Hokay, here for joo, is da chapter 3! I woke up this morning and felt the need to write, so I did. I ended up with this chapter and I'm pretty happy with it! This is the chapter to read lol, I know it can beconfusing sometimes, but bear with it, when I write, I pull it out of my head as I go. Anyways I'm having fun writing this, and I especially had fun writing this one, because it isn't as drama filled as the chapter before it. Writing that chapter almost made me fall asleep it was so BORING!!! THIS ONE ISN'T!! I appreciate those who reviewed my earlier chapters and hope you continue to! ENJOY!
Natsuki woke up to the smell of eggs, toasted bread, and bacon. She didn't even realize that she had those foods…She sat up on the couch, rubbing her eyes. To her surprise, there was Nao, wearing a white apron, and…cooking them breakfast? Natsuki couldn't believe what she was seeing. Groggily she pulled herself from the couch and decided to go along with it. She walked over to the kitchen and behind Nao, Nao hadn't noticed her yet, she was apparently too busy with cursing over all the bacon and eggs. Natsuki couldn't help a smile and finally got the courage to say, "Seems like spiders should stick with eating their prey live and away from stoves." Nao, surprised, turned around, to find Natsuki sleepily standing behind her, and smiling like an idiot.
Nao blushed and puffed her cheeks at Natsuki, "Hmph, so this is the thanks I get for trying to make you breakfast, oh mighty Ice Princess? Fine, I won't do it again." Will I ever get the chance to? Natsuki only laughed even more and then took the empty space next to Nao. She smiled one last time at the shorter girl and took the pan of eggs and bacon in her hand. Her other took the spatula and flipped, squished, and turned.
She turned to Nao and said, "I hope you don't mind scrambled eggs, if I try to make any other kind, it turns out like scrambled eggs anyways," Nao just shrugged and pulled out a nail file, Where does she keep those things? I don't see pockets anywhere…Natsuki shrugged the thought away and instead asked, "Anyways, where did you get all this? I don't remember having eggs, toast, and bacon around."
Nao looked up from filing her nails and pointed towards the door. It seems that while Natsuki was still asleep, she went out to the nearby supermarket and picked some breakfast stuff up, "It was nine and I got hungry, and ramen didn't really suit my taste, so I went out and bought some stuff." Natsuki just nodded and mumbled a small apology.
When she was done with the breakfast, Nao had already set the small table. They sat across from each other, neither daring to look up at the person across from them. They both acted as if nothing had happened last night, as if neither of them was hurt, as the other meant nothing to them.
Natsuki was the first to finish, she realized that it was Saturday and gave a long sigh. She turned to Nao, who was just finishing up and said, "You should call your mom, and tell her you're coming home, it wouldn't do if she were busy or out, unless you have spare keys with you."
Nao gave the same bored look Natsuki gave her and said, "What, do you think I'm stupid enough to not carry a spare key on me?" Natsuki only averted her eyes elsewhere, and shrugged, "Yeah, well for your information I do carry a spare key. It's right…err…right…SHIT!" She yelled as she pounded the table in front of her, "I must've dropped the key somewhere near where I fell, and school's locked during the weekend, damn it…"
"All right then, call your mom, chances are she's home on the weekend, unless she works."
"Argh, no she's not home. Mama works as a nurse at the hospital, she works weekends to provide for the both of us."
Natsuki gave a long sigh, to make it seem like it was a problem to her, "All right then, I guess you can stay with me until your mom gets back home, which is when exactly?" She said while downing a glass of orange juice.
Nao shifted a little in her seat when she mumbled, "Ten o'clock…." Natsuki almost spit out her juice at Nao. She couldn't believe it. A whole day with Nao…what the hell was she supposed to do?
Natsuki wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said, "Ten???"
"Err, yeah….hey, listen I don't exactly want to spend my day with you anyways," Liar…wait…I'm lying about this?...
Natsuki rubbed the back of her neck and sighed once more, "Well there's no way I'm lettin' you outta here on your own, who knows what kinda shit you might get in to? I'm not exactly thrilled about spending a day with you either, but with the looks of the weather, doesn't look like you're goin' anywhere on your own anytime soon." Her eyes shot to the kitchen window that showed dark clouds that looked menacing enough.
Nao stared at the window angrily and gave an aggravated groan, "Damn, didn't it stop raining last night though?" She stopped her thought and looked down, looking especially sad. Natsuki realized why she had stopped her thought and soon looked down as well.
