AN: Hey I figured that I would give you guys a double header but I think that I will update every weekend for your guys because it tends to be more convenient for me and others who are readers of this story. Again sorry if there are any mistakes I'm just trying to get this out because I love this story just as much as you guys do. But also the beginning of the chapter is what's happening in present day and the flashback chapter is what happened earlier that morning also the last chapter where Shizuru talks to Natsuki about Kyoto is apart of the same morning too.

"TALKING"
"THINKING OR P.O.V" Only for this chapter because there is going to be a flashback.
Grasping tightly, and never letting go.
Shortly after Shizuru left the café, she sat in the office looking over the last of the paper work for the trade off that the company was having. It wasn't till Reito came in with a smile on his face, with documents in hand; Shizuru was hoping the piece of paper carried good news.
"Ara by you not knocking I'm assuming those are the documents that I have requested," said Shizuru with a smile.
"Oh sorry Shizuru, but I seem to remember you saying not to knock when it came to containing this," said Reito holding up the piece of paper and waving it back and forth.
Reito handed the document to Shizuru before taking a seat in the chair across from Shizuru's desk. Reito watched as a wide smile crept across the honey colored brunettes face; this in turn put a smile on his face too.
"Ara this is perfect it covers everything we will need when going to Kyoto. Ara ookini Reito, so you said the property out there was cheap?"
"Yes well you see the property that you purchased just went up for sell so I dropped your name in, and the housing company instantly lowered the price for you. I think it's the perfect place for you and Natsuki to live and maybe raise a few children together."
After hearing the mention of children Shizuru felt her heart skip a beat.
Children huh, does Natsuki even want children I mean I know its going to be hard for us having to tell our child of our love. I don't now if I can put Natsuki through that, she needs to have a normal life maybe I should just…
"Shizuru Fujino Kuga don't you even finish that last thought," said Reito interrupting her thoughts.
"Ara thank you Reito it's just that I never took kids into consideration, I mean we have yet to have sex," said Shizuru with a blush.
"Oh I see well is Natsuki still virgin?"
Reito watched as the brunette nodded her head in agreement.
"Well I suggest you talk to her about everything, I mean like how she makes you feel from a physical and mental view," said Reito getting up to walk to the door.
"Ara I will try to but I hope she can understand," said Shizuru.
"I know she will, like I said try talking to her Miss Viola I'm sure Miss Kruger will understand and love you not matter what," said Reito with a trademark smirk before closing the door.
The crimson eyed woman giggled at her friend's antics before getting back to her own work.
Shizuru looked down to the document where it contained the names of Shizuru Viola and Natsuki Kruger.
I wish love was as simple as just signing your name away.
Aoi walked to the house like a mindless zombie her heart and mind pulling at opposite directions. Her mind replying the scene that she had heard in the café over and over; she relived the memory just like she would a dream.
Aoi sat in the back of the café quietly sipping her coffee her mind free like the gentle breeze outside.
"I hope Chie isn't too sleep I mean waking her up is like trying to wake up the dead," thought Chie to herself before taking one last sip.
Before leaving, the brown haired woman took a visit to the bathroom to freshen up. The married woman was just in the middle of drying her hands when she got a call from none other then Chie, Aoi decided to answer hoping that her wife was already up.
"Hello honey I take it that you are up," said Aoi in a cheerful tone.
"Yeah I'm up no thanks to that red head, gosh that woman gets stranger everyday when it comes to Natsuki," said Chie in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Huh why do you say that, I thought she would call to tell you that she patched things up with Kuga-san?"
"Yeah I thought that too but it turns out that Nao wont drop it, she told me that she is convinced that Shizuru and Natsuki are having a relationship with each other."
"Well of course they are I mean they are sister's you can't destroy that bond."
"Honey you don't understand when I said relationship, I mean Nao is convinced that Shizuru and Natsuki are having that kind of relationship," said Chie.
"You mean as in-"
"Sex, love, cuddling etc the whole package," said charcoal haired interrupting her wife.
"I see well maybe Nao is just hurt, at what happened. Being rejected isn't a wonderful feeling when it comes to matters of love," said Aoi leaning towards the bathroom sink.
"Yeah nor is calling up your friend to accuse the other one of doing something that they aren't even doing."
"Well on to the next subject all this depressing stuff makes me upset, so are you going to be up so we can go shopping I mean our new house has to have some style to it," said Aoi with a smile.
"Ok I'll be up just give me five more minutes ok," said Chie in a pleading tone.
"Alright five more minutes and that's it I'll be over there in a minute let me just go pay my tab."
"I love you I'll see you in a little while," said Aoi.
"I love you too."
The two hung up, and Aoi made her way out to her table; the brown haired woman stopped as soon as she heard giggles coming from by the bathroom. She peeked out the corner of the bathroom door to see a crimson eyed woman dressed in a black and white women's business suit sitting and laughing on the phone.
"Ara I know you have to think about some thing's Natsuki, that's why you do not need to apologize I love you no matter what," said the crimson eyed woman.
"So this is Natsuki's new lover, she is beautiful but I feel as though I have seen her some where but where. I know! On a photo with Chie and the gang I believe she was there and her name was darn it I cant put my finger on it maybe I should stay and listen for a little while so I can get a clue," said Chie silently to herself.
"Ara practice on what anata, do you mean that," said Shizuru.
Aoi kept listening to the conversation at hand while trying to figure out the name of Natsuki's mysterious lover. Out of all of the years of being with Chie the brown haired woman, adapted the same love for gossip as wife.
The conversation was going good until the brown haired woman heard the shock of her life.
"Listen Natsuki I don't care if you're my sister like I said I am going to marry you and nothing is going to stop me from loving you not mother, father Nao or Chie. The only one that can stop me is you my love, but I'm am making the preparations today for the move, so I have to get back to work yes I love you too my Natsuki," said Shizuru before hanging up and walking out of the café.
The brown haired woman pressed her back towards the cold tile of the bathroom walls only one thought rang in her head.
"I can't believe what I'm hearing," thought the brown haired woman.
As soon as the thought processed Aoi came to the guess that Natsuki's mysterious lover was none other then her own sister Shizuru.
AN: I think that is a good spot to leave off. Now I bet your wondering how it is that Aoi knew it was Shizuru without even meeting her once. Well to explain Aoi has been over Chie's house when they were dating and has seen the pictures of Natsuki and Shizuru with Chie and the others from High School. So when seeing that she automatically knew that the Natsuki that Shizuru was talking to on the phone was Chie and Nao's friend. If you don't get it then pm me but pretty much the chapter explains its self this last part was a flash back but I hope you guys can understand the process of the thoughts if not then read more clearly because I indicated what was a thought and what was not in the flash back scene. also i hope you can understand the name joke thing with Reito.
