The Silly Tactics to Make You Fall In Love

Chapter 7: Silly Tactic # 2: Decoy

Bedrooms headquarters

That idiot…I am going to regret what? Not being able to look like a stupid in front of everyone? Midori-sensei is seriously out of her mind! I am totally against that plan of hers! Make someone jealous is something…but using someone and playing with the feelings just to get attention of the one you love, sucks…it really sucks cause it happened to me…so the hell that I am allowing that to happen to someone else!

And I thought that pooch got a really messed up love situation, I mean how can you make such a smoking hot goddess like that to fall in love with you in less than a month? But it seems that it is possible, because Shizuru-hime at least gave her an opportunity…but I am the real screwed up, how can you make someone that doesn't love you and is never going to… to fall in love huh? You simply can't… but that doesn't mean that I am going to desist or something, that is just not the way I am…

I am the most stupid idiot alive, I have a huge crush on the only person that admitted that I wasn't something serious…but not even the fact, that I realized that in the most painful way has stopped me on still having the hots for her. Moreover, as smoking hot as she is looking lately, I'm afraid that it has just provoked me to fall even more…but how can I make her to feel the same…it really sucks to be me…

So I am currently in the same situation of the pooch; my crush doesn't pay attention to me anymore…well she can't still be mad for what happened three years ago right? I really think that she should get over it…besides the only stupid that got heartbroken was me…so why she is still playing the victim? She shouldn't be playing the victim in the first place! I was the bloody victim! Damn it! Why I had to fall in love with the most impossible girl huh? Now that I think about it…being so impossible is what it makes her so hot...enough thinking about her…I better check out what the hell that pooch is doing…

I just hope that idiot is not wasting her time in the gardens with Shizuru-hime… damn so many things you can actually do there without being noticed! Huh but senpai is still watching over them! Not fair! I'll get a little closer perhaps I will be able to see whatever the pooch is doing! I am so going to spy them doesn't matter that Chie-senpai notices me, after all she can't say anything or she would get her ugly ass caught!

Palace Gardens

"Sorry for that again Shizuru-san… the first time we met I also did this without your permission, I am such an idiot…"

"I really do not mind being carried by Kruger-san, besides I should be the one apologizing, the first time that she did it was because I was being stubborn and Kruger-san was very sweet to care about me…"

"-blushing- I…it was no-thing Shizuru-san… but I was very mean to you, it really wasn't my intention to be so…cold. Is just that I got angry when you called me a savage…but I have to admit that I really liked when you apologized…that made me change my opinion about you Shizuru-san…"

"Ara so Kruger-san had a different opinion about me before that?"

"Uh…well…yes I had…the day that we met, I was summoned by the council and they announced that I had to get married and that it was already settled… I was very angry at that moment; I really didn't wanted to get married with a spoiled royal lady… That was the reason of why I was taking a walk to calm myself down and then I jumped out to rescue you…"

"So Kruger-san thinks that I am spoiled? Kruger-san is so mean!"

"N-no of course that I don't think that you are spoiled Shizuru-san! That was before I met you!"

Behind a bush in the gardens…

Cool! I can hear perfectly what that idiot pooch is talking with Shizuru-hime! Time to find out how to make smoking hot ladies fall for you! Yeah finding out that secret is even better than a bunch of clad underwear hotties!

"Um…Shizuru-san… I need to tell you something…"

"Kruger-san..."

"I overheard your conversation with Midori-sensei…. I am sorry Shizuru-san. I should have told you before about my past…but its difficult for me to talk about it…I hope that you understand…I really wanted to tell you by myself…"

"Please do not say such things…I understand that it must be difficult for Kruger-san to talk about her past, I was very impolite to ask Sugiura-san about it…please forgive me…"

"Shizuru-san…don't apologize! I know that…we are currently pretending…but I guess that you wanted to find more about me...after all you want to know the person that you are going to see for the rest of… the month…" I wish that we were not pretending Shizuru…I wish that you could give me a chance…but I cannot control your feelings…

"The rest of the month? Ara…so Kruger-san does not like me? Mou Kruger-san is so mean!"

"What? N-no! I didn't mean it in that way! Of course that I like you-" I should not have said that…damn my face is burning!

"-Blushing- Kruger-san…" why my heart is beating so fast…I was not expecting such answer…

"-blushing- ehh…do you have any questions…of what Midori-sensei told you, Shizuru-san?" this is embarrassing…maybe she is thinking that I am an idiot or something…

"Kruger-san listened to everything that I was talking with Midori-san?" then…she must have heard what I said about her…

"Actually…uh…yes…and I wanted to ask you Shizuru-san…do you really mean it when you said…that…that you see gentleness in my eyes?"

"Yes…I really mean it…Kruger-san has such beautiful eyes, when I saw them I never doubted that Kruger-san was sweet and gentle, and they are even more beautiful when she is transformed…"

"-Blushing- Shizuru-san…I think that y-you are the one that has the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen…" Shizuru…what you just said…you are not scared of me…that just have strengthened my resolve…there is no way that I am letting you go now Shizuru…

Bloody god…those two are getting too mushy for my taste…I didn't knew that the pooch was such a sweet talker…what is that? Huh is Shizuru-hime giving her the look? Oh yes she is! Pooch don't be such an idiot and kiss her! Bloody god this is your opportunity pooch! Don't you dare to waste it you sucker!

