Me: I WROTE FOR THIS!

Natsuki: Shu's been busy

Me: I'm planning a wedding

Mai: NO YOU'RE NOT

Me: I can dream, can't I?

Natsuki: You're not the one having good dreams, though

Me: -chuckles darkly- This is true... Hey babe!

Chapter 12 - Don't Give Up

Walking into the kitchen to get some breakfast, Natsuki sighed when she saw that Reito was already there. He looked like he had just gotten home... his shirt was all weird with the sleeves rolled up, blood shot eyes and messy hair. She chuckled and got a bowl and milk for cereal. "Long night?" she asked, still laughing.

"Yea, had to get out of the house. Hearing you scream every 20 minutes equals no sleep. Keep it down, sex isn't that fun." he said, glaring a bit.

Natsuki flushed a bright red and returned the glare ten fold, "Shut up, jackass!" she yelled, grabbing her cereal and sitting across from him in the table. "Besides... 'Zuru's good."

"Pssssh she has plenty of practice." Reito groaned, laying his head down on the table, "And keep it down. I got a killer hangover..."

The bluenette stopped at the sentence. Shizuru... had a lot of practice? How much? Why.. why was this the first time she was hearing it? Well it's not like 'Zuru was a whore or anything like that but.. uhh how much practice again? "Reito... you know when she first had sex, right?" she asked hesitantly. She wanted the answer... but she was also afraid of it.

Reito nodded, his head still on the counter. He raised his head to that it was resting on his chin and blinked hard at the bright light that was going into his blood shot eyes, "Her name, was Haruka... fuck I can't remember her last name! Any, she was a blonde with huge tits. But don't jump to conclusions. She almost never dated anyone and she was super smart.

"When Shizuru was president at our school in our third year, Haruka was her vice president. I was for a bit.. but chicks avoided me so I gave the job to her. Her and Shizuru became best friends and one day I guess they confiscated some alcohol from a student. Shizuru started drinking it for god knows the reason, and Haruka drank the rest because she didn't want her beloved president drunk. One thing leads to another and Boom-bam thank you ma'am! Neither of them are virgins. Is that what you wanted to know?"

Natsuki shook her head, then hung it. So... it was because her Shizuru was drunk. At least it wasn't some bad girlfriend that broke her heart and made her self conscious. She let a small smile get out from the corner of her mouth, knowing that Shizuru was past this girl that no one else could have her now.

DING DONG!

"Ugh, I'm going to bed..." Reito muttered, covering his ears and nearly running out of the room. Natsuki could hear his steps as he ran up the stairs and to his room. Then, she heard another pair going down the stairs just as fast. They stopped near the door, where she heard it open.

"Haruka!"

Natsuki felt her stomach, her jaw, and her heart drop. She slowly got up off her chair and went over to the kitchen door, slowly pushing it open and peering outside near the front door. Her hands were twitching, her knees shaking, and her shoulders shivering. 'Don't tell me… 'Zuru's first.. is here..' she thought.

By the door, Shizuru was swept up in a large hug, by a large blonde woman in pants and a yellow shirt. The blonde woman lifted Shizuru into her arms and twirled them around, making the brunette squeal and giggle. They both separated for a moment only to look at each other then rejoin in one last tight hug before finally pulling away. Shizuru smiled at her friend, "It's good to see you, Haruka." she said, a radiant smile on her face, "Didn't feel like dressing up for me?"

The blonde gave and a toothy grin, "Of course not! I'm here on vacation! A one day, one night, away from work hanging with my old best friend vacation." She said. Her eyes traveled across the room, smirking at what she saw. "Shizuru, don't mean to be a prude or anything but.. why is there a stalker in your kitchen?"

Natsuki held in a gasp when her eyes locked with the light purple ones across the room. The woman's bangs were cut extremely short, giving her a strange.. kind of creepy look. She was very tall, looked very muscular, and as Reito said: had huge tits. She was intimidating to say the least.. Natsuki walked out of the room and stood a little bit away from the two woman, "Hey." she said, staring at the woman and trying to size her up. No blonde bitch was gonna steal her love!

