Chapter 3-

"Wake up Natsuki! Ten minutes more till class starts!" Mai shouted out.

"WHAT!" Natsuki was wide awake. "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP SOO…" Laughter could be heard through out the room. Mai, Chie and Nao were laughing hysterically, each clenching their own stomach. Nao was kneeling down at the door trying not to die from laughther.

"Priceless I tell ya" Nao manage to scoff out

"ner…what the.." Natsuki was confused, ten minutes untill class and their laughing? Aoi pointed to her watch, Natsuki got what she meant and instantly look at the clock hung on the wall. Natsuki was boiling mad , she got tricked. There was still an hour left till class.

Natsuki opened the drawer next to her and took out a GUN? It was a custom made gun she inheritted when her parents died along with their apartment and wealth. It was mainly silver and blue with a hint of black. It was the perfect gun for Natsuki one might say. She aimed it towards her friends threatening to shoot if they won't get out of the room now.

Mai, Chie and Nao had done it now, "C-Chill N-Natsuki." Mai was brave enough to say. "W-We'll be waiting outside if you need us." Chie added on. Before you know it the three life threatened girls had vanished outside with Mikoto and Aoi following them. I will make Mai, Chie and especially Nao will regret ever knowing me. But for now I'll take a quick shower.

Natsuki went in the bathroom and took a quick shower before changing into her uniform, still not bothering about wearing her Fuka coat nor buttoning up the top two buttons.

She met up with the others outside, sending Mai, Chie and Nao a couple of her glares along the way to the cafeteria. They sat at the same place they had yesterday. Breakfast was a buffet, Mikoto was the one to go and grab some food with Mai chasing after the shorter girl.

Just as Natsuki was about to get some food, "You! Blue hair kid, Stop right there!" What me? Natsuki turned only to see…Er if I remembered correctly she's Haruka Suzushiro, the one that keeps messing up her words and keeps shouting but what would she want with me?

"What is the cleaning of this?" Haruka shouted towards Natsuki.

Cleaning? I think she meant.. "Meaning Haruka-chan." As though on cue Yukino appeared and corrected Haruka's mistake.

"That's what I said!" Haruka shouted back.

"And of what exactly?" Natsuki said impaitiently, she was hungry and didn't want to wait any longer.

"Well for starters, not wearing the Fuka coat and leaving your top two muttons undone." Haruka said displease of the nerve of Natsuki.

"Button Haruka-chan" Yukino corrected Haruk yet again.

"That's what I said! Geez Yukino." Haruka replied not taking her eyes off Natsuki.

"And what have you have to say for yourself? Miss?" Haruka asked the younger girl.

"Kuga Natsuki and what I do have to say is would you mind getting out of my way?" Natsuki was relly getting impatient.

That was the last straw never had anyone got the nerve to talk to her like that, Haruka was fuming with anger. "THAT'S IT YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!" Haruka blasted at the disrespectful deliquent. She pulled Natsuki's ear and dragged her away. Natsuki was trying to break free but failed, Haruka's strength was just too great. What is she? Superwomen? She's gonna pull my ear off! Not that Natsuki had a choice she got dragged by Haruka to the Student Council Room.

Shizuru walked in at the last moment and saw that Haruka was draggind her new intrest away. Ara it was about time Haruka-san notice Natsuki's..way of dressing. I best rescue Natsuki from Haruka-san. Shizuru walked at her usual pace and followed them, she didn't bother catching up with them as she already knew where Haruka was heading and she doesn't like to be rushed.

At the Student Council Room……

Natsuki's eyes roamed the room seeing as how it was bigger than her dorm room. Wow…. There was a small kitchen at the back of the room, three desk, the desk in the middle was larger than the other two.

"Haruka-san who might you have caught today?" asked Reito whose currently sitting at a chair behind the desk at the right.

Haruka pulled Natsuki and made her sit in a chair in front of her own desk at the left. "Just another deliquent." Haruka sat on her desk eyes focused on Natsuki.

"Now, now Haruka. Lets listen to what she has to say." Reito said ever so polietly.

"Don't give me that 'Now, now' peach of yours!" Haruka shouted back.

"It's Speech Haruka-chan." Yukino stood next to Haruka.

"That's what I said!"

"Ara ara, lively as always Haruka-san?" Shizuru stepped in sitting down at her own desk.

"What do you want bubuzuke onna, I'm busy right now so go drink tea or something." Haruka said.

