Hello again, here's the next chappie! Enjoy and let me know what you think:)

The practiced tip-tapping of long slender fingers on hard plastic filled the almost empty student council room. The sun was just barely peeking up over the tree-line, illuminating the room more fully, reducing the influence of the bluish glow emanating from the laptop. Crimson eyes scanned the screen intently, searching for anything suspicious. Hmm, there must be an article here somewhere, things like that don't usually go unnoticed. She opened a link to a local newspaper and skimmed the articles that were reported on the day of the incident. Ara, that looks promising. Shizuru clicked on the small article entitled, 'Convicted Felons Found Unconscious' and began to read.

Friday morning, two of Fuuka's most violent criminals were found beaten and unconscious at the local Tatakaru Diner/ Gas Station located in downtown Fuuka. Kobayashi Izo and Tanaka Arashi, both having been convicted on several charges of assault and battery, aggravated sexual assault, and drug trafficking, were taken to the hospital and then reinstated in the Fuuka District Correctional Facility early Firday morning. Circumstances surrounding the beaten men are still unknown though the situation is currently being investigated by the Fuuka Police Force.

The damage found on one of the gas pumps and the positioning of the bodies indicate a physical altercation of some sort did take place but there were no eye witness accounts or security footage available for reference or questioning. At the scene of the incident, there were three different blood types, two of which belong to criminals listed above. The identity of the third person involved is unknown.

Police officials are urging the public to be aware because as Police chief Daisuke says "Anybody that could do that much damage to those men is highly trained and could potentially be very dangerous. Granted, that the person involved could have very likely been the victim that those two were not ready to meet."

Any information regarding the identity of the third party and the events that took place should be called into the Fuuka Police Force immediately, the number is listed below.

Shizuru clicked her tongue angrily, making a mental note to call the Fuuka Police Station later that day. Being a Fujino came with perks and making sure those men who hurt Natsuki stayed behind bars without alerting them to Natsuki's involvement was definitely one of them. She chuckled darkly, memorizing the number to call before taking a long sip of her morning cup of tea.

It was troubling that the 'thugs' Natsuki had mentioned to her were such violent criminals, but the fact the bluenette had taken care of both of them was no surprise. Very dangerous indeed, she thought to herself as she shut down the laptop and gathered her things. In more ways than one, shegrinned at the memory of Natsuki admitting that she liked her. Shizuru tried to calm the butterflies that suddenly assaulted her stomach as she recalled the intense look in her beloved's jade eyes and how close she had come to those alluring pink lips. Feeling the butterflies intensify she fixed a few loose chestnut strands before stepping out. Fujino Shizuru was not accustomed to the anxious feeling settling in her abdomen, but today was the first day she would see Natsuki after the younger girl's confession and who could blame her for feeling giddy. Beaming like a schoolgirl in love (cause that's what she is) she opened the door and set out to find her Natsuki.

The hallways slowly began to fill as the time for school to start inched closer. Monday's were never the liveliest of days so most girls were less animated than usual. Her fans greeted her shyly as Shizuru elegantly made her way through the throngs of people, eye's intently searching for her biker girl. She checked the time once more before scanning the crowd again, this time she was pleasantly surprised the see Natsuki stepping through the entrance. The girl's aviators were still on shielding the striking emeralds from Shizuru's gaze, but the younger girls face went from her usual scowl to a small smile when she turned Shizuru's direction. Her heartbeat grew increasingly louder with each step Natsuki took towards her.

"Hey Shizuru," the rebel said as she smoothly took off her sunglasses and hanging them on her sweatshirt. Shizuru gazed at the discoloration still visible on the bluenette's face, anger beginning to rise up once more. Seeing the dangerous look in Shizuru's eyes Natsuki knew she needed to act fast. "Whoa there, good to see you too." She said with a cheesy grin, hoping to divert Shizuru's attention from her still recovering bruises.

Shizuru tore her eyes from Natsuki's injuries to look at the younger girl questionably. "Ara, excuse me?" She asked, unsure of what Natsuki meant.

