Chapter 15: two to protect is hard
"I can't believe this…" Natsuki mumbled while walking across the school grounds. She was following a group of students that had begun to appear out of nowhere as soon as she and Shizuru decided to attend their class. "Even here she still manages to gather fans." She mumbled in annoyance again.
As soon as both of them left the dorm house, they had been followed by each and every student they pass by. It was a miracle that some didn't follow but then again, looking at how massive the crowd had followed them, it would look like that the whole campus was a 'Fujino fan' already. And Shizuru somehow didn't mind the attention and gave each and everyone who talk to her an answer or a smile, a façade smile.
Natsuki couldn't handle it anymore. As she followed behind the crowd, she was either being glared at or elbowed in any part of her body. Sure she gave them her Kuga-death-glare but the crowd was too big for her. 'How am I suppose to guard her… wait I WAS SUPPOSE TO GUARD HER FROM THEM!' she yelled in her mind. Her brows furrowed and she gritted her teeth as she then made her way among the crowd and to Shizuru.
Shizuru was tired of accommodating with everyone but still she put up her façade so that she won't disappoint her new fans. It was like the moment she entered the campus. After being welcomed by the student council, she thought that she was free from any fans following her. But one by one, students approached her and decided to talk to her and some even flirted with her. Even after meeting the reason she's in Miyagami, her fans had blocked her from spending quality time with Natsuki, making her feel sad. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a complete halt. "Shizuru!" a sweet voice said from behind her.
A smile, a facade less smile had appeared on Shizuru's face as she heard the voice of the one who called her. She turned around and looked at the person that stopped her and her new fans looked at the person aswell.
"Ara! is there something my Natsuki need?" she asked playfully, earning her some whispers and gossips from her fans about the blunette.
Natsuki remove her grip from Shizuru's wrist and glared at the chattering fans, making them shiver in fear. "Need? Yea, I need you to stay close to me! It's my job to be with you." Natsuki said with a slight annoyance from the crowed surrounding them. Her brows were twitching from all the stares and glares she's receiving.
Seeing how Natsuki was getting annoyed, Shizuru decided to put the little wolf into a calm state, a panicky calm state. Covering her face with both of her hands and put up fake sobs. "Natsuki ikezu! You're making it sound that you're only with me because the seitokai ordered you." she falsely cried.
Natsuki felt a tug in her heart upon hearing the sad (yet fake) cries of her charge. Not being used to seeing or even hearing Shizuru sad, she went into panic mode. "M-mou Shizuru! I didn't mean it that way… Please don't cry…" she said, trying to stop Shizuru from crying.
This made the newly formed Fujino fan club gave Natsuki a glare and some of them even gave her a threatening motion like raising their fists or pointing at her with an evil intent. And some are even whispering to each other while looking at Natsuki at the corner of their eyes.
Natsuki's patience among the Fujino fan club had grown thin and she glared back at them and let out a cold and dangerous growl. "If any of you have class or other things to do, I suggest you do it. Before I use my seitokai authority on all of you and leash out a hell of a punishment! Oh and don't you dare come in-line with the kaichou! Nanaho's with her!" she threatened, sending each and everyone a cold and piercing glares.
Seeing how serious the seitokai bodyguard is, the fans made a run for it. Scared of what hell Natsuki might unleash on them if they didn't shut up and leave the two alone.
"Ara, ara… It seems my Natsuki still has her touch when it comes to my fans. Ookini." Shizuru said with a tearless eyes and a happy smile.
Hearing the sweet voice of Shizuru had calmed down Natsuki's rage and gave the brunette a quizzical look. "You're faking it again... Geez Shizuru…" Natsuki said in a defeated way. She sighed heavily and shook her head.
Shizuru giggled and held Natsuki's left hand, caressing it affectionately. "kannin na Natsuki." she apologized.
Natsuki only sighed again and gave a weak smile. "Fine.. C'mon let me take you to your class before you end up late and me getting killed by Nanaho for making you late." She grabbed Shizuru's hand that's holding her left hand and pulled her towards the academic building.
Shizuru had been escorted to her class and Natsuki said that after school hours, she'll come and pick her up and be brought back to the dorms. She gave Natsuki a sweet smile before she went inside the classroom and face another set of fans. 'Well here comes another boring class. I hope time flies fast.' She though tiredly but maintain her façade. As Shizuru entered the room, a familiar face gave her a relieving sigh.
"Oh, hello Shizuru. I guess were classmates." A sweet voice said cheerfully.
-0-0-0-
After the last school bell rang, Natsuki hurriedly ran towards Shizuru's supposedly last class. Sure she can be late to pick up her charge, but the thought of the last class and who Shizuru's classmate did not gave her a nice time to take it easy. 'I swear, if those fans lay atleast a hand onto them, I'll bite their heads off!' she snarled as she dashed away to Shizuru's classroom.
