CHAPTER 9-LECTURE
"Ara", Shizuru stopped drinking her tea and turned to face 2 pairs of emeralds.
"W-what the…"Natsuki mumbled, afraid her guess was right.
"U-um wrong room..we'll be leaving then" Nao said hurriedly as she saw the two badges on the room occupants' left hand.
"OI! BUBUZUKE! OPEN THE DOOR UP!" shouted Haruka from the outside
Nao turned around to stare at the other two girls in the room as if to say: DON'T! I'll die if you do that! When she finally realized a small plate at the back of where they were seated which wrote: COUNCIL LOUNGE.
"H-heck we came into the lair itself!", Nao shouted as she rushed through different ideas on how to escape, not finding one that was suitable.
"Bubuzuke! Open the door up! Those to are skippers!" Haruka boomed from the other side while kicking the door repeatedly.
Shizuru finally realized what was happening and stood up. She walked toward the door with her usual smile. Though Natsuki felt that she seemed to be smirking.
"Pup! I'll make sure none of those council members get near you, you hold the door in place okay?" Nao shouted as she lowered herself, on guard INCASE Shizuru had the guts to attack.*never judge a book by it's cover…this Kaicho probably is a fighter like what I heard other students say…fighter sounds weird on this Kaicho, but who cares*
"What's the point? It's not like we can escape or anything now, and besides even if we could they would just totally recognize us" Natsuki said as she pushed her hands and feet to the door, supporting it at the main points incase it were to just crash down or something. *Man! This girl is strong!*
"I know that my idea is just as stupid as you, but I don't like to go down without a fight, at least just tire these people out" Nao spat, covering up for the missed fact that Natsuki had pointed out.
"Ara…is Nat-su-ki and Nao going to hurt me?" Shizuru teased as she took a step closer.
*Hurt her? How can I even- HECK! Stop…this type of thinking and besides, I heard a few student the other day saying that this woman is pretty good at fighting…she probably had hurt herself or something the other day and so fell prey to those perverts*Natsuki thought quickly.
"Well, I heard you can fight, how can I hurt you then? Kaicho?" Nao mumbled.
"Ookini Nao" She said reaching one hand forward to lightly 'push' her away from the door.
Nao hit Shizuru's hand away, making sure it wouldn't be felt as a violent move to the woman in front of her. The last thing she wanted at this moment was to get into a fist fight with a council member.
Shizuru decided that doing this in such a tough way would be 'uncivilised' and tiring and so leaned forward to hug Natsuki from the back when Nao had moved to the side to block her left hand.
"WHAT THE F-FUCK" Natsuki shouted as she blushed and released the door of the room, causing it to burst open with an infuriated Haruka.
"PUP!"Nao shouted as she realized that it was her fault that messed the entire 'try to tire these people out' plan.
Shizuru flinched on the inside when she heard the words come out of Natsuki's mouth. She loosened her grip on Natsuki and whispered into her ear. "Ara, language Natsuki, you're now a captive in my lair and that means you are under my mercy, after all, I choose how to punish you, yes?" She finished before blowing into Natsuki's ear.
*WHAT THE HELL DID SHE MEAN BY-…holy…my thoughts are too so sick, NATSUKI KRUGER! Get a grip!*Natsuki thought as she felt her brain numb a little.
*Ara ara, I wonder if that sounded 'dirty' to Natsuki*Shizuru couldn't help but giggle when she felt Natsuki's weight on her getting heavier as though she was a bit faint.
"Are you okay Natsuki?" Shizuru said louder this time so that Natsuki would 'recover' from her small tease.
"W-what? Of course I'm okay!...Are you gonna punish me already or what?"Natsuki said gruffly as she tried to cover up her blush with her 'tough' voice.
Finally releasing Natsuki from her grip, Shizuru took a step back, her gaze meeting Haruka's angry eyes.
"Bubuzuke, you do know what might have happened if anyone saw that, besides, I have yet to scold you for that gossip those two 'reporters' passed, stop flirting with the students in school woman", Haruka said in a softer tone as she stepped into the room to make sure the two students were the ones she was chasing earlier on.
"Ha, and I thought she was the Kaicho" Nao spat, trying to infuriate the council's vice-president even more.
Haruka clenched her fists and stiffly walked toward Nao before Yukino stopped her with a small light tap on the former's shoulder, causing Haruka to relax.
The room was quiet for a while before Haruka suddenly stiffened and shouted, "I THOUGHT IT WAS COUNCIL MEETING TODAY! WHERE ARE THE REST?"
"Ara, Reito and Mikoto did not come today as they had going to meet their parents, as for Alyssa, she had signed is sick today" Shizuru replied calmly causing Haruka to feel as though she was going to explode.
"I suppose we can postpone this meeting then?" Yukino said softly when she noticed Haruka's face turning red with all the anger that was building up in her.
"Fine! Then we shall punish them now, then" Haruka softened when she heard Yukino's comforting voice.