"Ara, Reito I you would ever be so kind?" Shizuru asked facing Reito. He simply nodded and went to make some tea.

"Now, whatever could Natsuki do to have Haruka-san so mad?" Shizuru asked even though she clearly knew why Natsuki was in here.

"Are you blind women? Can't you see your little pup here's breaking the dresscode." Haruka stated.

"Ara it seems so." Shizuru nodded to Reito as he placed her cup of tea down.

Shizure stared at Natsuki, causing the younger girl to turn her head away. "Haruka-san would you allow me to take care of this personally? I feel like I should at least bear some responsibility." Shizuru smiled at Haruka.

"It's about time you stop drinking tea and start doing things seriously!" Haruka got up ad pulled Natsuki towards Shizuru. "Here she's all yours."

"And would you be so kind as to leave us alone?" Shizuru asked politely. WHAT! Alone with Shizuru! Nononononono, don't leave me! Natsuki paniced as she was going to be alone with Shizuru. Reito nodded and left with Haruka and Yukino.

"Please take a seat Natsuki," Shizuru said before taking a sip of her greentea. Natsuki complied and took a seat in one of those chairs infront of Shizuru's desk.

"So what now? Your gonna make me change my uniform?" Natsuki asked.

"Ara whenever did I say Natsuki has to change?" Shizuru leaned forward a bit.

"Huh? For real!? I don't have to change?" Natsuki brightened up with the thought that she wouldn't get reprimanded for the way she dress.

"Yes, however there is one condition," said Shizuru who is now smirking.

Somehow I knew it would be too good to be true. "What do you want me to do?" Natsuki crossed her arms, looking at Shizuru.

"As you may know my class and Natsuki's class are having combat together and thus I would like Natsuki to become my partner." Shizuru staring at Natsuki as she waited for her respond.

"Partner? For what?" Natsuki not knowing what Shizuru could have meant.

"Ara trust Natsuki to not pay attention, as mentioned by Ms mashiro, second years are surpose to be assigned to teach a first year during combat." Shizuru took another sip of her tea.

"You? Teach me combat?" The thought of Shizuru fighting was hard to believe.

"Ara, does Natsuki think I can't fight? I'll have you know i'm best in my class." Shizuru said with a hardly visible pout on her face.

"It's just that the thought of you an ojou-sama fighting is hard to believe." Natsuki said not meaning to offend Shizuru.

"Ara, so Natsuki finally figured out who I am? I guess I couldn't really hide it forever even from Natsuki." Shizuru chuckled a bit.

"HEY! What does that surpose to mean?" Natsuki said with a pout on her face.

"Ara, Natsuki looks so cute." Shizuru turned into her teasing self.

"I am not cute. Hmpf." Natsuki turned her head away, closing her eyes refusing to look at Shizuru.

Shizuru couldn't help but to chuckle even more. Natsuki open one eye to look at Shizuru, "Ne Shizuru, why did you attend a spy school?"

"It is like a tradition. Although we do have bodyguards but my ancestor wanted the future fujinos to be able to be more prepared and for us to be able to defend ourselves even without bodyguards. One might say its for self-defence." Shizuru explained to Natsuki.

"Oh. Man Shizuru you came from a very complicated family." Natsuki was unconsiously turning to face Shizuru.

"Ara so it seems. Now will Natsuki accept my offer?" Shizuru changed the subject.

"It's not like I have a choice so I might as well accept." Natsuki replied with a faint smile.

"Ara, how wonderful." Shizuru found herself staring into those emerald orbs. She slowly raised a hand and touched Natsuki's cheek.

Natsuki felt the sudden skin contact, a faint blush could be seen as Shizuru caressed her cheek. She looked up to Shizuru and sound herself absorbed into her crimson eyes. Those two stood that way, neither moved an inch. Her fingers…their warm… Natsuki found herself enjoying Shizuru's contact.

BANG! Haruka came bursting into the room.

Natsuki immediately backed away and so did Shizuru. Natsuki went redder at the realisation of what Shizuru was doing. "Let me go Yukino! They have been in here long enough!" Haruka shouted out.

"Ara Haruka-san, kanin na for waiting. Natsuki you may go now." Shizuru smiled towards the younger girl.

Natsuki nodded and walked out of the room. What just happened back there? Shizuru…she..k. Natsuki was too caught up in her own thoughts to have realised she had just entered the cafeteria.

