To those who send me reviews Thank you! Anyway if you think this chapter doesn't really satisfy you, please tell me. I accept all advice and suggestion. I can rewrite the story also if you want but that'll take some time XD. So feel free to give it to me.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Who do you think you are? Her LOVER?" Nosindo said while laughing bursting out tears. I didn't say anything instead I stared at him. 'I'm so gonna kill him' I told myself. I was about to opened my mouth to protest as someone cut in "You have no rights to laugh at her Nosindo-san." It was Shizuru. Her voice changed from crying.

"You certainly don't have to rights to laugh at her. I can't let you laugh at her. I WILL never let you tease her also. Natsuki... Nat... Natsuki's..." She said angrily. My eyes were wide open. "Shizuru?" I called her name.

"LIKE WHAT YOU SAID! I, SHIZURU FUJINO ARE NATSUKI'S LOVER!" She exploded to the peak of her voice... My heart stopped when I heard she said she's my lover. I bet the whole house can hear her voice. Shizuru's really angry. I've never seen her so angry before. The feeling of joy was spread all over my body… Looking at Shizuru clenching her fist, giving out her deadly stare to Nosindo, I was totally speechless... Shizuru's parents and Nosindo, was indeed in astonish status. 'Shizuru never shouted at people... Maybe teasing but… This is just not Shizuru…' I thought.

"You're telling me that you're a lesbian? The famous Fujino Company's daughter is a lesbian?" Nosindo asked. Shizuru didn't answer instead she gave an immediate nod. "This is an OUTRAGE!" He shouted storming out from the house knocking down some expensive vases and some maid along the way.

Closing my eyes, I sigh in relief but I wasn't sure why I am relief for. I walk towards Shizuru and look at her into her eyes. She's crying like a baby lifting both her hands to cover her face and to avoid eye contract with me. Slowly I touched her soft angelic hands. Pulling down her hand and lifted her head to look at my lover's face, I gave her a smile and cubed her face, wiping away her tears using my thumb.

Shizuru threw her arms around me and embrace me tight. I replied her embrace. I tried to fight back my tears but I failed. It just rolled out uncontrollably. Suddenly Shizuru fell on her knees and I followed her as well. The embrace pulled both of us down to the ground. She brushes my face on my chest crying harder and harder as I pat on her head. "I'm sorry... I'm terribly sorry Natsuki... I… I'm sorry..." I heard her apologizing between sobs again and again.

Before I could say something to comfort Shizuru, her parents cut in. "This is unacceptable! Your Fujino Company's future director after I retire!" Her father said angrily. "That doesn't mean I have to marry Nosindo-san right...?" She said clearly towards her parents. I looked at Shizuru, puzzled with words. Shizuru had always been an obedient child. I released her and she turned to face her father. "I've seen the company's investment, its share market, profit, lost and everything…" Turning her face to face me, obviously she knows what she's doing.

Looking down at the ground, she continued "It's not for Fujino Company's sake right? Instead it's for Nosindo Company's! Am I right?" Turning to face her parents, her eyes shines like a devil's eyes. "You're wrong, dear… It's really for our Company." Her mother said. I'm didn't know what to say and what to expect. But from what I know, her mother is trying to back her father up.

"Mrs. Fujino, Please don't lie to Shizuru… She's been a great president of student council in Fuuka academy. There's no way you can trick her like this." I said towards her mother politely. Her mother went silence. She looked down in defeat. "I…" Before I state what I wanted to say, I stood up and helped Shizuru to get on her feet. "I'll never let Shizuru suffer and for sure I'm not and will never take her happiness away.. I hope you let her choose her own happiness instead of taking it away." I continued.

"What the HELL are you talking about? Shizuru's my daughter! You don't have to teach me about happiness for my daughter! Didn't your mother ever teach you about mining your own BUSINESS?" Shizuru's father shouted towards me. I was frozen in words and movement when he said about my mother. 'What the hell did he know about my mother? He knew nothing!' I scream in my heart. Tears were rolling out from my eyes like water fall as I give out a deadly stare. I just hoped he is not Shizuru's father and I could just shut him up forever.

Shizuru who knew about my past and about my mother was shock and disbelieve with her fathers words. She knew it would hurt me deeply. Shizuru's father was about to assault me again when Shizuru cut in "ENOUGH ALREADY FATHER! You have crossed the line!" She shouted towards her father. Her father's eyes were wide open in disbelieve. "She had completely spoiled you is it... Don't you even think of leaving this house with the street brat! GUARDS! Don't let her out from this house! And report to the police about that brat!" He ordered his guards to detain Shizuru and asked one of his guards to report to the police about me. 'Oh great, this is just great' I told myself.

