Chapter 4: Student Council Room
Shizuru was at her limit today. She really wants to yell at Natsuki if not only they are in the grocery store. She really was having a hard time to convince Natsuki which type of food to buy. And she really regrets that she insisted Natsuki to accompany her.
So much of favor from Director Fumi. If she just learned that her roommate will be this hard to handle, maybe she should decline the request to share her room with Natsuki.
------------------
Flashback
"I did not restock our food supply since you came. And I think I will go later to buy foods". Shizuru said while listing some items in her paper what she needs to buy. She did not know that she will have restock her food and she completely forgotten that she has another mouth to reconsider because looking at Natsuki, who she thinks never used any kitchen utensils.
"Ok." Natsuki response while flipping the page of the magazine she is reading.
"How about you make your list what you need?" Shizuru suggested.
"Why do I need to make a list? What you need is I think I also need it. Just make it double" The younger said still her attention was in the magazine.
Shizuru just stared at Natsuki. She can't make any comment because she did not know if Natsuki just jesting her.
"Do you think that I might have different taste than yours?" asked Shizuru.
"It doesn't matter. What you eat, is ok with me I think." Another page flipped.
Shizuru was really annoyed because she is really like talking to a five year old.
"Ok, that's it. You are coming with me" Shizuru announced. "Fix yourself. No argument. You are not that busy to decline it."
"What? I already said that there's no problem with me what you will buy".
Case closed.
End of flashback
-------------------
"Natsuki, don't you think that you will not last long if you will eat all that instant food?" Shizuru asked Natsuki who is grabbing all instant food she saw and put it in their cart.
"I lived for three years with it. I think another year will not make a difference." Natsuki said while examining some Japanese food. "Ei, Shizuru, is this delicious?"
Shizuru just ignored her and wait for Natsuki to finished dumping all the instant ramen. And Shizuru is controlling her emotion because she really hates instant food and thinking how she can persuade this girl to change her mind.
"How about you lessen these things and I will cook our dinner?" She suggested.
Natsuki was quite for a while then remove some instant food in the cart and place it back from the shelves. "Ok, let's go."
Wow. That's fast for persuasion.
Shizuru lead the way in the vegetable section. She examined some veggies then put in their cart. "Ei, Shizuru, what are we going to do in that thing?" Natsuki said pointing all the veggies in the cart.
"We are going to eat it."
"But why veggies?"
"That's kind of food I eat."
"But how about me? I don't always eat veggies." Natsuki said while pouting. "You will kill me with that stuff. Ne, arre you a vegetarian?"
"No I'm not. But I prefer to eat food with vegetables." Shizuru said. She smiled while watching Natsuki pouting. She did not know that pouting will make someone cute and adorable like a puppy.
"Now what? Why are you smiling like an idiot?" Natsuki glared Shizuru.
"Ara, I did not know Natsuki think I am an idiot." Shizuru said with a hurt tone. Maybe I can play a little.
"huh? Did I say that?" Natsuki said which is now uncomfortable with the situation. She can hear clearly the hurt of tone of the other girl. She really hates this kind of thing.
"Yes you said earlier." Shizuru said still whose face look like she is about to cry.
"What?! I did not say it. And you are not an idiot. Baka" yell Natsuki.
"See, you said it again." Shizuru continue acting like she was emotionally hurt.
"Forget it. It you really want that veggies. Fine. Let's go." Natsuki pushed the cart and leave Shizuru standing there. Better leave her than continue confronting her with their silly conversation.
Shizuru helped Natsuki to grab some meat for her. She knows that Natsuki's still might prepare the western food than Japanese food. So she just accepted that Natsuki's idea of food is full of grease.
She looks at their cart and she can see very clearly how the two of them are very different. She likes tea while the other one like coffee. She lives sweet things while the other one is not. She sighed. She really doesn't know if after a month they are still intact.
"Wait, Shizuru. I forgot something to get. Wait for me here." Natsuki ran in a corner then return carrying two big bottles of mayonnaise.
"What is that for?" She asked curiously.
"To eat of course". And place the bottles in the cart along with the food.
--------------
And another day at the student council room.
"It's not my fault. How many times I am going to tell you that?" Natsuki shouted to Haruka.
"What the hell are thinking that its not your fault? Everyone saw you punching that Takeda guy." Haruka also shouted back.
"Geesh, Suzushiro. You don't need to yell." Intervene by Nao.