"Natsuki-san…"

"Shizuru-san…you…she just…called me by my name! Bloody god I am the luckiest person alive! Huh but why is she getting so close…and she is looking at me so weird…what is she trying to tell me? does she want me to? Oh yes! That must be it! I am such an idiot by not noticing before!...um you are getting cold right? Do…you want to go back to your room?"

"Oh…of course…" I must learn to control myself…for god sake I was about to kiss her…but it seems that Natsuki-san is not very interested…did she say that to avoid me?

"Ok! Then let me escort you back!" Natsuki you are such a genius aren't you huh? Of course, that she was being close to me because she was getting cold! Ha! And she was looking at me like that because she is so polite, that she didn't wanted to say it out loud! That spider was so wrong about me! I am not naïve heheh!!!

ARGG! I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF! HOW CAN YOU BE SOOOO STUPID NATSUKI! THAT WAS THE PERFECT MOMENT AND PLACE TO KISS HER! OH BLOODY GOD I AM SO GOING TO KICK HER BUTT FOR THIS!

Royal bedrooms headquarters

"Here we are! I…I really had a great time talking to you Shizuru…"

"Me too Natsuki-san, -blushing- I am looking forward to know each other better at some other time…"

"Really? I mean…o-of course you just need to ask me…"

"-giggling- well it is really late, could Natsuki-san come a little closer?" you avoided my first kiss attempt! You are such a bad girl Natsuki-san, could it be that you are getting tired of me already?

"O-ok…" damn…my heart is beating so fast I just hope that she is not teasing me…

"A little closer please…" I must tell Natsuki-san how I feel about her…it is not fair for her…

"L-like t-this…" kami...please I don't want her to tease me…

"Yes is perfect…" I am afraid of saying those words…but if I do not tell her…Natsuki-san would think that I am not interested in her…

"Shizuru-san…what…are you doing-" I can't believe this! She is hugging me! Kami! I could die happily in this moment…

"-Whispering- Na-tsu-ki-san, tonight I had a wonderful time with you, no one has ever said such a beautiful thing about me before, your words are so sweet and I…I would actually like to believe in what you said… So please…I beg of you to not play with my feelings because I…I like Natsuki-san…"

"Uhh..I…I have…t-to go n-now…" She likes me…she said that she likes me! kami…she really likes me!!!

"Oh…good night then Natsuki-san…" I was right…Natsuki-san is not interested in me anymore…

"Uh...h-hey Shizuru-san…"

"Yes Natsuki-san?"

"Eh…g-good night to you too…and…"

"And….?"

"I would never play with your feelings! Because…I …I like you too Shizuru-san…a lot…"

"Natsuki-san…"

"-Blushing- Uh…s-sweet dreams!" I have to get out of here now…I don't want to look like an idiot…

Palace gardens…

"Oi! Chie-senpai! Could you appear please?"

-Poof- "Nao-san! If I recall I told you to return to the headquarters, what are you doing here?"

"I'm…sorry to disobey you Chie-senpai! However, I needed to check out the situation between the pooch and Shizuru-hime…and seriously I think that we have a huge problem…"

"Haha aren't you overreacting Nao-san? However, I have to confess that I have never met someone as naïve as our majesty! It was so obvious that Shizuru-hime wanted to kiss her…Natsuki-sama has such an innocent mind!"

"See? That's why this is an emergency! Can't you see senpai? I thought that the pooch needed our help about how to hit on Shizuru-hime…but I think that we have a serious problem…she is excessively shy and innocent! She can't even recognize when someone wants to kiss her! What if Shizuru-hime, mistakes her naive attitude for disinterest huh? What are we going to do?"

"You got a point there Nao-san... we have less than a month to make Shizuru-hime to fall for our majesty…she already likes her…but we know that "like" is not the same as "love"…and if she keep it like this, She could say good bye to Shizuru-hime…"

"Well…it seems that we need to make a plan…but it has to be for tonight! Since today they were really close, this is the perfect opportunity!"

"What do you have in mind Nao-san? It is really late…Shizuru-hime is probably sleeping right now, and since our majesty escorted her back maybe she is sleeping too…"

"But that is not a problem at all senpai! Because for this tactic, we do need Shizuru-hime to be sleeping! Trust me senpai! This tactic is a huge success! I have tried it by myself! So there is no doubt that it will work out!"

"Shizuru-hime sleeping? What are you planning Nao-san! It can't be something bold, if our majesty finds out about it she would definitely beat us to a pulp!"

"I am not going to anything to her senpai! Just listen to this…Shizuru-hime's room is next to the pooch bedroom right?"

"Yes…but I am still without understanding your intentions Nao-san…"

"Hehe you will see…since the rooms are next to each other, both of them could hear perfectly to what is happening in the other room, so all that we have to do is make Shizuru-hime scream!"

"Scream? Please tell me the details!"

