The work day had ended rather…fast, much to the blunette's displeasure. Natsuki had forgotten about going to dinner at her mom's until the end of the work day. She had asked Shizuru, received a yes, and was already on her way, but she couldn't keep herself from being so freakin nervous! *Sigh* I hope she doesn't ask anything embarrassing about Shizuru.
Natsuki was driving her Black Mazda 323 sedan. Not that fancy, but then again she wanted to warn her companion of the events that may come without having to shout, and practically crash in the process on the 'cati.
Looking over to the brunette, Natsuki put on her serious face. "Shizuru, *deep breath* my mom is crazy."
The crimson eyed woman forced back a chuckle at the deadpanned remark of information from the biker. "Ara, would it be okay for Natsuki to say that about her own mother?"
If it weren't true maybe. "Trust me. You need to know this. Sometimes she can a little attatchy get what I mean?" Receiving a confused look from the brunette, Natsuki decided to elaborate. "You see, ever since my father walked out on us years back for one of his many mistresses, she has been very protective about who comes into either of our lives, for fear of enduring the same pain we went through during the long drama-filled separation. Although I'm an adult now, I still feel that she is trying to watch out for me in her own creepy, but caring way." But it can get excessive so only my friends have been by to meet her and she loves them all…even Nao…surprisingly. "So you see.."
Shizuru smiled. "It's fine Natsuki. I get what you mean."
The blunette let out a nervous chuckle as she turned the wheel and parked in the 2 story house's driveway. The brunette unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to gently poke at Natsuki's cheek, causing a look of shock followed by a huge blush.
"Calm down, it's just dinner after all." Shizuru just chuckled and stepped out of the car. Natsuki sighed and stepped out to join her amused companion grinning widely as she thought. I still can't believe she said yes…
The two women made their way up the steps and rang the doorbell. It opened almost instantly….much to Shizuru's surprise at it was practically yanked off its hinges…Natsuki just rolled her eyes.
"Ma-" The blunette began to scold before she was so rudely interrupted.
"NATSUKI! Go out and get me some Sashimi for dinner tonight!" Saeko yelled pushing her out of the doorway frantically. Geez she acts like there's a fire.
"Ok alri-ALRIGHT WOMAN! Stop shoving me already mou! Come on Shizuru lets hurry away from this loon." The blunette trudged down the steps before noticing the lack of steps behind her. "Shizuru?"
Saeko smirked and tugged the crimson eyed beauty inside. Saeko rested her hands upon Shizuru's shoulders. The brunette just chuckled as the woman stuck her tongue out at her daughter. "You go. She's staying with me for some girl talk!"
"And what am I, a moose?!" The blunette argued clearly agitated at her mother's childish actions.
"Noooo, you're the errand boy." Her mom countered guiding the goddess inside her den of evil.
"Grr I'm a girl! And you don't have permission to kidnap my Shizuru!" The blunette froze, her own confirmation shocking herself as she watched her mother's smirk widen impossibly. The brunette's calm demeanor remained flawlessly intact. "Uhm.. Fine bye!" Natsuki stepped off into her car and slammed the door shut and drove off.
Dang woman and her tactics! She thought while driving to the nearest quickmart around the corner. I bet she just did all this just to keep me from being able to protect Shizuru! Natsuki blushed furiously remembering her almost slip of the tongue at the steps. 'My Shizuru' Where in the world had that come from? And why did it feel so natural…
The blunette continued her train of thought into the 'Grab and Go Grocery.' Hey this is pretty close to where Mai lives…hehe maybe I can borrow some sashimi from her and save my precious money! Natsuki grumbled and quickly exited her vehicle and walked into the grocery market.
She made her way to the meats section where there was hardly any customers at this time of day, as people were most likely home eating dinner, besides your occasional teen looking for a pre-party snack. Okaaay Sashimi…sashimi…sas…Oh for kami's sake! Natsuki found that she had made a complete circle back to where she began. I hate shopping! "Where's a cashier when you need em?!" She grumbled. "She's just gonna end up with some canned tuna if this keeps up I swear. Dumb fancy meats." In the midst of her rant she felt a thud and heard mild grumbling. Curious to the interruption to her thoughts, she looked up and soon realized that she had rammed into some poor unsuspecting orange haired Mai..Wait.
"Mai?!" The blunette questioned as she noticed the woman in front of her looked identical to her best friend.
"N-N-Natsuki? W-Where did you come f-from?" Mai whipped around with an uneasy smile trying desperately to hide her discomfort.
Okaay? "Ok, what's up with you?" Natsuki asked waving a finger in front of her friend's eyes skeptically.
