Voice over 1: Did you hear?
Voice over 2: Hear what?
Voice over 1: I heard that the Kuga's princess' birthday party was a wreck! I heard there were nomads who came and gate crashed
Voice over 2: Really? As in Nomads?!
Voice over 1: Okay, so I'm exaggerating my version, but there really were some weird girls who gate crashed the party, and you know what?
Voice over 2: I can't guess…it seems this is your turf!
Voice over 1: Okay, one of the gate crasher looks like the cat God Mikoto!
Voice over 2: Mikoto?!
Mikoto: (Showed up in shadow with her golden spear just like his shadow that protects the organ) who art thou awoken me from my peaceful slumber? (Her voice was hallow, baritone and scary)
Voice over 1 and 2: Ne…neko-sama! (The two started trembling)
Mikoto: (Shadow suddenly lightened) I'm kidding! Where's my ramen?
Voice over 1 and 2: (Both face faulted) Neko…sama…
HanDJ: Hey! They are not Nomads! Their HiMEs! You good for nothing gossip mongers! Get the hell out of my story…3#!&123#&! (looked at the audience suddenly) Ara…Gomen mina…hehehe
Shizuru: Don't Ara-Ara! You made me a wild woman! A Wolf Devil Woman at that!
HanDJ: (Starts sweating hard) But Shizuru-san…I'm not the only one who made you a wild woman! At least you kept your clothes!
Shizuru: You're going to remove it too I'm sure
HanDJ: (looks guilty…) well…at least Natsuki is after you not you after her?
Shizuru: (remained quiet) Okay…continue…make sure Natsuki will want me though or else…
HanDJ: Hai! (Faced the audience) hear that? So this is Shiznat in an AUverse, Natsuki will be a bit OOC but this is AU so I'm justified! Natsuki will be taking advantage of Shizuru here and she will be the one to remove Shizuru's… (Looks at Shizuru's grinning face) Shizuru's…
Natsuki: Ehhh? Me remove Shizuru's clothes?! (Came in screaming as if wanting to eat HanDJ)
HanDJ: Ahhhh! I didn't say that! I would have said removed her bandage!...Yeah her bandage!
Natsuki: (deflated) Good…
Shizuru: Ara! That's not what we have discussed earlier HanDJ-san! You promised!
HanDj: I didn't…
Shizuru: Yes you did
Natsuki: She did not, I heard her!
Shizuru: (looked at Natsuki) She did!
Natsuki: She did not
HanDJ: (looked at the two wrestling women) So before they cut off my head…I'll leave now and write the 4th chapter to Wolf Devil Woman…Oh and this is the edited version…Weaver-san...arigato!
Wolf Devil Woman
Chapter 4
Crimson orbs found emerald ones looking straight at her own in bewilderment, "Nay…" Shizuru shook her head to clear it and her vision am I really seeing Nay here?
"You…you're not a dream…you're real…" Natsuki was so astounded that was all she could say…at the moment, "Nay? Is that your name?" Natsuki crouched down hence she was now very near the lying wild woman on the floor, "Is that your name?" she asked again, her tone of voice was likened to someone begging, she slowly crawled forward.
Shizuru's vision cleared, she was sure that she's seeing her Nay, but she cannot understand her, she has no idea what she was saying, was she asking her? Was Nay her name too? This version of her Nay was too young…it was as if the woman before her was just the same age as her, "You're not Nay! Get away from me!" Shizuru screamed once she realized that the woman started moving towards her, her eyes widened with fear as she tried to move back and away from the advancing woman.
"I cannot understand you…please, don't be scared, I mean no harm!" Natsuki reached out for the scared woman. The blue haired girl almost jumped back when the wild woman tried to grabbed her hand with her teeth and the wild woman growled at her.
"Natsuki!" Saeko screamed when she saw this, the young blue haired woman looked back at her worried mother.
"I'm fine mother!" Natsuki said and then she returned her focus on the goddess backing away from her, "She didn't hurt me." She softly added, she's wearing a smile on her face despite the situation.
"Be careful Natsuki!" Saeko screamed at her daughter once again and the younger Kuga nodded her head.
