A/N:

This should be an interesting fic. It is completely AU and some of the characters may be OOC. I don't believe in OOC, but for the sake of an argument, I'll just leave it at that ;) As always folks, reading and reviewing is encouraged and appreciated!

Be warned, anything goes! Enjoy!

I don't own Mai Hime/Otome.

Chapter 1:

Natsuki smiled, as she stomped through the forest. She was just coming home from today's hunt and she was quite pleased with herself. She was by far the Hime tribe's best huntress, and although she wasn't much for competition, she did enjoy knowing she was the best. Natsuki had just dropped her spoils off to Mai, the tribe's head cook. She could already feel her tummy growl. She couldn't wait for the feast.

But what could she do to occupy her time until then?

Natsuki looked around and saw she was near the hot springs. The springs was a great place to do one of two things. Get clean or get dirty. Natsuki grinned, making her way to the water. She looked around for any of her usual "friends". No such luck.

But what was this?

Natsuki noticed a much smaller auburn headed girl in the spring. She casually walked over to where the girl was sitting with her eyes closed. In one swift motion Natsuki was in the water beside the girl.

"Hello Yukino." Natsuki's said slowly.

Yukino, startled, turned to look at Natsuki. Natsuki, like most of her tribe members, was almost twice the size of a normal human villager. She towed over Yukino.

"Nat-Natsuki..." Yukino shivered, as she felt Natsuki's strong arms encircle her.

Natsuki wasted no time in pulling the much smaller girl onto her lap. She reached up and began to circle Yukino's breasts with her fingertips. Yukino's body stiffened, but she said nothing.

"Where's your master?" Natsuki hissed into Yukino's ear.

"H-Haruka-chan will be here...soon..." Yukino trailed off as Natsuki's hand traveled downwards.

"Good. Then I will wait." Natsuki smirked, leaning in to roughly kiss the back of Yukino's neck.

Poor Yukino. She was powerless against Natsuki's advances. Yukino was a villager who had lived with the Hime tribe for almost two years. Haruka had found the poor malnourished girl during a stop to one of the villages, and had asked Queen Midori if she could bring her back with them. Midori had agreed, but on two conditions. The first was she must prove useful to the tribe. The second was she was Haruka's responsibility. It was up to Haruka to look out for her, as Midori could not hold anyone else accountable if something should happen.

In Natsuki's eyes Yukino was a second class citizen. A slave. She didn't understand how Midori could let this girl stay, when they needed to focus on their own people.

Natsuki moved her hands down Yukino's abdomen and between her legs. She slowly parted them, meeting no resistance from the smaller girl. Yukino was trembling, as she tried to stay calm. She knew it was pointless to resist, as Natsuki was bigger and stronger than her.

"Shhhhh." Natsuki whispered, turning Yukino around to face her.

Yukino avoided Natsuki's gaze. Natsuki pulled the girl closer so she could watch her face. The blue haired huntress licked her lips, as she thrust her hand between Yukino's parted legs. Yukino gasped as Natsuki's thin fingers entered her.

"Thwack!"

Natsuki suddenly let go of Yukino.

"Keep your paws to yourself." growled a voice from behind.

Yukino looked up to the voice and silently rejoiced. Haruka had arrived.

"Owww." Natsuki said, rubbing her head, as she looked at the large stick in Haruka's hand. "Relax. I was just playing."

"Don't play with Yukino ever again." Haruka said, as she protectively wrapped her arms around the smaller girl.

Natsuki knew she had hit a sore spot and decided to keep on going.

"What does it matter? She's just a slave." Natsuki said, baiting Haruka.

"Enough!!" Haruka yelled, lunging at Natsuki.

Now Natsuki could hold her own in a fight, but if there was anyone that could match her strength it was Haruka. Haruka was taller than Natsuki and built like a tank.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Natsuki yelled, holding her hands up.

Haruka stopped and looked at Natsuki. She and Natsuki had spent eighteen years co-existing together, and sometimes she wonder how that was even possible. Both of their mothers, like most of the older generation in their tribe, had died while the girls were still young. Although she and Natsuki were not friends, Natsuki was one thing in her life that was constant. Haruka knew how things could change in an instant, and although she knew Natsuki was a brat, there was a part of her that cared for the troublemaker. Not to mention she enjoyed the rivalry between them. Haruka sat down.

"Why would you do that?" Haruka questioned, squeezing Yukino's hand under the water.

"Aww c'mon I was just joking. I didn't mean anything by it." Natsuki protested, and then brought her fingers to her mouth. "But she does taste good..."

Before Natsuki could finish that sentence, Haruka was on top of her. Natsuki had no time to react as she was taken down in the water.

"SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! GAHBLURBGAHBLUR!"

"Say sorry to Yukino." Haruka threatened, fist poised to strike.

"Sorry." Natsuki mumbled, rolling her eyes.

Yukino just nodded.

Natsuki's intent had only been to ruffle Haruka's feathers. Sh knew that wherever Yukino was, Haruka was not far behind. The two had been inseparable since Yukino had joined the tribe. Natsuki certainly hadn't expected the blonde to get so upset. Was there more to this than she thought?

Haruka, seemingly satisfied with the apology sat back down. She too had been out hunting, and all she wanted to do was relax. Yukino, not needing any prompting, began to massage Haruka's back and shoulders. Haruka sighed happily.

"Do you know when Midori will be back?" she asked nonchalantly.