Natsuki looked up at the clouds once again and said, "Well, it looks like we might have a small amount of time, about an hour or so, and if I let you go by yourself, who knows where you might wander off to, and you'd be stuck in the rain all day with no ride. Even if you do remember where I lived, you'd nearly be dead by the time you came back after walking in the rain. So, let's go out and do something before this rain starts, maybe watch a movie, or better yet rent some movies and games. My part time job at that bike job pays pretty decently. What do you say Nao? Want to do something together?" Together…me…and Nao….
Nao shrugged casually and Natsuki took it as a shrug of approval. She then moved to get up from the table and turned towards the bathroom, "Now then, I'm gonna take a quick shower, you should go in after me, then I'll start up my bike and we can go." Nao just looked away, seeming bored and uncaring. She pulled out the pink cell phone she's had since her junior years and dialed her home number. Natsuki then closed the door to the bathroom behind her, and began to undress.
Nao had reached her home phone's away message and she sighed. She heard the beep on the other line and began to leave her message, "Hi mama, sorry I'm not home. I…umm…I lost my spare key, I'm still at my friend's house friend?? So I'm fine, please don't worry. Call me at this number when you get home, and I'll get my friend to give me a ride back, sorry again mama." With that, she flipped her cell phone shut. She then turned to her left side and saw her hand was still clutching to the spare key she had fished out of her pocket when Natsuki asked her the question about it. She bit her lip and looked down. Just one more day…that's all I want….but why do I want it? Why did I lie to both mama and Natsuki about it, why didn't I just tell them I wanted to spend one more day with her, no matter how it confused me…how the need for me to be near her is just growing by each second I spend with her. I was never like this before when I was by her. We'd exchange rude, if not scarring comments to each other and go our separate ways…but yesterday, her care for me was so….so….tender….I…I….no…I won't. I'm not….I can't….because she's got that damn Fujino in her head…..even if I did….care…about her…there would be no room for me….so one more day…that's all I want…
Nao had found that she had started crying again, but quickly sniffed and wiped the tears away. She gave the key in her left hand one more squeeze before placing it back in her pocket. She walked over to the couch and gave a long sigh. She lied down and placed her head on the pillow Natsuki had used last night, taking in the scent of the older girl's hair. Placing her left hand over her eyes, Nao just laid there, listening to the sounds of the shower.
Natsuki was in the shower talking to herself…A whole day with Nao to myself huh? Wait, why am I even thinking about this…I shouldn't be…it's just Nao, I see her almost every day…well, saw…after today, I might not see her as often…but then again…why do I care? What's up with me? Ever since I saw that different side of Nao, the side that was cute, adorable, and almost kind yesterday…from the moment she blushed at me because of her skirt…I've been arguing with myself…like…why is Nao suddenly so attractive…so alluring…so hot…why do I do whatever I can for her….and why do I hurt when she's hurt…Argh! I need to shake this thought and focus on today, whatever the reason, I'll make sure Nao is happy today, to make sure she doesn't hurt…that…I won't argue…
Natsuki stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. She blowdried her hair and shook it into place, before brushing it straight. She then threw on a white tanktop, and a short-sleeved dark blue collared shirt, leaving it unbuttoned. She grabbed a black belt that was hanging from the back of the door and fastened it on the loose black pants she wore. She then tied on white sneakers and finished the whole outfit off with a black and white cap that read 'Fuuka' in white on the front. She walked out of the bathroom and up to where Nao was lying on the couch. It had only been fifteen minutes since Natsuki climbed into the shower, so she figured Nao was awake. When she neared, Nao peeked out from under her arm and immediately sat up.
Natsuki smiled at the reaction her presence received and said boringly, "All right, up and at 'em Nao, the faster you get in that shower, the more time we have to go out." Nao blushed at the comment and just nodded. She got up from the couch and headed towards the bathroom. Natsuki just sighed and sat on the couch. She pulled out her cell phone and checked to make sure it had full battery before she went anywhere before looking out the window to make sure the weather would be okay for the next hour or so.
Nao got into the bathroom and began to undress, the cool air sent a chill up her spine, and the thought of Natsuki just getting out of the same shower didn't really help either. She climbed into the shower and took in a deep breath, breathing in whatever was left of Natsuki's scent. She stopped suddenly and realized what she was doing. She blushed, giggled, and went on with her shower.
Natsuki was looking bored while she was looking through some of her motorcycle magazines. She was looking for some new racing tires that she couldn't find in any of the local bike shops. She sighed deeply and looked at the clock, it read that it was a quarter past eleven. It had been ten minutes since Nao went in and she could hear the shower stop, and Nao humming 'Suteki da ne'. She stopped to listen to the humming and couldn't help but be reminded of the time Mai had gotten them all to go to a karaoke bar and sing.