"Oh, Haruka," Shizuru started, going to Natsuki and putting a hand on her shoulder. This made Natsuki smirk at the woman, who glared back. "This is Natsuki Kuga! She's my.. friend." she said. Natsuki turned to Shizuru with a pissed face, glaring at her girlfriend.

Friend? Friend? That's all she was, a friend?

Haruka nodded and took Natsuki hand, shaking it with a firm grip, "Haruka Suzushiro, nice to meet you." she said with a smirk in place. She quickly released the hand and smiled at Shizuru, "Want to show me to my room, 'Zuru?"

"Oh of course. Natsuki, follow us with the bags will you?" Shizuru asked, not even looking at her. She grinned at her friend at took the blonde's hand, leading her up the stairs. Natsuki rolled her eyes and grabbed the to heavy bag easily. She followed them up the stairs, lifting the heavily bags with ease and catching Shizuru's eye. The brunette was dragging her wine eyes over the bluenette's arms and chest out of the corner of her eye.

Natsuki felt her face heat up as she looked away, walking down the hallway. They stopped at one of the guest rooms that wasn't close to anyone else's room unparticular. That was good… Shizuru opened the door let them both in Natsuki dropping the bags in the door way with a loud thud.

Haruka looked back at her with scoff and a glare, "What's your problem?" she asked, sneering at her obvious distaste at the bluenette.

'You, bitch! Stay away from 'Zuru! And only I can call her 'Zuru!' Natsuki thought, keeping her words to herself. Her growled in her throat and smiled sweetly at the woman, making the blonde blink in surprise, "Nothing, bitch." she said. Haruka's and Shizuru's jaw drops at the language coming from the woman.

Natsuki smiled at them again and turned on her heel, stepping over the bags and exiting the room with her head held high at her middle finger in the air. "Natsuki!" Shizuru called, jumping over the bags and following her girlfriend out of the room. "Can we talk in my room?" she asked. Behind her, she heard Haruka muttering some unflattering things about the bluenette to herself.

"Sure!" Natsuki agreed, walking to the large room that belonged to her lover and sitting on the bed. "So what do you want to talk about?" she asked with false happiness as Shizuru came in and closed the door behind her. She was fuming. Some blonde comes into her house – well Shizuru's really but fuck it – insults her, and acts better than her? No way!

Shizuru crossed the room in a second and pushed on Natsuki's shoulders, making her fall back onto the bed. She brunette crawled on top of the green eyes goddess and pinned Natsuki to the bed, grinning at the shocked and confused girl, "I've never seen anyone stand up to her like that. Ara, is it odd that I find that a turn on?" she asked, leaning down and licking her goddess's neck, trailing kisses all along it.

Natsuki craned her neck back and gasped, her hands reaching out and crutching the back of Shizuru's shirt "Y-Ya.. kinda. I don't... like her." Natsuki said, straining herself to not moan.

Continuing her licking and biting on the abused flesh below her, Shizuru hummed in her chest, "And why's that?" she asked. She smirked and moved her hands down to Natsuki's waist, gripping tight and rocking their lower halves together. Both girls moaned loudly, Natsuki's eyes flying open, "It- fuck! It doesn't matter!" she yelled.

Shizuru chuckled at the woman's behavior and shook her head, "Oh, it matters." she said, slowly trailing her kisses down and moving her hands up, pulling up Natsuki's shirt bit by bit. Shee lowered herself and started kissing the woman's stomach. Natsuki gasped and held in another moan as breathing became harder and harder. "Why don't you like my friend?" she asked again.

Natsuki threw her head to the side and bit her lip, knowing that Haruka was in the room two doors down. Yes, she knew the walls her sound proof but she was getting ready to scream!

Still unhappy with not getting her answer, Shizuru gripped Natsuki's thighs and nibbled her toned abs. Natsuki moaned again and squeezed her eyes shut tight, "I-I know she was you're first." the bluenette confessed, her breath becoming labored.

