CHAPTER 3

"You heard it right.", said a husky voice beside Shizuru. "Mai is my sister.", Natsuki confirmed. "And no one should ever dare to question that.", she warned as she glares at her classmates. Everyone went silent, not wanting to ask more questions and make a Kuga Natsuki mad.

"He he he ..", Mai laughed nervously, scratching her head as she breaks the silence. "Natsuki, it's alright ..", she assured the raven-haired girl, although she knows that for Natsuki, it is never alright. Her sister is quite sensitive when it comes to family matters and Mai understands that well.

"Tss.", Natsuki just rolled her eyes and turn to face the window on her right. I need to unwind. I need to get out of this room immediately. Better take my nap somewhere down there, Natsuki thought as she scans the view outside the window.

"Don't even think about ditching Natsuki.", said Mai with that angry mother-like face of hers. Everyone's doing their own monkey business again, but a certain brunette's attention is still fixed on Mai and the new student.

"I am not !", Natsuki protested. "I know you too well, don't lie !", Mai scolded. Natsuki pouts and crosses her arms over her chest.

Ara ~ she's cute !, Shizuru thought as she's fighting the urge to pinch Natsuki's cheek.

"I'm not feeling well Mai and I just wanted to rest. That's all.", Natsuki said. Of course that's not true haha ! I just said that so that Mai would let me go. Brilliant idea again Kuga ! Ha !

"Uhm excuse me Tokiha~san and Kuga~san, but if Kuga~san is not feeling well, I can acompany her to the clinic", the kaichou offered.

"Sure !" / "No !", the two girls said in unison.

Gaaad ! This kaichou will ruin my plan !, Natsuki mentally growled.

"I am fine ! I don't need a company. Or Nao can come with me instead of you, right Nao ?", Natsuki said as she peeps to the direction of a certain red-head. "Don't wanna ..", Nao said non-chalantly without even looking to Natsuki. "Eh ? Chie ?", Natsuki asked Chie. "I don't want either.", Chie answered.

Freakin' shit. This can't be happening !, Natsuki thought.

"So that's it Natsuki. Kaichou~san will take you to the clinic later but that's if she has no appointments or works to do.", said Mai.

"Ara~ It is really fine Tokiha~san.", Shizuru beamed a smile. "Besides, I have nothing much to do after this.", she added.

"Arigato Kaichou~san. I have an errand for one of our teachers after our class so I can't come with Natsuki.", Mai smiled back.

Shizuru just nodded and Mai proceeded back to her seat. Natsuki sighed heavily and fixed again her gaze outside the window.

Guesse I have to wait until the period is over until I come up with a plan to ditch this kaichou.

Soon enough, the bell rang indicating that the first subject is over. Midori entered the room carrying a bottle of water with her left hand and massaging her temples with her right.

"Okay class, you are now dismissed. The instructors for your next two subjects won't be around so you will have your free time until lunch break. Have a good day maggots.", Midori forced a weak smile to her students before leaving the room.

Shizuru turned towards Natsuki's seat and was surprised that the navy-haired girl was not there anymore.

"Ara ~ how did she managed to get out so quick?", Shizuru muttered to herself. Her eyes then searched for Mai, but the busty girl is now heading out of the room and seemed oblivious to the fact that her sister now was gone. Ara ~ why do I even care if she will ditch the class or not ? The kaichou shrugged the thoughts away and gathered her things to catch up with her friends who are now waiting for her outside the room.

Natsuki's escape plan worked out well. Now I'm free. I can now breathe well. Natsuki don't know why, but she feels like someone pulled the air out of her lungs while sitting beside that kaichou. Maybe because she's breathe-takingly beautiful ? Wait, did I just say she's beautiful ? Yuck, eew. I'm sounding more like Chie now. Ugh.

The ice princess walks rather calmly around the campus, and of course, she's aware of the stares and whispers by her new schoolmates. Who wouldn't know of the delinquent child of Kazuki Kuga ? Natsuki doesn't even seem to care. She is used to these kind of people who have nothing to do but to gossip and spread rumors about how 'bad' she is.

