I've Had Enough

Chapter 4: I love you, I want you, I can't live without you

Nimara

"Reito-kun, did Shizuru-san drink any sake or Kirin? She's being...incredibly lose right now."

Mai peered from a kitchen into a living room filled with people. Reito stood beside her, nursing a small cup of sake to his lips. He looked at Shizuru lazing on the couch with three other women, "Some sake may have wandered into her drinks. Heh."

He flashed his smile of perfection innocently. He looked into the cups that littered the counter top in front of him. All of them were already filled with alcohol of various types. Mai looked about herself, alarmed. "Reito! Some?! It only takes her two cups before she's tipsy. Remember last winter? Oh my God. Natsuki is going to flip. Why did you do that?"

"For the same reason you told those women that she was single." Touché.

Mai's mouth fell open and she crossed her arms. "I'm going to find Mikoto. Just...just keep an eye on her. Both eyes."

In an expensive flat overlooking some of Tokyo's finest streets, chaos was about to party crash. The rooms were jam packed with people and it appeared as if Midori may have outdone herself this year. The explorer, archaeologist, and really just jack-of-all-trades was nowhere to be seen. No, she had taken the Fuuka nurse into a bedroom and had yet to come out for over an hour. No one whispered a word of the two's absence. It was probably a good thing that the music was booming hard enough to vibrate the walls. Most bets were on Nao, who they all figured would mention something eventually.

The party was filled with new faces, as it was every year. What once started out as a small get together for random occasions had escalated into a bump-and-grind fiesta that pushed the limits of how many people one can safely pack into a room. Not that anyone was really complaining.

Out of the group of new colleagues that Midori invited were the three women that hung closely to Shizuru, who wore a black skirt and plain red tank top. Her own clothing was simple compared to the party-goers but it flattered her perfectly. The three women were easily in their thirties, but all had aged as beautifully and easily like Midori and Youko. They cooed over Shizuru, her Kyoto-mannerisms, her soft skin, and stunning eyes.

Besides Shizuru and her perfection there was a buxom, short-haired, plump lip Historian named Noriko. Then there was Maika the Model, who was long legged with straight ebony hair. Finally, Actress Yumi who was a well dressed, classic beauty by all measures. The trio locked their eyes on the young Shizuru as they entered the flat and like experienced hunters they moved in slowly and skillfully.

Other men looked onwards despondently. They were four of the most beautiful women at the party and it looked certain that none were interested in the Y-chromosome.

For the most part, their conversation was filled with friendly chatter and amusing anecdotes. Expertly a compliment was thrown in at the most precise moment to make Shizuru feel flattered and heated, but not cautious. Shizuru had come to the party sullen. Her original plan was to stay only for the minimum amount that was required as a polite guest. Things quickly changed though and she found herself surrounded by the good company of three women.

What did not help the situation was the alcohol Shizuru was consuming. Twenty minutes into the party she picked up her drink but found that liquor had been mixed into it. It was a surprise when she took a large gulp of her lime-soda. She knew better than to get drunk at Midori's parties so she disposed of the drink. Unfortunately she was still thirsty and the flat was getting hotter by the minute. This time she opted for some orange juice. All was fine and well the first sip but when she went for the second, sometime later, she discovered it had been once again filled with alcohol. This was troubling because now she had consumed quite a bit of alcohol by her standards. Slightly frustrated she went for some water instead, asking Reito to grab her a cup.

The charming man was more than happy to get her a cup but when she drank from it, it was nothing but hard liquor. In surprise and annoyance she cast the cup back at Reito, nearly spilling it on him. The first drink had left her flushed, the second had left her hot, and now she simply waited for the effects of the third drink.

Oh, and there were the three lovely women. Shizuru may have been a taken woman, but she was not ashamed for appreciating some good eye candy. Especially since they were willing to give her the attention that she had gone so long without.

Noriko pressed shot glass to her lips then laughed loudly, "This is that new 'green liquor'. You know keeping things organic and environmentally safe. Tastes pretty damn good."

She passed the shot glass to Shizuru. On the table in front of them was a tall square bottle labeled 'Square One of California'. Shizuru smiled softly and tried to give back the shot glass, "Ara, I really shouldn't."