Nao had just finished with her shower and was drying herself off when she looked at herself in the mirror. I wonder what she sees when she looks at me? A friend? An accomplice? A stranger? Wait, I can't be thinking about things like this right now. Today I'm going to spend my day with her, and It'll be a happy one. I'll leave her with happy memories of me, even if it'll be the last one. Nao had finished drying herself off and noticed that Natsuki had put some new clothes by the sink, no wonder the bags she carried last night seemed bigger than it should've been.
Nao took the clothes and began to dress herself, they fit perfectly…She was now clad in a short red skirt, about the length as the school skirts. She wore a striped red and white shirt that came down just to the beginning of her skirt. She noticed white and red sneakers as well, so she gladly put them on. She took a look at herself in the mirror and blushed at the sight. She then giggled and put her right hand up to her face.
As she walked out of the bathroom she wondered when she had started to casually giggle, she shrugged it off as another thing teenagers go through and just went to the living room. When Natsuki turned around, her bored expression turned into a surprised one. Her jaw was wide open, looking at how….sexy….Nao looked in those clothes. When she bought them she thought that it was what Nao would usually wear, and it would be normal but this…this was nosebleed material. Nao noticed how flustered Natsuki was, and decided to throw all fears of rejection, and of all arguments out of her head today, while she was in the shower, she came up with one conclusion and resolution, and she would follow it through no matter what.
Natsuki could only watch in astonishment as she watched Nao walk towards her, her eyes locked onto Nao's hips which were swaying seductively towards her. When Nao finally neared her, Natsuki could feel Nao's legs brush against her arm, sending a jolt of electricity through her. She could feel Nao's breath as she moved her head closer to Natsuki's. Nao's heart was beating at an extreme pace, she had concluded that the both of them wouldn't bring up last night until they were both comfortable and she could tell Natsuki felt the same by the look in her eyes that morning. She wanted to make today as normal, but not quite, as possible. As she neared Natsuki's face, her seductive smile or gestures, such as sliding her hand up the middle of Natsuki's abdomen, lifting the bottom slightly, did not stop. She set her mouth next to Natsuki's ear, while her right hand played with her collar, "Do you like what you see…Nat…su…ki..?" She said each syllable slowfully and playfully making Natsuki swallow a lump in her throat only to open her mouth again afterwards.
Nao retreated from Natsuki's ear and couldn't help but laugh at the expression Natsuki had. Natsuki's mouth and eyes were wide open, both her hands clenching the sheets under her, but she was still sitting in that manly way, her legs spread apart, due to where Nao leaned into her. Nao was hunched over, holding her stomach with both her hands laughing uncontrollably. Natsuki shook her head and then blushed while she got up. She walked over to the closet as Nao finished up her outburst by wiping away some tears that began to form, both from laughing so hard, and happiness that she was able to get a reaction from her. Natsuki pulled out a black and red helmet and her own blue and black helmet. She handed the red one to Nao and grabbed her keys. Nao could only smile when she recived the helmet and the two wordlessly left the apartment, one smiling and one blushing.
When they reached Natsuki's bike, Natsuki climbed on first starting the bike, before motioning for Nao to join her. Nao took this opportunity to cling onto Natsuki strongly and buried her face to the back of her blue short sleeved dress shirt. Natsuki took this as a sign to take off, so she kicked up the kick-stand and rode out of the parking lot. While Nao was dressing, she checked the weather news and found that they had a little more than an hour to spend outside before the rain started, though the clouds seemed to say otherwise.
While they were at a stoplight Natsuki turned her head and asked Nao, "So, where are we headed, movie theatre or Moviebuster?"
Nao lifted her head for a sec, as if contemplating what to do. She then turned to Natsuki and said, "Well genius, if you said it's going to rain soon, we shouldn't go to a movie," Natsuki shrugged, "So, let's go to Moviebuster and rent some movies and games." Natsuki nodded sheepishly and the roar of the bike was heard once more.
When they arrived at Moviebuster, there was a few people there, probably because of the upcoming rain. Natsuki parked her bike under the roof of the building and took her helmet off. Nao followed and they both got off the bike. Natsuki and Nao walked up to the front entrance and found racks and racks of games and movies. Nao smiled at Natsuki and walked over to the romance section. Natsuki sighed and took a sudden interest in a game she spotted on the game rack. The front of the game box showed girls with weapons and reading the back, she found they were wearing things called robes. They were called Otomes and they fought for the rich and powerful. While she was contemplating whether to rent Mai Otome the game, or Bleach: Heat the Soul three, Nao was busy looking at some cheesy romantic movies.
