She is my Master!
Two
Natsuki Kuga felt herself finally relax as she presented herself in front of the class. "My name is Natsuki Kuga," she bowed, her black hair flowing down, "I just transferred here from Tokyo, I hope we can all get along."
Chie Harada looked intrigued as she called out a question, "Are you the one who got kicked out of the dorms for shooting a gun?"
"It was just a air gun," Natsuki said defensively, "and there was a freakin' pervert looking in the window at me."
"Yes, yes," the homeroom teacher waved Natsuki to a seat as he called out. "Next?"
Mai Tokhia entered after Natsuki, the busty redhead drawing a few sighs and whistles. She introduced herself and the teacher nodded tiredly as Mai added, "I hope that you all will watch over me!"
"Awww!" Aoi Senoh nodded, smiling. She got the feeling that Mai was going to fit in to the class just fine.
'Thank god the school uniforms aren't too fetishy,' Natsuki thought with a sigh as Mai took the seat beside her.
All weekend Mai and Natsuki had stayed over with Shizuru, getting used to their new duties in exchange for room and board. Natsuki didn't object to the arrangement, it was pretty fair after all, but what she did object to were the various maid outfits.
There was the skirt and corset outfit they started with. Then Shizuru produced a frilly skirt and stockings version in classic black and white. After that she had them try on a third version cut so low in the front Mai nearly popped out of them!
And all the time Shizuru had watched with that unreadable smile, her red tinted eyes dancing with amusement. 'And why does she always seem to be staring at me?' Natsuki mentally groaned, 'It's not like I have a body like Mai's...'
"All right, class," the homeroom teacher pushed up his loosely handing tie, "our usual history professor is ill, but the school was able to obtain a substitute. She hasn't had much experience but I hope you'll welcome her."
Natsuki really wasn't paying too much attention until she heard a familiar voice say, "Ara ara, what pretty students."
'Urk!' Natsuki's head jerked up as she saw Shizuru Fujino looking over the class with barely restrained amusement, dressed in a business suit that probably cost several times her daily wages.
Shizuru had that unreadable smile on her face as she swept the class with her eyes. "Well," she said warmly, "according to the professor's notes, you were on page 215." She looked around, "Could Ms... Kuga read this part?"
Natsuki put a natural smile on her face, despite wanting to hit someone. Pulling out the right text she began to read...
Shizuru leaned against the teacher's desk as she watched Natsuki read, fighting back a smile. Natsuki was so adorable when she fought back a annoyed pout, it left Shizuru tempted to annoy her even more. 'No, I'd better not,' she thought regretfully.
She picked a few more students to read, and Shizuru also noticed more than a few interested gazes. The boys were understandable, of course, but she was rather amused at the number of young women checking her out. The boyish Chie was especially noticing her curves... until her classmate Aoi hit her in the back of the head.
As the class ran down Shizuru sauntered over to Natsuki's desk. "By the way, Natsuki?" Shizuru smiled sweetly.
Natsuki looked up at her with what could almost be described as a hunted expression on her face, "Yes?"
Cheerfully Shizuru told her, "Natsuki, you forgot to pick up your lunch this morning. Do you want to share one with me?"
Natsuki went bright red as every student's envious gaze fell on her. "I was going to buy a lunch today," she answered with a blush, "but thank you."
"But I made you a homemade lunch," Shizuru pouted cutely. Just then the bell signalling end of class rang. "See me at lunch, all right?" Shizuru smiled as she collected her books and headed to the next class she had to teach, "Have a nice day, Mai."
"You too, Shizuru," Mai said with a chuckle.
Once Shizuru was gone, a good clump of the class gathered around Natsuki. "She's such a babe!" Tate Yuuichi exclaimed, "How do you know her, Kuga?"
Natsuki grit her teeth, "She's my landlady."
Chun Mei looked at Natsuki admiringly as the black haired girl noted admiringly, "You're so lucky!"
Natsuki muttered, "That's what you think."
Aoi Senou had a rather confused look on her face as she mused, "She looks like the very model of a Japanese lady."
Chie wisely decided not to comment on that. "Are the rumors about her true?" she asked Natsuki, "Is she keeping you as her love slave?"
"WHAT?" Natsuki yelped.
"You didn't know?" Miyu Greer asked, her light blue hair falling straight down her neck, "When Miss Fujino attended here, there was a scandal involving her and a woman teacher."
"Yup," Chie nodded, "it's a pretty widely known story. The teacher always claimed Shizuru seduced her..."
"That is the rumor," Midori Suguura agreed, the young teacher smiling wryly at the gathered students.
"Miss Midori!" several students jumped as they scrambled to their desks.
Midori laughed, "Aww, I wanted to hear more." She headed to the front of the class, "All right, I'm covering for maths this week, so..."
Natsuki found the class dragging as they hurried towards lunch, the young woman pointedly ignoring the envious looks she got from her classmates. 'Shizuru is a lesbian?' Natsuki found herself wondering. It certainly explained a few of the looks she gave Natsuki, but...
"Natsuki!" Mai poked her in the side.
"Miss Kuga?" Midori looked amused as Natsuki started. "Could you finish this equasion?" she asked, tapping the chalk board.
Natsuki blushed as she walked up to the board, "Yes ma'am." Mentally she sighed, 'Lunch can't come soon enough.'
Once the lunch bell rang Natsuki got up. Mai smiled at her, "Chie and Aoi invited me to share lunch with them. Say hi to Shizuru for me."
"Right," Natsuki said as she stomped out of the room.
Mai along with much of the class ended up in the Fuka Academy cafeteria, a building that reminded Mai more of a high class cafe than a school facility. The interior was air and lit by reflected sunlight, the tables were clean and the staff warm and friendly.
"Thanks for coming to eat with us," Chie said with a warm smile.
"You're welcome," Mai answered honestly.
Aoi unsnapped her chopsticks as she smirked. "Chie is used to being the one stop gossip shop at Fuka," she noted, "which is why she can't ask how you know Miss Fujino."
"Aoi," Chie blushed. She looked apologetically at Mai, "I was going to ask later."
Mai laughed softly as she said, "It's okay." She slurped some of her soup then explained, "We're renting rooms from her." Mai decided to skip over the whole maid thing... it was too complicated to go over quickly anyway.
"Really?" Aoi looked disappointed. "I was hoping the love slave rumor was true after all," she pouted cutely.
Mai snickered, "Sorry, but I'm pretty much straight."
Chie sipped her drink then asked, "And Natsuki?"
That question made Mai hesitate for a moment, thinking. "That's a good question," she admitted as she ate. Both Aoi and Chie gave her a look and Mai shrugged, "Fujino has walked in on our bathing one or twice... Natsuki may bitch but she didn't cover herself that fast, if you know what I mean."
"Saying no, no when you really mean yes, yes," Aoi nodded wisely. She gave Chie a devilish look as she murmured, "We've played that game before."
Chie blushed furiously as Mai smirked.