Yumi tossed her hair, "Come on, darling. This type of drink is rare! A specialty all the way here in Japan. Give it a taste."

Shizuru looked at the shot glass with a small smile. She had reached the point that is familiar to many of us. You may not have talked to yourself at all that day but there is a point after enough drinking that you say, 'Oh yeah, I'm tipsy.'

Shizuru was actually beyond tipsy. With a small laugh and a nudge from Maika, she threw the vodka to the back of her throat.

There was a round of cheers from the women and they asked what she thought about it. She gave a sheepish shrug and they all smiled deviously at each other. Noriko poured another shot glass and passed it to Yumi before throwing her arm over Shizuru's shoulder. "So Midori used to be your teacher, hm? Girls, remember when she was in high school with us? God, the four of us were a force to be reckoned with!"

Yumi took the shot. "Were? We still are! And now more experienced than ever. Oh sweetheart, I'll tell you about this one time Midori stumbled into a stripper bar..."

---

"Mikoto, where are you?" Mai looked into a less packed room. She zeroed in on familiar spiky hair to see her talking with Nao. The smile Nao wore signaled she was up to her usual trouble. Mikoto always enjoyed listening to Nao and her cunning ideas and ways of having fun. Mai, on the other hand, did not like the influence Nao had on Mikoto...or how close the spider was standing to Mikoto.

"You two better are behaving, right?"

Mikoto smiled and Nao put on a clearly fake innocent look, "Yup, Mai!"

"Alright. I'm just checking on you. If you want something to drink, Mikoto, come to me okay? Don't drink from any cups that anyone gives you."

Nao hid her own cup behind her back, "Hey, did you talk to Natsuki? She looked a little lost when she came in here. Hell, I didn't even notice her for a minute."

Mai blanched. "Natsuki is here?"

Mikoto nodding furiously, her braids bopping up and down. "She looked really nice but I wouldn't tell her that. There is a guy on the floor cause he told her she looked good enough to eat. Mai, does Natsuki taste good?"

"You'd have to ask that Fujino," Nao chuckled.

Mai groaned. She should find Natsuki quickly.

---

"...and then she said 'You know they say you are what you eat...Does that mean I'll be you in the morning?' Oh my God!"

The three woman laughed hard and Shizuru chuckled politely. Her face was flushed from a mixture of alcohol and crude jokes. She felt a hand in her hair and turned to see Noriko admiring it. "You have to tell us how you keep your hair this soft and full! It's absolutely amazing."

"Oh, it's very easy. There is this new hair product from China that is made up of almost entirely mayonnaise!" Shizuru recalled of how Natsuki was appalled that someone would waste good mayo like that.

Maika ran her hand through her own hair. "Sounds fabulous! You're hair colo-..."

"Hey girls, take a look at her," Yumi cut in, and looked over at a woman near the kitchen.

It was Natsuki. At least, Shizuru thought it was. She wore dark low riding jeans and a black halter that stopped above her stomach. What threw her off was the fact that Natsuki's hair was up in a ponytail, exposing her slim pale neck. Shizuru coughed lightly. She saw Mai come from down one of the halls and grab Natsuki's wrist just before she could turn in Shizuru's direction. Mai tugged Natsuki away and out of sight. Yumi pouted. "Looks like she's busy already."

Shizuru only got to see Natsuki for a few seconds and questioned whether it was really her or not. She was beginning to serious doubt her own judgment. Noriko stood, bringing Shizuru up with her. "We'll catch her later, girls. How about we go heat up that dance floor?"

---

"Natsuki! You look great! Very, very sexy. I think the last time I saw you this sexy was when you pulled that hitchhike back in high school," said Mai. She had successfully pulled Natsuki into a part of the kitchen where she could not see Shizuru.

Reito smiled, still hanging out by the liquor-stuffed counters. "We were worried that we'd find you guys in some sort of danger. Imagine our surprise."

Natsuki blushed and grabbed at her ponytail. "Shut up. Why is it so damn cold today? The walk from my place to here was horrible."

Reito grabbed a shot glass and inspected it closely, "Don't worry about the cold, Kuga-san. You'll feel the heat in here soon enough. Try some of this, it'll get your body warmed up."