"Please don't be afraid of me I won't hurt you…"
"Natsuki!" Nao called out as soon as she was able to get herself out of and under Miyu, "She's not from here, she can't understand a thing we are saying!" Nao explained loudly
Mother…they also know the word mother…just like ours "Mother…" Shizuru whispered
"Mother?" Natsuki frowned and then she stood up and faced Nao. Chie and Aoi were standing beside Nao but the two were still dazed with each other, "She said mother! She must have heard me call 'kaasan that!" the blue haired woman said, "How the hell did you know about her?!" Natsuki asked and then pointed at the woman at her back and her eyes also landed on the wolf pup that was left lying on the floor, unmoving, "And this wolf pup!" she returned her focus on Nao and frowned, "You told me that I was just dreaming when I told you…"
Her tirade was halted by the three bulky men coming forward; one of them still has a knife in his hand.
"STOP! You're scaring her!" Natsuki yelled at the three advancing men.
"But Kuga-ojousama…"
"Get out of here! This is my party and you do whatever I want! So I want you three to leave now!"
"Yes Kuga-ojousama!" The three men replied before they hurriedly scampered out of the dining hall.
Natsuki turned around to look at the puppy. She crouched down as the pup was just beneath her and reached out to test if the pup will try to eat her hand.
"No! Don't touch him!" Shizuru screamed; her eyes wide as she feared for the wolf pup once again, "We didn't do anything to you! So leave and free us!"
Natsuki looked at Shizuru, smiled and then she shifted her gaze at the wolf pup who raised its head and looked at Natsuki, "Hello there little one…" Natsuki greeted the wide eyed pup before she finally reached out and petted the wolf's head.
"Nat…" Saeko's protest was halted by Himeko's hand on her shoulder.
"I think the wild woman is more dangerous at this time rather than the wolf Saeko, so calm down." The blond haired doctor told the nerve wrecked Saeko
Saeko looked at Himeko and smiled, "I'm glad you're here, I'm not sure If I'll survive this chaos alone!" she said before she patted Himeko's hand that was on her shoulder.
"I know…aren't I always the cool headed one?" Himeko teased.
"Yes, and Nao took so much from you…"
"And Natsuki from you!" the adults in the room snickered.
"Oi Chie!" Nao called out the taller girl, "Explain this to Natsuki! Oi!" Nao walked over to Chie, unaware that her hand was still intertwined with Miyu's and her face reddened when the taller girl and her new girlfriend focused on that linked hands.
Nao's voice pulled the two dazed lovers out of their own world, "Wha…Oh, Natsuki finally found out about our surprise?" she asked grinning at Nao then she shifted her focus on Natsuki and smiled.
"What surprise?" Natsuki asked, the wolf pup now happily nuzzling Natsuki's hands, the wagging of its tail is the very indication to that, "I think this pup is hungry." Natsuki said as she caressed the wolf continuously, she then looked at Shizuru, "You must be hungry too?"
No answer as the wild woman decided to just glare at her.
Natsuki then turned her head on Chie, "What the hell are you talking about? What surprise?"
"Okay! Okay! Before you blow your fuse I'll explain so cool down!" Nao said.
"Cool down? Why am I going to cool down…" she saw Nao holding hands with Miyu, "And get your hands off Miyu!"
Nao blushed at the sudden change of Natsuki's focus, "Baka! It was Miyu who held my hand!"
"Nao ojou-sama, I helped you get up and you wouldn't release my hand." Miyu defended which caused Nao's blush to deepen.
"Nao…" Himeko smiled and looked at her daughter, "You're busted!"
"Mother!" Nao squealed and then she released Miyu's hands before looking at the grinning blue haired princess, "Okay you want me to explain or not?"
"Explain please." Natsuki said.
"Wipe that grin off your face and I'll start…" Natsuki did what was asked of her but not before looking back at the wild woman, "Good," Nao walked closer to the now sitting Natsuki at the floor, "Chie, Mai and I…" Nao looked around to see where Mai was and sighed when she saw the red head slumped on the ground and cradling the smaller wild woman's head on her lap, "Oi Mai! The action now is here!"
"Baka! This is all your fault!" Mai yelled at the other red head.
"Stop!" Saeko yelled, "You explain this now, Nao or I'll have Himeko tell the story about you on your 12th birthday…"
"No! Mother! Don't tell me you told Kuga-sama?" Nao wailed.
