Chapter 10: 'NK'
Shizuru wondered who Natsuki really is and didn't realize that a pair of arms had pulled her and made her lean on a warm body. She smelled the sweet ocean aroma that she had pointed out was very intoxicating. All thoughts had been forgotten and the single thing had been left that filled her mind. "Natuski…" she whispered, leaning closer to her captor and closing her eyes to savour the warmth.
"I will keep my promise. Even if you get married, I'll be here for you." Natsuki whispered in a low sad tone. She held the Fujino heiress gently, resting her chin at Shizuru's shoulders and whiffing up the tea scent that had been her latest addiction.
They stayed in that position for awhile, feeling each other's warmth and presence. They both knew that this might be the last time they can be together. Considering that Shizuru was engaged and Natsuki, well her 'work' was still going to keep her busy. But despite of everything, both their minds had been set that they would still see each other and be there to comfort, help and keep each other company when one is alone.
"it's quite early for you to be awake, my Natsuki." Shizuru said, breaking the silence.
Natsuki smiled and nuzzled her head closer to the brunette's neck, puffing out a small cloud of breath making Shizuru shudder at the hotness of her breath. "well, with the Fujino heiress' clinging at my body in a small couch for the whole night made me a light sleeper." Natsuki jested.
"Ikezu! As far as I know, you liked me hugging you every night since you don't complain. And might I add that back in the island, you were the one clinging on to me each and everytime I wake up." Shizuru retorted with an evil grin across her face.
Natsuki only let out a soft growl and to Shizuru's surprise, a sweet kiss at the neck.
"Bad Kyoto-ben." Natsuki whine seductively as she continued in kissing the brunette's neck, making Shizuru moan her name in pleasure. Her logical thoughts had completely lost her and only instincts had taken control. She hugged Shizuru closer to her continued to kiss and suck the milky white neck of Shizuru.
"Nat-su-ki…" Shizuru moaned again. She liked the feeling of Natsuki's lips kissing her neck. She tilted her head to give the blunette more access to her neck and raised her right hand to hold and caress Natsuki's midnight hair that fell onto her.
"Shizuru… if you don't want me to-" nastuki whispered but only had been stopped by a swift turn of position in which she was pinned to the door and Shizuru silencing her with a deep and passionate kiss, making her forget what she was going to say and had went on with the flow of what she started.
After the fiery kiss that the two shared, both girls were panting due to the loss of air from their previous make-out. Yet s they panted and gather up enough air to speak, both were staring at each other's eyes.
"Nastuki… could you… would you leave a mark on me? Before we dock at Osaka?" Shizuru said, still her eyes were staring at Natsuki's emerald eyes.
Natsuki blushed but smiled at the brunette's request. She reached out and tucked the loose strands of hair behind shizuru's hair and gently pulled the collar of Shizuru's blouse down, revealing the milky white colored cleavage. She leaned down to Shizuru's cleavage and kissed the left part for a few minutes before leaving her slight painful 'NK' mark at Shizuru's left upper breast.
"Natsuki Kuga…" Natsuki whispered before standing up straight and stared at how Shizuru looked at the 'NK' mark on her left upper breast.
"Ookini, Nat-su-ki. To be formal and fair, I'm Shizuru Fujino." Shizuru said with a true smile and a small blush on her face.
"That would be the mark of my promise Shizuru. Though I'm not sorry for kissing you like that, the only thing I'm sorry about is making you confused about your feelings. I'm not gonna tell you anything more that might confuse you, only that I'll always be here." Natsuki said with a sad yet gentle smile. She cupped Shizuru's cheek and gave her a quick kiss.
Shizuru only smiled at how Natsuki contained her overflowing emotions so that it won't lead her to anything that could hurt the both of them. She hugged Natsuki and murmured an 'I love you' before releasing the blunette and making her way outside to clear her mind.
"I love you too, Shizuru Fujino," Natsuki whispered before going to bed to grab her coastguard uniform.
