Hey there, here is the next chappie:)
The cold wind stung the eyes of the small group of people as they waited to board the plane. The sky was overcast and the air was frigid as the small group entered the small aircraft. Towards the front of the line was a squirrely medium sized man dressed in a very expensive tailored suit. His fair hair and cruel amber eye's made him stand out in any crowd. "Damn… waiting to board a plane is so tiresome. Once Kuga Industries is mine I simply must invest in my own private jet." He muttered to no one in particular.
The vibration of his sleek latest generation cell phone turned his attention away from the incompetence of the airway workers to the inevitable incompetence of others elsewhere. Without checking the identity of the caller he snapped into the device. "Wang here,"
"Er… Hello Mr. Wang." The gruff voice of John Smith echoed through the receiver.
"Ah, the ever ineffectual Mr. Smith." Wang hissed into the phone. "No need to tell me of your latest failure. I've already been informed of that fiasco."
John Smith choked on his reply. "Uhm well yeah about that…"
"There is no need Mr. Smith. I don't need your explanations or excuses. I'm already boarding a plane to Japan, these matters will be handled personally from now on. Don't worry I won't forget your role in these past events." Wang said menacingly.
John felt his whole body go cold. "Uh…" He couldn't formulate a response to the subtle threat behind Wang's words. While still on the phone he began to pack up his essential items so he could get the heck out of there.
"I'll be seeing you very soon Mr. Smith." Wang ended the conversation as the flight attendant finally opened the doors to the plane. There were so many things were definitely needed to be taken care of once he returned to Japan.
Natsuki smiled at the gorgeous girl across the table from her. Said girl was wrapped up in a rather intense conversation with Mai about healthy eating habits or cuticle care or something girly like that. Damn she's beautiful. She watched as crimson eyes gleamed with amusement as Mai told a story about Mikoto. Those smooth perfectly pink lips curved into a cheery grin showing just a glimpse of pearly white teeth. Natsuki admired her girlfriend before those red orbs flicked in her direction. Fighting against the blush at being caught she threw a quick wink at the older girl, causing those eye's she loved to widen in surprise. Satisfied with that reaction Natsuki turned her attention to the delicious mayo sandwich and curly fries that littered her plate.
"So mutt…" Nao began right as Natsuki took a massive bite of the white gooey concoction. "You got the new killer zombie game right? I bet I can kick your ass."
Natsuki gulped down the deliciousness before answering. "Ha, like that'd ever happen. I'd kill you and you know it." She answered confidently, smirking at her friend.
"Whatever this game has so much more to it than the last one it…" Nao's voice drowned out as Natsuki found herself very distracted by a sensation on her left leg. What the hell? She tried to look under the table nonchalantly but couldn't get a good view of what was happening. The bluenette discreetly looked around the table to find the culprit. It wasn't too long before she found playful rubies staring back at her. "Shizuru" she growled more to herself than anyone else.
"What'd you say Kuga?" Nao asked eyeing Natsuki suspiciously.
"Err… I uh." Natsuki fumbled for words due to the fact that the sensation had not stopped. It had actually amplified. She scowled at Shizuru before turned to Nao. Smile all you want Shizuru I'm not going down without a fight. "I said it doesn't matter the components of the game I'm still gonna beat your ass." She added the curse because she knew it irked the Kyoto born.
"Fine then, we'll see later then. Consider yourself challenged you arrogant mutt." Nao answered Natsuki's insult.
"Challenge accepted." Natsuki reply applied to both Nao's video game throw down and Shizuru's game. Nao turned to tell Chie how disgusted she was with their incessant need to hug and Mai jumped to their defense saying something about love never needing to be hidden. As they were all talking Natsuki stealthily slipped her own shoe off and brought it up to brush against Shizuru's prodding foot. Take that you teasing devil woman!
Natsuki smirked at the slightly startled look the Kaichou sent her but it was soon covered up by an entirely different face. Nooo! You baka Natsuki you know better than to awaken the teasing beast! She mentally chastised herself. The soft feeling of Shizuru's foot slid up past her own and worked its way up her leg until it started to gently caress her upper thigh. Natsuki could feel the blood rush to her head but she couldn't reach down to stop the appendage without drawing everyone's attention. Oh gawd does she know what she's doing? Natsuki looked at the self satisfied smile gracing the older girl's features. Of course she does, this is Shizuru we are talking about. Just as Natsuki thought she couldn't take it anymore the lunch bell rang which caused Shizuru to release her from the sweet torture.
