The night of the sleep-over, Natsuki packed all her stuff in Shizuru's bag, seeing as she only had a tooth brush and pajamas.
Obviously, Mai and her gossip friends were elighted to hear of the kaichou's acceptance. Natsuki on the other hand, was almost dreading the thought. She'd have to put up with the tea-drinker's teasing all night on top of the idiocy of whoever else Mai was inviting. Indeed it was going to be a long night…
Due to Shizuru's insitance on picking out the absolute perfect pajama's to bring they were the last to arrive. At one point, Natsuki just told her to pick any damn one and that it didn't matter. But Shizuru went on to explain the importance of her choice as she didn't want to look slutty nor did she want to look too covered up. Apparently, the girl had a large number of pajamas and most of them were, for lack of better term, too sexy. God only knows why she owned so many of them…
As they approached Mai's dorm room, Natsuki stopped her hand before it could knock. "Shizuru, if you want, we could back out now, there's still time." She said. In truth, the blunette really didn't want to attend this idiotic event.
Shizuru turned around with a slight pout playing on her face, "Does Natsuki not want to attend?" She asked apparently catching Natsuki's disinterest in the event.
The way the girl was looking at her, Natsuki for some reason just couldn't be frank and rude about it. "Well..I just don't see why you wanna go so badly…" Natsuki answered as she nonchalantly rubbed the back of her head.
"You see, I've never been to a slumber party before…" Shizuru informed. "And Natsuki's going to be there so I just must attend!" She finished happily as she attached herself to the blunette's arm.
Natsuki ripped her arm out of the older girl's grip and used that hand to point in her face. "You liar! You've been to a sleep-over before! What about when you stay over at my house? I know you've slept at Reito's more than once!"
"Sleeping over at Natsuki and Reito's home's doesn't count as a slumber party." Shizuru told her bluntly.
"Hah?" Natsuki sounded as confused as an American in a Japanese public bathroom.
Shizuru puffed out her cheeks a bit in distress as she wasn't getting her point across to the blunette. "Natsuki, a slumber party is when there's a number of people are sleeping over, as far as I can remember, when I sleep over at Natsuki's house, it's just us two."
Natsuki seemed to be processing this information when the door suddenly swung open and nearly whacked Shizuru in the face.
"Oi! Watch what you're doing!" Natsuki yelled at the handsome girl with glasses in consideration for her tea drinking friend.
"Sorry, I didn't want everyone eavesdropping for too long…" Mai explained as she made herself known from behind the crowd of people whom, Nastuki assumed, were eavesdropping on her conversation.
Natsuki sneered at the nosy group of teens. "Curiousity killed the gossipers." She commented dryly as she let herself in.
Shizuru quickly scurried after her with an amused smile forming on her lips, "I believe curiousity killed the cat, Natsuki."
"Slip of the tongue." Natsuki stated, as she gave Chie and Aoi her infamous Kuga Death Glare.
The handsome girl laughed nervously, "What kind of activities do you two do at these sleep-overs?"
Shizuru's face lit up, "When I sleep at Natsuki's house we--" The tawny blond was cut off by Natsuki's hand being clamped over her mouth.
"Do nothing. It's just her…sleeping over." Natsuki explained quickly.
A cheshire grin slowly crept onto Chie's lips. "Why do I think that's a lie?"
Natsuki's reply was a glare. Aoi decided to pipe up, "You sleep over Kanzaki-sempai's house as well?"
Shizuru smiled politely after she pryed Natsuki's hand from her face. "Yes, that's correct."
Chie threw her a wolf-whistle. "You and your boyfriend doing this and that late into the night, huh?"
The tawny blonde's polite smile flew off her face and was replaced with confusion, equally as polite. "Boyfriend?"
"Don't play dumb, Kaichou-san, we all know about you and Kanzaki-sempai already!" Aoi chimed.
"Please just call me Shizuru," She told her. "As for Reito and I, we're merely friends, with no intentions of going any farther than that."