"Heheh see Chie-senpai? I told you that this Tactic is a huge success! This is the plan senpai…one of us disguises; we use the disappearing technique and then reappear inside of her room! When one of us is inside the room, we would start to make some stupid weird noise, and that would definitely scare the hell out of her. Why? Because she would scream like crazy and the pooch will be the only one to hear it, since her room is next to hers, I bet that pooch will immediately run to her rescue, Shizuru-hime would be so scared to sleep alone that she would ask the pooch to stay with her in the same room! There! What do you think? It never fails!..."

"Nao-san…that was brilliant! How do you manage to think about such a thing?"

"Well…I have a crush on the most impossible girl; I definitely need some good Tactics to use with her, when I gather enough courage of course…" yeah…like that is going to happen soon…

"I see! But there is a little problem with your plan…well two in fact Nao-san…"

"Huh? What is wrong?"

"Don't you remember that our majesty sleeps like a log? And there is also a possibility that Shizuru-hime wouldn't scream… what if she is one of those girls that are not scared of that kind of things?"

"Trust me Chie-senpai! She is so going to scream! I know many girls! and I can clearly identify that type of girl, and Shizuru-hime is so not one of them…"

"But don't you remember Nao-san? Shizuru-hime actually thinks that our majesty looks "cute" when she is transformed! Do you call that a scared girl?"

"Come on! That's because when the pooch is transformed she looks like a giant piece of fur …that isn't very scary you know…"

"Hahah...you better not tell that to Natsuki-sama or she would get really angry!"

"Haha I know that she wouldn't like that! Actually, what it worries me the most is the pooch…you are right, she sleeps like a log…anyways we are not going to find out if we don't try! So let's go Chie-senpai!"

"Before we start, why don't you pay our majesty a visit first? To check out if she is sleeping or not!"

"You are right Chie-senpai! I will see how the pooch is doing, before starting with the plan!"

Royal bedroom headquarters

"-Knocking- Hey pooch! Huh? What the hell?"

"YEAH!!! AHHAHAHA SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE SAID THAT SHE LIKES ME!!! OH BLOODY HELL! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!"

"Pooch??? Is that really you? What the hell are you doing screaming like an idiot at this hour? And even worse you are all sprawled in the freaking floor! Are you idiot out of your mind or something?"

"Hahaha come on Nao! I am just extremely happy! She likes me you know! Shizuru likes me! She told me that she likes me!!! And she even hugged me! Can you believe it? That is just so awesome!"

"You are like that just because a bloody hug? Damn it! I don't want to see what the hell you are going to do after she gets in your pants…"

"SHUT IT! –Furiously blushing- do you idiot have to talk about perverted stuff all the time? Hah but not even your perverted attitude or the fact that you were spying us is going to change my mood! I am so happy! I doubt that I will be able to sleep!"

"Yeah I can see that…you are grinning like an idiot! Wait a second…spying you? No I wasn't!!!"

"The hell that you were spying us on the gardens! You can't fool me spider!"

"Bloody hell…but how did you?"

"Don't you idiot remember that I am a "werewolf"? I can hear you; I can smell you at kilometers and of course that I can see you in the darkness!"

"You didn't saw me I was hidden! I don't smell so that's definitely out of the question! So that only means… that you heard me! You bloody pooch!"

"Actually spider, I didn't see you neither I heard you, your stench was your giveaway!"

"SHUT UP! THAT IS SO NOT TRUE YOU I-IDIOT!"

"Hahaha! Calm down spider! It was only a joke! Why are you so touchy huh? Does cute little Nao-chan needs her Marguerite-san to cuddle her?"

"ARGG! POOCH SHUT UP! YOU ARE SO BLOODY ANNOYING! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

SMACK!

"Ouch! It was only a bloody joke!…anyways why were you listening to my conversation with Shizuru huh?"

"Nothing of your business pooch! Ha! I better go back to my room! If you loser want to keep acting like an idiot then go ahead! But tomorrow we would have a serious talk about how much you screw it in the gardens! And don't mention anything about Tomoe-san again you sucker!" why that loser had to mention her…that just reminded me that she already has a chance but I am still the one that is screwed up…

"Oi! Nao! Wait! You don't need to get so angry! Besides I didn't screw it up with Shizuru right?" what is wrong with that spider huh? She usually likes to be teased…I guess that anything that involves her crush is not joking material…

"Shut it you sissy! I am not angry! Now go to sleep its really late you sucker!"

"Good night spider! And I am not a sissy you loser!"

"Yeah right…night pooch!" hehehe this is perfect! She is too excited about that bloody hug that Shizuru-hime gave her, that I doubt that she would sleep so fast. Sleeping like a log problem: solved! Now I just need to wait and scare Shizuru-hime…

Academy rooftops…

"So how is our majesty doing Nao-san?"

"How is she doing? Well…Shizuru-hime told her that she likes her…and she is acting like an idiot inside of her room…"

"Hahaha that Natsuki-sama! Well if she is awake, it is better to wait until she is asleep, because she might suspect of you Nao-san…"

"Yes…you are right senpai…but it seems that unlike that idiotic pooch, Shizuru-hime is already sleeping...damn it pooch! Sleep!"