After a mad dash from the second floor up to the fourth floor, Natsuki had stopped in front of a chestnut colored door which read 'Trigonometry Class'. She panted and wiped the sweat beads that had form on her forehead. 'good that there's not a single fan in sight. Hehe.' She smiled devilishly and leaned by the pillar across the trigonometry classroom.
After a few minutes, the bell rang and the door of the trigonometry classroom swung open.
"Finally!" she said in relief. She hated waiting and that's why she always ends up being late on tons of agendas. And one of them was the seitokai meetings.
One by one, the students went out from the classroom with blushes or wide grins on their faces. Natsuki irked at the smug looks on the 3rd years faces and knew why they were acting like that. She had her arms crossed until she saw two familiar figures exited the classroom.
"I'm assuming that those girls who have the 'I in la-la land' looks in their faces are your doings, kaichou, Shizuru?" she said while eyeing the two.
Shizuru could only giggle while Kanade gave Natsuki a smile.
"kannin na Natsuki, but honestly we only smiled at them." Shizuru said in her thick Kyoto-ben accent.
"Is Natsuki mad at us?" Kanade said with a slight sad look on her face.
Natsuki flung her arms in the air as if she gave up on a fight and turned around. "gah! Whatever! C'mon you two, before this whole floor be filled by the Fujino or Jinguuji fan club." She grumbled. Thinking of the two factions together in one floor sent shivers over Natsuki's spine. 'I maybe strong but in the face of a tsunami of fans I think I need help with that.'
Both Kanade and Shizuru chuckled at the behavior of Natsuki. They followed their bodyguard as they had been instructed while along the way, students gaze at the both them with awe. They often stop and give each and every student that approach them and ask questions some sweet answers, whether it would be a flirting question or a personal question. And Natsuki has to stop and wait for them to finish in what they were chatting.
'Why do they have to entertain them? Tch! Really now, are seitokai kaichou's like this? Pft!' natsuki thought in annoyance. She crossed her arms and tapped her index finger over her elbows in annoyance while waiting for her two charges to finish with their interview.
As if the fans have no end in coming after her two charges, Natsuki's brow started to twitch when the endless flow of fans didn't stop approaching them. And again, the poor bodyguard only has a small line of patience when it comes to fans and gave each and every fan girls her death glare which made the fan girls back off.
"if the two of you are done with the 'student-pop-idol' interview, I would like to return to our dorms and have my rest." Natsuki said with a slight tired tone. She was really tired considering how long she has to wait every time a fan comes up to the two.
The two giggled and nodded.
"Oh my, Natsuki shouldn't frown so much." Kanade said with a smile.
"Ara, is My Natsuki jealous of our fans?" Shizuru teased, making the body guard blush. She giggled as she saw the slight red tint in Natsuki's face.
"I'm not jealous!" Natsuki retorted with a growl. She stomped ahead towards the dorm house, leaving Kanade and Shizuru behind.
"I think we angered her." Kanade said in concern.
Shizuru just smiled and look at the stomping Natsuki. "I guess not, she's rather cute when she's like that."
"You sure know her Shizuru."
With a sweet smile, Shizuru answered: "she's not just any other girl I met, that's why I know her a lot and that's why I've fallen for her. Not because she's 'k', but because she's Natsuki."
"Then shal I take you as my rival?" Kanade asked casually, having her calm and sweet smile on her face.
Shizuru shrugged but still regain composed in a spilt second at the sudden rivalry declaration of the Miyagami kaichou. She felt a heat of rage flow through her body as she remains a composed and smiling façade. "ara, ara, Kanade declared me as a rival. Well now I shall not back down to that since its MY Natsuki that was talking about." She said with slight venom in her tone.
Being the same in both calmness and aura, Kanade didn't get affected by Shizuru's retort and instead she looked at Shizuru straight in the eyes with a calm smile. "I would be honored to be able to have a small rivalry with you." Kanade said.
Both of them are starting to have a staring contest when a Natsuki shouted.
"IF YOU'RE DONE GIVING EACH OTHER THOSE CREEPY SMILES, NANAHO WILL YELL OUR EARDRUMS OUT! I MEAN, YELL AT ME TILL MY EARDRUMS SHATTER!!" Nastuki yelled angrily. She was by the building's exit door, leaning at the wall with her arms crossed below her chest.
"I think we need to abide our little bodyguard, ne Kanade?" Shizuru said as she started walking towards where Natsuki was waiting.
Kanade let Shizuru walk ahead and giggled slightly. She watched at how the two transfers interact with each other, both with longing to be with each other in their eyes.
