Chapter 4

________________________________________________________________________

"Yes Fujino-san this is Dr. Gram and I was calling to see if you would like to see our newest edition to our staff in action." Shizuru thought about it quickly before agreeing to come.

"I'll be there in a few minutes." With that she hung up, said goodbye to everyone, then left to the hospital.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Natsuki and Anh skidded to a stop in front of the hospital, jumped out and sprinted into the hospital. Anh lead Natsuki to her office and tossed some blue scrubs at her then they ran to the delivery room.

Natsuki and Anh both rushed into the delivery room and were greeted quickly by Dr. Gram before he ushered them in further. There laying on the bed was Yukino Kikukawa sweating profusely as lay on the bed in labor. Haruka Suzushiro stood there in blue scrubs, her hand being crushed by her girlfriend's. Haruka looked up at Natsuki and her face went blank before her expression turned murderous and angry.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE KUGA! AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO BUBUZUKE I SHOULD JUST KICK YOUR ASS!" Haruka was about to lunge at Natsuki, but Dr. Gram stepped out in front of her.

" Suzushiro-san please, Kikukawa-san is in labor and the last thing she needs is more screaming…Dr. Kuga here is going to deliver her baby so please keep calm." Haruka calmed down at the mention of Yukino and watched her girlfriend's face.

"If you fuck this up Kuga you will be wishing to die by the time I'm through with you." Haruka growled at Natsuki dangerously.

Natsuki nodded her head curtly as she prepared all the necessary items. Once Natsuki was done she stood in between Yukino's legs.

"Okay now Yukino-san I want you to take short breaths, but don't push until I say so." Natsuki's voiced didn't waver.

Yukino nodded her head in agreement, but squeezed her eyes ( and Haruka's hand) tighter as another wave of pain wracked her body.

An hour passed and it was finally time.

"Now Yukino, I need you to push."

Yukino pushed and a scream ripped from her throat. Haruka whipped her head around to glare at Natsuki and yell, but the grip crushing her hand kept her quiet.

"I see the head now…keep pushing." More screams echoed in the room.

Fifteen minutes later a beautiful baby girl was born. Everyone in the room had a gentle smile on their face except for Natsuki.

"You did it congratulations…" Dr. Gram was cut off by Natsuki.

"Anh I need to get a blood transfusion now or we are going to lose Yukino-san…blood type AB!" Natsuki handed the newborn to one of the R.N. s to clean her up.

Natsuki then rushed Yukino to the operating room. Haruka had to be held back by six doctors. She watched as the operating room doors slowly closed.

________________________________________________________________________

Outside the operating room, looking through a one-way window

Shizuru along with a few of the hospital's doctors watched Natsuki Kuga deliver a child and detect a serve amount of blood loss during the delivery. They were quite impressed as they watched Dr. Kuga perfectly conduct a blood transfusion.

"She is very good." The doctors started to talk amongst themselves as Shizuru continued to watch Natsuki while having a battle inside he mind.

'She looks so sexy in uniform.'

'No she doesn't, remember you don't feel that way about her any more ever since she left without a word.' Came a harsh voice.

'Yes she did leave, but I wasn't there I was in a meeting with my parents and I didn't have my phone.'

'This is not your fault! She could have emailed you or something, but no she left!' The harsh voice hissed.

'She did leave…why did you leave me Natsuki? Was I not good enough? I-I loved you…I love you.'

'We tried so damn hard to forget her, but it's no use…let's make her wish she never hurt us…let's show her what it is like to have something so close you can touch it, then rip it away.'

'Make her want us, but not give it to her…' Shizuru's inner battle came to a stop when Natsuki wheeled Yukino out of the operating room and into the recovery room.

'Yes…looks like it's time to play.' With that Shizuru excused hr self and walked towards Dr. Kuga's office to wait for her prey.

________________________________________________________________________

As soon as Natsuki came out of the recovery room she was slammed into the wall by a very, very angry Haruka.

"KUGA! YUKINO BETTER KNEE ALRIGHT!" Haruka's grip on Natsuki's collar tightened.

"It's be." Natsuki deadpanned

"SHUT UP! Why don't you explain to me WHY YOU LEFT BUBUZUKE FOR EIGHT YEARS WITHOUT EVEN A GOODBYE!"

"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS SO KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT!" Natsuki shouted back in Haruka's face using her coldest glare possible nearly causing Haruka to take a few steps back.