Without hesitating, I pulled Shizuru's wrist and ran towards the door. There were two guards there to stop us. When one of the guards was reaching out his hand to grab Shizuru, I swing myself and gave him a kick straight to his stomach. He fell down in an instant. Then I felt something pulling my hair hard dragging me to down to the floor. "Argh!" I shouted when my head hit the floor hard. The pain was obviously unbearable as I was hurt at the same place before. Before I could act, Shizuru swing her hand bag straight to his face causing him to back off a little and I took the opportunity to punch him straight at his nose. I heard as something broke, I guess I've broke the guard's nose.

I felt as the house is spinning as if I'm ridding a rollercoaster. 'I'm not going to lose my conscious here. I'm going to bring Shizuru out from this haunted house!' I reassure myself. "Natsuki! Your head's bleeding." Shizuru told me about my wound. I didn't answer although I knew she's very worried about my condition. Both of us make out way as fast as possible towards my bike just out side Fujino Estate.

Jumping on to my bike, I started the engine just as soon as I'm on my bike... The bike roared upon its awake. I threw a helmet towards Shizuru as she sat just behind me. She wrapped her arms tightly on my waist. The guards are just behind us, some of them are equipped with baseball stick. 'Baseball sticks? Why don't they just use gun. Most guards use guns…' I thought. Not wanting them to take Shizuru out from my hands, I rode off to the hotel.

> > > > >

Hotel…

We got back to the hotel in an hour ride. Shizuru helped me to my room on the top of the floor. "We're getting out from Kyoto today. No more delays." I told Shizuru. It didn't take long for Shizuru to agree. Shizuru's sitting on the bed exploring the room. "I... I'll head for a shower first. You can rest for a while Shizuru, you must be tired." I said to Shizuru.

"Natsuki... You're badly hurt" Shizuru said. She got on her legs and walked towards me. "It's ok. I'll be fine in no time" I said not wanting to make her worry. I was just a few feet away from the bathroom when Shizuru embrace me from behind. I didn't struggle to free myself. I miss her embrace, her kisses and her touches. I almost lost her today and I'm not going to let that happen. "Shizuru... I love you… and I'm not going to let you go from my hand" I said touching her hand.

Shizuru started kissing, licking and bitting my neck just below my ear and down to my shoulder as I played with her hair, moaning in pleasure. Turning around to face Shizuru, I cubed her face and claim her lips with mine. It was the greatest kiss ever. Shizuru started exploring my body when I stoped her. "Natsuki? Can't I…" I didn't let her finish her words as I place my finger on her lips.

"Not now. Let's get some shower and get the hell out from Kyoto first. This can wait." I reassure her. Shizuru looked disappointed but agreed with my answer. Shizuru released me and said "How about both of us have shower together." I look at Shizuru dumbfounded.

Shizuru giggle "Come one it's not the first time I said that. As if I have never seen you naked, Natsuki dear. I always admired your marvelous body." Shizuru said teasingly. I felt blood rushed up to me face. "Shi... Shizuru!" Shizuru started to giggle even more. Wiping away her tears form because of her laughing, she said "I'm just joking don't have to take it so seriously".

'Shizuru…' I called out her name in my heart. I know what she said earlier isn't a joke. She sounded so serious. 'Maybe I should… just take a shower with her… I really do miss her.' I thought. Shizuru notice me in my own thoughts and called my name. "Natsuki? Are you ok? What's on your mind?" She sounded terrified as if I'm going to do something terrible. "Hmm? No nothing…" I answered.

Shizuru looked satisfied with the answer and smiled. It was the smile I missed. The same old smile I never got bored looking at. I didn't say anything except looking at Shizuru smiling away. I closed my eyes and sighed. I opened my eyes and walked towards Shizuru; I drew my face closer to Shizuru and kissed her passionately. I run my tongue around Shizuru's lips, asking for permission to explore inside her mouth. Shizuru moan in pleasure and open her mouth. I took the advantage and slit my tongue inside her mouth.

