The newspaper glared solidly up at Natsuki, mocking the ivy eyed woman with its heading. Struggling against the handcuffs keeping her in her chair, Natsuki turned her eyes to the chestnut haired woman who was watching her intently. Shizuru saw the newspaper in the corner of her eye and picked it up, swinging it slowly in front of Natsuki.
"I take it my Natsuki did not really read this mornings paper?" Ruby eyes sparkled with mirth, while cold emerald eyes glared back. Opening the paper, Shizuru cleared her throat theatrically, and read aloud.
"'The Crimson Stalker strikes again, killing several including her obsession. Tomoe Marguerite, a successful CEO of her father's company, was found dead this morning, along with several body guards. In the investigation, police found several letters, all from the aptly dubbed 'Crimson Stalker'. Nicknamed such for her crimson eyes, it is the only part seen by anyone who has ever saw her and lived. Tomoe was being stalked by this woman, who is still at large, and had repeatedly refused to respond. The result lies in the pictures.'" Shizuru let the paper drop, and Natsuki's eyes widened at the grisly picture of the murder scene,
Natsuki forced her body to be still while violent shivers ran inside her. "What do you want with me?" Natsuki winced inwardly at her shaking voice, ashamed she couldn't keep a fearless front. Shizuru flashed a predatory grin, perfect white teeth beneath luscious lips. "I want you, my Nat-su-ki." Natsuki clenched her eyes shut, but her mind betrayed her with visualizations.
Shaking her head of such thoughts, a semi-blushed Natsuki glared up at Shizuru once more, only to find her inches away from her face. "Ah!" Natsuki jerked back on reflex, almost tipping her chair over in her movement, but Shizuru stabilized the older woman. "Natsuki should be more careful, she doesn't want to hurt her pretty face, does she?" Shizuru cooed into Natsuki's ear, and emerald eyes caught a flash of metal before Shizuru pressed the knife to her porcelain cheek.
The scent of lilacs registered in Natsuki's mind before she pressed her head back against the leather chair as far as it would go, but the knife only followed, barely grazing the skin. 'She is insane…I shouldn't have helped her…' Natsuki scolded herself before she realized Shizuru was talking. The blunette quickly tuned back in to the world around her.
Shizuru was looking to the paper once more, a smirk playing upon her lips. "'Nicknamed such for her crimson eyes.' Ara, we'll have to do something about that." Ruby eyes turned back to the pale girl, looking merry. "Maybe I should take Natsuki's eyes. She has the loveliest green eyes I have ever seen…"
As Shizuru pondered this, Natsuki took the time to panic, only inwardly this time. Lungs gone arctic, Natsuki sped through her mind for a way to get loose and escape. Shizuru seemed to notice the distress her words had caused her new 'friend', she quickly moved to comfort her.
"Natsuki, I would never take your eyes, I was merely teasing. They'll never catch me." Shizuru nodded to herself, congratulating herself for calming the blue haired woman down. Natsuki slumped in her chair, anything but comforted.
"Shizuru, was it?" Natsuki asked, and received a quick nod. "What exactly do you plan on doing with me?" Natsuki gestured to her handcuffed state, and Shizuru furrowed her brow before smoothing her face out in a smile.
Before emerald eyes could blink, the younger girl was straddling Natsuki, noses touching. "Ara ara, what do I plan to do to you? This…that…a few other choice things, to name a few." Shizuru smirked at the fierce blush she received. "Baka! That's not what I meant!" Natsuki shouted, causing Shizuru to lean back, cupping her ears, knife dangling from her left hand. Due to the fierce rain, the chestnut haired girls shirt had been soaked, and Natsuki could see right through it.
Gulping, Natsuki averted her eyes, but not before Shizuru noticed. "Ara, my shirt is soaking wet!" Placing the knife down on the marble desk, Shizuru swiftly removed her shirt, exposing her chest to Natsuki. Blood made its way to Natsuki's chin before being wiped away by Shizuru, who winked and held the knife in her hand once more. Looking Natsuki square in the eye, Shizuru breathed deeply, her chest bulging against her bra, which Natsuki fervently wished would disappear.
Sultry red eyes watched Natsuki's expression as Shizuru dragged the hilt of the knife up her creamy stomach, positioning the blade against the clasp of her bra in between her breasts. A bead of sweat trickled down Natsuki's cheek, and Shizuru laughed at the sight. Natsuki regained her control, and glared into wine red eyes.
"My Natsuki, do not worry, you'll have me soon enough." Shizuru cooed, and before Natsuki could retort, the cobalt haired woman felt a blow to her head and everything went black.
Feeling a slight tug, the blue haired beauty came to the world of the living, albeit with a bit of a headache. Natsuki was laying face down on the floor, dressed the same as yesterday. "Natsuki? Are you alright?" Natsuki shook her head to regain her senses, and looked to the person talking.
"Mai, what?" Natsuki held a hand to her temple at the fierce pain. "Mou, Natsuki! I told you to go home last night, but of course you stayed here and fell asleep! And now you have a headache on top of that." Mai scolded, and Natsuki looked around confusedly. She could find no evidence of…anything. No newspaper, her desk was just the way she left it, and she couldn't really remember what she was looking for.
Natsuki looked up at the carrot haired girl, and gave a sheepish grin that made Mai's angry expression melt. "Sorry Mai, I guess I just got caught up in my work." Natsuki stood, stretching fully, a few pops audible.
"I think I will take your advice, and get a massage." Natsuki smiled when Mai's eyes lit up, and the carrot haired girl moved behind Natsuki to march her out of the room.
"Good, and while you do that, I'll finish up that paperwork for you." Natsuki's green eyes danced with happiness, and Mai blushed slightly, possibly from never seeing her boss so happy. "Thank you Mai, I really appreciate it."
After taking a relaxing shower, Natsuki wrapped herself in a towel and lay on her private table, having already requested a masseur. Inhaling the scent of jasmine candles, Natsuki felt totally relaxed, and the massage hadn't even started.
Hearing stilettos on the marble floor, Natsuki closed her eyes. Feeling soft hands on her back, Natsuki tensed, feeling electricity through the touch. Shrugging it off, Natsuki relaxed into the massage.
An hour had passed and Natsuki was almost asleep. She barely noticed the retreating sound of the stilettos, nor the door opening then closing. When the cobalt haired woman was fully dressed once more, she walked through the room, placing her hand on the door to leave.
The scent of lilacs registered in her mind, the hand slipped off the door, and Natsuki fell upon the marble floor.
Muahahahaha, anyway. I hope you liked it, and once again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
