Shizuru's New Friend
Chapter Four: Dreaming of You
"Is Natsuki jealous?" Shizuru teased, her smile threatening to grow even wider. Macey just listened, though she wasn't really listening to the words; she was listening to the tone of the voice talking. That was were the real words were being spoken.
"Ara. She is just a friend I met here in America. There is no need for Natsuki to worry about me. I'm fine." she assured her best friend. Shizuru seemed to hesitate for a moment. Macey suddenly found herself glancing at the older girl at the hesitation.
"I love you, Natsuki." she spoke suddenly. There was a short pause before she hung up. Shizuru felt like sighing, but it was too early in the morning for that. Besides, with no tea she just didn't have the energy. So she settled for closing her eyes instead. Guessing the older woman could use some personal time Macey stood up from the floor, "I'm gonna go find Grace. I'm sure you can't wait to get out of here."
Before the chestnut haired woman could say anything Macey slipped on her shoes and was out the door. A second later she poked her head back into the room with a sheepish smile, "I forgot to ask if you wanted anything."
"Green tea." she requested with a smile. The dirty blonde haired girl nodded, "Of course."
Once Macey was gone Shizuru's thoughts drifted back to Natsuki. She knew the girl had trouble expressing her feelings. Maybe she was pushing the younger woman too hard. Then again maybe she wasn't pushing her hard enough. She just didn't know exactly where she stood when it came to her beloved. Hopefully some tea would help clear her mind; after all she had to think about the business-type party Saki's father would be throwing tomorrow. The ruby eyed woman looked around the room. She never cared for the hospital. It always seemed so depressing and smelled like cleaning supplies.
"Hello, Shizuru." Grace broke through her thoughts.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Grace-san." she smiled back pleasantly, reverting to her native tongue subconsciously. Grace's smile never faded as she continued, "You can sign the papers today and you'll be able to leave."
"Thank you, Grace-san for you assistance." the younger of the two bowed her head. Grace just nodded, leaving the room so she could get the release forms ready. After she was gone Shizuru put on her kimono. She was done with this task by the time Macey opened the door while balancing a tray with a mug and a kettle of tea on it in one hand. The brown eyed girl closed the door with her foot with a laugh, "You know when I was little I would practice being a waitress because I always thought I'd be one by the time I turned sixteen."
She held the tray up with one hand with a smile an experienced waitress would envy. She placed the tray on the table besides the bed. Macey poured some tea into the mug with that same grin on her face, "Your tea, miss. I'm dreadfully sorry it took so long, but not many people ask for this type of tea around here."
"Ara. Does Macey want to be an entertainer when she grows up?" Shizuru teased, taking the cup from her gingerly. Macey rolled her eyes at the 'when she grows up' part of her statement, then shook her head, "I'm just good at making people smile and after that conversation it seemed like you needed a smile."
"So you understood?" the crimson eyed woman quizzed before sipping her tea. Macey smiled childishly, "I did tell you I watch too much anime."
"Yes, I suppose you did." Shizuru sipped more of her tea. A content smile spread across her face from the familiar taste. Granted it wasn't the way she made it, but it would do for now.
"So, are they releasing you from this more-like-a-prison-than-a-place-to-heal hospital?" she quizzed while picking up her phone, changing the subject seamlessly. Scrolling down she saw no one had called her. It would seem no one wanted to talk to her, then again maybe that was a good thing.
"I will be allowed to leave after I sign the papers." Shizuru informed before she sipped her tea some more.
"Yes!" she heard Macey celebrate, "If it were me they would have kept me to run some tests to try to find out what planet I came from. Even Mamma isn't completely sure that I'm from this world."
Placing her index finger against her chin, there was a short moment of thought, "I think I'd like to be from Pluto." she nodded, "Yeah, Pluto. Cold like me." she mused to herself as she waited for the other girl to finish her drink.
"Oh, I don't think Macey is so cold." Shizuru smiled to which Macey smirked, "That's because you haven't seen me at my worst yet. You only just met me you'll see. I can be very icy."
Five cups of tea and a few signed papers later a very impatient teen stalked out of the hospital, twirling a set of keys around her index finger. A very relaxed and calm looking Shizuru followed in amusement. Suddenly Macey stopped at a silver Isuzu Rodeo. The teen smiled at it fondly.
