ShizNat fanfiction Shiz
'It has been nearly a year since I left Fuuka Academy.'
*you hear some people chatting around in the background*
'Ne, Natsuki- how long haven't I heard your beautiful voice?'
"Shizuru-sama" a girl comes running to her, smiling with big eyes and the cutest expression on her face that she had.
"Ara, Hachi-san. Still at campus? I thought you may have left to the dorm already." Shizuru giving her typical smile.
"Um, actually I was waiting for you. I really need your help." She kind of looks a bit desperate.
"We can talk on the way to the dorm, okay?"
"So basically you are in love with my roommate?" Shizuru gives off a slight laughter. "Seriously I am kinda relieved, since you told me in November that I would be your crush."
"Don't say it that loud, please Onee-sama! I had a crush on you, but I'm telling you: THIS IS LOVE!" She makes a winning pose.
"Now who's the shouting one?"
"iiiagh" Hachi's face turns bright red.
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and I try to find out about Nana-chans feelings."
"Nana-chan, I'm home."
"Oh, your late. I just got back from the convenience store. Shall we cook together?"
"Yeah, sure. I just go take a change of clothes."
"Well-how about Ramen this evening Shi-chan?" Nana smiles politely at Shizuru.
"Hm." *Nodding* "Ne, Nana? You are just as tall as me. You have this beautiful body of yours and cute short hair."
*Nana's face is blushing* "Shi-chan! What's that all of a sudden?"
"I mean you are very popular at campus. You could have more than one boyfriend."
"You are not the one to talk like that when all of the boys and the girls flatter around you."
"Maybe, but you know I only have eyes for that one girl. So are you also interested in girls?"
"You do know that already-I could tell about you the moment I met you! So why this all of a sudden?"
"So that actually happened on your way home. Well I have to admit that I found her cute before..." Nana is raising one hand to rub the side of her head
"Before, you mean before she confessed to me?" Shizuru giving her a bright smile.
"I will talk to her by chance-promised! But do you think she is honest?"
"Ara, starting to care already? Kinda cute."
"Ahh-you moron. Well we already have this topic on now so, tell me. Why don't you keep contact with that girl? I mean she didn't tell you to stay away, did she?"
'How do I explain myself. Nana is honest but I never was the type to be honest with others about my feelings.'
"The Ramen really is delicious, Nana-chan." giving her best smile while filling her bowl again.
"Oi, Shi-chan. We did it together, you know. You don't have to thank me every time that I am still living here with you, even though I am always the one to go and buy the things we need. You definitely are the one who keeps our apartment tidy and clean!" shaking her head softly.
"Nana, you asked me earlier why I didn't keep contact with Natsuki." calmly standing up and starting to wash the dishes.
"Ah, so you finally do speak about it, huh? Her name is Natsuki? Sounds like she is a cute girl and yet I always thought you would have the, you know, the girl-part in the relationship." starting to grin.
"Ara?" starting to brew some tea.
"That's a good idea, I'll finish to wash the dishes. When it comes to making tea, no one is better than Shi-chan." standing up to finish the cleaning.
"Well, I guess since you are the only one to call me Shi-chan it will be okay to tell you why I didn't give her a call." nipping at the tea.
"I'm honored ~Milady~ ." taking a big gulp.
"On my last day I gave her photo that shows us before the bad times we had. It is one of the biggest treasures I have. Since it was made I always kept it with me. However, her reaction as she saw it made definitely clear, that she has no feelings for it." taking another sip.
"So basically you shout yourself of because you got hurt." *sigh* "Believe me, I do understand you."
While Shizuru is refilling their cups a tear runs silent down her face. As she notices it she tries to turn her face away from Nana. 'My oh my, seems like my mask is breaking.'
"So, did she tell you not to call her?" trying to hide the fact that she saw Shizurus tear.
"Not really." calming herself. "In fact I asked her pretty blunt if I should call her..." laying her left hand on her chest.
"Shi-chan. You don't have to force yourself to tell this to me." using a very soft voice.
"Nah, it's okay. You see, she just sad that I would always do what I want. But my head just counted it as if she had said that I would never do what she wanted." another tear falls down, avoiding the cup just by centimeters.
"Don't try to give me a smiling face just to cover this one, Shi-chan." taking her in her arms.
