Miyuki stared at the phone in her hand for a few seconds, merely listening to the ringing sound that came from it.
She just sat on the edge of her bed until she'd gattered enough courage to answer the call. She cleared her throat and pushed the green button on the noisy thing.
'H-hello? Rokujo Miyuki speaking.'
'Hey there Miyuki, long time no hear. How's my favourite room mate doing?'
Miyuki swallowed when she recognized the husky voice that came from out of the phone: the voice that had made her blush, shiver and freeze all those times its owner had sneaked up on her to whisper something in her ear. She hadn't changed a bit, the blue haired girl thought as she pressed the phone closer to her head, making sure her husband below couldn't hear one word; not even when he'd be standing with his ear pressed to her door.
'Hello Shizuma. Not too bad thank you. How are you?'
She could almost feel Shizuma smile on the other end of the line after her little lie about her being well. Her best friend could always tell when something was wrong. She was so good at guessing her thoughts that it would sometimes become scary even.
'Don't even try to lie to me, student council president Rokujo Miyuki! I now that voice, something is bothering you, and if I had to guess, I'd say that something is that idiot of a husband of yours!'
Shizuma practicly yelled that last part.
Miyuki gulped at hearing the hatred dripping from the blonde's words.
'Don't worry Shizuma, I'll be fine…I am now.'
Shizuma sighed but knew it was no use pushing her friend; she could be very stuborn if she wanted to, especially about her feelings. It'd costed her more then 5 weeks before Miyuki finally began opening up to her. It had been a difficult task, but she managed to make the girl feel at ease when around her, to let Shizuma comfort her when she was sad.
'Well, at least you've not completely gone mad since you still recognize my voice and my born talent to make people feel good when they simply hear it.'
Miyuki giggled and lay down on her bed, pulling the blankets with her. Somehow it made her feel uneasy to talk to Shizuma while she was uncovered…especially after that dream.
She gasped when a fragment of the dream violently blew it's way through her memory; Shizuma's lips on hers, one hand on her back, caressing her pale skin while the other one held her chin.
'Miyuki, are you alright?'
Shizuma, who'd heard her friend gulp for air, couldn't supress a feeling of concern.
I swear, if that filthy animal has hurt her in any way, he'll pay for it!
'Yes, I'm sorry Shizuma, I was just-just remembering something, something I though I…forgot.
But tell me; why are you calling me in the middle of the night?'
Changing the topic now are we, Miyuki? Well, I'll let it go, but only for now!
Shizuma smirked; she would find out what was wrong…eventually.
'Well, there's happened something a little while ago. I planned to tell you immediately after it happened, but all the teachers here suddenly wondered if it wouldn't be nice if they'd surprise their students with work…lots of work.
I swear, it was all a big conspiracy to bury us under the assignments before the exams even began! That's the reason why I didn't call on you for such a long time; I'm really sorry Miyuki!'
Miyuki couldn't help but feel a bit jealous about her best friend. Shizuma was able to study, to get a job, to be someone, while she was condemned to be the priced possesion of her husband.
She shook her head, banning the thoughts from her mind. She shouldn't complane: she had a house, money and peace; she should be thankfull…
Then why was it so hard to be?
She sighed and straightened her back. She would not let this overpower her, Shizuma had something to tell her and she wasn't going to indulge in self pity!
'It's okay Shizuma, I understand. After all, it can't be easy, being the topstudent!'
Now it was Shizuma's turn to giggle.
'I'm only the topstudent because you're not here, my dear Miyuki. If you were, I wouldn't stand a chance.'
She only realized what she'd said when it was already too late.
'Oh Miyuki, I'm sorry! I'm really lost today, I should've rememberd-' Her stammering was cut off by Miyuki's voice, gentle and caring as always. 'It's nothing Shizuma, really. Why don't you tell me what happened?'
'Ah yes, well…I broke up with Nagisa…'
Miyuki seemed struck by lightning. No, that can't be, it can't be. Just like in my dream, but why?'
'Why?'
Shizuma smiled. 'She was in love with Tamao-chan I could tell, she was afraid she'd hurt me if she told me that but I could see she wasn't happy with me so I let her go. To be honest, I think it would've been difficult to keep a relationship like that, far away from each other. And you know me; don't you? I'm never able to stay with one person for a very long time.'
Miyuki heard the seducive undertone in Shizuma's voice and knew she didn't have to be afraid; Shizuma was herself again, free of troubles and carefree. I wish I was like that.
'Anyway, Miyuki, since it's almost the end of november I was thinking, why don't you come to see me? In a few weeks time, holiday will begin for me; so why don't we spend it in my mansion? You know, the one with all the forests, near the sea?'
At first, Miyuki couldn't believe what she was hearing, but then it came to her: Shizuma wanted to see her!
She wasn't able to fight off the gigantic smile that spreaded across her face.
'Yes, I would be happy to do so!'

I couldn't sleep due to some crazy lunitics playing loud music untill 3 o'clock in the morning, so I decided to write the next chapter, I hope you liked it.
Please let me know what you think of it.
Thanks for the reviews!
Disclaimer; If I owned Strawberry Panic, I would've thousands of screaming fans at my door, threatening to make another series of Strawberry Panic. And considering I'm still alive and I have no-one trying to force his/her/it way through my door, I'd say I didn't make the series. Try the neighbours, perhaps you've got more luck there XD
