Chapter 7

"Great." Natsuki watched as Shizuru and her mother bickered. 'I think I can trust her and I hope I'm right because if I'm not…I don't think I'd be able to be fixed once I'm broken again.'

The police had just got the report written down after interviewing both Mr. and Mrs. Fujino and went to his cop car.

"That was…unnecessary." Mr. Fujino yawned.

"Well we are the infamous Fujinos dear." Mrs. Fujino walked over to Mr. Fujino and fixed his collar.

"Yes…now where is Shizuru?" Mr. Fujino looked over to a big group of fan girls fawning over Shizuru. "Shizuru certainly loves attention." Mr. Fujino chuckled then his attention moved to the girl who rescued him and his wife moments ago.

Natsuki was leaning on her bike with her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes closed. A bandage was placed on the burn and cut on her cheek and another was wrapped around her thigh. Natsuki had a calm and peaceful look on her face and Mr. Fujino wasn't the only one who noticed.

Shizuru, who was stuck in the middle of a bunch of fan girls worrying about Shizuru and awing at her beauty.

'Ara, why did my parents teach me to be so polite.' Shizuru flashed one of her fake smiles to all of her fans making half of them faint. 'Works every time fufu…ara I wonder where Natsuki could have g…' Shizuru's eyes landed on Natsuki just as the wind began playing with her hair. 'Ara…gorgeous.' One of Shizuru's fan girls named Tomoe saw Shizuru's softened expression and thought it was directed at her.

"H-Hey S-Shizuru-san." Shizuru turned her head towards Tomoe and smiled a forced smile, but Tomoe didn't notice. "Y-you're not hurt are you." Tomoe seemed genuinely worried.

"Hello Tomoe-san, no I am not hurt at all." Shizuru watched as three girls rushed up to Natsuki. "Well goodnight Tomoe-san if you will excuse me." Shizuru then made her way over to Natsuki.

With Natsuki

Natsuki was peacefully leaning against her bike enjoying the night air until she heard people shouting her name. She groaned and just she opened her eyes she was forced into a hug by no other than Mai Tokiha.

"Damn it Tokiha get off of me." Natsuki growled and Mai let go of Natsuki, but got a little too close for Natsuki's liking.

"Natsuki! I saw you on the news and came rushing over here an…oh my god what happened to your face…and your leg!" Mai started checking Natsuki for more injuries until Natsuki grabbed her hands while stepping away from her bike.

"Chill Mai I'm fine." Natsuki heard Mai inhale deeply. "Oi are you okay?"

"You just called me by my first name." Natsuki realized her mistake and let go of Mai's hands.

"Oh…my bad Toki…" Natsuki was cut off by Mai.

"Don't you dare go back to calling me Tokiha…Mai is just fine." Mai frowned before smiling widely.

"Alright, then feel free to call me Natsuki…err or continue to call me Natsuki." Natsuki gave a shrug.

"So you made it out huh mutt." Natsuki moved her eyes over to a redheaded girl who looked a bit younger than herself.

"Who the hell are you?" Natsuki raised an eyebrow at the girl who was now glaring at her.

"The name is Nao…nice to meet ya mutt." Natsuki's eyes turned stone cold as she gave the girl her iciest Kuga glare.

"Natsuki Kuga." Natsuki watched as a shiver ran down the girl's spine at her cold tone.

"Oh Natsuki." Natsuki turned her head to face Mai.

"Hmm?"

"You remember Chie right?" Natsuki looked at the boyish looking girl who was currently taking pictures of her, the house and the cops.

"Hey, hey Kuga-kun." Chie grinned and walked over them.

"Drop the -kun." Natsuki closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Alright Natsuki…" Chie waited for Natsuki to hit her over the head or something, but it never came.

'I have a feeling this Chie person is gonna be a pain in the ass.' Inner massaged her temples. 'Damn, I got one hell of a headache…looks like I need 800g of 100% Shizuru, whoop, whoop.'Inner Natsuki grinned widely and Natsuki just rolled her eyes.

'Why have I been cursed with a pervert Inner?'

'That's the same as calling yourself a pervert…pervert.' Inner grinned cheekily before grabbing a Shizuru monthly magazine.

