chapter 7- title?

"When you start to wonder everything starts to be different"-NK


"ne ne Nao-san could you tell me more about Natsuki?" a happy and a somewhat tipsy Shizuru asked while she took another sip from her drink.

Nao raised an eyebrow towards Shizuru.

Interesting. The red head thought.

Nao excused herself from her groupie and went closer to Shizuru." What would you like to know about my good old cousin?" Nao asked and for a minute or so Shizuru pondered, tilting her head slightly to the right somehow that made Nao thought that Shizuru was cute in a sexy way.

Shizuru is no ordirnary babe

"Well, what are her likes and dislikes. Knowing such simple facts would suffice my curiosity" Shizuru said with a smile and a tint of red hues was starting to appear on her cheeks.

ara.. I'm getting light headed.

Nao laughed rather loudly " she practically hates everything excluding mayonnaise, dogs, bikes..big ones!..books, laptop and her overly huge collection of underwear that she hides under her bed " Nao added the last part so fast that Shizuru couldn't understand.

"You see Shizuru-neechan" Nao leaned a little closer to Shizuru. "My cousin is like a plain bowl of rice with glasses. She easily gets satisfaction from simple things. People might see her as a geek or a hermit, or even worst a hobo "Nao wasn;'t really exaggerating when describing Natsuki. Natsuki at first glance is a total mess. She was like a homeless girl minus the branded clothes that she wears. Her hair is long and messy that mostly covers her face. She seldom associates herself with people, that sometimes gives her a hard time approaching one. Only does she interact when she's in a meeting, talking with her employees and clients. Natsuki only loves to read and create a new world with her laptop.

"I like rice" out of the blue Shizuru blurted out the words making Nao to laugh some more. "It's simple yet it's essential in every meal especially here in Japan" she said as a matter of fact. " and Natsuki is a beauty" Shizuru said giggling taking yet another sip from her drink.

"I agree! I love my cousin even though she gets crazy and stupid at times, I Just can't help but love her! She just doesn't realize it but she;s a hot mess if only she fixed herself and all that plus she's so fun to tease and I just find it amusing to irritate her to no end" Nao continued laughing so hard that she didn't notice that Mai had stopped singing and most of the girls in the room was quite. " and Shizuru you would love to her about Natsuki when-" Nao stopped when she heard a cough from behind. Slowly turning around blazing green orbs and a very sweaty Natsuki was looking at her.

Nao felt chills run down her spine " Yo! Cousin. I've been worried sick about you" Nao exclaimed " You look tired and ugly!" She patted Natsuki in the back " Joking bro. Come here and have a sit. Shizuru here was just dying to know about your biography. I might say she seems to be a reporter or a journalist" She pointed at Shizuru who was still giggling and waving at them. Smiling, blushing and giggling.

Natsuki on the other hand was still glaring daggers at Nao" NAO!" Natsuki said angrily "We. .Talk" Nao only smiled innocently.

"Cousin my love relax a little would ya?" She dragged Natsuki near Shizuru thinking that it would work out." Come and have a drink beside shizuru as I would get some drink or something while I still use your card for emergency.k bye" Nao ran somewhere to hide from her raging cousin and get a drink. Natsuki wasn't able to react or catch up with Nao as her aching legs were already at its limit. She was running back and forth so she could find Nao, Mai and Shizuru luckily she remembered that she installed a tracking device inside Nao's phone just in case she would do something so stupid that it would require Natsuki to go for a hunt. So she went back to her condominium and turned her laptop on to search for her psychotic cousin on the map. Natsuki slummed down at the sofa and took a deep breath.

"I'll get you next time Nao" Natsuki said tiredly." Mai too" Mai just smiled at her and proceed to singing, seeing to it that Natsuki wasn't going to choke her to death for now.

"Ara" Natsuki jolted from her seat remembering that a red-eyed goddess was sitting beside her.

"woah! Shizuru!" Natsuki adjusted her glasses. " Sorry about my eccentric cousin and friend for dragging you here" Natsuki bowed her head just to emphasize how sorry she really was. She was actually guilty that she had entrusted Shizuru to her cousin knowing very well how Nao's mind worked. It's like Nao's brain is like a broken clock.

"Rest assured that this wouldn't happen again. Did she touch you perversely? Or say something in a lewd way? Tell me and I'll make sure that she gets extra detention and lecturing from me." Natsuki wiped away her messy locks from her face and adjusted again her glasses. It was slipping from all the sweat that she was giving.

Shizuru only giggled girlishly that made natsuki to look at her weirdly

" You ok?" looking at it closely, Shizuru was different. Natsuki touched Shizuru's forehead thinking that she was having a fever.

