Chapter 5: Meeting Shizuru and Friends
I couldn't believe the sight that's in front of me. A goddess with light chestnut colored hair that went to the middle of her back. Her crimson colored eyes which showed confusion. She had the standard uniform on.
I quickly jumped to my feet and offered my right hand to her. "I'm sorry miss. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
She softly smiled, which I swear she caused my heart to skip a beat or two, and she laid her hand onto mine. "It's alright miss..."
"Natsuki, Natsuki Kuga and your name?" I softly asked with a smile.
"Shizuru, Shuzuru Fujino. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine Fujino-san. I just wished I didn't meet you by running into you," I said while scratching the back of my head.
She softly laughed, "It's alright Kuga-san."
"Please just call me Natsuki. I'm not much for honorifics."
"Only if you do the same," she stated.
As I was going to reply I heard someone clear their throat.
I turned to see my sisters and friends with either a smirk or a knowing smile.
"Oh, hi guys forgot you were there," I said with a sheepish smile.
"Shizuru let me introduce my sisters and friends."
"Please do," Shizuru said with a smile.
"The black haired one with braids is Nina my little sister, the cute little blonde is Alyssa my youngest sister, beside Alyssa is Juliet but she likes to be called Nao, the one with the big bust is Mai, the brown haired one is Aoi, the player beside her is her girlfriend Chie, the tall guy is Reito and the short one is Nagi." I said with an impish smile while I could hear the others making little comments.
"I'm not that little," Alyssa said with a pout.
"Don't call Juliet," Nao said with a frown.
"Hey!" Mai yelled with a blush.
"I am so not a player...well not anymore." Chie said with a downcast look while Aoi softly rubbed her back while muttering 'better not be.'
"I'm not that short." Nagi with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Yeah you are," Reito said.
"Ara, hello everyone. I'm Shizuru Fujino."
"It's very nice to also meet you Fuj-," Mai started before she got interrupted.
"SHI-CHAN/BUBUZUKE!" I could distinctly hear two female voices calling.
I turned to see a busty blonde with violet colored eyes and a short brown haired teen with light purple eyes.
They quickly made their way towards us.
"Are you alright Shi-chan?" the brown haired teen asked while checking Shizuru to see if she had any injuries.
I looked over towards Shizuru and raised my right eyebrow while mouthing 'Shi-chan.'
Shizuru looked towards the floor with a light blush on her face which made my heart beat a little faster.
She turned her head to look at her friend. "I'm fine Ahn. Just a little accident."
"ACCIDENT. THAT WAS NO ACNE!" the blonde shouted.
"It's accident not acne Haruka," Ahn corrected.
"THAT'A WHAT I SAID!" Haruka yelled.
Ahn and Haruka kept bickering about I have no clue as to what.
I sidestepped towards Shizuru. "Are the always like this?" I softly asked.
She looked at me before nodding, "Unfortunately."
"Are they dating?"
Shizuru brought her hand up to cover her giggle but before she could respond I heard. "NO!" from two different voices.
I looked to see Ahn and Haruka looking at me with an incredulous look from Ahn and an angry look from Haruka.
"Sorry, It's just you two bicker like you're a married couple," I stated.
"Ara, ara. That is true," Shizuru said with a teasing voice while nodding her head up and down.
"BUBUZUKE YOU KNOW I'M DATING YUKINO NOT AHN!" Haruka yelled with her face a crimson color.
"Wow, she's actually dating someone?" I asked Shizuru.
She nodded while Haruka was yelling, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
"What I mean is that I'm surprised that someone is willing to deal with your screeching," I replied teasing Haruka.
"She got you there," Ahn said while laughing.
Haruka's face resembled that of a tomato.
"Don't worry Haruka. I'm just teasing ya. I'm glad that you have someone," I said with a sincere smile.
Haruka's face started going back to her original skin tone.
"Anyways, I'm just wondering if your Yukino's last name is Chrysant by any chance," I asked.