One hour later…

"Bloody god! It was about time! That sucker! The things that I do for friendship! I should be sleeping already! How I am going to attend all my hotties if I don't wake up early huh? And I have a crush to keep an eye on! I got a busy schedule! Damn it! I am so not going to have enough time tomorrow! "

"Calm down Nao-san…now that it is finally the time… who is going to disguise and enter on Shizuru-hime's bedroom?"

"I am going to senpai…because I need your help to get out of there quickly! After she screams you are going to teleport us to a safe place!"

"Leave that to me Nao-san! Nobody is as fast as I am teleporting! However, I think that I should disguise as well! I do not want to be recognized by Shizuru-hime…"

"Here…cover your face senpai! Let's start with this Tactic! Hahaha this is going to be so much fun! Pooch consider this your upcoming birthday present! Yeah! what could be better that sharing the same bed with a smoking hot goddess huh? Wait a second…there is something even better than that! GETTING IN HER PANTS! AHAHAHA!"

"Hahah! You are really something Nao-san! But you should lower your voice, we don't want to screw this mission right? Besides the probabilities of Natsuki-sama doing that as naïve as she is are near zero…"

"Heh sorry senpai! I got carried away! I guess that you are right senpai…but I believe that pooch at least will give Shizuru-hime the kiss that she was supposed to give her on the gardens …sometimes a kiss could lead to something else heheh…"

"-Sigh- if Natsuki-sama kisses her that would be like a miracle…I doubt that "something else" would actually happen…"

"Nah! I know that pooch is naïve…but no one is that stupid! You will see senpai! After this Shizuru-hime is so going to get married with her!" pooch this is your golden opportunity! I know that you are not going to screw it…because if you do…I am going to kill you…

Royal bedrooms headquarters

"-Whispering- okay…we are outside Shizuru-hime's bedroom, wait here Chie-senpai. When you hear Shizuru-hime screaming, appear inside and teleport me out of there! But you gotta be fast senpai! I don't want an early grave you know…pooch can get really pissed off when she transforms in that gigantic piece of fur!"

"-Whispering- don't worry about that I assure you that within a second we both will be out of the headquarters! However, I have been wondering…how did you managed to do this Tactic before, if you do not fully dominate the disappearing technique Nao-san? Are you sure that you can this time? I mean last time well you…hehe your clothes…ha…hahah"

"-Whispering- shut it senpai! I told you before that I have been practicing! This Tactic is what I have been doing to "practice"… I just need to focus, so stop laughing already Chie-senpai!"

"-Whispering- hehe ok I'm sorry Nao-san! Now let's start!"

"Ok…I already find out why I was disappearing my own bloody clothes…it was because on that moments I was thinking about hotties, smoking hot asses and Tomoe-san…so I have to focus! Focus on Shizuru-hime's bedroom…ok…I think I got it…disappear!"

-Poof-

"….." wow Nao-san…she did actually disappeared!

Shizuru 's bedroom…

Huh…I can't see a bloody thing…damn that was so cool! I did it at my first attempt! Days ago, I needed to do it a few times before it actually worked! Guess I'm getting good at this! The next technique that I am going to learn is that awesome stealth thing to spy some hotties heheh…huh but now is not the time for thinking about that!

I should scare Shizuru-hime…but…what I should do…I can't say something stupid like "boo!" That would sound so bloody fake and stupid…well…last time I used my evil laugh but that is excessively stupid…maybe I should growl, howl or something? But If she likes the pooch… then that is not going to scare her either…

I am so screwed up right now…I have to get my sleep…or I am not going to wake up early to check out my crush…bloody god I am going to miss Tomoe-san in the morning! Oh bloody god no! Morning equals mini skirt! Tomoe-san wearing a mini skirt! I can't miss that! argg I c-can't think-

"ARRGGG!"

"……." W-what was that sound…could…it be a…g-ghost oh no…you are being f-foolish Shizuru…they d-do not exist…right?

Shit…I can't stay here for too long now…she is awake but she hasn't screamed yet…oh screw it…It doesn't matter that I sound like an idiot…after all seeing Tomoe-san in the morning is worth it…

"MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAA! NATSUKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

-poof-

Natsuki's bedroom…

"KYAAAAAAAAAA! NATSUKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Uhg…what? What the- SHIZURU-SAN?"

Bloody hell! I need my swords! I am going to kill the fucking bastard that dares to do something to her! That intruder must have used the windows! There is no way that they would use the door! I am not holding myself this time! Whoever is in her room right now is so dead! I'm almost there Shizuru!

Shizuru's bedroom…

"SHIZURU-SAN! DON'T WORRY I'M HERE-"

"Natsuki-san!"