"Ara~" Shizuru made a seductive noise that Natsuki found herself blushing. Sexy.

"Sorry." Natsuki quickly said.

"Natsuki does not need to apologize, she hasn't done anything wrong. I was just startled by Natsuki's cold yet soft hand" Shizuru replied as she moved closer to Natsuki, who was frozen in her place. " Natsuki should not worry herself for I am perfectly fine" Natsuki made a relief look." Though I have been feeling a little light headed after I've drank some juice." Natsuki looked at a glass which in her opinion contains tequila and immediately thought that Shizuru was getting drunk

" Would Natsuki help me?" Shizuru seductively continued and Natsuki could only nod. "Ara Natsuki is so kind." Where do I get this confidence? Shizuru asked to herself as she finds a new courage in her, like she was ready to tell something about Natsuki but she just can't remember what exactly.

"I'm not really that kind" Natsuki said sheepishly and looked away from Shizuru, her already worn out heart was beating rapidly, like it was ready to burst out from her rib cage and say goodbye.

She can't also help but think that the distance between her and Shizuru was shorter than her pen. She can already smell the sweet jasmine on her, the heat radiating from Shizuru's body and how Shizuru seem to look more attractive especially how her face was blushing.

Is this how it feels like to have sex? Natsuki randomly thought and mentally slapped herself. I probably should stop watching game of thrones for this.

Shizuru on the other hand was controlling herself so hard so as not to pounce on Natsuki,

Natsuki was getting cute, especially the messy look that she is in. Her raven heard locks where everywhere, her shirt was in disarray (in a sexy way) that showed some of Natsuki's bare skin and how those glasses hanging loosely at her cute nose really adds to the effect of turning on Shizuru.

Shizuru, don't be a woman eater. Please control yourself, a refined lady should not be thinking in this manner.

"I can't even associate myself well with people that I sometimes scare them off away and hurt them" Natuski manage to say so that it would distract her thoughts from Shizuru and perhaps to give her sometime to think of a way to handle the situation " I can't even remember people so much because I was too engrossed on books and stuff and to myself. I consider it a miracle that people like Mai, Chie and Aoi, are persistent bugs that saw the real me even if I was selfish at times" Natsuki laughed off the last part.

"But enough about that!" Suddenly changing the topic Natsuki, seeing that the topic was getting emotional in her part " I think we need to get out from here Shizuru, you're getting tipsy" She said with concern. Shizuru was indeed getting tipsy; she was having this crazy idea in her head about eating Natsuki and how she wanted to say those words. It was at the tip of her tongue but she just can't remember what it really is and it frustrate her

"Ara-ara you might be right. I was thinking how that juice Nao-san gave me taste weird"

Natsuki noted to herself that Nao will be punish severely that she needs to read 100 history books and her allowance would be cut down. Honestly, how on earth can Nao be such a troublemaker at her age?… I wonder what would happen when she's 20 or more.

Mustering her remaining strength Natsuki stood up and reached out for Shizuru "let's go" Shizuru quickly held Natsuki's hand like she had wanted so for many years.

"Lead the way my valiant knight" Shizuru said giggling. The alcohol was getting to her head indeed

"ok Shizuru you really need to freshen up and an ice cold bath would do" Natsuki first went to Mai, Shizuru on hand.

"Mai please clean up I need to take Shizuru home. If you do something stupid again I would eat a load of mayonnaise for a month" Natsuki threaten which made Mai's eye widen in horror. Seeing Natsuki consume those white craps was a nightmare to Mai.

"Holy cow! Don't you dare eat those sorry for the word, shitty food again Natsuki. I swear on my cookbook that you would not consume those again" Mai snapped" I'll do anything so you could just stop eating garbage" Natsuki doesn't know if she should get mad about Mai for insulting her favorite mayonnaise or be happy that Mai was back to herself and was ready to follow as she says.

"Whatever just please clean up here. Get Nao and my card. Thank you" Natsuki quickly left Mai.

As they went out to the karaoke club or whatever it was that Nao decided to go in with Natsuki was relief to be out in the open.

"Shizuru you ok?" Natsuki checked at Shizuru who was constantly giggling behind her, and was walking weirdly that people around them was whispering and looking at them strangely. Natsuki glared at them, trying to scare them off and it worked.

The girl was obviously not ok or normal "that's a no then" Natsuki quickly hailed a cab and gently lead Shizuru in it. Practically Natsuki did not once let go of Shizuru's hand neither did she let her eyes off from Shizuru afraid that the moment she let's go Shizuru would be out in the cab and off somewhere. Shizuru was talking randomly to the taxi driver and to Natsuki, still giggling. Natsuki tried her best to distract shizuru until Shizuru leaned to her shoulder and quite down a bit, slowly drifting to dreamland. Seeing that Shizuru was sleeping made Natsuki to relax. Alcohol plus Shizuru would be a no no no!

