Author's Notes: YEAH!! Next Chapter! (I'm the writer and I'm so excited myself.) Anyway's enjoy and just to be fair there's NatNao for the NatNao fans and a little ShizNat for the ShizNat fans. Just giving you the heads up it's getting intresting.

I laid in the bed staring up at the ceiling, replaying over what happened in my mind last night. I still can't get over the fact that whole time I-I was thinking about her . . . instead of focusing on Nao. I fell like I betrayed her in some strange way. I turned over to face Nao but looking at her made my heart ache. I put my arm around her waist pulling her closer to me, I just didn't want to let her go because I felt if I did, I would lose her right then and there. She slowly opened her eyes and awoke with a smile on her face, then leaned in giving me a kiss.

"Good morning. Did you sleep at all?" She softly asked me

"No, I couldn't really." I said as I turned my head looking away from her.

"Well I'm not surprised after last night. That was really amazing."

"It just felt like it was a while since we last did it." Nao placed her hand on the side of my face cupping my cheek making me turn to her. I could see in her eyes that she could tell there was something bothering me.

"Hey you know what we haven't done in a while?"

"What?"

"We haven't gone out." I was a little confused by what she said. I didn't get where she was going with that. So I asked.

"What do you mean exactly Nao?" She smiled at me and bluntly said

"That you and I haven't been out in a very long time. We're always home most of the time, lets go out today and do something fun." I was taken aback by that, very surprised really. Nao wanted to do something . . . fun? I didn't question it I just decide to go along with the idea. I got up and took a shower and so did Nao. (Along with me) After we got out of the shower we both got dressed. Nao was wearing her tight white jeans with a striped blue and white T-shirt and white sneakers. I had put on my black T-shirt a dark blue pair of jeans and put on a pair of black and blue sneakers to match. So after we got dressed we headed out.

Wherever Nao had planned for us to go that day was within walking distance, and didn't take long to get to wherever it was we were going to . . . which was to the movies. She said there was this new horror movie out, and really wanted to see it but didn't want to go by herself which was a lie (She just wanted to get me out of the house) because she loves horror movies, she'd watch em' 24/7 if she could . . . well she could actually come to think of it she just chooses not too. When we got there, I paid for the tickets and asked her if she wanted anything from the concession stand, she said no she only wanted to hurry and get a good seat.

Nao pulled me by my arm all the way up to the back row saying that we could get a better view of the screen if we sat all the way back here.

The movie had started not too long after but we kinda weren't paying attention seeing as how we kept making out. Kind of wired though to be making out while (trying) to watch a horror movie. I just think maybe it was a turn on for her in a strange way. After the movie was over Nao, suggested we get something to this place called Linden Baum. She said she knew of this little eatery place a few blocks from the movie theater. When we got there, we decided to sit at a table outside of the place seeing as how it was such a nice day, not too hot but not too windy either perfect weather to sit outside really. The waiter came over rather quickly and asked if we wanted anything to eat or drink. I wasn't hungry and neither was Nao so she just got a Strawberry Milkshake while I just got a cup of Coffee. He said he would bring them right out but not before telling us don't hesitate to ask if there was anything else we wanted, and then he winked at Nao as he walked away. I didn't see any reason for me to go and get mad or overjealous of some stupid jag off. He came back with our drinks after a while and asked again if we needed anything else. We both said no and he walked away (finally) giving Nao and I some privacy.

"So what did you think of the movie?" Nao asked before slurping up some of her milkshake. I smiled. (She's so cute.)

"Well you tell me . . . I was too busy to even know what was going on." Nao laughed knowing exactly what I was talking about.

"Same here. We could always go back another time and try to actually watch it." I nodded my head in agreement. I took a sip of my coffee before asking Nao what made her want to come out today. She said the same thing again just to get out and have some fun, but I didn't believe she was telling the whole truth. (I figured out that she would tell me later if not now.) She pushed out her seat and got up telling me she would be back, that she had to go to the bathroom. I told her to go ahead. I'm not going anywhere. (That felt like a lie then when I told her that.)

Although I was having fun just hanging out with her I felt . . . like something was missing and I couldn't put my finger on it. I moved my hand and accidently knocked off the fork that was on the place setting onto the ground. I bent down to pick it up. As I bent down, I heard someone call out my name.

"Natsuki . . . ?" The sound of someone saying my name startled me and I ended up hitting my head against the edge of the table. It kind of hurt but I got up (rubbing my head) and looked to see who it was.

"Natsuki it is you! I thought so, but . . . are you okay?" To my surprise it was none other than Shizuru. I wondered what she would be doing at a place like this. (Was it just a coincidence or was it something else, that was leading us to meet here like this?)

"Oh hey Shizuru! Yeah I'm fine just a little bump." She moved closer to me and placed her hand on my head right where I had been rubbing it. She gently places her hand on my head lightly rubbing the spot. My heart started to race again and I found it hard to breath.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked with such concern in her voice. I stepped back though.

"Y-yeah. I-I'll be fine. But Shizuru? What are you doing here?"

"Well I'll be meeting my father here. He's just getting back from another business trip and told me to meet him here. I guess it's because this is the closest place from the airport to get too." She smiled while she was telling me this, she must've been so glad to get a chance to see her dad.

"Well that's good. I happy for you."

"Natsuki?"

"Yes Shizuru?"

"Would you, would you meet my father when he gets here?"

"Wh-what?"

"Please it would mean a lot, he just told me last night when he called that he wanted to meet the person who saved me as well." I was just so shocked I didn't even know what to say or do. Should I say yes? Should I decline? I had no idea.

(Flashback Last night Shizuru's house)

"Miss your father's on the phone."

"Okay thank you, Fumi." Shizuru picked up the phone in her room.

"Hello."

"Hey honey. How are you?"

"I'm fine dad."

"That's great. I called to tell you that I'll be coming back in tomorrow and wanted to spend some time with you before I had to leave again."

"Sure, I would like that very much. Where would you like me to meet you?"

"Well there's this little place a café, it's near the airport it's called Linden Baum." Shizuru smiled to herself she couldn't wait to see her father.

"Sure, I'll see you there."

"Oh, and one more thing Shizuru."

"Yes father?"

"That young woman . . . I would like to meet her thank her myself for saving you."

"Well when I see her I'll let her know."

"That'll be fine dear, well I have to go now so I'll see you tomorrow."

"All right, bye daddy."

"Good bye sweetheart."

(End of flashback to Last night at Shizuru's house)

I still didn't know what to do or say at that point to be honest . . . I was freaking out. To meet her father would be a very big deal. Just then Nao had come back. She locked her eyes onto Shizuru right away, then turned and glared at me. (Uh-oh this wasn't going to be good. Why me? Why do these things have to happen to me?)