Natsuki didn't know this, but Nao loved to rent Romace movies, but only so she could make fun of the characters and their situations. She couldn't believe some of the stuff she saw, like those cheesy romantic comedy movies, she picked one out called 'Love Hina', huffed, and put it back after reading the back. She found nothing of interest to her so she moved on to the action section. She found a movie that she decided even Natsuki would like, Final Fantasy Advent Children. The animation seemed good and the action and story sounded interesting to her. She headed to the front of the room to find Natsuki waiting for her with a game in her hands, it was peculiar. The front of the box had a picture of an orange haired boy and blue flames. She shrugged it off and placed her movie on the counter next to Natsuki's game.
Nao watched as Natsuki scanned the movie with approval in her eyes. Natsuki paid for both and they made their way out of the store. While they were walking out Nao said to Natsuki quietly, "Ya know, I could've split the price with you Kuga, I do get allowance ya know."
Natsuki only laughed and said playfully to her, "I wouldn't want you to waste your lunch money Nao."
Nao glared at Natsuki and just gave her a 'hmph' as a reply. They both got on the bike and Natsuki headed towards home. When they arrived back at the apartment comlex Natsuki could feel the rain starting as she took her helmet off. She turned to Nao and said, "Come on, rain's starting soon." With that she grabbed Nao's free hand and pulled her up the stairs. When they reached the apartment doors the rain had already been pounding down. Natsuki sighed and unlocked the door. They removed their shoes and Natsuki took both the helmets and placed them back in the closet.
Nao walked over to the TV before turning to Natsuki and asking, "So, which one first? Movie, or would you like to get your ass handed to you first?"
"let's start with the game, after almost being suffocated by your near-death grip back there, I'd like to calmly regain my breathing."
2 hrs. later…
"Damn it! How the hell are you so good at this Nao?!"
"Ohohoho, my, the great 'game princess' is such a sore loser. Come on Kuga that was only your 100th loss in a row, wanna play again 101 time's the charm." Nao said laughing uncontrollably.
Natsuki only ruffled her head in frustration and sighed. She had taken off her blue shirt about an hour ago and was left in her white tanktop and black pants. "If I had known you were so bad, I would've suggested we play strip video games." She couldn't help but bend over on the ground, one hand on her stomach, the other pounding on the floor out of laughter. Natsuki blushed at her comment and just turned away.
Natsuki then turned off the console and popped it open. She took the game and put it back in its place while replacing it with the movie. By the time she finished, Nao was wiping the tears from her eyes and was making her way to the couch. She plopped down, still smiling. Natsuki soon joined her, and the movie started…
3 hrs. later…
The movie had just finished and Natsuki was fairly content with it. She looked up at the clock and found that is was about 5 thirty. She stood and stretched, then looked towards Nao's direction. She found the girl sleeping on the arm of the couch and she looked as cute as ever. Natsuki made a move to go near her until her phone rang. She cursed the phone but answered it nonetheless, "Hello?" Her voice was calm, but somewhat aggravated.
The woman on the other line sounded about in her mid-thirties or so and she sounded calm, "Yes, I'm looking for Nao-chan? I'm her mother."
Natsuki was surprised, she was supposed to be working 'til ten right? She calmed herself again and replied, "Oh, well all right, let me get her…"
"Thank you."
Natsuki walked up to Nao and shook her a little. Nao only groaned and shifted in her sleep. Natsuki then took her shoulders and shook her, "Get up Nao, your mom's calling."
With that comment, Nao shot up, only to find her face mere centimeters away from Natsuki's. They both blushed and Natsuki let go of her shoulders, letting Nao get up and to the phone which was next to the television. Nao took the phone, still blushing, "Mama? Hi, it's me."
"Ah, Nao-chan, I came home early today and found your message, the hospital director gave me a paid break for helping with a very intense surgery today. Well, I called like you asked, will you be returning home soon?"
"Ahh, yes mama, I'll be returning shortly," She turned to Natsuki, who looked away, "My friend will give me a ride home when she's ready."
"All right Nao-chan, be careful and be sure to thank your friend."
"Ok mama, I'll see you when I get back." Silence followed the click of the phone on the receiver. Neither would talk, neither would move. Both refused to look at the other. Finally, after a few more minutes of silence Natsuki couldn't take it anymore. She walked to the closet and pulled out the helmets once more, then turned to face Nao, a solemn look in her eyes.