"No. She said two weeks at the most." Natsuki replied, stretching out. "But until then, I'm going to enjoy being in charge." she grinned.

Haruka scowled. She wasn't sure why Midori picked Natsuki to watch over the tribe in her absence instead of her. Midori and her partner were traveling to a neighboring tribe called Otome. Queen Mashiro of the Otome tribe had invited them, in hopes of improving relations between the two all-female tribes.

Just as Haruka was about to ask another question, they were interrupted by the watch tower guard.

"Natsuki." the guard said harshly.

"Akira? What is it?" Natsuki asked, looking up.

"You better come and see this." Akira said, motioning with her hand.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Natsuki stood dumbfounded staring at a large object. Akira was right behind her, eyes wide. Haruka had followed of course, not wanting to miss out on the action. Behind Haruka was Yukino, who was once again feeling scared. In front of the group was a large burlap sack.

The sack then began to move.

"Holy Shit!" Natsuki jumped.

"It's alive!" yelled Haruka, while Yukino clung tightly to her.

"Let's poke it with a stick." interrupted Nao, conveniently with stick in hand.

"Hey where did you come from?" Natsuki growled, as Nao approached the bag.

"That's not important oh fearless leader." Nao's voice dripped sarcasm.

Everyone watched as Nao approached the bag and lightly tapped it with the stick. No movement was visible and everyone seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. Nao then raised the stick over her head and to everyone's surprise brought it down hard and fast. The bag roared in agony.

"Aaah!" yelped Nao, as the bag tried to attack her.

Nao jumped backwards and as she did a note fell from the sack. Akira grabbed it quickly, reading out loud.

"It's addressed to Natsuki." she said, handing the note over.

Natsuki cleared her throat and opened the note.

"It's from Queen Mashiro." she said slowly, reading the note.

"Well what does it say?" Nao asked impatiently.

"It says that this is a gift. An important gift that we must watch over until Midori returns." she finished.

"A Gift?" Haruka asked.

"Well then if it's from Mashiro, we better open it." Natsuki resolved, reaching for the drawstring of the sack.

Everyone waited with baited breath, as Natsuki opened the bag. Natsuki looked down and was greeted by a pair of deep red eyes.

"What the--" she had no time to finish her sentence, as the prisoner in the bag jumped out and onto her, knocking her to the floor.

Natsuki was momentarily blinded by a small figure with wild, honey colored hair.

"It's a demon!" yelled Nao, looking for her stick.

"Should I shoot it?" Akira asked, bow and arrow poised.

"It's not a demon. It's a girl." Yukino observed, as the girl now sat idly on Natsuki's chest.

Natsuki looked up at the girl, and the girl, hunched on her hind legs, looked back at Natsuki.

Natsuki then growled and wrapped her hand around the girl's thin neck. The girl began to thrash around, but Natsuki held her down.

"Another villager?" she said with disgust. "But why?" she wondered, as she looked the girl over. The girl couldn't have been that old. Fourteen or fifteen at the most. The girl's dirty hair hung over her eyes, and she smelled like she hadn't had a bath in awhile. She also looked like she hadn't eaten in awhile either.

"Let's just kill her." snarled Nao maliciously.

"I don't think that's a good idea." interjected Akira, annoyed.

"Let's eat her!" yelled Mikoto, salt and pepper shakers in hand.

Everyone turned to the cat-like girl.

"What?" she asked nonchalantly. "It was just a suggestion."

"What are you doing here?" Natsuki questioned, wondering if Mai was here too. She could use Mai's advice right about now. Then her prayers were answered.

"If this is a gift from Mashiro, there must be some reason we are supposed to look after it." Mai said, right behind Mikoto.

Natsuki nodded her head. Mai always seemed to know the right thing to say.

"And since you're in charge, I guess she will be in your care then right Natsuki?" Haruka said cheerfully.

"Hey now--" Natsuki started, but then shut her mouth as she looked at the other people in the room.

She then looked at the girl, whose body had gone limp.

"All right. I'll take care of her. But only until Midori comes back." Natsuki huffed, as everyone else nodded. "Now let's get her to the springs. Mai can you bring us some food? It looks like this girl hasn't eaten in months." she said pointing to the girl's bony arm. "The rest of you, minus Akira, can help me at the springs."

Akira nodded, and headed back to her post.

"Oh no she's YOUR responsibility." Nao grinned, as she followed Akira out the door.

"Hey wait--" Natsuki called to Nao's back.

"I'll help you Natsuki-san." came a small voice from behind her.

Natsuki looked over to Yukino. She was about to protest, before she thought for a moment. Yukino would be an asset. She would know more about a villager than they would. Maybe she could possibly be helpful. Natsuki smiled.

"Thank you Yukino." she said scooping their "gift" easily into her arms.

"You're not going anywhere without me." Haruka yelled.

"Then keep up." Natsuki called back, holding the girl in her arms tightly.

The girl rested her head in the crook of Natsuki's strong arm and lifted her hand to Natsuki's chest. Natsuki was too busy thinking to notice the actions of the smaller girl.

"How hard can this be anyways?" Natsuki muttered to herself. "It's only a couple of weeks."

The girl in her arms snuggled closer, enjoying the scent of the tall warrior's hair. A happy smile graced her face, as Natsuki looked down at her.

"Piece of cake." she thought, smiling at the seemingly docile girl.

Oh Natsuki...how wrong you be!
