Author: I thought of this as strange, but then again so am I :P. I do not own Mai HiME and Lucky Star. Oh yeah and thank you to my Beta reader Angel1678 for her hard work.
Chapter 1
It was strange, that's what I told myself over and over again.
Her emerald eyes stared out through the window, the breeze of a Saturday morning blew gently across her face, catching her long raven blue hair in a drift. The sun shined brightly over the luscious green lawn, the birds sung happily flying over the house.
My name is Natsuki Kuga, age 16 and a half. I suppose it's natural around my age to feel this, but the person I feel it for in a way it's sick.
Letting out a yawn she stared down magazine on her desk. Pictures of motorbikes were on the front cover, her hands flicked through the pages stopping at a picture of a Ducati bike.
In the world today, the term love is a bond shared between two people of the opposite gender. My kind of love does not fit in that category, for my love is not with a man, but a woman.
Her hands traced around the outlines of the bike, her eyes looked lost in its beauty.
My life wasn't always perfect like it is now, I was actually an orphan. My parents were killed in a car crash; my relatives weren't able to look after me so I was sent to an orphanage. The life I had wasn't good, the food was terrible, the other kids at the orphanage were much older than me so I used to get picked on a lot.
Her eyes watched the tear fall from her cheek before landing on the page leaving a small dense spot.
I would cry myself to sleep every night; I missed my mother and my father so much. The nights when my mother would tuck me into bed and read me a story or the days I would help my father at his workshop on the motorbikes. They were the happiest of times, but when I look back on them they're but memories that I'll never be able to relive again.
Closing the magazine, she looked over at the clock noticing it was half past ten.
I spent two years in the orphanage that was until a family adopted me. It questioned me as to why they would even bother with a girl like me, considering the first time I met them…
10 years ago…
The door opened letting out a chiming sound echo through the room. The lady looked up from her work noticing a woman with long brunette hair dressed in work clothes that were a colour purple and a man who was shorter than the woman not by much but with a beard that made up for it.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The woman bowed her head greeting the couple.
"I'm Hiro, I believe I called you earlier to make an appointment." The gentleman replied giving the woman a warm smile.
"Ah yes, Fujino Hiro and you must be…" Looked over at the brunette woman she noticed the uniqueness of her eyes.
"Fujino Shizuma." The woman tipped her head before looking over at the window. Walking over she gazed upon the sight before her. The children outback playing together happily with what they had, it was a sad sight that caught her attention.
She noticed some kids picking on a small little girl with raven blue hair. Turning back to her husband who was looking at her with a questioning look, she issued for him to see what she was looking at. Pointing over at the small girl, Hiro nodded before turning back to the lady.
"Excuse me, who is the little one with the long blue hair?"
"Oh, Kuga Natsuki is her name, but I think…" Before she could finish she was cut off.
"We would like to meet her please." The lady stood her mouth half gaped trying to find something to say.
"Very well" She left the two, heading out through the back before walking back in with an angry looking Natsuki.
"I told you, they were picking on me!" The girl stomped her foot hard on the ground.
"Natsuki, you have some guests." Natsuki looked over at the two with a look that made them pull their heads back.
"I don't care; I want them to give it back!" Natsuki turned her attention back to the lady who looked rather scared.
"I'll go and talk to them, in the meantime why don't you talk to these nice people." She left in a hurry going out back leaving the three alone.
My first impression of them; rich snobs.
"How are we young lady?" Hiro bent down looking into Natsuki's emerald eyes.
"Pissed off!" Natsuki rudely replied crossing her arms. The man just chuckled at the sight causing Natsuki to turn her back to them.
I'm surprised he didn't get angry at me or tell me to watch my language.
Shizuma rested one knee on the ground looking now so she was on Natsuki's level. "Natsuki, what is it that those mean people took from you?" her voice was calm and gentle causing Natsuki to turn around.
The first thing I noticed about the girl was her crimson eyes; I had never seen a colour as such before.
"Duran…" Natsuki weakly replied. "They took my toy, Duran."
Shizuma held back the aww of the cuteness of the young girl. "Is Duran important to you?" Natsuki nodded in reply cutely.
Duran was the name of my stuff toy dog, it was given to me by mother and it has kept me safe all those years.
Walking back in, she handed Natsuki her toy though it was covered in dirt which made Natsuki upset. "I'll tell you what Natsuki." Natsuki turned back around looking Shizuma in the eyes. "How about we give Duran a nice home, what do you say?"
Natsuki smiled in joy; looking down at her toy she stroked it gently before cuddling it. "Hiro, can we?" Shizuma stood back up looking over at her husband who nodded warmly to her. "Miss…"
"Sanada."
"Miss Sanada, we would like to adopt Natsuki." Yukariko widened her eyes in shock before looking down at the smiling blunette.
"Of course, I'll just go get the papers."
"Hear that Natsuki, you'll be coming home with us." Shizuma looked back at the blunette who stood there smiling cheerful with her beady eyes.
I guess I was happy, no the happiest I had been in years. People turned me away because they said I was too scruffy or most of the time I swore at them but these people seemed to understand me well. They reminded me so much of my parents, not a day goes by that I do not think of them.
Present…..