"What? Where is the-…oof…ugh… Shizuru-san get off me…p-please…"

"I-it was…horrible Natsuki-san…it was the most horrible thing that I have ever seen! No, I am not getting off Natsuki-san…no after what I just seen in this room… "

"What are you talking about Shizuru-san? There is nothing in this room…in fact I don't smell anything…if someone was here, trust me that I would already knew about it…"

"Ara…maybe Natsuki-san would think that I am lying but…I s-saw it! It…it was a g-ghost…"

"pffft…he..he..hahhaha! Oh bloody god! that is a good one Shizuru-san! Hahaha a ghost! Yeah right! And under my bed I saw a dragon! hahahah"

"Natsuki-san is such a mean girl! I am terrified and she is making fun of me…"

"Oh! No! No! I'm sorry! Please forgive me Shizuru-san! Um…if this makes you feel better, I am going to check the entire room and outside to prove that there is nothing there ok?" I guess that she is not lying…she seems scared…but a ghost?

"Then Natsuki-san must take me with her because I am not staying here alone…"

"Does that mean that you are not letting me go Shizuru-san?"

"-Smiling- yes…"

"-Sigh- ok …what do you want me to do then Shizuru-san? As much as I am enjoying- I…I mean…eh we can't stay here on the floor...I am starting to get cold…"

"Ara…I didn't notice that Natsuki-san wasn't wearing her usual clothes…but I must say that they really look good on her…"

"-blushing- Hey…s-stop it Shizuru-san!" bloody god…I was so focused on rescuing her that I just forgot about that…damn again I looked like a total idiot in front of her…way to go…

"-giggling- I am sorry Natsuki-san…ara maybe Natsuki-san is going to think that I am a coward…but could Natsuki-san be kind enough to stay with me? I really don't feel like sleeping alone anymore…"

"………"-panicking- oh bloody hell…she just…we are going to sleep in the same bed? damn I am such a perverted idiot! Of course, that she didn't asked that with those intentions…but I can't stop thinking about that awesome body of hers…oh no I just sounded like Nao! I need to calm myself! I don't want her to think that I am a pervert!

"Natsuki-san?"

"O-ok…but could you loose a little your grip on me Shizuru-san? It's making me…um…nervous…eh…c-could you just…p-please?"

"Mou…I don't want to…I am still terrified…"

"Shizuru-san…we can't stand up if you don't let me go! Do you want to sleep on the floor?"

"If Natsuki-san is here then yes…"

"-Blushing- S-silly! I am not allowing you to sleep on the floor! You are going to catch a cold! If you want to play in that way Shizuru-san, Then I guess that I will have to lift you…so um…d-don't m-move ok?" this is so embarrassing…but this is for her own good! I just hope that she doesn't move I don't want to end up doing anything pervert like the last time…

"-Smiling- as Natsuki-san wishes…"

Bloody god…I haven't been so close to anybody like this before! Why she is so stubborn! Now I have to lift her…not that I am complaining…b-but to do so…I have to grab her…L-legs…damn it! I- I just have to do it quickly because if I keep my hands there for too long…she is so going to think that I am a huge pervert taking advantage of her because she is scared… S-so here I go!

"Um…Shizuru-san…d-do you want me to place you in y-your b-bed?" bloody god…just say yes Shizuru! I just hope that she changes her mind about me sleeping with her in the same bed…because if she does not, then I am so going to pass out of embarrassment…

"Ara…if I recall I told Natsuki-san that I am not letting her go, or does Natsuki-san find it uncomfortable to be around me?"

"N-no! d-don't s-say such things Shizuru-san!"

"Natsuki-san told me that she would stay with me…is she breaking her promise?"

"Shizuru-san…I would never do such a thing as breaking a promise to you! So…um…eh…shall we…s-sleep?" I hope that I didn't sounded as a pervert…

"Only if Natsuki-san wishes to sleep then yes…"

"O-of course! W-what else should I be w-wishing to-…um L-lets sleep…"

"Ara…"

Outside the headquarters…

"Damn it…that was close! Pooch appeared faster than I thought!"

"You are right Nao-san…teleporting so fast has tired me up so…see you tomorrow at training!"

"Huh? No way senpai! Could you at least teleport me to my room? I don't want to walk!"

"What? I didn't hear you Nao-san!"

"I said that if you could telep-"

-Poof-

"Argg! You bloody senpai! –Yawn- I guess that I would have to walk! Sucks to be me right now huh?" hehe but at least pooch should be having fun right now! She better be! Or tomorrow I am seriously going to kick her butt for missing two opportunities…

Shizuru's bedroom…

"Um…you are extremely happy to be scared Shizuru-san…"

"That is because Natsuki-san is here protecting me…"

"-Blushing- Shizuru-san! You should sleep now or tomorrow you are not going to wake up…" yeah right…she should sleep because if she keep this holding me tight stuff, I'm going to pass out…

"Natsuki-san that is not fair! She is only waiting the moment that I fall asleep, to leave me here all alone!"

"W-what? No! I am not going to leave you here alone Shizuru-san! You really scared me you know…I thought that something bad happened to you, if something bad had happened to you…I couldn't forgive myself! I…I guess that we are both scared right now, so…um…I'm not leaving you ok?"

"Ureshii…Natsuki-san is so sweet, now that she assured me that she is not going to leave, I can finally sleep…" Natsuki-san…is it true that you were so worried about me?