"NATSUKI!" Natsuki was snapped out of her thoughts as she saw Mai running towards her. "I heard everything from Chie did you get punished?"

"Nope actually i don't have to change." Natsuki said cooly, she went to grab a sandwhich and spreaded mayonaise on it.

"But how?" Mai asked as she followed Natsuki.

"I made a deal with Shizuru." Natsuki replied, she sat at her seat and begun eating her sandwhich.

"And that is?" Chie popped in and asked.

"I become her partner during combat," Natsuki replied.

Mai, Chie, Nao and Aoi stared at Natsuki. "You are one lucky mutt." Nao pointed her finger at Natsuki.

"Just cause she's best in her class?" Natsuki had just finished her sandwhich.

"In her class? Try the whole school." Chie pointed out.

What else is there that I don't know about her.Before the Natsuki could talk back the bell rang. "Alright first up Math." Mai said cheerily. How can she get excited for maths?

Maths……….

The tables were arranged in pairs. Natsuki took a seat next to Nao not that she has a choice, Mai next to Mikoto and Chie next to Aoi.

"Alright class, I am Yukariko Sanada and I will be your homeroom teacher for this year. Now what says we start off by introducing ourselves." Yukariko stood behind the teahcers desk.

One by one the students introduced themsleves… It was Natsuki's turn she stood up, "Natsuki Kuga, don't mess with me unless you wanna die." Other than her friends and some others the whole class was stunned by Natsuki. Upon seeing the look on their faces she smirked and sat down, looking at Nao.

Nao simply smirked back and stood up "I guess it's my turn huh. Nao Yuuki, like the mutt said stay outta my way if ya don't wanna die." Nao said with an even eviler smirk on her face.

Next up was a blonde, she was short for her age, "Alyssa Searrs, pleasure to meet you." Is that kid really a first year? Natsuki shrugged

It took another fifteen minutes before the whole class was finished. Now maths has officially started. Natsuki was of course not paying attention so was Nao in fact they were competing against each other in a car racing game with their cellphones. Chie and Aoi were talking about gossips and that leaves Mai and Mikoto being the only ones paying attention.

Science and Japanese was taught by Yukariko. 11.30 a.m., Japanese was their last class before lunch and it has just ended. The six friends walked together to the cafeteria. "Told you that you can't beat me!" Natsuki proudly told Nao. "Shut up mutt, you just won cause you got more experience than me." Nao crossed her arms and looked away. Natsuki simply smirked. "I can't believe you guys were playing that game through out the entire lesson." Mai said. "It's not like I'd pay attention anyway." Natsuki now walking into the cafeteria.

She saw Shizuru and the student council sitted at the table next to theirs. Shizuru noticed Natsuki had just walked in, she glanced up to look at the raven beuaty. Natsuki gave Shizuru a small nod before going to fill her plate.

Looking down at her plate, Shizuru found an excuse to meet her new partner. "Excuse me," Shizuru said politely as she got off her seat. Reito nodded while Haruka muttered something out.

Shizuru snuck up behind the younger girl and blew into her ear causing her to tense up.

Natsuki turned around and saw Shizuru's face no more than a mere five centimetre away. Natsuki couldn't help blushing as she notied how close they were. "Ara, is Natsuki so prone to blushing or do I have that prilvilege?" Shizuru teased Natsuki. "Baka!" Natsuki shouted back and turn her back against Shizuru. Just then a first year came to Shizuru. "Good day Shizuru-sama." She bowed with her face flushed. "Ara, good day," Shizuru smiled at the younger girl causing her to blush even more. The girl quickly wallked away afriaid of fainting if she spent another second near Shizuru.

Shizuru turned her attention back to Natsuki who is now filling up her plate with food. "So how did you convince Suzushiro-san?" Natsuki asked not bothering to face Shizuru. "Ara, I simply told her Natsuki has a very special illness." Shizuru replied whilst filling her plate with some salad. "Illness? Well whatever as long as I can keep dressing like this, I don't really care what sort of illness you told her." Natsuki turned her head slightly to look at Shizuru. "And Natsuki, was class enjoyable for you?" Shizuru asked hiding her smirk. "I guess so, why?" Natsuki raised a brow and asked. "Well it seems that Natsuki was really enjoying her little game with yuuki-san does she not?" A smirk appeared. "H-How did you know that!" Natsuki exclaimed. "I know everything about my beloved Natsuki." Shizuru sent Natsuki a playful wink. Natsuki could felt heat rising to her cheek when she heard the words 'my' and 'beloved'. Of course Shizuru only knew as she just happened to walk pass Natsuki's class.

