A/N: This story takes place after "kiss" and still in Natsumi's POV. Thanks to Wingweaver for editing this story. Okay I did say it is one shot (and it is! believe me!), but instead of posting it separately, I'll post it in one File, I'll just label it as story 2, etc., etc.,

A Kiss after A Kiss

It was break time and I patrolled with Aoi, though the patrol wasn't really that action packed, it was still tiring. Aoi is a good driver but I guess I am just so used to Miyuki driving along with me. Miyuki was stationed at the office for "training" on computer program that will be of great use to Bokuto Station, it will also prevent the under siege of the station which actually happened a few months ago (a/n: referring to you're under arrest the movie). As soon as I set foot at the station, I hurriedly went to the station's canteen. I'm going to have a feast.

After some time, once I've ordered almost everything set up at the food counter, I started eating the usual way, fast...and then it came back. I put down the bowl from my face and put a finger on my lips. Yes, I can still feel that peck Miyuki gave me yesterday, just right here… I thought then I trailed that lone finger on my lips, nope! I did brush my teeth, I do oral hygiene...maybe it is just a phantom kiss, and though it is just a memory, I can clearly feel its sweetness, then my eyes widens as realization sets in is this Miyuki's way of teasing me? Is she actually paying me back for all those time I teased her? If it is... Miyuki is succeeding in messing me up. With all this pent up emotions I have hidden inside from the very day I met her to now...she sure is messing me up. Way to go Miyuki!

What she said yesterday? I really didn't get her. Why should I think of what I've said? Okay, I do mean it when I told her that Nakajima needs courage to tell her about his feelings, damn that goof! I think Miyuki is hurt for waiting so long. Oi, I may not have paid attention to her yesterday, but I did think of that answer a long-long-long time ago. So what's Miyuki saying? I shake my head.

My reverie was interrupted when I saw Aoi coming, panting. She/he braised her/himself on the door frame of the canteen's entrance, her/his right hand supporting her/his (A/N: This is tiring, to type the his/her. I'm not sure what pronoun to use for Aoi. Gomen )) abdomen as she/he catches her/his breathe.

"Natsumi-"

I stand up and approach her/his side, "What is the matter Aoi?" I ask, my brows meeting halfway my forehead.

"Miyuki…" She/he said panting and pointed her/his fingers outside trying to express her/his unsaid words, "Miyuki-in-trouble!" finally Aoi screamed.

"What?!" I scream back. If Miyuki's in trouble she definitely needs me, "Where?"

"Old abandoned warehouse, three blocks away from bus sta-"

No need to finish Aoi's instruction, I know which warehouse he/she is talking about. I felt my heart starts to beat faster as if it wanted to get out of my chest, my brain started playing unfathomable scenes which I tried to lose by shaking my head. I grab my motocompo and start the machine as I head to the place where Aoi said Miyuki is God, please don't let anything happen to Miyuki, I can't forgive myself if she gets hurt...or worst... I shake my head, Damn Nakajima! Where are you when Miyuki needs you? I thought cursing Nakajima for his absence. I thought, if Nakajima is with Miyuki none of this will happen.

I sped off on the road not minding any traffic lights. I might have violated more rules than those I have apprehended but this is an emergency. Someone is trying to assault an officer and she needs back-up Hang on Miyuki I'm coming! I thought reassuring myself.

As I turn left three blocks from the bus station, my eyes widen to what I saw, Nikkaido Yoriko is lying on her side on the narrow road that leads to the old warehouse. I stop my motocompo to check on her. I knelt down before her and held her petite form in my arms and slightly shaking her shoulder. Good thing I think Yoriko is not that hurt because she's already stirring into consciousness, "Yoriko?" I said her name, my voice projects the emotion I am feeling right now.

Yoriko's eyes widened as she saw me and then she cried, "Natsumi! Miyuki! Someone took her!"

"Who? Did you recognize them? How many were they?"

Yoriko shook her head, "I didn't see, I was walking ahead of Miyuki then I just felt dizzy when something hard hit the back of my head!" Yoriko narrated to me while crying, "Please Natsumi, help her. I heard a voice saying warehouse before I lost consciousness…"

"Rest Yoriko, I'll take care of it. You think you can handle yourself alone here?" I asked worried about Yoriko, but not as worried as I am about Miyuki.

