I Got You
Chapter 3: Here Comes a New Challenger!
-
The day of the wedding came. The police station was getting ready for the patrol, making sure they have everything they need before heading out. Charge of the patrol was given to the microphone wielding, Head of Operations, Suzushiro Haruka.
"Let's go! Move it!"
Going over everything with a fine tooth comb, she leaves no detail unchecked.
"Ready? Move out!"
-
Far away from the station, Officer Kuga gets ready. Standing in front of the mirror, Natsuki reviews her attire. A sky blue ankle long spaghetti strap dress, it would've been ok if not for the slit on the right side that's only 3 inches away from riding all the way up her hip. The dress was so fitted that it left very little for the imagination. How am I going to move in this? Raven locks tied up with a clip leaving the back of her neck bare. Time to go.
Upon gathering all that she needs, there's a sudden knock on the door. Upon opening the door, she was greeted with the sweet smile of her new partner.
"Ara, Natsuki looks very pretty."
Observing the girl's attire, Shizuru was surprised to see how well the girl cleaned up. Eyes still looking up and down the girl's figure. Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, Natsuki crossed her arms and went right to the point.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was asked by Yuuki-san to pick you up." hmm, that slit...
Natsuki twitched upon hearing her comrade's name come up.
"Nao?"
"Yes. I do believe it would be difficult for you to ride your vehicle in that outfit."
She's got a point. Relieved that Nao wasn't up to anything, Natsuki shrugged it off and motioned Shizuru to come in.
"Give me a moment."
That said, she turned on her heels and went to her room. Shizuru stared as she walked away. Bare neck. Form fitting dress with slit. Very little for the imagination indeed. Behave...
-
Wondering why she had just returned to her room, Natsuki looked around. What the heck? She just came to pick me up. Yes, that's all. Get a grip. Lightly slapping her face trying to snap out of it. Gathering her thoughts together, she went back out to the other girl and left for the event.
-
Minutes into the drive, Natsuki finally noticed.
"How come you arn't dressed up?"
"I am part of the surveillance team, not the field."
"What? That's not fair!"
Hearing a slight hint of disappointment in her partner's complaint, Shizuru smiled.
"Would you prefer to see me in a dress too?"
"Of course." unaware that those words just came out of her mouth.
"As I remember, you were quite content staring at my legs during our conversation yesterday."
Pupils dilating and eyes grew wider as the sudden flash of images from their 'conversation' filled her head. That wasn't a conversation! That was...better. Realizing her own thoughts, Natsuki shook her head and stared out the window arms crossed. Knowing that she isn't going to get the other girl to talk anymore, Shizuru turned on the radio and drove to the location.
-
Arriving at the location of the wedding, Shizuru proceeded towards a small tent while Natsuki walked around until she spotted a familiar face.
"Nao!"
The red head turned around to face whoever called her name. Uh oh. I can still run while I can. Wait, she doesn't look angry. Maybe... Feeling safe, she approached the girl.
"Look at you. All cleaned up and pretty looking. Not one part of your clothes scream 'mess with me and die'"
"Thanks for telling her to come pick me up." ignoring the girl's comment
I told who to pick you up? "Uh, no problem!"
Assuming her friend was talking about her partner, Nao decided to ask questions about yesterday's sightings.
"So, she picked you up eh? You guys must really be getting along then."
"I suppose"
"Got to know each other better yesterday?"
"Yesterday?"
Looking over to see the red head's grin, Natsuki's eyes grew wide once more.
"You saw?"
Nao's grin grew wider. Bingo. There's no shame in lying to have fun
"Of course. Every single thing."
"..."
"I'll even bet that you enjoyed it."
Seeing Natsuki's attire, there's no way she can have a gun. However, she did see the raven haired beauty reach for the table's steak knife. Alert about the other girl's movements, Nao excused herself pretending to talk to her walkie talkie.
"Officer Nao, report to the surveillance tent immediately! Yes, sir!"
-
The ceremony went by without any flaws. It was time for the after wedding events. Natsuki sat at a table eating her cake wearing a glare that says 'don't you dare ask me to dance'. Successfully, said glare chased away anyone who would come her way with such intentions. Even Nao gets to wear her uniform. Why me?
-
Back at the surveillance tent, Shizuru sits across Haruka drinking tea.
"I do think it's your turn, Suzushiro-san."
Realizing she had been playing a game of Go with Shizuru, Haruka quickly turned to the other woman then down at the game board. With a quick glance back at the monitors, Haruka spotted Natsuki sitting and eating cake. Turning back to the woman sitting across from her, she began to ask questions.
"What do you think of your new partner?"
Stunningly beautiful
"And what's with that dress? She looks flashy."
I think she looks quite sexy.
"She doesn't look like a good partner."
I disagree, she is my partner after all.
Receiving no response from her, Haruka tried to wave her hand in front of the woman.
"Are you listening?"
"Yes."
"Why arn't you answering me?"
"I did answer you. You just never heard them."
Giving a quick glance at the monitors, Shizuru stood up and headed towards the exit.
"Please excuse me."
Forgetting about the woman that just walked out, Haruka turned to the one sitting in front of the monitors.
"Yukino, how are our surveillance cameras doing?"
"Quite well, no one has spotted them."
"Great! A few more hours and we're done."
-
Poking at the strawberry that was on her plate, Natsuki was still irritated about being one of 5 officers that were forced to get dressed. Unaware of the person that was now sitting next to her, she was startled.
"Ara, pouting again? Who is Natsuki trying to attract today?"
"What? I am not trying to attract anyone."