Natsuki grabbed the shot glass and downed it. Her eyes widened and she coughed and gagged, "What the fuck was that?"

Tears formed in her eyes and a violent shudder ran down her back. Mai glared at Reito, "What did you give her?"

Reito shrugged and repeated his signature smile of innocent, "It was just among the cups here."

Natsuki wiped her eyes. "Where's Shizuru?"

"Dance floor."

"Haven't seen her."

Mai swore that if she stood next to Reito she would have crushed his foot under hers. He wasn't supposed to tell her where Shizuru was! At least not while she was with those three women. Sure, Mai had told the women that Shizuru was single but that was for Shizuru's own benefit. Natsuki would be more than just pissed off when she saw a drunk Shizuru amidst admiring women.

Natsuki did not think much of the two answers. Reito was definitely right about the drink warming her up. "I guess, I'll go check the dance floor then."

Mai grabbed onto Natsuki again, "Natsuki it feels like I haven't seen you in so long."

Natsuki frowned. "You saw me yesterday."

"But, really, we don't talk as often as we used to. Come on, catch up with me first."

Natsuki pulled away, getting annoyed at her friend's strange actions. Reito chuckled, "Kuga-san, you should probably find Shizuru. I saw a few men looking at her in the bad-type of way."

Natsuki blinked and nodded, "Later Mai. I need to get Shizuru first."

With that, the biker strode out of the kitchen, a sense of protectiveness welling up inside her. She had been searching for Shizuru as soon as she came in. On the way over she realized how badly she wanted to make things right with her. She was not sure what had caused Shizuru to become angry with her but she would do anything to make it up. Forget the dreams. All she wanted to do was hold Shizuru in her arms.

Mai turned on Reito, balling up her fist. For a while she did not speak but just exuded anger and danger. She tried to find the proper words to convey her disbelief.

"Reito Kanzaki! Do you have any idea what you just did? You just set off a ticking time bomb onto the dance floor."

"Correction Mai-chan. The situation is already a ticking time bomb. I merely sped it up."

Mai seethed. "And what in the world did you give her to drink? Don't tell me you don't know!"

"I believe it was called 'Everclear'. I found it behind the pots and pans," Reito said. He opened the freezer and pulled out a small tub of ice cream.

"E-e-everclear?! That can drop a cow! It dropped Haruka in five minutes!"

Scooping out some chocolate deliciousness, he chuckled. "Good thing Natsuki's more like a bull then. I'm giving her about fifteen minutes of sobriety. Come now, Mai-chan, let us not think of bad things. Have some ice cream with me."

--

Natsuki's eyes searched the packed room. The music was loud and the room was humid with perspiration. Her mind flashed back to her dream where she searched for Shizuru. She thought she saw Shizuru's tawny hair and took a step towards the mass. Her step was sluggish but adrenaline pumped through her when she got a clear shot of Shizuru among a group of women. Natsuki pushed her way through the twisting bodies to see Shizuru sandwiched between two beautiful women.

Their hands moved up and down Shizuru's body. Their bodies were glued to hers. She wanted her hands on Shizuru. She wanted to be the one moving her body against Shizuru's. God, she was so hot in that black skirt and red top. Natsuki could not look away, nor did she want to.

One of woman turned her head, spotted Natsuki, and smiled coyly. Natsuki narrowed her eyes. Like hell she was going to stand around any longer and let those women have something she could not. She grabbed Shizuru's arm and tugged her away from the dancing. She placed Shizuru behind her, not caring that the rhythm of the group had been broken.

Shizuru ran her hand through her bangs, confused. It was Natsuki right? "Natsuki?"

One of the women, with long black hair, stepped close to Natsuki. "Excuse me? I believe we were dancing with her."

Natsuki crossed her arms, not intimidated by the taller woman, "She's not yours to dance with."

"From what we were aware of, she was single," Noriko remarked.