"Yes, just get to her please!" Yoriko begged. The truth, she doesn't have to beg because I'm going to get Miyuki by hook or by crook. I stand up and took my ride again; I then left Yoriko alone after making sure she is at least comfortable there and after contacting Aoi about her location.

It was dark, the alleyway is darker in this part no wonder those crooks decided to bring Miyuki here. I saw a small opening on the metal door of the warehouse. Without lifting the old rusty metal door, I lied down and rolled until I was inside the warehouse. I knew that rusty door will make a sound once I move it even a bit, so in this situation? Stealth is needed. I don't want to give out my position that fast.

I walked further inside the dark place until a come by a small amount of light coming from a window at a wall, high enough to not have an access and its glass are all broken. While I inspect the broken window I thought I saw a shadow moving through my peripheral vision, I didn't move but I can feel my muscles flexing voluntarily, my worry for Miyuki overpowering me completely...

"I'm glad you came Natsumi," I know that voice...Miyuki? What is this another joke? I thought as the shadow cleared and appeared before me is a serious looking Miyuki.

"Are you alright Miyuki?" I asked, I don't know why but even though now I realized that what is happening is just a prank to get my attention, for whatever reason, I can't seem to get angry at Miyuki, "Is-is-" I lowered my gaze to the floor.

"Natsumi," Miyuki said, and then I can feel her getting close to me.

"Is this your way of coming back at me for teasing you before?" I asked innocently, I can't think of any way why Miyuki would do this to me

"Coming back at you?" Miyuki asked, her voice serious, "I wanted to talk to you Natsumi,"

"You can always talk to me anytime-"

"You are distancing yourself from Aoi, Yoriko, Ken, even me! I can't think of anyway to talk to you except do this."

Okay, she's got a point. I look at Miyuki, Ken? Not Nakjima-san or Ken-kun now?

Then I felt her… in front of me, so close, I can smell her scent from where we are standing right now, "Mi-miyuki? What is-it you want to talk to me you have to pick this-this place?" I ask nervously. I can't seem to explain how a very feminine woman could make my nerves run like this.

"Answer my question Natsumi, honestly...please?" What I saw in Miyuki's eyes scared me, her eyes is pleading, so I nod "Do-do you love me Natsumi?"

What kind of a question is that? Of course I do, she is my friend...let's forget the other feeling, just the friend part, "Of course!" I replied at once

"Not like a friend Natsumi. I mean love as in-"

"--"

"Natsumi, are you in love with me?"

My eyes widen, so that's what she meant

"Mi-Miyuki-" I stammered

"That's not an answer."

I can't find my voice yes I do love you Miyuki I thought

"Nakajima-" That is so wrong…the hell!

"You're the one who is here...why are you here?" she asks me again, stepping forward to get closer.

"A-Aoi said you-you're in danger?" it's true right?

"She did ask Nakajima too,"

My eyes widen, "Where is he?"

"I call the bluff off on him."

"Why?"

"I came to realize I want a specific someone to rescue me,"

"You do?" I look at her eyes, those beautiful purple eyes

"And that person is here right in front of me." Miyuki smiles at me, "Please Natsumi, answer my question."

I held my tongue. I don't know what to say. Then I saw her shoulder slumped, she bowed down to look at the floor. Am I going to be another Nakajima and hurt her again?

No- I never wanted to hurt Miyuki, I wanted her to be happy...will she be with me?

"Miyuki-" Miyuki brought her face up to look at me, "I-I-" She is just looking at me, "Yes, I - I do love-"

Her lips pressed with mine stopped me from completing my sentence. But this time, the kiss wasn't just a peck, it's a full kiss on my lips, all her emotions contained in it. I felt a sudden feeling of euphoria, all my fears washed away when I felt her arms wraps around me, I returned her kiss now containing all my feeling towards her...this kiss have to tell her everything she wanted to know. Then I felt tears run down not from me but from her face.

"…you." I finished my sentence after she pulls away sealing everything.

"And I you." Miyuki said then buried her face to the crook of my neck as I held her in my arms.
