A/N: Okay, well I hope I posted this soon enough. I actually worked this chapter out with my onesama while in her living room. SO when I actually wrote it on my computer at my house...it made no sense what so ever. LOL
The warning I have for this chapter is there are a lot of POV jumps...even one I didn't even think of...thus the help of my onesama. Now if you - pauses - holy shit! there is a really bad storm. I must post now...I will edit later and have mini feed laters...such a bad storm.

- Ah, well the storm was just a scary loud thing. Yay! Okay I'm more than certain a GOOD majority of you have read this. So I'll leave it at that.
Disclaimer: I do not own Mai Hime. But wouldn't you like it if I had written some of their episodes. :p
Pieces
POV Natsuki
There was a strange silence in the car as we spend towards my apartment complex. Mai still had nice redness to her face from earlier in the evening. I cannot believe she interpreted the events that way. My body is terribly sore from that entire ordeal and to top things off Shizuru will not talk to me. She wouldn't even let me sit in the back of the car with her. Mai isn't talking to me either. Although I can understand why; Mai is angry at me for lying to her and there is the Reito thing. This is more than just fantastic.
How did I let this happen?
Flashback to Veranda
The door leading into the ball room flung open and there was Reito with the sounds of shouting guards behind. His eyes were filled with maddening jealousy as he charged forward at me and Shizuru. I could only think of protecting Shizuru; nothing else mattered to me. I pushed Shizuru away from my body right as Reito crashed into me sending us over the railing. The veranda over looked what was the palace garden which now was untended with thick monstrous brier patches everywhere. As we went over the railing Reito had the advantage of using my body as shield against the thorny mess that we fell through. The brier's thorns were old and strong as I felt them pierce through my mess dress tearing pieces of it to shreds. The fall must have been only six feet as we smacked against the ground. I felt the wind exit my lungs as my body surged with pain from impacting the ground. I opened my eyes, but too late to react as I felt a kick against my stomach follow by sadistic laugh. I could move as I cradled my stomach. I felt a foot against my shoulder and all of a sudden I found myself on my back. My eyes opened again; Reito's eyes were gleaming over my body so I looked down to see my mess dress was more torn than what I had released. Reito came at me as I laid there, still unable to move. He placed a knee firmly between my legs and smiled.
"So, Natsuki how does it feel to have a man on top again? I remembered that's how you liked it." Reito said through his teeth. "Oh look a thorn is on your arm…" he said in a sing song voice "let me help." Reito finish in a darker tone as squeezed his hand around the thorn forcing it into my arm.
I screamed as I felt the inch long thorn slowly pierce through my skin. Reito just smiled and ran his fingers to a damaged section of my pants and touched exposed skin.
"So doesn't feel good to have a man penetrate you again. It's so much better than a woman, wouldn't you agree Natsuki." Reito mused as he squeezed his hand over the thorn some more.
I gritted my teeth and looked him in the as I shifted one leg for leverage. "No wonder I'm with a woman, you asshole. I wouldn't call that penetration anyways!" I said through the pain. Reito's eyes went wide and became madder than before making him loss focus. I kicked my other leg up in between his legs racking him about as hard as I could sending him flying over face first into another brier patch.
"You god damn bitch!" Reito moaned as he emerged from the brier patch with just a few cuts. I quickly stood as he charged right back me. This time I'm ready for him. I grabbed one of his arms and sent him flying over me. I watched as he hit the ground and slowly stood again.
"You're going to pay for ruining my last peaceful evening Reito." I growled. "And you're going to pay for damaging my UNIFORM!" I said as I charged towards Reito jump kicking as he got his bearings.
POV Mai Tokiha
The gala was marvelously flawed in my opinion. There is nothing here to create a good story. The foreign delegates are missing, the president never shows up, and the guest of honor is no where to be found. I'm very disappointed in this gala. I looked across the ball room to see, a ghost! No, Shizuru Fujino is alive! Natsuki Kuga, what are you up to? Lying to me like that. Where is she going and with those guards? It looks like she is heading outside. This seems like a good chance to go and get something for a story. Mystery columnist found alive venture forth into the unknown. Yes this is good stuff. Time to get the dirt on it too. I'll get outside before Shizuru.
POV Natsuki Kuga
The fight was really a dominance play now. I had pretty much proven to him that I was the better fighter despite the thorn in my arm. I was enjoying every last moment of this fight. Reito tried one last feeble attack. I dodged it with no problem. With one swift sweep kick I got Reito on back.
"Hmmm, I want to hear you scream you bastard." I said as I walked over to his legs and furiously stomped on his left knee. Reito let out a blood curdling scream as I finished off his right knee. There was sick satisfied grin on my face as walked over him and straddled his hips so I could continue. I smashed my fists against face in slow beating rhythm taking each blow personally. My thoughts drifted to the men who constantly violated Shizuru as my swings became more violent.
POV Mai Tokiha
As I was drawing closer around the outside I heard some heavy grunt and moaning from the garden. This is what my periodicals need. I wonder what high ranking officer it could be or better yet a diplomat. I quickly ran around the corner to be greeted by a thicket. I looked through the thicket only to see someone familiar. Natsuki! She's on top of someone and she's breathing heavy. I knew Natsuki got freaky when drunk but her military life must be pushing her buttons hard if she's doing this at a diplomatic function. I walked to a clearing as quietly as I could to see Natsuki and the fellow she was mounted on better. As I approached the clearing I heard people to the right me. I was too flabbergasted to look, but I was certain it was Shizuru and those guards. I could not help but gawk at Natsuki as sat there.
"So how does it feel now Reito?" Natsuki panted as reached behind her touching Reito's leg. He made a rather odd groan. It sounded more painful than it did pleasurable. There is someone right by me now.
POV Shizuru Fujino
I slowly approached seeing Mai Tokiha who was trapped in shocked gaze. I hear Natsuki's voice, just barely. As I walked beside Tokiha I watched Natsuki grab Reito's leg and heard him groan. She must have broken his knees by stomping on them that what I would have done. What is this body language I see? Natsuki are you? No.
"Mmmm, yes, this is the only way I like a man now Reito. Scream." Natsuki purred after she licked her lips.
"Natsuki!" I said with absolute shock.
POV Natsuki Kuga
My head shot around as I saw Shizuru standing there one hand still clenched on the throat of my victim.
Flashback End. return to car ride
"Mai I want to thank you for offering us a ride home." I said in my low voice.
Mai glared at me. "I offered Shizuru the ride. I didn't know you two had moved in with each other. I mean after all isn't she suppose to be dead!" Mai, you don't know the half of it. I sighed as I opened Shizuru's door and was promptly met with a cold shoulder and had a metallic object shoved into my chest as Shizuru exited the back of the car. I shut the front passenger's door and Mai drove off as fast as she could not even waiting for me to back up from the car. My arm still throbbed from the thorn that remained inside. I should have mentioned that maybe I would have gotten some sympathy; maybe not.
Shizuru left the apartment door wide open as I slowly walked in and was pulled into an argument.
"God damn Natsuki! What the hell did you do that for?" Shizuru yelled.
"What do you mean, protecting myself from a jealous ex?" I retorted.
"No! You could have said something. That you survived the fall!" Shizuru continued.
"You know Shizuru I was fighting for my life. The bastard wanted to rape me! How can you be like that?!"
"Don't give me that bullshit Natsuki! You were straddling his hips and MOANING." Shizuru yelled.
I couldn't respond. She was right. I was doing that. Shizuru walked towards me with her angry face.
"You selfish bitch!" Shizuru said slapping me and walked away to the bedroom. I rubbed my face and shut the door behind me.
