Chapter 3 - Stumble


"EH?!" Natsuki yelled, jumping up and screaming at Shizuru. What the hell?! She just wants to talk about Mai and this crazy ass chick wants her to... to do this and that! "I'm not stripping! I'm not taking anything off at all, you've gone off the deep end!"

Shizuru smiled at her and looked the girl over. Oh, this would be fun... "Natsuki, I would help me if you strip yourself. Other wise I shall have to do it for you." she said, taking off her suit jacket and throwing it on the floor. After seeing the scared look in Natsuki's face, she hid a grin and started undoing her shirt; but stopped after 3 buttons. "Natsuki, this is mandatory. Mai shall get the same treatment. I must strip search you to make sure there is nothing to hide; I just won't make you go completely naked. Unless you rather Reito do it... for the both of you..."

'Mai...' Natsuki thought. It was either take a hit for the team or risk Mai being raped. Again. A heavy blush rose to her entire body as she made her decision. She grumbled less than innocent words under her breath as she unbuttoned her shirt and let it slide from her shoulders. She didn't want to look Shizuru in the eye; the woman was probably grinning like the devil himself and staring at her with a lustful gaze.

As she reached for her pants, Natsuki did look up. Shizuru had her back turned to the girl and her hands over her eyes. 'Sh-She's not looking... She's nicer than I thought. I still don't trust her though' she thought has her pants dropped. She stepped out of them, and stood in her bare undies in front of the most powerful woman in Fuuka. Daunting. "I-I'm done, Fujino."

"Ara... May I look? Or would you rather cover up with something?" Shizuru asked. The whole point of this was to check if they had stolen anything, yes, but also to get Natsuki to trust her. The girl was hard all around and through and only seemed to have a soft spot for Mai; that had to change.

"Just... get it over with." Natsuki said, crossing her arms under her chest. Shizuru waited a few seconds before turning around, keeping her eyes down cast. Natsuki was very grateful. Shizuru kneeled down and picked up each piece of clothing while looking it over, checking the pockets and checking for anything that might be hidden.

All the while, Natsuki tried her best not to look down the open shirt right below her; a blush upon her cheeks. Shizuru had a chest alright... fuck...

"Ara.... Natsuki isn't cold while standing there?" Shizuru asked from her place on the floor. There was no need to make this awkward. She just had to do what needed to be done and hopefully in the end, Natsuki would trust her just a little bit more. Oh god she wanted to look up right now, it was killing her! Sure, she had been with both men and woman, but something about this tough girl made her hot and bothered.

"Umm.." the bluenette shifted on her feet and clutched her arms a little bit closer to herself. 'I thought... I thought this family was full of womanizers! She... might be different' she thought earnestly. If only she knew... "No, it's perfect. This house if perfect." she said, no longer holding up her wall.

She smiled to herself a bit and watched Shizuru toss the shirt at her feet, which the girl quickly picked up and put on. Shizuru picked up the pants next, turning them inside out, "Just a few more minutes please. And, that's good. I hope this can become like a new home to Natsuki-chan and Mai-san." she said, running her hands over the fabric of the pants.

"It's the only home I've ever really had since the orphanage ten years ago." Shit. Shizuru paused. Shit shit. The Fujino looked up at her with a questioning stare and a slight blush. Triple shit. She wasn't supposed to say that. No one was supposed to know she used to be an orphan. It was against the law to be out on the streets. If you're younger than 17!!

"Natsuki..." Shizuru started, pausing to pick up the pants and stand up. Natsuki lowered her gaze to the ground and blushed; Fujino was staring at her. Right at her while she was nearly naked and had just spilled a horrible secret. She could get arrested, do time, get fined; Mai would be in trouble. "...you should get dressed and go tell Mai to come to my room." she finished, tossing the pants to Natsuki.

The woman caught them and stared at her employer in shock, "You're... not gonna do anything?" she asked, slipping the pants on.

The other woman turned to her and smiled softly, opening the door, "About what?"

The bluenette stepped in the door way and stopped, turning and glaring at the crimson eyed woman in front of her. "And you're never making me take off my clothes for you again." she growled out, pushing on the woman's shoulder and walking down the hall with a stomp in her step.

Well Natsuki's back. Shizuru grinned slightly and watched the girl go, "Of course not... because next time you shall take them off on your own free will...."

--

The chicken sizzled as it was placed into the hot pan. Mai grinned in satisfaction and drizzled on some oil and salt and pepper. "Natsuki, do you think they'll mind lemon chicken?"

"Isn't that what we had for lunch?" the other woman asked as she tossed a lemon in the air, catching it and tossing it up again with her good hand. She was bored. She and Mai made up a deal where she would clean the rooms, Mai would cook. The deal came about when Natsuki was checking if the pan was ready and she burnt herself.

She was no longer aloud near the stove now, anyway.

The busty woman caught the lemon before her friend could catch it and started to zest it over a bowl. This family probably ate at the most expensive places in Japan. Her cooking had to be the best! "So what if it was? I don't know how to cook much, but I guess I'm good at it so shut up! Now, I'm guessing Fujino-sama searched you too?"