"Good night Shizuru-san" yeah right…sleep… I can't sleep anymore…

"Good night Natsuki-san…" I wish that I would be able to sleep…but with someone so close, I doubt it…

Bedroom headquarters

Time to pay a visit to my favorite cousin….I need to be smarter than her to convince her! However, I guess that she is not going to refuse it, after all this could turn out well for her too…

-Knocking-

"Marguerite-san! Do you have a minute?"

"Sugiura-sensei… Do you need something?"

"Well…actually Marguerite-san I have a favor to ask you…could we discuss this inside? It rather secret…"

"Please come in, Sugiura-sensei…"

"There is no need to keep pretending with those formalities…drop it, Tomoe …"

"Midori…that was rather harsh, you shouldn't speak in that way to your beloved cousin, were are your manners?"

"Oh manners!…I just forgot them under my bed. I seriously need your help; this is an important issue Tomoe, so quit joking ok?"

"Now, now Midori…if you keep talking to me like that I might refuse helping you"

"You are making this difficult…but I really need your help, you'll see…this empire depends on it…"

"The empire? Does that mean that it has something to do with Kruger-sama?"

"Yes it has…"

"Oh well…sorry to disappoint you Midori…but whatever that concerns this empire is really out of my interest…"

"Out of your interest? What about certain red haired playgirl? If she of your interest?"

"How utterly annoying you can turn out to be Midori…now why don't you just get to the point and enlighten me?"

"It's about Natsuki-chin's fiancée…"

"Oh? Are you talking about that princess? It is so obvious that she is not too close to Kruger-sama…and that both of them are faking. Was that the problem, Midori? It stills without interesting me…besides what happens between both of them is none of my concerns..."

"It seems that you are quite good at noticing the problems of the others, but you are actually unable to fix your own…shame on you Tomoe…"

"My patience is running thin Midori…why do you insist on bringing up what happened in the past? You are getting annoying…"

"If you could get her to trust you again? If you could fix what you had done in the past…does that offer seems to you quite interesting Tomoe?"

"Of course that everything that has to do with her is of my interest…why don't you tell me already what do you have in mind…but I still without understanding, how Kruger-sama and her fiancée are going to help me getting her back…"

"Natsuki-chin is in love with Shizuru-hime…but as you noticed Shizuru-hime doesn't think in the same way about her, you know the laws of this empire, if Shizuru-hime refuses publicly the marriage, she should be executed. But Natsuki-chin is desperately in love with her and she is not going to allow it…if she can't make Shizuru-hime change her opinion by the end of the month, she would allow her to escape and she would receive the punishment instead of her…"

"It seems that Kruger-sama is a foolish one…why she doesn't just order her to get married? After all, that princess should obey to everything our majesty says…"

"Aren't you listening Tomoe? Natsuki-chin is in love with her! Would you hurt your most important person, the person that you love?" I shouldn't have said that…I totally forgot…

"As a matter of fact I did…"

"I'm sorry Tomoe I shouldn't have said that…but I have the perfect plan to make Shizuru-hime confess her love to Natsuki-chin! I already realized that she likes her…but I think that she needs a little motivation to confess how she really feels…"

"I am still without getting the point; your plan doesn't mention anything about how getting my Nao back…"

"Calm down…what I have in mind is…jealousy"

"Jealousy? You are asking far too much Midori…"

"I actually asked Nao-chan…because she seemed quite capable to do it, after all she doesn't have a horde of fan girls for nothing, but she just refused…and forbid me to ask her fan girls to do it…"

"That's enough! I do not want to hear anything more that involves those stupid fan girls! I think that having to see the person that I love hugging and kissing them, is quite enough suffering…"

"But if we succeed in this plan, you wouldn't have to worry about that anymore…"

"Why do you say that?"

"Do you know why Nao-chan refused to do it?"

"No I don't…"

"Natsuki-chin is her best friend…and I guess that Nao-chan didn't want her best friend to experience that kind of fake 'love', just to get the attention of the one she loves. When I told her, she totally disagreed with it…I guess that it reminded her of you…"

"She never listened to my reasons…and you know that I wasn't lying! Midori! You know that it was our own family! It was not me…she still thinks that…that my feelings were a lie and that I used her..."

"That is why my plan is a winning-winning situation…not only Shizuru-hime would get jealous of you and confess, but also Nao-chan would get jealous. I bet that unlike you Nao-chan can't tolerate jealousy, so at some point she is not going to handle it anymore and she would end up confronting you Tomoe…and that would be your opportunity to tell her the truth…"

"I have to say Midori…that I never thought that you could be that clever… So I just have to turn Kruger-sama into my little decoy... Leave it to me…Shizuru-hime will be soon regretting not paying enough attention to her beloved Kruger-sama…and Nao will realize what she is been missing…"

"Thank you Tomoe…and about that decoy thing..."

"Yes…?"

"Please be careful! Don't hurt Natsuki-chin's feelings! You have to keep in mind that she is rather innocent and that we want Shizuru-hime and Natsuki-chin together! We only want her jealous! Not hating Natsuki-chin, so nothing too bold ok?"