"IT IS MY BUSINESS BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE LEFT TO PICK UP THE PIECES…HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER!"

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, SHE IS THE ONE…." Natsuki trailed off breaking eye contact with Haruka.

"SHE IS THE ONE WHAT, SPIT IT OUT KUGA!"

"She is the one who said she wanted nothing to do with me…she even said that she could never fall for someone like me and that she pretended to have feelings for me because…, BECAUSE SHE FUCKING PITYED ME!" Natsuki shoved Haruka off and walked away, but stopped.

"BUBUZUKE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!" Haruka stood up and was about to grab at Natsuki's shirt when Natsuki tuned her head.

"I didn't think so at the time either." Haruka noticed that Natsuki had a blank face, but the tears that threatened to fall gave away what Natsuki was truly feeling. 'Every time I called she didn't answer, but when I texted her…I got the same if not worse response, I just stopped trying.' Natsuki sighed.

"….."

"I feel like such a bitch for yelling at her after all these years." Natsuki sighed. "I should explain to her why I left huh Haruka-san…great I'm so lost I'm asking you for help." A small blush of embarrassment colored he cheeks.

"I-I…just go talk to her, I DON'T KNOW…WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME!?" There was a blush on Haruka's face.

"Heh…anyways you can go in and see Yukino anytime, go on in and I'll be right back." Natsuki walked down the hall as Haruka went into the room and sat by the sleeping Yukino, moving the hair out of hr face.

Natsuki walked into the nursery and found Anh. Anh smiled gently at Natsuki and handed her the newborn baby girl. Natsuki cradled the infant gently and held her close as she left the room.

When Natsuki made her was to the recovery room she knocked quietly earning a small 'come in'. Natsuki pushed the door open and strode over to the couple. She smiled softly and handed Haruka the bundle in her arms.

Yukino's eyes opened up only to see Haruka holding their child gently as if she where made out of glass. She smiled and looked up at Natsuki who was looking out the window with a distant expression.

'I could've had this…' Natsuki thought back to all the times she had with Shizuru and how happy they both were.

"Kuga-san?" Natsuki cleared her head and glanced at Yukino.

"Yes?"

"Arigato ." Yukino smiled.

"No problem." Natsuki watched as Haruka moved to sit on the bed beside Yukino and handed her their child. "I'll give you two some privacy." With that Natsuki left.

Natsuki let out a sigh as she made her way back to Anh's office. When she got there she spotted Anh on the couch. She walked up to the doctor and plopped on the couch near her feet.

"You have your own office ya know." Anh opened her eyes and eyed Natsuki tiredly.

"I don't know where it is so if ya tell me I'll get outta here."

"It's down the hall on the far right." Natsuki nodded and went to her office.

Natsuki looked at the gold plate that read Dr. Natsuki Kuga and couldn't help, but feel a little bit of pride. She opened the door and stepped in. Natsuki walked over to the bathroom, saw her clothes, and changed. She washed her hands and face before going into her office and sitting in the big, black, comfy chair with wheels. Natsuki let out a sigh and relaxed until she heard a giggle that caused her back to tense up.

Out of a dark corner came Shizuru with her façade smile. She walked up seductively to Natsuki causing the raven haired girl's mouth to drop slightly. Natsuki was frozen in her place as Shizuru stopped in front of her chair, in between her knees. Natsuki couldn't help, but stare.

"See anything you like Na-tsu-ki." Shizuru leaned over and whispered seductively into Natsuki's ear.

Natsuki blushed slightly, but not as much as she used to she has Anh's teasing and flirting to thank for that.

Shizuru frowned when she didn't see the full on blush she was expecting and decided to turn up the heat. She crawled up into Natsuki's lap and straddled her hips, resting her arms on the back of the chair.

"Fujino-san please…can you get off I-I n-need to speak with y-you." Natsuki inwardly cursed herself for the stutter at the end.

"Ara you are talking Na-tsu-ki." Shizuru hid her mischievous yet evil smile as she looked at Natsuki from the corner of her eyes.

Natsuki was embarrassed and heat pooled between her legs, but she remembered what she had to talk to Shizuru about and steeled her resolve…her face became passive.

'Ara so Natsuki wants to act her way…hmm I'll just have to turn it up some.' With that Shizuru began to grind her hips on Natsuki's.

"D-damn it S-Shizuru, will you just stop!" Natsuki pulled herself up out of the chair, caught Shizuru before she fell, and set her in the chair.

