Letting You Go

By Zenshiki

Chapter 2


After the graduation ceremony, Natsuki started to look for Shizuru. She was planning to congratulate the older girl and to finally accept her love.

After the carnival, she refused the love proposal of Takeda. She said to him that she is going to accept a love proposal of someone who's more important from anyone else.

Natsuki went all over the academy looking for the former kaichou but she never succeeded. Finally, she looked in the Student Council Room and asked some of the students if they have seen Shizuru.

"Oh... Natsuki-san? Why are you here? Are you looking for Shizuru-san? She already left the academy right after the graduation ceremony."

"Oh, I see…thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Natsuki-san."

"Shizuru, where the hell did you go?" Natsuki thought as she rushed away for the exit.

—Meanwhile—

"Ara, thank you very much Reito. I really appreciate your effort of accompanying me into the station."

"It's my pleasure, Shizuru. Anyway, are you really sure that you don't want to inform Natsuki about your departure? You know that she might get upset about it."

"Ara, I don't think so. For all the things I have done to all of the Hime's especially to her, I don't think they would be able to forgive me that easily. It is better to leave them alone."

"If that is what you truly wish then good luck. Have a nice trip, Shizuru. Please be safe. Send me a letter if you already arrive in Kyoto, ne?"

"I will. Thank you again Reito."

"You're welcome."

"Natsuki, I'm so sorry. So long, Natsuki" Shizuru thought soon after Reito left and tears started falling from her eyes.

"Ooooiiii! Where do you think you're going, Natsuki?" Nao is blocking Natsuki's way out, making the other girl getting irritated in no time.

"Oh great! Listen, I'm in a hurry, please step aside."

"Nu-uh! You're going with us! We will have a PARTY!"

"I'm not interested, so fuck off!"

"Aw! What an attitude! C'mon! It'll be fun!"

"Uh huh…"

"What? I was just telling you what Mai had asked for me!"

"FINE! I'll follow. Just give me a little time. There is something I want to settle."

"Ok, but be sure you'll come. Mai is insisting that you should, so you better put your damn ass in the karaoke bar later!"

"Whatever."

Natsuki wore her helmet and safety gears as she started to prepare herself to go to Shizuru's apartment. She felt very uneasy moments ago as if there's something going on that isn't right. She sped up her bike as she thinks of what was troubling her. She arrived at Shizuru's apartment but as she saw the lights were turned off, she realized that there was no one inside. She went closer and right after that, what she saw really shocked her. There's no one inside and the worst thing is there's no more furniture or any thing inside the apartment. She realized that there is really something wrong about what was happening.

"Dammit, Shizuru where are you?" Natsuki thought to herself as she dashed off the road.

As Natsuki drove her black ducati, she didn't notice a speeding car right in front of her as she was busy thinking for Shizuru's whereabouts. She didn't have time to dodge as she made contact on the speeding car. Due to the impact, Natsuki was thrown from her bike. Her head had managed to contact first on the cement, making her helmet crushed and severely hurt her head from the impact. She loosed her consciousness and felt numb. The only thing she mumbled before she had lost her consciousness,

"Shizuru…"
