Chapter 3! Enjoy and don't forget to R & R! Thanks!

Still wondering, should I add omakes?

Oh, before I forget… Someone asked me something in the reviews and I'm going to answer back.

Guest: Um...im confused why are there two nina's and alyssa's of different ages?

Answer: Simple. 13-year-old Nina and 5-year-old Alyssa are from Mai-Otome.

A certain brunette was walking through the park with her mind full of a certain blunette. Of course, this meant she wasn't looking where she was going. When she finally looked up, she looked around in surprise. Ara, when did I reach the road? She immediately spotted a convenience store across the road. Ara, maybe I can buy a packet of green tea there. Hmm… There isn't many people here even though it's a Saturday. She thought as she waited to cross the road.

"Sir, she is going to cross the road. Can I feign an accident?"

"Sure! Anything that can kill her!"

"Understood."

As Shizuru was crossing the road, a car suddenly sped towards her. Everything seemed to slow down. People were screaming at her with 'watch out' and 'get out of the way' but her legs refused to co-operate with her mind. Help me! Natsuki! Was the last thing she thought before closing her eyes tightly.

Natsuki jumped onto the road and ran towards the girl in the middle of the road before anyone could say anything. All Natsuki could see was the scared girl on the road about to be hit by a car.

"Suki!" Natsuki called out.

"Suki-nee-chan!" both Ninas and Alyssas called out.

Natsuki quickly picked up the girl in bridal style, jumped high into the air, did a summersault in the air, and landed right where the ice-cream truck was. Natsuki and her sisters immediately dashed over. Natsuki tried to put the scared girl down but she was so scared that she refused to let go of her neck and continued wrapping it tightly around the blunette's neck with her eyes shut tight.

"Shh… Shh… it's ok now. You're safe." Natsuki comforted the girl. The brunette slowly opened her eyes and looked up. This action ended up with two pairs of wide eyes.

"Shizuru?"

"Natsuki?"

Natsuki quickly let Shizuru down but Shizuru felt her knees go weak and almost fell if not for Natsuki's quick reflexes as she caught Shizuru in her arms again.

"Are you ok?" Natsuki asked while Shizuru nodded.

"I think so. I suppose I was just too shaken up by what happened. Ookini, Natsuki, for saving me."

"It's fine. Let's go home, ok?"

"NO!" Alys (I decided that Aly sounds more like a boy's name so I decided to change it to Alys.), Lyssa, Ni and Na shouted and pouted.

"You promised us an ice-cream!" they said.

"Fine, fine, let's go get that ice-cream then we go home,'kay?" They agreed and walked over to the ice-cream truck. People, of course, couldn't help but stare at the blunette carrying the brunette.

Both Alyssas and Ninas immediately chose the flavor of the ice-cream they wanted.

"You want one, Shizuru?" Natsuki asked to brunette in her arms.

"I like ice-creams, you know." Natsu said, licking her newly bought mint-flavored ice-cream with chocolate chips. Shizuru nodded.

"What flavor do you want, Shizuru? I'll get Natsu to buy it for you." Suki asked Shizuru.

"I want the yam flavor." The brunette answered. Suki nodded.

"Buy one yam flavored and one mint chocolate chip ice-cream, please, Natsu." Natsu nodded and after buying the ice-cream, they headed to Natsuki's home.

"You idiot! I told you to kill her at all cost, didn't I! and I said no failures! Yet you just had to go and fail!" Shiroku screamed at the terrified man.

"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Fujino. I-I won't f-fail next time! Forgive me!" the man pleaded. Shiroku gave him a cold glare.

"Bring him to the torment room and torture him…to death." Shiroku said with a cold voice while another man dragged the terrified man away.

"I expect no failures from you." He said to the man who was dragging the first man away.

"Yes."

"Natsuki, I missed you. Why do you have to leave me? What do you mean by curse?" Shizuru asked Suki who was sitting next to her.

"I'm sorry, Shizuru, for causing you grief but I can't tell you our curse." Shizuru just nodded silently.

"Natsuki, why can't you trust me with your secret?"

"I…"

"It's because she's afraid that you will hate her if you found out." A voice said. They turned to see Natsu standing at the door.

"Natsu! That's not-!" Suki tried to deny it.

"It's true and you know it, Suki-nee." Ni said.

"Yeah, don't deny it." Na added.

"We all heard you say it." Alys said.

"It came from your very own mouth." Lyssa ended.

"Is this true, Natsuki? Natsuki?" Shizuru asked Natsuki, who looked down.

"Yeah… It's true. I'm afraid that you will hate me after knowing about my curse. I'm afraid you'll leave me!" Natsuki looked up with tears in her eyes that were threatening to spill.

"Don't ever leave me, Shizuru! Don't! Don't leave me alone! I don't want to be alone!" Natsuki cried into Shizuru's shoulder.

"Aren't you silly, Natsuki. How can I leave you? Without you, life would be meaningless. Besides, you still have your sisters." Shizuru smiled.

"But you'll leave me if you know about my curse. You'll definitely leave me. Then, I'll be alone. All alone. Again." Natsuki muttered.

"No, you won't. You'll never be alone. I love you, Natsuki. This feelings of mine will not waver. So you can tell me your secret. I won't force it out of you. You can tell me when you're ready." Shizuru said, rubbing her head, trying to comfort her. Natsu, Ni, Na, Alys and Lyssa enveloped Suki in a group hug.

"You'll never be alone, Suki. Never." Natsu said.

"And we'll be here to make sure of that." Ni, Na, Alys and Lyssa said.

"Thank you." Suki mumbled, falling asleep.

"Ara, it seems like Natsuki is dosing off. Let's leave the room to let her rest, shall we?" Shizuru said, smiling while the others agreed. Just as she was about to leave the room, Shizuru could have sworn that she heard Suki mumble 'Love you, 'Zuru'. She smiled and said, "Love you too, my 'Suki." Before leaving the room.

Done! Sorry for the long update and don't worry I'm not dead. The reason I took so long to update was simply because I ran out of ideas, that's all, which was why I was trying to get my mind of my stories 'cause that's the most effective way for an idea to pop into my mind. Sorry.