"Midori…you are underestimating me…if this involves getting my love back, I assure you that I will succeed! I was waiting for an opportunity like this, and believe me I am not going to waste it…"

"I trust you Tomoe…and sorry for being too harsh before…"

"Don't worry… it runs into the family being this serious with each other. However, I have to say that I admire you Midori. Defying our family just to do whatever you wanted without even caring about been catalogued as a 'black sheep'…"

"Hahah I guess that I enjoy my freedom! I didn't want the responsibility of leading a prestigious family...as Natsuki-chin says "they are just a bunch of cowards sitting on a throne" and I guess she is right…"

"If I got her back…then I am going to defy our family too…after all they were the ones that took her away from me in the first place…"

"I am glad to hear that…after all you should have done it in the first place…"

"I know…but I am not going to make the same mistake again…" just wait a little longer Nao…even if I have to use your best friend to get you back…I doesn't really matter…I am sorry Kruger-sama…but you are now my decoy…

Shizuru's bedroom…

Ugh…huh? This pillow…it smells so nice…just like Shizuru …thanks to kami that Nao hasn't come to wake me up yet, because I don't want to…-sigh- yeah I don't want to…wait a second! Oh bloody hell! I have to go back to my room now! or that spider would think that I did something inappropriate with Shizuru! Huh? She is not here? Lucky me! Now I don't have to be embarrassed! Time to escape!

Royal bedrooms headquarters

I just hope that Nao don't find out where did I spend the night, or she might be thinking that I did something pervert to Shizuru…oh well I just have to go back to my room quickly and no one will find out…shit I think that it was too much to ask, she is already here…

"hohohoh….look who have just appeared! It is no one else than Natsuki-champ! Clad in her underwear with someone's bed sheets and a…sword? Oh well you don't have to give me the details of what you actually did with that sword pooch…but I gotta say that you are kind of weird you know…"

"-blushing- spider you idiot! What the hell are you doing in my bedroom you sucker?"

"Oh! Don't change the topic you bloody pooch! As usually, I came to wake you up! But you weren't here…I guess that you were rather busy in some other place…"

"Um…yeah it's kind of a long story…I…I saved Shizuru last night from a ghost…"

"Oh yeah! I bet that it is heheh...right a ghost! You seriously need to be more creative on your excuses pooch…they are lame!"

"Shut it! And why are you talking with such a perverted tone of voice huh?"

"Me? That's the way I talk pooch…so get ready for breakfast, and put some clothes on…I'm too young to get blind you know…"

"Y-YOU I-IDIOT!"

"You are so touchy today! I wonder why huh?... Anyways we got many things to discuss today pooch! So I'll be waiting for you downstairs…and don't take too long you sucker! Midori-sensei and Chie-san are waiting for you too!"

"Yeah…I'll be there on a minute…" at least she didn't say something perverted…I just hope that she keeps it on that way, I don't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone…and if Shizuru manage to listen to something like that, I would certainly die from embarrassment…

Dinning hall…

"Chie-san…the plan…my cousin agreed to do it…"

"Midori-sensei…your cousin? Oh no! That could turn out bad...we don't know what Nao-san is going to react to that…"

"Nao-san doesn't know that we are related…also I would ask you to keep this plan as a secret…the key to success for it is that Natsuki-chin and Nao-san are going to be clueless about it…"

"So you are going to tell her that your plan has been cancelled?"

"Yes it is for the best…for Nao-san and Natsuki-chin…"

"I just hope that Nao-san would not end up fighting with Natsuki-sama because of that…"

"Everything is going to be just fine…I trust my cousin and she assured me that she is not going to fail…"

"So we depend on Marguerite-san…I just hope that nothing turns out bad…or we would end with a more screwed up situation…does Nao-san knows that your plan has been "cancelled"?"

"yes…I already told her…and she would never suspect that I told Tomoe to do it…after all she has never seen us talking…so she would definitely think that my cousin is doing it on her own…"

"They are approaching…let's hear what our majesty did with our Tactic last night!"

"Hahah! I better not keep my hopes up! But that was a risky Tactic I have to say…"

"Hahah not as much as yours Midori-sensei…"

"I guess you are right…but if you don't risk you don't win right?"

"Our champion is here! Pooch I might become your fan after this!"

"My Kawaii Natsuki-chin! Good morning!"

"Natsuki-sama! How nice to see you!"

"Natsuki-sama I made you a special breakfast! I just hope that our majesty enjoys it… after all she really deserves it!"

"Huh?" What are they talking about? Isn't like too early to drink or something? Don't tell me that my Baka-sensei got all of them wasted…oh but Aoi-san was so kind to make me a huge breakfast full of mayo! I wonder what are we celebrating? My birthday is like…next week, so why everybody is acting so weird…

"Oh come on! Don't play dumb pooch! Tell us what happened last night!"

"Yes Natsuki-chin! Make your sensei proud!"

"Oh! Is that what all of you are talking about!" oh! That was it! They are talking about me rescuing Shizuru last night! Those idiots! Why are they so excited about that?

"Duh! Of course, you sucker! Now tell us!"

