Today, Nov. 6, is my Birthday! haha. So Here's my blow-out to those who read this fic! Chapter 6! Hurrah!
Disclaimer: It hurts so much to say this, I know others do find it hard too, I don't own Mai- hime!!! D: Not even my beloved Natsuki *sob
typos??? hahah. sorry, i didn't double check it. hehe
The duo found themselves surrounded with the soft glow of the setting sun and enveloped with pure serenity. They were currently sitting on the spread-out blanket, peacefully watching as the sun sets.
"Neh, Shizuru?" Natsuki broke the silence in a low mumble, not taking her eyes off the scenery.
"Hmm?" Shizuru hummed in response.
"Where have you been?" the sailor asked.
Puzzled, Shizuru turned to her companion. "What does Natsuki mean?"
Natsuki turned to look at her. Shizuru was shocked to see Natsuki's clear emerald eyes full of— what was that? Longing?
"You know, the past years?" Natsuki sighed and returned her gaze to the setting sun. "I came back to the park you know, since the day that I met you. I kept on coming back with Duran hoping that I'll see you there somehow but never once did I see you, not even your shadow." Shizuru can see sadness and pain emitting from the sailor's form. She smiled at the mention of Natsuki's beloved white dog.
But being her, Shizuru can't help but tease the poor sailor. "Ara, I never knew that Natsuki missed me that much."
"Shizuru," she groaned. "quit on teasing. I'm trying to be serious here." And Natsuki glared at her in return.
Shizuru giggled. "Ara, serious Natsuki is cute too."
"Shizuru!"
The teaser laughed lightly behind her hand. "Alright, alright." Then, the mischief that was visible in her incarnadine eyes was instantly replaced with seriousness as she placed her line of vision back to sun that was slowly but surely disappearing behind the vast ocean.
"Maybe I should start from the beginning, hmm?"
-Flashback-
A black polished jaguar was racing its way towards Mai-Hime Hospital at a very dangerous speed. Overtaking motorists and sometimes almost running over innocent pedestrians.
"Faster! Drive faster!" ordered the man seating on the back seat of the very expensive car, his blood-red eyes shining in the dark.
"Yes sir!" the chauffeur responded and go faster he did.
Within two minutes, they arrived at the desired destination. They both got out of the car.
"Hurry up and ask for assistance!" the middle-aged man with crimson eyes frantically ordered.
"Yes sir!" with that the chauffeur ran inside the hospital.
And after a moment, the chauffeur emerged from the doors leading two nurses who were pushing a stretcher to his master's location.
"Here! Please help me get my wife out!" the master cried.
With haste, one of the nurses put half of his body inside the car and then he carefully carried the woman inside of it to the stretcher and proceeded to place her on top of it.
After the woman has been placed securely, they ran her inside the hospital.
The master was running along side the stretcher while he kept on holding tight at his wife's hand.
"Honey, come on! You can do it! I'll be right here don't worry." He said to his panting wife.
"Sir! Please stay here for a moment." Said the nurse as he entered the stretcher inside the delivery room.
-Flashback ends-
"And Fuuka was graced with a healthy 1.89 lbs. beautiful baby named Fujino Shizuru on December 19, 1981 at 0200 hours in Mai- Hime Hospital's Delivery Room." Shizuru proudly narrated.
Natsuki raised an eyebrow. 'Talk about specific… and from the beginning.'
"So um, Fujino Shizuru…" Natsuki repeated. "That's a beautiful name but who's that?"
"I'm hurt. Natsuki praises other's name. Do you not find my name beautiful?" She pouted.
"NO!"
"You do not find my name beautiful?"
"I mean yes!"
"Natsuki agrees that my name is not beautiful?"
Natsuki had the urge to pull her hair out. "No! Argh! Shizuru! That's a trick question! What I meant beforehand was I do find your name beautiful." She tried to state calmly.
"But not as beautiful as Fujino Shizuru? *sniff I'm jealous."she insisted.
"C'mon Shizuru! You're name is great!"
"Really?"
"Certainly! 200% sure."
"Ara, I'm glad Natsuki thinks so."
'Finally'Natsuki sighed in relief.
"Anyways, back to my question, who's this Fujino dude?" Natsuki once again voiced out her former question.
"Ara, now you dude me? Ureshii." Shizuru replied.
"Dude you? I wasn't duding you. I was duding that Fuji-- Don't tell me--"
Shizuru extended her hand out to Natsuki. "I was Fujino Shizuru. It's a pleasure to meet you, Natsuki-chan."
"You're jealous of your own name?!" Natsuki asked, looking at Shizuru incredulously. 'Geez, this woman is impossible. And wait, how is that even possible? Two names?'
"I like my former name much better if I say so myself."
"If that's the case, why did you change your name?"
"It was needed."
"Why was it needed?"
"Natsuki has so many questions."
"C'mon please…" with a pout
'Ara, so cute.' "Very well then, since Natsuki is so interested in me. Fufu."
Natsuki just blushed.
"Natsuki did know that my parents died, didn't she?"
"Yes, you told that to me when we were little."
"The Kazaki adopted me after that incident since Reito's father is my mom's brother and they are the closest to us in terms of relationships. They would have gladly allow me to keep my family name since we all know how important it is to me. But later on we inevitably needed to migrate to America for Reito's father was needed there; oji-han loves his family dearly, he can't just leave us all here now, can he? I was somehow needed to be legally adopted so that they could take me there with them. Therefore my Fujino must be changed to Kanzaki."
"And aren't you here now? And independent at that. Don't you want to change back to a Fujino"
"Ara, that would be lovely indeed and I would very much be happy if I would but why should I go all the trouble if I would soon get married?" Red eyes twinkling with amusement met with the green confused ones.
