She is my Master!

Interlude

The mysterious pervert who got poor Natsuki and Mai booted from their dorm looked up at the high wall surrounding the Fujino home worriedly. "Well damn," Yuuichi Tate muttered, scratching his light brown hair.

You see, the young man hadn't INTENDED to get the two girls booted from their home a few weeks ago. In fact, he admired both girls immensely. Well, by admired he meant lusted after, but eh. I mean, just LOOK at Mai: she was seriously built. And Natsuki, with that long hair, legs to die for and a sexy, dangerous gaze...

One of Yuuichi 's fave fantasies involved Natsuki, a dominatrix outfit and being stepped on. But that was another thing...

Anyway, that fateful night, Yuuichi had just been out for a evening's walk. All perfectly innocent. YES he ended up in a tree with a camera with zoom lens, but that was because he wanted to bird watch. He had no intention at ALL of pointing the camera through a nearby dorm window and take photos of nearly naked women.

How was he to know Natsuki was armed?

It was probably a replica pistol, but the bullets or whatever whizzing by Yuuichi 's ears had him running for his life. He didn't climb down, he fell, then scrambled to his feet and booked it down the street. His only good luck was that there was so much of a uproar over the gun going off that no one went after him immediately.

For the next few weeks he had laid low, just thankful that he hadn't been caught. But eventually he had wondered what had happened with Natsuki and Mai. Asking around discretely led him to Chie Harada, the mistress of school gossip.

"So," Chie smiled, the boyish young woman meeting him in the cafeteria as she asked, "what did you want to know?"

Yuuichi shifted a bit uncomfortably in his seat under her knowing gaze. "You know Mai Tokhia, right?" he asked.

"We know each other," Chie replied ambiguously, "why?"

"I was worried," Yuuichi lied, "I heard she got kicked out of her dorm, I just wanted to make sure she was okay."

The look Chie gave him indicated she didn't entirely buy it, but she carried on anyway. "She's fine," she told him, "in fact, she and Natsuki are staying with Miss Fujino."

"Fujino...," Yuuichi blinked a second, "Shizuru Fujino? Her?"

Chie snickered softly. "She's cool," she said, shaking her head.

"Well, yeah but...," Yuuichi started, then decided it'd be a BAD idea to push it. "Anyway, thanks." he said as he got up.

Which brought him back here, looking at a very high wall around the Fujino property. There was no way he was gonna climb over it, that was for certain. Instead he tried to make it look casual as he circled the property looking for access. Over on one side, a tree leaned against the wall, and he could probably climb it...

"This is a REALLY bad idea," Yuuichi muttered, but started climbing anyway.

Dropping down onto the grass, Yuuichi grunted softly. Staying crouched down he hurried over to some ornamental shrubs as he took in the attractive mansion. "Wow," he breathed out as he looked over the two story, big house.

Cautiously he crept forward, trying to guess where the bedrooms were. Hopefully not up on the second floor, because there was no way in hell he was climbing up THAT.

Shizuru Fujino frowned as her cellphone beeped.

"What's wrong?" Mai asked as she was clearing the plates from dinner. Unlike Natsuki she kind of enjoyed all the maid cosplay, and was still dressed in a low cut maid's uniform, with a mini skirt and thigh high stockings.

"Just a message I need to deal with," Shizuru smiled, getting up from the table. "Excuse me," she said.

"See you later," Natsuki sighed, also getting up to help.

As Shizuru moved away, she paused just a moment to enjoy the view. This time Natsuki was in a outfit that looked like a traditional maid's outfit. But the cloth making up the skirt and blouse was semi-transparent, and when the light hit it just right, it provided tantalizing hints of sexy features.

Shaking herself, Shizuru headed into her security room. The chime from her phone had indicated that someone was on the property. She sat down and brought up the cameras, quickly scanning until she found the intruder.

"Well, well," Shizuru murmured as she zoomed in on the boy's face and saved the image.

Tate Yuuichi was NOT one of Shizuru's favourite people, especially after she caught him ogling her breasts a few days ago. Talking to other teachers confirmed her low opinion of the boy, and she asked around about why no one disciplined him. Apparently being on several sports teams had insulated him from punishment...

Yuuichi inched across the property, blissfully unaware he was being watched. Worse, he was actually pretty pitiful at hiding. Did he seriously think crouching down behind a shrub was going to keep him out of sight? It was like some kitten that shoved itself into a paper bad, thinking it was hidden with it's butt sticking out.

Deciding he had gotten near enough to the house, Shizuru casually triggered the external alarm.

Yuuichi LITERALLY jumped a good foot, then looked around wildly before running back to the outer wall. In a move that almost looked like parkour, he bounced himself off the wall, grabbing hold of the branch and pulling himself up the tree.

Then, amusingly, he fell out of the tree and onto the sidewalk outside. "Wonder if I should check to see if he's hurt?" Shizuru started, then saw him get up. Bleeding but unbowed, the young man fled up the street.

With a self satisfied smile Shizuru printed up photos of the boy, as well as saving the night's events to her computer. She rather suspected that the information would come in handy.

"You look happy," Mai noted, smiling as Shizuru went into the kitchen for a drink.

"I think I've solved a problem I had," Shizuru admitted after she poured herself some iced tea. She frowned as she noticed Mai cleaning the kitchen, "You don't need to do that immediately, you know. I know you and Natsuki need study time too."

Mai looked amused, "Trust me, if I don't clean this up you do not want to see the kind of mess that would develop. And I promise I'm being a good girl."

"Oh really?" Shizuru teased.

"Well, good-ish," Mai winked back.

Shizuru laughed at that. "Well, keep up the good work," she said warmly.

Yuuichi was anxious that night, running into the morning. Had someone seen him? Were they going to call the cops? Was he in serious trouble? But no police appeared, no phone calls disturbed his parents, and in the end he headed for school. Classes were as usual, but whatever good feelings he had went away after he was summoned to the guidance councillor's office.

'Oh crap, oh crap,' Yuuichi thought desperately as he knocked.

"Come in," Midori called, and Yuuichi felt a bit of relief.

'Maybe it's not...,' Yuuichi thought optimistically as he opened the door and went in, but whatever hope he had instantly crashed and burned.

There was Miss Midori, Shizuru AND the Principal herself, Mrs Graceburt. NONE of the woman looked pleased, though Shizuru, interestingly enough, had the most neutral expression. It was as if she didn't REALLY care what happened, exactly.

"Mr Tate," Mrs Graceburt sighed, "thank you for joining us."

"Uhm, what can I do for you?" Yuuichi asked, trying to play innocent.

Midori sighed tiredly, "Don't start, Tate." She looked at him directly, "Were you on Miss Fujino's property last night?"

"No," Yuuichi lied.

Shizuru dropped a photo on the desk of Yuuichi crouching in her shrubs. "I think I caught your good side," she drawled.

Yuuichi winced visibly while the other teachers looked annoyed. Mrs Graceburt looked at Shizuru, "While this is... distressing, Mr Tate here is quite active in school sports and..."

"Is that why he got away with this before?" Shizuru asked archly.

Midori frowned, "He was counselled before, we thought..."

Shizuru sighed. "May we speak privately?" she addressed the two teachers.

Mrs Graceburt looked at Shizuru then nodded slightly. "Yuuichi wait out in the hall, please," she ordered.

Yuuichi but he could hear a bit of the conversation. Enough to realize he was in deep, DEEP trouble.