Shizuru suddenly lost her smirk when she saw Natsuki adding to her plate of what seems to be a mini mountain of Mayonaise. "Shizuru what's wrong?" Natsuki asked worriedly as she saw the look on Shizuru's face. "Natsuki has quite a diet." Shizuru replied as she regain her calm posture. Natsuki looked down at her plate and back to Shizuru "But mayonaise is good." Natsuki held her plate a little closer to Shizuru. "Ara, some people might find it rather.....unhealthy." Shizuru tried to put it politely. Natsuki pulled back her plate "Oh…" "But seeing as how Natsuki keeps her figure, it is accceptable" Shizuru added on.

Natsuki brightened but it took her no longer to noticed Shizuru mentioned about her figure. A light blush crept up her cheeks.

Meanwhile at Natsuki's table…..

"They sure are taking their time."Chie said to Aoi. Aoi simply nodded. Those two had found a common intrest, both of them are intrested in gossip and creating them.

Natsuki and Shizuru parted ways as they returned to their own table. Shizuru would occasionally glance over to Natsuki and Natsuki would try to not notice. Shizuru was the first to finish, while walking to deposit her plate she passed by Natsuki's table and gentle brushed her fingers against back. She didn't have to look in order to know that Natsuki was already blushing. A satisfied smile formed on he lips.

Natsuki felt Shizuru's little gimmick. A blush crept up her face, damn it! All she did was touch me a little and I'm already blushing! Natsuki lowered her head not wanting any of her friends to notice her blush.

Lunch was over and it was now weaponary, Natsuki and her friends were the first to arrive in class. Not even the teacher was there yet. That room was different than the rest of the classrooms, there was no tables nor chairs only a few other doors. The floors were made of wood and walls were painted red and white. It gave off a noble feel.

"Hey isin't that Alyassa-san?" Chie pointed towards the door. Everyone turned their heads to look. "It looks like she's talking to another person." The other person now became visible to them as she stepped closer to the door. She was a taller girl with light blue hair and pale skin complex. "Isn't that Miyu sempai?" Aoi said. "You know her?" Mai asked. "We met once." Aoi replied.

As they were at the further end of the almost empty room, Miyu and Alyssa didn't notice somebody else was there. Miyu leaned down to the younger girl, pecked her on the cheek and vanished just like a ninja.

Natsuki and her friends stared, not believing their eyes. "Did they.." Mai managed to say out. The rest simply nodded. They wanted to turn away and pretend they didn't see it but it was too late Alyssa had walked into the room. Silence filled the room, Alyssa was the one who broke the silence. A blush could be seened on her face as she spoke, "I surpose you saw that.." Alyssa bowed her clearly embarrassed being caught in the act.

"It's okay Alyssa-san we're not gonna tell anyone." Mai reassured the shorter girl. "Really?" Alyssa looked up slightly to ask. "Uh-huh." Mai gave her best reassuring smile. The others too gave a small nod. "But do you not feel uneasy?" Alyssa asked now looking at the six girls who are standing infront of her. "Actually we deal with it all the time." Mai said looking at Chie whose now waving at Alyssa.

Before they could say anything else students started pouring into the class. Soon all the students and the teacher had arrived. "Alright class please gather here," said a women in her twenties wearing a labcoat. The students did as they were told, Alyssa gave a small nod before dissapearing into the crowd. "I am Youko and I would be teaching you weaponary this year. We'll be starting with the basics, holding a gun and your positions."

Natsuki smirked, this is gonna be easy. Natsuki clearly had the advantage with her years of experience with guns. "First everyone grab one of these. Don't worry these are fake guns but are made to feel and weigh like a real one." Youko told them. One by one the students grab one of the fake guns. After all the students had taken one each, "Alright now follow the way I'm holding it and stay that way I'll be going around to correct you." Youko positioned her hand on her gun, she allowed her self to face the side to let the students have a better view. Once she saw all the students ready she started going around.

"I must say Kuga-san your grip and stance is very impressive, not many students could do it like you. Keep up the good work." Youko commented on Natsuki before moving on to the next student.

"Alright you can stop now. Now I'll be teaching you how to detach and attach a gun." Youko said to the class. She demonstrated a couple of times, "I want you to practice on your own until the end of class." She went around helping the students in need. Natsuki of course didn't have any problems but her friends on the other hand were completely lost. She had to teach them over and over for the next forty minutes.