With Shizuru

Shizuru had watched as the girl Mai Tokiha ran up and hugged her Natsuki. Her pace quickened when she also saw the red haired girl give Natsuki the once over.

'How dare she hug my Natsuki.' Shizuru was fuming on the inside. 'Ara, and did she just look at my Natsuki in that way grrrrr!'

'Attack Shizurumon use charm then use curse!' Inner Shizuru pointed at Nao and Mai.

'Shizurumon…ara did you just call me a pokemon?' Shizuru raised her eyebrows at her Inner.

'Ara of course because if you want to catch 'em all…*cough*Natsuki *cough*…then you got to beat 'em all.' Shizuru shook her head. 'Now, go Kiyohimemon!'

'Ara, note to self…when exposed to high level of stress(Natsuki rushing into a building full of armed men) plus a high level of Natsuki( the bike ride and the heroic act by Natsuki-insert drooling Shizuru.) equals Inner Shizuru going insane.' Shizuru walked up behind Natsuki.

Natsuki sighed and opened her eyes only to find lime green ones staring at her. Natsuki raised an eyebrow at the girl.

"Like what you see or something?" Natsuki chuckled when Nao turned a bit red.

"Yeah right…I was just wondering what happened t your leg." Natsuki looked down at her bandaged leg.

"Stupid bastard caught me off guard is all." Natsuki shrugged and pulled out her black berry storm phone to check the time. 'Damn it's already eleven…that took longer than I thought.' Natsuki eyes widened slightly when warm arms wrapped around her stomach and a body pressed into her back. 'What the hell?!'

'No one touches the Natsuki and gets away from it except my girl Shizuru.' Inner Natsuki had on a leather jacket with her collar popped, and toothpick in her mouth while pointing both thumbs at herself.

"Ara, what has Natsuki been doing since I've been gone hmmm?" Shizuru placed her chin on Natsuki's shoulder, looking over at the others while Natsuki turned her head towards the blond locks.

"Just talking to some…uh…friends, or I think they are." Natsuki turned her head quickly to the gasp that just sounded. 'Oh shit.' Mai's eyes were wide and she had one of the biggest grins Natsuki had ever seen.

"Ara, I see." Shizuru's eyes narrowed at Mai's expression, but no one could tell.

"Do you really mean it…Natsuki?" Natsuki was faced with watery violet eyes filled with hope and joy.

"Yeeeaaaahhhhh, but I think I regret it." Natsuki was wary of Mai's even cheerier expression.

"Ara, Tokiha-san do you have a crush on Natsuki?" Shizuru asked, making it sound teasingly, but underneath the teasing she was hostel and Mai saw it.

"Haha, I admit that Natsuki is quiet handsome, but I kind of have someone else…" Mai turned a bit pink at the thought.

"Ara I wonder who Miss Tokiha could ever be talking about…hmm…maybe someone with blond hair and sideburns?" Shizuru was full on teasing Mai now that she knew that the other girl was into someone else.

"Yeah Mai…I heard you and Tate were pretty cozy in the library the other day." Chie wagged her eyebrows at Mai who just crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the thought of Tate.

"Actually no…we didn't work out…I have someone else." Mai's face was rosy now.

"Oh ho ho, who is the lucky guy?" Chie's grin was wider than before.

"It's…n." Natsuki decided to step in and save Mai from further embarrassment.

"Uh…guys I'm gonna be heading home 'k." Everyone nodded their heads and Shizuru let go of Natsuki.

"Yeah I gotta get going also…you know Aoi." Chie chuckled.

"I have to study for that big physics test tomorrow." Mai said goodbye to everyone then left with Chie, se was her ride.

"Well it was nice meeting ya mutt…later." Nao waved then sauntered away, trying to gain Natsuki's attention, but failing.

"Ugh…those guys are such a pain in my ass." Natsuki rubbed her forehead while Shizuru watched her with amusement.

"Ara, I wonder what those girls do to Natsuki that make her bottom feel pain?" Shizuru faked an innocent look as she waited for Natsuki's expression.

"What do you…SHIZURU!" Natsuki's face was a tomato and Shizuru couldn't help, but giggle.

"Fufu." Shizuru placed a hand over her mouth to contain the giggles, but even more escape.

