"Alright, finally my damn break" Natsuki growled plopping herself down. Natsuki sat across from Shizuru holding her head with both hands, glaring at a textbook in front of her. Shizuru had already gone through three cups of tea before Natsuki got her break.

"I didn't know Natsuki curses. Must I punish her for such language in front of her tutor" Shizuru smiled with closed eyes which opened to see Natsuki's response. Natsuki laid her blushing face onto the table and groaned.

"But this stuff, English, its complete…gibberish!" She yelled slamming her fist into the book in a child like manor. "Aw Natsuki, it's not that bad, I'm sure I can teach you it" Shizuru smiled a glint her eyes appeared slightly. "Yeah I guess…I mean we could start it tonight if you wanted" Natsuki stated picking up her head and was a bit quick to reply, automatically throwing her arms up to cover herself, "What's that look for!?".

"What look?" Shizuru asked tilting her head slightly. "I only wish to please my Nat-su-ki" She exclaimed taking a sip of her tea, eyeing her partner slightly. "I…W-well" Natsuki started wishing that she would die at that second, rather than knowing what her girlfriend was thinking.

"Hey Kuga your breaks over get your ass over here!" Midori yelled tapping her pen against a notepad. "You know as well as me you're going to get stuck with everything that the other crew members screw up".

"Other crew members, doesn't she mean what she screws up? Who's she fooling?" Mai sighed working the cash register. Mikoto nodded and ate her lunch, enjoying the short thirty minutes she had for break, happily adding "I like working with Mai she's so nice to get me a job here, yup, yup. Don't you think so Miyu?"

"Mai Tokiha, nearly top of her class, has over 231 friends. Personality includes the fallowing; nice, outgoing, hard working…" Miyu replied in her automated robotic voice as she served milkshakes to a small group there. "Midori Sugiura, age 24, supposed school teacher and archaeologist. Personality includes the fallowing; clumsy, prideful, confident…" She went on.

"Your lucky the place isn't crowded ya know that?" Nao growled staring off at Natsuki and Shizuru. "Who brought in this piece of trash?" "Hey don't talk about Shizuru that way!" Natsuki snarled standing up as Mai shouted along with her. "Who said I was talking about Fujino?" Nao smirked as she clocked out.

"Hell you wanna tussle, bring it ya damn spider." Natsuki growled taking a step toward the main area of the restaurant before her hand was gripped by Shizuru. "Now Natsuki, don't let words bother you. I will take care of this matter for you." Shizuru smiled also getting up.

"Nao Yuuki, must I tell sister Yukariko what you have said?" Shizuru smiled striving forward, sliding her hand down Natsuki's wrist to her fingers and gently twining them with her own. "Sister…Dear Go…No…" Nao moaned folding her arms over her chest. Sneering in her defeat Nao stomped out of the work and took off to the church.

"See now, it wasn't that hard" Shizuru smiled gently caressing Natsuki's hand lovingly. Natsuki turned red and hid their hands between themselves. "Natsuki, shift lets go. Miyu you're done, Mai, Mikoto one more shift along with Natsuki." Midori informed everyone. Sighing Natsuki left her lovers side and went behind the counter.

The only group that was in the Lindem Baum slowly left the restaurant one by one, leaving Shizuru to be the only non crew member there. "Alright then it seems were off early tonight" Midori announced hanging a closed sign on the door. It was now five o'clock, barley getting dark out. "Do you guys want to come over tonight? Were celebrating Mikoto's first day of work." Mai cheerfully exclaimed.

"Anything for a feast huh?" Natsuki smirked looking at Mikoto. Mikoto nodded shouting, "Tonight Mai promised ramen!". "Oh that does sound enjoyable but excuse us for tonight. Natsuki is having some problems concentrating in English." Shizuru grinned.

"Oh. Ok, Natsuki we have off tomorrow so how about you come over then. I can help you with geometry ok?" Mai laughed a bit, getting what Shizuru meat by concentrating. Natsuki and Mikoto stared at Mai quizzically before separating there own ways.

After a quick change and a lock up of the store Natsuki and Shizuru were off again. This time to a more comfortable scene. "Take a left down Reliance road." Shizuru shouted over the engine. "Yeah yeah I remember!" Natsuki roared.