"Kuga~san seems so cool !", said a girl walking behind her. She can even hear the girl giggles. Natsuki's lips formed a smirk at the comment but she just keeps walking. Of course, if she have bashers, she also have people who admires her.

"Yeah right. Whatever. I think she's a coward.", said a boy that Natsuki assumed as a jealous boyfriend of the girl who spoke moments ago. Natsuki abruptly stop walking.

Dick head.

She spun around to face the unlucky guy who's about to face his death. Emerald dagger eyes struck it's way towards the guy who's much taller than her. The girl beside the now terrified boy gasped as Natsuki grabbed the guy's collar and slammed him at some nearest lockers.

Natsuki's grip tighten on the guy's collar as she grits her teeth. "What did you just said ?!", Natsuki hissed on the guy's face. COWARD is the least favorite word of Natsuki. You can call her whatever you want, but don't ever, EVER call her a coward.

"I . . U-uh . .", Unlucky Boy stutters as he tries to avoid the deadly glare of Natsuki. "I am asking you a question moron. You better answer me before I introduce your face to my fist.", she demanded as she raise her left arm, her hands forming a fist, ready to erase Unlucky Boy's face.

Natsuki's vision is now turning dark. If she was an anime character, you can probably see black aura surrounding her. She knows that she's losing herself again but she just don't care. All she wanted to do is to beat the shit out of this guy.

"K-Kuga~san . . . Please . . . I'm sorry . . . I-it w-will never gonna happen again . . . P-promise . .", Unlucky Boy manage to say.

Natsuki narrows her eyes. She's so angry that she can't understand what Unlucky Boy is saying anymore. She can even hear her blood roaring in her ears. Natsuki swung her fist.

"Ara . . Kuga~san, don't.", said a girl in a honey-coated voice.

Natsuki's black aura left her. She paused, her fist was half-way to Unlucky Boy's lucky face. She turns towards the owner of the voice.

Pfft. The prett- , the annoying kaichou. Tss. And oh, what a crowd.

Another crowd who are witnessing what a mess she is to the name of her father. Like the fuck I care. Her green gaze landed again to the kaichou.

Natsuki smirked evily. Shizuru smiled warmly. But Natsuki faced Unlucky Boy again. Once more, she raised her fist and swung it in a one swift move. BANG !

Nothing hit me ? Unlucky boy opened his tightly closed eyes to see Natsuki's punch landed on the locker behind him. He can tell that the force of the punch was so strong because it created a huge and deep dent on the locker door. Poor locker door.

"Run.", Natsuki whispered to Lucky Boy (Let's call him Lucky Boy from now on) who immediately runs for his life, leaving her wide-eyed girlfriend behind.

"All of you. Get lost.", Natsuki commanded everyone as she leans her head and hand on the locker for support. She's panting like she's been running forever. Fuck. I forgot to take my fucking pills.

Everyone is still in shock to move. They just saw Kuga Natsuki almost erase the face of their schoolmate. If not for their beloved president, the incident would've been worst.

"I SAID GET LOST !", Natsuki practically yelled, causing everyone to scrambled on their feet to get out of the area.

Shizuru remained standing there. She don't know what happened to make her new classmate so mad but she knew something's definitely wrong with Natsuki.

She was on her way to the library when she saw a gathering crowd near the gym so she decided to check on what's happening. She's the president after all.

Shizuru find herself walking towards Natsuki. Ara, she's breathing heavily. I remember earlier she said she's not feeling well. Maybe that's why?

"Why are you still here. I remember saying something about getting lost.", Natsuki said with an emotionless voice. Almost emotionless.

"Don't get near me. I might hurt you.", she added, her back still facing the kaichou. She's afraid that if the kaichou gets anywhere near her, she might go berserk again.