Nao turned to look at Natsuki who was just standing there, waiting for her. Nao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she looked down. No…not yet…not yet…I can't leave yet. It might be the last time we get to spend time like this, god knows we would never call each other just to 'hang out'…what do I do…I know my feelings for her now…I know how I feel….but I don't know why….but does it even matter…besides..what does she feel? How does she feel? Does she share the same feelings as me?...I don't know..., "Nao…" But what I do know is…this is my last chance…and I'm not letting it get away from me…even if it means rejection…
Natsuki started to walk towards Nao, worry in her eyes. Then, she noticed gleams streaming down Nao's face, "Nao…" she began again, before she was cut off by Nao looking up at her with teared eyes. She stopped in her tracks when Nao ran towards her, tears in the air, and wrapped her arms around her neck, kissing Natsuki. Natsuki couldn't help but be surprised. Nao opened her eyes a little, still kissing Natsuki, worried because Natsuki had tensed at their first contact, but her eyes widened as Natsuki dropped the helmets in her hands, wrapping them around her waist, then closing her eyes and kissing back. Nao's tears became tears of happiness then, but came out stronger as she pulled herself even more into the kiss, and as she felt Natsuki's grip on her become stronger.
Nao pulled away and looked down, her arms still wrapped around Natsuki's neck. Natsuki could feel the grip around her neck become stronger as she looked down at Nao. Nao finally gathered up the courage to say what she finally accepted, "I love you…damn it….I love you Natsuki!" She looked up, tears streaming down her face. Nao searched Natsuki's warmly smiling face for rejection, but found none. Natsuki took her right hand and brushed away the tears from her eyes.
Natsuki opened her mouth to speak but was silenced by Nao's finger. Nao looked at her longingly and calmly stated, "Just kiss me, Kuga Natsuki…" Natsuki couldn't find the will to refuse this beautiful woman, so she pulled Nao even closer and brougt their lips together once more. This time around, Nao opened her mouth a little, not taking any further action than that. Natsuki saw this as a warm invitation and gladly gave in to it. Her tongue snaked around the inside of Nao's mouth, causing the younger girl to moan a little into the kiss. It wasn't long before Nao's tongue found Natsuki's and they danced together.
As they kissed, Natsuki found that controlling her 'urges' were harder than she thought, she kinda felt bad for Takeda now. She soon felt her control weakening as their kiss lingered on, and hearing Nao's light moans only aroused her even more. Natsuki could take it no longer as her right hand found the bottom of Nao's shirt. She pulled the shirt up to her navel only to stop when Nao pulled away from the kiss, but, before Nao was able to say anything Natsuki interrupted, "I love you Nao…" as she said those words, she took a stray hair from Nao's face and tucked it behind her ear. Nao stared wide-eyed at Natsuki's words and contemplated if Natsuki was only saying them to get into her pants, but all she saw was sincerity and love in those emerald orbs.
Nao smiled at Natsuki and kissed her once again, but this time, it was short. She then pulled away from Natsuki and put her left hand straight behind her back, while her right hand was put in a 'ya know' matter, her index finger pointing up to the sky. She winked at Natsuki, who was dumbfounded at the sudden movement, her arms still not retracted from their current position in hugging the air, and said, "Mama is expecting me home, so we'll have to continue some other time." She walked up to Natsuki seductively and whispered in her ear, "I'll make sure to take care of you as repayment for what you did for me yesterday…" She then grinded herself against Natsuki causing Natsuki to take a quick breath, while she herself couldn't hold in a small whimper.
When Nao pulled back once more, Natsuki was as red as a cherry. Nao still kept that seductive smile, but internally she was laughing her ass off at how cute Natsuki was as she picked the helmets up in a daze and opened the door, waiting for her to join her. As Nao walked out of the door, she was in the happiest state she had ever been in her whole life, and it felt good.
When they arrived at Nao's house, Natsuki removed her helmet and Nao followed. She was about to hand Natsuki the helmet, but Natsuki rejected it, "Keep it, one, I have no place to put it anyways, and two, it'll make it easier for me to pick you up Monday night." Natsuki smiled as Nao blushed.
Nao then put her seductive smile back on when she asked, "What, don't I get a good bye kiss?" Natsuki blushed, internally cursing herelf, but nonetheless kissed the younger girl. The kiss lasted a couple minutes until Natsuki pulled back
"It wouldn't do for your mom to catch us making out here Nao." Nao only laughed and winked at her lover as she made her way up her walkway. When she got there, she pulled out the key she had in her left pocket and unlocked the front door, not forgetting to turn around and catch Natsuki's surprised expression. Nao laughed and stepped inside, and left a dumbfounded Natsuki on her motorbike.
Natsuki's surprised expression turned into a warm smile as she let out a small chuckle and revved her bike up and rode back home.
