Chapter 5 is here; hope you like guys like it. Well I finally understood the name thing, it's pretty easy actually. If I do decide on writing another story I'll be using it. Well without further do here it is. Sorry for the wait.

Disclamer: Yeah it's mine, that's why I'm writting fanfiction.

"The other day Reito came by to my apartment and told me he saw Natsuki in a bar."

"Natsuki?!"

"Yes, Reito told me she was in a really bad state because Kaichou left and didn't tell her anything."

Silence

"At first I thought that Kaichou would come back after a few days, but the week went by and she didn't"

"Natsuki"

"Later I heard that she had been drinking every night, so I thought that you might want to help her. I'm sure kaichou isn't doing so well herself"

Mai was at loss for words. She was processing everything Yukino had told her right now. She had to find Natsuki and talk to her or at least try to make her talk. Her thoughts where interrupted when Yukino called her.

"Sorry Yukino"

"No don't worry"

"Thank you for telling me this. I have to do something about this. I can't just see Natsuki drink herself to death."

"Mai, I would like to help you."

"You would?"

"Yes, it's the least I can do. Kaichou helped me before, now I can return the favor."

"Thank you Yukino I appreciate your concern."

"I will try to talk to Kaichou and see if she is willing to come back."

"You know where she is?"

Yukino didn't want to tell her, she wasn't sure she needed Mai to know just yet.

"No, but maybe she is willing to answer her phone."

"Thank you Yukino."

After each parting their separate ways Mai went to look for Reito and Yukino went after Shizuru.

Yukino was wondering how she was going to talk to Kaichou. Finding her was not going to be a problem since she knew that she was staying at her beach house. As she made her way towards her car she decided that she was going to pay Kaichou a visit. As she got in her phone rang.

"Yukino here"

"Yukino are you okay?"

"Yes, is everything okay Haruka?"

"Well you didn't show up to our date so I thought something happened to you."

"Our date? Was that today?"

"Yes Yukino, today at 3:30"

"Gomen Haruka, I though that was tomorrow"

"No, don't worry but are you still coming?"

"Of course Haruka, just wait a little longer"

"Sure, take care Yukino and drive sanely"

"Safely Haruka"

"You know what I mean"

Yukino just laughed at the comment and said her farewell. After she hung up the phone she knew she wouldn't be visiting Kaichou today. She decided that she would go tomorrow. She was really worried; Kaichou was never the one to stay away for too long unless it was serious. Now she could only wait until tomorrow, after all she had to go see Haruka.

Mai was walking towards her apartment. She was thinking about what Yukino had told her. Could Shizuru have left Natsuki for goof? Why? She didn't know what to do. Natsuki was not going to talk to her, she knew that. The only one whom Natsuki talked to was Nao and they probably didn't talk too much. They only got together so they could go out to a bar and drink. She knew asking Nao for help was out of the question. She sighed and checked her watch, it was 4:00. Only two more hours and the bars would open, meaning that Natsuki would probably be in one drinking her pain away.

Mai had to think of some way to help Natsuki. She couldn't let her drink herself to death.

She then remembered the conversation that she had with Reito. She totally forgot that Reito ran away from her that day in her apartment. She decided that she was going to talk to about everything that had happened so she was going to call him when she got home. Maybe he could help her talk to Natsuki. She kept walking until she reached her apartment. She grabbed the phone and dialed.

"Reito speaking"

"Hello Reito"

"Hi, Mai how are you?"

"Worried"

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes and No, I really need to talk to you in person. Do you think you could come over tomorrow?"

"Yes, at what time?"

"Around 2:00 if that is possible?"

"Yes there's no problem"

"I'll see you tomorrow then"

"Yes take care"

After Reito hung up the phone he knew that Mai found out about Natsuki. He knew that she called her so that they could talk about her. He had to help her and Shizuru. He knew that Shizuru left Natsuki, even before Natsuki yelled at him. Shizuru had called him and asked him if he could watch over Natsuki. He thought that she was just leaving for a couple of days but when she saw the state Natsuki was in he knew that things became serious. He was tempted to call Shizuru and ask her what was going on but decided to give her more time.

Time was up, tomorrow he was going to talk to Mai and just think about someway to help them both. He had to do something about.

"Wow, I'm becoming more like Mai" he said to no one in particular.

She was standing near the cliff. Just enjoying the silence and remembering when Shizuru and her used to go on rides together. She laughed out loud realizing she was thinking about her again. One week had passed and she still hadn't found her.

