Caption - The Missing Chapter

Earlier, in the transporter automaton….

"The ship is on right course." Erstin announce through the communicator. "In five minute, I have to cease the communication as the ship enter the planar space. The ship will be in auto-pilot, but, you don't have to worry. I have locate the target ship to dock and sent out the communication wave massege. Therefore, Your Highness, we at the Aswad Control Room wish you luck. May the Empire win the war."

Silence….

"Shizuru, can you not move too much. It's cramped in this ship."

"It's hardly called a ship, Natsuki. This is an auto transporter."

"I can't believe as a Hime I am aboard a ship that doesn't have a spatial support and a control glove." Natsuki exhaled.

"I've told you. This is not a ship. It's an auto transporter" Shizuru stated matter of factly again.

"I know. But this is really depressing. Don't move too much. I suddenly have an urge to shoot you again." Annoyed clearly in Natsuki's voice.

"Ouch! Ara. I'm already wounded here."

"Watch where you're hand are." Natsuki huffed.

"Ara. My hand is safe on your side."

"No! Baka..Its..Its..touching my bottom" the last word come out as a mere muttered.

"What? I can't hear you, Nat.."

"You're touching my bottom, Baka!" now the word came loudly deafining.

"ma..ma…what can I do. We don't have enough space in here."

"I know.."

"fhuh…" another exhaled from Shizuru.

Silence….

"Dear stars, Please heed the wish of your short-lived one, Our wish, That is, To end our lives amongst your princess." Closing her eyes, Shizuru said those word as the only prayer she know. Tranquilty...

"Shizuru…." Natsuki suddenly feel sad by Shizuru's word. "Thank you."

"Hmm?" questioning red pupils meet green one.

"Thank you for saving my life before. Thank you for taking that shot for me."

"It's nothing, Natsuki. I don't want to see you're wounded, even getting any scratches"

"Shizuru…"

"Hmm?" the gaze softening on the ruby eyes.

Green one look determine onto the ruby pupils . "I…. You are my pride." As those words escape, red eyes widening shocked of what happening next, before voluntary close and savour the moment. Natsuki sweet lips close the distance between them, the hand around Shizuru tighen and clench the cloth shakingly. As those words came from Natsuki, and the others lip touch hers, finally, Shizuru understand, what has been those hurt and heartbeat she been experience all through their journey.

It's Love…..

My precious princess….
