A/N: Hello! Phew! I thought I'll not be able to update it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Mai Hime and also the song 'Why can't it be' by 3rd avenue.
"I met her on the first day of my life being high school student." Natsuki said as she stares at the moon. "She was lost since she was new here in Fuuka that time."
"Ah, so what happen then?" Akish ask curiously.
"Can you please show me the way to the teacher's office?" Shizuru ask. "I just need to get my schedule."
"Uhm sure, why not?" Natsuki answered.
"Ookini Kuga-san" shizuru said while smiling.
"You're from Kyoto?" natsuki ask while raising her left eyebrow.
"Ara, you notice? Well yes I am Kuga-san." Shizuru answered.
"Ah, please drop the formality. You can just call me natsuki, I don't want people call me by my last name."
"Ara, very well then natsuki-san," shizuru said. "Just call me shizuru to be fair."
"Okay shizuru-san." Natsuki smiled.
----◘◘----
After walking for a couple minutes, natsuki and shizuru finally arrived at the teacher's office.
"I'll wait here." Natsuki said while opening the door for shizuru.
"Ookini again natsuki-san." Shizuru said as she entered the room.
While waiting for shizuru, natsuki decided to look outside the window since the window was just few steps away from her. It's still early, it's exact 7 am when she looked to her watch. 'I wonder where mai is. She's still not showing here in school.' Natsuki thought.
Suddenly, she was interrupted by the sound of a door opening. She turns around to see shizuru staring at her.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" she asks while smiling. "Is there dirt in my face?"
Shizuru let a small chuckle. "Nothing it's just you're very serious." She said. "Mind if I ask you why?"
"It's okay," natsuki said. "I was just thinking where my friend is. She still hasn't showing until now."
"Ah, maybe you're friend is looking for you too." shizuru said.
"If she is, let her find me. Anyways, we have the same schedule." Natsuki said as she winks to shizuru. "We only have one subject which is we're not together."
"Ah, by the way, sorry for waiting so long." Shizuru said.
"It's okay." Natsuki said. "So you got the schedule?"
"Hai." Shizuru nods.
"Can I look?" natsuki said.
"Sure." shizuru said as she gave the paper to natsuki.
After reading all, natsuki's eyes widen. "Wow! You have all subjects in my schedule!"
"Really?"
----◘◘----
Since the first day, natsuki was always seen with shizuru. They become bestfriend until they become sophomore to the last school year of their high school life. Until one day when they're second year…
"Hi natsuki!" said by a running shizuru while trying to catch natsuki who is walking.
Natsuki heard it. Her eyes widen and in what reason, her heart started to beat faster. Why is that? She asks to herself then she turn around to see shizuru. "H-hi shizuru!" natsuki said as she smiled while feeling so nervous. Why am I so nervous? She asks again. After greeting she can now clearly see shizuru. She saw there's something dirt on shizuru face. She didn't know what to do.
"Natsuki?" shizuru's smiling face replace by a concern expression. "What's wrong?"
"Huh? Me? Nothing's wrong!" Natsuki immediately said as she pulled her blue-purple stripes handkerchief. "Here, take this handkerchief. There's dirt on your face."
"Ookini. I really run so I can walk together with you to the dorm." Shizuru said while smiling. "Hey, I love your handkerchief, purple is my favorite color. And it's beautiful to be partner with blue."
Natsuki felt so flattered. "Really? Actually, blue is my favorite color." Natsuki said trying to be cool. "And that handkerchief is my favorite. But since you love it, it's yours now."
"Really natsuki? Ookini!" shizuru said as she hugs natsuki.
When shizuru hugged her, she was surprise as her begun to race. 'Wow, I never felt this good before.' Natsuki thought. When shizuru pull apart, natsuki felt cold. She wants shizuru's hug again.
"Wait natsuki," shizuru said seriously then natsuki stop. "You're blushing!" shizuru chuckled.
'She's so beautiful even she's sweaty. And the way she laughs, it's very cute.' Natsuki thought. "I'm not blushing!" she denied.
"So who's this lucky person?" shizuru ask as they started to walk again.
"Huh?" natsuki ask innocently.
"You know what I mean."
'Wait! Am I in love to her? Oh my god! It can't be!' "No lucky person. It's very cold so it's natural for me to blush." Natsuki said confidently.
"Oh you're right, it's winter. My favorite day is coming in two days!" shizuru said.