"You're mistaken then, ladies, 'cause she's mine." Natsuki turned to Shizuru with a glare then held the side of her face and kissed her hard on the lips. She did not wait for permission from Shizuru before she invaded her mouth with her tongue. She tasted the liquor Shizuru had consumed, her tongue dominating. Natsuki softened the kiss but only by a little bit. She kissed her in a way that only a lover could, making sure the women behind her knew it. Shizuru began to register the kiss in her whirling mind. Eagerly, she started to move her lips in sync with Natsuki's, but her girlfriend pulled away.

Noriko smirked when Natsuki turned around again, "Our mistake then. Shizuru-chan, if you and your puppy want to have a bit of extra fun later, we'll be here all night."

"Don't stay up too late," Natsuki retorted angrily and dragged Shizuru away from the dance floor. Yumi waved her hand, "Bai bai, Shi-chan! What a lucky girl!"

---

The next destination for the young couple was the coat closet. More like a small room, the coat closet had garments hanging on both sides of the walls. Natsuki had led Shizuru into the room and closed the door slightly behind her to drown out the music. Natsuki grabbed her coat but did not speak a word to Shizuru. She had already made up her mind on how she was going to deal with the situation. She went through the coats again to look for something that was from her girlfriend's wardrobe. Shizuru waited quietly next to her, trying to gather her own wits past the alcohol.

"Where is your damn coat?" Natsuki slid every hanger, one by one. She felt a hand on her hip and turned. Shizuru placed her second hand on Natsuki's hip and pushed her back against the door, closing it. Holding Natsuki against the door, Shizuru let her forehead rest against her neck.

"God, you're so beautiful. I love your neck," she drawled. Her warm hands rubbed Natsuki's bare stomach and her lips slowly caressed her collarbone.

Natsuki fought back the desire to moan as she felt the soft lips travel down. She clenched at her coat, trying to quell the rising heat inside her. Something snapped inside her back when she kissed Shizuru in front of those women. She knew there was only one way to overcome the emotions inside her.

"Where is your jacket, Shizuru?" she breathed out.

"I forgot it. I love how you say my name in that breathy voice..." her hands moved to the waistband of Natsuki's jeans.

Each word blew softly onto Natsuki skin. "Fuck..." Her own hands had found their way to Shizuru's backside, but with great determination she pushed Shizuru away. The action sent a wave of dizziness over Natsuki. As if she was...tipsy and she only had one vile drink! Maybe it was really just that hot in there.

Natsuki placed her jacket around Shizuru's shoulder. Shizuru grabbed at Natsuki's waist again, wearing an aloof smile on her lips.

Natsuki sighed and grabbed her hand firmly, "We have to talk. Do you hear me, Shizuru? We're going home, you damn drunk."

"I'm not drunk," she slurred.

"Like hell you aren't."

Natsuki stepped out of the closet and beelined towards the exit. She halted in front of the kitchen, where Mai and Reito were still talking. Shizuru walked straight into Natsuki's back with a light giggle. Mai was first to catch sight of them, "Natsuki! Shizuru!"

Shizuru waved happily, "Hello, Mai-han!"

Natsuki pointed at Reito, "What did you give me, apeshit?"

Reito laughed and pulled out the large bottle of clear liquid. Natsuki cursed when she saw the label. Shizuru continued to laugh politely behind her hand but really did not know what was going on anymore.

Reito glanced at the clock on the wall, "I'd get home soon if I were you, Kuga-san. Looks like you have about five minutes left."

Natsuki tugged Shizuru again, clearly more frustrated now, "Say goodbye, Shizuru."

Shizuru waved her hand and the two were off and out of the flat.

Mai blinked and Reito waved his hand back while laughing, "Two drunks walking home..."

---

The elevator ride down to the lobby proved more difficult than Natsuki could ever imagine. Shizuru's wandering hands were becoming more daring. Natsuki had to keep scolding her while impatiently watching the floors' numbers count down. After thirty-five stories, Natsuki threw herself out of the elevator, keeping hold of Shizuru's hand.

Walking on the sidewalk path towards their own apartment was also challenging. Natsuki first thought that Shizuru could walk on her own but after the ex-kaichou walked off the sidewalk several times, she discovered she was horribly wrong. She held her hand and walked quickly past the people who shared the sidewalk with them. Shizuru hung back happily, smiling and enjoying the warmth coming from Natsuki's hand. Every once in a while she would hum to herself or laugh.

