Author's Notes: Hey everyone! sorry it took a little longer then i thought, but heres the next chapter. I do promise however that the next chapter after this one will be up later. I'm not sure when exactly but it will be up later today. So sorry for the late update but again like always enjoy this next chapter! :?D
(What the hell man? What was she thinking? Okay yeah I'm flexible, but not that flexible. Damn. I think I may have pulled something. She's unbelievable. But I guess I can't complain, now I know how Nao felt that night when I insisted on going at it continuously with her.) We laid there on the couch wrapped up in a blanket. Actually I even forgotten how we ended up there. I held my arm around Shizuru who was sleeping so peacefully and rested my other arm on my forehead, and just stared up at the ceiling.
(Sighs heavily) "Now what? What do I honestly do now? I mean I'm cheating on Nao and I'm lying to her and Shizuru both. (But look where I ended up anyway. What did I get myself into and how? No. This is my own fault. Everything that has happened till now was entirely my own doing. It was my idea to try and take whatever this girl had . . . well Nao's idea but I still went along with it. But because I went along with it I got in too deep, not only did I not pull off the plan . . . I fell in love with Shizuru. I think I fell more for her then when I first met Nao. Not only that Reito Kanzaki is in on this whole thing . . . and why and how did Nao get involved with him? I-is it because I let my stupid feelings get in the way of things? Did I let my feelings for her cloud my judgement on what I was suppose to do and not who I was supposed to be doing?) I groaned. And slapped my hand on my forehead.
"Look at that. Fine time to make a perverted joke. Just freaking terrific Natsuki. But seriously now what do I do? I'm still unsure about Shizuru's motives. I still feel like I can't trust her and it just keeps nagging at me. Damn this really bites." (Oh No! What am I doing? Just lying here like this. I need to get back to Nao. Not like it matters anyway, she probably already figured I'm with Shizuru . . . but it's what she thinks we may have done that frightens me more.) I slowly shifted my body closer to the edge of the couch as I pulled my arm from underneath Shizuru. I slid off of the couch and quickly grabbed up my clothes. As I was just pulling on my jeans, I heard Shizuru yawing. I froze in place holding my breath in careful not to wake her. She stretched and turned over to the other side facing away from me. I slowly let my breath out and sighed. (That was close. Now I just have to . . . wait a sec. This is stupid sneaking out. I never snuck out on anyone before and I'm not about to start now, besides that's what a coward would do . . . and I am not a coward.) I fished throwing on my clothes and walked back over to the couch. I knelt down and placed my hand on her shoulder and gently shook her.
"Hey, hey Shizuru. Wake up." She rolled over on her back and rubbed her eyes. She opened up her eyes and smiled at me sweetly. (I remember when I was looking at her that morning how . . . how happy she looked. It filled my heart with happiness to see her smile like that, knowing that I was the one who put that smile upon her face. But at the same time it hurt me knowing what I was about to say to her, I had no choice we couldn't stay there forever . . . no matter how much I wished for it that day.)
"Hey Natsuki. Is (yawn) something wrong?" Shizuru lifted herself up on the couch resting on her elbows. She was still half asleep, but by the way she was looking me up and down I could see she knew that I was the thing that was wrong here. I didn't know what I should say to her though.
"Well . . . you see I . . . have to go. I'm sorry Shizuru." She shifted herself up and sat up on the couch. She started stretching again. She plopped back against the couch and sighed, she then tilted her head and looked down at me.
"Natsuki. If you had to leave you should have just told me. You didn't have to sneak out." She giggled softly. I couldn't understand how she could be laughing at a time like this. It really bugged me. I didn't know if she was just playing with me or that this was her way of taking me seriously.
"Shizuru! Stop that. Please I wasn't trying to sneak out. I-I was . . ." I couldn't tell her that I wasn't sneaking out when that's what I was exactly doing. And I suck at lying to her. She sees right through me. Shizuru lead forward and softly put her hand on my right cheek. And I placed my hand over hers. She shook her head.
"Its fine. I understand why you have to leave. Its all right Natsuki, but I'm glad you woke me to tell me before you left."
"Shizuru . . ."
"Come here." She moved her hand from my cheek to my shoulder and placed her other hand on my other shoulder. She was tugging at my shirt, and started to pull on it trying to pull me up as well. I got up and knelt over her. I rested my hands on the couch, on either side of her and leaned in a kissed her . . . on the forehead. She began to laugh.
