Thank you all for your kind reviews. I really, really appreciate it. I know I'm not regularly updating, but I promise you that I always try my best to finish every chapter as early as possible to share it to you guys. Plus, I'm still new when it comes to writing stories, so I am always stucked with how to put my imagination in words inorder for you visualize what I want you to. Sometimes, there isn't even a single sentence my mind can come up with. Yup, mental block. You know how it is if you encounter this. Whatever I do to write a scene in the story, no words or scenarios would flow out of my mind whenever I have mental block. And to juggle it up with medschool, it would be a miracle if I can come up with a chapter after a month. But everytime I read your reviews, even if I already read it a couple of times, it always gives me a surge of something that made me eager to think of something different to add in my story. Don't worry guys, I won't abandon my stories, I just need time for me to construct it to make it at least acceptable as a story.

So! enough of my tirades and I give this chapter. I hope you will have fun reading this. Enjoy!

Warning: There is mature content in here so read in your own risk okay? XDDD

Chapter 6

Being Drawn To You

Ding, dong!

"Hey, Natsuki! What's wrong with you? You've been dazed for the last 3 hours." Natsuki snapped out of her daydream and saw 3 pairs of eyes looking at her expectantly, the one with the fiery-red hair in the center leaning more to look closer.

Natsuki rapidly think of excuses to be free from their questioning gaze but the look given by her friend with purple eyes - a promise of torturous teasing and questioning look - made her think otherwise. So, with the sigh and downcast eyes together with a matching blush, "I'm thinking of someone." She directly said.

It's like an explosion for the three girls in front of the blunette when they heard what Natsuki said. Too shocked to say anything, they just gawked at the embarrassed Natsuki like she had grown out another head. With the silence reigning between the three, you can literally hear a needle drop, if there will be any. One minute... Five minutes... Ten minutes...

Not taking the silence anymore, Natsuki slammed both of her palms on her desk, startling her three friends. "Would you guys cut that out? You guys look so stupid!" She yelled hiding her embarrassment behind her glare and feigned anger.

"So-sorry, Natsuki. It's just... Just we're surprised...T-that's all." The one with eyeglasses stuttered, gulping the lump formed in her throat when she saw Natsuki's glare.

"Surprised?! This is absolutely astounding! This is a miracle! Fucking shit! I never thought that you are capable of being interested in someone, mutt! Well, not in the sense that you want to beat the crap out of them." The red- haired girl, with eyes similar to her but with a lighter shade, exclaimed while grinning like a chesire cat.

The blunette glared at her and looked around, worried that someone might hear what the red- haired girl just said, or more or less, shouted. "Geez spider, do you want me to give you a microphone so that the whole school will know?" Natsuki asked sarcasm dripping on her voice and with a lace of promised pain which made the other girl flinched.

It's a good thing that they are the only ones in the room. Natsuki doesn't really like it when someone hears what she and her friends are talking about, whatever it is. She is a very private person. Growing up in such a high-class household, with maids and bodyguards surrounding her everyday, you really can't expect that Natsuki will turn out to be a complete lone wolf.

Being the only daughter of the Saeko Kruger, Chairman and owner of Kruger Enterprise, she always gets whatever she wanted. But there is something, hidden in the deep confines of her heart and brain; there is something that she is looking for. She didn't know what it is but it is something she is yearning for. Like a major piece of her is lost or lacking. But, once she will know and finds it, she will she will never let it go. Ever.

The one called spider just chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly."Sorry, I just can't believe it. Ooooh, this is so rich, I can't believe you're inlove." She teased but turned into frowning, confused, when Natsuki frowned also confused.

"Who told you I'm inlove?"

The three gape at her."B-but you said that you can't stop thinking of someone." The fiery-haired girl reasoned with a bit of uncertainty."That's a first you know. And plus you're blushing like a tomato when you told us." Crossing her hands over her ample chest as she finished what she is saying.

