Chapter 6 - Love like a fairy tale

POV Shizuru

I will never forget yesterday's evening for the rest of my life. Since that evening, I'm officially Natsuki's girlfriend – girlfriend which will be a future queen of Germany. However, it is not important to me, she could be even an orphan, poor man, whoever and I would have loved her with all my heart. But… will her parents accept me? And what is worse – will my parents accept my choice of who I want to spend my life with... time will tell.


The next morning I was awakened by the sound of the opening door. When I looked at my watch, which was lying on the bedside table, I noticed that it was already 9 in the morning. Also near the watch laid a necklace which I received from my girlfriend the night before. Natsuki. I smiled unconsciously at my thoughts concerning my beloved raven - haired. Suddenly I remembered the problems; when I went to sleep around 23 my sister wasn't in the room yet. Where could she be all night? Please don't tell me that Reito... Without thinking, I stood up from bed and headed to the living room. When I was in the room I noticed Shizaru who was creeping up on her toes.

"Where were you?" I said in a firm voice. I could see how fast she turned to me and looked at me with shocked eyes.

"I thought you were with Natsuki, so I didn't want to bother you"

"Do not turn things upside down, it's not what I have asked you."

I noticed how rare blush appeared on the face of my sister. I got you!

"You see... Reito was slightly broken, when it turned out that he lost with your girl in a game of the richiest at the party. You haven't even told me that Natsuki is rich!"

„Shizaru!"

„All right, all alright. I went with Reito to the bar, there we danced for a while, then we started kissing each other and in the end I was with him at the hotel. If you ask me if we did 'it', my answer is: YES, and I do not regret this!"

I have never thought that my sister can be so straightforward. I knew that we are different but it's probably because I have crawled into my shell after I learned that I'm engaged. But now I know, that from today I can finally be myself. I took a deep breath and walked over to my sister. Without a word I hugged her.

„I would never despise you for your behavior."

„You don't blame me, Shizuru? "

„How could I be mad at you? I asked you to, or rather pushed you into his arms. I'm the one who should be sorry, I 'm such a bad sister..." She didn't let me finish my sentence when she put her finger on my already trembling lips.

„And I had never thanked you for it. You are the best sister that parents could ever give me."

Suddenly tears began to fall from our scarlet eyes. After all, maybe we are similar.

"So, maybe you'll tell me how was it? "

„Of course, if you tell me about yourself and Natsuki – kun." I saw a curious look in her eyes.

So we spent the rest of the morning with a cups of delicious green tea and stories about our respective loves.


POV Natsuki

Days went by, as they turned into weeks, then months, but still I have in my mind the image of Shizuru in a necklace belonging to my family for generations. This little frippery suits her perfectly and so beautifully highlights her lovely red eyes. I will never forget her beautiful flushed face that day.

As time passed inexorably, day by day I was more and more convinced that Shizuru is just "this" person, just for me. Every day we spent the time together during a lunch break, if it wasn't just the two of us it was in the company of her comrades. I met some of her friends: Michiru Kaioh – a childhood friend and wonderful violinist of the orchestra as well as President of the Academy Fuuka, Haruka Tenoh – girlfriend of an aforementioned girl, she plays the piano and during her spare time she participate in racing and motocross (I know that I will get along with her) and her colleagues from the student government: Haruka Suzushiro and Yukino Kikukawa. After class I'm often meeting with Shizuru in „our„ park from which it all has began. More than once I invited her for a dinner in a fancy restaurant, or we went to the cinema. In these days, I learned more and more new things about my girlfriend. She told me about her family, her childhood, dreams... I want to know everything about her.


One day, when I went out for a walk with Duran we passed a pet shop. For a moment I stopped near the shop window and watched animals. On display were dogs, cats, hamsters, parrots, fishes. It reminded me of words of Shizuru who told me about her childhood memories. That day, we sat on a bench and she was telling me these words while she stroked Duran's head, who, as it was his habit to put his mouth on her lap.

Shizuru : When I was 10 along with my sister I asked my dad about our own pet. To this day I remember his confused look and explanation of how it is a great duty to have a dog. When I mentioned that we would prefer a cat, he got quite upset while saying that he did not wish any cat in the house... In addition, he reminded me that I being an heiress to the Fujino Corporation have a lot more important duties, and we do not have time for a pet, and when we didn't leave him alone tipped he bought us a fish aquarium...

„Duran, what do you think about making a surprise for Zuru in the form of her own dog?" I looked at my ally. Duran only barked once and turned his gaze to the other side, the site where were little kittens. I smiled at him and patted him on his fur. „You're right, kitten will be more suitable for her. But which one?" Once again, I looked at him and I directed my gaze on what he was looking at. At the end of a large aquarium where were cats, in a corner, a white kitten of Turkish Angora breed slept alone. Once again I smiled. „Good choice. For sure she will like it, not to mention that their character fit her almost perfectly. Now wait here for me nicely, I'll be back„ So I bought her that little cat with the most needed things. Small kitten, which have been bought, was very scared and all the way to the house it had squealed. I wondered if this is why he was rejected by his comrades and stayed in solitude...

That same evening I went over to her dorm with this little gift. Most needed items which I purchased I left in the car. Fortunately, Shizuru being a president of the student council was also one of the people responsible for campus, so having a pet would not cause her any problems. Little Kiyo, because I named him like that, was hidden under my jacket, because I didn't want to arouse any suspicion, as well as to be a surprise for my girlfriend. When I arrived on the 3rd floor and then stood at the front door to a room 321 I took a deep breath and knocked. On the other side of the door you could hear a slight commotion and decrypt the sound: Ara, just a moment. I'll get it. I smiled and looked at the kitty, who was sleeping as usual. It was a moment and then I saw someone opening the door.