Natsuki knew she was buzzed but thought she would be much worse off after finding out she had drunk a potent drink. 190 proof, to be exact. She was not sure whether to thank the slow-burning anger, overwhelming frustration, or the piercing cold for relative soberness. Or perhaps it was knowing she had to be alert while taking Shizuru home to insure her girlfriend did not grope any women they passed.

When they reached their apartment door, Natsuki pushed Shizuru against it and covered her mouth hungrily with her own. She dug through her pockets for the key as she kissed Shizuru feverishly. She opened the door and Shizuru nearly fell, but Natsuki caught her with a smirk. Kicking the door closed, Natsuki kissed her again, losing sense to passion. Shizuru responded just as heatedly as she worked on the zipper of Natsuki's pants.

"Come 'ere." Natsuki led Shizuru to her room and pushed her roughly onto the mattress. She kicked off her shoes and took a look at Shizuru. With her legs bent, her heels on the bed, and her skirt flipped up Natsuki could clearly see Shizuru's black underwear. It may have just been the alcohol, but Natsuki nearly lost her balance just looking at the beautiful woman in front of her. Shizuru placed an arm behind her head and grinned. Natsuki reached over to the nightstand light and turned it on. She wanted to see every detail that was kept from her in the moonlight. She admired the delicate lace of Shizuru's panties with a smirk. Shizuru bit her lip and groaned as Natsuki positioned herself on top of her, pressing their bodies closely together.

She looked down at her with a devilish smile, "You're so beautiful Shizuru."

Shizuru brought her legs around Natsuki's waist and trapping the woman's body against her own. Shizuru moaned lightly and Natsuki dipped down to taste Shizuru's neck. Natsuki felt all her dreams coming true right there with Shizuru. The taste of her skin on Natsuki's lips was amazing. Shizuru's body was so hot with need and she wanted nothing else but Natsuki.

"Ara, I thought Natsuki wanted to talk."

Natsuki bit down on Shizuru's neck, causing her yelp in surprise. Natsuki pulled away and got herself untangled from Shizuru's legs. She needed to give more than just kisses to Shizuru. She wanted to give everything she could. She moved both of her hands slowly up Shizuru's top.

When their eyes met, Shizuru could see the lust burning in Natsuki's eyes. Natsuki's smoldering gaze caused her breath to get caught in her throat. How many times did her mind wonder the types of looks Natsuki would give her? Shizuru could not believe what she was feeling. She was sure she had passed from drinking too much and now was having the most pleasant dream ever. Natsuki kissed her ear and whispered hotly, "Talking can wait. Do you know how long I've wanted you? I've been enduring a slow torture. Your teasing, your body, the way you move, everything you do drives me insane."

She nipped at Shizuru's ear hard enough to make her flinch. Oh the pain felt so real and so good. Natsuki remembered the women that had danced with Shizuru earlier. A tinge of jealousy and anger hit her.

"Tell me you're mine." Whispered Natsuki against Shizuru's neck.

She sucked hungrily at Shizuru's throat and moved one of her hands to cup her breast. Shizuru gasped and moaned softly.

"Natsuki..."

Natsuki became more relentless with her onslaught on Shizuru. Each gasp and cry from Shizuru fueled her passion, sending her further away from coherence. She pushed Shizuru's top up and began to graze her teeth along her chest and matching black bra. She bit down lightly on a pert nipple through the lace and Shizuru cried out again.

"Tell me, Shizuru, or I'm going to punish you."

Shizuru's light laugh was cut short when Natsuki bit down again. "What if...I want you to punish...me?"

Natsuki moved her hand and pinched Shizuru's ass. Shizuru squealed and tried to move away but Natsuki held her firmly in place. "Tell me, or I'm going to stop."

The both of them knew she would not, but Shizuru consented. She pulled the string that held Natsuki's halter in place. She moved her hand slowly behind Natsuki's neck and pulled the tie from her hair, wanting to run her hands through it.