Natsuki's smile broadened. Finally, teasing revenge is mine! "Well the way you just looked at me, it was like you wanted to break out of the Fujino code of conduct and punch a wall or something." Shizuru eyes grew a fraction wider, but she still maintained her calm demeanor. "And to think, I was going to ask you out but with that look I might have to reconsider." Natsuki ended with a very self satisfied smirk.

Shizuru, face went from slightly confused to highly amused. It looks like my Natsuki forgot just who she is dealing with. "Natsuki ikezu!" She said dramatically, "Playing with my feelings like that." She put a little extra hurt into her voice and a quiver in her lip.

Shit! Wha- Natsuki panicked at the upset girl before her. "I didn't mean it! Hell, I would never back out of a date with you. I was just jo-" Her ramble was cut short by herds of Shizuru fans crowding the Kaichou.

"Kaichou-sama! Are you alright?"

"Do you need a tissue?"

"Here just use my shirt!"

Girls squealed and attempted to comfort their beloved student council president. Natsuki cursed as she felt herself get pushed farther and farther away from Shizuru. Still in a panic because she didn't get a chance to apologize fully she fought valiantly against the wave of people, but when she finally caught a glimpse of the older girl through the masses of obsessive fans her fears were instantly put at ease. The brunette was cornered by all of her hormonal followers and had absolutely no route of escape. Her gaze flickered to Shizuru's courteous mask and noted there was no evidence of tears or sadness as she politely declined all of their efforts to console her. Serves her right for playing that dirty trick again! Natsuki thought triumphantly as she climbed up onto one of the handrails near a flight of stairs making sure the surrounded brunette would see her. Emerald caught pleading crimson, but Natsuki playfully wagged her finger at the older girl, getting her message across. You did this to yourself. A pout leaked through Shizuru's mask for a split second and the sight caused Natsuki to chuckle lightly. She hopped off the rail almost taking out a couple girls in route, ignoring the impressed gasps coming from her own fan-club. Giving her group of staring girls one of her infamous Kuga Death glares she walked away to find her friends.

Spying them all standing near a drinking fountain she quickly made her way over. She smiled knowingly when she spied her teammate and her busty redheaded friends holding hands. Heh, at least one good thing happened at that dance. Mai had filled her in over the weekend of 'nursing'(as Mai called it) back to health. It basically consisted of Natsuki lying on the couch eating copious amounts of ramen and mayo while Mai talked about how she and Mikoto had become somewhat of an item and Natsuki occasionally offering small snippets of how she and Shizuru made up. Overall she knew every finite detail about Mai's budding relationship and Mai knew Natsuki wasn't mad at the Kaichou anymore. She saw Chie who was holding Aoi from behind, probably saying something perverted while Nao filed her nails absently.

"Morning Natuski, glad you made it on time." Mai said when she noticed Natsuki coming over.

"Yeah Kuga, when we woke you like three and a half minutes ago I wasn't sure you were gonna make it this time. But I guess it makes sense since you look like that." Nao jibed.

"Shut it spider." Natsuki retorted. "Three and a half minutes and I still look better than you." Nao growled and was about to respond but Mai beat her to it.

"We were just talking about the game coming up." Mai looked at Mikoto who smiled back at her.

"Oh yeah," Natsuki sighed. "I still have to get cleared by Nurse Bossy Pants to see if I can play."

"I think coach can convince her." Mikoto said reassuringly. "It's against Gardentrobe and that's a rival game."

"Yeah last year a girl broke her leg. Caught it on my phone, fifty thousand views thank you very much." Chie added excitedly.

Aoi smacked her lightly. "Not what we were going for."

The bell rang and the group slowly dissipated. But before Natuski was out of earshot Nao yelled "Enjoy class with your woman mutt!"

Natsuki's face burst into a deep blush and turned to yell something back but the redhead was already out of sight. Dammit, I'll get you later. She leisurely made her way to class, trying to avoid the inevitable revenge that she knew Shizuru would enact on her. It made her extremely nervous but kinda of excited as well. Damn weird emotions, eff it I'm going in.