"Okay, deposit you guns here and you may go to your next class." Youko announced. As intructed the students placed the guns back and went off to their next class.

Spy code 101……

"Welcome to Spy Code 101, I am Maria Graceburt you will address me as Miss Maria," a strict looking women with grey hair said. An old hag? Oh boy.... I had enough of those in middle school. "Today I will be teaching you the proper ways of disguising oneself." Natsuki flinch at the word disguise, disguises only lead to one thing……weird costumes.. And true enough spies sometimes have to wear certain outfits to approach their subject.

"I want you to pair up, on each of those tables there will be a number of outfits but they are all mixed together. I want each pair to sought it out. Now go." Miss Maria said in her stern voice.

Natsuki got paired with Nao, not that she had much of a choice. Mikoto wouldn't let go of Mai, Chie's with Aoi and that leaves her with Nao. "Oi spider any idea?" Natsuki looked at the pile of clothes infront of them. "How should I know mutt. I don't do cosplay." Nao replied with her arms crossed. "Argh, now what are we surpose to do?" Natsuki asked clearly having a hard time.

After what seems like an eternity they finally got one right, a sailor uniform. "What is the meaning of this?" asked Miss Maria appearring out of no where. Natsuki and Nao frozed, they slowly turned around to find Miss Maria behind them. How the… Natsuki saw the look on Miss Maria's face, it sent shivers down her spine. "What we're you two doing this whole time?" Miss Maria asked, her voice had a deadly undertone to it. "Doing what you told us to do." Nao replied. "And this is all you managed to sought out?" Miss Maria asked, her green eyes piercing through them. "Y-Yes." Nao again replied but this time with a little more hesitation. "You two write an two thousand word essay on the responsiblities of a spy, due Friday." With that being said Miss Maria left. "Great homework," Natsuki said. "What the hell am I surpose to write for that?" Natsuki asked. "How the hell should I know, this is all your fault mutt." Nao replied to Natsuki. "Shut it spider!" Natsuki hissed back. Those to engaged into a glaring contest but was soon interuptted by their friends. "Alright, alright, break it up you guys." Mai said whilst pushing both of them away from the other. Both of them croosed their arms and turned away.

"Alright, place the clothing back on the table and you may proceed to your next class." said Miss Maria. Natsuki and Nao threw everything back to the table and met up with their friends.

"Alright next up combat." Mai announced. Natsuki got to admit she was a little nervous, especially when Shizuru was going to be her partner.

They went into the girls locker room to change into their Fuka sports attire. It was a white and black shirt with a black shorts. Natsuki went to her locker, opposite her was Shizuru.

Shizuru saw Natsuki entering the room, she smiled to the younger girl before unbutonning her shirt. Natsuki could feel her heart racing as she saw the baeuty stripping before her eyes. Damn why am I feeling this way. S..Shizuru she…. Natsuki tried to tear her gaze from Shizuru but her eyes wouldn't work with her.

Shizuru noticed Natsuki was looking at her, ara maybe I should give Natsuki a better view. Shizuru turned, giving Natsuki full acess to her bra covered breast.

Natsuki could feel heat rushing through her cheeks, She could now perfectly see Shizuru's bra covered breast. I'm gonna have a nosebleed if this carries on. Natsuki was finally able to turn herself around just before Shizuru pulled the zip on her skirt. Natsuki breathe in deeply, trying to surpass the blush that had rosen to her face. She uncounsiously started unbuttoning her own shirt.

Ara I wonder if Natsuki liked my special service. Shizuru had finished wearing her clothes, it was then she noticed Natsuki had started removing her own. Shizuru took a seat on the bench infront of her, as she watched the raven beauty. Her skin was pale and milky, muscular yet femaine shoulders, Na..Natsuki…Shizuru could hear her heart pounding. Natsuki let her shirt fall to the ground as she continued with unzipping her skirt. Shizuru couldn't take it anymore, if Natsuki were to show her any more skin than she has already had she might lose it. Shizuru quickly folded her clothes and placed all it into her locker. She quickly left the room, careful as to not look at Natsuki on her way out.

Natsuki heard the door open, she turned to look and saw Shizuru leaving. Shizuru? Natsuki had just realised she had been stripping in the presence of Shizuru. The blush Natsuki had just surpassed came back quicker than a blink of an eye. "Hey Mai is Natsuki okay?" Mikoto asked, concern about Natsuki. "Natsuki are you okay? Your all red." Mai worriedly asked. "I'm fine it's just hot in here," Natsuki lied. Mai simply nodded and continued changing.