"I'm yours...I'm yours," she breathed as Natsuki continued to ravish her body. Shizuru's sighs and moans grew louder. Natsuki tugged Shizuru's top off and threw it aside. She stepped off the bed to look Shizuru over again. Natsuki chuckled at Shizuru's pose on the bed with her party heels still on.

"I wish I had a camera." Shizuru blushed and watched Natsuki discard her own clothing. Shizuru bit her bottom lip as Natsuki's clothing came off to reveal matching red bra and thong. Shizuru moved to pull her skirt off, but Natsuki grabbed her hands.

"The skirt and heels stay on for now." She said huskily.

Natsuki got on the bed again and trailed her hand down to Shizuru's panties. She moved a finger up and down the fabric passing her hot core several times. Shizuru gasped as Natsuki's fingers got under the damp fabric to tease her wet lips. Natsuki pushed Shizuru's bra up with her teeth as she continued to tease Shizuru. Finally, she pressed two fingers against her clit and sucked on a rosy nipple. Shizuru's back arched and she moaned her lover's name.

Natsuki pushed her panties down with her hand then quickly filled Shizuru with both of her fingers as deeply as she could, foreplay now over. A strangled scream was heard as Shizuru threw her head back, her back arching even more against Natsuki's body and her hips grinding against Natsuki's hand. Natsuki set a slow and hard pace with her fingers, loving the feel of Shizuru bucking her hips and squirming against her, reveling in her love's moist warmth.

She could feel Shizuru tense under her. She moved her hand faster, but it was halted by Shizuru's own hand. Shizuru groaned and gasped, trying to slow down her hard breathing.

"Natsuki… wait…slow down. I want to remember this..." It was their first time of course, and Shizuru was finally coming to her senses. It was all very real. Shizuru had never felt like this in her life. Finally here she was with the woman she loved most.

Natsuki growled then pushed back into her deeply with a wicked smile. She was going to make this a night to remember regardless. She knew it was no longer a dream. Natsuki wanted to show Shizuru how much she loved her. She wanted to finally be with Shizuru in every aspect of her life. She wanted to be connected mind, body, and soul. Natsuki changed her lustful gaze into one of love and care. "If you don't remember this tomorrow morning we can just do it again."

She kissed Shizuru's breast and up her chest. "And again..."

She kissed her neck and then her chin, "...and again..."

Natsuki finally placed her last kiss softly against Shizuru's lips, the intoxicating lust clearing from her mind. This is what she wanted, always wanted. Nothing would make her change her mind.

"And again, until it's not possible for us to forget anything."

She started to move her hand again at the same pace, but kissed Shizuru tenderly as tears formed in her lover's eyes. Between kisses, Natsuki spoke softly, "I've had enough with waiting though. I love you."

Tears fell from Shizuru's eyes as she whispered back, "I love you, Natsuki."

Natsuki removed her wet fingers from inside Shizuru and let them circle her clit slowly. The heat that coursed through Shizuru's body tripled, and she embraced Natsuki tightly.

"Please..." she cried breathlessly.

Natsuki kept kissing downwards, down Shizuru's chest, bare stomach and navel, until she reached the heat between her legs. She slid her panties off entirely and positioned herself between Shizuru's thighs. Shizuru was trembling in pleasure as Natsuki placed more pressure against her sensitive bud. Then, she withdrew her hand and replaced it with her tongue, sucking gently. Her two fingers re-entered Shizuru, going as deeply as they could. Shizuru screamed and it took Natsuki three strokes before she felt Shizuru's muscles tense around her fingers. Shizuru shuddered violently and Natsuki withdrew her fingers, looking up at her lover. Shizuru's nails had dug into the sheets and she slowly relaxed, trying to catch her breath.

"Done so soon, Shizuru? Mm, and I only got to have a small taste." Natsuki licked her fingers and then swiped her tongue against Shizuru's wetness, sending another series of shudders through her body, thinking of how Shizuru tasted so much better than in her dreams. She continued to drink Shizuru's essence, prolonging the aftershocks of the orgasm.

Shizuru beckoned her to come up, still panting slightly, and Natsuki did, but instead fell beside her with a small curse. Shizuru looked at her questioningly under a hooded gaze as Natsuki curled up next to her and chuckled.