Himeko giggled, "You were so cute back then!"
"Okay! I'll spill just keep quiet!" Nao yelled then looked at Natsuki once again, "So Mai, Chie and I went to the forest yesterday to hunt. We were actually trying to hunt for a wolf pup, just like that," Nao pointed a finger to the wolf being caressed by Natsuki, "… to give you today as a present for your 18th birthday…"
"Birthday…" Shizuru repeated what is today? Oh my…it is my birthday and 6 months from now, I will have to marry the winner of the hunting competition!
"Hey! She also knew about the word birthday!" Natsuki happily said.
"Will you keep on interrupting me or do you want me to finish…"
"Please go on Nao." Natsuki said grinning when she heard Shizuru's stomach growled.
"Okay! So we captured not only that pup but also that wolf devil woman!"
Natsuki frowned, "Wolf devil woman?"
"She was carrying that wolf and it looks like they were talking when we caught them. They were both injured as you can see she and the pup has bandages on their bodies?" Nao explained.
"Oh…she can understand wolf talk?" Natsuki asked bewildered.
"And not only that…I think her eyes have some spell that can enchant anyone who looks into it!" Chie added.
"Enchanted?" Natsuki then turned her head to look at the woman's crimson orbs. Shizuru who felt the attention on her growled at Natsuki, "Okay, I think I better see that for myself but for now, I am hungry…"
As soon as Natsuki says the magic word, stomachs from different directions started growling loud.
"And I say there's no good food right here in this room…" Saeko said blushing after her stomach growled in hunger.
"NO FEAR!" Himeno Fumi entered smiling, "I did get one of the chefs to make ramen for everyone! And we still have fried chickens, cake and Ice cream!" the composed woman said smiling. Reito Kanzaki was beside her.
Their eyes widened in exaltation as the mansion's servants came in and started arranging the room, the main chef brought out a very big casserole of ramen and newly fried chickens were also brought out and was settled on the now decent dining table.
The scent of the steaming ramen caused Shizuru's stomach to growl louder and the wild woman blushed.
The scent also brought one unconscious warrior to awaken while the warrior keeps on chanting… "Ramen…ramen…ramen…"
Shizuru looked to where the sound of Mikoto's chant can be heard, "Mi…Mikoto?!" the chest nut haired girl screamed and tried to lean forward to look for her friend, "MIKOTO!"
Mai looked at the yelling woman, "Mikoto?" she asked and that's when the woman on her lap suddenly sat up, her eyes was still close but her face turned to where the ramen was placed. Mikoto opened her eyes with glee as she saw the large casserole full of her favorite food, "RAMEN!" she squealed before looking at the woman beside her.
Mai's eyes widened when she saw Mikoto's amber, cat like eyes, "Oh…Kami-sama…"
Mikoto smiled and shook her head, "No, me not Kami, me Mikoto! Mikoto!" she said and then her eyes went down at Mai's well endowed breast, made more pronounced by her gown, "Wow…" she said, the young warrior was drooling.
"Oh my god…I think that warrior is drooling at the sight of Mai-san's breast!" Aoi said as she noticed the look Mikoto was giving Mai's chest, it seemed only one person took notice that Mikoto did understand Mai and even spoke their language though she spoke syllabically.
"I think that warrior understands you Mai-san!" Reito said as he looked at the young spiked haired warrior.
"MIKOTO!" Shizuru screamed again.
Mikoto stopped chanting and stood up hurriedly, "SHIZURU! Where are you?" the small woman asked then she leaped out of her place to see Shizuru still on the floor, her back on the wall, "Shizuru!" Mikoto smiled when she saw her friend's face and her condition, she hurriedly come to Shizuru's aid which broke Mai's heart.
"Are you alright?" Shizuru asked the smaller woman, "Thank you."
Mikoto shook her head, "I should have taken care of you, and Kruger will probably kill me now." She happily said, "I smell ramen!" she added excitedly.
"What are you saying? Is Mikoto your name?" Natsuki asked interrupting the two wild women's inter-action.
"Yes! Me Mikoto," the spiked haired woman said pointing at her chest, "Shizuru!" she said then pointing at the woman on the floor, "Shizuru hurt, fight tigers save wolf!" she said, "We lost!"
