Chapter 9

With Natsuki

Natsuki walked into the gym wearing an icy glare that made everyone jump out of her way. She walked onto the basketball court, throwing her water bottle against the far wall before picking up a basketball.

'Figures Shizuru would only view me as her best friend, tsk I'm such an idiot.' Natsuki shot a basketball into the hoop successfully making a swooshing noise. 'Fuck!' Natsuki shot again making another swoosh. 'Fuckin' hell! Is there something wrong with me or is someone up there out to get me?'

Rei watched the sweat roll down Natsuki's forehead, down her face to her neck, then under her shirt. She gulped nervously as her throat dried up.

"I was an idiot to let her go…now she won't even talk to me." Rei sighed. "But if I can't have Natsuki no one can…hmm but that doesn't mean I can't have that piece of ass." Rei's eyes moved from Natsuki to Shizuru who just walked out of the locker room.

Rei made her way over towards Shizuru, shaking her hips more than usual to get the student council president's attention.

Shizuru glanced over Rei, masking her anger towards the evil girl. She nodded her head then continued on her way towards Natsuki.

Natsuki was hitting shots like an assassin as Shizuru came up next to her. She was about to make another shot when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Natsuki gripped the ball tighter before letting it drop to the ground and turning to face Shizuru.

"Shizuru." Natsuki added a curt nod before moving her eyes to something other than Shizuru.

'Damn, I fell for the wrong person didn't I?' Natsuki watched as Kari and Tomoe walked into the gym chatting away. 'Strange, I didn't know they were friends.'

"Natsuki, are you alright, Natsuki…" Shizuru noticed the far away look in Natsuki's eyes. "…please look at me." Natsuki was about to walk away when Shizuru wrapped her arms around Natsuki's waist, knocking her out of her daze.

"H-Huh?" Natsuki blinked then blushed.

"Fufu was Natsuki thinking of something naughty?" Shizuru let go of Natsuki just as her blush darkened.

"B-Baka!" Natsuki turned her face away from Shizuru.

Shizuru held her hand over her mouth to cover up her giggles.

"Ara, ara, Natsuki is so kawaii!" Natsuki whipped her head around to face Shizuru.

'Did she just…no Natsuki she probably meant it only as a friend, yeah only friends…nothing more nothing less.' Natsuki smiled sadly, but quickly covered it up.

"Sh…" Natsuki was cut off by the gym teacher.

"Okay everyone we are going to do some sprints on the track and then break off into some field events." Most of the kids groaned, but reluctantly headed out to the track "Miss Kuga, I would suggest for you to join us out on the track or do I need to contact Kruger-san?" Natsuki rolled her eyes and followed the teacher with Shizuru and the others (Tomoe, Rei, Kari).

"This is just fabulous." Natsuki muttered causing Shizuru to laugh. 'So close yet so far away…it hurts.' Natsuki smiled bitterly.

Everyone was on the track waiting for instructions.

"Alright class, we are going to start out with the 200 meter sprint so line up at the starting line." Eight people including Shizuru and Rei lined up.

Rei set up next to Shizuru, one was gazing at the other lustfully while the other was smiling a cold smile that dropped the temperature and caused the other to shiver.

'Ara, get ready to eat dirt you bitch…how dare you hurt my Natsuki.' Shizuru looked over at Natsuki and waved, receiving one back.

Rei's eyes followed Shizuru's and ended up softening at the sight of Natsuki, but her feelings were mixed between jealousy and adoration. 'Damn Natsuki doesn't even have to try and Shizuru is staring at her like that…grrrrr….why the fuck does she get everything! Well she never did get me hehe, but I do admit that she has one hot ass.'

"Alright you guys on your mark…" Everyone got ready. "…get set…" Shizuru smirked slightly as a plan formed in her head. "…go!" Everyone took off sprinting.

As Shizuru was running she looked over to Natsuki who was watching the race intently. She then moved her gaze to Rei who was slightly ahead of her.

'Not for long.' Shizuru sped up, turned her head to look at Rei, she then winked at the girl, causing her to lose her balance and trip on her feet. Rei skidded to a stop, using her face just as Shizuru finished first in the race.

"Damn it!" Rei hit the ground as Shizuru walked up to her. "Fujino-san!" Shizuru bent down and looked in Rei's eyes.

"Ara, I want to make myself clear…" Rei's face paled at Shizuru's cold tone. "..if you ever hurt my Natsuki again or even attempt to…I with make your life unbearable." Shizuru then stood up, smile and made her way over to Natsuki.