"Ara, looks like the punishment for them, going by the rules is to give them internal suspension, right Haruka?" Shizuru said in her silky voice as she tried to cover the fact that they had tried to escape, which usually means heavier punishment.
Haruka, being too angry to think had just agreed to it, "BUT, they have to stay here for scolding"
"Shit! Why the F-" Natsuki stopped when she saw Shizuru's disapproving gaze and decided to comply."Fine, be quick".
Nao had just grunted and continued staring at her nails, getting over the fact that she had internal suspension just after she was told about it.
"Firstly, you disrespect your teachers by skipping their lessons, do you not know what respect is?!"Haruka boomed, getting angry again.
"Um, yes?" was Natsuki's gruff reply
Yukino then interrupted before Haruka could say anything, "If you do know what respect is, then please do not talk back when someone is asking you a question and please pay attention to the speaker".
Haruka snorted, happy that Yukino finally stood up for her.
"Fine, go on" Nao mumbled before keeping her nail file.
"Ara, looks like it's my turn?" Shizuru smiled sweetly and said.
"There are no turns in this!" Haruka relied, her voice loud but without any anger.
Shizuru pouted and decided to continue the lecture, "Do you know that skipping classes would probably result in failures for your exams?" She said in a caring tone.
"And failures would mean getting expelled", Yukino said.
"Yea, this is no longer high school or middle school you know? You don't just get to stay back for a year when you fail, here you get EXPELLED" Haruka bolded the expelled part dramatically.
"Yep…but who said I would fail? Are you cursin' us Kaicho?" Nao spat, getting bored of the lecture.
"Ara ara, sorry if you took it that hard, but no, I did not mean it that way", Shizuru replied as she fixed her gaze on Natsuki's as if to probe an answer from the girl. When the girl did not reply, she asked with her usual velvety voice, "What about Kruger-chan?"
"What's with the Forma-"Natsuki stopped short when she realized that they were in the council room
*Oh yea…Shizuru isn't supposed to know me…but still- -probably cause' that Haruka woman isn't happy with the rumour…and if she had said my name…that idiot would probably start another ruckus when she notices that I'm the girl in that stupid rumour* Natsuki thought, but even with all the reasoning, she somehow felt uncomfortable about Shizuru being so formal…like she was trying to distance herself from her. That thought make Natsuki something tugging at the inside of her.
"Oh…well…it's not like I need some stupid degree to succeed a stupid company..and if I want a degree, I can just get into another University some other time in my life…I mean, more adults are getting into Uni at even the age of 40 right?...Shizuru" Natsuki said casually, illiciting a 'SPOILT BRAT' from Nao.
Natsuki glared at Nao for her comment and turned back at Shizuru who looked at her, her eyes filled with amusement and a hint of shock.
*D-did Natsuki just sound jealous?...when she said…Shizuru…or was it anger?...Ara ara I would be pleased if it were jealousy…this girl intrigues me to no end*Was what crossed Shizuru's mind when Natsuki stared at her, cocking her head a little to the left, like a confused puppy.
"Why are ya' staring at me like that?" Natsuki said when Shizuru's eyes seemed to get more and more amused by the second.
"Ara, did Na-Kruger-san just call me by my first name?" Shizuru's tongue tripped when she had almost called the girl by her first name.
"Yes, you gotta' problem with that woman?"
"RESPECT!" shouted the short fused woman at the other end of the table.
"Even though you have the money and power to succeed in life in future, don't you think that you should…put in effort in your studies since you have made it so far? And…I'm not cursing you or anything, but, what IF your dad does not let you succeed the company…or…something..else crops up?...like the fall of…" Yukino was cut-off by the blue haired girl in front of her.
"Well, IF that were to happen…then I MIGHT be happier that way…I mean, holy! I finally get to open some garage with my savings and run it like a normal person".
Haruka made a small frown at the girl's statement while Shizuru had smiled in amusement at the ambitions of this girl.
*Ara, my dad would never allow me to even think of what this girl had just said…I wonder what company her dad runs…it doesn't seem to be a small one from the way Natsuki is talking*Shizuru made a mental note to check up Natsuki's student profile when she had time.
*This girl is…crazy!...let's just get to briefing them with the punishments already…it's not like they're gonna listen to the lecture anyway…this girl is one of those few rare people I have seen that dares to talk to Shizuru in this way…and Shizuru seems to be happy about it…what goes on this that woman's mind anyway?*Haruka thought as her frown intensified.
"The punishment will be decided by the Kaicho, you will not be allowed to argue about what you get and it will come into effect immediately after the words leave her mouth" Yukino said with a voice that held a tad more authority then usual.
"NO, SHI-BUBUZUKE, DON'T GO BY THE BOOK" was Haruka's small objection before her hopes where thrashed by Shizuru's "Ookini Yukino, I guess I'll have to go by the book and give you two internal suspension, yes?"
Shizuru said as she leaned her back to her chair and went back to quietly sipping her tea while waiting for the blue haired student's response, which, she quite confidently knew that it was going to be a big one.
