Natsuki arrived a little early in the garden of the center of Fukka, she left her belongings in her office and brought her canvas bag with objects for the picnic.
She saw Mai, Nao and Nina were slowly arriving in her direction, the therapist cordially greeted them. Mai and Nina were expansive enough, they affectionately hugging the eldest woman, who responded friendly to their gesture, unlike Nao, who paid no attention to Kuga.
"Nao, I know you think it's a kid activity, but it's good that you go out a little and relax. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, it's sunny, it's nice to be outdoors, in the nature, fresh grass, birds are singing." The girl lazily sat on the grass, and looked away.
"Always with the talk, you the virgin. We are still in a prison. Grass? I prefer weed to smoke it." Natsuki profusely sighed, yes, this young woman liked to rebel, and she hated her, well, she liked to treat her doctor like a dog. Why was Miss Yuuki in this place? She was anorexic, she was also socially and emotionally withdrawn. Her mother died when she was born, she had lived with her father, a bum who never cared for her daughter.
"Nao, I wish you stopped insulting me. "
"Virgin is nice. Dirty bitch it's an insult. "
"... miss Kuga, doctor or Natsuki will be fine ..."
No answer….
For Nina, she was bipolar, she had catatonic syndrome, that's meant she was as inert to the outside world, everything happened before her eyes, but she did not blink, she was like a statue, she also had periods of depression with suicide attempts.
Then came Marguerite, who was almost throwing herself into the arms of the brunette who did everything possible not to fall back.
"Hello to you too, Tomoe. Are you fine?" The woman shook her head positively against her doctor's shoulder who laughed.
"Ara, some people called me a slut, and that I have a provocative behavior. But it seems that I am not the only one who goes beyond the limits. We should reprimand some people who think they are above others." The psychologist watched the new speaker, bloody orbs staring at her with a blazing fire.
"Hello Shizuru. You should not say these things, it's hurtful and mean to your friend as well as yourself." The girl snorted and folded her arms. It was going to be fun ... not one but two pig-headed!
"Natsuki, sorry, I'm late. Miss Maria intervened.
"It's nothing, everyone has just arrived. So, there is no problem, we are all there and in a good mood." The dark-haired woman put blankets on the floor and asked her patients to put the cutlery on, and the young women sat down. Along with Natsuki, there was Mai and Tomoe, right in front of her Nao, on her right Shizuru, on her left Miss Maria, Nina was on the side.
"So, I prepared some dishes." The director of the center said, bentos appeared before the staring eyes of the protagonists. There was something for everyone. Grilled fish with rice, miso soup with vegetables, and other dishes. Kuga was served by her mother, she coughed when Nao openly mocked her.
"Natsuki, will the headmistress feed you like a big baby? "
"What? Are you jealous? Hold on." The brunette took some rice between chopsticks and brought them closer to the flushing redhead.
"Say ahhh." Yuuki pulled back at once, lying on the floor under the laughter of Natsuki, who was immediately reprimanded by her mentor. But Miss Maria kept a small smile.
"Are you out of your mind! Never in life will I accept that you feed me!" The doctor with the long ebony cascade picked up the food and swallowed it.
"Too bad, it hurts me. Your chicken curry is a marvel Miss Maria. It is as good as in my memories." Kuga complimented towards the cook. Her mother was delighted, so it was a good idea to participate in this meal. Apart from when she had to come and leave the mental hospital, the mother and daughter spent little time together.
"I made ramen. I do not know if they're good, do you want to taste them? "Mai commented, she timidly gave a small bowl to Natsuki who gladly accepted it. She took a bite and began to moan with pleasure.
"Hmm, it's delicious, you're a born cook. You should think about opening a restaurant, you'll see me as regular." Tokiha smiled and added thanks. "Do you want to taste Nina?" The woman shook her head, she preferred the grilled fish, she took a scrap and Kuga put the whole fish on her plate, she knew she was afraid to serve herself, it was embarrassment? Then she looked at Shizuru, who was silent, she had not taken anything, nor eaten contrary to her companions. She was only gazing the floor.
The psychologist searched a dish that might be suitable for the Kyoto girl. An idea crossed her mind, she remembered a little detail that the ruby creature had given her. Fortunately, she took her thermos in her bag and poured tea in a plastic cup, well, it was not necessarily the best container but that's did not matter.
"Shizuru, look, some tea. I think you told me that you liked the flavors, it's green tea, sensha." The named snapped out of her lethargy, she showed for the first of the surprise on her features and not indifference or anger, she looked with hesitation the goblet from which water vapor escaped. Natsuki approached and grabbed her wrist to put her favorite drink in her hand and she immediately took her place. She was hoping for one thing, that Fujino did not get angry or throws in her face the Japanese drink, it was going to hurt ... she cared her face ...
"Ookini." It was pronounced so softly that Kuga thought she misunderstood the word.
"You're welcome, eat sesame vegetables, they are very good. "
Tomoe suddenly put her head on Natsuki's arm and the doctor saw nothing wrong, she just ruffled her hair. She quietly continued to eat.
"Natsuki, are you going to leave the center?" Mai questioned as all the shocked looks turned in her direction. Kuga was surprised by this request.
"What? No why? "
"... I heard you were not going to stay long ... I did not want to listen to your phone conversation a few days ago ... I'm sorry ..." The doctor saw her mother look down. Yes, she had mentioned going back to Ahn but it was before they had officially broken off each other, the distance and their vision of love had definitely separated them, she had not yet reported the information to the director.
"You do not have to apologize, Mai. I will be sincere, I thought to stay here for a few months, I did not have a deadline, but I want to work here permanently. The decision can be only my choice." Miss Maria jumped when she felt her daughter's gaze in her direction, with teary eyes, she said:
"Of course, you're engaged! You are a vital element here." And everyone was thrilled, especially Tomoe and Shizuru who were smiling. Then they watched each other, and the tension awoke dangerously. A nascent rivalry had just been created.
