*Rearranged: Chapter 4* The entire day passed and Natsuki had yet to hear from or see Shizuru. It was now dark outside and she was beginning to wonder if she would even see her today. Maybe her parents had forbade her from leaving their house, or maybe the questioning from the police had taken a really long time. Either way, Natsuki was becoming more worried with each minute that ticked by. She wanted to see her. No, she needed to see her. The sound of footsteps running up the stairs of her apartment building alerted her. She waited, holding her breath, to see if they belonged to the person she hoped they belonged to. Knock Knock It was her. She was finally there. Suddenly the anticipation that had been building all day as she'd waited for this moment to come began to well up inside her so that she felt she might burst. Going to the door, she opened it with as much calm as she could muster. Natsuki barely glimpsed the look of joy and relief on Shizuru's face before she was nearly knocked over by her embrace. Shizuru's arms were wrapped tightly about her, and her face was buried into her hair. Natsuki returned the hug just as tightly, relishing in the scent and feel of the girl she'd been longing to see for what seemed like an eternity. The feel of the cold night air brought Natsuki back to her senses; and without relinquishing her hold on the other girl, she leaned forward and closed the door, locking it. She then pulled back slightly to gaze upon Shizuru's face. Light bruising was evident around her jaw, and her lips were slightly bruised as well. Her eyes were also puffy from the shedding of countless tears. Anger and concern flared up in Natsuki's chest at the sight. She raised her hand and trailed her fingertips over the other girl's face in the gentlest of touches. "How could he do this to you?" Natsuki whispered in disbelief. Shizuru grabbed her hand, holding it to her face. Their eyes met, and the need each of them felt became almost tangible. "Let me get your coat for you," Natsuki said, swallowing the lump that had risen in her throat. Shizuru shrugged it off and handed it too her and Natsuki hung it on the coat rack as she removed her shoes. That taken care of, Natsuki held her hand out to Shizuru and pulled the girl to her once more. She leaned in to give Shizuru a kiss, but then hesitated, wanting first to drink in the sight of the other girl's closed eyes and parted lips. Just as Shizuru was opening her eyes to see what was taking so long, Natsuki leaned in and captured her lips. Finally. That was the thought in each of their minds as they slowly kissed one another. Natsuki was gentle, massaging the other girl's lips in the most tender kiss they'd ever shared. Shizuru's heart melted at the love and care that Natsuki was showing her, and she lost herself completely in the amazing kiss. After several minutes they pulled away, breathless. Natsuki noticed her hands had found their way under Shizuru's top and were rubbing and caressing the skin at her waist. She smiled and leaned down, nuzzling Shizuru's neck before placing kisses up and down the smooth column of her throat. The other girl leaned her head back, letting out a moan of pleasure at the loving attention. "Natsuki," she panted, her cheeks flushed, "take me to bed." Not needing to be asked twice, Natsuki grabbed her hand and led her back to her bedroom. There was no point in being discrete with one another; each knew this was what the other had been wanting all day as they had waited for the time when they would see each other again. Once inside her room, Natsuki turned to Shizuru and slid her hands under the girl's shirt, lifting it over her head. She then yanked her own shirt over her head, causing Shizuru to giggle at her mussed hair. Grinning, Natsuki brought herself closer to Shizuru and lightly ran her fingers over her collarbone, across the tops of her breasts, and down her stomach to the button of the girl's corduroy pants. She flicked it open and let down the zipper, then pushed the pants down and helped Shizuru step out of them. She stepped back to look at Shizuru's underwear-clad form, marveling at her friend's sexiness. Her eyes' exploration halted when she noticed the bruising on Shizuru's arms. That guy must've had a pretty hard grip on her, Natsuki observed, because the bruises were fairly dark. She brought herself close to Shizuru and gingerly lifted one of her arms. "I'm so sorry Shizuru," she whispered as she lightly kissed the bruises, "I should've gotten there sooner, I should've stopped him before he could hurt you." "Natsuki, no, it's not your fault. Please don't place any blame on yourself. Besides, if it wasn't for you who knows what he would have..." Shizuru stopped herself, unable to voice the awfulness that might have transpired. They clung to each other, fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall. "Let's not think about that anymore tonight; I just want to be with you," Shizuru said. Natsuki nodded, her body already starting to react to the feel of Shizuru's skin touching hers. She slid her hands up Shizuru's back, eliciting a shiver from the taller girl, and then undid the clasp of her bra. Letting her fingernails lightly scrape across Shizuru's shoulders, she brought the straps of her bra down her arms and let it fall to the floor. "So beautiful," she murmured