Shizuru should've took that as a warning, but instead of being afraid, she took a couple steps forward until she was just inches from Natsuki's back.

Is she insane ? Anyone when I'm at this state usually are fucking afraid. Even Nao . . Chie and Mai . . Ugh. Life is so fucked up.

Suddenly, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder. Her usual reflexes was to slap the hand away but at this moment, something's stopping her from doing so.

"Kuga~san . . ", Shizuru cooed. She can feel the girl tremble under her touch.

Natsuki finds herself calming down and slowly turns around to face the kaichou. Her green gaze looking straight towards Shizuru's red ones. "What do you want ?", she asked, keeping her cold personality on. A part of her is saying to just walk out and leave the kaichou there but a part of her is also saying to respect the girl.

"Ara~ It is my responsibility to know what's happening or what are the concerns of my fellow students Kuga~san. That's why I am here.", she smiled. She wants Natsuki to think that she's not an enemy. Most new students are really having a hard time coping up with a new school or environment, and she knows Natsuki is one of those.

She's pretty. Her beauty is simple but pretty. Her eyes are green, so green that it's like I'm looking in a wild forest. But she doesn't smile. It will enhance her beauty if she do so., Shizuru thought as she takes in the Ice Princess' features.

Natsuki noticed that the kaichou is doing some examining on her face, causing her to look away as a tinge of pink crawl it's way to Natsuki's cheek. What the hell is she doing ? "Uh . . Yeah right . . Student Council responsibility bullshit. Whatever.", she managed to respond. And why the hell my cheeks are hot ?

Sizuru giggled. She can't believe that Natsuki, who's causing a ruckuss moments ago, is now blushing like a cute child infront of her.

"What's so damn funny ?!", Natsuki asked as she raised her eyebrow. Yeah. This girl is insane.

"Ara ara~ I just find Kuga~san rather cute.", Shizuru stated causing the tinge of pink in Natsuki's cheek to become deep shades of red.

"I . . I am not !", Natsuki practically yelled and pouted after. Why am I talking to her anyways !

"If you say so Kuga~san.", Shizuru giggled again, noticing the pout on Natsuki's face. She also noticed the girl's hand, the one Natsuki used to punch the locker door, is bleeding. "Ara, Kuga~san, your hand is bleeding."

"Eh ?", Natsuki lifted her hand to see her knuckles indeed are bleeding. "Oh shoot. I must've hit it hard.", She must've been very angry earlier to feel the pain.

"Come with me in my office, we have to apply first aid on your wounds to avoid infections.", Shizuru offered, then turns her back to Natsuki and started walking.

"Oi!" Natsuki called. "Why in your office ? I can just go to the clinic myself. I don't want to bother you.", she said.

Shizuru stop and turns to face Natsuki again. "Well, I guesse you don't want the school nurse to question you on where did you get that wound, right ?", Shizuru winks, so not her thing to do, but seeing Natsuki's cute facial expressions causes her to do so. She turns her back on Natsuki and made her way towards the Student Council's Office.

Well, she do have a point. "Hey ! Wait up !", and Natsuki jogged after the kaichou.

"I'm freaking starving ! Where the hell is Kuga ?!", Nao asked Chie. After Midori announced the dismissal of the class, Nao couldn't find Mai and Natsuki around. Well she knows Mai have to run an errand but Natsuki, Hmmm .. She's probably sleeping somewhere. That fido ! Couldn't she make herself useful sometimes ?! Or maybe . . No. She brought her pills.

"How the hell do I know Nao ? I'm with you all this time. Come on, let's grab something to eat. Natsuki can handle herself and you don't have to worry about her all the time.", Chie said as she scans the area for any signage on where the cafeteria is. Woah. Huge school.

"Like the hell I care about that fido ! B-but what if she ~"

"Stop thinking like that. She will do just fine.", Chie said sternly that she almost glare at Nao. Chie then realized how serious her face was and immediately put back her charming smile on. "Now let's hunt for food !", she winked to her redhead friend. Did I just almost glare ? Gaad, I'm starting to act like Natsuki now.