"Yea yea... whatever..." the woman replied, picking up another lemon. Tossing the sour pocket in the air again, she watched Mai vest the other lemon over the chicken before cutting it in half and squeezing the lemon over it. "Mai... how much does Reito bother you when I'm not around? He's just like Douchebag."

"Still calling Tate Douchebag, huh?" Mai asked, tossing the dry lemon in the trash and picking up another one from beside Natsuki. She stopped in front of her friend and looked up at her concerned partner, "He's doesn't do anything. He just tries to be charming and handsome and it makes me physically sick. There is nothing to worry about, I don't like him." she said, poking her friend's stomach.

Natsuki jumped a bit and glared back, making Mai laugh, "Mai, I don't care if you like him, love him, or you want to marry him. No one is going to touch you again!"

"Natsuki sounds like a jealous girlfriend."

"Shizuru-sama!" Mai said, bowing lowly. Natsuki hardened her glare and nodded her head in the woman's direction to acknowledge her. Mai glared at her friend and smacked her knee, making the other just glare and growl at her, "Natsuki, be nice!"

"Whatever..." the bluenette grumbled.

Shizuru smiled at her treatment nonetheless. If Natsuki wanted to be mean, she could be; she could do whatever she wanted as far as Shizuru was concerned. "Mai, I just came to see how dinner is coming." she explained, walking into the kitchen and stopping at the counter Natsuki was sitting on. She turned to the woman and smiled at her warmly, "Good evening, Nat-Su-Ki." she sung, drawing out the name.

Natsuki blushed and jumped off the counter, looking down and walking out of the kitchen while mumbling something alone the lines of either 'stupid flirting womanizer', or 'take a fucking stabilizer'. The Fujino could only wonder... Oh well. "Mai, I was just coming down to say that Father will not be here for dinner, and Reito and I would rather eat in my office, if its okay."

"Of course!" Mai said, slipping the cooked chicken onto two plates and handing them to Shizuru. "I'd take them up myself, but I have to clean and Natsuki's acting a bit weird..."

Shizuru took the plates the plates and nodded thankfully, "There is nothing to worry about, Mai-san. And good choice; the chicken that is. Lemon is Reito's favorite." she said, motioning to the chicken.

Making a disgusted face, Mai nodded back. "Well than next times its orange. No offence."

"Orange is my favorite."

"Orange it is."

--

"Keep it in your pants."

"Eh?!" Reito yelled, chicken flying from his mouth. He picked up his tea and took a sip, swallowing everything in his mouth after Shizuru's statement. She came up with his favorite meal, made tea, sat them down to talk, and now she's telling him he can't even have sex anymore?! Bitch... "I'll do what I want."

"I don't care what you want or what you have to do to get it. Or if you get it, just don't get it from Mai." Shizuru said, eating a piece of her chicken and glaring at her cousin. "She doesn't need it and doesn't want it. Go get a hooker or something."

Reito laughed and gave his cousin and cocky smile, running a hand through his hair. "Every girl wants it. She just doesn't know it yet."

"Than I hope you don't mind Natsuki cutting your penis off, as she said she would." Shizuru countered, cutting the chicken in front of her with her knife harder than needed.

The man watched the knife carefully and shifted very uncomfortably in his chair. "Than I'll make Natsuki mine first."

Shizuru's knife scratched against the plate loudly while her eye twitched. He didn't say what she thought he did, did it? Oh fuck no...! "Natsuki will have none of that. I like these maids; you will not do anything to them. Ever. They will not be fired because you're a horn dog."

"Oh don't act like your hormones aren't involved in this either, cousin dear." Reito said with a smirk. Nothing got by him; he was trained for it as well as Shizuru. "I've seen those looks to Natsuki when no ones looking. Or at least when you think no one's looking. Shameful, really. And if I can get the Senators daughter's virginity, I can get Kuga's. And I will, if I can. No girl can resist my charms, and Kuga's a girl."

Shizuru gulped. Reito, like herself, was powerful. They were both womanizers and had an ability to get who ever they wanted. She had confidence to get Natsuki to trust her and (hopefully one day) love her. But if Reito decided to make the same goal, it became dangerous. Not. Good. When Shizuru didn't respond, Reito continued, "I will have Natsuki's virginity before I touch Mai. I swear that." he said, standing up. "Thank you for the meal." and with that, he walked out the door.

Shizuru sat there in shock. 'I can't let Reito... no... Natsuki will be mine first. I swear to it, too.' She thought, standing up. She left the room and walked down the hall slowly.

What if they kissed? If her and Natsuki kissed, and Natsuki liked it, would she try to get closer to her? Having total faith in her own kissing abilities, Shizuru stopped in front of a familiar door and knocked twice; waiting.

"Mai, I can't find my shorts!" Natsuki yelled, opening the door. She looked at Shizuru for a second before looking down at her self. Pants and no shirt; only a bra. She flushed and slammed the door quickly.

Shizuru giggled behind her hand until the door opened to reveal a fully clothes Natsuki in her work shirt again. The bluenette blushed again and forced herself to crack a smile, "Hey, 'Zuru. Did you need something?"