"I want a real kiss. Okay?" A smiled crept onto my mouth and I nodded.
"Sure thing." So I kissed her for real this time. She put her arms around me holding me tightly like she didn't want to let me go. But I couldn't stay any longer either. I pulled back breaking our kiss. I looked away from her.
"Sh-Shizuru I'm sorry. But I really think I should go."
"I know Natsuki. And stop apologizing to me about. I know why you have to go and it's nothing to be sorry for." (No? Then why do I feel like I'm using you. Why do I feel the need to say I'm sorry just so that you won't be sad?) (It's true. I was having all those feelings at that time . . . even still. But I still had that feeling that Shizuru was hiding something from me. And I was going to find out soon in the worst possible way.) Shizuru released her hold on me and let me go. I stood up and looked down at her. She still had that sweet innocent smile of hers that I love so much. But that wasn't what I was looking at. I had to literally force myself (and my eyes) to look away from her naked body. I felt that if I didn't look away now I wouldn't be able to control myself. I clenched my fist and my teeth.
"Natsuki is something wrong?" I just shook my head.
"I have to go now. But I'll see you again soon."
"Okay. I'll be waiting. See you later Natsuki." I walked up to the door and looked back at her just once before I opened the door and left. I walked over to my bike and put on my helmet and got on. I started up my bike and drove off soon after and headed down the narrow path of road leading to the main one. (What was I really doing? Did I just sleep with Shizuru . . . only to get back at Nao? Am' I that jealous of her relationship whatever it may be with Reito that I would just do something like this? No, that's not who I'am I know why I did it. Its because I am in love with her. I really am in love with Shizuru, but does she really feel the same way? But what happens now isn't up to me it's up to her.) I just drove and drove down the road to get home. I knew it would take me a long while to get back home but I didn't wanna stop. I felt as if I didn't hurry home now I wouldn't have a home to go too. (My heart was pounding so hard that day. And felt that it was tearing in two. Shizuru and I both were having an affair practically, and it killed me so much . . . but it didn't phase Shizuru in the least. But then again she never loved Kanzaki the way she loves me. Still I found it funny but maybe not. Since she was with the person she loved. It was hard on me because I was and still am in love with two people.)
Three and half hours . . .
"Great! I'm almost home . . . but I should hold off celebrating for right now. I don't think I'm in for a warm welcoming." I raced up the street and turned down the next block right to the building. I drove right into the parking lot and quickly shut off my bike, hopped off and ran to the elevator. I finally got up to the floor and reached into my pocket and pulled out my keys. I fumbled with them till I got the right key. I unlocked the door and let myself in. I slammed the door shut and walked into the livingroom, I took off my helmet and placed it down on the coffee table.
"Nao! Nao I'm home!" I started to head for the bedroom guessing she might still be sleeping. Just as I got to the door it opened. Nao poked her head out from behind the door and then quickly closed it.
"Hey. What's up with that? Is that how you say hello now or something?"
"I-I'm not dressed!" Nao yelled from behind the door. (Not dressed? Big deal.)
"So what. I've seen you not dressed plenty of times. Listen. I'm sorry I didn't come home last night. I . . .just got caught up . . . with something. (Yeah right. More like I got caught up in Shizuru.) I had to figure out something that needed to be taken care of. So I'm sorry I'm a little late but I'll make it up to you I promise." (Promise huh? My promises are nothing but empty.) I went to go and turn the doorknob to the bedroom door but it wouldn't turn. Nao had locked the door.
"Nao! Why's the door locked huh? Your really this angry with me?"
"N-no Kuga! Not at all. I told you I'm just dressing. J-just wait in the livingroom for me okay?"
"Fine. I'll wait." I had no choice what else was I gonna do? I walked back into the livingroom to wait for her. I sat down on the couch and tilted my head back and closed my eyes. Made me wonder though. Was Nao hiding something from me? Agh! Again with all the dumb questions! But I have my reasons for them, I just hope I find the answers. I crossed my arms and legs still waiting patiently for Nao. While I was waiting I began to feel hot. I uncrossed my arms and took off my hoody and tossed it on the couch. I sat back and crossed my arms again.
