A/N: Hello again~! So, just to make this clear and (I don't think it would) not to confuse anyone, this chapter is Shizuru's side of the story. I finally got to write as Shizuru ^-^

Problem is...I think I went OOC O_O...please tell me is I did. :L


"Shizuru, sit down."

"What is it?" Her father was a stern man in all aspects, but this was the first time the two had a real and serious conversation.

The man looked up, and their crimson eyes both met instantly. "I got a report from your school about two days ago; a student reported their sensei saying they saw an 'illicit same sex relationship,' going on in the student council room."

"And what does this has to do anything with me? Is it something you want the, I, the student council president, to handle?"

"Don't try lying your way out of this, Shizuru. We both know what you were doing at that time."

"Well exactly what was I doing? There are only four things that come to mind when I think of that room; meetings, fixing student problems while declining and accepting their ideas, and paperwork."

"Quit screwing around! They said you were with some girl doing ecchi things." He was yelling yet still remaining calm; unlike Shizuru that is, who could barley even keep her head up.

"There are plenty of people who wanted to become President, and want to get back at me. So how does this prove anything? It could just be vengeance from whoever competed against me during the election."

"If it was true? Well we both know it is; which is why you will be transferring schools."

"It's the middle of my last school year, what would it matter?" Shizuru was at the verge of simply getting up and leaving.

There was a large silence between the two Fujino's. Their eyes were locked onto each other and neither one of them would look away for even a split second. The family had never been on good terms but, this was going to a whole new level. The girl never thought that she could hate her father this much.

Finally, her father decided to break the silence. "The point is; I don't want a homosexual daughter. And don't even try changing my mind, because it will never work. Besides, this isn't just for your own good; it's for the family as well."

"What good does this do me? Agony, loneliness, desperation, does that sound good to you in any way; no it doesn't. And what's with the absurd lie of "for the family?" Are you sure you're not talking about yourself? You're the one who doesn't want to be the father of a daughter who is homosexual." She finally looked down, since she could no longer take it. "You're the one who wanted the perfect daughter, for your own image. Well, I'm fed up only living for our 'family's' reputation." said the ruby eyes girl as she left the room.

I can't take that man but, it's not like I didn't expect this happening someday. It's only natural since we do that so often.


"I'm sorry I had to disturb you at such a late time at night. Thank you for accepting me." said Shizuru while bowing down to women in front of her.

"Still as proper as always I see? You know, even if I am a little older than you, I knew you in the past. I mean, I did take care of you, at least think of me as a friend. But anyway, why are you here?" this question chilled her to the bone. How could she possibly lie without looking the least bit nervous?

"I…it was just a fight with my father. That's all; I'd rather not talk about it though."

"Oh, sorry, forget I asked then. Well, here you could relax without a care in the world like you used to. The guest room is in the same place so, when you're tired just use the bed; don't bother getting a futon out. Oh, almost forgot, if you need me I'll be in my room, same as always and if you get hungry either tell me or you're free to eat anything out of the fridge."

Unbelievably, I feel guilty for using her. I remember that before, even if the person was crying on their knees, head down, I wouldn't feel a thing. The fact that now I do, proves how much one sole person could have changed me.


"I might as well make some green tea. While I'm at it, I'll offer some to Nobara. It's the least I can do since she's letting me stay here for tonight."

The chest nut haired girl did the same as always while in the kitchen. It almost felt as if she was in the dorm, that is, without Natsuki being there. In her place was her childhood 'friend' and sitter. She had left the tea to settle for a few minutes and it was now done. Her haired passed her shoulder and stayed above her back as she stretched to get two teacups and, matching plates to go with it that were on the shelf. She took a small sip of the tea and as always, it was perfect like any other time she were to drink some.

She moved down the hallway into a dark room lit with a small light from a computer, "Sumimasen" there was no response. So she decided to enter the room, and just ask her face to face. "Nobara Chan, you want some tea?"

"Oh, sure. Arigato."


The light brown female opened her eyes and took a look at the sunlight gleaming through the window. She was in an unfamiliar yet memorable place, knowing this she decided to get out from under the covers. It was morning so she had forgotten she was not in her own home, nor the dorm.

"Ara, I forgot, I'm in Nobara Chan's house. I should go greet her that is, if she's awake." normally, when she was with Natsuki she'd be up hours before her, and the same with her own home; despite the few maids that were wondering around the halls, getting ready for their mornings as well.

She opened the door into the leading hallway, and spotted the dirty blond she once knew. Nobara hadn't expected anyone to be awake and thought maybe Shizuru would have been up until about an hour after.

"Ohayou, Nobara Chan."

"Oh, ohayou. I didn't think you'd be up so early…and don't take this the wrong way but, are you staying here longer or leaving today? I just want to know since I received a call from your father yesterday. He sounded worried; you shouldn't do that to him."

"Worried…sure he is. But, if you really want me to return, I will. Thank you for letting me stay here today and last night. I'll start packing right away."

[Later]

"Thank you again for everything, Nobara Chan" said Shizuru walking away with the small pack of luggage she arrived with.

I suppose I should go to the boat immediately since it's still waiting for me to arrive again. Good thing they don't know the situation going on.


A/N: Was it? D: Sorry if it was.

I'm not used to giving Shizuru so many lines...plus I was being interrupted every time I tried writing AND editing. I'm not reallly one to ask but, review please :D

I NEED TO KNOW IF SHE WENT OCC. Well...that's all. Bai Bai ^-^