Natsuki walked out of the room and saw Shizuru at the other side with the room, together with the other second years. Natsuki took her seat with her friends. "I'm Midori you can call me Midori-chan and I'll be teaching you combat. Well the second years will be teaching the first year but you get my point. Oh yes by the way I'm only seventeen," said a red headed girl in her track suit. Is this women really gonna be our teacher? Natsuki stared at her in disbelief.

"Now lets have the second years demonstrate, who wants to volunteer?" Midori said whilst pointing at the second years. Haruka was the only one who stood up. "Very well Suzushiro-san, any one else? Come on don't be shy. Fine Suzushiro-san you may choose anyone you want." Midori said. Finally! I can beat that bubuzuke onna infront of everyone else! Haruka wasted no time in pointing to Shizuru. "Ara me? I'm honoured." Shizuru gracefully stood up and went to the front. Shizuru's fangirls were squealing, excited to see Shizuru sparring. Shizuru sent them a wink, the word 'kyaaa' could be heard. "Alright Fujino try not to flirt so much I don't want to have fainting girls in my class." Midori said as she stood beside Shizuru. "Ara, whatever could you mean?" Shizuru asked with her innoent face. Midori simply rolled her eyes.

Shizuru and Haruka stood face to face. Haruka had a smirk on her face while Shizuru simply stood there. "Try not to send the poor girl to the hospital." Midori told Shizuru before walking away. Shizuru chuckled before getting into her battle position. Haruka did the same. "Alright you may start now!" Midori shouted out.

Shizuru allowed Haruka to make the first move, Haruka wasted no time to charge at Shizuru which was a bad choice. Haruka sent a high kick, Shizuru dodged it easily. Haruka tried a mid kick, with full power, which Shizuru blocked with both her hands. Shizuru swept Haruka's leg before she could stable herself casuing her to fall backwards. Haruka turned slightly to the side preventing her from full impact. Haruka noticed that Shizuru was going easy on her, she decided to use punches this time. Haruka was well known for her deadly superhuman punches, even Shizuru might have difficulties fighting back using only her defend. Haruka charged at Shizuru, this time Shizuru had no choice but to attack back. She dodged her first punch by squating down, she turned to her side before Haruka could attack again and kicked to Haruaka's stomach, the impact was too great and sent Haruka flying to the wall. Luckily for Haruka the walls were cushioned.

"Ara was that too much?" Shizuru asked while straightening out her shirt. Applaus and girls shouting "Shizuru-sama!" filled the room. Yukino went to check on her unconsious friend. "Yukino-san would you mind taking Suzushiro-san to the infirmary?" Midori asked. Yukino nodded, "At least you took it easy, kinda." Midori said whilst looking at the unconsious girl. Shizuru chuckled before returning to her seat.

Natsuki eyes stared wide open.I got to remember to never make her mad. Natsuki gaze towards Shizuru's direction, some of the girls from her class were seen crowding around Shizuru, hoping Shizuru would accept their towels and water not that Shizuru needed. She's like the most popular person in school, why would she choose me of all the other girls to become her partner? Natsuki found herself staring at Shizuru.

"Alright! You too will be able to fight like them at the end of this year. Well maybe not like Fujino over there." Midori said as she pointed to Shizuru. "Now I want you to find your own partner. After that line up here and I wil assign you a spot . After everyone has been assigned one, I will then tell you what to do" Midori comandded. Natsuki went to find Shizuru, it wasn't really hard, a crowd of girls gathered around in one corner and they were shouting 'Shizuru-sama' Natsuki decided to wait at one side until Shizuru made her way out. "Shizuru-sama, please pick me as your partner." an unknown girl asked. "No Shizuru-sama pick me!" Another unknown girl said. "No me!" and so on. "I'm sorry everyone. I have already promised myself to another." Shizuru apologized kindly and made her way through the crowd. The girls were now whispering about who stole their 'Shizuru-sama'.

