Bodyguard

By: Urooj

YAY! I live! My apologizes for the late update. I can only update when I have nothing on my plate, like now that first semester is done. Lately I've been into the famous Mai Hime pairing, Shizuru and Natsuki. And then I've also watched a series that ended recently, called Blue Drop. It was beautiful.

Anyone like the above mentioned anime or pairings, I'd love to hear it.

And here is chapter 5. Not a lot of action (physically), but let's see where it goes.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot

Chapter 5: Forest

"Um, is it just me or is this getting bit too awkward? Miss Steal over there hasn't stop staring for the last twenty minutes and Miss Queen of Hell is practically drooling. THE HELL!" Michiru thought.

Time seemed to have passed slowly for Michiru as she fumed silently. Looking back and forth from her friend to her bodyguard she was getting deadly annoyed. It was like there was a secret in this room that she didn't know of, but those two did. To top it off, there was this weird twisting hurt feeling in her stomach that made her heart lurched. She didn't like those "oh-so-loving, and I'm your number one fan" eyes Pandora was giving the blonde.

It didn't make the aqua-haired any better that Haruka was reciprocating those looks, however her gaze seemed to turn intense, even more so by the minute. Michiru's eyes widened at the observation. Haruka's eyes are normally distant, which speak the language of "look at me, and die".

Michiru coughed. Twenty minutes were long enough, and her patience had been used up.

The trance in the room was automatically broken. Pandora laughed nervously.

"I never knew your bodyguard knew the art of mind communication, Michiru!" Pandora said excitedly like a fan girl, too happy to see her idol. Michiru's face soured.

"I never knew the two of you could hold staring contest without batting an eye for eternity" Michiru retorted. Pandora laughed.

"Jealous, are we, hmm?" Pandora teased

Michiru twitched at the comment.

"Hell no! Who would want such heartless blond?"

"Who would want to be acquainted to prune?" Haruka murmured. Michiru turned around and glared and Pandora continued laughing.

"Well, Michiru, since you don't want her, you wouldn't mind me having her would you and maybe further our acquaintance by taking a walk alone in the lovely forest near the castle?

Michiru blanched at the idea of Pandora and Haruka alone. Who knows what Pandora could to take advantage of the yet-not-so-experienced Haruka! (In Michiru's mind, she doesn't know that Haruka actually has a love life)

"Think of the accident! The media! The scandal! My brain! Pandora is the queen of…alluring and uh attracting people! And to take Haruka into a forest, they could be doing…"this" and "that"."

To what she means by "this" and "that"…let's leave that to your imagination.

Michiru got up all of a sudden. "NO!" She yelled.

Immediately all eyes were on her and she blushed in embarrassment.

"I mean no, I don't mind you going with Haruka alone, but I'd like to tag along. Who knows what Haruka, might do ne?" Michiru said calmly with a wicked smile plastered on her face. Haruka raised an eyebrow, but lowered it back down as Michiru shot her a "Be good look or else". Though Haruka wasn't intimidated, she decided to listen because any more outbursts from the ice princess may result in sleepless nights for the blond, as she would hear no end to this.

Pandora smiled, understanding that Michiru was in turmoil and decided not to tease her anymore.

"Haruka, would you be a dear, and allow Michiru and I to speak privately for a while?"

Michiru cringed at such sweetness Pandora emitted. What was worse, it felt that those two were very familiar with each other, and she had never seen the princess of hell act so prude before. She was infamous for being like Michiru.

Haruka nodded and flashed stepped out to somewhere in the castle. Michiru released a breath that she released she was holding.

"Baka! Baka! Baka! What were you thinking looking into those deep crimson eyes again?"

"You were probably more shocked that you've come back here, Haruka"

Turning around at the familiar voice, she saw was the prince of hell. Haruka smirked. They were both outside on the roof of the castle.

"Hades. It's been far too long since I've seen you." Haruka said with a small smile playing her lips.

"Ah yes, I'd say about 100 years? But you look as gorgeous as ever." Hades said with a gleam in his eyes. His eyes flickered around her body.

Haruka raised an eyebrow and her mouth twitched. "Not even a day in this castle and I'm being targeted by the two hell siblings. What's next? Their father wanting me in bed?"Haruka rolled her eyes.

"You can see all you want, Hades, but you can't touch" Haruka teased and pointed a finger at her well rounded breast.

Hades promptly turned red. Haruka tried to stifle her laughter, but it came out."Odd to see him so flustered. The man known to torture brutally looks like a child with that blush."

Hades coughed.

"Want to do a little fun, Haruka?"

"As long as it doesn't have anything with spending time in your bedroom." Haruka teased.

Hades laughed slightly. "Of course not! I'm not a complete pervert."

"Yes… and I'm not imagining you undressing me with that intense stare of yours?"

Hades eyes widened. He turned around. Haruka laughed even harder. Just then Michiru and Pandora had entered the scene.

"Well hello there, Michiru. Ah your beauty as always is blinding me." Hades smiled, stepped forward and charming kissed Michiru's hand. The ice princess blushed slightly and looked a bit dreamily.

"Oh yes, I hope it's blinding enough to blind your eyes before I pop it out of your sockets." Haruka thought bitterly.

"Ah sister, what brings you here?" Hades gave his sister a stern look. It was reciprocated with a glare.

"Why dear brother, we were looking for Michiru's bodyguard of course"

Hades twitched. "Looking for her bodyguard?"

He turned to Haruka.

"Haruka, I was going to ask you to do a little target practicing in the forest…"

That got Michiru out of her reverie.

"What is it with those two and the forest? Is it more inconspicuous to conduct acts of "this" and "that" there? Geez, at least you know they're siblings because they have the same minds. Maybe I should invite Haruka to the forest alone sometime…BAKA! Get those thoughts out of your mind! She's a cold blonde! And I need a cold shower…"

Michiru shook her head, silencing those thoughts and looked at the two siblings, smiling at them with a dangerous gleam in her eyes.

"Why don't we all go for a walk in the forest?" Michiru suggested in a dangerous tone while walking in front of Haruka and standing in a defensive position. She eyed the two siblings dangerously who in turn gulped.

Haruka sighed and groaned inwardly. "This is going to be one long walk…"

Author's note: And that is the end for this chapter. Ooooo what might happen in the forest? (laughs)

Please review me your thoughts about this chapter. I thought it was a bit, unfulfilling?