Nao just went back to her nails after Shizuru finished the 'verdict' as she had expected it the minute they had stepped into the room.
Natsuki stood there blinking, with her head still cocked to one side. *It must be pretty serious…...BUT UP TILL NOW I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS BLOODY INTERNAL SUSPENSION!* was the only thing that passed through Natsuki's mind when she saw Shizuru drinking her tea.
Finally the blue haired girl slowly opened her mouth, afraid she would get laughed at by Nao or something when she finally summoned the courage and said, "Hey…um, what is Internal Suspension?"
Shizuru paused for awhile, sad that her prediction had not come true but even more amused that the girl was ignorant about what Internal Suspension meant.
Yukino waited for Shizuru to reply but explained when no answer came, "Internal Suspension is when the student does something wrong and-"
"Yea, whatever has to know their mistakes bla bla bla…just tell me what it is alrea-" Natsuki said impatiently as Nao jokingly shouted, "RESPECT!" like how Haruka had said it before.
"Good one!" Natsuki said as she and Nao both earned a glare from Haruka
Yukino continued before Haruka could use physical force "It is when you get punished to sit in the campus' front foyer for as long as the punisher states, with one student councilor looking after you and no communication will be allowed".
"AND THAT, is practically why I said NOT to use it, bubuzuke".
"Ara, why? Is Haruka scared she might de-prove if she misses 5 of her English lessons?" Shizuru openly teased.
"BUBUZUKE ONNA! We have students here!"
"Does that mean that you enjoy my teasing when we're not with anybody formal?"
"HELL, NO!"
"Tsk tsk" Natsuki clucked her tongue "Language darling, language" she said, her voice turning motherly like as she decided to take advantage of the situation and help Shizuru tease her vice and at the same time get back at her.
"RESPECT!" Nao said with a laugh.
Haruka's face turned red with for the hundredth time in the hour as she felt the end of her lip twitch slightly. Shizuru on the other hand had giggled and turned back to Natsuki, shocked at how mature her voice could become.
Yukino then said "But Fujino-san, all our council members will be very busy this week…only a few courses like Business management, accountancy, human relations, management and a few others are free this week.
"Then we can get a SCG to do it" Haruka suggested before being turned down by Yukino, "But it is strictly against our code to let Internal Suspension be guarded by a CG or SCG".
Shizuru took out her PDA to sort out her events to see if she was free and finally said" Ara ara looks like I'll be free this week…I'll take charge then".
"Bubuzuke! You aren't supposed to use any digital device in here other than the tablet PCs issued!"
"Ara, but this is important, yes?"
"Fine, don't do it again…but…are you sure you can handle em? Don't just suddenly run off from your duties cause you want to experiment what the result would be like back when you were still a CG…and I don't want that to happen you know? These two bakas deserve their just desserts" Haruka stated.
Natsuki was shocked for a moment.*Shizuru was a CG before? Heck I wonder how she does her duties…and…it's hard to even imagine her as a CG…*
Shizuru pouted, "Ara, does Haruka-chan not trust me so much?"
"It's not that…but fine…since you're the only one free…BUT…if ANYTHING happens…you're so dead"
"I guess that's all?" Nao said annoyed as she stared at the three councilors in front of her.
"Yes, you two may leave" Yukino said as she stood up, ready to leave as well since there wasn't any council meeting after this.
Shizuru stood up and helped the two girls open the door before packing up her things and leaving for her dormitory.
"What's so bad about Internal Suspension? I mean…hell, you get to skip class for 5 days!" Natsuki said as she lay on her bed getting her phone out to call Mai to have her 'nagging therapy' so she could sleep.
"What's wrong? Oh…you'll see…and…god, you're like a kid, you seriously NEED to talk to that girl every night so you can sleep? A pup is a pup indeed…finish your conversation fast…I need to sleep" Nao rolled her eyes as she turned off the room lights.
Natsuki dialed Mai's number and put her phone to her ear.
"Natsuki?"came Mai's voice after half a minute.
"Hey Mai…I already have a topic for you to nag about…it's about…"
"Wait, Natsuki, you skipped class today didn't you?"
"yea…"
"HOW COULD YOU!?"
"WAIT! Let me finish…I just wanted to say that the topic I had for you to nag about is…about my punishment for skipping class…I got…Internal Suspension"
"WHAT?!?..."
"Yea…"
-Silence-
"Wait…what is that?"
"See? I'm not dumb for not knowing what Internal suspension is" Natsuki muttered.
"What ever it is…Natsuki…how could you skip class?!?"
Shizuru looked up the ceiling of her room even though she could not see anything because the room was pitch black.
*Taking care of Internal Suspension…Ara…that's going to be tough…hopefully with Natsuki around it won't be that boring….Natsuki's mature voice was just so cute…and she did sound a lot like a teacher and mother…*
Shizuru turned to her clock to check the time after a few minutes: 22:55
*Ara, I had better sleep early…I don't want to wake up late again tomorrow…*
Shizuru curled into a comfortable position and fell asleep after several minutes.
*Natsuki…..*