"N-Nothing! Hahaha!" She laughed nervously. "Now would you please-"
"Whatcha got in the cart then, ingredients?" The blunette peeked around the bubbly woman, noting that she had bought very specific dinner items differing from her normal shopping runs when Natsuki was forced to join. "Company tonight I see.."
Mai's face lit up a deep shade of crimson and gave her a brutal punch to the arm.
"Ouch woman! What?"
"Get outa h-here Natsuki!" She said as she jumped in front of her cart blocking her view of the contents.
"And why are you so freakin jumpy!?" Natsuki yelled as she stood and waited.
"…"
Natsuki crossed her arms, long forgotten about the game of hide and go seek sashimi and gave Mai a look that said 'well?' She sighed and opened her mouth to speak but before she could utter her explanation a voice boomed from an aisle.
"Hey, would green beans be alright for tonight? I've been looking forever and it seems like this is all they have." Spoke a man with dark sideburns and blonde slicked back hair. T-Tate? The swimmer was still making his way over studying the can for any artificial preservatives.
Dumbfounded.
The shock coursing through the biker's body rivaled the very time of her father's departure. I-Is she.. Are they..?
Noticing the silence leaving his question unanswered, the man spoke again eyes never leaving the can. (He must really be into his health!) "Mai?" He came over and brushed his arm on hers quizzically, nearing the end of the health facts by the barcode.
"…Tate-kun." Mai nudged, he finally looked up and Mai averted her eyes to the side cheeks blushing again.
"Yes b- NA-N-NATSZZ-UKI!" He jumped back and his hands flew up sending the can soaring into the milk aisle.
Yup. They are. Natsuki grinned at his reaction despite the situation, natural instinct urging her to tease her friend. "Well well well Mai my friend, will the green beans be alright for the dinner tonight?"
Both of them visibly gulped and a look of deep guilt invaded their eyes, but somewhat more so in Tate-san's.
"I guess there's a bit of explaining to do."
The blunette whipped out her key, opened the door, and stepped in shutting and locking it behind her.
"Mom I'm back!" Natsuki shouted carrying the grocery bag into the kitchen. Where the heck are they? Finding it empty, she set the bag down on the table and followed the light permeating through the hallway. Laughter echoed louder the closer the blunette got towards the dining room door. She opened the sliding door and was greeted warmly to the sight of Shizuru and her mother sitting next to each other looking at something on the table.
The comfortable lighting of the room brought that whole family-feeling, which brought a sigh of relief to Natsuki as she cleared her throat making herself known. Shizuru glanced up meeting emeralds with a small blush gracing her cheeks, but she quickly adjusted her gaze back to whatever was causing so much laughter. Natsuki's heart melted in a warm embrace, finding that she had loved every time the woman blushed, but she idly wondered what had humored them before.
"Natsi! You've finally returned! We waited for you." Saeko grinned and suspiciously scrambled to scoop up a binder from off the table causing the brunette goddess to chuckle softly and sip her drink.
Arg… "Mooomm my name is Natsuki! N-a-t-s-u-k-i!" She grumbled.
"Oh my, is my little girl embarrassed of her nickname now that there is company? Mou, and after we waited so patiently." Saeko paused to stand and walk towards a bookshelf in the room to place the binder on. "I even had to bust out the photo album to keep our guest entertained!"
She what.
"..You what?" Natsuki asked glaring at her mother. Saeko just smirked and winked at Shizuru.
She didn't.
"Oh I believe I just showed an innocent photo or two of you, to your lovely-"
"What photos." Not a question but a statement. She kept her voice steady and eerily low and calm.
Saeko inched closer towards the door sliding it open. Once she felt her escape practical, she finished her sentence with two words. Two words that caused the blunette to lunge at the door before stopping at it being shut in her face.
"Naked Natsuki." *Wink* SLAM! Silence.
Awkward silence.
After everything chilled and dinner was served it was actually a very pleasant night. Natsuki was surprised at how open and loving her mother was treating Shizuru. Usually the guests Natsuki used to bring would get grilled mercilessly then put into some kind of probation. But before she knew it Saeko was planning for their next 'family dinner.' The blunette smiled and shrugged continuing to eat her food in bliss while they chatted.
On the way out, Natsuki had went through it all trying to hold onto plate after plate of leftovers forced to her by her griping mother and put on her shoes and jacket at the same time. *Siiiiigh* She grumbled after she finished causing the two very amused women to giggle. Dang women could've helped!
"So I'll see you next week then right honey?" Saeko asked as she hugged Shizuru like she was her own daughter.
"Yes of course -" Shizuru agreed with a happy smile.
"Ah-ah-ah" she shook her head. "Call me mama!"
"Mom!" Natsuki protested muffled through all the clutter of plates she was holding.
"Not you Natsi, I was talking to my future daughter-in-law!" Wink.
Her cheeks lit up in a volcano blush.
