I was impressed how she made the cooking club look like little children with plastic food yesterday." Mai speaks very praising.

'Sure Nana-chan is a great cook. Her german way of cooking really is something.'

"Nana-chan is amazing, I know. Should we get food then for a meal this evening? I can drive us to a supermarket." light smile added as always

"So that expensive looking car is yours...OK, lets do it."


"Wow, Shizuru-sama. We bought quite a lot. Are you sure you want to pay all by yourself." Mai worried yet a bit impressed.

"Ara? It's okay. Just keep the price for yourself, I don't want Natsuki to get angry." 'She would be angry, I know that.'

They put everything in the boot and drove back to Natsukis apartment.

After they put the food away Mai starts texting Mikoto.

"I told them to go to town for a bit. Nana will see a bit more and Mikoto likes to run around. I meet them there later." Mai laughing as the image of Mikoto appears on her cell phone.

'She really is a good friend to have. She is cheering and gives the sign of hope to everyone.' "Would you come pick Natsuki up with me?" Shizuru asks friendly.

"Of course! I'd like to tease her some more." Mai makes an evil face.

'So I'm not the only one that likes teasing Natsuki. I hope she's not a better teaser than me.'

"Mai-san, I'll go take a shower first."

"Ah, ok. I'll bring you some of your clothes to the bath. Nana gave me some of yours to bring along." Mais violet eyes searching the room for her bag.

'Damn. That was my chance to get into some of my Natsukis clothes saying goodbye. Smile, Shizuru. Be happy that she cares about you and brought you your stuff. Smile the perfect smile you practiced so much.'

"Arigatou, Mai-san. I'll be on my way then."


'I really like Natsukis shower. It's totally western style, but yet it's kind of charming.'

Her thoughts wandering off...'To think that she is completely naked under her shower...WAIT! What the hell? Why would somebody wear something while cleaning himself? Focus on washing. You have to hurry so can see her again.'

Shizuru increases her speed. She has to fight the images popping up in her brain. 'Stop thinking about her naked. You'll regret it later...'


The two of them arrive at the hospital.

"I really like your car, Shizuru-sama. Never heard of this label though." Mai looking at the car symbol closely.

"It is a german car. My father was quite shocked I knew so much about cars but he was happy too. Also Mai-san, please. I think you should stop adding the sama after my name, after all we went trough a lot." An honest smile on Shizurus face.

"I'm impressed that you're interested in cars. I thought you were only..."

"You mean a traditional yet girlish person? Interested only in tea ceremony and flower arranging? No, I like to keep those traditions so they don't get lost. But I really love cars like BMW, Porsche and Lamborghini. Motorcycles are pretty cool, too. I just, I am a bit afraid of driving one." Shizuru blushing lightly.

"Ah, Shizuru-san. Now I really am impressed." her eyes widening by the sight of Shizurus blushed cheeks. "Don't worry, I keep it a secret from Natsuki." her caring, soft voice again.

"Would you go upstairs to pick her up? Room 713. I'll stay here and pay before Natsuki can do it herself." a shine going through her eyes as she speaks Natsuki out loud.


'I hate those people who can't even concentrate enough to write out a bill.' Shizuru puts her sign under the contract. 'There, now I just put my card back into my pocket. Oh they're here already.'

Shizuru walking over to Natsuki and Mai who just arrived in the entrance hall.

"Mai-san. Would you take Natsuki to my car." looking at Natsuki "Hans me over that bag of yours, would you." using a soft voice with the slightest bit of an ordering tone.

"See, I told you to give me your bag before." Mai said proudly.

'Is Natsuki about to fall? She looks weak on her feet.'

"growl...Here Shizuru, nut I think I could carry it myself." Natsuki a bit stubborn.

'I'm glad you always listen to me. I love you for that, you know.'

"Mai-san, be careful. She seems like she is about to fall." speaking directly to Mai, ignoring Natsuki.

"Don't speak like I can't hear you two!" Natsuki starting to tremble as she tries to walk.

'So she really is weak on her feet. Should I carry her? Nah, she would be too embarrassed especially in front of someone else.'

Shizuru watches Mai taking Natsuki to her car as she puts the bag in the boot.

"Mai-san. Please take a seat. I'll drive through town so you can get erlier to Mikoto and Nana-chan." smiling lightly.

"Thank you. Ah, Reito-san asked about you in his last letter-I'll bring it with me this evening."

"Arigatou." A light shine in her face.

'I kinda miss him. He really was a good person to talk to.'


They drive through town. Shizuru focused on driving just like there is a little baby on her backseat. 'Why am I so focused on the backseat today. I hope she doesn't catch my look through the mirror. She is so beautiful when she is weak like that. Everybody sees her as a boyish, rebellious ice princess. I really love that she doesn't act like that in front of me.'

Mai suddenly raises her voice.

"Oi. There are Nana and Mikoto, what a coincidence." Mai happily.

Shizuru stops the car on the last free parking lot in the street. A tall girl starts running towards the car. Mikoto is following her a bit slower. As Mai leaves the car to hug Mikoto the tall girl uses the opportunity to lean herself in the car through the open door.

"Ara, Nana-chan? Gomene about leaving you so suddenly behind yesterday."

Nana types a private message for only Shizuru to see on her smart phone. She shows it to Shizuru but not in the sight of Natsuki so she wouldn't notice it.

On the display:

::She's pretty, the baby you have on your backseat! Go, get the girl! I'll support you as much as I can. Wanna have details later. Also have news for you. Be more seductive, Shi-chan!::

'Don't blush. Oh Nana, I really do want her to love me.' Shizurus eyes shining bright.

"Oi Shi-chan..." Nana with a big smile.

"Gomene." Shizuru acting like she hasn't read it for Natsuki not to notice.

"I said it 3 times already. I'm not mad at you. Now get the hell out of this traffic" Nana giving her a supporting smile while putting her smartphone secretly into her pocket. "and I'll see you later. I'm looking forward to cook with you and Mai."

'Thanks for giving me time with her alone.'


'She looks dozed out.'

As they arrive at Natsukis apartment the latter doesn't even realize that they're already right in front of her home.

"Natsuki looks like she dozed out. Ara, is that a tear?" 'What's wrong my love?' "Did you dislike me driving that much?" teasing her while trying to put her own face at ease.

"Sorry. I just felt my body hurt a bit." Trying to sound like she's better now.

'You can't lie to me. You look like it still hurts pretty much. When did you stop being honest to me? It feels like your growing away from me.'

Natsuki gets herself out of the car but is stopped moving by Shizuru. 'I will make your pain go away as much as I can, my Natsuki. ' Shizuru picks her up and starts carrying her towards the door.

"Shi-Shizuru! What are you doing? You don't have to carry me. I really am able to walk by myself." blushing very hard.

'You must be angry. I feel your heart beat very fast. Gomene. I love you so much and I really wanted to carry you.'

"Nah, I really like carrying my princess Natsuki. Also it's like carrying my wife over the doorstep, you know." 'I'm no longer ashamed of showing my feelings towards you like this'

"Shizuru! Stop talking like that!" Natsukis face red like a tomato by now.

END PART 2

Q: Why did you make Shizuru the boyish one?

A: She's not that boyish, just taking the lead, and I adore a weaker Natsuki.

Q: German car?

A: I actually am from Germany...

Q: So that's why Nana is german?

A: Maybe. She should show some german attitudes

Q: Nana is not a german name, right?

A: No. I decided this as a nickname for her to maybe refer to NANA, also Hachiko should be referred to that.

Q: What is her actual name then?

A: Should be in the next chapter.
