CHAPTER 10
When Shizuru entered Natsuki's room, she was startled at the sight before her. She felt like her heart being crushed when she looked at the person laid motionless on the bed.
'Natsuki…how could this happened to you?' Shizuru tried to control her emotion from burst. The others that followed behind Shizuru, except for Tomoe who decided to just stay outside, also gasped when they saw Natsuki but not as shocked as Shizuru. The girl in attention was covered in bandages all over her body. Her right hand and left leg were in a cast, her forehead wrapped in bandage and scratches and bruises could be seen everywhere but the most shocking thing is that Natsuki was……………smiling?
Shizuru walked closer to Natsuki and she noticed that Natsuki was somewhat mumbled about something and also she seemed to be struggled over something. Then Natsuki expression turned sour.
"No…no…." Natsuki's face looked like she wanted to cry. Shizuru called Natsuki as she couldn't bear when she saw Natsuki's crying expression and then Natsuki's expression turned to normal again but then it turned to an angry face.
"Natsuki!" Shizuru called, wanted to relieve Natsuki's pain somehow and it worked when Natsuki's face turned normal again.
"Natsuki" Shizuru called again, her voice a little softer this time. Her hands reached to grab Natsuki's left hand and Natsuki got tensed at the touch. Shizuru squeezed Natsuki's tensed hand a little, hoping that it will make Natsuki calm down. Shizuru let go of her hands when she thought that Natsuki had calmed down but as soon as she did that, Natsuki trembled a little.
"Ar…argh…." Natsuki looked like she was in a deep pain. Shizuru got worried at the sudden change in Natsuki and she grabbed Natsuki's hand again but Natsuki didn't seem to be affected by that. The others also rushed to Natsuki's side and tried to calm the unconscious girl but it was no use.
"Natsuki!" Shizuru screamed out Natsuki's name, tears began to fall again from Shizuru's eyes. Natsuki instantly calmed down and after a few moments, Natsuki's eyes slowly opened and met with Shizuru's crimson eyes.
"Hey…Shi…zu…ru…." Natsuki called in low and husky voice, smiled a little at a now crying Shizuru. Shizuru couldn't hold back herself anymore, she threw herself to Natsuki and hugged the girl tightly.
"Ouch…Shizuru…hurt…." Natsuki whimpered at the hug and Shizuru let her go right away, not wanting to hurt the already injured girl.
"Kannin Na Natsuki, I just couldn't control myself earlier when I see your cute face became alive again. Are you alright Natsuki? We were so worried about you" Shizuru stopped her tears and she stepped back a little and Natsuki saw her friends were also in the room, each had a relieved expression on their face.
"Hi guys…I guess I got you guys worried over me…again" Natsuki whispered at the last part and Mai walked closer to her.
"It's okay Natsuki, you're Natsuki after all. Do you need anything? You want to eat something?" Mai turned to her mother-like mode.
"……….mayo………." was Natsuki replied and the room filled with laughter instantly.
"Geez mutt, don't you have anything else in mind other than your lovely mayo?" Nao laughed at Natsuki's odd addiction.
"………………..Shizuru?" Natsuki's sudden statement make the room fell silent and when Natsuki realized of what she had said earlier, her face turned bright red and not to mention Shizuru's amused face.
"Guys, let's go and buy some mayo for our poor little pup" Nao had her biggest smirk on her face and the others understood it completely so they decided to play along.
"Yeah, our poor little Natsuki must be hungry. Come on guys, let's go to the convenient store nearby and Shizuru…." Mai looked at Shizuru and Shizuru raised her eyebrows.
"…..can you stay here and 'watch' Natsuki?" Mai's eyes gave a hint to Shizuru and somehow Shizuru understood what it meant.
"Ara, of course Mai. It is my pleasure to do such an important task…fu…fu…fu…." Shizuru and Mai exchanged signals between their eyes. Natsuki, however, didn't realize even for a bit about their little signal exchange.
"Yeah, we also got to go because Aoi and me need to do make-up sex…." Before Chie could finish her sentence, her head got smacked by Aoi.
"CHIEEE!!!" both Aoi and Mai screamed at a now pain looking Chie.
"Geez, would you mind your language! Have you forgotten that Mikoto is also here?" Mai scolded Chie and Chie smiled at her apologetically.
"Mai, what is make-up sex?" Mikoto asked suddenly and Mai turned nervous at the sudden question.
"A-ano…." Mai seemed to lose her words and she turned to glare at Chie.
"Can we eat make-up sex? Is it delicious like Mai's ramen??" Mikoto asked excitedly when she mentioned about food.
"Yeah Mikoto! It's waaaaaay MORE DELICIOUS than Mai's ramen and if you want to taste it, you have to ask Mai yourself and only Mai can give it to you" Nao explained to Mikoto and then she turned and gave a 'hi five' to Chie before the two of them get smacked by both Aoi and Mai.
"REALLY?!! Then Mai, you must make make-up sex to me for our dinner tonight!" Mikoto innocent words make Mai, Aoi and of course Natsuki blushed furiously.
"Ara, Natsuki was right. She is indeed has some interesting friends" Shizuru turned her gaze from a little drama scene in front of her to the still blushing Natsuki.
But the most fascinating among them is you, my Nat-su-ki…fu…fu…fu…Shizuru thought to herself as she admire at the sight of blushing Natsuki.
"Yeah…I told you, didn't I? Although they're like this, they're actually nice people but in a little irritated way somehow and hell why they must make a scene today of all day?!! Arghh…my head hurts!" Natsuki touched her forehead and Shizuru immediately rushed to help her.
"Are you all right Natsuki?" Shizuru looked at Natsuki with worry in her crimson eyes, her hand touched at Natsuki's bandaged head.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just feel a little dizzy, that's all" Natsuki smiled warmly at Shizuru, not wanting to worry the girl.
"Are you sure Natsuki? You need a rest and you should lay back or do you want to sleep on my lap as a pillow and you can cuddle to me if you want, I'll be pleased if you do that, my Nat-su-ki" Shizuru poked Natsuki's cheek and Natsuki turned red again.
"BA-BAKA! Who wants to cuddle to you…well at least not in front of them" Natsuki whispered at the last part and Shizuru heard it.
Control yourself…don't jump on her…control yourself…she is injured right now…self control button on….Shizuru smiled sweetly at Natsuki, although her innerself struggled hard to control herself from pounced at a fragile Natsuki. As they were busy with their own little scene, they didn't realize that they were being watched and some pictures were taken by a certain black haired girl.
"Ehem…ehem…." Mai purposely cleared her throat out loud, hoping that the two lovebirds would noticed that they're still in the room.
"Well, we will take our leave now and we might be a little late because I have many things to buy for the café and I'll cook something for you later, alright Natsuki?" Mai said to Natsuki and Shizuru and Natsuki just nodded her head.
"Yeah! And then Mai will make make-up sex for me, Natsuki, Shizuru and everyone!!" the room fell silent again at Mikoto's words.
"He-heh…come on Mikoto, let's go" a red face Mai took Mikoto's hand and lead her to the door to exit. The others followed them after they bid their farewell to Natsuki. Somehow, Nao stopped at the door and looked back.
"Oi mutt! Glad you're safe" Nao turned her head and exit the door before she closed it.
After everyone had make their way out, the room fell silent for a moment before Shizuru turned her gaze to Natsuki.
"It seemed that it is just you and me now, my Nat-su-ki" Shizuru said to Natsuki with seductive tone and Natsuki gulped at that.
It's going to be a long day today….Natsuki thought, nervous at Shizuru's intense stare.