"Soooo…do you and your parents have a place to say?" Shizuru almost swooned at Natsuki's rosy cheeks and the cute way she asked the question.

"Ara, is Natsuki worrying about me…Natsuki is too sweet." That alone produced another blush on Natsuki's face.

"…"

"If Natsuki was wondering…my parents and I were going to stay at their condo in town, but if Natsuki was going to offer me to stay at her house I would have to accept her offer."

"Baka!"

Once Natsuki got her blush under control she looked up at the star lit night and exhaled, she watched as her breath lifted into the sky then disappeared. Her eyes then searched for the moon only to realize that it was covered by clouds. Natsuki's face grew somber, the events that had just accrued and the sky reminded Natsuki of a time she'd rather forget.

Shizuru noticed Natsuki's suddenly quiet presence and glanced at the girl.

'Why is…Natsuki.' Shizuru examined the serious yet dejected look upon Natsuki's face. "Natsuki?" Said girl turned and faced Shizuru, the expression now gone.

"Hmm?"

"Are you alright?" Natsuki tried to pull off a grin, but the look in her eyes reinforced Shizuru's suspicions of something being wrong.

"I'll manage." Shizuru grabbed Natsuki's face before she could turn away.

"You know you can tell me anything Natsuki." Natsuki looked into worried crimson eyes.

"It's kinda hard to explain."

"Talking might help...please Natsuki."

"Alright I'll try…"Natsuki took a shaky breath. "It's like my mind knows what's right, but my heart is being retarded and still cares about what happened."

"Ara…I don't understand." Natsuki smiled a sad little smile and Shizuru let go of her face.

"Let me try again…if you ever ask me how many times my heart has been broken by a single person I would tell you to look at the sky and count the stars." Shizuru's eyes widened and tears welled up in her eyes, but Natsuki's face was turned away to look at the sky.

"Natsuki…"

"Well I should get going Shizuru…see ya tomorrow." Natsuki gave Shizuru one last barely noticeable smile before getting on her bike and saying goodbye.

'If you ever give me the chance…I can promise I would never dream of hurting you.' Shizuru could only look after the disappearing figure.

With Natsuki

'Why did I have to remember her.' Inner decided to stay quiet.

Flashback two years ago

Natsuki was walking aimlessly through a park one day, skipping school. She was in the park because all the teachers knew all of her spots to skip on school grounds. She was enjoying herself when she heard a scream.

'Heh…some idiot must be playing tag with another idiot.' Natsuki continued on her way to a certain spot in the park. She noticed that as she got closer the screaming got louder and the sound of splashing could be heard.

'Why don't ya go and check it out…we have nothing better to do.' Inner Natsuki was laying on a couch upside down, bored as hell.

'Why not.' Natsuki stuck her hands into the pockets of her jeans and continued heading towards the noise.

When Natsuki reached a lake, she saw a figure frantically pacing back and forth alongside the edge of a lake while shouting to someone in the water. Natsuki walked up to the frantic girl and looked out at the lake only to see someone splashing.

"Yo, what's up with all the noise?" The girl beside Natsuki jumped, but before Natsuki knew what was happening the girl latched onto her and was talking so fast that Natsuki had no idea what she was saying. "Get off!" Natsuki shoved the girl off of her.

"Please Kuga-san, pleas just help my friend…she can't swim!" Natsuki just raised an eyebrow and scowled.

"Then why don't you do it." Natsuki's harsh retort gave the desired reaction, the girl backed even further away from Natsuki.

"B-because I-I c-can't swim e-either." Natsuki had a strong urge to hit herself in the face.

"Tsk…if I do this will you leave this place and let me have some fucking peace?" The girl quickly nodded her head.

Natsuki quickly took off her fat farm shoes and jumped into the lake. She swam as fast as she could when she saw the other person go under the water's surface. Natsuki got closer to the person and dove under the water's surface. She kicked her legs harder to get to the sinking figure. She finally grabbed onto the person and brought them both to the surface. Natsuki then swam over to the edge of the lake and pulled the unconscious figure onto the sandy bank.

"Oh my god Rei!" Natsuki g out of the way just as the crazy brunette ran past her. "Come on Rei, Rei…what is wrong with her?" Natsuki looked at the girl.