Haruka look at Nao frustrated. "And what the hell are you doing in the scene?"
"Hey, I was talking to Kuga here. Then she was pissed and started shouting. "
"You started all of it. If you did not-"
"I am not talking to you yet." Haruka interrupted Natsuki. "And what that makes Takeda the victim here?"
"He is not the victim h-"
"And still I am not asking you yet." Haruka returned to Nao. Ignored Natsuki who is fuming to herself. "Please continue Yuuki."
Nao smirk seeing Natsuki ignored. She really wants seeing Natsuki rattled. "That boy interrupts our nice conversation and makes this girl mad."
"And that's why you punched him?" Haruka asked directly Natsuki.
Natsuki just stared back at her. She doesn't want to answer because she was ignored earlier. She wants her revenge to this loud mouth girl.
Haruka is in the verge of yelling when Reito interject in the interrogation. "If you will not answer Kuga-san, then that's make you guilty." Reito wants to stop this silly argument and shouting.
Natsuki contemplates to herself if she will tell the truth why she punched the spiky guy. She just nodded to herself. "That boy stopped me attacking Yuuki. So I punched him."
Haruka was perplexed of the turn of the event. "You what?"
"Oh, Did I miss something?" Shizuru said who just entered in the room accompanied by Erstin.
"It's not that important, Shizuru-san" Supplied by Reito.
"Is that so? And why do we have a guest today?" Shizuru turned her gaze toward Natsuki.
"Uhm, kaichou-san. Don't ask please." Yukino said. Fear is visible in her eyes.
Shizuru look at Reito who just shrugged his shoulder. She returned to Natsuki who is avoiding her gaze. Then she looks at Haruka who is also ignoring her. Then she glanced at Nao who is smirking. Maybe this one can answer her. "Nao-san, what happened here?"
"Please, I don't want my eardrum shattered kaichou-san."
"What the-"
"Shu-"
And another yelling session.
--------------
"For you Natsuki, one week of detention here in the student council." Natsuki winced inwardly. It means one week with Haruka too. "And you Nao-san, two days here for provoking this girl to commit her, uhm, crime" Shizuru finished.
She just hoped that she listen to Yukino's advice not to ask what happen. Her ears are aching after the stories where finished. Haruka is enough but Natsuki joining is really unforgivable. Shizuru muttered to herself.
She can't believe that it's only a week and Natsuki is in detention now. Shizuru watched the two girls who are seating in the corner of the room. The younger of the two is smiling menacingly while the other, she think, is controlling her anger.
"Well, let's go home. I'll see you tomorrow here Nao-san" Nao just nodded and dash out in the room. Leaving Natsuki and Shizuru in the room.
Ok, It's only me and Natsuki here. Better make her rattle. This is good.
"I did not know Natsuki will miss me that much?" teased by Shizuru.
"What?" shouted by the other occupant.
"Well, we you see, you are the last one I see before I sleep. You are the first one I see after I wake up. And now, you will be the last one I will see after school. So, I think you deliberately punched Takeda-san for the detention. Maybe you really like my company" Shizuru said with conviction. Natsuki is nodding to her in what she is saying. "So you agree?"
"Yeah."
"So you are missing me that much?"
"What? I agree with tha-" Natsuki instantly blushed realizing that she agree with the last part of Shizuru said. "N-no. I did not have that kind of idea. That boy is at the wrong place that time."
Natsuki breathed deeply trying to control her blushed. "C'mon Shizuru. Let's go home." She murmured. She realized that she was tired for the day's event.
Shizuru just laughed heartily. Natsuki was really funny looking like that. Angry at first then blushing at one moment then shy at the same time. Really, it's the best facial expression she see in her entire life. She continued laughing.
"Ne, Shizuru. I did not know you know how to laugh" Natsuki commented. She learned that leaving with her for more than a week says that Shizuru don't laugh like a kid.
"Ne, Natsuki, because you are so funny." Replied by Shizuru when she stopped laughing.
"SHIZURU!"
Another blushed.
Another laughed.
------------
"FUJINO!"
"Yes Haruka-san?" Shizuru asked.
"Why did you turn down their proposal?" Haruka said.
"I see some irregularities in their proposal. And I can't risk our students because of their selfishness. But I accepted the one you suggested to us last week. Don't you want their company to sponsor us?"
"Well if you already accepted it, who am I to argue?" Haruka said. "Well, in that case maybe we should visit them for the finalization of the contract?"