"Yes, how would you know?"
'So she has grown up already. Last time I saw Yukino was ten years ago,' I thought to myself. "I actually know Yukino's parents and I met Yukino through them."
Haruka nodded understanding.
I looked over Haruka's shoulder to see quite a familiar face. She had a sort of mousy face, short brown hair and dark green eyes. Yukino by the looks of it hasn't changed since she was a little girl.
Yukino looked right at me with a giant smile. She quickly ran towards me while yelling 'NATSUKI-NEE-CHAN.' Knowing Yukino yelling is a rare thing. She is usually quiet and shy.
She quickly hugged me when she was close enough.
I softly chuckled. "It's good to you again Yu-chan," I replied with a smile while returning her hug.
I looked up to see Haruka and Ahn with wide eyes and dropped jaws while Shizuru had more control of her facial expressions but I could see her eyes were widened a fraction.
Yukino pulled back a shy smile. "Why are you so shy all of a sudden?" I softly teased.
She lightly blushed and looked down towards the floor. I softly laid my hand on her head and rubbed her head like I used to when she was just a child. "No need to be embarrassed. It has been a long time since we last saw each other."
Yukino looked up with a smile and softly replied, "Yes, it has been a while."
"Anyways, I hear you have a girlfriend," I softly teased.
Her faced turned a few shades redder. "H-h-how do you..."
"Look behind you Yu-chan," I said with a smirk.
Yukino turned around and came face to face with Haruka.
"H-haruka-chan," Yukino stuttered.
Haruka had a confused face, "Yukino you never scream except when we-"
Haruka got cut off when Yukino put her hand on Haruka's mouth. She looked over her shoulder at me with a heavy blush.
"I'm sorry Haruka what were you about to say," I said while cracking my knuckles. "By the sounds of it. It seems that you have deflowered my little cousin." I said with an angry voice while inside I was trying not laugh on the look on both Haruka's and Yukino's face.
"N-no Na-chan. We ha-haven't done th-that y-yet," Yukino said a stutter.
"Yet?" I questioned.
Her face went a little redder while Haruka's face paled.
I couldn't stop myself but laugh at their faces. My sides started to cramp. I could hear a few giggles behind me and a giggle to my left.
"Don't worry Yu-chan and Haruka. I was just teasing. Just make sure that you take care of Yukino, Haruka."
Haruka nodded.
"Congrats for finding a girlfriend Yukino."
"Th-thank you," Yukino replied shyly.
I felt a pull on my right sleeve. I looked to see Alyssa tugging.
"I'm starting to get hungry Nee-chan," she said shyly while I could hear her stomach softly growling.
"Okay, we'll go have some food," I softly replied. I looked towards Yukino and her group. "Yukino would you and your friends like to join us."
"Actually we already ate but I wouldn't mind hanging out with you," Yukino replied while the others nodded their heads.
"Great," I said while looking at the others and my gaze lingered a little more on Shizuru. Hopefully I can get to know Shizuru a little bit more.
Hey, DA here. I know that all of you are saying FINALLY for Shizuru coming into the picture. The next will be the gang hanging out in the cafeteria and some flirting going on between our favorite couple.
Omake:
D: Hey everyone. Shizuru and Natsuki cannot be here for this omake because well they are a little busy if you know what I mean. *Wiggle eyebrows* They don't know that I'm doing a short omake since I didn't want to interrupt them. But with me is Haruka, Ahn, and Yukino. Hey guys, how are you?
H: I'm doing quite finch.
Y: She means fine.
H: THAT'S WHAT I SAID!
A: Yeah, I'm sure that's what you meant.
H: WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEN?
Y: *Sigh* It's mean Haruka-chan.
A + H: *bickering*
D: I agree with Natsuki when she said they act like a married couple.
Y: *Nodding*
D: Well, since Ahn and Haruka won't be continuing with us. I will say fair well to all. DA out.
A + H: Goodbye everyone. *Continued bickering*
Y + D: *Shaking head*
