Author's Note: First, I decided to extend this chapter, it didn't turn out right last time. Ok, now I'm running out of ideas (guess I should think ahead *sweat drop*), so if you want to see your idea in my story PLEASE submit it to me via PM. Although I need ideas more then reviews those would also be nice =) One last thing, if you get a chance read Roflcopter579's story "A Friend's Arms" over in the Lucky Star section, I beta read for him and it's awesome.
"Shizuma!" Kaori beckoned to her. Shizuma was running as fast as she could, but wasn't getting any closer to the beautiful girl. Kaori was slowly fading away, her voice with it. "Shizuma... Shizuma... Shizuma... Until she finally disappeared.
Shizuma awoke in a cold sweat, tears already forming in her eyes.
"Kaori, don't leave me... Please," she whispered.
"Shizuma-sama?" Her door was open and Nagisa was standing in the doorway.
Wiping the tears from her eyes Shizuma managed to say "N-Nagisa." Something was amiss, Shizuma never stuttered.
The rain started again, but this torrential downpour was much stronger then the previous nights drizzle. Howling winds accompanied the clash of thunder as lightening directed the dreary duet.
I won't cry... I promised her that I was okay.
"Shizuma, is everything alright?" A look of concern came upon Nagisa's face
Not trusting her voice, Shizuma nodded. The cold had leaked in through the dorm's relatively thin walls.
"What did you need?"
"Well, it's really cold and Tamao-chan is gone for the rest of the week..." Upon seeing the mischievous look in the other girls eyes she quickly corrected herself. "Not anything like that!"Shizuma agreed since there wasn't a reason not to.
How is it that whenever I'm with her, I can't cry, even when I think of Kaori...
"Oi! You're naked!"
"Nothing you haven't seen before." Nagisa blushed and crawled into the bed. The petite girl was a perfect fitfor Shizuma's arms.
"By the way Nagisa, I could tell that you were lying."
"Shizuma, wake up! We're late!" Nagisa was desperately trying to wiggle free from the older girl's arms, to no avail.
"We have today off don't you remember?" Shizuma groggily glanced at the analog clock across from the wall. 9:03 A.M.
There goes sleeping in on our day off *sigh*.
"So, what do you want to do today?"
No response. "Nagisa?"
She looked down to find Nagisa had already fallen asleep.
How innocent. She makes me forget about all of my troubles. But why her? Why not any of the countless other girls I've wasted my time with? Even after all this time she still makes my heart race.
She chuckled, fondly remembering their first encounter. How naive I was... What if she pushed me away and scorned me forever? I don't think I could have lived depressed like that for another day. Come to think of it, every mishap in our relationship has been my fault, yet she still stays with me. Why?
Shizuma had come to the realization that trying to fall back asleep was pointless, she got up and hopped into the shower, by the time she came out Nagisa was awake. With only a towel scantily hiding her body, Shizuma leaned over, her face only the slightest distance away from Nagisa's.
"Your sleeping face is so cute Na-gi-sa." Her blush is just as beautiful. Shizuma's face was coming ever closer to Nagisa's but never quite touching it. The silver haired girl debated if this was how she wanted the couple's third kiss to be: A scantily clad Shizuma ravaging a drowsy Nagisa. She said yes and closed the gap before thinking twice. It wasn't as glorious as their first kiss on that romantic night when they fell into the pool, but Nagisa's lips were still as soft as a fine silk shirt being gently caressed by the wind. She was happy here, no worries, no Etoile-senpai this andEtoile-senpai that, just her and Nagisa, bonded by... Did Shizuma believe this was really love, or just another starry-eyed fan-girl? It was love, she was sure of it.
Author's note: I have to improvise everything (ideas pl0x? XD)(Should'a planned ahead =D). I can't make any promises but I'm going to aim for about 1200 (1.5x normal) words next chapter. But like I said I don't want to make any promises, as for the release date, that is to be determined. PLEASE REVIEW!!!! (submit any ideas if you have them, I can only improvise for so long). Arigato gozaimisu!