"You can drive?" Shizuru's eyes slightly widened in surprise. Macey rolled her eyes as she got in, "Gee, don't look so surprised. Yes, I can drive. Been knowing how since I was nine. Besides I told you yesterday I'm seventeen."
"Oh, right. I forgot; you look younger." the older woman hesitated before getting in slowly. Her calm mask was back in place by the time she put on her seat belt. The brown eyed girl brought the horses to life with a satisfied smile.
"Why do you ride your bike to school if you can drive?" the other asked curiously, eyes trying not to dart everywhere.
"With the prices of gas these days? And when you only get forty dollars a week. Besides I only live about five miles from school." she practically snorted as she backed out carefully. She glanced at Shizuru before putting it in drive, "Would you relax already? I've driven a hundred times before I'm not about to get in a wreck."
Shizuru nodded, though her ruby orbs stayed focused on the road ahead of them. The similarities between Natsuki and Macey were unnerving so far, and Shizuru could only hope they didn't drive the same. At least when they were on Natsuki's motorcycle she had the leisure of holding onto the biker girl. In a car there was on holding onto to someone or slipping between cars if they were going too fast to stop.
"So where is the hotel you're staying at?" the nearly distant sound of Macey's sighed, "Great. You don't mind if we stop by my house first do you?"
"Not at all." she shook her head. Much to Shizuru's delight Macey was following the speed limit and being a safe driver. This allowed her to relax a bit. Maybe twenty minutes later the silver vehicle pulled into the driveway of a yellow house on the outskirts of town. A green caravan was parked under the carport.
"Mommy's home." Macey pointed out the obvious to herself. Killing the engine she slipped out of the car quickly. The Kyoto native followed suit. A German Shepard ran up to the brown eyed teen happily wagging his tail. That is until he noticed the stranger, to him anyways, he started growling dangerously. Macey sighed, "Be a good boy, Spike. Please won't you be a good boy for me?"
She patted his head lovingly as he quieted down instantly. She smiled approvingly, "Such a good boy." she cooed. He barked in response, his tail wagging once more, before an American Eskimo came out of nowhere with a white rabbit in his mouth.
"What you go, Tundra?" she asked sweetly as she took the offered animal. He grinned up at her, proud of his catch. Spike made an attempt to snatch it, but Macey slapped his muzzle, "No, Tun caught it. He gets to keep it."
She gave it back to the shorter dog, who looked more like a wolf, and trotted off somewhere. The brown eyed half Cajun smiled, motioning for Shizuru to follow her into the house. Once inside another dog greeted them, this time a Chihuahua. Macey laughed, "Calm down, Pecan you act like you haven't seen me in years."
She stepped aside for the sturdy short hair whose coloring matched that of the nut he was named after run outside to tell everyone she was home. The dark green walls and red trim of the living room matched the green carpet and red furniture. Macey shut the door promptly kicking off her shoes, instructing, "Make yourself at home."
Shizuru also slipped off her shoes just as a woman walked into the living room wearing a pink tank top and blue jean shorts. Her eyes were very similar to Macey's though her short, reddish brown hair was different from the girl's, "You look like you slept at the hospital." she teased the teen in a Cajun accent that matched Macey's own accent.
"Ha ha." she rolled her eyes sarcastically, "Yeah that was really funny. This Shizuru." she introduced, "Shizuru this is my mother, Pamela."
"It's nice to meet you." her mother smiled, "Just call me Pam."
"You may call me Shizuru." the younger woman smiled back.
"Mommy, I'm going to have to miss school tomorrow to go to a party being hosted by one of Shizuru's coworkers." Macey informed, trying to distract her. Pamela turned to look at her oldest child, "That's fine, but I need you to watch Dylan and Kasidy tonight. You don't mind cooking, do you?"
"When do I ever mind?" Macey smiled though it seemed forced, "Why am I watching them?"
"Tim called." the brown eyed woman answered. Macey's face turned into a frown only for a second before a smile replaced it. It would seem Macey also knew how to wear a mask. Why didn't Shizuru notice before? Perhaps it was the lack of tea. Yes, that must be it.
"He wants to try to work things out." she explained. Macey's expression never changed as she nodded, "I hope it works out how you want it to."