„Ara, Natsuki-kun. What are you doing here at this hour?" I looked at my watch and actually it was already quite late. I took a deep breath again.

„Good evening Shizaru-san. I'm sorry to bother you so late, but could I see Shizuru?"

„Of course. Come and I'll bring her... "

„I'll wait here," I did not let her finish the sentence. I saw a smile on her face and then she left the door open so I could see anything what is happening. She entered the room in which probably was my love.

„Shizuru, your princess from a fairy tale comes to visit you." If only you know that I am a princess.

After a while I saw the appearing form of Shizuru in shorts and sweatshirt. She is pretty even in that domestic outfit.

„Good evening, my Natsuki." She came up to me and kissed me gently on lips. After kiss I felt how my cheeks were turning red and after a while I was looking at both sides if by chance no one has seen us. I could hear a gentle chuckle coming from my miss. I turned to her and smiled at her. „What prompted you to visit me at 9 p.m.?"

„Good evening princess. I came because I have a surprise for you. "

„Natsuki, I told you already that I do not want gifts from you. It doesn't matter to me." I saw how suddenly she changed her facial expression and her mouth curved in a grimace. Wonderful view. I smiled and gently kissed her on the lips.

„I know, but I want to give you something. So be a good girl and close your eyes." I could see how with a 'not so satisfied smile' she closed her beautiful eyes. „Don't peek."

„Of course" When I made sure that Shizuru has her eyes closed I unbuttoned my jacket and handed in her delicate hands a gift. As soon as she felt an 'object' in her hands she automatically opened her eyes. „Natsuki.." I heard how she softly spoke my name from her lips, whereupon I saw her gaze directed at me.

„Zuru, say hello to your new friend Kiyo. When I saw her, I knew that she will be perfect for you "

„Kiyo... hime." I saw tears gathering in her eyes. I did not want to see her face in tears, so I gently wiped it with my hand and again I kissed her on lips.

„That's right, this is your kitty Kiyohime."

„So now we have our own child?" When I looked into her eyes I saw the fire. That's my Zuru who I love more than life. But after a while I have understood the meaning of her words, and once again I was blushing. „Ara, I was joking." She kissed me, but this time it was a passionate kiss, all this time she was gently holding the kitten in her hands. „Thank you. I love you."

„I love you too. Go say hello to your new friend, and I'll go for the rest of her things." She just nodded her head and gently hugged to her chest already awakened Kiyo, whereupon I turned around and went to my car for the rest of the stuff.


POV Shizuru

I never thought that Natsuki would do such a surprise for me and buy me a kitten... and what a kitten... a Turkish Angora breed. This is one of the oldest breeds that ever existed, as well as they are known for being very intelligent and probably very expensive. But this little kitten is lovely.

With this little kitten which purred with satisfaction in my hands I headed to my room. At this point nothing really matters to me, only her and Natsuki that soon will come here. When I walked into my room I saw on my bed a sitting Shizaru, which has a curious smile on her face.

"See what Natsuki gave me." I gently put Kiyohime on my bed and sat down next to her and my sister. Kitten looked up at me with her blue eyes, after that she directed her gaze on my sister. Perhaps she was confused at seeing two identical people. I stretched out my hand to her... „Kiyo don't be afraid, that's just my sister Shizaru who for sure will feed you from time to time." She suddenly came up to me and sat on my lap.

„How sweet he is."

„That's her." I smiled at my sister while stroking my cat behind her ear. After a while I was hearing her quiet purr after closing her eyes.

„Natsuki must really love you, when every moment she give you such trifles. First the flowers, then she invites you to a cinema or for a dinner, and now this little wonder. I'm jealous." I laughed after hearing her words. If Reito studied in the same city it would be similar but I think he would have been thinking that he gives these gifts to me. Fortunately, he accepted the fact that I will never love him. I was also glad that he got along with Shizaru and they started to fall in love with each other. However, all of this was still a secret, and none of our parents knew what was really going on. Unexpectedly I heard a knock at the door. Without thinking, I went to the front door, knowing that this was definitely my beloved one.

„Here I am. Here, you have the most necessary things for her..." I didn't let her finish and just kissed her passionately on lips and then I strongly hugged her, ignoring the fact that she was still holding in her hands things for Kiyo. She is everything to me and I had no idea what I would do without her. Kami-sama thank You that You gave her to me.

"T- thank you, I really thank you..." Once again that night I felt that I got tears in my eyes.

„No need to thank me for anything, you deserved to get a lot more than that." I was looking at her in shock, because no one ever spoke to me words like that. "Come, we'll prepare things for your Kiyohime." After these words we had gone into my apartment in the dorm.


Natsuki left our dorm room at about 11 p.m. I did not want to be separated with her so soon, so I invited her for a tea, which she was happy to accept. Actually it was the first time she has been in my apartment in Fuuka. Usually, she was waiting for me in the hallway at the front door refusing to entry, or waiting in the hall. My apartment in a dormitory is divided into 2 bedrooms, kitchen combined with a living room, shared bathroom and said hall. During her visit we were talking with each other in my bedroom. Shizaru said that she should go to sleep earlier. In fact, I knew she did not want to disturb us.

After Natsuki's leaving, I went to the bathroom to get changed and directed my steps back to my bedroom. When I walked into the room, I immediately directed my gaze towards my bed, where my sweet baby was sleeping already next to my pillow. Kiyo, you are so cute. I smiled unconsciously, and when I switched off the light I went to bed.