Time had passed quickly and the yacht had reached the port of Osaka. Many fishing boats had already docked at the port and to Mai and Natsuki's surprised, a group of men in marine uniform were all gathered and lined up at the boardwalk with a blond girl yelling at them. Beside the blond girl was a girl with a mousy colored hair and a pair of rectangular spectacles and seemed like trying to calm the blond, and beside them were a girl with a teal colour hair that had a weird style and her arms were wrapped around a girl with a honey colored hair which looked like her girlfriend. The three of them, Mai, Natsuki and Shizuru, had left the yacht and was caught up in staring at the whole marine gatherings. while Duran was caged and was already sent to Natsuki's place ahead of them since the train won't allow them to bring any animals.
"All of you shall not foam back here without that bubuzuke! It's an order!" the blond yelled out, making the marine soldiers salute at her.
"It's 'come' Haruka-chan." The mousy haired girl corrected.
"That's what I said Yukino!" the blond named Haruka retorted, crossing her arms and glaring at the marines.
"What is this Mai? The last time, reporters occupied the docks since they want to capture a picture of me, now the marines are here! Sheesh!" Natsuki complained, pointing at the saluting marines to the blond.
"I don't know who they are Natsuki. Maybe Fujino-san knows them." Mai said. She looked at Shizuru who was silent as soon as they saw the whole marine and yelling blond.
But Shizuru didn't responded and just watched the girls, especially the teal haired one. 'why? I tried so hard to stop my hormones just for her and here I see and hear her being a bitch!' she angrily thought.
"And as for you Marguerite! That bubuzuke had been missing for only a few days and you already perted with a slut!" Haruka bellowed, pointing angrily at the teal haired girl.
"Give it up Suzushiro! Even the coastguards had declared she's missing! And Miya is not a slut!" the teal haired girl roared back. This made the girl hug her tighter and smiled devilishly.
"It's flirted Haruka-chan, but correcting words aside, Marguerite-san that's highly cheating on her. Considering that there are no proofs that she's really gone, you still have no right in coveting anyone since you're her fiancée." Yukino said which made a small gasp be heard not just far from them.
It was Shizuru who gasped. She couldn't comprehend what she heard and stared at her fiancée with another woman. This made Natsuki call her out loud to break from her small trance.
Hearing the name Shizuru, both Haruka and Yukino looked at the small commotion. Both of their eyes went wide at the sight of the Fujino-heiress, safe and sound with a couple of coastguards beside her.
"BUBUZUKE!" Haruka bellowed. She ran ahead and went to Shizuru with Yukino right behind her and the girl named Margueritee had frozen in her spot with Miya looking at Shizuru with a bitchy glare.
Shizuru put up her usual façade and smiled at Haruka and Yukino. "ara! It's nice to see you Haruka-san, Yukino-san." She said in a fake cheery voice. But her façade didn't fool the blunette beside her and only looked at her without any words.
Haruka gave Shizuru a soft hit on the head while Yukino hugged her worriedly. Both of them had tears in their eyes at the sight of their friend being safe.
Natsuki saw how worried Shizuru's friend was and decided to leave. "it seems they are going to be your escorts miss Fujino. I do hope we'll see each other again." Natsuki said softly. "Mai, do you have one of my 'personal' cards with you? Can you give it to miss Fujino in case she needs any help?" Natsuki asked. Mai nodded and took out a black metal card with a howling wolf engrave on it and a cellphone number. She gave it to Shizuru and waved goodbye at her.
"well I guess this is it. Use that card if you need me, that's my own number. See you around miss Fujino." Natsuki said, she bowed her head and turned around quickly to hide her tears. Mai also bowed and gave Shizuru a small apologetic look before turning around and left the docks with Natsuki.
"Who are they Bubuzuke?" Haruka asked confusingly.
Shizuru stared at Natsuki before the two had disappeared from the dock's corner. She sighed and held the card tightly and put up her façade smile again. "Ara! Those were the coastguards that saved me from my lone little raft that's drifting across the vast ocean." Shizuru half lied.
Yukino, being a smart girl, knew that Shizuru was lyinig but just let it go and smiled at her friend for being safe. "Shizuru, we're all glad that you're safe. Your father had sent out each and every force he controls just to find you. I'm sure he'll be happy to know you're safe."
"Ara, I do hope I didn't cause anyone more trouble. Especially you, Tomoe Marguerite." Shizuru said with slight venom in her voice. She still has her usual smile facade while staring like a viper stalking its prey.
