If Only the Fairytale
Chapter Eleven
Natsuki woke up. She glanced at the space next to her. Once again, Shizuru had refused to sleep with her. Bitch. Natsuki blinked. Where did that come from? Whimpering, she laid back down. Don't wanna get up. Wanna sleep. Her head ached and her side itched like crazy.
Her…thoughts…had been getting worse. Sometimes her razor looked too inviting. A little cut, that's all she'd need and she'd be able to escape the strange thoughts and urges that she'd been feeling.
Shizuru… She needed the older girl. She felt calmer, more together when she was with Shizuru. Shizuru would keep her sane. If we slept together I'd feel better and I'd also Natsuki refused to let that thought go any further. The thought finished in her mind. She tried to pretend that she'd never thought it but there it was. How could I think something like that?
"Hey." Sakuya ran over to Nao.
"What to do you want?" Nao continued filing her nails.
Sakuya sighed. "Just to talk. I want to be your (lover) friend."
Nao put the nail filer into her pocket. "I don't need any."
"Sure you do. I've seen the way you watch the others." Sakuya stepped a little closer. "I know you pretty well."
Nao sneered, "What makes you think you can say that?"
"I have every reason to say that." Hota-Mashiro's gonna kill me for this. "I knew you when your name was Keiko and even longer ago when it was Sil."
"What are you talking about?" This girl's crazy.
"We knew each other back before the HiME curse." Sakuya sighed.
"Huh?"
"Before we were all cursed to repeat the Carnival, we were (lovers) friends. You're name was Sil. I was Maya."
Nao eyed the girl cautiously. "You're a HiME?"
Sakuya nodded. "I…died during the last Carnival. My sister…Mashiro…she gave me a shell to live in." She smiled at the redhead. "But I'm me again now."
Nao rolled her eyes. "You expect me to believe this?"
"You'd better, because the thing that started the Carnival is back."
"Tokiha took care of Kokyu no Kimi."
Sakuya shook her head. "Not him. It's the worm."