Opening the fridge door, Natsuki reached out from the side grabbing hold of the mayonnaise bottle. Closing the door behind she twisted the lid off before pouring the bottle all along the white bread that laid flat on the chopping board.
Ah mayonnaise, my one weakness and number one addiction.
After squeezing half the bottle dry, she flipped the piece of bread on the side on top of the thick layer of white goo. Picking up the sandwich she inched it closer to her face, her jaw readying to snack of the delicious treat. "Nee-chan!" Natsuki felt her mouth pouting, her attention would have to be drawn away from the tasty and delicious sandwich. She turned her head to the side watching the younger girl with blond hair and blue eyes running towards her with open arms.
Alyssa is my younger sister, not by blood but rather a half sister. Still she's very childish despite the fact she's two years younger than me. Both her and her sister were quite surprised when I showed up in their house the first day I came here, but they welcomed me with open arms. Alyssa is pretty attached to me as she's always happy to see me while her sister, well…
"How's Onee-chan today?" She smiled cheerfully wrapping her arms around her sister's waist.
"I'm good today Alyssa, how about you?"
She can be annoying at times, but I have to admit she can be adorable.
"Alyssa's feeling happy, can Natsuki come play tea party with me?" Alyssa looked up into Natsuki's eyes with a puppy dog look.
I hate it when she does that.
"Sure, just got to finish this sandwich" Natsuki quickly reached over before sinking her teeth into the mayo dripping sandwich. Alyssa felt her stomach turning at the sight of Natsuki devouring the sandwich, shaking her head she ran off smiling in joy.
Both she and her sister know how to get me to do things for them and with them. Do I have any control over my life?
Licking the spilt mayo on her fingers, she began to make her way to her sister's room. She found herself climbing the stairs, looking up to see more stairs she sighed in exhaustion.
Maybe I should cut back on the mayonnaise.
Reaching the final step she turned around to smile at her success.
Psych! Fooled you stairs!
Walking down the hall, she came to a stop outside of Alyssa's room. The door was half opened, peeking in she could see Alyssa organizing her toys around a small table.
She's fourteen and she's having tea parties, when will she ever grow up?
"Coming Natsuki?" Alyssa spoke out aloud causing Natsuki to flinch catching her off guard. Walking in, she eyed around at the toys, their eyes all looking at her as she took a seat. Folding her legs back trying to look professional, she watched Alyssa pour the tea into the toy cups for her toys before pouring it into Natsuki's own.
Tea's not that bad, I just get tired of constantly having it is all. I don't know how the other two can put up with it.
Natsuki brought the cup to her face when she felt a vibration in her left pocket. Putting the cup aside she reached in pulling her phone which was covered in a dark colour. Flipping it open she put it up to her ear listening in. "Hello?"
"Ara, does Natsuki miss me?" Natsuki felt her mouth getting dry at the sound of that girl's voice.
It's her, my sister.
"S-Shizu-ru how are y-you?" Natsuki stuttered on her words trying to keep her cool.
"I'm alright, actually I'm feeling great!" The girl's voice changed to a more cheerful brightening tone causing Natsuki to smile.
"Did something good happen?"
"I have something to show both of you."
"Both of us?"
"I know your having a tea party with Alyssa again."
"…How did yo-"
"That's what sisters are, I'll be home in ten minutes see you soon Natsuki." And with that she hung up.
Natsuki felt her heart pounding hard and her hands shaking uneasy. It was the sound of the phone ringing that shook her from her state. Looking over she watched Alyssa pull her phone out talking into the other end. "Hey Nee-chan."
She called both of us; it must really be a surprise.
Taking this as her chance to escape, she slipped out from the tea party and managed to sneak to her room closing the door behind her. Throwing herself onto her bed she stared up at the ceiling, her gaze lost within her mind.
I didn't know why it was like this, why I felt this way. She's my sister I know but what I feel is something that's not natural. At first I thought it was just natural when I first met her; my mouth feeling dry whenever she talks, our eye contact never leaving each other, the way she smiles make me sigh in admiration. It was only a few years later that it hit me and it hit me hard. I Natsuki Kuga, had fallen in love with my sister Shizuru.
Natsuki let out a yawn before flipping onto her side. Looking back at the clock, she noticed ten minutes was up.
I wasn't sure whether I should talk about it, to her or anyone so I kept quiet.
Shooting out of bed, she ran out of her room towards the stairs.
I hope she hasn't noticed it; I don't want to lose someone I care so much about.
Racing down the stairs she waited at the door catching her breathe.
She has been gone for so long on a business trip, the thought of seeing her again makes my stomach turn from excitement.
The doorbell rang, causing Natsuki to freeze on the spot. Reaching her arm out slowly trying to reach the door know she found her hand shaking hard. Gaining control of herself, she took a deep breath and opened the door. She was met with a warm smile and a pair of crimson eyes. Natsuki's smile was soon turned to confusion when she looked to the side at the boy who stood next to Shizuru. Natsuki could tell this was the surprise.
"Natsuki, this is my boyfriend Reito."
I felt my world crumble at those words.

End of Omake
Author: Just an idea so I can get it off my back. The Omake by the way is similar to the lucky star 'Lucky channel' so I should add that into the disclaimer. Thanks to my test subject Ume Sama and read and review to let me know whether I should continue this or not.
