Hello everybody! Here is next chapter which I hope you were waiting ; ) Well this chapter isn't as interesting as last one, but not boring as well! I have some problems with future chapter now so you can give me some ideas ;)

kiangs Yeh I like cliffhangers :p they make me feel more comfortable, because I know that readers will be waiting for next chapter And about your last question... just wait and you will see ;)

glowie glad that you liked the way where I'm going :) And idea with wolf I think was perfect too,after all Natsuki likes wolfs :)

SpiderLilies2007 Yeh I like that side of Nao too XD She always knows what to say XD Yes, my stories are too different from each other XD

Demel aka Suqador if to be true I hate rescue moments like this(I mean your example) Why do we girls always have to be in danger and than fell in love with our rescuer T.T It's stupid :/ Yeh I don't want to rush things that is why I sometimes have problems with ideas for next chapters / Glad that it was worth your wait :)

jordan.D If you don't remember epilogue, there was told that Natsuki wished that all memories about her were deleted from her friends memory. What means no one knows that Natsuki has ever existed :/ That also means God had to change some of their memories and that is why Shizuru is with Reito now. Hope you understand.

firecaster-hikaru Can't answer you at this question, because I'm not sure about what kind of ending there will be :)

Thank you everybody for reviews And big thanks for my beta AnomolyIdiotic!!!

P.S.For people who wait next chapter for my second fic.My beta was busy but it promised to finish it this week So wait for update ;)

Chapter 7

Superstitions

"Thank you for saving and protecting me… my dear Angel…"

Her first words made me confused, but these ones! 'What the hell?! She is talkingtome!'

"Someone will think I'm crazy, because it seems that I'm talking with myself but I know that you are here. I know it sounds strange, but I can't explain it in another way. The moment in the river, when someone led me, held me… oh and of course strange wolf who disappeared like fog"

'Damn! She saw me back then! Natsuki, baka!'

"You know, I'm very grateful that you helped me and didn't leave me to die. And thank you for holding me during the night" she smiled.

Remembering that moment I blushed, after all it was the first time when I could hold her after my death.

"Ara, it is becoming warm here" she giggled "Now I know why it was always hot in my house, especially when I was taking a shower"

Pictures of naked Shizuru reading books and having showers quickly ran through my mind and steam began to break out from my ears.

"Ara, it seems that I'm right" she giggled even more "Did you enjoy the view?" she asked in teasing manner what made a heat in my body to rise.

'Damn you woman! You make me blush even when you don't see me or hear me and even when… you don't know me' the last part of my thoughts made me sad. Yes, Shizuru had figured out about me as angel, but she still didn't remember me 'And it is good that she doesn't remember. I don't want to see her breaking down 'alonely smile crossed my lips.

"I wonder where you are standing right now?" her question returned me back from my thoughts.

'I also would like you to know where I'm standing' I sighed and than looked at the curtains 'Well I can try at least' I tried to move them but nothing happened and another sigh came out from my mouth 'I wonder how does it work?'

"Maybe my Angel could say something? I really want to hear your beautiful voice again" another blush found its way on my face "Or MY Angel doesn't want to talk with me? Am I really so annoying? How sad…" she closed her face with hands and began to sob.

"What?! No! You are not annoying Shizuru and I really want to talk with you!" but she didn't hear me 'And what did I expect?'

I wanted to stop her sobs to comfort her, but I didn't know what to do when suddenly she lowered her hands and raised her head.

"Maybe you can't talk to me? Maybe you can do it only when I'm in danger?"

'Clever girl, Shizuru! No wonder I chose you!' I smiled looking at my smart goddess.

"Then I have to get in trouble more often" the smile was plastered all over her face.

'What?! Don't even think about it! I think I will die once more if I will see you in pain ever again!'

"It was nice to talk to you, hope next time you will be able to answer me in some way" she winked "Now I need some rest, goodnight my angel" she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

"Goodnight to you too, Shizuru" I looked through the window "Although it will be morning soon" I smiled and was trying to get some rest too when…

"Hello Natsuki, how is Shizuru?"

"Oi! Stop scaring me like that!"

"Gome, but I can't do it in another way"

"Ok forget it"

"So, how is Shizuru?"

