I am finally back after some vacation.

Sayaka did not even greet the 'other woman', she simply glared at her daughter, she was so upset about the news. She finally understood why Natsuki would not be a part with Shizuru's life, she hurt her so much, she did not realize she was selfish to beg her to stay… if she knew everything, she would not make that mistake… unfortunately, it was too late.

"Mother… I…" The red-eyed judge tried to plea. She could not imagine she had somebody else than Natsuki, it was impossible for her to be unfaithful to the love of her life, nevertheless, before, she was a different person… she could not swear that she was not sharing a bond with that stranger… she tried to remember but it was useless. She shook her head and closed her eyes, it was too much information for her brain, it hurt so much. Sayaka ran to her daughter and pushed the other person who stepped back in time or she could fall or hurt herself against the wall.

"Shizuru are you in pain? Do you want I call the doctor?" The mother noticed the pallor and the shivering hands. She held and squeezed them.

"I am fine, but please… go to see Natsuki… if I could get up from that bed, I will go after, but I can't… I feel so weak… I need to know if she is fine even if I am the one who hurt her."

"I know I will see her later, now, I will take care of you."

"Mother, I am fine, please."

"Mother?" The green-head woman repeated, she turned to the elder and politely bowed.

"It is such a pleasure to meet you, mother." Sayaka was unfazed, she did not look at her interlocutor. She already hated her, how could she interfere to that conversation? And to the previous one? She did not know her place, and it was not here. Such a bother… it was so complicated… normally, it was her daughter-in-law to be there!

"Madam, I don't know who you are or why you are here, and more importantly, now." Sayaka angrily spat.

"I am Tomoe Marguerite. Shizuru's girlfriend. I was worried about her and-"

"I did not ask about your identity, I don't really care. I am not your mother, I already have two daughters, it's Shizuru and Natsuki. It's better you behave with me, I don't want to provoke a scandal because my daughter is sick, but if the circumstances were different, I won't be so nice with you. I will probably drag you and your hair from the hospital. Leave now or I call the security guard."

"Mother, I will talk with that person, go see Natsuki. I am begging you." Sayaka sighed when her daughter intervened. She could not fight against her daughter, she was so stubborn, also, Sayaka was very worried about Natsuki too. Was it a good idea to let those two women together? Shizuru was not a child anymore even if she behaved like one. She stood up and said:

"I will be back soon, and we will talk about this." Shizuru agreed, her current life was a mess, she needed to clean everything before it was too late. Sayaka left without looking Tomoe who rolled her eyes.

"She totally dislikes me."

"I think she was more upset with me than you. And I understand why, I was … I am a real bitch. So, we had an affair?" Tomoe smirked at the bluntness, she sat next to Shizuru, on her bed and took her hand and tried to kiss her again. Shizuru turned her head.

"Yes, and it was so explosive and intense. A lot of fireworks, more than your ex-wife, you complain a lot about that, the lack of fire and love." Marguerite winked. The judge frowned, it was so weird that she could easily have an affair when she was so in love with Natsuki… and her unique condition made her cold and suspicious against other people. So, this woman probably noticed her male part? Well, certainly if they had sex… and she did not mind? She needed to learn more even if Viola already know what she will do next, it was obvious.

"Since when we had our affair?"

"You don't remember love?" Shizuru cringed to the sweet nickname. She was not used to having someone other than her ex-wife to call her this way, it made her ill-at-ease and guilty. She dared to snap at her best friend with Takeda and she was worse…

"No, I don't, that's why I ask you."

"Five months ago." The chestnut-haired beauty tried to recall that moment, nothing appeared to her memories. She wanted to hit her head against the wall, everything was burry somewhere in her brain. She needed to discover all the truth even if it was horrible. She had to repair all her past mistakes.

"How did we meet?"

"In a bar, you were sad and angry about your work and wife, we talk a lot and after we go to a hotel and we spend all night having sex, and the next days too." Shizuru wanted to puke, firstly, because just imagining having sex with that woman make her sick and secondly, her treatment was so strong for her stomach. Fortunately, there was a bowl near her. After she finished, she lay on her bed. She remarked her 'lover' winced, yes, she was not sexy anymore. But it was not the reason of the winkles on her forehead. Marguerite was directly touching her penis.

"Do you only love women?"

"Yes." Tomoe firmly added.

"You never been with a man?"

"Of course not, they are so disgusting." Shizuru smirked, even if she did not remember a lot of stuff, she was not stupid.

"So, you never had sex with one of them?"

"Of course not! Why would I? I am only loving a woman like you. Beautiful, with long hair and bright eyes. Slender and sexy."

"Well, I don't know why you lie, if we really had sex together, I am sorry to tell you, but you had sex with a man." Tomoe frowned and laughed.

"You are the liar Shizuru. I can't believe your poor joke." The named grabbed Tomoe's hand and put on her penis.

"Are you sure?" Marguerite paled and removed her hand.

"What is that?"

"A penis. Are you sure you never touch or see one?" Tomoe stood up, she could almost faint.

"It's a trap, you did not forget, right? You want to push me again?" Shizuru could be an excellent lawyer…or actress if she wanted. Little fun would be great.

"No, I am just telling you the truth for once… my dark secret… in fact… I am a man… I think I am pretty with long hair, is not it? Since I am a child, I love to wear women's clothes, they are so cute. Also, I am so much prettier than other women and you. Also, they are not real breasts, but they look like so real? They were so expensive, but I am proud of them." Shizuru squealed when she touched her breast. Tomoe stopped playing along, she was worried.

"You lied, I know you are a woman, everybody knows. You are a famous judge."

"No, they don't, I have a lot of power and money, I can do a lot of stuff if I want. My real name is not Shizuru but Zurushi, if I have a name, I am a travesty. I am a male with the hobby to get dressed as a woman. I am attracted to women, so I am not gay. My wife realized what kind of person I was, that's why she wanted to divorce me and not because I was cheating on her with you. She said I was a freak and I deceived her because she wanted to be with a woman. But I met you Tomoe, you accept who I am. I am so happy you don't care I am a man, also, I won't make surgery, I like my penis. I am still a man and proud of it."

"You are a man?"

"Yes darling. But you don't care, come to kiss me."

"Don't touch me or call me you pervert!" Tomoe growled and ran away. Shizuru laughed and tears escaped from her eyes. She recollected why Natsuki believed she cheated on her, she kissed that woman to hurt her when she discovered about her brain tumor, it was her or somebody else. She even called her to witness that fake kiss and when she went to the hotel, but she left after without having sex with that liar. What a horrible woman she was…