Shizuru was standing in front of a crowd, it was nostalgic, watching her She can't help but feel a little bit nervous, and afraid but none the less she smiled at them. Giving them her most perfect face and that made everyone clap and cheered for her. Everyone was giving her smiles, fake ones and she clearly knows it. Only the master of façade can tell if one is telling a lie or if one is being real and Shizuru is a master of deceit. She started waving and the crowds cheered more.

They were strangers to her but she had to pretend that she knew them all with all her heart or else they would hate her. She doesn't know why she was here, for a moment she was with Natsuki.

Natsuki! She remembered. She was with Natsuki and now she was with a crowd she can't even remember. She frantically searched for Natsuki, looking for a very familiar serious face. Someone who never tried to drown her to be someone no her. Someone she can feel the real warm.

She searched but she could not find Natsuki only the faces she doesn't understand.

Faces that doesn't see the pain in her eyes.

Natsuki? Where are you?

"Shizuru!" Everyone shouted. Cheering her but she was too distracted trying to search for Natsuki. " Smile for us!" they said in union. Shizuru can't help but feel like she was drowning. Like the air around her was poison, choking her. The crowd started surrounding her, trapping her making it hard to move.

"Please excuse me. I need to look for someone" She tried to push herself out but the crowd was still swarming around her.

"Smile for us Princess!" they shouted.

Shizuru was about to cry, she can no longer feel herself, the faces around her was mocking her, they weren't listening to her.

"Stop. Please I need to look for Natsuki" She knelt down hiding herself from the eyes that haunted her.

Eyes that ignored her from within.

Natsuki help

Suddenly there was silence around her and the poison like air around her disappeared.

She slowly raised herself and looked around, there was no one but herself. She looked up above her and slowly millions of snowflakes start to descent. It was weird though it was snowing it was warm. She felt safe even though she was alone the snow flakes were keeping her safe and it reminds her.

"Natsuki!" she suddenly exclaimed; she then started walking, now the ground was covered in snow. Wherever she looked everything was covered in white. There wasn't a tree or a post anywhere, just plain white that stretches far and wide. It was better than being surrounded with strangers and scrutinizing eyes.

Shizuru finally stopped in front a huge tree. It felt like hours since she started walking it was a relief that she saw something that could make her stop for a while.

Amazed by the size of the tree, and how it was the only thing that wasn't covered in snow, Shizuru was mesmerized and it felt like she'd seen this tree from before. it was vibrant, and it was the only thing that felt like summer.

She went to the other side of the tree only to stumble down from walking on something.

"Ouch" She winced "Ara dreams can be so weird yet so real." She said to herself.

" A sorry would be nice don't you think?" A familiar voice made her jump and quickly scanned the area.

A person who seem to be surrounded with books was leaning against the tree startled , Shizuru, she could not help find it familiar though she can't see the person's face for it was covered by a book.

"Ara, I'm sorry, I never knew that someone would be here" She apologized and find the words familiar.

"Well now, you know. So you, better be careful next time" said the stranger, the stranger then removed the book to reveal its identity. The stranger had a short pixie raven hair that was in a mess, the stranger seems to be the type of person who doesn't care about clothing because the stranger was wearing a white lab coat with a statement shirt that says FUCK OFF and a black short. The stranger had these familiar vibrant emerald eyes that made Shizuru's heart jump. The more Shizuru analyzed the stranger the more she realized that the stranger was just a kid. 14 or 15 of age.

"Well it would be better if Stranger-san wouldn't be sleeping anywhere especially out in the open" Shizuru retorted back.

"This stranger find it comfortable to sleep here and besides I don't see a sign that says that I can't be here" Shizuru was taken a back and can't help but laugh.

"Ara you've got a sharp tongue child"

"Hey Stop talking like you're old enough to be my mother little girl" Shizuru was about to reply out when she realized that she had become a child herself. She was shorter than the stranger; she assumes that she was about 13 or age.

"ara you're right"

"Hey, why are here anyway? It's strange that someone might be able to find my secret hiding spot but since you're here keep it a secret between you and me." Shizuru then scold herself for forgetting that she had to look for Natsuki. She then quickly stood up

"Thank you for reminding me about that Stranger-san. I better go before I forget again. And this place is a secret between us, pinky swear" She smiled that made the stranger to look at her oddly.

"I don't believe in that kind of crap you know, that pinky swear. A promise should be written in papers so that they would not find an excuse to forget and please my name is K-"

"Shizuru? Wake up, here take this" Shizuru slowly opened her eyes as she heard Natsuki's gentle voice.

ara what a dream. Im sure I know that kid somewhere but where? Shizuru noticed that she was lying on Natsuki's bed. Then she realized that Natsuki carried her.