"Oh my God!" Nao exclaimed, "She can understand us and she can speak a little of our language!" she added.
"You're a gift sent by Kami!" Chie added.
"Need go, Kruger kill if don't back Shizuru!" Mikoto explained.
Himeko intervened, "Mikoto is it?" she waited for the small woman to nod her head before continuing, "We can't let your friend go yet…her leg is still injured and raw, her wound will get worse if she walks on it." The doctor explained.
"Can't go?" Mikoto asked, "Free food?"
Nao and Chie looked at each other grinning, "Free food, free bed and free bath!" Nao declared.
Mikoto looked at Shizuru and smiled, "The beautiful woman with brunette hair said you can't go, your wound is still fresh, it is bleeding see?" Mikoto pointed at Shizuru's blood stained bandage, "You can't walk far and we don't know where we are. They will give us free food; free bed and you can also take a bath!"
"Nay…Mother…and Arika and Nina will be very worried!" Shizuru said.
"We'll pray and wish for our prayer to reach them. You can die out there if you try to get in the forest as weak as this." Mikoto said and Shizuru nodded at Mikoto's reasoning.
"We stay! Free food?" Mikoto asked again.
Nao, Chie, Mai and Natsuki grinned and said, "Free food!" together.
Saeko looked at Himeko and shook her head, "Kids nowadays!"
"Let's eat before all this food vanishes before our eyes Saeko." Himeko said dragging the older blue haired woman to the dining table.
They started eating with the two wild women, Shizuru and Mikoto devoured their food, they drank the soup from the bowl as they know not how to use chopsticks, not even a spoon and a fork, well Mikoto doesn't but Shizuru knows how to use the spoon and fork…though not the proper way (according to the standard of modern, fine dining anyways!)
"Why do I have the feeling that this day onwards will be an exciting one?" Himeko asked the blue haired woman who was looking at her daughter who has her eyes pinned on the eating "wolf devil woman"
"And I do get the feeling that this house will have some permanent resident beyond me and Natsuki." Saeko said pertaining to Mai who had her dreamy eyes focused on the eating small warrior, but this was not what Himeko has in mind hence the beautiful blond blushed.
"Mother! You're blushing at Saeko-sama again!" Nao said frowning.
Nao's words brought her mother's blush to go deeper and Saeko to sport her own.
They ate without anymore hassles as the servants sang Happy Birthday song to Natsuki and the birthday celebrant began blowing the candles on her birthday cake. Natsuki's eyes wanders along the crimson eyed goddess who decided that the cake and ice cream are good way to celebrate her secret birthday away, Shizuru huddles herself at a corner with the wolf and Mikoto.

"How is Shizuru Himeko-sama?" Natsuki was outside Miyu's room where the wild women and the wolf took residence.
Himeko smiled at the young blue haired woman after she closed the door, "The wolf puppy is doing well, the smaller girl Mikoto is currently sleeping and the Wolf Devil Woman is trying her best to stay calm."
Silence.
"I'll ask Watari-san to arrange two extra rooms for them, I don't like them crowding in Miyu's room." Natsuki said, "Plus they are my guest now so…"
Himeko grinned at Natsuki, "So you are assigning the room adjacent to yours as the devil's room?" the older woman said.
Natsuki blushed, "I wasn't…"
"Don't lie to me that you weren't thinking about that Natsuki, you and your mother are like an open book to me so you can't lie on things like that." Himeko said then she patted Natsuki's shoulder, "Plus you don't have to worry about that, your mother already readied the room adjacent to yours to accommodate the wild woman, and don't thank me for feeding her that idea." She said grinning wider.
"Hi…Himeko-sama!" Natsuki exclaimed with her eyes wide
Their moment was interrupted by Miyu who came to them with news, "Watari-san is waiting for instructions as to when we could put the guests in their proper rooms?"
Natsuki and Himeko faced the cyan haired woman, "Perhaps we should wait for Mikoto-chan to wake up first so that she can relay our message to Shizuru-chan," Himeko suggested and the two younger women nodded.
The brunette woman tapped Natsuki's shoulder and silently walked pass her, "Himeko-sama," Natsuki called out stopping the woman's advance mid-way and turned her head to look at the younger blue haired woman, "Will you and Nao be staying over?"