Tomoe, the girl with teal colour hair felt like holes were burning through her body as Shizuru stared at her. She pushed Miya away from her body and practically ran towards Shizuru. "Shi-chan! I-i knew that you're alive! I never doubted it for a second!" Tomoe lied. She didn't expect to be caught by her own fiancée with another girl.
"What the heck? You little!" Haruka yelled out but was stopped by Shizuru stepping in between Haruka and Tomoe.
"ara, ara, Haruka-san shouldn't yell out loud. Tomoe, it would be nice if you would go back to your girlfriend. Oh and please give her this." Shizuru said with a smile as she removed her engagement ring and gave it to Tomoe.
"Bu-but Shi-chan! She's noting to me swear!" Tomoe defended.
"Tomoe, no, I mean Marguerite-san, as far as I can remember, I'm not deaf nor blind at the whole incident here." Shizuru retorted. She still has her facade and she beamed Tomoe a venomous smile. "Will Haruka and Yukino be nice enough to escort me back to the estate?" She asked, giving her two friends a tired look and yawned.
"Ofcourse bubuzuke! The helicopter's just by the helipad over there. Let's go pack home and leave this cheating bitch with her slut!" Haruka shouted proudly. She intended to shout it out loud to insult Tomoe.
"Why you loud mouthed speech impendent girl! Might I remind you who's more powerful-"Tomoe's ranting were cut short when a pair of glaring eyes from Yukino had sent shivers down to her spine.
"It's 'back' Haruka-chan. Marguerite-san, even if you're family is wealthier than us, it doesn't mean that I'll let you insult Haruka like that." Yukino said in a low threatening tone.
Shizuru knew how Yukino was protective of Haruka despite of her calm and shy manner. 'Well they won't be engaged to each other if one of them can't defend the other.' She thought with a slight amused grin on her face. She watched at how the three started a glaring contest and noticed that the girl who Tomoe brought with her was looking rather impatient. "Oh my, I believe we shouldn't take Marguerite-san's girlfriend to wait any longer. Haruka, Yukino, shall we?" she suggested, hoping that Haruka won't start attacking her with Yukino cheering on to her.
The three of them left the docks and rode the helicopter back to the Fujino estate in Kyoto.
It has been three days and Shizuru had to attend different press conference about her disappearance and recent break up with her fiancée. Due to those distractions, she hadn't got the chance to call Natsuki.
At Kyoto University, Shizuru was elected the student council president since the current president had to resign due to his admiration to the red eyed brunette. And even at that school, news and rumors had spread across but that didn't stop her from being the most popular student around.
She was striding across the corridor filled with her die-hard fans when she heard a small argument by the lockers. Being the student council president, and not having any excuse for her not to act out, she looked at what was the commotion about.
"C'mon babe, I'll take you out for a nice lunch!" a guy said, pulling a blond haired girl that's struggling away from him.
"NO! Let go of me!" the blond haired girl protested.
Seeing at what the commotion is and who's the victim, Shizuru approached them and beamed a threatening smile at the guy. "ara! It's not nice to force anyone to go with you, let alone a little girl." She said coldly.
"Fu-Fujino kaichou! Wah! Sorry!" the guy said in fear as he dashed away quickly when he saw Shizuru's piercing red eyes.
"it seems he has another appointment, ne?" Shizuru jested, smiling at the blond girl beside her.
"Thank you Fujino kaichou..." the blond girl said with a slight blush on her cheeks. She gently rubbed her right wrist where the guy held her and a sting of pain had caused her to wince a little.
"oh my, are you okay?" Shizuru asked worriedly.
"Yea I'm fine kaichou. Thank you for your concern, though that guy will be hunted down for this." The blond girl said.
Shizuru chuckled at what she heard from the blond girl and only patted her in the head.
"You're thinking I'm joking right? I can't blame you. You haven't met my bodyguard and onee-chan yet. Ne kaichou, would you mind if you let me take you out to eat at my onee-chan's friend's restaurant?" She asked with a wide toothy smile on her face.
Shizuru observed the blond girl and smiled back. 'She doesn't seemed like any obsessed fan so I think it's safe if I accept her offer.' She thought. "ara! Are you implying on asking me out on a date?" she teased, makng the blond girl blush.
