If Only the Fairytale

Chapter 4

Shizuru sighed. Lately, things with Natsuki had been strained. It worried her. She could tell that it was bothering the younger girl. Natsuki deserved someone better.

Looking at the papers in frontof her, she frowned. Was it worth it? To leave Fuka. To leave Natsuki. Maybe a separation was what they needed.

Then again, maybe it wasn't.

"Thanks again for the help Reito-san," Mai smiled.

"Anytime Mai-san." He smiled as well.

Mikoto frowned.

Nao grumbled, seeing the pink haired girl moving towards her. That girl didn't seem to be able to take no for an answer. What did she have to do? Threaten bodily harm? Hopefully not.

"Hello Nao."

She had no right to greet her like that.

"I said hello."
Fine. Let the girl have it her way. She sneered, "Hello..." She stopped, realizing that she didn't know the girl's last name. And there was no way that she'd use the first. "You have a last name?"

"Kazahana."

"Huh." Wasn't that the Director's name? Had to be a coincidence...Of course, it may not have been.

"Hello...Kazahana-san."

The other girl smiled. "Call me Sakuya."

"I think I'll stick with Kazahana-san."

Sakuya smirked. "Now you're just being difficult."

Nao felt her face grow hot. "W-Whatever."

"I figured that you were the best person to talk to," Mikoto mumbled.

"I understand what you're going through."

"But what can I do?"

She'd rarely seen the younger girl so serious.Then again, this was a serious matter. "Have you told her how you feel? Or at least hinted?"

The dark-haired girl nodded in affirmative. "I've told Mai many times that I love her. It's just that she thinks of me as a child. I wish I could be grown-up already."

Shizuru sighed. "Tokiha-san doesn't seem to realize then, that your feelings aren't platonic, but romantic."

"But can I do to make her understand?" Desperation filled Mikoto's voice.

"You tell her. All you need to do is tell her."

She felt...different. She wasn't sure how to explain it.

Natsuki slowly sat up, her body aching. Looking around, it took her a moment to realize where she was. Her room, nothing to be worried about.

She'd...It was hard to remember. She'd...fallen. Had she hit her head? Possibly. It certainly felt like she had.

She wanted to see Shizuru. Yes, that's what she wanted. She wanted Shizuru, the way Shizuru wanted her. Why had it been so hard to admit before?

Natsuki smiled. She needed to hit her head more often if doing that made everything clear.

She knew what she wanted, now all she needed to do was go and get it.

Oy! I was getting ready to update this, when I noticed that chapter four had been posted...and chapter three hadn't! Sorry about that everyone.
