She is my Master!
Chapter 14
"Natsuki... in a butler outfit?" Chie blinked.
"It was SOOOOO hot. Hold on, I have a picture," Mai fiddled with her phone then brought up the image.
The stylish, androginous image appeared on the screen. The black outfit with it's severe lines actually kind of suited Natsuki, with her serious expression. Aoi, also looking, whistled softly.
"Hey," Chie scolded her.
"We gotta get YOU a suit, Chie," Aoi added warmly.
"Oh," Chie blushed a bit.
"Heh," Mai smiled. Her friends were so cute together at times...
"Could I get that picture?" Chie askewd after a moment.
"Hmm?" Mai frowned questioningly.
"Might want to order that myself," Chie admitted.
"I guess," Mai agreed, sending the image to her phone just before the first bell went.
"We'd better get to class," Aoi noted as the three rushed off.
Up the hall, Takeda cursed as his chance to try to talk to Mai literally hurried away.

Shizuru smiled warmly, "Good morning, class!"
"Good morning Miss Fujino!" everyone chorused back.
Shizuru was wearing a dressy suit with a mid-leg skirt, but like most of her clothes it was reasonably tight. Still, it was both comfortable and within school policies. She kind of wished she could get away with a shorter skirt tho.
Natsuki looked at her, blushed a bit then looked away. It was adorable, really.
"All right, has everyone finished their assignments?" Shizuru asked cheerfully.
At least one student paled.
Shizuru bit back a grin, "Yuki! Please stand up and read your essay."
Yuki looked extremely sheepish. "I... didn't finish it, ma'am," she sighed.
"You'll have to make up for it then," Shizuru nodded. "Anyone else unfinished, please raise your hands."
Shizuru made a note of everyone. She was also mildly surprised to see Natsuki had finished it. Then again, Natsuki WAS reasonably smart.
"Everyone who did finish in time will get an automatic pass on the paper," Shizuru declaired. "Everyone else, finish by next class, and take your chances on my grading."
There was a chorus of groans, but good natured ones.
"Okay, open your texts to..." Shizuru continued.
Once the class ended, Natsuki went up to Shizuru's desk. "Mai sent your lunch with me," Natsuki explained as she put the box on Shizuru's desk.
Shizuru blinked, then realized she had rushed out this morning without it. "Thank you!" she smiled at her.
Natsuki blushed again, "It's fine. Didn't want to waste the food."
"Want to join me for lunch later?" Shizuru purred.
"Ah..," Natsuki started.
"Please? I hate eating alone," she added.
Natsuki sighed but nodded, "Oh, all right."
Shizuru met Natsuki later, and they walked the halls together. "Natsuki... did you do something unusual today?" she had to ask, noticing students looking at Natsuki. Mostly girls, annoyingly.
"No! I don't know why, either," Natsuki scowled.
"Huh," Shizuru walked with Natsuki, then noticed a student whom she was friendly with. "Yukino!" she waved the girl over.
"Yes Miss Fujino?" Yukino asked, the brown haired girl with glasses smiling slightly.
"Did something happen with Natsuki today?" Shizuru asked bluntly.
Yukino looked at Natsuki in surprise, "You don't know about the picture?" She took out her phone, unlocking it.
"Picture?" Natsuki had to ask.
"I think you look very dashing," Yukino showed them the butler pick.
"What." Natsuki blinked.
"It's all over school by now," Yukino added.
"Oh dear," Shizuru muttered.
"MAI...," Natsuki growled.

Standing in the hall, also on her way to get some lunch, Mai sneezed.
"Someone's talking about you?" Takeda teased, the young man looking a bit embarrassed at having flagged her down.
"That's just a myth," Mai waved it off. She continued, "So, why did you chase me down? It's not because of Tate is it?"
"No, no," Takeda said quickly. He paused, "Well, sort of."
Mai snorted, "That's clear."
"It's complicated," Takeda admitted, and explained about replacing Tate, finding a candidate and that person's request.
"You offered to introduce me to her?" Mai blinked.
"I didn't really think it through," Takeda admitted sheepishly.
"Oh hell no," Mai decided.
"Please! Be a sport," Takeda plead.
Mai gave him a withering look.
"I'll pay for whatever you want for lunch," Takeda offered. He added, "You could take a day off from cooking?"
"Dinner," Mai countered, "for two. And a nice place, not a ramen stand..."
"Agreed," Takeda quickly gave in.
"I'm also only meeting her and talking to her," Mai also cautioned, "if it goes bad, I'm leaving."
Takeda nodded, "That's totally fair."
Mai puffed out a sigh. "Okay," she said, "let's go see her."
Mikoto was waiting at the cafeteria, the young woman sitting at one of the tables. She looked up as Takeda and Mai entered, and burst into a huge smile.
'Ah hell,' Mai thought, 'she's cute.'
"Miss Mai, hello," Mikoto smiled warmly.
"Mikoto Minagi, meet Mai Tokhia," Takeda introduced them, then quickly retreated to another table nearby.
"Nice to meet you, Mikoto," Mai smiled.
"You're very pretty," Mikoto smiled at Mai sunnily as she added, "and WOW do you have really nice breasts!"
Mai blushed faintly.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that," Mikoto also blushed.
"Well, it's a compliment," Mai noted mildly.
The two young women spent lunch hour talking. Mikoto was sweet, if a bit blunt, and Mai found her entertaining. And, as noted, she was kind of cute too. Mikoto seemed similarly interested, and hung on every word Mai said.
Once they finished eating Mikoto smiled shyly, "Could we do this again, Mai? I think I like you."
Mai nodded, "Yeah, I think so. Maybe we could do dinner?"
"I'd like that," Mikoto smiled back. "Uhm... could I grab your breasts?"
Mai frowned, "Not on the first date.."
Mikoto winked, "Later then?"
"You are a weird woman. But we'll see," Mai chuckled.
To be continued...
Notes: It's HARD writing Mikoto with trying to on one hand her Mai Hime version (who's obsessed with Mai's boobs) while ALSO trying to have her be normal. Sorta...