Everyone stood up at began to go their separate ways. "I'm serious mutt, tonight I'm going to show you who the true master of zombie killing is." Nao shouted as she headed down one of the halls.
"In your dreams!" Natsuki shouted back, finally regaining her composure. She looked towards the source of her discomfort and scowled. "You're evil. You know that right?"
Shizuru's melodious laughter caused a smile to overtake her scowl. "Ara, well Natsuki does seem to bring out my naughty side." The Kyoto-ben teased before wrapping her arm around Natsuki's.
The younger girls face flushed at the remark. "Shi-Shizuru!" She shouted, smacking her face with her palm.
"Oh my, I thought I'd have to wait a little longer before I head Natsuki screaming my name with such passion." Shizuru answered quickly.
This caused Natsuki's face to turn purple. "Dammit Shizuru!" Natsuki tried to pull away from the brunette but Shizuru kept her arm firmly in place.
"Kannin na my Natsuki, you know I just can't resist that adorable blush." Shizuru apologized, giving a swift kiss on her reddened cheek.
"Hell babe, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Natsuki responded as they made their way to class.
Shizuru turned toward the younger girl with a pink twinge crawling up her skin. "Ara, what did you just say my Natsuki?"
"Uh you're gonna give me a heart attack?" Natsuki looked at Shizuru curiously.
"No, the other part."
Natsuki looked away bashfully. "Uh I just um- well you know how you called me love the other night? I've kinda been thinkin of one for you and that one just slipped out." The bluenette explained, her gaze still rooted to the ground. When Shizuru didn't answer she started to panic. "I won't call you it if you don't like it. I just thought-"
She was interrupted by Shizuru grabbing her chin and giving her a chaste kiss. "I love it." She whispered once they had parted.
"Good." Natsuki answered as they continued down the hall only to be met by one of Natsuki's least favorite people.
"You really should leave Shizuru-onee-sama alone. If you don't you're going to regret it." Tomoe warned while giving Natsuki a completely disgusted look.
Shizuru felt her love's muscles tense and knew nothing good would come from this confrontation. "Now Tomoe-san, we've already established that I quite enjoy Natsuki's company so it's not a problem. Please get to class the tardy bell is going to ring soon I'm sure." She tried to diffuse the situation while ensuring Tomoe knew exactly where she stood. The green haired girl stormed down the hall muttering something about Shizuru being corrupted by that maggot. She clenched her teeth, trying to quench her overprotective nature. We've got much bigger issues that Tomoe Margeurite. She glanced at the slightly shorter girl next to her who was still watching Tomoe walk away. Shizuru squeezed the youger girls toned arm soothingly and soon they were back to waking to class. They fell into a comfortable silence as they neared their classroom. "Natsuki," Shizuru called out to her softly.
"Yeah?" The other girl turned to face her showing off the breathtaking emerald eyes.
"I had an idea that might help our situation but I'm not sure you'll like it." Shizuru stated, steeling her resolve.
"What is it?" Natsuki asked gruffly. She began shuffling her feet uncomfortably.
"Well, can we talk about it after school? It's pretty important and I don't think we'll have time to really discuss it before we have to go to class." Shizuru answered simply.
"Uh -ok. I guess I'll come to the student council room after practice." Natsuki said, trying to hide her confusion. She's not sure I'll like it? What could it be? We already have Mashiro setting up extra patrols, protocols, and curfews. And I'm not doing anything stupid. What else is there?
"Thank you love, now we should really get to class." Shizuru said with but a teasing lilt had crept into her voice. "After you," she said as she opened the door for the younger girl.
Natsuki's blushed at the action. "Um, alright thanks." She said as she walked into the class. The last thing she expected was Shizuru giving her ass a firm squeeze.
"Eeep" came the girlish response. Needless to say, the whole class was very startled when they 'Ice Queen' made that noise coming into class.
Shizuru could barely conceal her amusement throughout the class. The frequent death glares she was receiving from her love only added to her merriment. It did wonders to distract her mind from the idea was going to pitch to the younger girl. But once classes were over and she was without the distraction of Natsuki her worries started to settle in. Natsuki loves me, she won't break up with me about an idea. And it's bound to happen sometime. I want to be with Natsuki for life and this is a necessary step. I'm just speeding it up a bit. She stood up from her leather business chair and began to prepare some tea. Shizuru hummed to herself as she went about making her favorite beverage. The tune was soft and comforting. She was so enraptured by the song and the tea that she failed to notice the blunette sneaking through the door. She remained unaware until she felt the strong arms of her girlfriend around her. "Teasing devil woman." The husky voice of voice of her most precious person vibrated against her neck. "You've been pretty mean to me today."