With that she pivoted on her heels to walk out of the room. She came back moments later with some clothes in her hands, "If you want to freshen up you can use the bathroom."
Her voice didn't crack once and her eyes seemed to hide the pain she was feeling pretty well. They didn't dare speak the opposite of what her smile was saying, so they turned blank. That sounded like a good idea, "Yes, thank you."
"Your very welcome." she smiled a very small smile. Macey showed her where the bathroom was just before they heard her mother call throughout the house, "May, come help me with these sticks!"
"Coming!" she called back, "Slave driver." she whispered in a much lower tone, "Always wanting something." she complained as she closed the door behind her. Shizuru chuckled to herself at her friend's reactions. This week was going to be interesting. It didn't take her long to finish her shower. Once done she wondered outside, following the sounds of wood hitting wood to the backyard. Behind the house Macey was standing on a fallen log as her mom threw some chunks of wood to, though it looked more like at, her.
Upon realizing they weren't the only two out there anymore the brown eyed teen turned to face her. She smiled at her, "Glad to see you and Mom are the same size."
Indeed Shizuru was wearing one of Pam's purple t-shirts and a pair of black pants.
"Stop chit-chatting before I hit you with this one." her mother voiced from behind. This prompted a sarcastic bow from her daughter, "Yes, Master." she spoke in a low, hurried, yet sarcastic, tone. Suddenly the large piece of wood that had only a moment ago been in Pamela's hands was now making its way to Macey.
"Eep." the target squeaked as she spun to the side to narrowly dodge the object.
"Always so meant to me." she pouted, jumping off of the log since that was the last one. The short haired woman just waved her off without a word. She was about to walk off into the house when a growl stopped her in her tracks. Shizuru and Pam turned to the blushing girl, "What?" she asked slightly offended.
"Nothing." her mom shook her head in amusement, "It's just I was wondering when you were going to eat."
After that little scene and the two cleaned up, Pam now in a blue t-shirt and blue jeans; Macey in an orange sleeveless hoodie, black pants, and a black cap, the three of them went eat at the Chinese restaurant in town.
"This place has the greatest..." Macey was happily telling Shizuru when her voice tapered off. Curiously Shizuru's eyes traced Macey's gaze to a table where a man was sitting. The younger girl's eyes narrowed into slits, "Why is he here?" her words ice cold.
"He wanted to meet me for lunch." was the simple answer. Macey grumbled something under her breath about not bringing her Rodeo. She inhaled, exhaled to calm herself. Then her smile appeared, "Don't worry I'll play nice as long as he does."
A sigh escaped her mother's lips before they walked over to meet him. He stood up to greet Pamela with a smile, "Hey, Baby."
He was nearly two heads taller than the woman, wearing a gray shirt, brown boots, and blue jean pants. When he noticed the other two his smile nearly fell, "Why isn't she in school?"
Macey was about to say something about addressing her like she wasn't there and that it was none of his business, but her mother cut her off, "She had to help me with something."
"And you are?" he addressed Shizuru. She thought it was rude for him to ask for her name without giving up his, not that she showed it, "Fujino, Shizuru."
"I'm Pam's husband, Tim Liles." he informed, shaking her hand. His hazel eyes lingered longer than it should have, as did the eyes of the rest of the people in the business. She felt like slapping him, thankfully Macey intervened, "Why don't we go fix our plates?"
She caught a nearby waitress, "Can we get a coke, green tea, and two pairs of chopsticks?"
"Yes." she smiled before going off to get the requested items. Shizuru gave her a curious look while tilting her head slightly to the right, "Ara. I didn't know Macey could use chopsticks."
"Yep. I'm so talented I can even use my left hand to eat with them." she commented proudly. Once everyone was seated and eating Shizuru had to admit Macey knew how to use a pair of chopsticks as she showed off by eating her noodles with her left hand.
"Hey, Macey." Tim's voice drifted over to her.
"Hm?" she didn't bother looking at him. Shizuru heard Pam mumble an, "Oh, no."
"What's wrong with using this?" she glanced over at him to see he was holding us his fork to clarify just what 'this' was. She finished slurping her noodle into her mouth, "Nothing. I use one at home all the time. What's wrong with being cultural?" she countered calmly. He just shook his head, "Nothing."
