Chapter 2: It was an accident!
Natsuki swung her bag at her back and made her way to the long connecting bridge to the island where Miyagami Gakuen is located. Cold wind pass her body and the sound of water clashing on the rocks and pillars of the bridge sends a calm feeling on the blunette. Te place has a calm aura that even the ice princess can't help but stop and take a short inhale of the air. 'mmmh! I guess this is a new start for me…' she thought, stretching her arms and looking at the mountain with an oblique shaped building at the top. "That's a weird looking place…" she mumbled as she continued to walk to the end of the bridge.
The way to the school was put to a halt when Natsuki saw a girl with a light violet colored hair, wearing a brown school uniform blouse with a forest green colored skirt being surrounded by a group of guys. The guys were holding the girl's wrist in a strong force due to the fact that the girl was struggling and has a pained look on her face. She was going to ignore what she saw but when she looked at the girl again; it reminded her of a certain tea-loving kaichou.
Natsuki dropped her bag and lunged herself to the group of guys and began beating them until only a single one remaining. She gave the remaining one her infamous Kuga-Death-Glare which made the guy run away together with the ones that are already beaten up. "Pft! Even in these places there are perverts like them. I bet the spider would enjoy here." She said as she looked at the fleeing guys with a smirk.
"To whom am I in debt of my thanks?" a sweet tone of voice spoke from behind of Natsuki.
Natsuki turned around and scratched her left side temple with her left index finger. A small blush crept in her face as she looked at the smiling girl in front of her. "U-umm… N-no need to thank me…" she stuttered, looking at her side.
"Oh, but I have to thank the person who saved me." The girl said sweetly.
"I said its okay. I have to go now." Natsuki said while looking around for her bag. "Ah! Found it!" she walked for a few inches and bent down to grab her bag. She dusted off the dirt and swung it behind her back. "Bye now… Be more careful next time alright?" She said with a sense of warning as she walked away, leaving the pale-violet haired girl.
The girl watched Natsuki walk away with a smile on her face. "Don't worry, I'm alright. Thanks to Natsuki Kuga." She said when a short auburn haired woman with the same clothing as her arrives.
"I'm sorry Kaichou, the assault team would be punish for not coming to your aid." The auburn haired girl apologized, bowing her head to the so-called 'kaichou'.
The so-called kaichou just smiled and placed a hand on the auburn haired girl's shoulder. "Don't worry about it. I had fun meeting her anyway, so please don't punish the assault team, Nanaho." The kaichou said with pleading look on her eyes.
Nanaho could only sigh and place her left hand at her head. "If you say so Kai- I mean, Kanade-san. C'mon let's go back to the dorm, Cindy's already waiting for us."Nanaho said politely, leading Kanade to a waiting silver car.
Back at Natsuki, she was blindly walking around the forest for hours when e she had found herself in a certain predicament. In other words, she was lost. She hiked, ducked and tripped at everything in the forest. Bruises, cuts and ripped parts of her clothes were the proof of all her struggle at the staid place.
"Damn! Where the heck am I?!" she roared aloud, making the birds that had been resting at the trees to fly away. She heaved a deep sigh and ruffle her midnight-colored hair in annoyance. It was getting dark, and she was getting tired as well as hungry. She could feel as well as hear her stomach growling in hunger so she decided to slump down on the ground and took out a sandwich from her bag.
Natsuki's mouth began to water as she gazes on her mayo-filled sandwich. She took a long deep whiff on the sandwich and smiled dreamily. "Nothing beats a good dinner of mayo sandwich." She said happily as she munched down the sandwich like a little child.
After eating her sandwich, Natsuki felt her body giving in to exhaustion. She leaned her back at the tree behind her and shook her head. 'Damn school! Why is it hard to find?! And why the heck is there a forest here to begin with!' she mentally argued, fighting the drowsiness that's threatening her. She couldn't allow herself to sleep in the cold, hard dirt but her body didn't agree to her mind and she had fallen asleep.

Meanwhile at Fuuka Gakuen, Mai was cooking dinner at the kitchen side of the dormitory which she and her feral-like girlfriend, Mikoto Minagi stayed in. she was humming softly as she cooked a well balanced dinner for her and Mikoto when a certain blue-headed girl crossed her mind. "Hmm, I wonder where Natsuki is. I haven't seen her since this morning." She asked to no one as she turned off the stove and put her well cooked meal in a plate. "MIKOTO! DINNER TIME!" she shouted, walking to the small kotatsu table(1) at the middle of the dorm room.
A girl with short raven black hair and single braids by each of the side of her head jumped happily from her bed and sat down by the kotatsu table. "YEY! Dinner time!" a smiled half filled her face in happiness as she looked at the food that Mai prepared. "ittadakimasu!" she grabbed her chopsticks and began eating her food. Mai could only smile while watching Mikoto in amusement. She grabbed her chopsticks as well and ate her food in a much slower manner than Mikoto.