Himeko smiled, "Your mother asked me to stay until the wolf…I mean until Shizuru-chan is 100 percent cured."
At that Natsuki's smile widened, "Arigato Himeko-sama…"
"Your welcome Natsuki…good night and happy birthday," The older woman said before leaving Natsuki and Miyu.
Later on, Miyu heard Fumi call out her name and excused herself. After being left alone, Natsuki sighed and slowly, she stepped closer to the room's door and quietly opened the door…
Her eyes widened and her face paled when two crimson orbs met her nervous gaze, "Shi…Shizuru…"
Silence…which was broken by the pup's howling cry.
"Heh…" Natsuki opened the door widely and stepped in, she had an arm up and her hand was massaging her neck, "Sorry…if…I…disturb you?" Natsuki wasn't even sure if the woman could understand her words. She then put down her raised arm and pointed it at the wolf, "Can I?" she asked then she made a caressing motion then pointed at the wolf again
What? Shizuru frowned as she read the woman's action she wants to…scratch…no, no, no, she wants to clean? Bathe?...
Natsuki then raised her hand to her head and patted her head to demonstrate what she really wants.
Oh…she wants to pet Wolfy! Shizuru smiled at Natsuki for the first time and nodded her head.
Kami-sama, she has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my entire life…don't forget to thank Harada, Yuuki and Tokiha when you see them tomorrow for these gifts! "Thank you!" Natsuki said excitedly and she hurriedly stepped closer to the wolf that stopped howling upon her approach. The crimson eyed woman was watching Natsuki intently as she petted the wolf on its head and then played with the hurt pup by tickling the pup's belly.
I can't believe this woman has such energy…and we have the same birthday, Shizuru thought as she watched the blue haired woman laugh out loud when the wolf pup decided to feast on her face and lick her good and she has the most vibrant, lively and gorgeous smile…so very much like Nay but different in a way…
"Hahahaha," Natsuki laughed as the wolf keeps on playing with her, licking her face then alternating with licking her hand that tickles its belly, then the wolf will playfully nipped on her hand causing the young blue haired woman to laugh the more.
"Birthday," Shizuru suddenly said, "Birthday,"
Natsuki raised her face to look at the woman on the bed who was smiling at them, "Oh yes, today is my birthday!" Natsuki said as she points a finger on her chest and she frowned when Shizuru shook her head.
Shizuru raised one arm and pointed a finger on Natsuki, "Birthday,"at this Natsuki nodded then Shizuru pointed a finger on her chest and said, "Birthday!" Shizuru said excitedly.
Natsuki shook her head then she copied Shizuru's action but pointing at her chest first and said "Birthday," at this Shizuru's head nodded, then Natsuki points at Shizuru and said, "No birthday," she said this along with her head shaking no.
Shizuru frowned and shook her head, she pointed at her chest and said, "Birthday!"
Natsuki frowned and now in deep thought, what does she mean by that? It's my birthday not hers…she kept on thinking until he meaning sank in, could it be that today is also her birthday? Natsuki smiled and pointed a finger at Shizuru, "Shizuru…birthday?" the chest nut haired woman nodded at the phrase, "It's your birthday too?!" Natsuki stopped playing with the wolf when Shizuru smiled and nodded again. Natsuki stood up and turned around to go out but stopped mid way and faced the other woman, "We must celebrate!"
Shizuru frowned what is she saying now?
"Oh sorry, you didn't understand…" Natsuki then made a round Shape in the air and started blowing as if she was blowing a candle, "Cake!" she said after doing the action and then she did another as if she was opening a freezer, taking out a rounded thing, opening it and putting scoops on an invisible cone and she stuck out her tongue as if she was licking an ice cream. Shizuru frowned at the last one, "Ice cream!" Natsuki said after her demonstration, she even made an extra act as if she was wiping her mouth with her forearms, the last one made Shizuru laugh hard Kami…she's even more gorgeous when she laughs like this… Natsuki said smiling at herself for a job well done. She could feel her heart gallop inside her chest as she watched the wild woman laugh out loud on the bed.
But not having an answer told her that the point didn't come across the laughing woman, "Okay! Wait here, I'll get us some cakes and Ice cream!" Natsuki then hurriedly turned around and headed to the kitchen where numbers of their servants were still up and cleaning.