The rest of the thirty minutes spent eating was filled with tension between the teen and the man. Tim paid for the meal, reluctantly. Outside Pamela announced she was going somewhere with Tim to talk things over. That meant Macey would drive home in the minivan, cook dinner, and wait for her mother to get home before dropping Shizuru off at her hotel.
"This day is going by so slowly." Macey sighed as she slipped into the driver's seat tiredly.
"I agree." Shizuru nodded before changing the subject, "Do you have anything to wear for tomorrow?"
"I don't own a dress if that's what you're asking." the shorter girl smiled as she pulled out onto the road. That's when she noticed a glint in the older girl's eyes. The cheese lover let out a groan, switching lanes, "I hate shopping."
Pulling into the parking lot of a mall that was about thirty minutes away from the small town Macey let a semi-horrified expression cross her face. She contemplated turning around, but Shizuru was already out the van. Maybe she could leave the older girl there. No, she wasn't that mean, was she? Taking the keys out of the ignition she led the way into the building. Upon making it inside everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at the two, well mainly Shizuru. Macey shifted uncomfortably under the stares.
"Come on." Macey ushered the crimson eyed woman. Unfortunately for her Fate decided to play a joke on her.
"Macey!" she heard a familiar voice call her name. Both girls turned to see a boy in his late-teens walking towards them. His brown hair swaying slightly and his blue eyes smiled at them. He draped his arm around Macey's shoulders, successfully pulling her into a semi-headlock.
"What do you want, Devon?" she asked in clear annoyance. Her shoulders hung as best they could.
"Who's your friend?" he eyed Shizuru careful to take in every detail. Seeing the shorter girl handled this way bothered Shizuru for some reason. She wasn't sure why, but she felt like she had known the girl her whole life. It was one of those friendships that just clicked right away.
"You can't ask her yourself?" the brown eyed girl retorted, though she answered anyway, "Her name is Shizuru."
"Shizuru, huh?" he echoed thoughtfully. Macey snorted, "That's what I said. Now let me go."
Devon seemingly ignored the teen under his grasp as he directed his next comment at Shizuru, "So you got plans tonight?"
"Actually." she began to answer, pulling Macey to her side, "We have something planned tonight." Well it wasn't exactly a lie. They knew how the rest of their day would be, thanks to Macey.
"Then tomorrow?" man he was persistent. The oldest of the three had to keep herself from twitching in annoyance. Shizuru shook her head, "I'm sorry, but we have a date tomorrow night."
"What?" the other two asked in surprise. Both of their mouths were ajar at the declaration. Macey's face was as bright as Rudolph's nose while Devon just stared at her, "I'm sorry. I didn't kn-"
"Me neither." Macey cut him off pulling her cap over her face as best she could. She grabbed Shizuru's wrist roughly dragging the older girl towards a nearby clothing store. The crimson eyed beauty waved back at the boy clad in green, smiling.
Five dresses and three shirt/skirt outfits Macey was trying on her sixth dress, and hoped it would be the last. Shizuru was sitting in one of the chairs provided for people waiting for other people to finish dressing. Passersby were glancing at her ever so often, hoping she would leave the teen in the dressing room and they'd have a chance.
"Do I have to come out?" came a while from Macey's room.
"Yes." Shizuru answered curtly. Over their short visit the chestnut haired woman had learned that Macey was very self-conscious about her body and didn't like things that showed off her figure. Of course those were just the kind of outfits Shizuru had picked for her. So now Macey was going to have to come out wearing the dress or in her underclothes cause Shizuru had her other clothes neatly folded next to her chair. The clicking sound of the door handle turning made Shizuru look up. Everyone stopped to stare, but this time at the teen stepping out from behind the door instead of the Kyoto native.
All the looks made the girl clad in a red form fitting dress blush deeply. The v-neck dress's sleeves stopped at her elbows, the dress itself falling to her ankles with a slit in the right side that went up to her thigh. Feeling uncomfortable under the stares, she turned her head to the side, causing her soft hair to pool over her shoulders.
"Ara. Macey's face is as red as her dress." Shizuru teasingly smiled with her closed. Macey side glanced at her, but didn't say anything about the teasing, "Can I change now? I fell... awkward."