We broke the kiss for air. I looked at Shizuru trying to catch some air into her lungs. I touch her hand and whispered into her ears "Let's have some shower… together… I longed to see your body again." Shizuru smiled and took my hand. We entwined our fingers and walked to the bathroom to have a cold shower.

> > > > >

Bathroom…

Looking at Shizuru smiling away while playing with the water, it was worth all the pain I've gone thru today. "Shizuru…" She looks at me with a questioning look in her face. "Yes?" She asked smiling. I felt blood rushing into my head as I continue to look at her. Quickly I turn to look outside the window before answering "You… really don't mind running away with me? Leaving your parents and your responsibility as the next director of Fujino Company?" I asked her. Knowing she's an obedient child, she just smiled and said "Yes… I don't mind… I can lose everything I have including my name as Fujino Shizuru just to be with you Natsuki… Why are you asking? You should know my answer…"

She hesitated a bit before continuing "Unless… you wanted me to go back… after…" I cut her short by pressing my lips with her. I didn't want her to finish that sentence… "You know that's not true… I… just…" My sentence got stuck in my throat not wanting me to tell her. "Natsuki?" She asked. I sighed "You're always an obedient child Shizuru. You always follow's your parent's advice and everything… Its not that I'm not happy Shizuru… In fact I can't even describe how happy I am now. I just wanted to know if you're happy with your decision now. I don't want you to be unhappy." I told her what I wanted to say.

"Yes… this is what I want… All I want is to be with you Natsuki… Nothing more… I don't mind suffering. As long as I'm with you, all pain and suffering is nothing." She said smiling. I didn't know what to say. I'm too overwhelmed with Shizuru's answer. Tears started to roll down. Shizuru cubed my face and licked my tears away.

"Shizuru… I just washed my face... now I have to wash it again" I said teasingly. Shizuru giggle and stood up. "I'm going to get changed." She said walking out from the bathtub to her cloths. After washing my face, I changed to my extra cloths I brought.

While folding my dirty cloths, I notice something inside the pocket. I inserted my hand and pulled something in a shape of a box out from the pocket. "Oh… I almost forgot about it" I said to myself.

> > > > >

Tossing my dirty cloths to the chair I sat beside Shizuru on the bed. "Shizuru, I have something to say." I said turning to face her. Shizuru shook her head "Nop… not now… let me bandage you first." She said. I almost forgot I got few cuts and bruises while fighting just now. Not to mention about my head but I don't mind about that. I wanted to give Shizuru something important, something more important then my injuries. "No that can wait… I have something more important than that." I reached to my pocket when I saw Shizuru got on her legs.

"Shizuru?" She looked at me with her mysterious eyes. "I'm not going to listen or see if you don't let me bandage you first." She threatens me. My mouth dropped when I heard what she said.

"Sigh... alright… alright… Be gentle please. It really hurts." I sigh in defeat, pulling my hands out from my pocket and place it on the bed. Shizuru slowly walk to pick up the first aid kit and walk towards me. "Now be a good girl and let mummy take care of you, Natsuki-chan"

"What? Mummy? Shizuru, since when are you my mom?" I asked. "Now now don't deny now. Come to mama." Shizuru said smiling evilly while walking closer and closer. I felt like I fell into her trap, the worst nightmare in my entire life... "Shi…Shizu… Shizuru? That's... That's not funny…" I said trembling.

After 30 minutes…

"OUCH! Okay! Okay! Enough Arggh! It hurts! Shizuru! You're killing me!" I shouted for mercy, begging her to stop. "Mo… Natsuki… relax… I'm almost done..." With that she tightens the bandage and locks it with a clip. "See done!" She said clapping her hands.

I look at her as if she's a diabolical nurse. Placing my hand on my head I said "Shizuru… it hurts like hell… Do you even know how to bandage people?" Shizuru smiled "Nope! You're the first one to experience my "perfect" nursing technique!" She said happily.

I looked at her horrified. The word prefect kept running around my brain. 'No wander it hurts like hell' I thought.

"Now it's your turn!" She said sitting down beside me. "Huh?" I look at her dumbfounded. Shizuru turn to look at me "You said you have something important to tell me?" She reminded me what I wanted to do before getting aid by her so call "perfect" nursing technique…

"Oh! I almost forgot about it! Thanks Shizuru." With that I insert my hand into my pocket and pull out a box, wrapped in a lavender scent paper. Passing it to Shizuru, "Shizuru… this is from deep with in my heart… I hope you could accept it." It was natural that Shizuru was shock with the present. She accepts the present and slowly ripping the paper apart.