Shizuru found Natsuki just beside the crowd and walked to her. "Shall we?" Shizuru asked Natsuki. Natsuki nodded at followed her. "You sure its okay for you to do that? I mean wouldn't they be upset that their prescious 'Shizuru-sama' got stolen by me?" Natsuki asked. "Ara, I'm sure they will understand and I could think of no other to choose than Natsuki." Shizuru sent a playful wink to Natsuki. Natsuki blush slightly and turned her head away. They went up to Midori, "Hmm Fujino and Kuga? Intresting, Kuga you are one lucky or should I say unlucky dog." Midori smirked and said while writing something on a piece of paper. Natsuki looked at Midori wanting to know what she meant but she found no respond from her teacher.

"Alright your spot would be at the last rectangle their now go back to your respective seats and wait till I give instructions." Midori told them not bothered looking up. Shizuru and Natsuki did as they were told and went back to their respective seats. After all the other pairs had been assigned their spots, "Alright I want the second years to teach the first years the battle poses and defends. You may go now."Midori told the classes. Natsuki went to find Shizuru and went to their assigned spot.

"Hey Shizuru why are we so far away from the others?" Natsuki asked as she looked around. "I do not know Natsuki." Shizuru replied. "Now shall we start?" Shizuru asked. Natsuki nodded. "Show me your battle pose." Shizuru told Natsuki. Natsuki complied and got into her battle pose. "Ara Natsuki needs to straighten out this leg more." Shizuru said as she bent down to help Natsuki straighten out her leg. Shizuru purposly glidded her hand from Natsuki's thigh to her ankle. Ara, such smooth skin. Natsuki could feel Shizuru's hand travelling from her thigh to her ankle. A blush rose up again, come on! She's just helping me with my pose! Nothing else! "Now try bending a little lower and spread your legs widder." Shizuru told Natsuki again. D..Did she just told me t..to spread my legs ? BAKA! BAKA! She's didn't mean it that way! Natuki shook off her thoughts and did as she was told. She turned her head away as she didn't want Shizuru to see her blushing face. Ara Natsuki? Oh my I didn't meant it that way. Shizuru realized what she had just said but it was too late to take it back. "Is this okay Shizuru?" Natsuki asked after managing to get rid of her blush. "Y..Yes Natsuki. It's fine." Shizuru replied. I'm glad she didn't misunderstand. "As Natsuki saw in my battle with Haruka-san to block an opponent's mid kick Natsuki must use both hands to stop it but Natsuki must remember to move a little to the side. Another way is to use your shin to counter it. Natsuki will attack me and I will demonstrate it." Shizuru told Natsuki. "But I don't want to hurt you." Natsuki replied. "Ara rest assure Natsuki would not hurt me." Shizuru smiled as she got ready. "Alright if you say so." Natsuki kicked Shizuru but for some reason Shizuru didn't block it. The kick hitted Shizuru's stomach but Shizuru didn't flinch a bit. "Shizuru! Are you okay I didn't mean to hurt you." Natsuki asked worriedly. "Ara as you can see I'm completely fine. As to why I didn't block Natsuki's kick is because Natsuki isn't putting an effort to her kick and that level of attack wouldn't affect me." Shizuru replied calmly yet somewhat strict. That level of attack? I took out a guy with that kick! Natsuki stared in disbelief. Natsuki got ready again and this time kicked Shizuru with full strenght, Shizuru was caught off guard but still managed to block it, She used her own shin to block Natsuki's attack. "Good Natsuki." Shizuru complimented her before putting her leg down.

"Now I will try to attack Natsuki and Natsuki will try to block it using your hands" Shizuru said. Natsuki backed away a bit remembering how Shizuru sent Haruka flying, Shizuru noticed Natsuki's troubled look and chuckled a bit. "Ara do not be afriad Natsuki I will not hurt you." Shizuru reassured the younger girl. Natsuki nodded and got ready, Shizuru kicked carefully preparing to stop if Natsuki failed to block it. Natsuki did as she was told, she took a step to the side and pressed her two hand to stop Shizuru's kick. "Shizuru got her leg down and smiled, "Very well Natsuki, We'll continue doing this and while at it I will increase my speed and power." S hizuru said while she got ready again. Natsuki nodded. After doing it for a fifteen minutes Shizuru spoke up " Now try countering it with your shin." Natsuki nodded and did as she was instructed. She found it more tiring to counter with her shin but it was more effective. After another fifteen minutes Natsuki was out of breathe and her legs were sore. She looked at Shizuru and found her completely fine. Is she even human? "Ara?" Shizuru said as she found Natsuki staring at her face. "Shizuru, are you even human?" Natsuki asked while catching her breathe. "Ara, I am whatever Natsuki wants me to be." Shizuru winked at Natsuki. Natsuki would've blushed but her face was already flushed. "Alright class! We're done for today you may continue tomorrow!" Midori shouted out. Shizuru wanted to walk together with Natsuki to the locker room but was surrounded by her fangirls. Natsuki saw Shizuru's crowd and decided to go first. She saw her friends changing, "so who did you guys get stuck with?" Natsuki asked while changing her own clothes. "I couldn't find anyone so I got stuck with Suzushiro sempai." Mai said. "I got Yukino sempai." Mikoto jumped onto Mai and said. "I'm stuck with some girl name Tomoe." Nao replied. "I got Anh sempai." said Chie. "I'm with Sarah sempai." Aoi was the last to say.