"You're the most beautiful woman in the world...you taste delicious, and your voice sounds so like angels singing. But you know what I love about you the most....Shizuru? That you're mine and that you're in love with me and I'm in love with you.

She threw an arm over Shizuru's waist and placed a few small licks at her side, making Shizuru laugh. Shizuru found herself coming to tears again. She turned on her side and placed her own arms around Natsuki. She whispered her love to Natsuki over and over again while stroking her hair. Natsuki giggled softly and Shizuru smiled down at her.

"What are you laughing about, Natsuki?"

"...so much better than dreams," Natsuki replied sluggishly.

Shizuru continued to stroke her hair and share in the body warmth. After a long moment of cuddling and basking in the afterglow, Shizuru could take no more. As much as she wanted to just lay and sleep in her lover's arms she still wanted Natsuki badly. She wanted to see how many times she could make the biker scream her name. Shizuru flipped herself over and on top of Natsuki, but the girl would not let go of her waist. Shizuru blinked at the closed-eyed Natsuki who was pleasantly smiling. Shizuru peeled her arms away and frowned.

'Don't tell me...she fell asleep?'

Passed out was more like it. Shizuru whispered her name into her ear and kissed her softly, but when those did not rouse 'Sleeping Beauty', she opted for a more straight-forward approach. She poked Natsuki's cheek and then her sides and legs. She shook her gently, but Natsuki still did not wake. Instead the dark-haired woman curled up with a nearby pillow and her smile grew larger.

Shizuru looked completely horrified. Brushing her lover's hair aside, she shook her head, "Thank you, Natsuki. You get to have your fun, but now I have to wait."

She pouted and lay there for a few moments thinking of what to do. Her hands wandered for a bit and even snapped the red tight thong. Natsuki blushed in her unconsciousness. Shizuru saw this and chuckled.

"Ara, looks like I can still have a bit of fun! She's not going to remember anything in the morning anyways…"

---

The morning came and, sure enough, Natsuki did not remember much of what happened towards the end of the night. She had also returned to her shy, blushing self as Shizuru recounted the night with a blissful tone. Shizuru kept Natsuki to her promise and to the bedroom as the two made up for their slightly hazy first time.

And when Natsuki complained of a hangover, Doctor Fujino had the cure. Lots of bed rest. The hours passed, phone calls were missed, and the fish were left unfed, but the two lovers knew nothing beyond the bedroom door.

It was late afternoon before Natsuki and Shizuru decided on a snack and shower. Natsuki came out last, towel drying her hair. Shizuru splayed her wet self across the bed and looked fondly at the younger woman. Her body was damp and her long wet hair was pulled over her shoulder. She winked at Natsuki.

Natsuki glared, "Keep that up and we won't have dinner."

"More promises, Natsuki?" Shizuru teased. Natsuki blushed. She sat down next to Shizuru who grabbed for her towel to start drying herself off.

"Oi, Shizuru. What was with the cold shoulder, yesterday?" She looked over her shoulder and at Shizuru. Shizuru looked thoughtful for a few moments but then smiled, "I almost forgot!"

Her expression suddenly turned very grave, "Natsuki didn't call at all that night. I was worried that you had gotten hurt. What am I...supposed to expect when Natsuki doesn't come home when she says she would. I was mad at you."

Natsuki realized her mistake. She actually had realized it earlier but was not sure if it was what set Shizuru off. She understood that the cold shoulder was meant to be something more punishing than just a scolding. Shizuru was serious about her fear and wanted Natsuki to take it seriously too. She took Shizuru into her arms, "I'm sorry. I'll make sure to call next time. I just needed some time to think. The dreams have been so...-"

Shizuru's smiled like a cat after hearing the word 'dream' again, "What are these dreams that Natsuki keeps mentioning?"

Natsuki's face flushed and she pushed Shizuru away lightly. "N-nothing. J-just dreams."

Shizuru pounced Natsuki and pressed her knee in between her legs, "I've been having dreams too. Fantasies would be the better term. Actually I think I have one that I want to try out right now!"

Natsuki groaned. "You're not going to get dinner!"

"What dinner? I have what I ordered right in front of me."

And everything was perfect as Shizuru and Natsuki began their new life together.