Happily sitting next to her partner, Shizuru also happily at her own slice of cake. Hmm, strawberry. Upon looking at Natsuki's plate, she saw the piece of strawberry that was not fortunate enough to escape the girl's fork stabbing moments.
"Will you not eat the strawberry?"
"Huh? No."
"May I have it?"
Nodding at the request, the strawberry was stabbed one last time and presented to Shizuru. Expecting the girl to just hand over the fork, Shizuru was surprised that Natsuki had brung the fruit in front of her mouth. Staring at Natsuki's bored expression, Shizuru just wondered Does she know what she's doing? Not one to pass up an opportunity, she took advantage content with the fact that Natsuki just fed her. Throwing the fork back at her plate, Natsuki continued to look around with the same bored expression.
"Thank you for the fruit."
Another nod from the raven haired girl. Still, Shizuru couldn't help but wonder.
"Natsuki is very kind. Sweet too as she just fed me."
"I fed you?"
"Yes."
"I did no such thing."
Bringing a hand up to her cheek, Shizuru smiled.
"Yes you did."
"Did not!" Did I?
Realizing that she's now questioning herself, Natsuki was not so sure anymore. Trying to recall her exact actions, she suddenly comes across a dead end after offering the piece of fruit to her partner. Once again, she tries think it through and again ends with a dead end. Looking over at Shizuru who was still smiling, Natsuki tried reasoning why she can't remember. Seconds later, I don't remember her taking the fork from my hand. Maybe... Struck with a realization that she might have indeed just fed her partner, she still couldn't figure out why she doesn't remember it happening. Again looking at the still smiling woman sitting next to her, Oh my god. I probably did.
"Is something wrong, Natsuki?"
"–No! Nothing at all!" Stupid epiphany. I hate you.
-
With the wedding finished, security was packing up the equipment. Natsuki was already waiting for her partner in front of the car for a ride home. Nao passed by carrying 2 security monitors, obviously helping with the packing.
"Hey Natsuki! Care to feed me strawberries too?"
"Shut up!" does nothing get by that woman?
-
The team arrived at Natsuki's apartment in silence. Opening the passenger side door, Natsuki made her way out the car.
"Thanks for the ride."
"Would you mind if I use your bathroom?"
"Sure."
Entering the apartment, Natsuki pointed the location of the bathroom and went to her room to change. Once in a simple pair of shorts and shirt, she made her way back to the living room awaiting for her partner to emerge from the bathroom. She's sure taking her time. Upon hearing a flush and the door unlocked, the woman in question walked out the room. Emerging out from the room with her hair now down and a bit messy as she tries to smooth it out with her hand.
"Thank you."
"No problem"
Walking her guest to the door, the doorbell rang. Who the hell could it be? Opening the door for Shizuru, she finds the one who rang the bell was the last person she wants to see.
"Natsuki, you left your cell phone in the security ten- eh..."
Looking at the woman standing behind her friend sporting a deshelved look, Nao's mind was gone with the wind.
"Hope I didn't interrupted anything."
Walking past Natsuki, Shizuru walked out the apartment.
"You did not interrupt anything, we were already finished. I will see you tomorrow, Natsuki."
Once the woman was away from earshot. Nao turned to her friend still holding out the cell phone.
"Finished? Finished with what? What'd you guys do?"
"We didn't do anything. We just got here a few moments ago."
"A few moments ago? But you're already in house clothes."
"I change fast."
"Right.."
Nao was grinning wider then the cheshire cat. Natsuki now obviously annoyed, snatched the cell phone away.
"Give me my phone. Go home!"
Slamming the door shut, Nao still grinned in front of it. Taking out her own cell phone, she dialed a number while walking towards the elevators. You better not be sleeping yet, Mai.
-
The next morning, Natsuki rushes out her apartment, walking to the police station instead of taking her motorcycle. Natsuki not taking her motorcycle? Surely there must be a good reason, indeed there is. Earlier that morning, Natsuki turned her apartment upside down searching for the pants that came with her uniform. Losing track of time, she suddenly realized that she was going to be late. With that, she opted to use the other piece of clothing that came with the uniform. The skirt. Which brings us to the reason why she's walking with such haste. Wearing spandex shorts underneath the skirt, she learned her lesson during her college years while walking over some subway grates. Ugh, never again! Wonder what happened to my pants. I could've sworn I left them in the bathroom yesterday.
Occupied with mentally locating her pants, Natsuki was oblivious to her surroundings. Left and right, there were people trying to sell her pirated videos. Wearing a jacket over her uniform, they weren't aware that Natsuki was a cop. Not soon after, the combination of wearing a skirt, wondering where her pants went to and the annoying sellers, pushed Natsuki to her limit. Removing her jacket and pulling up the skirt to her waist, revealing the shorts underneath, she was ready for a good chase. Drawing her gun she opened fire in the air.
"You all have 5 seconds to run away or it's hunting time!"
Looking at the sellers holding a pirated copy of some movie, Natsuki lowered her gun.
"5!"
Everyone broke in a sprint away from her. Satisfied with successfully terrifying those that have accosted her, Natsuki holstered her gun. Upon turning around to continue on her path to work, one of the sellers was unfazed. A left over? Am I losing my touch? Maybe I should've fired 2 shots and yelled louder.
"4!"
The guy standing in front of her dropped his bag of pirated goods and raised his hands at her awaiting to be cuffed.
Is this guy an idiot? Oh well, free arrest.
Walking to the station with the free arrest, Natsuki noticed that he wouldn't stop looking at her. I would so shock you if I had my taser. Clearing his throat, the free arrest started to speak.
"My name is Masashi Takeda. It's a pleasure to meet you."
