Chapter 3

You

*Ding

Dong!

"hey Natsuki! You ready?" A familiar voice was yelling on the other side of the main door.

"Just a sec.!" Natsuki replied, mentally cursing herself.

Natsuki grabbed her stuff and rushed to the main door and opened it. There, was her best friend Mai, who's wearing a cherry-red Gucci dress paired with silver wedges.

"How do I look? Mai asked naughtily twirling her Prada glasses on her right hand.

"You look positively ravishing my friend! Natsuki answered honestly, as her eyes travelling up and down into Mai's.

"Well, you ready? Let's go then! I'll drive!" with that the two entered Mai's car.

Their cruise was not that long. The party's venue was in the heart of Tokyo, not too far from the Kugas' residence. Which is only about more or less 15 minutes drive along the high way.

The car stopped at the newly opened fancy club. A young man dressed in black designer pants, white T-shirt and dinner jacket hurried up to open the car door.

Natsuki checked herself, making sure that her backless peacock-blue Dior dress was zipped to the waist. As the two of them were making their way to the entrance door of the club, the new bouncer blocked their way in. "May I see your invitation ladies?" He asked as he stretched out his bulging arm.

"Here you go big boy" Mai said holding a small red card.

The bouncer stepped aside and let the two passed as he opened the fancy big front doors of the bar. "Please enjoy your night ladies"

Mai and Natsuki entered the glowing place, red, green and blue strobe lights greeted them. They headed toward the crowded main dance floor. Mai noticed a young man as she looked up at the second floor. The man was talking to the DJ.

"There he is!" Mai pointed the guy as she grabbed Natsuki making their way to the DJ booth.

The said guy in black Armani Polo shirt seemed to noticed them and he rushed forward to their direction.

"Hey babe, glad to see you! You look stunning! I love it." He shouted over the throbbing punch of the club's sound system. "Who's with you?" he continued.

"Oh, my best friend. Natsuki Kuga, Seiko Kuga's daughter." Mai yelled back.

"Really? Cool! I'm Reito Kanzaki by the way." He extended his hands as he introduced himself to Natsuki. "Why don't you go up to the VIP lounge, I'll just go grabbed you girls a drink."

Natsuki followed Mai as they moved their way to the second floor which serves as the VIP lounge in the club. They make themselves comfortable as they sprawled on a red couch.

"Is he the owner ?" Natsuki asked.

"Yep, and my boyfriend." Mai replied with a grin on her face.

"whow, and you didn't introduced him to me properly, where's our friendship Mai? Where'd it go? Wait, you said you just met him yesterday right? You should tell me something I don't know!" Natsuki whined.

"Hey there, I got your drinks ladies!" Reito interrupted as he sat beside Mai, making Natsuki moved a bit farther, giving more space to her friend ant its boyfriend.

"Natsuki? Right? My mom's a big fan of your mom, guess I should tell her my girl's bestfriend was the daughter of Seiko, she would be happy." Reito said starting the conversation. "Your friend is really amazing!" he continued referring to Mai who was busy rummaging her bag.

Natsuki smiled as she can see that her friend found someone, someone who may live with her through the rest of her life. She reached for her glass and took a sip her drink. Accidentally a man bumped her causing the liquid to spill over her.

"Ohh! Shit! I'm so sorry Miss." The man apologized sincerely. Natsuki mentally cursed the man yet she remained compassionate.

"Uhmm, it's okay, I'm fine." She said wiping her soaked dress with a tissue.

Natsuki excused herself make her way to the ladies room in the VIP lounge. It room was smaller compared to the one downstairs. It has only two cubicles and a mirror not soo big was mounted on the wall over the sink. Natsuki pulled a lot of tissue in the tissue box and started wiping her ruined dress. She pulled her compact powder and applied some foundation on her face. She checked her phone for any calls or messages from her mother or whosoever.

She continued wiping and drying her dress when a red haired woman came in. She was wearing a short hot pink dress. The girl seemed to be very drunk and her hair was a mess. The said girl moved her way to the sink, Natsuki watched her next move curiously. The girl turned the faucet on and washed her face. The redhead was so weak that it can't hardly stand properly.

Natsuki was about to leave the ladies room when she noticed the girl fell on the floor. "Oi! You alright?" Natsuki helped the girl to stand up.

"Geez... I-I'm fine" the girl replied weakly.

Natsuki rolled her eyes and carried the girl on her shoulders and the two managed to make their way out of the club, passing the wild dancing crowd.

"seriously, you're heavy and your breath stinks!" Natsuki commented as they got out the club. She managed to help the girl sat on a bench outside the club.

"I-I think I wanna p-puke."

Before Natsuki's brain could internalize what the redhead's blabbing about, it blew up its chunks on her dress.

What the! ARRGHHH! Could this night gets any better?

"Mom, is Nao home? I haven't seen her since yesterday morning." A certain brunette asked her mom as she made her towards a woman in her late 40's who was sitting in a bar stool at their house's mini bar. "It's almost 1 am, I'm kinda worried about her." She continued with concern imprinted in her lovely face.

"You know your sister, she's always like that, wonder when will she stop acting like that and make her life productive." Her mom replied with a sigh.

" Can't sleep? Want some hot milk? I could make you some, they're good." The brunette offered.

"Oh Shizuru, I'm so happy that I had a daughter like you, that's why me and your dad did everything just to keep you with us." Her mother said with a teary eyes. "How I wish your sister was like you."

Shizuru hugged her mother, she definitely enjoyed the warmth and the comforting smell of her mother. "I love you mom" she whispered.

"I love you too sweetie, now go to sleep, it's definitely not good for working ladies to stay up late."

"K, good night mom." She kissed her mom good night and she went up to her room and there she laid, as her tires eyes closing slowly.

This new morning, I'm gonna make use of it to find the missing piece of me and fill up this emptiness.

Last night Natsuki went home early due the accident she met. Her dress was ruined and a stranger puked on her. She cursed everything at that night, she feels that it wasn't her night. What's worst here is that she can't let the drunk stranger be alone outside the bar. So what she did, she brought the drunk woman to her place.

"How was your girl my Nat-chan?" her mom teased her as she sat beside her mom.

"What are you talking about mom, I didn't know that woman. I just brought her here coz she might be raped or something if I left her outside the bar." Natsuki barked.

"Whatever you say my dear, come have breakfast with me." Her mom demanded. " but why so concerned about her? I mean you can leave her alone in the restroom's floor, that'll teach her a lesson for sure."

Natsuki sipped her hot coffee and took a bite of her sandwich. "Maybe because I had a kind heart." She joked.

"Yeah right my child, by the way I heard Mai had a new boyfriend, yes?"

The cobalt haired woman almost got chocked on her food. "How'd you know?" she asked curiously.

"Gossips! They're faster than F-19's you know." Her mom answered never leaving it's eyes on the newspaper.