"Fine, just fell asleep"

"I see and I also heard that she was trying to talk with you" my body froze "Don't try to answer her, Natsuki. I don't think that result will be very pleasant"

"I-I'll try" I answered uncertainly.

"Good" and He left.

I stood once more analyzing information which was given me 'I still don't understand why it is dangerous? I understandhumanbodyguards…If they will be to close he or she won't be able to think logically and protect, but me… I'manangel, what kind of trouble can happen that I can't handle? Damn! I have toomanyquestions! BesidesShizuru knows about me now. Well not exactly about me as Natsuki and what is good, I don't want to see her in pain… But I want to talk to her once more… I think I need Jacks advice again, although I'm sure he will say the same thing. But I can try at least!' taking deep breath I called my friends name. Bright light which only my eyes could see appeared in the room and in the next moment my blonde friend stood in front of me.

"You called me?" he asked calmly.

"Yeh, I would like to talk with you once more"

"Come."

The next thing I saw was big door with ornaments, behind which room for secrets was. The door opened and bright light fell upon our faces. I closed my eyes with hand but from corner looked at my companion who didn't even try to cover his face or shut his eyes. On the contrary, he just kept looking straight and than entered the room. Still protecting my eyes with hands I followed him and as soon as I entered light disappeared. (on the contrary is the saying.)

"What the hell was that?" I demanded lowering hands.

"It seems that a lot of angels is inside right now" he smiled looking at me.

"How could you look at directly at the light?"

"I have gotten used to it, after all I teleport with the help of light"

"I see…"

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"Did you hear about what happened with Shizuru?"

"Sure, besides… she sometimes appeared on my list…" he looked away.

"What?! Do you want to say that she was in such major danger?!" I asked grabbing on his shirt and forcing to face me. Jack was one of the angels who showed human souls their new home, the angel who lead them.

"Yeh, but don't worry. Her name quickly disappeared, so she wasn't in such big danger. Besides some names always appears on my list when someone is in danger. It is just like a warning, to be prepared"

"If you will take her, I will cut your wings with my own hands!"

"It's not me who takes human life, it's Death. I'm just a guide" my hands relaxed letting him go "So why did you want to see me after all?"

"Well as you already know Shizuru was in trouble and I saved her, but that's not the point! The main thing is that she heard me!"

"I told you that we angels can communicate with people when they are in danger, of course if they are worth to be saved"

"Yeh, I remember that but she also felt my presence and now she knows about my existence. She was trying to talk to me before."

At this his eyes grew wider "She knows about your presence now?" I nodded "And she remembers you?"

"No, she doesn't remember me, but she knows that she has angel by her side"

He let the air out which he was holding "That's good, I don't think you would like to see her in pain but the thing that she is trying to talk with you is bad. Don't try to answer her"

"Again…"

"Pardon?"

"Last time you also said that I can't communicate with her… But I still don't get why?"

"She can get to close to you and shut herself from others… and if her memories will come back?"

"Is it possible?"

"I'm not sure, but I think yes. After all some things seems familiar to her, although her new memories don't have to know or remember them. Natsuki, please be careful or yours and hers world will be ruined"

"But what do I have to do now? I'm sure she will try to talk with me again"

"Ignore her, you can't make contact with her"

"I'll try, but…"

"It's for yours and hers sake"

"I understand" I lowered my head and sadness ran through my body.

"I have to go now…"

"Then I won't take your time any longer" I tried to smile, but failed.

In the next moment I found myself by Shizuru's bed. I was right; conversation with Jack didn't help me. It made me feel even worse. My lonely gaze travelled on Shizuru's body appreciating her beauty. Weak smile crossed my face and I bet that tear would run out of my eye if it was possible. For another time I felt lonely. I really wanted to talk with her, to touch her, to make her know who I am 'I can't… I don't want her to remember and feel that pain. Pain of lose… I know what kind of pain it is… I know how much it hurts… I want to talk with you, but I don't want you to face the same pain with which I was fighting till the end of carnival and from which you saved mel… No, I won't allow you to know it' I slowly bent down and put light, ghost kiss on her forehead. Happy smile appeared on her sleepy face which made me want to do it again but 'Forgive me, but it was the last contact which I made with you. I can't put you under risk; I don't want you to remember…'