"Honestly I can take care of myself, Ayumu-san." Kanade said.
Kanade knew that one of the covert ops was trailing behind them in the shadows and she knew that it was under the orders of both the covert ops leader, Seina-sempai and assault leader, Nanaho-sempai. The figure showed itself by falling down from the shadows of the ceiling and landing infront of Kanade.
The girl with twin ponytailed hair called Ayumu bowed before Kanade with an apologetic look in her eyes. "I'm sorry for following you kaichou. But under strict orders of Siena-san and the sudden mission of Natsuki-san to guard the transfer, I must abide." Ayumu said with respect.
Kanade waved her hand to let Ayumu know its fine. "Don't apologize Ayumu-san, you were only doing your orders."
Ayumu smiled and blushed a little at the kindness of her kaichou. She turned around to the windows where she saw the raven haired bodyguard together with the transferred brunette. "I see that Natsuki-san's loveone's very energetic and brave. Considering how she can tease the rabid wolf." Ayumu commented, watching how Shizuru was playing with Natsuki's hair as they make their way to the dorm house.
"Indeed she's brave. But I do hope her courage could help her in this plan of mine, for it's a win-win situation for me." Kanade said, having a hint of evil in her words.
Ayumu felt an icy wind pass though her as Kanade made her way out of the academic building. "I think I'm beginning to fear the kaichou than Siena-sempai or Nanaho-sempai." She whispered, disappearing in the shadows again.
At the dorm house's living room, Natsuki was again complaining to Nanaho who was currently ignoring her by reading a book while Shizuru was pre-occupied in playing with RIno and Minamo. She was comlaining about Shizuru staying at her dorm room for the whole semester.
"Nanaho! Why does she has to stay in my room?!" Natsuki yelled out, slamming her left hand at the coffee table infront of Nanaho.
Nanaho got irritated at the banging and yelling of Natsuki and decided to close her book and faced Natsuki. She has her I'm-the-fuukukaichou look on her face that didn't even affect the complaining brunette. "Natsuki-san, she is your charge and you have to guard her 24/7. And the dorm house's other rooms are out of shape, unless you want Fujino-san to sleep outside campus grounds, like the hotels or such." Nanaho explain with a grin.
Thinking of Shizuru sleeping at some shabby hotel room outside the campus sent shivers on her whole body. She gritted her teeth and let out a soft growl before turning around and went towards Shizuru.
"grr! C'mon Shizuru, before I start to get my Ducati and run over Nanaho!" Natsuki said angrily, grabbing Shizuru's wrist and pulling her away from the Rino and Minamo and dragged the surprised brunette upstairs.
Both Minamo and Rino looked at the fuming Natsuki then to the smirking Nanaho with a confused look. Rino raised Puuchan and faced it to Nanaho's direction.
"That was quite a trick you pulled fuukukaichou. I didn't expect that wolfie would fall for your excuse." Puuchan said with a smirk.
Nanaho grinned widely and proudly at what she had done. "Ha! That Natsuki deserves it puppet! Nobody goes against me without payback!" she laughed menacingly and left the living room.
"ne Rino, do you think that the fuukukaichou's getting crazy?" Minamo asked shivering from the thought of Nanaho being crazy.
Rino placed hr free index finger over her lower lip and imagined a crazy Nanaho. she shivered aswell at the thought of a crazy Nanaho. "Minamo I don't like what I imagined." She said with teary eyes. She imagined that Nanaho was holding a fork and chasing each and every one of them while yelling 'I'll eat you!'
Omake time for my new friend, xbloodhoundtrojanx ^-^…
Miyagami dorm house kitchen…
Natsuki: *rummaging in the kitchen cabnets* ….
Shizuru: *spots Natsuki while drinking her tea in the counter* Ara! Why is my Natsuki silent and seemed busy in looking for something?
Natsuki: *took out a spoon and raised it above her head with an evil grin* hahaha! Rino's imagination gave me an idea! Watch out Fuukukaichou, I'll show you the deadliest weapon in the kitchen! *left the kitchen with a spoon raised above her head and making slashing motions*
Rein enters the kitchen
Rein: *saw Natsuki leaving the kitchen, confused look* Fujino-san, why does Natsuki-sempai has a demonic look on her face while holding a spoon?
Shizuru: *calmly sips tea* it seems that she believed Zaki-kun's concept on the spoon as a weapon.
Zaki: hey! The spoon is a dadly weapon! Damn spoons can cut even meats! In the hands of a master, it might be used a secret weapon! *jabbing a spoon on the steak with a murderous intent*
Rein & Shizuru: *sweatdrop* scary… She has a point on that though…
PARENTAL ADVISORY: spoons can be dangerous to yourself and others aswell XD