"What?" Shizuru yelled, pulling back completely and sitting on top of her girlfriend, "Who told you? How? What? Ara... Rieto..." she muttered under her breath, glaring at the wall with such hate it made the fly laying there fly away. Poor thing..

Below the frustrated brunette was a (sexually) frustrated bluenette who was still trying to catch her breath. She looked up at Shizuru with a hard glare, "You're just gonna stop?" she demanded, gripping the sheets below her tightly.

"Ara, excuse me my Nat-su-ki-chan, but I must go kill my cousin..." she muttered, getting off the bed and turning away. Reito told Natsuki? When, why, how, where, and with how much detail? 'No wonder she was so rude... aww my little Natsuki-chan got jealous and lashed out because of my first girlfriend being here... I should reward her later after giving Reito a piece of my mind.' Shizuru thought sinisterly.

"Oh no you don't!" Natsuki yelled, grabbing the woman's arm and pulling her back to the bed, "You are going to finish what you started!" she said, pulling Shizuru down and locking lips with her lover.

Shizuru pulled away and looked towards the door, "Ara, Natsuki I have t-"

The bluenette cut her off with another kiss and pulled her closer, ignoring the woman's protests. Shizuru broke away again and shook her head, trying to keep good clear thoughts and control herself, "Natsuki, Haruka is waiting a-"

"And she can wait for you to make love to you're girlfriend." Natsuki interrupted with a glare and other kiss. She pulled Shizuru on top of her and held the woman close, not ready to let her go.

Shizuru smiled into the kiss and slowly started lifting her lover's shirt up again.

It was not an argument she wanted to win.

Forty-five minutes later, the two woman emerged from the room and parted ways. Natsuki went to the kitchen to make tea while Shizuru went further down the hall and went to Reito's room, stopping to knock on the door. Reito opened the door with a smile, saw the pure fury on Shizuru's face, then closed it. Pounding on the door, Shizuru tried to burn a hole through the wood with her glare, "Reito, open this door and explain to me why you told Natsuki about me and Haruka!"

"I was hung over!" Reito yelled back, locking the door and putting his back against it. "I didn't mean to! But I'm better now!"

"Bastard!" Shizuru yelled to him, slamming her fist against the door one more time before regaining her composure. She put on her usually smile and started walking down the hall again. Passing by Haruka's room, she saw that the door was open and that the blonde was no wear to be found. Her eyes widening, she quickly made her way all the way down stairs and went into the kitchen.

The air in the room was tense. Intensely tense. Haruka was sipping tea at the table and glaring at the bluenette, while Natsuki had her back turned to the blonde while she was making more tea.

Shizuru gulped and took a loud step into the room, making both women look directly at her. She froze and smiled at both of them, "Ara... I'm caught." she said, widening her smile and trying to ease the tension in the room.

"Why didn't you tell me she was your girlfriend?" Haruka asked quickly, hardening her glare at the bluenette.

"She doesn't need to tell you everything." Natsuki responded, once again turning her back and going back to the tea.

Haruka growled in her chest and gripped the table, trying to keep control of herself, "Don't try and pact innocent, Kuga."

"Ara... I believe Haruka means act."

"Shut up!" both Haruka and Natsuki screamed at her. Shizuru looked away innocently and took a step back. It was interesting. Together or not, Haruka was very protective of her throughout their friendship and kept her safe from perverted boys and cling girls. This could be fun to watch...

Natsuki and Haruka returned their glares to each other, both trying to out hate each other. Natsuki stepped closer to the table and crossed her arms over her chest, "She's not yours anymore."

"She will always be mine! She's my friend!"

"And she's my girlfriend, not yours. So back off."

"You could have just told me you were blowing out."

"Going out."

"Whatever! You didn't have to fuck her to make your point!"

Shizuru jumped in then, raising her hand and getting herself between them, "Actually Haruka, I was the one doing the fucking."

"'Zuru!" Natsuki yelled angrily, her entire flushing a bright red while she turned her glare to the brunette wasn't that something you kept secret?

