Countdown in Business

Chapter 6

Threaten the President?

"Ha ha… Nao… I …. Can't believe… ha ha… wow! Ha ha…!!" Natsuki tried to say something understandable but she couldn't, at least not now in between laughs she couldn't. Sadly for our little biker she was on the verge of tears, she couldn't stop laugh, she laughed so hard she almost cried!

Nao, still in her solute form, turned to the source of the laughter and saw something she did not expect. She saw Natsuki, her cousin, laughing her head off because of Nao's little stunt. Now, she was completely embarrassed and broke out of her solute. Fighting off a blush, Nao glared at Natsuki. "Shut up pup!"

Still trying to recover from laughing so hard Natsuki tried to respond, "Sure, sure but Nao you… you…" The raven hair girl really did try but at the thought of what her cousin did she could only suppress a few of the laughs and the rest escaped her and she went back to her pervious state as the laughter she fought to retain burst out like water from of a broken dam.

After a few minutes, Natsuki finally regain control of herself. "Sorry but you've got to admit that that was funny right?"

Nao rolled her eyes and sent a death glare at Natsuki but its effect was the same as trying to burn the sun with fire, after all, Natsuki was the one who perfected the infamous Kruger-Death-Glare. All of a sudden it hit Nao, what's Naatsuki doing here? Changing the subject Nao questioned Natsuki on her sudden appearance. "Sure, funny. By the way, pup, what are you doing here, at my school, in the student council room?"



"…" At that question Natsuki really did have to think. She puts on a serious face and began assessing everything, not really sure why she was her in the first place. Hmm… ok let's see so I was late… what's the big deal about that?! I really don't see why I would be here. Wait where was here? Oh yeah the council room or something… Hey! If this is the student council room the student council president would be here too right? If I can freak him out then the WHOLE school will stay away from me! But how….? OH! I can beat him up! … no never mind it too soon for that… What about…. No they'll expel me if that happens… I know! I can just threaten him! Perfect! I'm a genius! But even so WHY am I here?

Natsuki frowned. "Well… I actually don't know… I mean I was just a little late and before I knew it…" She brought both her hands up to emphasize her words. "TADA! Here I am!"

"Ara? Is that so?" Came a voice from outside of the room. As Natsuki turned to locate the new visitor a girl appeared from a side of the door. The 'visitor' had silky shoulder length chestnut hair that, to Natsuki, seemed to radiate as she entered and piercing blood red eyes. Those eyes… Natsuki thought. Haven't I seen them somewhere before?

Natsuki looked straight into those blood red eyes, well… to say look it kind of an understatement, she was staring at them. However all of this didn't go unnoticed by everyone, everyone but the owner of those eyes that is, for she too was staring at Natsuki.

The professional polite and refined mask that the owner of those eyes was falling off, but that was noticed by the girl so she pulled the mask back on and proceeded to that task at hand. Not before a tease though.

"Ara, do you like what you see?" She said directing it at the raven hair girl she was just staring at a moment ago.

That snapped Natsuki out of her thoughts and caused her to blush. "What?! BAKA! No!"



The chestnut hair girl put on a fake pout. "So you're saying I'm too ugly to even look at?" The girl said that and covered her face with both hands pretending to cry.

Seriously thinking she hurt the other girl's feelings, Natsuki panicked and blurted out whatever came to her mind. "What?! No! Don't cry! You're beautiful, especially those eyes!" Just when she thought she blush left it returned stronger than ever after Natsuki realized what she had just said. She looked to the 'crying' girl only to see the girl covering her mouth and suppressing a giggle. Natsuki grasped the fact that she had been fooled and sent a Kruger/Kuga-Death Glare at the girl and growled. "Ahrr.. Whatever! Who are you anyways?"

"Ara…" The girl said after giggling. "How rude of me, I am Shizuru, Fujino Shizuru. Pleased to meet you…"

Fujino… that sounds familiar… where did I hear that name before? Natsuki thought and was about to tell Shizuru her name when Haruka answered for her.

"She's the new delinquent that I saw come to school late today! And to top it off she came to school in that!" She said and pointed to Natsuki.

Natsuki, being as confused as she was about being brought to the student council room, looked at where Haruka was pointing at, herself. Seeing nothing Natsuki questioned her. "What do you mean? Nothing's wrong!"

"What do you mean 'nothing's wrong'?! You're not wearing the shirt!"

"That's skirt, Haruka-chan, not shirt." Another voice from inside the room said and all of a sudden Natsuki noticed the mousy girl with glasses in a corner of the room. The girl looked to Natsuki.

"I'm sorry she's usually like this, so don't mind her. I'm Yukino Kikukawa and she's Haruka Suzushiro."



"Uhh.. yeah… it's ok." Natsuki said and then became conscious of what she was wearing. "Oh and I guess I forgot to put on that uniform thing didn't I?"

"Yeah you think? And not to mention that you almost sand over all our students when you came in!"

"It's ran, not sand."

"That's what I said!"

From a frown, Nao's lips formed into a smirk, she remembered why Natsuki was here, for the fiancé thing. It was time for revenge. "Aww! Don't tell me you already got into trouble on your first day, pup! At this rate I think the great KRU…" Before Nao could finish Natsuki came and covered her mouth and tried to make up something. Shit! If they know now then my plan will be all for nothing! "Kuga, Kuga Natsuki, don't tell me you FORGOT now did you NAO?!" Catching on to the tone Natsuki was using Nao played along but she would still get her revenge sooner or later. "Yeah, yeah how could I forget Kuga."

"Yeah you shouldn't forget." Natsuki said and turned to the rest of the others and introduced herself. "Yeah well I'm Kuga Natsuki and I'm new here so… since this is the student council room where's the president?" Hmm… yes who is it? Who's the person that's gonna go down? Maybe I should just do this the fast way and beat the crap outta him first…

Pulling Natsuki out of her scheming, the girl that had teased Natsuki, Shizuru answered. "Ara, why I, happen to be the student council president, and what can I do for you, Na-tsu-ki?"

"What?! You're the president?!"



Author's Notes:

So what do you think so far? How's the story progressing? Do you think there should be more ShizNat interactions? Or was there enough? What do you think Natsuki should do? Continue with what she planned and threaten Shizuru? Or not and do something else? Oh and since no one really told me to write more chapters for this story faster I kind of took a break for a bit but if you want me to speed things up just say so and I'll be happy to do so! Thanks for reading! Bye! (BTW if no one objects then I'll take another break so if you mind at all let me know and I won't ok?)