There was a strange feeling of anti-climax when Natsuki entered the class to find that the brunette's desk empty. Weird, Shizuru always comes to class. She eyed the unoccupied seat warily as she trudged to her spot in the front row, bracing herself for a long and extremely boring hour of English. The class began, and Natsuki pulled out a notebook. No, not for taking notes, but for a rather impressive drawing of the teacher being hit repeatedly in the head with a jar of mayo. Violence plus mayo equals best doodle ever. Natsuki smirked to herself as she continued the middle of this artistic excursion the familiar scratch of the intercom sounded on the school sound system.

"Pardon the interruption but would Kuga Natuski please report to the student council office. Again, Kuga Natsuki to the student council office. Thank you and have good day." Charismatic Kyoto-ben filtered through the dated speakers. Natsuki slunk deeper into her seat. Aw hell…

"Kuga-san, it seems you are needed. Go ahead, just remember the homework." The sensei excused her to leave before continuing his lecture. Well at least I get out of class.

Natsuki plodded slowly in the direction of her inevitable doom. Has someone ever died from a blushing overload? She thought optimistically before knocking on the door in a quick staccato rhythm. "Come in." Came the familiar voice of her friend.

She opened the door and confidently strode into the room. It'll be worse if she knows that I'm nervous. Behind a large wooden desk in a very business-like chair sat Shizuru, hands clasped and resting on the desk. "Ara, hello Natsuki." The older girl smiled at Natsuki politely. The bluenette watched the girl behind the desk carefully, catching the mischievous gleam in her cherry eyes.

"H-hey." Natsuki stuttered. Damn it! The gleam seemed to magnify as Shizuru observed her nervous behavior.

"So, do you know why you are here my Natsuki?"

Natsuki shook her head, fidgeting with the sleeve of her white hoodie. A faint blush began creeping up her cheeks from Shizuru's claiming. Shizuru wanted so much to squeal, leap across the table, and embrace the younger girl for her cuteness, but she had other plans.

"Ara, well it is in regards to your habit of truancy and unruly behavior as of late." Shizuru eyed her meaningfully, obviously referring to the occurrence earlier that morning. Natsuki rubbed the back of her neck guiltily. "Hmm, I believe a punishment is in order is it not?" The Kaichou said in a sing-song voice as she grinned at Natsuki impishly.

All color seemed to drain from Natsuki's face. Oh shitdamn. Please god let her be merciful. She thought as she played out numerous embarrassing scenarios Shizuru could put her in. "Uh, no I don't think so. Maybe I could get like a warning or something?" She asked, emeralds orbs begging for mercy.

Shizuru chuckled. "I don't believe so, Natsuki has been quite naughty lately." Natsuki swore Shizuru's voice dropped in to a seductive murmur as she uttered the word 'naughty'.

"Perhaps I should have Natsuki stand in the hallway holding a sign saying 'I am a very very naughty girl.'" Shizuru proposed suggestively. Natsuki's bright red blush started to spread to her neck as she processed the meaning of Shizuru's words. Then she cringed as she imagined herself being mauled by her fan-girls because of the sign. She looked at Shizuru incredulously, a mixture of terror and embarrassment playing across her features.

Ara, that must be the biggest one yet. Shizuru thought as she appraised Natsuki's flushed face. But I can do better. She put a finger on her chin, making it look as if she was deep in thought. "Or I could have her clean the cafeteria, I know there is a rather fetching French maid uniform here somewhere." Shizuru suggested, pretending to get up from her seat to find the attire. Natsuki's went from red to purple almost instantly.

"Shi-Shizuru!" Natsuki yelled rushing rushed forward to reach across the desk. She took Shizuru by the wrists, prohibiting her from moving to find the damned uniform. "There is no way in hell I am wearing one of those frilly dress things." She glared at Shizuru defiantly, blush slowly fading. "Not going to happen ever."

Shizuru looked at Natsuki disappointedly. "Ara, but Nasuki would look so cute in-" Natsuki released one of her wrists only to cover her mouth. Her blush reigniting when she saw nothing but honesty in Shizuru's eyes. Shizuru's actually thought about that? Oh gawd…

"Nope, not a snowball's chance in hell." Natsuki answered in what she hoped was an intimidating way. In truth, it was kinda of hard to be tough when you're blushing like crazy in front of a totally gorgeous girl and your thoughts kept going places they should not be.