Shizuru couldn't contain her laughter and it only fueled more of a proud response from Saeko as she grinned in her victory.
Twenty minutes later, with everything packed into the car, the couple waved bye to Saeko before Natsuki drove out of the driveway and turned off the avenue to the main-street.
They rode in silence for a moment allowing the radio to provide sustenance. Meanwhile Natsuki's thoughts convinced her to speak up and start a conversation. She stopped at a stoplight with the streetlights keeping the darkness from seeping everywhere in the night. The blunette looked over at the goddess to read her body language before bringing up a topic.
Her breath caught in her throat as she noticed the woman's seat was slightly reclined back and her head was turned facing out of the window. With her eyes closed she looked so serene, almost like she was at peace. Her chestnut colored hair looked dark brown and her form was sinfully seductive. Her body was slightly curved to a c shape with one leg tucked underneath the other. While her arms, oh her arms were sprawled. One behind the headrest, the other resting on her deliciously toned abdominal.
"Yes, Nat-su-ki?" Shizuru spoke with her Kyoto-ben vibrating softly in the silence.
Natsuki hadn't noticed, but she had stopped breathing momentarily and the only reply that resonated from her slow mouth at the time was a weak "Uh-huh..?"
The brunette slowly opened her muddy crimson eyes and adjusted to meet emeralds.
"Did. You. Want. Something?" She stroked the blunette's lips in between each word, eyes never breaking contact.
At that very minute, autopilot officially turned on (so to speak) as Natsuki gave in to all of her desires.
"Yes."
Shizuru reached over and unbuckled the blunette's seatbelt allowing her breast to press briefly against Natsuki's right arm. FFFFUUUU-
"Ara, and what might that be?"
YOU. HERE. NOW.
Without answering Natsuki reached out, held her head, and crashed their lips together. Finally. Her mind screamed, enjoying the taste of the other woman on her mouth. After a few intense minutes of passionate kissing and touches over clothes, Natsuki decided to take it up a notch and disconnected her lips from the other to latch hungrily onto the brunette's neck. Sucking and licking mercilessly and grazing canines softly on the throbbing pulse point.
"Ah! Natsuki…" Shizuru moaned as she grabbed Natsuki's hair and leaned closer onto her shoulder twirling and tangling her fingers in blue locks. The brunette's left hand eased up underneath Natsuki's shirt and slid up and down her back in between moans of pleasure.
Natsuki whimpered softly from the feeling of slender warm fingers gliding up and down her spine. Ugh kami! I feel like I'm on fire! "Nggh Shizuruuu.."
Lips met back with heightened urgency. Sloppily embracing, touching any skin possible, until the brunette reluctantly broke apart and sat back in her seat fixing her seatbelt. The blunette biker had to resist the urge to yank her back by her jacket and *ah-hem.*
"Then lets go." Shizuru said, relating to the question that began this entire session.
"Hai!"
The car was the batmobile. Natsuki drove it like she was being chased by the cops from her grand theft auto video game. The two of them darted out and ended up at Natsuki's apartment. The blunette quickly scooped up the leftovers from dinner and all but threw them into her practically empty fridge.
She locked up the door and made her way to her room where her Shizuru was waiting in the doorway. Natsuki smiled like a toddler when her shirt was ceased and she was pulled into her room, receiving a smirk from the brunette. Then the door closed. (A/N sorry guys it IS T)
The next morning the blunette found herself wrapped up in a warm embrace. What is this soft feeling? She wondered, blinking away the drowsiness from the night. She slowly turned over and her face heated up completely seeing the woman of her dreams in all of her upper glory under the blankets with her. Sh-Shizuru! She blushed deeper remembering all of what happened last night. She smiled and kissed the brunette on the forehead causing her to murmur and stir cutely.
Aww!
Fighting the urge to stay wrapped up all morning Natsuki decided to take a walk to clear her head and come back more fresh when Shizuru awoke. She got up silently and threw on some jeans and a white tee and her headphones. The blunette grabbed her key and shut the door just missing her home phone starting to ring.
The noise woke up Shizuru who was sleeping soundly for about 5 rings. She yawned and looked around for the phone. "Natsuki?" She called. No answer. "She must have gone out." She mumbled to herself making her way downstairs to the persistent phone. By the time she spotted it, it had stopped ringing, but a red button flashed indicating that the person left a message.
Shizuru considered leaving it be, but her curiosity took her as she picked up the phone and clicked to the message. Her eyes widened, and she dropped the phone to the floor in shock. Thousands of emotions passed through her anger, hurt, betrayal. She fixed her body language up and sat down stoically awaiting the return of the now unfortunate Natsuki.
She waited, as the caller I.D sign wrote out the name of the messager: Yuuki Nao.
