Chapter 1: I've been waiting
Natsuki typed on her laptop in her business class seat on the plane to Japan from the U.S. She has been unable to rest since she was writing an important report for her company KUGA corp. Natsuki is actually only 17 and has been attending boarding school for 3 years in the U.S. away from her country, but now she's returning to finish her last year of school there, and to be closer to company issues. Despite being a high school student she runs a company on the side, with help of course, but she is still the heir to the company and CEO as soon as she graduates. Her parents died when she was 14 and she was left with many responsibilities since. Heck, she's even engaged. And that is why she's happy to go home; to the few people she loves. She hasn't seen her fiancée in 3 years, only phone calls, e-mails and letters kept them in touch. She has a few pictures but nothing is like seeing and talking in the flesh. Natsuki has been engaged to her parent's choice since she was 7. She finished the report and shut off her laptop. She started playing her PSP since she was too excited to sleep. One name was on her mind: Fujino Shizuru.
Shizuru got up and ready in the morning. Today was the first day of the second term of school. Usually she doesn't care too much, but she was especially excited today because of the new transfer student. Shizuru's parents got her engaged when she was 8 to this person. Unfortunately her fiancée had been studying abroad for the past 3 years and they only ever communicated over the phone, e-mails or letters. Seeing the person after so long was a different story. Shizuru was 18 and student council president of Fuuka Academy. The school was a prestigious one filled mostly of spoiled rich kids. She was among the rich, but not spoiled. She was the heir to FuJino Company. Her fiancée is the heir to KUGA corps, their marriage results in a huge benefit of both companies joining which would make them economically dominating as one. Her father and her fiancée's were good friends and decided to get their kids married for the business. Her father died when she was 11, but her mother is still there for her. She's loved by many people but her fiancée was the only person other than her mother who knew the real her. She wanted to look best for the new transfer student, her fiancée Kuga Natsuki.
Shizuru was making some tea in her dorm room before she had to go to her first class that day. Natsuki wouldn't be arriving until lunch time since Shizuru knew her flight was late arriving and Natsuki was a deep sleeper. They both knew a lot of each other since they were to be married, but also because they felt they had someone they could tell ANYTHING to. It was nice. Her phone rang and she picked it up as she sipped some tea.
"Hello mother" she happily chimed in the phone.
"Good morning Shizuru-chan, I see you are happy today."
Shizuru blushed a rare blush that no one could witness.
"You know very well as to why that is..."
"Is that so? Haha, anyways just calling to remind you I would like you and Natsuki to come over for dinner at the house tonight if possible."
"Ara, that sounds great mom. We shall come around 6 or so."
"Good to hear. Don't hog her all to yourself; you have the rest of your life for that!"
They both laughed at the motherly joke.
"So, I take it she doesn't know that you both are sharing a dorm room?"
"Ara, I plan on surprising her. I can't wait for her reaction."
"That's my strategic daughter! Anyways I have to go to work now hun so have a great day and I'll see you tonight with your little pup."
Shizuru hung up the phone and finished her tea. 'My pup, huh?'
Later Shizuru sneakily made her way to the student council room to avoid her fangirls. She sat at her desk and sighed. She was really happy. She decided to send a message to her teachers telling them she had many Kaichou duties to attend to. This excuse always gave her time to skip class. Yes, she abused her power. She setup her laptop and then checked her e-mails. As predicted there was one from Natsuki.
Hey Shizuru,
Sorry I got to keep this letter short because I have to pack soon, yes you know me the procrastinator... hehe anyways I'm really excited to go back home and I think I'm ready to go see my old house later this week. It's scary to go there without having my parents there. I would love it if you came with me though, I could use the support. I can't use stupid internet on the plane so you don't need to reply because I'll be seeing you soon. Actually to be honest, I can't wait to see you and don't tease me about that! I made sure to pack some mayonnaise since plane food really sucks, and before you say it's unhealthy...I bet you're drinking tea right now as you read this so HAH! You have an addiction too ;p I'll see you soon
Love,
Natsuki
P.S. what did you mean in my last letter that i am too violent? it was totally the other idiot's fault for trying to make a god damn little girl cry. he deserved all the punches, i don't think that one or two was enough...i would have gladly hit him some more since i was ina bad mood. the girl was cute too...