"n-no! My onee-chan always said to me that we should always show our gratitude to those who help us. And besides, I'm meeting my onee-chan there with my body guard." The girl said with a small blush.
"It seems that you're 'onee-chan' is such a nice person, considering on how she taught you that. Well I would like to meet this person to thank her for having such a polite and sweet imotou."
The blond girl happily nodded and took hold of Shizuru's hand and pulled her towards the school's exit. "By the way, I'm Alyssa." the blond haired girl said happily that made Shizuru looked surprised and felt her heart beat faster.
'ara, where did I heard that name before?' she smiled and let Alyssa lead the way to a waiting black Aston Martin Rapide car with a cyan haired girl, dressed in a black suit.
The cyan haired girl bowed a little to Alyssa and Shizuru. "is ojou-sama alright? I can sense that you have a troubled look." The bodyguard asked, looking at Alyssa's now bruised wrist.
Alyssa just hid her hands behind her and shook her head. "i'm not troubled Miyu. Oh Miyu this is Shizuru Fujino, she'll be coming with us at the Flaming phoenix." The blond said, giving her bodyguard a playful wink.
"i'm honoured to meet the Fujino heiress, i'm Miyu Greer, Alyssa ojou-sama's personal bodyguard." Miyu said with a stoic look on her face. She opened the car door and gestured for the two to ride. "shall we go?"
The two nodded and entered the car while Miyu rode on the driver seat. After starting the engine and warming it up, Miyu drove the car to the said restaurant.
Meanwhile, a few kilometres from the flaming phoenix restaurant, a certain blue haired girl was tuning up her black 2009 Ducati Streetfighter S at a famous garage where many people take their cars or any vehicles to be fixed.
Natsuki was happily humming as she carefully tunes up her bike when suddenly someone kicked her leg. She glared up to see that dared kick her saw the teal haired girl from the docks a few days ago.
"hey, grease monkey! Fix my car! I have to catch up with my fiancée to the restaurant over there!" Tomoe said with an annoyed look on her face. Her words had made the other mechanics gasp and looked at Natsuki as if they were waiting for a frightful retort.
"Can't you see I'm busy? And I'm no grease monkey, you freaky haired girl!" She growled as she just ignored what Tomoe wants and continued to tune up her bike.
Tomoe hit Natsuki in the head with her hand bag and pointe at her straight in the face. "a mechanic like you should follow your client's orders even if you're busy fixing something else, now fix my car before I let your boss know you're slacking off!" she venomously spat out, poking Natsuki's greased forehead.
Natsuki could only let out a growl and swat away Tomoe's hand. She took a deep breath and just pretended that she works at that garage and gave Tomoe her Kuga death glare. "Tch! As if I'm afraid of anyone. Fine I'll fix your god damn car!" Natsuki said, throwing the wrench in her hand back to the tool box. She was planning to use it to hit Tomoe but her conscience had stopped her from doing so, and the thought of her being sent back to Punishment Island.
Tomoe smirked victoriously at her achievement. But somehow, the other mechanics shivered at the sight of Natsuki agreeing to fix the car.
'This girl will see death, sooner or later' all the mechanics thought in unison, maiing them shudder in fear of what Natsuki will do afterwards.
Omake!!
Tomoe: woohoo! I'm Shizuru's fiancée! In your face Kuga! –doing an Indian rain dance-
Natsuki: -crackling her knuckles- ZAKI!
Zaki: -calmly sipping coffee- this won't be a ShizNat fanfic if Tomoe will get the girl right?
Shizuru: -sipping tea- indeed Zaki, will my Natsuki come and join us for a cup of tea or coffee?
Natsuki:-sighed- the two of you are beverage addicts. –smacks her palm to forehead-
Tomoe: Shizuru is my fiancée! –continous chanting-
Zaki: yeah, yeah, savour your small patchy Indian dance and wait until i write how you will fall.–grinning mischievously-
Shizuru: -blinked a few times- Ara, it seems that Zaki's plotting something evil.
Natsuki: -raised a brow- nah! Just ignore her Shizuru. I do hope she's planning on how to kill that Tomoe bitch before i take over her story and kill her in the most gruesome way!