"Ara, and why does Natsuki say that?" She asked as she leaned back into the comforting embrace.
"Well, there was the teasing." She placed a light kiss on Shizuru's pulse point. "And dropping the bomb of your idea on me without actually telling me what it is." She kissed the spot again. "And grabbing my ass as I was walking into class is definitely on the list."
Shizuru turned in Natsuki's hold so she was now facing the younger girl. Natsuki kept her arms on Shizuru's lithe waist while Shizuru snaked her arms around Natsuki's neck. "Well, I didn't think we'd have enough time to discuss the idea properly. And for the rest I Natsuki can forgive me I didn't mean to mistreat Natsuki so."
Natsuki leaned in and pecked Shizuru on the nose. "Well you better make up to me. And you can start me filling me in." She wriggled out of Shizuru's grasp and plopped onto the large wooden desk. I have a feeling that this is a pretty important convo and I can't really think with Shizuru's arms around me. The bluenette looked at the Kaichou expectantly. "Well?"
Shizuru retrieved some of the tea she had been making and sat in the chair at the head of the table. She took a long sip before she made eye contact with Natsuki. "I was thinking of a way I could help with the situation. After you told me everything I haven't been able to get it out of my mind." She began, gauging the younger girl's reaction. When Natsuki just nodded she continued. "I know that there are some things I could do because of my status but, that is limited because I don't have full access to my parents assets."
Natsuki cocked her head to the side trying to process where this was going. "Okay?"
"Ara, I feel like if my parents were somehow involved with what is happening there could be so much more done for you and our protection." Shizuru noticed how tense the younger girl had become.
"What are you saying Shizuru?" Natsuki had an idea of where this was going. And Shizuru was right, she didn't like it.
"I think you should meet my parents." She said calmly and firmly.
"What? Shizuru that's crazy!" Natsuki started to pace. "It's too soon! What if they don't like me? What if they don't think I can provide for you?" The younger girl started to pace around the room.
Shizuru was too shocked to answer. Natsuki wasn't scared to take their relationship to that level, she was scared of her parents reactions. This dashed all of Shizuru's doubts and she grinned widely at Natsuki who was now wearing a hole in the floor because of her pacing.
Natsuki turned to her and raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "Why are you smiling?"
"Nastuki's just too cute!" She jumped out of her chair and hugged the girl tightly.
"Wha?" Natsuki was beyond confused but returned the hug anyways.
"Nastuki," Shizuru finally stopped her hugging onslaught to clarify with the girl. "My parents will love you. And you are the heir to Kuga Industries, if you can't provide for me who can?"
"Oh, right." Natsuki started to calm down before looking at Shizuru in a panic. "But I'm a girl!"
This really made Shizuru giggle uncontrollably. "Why yes you are." Shizuru whispered in Natsuki's ear. "And a very cute one at that."
"You know what I mean!" Natsuki said her voice steadily escalating.
"Ara, ara, it's alright. Natsuki my parents may taught me to be the perfect lady and to never let others know what I was truly thinking but they have known I was a lesbian since I was twelve."
Natsuki looked at comforting cheery eyes. "So they're okay with it?"
"Of course. And they'll love you. They may be corporate and political leaders but deep down they're good people." Shizuru answered kindly. "Where do you think I learned to tease?
"Oh god. There are more of you?" Natsuki looked horrified at the thought.
"You'll just have to wait and see." Shizuru answered mischievously.
"I'm going to blush to death. It's inevitable." She covered her face in her hands picturing her head exploding due to the overflow of blood.
"So Natsuki doesn't want to meet my parents?" Shizuru sniffled. She looked like she would break out into tears at any moment.
"No! I would love to meet your parents." Natsuki said, trying to comfort the older girl.
"Good, because they are coming for dinner tonight." Shizuru added as she untangled herself from Natsuki and dashed gracefully (if anybody could dash gracefully it would be Shizuru) out the door.
"Evil! You are evil!"
Well that's it for this one. Sorry, not much action in this one but Wang is on his way. Meet the parents time! Woo! Let me know what you think:)