As the sun of the next day rises Shizuru is already up, thinking about her past. 'There actually never were a lot people in my live that I was able to open up. I really have to thank mom that she would allow me to study in Tokyo. Seems like she did understand how I felt. I just wanted to get a distance between her and me, to maybe accept how things worked out. Yet I don't just miss my beloved one, I also miss my best friend.'
Some hours are passing while she is thinking about Natsuki, the flower garden, the student council room where Natsuki often fell asleep, ...
'Ara? Already 9 am. maybe I should wake up Nana. Huh? She's already left? Maybe she already went over to Hachis place. I should find something to do, I mean semester breaks are quite joyful times. Normally in vacations I went shopping with Natsuki.' *sigh* 'That girl wouldn't have any clothes to wear if it wasn't for me.'
"Oi! Shi-chan!" Nana running towards Shizuru after slamming the door.
"Ara? Nana-chan was up pretty early. How uncommon of you." looking at the closed door and starting to grin. "I thought you would bring Hachi-chan with you."
"I got something better, believe me. Here, look."
Nana is handing over 2 tickets.
"Ti-Tickets for Fuuka? Are you serious?" Shizuru starting to shiver.
"HAI! Now grab your things, we're gonna have some fun there. I really want to have some other view than the city of Tokyo, plus: you still have an apartment there, right?" joyfully, yet honest.
"B-But you also have a house in Germany where your parents live, right Nana? Wouldn't you..."
"STOP speaking nonsense. You do know why we have to go there. Germany can wait!" making a winning pose. "I'll definitely help you win her heart!"
"I have to admit that this is really a magical place, Shi-chan. Everything seems to be peaceful and calm, just like you." Nana looking around with a shine in her eyes.
"Nana-chan sure is overexcited. Also this place wasn't ever this peaceful, believe me. It was often pretty loud and" 'I can't tell her about the HiME's' "You know what I mean." dozing away a bit by the view of this familiar city.
"Show me the academy! It really has to be like in a manga, right? I mean this city could come out of one..." jumping from one corner to another like a little child on Christmas.
"Ara, I sometimes forget that Nana-chan is all new to our eastern style. Germany has to be totally different." giving Nana a teasing smile.
"Seems like you finally relax a bit. You were pretty frightening to watch since our arrival here." looking at Shizuru a bit worried.
"Maybe you're right. Let's walk a bit so my head can cool off. I make sure to show you the academy."
Time passes as they walk all the way to Shizurus former school. The scenery is peaceful, yet blows there a strong wind from time to time, especially as the city is lying further and further behind them.
Shizuru and Nana stop in front of Fuuka Academy.
"Oh wow. I actually really think it is like in a manga. Don't tell me it's an all-girls-school!" Nana sure over enjoyed.
"Nah, it's just a normal school, having *harrumph* normal students"
'No HiME's...Nooo'
Shizuru lays her right hand softly on her left side where her HiME mark once used to be.
"This sure brings back a lot of memories. It somehow feels just like yesterday that I learned here."
"KA-KAICHOU?"
Shizuru jumps around to see a orange-red haired girl standing behind her with big eyes.
"Mai-san. You look shocked. Is something bothering you?" giving her a light smile.
"I'm fine, it's just...what are you doing here? I mean, you're back?" Mai now calming a bit but still shocked.
"I just got here so I wanted to show my friend Nana around. Going to class in the evening?"
"Eh? No I have a club meeting and I am already late because- AH! Shizuru-sama, Natsuki is in the hospital!" half shouting at Shizuru now. "She doesn't look so goo-"
Before Mai could even finish her report Shizuru starts to run, leaving Nana and Mai behind.
'How long am I running now? I can't see Fuuka Academy anymore. Gomene Nana, I just have to get going. Natsuki. Natsuki! I'm coming for ya. Please be okay. Natsuki!'
She forgot anything else now while running.
As she finally arrives at the hospital she realizes that she run at least 5km without stopping. She's going right ahead to the information desk.
The woman seems deeply in work though no other visitors seem to be here at this hour.
"We don't allow visitors this late, I'm sorry." She's barely looking up at Shizuru.
"My name is Fujino Shizuru. I'm absolutely positive you heard about my mother. She is a big investor of this hospital and some other public buildings especially in this town." speaking yet a bit harsh but also with the pressure of a business man.
"Ah? Oh I'm so sorry Miss Fujino. I didn't kno- who would you may grant your visit? I'm sure we can arrange something." The Lady is bright red now noticing in which trouble she would be if her boss found out.
"Kuga Natsuki. And may she be not in a single room immediately move her into one" ordering with an all clear voice "I'll pay for it."