"Not even the First District was this hard to deal with" she said out loud.

She sighed; she was tired she didn't want to deal with this. Her love, her everything her Shizuru had left her. She was wondering what she was doing. If she was thinking about her. If she missed her. If she had forgotten about her, if she had found someone else. The last thought made her mad; she couldn't picture Shizuru in the arms of someone else besides her.

"This is my entire fault; I was the one that made her wait all this time. Now she decided to move on and leave me and the only thing that I can do is cry over her."

"I just want to know why. Why would she leave me all of the sudden?"

The only answer she got was the sound of the waves crashing into the rocks. She needed to numb herself. All that thinking made her fell even worse. She knew that she had been drinking too much for her own good but what else was left. She had gone crazy trying to look for her and always ended up with the same result. She was ready to leave when her phone rang.

"Kuga here"

"Kuga this is Yamada"

"You found her?"

"I'm afraid not, but a contact told me he saw her near a beach a few days ago"

"When? What beach?"

"He said he couldn't fallow her since she disappeared really fast."

"Dammit Yamada"

"Sorry Kuga, I will keep looking"

Natsuki hung up her phone; she was feeling relieved and also depressed. Shizuru was okay but she still didn't know where she was. She needed something to drink and the realized that the bars where already open. She got on her bike and just rode off. Thinking about Shizuru and how she was.

Little did she know that her beloved Shizuru wasn't doing so great herself.

It killed her having to leave Natsuki. She knew that she had to, every time that she was near her it filled her with joy but also sadness. When she saw the object of her desire the only thing she could think of was that she could never love her the way she did.

"So close but so far" she thought out loud.

After she had arrived at Yukino's beach house a week ago, she hadn't heard any news from anyone. It made her feel relieved that no one was bothering her but it also made her think that Natsuki didn't care. It made her mad thinking about Natsuki. Was she really this weak when it came to her?

She had been crying the last few days, she really missed her. She knew that she couldn't go back. She had to move on, and let Natsuki free. All those thoughts overwhelmed her, so she decided that she needed something to drink. She went to the kitchen and prepared herself some tea. As she checked the shelves she found a small box of tea. There was only one bag so she knew that she had to go buy some more soon. She prepared the tea and drank it. She was feeling tired so she decided to lie on couch, she didn't have the energy to stay awake any longer so she slowly drifted to sleep.

-The next day-

When she woke up the next day she was hungry. She decided to prepare herself something to eat. She went into the kitchen, but it didn't have any food. She had to go to the supermarket either way so she went into the bathroom, took a shower and headed out. It was a sunny day, the beach was calm the birds where chirping and there wasn't a lot of people around. She took a deep breath so she could feel the calmness and relax. Her moment of peace was interrupted when her phone rang. She checked the ID, It was Yukino. She was wondering if she should answer, she really didn't want to be bothered. She let it ring a couple of times until she picked it up.

"Fujino speaking"

"Kaichou this is Yukino"

"Yukino what a pleasure, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing great Kaichou, I was just wondering if maybe you would like some company today?"

"Ara, Ara, Yukino, I would love the company but under one condition."

"Yes, Kaichou"

"That you stop calling me Kaichou."

"Yes Shizuru"

Shizuru smiled at the comment she really could use the company. It was Yukino after all, so she thought it wouldn't do any harm.

"Is Haruka coming?"

Shizuru knew that the comment would make her blush, and laughed.

"Emm… I'm afraid not she has matters to attend today."

"Very well then Yukino, I'll be waiting then."

"Yes Shizuru"

After Shizuru hung up the phone, she went to the supermarket so she could have some food when Yukino arrived. When she came back she saw Yukino's car parked outside the house. She went in and saw Yukino sitting in the living room with a smile.

"Yukino long time no see"

"Kaichou!"

"Ara, Ara did we forget about our agreement?"

Yukino blushed at the comment and it made Shizuru smile.

"Gomen"

"Don't worry"

Yukino was happy to see Kaichou again it had been a week since she last heard of her. She seemed happy, but she knew that her smile was just a mask that betrayed what she was really felling. She remembered why she came to see her and decided to take it straight to the point.

"Shizuru … Why did you leave?"

She wasn't sure that she should have asked so straight forward, but she had to find out.

Shizuru was taken aback with the question. She never knew Yukino could be so forward and just smiled. She knew that this was going to happen so she decided that she was going to talk about it, after all Yukino and her where not that different after all.