"Really?!" Mai exclaimed.
"Then, why do you two kiss all the time?" Chie asked, this was the first time the girl was on the border to confused.
"Yeah, yeah! We see you two all the time!" Aoi called.
"Because, that's how you should greet the ones you love," Shizuru answered, a grin formed onto her lips as she attached herself to Natsuki's arm. "That's how I greet Natsuki all the time!" She admitted happily.
The blunette's face turned bright red at the proclamation. "S-shizuru!"
"Eeeh?! On the lips?!" The carrot-top called out.
"Yes, everyday!" The tawny blonde nodded happily as she told them this.
"Ok, enough! This is the dumbest conversation I've ever had!" Natsuki declared out of obvious embarrassment then stomped off into the living room. Only to find a familiar bored red-head and a bubbly black haired girl lounging out on the couch. When green met green, both their faces twitched in disgust in unison.
"Don't tell me…" Natsuki started.
"You're staying over too?!" Nao finished the sentence for the girl with out even thinking about it.
The red-head jumped to her feet to match the blunette's height. " Ah, you, guys…Don't fight. We're here to enjoy ourselves tonight!" Mai called out nervously as she watched to two girls' at eachother's throats.
"There's no way I can enjoy myself when this butch is here!" The red-head yelled to Mai, but her eyes were locked onto Natsuki's.
"I can't enjoy myself with a prostitute in the house, she'll steal my money!" Natsuki countered.
Both girls glared at eachother, a pregnant silence filled the whole room with only the sound of gritting teeth to be heard. Suddenly, they jumped eachother, pulling hair and slapping faces. Mai ran over to break it up only to slapped in the process. The nasty insults that were being thrown between the two women, distracting them from the hurt carrot-top.
"Natsuki." The stern voice did not come from the carrot-top, but the tawny blonde whom was getting tired of the disruption.
Immediately, Natsuki stopped, turned to her best-friend and smiled innocently, "Ye--"
"Enough, Natsuki." Shizuru stated, cutting off the blunette from whatever inoccent game she was about to pull.
And as if she were a dog obeying her master, Natsuki let go of Nao's collar and backed off, ignoring the smug look on the red-head's face. "Whatever…" The blunette grumbled as if to play it off cool, "Mai, where do you keep your mayo?" She asked out of the blue, perhaps wanting a distraction.
"Actually, we ran out yesterday." Mai admitted as she held her abused cheek.
Natsuki sighed deeply and plopped down and made herself comfy on the couch. "Oh, just perfect." She grumbled.
As time went by and everyone was comfortable in her home, Mai decided it was time for some games. Of course, she had wanted to start with karaoke, but Chie said she had a better idea. The gossiper ran into the kitchen and came out with seven popsicles.
"Chie is confused, there's supposed to be yummy icecream on those." Mikoto stated as she observed the empty popsicle sticks.
Chie smirked, "No, Mikoto, this is for our game." She informed.
"And exactly what game are we playing?" Mai inquired suspiciously.
"The King's game!" Aoi chimed cheerfully as Chie nodded in confirmation.
Mikoto smiled naively, Mai slapped her forehead, Nao let out an exasperated sigh and Natsuki groaned. Only Shizuru sat in confusion, she had never heard of such game. "The King's game?" She spoke, in hope that someone would catch on and explain the rules.
"Have you never played this game, Kai--Shizuru?" Aoi asked, her voice held a bit of surprise.
"I have not."
Chie threw her hands up in excitement, "Whoo! We have a first-timer, folks!" She annouced into an imaginary microphone.
Mai rolled her eyes at the girl's action and turned to Shizuru, "Basically, everyone picks a stick. If you get the 'K' stick, you're the King. Without knowing anyone's number, the King gets to pick any number, one through six in this case, and command the person with that number."
Shizuru nodded, thankuful for the informative girl. This sounded as if it would be quite amusing. "Okay! Let's begin! Everyone pick a stick!" Chie called. Everyone gathered around Chie's out-stretched hand to grab their stick.
