"TALKING"

"THINKING OR P.O.V OR KIYOHIME"

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water; but to walk on the earth.

The red-eyed man sat comfortably in his desk while studying over his paper work. Wrinkles and scars sat upon his face not once did he look up from his paper work, until a woman her mid twenties came up to approach his desk.

"Commander Fujino, you have a call on line one," stated the blue-haired secretary before taking her leave.

"Thank you Tomoe that will be all," said the red-eyed man while picking up the phone to receive the call.

"I have some interesting news that you might want to hear," said the white-haired man while smirking.

"Oh and what news is that?" said the commander.

"It seems like our little project has fallen in love," said the white-haired man.

"Really now with whom has she fallen for Nagi?"

"It seems she has fallen for the doctor Natsuki Kuga, she is quite the interesting one that she is," said Nagi.

"Oh and why do you state those allegations Admiral?"

"It seems that in my spare time I took the chance to look in Ms. Kuga's old records. It seems like her mother was Saeko Kuga, the Crimson Wolf, it seems as though her pup has not chosen the life her mother has."

"It seems so Nagi I leave this matter up to you can you conduct the inspection for me," asked the red-eyed commander.

"Yes commander and chief," said the white-haired admiral.

"Oh and one more thing Nagi make sure that if you find something between that doctor and Shizuru you eliminate it immediately," said Kasugai in a cold emotionless voice.

Natsuki and Shizuru sat still in the restaurant both enjoying each others company; soon it was time for them to leave.

"I'm going to go to restroom you mind waiting outside by the car love or are you going to run off?" asked Natsuki with a giggle.

"Ara what ever do you mean go I was just going to go outside for some air while you finish up," said Shizuru while leaning over the table to give her lover a peck on the cheek.

While the cobalt-haired woman was busy inside. The tawny-haired woman made her way outside. The general couldn't help but notice the happy couples and felt herself dream.

Ara I wonder if I could take Natsuki out on a date like that she deserves it.

Soon the general's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar scent that hit her nostrils.

"Beautiful day isn't it? too bad the air is drenched with these human's pathetic scent disgusting really," said the white-haired man approaching the tawny-haired general.

"Nagi I knew I could smell you wrenched scent around," growled Shizuru.

"Well now if it isn't the cursed mortal Kiyohime gained some weight I see, I did not come looking for any trouble but I'm here to relay some news to you," said Nagi with an arrogant smirk.

"And what news would that be Nagi," said Shizuru through clenched teeth.

"As you have heard your evaluation was to be conducted by your commanding officer commander and chief Kasugai Fujino. But due to the up coming war preparations he has left the evaluation up to me."
"I don't think that will be necessary Nagi because my time is very short with the state because I'm planning to-"

"Planning to what? Shizuru retire to a civilian life style, get married, have kids look at you! You're a monster and you will forever belong to the state! Do you think your father and I would let you go so easily?"

"You're wrong I don't belong to anyone but-"

"But who oh your little master Natsuki we have done research on her too. You know looking from the window you two looked in love it's a shame that girls career and life will be ruined because of your unwillingness to cooperate with us. Also image what your blue-haired lover will find under that uniform of yours, do not defy the will of the state you cannot for you are a true monster you are the cursed mortal."

Shizuru looked down at the floor below her in defeat.

Nagi is right I'm nothing but a monster I can never have someone as innocent as Natsuki. I'm so sick!

"Well now its time to take my leave Ms. Fujino I will see you on evaluation day. Oh I better put those fangs away you don't want your little lover seeing you like this do you?" said Nagi before disappearing into on coming the crowd.

"Hey Shizuru you want to go home?"

Natsuki noticed the silence that her lover was giving her, and she looked as her lover was in a daze.

"Shizuru?" called Natsuki.

"Huh oh sorry my Natsuki I just had something on my mind," said Shizuru snapping out of her trance.

"Are you sure everything's alright," asked Natsuki with a concerned painted on her face.

"Ara everything's fine lets go home," said Shizuru with a smile.

Shortly after Natsuki and Shizuru arrived back home, there was a thick silence between the two as the made there way to the couch. Something's wrong with Shizuru she's shutting me out again I'm not going to let that happen! Not wanting to neglect her lover Natsuki lightly took Shizuru's hand in hers and gave her a gentle smile.

"Its going to be alright Shizuru ok I love you and that's all that matters ok," said Natsuki before lightly giving Shizuru a peck on her porcelain cheek.

"And I love you too my Natsuki no matter what."

"Shizuru I have a question for you."

"Ara what is it my Natsuki?"

"So what are your plans for taking on the state? I mean we are a military based state and with another war coming and…well I was just wondering about your plans to take on your father," asked Natsuki.

"Well in order to stop my father's power we have to restore power back to the parliament, and take all of my father's emergency powers away from him. Then after that I will expose him and Nagi for the true monsters that they are," said Shizuru with a cold voice.

"So by restoring the parliament the power can be given to the people once again, but if we do that then they will label you a-"

"Yes my Natsuki they will label me a war criminal and justice will be left up to the people," said Shizuru looking down at the coffee table below her.

"THAT'S SUICIDE! I will not let you do this to yourself Shizuru!"

"THEN WHAT CAN YOU DO NATSUKI!" The cobalt-haired woman looked in shock as her lover yelled out at her.

"Listen Natsuki and listen well I am a monster m…my b-body is not normal. Also too you need someone whose hands have not been stained with blood. Suppose we could make this work and I take you as my wife and we have children later in the future it would be shameful to have to explain to them the things that I have done."

"I don't care about all that we can take our time with that. But you need to explain to me where all this is coming from I know something's wrong. Don't shut me out like my mother did let me share this pain with you!"

Shizuru's anger and frustrations came to a halt when she saw fresh tears running down her lover's cheek, doing the best she could she grabbed her lover into a tight embrace.

"While I was outside Nagi came up to me he said something's and he threatened you and your career. Natsuki I figured by setting up this plan it would get rid of me and the pain that you would go through by being with me. But after hearing you tonight and seeing your love and understanding I know leaving you would be suicide for me the end for us is the end for me and I cannot let that happen."

"I am never going to leave you Shizuru please love I need you to be honest with me, please never hide anything from me," said Natsuki who now had her face buried in her lovers uniformed jacket.

Shortly after the two settled down as short chuckle erupted from Natsuki.

"Ara and what might I say is so funny Ms. Kuga," asked Shizuru with an amused look on her facial features.

"I'm just remembering not to long ago you would have a fit if you got any stains on this uniform," said Natsuki looking up into her lovers eyes.

"Ara it seems I would have wouldn't I? Well pretty soon this uniform will just be another piece of cloth"

"Yes it would be."

Later that night the cobalt-haired woman was once again down stairs.

"Yeah Yamada it's me Kuga I was wondering do you still know how to get your hands on some information."

AN: Well there you go the plot is certainly thickening I have nothing more to say accept read and review folks. Here are two previews a double treat for all my loyal fans.

Preview: "I found some information that might be of use Kuga."

Later: "Yes I have found it!" whispered the dark haired lieutenant.