'Are you talking to us crazy?' Inner was just as confused as Natsuki.

"probably inhaled water." shrugged her shoulders.

"How the hell are you so calm!" The girl grabbed Natsuki's shirt collar. "I see why you are called the ice princess!"

"Get the hell off!" Natsuki then sent her fist into the girl's cheek. "It's not my problem, besides all you have to do is C.P.R." Natsuki was about to walk away when she felt a hand grab her arm.

"Please…help my friend." The girl had tears running down her face and she was practically on her knees.

"After this just leave me the hell alone." Natsuki sighed and ran a hand through her wet locks as the girl nodded her head.

Natsuki walked over to the unconscious girl, knelt down next to her, and placed her ear near her chest to listen for breathing. When she didn't hear anything she started to do chest compressions with out the mouth to mouth. After about thirty minutes the girl started to cough up water and Natsuki was met with silverish blue eyes.

"Rei!" The crazy girl launched herself at the barely conscious girl and wrapped her in a tight embrace.

Natsuki just sat back on her knees before standing up and yawning. She then started to leave when her arm was grabbed again.

"What the hell is wr…" Natsuki turned around and met thankful blue eyes which stunned her for a moment.

"Thank you so much Kuga-san I owe you one." The crazy girl suddenly wrapped her arms around the girl known for a heart made of ice.

"Damn it get off!" Natsuki struggled to get the girl off, but all the girl did was laugh and hug her tighter. The two were unaware of the jealous silver-green eyes. Natsuki finally shoved the girl off. "Hey crazy, next time someone helps ya out don't go around latching onto them like you've known them for years." Natsuki then left.

A few days after the incident, Natsuki had become revered as a hero. Just to get away from everyone Natsuki skipped more and more school. On one day in particular Natsuki was walking towards the roof she found the girl she save a few days ago laying on the rooftop. Natsuki was about to walk away when the girl called out to her.

"Kuga-san." Natsuki stopped and turned towards the girl with a raised eyebrow. "I wanted to thank you for what you did."

"Okay…you did, so bye." Natsuki turned around to leave, but the girl stopped her again.

"Kuga-san?"

"What do you want from me…what do all you people want from me!?" Natsuki was starting to get sick of all the attention and the adoring looks she kept getting.

"I just wanted to repay you for saving me." Natsuki gave the girl a skeptic look. "Please just let me do this to thank you." Natsuki rolled her eyes at the girl who was giving her puppy dog eyes.

"I…uh…I guess." The girl then latched onto Natsuki and from that day on the two were never separated.

Every day, Natsuki found herself failing in love with the girl.

Natsuki was thinking about how it started out, one day she was hanging out with Rei then she looked at her and her stomach exploded with butterflies. Natsuki caught sight of Rei and followed secretly behind her, holding a bracelet she had gotten for the girl so she could ask her to be her girlfriend.

Rei disappeared behind the old library doors and Natsuki soon followed after. She looked around the dimly lit, spacious room.

'I wonder where she could be?' Natsuki looked around the maze of books until she heard talking. 'That's her.' Natsuki was about to approach the girl when she heard another voice.

"Why did you ask me to come here Rei?" Natsuki remembered the voice, it was the voice of Kari Pore. 'She was that girl who was with Rei when I saved her.'

'Hmmm wonder what they are doing?' Inner pretended to look around a corner.

'I don't know…' Natsuki peeked around the corner just enough to see the two girls.

"I want to know why you like Natsuki Kuga so much." Kari avoided Rei's intense gaze.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't give me that shit…I've seen the way you look at her…don' lie to me!" Rei grabbed Kari's collar from across the table.

"I-I…" Rei forcefully slammed her lips against the girl's making the other's eyes widen.

After a few minutes of kissing Rei noticed the lack of response from the girl and broke the kiss.

"Why is she so special…she is nothing, but a cold hearted bitch!" Natsuki's eyes widened and so did Inner's.

'How…I thought she…' Natsuki wanted to cry, but refused too. She could hear the cracking of her heart slowly shattering with every word Rei continued to say.