"Mai, I just met the person yesterday. I can't be inlove that fast...right?" Natsuki asked with a bit of hope in her voice that she is indeed not inlove.

The thought of being in love terrified the shit out of her. She have never experienced being in love in her whole life, but as to what she had observed to individuals claiming that they are inlove which in the end broke up or didn't work out, lead to their doom. Like they can't go on with their life.

That's what happened to her cousin and best friend, Akane, who was cheated by her boyfriend with another girl. Yes, she was the one who ended the relationship. But because she is still so inlove with Kazuya, she wanted to try again with him. Natsuki was there to convince her otherwise. She never really liked Kazuya for her cousin. But Akane is determined to try to work things out. However, all of those flew out of the window when she saw him kissing another girl. But that's not what really broke her down. When she confronted him about all that, what he said is what really stabbed her through the heart.

'I don't love you. I never had, so stop bugging me.'

Natsuki witnessed it all. The next day, Akane was found dead in her room.

Natsuki never entertained the concept of love. She believed that this will only make a person weak. She doesn't want to be like her cousin. Even her mother, who always host social parties and is always covered with richness and glamour, was not spared with that kind of heartache.

When her father died from car accident together with his mistress, Saeko Kruger, chairman and owner of Kruger Corp. turns into a wreck. She became an alcoholic - far from what she is at present -, like she's wasting her life away. Therefore, at a young age of 15, because she is the only legit heir to the company, she worked her butts out to learn the ins and outs of the company in place of her mother who's still unable for the moment. For just a short time, she became independent, handling all the Kuga Corp's business dealings while still in school and taking care of her mother. These went on for months. Then one day, while she's in front of her mother, who is drinking and is clearly drunk, she told her with resolve.

"I will never ever love someone and become like you."

Good thing after several months, maybe her mother realized that that kind of man is not worth ruining her life with. So she got back on her feet, returned to the company and made Natsuki return to school as any normal schoolgirl would. But since then, Natsuki closed off her heart from everyone and became cold as ice towards others, especially to the guys. Those who tried pursuing her just ended up in the hospital. That's why no one dared to go after her anymore.

Then an image of a certain chesnut-haired guy, smirking, flashed in her mind making her blush again and made her heart beat like crazy.

"Arrrrgh! I can't get him of my mind!" Natsuki yelled while clutching her head, frustrated.

"What!" The three shouted. It's already unbelievable that Natsuki is interested in someone, and to a GUY for crying out loud! The man-hater falls inlove in a guy in just one day. 'This is surely the end of the world.' All three of them thought.

It's already eight in the evening when he returned home. He even missed the first day of class in his third year and busied himself in work, when he is not supposed to be working, just to forget what happened. Of course his boss delightfully let him. Who would've denied free labour?

The moment he stepped into his room, his mind flashed the event that happened yesterday which made him so out of it today.

Flashback

"Kuga-san! Are you alright? Your foot-" He wasn't able to finish his sentence because before he could even reach the blunette, she suddenly turns around, pulled the back his neck and without any warning, slammed his lips unto her own.

Red eyes widens from the action. The softness of the lips seemed awfully familiar. 'When have I ever kissed lips that gave me this kind of feeling?'

He felt shots of electricity running down his spine spreading throughout his whole body. He felt the soft lips uncertainly move. Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around the blunette's waist and responds to the kissed.

Guiding the obviously inexperienced mouth attached to his, Shizuru starts to nip each lip which gradually made Natsuki's kiss more straightforwardly. The feeling of those lips on his feels like no other. 'I can just drown myself in this softness.'

Curious, Shizuru lick the bottom lip of the blunette to pry it open which was granted not a second after. Then he wasted no time to drive his tongue into the warm crevice and explore it from every nook and cranny of the said opening provoking her tongue into a dance which made the blunette to let out a dragged moan. Her taste is so distinct, he savoured nothingn but at the same time so good, like he can't get enough of it. Coupled it with its warmth and softness, it certainly drives him insane making him produce a low groan at the back of his throat.