"Of course." the other nodded handing her the pile of clothes. Without a word the dirty blonde haired girl walked back into the room to change. Moments later she came back out, happily in her regular clothes. Shizuru took the dress from her, "I rather like this one."
Macey rolled her eyes, "Yeah, but you don't have to wear it."
Shizuru just smiled at her as they made their way to the cash register. When Shizuru took out her wallet from her purse Macey grabbed her wrist, "What are you doing?"
"Paying for it?" Shizuru blinked, wondering if she had done something wrong.
"You don't have to. I can pay for it." she never did like charity and she wasn't about to start now. Crimson eyes smiled, "Think of it as a thank you for yesterday."
The teen pouted, but excepted the explanation. As they walked out the store Shizuru said something that made Macey blanch, "Now for the shoes."
Finally being able to go home an hour later Macey was greeted with two kids waiting for her on the porch.
"Mabey's home!" the girl with short red hair and hazel eyes exclaimed happily. She tackled the older girl into a hug while the boy just put his hands on his hips, "Where have you been? What took you so long? And who's she?"
"None of your business, none of your business, and none of your business." she answered before Shizuru smiled, "My name's Shizuru. You must be Dylan, correct?"
"Y-yes." the twelve year old blushed at her stare. Macey unlocked the door, kicked off her shoes, and walked to the kitchen.
"What to cook? What to cook?" Macey opened the refrigerator. Her voice made its' way to the living room, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Three cheese taco salad!" the children cried. Macey tapped her chin, "Yeah, alright. Easy enough."
Her little sister entered the girl's domain, "Mabey I'm hungry now."
"You want some cereal, Kasidy?" Macey smiled at her. Kasidy nodded, "Yes, please."
Macey fixed her some cereal before pulling a pot out of the cabinet. Soon Dylan was sitting at the table eating cereal with his younger sister, both watching TV.
"Mabey?" Shizuru quizzed in amusement. Macey nodded slowly, taking the ground beef out of the freezer, putting it in the heating pot, "When she was little she couldn't say Macey and she has yet to."
She continued to work, chopping tomatoes and stirring the meat. Shizuru couldn't help but think Macey reminded her of a busy mother. After the two younger siblings finished off their snack they decided to bother Shizuru with questions about why she was with their sister and couldn't pass up the chance to tell stories about said sibling.
"Macey?" Dylan ventured when he went to grab some cokes out the fridge, "Where's Mom?"
He seemed almost nervous of her answer. She asked softly, "Where do you think she is?"
"With him again?" he growled. Macey nodded as her answer. He sighed in anger, "This is so stupid."
He stormed off back into the living room to hand out the cokes. Kasidy took it slowly, "Is something wrong, Brother?"
"Mom's with Tim again." he seethed. She looked down at the homework on the coffee table, "Oh."
"You three don't like him?" Shizuru wanted confirmation. Dylan nodded, "He's an asshole."
"Dylan, I told you not to curse." Macey scolded from the threshold connecting the dining room and living room. He whirled around to face her, "But he is and Mom's too stupid to see that!"
"It doesn't matter it's her decision to make." she shook her head.
"What about us? You're seventeen, Macey! You should be out with your friends, not taking care of her kids!" he couldn't control his temper, "You're more of a mother to us than she is!"
"You shouldn't say that." Macey turned from them, "Food's ready."
"It's true though." Kasidy sighed, following her peeved brother to the table where the food awaited.
"This is really good." Shizuru complimented. It was excellent in fact. Macey gave her an embarrassed smile, "I'm glad you like it."
"It's the best." Dylan grinned, "You should also try her roman noodles."
"Yep. Mabey makes it best." Kasidy agreed, "Mom can't even cook it the way she does."
"It seems you two hold your sister in high regard." Shizuru smiled at them.
"Of course. She's like our second Mother." Kasidy smiled brightly at her older sister.
"More like our only Mother." Dylan muttered. The rest of the meal was spent in silence, after which their homework was finished with the help of the older girls. At eight she made them take a bath and they watched TV until ten when it was time for bed.
"Good night, Momma-" Dylan shook his head at his slip, "Macey, good night Macey. Love you."