"Maybe Shizuru was right. I may just have a fever, even a little one." (Sighs) As I closed my eyes again I heard footsteps coming up from behind me. I opened my eyes to find an upside down Nao, who was wearing her pink teddy. (Oh wait, let me sit up.) I sat up and turned to face her. (That's better. A right side up Nao. What's with me? I think all the blood rushed to my head way too fast.) I got up from the couch and walked over to Nao who looked upset about something.
"Nao? You all right?"
"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Glad your home is all."
"Really? You don't seem like it. Is something troubling you? If its 'cause I didn't come home I already– –
"No. It's fine really. You here now that's what matters." Nao looked kind of surprised to see me almost shocked. She was acting weird, acting a little fidgety. I couldn't place my finger on it. Nao walked passed me and headed into the kitchen. I followed after.
"Not even going to ask where I was? Do you want to know where I was?" Nao didn't response at all. No head nodding no saying yes or no. I was even more determined to find out what Nao was up too. I walked up to her and placed my hand on her shoulder and spun her around to face me. I held her in place with both of my hands on her shoulders.
"What's wrong? Listen. I know I just like kind of walked out without telling you where I was going (or who I was going to be with) but that's no reason for you to be in a pissy mood for. What's up Nao? You can tell me, you know you can tell me anything." Just then Nao raised up her arms and shoved my hands off of her. She glared at me with cold eyes, so cold I could feel it throughout my entire body.
"Really Kuga? Can I really tell you anything? I've been wondering that for a while now. Instead of going forward I feel like were going back."
"W-what do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You spend all your time with that girl . . . you were probably with her last night. Weren't you?" Did she know? Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. But I know if I don't come up with an answer now she'll . . . hate me even worst then she does.
"Y-yes. I was with her. But I only went to her because she was the only one I could talk to about . . ." Nao continued to glare at me and crossed her arms.
"About?"
"About you and me? I-I told her we got into a fight so I needed some advice." (Yeah good one Natsuki. Like she'll really believe that. I hardly believe it myself . . . and I'm the one saying it.)
"So she knows about me? As your girlfriend?" I shook my head.
"N-no, not you. Actually I never gave a name. She just knows that I'm with someone that's all." Nao closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"I see. So . . . Kuga. Was your sleep over fun?" I was taken a back by what she just said. I was frozen in place I was just so stunned. It made my mind race, thinking did she know and how could she have known? Is it possible she knew what me and Shizuru really did last night? No, I had to stay calm about this.
"What? Come on Nao. We're not in high school or anything. It wasn't a big deal. I just slept on the couch." (Shit! How can I just blurt that out?! Damn now she's gonna know for sure.)
"Whatever. Your being . . ." Nao opened her eyes. They winded slightly, and I followed her gaze right to my arm where Shizuru had left scratch marks. Nao pointed to my arm with her finger.
"Natsuki, what the hell is that? Are those scratch marks?"
"Uh, yeah. Yes they are." Nao leaned in to get a better look. She glided her finger up and down the marks as she inspected them.
"So how did you get them?" (Good question. Now I have to come up with a plausible answer.)
"A cat. A cat scratched me there last night. I think the dumb cat did that on purpose sensing that I had more love for dogs. It just attacked me no big deal it didn't even hurt." Nao moved back and crossed her arms again.
"I wasn't aware that they had a cat."
"Neither was I! Just kind of snuck up on me. Hehehe." (Oh man why did I just laugh? I'm such a loser! Now for sure she'll know I'm lying. I wish I could just tell her, but I know if I do it'll end badly for both me and Shizuru.) (Thinking back now maybe, I should have just told her. At least then it would have soften up the blow that I dealt to her later.)
"Oh I'm stupid. I'll be right back I'm going to grab a shirt." As I started to walk away Nao grabbed my arm pulling me back. Very forcefully too. She damn near took off my arm.
"Nao! What the hell!" Nao put her arms around my waist squeezing her body up against mine. She gazed into my eyes with her own lustfully. I shook my head and pushed her back a little.
"What's wrong Kuga? Come on I was lonely you know."
"I'm not in the mood right now."
"Come on your already half naked. Why not go all the way." Nao slid her hands down to my hips and then around to the front of my jeans. She began to unbuckle my belt and then she went to unzip my zipper but I stopped her. I grabbed onto her wrists.
"Nao I said no. I'm sorry I just don't feel like it." I pushed Nao back and walked back into the direction of the bedroom so that I could go put on a shirt. As I was walking, I heard Nao call out to me but I didn't bother looking back, I looked up as I was nearing the bedroom door. But I stopped so suddenly that I nearly pulled my leg muscle.