10 minutes later, Natsuki went back to the room carrying a large tray with a large piece of cake and a half gallon of ice cream, very rocky road flavor, "Happy Birthday Shizuru!" Natsuki greeted loudly. The chest nut haired woman's eyes widened at the sweet gesture and she smiled. She tried to stand up but her injured leg prevented her as she toppled back down on the bed, "Hey don't stand you don't want your wound to bleed again!" Natsuki said and then she placed the tray on the side table, "I'll arrange everything!"
Shizuru just watched Natsuki prepare their food I never get to know her name and she knows mine…what was her name…I'm sure they called her name out earlier… "Shizuru!" she said pointing to her chest the she touched Natsuki's shoulder, when Natsuki just looked at her not knowing what the chest nut haired woman wanted to say, Shizuru repeated the process. But as usual, Natsuki's density made her unable to comprehend what Shizuru was doing, so the wild woman sighed and shook her head is this gorgeous woman really this dense? Shizuru then decided to do another tactic, she pointed at the sleeping Mikoto and said, "Mikoto," then she pointed at herself and say her name, she pointed at the wolf and said, "Lobo!" she then pointed at the table and said, "Mesa!"
Natsuki frowned as she tried to decipher what the wild woman was doing and finally, the meaning sank in, "Oh, so he is Lobo," Natsuki said pointing at the wolf and Shizuru nodded her head and smiled.
Finally!Shizuru pointed at herself again and said her name then she points at Natsuki.
"Natsuki, my name is Natsuki!" Natsuki said smiling.
"Nat…su…ki?" Shizuru repeated and smiled when the blue haired woman nodded her head, "Natsuki…Natsuki…" Shizuru called out repeatedly.
"Okay…stop repeating my name over and over…" Natsuki said but she was smiling happy that Shizuru knew her name, she was also glad at how the woman called out her name she's saying my name as if it was something precious…something priceless…
Natsuki's thoughts and Shizuru's name chanting was halted by Mikoto screaming "RAMEN" after suddenly bolting out of the couch where she was lying.
"Ehhhh! Cakey! Ice cream!" Mikoto squealed when she saw what Natsuki was preparing and she happily stepped closer.
Once Natsuki was done with her preparation, she distributed the cake to Shizuru, Mikoto and Lobo and she started singing Happy Birthday to you to Shizuru.
She has a very beautiful voice…she could put me to sleep with her songs… Shizuru thought as she looked at the blue haired woman who was happily singing her a song.
"Happy Birthday Shizuru!" Natsuki said loudly and was followed by Mikoto.
"Happy Birthday Shizuru!" Mikoto greeted the chest nut haired woman.
"Awoooo!" Lobo greeted Shizuru in his own way.
"Thank you…"
"Shizuru said, thank you…" Mikoto translated for Natsuki which cause Natsuki to blush.
"Ara…Natsuki blushes like Nina!" Shizuru said when she noticed the blue haired woman's face.
"Shizuru said, Natsuki blush like Nina!" Mikoto translated, "Nina, Shizuru sister…Nina…" Mikoto added as she started devouring the ice cream first.
At the information Natsuki's blush intensified.
"Ara…what did you tell her Mikoto? Natsuki's blush deepened!" Shizuru frowned at Mikoto; the smaller warrior shrugged her shoulders.
"I just translated your sentence!" Mikoto reasoned.
"Oi!" Natsuki looked at Mikoto and Shizuru, "Mikoto, tell Shizuru that I'm going to teach her about my language tomorrow!"
Mikoto frowned and she looked at Shizuru, "Natsuki said she'll teach you her language tomorrow!" Mikoto said then went back to eating her ice cream.
They continued their celebration in silence and were only stopped when Miyu came to inform Mikoto and Shizuru that they can rest on their rooms now.
XXX
Natsuki was all smiles. She was standing inside the very short hall that separates her part of the door to that of Shizuru's guest room, she had her hand resting on the open adjacent door and was watching the wild woman as she lied on her back, chanting Natsuki's name until she fell asleep, but she heard the woman said something like "Good night" in her language
"Good night Shizuru, I'll definitely be dreaming of you!" she whispered in the air and wished that the woman didn't hear her or notice her there…watching.
