Chapter 12

The sad month of november has fell down on Fuuka. The blue sky has been replaced by big dark clouds. It was raining. The beautiful leaves from the sakura tree have disappeared , showing the tree's nudity in front of the house from the Kuga couple. Shivering slightly, Shizuru started to cough a little. She smiled gently at the woman next to her, who has place a hot cup of green tea on the table.

" Ookini mother " said the brunette as she continues to draw on her easel.

" Don't force yourself Shi-chan. You need to rest. " replied Hikari as she observes the work from her daughter, who was working on a new collection of lingerie.

" I'm okay mama" whispered gently the young woman. A new shiver make her pulling up the collar from her brown pullover over her nose. " I'm just a little cold that's all."

" Your fever hasn't died down yet completely" said Hikari with worry in her voice. She knew that her daughter's health was much better than how it was three days ago but she was still a little weak.

Hearing the front door opening, they watch as Duran ran to it before he came back with his head and tail down. He lied down again on the carpet floor, whimpering lightly.

" I'm back" said Saeko as she dropped the shopping bags on the kitchen counter. She smiled sadly at the dog. " Gomen Duran, I'm not Natsuki."

Growling, he turned his back on the three women, ignoring them.

Sighing, Shizuru took a sip from her tea while her mother helped Saeko in the kitchen. The night was falling slowly on the house while the wind and the rain were singing in the street.

A bell sound make the brunette jumped a little. Turning her body on her left, her eyes fell on her computer screen. She had received a mail from her lover.

' I"ll be there in 10 sec. '

Clicking on the blue link, she giggled as she looked at the picture that her lover had send to her. It was a picture of Natsuki and Nao. They were pretending to support the Tower of Pisa.

"She's there already? " asked Saeko as she watched the photo over Shizuru's shoulder.

" Almost." replied the brunette before she took another sip from her drink.

Then, the sound of a phone call echoed in the living room as the screen showed the Skype program popping in an other window.

Grinning, the brunette answerd it.

She smile lovingly as she saw emerald eyes.

" Hello love "

" Hey there " said Natsuki as she waved at the three women as Hikari joined them. She was sitting in a black leather chair, wearing a blue shirt and her hair were tied in a pony tail.

" Hi Nat-chaan!" giggled Saeko in a child voice, making her daughter laugh. " How are you sweety ?"

" I'm fine mom. And what about you guys?" replied the husky voice as they saw Nao poking her head next to Natsuki's. " Hello Japan!"

" We're doing well." said the older Kuga.

Letting the mothers talk with Natsuki and Nao, Shizuru got up before she walked toward Duran. She kneeled down beside him and started to stroke his fur, making him look up with sad blue eyes. It's been now three weeks that Natsuki and Nao were in Italia, dealing with the italian branch from the group Ducati motors. Missing his other mommy deeply, the young dog was feeling depressed. Then, the cheerfull voice from Shizuru make his ears perk up with joy.

" Natsuki is there boy " says the brunette as she returnes in front of the computer. Nao was nowhere is sight and Saeko and Hikari were giving her some privacy so that she could stay alone with her wife.

" Ara Duran, look who's there." called the brunette as she slightly tapped her clad jean thigh. Barking, her puts his front paws on it before his eyes lit up like a christmas tree when he saw the face from his master. His tail was wagging like a tornado behind him.

" Hey boy" laughed Natsuki as her dog started to bark and howl happily. " Okay okay calm down now Duran." She smiles as he looked at the screen, his tongue hanging out of his mouth while the brunette started to scratch his head and kiss it gently. " You want a good new boy?" asked Natsuki.

He barks again.

" Mommy will be back tomorrow ! " The blue haired woman's smile grew wider as she watches her wife's surprised face and hears the dog barking happily in the house. "Really Natsuki? " repeated the brunette while her wife nodded at her.

" Yeah, I wanted to tell you sooner but we had a lot of meetings here. We got a contract for five years with them. If everything is fine, then we could extended it for ten more years." explained the blue haired woman as she smiles at her lover who has tears in her eyes. "That's wonderful."

" I'm glad that we didn't come here for nothing. Anyway.." the voice was softer. " How do you feel ? You still have your fever?"

" Ara, I'm feeling better, thank you. I have two babysitters, remember? " said the brunette a little louder so that the older women could heard her. She then giggled as Saeko and Hikari laugh in the kitchen.

" If you're feeling better babe, then I'm glad."

Shizuru then heard some noise, making her lover look up from the screen before emerald were back on her.

"Was that Nao-san?" asked Shizuru with a lifted eyebrow.

" Yes, I have to go. We'll take the flight from tonight so I'll be back at home in the afternoon. Mom's going to pick me up at the airport tomorrow so you don't have to worry, okay?" explaind Natsuki as she looked at her lovingly.

" Ara alright. I love you" says Shizuru before she blew a kiss to her wife. She grinned as she watched her lover pretendig to catch it.

" I love you too "