Pausing a bit, Shizuru smiled back and shook her head. "No, I just... wanted to say goodnight." she said, taking a step closer. The bluenette's eye brows both rose as she looked at Shizuru, "Goodnight?" she asked, not moving.

"Yes, goodnight." the Fujino said, taking in a deep breath. Could she really do this?

"Kay, goodnight." Natsuki said bluntly, waving to the woman and closing the door.

?! Shizuru reached out and grabbed Natsuki's wrist before the door closed and pushed the wooden thing back, opening it again. Natsuki looked at her with both confusion and wonder, "Uhh... sure you don't need anything?"

"I do need something." Shizuru said, stepping up close to the other woman. Natsuki didn't move back; instead she turned her body to face Shizuru completely. "I need to say goodnight; my way." the Fujino said, leaning in a bit.

?!?!?!? Natsuki stared as Shizuru closed her eyes and started to lean forward to kiss her. But, she found herself leaning in, too. 'What the fuck?! No, I don't want to kiss her!! NO NO NO! Mai, help me! This is against the rules! We'll get fired no I don't want t- ahhh fuck we're kissing. ...W-Who-oa..' Natsuki thought stuttered as their lips met.

The moment they did, something went through both girls. Maybe it was that spark you're supposed to feel in a first kiss, or something. But whatever it was, it triggered the next few events. Natsuki lost all control as her hands left her own body. One went to Shizuru's hair and got tangled there as the other went to the woman's hip, pulling her closer. Fujino's own hands grasped Natsuki's shoulders, efficiently deepening the kiss. And that spark was still there, and it was catching fire.

It got hot, fast. As the flames spread, the kiss grew needy and quick, but never sloppy. It was perfect. Shizuru had never had a kiss like this. And for Natsuki, it was the same. The younger woman licked Shizuru's bottom lip, begging for an entrance. It was given, and her delved into the heat of the kiss causing both to moan and press themselves even closer to each other.

Shizuru pulled back dn went forward again, kissing Natsuki's neck. The bluenettes head rolled backwards when she felt the soft lips and tongue traveling lower. She felt her stamach free fall and land between her legs, making her moan loudly.

--

Mai put the last pan back in its place and smiled at her work. She cleaned the whole damn kitchen herself and she was proud of it!

Ding Dong!

"...It's almost midnight, who could that be?" she thought out loud, walking to the door and opening it. No one was there. Mai walked out into the cold and looked around, but saw nothing. She shrugged and turned back, but noticed a small sticky note of the door. She snatched it up and read the familiar hand writing.

'Found you, Mai. I want my kid, bitch'

Tears spilled from her eyes as the small note fell to the ground. A hand flew to her stomach as one name swept through the woman's mind: Tate.

"No… no no no no no no no no no no no no!" she cried, slipping to the ground and heaving with chocked sobs. "Not now... NO!" she screamed, cryig loudly. She curled into a ball on the ground and buried her face into her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

--

"No!"

The voice traveled through the house and to the ears of a busy woman. 'Mai...'

Her head spinning, Natsuki pulled back and looked into Shizuru's wide eyes. She saw total confusion, absolute passion, and clouded lust. 'What... was that?' she thought. She untangled her hands and moved away from the Fujino, who did the same. Was it custom to make out with your boss on the first day of work? Should you totally love it and want more? Probably not, but fuck it. "G-Goodnight then, 'Zuru." she said, blushing heavily.

"Yes... goodnight, Natsuki-chan." Shizuru said, moving and walking down the hall only to disappear into her room.

Natsuki shook her head and decided to think about it later. Mai was somewhere and she need help. She sprinted down the stairs and saw a broken friend near the door. "Mai!" she shouted, running to her friend and kneeling beside her.

Mai threw herself in her friend's arms and clutched the woman like a last life line. "N-Natsuki!! He-He-He f-found me!" she screamed. Who found her? What happened? Why was she outside? All heat left the woman's body as a gust of freezing wind blew intp the house; passion gone, worry here.

Natsuki picked up her friend bridal style and carried her inside, shutting the door behind them. They went to the couch and sat down for a bit. Ten minutes later, a very calm Mai sat there, staring at her lap with Natsuki beside her, "Mai... who found you?" she asked tentively. There could be a lot of people after them, since they lived on the streets before. It could be a lot of people...

"Tate."

Time seemed to stop. Tate had found them. The man they had spent the last month hiding from had found them. He knew where they were and he could get them. Mai.. 'I will protect Mai. I'll talk to 'Zuru about security and... fuck.' she thought.

Tate wasn't an idiot. Ok well.. yea he was. But he was still smart.

Natsuki wrapped her arms around Mai and pulled the girl onto of her, "How do you know?"

"There was a note on the door." Mai said, moving closer to her friend. She only felt safe with Natsuki, that would never change. They laid down on the couch, making her sigh contently. "He said he.. wants his kid. Natsuki, I want this baby to be ours, not his."

"It won't be his. Ill figure this out, Mai. I will. Don't worry. Nothing and no one is getting this baby besides you." she said confidently. Mai nodded and soon dozed off, probably exhausted. Natsuki dozed off soon too, except she was scared shitless.