Ara I wish I would have been awake to have hugged her tightly. Shizuru mischievously thought.

"I'm sorry to wake you up but you have to drink this so that you would feel a lot better tomorrow." Natsuki handed out a glass of water " I look it up in the internet that when someone is slightly drunk just give them water to release out the alcohol. I am not good at this really, when Nao was drunk or Mai I just sleep them off." Natsuki jokingly said.

"Thank you Natsuki" Shizuru smiled and took Natsuki's hand. Holding it.

"No problem and um I bought some medicine just in case you need it."Natsuki tried her best not to stutter or blush even more which Shizuru find it amusing." And oh after that you should take a ice cold bath. It will make you feel even better"

"Natsuki should be tired as well ne? You have been running a lot and after carrying me here would have taken its toll" Shizuru said pulling Natsuki beside her." Let's sleep together then? of course after we take a bath" Shizuru suggested teasingly.

"It's no big deal really, you're not that heavy at all. light as a feather" Natsuki quickly added, She wasn't a sporty person that it amazed her how she could have carried Shizuru and manage to run down to buy some medicine." Ah I've already taken a bath while you were sleeping so you should go ahead and I'm perfectly fine sleeping on the sofa no big deal . so uh yeah hahaha " Natsuki can't help but feel nervous. She doesn't know if Shizuru was still drunk.

Fuck. what to do now. push her down? hit hear head? NO NO! Natsuki be sensitive here. Shizuru is not some kind of animal that you get to hit her head neither is she Nao. gah I must be so tired that I could think such morbid Ideas!.

SHizuru noticed the troubled look on Natsuki and decide to stop the teasing.

"Ara I think I should take a bath, excuse me for a moment Natsuki" Shizuru excused herself and went to the bathroom.

"Oh by the way there's a shirt and some underwear for you to sleep in with so yeah." Natsuki scratched her head.

"Thank you again Natsuki. I really do"

"no big deal. Go on now take a bath already so you can sleep" Natsuki insisted she can't control her blushing anymore. Shizuru was getting into her in a pleasant way.

oh by the way I need to charge my phone to call up granpa and ask him about Shizuru. What does he mean that Shizuru is someone that I should have already known. I don't remember someone like her do I? Natsuki thought hard trying to remember every person she had met but the only thing is that she's not good at remembering names or person. I blame myself for being a book worm that I can;t remember nonfictional being. I better look at my old stuff tomorrow. Natsuki yawned and stretched her aching body. whether Shizuru is real or not She's real to me.

"Shizuru I'm just gonna keep this bed warm for a bit ok. I.." She yawned again."wake me up when you're done" She said tiredly and then removed her glasses " Shizuru" and off Natsuki to sleep.

"Did Natsuki called?" Shizuru called out,she then slowly opened the door after she had fixed herself. "Natsuki?" she called again only to see a sleeping Natsuki.

"Ah. kawaii~!" she squealed and went to where Natsuki is. She then positioned herself beside Natsuki, covering the both of them with a blanket.

"Night Natsuki" she then kissed Natsuki's forehead and felt like exploding.

ara ara so kawaii. I just hope that I don;t eat you Natsuki..fufufu.. Shizuru then turned off the lights but before that she can't help but remember about the kid in her dream. How that kid reminds her so much of someone warm and love. especially that glasses and that voice.

"I wanted to know who I really am and what you really are to me Natsuki. It must be fate that had brought us together" with that Shizuru fell into a deep warm slumber as she pushed herself closer to Natsuki.

.must be fate.


"Can I have my day off?" the girl said" I just need to see that someone" the girl was persistent and clearly was trying to convince a certain stubborn manager. "Seeing her would bring nothing but joy"

"Sheesh. Fine you can have a two day day off" another girl replied in a loud voice

"Make that 4"the girl demanded. Her voice was crystal clear like a diva.

It took a while for the manager to reply that made the girl impatient

"Don't be stingy Haruka. You know I've been following your orders" She retorted.

Haruka sighed " deal. Go ahead and enjoy your 5 day vacation" The girls eyes lighten up that could let you fall.

"Thank you so much Haruka"she hugged her manager.

"But promise me you won't cause any scene that could make the media go wild and cause something that could break my head into two?" the manager quickly said as she moved away from the girl's hug.

the girl smiled" Promise" the manager doesn;t look convince and eyed the girl suspiciously." If you want, we could write a written promise for that so that we can't forget" The girl quickly took a pen, wrote something and sign and then presented the paper to the manager"there. Sign here and rest assured that I won't break that promise" the girl said with a big smile.