Nao rolled her eyes then sighed. "Fine. Whatever.", she said as she follows Chie in search for food.

Natsuki is now infront of a door that has a sign that reads 'STUDENT COUNCIL'S OFFICE'. This is the very place I wanted to avoid since Midori announced our punishment, but I still ended up here. Why the hell did I follow this crazy kaichou anyways? Oh right. For the first aid. Natsuki then tries to stretch her injured hand, but shut her eyes close after feeling a pang of pain for stretching it. Stupid.

"You can now come in Kuga~san.", Shizuru's voice floated to Natsuki's ears. The kaichou is gesturing for her to come in. Why the hell her eyes are red?

Shizuru coughed, pulling Natsuki out on her daze. Natsuki blinked. She caught me staring ! She would probably think I'm a freaking retarded.

Shizuru giggled. "What ?", the Ice Princess grumbled. Have I told you guys that she's crazy ? Well, she was freaking giggling for no reason !

Shizuru shook her head slightly. If you could just see how cute your facial expressions are Kuga~san. The kaichou enters the room as Natsuki follows behind her.

The room was huge. To Natsuki's right, there are several tables with computers and files of papers on each that Natsuki assumed as the table for the officers of the council. To her left, there is a set of sofas and a center table that she assumes as the waiting area. Infront of her is another door that reads 'Office of the President'. Woah. She has her own room? That's awesome.

"Uh, so where's your minions. This place is empty.", Natsuki said as she breaks the silence between them and sitted on the sofa.

"Ara~ They are probably taking their lunch Kuga~san.", Shizuru beamed at her and proceeded to unlock the door to her office.

"Uh, I'll just wait for you here.", Natsuki then make herself comfortable by resting her feet on the center table, her hands are across the back of her head.

Typically badass. Shizuru thought. "We must head inside Kuga~san, otherwise, Haruka might see you here.", the kaichou said.

"And so what ? Don't tell me that the president is afraid of her minion ?", Natsuki smirked, earning another sexy point for Shizuru.

"Ara, no. I'm assuming Haruka~san has already heard about Kuga~san's ruckuss earlier, so I'm guessing that Kuga~san don't want some more punishment aside from the punishment I'm about to give her for being late?", Ara? Am I hiding her?

Is she hiding me ?, Natsuki raised her eyebrows and shrugs. She stood and made her way inside Shizuru's office while the kaichou follows her.

They stood there awkwardly for a few seconds until Shizuru gestured Natsuki to sit down on one of the two chairs infront of Shizuru's desk.

Shizuru walks toward a cabinet and brings out a white first-aid kit. She opens the box to see if the things she will be needing is available. After checking the contents, Shizuru seated infront of Natsuki who is sitting like a boss.

"May I see your hand ?", she asked.

Natsuki hesitantly reach her hands out which is now covered with dried blood. Her knuckles are badly swollen that she can't barely move it. Damn.

Shizuru took Natsuki's hand and examined the wound. She placed Natsuki's hand on her lap for a while to reach for the alcohol and cotton in the first-aid kit. The action made Natsuki blush so deeply.

What is she doing ?! Natsuki's kinda panicking seeing her hands on Shizuru's lap. Shizuru's wearing a skirt, not a really short one but Natsuki's hand can still touch Shizuru's bare skin. Calm down Kuga. Calm down. Natsuki is not having a malicous thought about it, it just felt weird. It's like something is swirling on her tummy that she can't pin point what.

Shizuru poured some alcohol on the cotton ball. She took Natsuki's hand again and dabbed the cotton to it. Natsuki flinched, but immediately put her poker face on so that it will look like the pain is nothing to her.

Shizuru cleaned the dried blood with alcohol. After she was sure that the wound is thoroughly cleaned, she applied an antiseptic solution.

"Hey hey hey, what is that ?", Natsuki asked pointing with her other hand at the weird dark liquid that tinted the cotton that Shizuru is putting on her wounds.