The two had been dating for some time now, after the carnival of the Himes. Natsuki had moved in with Shizuru the day of the graduation since she couldn't afford the coast of living in a dorm. She slept with Mai and Mikoto while studying a couple of times, but soon found out how much better she liked it at Shizuru's.

"Home at last" Shizuru proposed as she lept from her girlfirends bike onto the drive way. "You better believe it" Natsuki said getting out her pair of keys. Shinzuru snuck up behind her and gently wrapped her arms around her.

"Can't even wait until I'm in the door huh?" Natsuki giggled as she unlocked the door only to be bombarded by their two dogs. One was a german shepard and the other was a wolf import from Canada. "Duran, Kiyohime down dogs" She growled showing her dominance in the household.

The dogs scurried away and jumped onto the couch. They were expecting puppies soon. Duran, the wolf had a surprising interest in Kiyohime, the german shepard. Natsuki had always thought getting fixed would be inhumane.

"Ahh theres my girl" Shizuru smiled closing the door and sitting on the couch with her dog to soon fallow on her lap. "Someone needs to go potty huh?" Natsuki urged as walked into the back of the kitchen opening a sliding door to let the two out. "Hey Shizuru, its still a little light out I'm going to go play with the dogs for a bit alright?" She exclaimed already outside and ready to close the door.

"Alrighty then" Shizuru announced getting up and maked her way over to Natsuki, taking her long sensusal time, "That is if you can spare a kiss". "Hm..I could always spare one or two" Natsuki taunted placing a hand on Shizuru's neck before placing her lips onto the other girls. Which wasn't good enough for Shizuru supposably.

Shizuru wrapped her arms around Natsuki and tilted her head to the side gently, grazing her teeth along her lover's bottom lip. Natsuki happily complied and darted her tongue out into Shizuru's mouth, gently tangling the tongue that was hiding there. A shiver ran down Shizuru's and Natsuki's spine as a cold breeze flew in from the door. Groping blinding against the door Natsuki managed to shut it before she began to suckle and bite along Shizuru's neck. A moan escaped Shizuru's mouth as her fingernail tips gently pressed against Natsuki's back.

"My, my how N..Natsuki had improved" Shizuru teased, causing a busy Natsuki to blush and stop her actions. "Go have fun, I'll make our dinner. And you better not forget what you have started Miss Natsuki Kuga." She promptly added sneaking in one last kiss.

Natsuki nodded and went out to play with her beloved animals while Shizuru opened a cabinet and pulled out some ingredients for pineapple and rice, chicken. It was quite a simple dish, fry chicken then douce it in bbq sauce, cook rice then open a can of pineapples and there you have it, one of Natsuki's favorite dishes.

As Shizuru had everything done in a matter of thirty minutes or so she gazed out the window, watching her love. She had been having nitemares, flashbacks of the carnival recently. All those people she murdered, all those buildings and corporations she destoried, all for Natsuki. Natsuki had accepted the appologied when ever Shizuru brought them up. She claimed it was, "All in the past and done with", yet it was never done, in Shizuru's mind.

She had only three fourths of the way finished. The one major coporation that hurt Natsuki, even to this day was District One still had some loose ends. The pain of the souls she hurt and the innocent people she killed always lingered around her. To some she was known as an Angel of Death.

There was this pain when ever she touched Natsuki, when ever she looked at her. She took their friendship and explotied it. Doing what ever she pleased at night. In Shizuru's mind she had questioned Natsuki's love and affection toward her. She said she loved her at the carnival battle the two had. Yet it wasn't until Natsuki asked Shizuru out she was sure.

Whether it be the pain of people she hurt or the pain she placed upon herself for letting such lust come over her to exploited it. There was always an invisible pain. A pain that stopped her from touching Natsuki any further. She wasn't brought this pain, she brang it upon herself and it shall stay until she can be truly forgiven for all she has done.

Natsuki looked back with a grin from ear to ear. She was on the ground with the dogs licking at her frantically, with their tags wagging like crazy. Waving at Shizuru she smiled even wider, if possible and mouthed an, "I love you"
