AN: Hello again! This definitely shall be a weekly update, despite how I already have a majority of the chapters written. It's to make sure I still keep ahead of the game here, despite how unfair it may seem. I do promise this has an interesting twist and is going somewhere and apparently quite quickly when I look back on what I have written thus far. Anyway, I hope you enjoy so bon appetit!
Bluenette looked away as Shizuru quirked a neatly shaped brow. "What do you want to know?" It really was unlike Natsuki to act like this.
Boot scuffed more against the dirt, a cherry hue staining her pale features. "How you felt... Feel... Urm... How I make- made." Crimson orbs widened in shock, was Natsuki asking about her emotions toward her?
It took her entire sense of control to not squeal in happiness. Shizuru maintained her image of tranquil happiness and thought of how to respond to Natsuki's questions. Her palm cradled Natsuki's cheek and brought her face closer. "May I?" Younger woman nodded and Shizuru leaned in further until soft lips brushed against each other.
Eyes fluttered closed as she poured everything she felt into the kiss. The ground trembled beneath them just as Shizuru began to pull away. "Wow, I didn't-" Natsuki's lips were met with a finger to silence her.
"That wasn't an effect of the kiss, as well-timed as that was, it isn't normal." A growl sounded from some where near them. Younger woman moved closer as a form of protection, if she needed to defend them.
"What the hell?" The noise came again, a shadowed form appearing at the end of the trail. Viridian orbs stared at it. That is not a normal beast... "Shizuru, is that...?"
Brunette nodded, understanding exactly what Natsuki was referring to. That was an orphan, something that hadn't been seen in months. More and more of them began appearing behind the first beast, spreading out to surround them.
Both of them flexed their hands, wishing whole-heartedly for something to protect each other with. Crimson orbs widened when a pole began to materialize in her flexing palm, a cool metallic feel becoming heavier in her grasp. When its full weight materialized, she looked down to see her old element in her grasp. Attention shifted to Natsuki and noticed her dual weapons in her grasp, as much shock held in her gaze as her own.
Slender fingers guided themselves along their once familiar elements, both women quickly regaining familiarity with their weapons. Natsuki spun her guns in a circle while Shizuru twirled her naginata above her head before leaving it to rest stretched outward, her arm curled around the shaft.
"Please tell me this isn't what you wished for." Natsuki glanced to her side, chancing a glance at Shizuru before focusing back on the monsters.
"I promise you, it is not." More orphans appeared and approached closer to them. It seemed as if they were flanking, before closing off any potential escape routes. One of them howled, as if signaling to the others who growled in response.
Each turned in full circle, trying to keep every monster in sight. Brunette stood behind the younger woman, her back pressed against her to keep guard from behind. Natsuki fired a round at one of the closer beings and ground her teeth as it dodged the first strike. So much for a long-range first strike.
Shizuru giggled inwardly at a thought she decided not to express, there was a time and place for teases and this definitely wasn't the right time. But who could blame her, look at how their 'date' was turning out.
AN: I cut it off at a juicy part again, didn't I? Kannin na, my dear readers, I seem to be making this a habit. However the next chapter will be up on next Monday. So until then, adieu, and don't be afraid to read and review to tell me your thoughts thus far! -Ais.