"You're getting married?"
"I certainly hope so, but it will all depend on how her cute slow mind pick it all up. Ara! I just hope she won't take too much time, though my cute little puppy is too cute when flustered, I wouldn't want to wait till I'm standing on three feet now, will I? Fufu"
Flabbergasted, Natsuki asked, "You would want to get married to a puppy?!" 'A puppy? What the hell is wrong with me?!' she thought while she mentally checked herself out.
Shizuru mentally sighed, for it is not proper for a lady to sigh. "That slowness is exactly what I was talking about, Natsuki." she uttered but not loud enough for Natsuki to hear.
"What was that?"
"Ara, I was just thinking aloud how cute you are Natsuki!"
"Shizuru!"
A sleek motorcycle was making its way towards Viola Street. An annoyed voice and a melodic laugh can be heard over the roaring engine of the beautiful beast. Despite the fact that Shizuru was very scared at first, she was now very comfortable sitting on Natsuki's motorcycle, too comfortable in Natsuki's opinion.
"Argh! St-Stop that Shizuru" a muffled voice came through the helmet.
"Ara, what was that Natsuki?" Kyoto-ben asked as she continued with her onslaught.
"Stop tickling me or we're going to crash!!!" Natsuki shouted in distress.
"I can't hear you." Shizuru sain in a sing-song voice.
"Stop dping that or else!"
"Or else what, Na-tsu-ki?"
'Oh, you asked for it woman' emerald eyes glinted dangerously behind the visor.
And a very loud lady-like "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~" was heard throughout the neighborhood. One would wonder how was she still able to shout so elegantly despite what happened. We'll never know. That's a secret behind every Fujino.
"Natsuki is really a meanie." Shizuru pouted as they made their way towards Shizurur's front door.
Natsuki chuckled. "I told you to stop, didn't I? It was your fault."
"But a wheelie Natsuki? I fear for your life and mine."
"But it was worth it, If I say so myself. For the ever composed Fujino to shriek like that! Ha!"
"I did not shriek Natsuki." Shizuru inserted her keys into the keyhole the opened the door.
"Would you like to come in Natsuki?" She smiled warmly at the sailor.
"Uh… thanks for the offer, but maybe next time." Natsuki scratched the back of her head embarrassingly.
"Just for tea?" Shizuru pouted.
"I would love to but really can't, maybe next time?" Natsuki smiled.
"Next time it is then."
They stood there in silence. One awkwardly, and the other amusingly.
"So, uh, goodbye then. I had a great time." She turned around slowly.
The chestnut haired lady watched with great amusement as the sailor turned around. 'Ara, at this rate I think I really would have to wait till I get old'
"Natsuki." Shizuru called.
"Huh?"
She was instantly grabbed by the collar with full force, shocking the life out of her. But the oh-so-soft moist lips that came crushing down on hers almost took the life out of her.
"That… is how you end a date, Na-tsu-ki." Shizuru said in a sexy Kyoto-ben voice. And with a flirtatious wink, she was gone.
The soft click of the door as it closed brought the sailor's thoughts back to land. Blushing madly she quickly turned around and stiffly made her way back towards her ride. Her right hand slowly made its way before her lips as she gently placed two of her fingers on her lips. A smile slowly made its way on her face as she shoved her hands on her pockets. She sighed dreamily and looked up the starry night.
"Such a wonderful night, eh?"
Startled, Natsuki faced the direction of the voice. Warmth and a waft of nostalgia suddenly overcame her. A man with snow-white hair with clear blue eyes stood not too far from her. She stared at him for a while, trying to figure out if he was familiar. Swearing that she had never seen such a man before, she just shrugged the feelings away and acknowledged him.
"Yes it is." Natsuki smiled warmly and then rode her precious bike.
Blue eyes watched her go as they disappeared behind the darkness, warm smile formed upon his lips.
'Such a wonderful night, indeed.'
------- Later that night------
The light from the laptop's screen illuminated the room. There was a silhouette of a woman sitting in front of the said gadget that can be seen.
Mad_Scientist:sooooooo, how was ur date? ;)
Psychotic_lover19: ara, it was fun. Fufu But my puppy was rather mischievous today. Especially with that bike of hers. Ara, I think I'm going to faint just thinking about it…

-Flashback ends-
"And Fuuka was graced with a healthy 1.89 lbs. beautiful baby named Fujino Shizuru on December 19, 1981 at 0200 hours in Mai- Hime Hospital's Delivery Room." Shizuru proudly narrated.
"Shizuru…" Natsuki sweat-dropped.
"Yes?" Shizuru smiled.
"Is it really necessary for you to begin from your birth?" Nastuki asked incredulously.
"Ara, I certainly remembered telling Natsuki that I shall start from the beginning, did I not?"
OMAKE 2:
"Mom! I'm home!" Natsuki shouted. She stored towards the living room and flopped down the couch. She lay there with one arm over her eyes and a dreamy smile on her face. She touched her lips as she reminisce about the heavenly kiss she had a while ago.
'*sigh… I'm super in love'
At the other side of the room, Saeko stood as she spied- I mean looked- at her daughter. 'Fufu… She looks so happy! Time for teasing!'
She slowly made her way across the living room. Once she was merely an inch apart from the couch she sang loudly…
"I kissed a girl and I liked it! The taste of her cherry chapstick…" She took a glimpse at her daughter, satisfied with her work she smirked and then she whistled the other parts of the song then disappeared to the other room,
Leaving a gaping beet-red girl at the sofa.
Okaay… Not so long. Hahah. Sorry about that.
