Natsuki slowly turned around and saw Mai standing there with a concerned face.
"Hey Mai"
"Natsuki are you okay? You had me so worried I haven't heard from you in days and everytime I came to look for you, you weren't home."
"I'm fine, I've been busy."
Natsuki didn't have the chance to close the door when she heard Mai call her name. That gave Mai the opportunity to peek into her apartment, which was a mess. Natsuki closed the door as fast as she could since she saw Mai peeking inside.
Mai knew that Natsuki was not going to talk to her about her problems, there was a reason why everyone in school called her the ice princess. She knew something was up, Natsuki didn't look so good and she saw an insane amount of beer bottles inside her apartment. As soon as she heard the door close she snapped out of her trance.
"Natsuki what's up with the beer bottles?"
"I had a party a few days ago"
"Then it was one hell of a party"
Natsuki didn't say anything she just wanted Mai to leave her alone; she didn't need all the questioning so she could be reminded of all the problems she had. So she decided it was time for her to leave and go do what she was supposed to do.
"I'm heading for the supermarket, there are some things that I need, sorry but I have to go"
Mai was not going to let her go that easy she grabbed her by the arm but let her go as soon as she saw Natsuki flinch.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."
"It's nothing"
Mai decided to look why Natsuki flinched, what she found on her hand and Natsuki's arm was blood.
"Natsuki your arm"
"It's just a small cut"
"No it's not! Your dripping blood, Natsuki let me bandage that for you"
"NO! I'm fine relax will ya"
"Natsuki…"
"Sorry I didn't mean to yell, I'm fine I have to go."
Mai was sure this time; that something had happened to Natsuki these couple of days, and was going to find out. She decided that she was going to go to the supermarket with her and maybe get her to talk.
"Natsuki wait…"
"What?"
"Let me join, you I needed to go to the supermarket either way, so we can go together."
Natsuki didn't want the company but she decided that she didn't want Mai to meddle into her problems and she knew that if she said no she was going to get into more questioning. So she just let it go and told her.
"Fine"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The walk towards the supermarket was quiet, Natsuki was thinking about her own things and Mai was just worried about her friend. Mai was thinking on how to get Natsuki to open up, or at least get her to talk.
"Nice weather huh?"
"Huh… ohh yeah…"
"It's perfect to go on a ride don't you think?"
"Yeah" Natsuki mumbled
"You should take Kaichou with you I'm sure she would enjoy it."
Natsuki had stopped dead on her tracks, she knew that this was going to happen if Mai came with her. She somehow would mention Shizuru and make her loose it. Mai noticed Natsuki stop and wondered if she said something that she shouldn't have.
"Natsuki I'm sorry I didn't mean to…"
Natsuki was just staring at the floor she was about to break down, why did Mai have to make her remember Shizuru? It had been one week and she still hadn't heard about her, she had been looking for her too in so many ways. She even asked Yamada to help her but it didn't work. She just wanted to run away and make it all go away. She just wanted … Shizuru back. Mai was still staring at her, not knowing what to do.
"Natsuki?"
Natsuki snapped out of her thinking and replied coldly.
"I need to go, leave me alone Mai"
"Natsuki wait, what happened?"
Mai was too late since Natsuki had already turned away and gone somewhere, she was about to follow her when her cellphone rang. She cursed out loud but answered the phone.
"Tokiha speaking"
"Mai this is Yukino…"
"Yukino?"
"Yes"
"What a surprise! What do I owe the pleasure to?"
"Mai, Is it possible that you could met me in the cafe near your apartment today?"
"Sure no problem; but is everything alright?"
"I'm afraid not I'll let you know when we met."
"Ok what time?"
"Today at 3:00"
"I'll be there."
"Thank you Mai"
"Sure no problem, take care bye"
"You too, bye"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natsuki was thinking too much. She had so many things on her mind that she was loosing it.
She still didn't get why Shizuru left her. Was it really that she didn't love her like she said she did? Was it that she was tired of waiting? She really couldn't tell, if she would have had more time she would have Shizuru by her side right now.
Natsuki didn't know where she was going. She just kept driving for god knows how long. Eventually she came to a stop and was standing at the cliff where her mother was taken away by the sea. Why was she here? She was about to break down, she couldn't take it anymore. She realized that she was weak, that she wanted and needed Shizuru. She just fell to her knees and started crying her eyes out and just letting it all out. She needed to let go and move on but she just couldn't get over the fact that Shizuru was gone.
Did she cause this much pain to Shizuru when she told her that she didn't love her the way she did?
"God why is this so hard?" She yelled.
There was no reply, she knew there wasn't going to be one and she hated it. It just made it harder to stay sober and alive. The only sound she heard was the sound of the waves crashing into the rocks. She was going to stay there all afternoon and just go and drink at night. It had been a long time since she was with her mom alone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mai was starting to get worried. Yukino barely called her and when she did it was to locate Kaichou. She was about to call Yukino when she saw the girl waving. Mai was relieved and waved back.
"Yukino, you look great"
"Thank you Mai so do you"
Mai just blushed at the comment. Later she remembered why Yukino called her and went straight to the point.
"Yukino what's wrong?"
"Mai… "
Yukino was lost. She didn't know how to tell her, or even if she should tell her. It was all so confusing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Flashback-
Yukino was in her apartment getting ready to go out on her date with Haruka. She was picking her purse when she heard the phone ring.
"Hello"
"Hello"
"Yes who is this?"
"Ara, Ara how fast we forget Yukino"'
"Kaichou?"
"Yes, but I'm not the president anymore remember?"
"Ohh sorry"
"Nothing to worry Yukino"
"Is everything ok Kaich… Shizuru?"
"Yes, everything is fine I just needed to ask you for a favor"
"Yes anything"
"Is your beach house available?"
"Yes it is why?"
"I was wondering if you could let me use it? I'm willing to pay if it is to much trouble"
"Yes you may and don't worry its no trouble at all. May I ask why?"
Silence
"Shizuru?"
"Thank you Yukino, and have fun at your date"
"How did you?"
"Ara, Ara I did help you after all"
Yukino felt her cheeks catch fire and heard Shizuru laugh at the other end.
"Shizuru…"
"Well I have to go Yukino and tell Haruka I said hi"
-click-
Shizuru left a confused Yukino at the other end. Yukino didn't have a lot of time to process what just happened since her thought where interrupted by her date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukino was still remembering when she heard Mai call her name.
"Sorry Mai "
"No don't worry, just tell me what's wrong"
Yukino started telling Mai all that had happened the day Shizuru called her. Mai was confused and worried. She didn't know why Shizuru left and why Natsuki was acting all weird. But she knew someone who would.
TBC…

I hope you guys like it and review: D Sorry for the long delay but I was kind of blocked. Question to all the writers out there that read my story. What do you normally do when you have writers block? Sorry about my bad grammar I'm trying my best. Also for the record everyone here in this story is on first name bases cause I don't understand the -san, -sama thing. I'll google it and use it on my next story cause it would just seem weird for me to use it after the fourth chapter. Thanks for reading and I hope this is longer.