as she kissed her way down to Shizuru's breasts. After giving them ample attention and receiving many satisfied moans from Shizuru, Natsuki felt her head being pulled up. "It's my turn," said Shizuru as she pushed Natsuki backwards towards the bed until the backs of her legs hit the mattress. Losing her balance, she fell onto her back and was immediately pounced on by Shizuru. Her jeans were quickly undone and she lifted her hips so Shizuru could slide them off. With that taken care of, Shizuru crawled up Natsuki's body so that they were face-to-face and initiated a passionate kiss. Their tongues battled for supremacy, Shizuru eventually winning out as she let her body lay across Natsuki's, pushing her down into the mattress. When they broke apart, Shizuru sat up, straddling Natsuki's hips. She lovingly caressed Natsuki's cheek with her hand and then moved it down to deftly undo the front clasp on her bra. An appreciative smirk curled her lips as she skillfully fondled and teased the girl's lovely bosom. Unable to resist, she leaned down and kissed Natsuki's breasts, letting her tongue lave over her nipples until the other girl was squirming and panting at the sensations. Moving down Natsuki's body, Shizuru reached her panties and her heart beat faster as she hovered over this unexplored territory. She lightly stroked the center of her dampened panties, watching as Natsuki's thighs trembled at the contact. Hooking her fingers on the sides, she pulled down the undergarment and tossed it over her shoulder to join the rest of their clothes on the floor. Natsuki opened her eyes and looked down just in time to see Shizuru lower her face to her aching center. At the first touch of Shizuru's tongue, Natsuki's mind blanked and she let out a breathy moan of pleasure. And just when she thought nothing could possibly feel better, Shizuru inserted two fingers and began stroking her while sucking on her most sensitive area. The feel of Shizuru's ministrations, combined with the sight of her touching her in the most intimate of ways, brought Natsuki to her first orgasm. Her body shuddered as wave after wave of ecstasy coursed through her, her hips instinctively thrusting into Shizuru's palm. Shizuru watched as she went over the edge, her fingers continuing their assault until Natsuki's walls finished pulsing around her. She withdrew her hand and moved up to hold Natsuki in her arms, loving the sound of Natsuki's labored breathing and the sight of her flushed face. Unable to speak, Natsuki pressed herself further into Shizuru's embrace, the curves of their bodies melting together. They stayed that way for a few minutes, until Natsuki calmed down and was finally able to lift her head to look at the face of her lover. "Shizuru...that was...I...," she fumbled for the words to express how amazing the experience had been for her. "Shhh," Shizuru pressed a finger to her lips, "Just kiss me." Natsuki needed no further encouragement as she leaned in and sealed her mouth against Shizuru's. Natsuki could taste her desire in Shizuru's mouth as their tongues twisted together and it fueled her excitement. She pulled her head from the kiss, their lips making a slight 'pop' as they separated. "Shizuru," she breathed, "let me make love to you." "Yes, please," Shizuru choked out, wanting nothing more than the younger girl's hands and mouth on her. Natsuki moved on top of her and began gently sucking and nibbling on Shizuru's earlobe, smiling as she felt the other girl's body writhe beneath her. She then moved down to her chest, once more tasting the sweet flesh of her breasts while trailing her right hand down to the soft patch of curls between Shizuru's legs. She lightly stroked her womanhood, not exactly sure if she was doing it correctly. Shizuru seemed to approve however, if the pleased noises she was emitting were any indication. Wanting more, she moved to the apex of Shizuru's thighs and removed her panties. Feeling the wetness there with her fingers, she brought them to her lips and tasted Shizuru's desire, surprised at the sweetness she detected. Natsuki then went to work, delving her tongue into Shizuru's folds while stroking her with her fingers. She felt Shizuru thread her fingers through her hair, pulling her closer as she rocked against her mouth. It wasn't long before she felt Shizuru tense, screaming out her name as she reached her release, her body jerking with the force of her orgasm. Resting her head against Shizuru's leg, Natsuki smiled with satisfaction at bringing the other girl to her climax. She felt Shizuru pulling at her, so she moved over her, kissing her deeply and thoroughly before lowering herself to rest against the taller girl's body. They stayed like that for some time, feeling each other's hearts beating and listening to each other breathe. Eventually, Natsuki rolled off to Shizuru's side, taking the other girl's hand and lacing their fingers together. They lay there, looking at each other, in post-coital bliss. Their eyes held a mixture of love, wonderment, and contentedness. "I love you," Natsuki said, giving Shizuru's hand a squeeze. "I love you too," Shizuru replied. Natsuki found it was becoming impossible to keep her eyes open, so she reached down and pulled the covers up over them. Cuddling close together, they shared a final kiss before falling into a deep sleep.