"How dare you talk about the wonderful person who saved your life that day." A slap was delivered to Rei's cheek. "You first treat her like you want to be best friends with the girl…maybe even more and now that you have that you talk shit about her!" Another slap was dealt to Rei's face just as another crack formed on Natsuki's heart.

"Are you that blind Kari!" The girl was taken aback by the sudden burst. "I love you…even before that stupid bitch got in the way." Kari sat there stunned as Natsuki's heart nearly shattered.

"If you love me then why do you pull Natsuki around…she doesn't deserve it, it wasn't her fault that you lived it was mine…" Rei's eyes grew bigger. "I asked her to save your life."

"Y-you a-asked her?"

"Yes, I didn't want to lose my best friend." Natsuki leaned her back against the bookshelf and slowly slid down to the floor. "I don't know why I ever wanted someone as cold as you for a friend though…can't you see the way she looks at you…do you know how lucky you are!?"

"And that is the reason I did it!"

"What?"

"I purposely made sure to become really good friends with Natsuki Kuga because she doesn't deserve you…I do." Kari could only stare at her friend in disappointment. "You always had a thing for her just as I do for you, but you won't even look my way!"

"I…"

"You always look at Kuga like she is something else, so yeah I intentionally wanted to become close to her to find some way to break her to the point where you wouldn't be able to have her…you're mine alone!" Kari kicked Rei's chair so she stumbled onto the floor.

"I am nobody's!" Kari stood up. "I can't believe my best friend would do something so terrible to someone as caring as Natsuki." Natsuki's heart continued to shatter.

"Caring, ha! She isn't called the ice princess for a reason you know!" Kari couldn't believe the girl.

"She was caring enough to save your pathetic life and to give you a shot of happiness." Rei was confused. "You're and idiot, Natsuki Kuga is in love with you the looks she gives you are not ones of just adoration, but of someone hopelessly in love." Rei glared.

"Then I'll break her heart in the way you are doing to me." Rei smirked. "It will be an even better way to get her for taking you away from me."

"She didn't take me away from you…I wanted to." Natsuki's face became emotionless as she stood up, the last part of her heart cracked then dropped onto the floor; shattering into a million pieces.

"Well then I'll just have to take you b…" Rei was stopped when Natsuki walked into the room. "Hey Natsuki." Rei smiled a fake smile at Natsuki and waved.

Natsuki just narrowed her sole less eyes at the girl. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the golden bracelet with a heart attached to it. Natsuki gripped the heart charm, pulled it off, then flicked it right at Rei's forehead.

"Hey what was that for Natsuki?" Rei rubbed her forehead and looked into Natsuki's cold eyes. "Na…"

"Don't call me that…oh and here I guess I don't need it anymore heh." Natsuki threw the bracelet at her.

"Wh…" Rei read the engraving on the bracelet.

As long as the heart charm hangs on this bracelet unmarked, you will have my heart-Natsuki.

Rei looked up at the girl who was walking away.

"Natsuki…I…" Natsuki looked at the girl over her shoulder.

"Shove it…the heart charm is far from unscathed now." Natsuki was right, there was a crack right down the middle of the heart of gold. "And you say I'm cold…no, it's people like you who make me this way…people who play with other's hearts until they stomp them into the ground." That was the last day either girl saw of Natsuki.

They both found out that Natsuki had moved because of family business.

End Flashback

Natsuki pulled into her driveway, turned off the engine, and went inside. She took a shower then crawled into bed.

'Ever since that day…my heart has been almost unfixable.'

'Until Shizuru came by holding a hot glue gun to put back the pieces.' Inner smiled when Natsuki dozed off with a small smile on her face.

The Next Day

Natsuki was sitting in class next to Shizuru in Physics class when the teacher announced that there was going to be two new students. Being Natsuki, she ignored the teacher and started to doodle.

"Ara, Natsuki that is rude."

"So?"

"Ara…" Shizuru watched as two girls walked into the classroom with out looking at each other. 'The two don't seem to like each other much.'

"Well, why don't you two introduce yourselves?" The two nodded at the teacher, before sending a glare at one another.

"My Name is Kari Pore…"

"I am Rei Tsune…"

Natsuki heard the familiar voices and names and looked up only to be met with the one of the two people who nearly destroyed her.

"NATSUKI!"