'Why was she so gentle…no don't fall for it…bad Shizuru.' Shizuru eyed the tired looking raven haired woman.

"Ara, I'm listening," Shizuru put her hands in her lap and watched the woman in front of her.

Natsuki rubbed the back of her neck in a nervous fashion.

"I apologize for yelling at you today Fujino-san…" Natsuki sighed while looking out the window.

"Ara…well you sure have changed Na-tsu-ki." Shizuru was disappointed to find that Natsuki looked back into her eyes without a blush. 'She's serious.'

"I wanted to explain myself for leaving in return…I want to know why you…hated me so much." Natsuki had trouble speaking the thoughts running around in her head.

'Ara, hated her…where did she get that idea!' Shizuru thought angrily.

"I got a phone call eight years ago from Yamada who told me…my mother had survived the accident when we ran from District one." It was hard for Natsuki to say this all with the calm expression on her face when her emotions were running rapid.

'Her mother, but she said she died…it's no excess she hurt me…so badly.' Shizuru wanted to cry, but wouldn't give Natsuki the satisfaction.

"It turns out she had just come out of a coma…so I packed my bags and headed to America." Natsuki paused.

"Ara and you didn't even call me to say goodbye." Shizuru managed to say this with a calm expression, but her harsh voice gave away her inner anger.

"No I didn't say goodbye those two days…I did however call you and ask…" Natsuki was cut off as her office door opened revealing a smiling Raito.

"Good evening Shizuru-Chan." Raito walked up and enveloped Shizuru in an embrace.

'So she's moved on, tsk, figures…she never loved me to begin with, what an actress you are Shizuru.' Natsuki turned her body to dace the window, the days events started to take a toll on her body.

Shizuru noticed that Natsuki had her head and decided it was time to show the girl just what she had missed out on. She untangled herself from Reito, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. Shizuru cracked open an eye to watch Natsuki's expression.

As soon as Natsuki witnessed the kiss between the to she averted her eyes to the view outside the window. Her eyes briefly show hints of sadness, but she quickly covered it up. Shizuru noticed it and smirked. 'Ara my plan is working.'

"Good evening to you too Raito-kun." Shizuru even added a wink to push Natsuki into showing so emotion, but was disappointed when all she got was Natsuki staring blankly out the window.

"Shizuru-Chan, I need to talk to Dr. Kuga privately…do you mind?" Raito smiled on of his charming smiles at Shizuru.

"Alright, I'll go see if the cafeteria has any tea." With that Shizuru left, but something caught her eye. It was Natsuki's cell phone, the same one she had eight years ago. Shizuru quickly picked it up and left to the cafeteria.

________________________________________________________________________

With Raito and Natsuki

"What is it that you wished to talk about Kanzaki-san?" Natsuki's tone was very professional.

"You should stay away from Shizuru, Kuga." Raito lost his smile and a sneer replaced it.

"She came in here not me." Came Natsuki's bunt reply as she sat behind her desk and organized some papers.

"Hmm…you know you should never trust a text message no matter who's phone number it came from." Raito walked over to the door and leaned on the wall beside it.

"What are you talking about Kanzaki-san?" Natsuki was slightly confused by what Raito was saying.

"I must thank you though, you lead Shizuru right into my arms because of some silly text message." Raito examined his nails.

"How did you…" Things didn't add up. Shizuru said she didn't know about a text message and yet Raito does…something was up.

"Are you that stupid…it's a wonder how you manage to have friends, who would like someone like you." Raito grinned a knowing grin and got up.

That last phrase brought back a memory.

Flashback

Natsuki and Shizuru where in the student council room when Raito walked in.

"Hello Shizuru I wanted to thank you for letting me borrow your phone." Raito pulled Shizuru's violet sidekick out of his pocket and handed it to her then left.

"You let him use your phone?" Natsuki looked at Shizuru as if she grew another head.

"Yes I do after all we are childhood friends and I trust Raito."

"Tsk, whatever floats your boat."

"Do you wish to float my boat Na-tsu-ki?" Shizuru teased and watch

Natsuki's face turn red.

"Shizuru!"

End Flashback

"It was you!" Natsuki finally realized the truth, so she stood up and slammed her hands down on her desk.

"Yes, but you're too late…goodbye Dr. Kuga." With that Raito left Natsuki's office.

"Fuck!" Natsuki hit her desk cutting her knuckles. "What have I done." Natsuki slumped down on her chair and covered her face. She felt so ashamed…so used…and most of all, broken.