Not a minute later did the King come forward. "Looks like I'm the King!" Nao publicated.
Her mouth went from a slight frown to a true cheshire grin as her eyes caught sight of everyone's near-terrified faces. "Let's see, I want…number…one…and number five to kiss."
Shizuru, looked up at her number's mention as did the other girl. "Me! I'm number five! Mai's number one, right?" Mikoto jumped up and down excitedly.
Mai gave her roommate a sympathetic look, "No, Mikoto, I'm number six."
"Then who--"
"Nao-san, do you think you could change the command, I believe it would be quite inapproprate for me to follow through on your charge." Shizuru said, trying to reason with the girl with the front that she didn't want to kiss the youngster.
Nao's grin only widened, she knew what Shizuru was trying to do and she wasn't going to let her have her way. "Nope," She said, crossing her arms. "Go on you two, the King commands it."
Most hesitantly, Shizuru leaned in to kiss the young girl on the cheek. But Nao wouldn't have any of that. "No, no, no, the lips."
Shizuru whipped her head at the red-head. "Surely you can't be serious! She's only thirteen, I'm almost eighteen!"
"Yeah, Nao, that is a little raunchy …" Mai piped up, obviously seeing the wrong-ness that the situation before her provided.
Before anyone could get another word in, Mikoto pressed her lips to Shizuru's. Almost immediately, Shizuru pulled away, her mouth half gaped. While everyone else in the room, aside from Nao and the naively smiling Mikoto, had their jaws on the floor.
The only thing in the room to be heard was Nao's obnoxious laughter. Mikoto threw her hands in the air, "I win! What do I win?!" She asked as she swung her head around excitedly.
'You're going to earn a slap to the face, I didn't want to kiss you…you..you little…' Shizuru didn't act on her thoughts, she actually did the exact opposite, the tawny-blonde simply kept her mouth shut and sat back down in her spot next to Natsuki calmly.
"Let's move on, shall we?" Shizuru suggested in the silence.
All the sticks went back into Chie's hand and everyone picked their sticks once again. This time the King stick was in Natsuki's possesion.
The blunette leaned into the couch a bit, "I'm the King…" She stated, less than excited.
The girl sighed, "I want number six and two to…hug…" Natsuki ordered, only to be met with a room full of 'boos' at the boring command.
"C'mon, Kuga! Make it more interesting!" Chie called.
Natsuki crossed her arms and turned her head with an idignant look, "Interesting as in explicit, right? Sorry, I don't have any interest in watching two girl's make out."
The blunette looked to her right, when green met red, she saw the hurt in the older girl's eyes. Natsuki's face contorted into confusion, before she could ask what brought such a pained look to her friend's face, Chie spoke again.
"No need to hide it, Kuga! We all know you like watching that kind of thing."
Natsuki's head whipped to the girl in glasses, "What?!"
"We all know you're gay." She elaborated bluntly.
"I am not!"
"You ride a motorcycle."
"So?!" Natsuki yelled, her face now thoroughly flushed.
Shizuru giggled, "Leave Natsuki be, if she's a lesbian, then good for her." 'And me…'
"Shizuru!" Natsuki cried in desperation.
"Go on with your command, Nat-su-ki." The tea-drinker said, stretching out her name.
The alleged lesbian grumbled something inaudible, before making her command. "You all want explicit? Fine! Six and two, you have seven minutes in heaven!" Natsuki boomed as she motioned towards the coat closet.
Chie and Aoi stood up in unison, "We'll be back in seven minutes, then." Chie informed nonchalantly as the strolled off towards the closet.
After the door clicked in indication that the door had been shut, Natsuki spoke, "There, now I don't have to watch it."
Silence was dominant in the room for what seemed like hours, when in actuallity, only two minutes had gone by. Mai cleared her throat, trying to break the silence, "So…what are we supposed to do for the next five minutes?"
What will they do? Review and find out!