"What the…heh…I do love a challenge." Rei got up off the ground, dusted off her clothes and headed back over towards the teacher.

With Natsuki and Shizuru

Natsuki had watched as Rei face planted and was still laughing to the point where she had tears in her eyes. She had to sit down on the grass to stop her chuckles.

"That was priceless." Natsuki laid down onto the grass with her hands behind her head.

"Ara what was priceless Na-tsu-ki?" Natsuki looked up only to see Shizuru so she grinned.

"Watching Rei biff it on the track…she so had it coming to her." Shizuru smoothed out her shorts out of habit and sat down next to Natsuki.

"Ara, I'm glad I could help cheer my Natsuki up." Shizuru smiled at Natsuki.

'Did she just…stop tormenting yourself.' Natsuki exhaled before sitting up with her hands behind her and looked at the now blue sky that held a rainbow.

"KUGA!" Natsuki calmly looked over at the angry teacher.

"What's up teach?" Natsuki watched as her teacher fumed.

"GET YOUR ASS ON THE TRACK, YOUR UP!" Both Natsuki and Shizuru winced at how loud the teacher was.

"Alright, alright." Natsuki made her way over to the track and took her place as vengeful eyes followed her movements.

'Looks like my plan is about to commence.' The teal haired girl grinned evilly as she followed the girl to the track line up.

Flashback

"If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours…then we can both have the people we wish to be with the most." Kari grinned.

"Hmmm…what do you have in mind?" Tomoe asked the girl suspiciously.

"Well if we just managed to get Natsuki away from Shizuru for a while it will be easy for both of us to have who we want."

"So your saying if we somehow capture Natsuki Kuga, Shizuru will be devastated and need a shoulder to cry on right?"

"Right and that is when you come in, comfort her, and tada you have her."

"How are you going to get that girl to soften up to you…she is kind of hard headed Kari-san." Kari just grinned at Tomoe.

"Oh I have my ways…any way what I need you to do is…"

"Get Kuga kidnapped…no problem just leave it all to me." Tomoe copied Kari's smirk.

"Alright, but once she is captured inform me on everything yes?" Tomoe nodded her head. "Good well it was a pleasure doing business with you." Kari then walked off.

'Heh…I will get the job done alright, but I never said that no harm will come to that bitch who tried to take my Shizuru from me.' Tomoe started laughing evilly.

End of Flashback

"Okay take your marks…get set…" Natsuki crouched down into a stance, ready to take off as soon as she could. She quickly glanced over at Shizuru who was smiling at her and cheering for her. Tomoe and Kari were both on either side of Natsuki grinning slightly while looking ahead. "GO!" Everyone took off sprinting down the track with Natsuki leading.

'Heh I got this in the bag…' Natsuki was halfway through the race when four black Mazdas zoomed onto the track and skidded to a stop a few feet in front of Natsuki. '…Oh shit.' Natsuki didn't have time to stop so she jumped. She ended up jumping on top of one of the cars just as guys in black suits came out, holding bats and pipes.

"Natsuki Kuga I presume?" Natsuki crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Good now I want you to come with us and we won't hurt you."

"Yeah right fat ass." Natsuki grinned dangerously at the chunky man in the suit.

"Well you heard her boys." All the men grinned evilly while making their way over to the teen.

"Bring it bitches." Natsuki jumped off the car kicking two guys in the head using a split kick.

"Get her!" Five men rushed at Natsuki with bats and metal pipes.

Natsuki used her speed against the guys, dodging the bats as they swung at her. She then grabbed one bat from a guy. She took the bat and smashed though one guy's bat and hit his head knocking him out. Natsuki jumped up to avoid more attacks.

"Hey kid….look at what we got here." Natsuki cautiously moved her gaze to the chunky guy and her eyes widened at the sight. The man had Shizuru in front of him at gunpoint. "Do as I say, get in the car, and nothing will happen to this girl here." Natsuki looked back and forth between the guy and Shizuru.

"Don't listen to him Natsuki!" Shizuru struggled against the man.

"I…"

"Well is it a yes or a no?" Natsuki sighed and closed her eyes for a sec before opening them.

"I'll go just leave them all alone." The man smirked while Shizuru's eyes widened.

"Natsuki look out behind you!" Natsuki quickly turned and met a bat.

The bat made contact with her head and she dropped to the ground. She felt blood trickle down her face. "Shit."

"NATSUKI!"

'Shizuru…' Shizuru's voice was the last thing she heard as she succomed to darkness.