Haruka blinked at the two woman. She could have sworn that Natsuki was the butch in this relationship. But she was blushing and looked like a kid that just got embarrassed... Letting a smirk rise to her face, Haruka stood from the table and looked to the bluenette, "I see. So Shizuru wears the pants in the relationship."

Glaring at both women, Natsuki blushed harder and turned her back to them, "Can't believe you told her that..." she muttered, the sentence directed at Shizuru. The Fujino rolled her eyes and came up behind the bluenette and wrapped her arms around the woman's waist, pulling her close and resting her head on her shoulder, "My Nat-su-ki-chan should give Haruka a chance at friendship. She's a good person." she said before kissing Natsuki's cheek and letting her go.

Sighing, Natsuki turned and glared at both women again. "No."

"Oh come on, Kuga," Haruka said. She moved forward and stood in front of Natsuki with an outstretched hand. She did not want to do this! Stupid bluenette pissed her off to no end. But either your on Shizuru Fujino's side or you're in hell on earth. The latter was not fun. "Let's be friends." She said with a real smile.

Natsuki looked from the hand to the blonde's face. Haruka looked like she actually wanted to be friends.. that or she just wanted to make Shizuru happy. Yes, diffidently the latter. "Bitch." she said simply, walking through the still outstretched hand and out of the kitchen.

Haruka stood in shock and clenched her hand into a shaking fist, "You delinquent! I'll bet you for this!" she creamed, mad that anyone would dare turn down her friendship. That woman was dead! Dead! Deader than dead, she was a zombie!

'...That was hot.' Shizuru thought as she wordlessly followed the bluenette.

Haruka growled again and followed them out, only to stop and hear the sound of baby crying. A baby…? "Shit, that's right! Mai went food shopping! I'll go get Kai!" Natsuki yelled. She sprinted up the stairs and disappeared down the hall, leaving Shizuru and Haruka alone.

The blonde gasp and glared at Shizuru, "You had a baby? Why didn't you yell me? Wait, is Kuga your baby momma?" she asked, looking up the stairs again. Okay, how many secrets were they keeping? Seriously?

"Shizuru!" Mikoto yelled as she ran into the room. She had tears running down her face and she clutched onto Shizuru's dress, crying into her clothes and holding her tight. "N-Nao wa-was mak-make fun of m-me!" she cried, clutching her tighter. She only came to the base of Shizuru's chest making her look like a child. Haruka gaped at her friend. Two kids... shit... They needed to start talking more.

Shizuru smiled down at the girl and started to pet her head. Mikoto looked up at Shizuru with tears shining in her eyes, making Shizuru sigh and chuckle a bit, "Mikoto, what did Yuuki-san say to you?"

"I only called her a shortie!" Nao yelled from her place near the door. The red head looked at Haruka, ran her eyes over her body, than scoffed. This made Haruka glare. "Who's the body builder?" she asked crudely.

"Nao, this is Haruka. Haruka, this is my first and second born with Natsuki, Nao and Mikoto." Shizuru replied, smiling at them. Nao raised her brows, but shrugged and went back outside to the back yard. She didn't care much as long as she wasn't fired. Shizuru smiled down at Mikoto again, "Honey, I'll talk to Nao and I'll bring you some ice cream later on tonight. Is that okay?" she asked.

"Yay! Ice cream! And a mommy!" Mikoto yelled happily, throwing her hands in the air due to her happiness. She hugged the brunette again before running out the doors again and yelling for Nao.

Haruka opened her mouth to comment, but voices were coming from upstairs. Natsuki appeared at the top of the stairs with little Kai in her arms, blowing air in his face and making him giggle. The bluenette held in high in the air while she went down the stairs, making him clap and giggle louder, "Look who's here! It's 'Zuru!" the bluenette said in a high baby voice, handing him off the Shizuru.

"Alright, is there anything else I need to know about?" Haruka yelled, glaring at everyone. Kai stopped and looked at her with his tiny golden eyes narrowed at her. All three woman watched as he lifted a small hand and reached for her. Shizuru slowly walked forward until she was right in front of the blonde. "Say hi to aunty Haruka." She whispered, bouncing Kai in her arms.