"Good night, little brother. I love you, too." she closed the door behind her. She walked into Kasidy's room to tuck her in, even though the girl was eleven. She pulled the covers over her, leaning forward to kiss her forehead, "Good night, Kat. I love you."
"Good night, Mommy. And love you, too." Macey walked out with a soft sigh, closing the door. She went back into the living room where Shizuru was sitting on the couch. Macey plopped down beside her.
"Is today a normal day in the life of Macey?" Shizuru teased lightly.
"Yep." Macey stared up at the ceiling, "And the worst part is I don't know if it's unfortunate or not."
At ten thirty Pamela came home to find a mask bearing Macey smiling at her. By eleven thirty the Rodeo had made it to Shizuru's hotel.
"This has got to be the fanciest hotel I've ever been in." Macey awed at the building, "They usually don't let my kind in through the front door." Shizuru chuckled to herself at the statement.
"Do you want to come in?" she asked politely. Macey shook her head while trying, but unsuccessfully, to stifle a yawn, bringing her hand to her mouth. Shizuru looked at her with concern-filled eyes, "Ara. Macey shouldn't drive if she's tired. She could wreck on her way home."
"I guess." she conceded. Why was she so tired? The more she thought about it the more she blamed that darn love seat at the hospital. She pulled out her phone to call her mother inform her of the change in plans.
"Thank you for letting my stay." she took off her shoes and sat on the sofa. The room was so spacious, though it only had one bed.
"This place is awesome. It even has a kitchen." Macey looked around from her vantage point. Shizuru smiled at her before leaving to change in the bathroom. When she came back the teenager was already out of it on the sofa. The crimson eyed woman chuckled to herself at the sight. Turning out the lights she went to bed herself.
"Hey, Princess, wake up." Shizuru heard a familiar voice prompt her from her sleep. The husky voice sighed, "Shizuru, get out of bed."
Wait a minute, that voice sounded very familiar. Her red orbs were revealed to see green ones staring back at her.
"Finally. Did that ball last night tire you out that much?" she teased, "I would imagine since you wouldn't let Macey off of the dance floor."
Shizuru was pretty sure she wearing an expression that read, 'what?'. Natsuki laughed at her expression before the older girl finally found her voice, "Natsuki, what are you doing here? How do you know, Macey? And why are you wearing such funny clothes?" She pointed out the things that seemed unusual to her. The cobalt haired girl didn't seem to notice the strange differences as she answered, "I live here, she's my sister, and I always wear these clothes."
True her blue blouse and black pants weren't that unusual, but the black boots, and the fact that they looked like something out of the middle ages made them funny looking to Shizuru. She was so absorbed in the fact that Natsuki had just declared Macey her sister that she didn't notice the stone walls around her.
"Your sister and you do?" why was she so stuck on the clothes. She should be more interested about the former not the latter. Natsuki gave her a funny look before calling, "Macey, did you let her drink anything besides tea?"
"No, why?" Macey walked into the room wearing an outfit very similar to Natsuki's with the exception of a white blouse with long sleeves. She seemed different somehow.
"She's asking stupid questions." was the response. The dirty blonde shook her head, "I didn't see her drink anything other than tea."
"Are you feeling okay?" she asked worriedly, placing a hand on her forehead. "You feel fine." she reported, taker her hand away. She brought her hand to her chin thoughtfully, staring deeply into crimson eyes. She then smiled and kissed Shizuru's lips softly. Natsuki rolled her eyes while Shizuru's eyes went wide with surprise. It felt surprisingly soft and tender; it felt... right. The ringing of a bell broke the kiss.
"Damn! Come on before we're late." the Ice Queen tugged on the other girl's sleeve. She nodded, "Right."
"See you later, Shizuru." she announced before the two ran out of the room as fast as possible.
Shizuru's eyes flew open, sitting up in bed. Her hand touched her lips softly. She looked around and found the girl still on the sofa. Her arm and leg was hanging off the edge with her mouth slightly a gap. Nor was Natsuki anywhere around.
Omake:
Some random dude: Have you seen my rabbit?
Macey: About a foot tall, white with a gray tail?
SRD: Yep, you saw it!
Macey: (glancing at the animal Tundra was munching on) No, sorry.
Chapter 4 revised