"So had fun with Shizuru sempai?" Chie asked cheekily. "Don't remind me. I doubt that girl is even human. I mean she doesn't get tired!" Natsuki said. Natsuki quickly changed into her uniform and left telling her friends she had something to do. Natsuki wanted to walk around the school, wanting to find a hiding spot in case she wanted to skip shool. Natsuki wandered around the school but stopped when she saw a staircase between two doors. She walked up the staircase leading to a door. She pushed the handle of the door finding it unlocked. She opened the door and took a step in. She was at the rooftop, it was a baeutiful scenery, there were a couple of chairs and tables. She could see the neighbourhood from up there but never did she know she wasn't alone. Natsuki felt two hands pulling her into an embrace from behind, "Ara has Natsuki come to see me?" a all to familiar voice whispered into her ear. SHIZURU! "S..SHIZURU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Natsuki shouted out surprised by the older girl. "Ara should it not be I who is surpose to ask that?" Shizuru asked back. Natsuki was blushing like mad, her redness rivaling one of a tomato's. She was glad she wasn't facing Shizuru.

"I..I was wandering around the school and I ended up here." Natsuki managed to tell Shizuru. "and what about you Shizuru?" Natsuki asked as she broke out of Shizuru's hold and faced the older girl. "Ara, this is my secret spot." Shizuru replied with a smile on her face. She gestured to Natsuki to take a sit on the bench behind them.

The both of them sat down at the bench, "Oh yes did Natsuki enjoy her view?" Shizuru asked playfully. View? What view? Oh this view. "Yeah its great I could see the whole town from here." Natsuki replied. "Ara I did not meant this view. Has Natsuki forgotten about your little locker room view?" Shizuru said as she lean closer to Natsuki. The blush was back Natsuki's face turned a deeper red. "BAKA! I WASN'T LOOKING AT YOU!" Natsuki shouted out. "Am I not good enough for Natsuki to look at?" Shizuru got both her hands to her face, a drop of tear drip down her face. She's crying?! "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! Please don't cry!" Natsuki paniced upon seeing Shizuru cry. Shizuru's expression changed she was now covering her mouth wiping away her fake tears. "A..Ara..Na…Natsu..ki" Shizuru was about to burst into laughter seeing as how Natsuki's reaction was. "SHIZURU!" Natsuki glared at Shizuru but it had no effect against the kyoto girl. "Hai hai Natsuki, that is my name." Shizuru smiled to Natsuki. "Mou…Why do you have to tease me so much?" Natsuki pouted and asked. "Because Natsuki is simply too adorable." Shizuru replied. "I am not." Natsuki folded her arms in an attempt to protest.

"Ne Shizuru, you know you could have any person you want, but why did you choose me. I'm not special or anything." Natsuki asked looking straight at those crimson eyes. Not special? Natsuki can't you see you're the most gorgeous person I have ever met. Just looking at you makes my heart race. "Ara, you are wrong Natsuki. You are very special." Shizuru replied. Natsuki couldn't help but to blush at Shizuru's words. Natsuki fidgetted unsure of what else to say, just as she was about to say something she banged her knee against the table infront of her, she lost her balance and felll backwards. "Natsuki!" Shizuru reached her hand out, trying to grab Natsuki. Shizuru managed to grab, Natsuki's waist but ended up falling together, Shizuru flipped herself over allowing herself to take the impact.

Natsuki was laying ontop of Shizuru on the ground. What is this so soft? Natsuki raised her head to find herself resting on Shizuru's neck. Natsuki immediately pushed herself up, she tried to move away but their legs were entangled together, instead of moving away she fall once more and this time she stopped herself just before reaching Shizuru.

They were face to face, each could feel the other's breathe. "Na..Natsuki…"
