Author Notes:
XD; The idea came to me after I got PUSH from the redbox. But trust me, its 100% original. Or at least I think so…
Anyway I hope you like it. As you can see I just can't stay away from Sci-fi/Adventure/Romance/Fantasy/Supernatural stories.
Disclaimer: I don't own Mai-HiME, and personally I wouldn't want to. Too much hassle dealing with something so popular.

The ending was always the same; no matter how many times she checked. Inevitable capture and life in a cell she was all too familiar with. A white haired middle schooler staring at her from in front of the bars with a mocking smirk on his fox like face. Pink eyes would twinkle at the growl she would give him. His lips would finally part and he'd say: "Welcome home, Natsuki-chan."
She rolled her green eyes, wondering why she even bothered to see if there was a new ending. The veins in her head pulsated with stress, also agreeing with her. 'Catching up' as she called it, had always left its toll on her body. Her fingers gently massaged her temple, trying to calm down her frustrated brain. Her brows furrowed during the action, showing her overall irritation and displeasure.
'Nothing will change unless I do something drastic to change it.' She nodded in agreement to her own thoughts, still keeping track of where she was walking. As she looked around, she soon became distracted by her surroundings. It wasn't often that she got to go out and see Fuuka.
Not knowing the exact date, she guessed that it was sometime in spring, since the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Petals fell from the sky, giving it almost an snowing affect. Once one fell in her bubble of sorts, she reached out and caught the pink object in the palm of her hand, hoping she didn't crush it. Opening her hand slowly, she peered in the cave she made for it, seeing if it was still in one piece.
Her left hand took the petal from her right and fiddled with it in between her thumb and index finger. It was soft. The blunette quickly noticed that she was no longer walking and dropped the petal. She picked up a pace, her worn out sneakers hitting against the sidewalk.
Natsuki continued the routine she did every two days. She gathered her things and moved on to another location. Once she saved up enough money, she would leave this godforsaken island. That was the only thing that kept her going.
That is, until she saw her.
She was walking on the other side of the road. She walked with such grace, her head held high. But she wasn't fooling Natsuki with that. Deep down, the older girl was nervous, and behind that mask of hers, she looked as if she was trying to get away from something. Darker than dark sunglasses shown in the morning sun.
The blunette's attention slowly moved to the crowd behind her. Just average people shopping for the average necessities. But two men didn't fit into that crowd. They wore black suits, with white shirts underneath and black ties around their necks. The two struggled to get past the swarm of people.
Natsuki looked back and forth between the men and the woman. There was defidently a connection. But what did she care? This had nothing to do with her, and quite honestly, she didn't want to be apart of whatever was going to happen. She took a step forward to continue her voyage when a hand clamped down on her arm pulled her back.
Thinking it was a pervert, she moved her arm back once, and sent her elbow driving into the stranger's stomach. Her elbow met fancy material in one swift motion. With a smug grin on her face, she looked back at the person, who now released her arm.
Emerald eyes widened at the sight of a man much like the two who were chasing the brunette. His body was hunched in pain, his arms hugging his abdomen. Feeling the need to get away, she quickly left his presence, only to be stopped by a crunching sound.
She looked down at what was in between her foot and the pavement. It was a shiny red badge. 'Must've fallen off that bastard back there.' She bent down and inspected the object, curiosity taking the better of her. It was shaped like a star and had the letter O in the middle.
For that brief second, air caught in her throat. 'How could they be here for me so quickly?' Her eyes looked up to see the brunette disappearing in the distance.
'You. You led them to me.'
That was all of the motivation she needed. Gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, she sprinted in the brunette's direction. 'It's all your fault! They didn't know where I was for weeks!' Being extremely athletic, she was soon closing the distance between them. 'It's all your fault!'
Her hand reached out and gripped the back of her shirt, yanking her back towards her. For a split second, she could have sworn that she also had a hold on the girl's bra as well. After the faint blush disappeared, she turned the girl around to face her. "You! You're an Orphan aren't you?"
The girl blinked behind her dark sunglasses, surprised at the young girl's looks. For one, if she was working for Obsidian, she would be wearing a suit of sorts. Her eyes trailed up her body slowly. 'Ara, what beautiful hair.' She almost reached out and touched the blunette's gorgeous locks before she heard her question.
Her eyes narrowed in an odd combination of anger and sadness. "Yes, but you wont think so in a minute." At that, she removed her glasses to revel blood red eyes. Unable to look away, Natsuki soon found herself in a trance.
"You don't know who I am and you have never seen me before." She spoke in a thick Kyoto accent before putting her sunglasses back on.
Right after, the blunette's eyes seem to glow with life again. "Huh? What the hell am I doing here?" She looked around as her eyes fell on the brunette once more. She still held her in a strong grip. "I-I'm sorry!" She let her go and backed away, her face flustered. She looked away in embarrassment, feeling her face heat up.
'Ara, how cute. She's just like a puppy.' "It's quite alright. You must have mistaken me with someone else." She flashed the girl one of her fake smiles before turning around to leave.
"Shizuru Fujino, Natsuki Kuga! Stop right there! You are official property of Obsidian and you must return back immediately!" The three men had caught up with the two, this time they held guns.
Shizuru looked at Natsuki with surprise and amusment. 'Who would've known that I'd meet another escapee so soon.'

Author Notes:
Yes, I know it's short. I have a knack of making the first chapter short.
If you are confused, that's great! You're supposed to be!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, but know that my answers will be vague since this fic just started.
I hope you liked it, please review!