Now she's holding a square box which you can find in any jewelry shop. Shizuru started to breathe fast. My heart's racing as if I'm in a drag race competition. 'Shizuru… please accept it…' I begged in my heart. Slowly she opened a box and her eyes were wide open as well.

In front of her is a well heart shaped diamond along with some rubies on both sides. Its outer ring is made out of pure gold with some light decoration as it the stones are the blooming flower in the middle of the small decorated leaves. Shizuru couldn't believe her eyes. She blinked few times. I notice she's trying to say something but there are no words from her.

I got on to my legs and walked in front of the frozen Shizuru. I knelt down on my right leg and took Shizuru's hand. Shizuru notice me taking her hand and looked towards me. She seems like she knows what I'm going to say.

'Okay Natsuki... Breathe in... Breathe out…' I reminded myself to breathe in my heart.

Taking in my last breathe, I opened my mouth and said "Shizuru… No… Fujino Shizuru… With all my heart, will you be Mrs. Kuga? Ahh! I mean…" I closed my eyes tight… cursing myself for being unable to say those 4 simple words… Gathering all my courage, I opened my eyes again and look deep into Shizuru's eyes. There tears forming in her eyes already. "Shizuru… with all my hearts, all my intentions, will…" Taking in air as much as I could I continue "Will you marry me? Will you be my wife? Will you be Kuga Shizuru?" This time I asked in a more serious tone.

I felt a something cold and wet dripped on my hands. Shizuru's crying… Her tears rolled down her cheeks as she's smiled away. She tries to laugh but she couldn't… I felt so nervous, 'Damn you Kuga Natsuki… you shouldn't have ask this early!' I scolded myself. Biting my lower lips, I said "Shizuru? I'm sorry… Did I say something wrong? You can think about it please… Don't cry please…"

She shook her head and smile. "Yes…" She said. I'm puzzle with her words… My brain seems to stop working. 'It is true? Did… Did Shizuru just said yes?' I thought. "Huh? Shi…zuru?" I asked. "Yes Natsuki… Yes I will. I will marry you." Shizuru said smiling in tears. Then she jumped and hugged me tight, crying on my shoulders. I felt tears wetting my cheeks as well. I've never been so happy in my life. I pat on her head and said "Shizuru… lets start a new life… away from Fuuka… away from Kyoto…" I took her hand and helped her wear our engagement ring into her ring finger.

Shizuru nodded and said "How about Hokkaido? You can work as an engineer and I'll do some small business there." She said wiping away her tears. I smiled at her and said "That'll do… But first, let's get out from Kyoto and head straight to Hokkaido". She looked at me… puzzle in words. "Straight? It'll take days!" she reassures me. I cubed her face "Baka… Obviously, we'll stop somewhere on the way to get some rest for a day or two." She nodded and said "we'll need some cash, Natsuki"

Notice what she said makes sense; I place my finger on my chin and started to think. "Like this, we pack everything and head for the bank, withdrawing money should be fast before your parent's catch us from your ATM card. Dump the money in one of the extra bags we have and head off to Hokkaido. We can have a rest in Sendai if we're in time. I don't think your parent's wanted to post poster about you missing." 'It'll be very stupid to post a poster saying the Famous Fujino Company's daughter is missing which will bring havoc to them as Shizuru's safety's in line' I thought.

It took her a while to think about it and agreed. "What about my credit card and all those bank cards?" I looked at her and said "Throw it way. Let some kid pick it up and use it. Of course we'll need to withdraw enough cash. Oh write your password on the back of your ATM card. That'll make your parents confuse where you are when those kids are taking and using your ATM and credit cards."

She smiled and agreed. "After reaching Sendai, are you going to officially marry me then?" She asked. I looked at her and smile. "Of course… Now let's get moving." I said. We stood up and packed our bags. "This hotel…" Shizuru tried to ask. I knew what she wanted to say and cut her short "I've paid for it when I check in. I don't want to lose any time if I got you with me… Which is now that is" I said blushing. She smiled again and we kissed a few times before packing and leaving the hotel room.

TO BE CONTINUED…

How is it? I had to crack my mind as it's filled and packed with my school home works and other house stuff… I hope you all enjoy this chapter… Please tell me if it's ok. And again, I'll try to upload chapter 4 as soon as I can find some time… err maybe if I can steal some time from my packed timetable.