Natsuki smirked; she knew what was coming.

Haruka smiled at the baby and held out her finger at him, "Hi baby. What's you're ma-OW!" she yelled as Kai slapped her forehead. Natsuki bit her lip and chuckled, trying not to laugh. "What the hell?" the blonde yelled again, earning two more slaps.

The bluenette finally burst out laughing and went over to them, taking her son away from a giggling Shizuru and a fuming Haruka, "He doesn't like loud bitches." she said, grinning at her son and holding her hand up. Kai laughed gleefully and smacked her hand, laughing and clapping at his first high five. "Alright, let's get you in bed for you're afternoon nap." She whispered, sticking her tongue out at Haruka before making her way back upstairs.

Shizuru grinned as she watched her girlfriend until she disappeared again before turning to her friend, "Ara, I'm sure this is all coming as a surprise, yes?" she asked with a grin. Yes, she had just completely lied to her best friend about having children.. and it wasn't enough! "I'm sure my wife can take of Kai, our newest. Shall we sit and talk?"

"I can't believe you guys lied to me about everything all afternoon!" Haruka yelled as she ate her dinner. Yes, that afternoon Mai came back to meet a very confused Haruka and explained everything to the blonde, contradicting everything the two had told her before.

Hoping to make peace, Reito had offered to take Nao and Mikoto to see they're first movie. Of course he was quickly forgiven and left with the two girls. This left Mai, Kai, Haruka, Shizuru and Natsuki all alone to deal with each other.

Ok, back to dinner.

Natsuki smirked at the blonde and chuckled, "Yea, cause 'Zuru has a red head daughter that old!" she said mockingly. Both Shizuru and Mai reached around and smacked her upside the head, making the bluenette growl and hunch over. This time, Haruka laughed at her, only to get slapped again by Kai, "Come on, stupid baby! What'd I do?"

"You made fun of his Mom!" Natsuki said, smirking and giving Kai another high five. Haruka scoffed at them and picked up her empty plate, taking it to the sink.

DING DONG

"I'll get it!" Mai said quickly, still being used to being a maid and having to do everything around the house. Seriously, she did everything. Natsuki didn't help with house work...

Haruka stopped and grinned, "I'm already up, I got it." she said, walking to the door and leaving the kitchen.

Shizuru went around and got everyone else's plate, taking them too the sink too, "I wonder if that's Mikoto and Nao with Reito. I do owe Mikoto some ice cream..." she muttered to herself.

"They've only been gone what, six hours?" Natsuki asked, getting up and reaching for a bottle of wine. "Nao can probably get them into five movies, no sweat. They'll be back in a few hours, most likely." she said, heading back to the table with a new bottle of wine and a cork.

Haruka came back into the room then, a smirk on her face, "Kuga, Mai-san. Some is here for you. He says he's an old friend." she said, holding the door open.

Natsuki and Mai shared a confused look before getting up from the table and walking out into the living room.

"Hello, ladies."

"Tate?" Natsuki screamed, jumping in front of Mai in a protective manner. The busty woman's eyes widened with fear and she backed up against the wall, falling to her knees in emotional pain. Haruka stood there confused for a second; what was going on? "Bastard, what are you doing here? I thought you were in jail!"

"I have money, too! You pay bail and they'll let you go." Tate said, smirking with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing a long brown overcoat, which was weird since it was a warm night. He took a step closer to them and let his smirk widen, "I'm here to repay the favor you so noble gave me after kick me in the balls!" he yelled.

The man took his right hand out of his pocket, revealing a small black pistol.

Time seemed to slow as he pointed the gun at Natsuki, aimed, and fired.

Mai screamed, followed by the sound of a baby crying from the kitchen.

Haruka ran towards the man.

Natsuki fell to the floor with blood dripping from her sleeve.

Shizuru came from the kitchen in time to see Natsuki hit the ground, then screamed.

OMAKE