"Ara, this is Povidone Iodine Kuga~san. It will help your wound to dry up quickly.", Shizuru said as she continues her work. She then wrapped a bandage around Natsuki's hand to avoid infection.

"It should be fine now that it's properly treated.", Shizuru smiled. She wonders what time is it. Is lunch over ? She would rather stay there and watch Kuga's weird but cute facial expressions than to be elsewhere.

"Uh . . T-tha ~~", Natsuki was about to mutter a silent thank you (which is against her will for it is not her thing) when the door burst open.

A raging Haruka Suzushiro stormed inside the kaichou's room.

"Ara ~", Shizuru mutters as she composed herself calmly as ever. This must be important ne ? People usually knock before entering my room. "What seems the matter Suzushiro~san ?", she asked, smiling at the blonde.

Haruka ignored Shizuru and walks closely towards Natsuki then glared at the Ice Princess. The blonde crosses her arms over her chest, causing her busty boobs to squeaze out.

Natsuki, whose face is leveled with Haruka's breast, instantly looks away as a blush crept it's way on her cheeks. Gadammit ! Why is her boobs that big ?!

"Why are you looking away Kuga~san ? Feeling guilty now ne ?", Haruka said as she raise her eyebrows.

Natsuki snapped her head back to face Haruka's . . face of course. "Guilty with what ?!", she growled. Your boobs were fuckin' inches from my face. What do you expect me to do ? Stare ? Idiot !

"Don't act like you're innocent. I know what mess you did out there.", Haruka said.

Uh-oh. Natsuki gaze at Shizuru for help but Shizuru was already staring at her. Caught in the act, Shizuru instantly clears he throat and spoke. "Ara~ What do you mean Suzushiro~chan ?", she asked, although she already knew what it is.

"This brat was involved in a fight earlier. I bumped at Shino Yakana. He was panting and that terrified look on his face was undescribable, telling it was Kuga's fault.", Haruka stated.

"And you came hunting me down without knowing my side. What a biased officer.", Natsuki stood, face to face with the Executive Director. She's pissed again. Why is that it's always her fault even though it's not ?

"Watch your words newbie. Remember where you are standing at this moment.", Haruka glared. She's really into disciplining students and this delinquent girl infront of her is making it hard.

Natsuki glared back, and the two are sending laser beams to each other.

The kaichou stood and cleared her throat. She wants the two ladies to aknowledge her presence inside the room. HER room to be specific.

"Suzushiro~san, I've already heard about the incident earlier and I have already gave Kuga~san the rightful punishment for her behavior.", Shizuru then turned to the smug-looking Natsuki. "Kuga~san, you are now dismiss here. Try to be more friendly among your schoolmates next time.", She smiled to the raven-haired girl. I can't believe that I'm lying. I haven't even gave her disciplinary actions. Ara ~

Natsuki smirked at Haruka and leaves the room.

"What is that Fujino ?! You're just letting her go like that ?", said the fuming Haruka.

"Ara, yes and why not ? I already gave her the punishment. Is Suzushiro~san questioning my decisions ?", she asked as she sits elegantly on her presidential seat.

"Uh, no but .. You know .. She's Kuga Natsuki. For all I know, she won't do any good here at our Academy. I'm just concern with our fellow students.", the blonde explained.

"Give her a chance to prove herself. I don't want you to judge her base on rumors. Am I making myself clear Suzushiro~san ?", the kaichou said.

"Hai. But I'll be watching her, Miss President. I'll be watching. I'll be taking my leave for now, excuse me.", Haruka heads out of the room and closes the door.

Shizuru let out a deep sigh.

Somewhere near the gym, a girl was about to put her things inside her locker when she noticed that it was damaged.

"I wonder who's idiot was so stupid enough to put a dent on my locker. Whoever that idiot is, he's dead.", said the girl with a teal-colored hair and an evilish look on her face.
