Swani: Well this is the updated second chapter. I just deleted the story edited the chapters and reposted the bitch…lol. So if by some mystical chance you read this before, yes it is a different version. So the rating is M for chapter 3. I promise a better scene then the one written.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mai Hime.

Shizuru Fujino sank into the couch and sighed. It had been a rough day; a very long, very rough day. She glanced up at the clock and groaned inwardly, it was her night to make dinner. Shizuru sighed. 'Well, I have a few minutes to close my eyes at least.'

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" Natsuki screamed as she burst through the door. Shizuru looked at her and gave her a small smile. 'There goes that idea.' Yet, Shizuru knew exactly why she was at the receiving end of the Natsuki-tantrum.

"Ara, Natsuki was not happy with me telling Mai-san I would go?" She asked stressing her Kyoto accent. This only tweaked Natsuki's nerves even more.

"NO! I am not happy with your decision!" Natsuki's face was turning red from all the yelling. Shizuru smiled again.

"Ara, I believe Natsuki just double crossed herself." Shizuru kissed Natsuki on the cheek, "You did just say it was MY decision. So I really don't understand why you're so angry about MY decision."

Natsuki was stunned. Shizuru had caught Natsuki up in her famous game of 'Cat and Mouse'. Natsuki's anger grew as the seconds went by. "Shizuru! You don't understand, because you said that you were going; now I have to go!" Natsuki fumed as she plopped down on the couch. Shizuru smiled and returned to her former seat on the couch.

"Why does Natsuki say that? I'm not forcing her to go." Shizuru said laying her head on Natsuki's shoulder.

"Well no, but I really don't like to be away from you." Natsuki looked away to hide the pink hue that was forming on her cheeks. Then it hit her. It hit her like a massive commercial jet. The most deliciously perfect plan ever conceived. It was manipulative, it was sneaky, it was conniving, and it just might work. "Ne Shizuru, what's for dinner?"

Shizuru sat up. She was surprised by Natsuki's sudden change in attitude. "I'm not sure. I could see what we have and come up with something." Natsuki could barely conceal the grin over taking her face. Shizuru was startled at the surprising likeness to Nao that Natsuki had taken on. 'She's up to something…'

"I'll take care of desert, Shizuru. After dinner you just sit back and relax." Natsuki said in a strange tone. Shizuru looked at her strangely as she walked into the bedroom to change and to start the dinner preparations. "Oh, I'll take care of it all right. You're in for it now Fujino."

Natsuki and Shizuru had a fairly peaceful dinner, and as they finished clearing the dishes from the table Shizuru was beginning to put her apron on. "Ah ah ah. What did I tell you? Desert first, and then you can do the dishes." Natsuki said leading Shizuru out of the kitchen.

"Ara, what has gotten into my Natsuki? She wants to make desert, I wonder what Natsuki is planning in that head of hers." Shizuru asked inquisitively. Natsuki only smiled and said as she nudged Shizuru into the living room.

After what seemed like eternity Shizuru shut off the TV. She had never been much into television but without Natsuki for entertainment the living room was surprisingly dull. She looked at her watch and called into the kitchen "Natsuki are you almost done? You haven't been out of the kitchen for a while. What are you taking doing?"

"Ok, ok I'm done." Natsuki called from behind the closed kitchen door. Shizuru stood and walked over to the door. "Well I'm com…" Shizuru was cut off by the sound of her jaw hitting the floor.

Natsuki stood before her wearing nothing but the contents of a sundae. Natsuki had covered the 'essential' areas in a thick coating of warm chocolate sauce and drizzled ice cream over the rest of her body. To top that off she held a cherry in her mouth by the stem. She struck a sexy pose in the door way and whispered the words that made Shizuru lose most her blood.

"So, would my Shizuru like her sundae now?"

Swani: Shmeh. Well, I hope the visualization of Natsuki covered in ice cream won't be that awkward to readers, but I figured why not? We need some tasty ShizNat every so often right?