'There she is. The doctor said she has not eaten properly. Yes it seems like she lost some weight. Your just a child after all, Natsuki'
"zuru" *moan* "Shi...Shizuru" *moan* "ahn"
'EHH? Did she just? She is moaning my name...should I touch her? No NO stop it! I won't lay a finger on sleeping Natsuki again. Last time should have been a lesson.'
Shizuru quietly sitting back in her chair relaxing for a moment then leaning forward to see Natsukis now troubled face. 'She is shivering while dreaming about me. I bet she has a bad dream of that night before I went mad.'
"Wake up. Ara, Na-tsu-ki. You have to wake up, you're having a bad dream." Shizuru leans over to her, gently wiping away the tear.
"I am all...alone" Natsuki starting to lightly wake up.
"Ara, I wouldn't say I am all alone when I'm having a visitor. This could offend people, you know. How are you feeling? Mai told me you were in a pretty bad shape this afternoon." Smiling with her ~everything is fine~ smile as if no time has passed between the two of them.
"Shizuru...you are really here..." still a very low voice
'Seems like she is dozing off again. Is her shape that bad?'
"EEHH? WHAT *jumping into vertical position* ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Natsuki now speaking pretty loud.
"I am visiting you. You know that you can't shout out so loud at evening in a hospital. And what's with that face you're making? You actually look kinda funny at the moment. Did I disturb you while you had a private dream?" Shizuru is looking deep in her dizzy green eyes. 'How I missed her emerald green eyes'
"What I meant is why you are here as in why you are at Fuuka...baka. And what's with that teasing about a private dream?" Natsuki starting to lose her balance.
"Careful." Catching her arm and pushing her back in the bed. "I have a semester break now so I thought I should come here and help you with your studying. You know, you were never that brilliant in maths."
'I could never stop teasing you Natsuki. Why can't you see it as my expression of love?'
"You disappear for more than half a year and now you act like nothing happened. You said you would call me." her voice is shaking a bit.
"You wanted me to call you?" Watching Natsuki with passionate eyes. 'She just lost her strength in voice, didn't she? Kawaii...'
"I missed you." Natsukis eyes widening suddenly as she realizes what she just said.
"Ara, Natsuki really must be sick. I really missed my Natsuki too, you know." perfect smile again. 'With her I can really be straightforward I guess.'
"You always called me so I thought you would at least let me know that you are still alive."
"So Natsuki was worried that I would be dead? How could I leave my Natsuki behind?" 'She is so cute today., feels like I'm melting.'
"Stop calling me as yours..." getting a stubborn expression on her face.
"Gomene, Natsuki. You should try to get some sleep, you are sick after all. Else your temperature might rise again."
'Though I would really love to listen to your beautiful voice a bit longer, my love.'
"Shi-Shizuru. C-Could you stay the night. If- If I gave you a kiss, w-would you stay?"
'My-oh-my. Natsuki for god sake don't make my heart beat like that. What has gotten into your head today. I guess I have no choice but to make her clear what she just offered.'
Shizuru leans over to her, looking at her pale lips. Natsuki is starting to shiver.
Natsuki closes her eyes and opens her mouth a bit. The next she feels is Shizuru lightly kissing her forehead.
"I already paid for Natsukis single room. You didn't notice that it's not the same as this afternoon? Ara, would you like me to join you in your bed?" a little teasing. 'This is my chance to steal a hug from my ice princess.'
"Your only going to be perverted. Don't you?" looking her in the red eyes.
"Nah-I don't want to catch whatever it is Natsuki has, but I thought that my arms and chest would be smoother than your pillow."
'Even though it makes my heart ache when you are this close. Seems like you are my illness, somehow.'
"Then I make some place for you. Maybe you also can rest some in this bed." letting Shizuru take her in her arms. "I feel dizzy again. I might fall asleep soon."
"Go on. I'll keep the nightmares from you." using a very gentle voice.
'I just have to ask her about it. Else I won't get any sleep.'
"You know, you were moaning in your sleep earlier, while you said my name. Who is the perv?" whispering in Natsukis ear.
"EEHH? NO I didn't! I'm sick so I sometimes have to gasp that's all- and I didn't call your name!" screaming.
"Ara, ara. I must have heard something wrong. Just relax for now. Let's sleep." a slight laughter.
'That was intense. So she really must have dreamed about me. What was that expression on your face just now, I wonder. '