Shizuru pursed her lips, giving Natsuki a light kiss on the palm of her hand. "Eeep!" Natsuki yelped as she rapidly removed her hand and backed away from the Kyoto born.

"Ara, what a girlish noise Natsuki made just now." Shizuru teased.

"Yeah well-" Natsuki huffed trying to explain her behavior. "You just- my hand… Gah! You did that!" She crossed her arms heatedly.

"Did what exactly?" Shizuru asked as she stepped out from behind to desk.

"You just kis- You know what you did!" Natsuki answered frantically, putting as much distance between herself and Shizuru as possible.

"I'm not sure what exactly Natsuki means? Could she show me?" Sultry Kyoto-ben resonated through the room. Crimson eye's dancing with mischief and something a little darker.

Eff! I gotta get out of here! Natsuki felt her back press against the cold wooden door. Her modesty and common sense was saying to get the hell outta there, but a smaller more adventurous part of her wanted to see what would happen if she stayed. Maybe I don't need to leave. Deciding on her course of action she stopped backpedaling and smirked at the incoming girl.

"Well I could," she paused watching the surprise on Shizuru's face. "But it comes with a price." She started to take part in Shizuru's game.

"Ara? And what would that be?" Shizuru crept closer, hips swaying dramatically.

"Well, maybe it could take care of a certain punishment." Natsuki husked, eyeing Shizuru's movements unaware of the desire surfacing in her jade pools.

"You think so?" Shizuru practically purred as her arms encircled Natsuki neck, bodies so close but not yet touching.

Natsuki smiled wickedly before grabbing Shizuru roughly by the hips and reversing their positions. She pressed the brunette firmly against the door, her body flush against the older girls. "Yeah, I kinda do." She spoke throatily into Shizuru's ear.

Shizuru had to suppress a grasp as Natsuki's athletic body pushed up on her own. Her temperature spiked when she heard Natsuki's words and felt her tantalizing breath on her already overheating skin. God Natsuki. One hand threaded through smooth midnight strands while the other clutched her shirt collar, bringing the younger girl even closer.

Natsuki's face was hot, the feeling of Shizuru's voluptuous breasts against her own was mind-blowing, even through their clothes. She felt a soft hand entwine itself her hair and pull her in. "Natsuki," Shizuru breathed, the name hardly audible. Natsuki turned towards the sound.

Shizuru looked at swirling emeralds before her gazed dipped to the oh so tempting lips of the younger girl. She licked her own lips, wetting them in anticipation. She angled her head slightly and started to move forward slowly, giving Natsuki enough time to pull away. When the bluenette's eye's fluttered shut, Shizuru allowed her to also and they finally met.

It was chaste, brief, only a timid brushing of supple lips really, but it sent sparks down both girls' spines. Electricity coursed through them simultaneously, enveloping their whole being.

Shizuru's hunger and love for the younger girl reared up once again but this time it was increased more than ten-fold. It captured her heart and soul. She needed Natsuki. She needed to hear the adorable noises she would make, to feel her delectably perfect body, for Natsuki to be hers and only hers, to love her completely. She felt the all encompassing flames of want and desire licking at her insides. This kiss did not quench her need for Natsuki, it magnified it.

Natsuki had never felt something like this before. The love and concern Shizuru had shown for her in the infirmary was wonderful but this was different. It was still love, but there was something more. It made her heart race and her hands all tingly. It was something intense and fierce. Something she desperately needed more of. Something addictive.

Shizuru pressed her lips more firmly onto Natsuki's, and Natsuki responded in with a low groan. It was delicate and tender at first, but as they grew more comfortable it became something more. They soon released their hold and looked into each other's eyes, panting heavily. Shizuru smiled at Natsuki sensuously before swooping in and capturing the bluenette's lips again. They meshed, played, and devoured each other. But it was only on lips and it left them both aching for more. Natsuki gripped Shizuru harder, trying to get her need across.

