Chapter 5: Shizuru

Two days later, Natsuki had a challenging life in the seitokai. It was either they would be scaring off male stalkers or protecting Kanade from her pestering suitors. Although it was fun and exciting, sad feelings always came to her heart.

It was already 11:30 p.m, Natsuki was by the balcony of the living area, feeling the cold night wind in her face. It was a tough and tiring day for the whole seitokai and everyone was resting. She gazed into the vast ocean from the balcony and sighed. "Shizuru…" she whispered in the wind.

"Is she the one you drew that afternoon two days ago?" a sweet voice spoke from behind Natsuki.

"Yeah kaichou. She's the Fuuka seitokaichou, Shizuru Fujino." Natsuki answered without looking at Kanade.

Kanade made her way beside Natsuki and leaned forward to the railings. "You love her don't you?" she asked straightly.

Nodding an answer, Natsuki looked at her kaichou with a sad look. It still hurts her heart that the person she love only think of her as a best friend. "I left Fuuka because I love her… because if I stay there, I might show her how sad I am. She cares for me and looks sad when I'm sad, but only because I'm her FRIEND." Natsuki said with a sad voice.

"She must be very attractive, for you seemed very fond of her."

Natsuki nodded and smiled a little. "Yeah she is. She's nice, smart and very calm. Much like you kaichou."

Kanade smiled back. "Thank you for your flattery Natsuki."

"It's true… honestly, you remind me of her. But there are differences."

"Like what Natsuki?"

"Smell… you smell like sweet olives, Shizuru on the other hand smell like lavender. You don't tease me much, but she LOVES to tease me." She said with a light chuckle.

"You are something Natsuki. You even know the difference in our scent. But can I ask would you like to see her and try again?"

Natsuki could only smile sarcastically and took a deep breath. "Try again? How can I do that if she couldn't even love the same sex? Kaichou, my heart wants to see her but I'm too scared to even see her with another."

Kanade put a hand on Natsuki's shoulder and looked at her with concern. "Would you like it if I would be there to accompany you? "She asked, slowly sliding her hand from Natsuki's shoulder to Natsuki's hand and clasped it.

Natsuki's brow rose up and looked at Kanade with a perplexed look. "What do you mean Kaichou?"

Kanade smiled and looked at the ocean. "Since you're my bodyguard, you have to go with me to attend a competition that Sayuri-san would be joining."

"What does it have to do with my problem?"

"It would be held on Saturday, 15th of August…" Kanade looked at Natsuki with a sweet tactical smile. "At Fuuka gakuen dojo." She finished, making Natsuki stepped back and look shocked.

"W-why?"

"Why that day or why that place? Which of the two is your question?"

No words could escape from Natsuki's mouth for she was still stunned at what she heard. Her mind began to think of all the possibilities of meeting with Shizuru and how she would talk to Shizuru.

"It would be best if you call her and get an appointment. That way you can be sure, since it would be tomorrow." Kanade said, getting Natsuki's attention. She handed her phone to Natsuki and gave a small sweet wink.

Natsuki looked at her phone and heave a sigh. She dialed a familiar number and waited an answer. After a few rings, someone answered. Natsuki smiled and looked at Kanade. "Hello Shizuru? It's Natsuki…" she said softly.

Fuuka gakuen, 7:00p.m

A loud sound from the huge speakers and students dancing to the music filled the Fuuka gakuen field. It was the annual Fuuka festival and the theme of the festival was disco night. Everyone was having fun and due to the mistake of a certain blond seitokai member, liquor was approved as drinks as well as juice.

Shizuru tried her best to have fun with everyone, drinking some liquor when someone offered her and chatted with everyone that notice or stop her from walking. She tried her best to avoid any of her fan girls as she roamed around the field, hoping to find someone that she feels to be missing in her life.

"Why aren't you having fun, Ru-chan?" Reito asked, stopping Shizuru from roaming the fields.

Shizuru put up her façade and looked at Reito. "Ara, Reito-kun sure knows where to find me among this crowd." She said in a cheerful manner.

Reito gave Shizuru a glass of wine and offered her to have a few chats with him, in which Shizuru didn't decline. They made their way to a small wide space and started their chat.

"So have you found any clue of her?" Reito asked, getting Shizuru's attention.

"No… apparently this is the longest time she skipped school." Shizuru answered sadly.

"Have you tried asking Mai-san? She's rather close to Kuga-san."

"I haven't… Tokiha-san's a busy girl."

"Kuga-san's a strong girl and she cares for you. She wouldn't want you to be sad because of her."

"But… I fear I cannot see her again."

"Why would you say that Ru-chan?"

"Sayonara… I remembered her saying that to me in a serious tone. Like she would go far away." Tears were now forming at her crimson eyes.

