I never understood how was it that the authors could get so sleep deprived, but somehow I learned that today, after the sleepiness I went through. I must say that I am very thankful for the authors that try to update as soon as possible. Thank you for all the reviews they mean a lot to me and thanks to those who read but don't review too.

Disclaimer: NOT mine… Trust me if it was Takeda would have had a painful death -grin-

One week had passed since somebody last heard about Natsuki, and everyone was starting to get worried.

After that night at the bar and the small discussion Natsuki had with Reito, she just shut herself out from everyone else.

Mai had been calling her but she just wouldn't answer her phone, she even went to visit her but she wasn't there, or she decided to ignore the banging Mai made.

She was wondering what was going on with her and if she was ok. It was until the third time that Reito came to visit her and Mikoto when she decided to ask him if he knew something. She knew that he probably wouldn't since they didn't talk too much, but what did she have to loose?

Oh! But she was in for a surprise. Mai was fumbling on how to ask Reito about Natsuki. She didn't know how to approach the subject since Reito barely knew Natsuki, instead Mai was caught unguarded since it was Reito who asked about Natsuki.

"Mai have you heard anything about Natsuki?

"No Reito why did you ask did something bad happen to her?" Mai was starting to get suspicious, Reito was never the one to ask about Natsuki, and she knew that Reito knew more than he was pretending to.

"NO! Not at all I was just wondering since I normally see her here everytime I come to visit you and Mikoto"

"Aha I knew it! You know something that I don't"

"What are you talking about?"

"Reito Kanzaki don't lie to me! You answered way to quickly"

Reito wasn't to sure if he wanted to tell Mai since he saw the look Natsuki had that day at the bar. Besides what was he going to tell her if she were to ask what he was doing at that bar? He needed to think of something fast cause he wasn't going to tell Mai he saw a very drunk Natsuki speed off in her bike, that would be just plain dumb and Mai would never forgive him. So he just did what came to mind; he called his escape route.

"Mikoto dessert is ready!"

"Reito Kanzaki! You're not getting away from this"

The truth was that he jut couldn't tell Mai not yet, so instead of having to answer the interrogation that was sure to come he called Mikoto whom he knew would stop at nothing everytime food was mentioned.

"Mai is dessert ready?"

Mai glared at Reito for getting away with this one but she was going to make him pay.

"Yes Mikoto"

"Yay, I wonder what it is?"

"Strawberry Cheesecake"

"Mmmm…"

"Would you like some Reito?"

Reito was still thinking of a way to get out of the apartment since he knew that if he stayed he was sure he was going to have to face the inevitable.

"Mai, Mikoto I'm sorry but sadly I can't stay with you any longer I'm afraid they are matters that I have to attend to this evening, It was a pleasure seeing you all today and please take care"

Before Mai had time to tell him to not move a muscle Reito was already out the door. She cursed to herself but promised she'd find a way for Reito to talk. She now had to take care of a hungry Mikoto.

Natsuki woke up with a terrible headache that morning and to very loud ring so she decided to turn off her phone, in reality she threw it at the wall. She was feeling bad, she had been out again, this time with Nao. They went to a new bar that had opened near her apartment. It had been a week since the terrible day Shizuru left her and the fight she had with Reito, she started wondering what she was going to do now. After all most of the time she spend with Shizuru or doing something not productive. She really didn't want to think about Shizuru, but it was all she was managing to do these days. The only time she felt relieved and forgot everything about her problems was when she was drinking or totally drunk. So she had been doing that more often, and by often I mean every night. Natsuki was wondering how the hell she ended up in her apartment since she was way too waisted to walk.

She actually didn't care; nothing mattered anymore she didn't have anything left. Shizuru was the closest she had and now she was gone. She had tried looking for her in so many ways but she'd failed miserably. She called her phone so many times but nothing happened apparently Shizuru changed number, eventually she just got tired and stopped looking for her. She was wondering where she was and how she could find her, even after all the pain she had caused her she still wanted to reach her. After a while she realized that she was doing it again.

"YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN YOU IDIOT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT HER! DAMMIT WHY CAN'T I JUST FORGET THAT ALL OFF THIS HAPPENED AND MOVE ON"

"I need something to drink"

She decided that she was going to go to the kitchen and see if she had anything to drink, as soon as she got herself off from bed she fell right back to the floor, she had tripped over some empty bottles and broken them. She was now cut and bleeding.

"DAMMIT, FUCKING SHIT, FUCK THIS HURTS"

She got herself up and ignored the pain that was going through her body and just went to the kitchen, she washed her blood away in the kitchen sink and went into the fridge…nothing not even left-overs.

After that she realized that she hadn't been in her apartment too much so there's was no food and no beer, that only meant that she had to go shopping for more. She really didn't want to but then she really needed a drink, and mayo.

A few moments passed since she finally got out of the bathroom and had a pair of clean clothes. She really didn't want to ride her bike today and the supermarket was only ten minutes away on foot. She was wearing a black top a pair of jeans and a pair of black converse. Her hair was in ponytail and she decided to wear some sunglasses since people might notice that she had a hangover. She was at the door when she heard her name, she slowly turned around and was in for a surprise.

"I don't need this right now" she thought.

TBC…