Gawd… Natsuki thought as Shizuru bit down on her lower lip playfully. Her eyes rolled back in her head as she felt something hot and wet slide across the place where she was just bitten. Is that her-

'Knock, knock, knock.'

Both girls jumped away from each other, Natsuki banging her leg against the desk, Shizuru hitting the wall rather hard.

"Damn" Natsuki growled rubbing her tender appendage.

"Yes?" The normally calm and serene voice of the Kaichou sounded flustered and a bit breathless.

"Bubuzuke are you coming to class sometime today?" Haruka asked, annoyed at the presidents lack of responsibility.

"Ara, yes I'll be there in a moment." Shizuru answered, this time masking her discomfort. "You go on, I will catch up."

"Okay," Yukino said through the door.

Shizuru sighed in relief when she heard them walk away. She glanced at Natsuki, the girls face still tomato red. "Kannin na Natsuki, but it seems we have run out of time."

"Pft-" Natsuki puffed in annoyance. "Stupid loudspeaker."

Shizuru gazed at Natsuki adoringly. "Natsuki ought to get to class lest she be punished again." She chided as she walked past Natsuki, making sure to rub up against the girl's arm as she departed. Shizuru looked over her shoulder for a brief moment to see her rightfully earned blush. She was almost out the door when she heard Natsuki say "Is that a promise?"

A slight pink twinge manifested on Shizuru's own cheeks before she quickly made her way down the hall.

Natsuki almost skipped (almost because she thought about it and skipping was definitely not bad ass and she would therefore not do it) on her way back from the nurse's office, bringing glad tidings of great joy. She was cleared for the game tomorrow! Best friggin' day of ever. Kiss from Shizuru, playing in the soccer game. Oh and did I mention kissing Shizuru! She thought as she made her way to the locker room. She walked inside and spotted her friends.

"Hey guys," she said as she 'trotted' over to her locker.

"Uh hi." Chie said, looking at her like she was some kind of alien.

"Hey Nat," Mai chimed with a knowing smile.

Nao looked up from tying her shoes as scrunched her eyebrows together disbelievingly. "Ok Kuga, what's up?"

"What do you mean?" Natsuki asked while putting on her practice clothes.

"You're acting weird." Chie said as Natsuki glared at her. Chie put up her hands defensively. "What? It's the truth."

"Yeah mutt, why are you so- uh smiley?" Nao looked at Natsuki skeptically. "It's really creeping me out."

Natsuki scoffed. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Mai came up to her with a big smile on her face. "You might not but I bet I do."

Natsuki eye's almost bugged out of her head. She looked at her perceptive friend nervously. "Mai…" She threatened.

"Tell us!" Chie jumped in front of Mai exictedly. Mai leaned in and whispered something into the dark-haired girl's ear. Chie's face went from curious to confused to grinning evilly and Natsuki. "Natsuki and Kaichou sitting in a tree-" she began to sing.

"Chie if you sing that song I swear-" Natsuki growled.

Nao caught on and sang the next part. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Natsuki lunged at her but Nao narrowly dodged the attack. The redhead took off around the many lockers with Natsuki at her heels.

"First comes love!" Chie shouted, gaining Natsuki's attention once more.

"Then comes marriage!" Nao added.

"Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" They both yelled enthusiastically.

"You both are so dead!" Natsuki bellowed.

Natsuki sat on the field, stretching her tight muscles. Practice had been a beast today, Midori pushed them hard so they would be ready for their first game. Her teammates were scattered around as Midori stood in front of them, talking strategy but Natsuki's mind was elsewhere. Are me and Shizuru together? She thought as touched her toes easily. We haven't even gone on a real date yet. Her face scrunched together as she tried to process what had happened that day. Well we've kissed so I guess the logical thing to do would be go out or something. But I can't just take her out to town. That would be against the protection plan Mashiro came up with. And if I screw up again she'll take away my Ducati. She shivered at the thought of losing her precious motorcycle. Maybe if I was in a group it'd be ok. And I could wear my aviators to hide my face. It's not like any of those idiots pose a real threat anyways. "Kuga!" Midori's yelling shook her from her thoughts.