PVC Shizuru

The feeling of knowing that you have a guardian angel is very pleasant I have to say. Yes, I knew that everybody has got their angel but I always thought it as a fairytale. But now when I felt and heard it, I believe and I really want to talk with my angel now. I don't think that everybody can say 'I can talk with my angel'. Well my communication with it last time couldn't be called talking, because only I was opening my mouth 'Maybe it isn't allowed to talk with me? I don't care! I will make it to talk to me in this or other way!' were my thoughts when I woke up in the morning, but the first thing which I saw wasn't my angel. It was Reito who was sitting by my bed and I can't say that this view was bad. I love Reito very much, but sometimes I feel it is wrong, that we don't have to be together… Sometimes I feel that I am meant to be with someone else, but I don't know with whom and why I have this feeling. But I don't care; Reito is too nice and protective… I can't lose him.

"Hello honey, did you have nice dreams?" he asked smiling.

"Yes, I did" I smiled in reply "and you?"

"I couldn't sleep knowing that you are in pain" he answered caressing my check.

"You are too sweet, besides I feel better"

"But I still had to be faster and able to catch you"

"It's over, lets forget about the incident" 'Although I don't think I will be able to. After all thanks to this incident I know about my angel'

"Ok"

Silence fell between us, but it was peaceful and comfortable. We sat there for some time enjoying each other company when Reito spoke again.

"I was talking with doctor and he told that you should stay here for a few days"

"Ara? More days? But I'm fine. I don't have to stay here any longer" I protested wanting to go back home.

"I know how strong you are, but if doctor says so…"

"Alright, I will stay"

Smiling he leaned forward and caught my lips with his. The kiss was slow and gentle. I began to lose myself into the kiss when…

"Hello there Fujinio-san!" Midori entered the room with other former HiME behind her.

"Ara, Midori-san! It's nice to see you, please everybody come in"

And it is how my three days in hospital went. Every morning I was greeted by Reitos big smile and sweet kiss and all my friends came to visit me during the day. Unfortunately for me, my fan club also found out about accident and now everyday I was surrounded by them who were talking without stopping. Thankfully Reito brought ear plugs and I couldn't hear a thing. I just sat there smiling and nodding in agreement. During night, when I was alone I tried to communicate with my angel who still didn't response in any way. I tried all my best, even puppy eyes didn't work. Only my teasing made temperature in room to get higher which was a good sign that my angel was still around.

Finally I was let go and Reito drove me back home, but of course first of all we went to Mai's karaoke party to celebrate my recovery. Thankfully I didn't have to sing. When I was home, Reito stayed with me for some time to make sure that I was fine. My maids promised to take good care on me what made him feel better, but he still didn't want to leave. I was glad that he cared so much, but I needed to take shower and have good rest, after all karaoke party wore me out. Understanding, he kissed me as goodnight kiss and left. I went to my room with maids behind me.

"I'm fine, you don't have to follow me" I smiled.

"Are you sure miss?" asked one of them.

"Ara, and if I'm not you will follow with me into the bathroom too?" 'Bad Shizuru, but teasing is so much fun'

Blushing, second made answered "If it is needed… yes"

"I'm fine don't worry"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course"

They tried to protest more, but I protested back and finally they gave up. Smiling I made my way to the room to take a towel. In bathroom I began to undress and for another time temperature rose, what made me giggle.

"Ara, so I was right. My angel really is following me everywhere" this comment made temperature to rise even more. Giggling, I entered the shower "I don't mind my angel seeing me naked" this time it was really hot and I had to take cold shower.

Smiling I began to wash myself when my thoughts started to drift in other way 'I wonder what gender my angel has? I think it's female, men don't blush so often. Interesting how does she look? I'm sure she is pretty…I'm so curious to see her white and beautiful wings. I hope I will be able to communicate with her again. Maybe I really should get myself in some kind of trouble? No, I don't think it will be fair towards her. She was very protective and kind last time. I can't make her worry again' turning water off, I wrapped myself in a towel and left the shower cubical, my mouth dropped open as I stared at…