That e-mail just made Shizuru's day. She actually did happen to be drinking tea. And she also couldn't wait to see Natsuki. The last time she saw her was the year her parents died when she was 14 and Shizuru 15. Natsuki was in a huge depression and it brought the two closer since Shizuru had a shared experience of losing her father. Natsuki then left to school in America which her father had studied in and they haven't seen each other since. Shizuru had that small romantic side that made her feel like a romantic with the long distance relationship.
The door opened and Haruka, Yukino and Reito entered. Shizuru's closest school friends and her fellow senior council. Reito was the vice president, Haruka the executive director and Yukino the secretary treasurer. They all came in and sat in their respective seats.
"Ara, you all seem tired, some tea?"
"Shizuru, you bubuzuke women, the first day of a new term and all you do is drink tea!"
Despites Haruka's insult of the tea, she took a cup followed by Yukino and Reito. They four all skipped class to 'do important council work' and instead reminisced their holidays. The four had spent many nights out together partying during the winter break. The last they saw each other was New Year's party at Reito's family home.
"So, Shizuru, you are vey happy today..." Reito gave her a knowing grin.
Yukino and Haruka both caught on and smiled at her. They all remember Shizuru mentioning to them that Natsuki was coming today.
They all knew her of course through family businesses, but also because she would hang out with them a lot before she went to the states. She would occasionally keep in touch with them since of course no where near as much as she communicated with Shizuru.
They all giggled (even Reito) like gossiping school girls on a crush and skipped all their classes to drink tea (well Shizuru did anyways) and talk or play games. As it approached to lunch time they all sat anxiously in the student council room.
"Shizuru, how did Natsuki-san say she was coming to the council room?"
"No Yukino, but I'm assuming this is where she'll come"
Just then a knock was heard on the council door. The three friends stared at Shizuru.
Shizuru simply said "she wouldn't knock..." the friends nodded in understanding and Haruka said rather loudly "come in!"
In entered a green haired girl who they all recognized as the Shizuru stalker. Tomoe seemed a little obsessed with the Kaichou and it was creepy. She was proclaimed president of Shizuru's fan club.
"K-Kaichou-sama! I brought some letters for you from the headmistress to be reviewed." She blushed a little while she talked.
Shizuru stood up from her desk and walked to where Tomoe had entered the room in the centre. She took the outstretched letters and said "Thank you Tomoe-san."
Natsuki drove on her motorcycle shipped from the states to her new school. She had a taxi follow her with her luggage as she used her GPS to guide her. They made it to the academy and Natsuki parked her motorcycle where she saw other cars parked. All nice ones since the school had rich kids. She had the only motorcycle, and to her it was the sexiest vehicle there. Her blue Ducati kicked ass. She paid the taxi driver and thanked him. She took her large suitcases to the front of the school where she met a man who took said he'd take her luggage to her assigned dorm. She thanked him and went to the front office. She glanced at her reflection when she walked by a window. She hoped she looked god enough to impress her girlfriend/fiancée. Natsuki was wearing the Fuuka Academy High school skirt with socks and trendy flats. She had discarded wearing the white blouse and opted for a white hooded shirt instead. To her it looked better and was more comfortable. She dawned the school blazer over her shoulder holding it on her fingertips. Her backpack was slung over her one shoulder and she had her bike keys and helmet in the other hand. She walked with her usual pace and followed the directions to the student council room where she was sure Shizuru would be. She smiled at the thought 'this is it Kuga'
She saw the door labelled "STUDENT COUNCIL QUARTERS" she rolled her eyes and instead of knocking she just opened the door.
"Thank you Tomoe-san" said that lovely Kyoto accent for Natsuki to hear. As soon as she looked up she made contact with those crimson eyes he remembered so well.
Shizuru looked up when she heard the door open and she kept contact with the gorgeous emerald eyes that presented themselves.
It's been a while...