"Yes. Can you visit them this week? I'm not familiar with them. And I know you already met them."
"That's a piece of cake. Yukino, you come with me." And that she dragged Yukino out in the room.
"Wow. Peace at last." Nao said who everyone in the room absently nodded.
"Now, now, Yuuki-san. Don't judge Haruka-san. She is very reliable." Reito said. Nao just smirked, She knows better that there is manipulation hung there somewhere in the air.
"Here, Yuuki-san. Have some tea" Reito offered tea to Nao and then glanced to other delinquent according to Haruka. Reito sighed inwardly. He can't believe that Natsuki has huts to sleep in the middle of meeting. Mind you, with Haruka's shouting and annoyance, Natsuki slept in the whole process.
"Reito-sempai, If you believe in miracle, then Natsuki-san is one of them" commented Tate who are one of the volunteer of the student council.
Erstin who quietly writing all the details from the meeting chuckled when she heard Tate's comment.
Before anyone can comment further, someone knocked on the door. Reito approached and opened the door.
------------------
Mai asked Aoi and Chie to accompany her to the student council. She heard that Natsuki and Nao is in detention because of what happened yesterday. She believes that it is something to do with Nao provoking Natsuki. They are always like that when they meet visit the main building in Europe.
The three of them were walking towards the student council room when they saw Haruka and Yukino. Haruka stopped and asked her for a brief talked.
"Mai-san, see you later, ok?"
With that, Haruka and Yukino continue their walked.
"What's that?" Chie inquired.
"Ah, we will have our get together meeting. I think."
Chie knocked in the room when they reached it. Reito answered and ask what their purpose.
"Reito-san, Mai wants to see Natsuki-san and Nao. Is that alright?"
Mai looked at the man who opened the door at them. She was lost of words because of his charmingly smile. Chie nudged her in the back. "Mai, lets go inside."
She just nodded absent mindedly.
Mai pinched her in the arm that makes her yelp in pain. "Why did you that for?"
"Mai-san. You are day dreaming in the middle of the corridor."
"Geesh. I was just admiring our vice president." She said.
"Mai, you are dating with Tate but you are also admiring Reito-san. That's bad" Aoi commented.
Mai laughed. "I was just admiring how neat Reito-san looks. But that's all."
They entered the room and saw Nao drinking tea and at her side was Natsuki sleeping.
"Good afternoon, kaichou-san. I just want to visit these two." She said while pointing the two girls.
"It's ok Tokiha-san. We are already finished in our meeting. It's also nice to see you too. Harada-san and Senou-san." Shizuru said politely.
She nodded towards Tate when she noticed him inside the room then asked the kaichou what happened.
"Tokiha-san, you are at a good time to ask such question." Erstin said while looking at the sleeping girl.
"yeah. Good timing because we will not here anything from Suzushiro and Kuga here." Replied Nao.
Nao explained everything when the three new guests settled themselves.
"Why don't you wake her up Yuuki-san," Shizuru politely asked.
"No way, man. I still want to live." Nao said forcefully.
Mai giggled. "Yes, kaichou-san. We experience how Natsuki react when we try waking her up last year in her deep slumber."
Shizuru just nodded with the information. She knows it for sure because it's almost more than a week she is waking Natsuki up every morning. And those morning always a full pack action mode.
She just remembered the other day when she tries waking Natsuki. And she found out that Natsuki's back was very sensitive. She rubbed Natsuki there and the result was, well, a girly moan and the girl shivers. She just laughed at what she heard. This tough girl can be also so very feminine. But the good thing is, Natsuki slowly open her eyes and no kicking or punching.
But yesterday, she does it again but unfortunately Natsuki tries to punch her and only missed an inch. And earlier, she discovers something how to prevent this morning ritual.
"Well, maybe you should wake her up now. It's getting dark outside." Shizuru said after glancing at her watch.
"Shizuru-san, why don't you wake her up?" Reito suggested.
"That's a good idea. And I bet she will suffer for it." Nao said.
"I bet kaichou-san can make her wake up." Erstin said.
"Then, let's bet who win." Chie announced. And the rest is history. Money drawn in the table and start betting.
"If Haruku-san is here, we all are in detention now." Shizuru smiled. But she will comply with this silent challenge. She also wants to see what will happen.