"Mikoto, have you seen Natsuki today?" Mai asked making the feral girl to stop devouring the food like and animal. Mikoto swallowed her food and tilted her head a little. "I dunno Mai, I haven't even heard her motorbike today." She said with a cat-like grin on her face. Mai just smiled and continued eating her dinner, but still the thoughts of Natsuki lingered her mind. 'Natsuki, I sure hope you're alright and no doing anything stupid again.´

The next day, Natsuki was awoken by a loud ringing sound from her side. She let her hand roam around the soft surface that's she's lying in. She continued to roam her hands until her hand cupped a soft 'pillow'. She gently moved her hand on the 'pillow' that caused a soft seductive moan. 'Soft bed… Soft pillow… mmmh… Wait… Can pillows moan? And why is there a bed in the forest?' she thought, still feeling the said 'pillow' with her hand.
Slowly opening one eye, Natsuki's so-called pillow gave her a huge surprise. Both of her eyes opened in shock as she saw the girl from yesterday lying beside her, blushing. "WHAT THE HECK?!" she yelled, quickly sitting up but fell down from the bed and hitting her head on the carpeted floor.
"Are you alright?" the girl with a pale violet hair said with concern as she inched her way to the edge of the bed, looking at Natsuki.
"Y-yeah…" Natsuki replied, rubbing her head that hit the carpeted floor.
"That's good." The girl sighed in relief as she looked at Natsuki looking fine.
Natsuki looked at the girl and blushed as the girl was only in her pajamas with a few buttons from her pajama shirt unbuttoned, revealing the cleavage of the girl. Natsuki blushed and looked away from the girl. "U-um sorry about that. I swear I didn't mean it. it was an accident…" Natsuki stammered shyly.
The girl just smiled and stood p from her bed. "It's alright, after all you did save me yesterday." She said in a singsong voice.
Natsuki looked around and saw that she was in a room and not in the forest like she remembered sleeping in. "how did I end up sleeping here? And where is here?" she asked confusingly, looking around.
The room has a dominant white color with a few light blue shades. Two sliding doors that lead to the balcony could be seen from her position and a large fluffy bed was just behind her. There were paintings and tiny decors around the room and a small study desk was located by the far left corner of the room.
The pale-violet haired woman smiled sweetly and placed her hands behind her. "Let's just say, someone like you don't deserve to sleep on the ground." She said sweetly, making Natsuki swing her head from left to right in confusion.
Crossing her arms and raising her left brow, Natsuki pondered on how she ended up sleeping in that place. But all her thinking was cut short when a loud growling sound came from her stomach. She blushed a little and placed a hand above her stomach, laughing shyly. "Ahehehehe, sorry about that."
"Oh my, why don't we have breakfast then? But before that, you should probably dress for school. I'll see you downstairs." The girl said, making the way to the door.
"W-wait!" Natsuki said.
The girl stopped and looked at Natsuki with an amused look. "Yes?" she asked.
Natsuki rubbed the back of her head and looked away from the girl, hiding her small blush that could be seen on her face. "Can I know your name?" she asked shyly, flicking her hair with her right hand.
The girl smiled and looked at Natsuki with her sapphire colored eyes. "Jinuguuji Kanade. And you're here in the Miyagami Gakuen Seitokai dormitory."
"Oh I see… wait… I'm WHERE?!" Natsuki shouted loudly in surprise, standing up hastily and running toward the balcony. 'Am I still dreaming?!' she asked herself.
What Kanade told her wasn't a dream. She saw the huge forest from the place she was standing at. The ocean, the bridge, even the oblique shaped building she saw yesterday. She even saw a blue glassed building, a wide building with a long trail of steel fence, a half-covered dome with a swimming pool and a huge athletic field. "Oh shit! This place is much bigger than Fuuka!" she said in awe while looking around the whole scenery.
"I'm glad you liked it. But might I suggest that you should prepare for breakfast and school? your things are already in the cabinet." Kanade said, standing behind Natsuki with an amused look.
Natsuki looked at Kanade and nodded as she went back inside the room. "Thanks again, Jinguuji-san."
"No, thank you Kuga-san" she replied, leaving Natsuki alone in the room.
"Hey how did she know who I am?" she asked to no one, poking her forehead. "I think I'm beginning to be a little scared of that girl."
She sighed and made her way to a white painted cabinet. She opened the cabinet doors and saw all of her clothes were already neatly arranged and hanged. 'Freaky…' she grabbed hold of her new uniform and threw it in the bed behind her. "I smell like a dog, a little bath should do It." she told herself, smelling her clothes and making her way to the bathroom.
After a few minutes, Natsuki followed the hallway leading to a long chestnut colored stairs. "Now where am I supposed to go and eat…" she asked herself, looking around her environment while walking down the stairs. She walked down the stairs and made a stop when she heard voices coming from the left side of the intersection hallway.
"Kaichou is this a good idea?" A rough voice said.
"She is skilled in many ways fukukaichou." A voice which sounded like Kanade said.
'Are they talking about me?' Natsuki thought, trailing the voices to a wide area with tables and chairs. There she saw at least 9 girls eating and talking with each other.
"I'm sorry…" Natsuki said shyly, bowing her head.
The silence filled the room and the 9 persons looked at Natsuki with a confused look. Natsuki felt her heart stopped as she felt the other entire girl's stare at her. Normally she would just give them her death glare, but being new to the place, as well as owing gratitude to Kanade, she just bowed.