Natsuki's eyes widen. She remembers shizuru's birthday is coming. "Alright! I'm gonna find the perfect gift for your birthday for my beautiful bestfriend!"
Bestfriend. Natsuki felt a pain when she said that two words. Yeah, they're just bestfriend. And she knows that shizuru would never feel the same way too as she look down. But she saw shizuru blushed when she said beautiful. "Don't blush. It's true that you're beautiful."
----◘◘----
Time had passed and they're now on the last year of life being a high school student. Many had change and natsuki's feelings for shizuru started grew and develop. Let's just say that natsuki is in love secretly to shizuru. Shizuru was really a beautiful girl since the first day they met but natsuki just find out her feelings for shizuru when they're junior. Shizuru become more beautiful than ever that's why every boys and girls are in love on her. She becomes famous on school as well natsuki. Natsuki become handsome and cute. The school called them "The prince and the princess of Fuuka" Because of always seeing them together.
Shizuru and natsuki become the president and vice president of the student council. They are great at it. Everyone loved them not only because of their appearance but also to their kindness and being smartest.
"But natsuki," shizuru said desperately. "I can't do it without you, you know."
"Oi, oi. I don't want to go to stage just to advertise myself to them you know." Natsuki said while crossing her arms as her eyes close.
"But…"
"No buts shizuru."
*sniff*…*sniff*…*sniff*…
"Shizuru?" natsuki said as she open her left eye to see a crying shizuru while sitting on the floor of her dorm. Natsuki open her eyes as she sits on her feet then hugged shizuru.
"Shh…okay, okay shizuru. I'll go with you." she said while rubbing her right hand to shizuru's back.
"Really? *sniff* But you said *sniff* you don't want? *sniff*" shizuru said between her cries.
"Shh…I already told you that I will do it right?" natsuki said. "So stop crying now."
"*sniff* O…kay*sniff*" shizuru answered.
"You're such a crying baby shizuru." Natsuki said. "Who always need someone to make you happy."
'And I wish I am the one who make you happy.' natsuki thought.
But everything had changed when a young boy named Reito Kanzaki entered their lives. He was like a mini natsuki. Reito was handsome and gentleman too that's why every girls wants her. He was the new prince of Fuuka except to natsuki. Like others, he likes shizuru too and that's what makes natsuki's blood boiled. Natsuki's heart broke when she found that shizuru agreed to court by reito. But seeing how happy shizuru is, she pretended that she's happy for shizuru.
----◘◘----
"Hey natsuki, I heard Fujino-san finally agreed to be reito's girlfriend." Chie said to natsuki while they're taking their lunch on the cafeteria. "That boy was really lucky."
Natsuki froze and felt a big pain in her heart. Her grip to chopstick becomes tighter until it broke. Chie look at natsuki in confuse. She should be happy right now, right? She asks.
Then natsuki stood up and ran away leaving a confuse chie.
----◘◘----
Natsuki was sitting on the corner of the empty music room. She was crying for half hours. She couldn't believe on what she heard.
She just wants to die right now from the pain she have.
She doesn't want to live seeing her with somebody else.
She felt like the pain is killing her slowly.
"Why it is love is so unfair?" she asks to no one.
"Why?!" she scream on the top of her lungs.
No one can hear her since the music room is sound proof. She can scream no matter how loud it is without knowing or hearing by other people outside. She saw a piano. She stood up and wipes her tears as she walks towards to the piano. She started to play the piano as she sing.
You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world
Oh baby please don't get me wrong
'Cause I'm not complaining
But you see, you got my mind spinning
She closes her eyes as she sings.
Why can't it be?
Why can't it be the two of us?
Why can't we be lovers?
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me
Baby I dream of you every minute
You're in my dreams
You're always in it
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours
Only till I wake up
A tear rolled down on her face as she continues to sing.
Why can't it be?
Why can't it be the two of us?
Why can't we be lovers?
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
You came along at the wrong place
At the wrong time
Or was it me
Why can't it be...?
As she stood up and leave the music room.
"Ah, we have the same story aside from being so smart and being student council officers." Akish said.
"Really?" natsuki ask.
"Yeah anyways, why don't we get back to the party?" akish said. "Don't worry about seeing shizuru and that reito."
"Okay, but are you sure?"
"Yep, so leave that beer of yours before someone caught you drinking that." Akish said as she stood up.
"Okay," natsuki said as she stood up and left the beer. "It's best if you could meet the rest of the gang."
"Well, I'm exited." Akish said happily.