"Hey Natsuki. Well if I knew we would be having a threesome I would have kept my pants off. You have a nice body there by the way Kuga." Reito was leaning up against the door frame to the bedroom with only his pants on. I felt at that point I would be lost in my own rage. Something inside me was just burning to get out and kill this guy. But I had to control my temper, somehow I managed but only to a point.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Reito smiled.
"Why not ask your girlfriend? She could tell you everything we did. Kuga, you missed out." Just before I was about to bash his brains in Nao came running up behind me and took hold of my hand.
"Natsuki! Please just listen to me! It's not wha– – I pulled my hand away from her, I looked over my shoulder. I couldn't look het in the eyes directly.
"It's not what I think? It's not what I think?! What the hell am I supposed to think?! This guy is standing here by the bedroom door with only his pants on! And your seriously going to tell me it's not what I think!" Reito pushed himself off from the doorframe and walked over to me still with that smile on his face.
"Now, now calm down Kuga. It really wasn't any big deal. She's was quitegood considering she's been with you all this time. She was a bit rusty from the start but I loosened her – – Ugh! I couldn't take it anymore. I lunged forward and grabbed onto his scruffy neck knocking him to the floor.
"Natsuki! Natsuki stop! Stop It!" I started to choke him. I tighten my grip with each passing second, and I couldn't be happier by the sight of him struggling and gasping for air. I was so sure I was going to kill him then and there, but I let him go. Maybe it was because Nao was yelling for me to stop or maybe I realized it wasn't worth it. I released my death grip from his neck. I stood up and looked down and noticed his neck was red, probably because of how tight my grip was on him. He was coughing and gasping for air. I was so full of rage, hate, and anger that I was afraid of what I would do next.But it was what I saw next that pained me the most. Nao ran over to Reito's side.
"Reito! Reito! Please be all right!" Nao held him in her arms.
"I'll . . . (gasp) be . . . (gasp) . . . fine." Kanzaki was still trying to catch his breath. It made sense now, she was trying to keep me away from the bedroom because he was here. Nao was probably trying to create a distraction while he'd slip out unnoticed. I was so disgusted I turned back and walked into the livingroom grabbed up my hoody and put it back on, I walked out the door slamming it shut behind me. I walked up to the elevator and banged my head up against the doors.
(How could she do this?! I know, what I did was wrong too! But Reito Kanzaki its . . . just too much too bare! It's unspeakable! How can she sleep with that guy?!) I banged my fists on the elevator doors as well. I banged my fists so hard on the doors that I made a dent into the steel doors.
"I know I shouldn't have slept with her. But did you really have to sleep with that slime ball? Why? Why Nao?"
Meanwhile back in the apartment . . .
"Reito you going to be all right?"
"I'll (coughs) be fine. (Coughs, coughs) I'm fine." Nao helped Reito stand up.
"See didn't I tell you. This is exactly how she would react. But I wonder what would have happened if it was the other way around." Nao looked at Reito confusingly.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. Forget I said anything. So now what?"
"What do you mean now what? This was your idea. I don't even know why I went along with it in the first place." Reito turned to Nao.
"Listen you wanted to know didn't you? You found out where she was or rather who she was with last night. Not only that you saw first hand for yourself what kind of person she really is. She's dangerous . . .which is actually a good thing." Reito smiled wickedly but Nao was frowning.
"I'm not so sure. She would have had the same reaction if she saw you with that girl." Reito sighed.
"Maybe . . . but then again maybe not. But by just her witnessing this, the two of us together set her off. It makes it all the more easier for us. Her pent up rage is key, now just imagine how furious she'll really get later on tonight."
"I don't know Reito. Maybe we should stop." Reito suddenly grabbed Nao by her shoulders.
"No! We've come to far now! It cannot be stopped. We have to go on as planned. Listen you want Natsuki back don't you? And to do so you need Shizuru out of the way right?" Nao nodded.
"Right so just put up with this for now. I promise we'll both have what we desire in the end."
Author's Notes 2: Just wanted to let you guys know (well maybe some more then others) that in the story here its mentioned Nao is wearing a "Pink Teddy". For those who don't know a "Teddy" is a form of Lingerie that comes in a variety of different colors. In fact they kind of look like mini gowns . . .that are see-through. XD
