CHAPTER 2-FIRST MEETING?

The sound of a Ducati bike going at high speeds echoed through the empty jogging/racing track. Natsuki was trying out the new race track her dad had designed for the school when they needed it for sports events like the annual sports day but it will only be officially opened at the end of the year and so she had the entire place to herself till the end of the year.

After rounding the last curb for her tenth time, she turned off the engine and parked her bike at the side of a safety railing.

Natsuki sat down on the floor beside her bike and scanned the surroundings of the indoor race track again…she felt glued to the stadium's look and the calmness she felt when inside it…and she loved the way her footsteps would echo through the spacious stadium whenever she moved.

It was a beautiful stadium with the classical round edged rectangle jogging/racing track with seats at the sides of the entire track like a Greek coliseum. The ceiling was an enclosed glass structure which made the sky look as clear as though she was looking through crystal clear waters.*Well, if they don't clear that and some dirt and god-knows-what get there…it's gonna look like I'm looking at muddy waters…how do they clean that actually?*

A few footsteps echoed through the stadium interrupting her thoughts. She spun around to see who had invaded her supposedly private place and found herself meeting her friend's purple gaze "Mai? What are you doing here?"

"I was bored and heard about an un-opened stadium nearby where you could see the stars through the glass top and, you know, dropped by" Mai answered, scratching the back of her head.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HEARD OF AND DROP BY? You practically BROKE-IN MAI!"Natsuki shouted at her orange-haired friend

"I did not! The main entrance was open Natsuki"

*oh shit, I forgot to close the damned door*"D-did anyone else enter?"

"No, I closed the door for you, don't worry" Mai said, her smile widening as she looked up at the night sky.

"Sugoi! So the rumor was true! You can really see the open night sky here!" Mai whispered her eyes sparkling in awe of the sight before her.

"Yea, whatever enjoy yourself I'm going back to the dorms, school's starting in 2 days I have yet to unpack my stuff" with that, Natsuki threw the keys of the stadium to her friend and left on her Ducati

"Thanks Natsuki! Catch you later!"

"Shit, it's starting to rain" the blue haired girl muttered as she sped her bike back to Fuuka University.

She was finding a place by the road to stop at so that she could wear her jacket when she saw a girl roughly the age of 20 getting pushed around by two seemingly drunk men

----------------------------------

Shizuru backed into the wall looking for something to use for her self-defense, she was trained in using the naginata and had a good knowledge of hand to hand combat but she had hurt her right wrist earlier while training with her naginata.

"awwww, ain't that cute? She looks like a damsel in distress" a tall man about the height of 170cm moved forward, his hands reaching out for Shizuru.

"Well then let me be your hero lady" the other drunk man reached out and grabbed Shizuru's right arm.

"Oi! You two idiots! It's so late already, can't you just give that woman a freaking break?" a blue haired girl stepped forward, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Oh look, another one for you Mike, now you don't have to snatch MINE anymore" the taller man beckoned for the other to grab Natsuki.

The charged went forward to grab Natsuki's wrist in a tight hold and jerked her toward himself trying to embrace her in a forced bear hug.

Natsuki grabbed her attacker's arm with her free hand and pulled him toward her left then kicked him hard in the stomach with her knee, causing 'mike' to loosen his hold on her right hand and clench his stomach in pain.

Seeing another opening, Natsuki lifted her leg and hit the man in his chest. Mike fell to the floor in pain and groaned.

"Now that-is for touching me freak" Natsuki lowered herself and kicked the man in the back before turning to stare at her other opponent.

The other drunkard turned his attention away from Shizuru and charged toward Natsuki like a rabid animal.

Natsuki easily side-stepped out of the other drunkard's way pushing him in the back and causing him to fall on his friend. "idiots." she muttered and stepped on her second opponent's head

Natsuki turned around and her emeralds met the eyes of the victim's crimson ones. *Wow, you don't get to see blood red eyes everyday do you? A-and…this girl is so beautiful, no wonder these assholes targeted her* Natsuki thought as she found herself lost in pools of red that seemed so alluring.

"Ara, is there something wrong Hero-san?" Shizuru said as she took a step toward the blue-haired girl in front of her and held out her hand, her gaze held steady on her 'saviour'.

"N-no! No…I was just wandering what someone like you would be doing out here…so late at night" Natsuki lied, embarrassed that she had gotten caught at ogling a girl.*Natsuki so does not ogle, what the hell's wrong with me tonight?...must be that I'm too tired*

"Ara…I was just coming back from weekly training" Shizuru stated matter of factly.

*WHY THE HELL do you need to know why she's out so late? You are so NOT her mom!*"oh, ok…um care for a ride home?" the brunette asked out of concern for the girl in front of her.

"That would not be needed, my house is just down the road hero-san"

"O-oh ok…" Natsuki said awkwardly after a few seconds of silence

*Ara, I would like to know more about this person who had saved me but haruka-chan will be sure to nag at me about my principles and the school's curfew if I don't get back to the dormitories soon and I would be a bad example for the student body too…*

After few more seconds of silence, Shizuru looked at her watch

---------

9:50

---------

*Ara…I am way pass the dormitories' curfew already…even though it's holiday and the curfew is an hour later…*

"Gomenasai hero-san but it's getting late and I have to go back home before my friends start worrying…see you another time if fate allows it, yes?"

"U-uh y-yea…you better get going"

Shizuru politely bowed and walked off, the clicking of her shoes echoed off the sidewalk as she made her way to the year 3 dormitories.

"Now that was heck of a conversation…oh…and she didn't even say thanks…not that I want it…" Natsuki watched the back of the woman she had just saved disappear into a sharp corner of the street dreamily….

She was brought back to reality by the two groaning 'bastards' below her feet.

"That's what you get for trying to touch me" Natsuki smirked and got onto her Ducati, not noticing that she had rode in the exact same direction the girl she had saved disappeared to.

"Welcome back roomy" Nao spat as she heard the doors open

"Roomy?..oh yea…I forgot, you weren't in when I came here yesterday…I thought this school had a curfew…why weren't you back before it?…" Natsuki replied, dropping her wet helmet onto the floor.

"I snuck out, you got a problem with that?"Nao replied deadpanned*at least this one doesn't go: OH MY GOD are you hurt? How come you stayed out? Did something happen? ...if she DID I would totally rather abandon my bloody scholarship in this school and request a transfer IMMEDIATELY*

*looks like I got some room mate which isn't that goody two shoes huh? And she sneaks out in the night?...that's GREAT now no one will stop me if I do that too…now…I just need to find out HOW*natsuki mentally noted

"Of course I don't have a problem with that. It's your life, remember? Roomy?"

"Nao, not the roomy crap"

"Natsuki, nice to meet you" she muttered then walked to the shared bathroom

*With a campus that even that wimpy room mate of mine could escape?... I have a feeling I might like it here already* Natsuki thought with her signature badass smirk as she turned on the shower head