Reito pulled Shizuru close to him and gave the brunette a gentle hug. "shhh… don't cry Ru-chan. Your friend will be back." He said in comfort.

"I miss her Reito-kun… the same time I miss your drawings." Shizuru hugged back, burying her face to Reito's chest.

Reito flinched a little but made sure that Shizuru didn't notice it. "Sorry about the drawing. It's just ever since I have you here with me, I'm satisfied enough." He lied perfectly.

"Natsuki… where are you…" she mumbled in Reito's chest, clutching Reito's uniform.

The party ended at 10:30 pm and Reito drove Shizuru to her apartment. Shizuru was dead tired, her mind was blank and all her body wanted was to rest. She went straight to her room and looked at her desk. There, all of the drawing that 'K' gave her was scattered. She glanced at the drawings and picked the first thing she laid her hand on. It was a drawing of her in the Fuuka garden, sleeping soundly at the bench. She turned the paper around and read the small poem written behind.

A sleeping angel on God's garden,

An angel which beauty can't be forgotten.

I watch you quietly from the depths of hell,

I, a mere devil, with love I can't tell.

She dropped the paper back to the desk and sat down to her bed. She closed her eyes and remembered how Reito told her he was 'k'.

It was a few days ago, she was talking with Reito about what if 'K' was a girl. She answered Reito with the same answer like Natsuki and added that if it were a guy she would get to know him. She heard Reito excused himself for a few minutes and went out of the office. She silently sipped her tea calmly for a few minutes when Reito entered the office again with a crumpled parchment paper in his hand.

"What's that Reito-san?" looking at what Reito's holding

Reito beamed toothy smile at her and said "oh this? It's for you."

She grabbed the paper and her eyes widen in surprise. "Did you draw this?" she asked, still surprised.

"yes." Reito said cheerfully.

She wasn't that surprised at all. Reito's family name was Kanzaki so it's understandable if he would be the one who drew all those drawings. But somehow she felt something wrong, yet she ignored it.

Reito explained to her that it was because he was slowly developing special feelings towards her that's why he drew all of those drawings. He asked her if they could spend more time with each other so they could get to know more about each other and maybe more.

She was happy to finally know who 'K' was, so she tried to look for Natsuki to tell her best friend about the great news. She knew that her beloved best friend would be happy for her. She looked for Nastuki everywhere but somehow she couldn't find the blunette. So she decided to wait at the garden where she and Natsuki first met.

Well her lovingly instinct on her best friend didn't fail her since after staying at the garden for only a few minutes, her best friend came to her and asked her about her smile. She answered her dear best friend in a less informative way so that her best friend would be surprise. When Natsuki told her that she liked her, her heart felt like jumping for joy. She answered Natsuki that she liked Natsuki as well since she was her best friend, thinking that it was the same feeling that Natsuki confessed to her. She also told Natsuki that Reito wants to spend time with her; Natsuki just looked at her watch and told her she need to go. She watches the blunette walks away but felt nervous when she heard Natsuki say 'sayonara'.

After that day, she didn't notice that Natsuki was missing. She thought that Natsuki was just skipping class again since it was the blunette's way of saying she was bored. So she just ignored the fact that she didn't see Natsuki and spend time with Reito.

But when she noticed that it was way too long for Natsuki to skip class, she tried to look into Natsuki's school records but it was password protected. She tried to ask Yukino for help but the secretary couldn't hack Natsuki's database.

Remembering those days made Shizuru fall asleep. Her body shut down and her mind went blank, putting her into a deep slumber.

Her sleep was interrupted by her ringing phone. She looked at the caller and saw that it was a new number; she weakly flipped her phone open and answered the phone with her mind still blank.

"Fujino here…" she said groggily.

"Hello Shizuru? It's Natsuki…"

"Oh hey… need anything?" she asked flatly, still her mind was blank and didn't processed who she was talking to.

"Tomorrow I'll be at Fuuka Park, meet me there at 8am by the fountain alright? I need to tell you something"

"Yeah sure, 8am Fuuka Park fountain. "She repeated and dropped the phone, completely falling asleep.

Back at Natsuki, she confusingly looked at the phone and looked at Kanade.

"How was it?" Kanade asked in curiousity.

"I guess she said sure… but she hung up the phone."

"Well I'm sure everything would go your way tomorrow Natsuki. But now, we must rest." She said with a sweet smile.

Natsuki smiled back and nodded, letting the pale violet hair kaichou to pull her inside the dorm and to their respective rooms.

At Natsuki's room, she smiled happily as she lay down to her bed. 'Tomorrow, I'll see you again my angel.' She thought as she slowly closed her eyes and fall into a deep slumber.