"Ok...first of all I…I just had to do it"

"Heheh I'm sure that all of us already know that pooch…"

"Huh? What is that supposed to mean?"

"Shut it pooch! So what happened next huh?"

"well…she was very scared you know and I have to admit that I was a little scared too…" yeah…I don't believe in ghosts and stuff but I thought that something bad happened to her…that really scared me…

"Oh that's normal Natsuki-chin! That you were both scared on that kind of situation! After all, it was the first time that it happened! I bet that you were both so nervous!"

"Yeah it was the first time…I didn't know that it was such a big deal, but I guess it was since she was trembling and so very scared, but I assured her that everything was ok and we…slept together… "

"-Smirking-Natsuki you dog! I knew that you were not a naïve sucker heheh! That's our pooch!"

"-Smiling- heh! Thank you guys, you are all so awesome! If I knew that, you were going to treat me like this just for talking and making company to Shizuru until she was not scared anymore of that ghost, I would have done this a long time ago!"

-Silence-

"Huh? Did I …did I say something wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"-sigh- I don't know why I believed that for a second…it's so obvious Natsuki-chin that you would never do such a thing...what are we going to do with you huh?"

"What I didn't do? I don't understand Sensei…"

"-Angry- pooch…what are you supposed to do if you happen to be in the same bedroom and in the same bed of a smoking hot goddess, that earlier that night tried to kiss you? Oh and to make the things better she even told you that she likes you…and if you had given her that kiss, perhaps she could have told you that she loves you… oh! But naïve sucker number one decided to totally waste the perfect opportunity…"

"-blushing- s-she tried to k-kiss m-me? No way! She didn't told me that she wanted to ki-"

"-Angry- Pooch you sucker! When someone wants to kiss you, specially a first kiss… they want it to be a special moment and they just do it! They don't ask like 'oh can I kiss you? If you don't feel like doing it right now we could kiss tomorrow you know…' EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!!!…"

"-smiling- oh bloody god! Shizuru! You wanted to kiss me! She really wanted to kiss me! Hahaha I am so lucky!"

"POOCH!…"

"N-nao! Why are you so pissed off? It was a little mistake! I know what to do next time!"

"Oh! Why I am so pissed off? I am soooooo going to tell you right now why pooch!

Because I can't bloody believe that you are the biggest naïve sucker that I have ever met! Oh and I got some AWESOME news pooch…Baka-sensei here doesn't have a plan anymore you know…so you are like…screwed right now…"

"What? Midori-sensei! You promised me to help me out! How come that you don't have a plan anymore?"

"Natsuki-chin don't look at me in that way…I am so sorry to disappoint you, but my plan is not going to work anymore…"

"You spoil the pooch too much Midori-sensei! I am going to tell you what she exactly meant…her plan is not going to work for a very simple reason…you suck! Your socially retarded brain can't even process the obvious!"

"Nao-chan please! Don't be too harsh with Natsuki-chin…"

"Yeah! Sensei is right! There is no need for you to get so pissed of spider…"

"Harsh my bloody ass! Listen to me very carefully pooch! I am so going to change that socially retarded brain of yours! I am going to destroy your bloody shyness! Over my dead body that you are going to let that goddess leave and be unhappy! You'll see pooch! By the end of the month, you are so going to get married!"

"Wow…why are you so determined on this spider?"

"-Whispering- Shut it! I'll tell you later when nobody is hearing us…I have my reasons!"

"You are such an idiot spider…as if Midori-sensei's presence was a big deal…"

"Natsuki-chin that was mean! Anyways what do you plan on doing with Natsuki-chin?"

"We made a mistake by doing all this tactics without preparing the pooch, Baka-sensei! so I am going to make her invulnerable to her biggest weakness!"

"My weakness? As far as I know spider I have kicked every single butt that has challenged me since I was born…I don't have a weakness…I think…"

"That was until Shizuru-hime appeared! I am warning you pooch, for you to gather at least enough courage to kiss her, I am going to show you a little "bolder" tactics, and you must do them! Because right now sucker, I am your only hope to win her heart, you got that?"

"Yeah I got it spider…but I don't like the sound of that…usually your "bold" equals "perverted". Now that you calmed down…can I eat my breakfast? Is going to get cold…"

"Breakfast? No way in hell! We got a lot of stuff to do! First things first! Let's start with my morning routine!"

"Your morning routine? I just hope that it doesn't involve anything pervert…"

"Nah! We are just going to check out Tomoe-san and later we are going to pay a little attention to my cool beauties…talking about cool beauties, I am going to introduce them to you! That would be your first step away of shyness!"

"-puppy eyes- Midori-sensei! Please don't let her take me with that bunch of perverted girls! I am too young to be corrupted!"

"-Sigh- Natsuki-chin! This is for your own good…"

"Chie-san?"

"I am sorry your majesty…but Nao-san is right! You have to stop being so shy!"

"In…what I just got myself into…Shizuru! The things that I do to win your heart…"

"Aw pooch! Don't get so gloomy! You are only going to see ok? So stop pouting you sissy! Because today we are going to have so much fun pooch! Just you wait!"