She silently walked towards the sleeping girl. Nao give way for her. Shizuru stop besides the girl who's head is leaning in the table. "Natsuki-" Before she finished what she is saying and before she start what she will do to wake Natsuki, the younger girl stir and grab unconsciously the older girl.
What happened was: Natsuki who seems to be slightly awake saw a figure looming in her eyesight and grab it. She thinks it's her pillow and she concluded, while still in her dreamy state, that it is her pillow because of its softness.
And what happened to Shizuru? She was landed on Natsuki's lap, who instinctively and to her surprise, the younger girl wraps her arms to her waist. Natsuki snuggled more and cradle her head in Shizuru's neck.
What happened to the other? Everyone was shocked, of course but Chie who is always prepared manage to make some pictures.
Before anyone can react to what happen, a loud gasp was heard in the door. A green hair girl standing there mouth opens.
"Kaichou-sama, what are you doing there?" Tomoe said with anger clearly visible in her eyes.
"Wow, kaichou-san, I did not know the mere presence of yours can make Natsuki crumble" Nao said mischievously.
And Tomoe was ignored by everyone. They watched how their Kaichou struggled to Natsuki's grab and the slight blushed was appearing slowly in her cheeks.
Shizuru was flustered by the turned of events. And she feel embarrassed with her situation but at the same time comfortable with the warmth giving her by Natsuki. A warmth feeling slowly spreading in her chest and to her face. She shakes her head to compose her thoughts.
She leaned closer to Natsuki and whisper. "Natsuki, can you let go of me, now? People are watching."
Natsuki slowly open her eyes when she felt someone is breathing in her ears. She shivers instantly. She looked at Shizuru who seems closer to her than ever. Still fighting her foggy thoughts, she scan the surrounding which make her gasp loudly.
"Mai, this is a miracle indeed." Nao said shockingly.
"Yes it is. This is the first time I saw Shizuru blushed." Added by Reito.
"Aoi, are you seeing this? It's good having this kind of cell phone now a day. I filmed every bits of it. We are going to be rich." Chie said.
"It seems that we should continue this in a private place, Natsuki-chan." Shizuru teased the younger who seems are already awake. She needs to break the silence and eerie feeling hanging in the room.
"WHAT?!!"
"NOOOO!"
--------------------
Meeting
Someone is having a bad day and sulking in the corner.
"Midori-san, don't ask questions ok? Just leave her alone for a while." Mai whisper to the older girl in the room.
They were having their meeting in Midori's place.
Midori eyed her questioningly. She watched the four students across the room. Nao was using her cell phone with nasty smile plaster in her face. Haruka was too quite that seems like it's the end of the world. While Mai looks nervous. And then, there is someone who seems shut her world to others, Natsuki.
"Ok. Back to business guys. Let's forget first what's happen today. I wa-"
"Just tell what you want to say. No speeches please." Natsuki interrupted. Her eyebrows suddenly twitched when she heard that there is something implied there.
"Geesh, kuga. Still not recovering? " Nao smirked.
"Before you kill Nao, Natsuki, let me finished first. And no side comment Nao, if you please."
Midori interrupted the boiling anger coming from Natsuki. She don't want to be a referee for this two. Better finished her job early.
"Blue eyes sent me our first mission here. He said that, we need to watch these students if there is any development in their capabilities. First thing first, watched their every moved. We need to know everything about them. But the worst part is, the Weis already planned something beforehand. They already deployed their MAGE in this academy. But our information center can't point out who are they. We've been told that they already know who are the next in line users and planning recruit them in their side. And that's all they told me."
Blue eyes is the one who lead their group. He help them feel normal person even though they know that they are not.
"So, we proceed to our mission. So who's I'm going to stalk to?" Nao asked Midori.
"I think I better continue with Yukino. I know her better than the rest of us. And we are friends since childhood." Haruka suggested quietly.
Midori seems thinking about the suggestion and also thinking what's wrong with Haruka. "I guess it's ok, Haruka. Nao, since Nina is your classmate, then you watched her. Natsuki, you handle Arika and Mai, Mikoto is yours. "
The four just nodded and silence dropped in the group.
"Do as you wish. As what I think, they are giving us our freedom to think and do what our next step is. Let's just be accountable to each other and guard ourselves to what might happen. Open our eyes. Weis might also used students like you, to snatch the users. So I hope you will not let your guard down. And besides, I'm in the academy teaching, so approach me if there are any irregularities shown by any students and people nearby."