While still in the midst of their liplock, Shizuru tightens his embrace pushing his hardened member – which is a result of their earlier and current activity - against the woman's stomach for a bit of relief, eliciting a whimper from her. Then, he slowly pushed Natsuki to head towards the bed without breaking the kiss at the same time as wandering his right hand at the blunette's left side creeping inside her clothes.

As soon as he felt her skin on his palm, a feel of intense softness reached his senses. Never had he touched a skin this smooth, like silk. This made him moaned out an appreciation in the middle of their tongue battle. This action made Natsuki tighten her hold around the guy's neck in an attempt to deepen and increase the pressure of their heated kiss and also to stabilize her stance as she walked backwards towards the bed.

Not allowing to break from each other's mouths, they are like breathing each other's air. His right hand running up and down the soft skin of her flat stomach until it reached up to her breast. Then not a second after, Shizuru gently squeeze it making Natsuki gasp, breaking their long fervent kiss. But his lips instead attached to the creamy neck exposed to him as she tilted her head back panting heavily. Her hot-sounding moan filled out the room, making Shizuru more out of control, not thinking anymore and aiming only at attaining pleasure. They were now on fire that if not stopped, they can burn the whole room down.

All of that extreme passion would have been continued or would've gotten somewhere if not for the rolled rug on the floor which caught Shizuru's foot and caused them to topple down. Shizuru landing on top of Natsuki. And that served as an ice cold bucket of water that washes the fire away and brings his awareness back. Too shaken with what just happened plus a surge of something he recognized that would be too dangerous for him, to be known to others, he immediately stood up and pulled away from panting Natsuki, who is confused as of the moment, and ran straight out the door, leaving behind the blunette who's still breathing heavily but still hadn't moved an inch from shock.

He ran out of the corridor, out of the motel. Never looking back. Very scared of what he is feeling right now.

He hurriedly hailed a cab, entered it and shouted. "Drive!" The driver of the cab hurriedly obeys his command. Just then he realized that he is out of breath and he could feel a stinging sensation on his chest.

'Oh no! It's happening. This shouldn't be happening, it' not the time yet!' So he leaned against the backrest of the passenger's chair, grasping his clothe chest with his two hands as he gulped several lungful of air, calming himself down. He doesn't even remember telling the driver where to go or if he paid him the fare. Next thing he know, he is in his usual place everytime it happens.

End of flashback

"Aaaahhhh! I don't even know what is wrong with me." He told himself in a somewhat frustrated but calm tone, as he leaned on the closed door of his room. He can't stop thinking about the blunette with green orbs. There is something in her that keeps pulling him in, making him drawn to her. "Why do I feel this new things for you, Kuga, Natsuki? Why am I always thinking of you? What are you to me?" Then he let out tired sigh.

A smile of pure fondness appeared on his handsome face as he recalled the adorable facial expressions he elicited from the blunette on the time that they were together yesterday. "She's really cute."

She let out a chuckled as he starts walking toward his bed across the room while also taking of his jacket and tight fit pants leaving him with white muscle shirt and white boxers. Then, he reached something from inside his muscle shirt and out came an end of a long white cloth. By pulling it around his torso several times, he finally reached the other end of it and completely removes the said cloth.

"This shouldn't have happened. Why now?" He thoughtfully gazed at the cloth on his hand before enclosing it in his fist as he walked towards his bed. He has to sleep now to go to school tomorrow or else he will have the whole day listening to Haruka's scolding. And to think that he is the president! He let out another soft chuckle.

All would've been normal as he walks slowly, if not on the presence of two big bulges on his chest and the absence of much smaller of it below his waist before he flopped down on his bed when he reached it.

Shizuru heave a sigh as he thought, 'Tomorrow will be another long day.' And that was his last thought as he succumbed into his exhaustion and went to sleep.