"Uh yeah?" She answered playing off her lack of attention.

"You're cleared to play right?" Midori looked at her expectantly.

"Yup." Natsuki said with a cocky smile as her teammates started to cheer.

"Good, you and Minagi are our starting forwards tomorrow. Make sure you're bandaged up good, this game tends to get out of hand."

Natsuki high fived Mikoto before turning to the coach "Sure, sure, I'll go see your bossy nurse girlfriend. But it's the other team I think you should be worrying about."

"Yeah they don't have a chance!" Ishiko yelled with gusto. The rest of the team stood up and cheered loudly in agreement.

"Alright, you guys can go. See you tomorrow." Midori said before looking smugly at Natsuki. "And I'm telling Youko you said she was bossy."

"No! She'll unleash the stingy ointment crap!" Natsuki placed a hand protectively over her healing stitches.

"Too bad Kuga. Now get out of here." Midor ruffled Natsuki's hair while Natsuki slapped her hand away.

"Oi! Damn weirdo old coach." Natsuki grumbled as she walked away from the practice field.

"Hey I'm not old, I'm seventeen!" Midori called after her.

Nasuki chuckled as she rounded the corner of the bleachers. She was about to go in when a sudden movement in the dark corner beneath the stands caught her eye. What the hell… Natsuki balled her first before venturing closer to the movement. A flash of green leaped at her but Natsuki was much faster. She caught the attacker's wrist and twisted it behind her back. The person struggled but Natsuki held her firm. "Don't touch me you miscreant." Hissed the perpetrator.

Natsuki sniggered when she realized who exactly was in her hold. "Tomoe." She said icily, pulling the girls arm further behind her back. "What do you think you are doing?" Noticing the small shiv that had dropped to the ground during the tussle, she pressed the green haired girl into the bleachers.

"I told you to stay away from Shizuru-sama." Tomoe growled, trying to free herself.

"Ok now I want you to listen really well." Natsuki said in a deadly calm voice. She twisted the girl's arm even further, causing Tomoe to grunt. "I could break your arm in seconds. It would be easy. Like snapping a piece of Pocky." Coldness seemed to emanate from Natsuki, her fighting instincts kicking in. She wanted so badly to show Tomoe just who she was messing with but then the image of Shizuru popped into her head. Shizuru had asked her not to do anything violent so she reluctantly loosed her grip and pushed Tomoe away. "Remember that. Next time I won't be so forgiving. And there is no way in hell I'm staying away from Shizuru." She left Tomoe there shaking with pure and unadulterated hatred. Shrugging it off, she dusted off her shorts and walked into the locker room like nothing had happened.

In a familiar bar located downtown Fuuka, Mr. John Smith was in a very heated telephone conversation. "How was I supposed to know she was freakin' fighting expert!" He yelled into the device. "You left that last bit of information out of your last call!"

The refined voice of Sergay Wang came from the other end. "I thought you capable of handling a mere teenage girl." He said condescendingly. "Obviously, I put my faith in the wrong people."

"No, we just didn't know what we were dealing with!" He shouted into the line. "I can handle it!"

"Really? Because that first attempt seems to say otherwise."

"No, this time it will work. It's a more direct approach but it is almost full-proof."

"I should hope so. Remember what I asked about discretion. I don't need any of your people storming in there on murderous rampage." Wang countered, thoroughly annoyed with the ineptitude of the man he was speaking with.

John Smith laughed sinisterly. "Don't worry about that, Natsuki-chan will be having a very unfortunate accident soon."

This caused a twisted smile to grace Wang's features. "Excellent, it would not be good if I had to come to Japan and deal with this personally." He said, the threat of punishment for failure evident behind his polished words.

"Got it." John Smith growled before hanging up. He stalked to the shadowy back of the bar and stopped at a dimly lit table. "Are you all set?" He asked the occupant.

"Mostly, it's now a matter of time."

"Perfect."

Yup so that's it for this one. Reviews are awesome and so is Shiznat! Oh and srry i didn't have the time to answer the reviews personally this time:/ It's been a little crazy around here... Anyways thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
