:

Since it was Sunday, Natsuki had to unfortunately go home shortly after finishing and packing the cookies.

"I'll come around and pick it up tomorrow, what time should I be here in the morning?" Asked Natsuki tying her shoe laces by the front door. Natsuki had changed into her tomboy clothes again, so of course just looking at Natsuki made Yuri blush.

Monika and Sayori said their goodbyes before heading away to the living room, but Yuri stood there looking at Natsuki clearly contimplating something. Natsuki could feel Yuri burning a hole at the back of her head.

"So, I guess this is goodbye, at least until tomorrow?" Said Natsuki turning around to face Yuri while scratching the back of her head. Yuri was silent.

"Natsuki would you mind waiting for me to get changed so I can walk home with you?" Asked Yuri, a little too straight forward. Natsuki was in shock, she did not see this coming.

"U-Uh sure, I-I can wait." Said Natsuki really in no rush to go home.

"Ok, just give me ten minutes!" Said Yuri before running off.

"Wait what?! Yuri your leaving!?" Whined Sayori, yelling so Yuri could hear her from upstairs.

"Sorry Sayori! I just remembered something I have to do!" Shouted Yuri from upstairs, the sound of rustling clothes reaching down the stairs.

"Hey Natsuki an anime called one piece just came on! You wanna watch it while you wait for Yuri?" Asked Monika from the living room.

"Hey Yuri don't worry! You can take your time, there is no rush! You can have a shower if you want!" Yelled Natsuki before joining her friends on the sofa.

"Thank you!" Yelled Yuri, happy because she did want to have a shower.

Yuri made sure to take a quick shower not lasting more then 10 minutes, before getting out of the shower, wrapping her towel around her and sighing at the fact that her breast made the towel barely cover half of her thighs.

She went out of the bathroom and began getting her clothes together so she could get changed, but was interrupted by the sound of buzzing?

Yuri looked around and found Natsukis phone vibrating under her pillow, she was getting a call from someone with no name. There were over 10 missed calls!

"I'll give it back to her once I'm done changing." Said Yuri begining to take off her towel.

Natsuki checked all of her pockets, even the ones on her bag, but could not find her phone anywhere. Just then Natsuki remembered she might have left it the bedroom somewhere, so she got up and headed towards the room. Natsuki assumed Yuri would be changing in the bathroom, so she opened the door and walked in without knocking. Big mistake.

Natsuki's whole face turned blood red as she actually started having a little nose bleed at the sight of what she just saw. Yuri wearing nothing but a towel, that barely covered any of beautiful and mature body. Yuri just stood there frozen and red to the core, she was so embarrassed she couldn't even scream.

"S-SORRY!!!" Yelled Natsuki as she slammed the door shut, wiping her hot bloddyied nose in the hallway, as she ingraved what she just saw into her memory.

'Holy shit her boobs were even bigger then usual! Do she like, slightly chest bind her or something?! Holly shit if I go to hell it was worth it. But...what were all those scars?' thought Natsuki very, very deep in thought.

"I-Its ok Natsuki! W-Were both girls anyways! S-So I guess it doesn't matter..?" Said Yuri, each word getting quieter and quieter.

'That only applies to straight people.' Thought Natsuki crossing her arms.

After that intrusion, Yuri got changed and finished packing as fast as humanly possible.

When she opened the door she was surprised to see Natsuki in the hallway waiting for her, unfortunately neither on them could make eye contact. With all the courage she had, Yuri walked over to Natsuki, faced her and handed Natsuki her phone.

"This is why you came up here, right?" Asked Yuri.

"U-Uh y-yeah, t-thank you Yuri." Said Natsuki taking her phone and putting it into her favourite pocket.

"Oh my gosh Natsuki are you bleeding!?" Asked Yuri as she wiped a little but of blood off of Natsuki's face using her finger tip.

"I-Its fine! Don't worry about it! N-Now c-come on! We should start heading!" Said Natsuki frantically getting away from Yuri, who was so wrapped up in her own little world, that it too Natsuki to call her name just so she would follow.

Yuri was following until she stopped and looked at her index finger, which had some of Natsuki's blood on it...

Yuri licked her lips before putting her finger in her mouth and removing the blood with her tongue, savouring the copper and iron like taste.

"It's sweet..." Said Yuri, barely audible.

"You say something?" Asked Natsuki turning around to look at Yuri.

"N-Nothing, d-don't worry, let's just start heading." Said Natsuki avoiding all eye contact as they finally left the house.

Yuri and Natsuki were walking down the side in complete silence, mainly because they were both deeply thinking about what they were going to do once they got home. Natsuki decided she needed a distraction and broke the silence.

"Hey Yuri, do you chest bind or something? Because I could have sworn your boobs were bigger then usual when I walked in on you." Asked Natsuki, getting the flustered reaction she was hopping for.

"I-I d-don't! I-Its j-just i-if I don't h-have I-It a l-little t-tight, then I can't even walk without them bouncing too much!" Said Yuri using her hair as a wall to hide behind.

"That sounds like it sucks. I wonder why people always boast about it or want big boobs in the first place." Said Natsuki.

"I-I wonder about that too... Hey didn't you say you wanted big boobs a while back?" Said Yuri hoping to get an embarrassing reaction from Natsuki, only to get a small cut blush in return.

"C-Correction! I said I wanted boobs! Not big boobs, so I can attract people who aren't lolicons and not suffocate myself evreytime I lay on my back!" Said Natsuki crossing her arms, defensively.

It didn't take much longer until they reached the point where they had to take separate roads.

"Well I guess this is goodbye?" Said Yuri with a sad smile

"Yeah, until tomorrow." Said Natsuki also with a sad smile.

They both began walking but only managed to take a few steps before they both froze in fear, no wanting to go home. They stood there practically shaking at the mere thought of their future torcher. Natsuki turned to Yuri and saw the same distressed face she had.

"H-Hey Yuri, you wouldn't happen to have the time would you?" Asked Natsuki, vissable sweat going down her face.

"I-It's half passed five, why?" Asked Yuri.

"Perfect! All the shops are still open for like another five hours! I still have some money left over, wanna come and get something to eat with me? I don't know about you but I'm a little peckish after skipping lunch." Smiled Natsuki, flashing her infamous canines. Yuri's face lit up with joy and hope.

"I-I c-could go for a cup of coffee." Said Yuri.

"Ew! You actually drink that bitter cup of piss?" Joked Natsuki with a scrunched up face.

"I take it you don't like coffee then." Sighed Yuri not surprised.

"The real question is how can you like it??" Genuinely asked Natsuki. Neither of them realised they started to walk side by side, heading to the high street.

"Wait you were serious about getting a coffee?" Said Natsuki in a 'are you serious' tone.

"W-Well yes. Y-your the one who offered right?" Said Yuri.

"Uuuugh! I hate it when you make sense!" Groaned Natsuki.

"Do you go to this place often?" Asked Natsuki as her and Yuri walked into the café.

"Yeah, I like the coffee here." Smiled Yuri. Yuri told Natsuki what she wanted and went to sit down on an empty table with two nice black leather chairs opposite each other. She pulled out a book from her bag while she waited for Natsuki, because Yuri noticed how long the cue was.

She had been reading for around ten minutes or so when she felt some hands tap on the table. She looked up from her book and saw two men she had never seen before, smiling creepily. Yuri had been through this enough times to know what came next, and no matter how many times it happened, she could never get used to the flirting.

"C-Can I help you?" Politely asked Yuri closing her book and neatly placing it on her lap.

"Yes actually, there I something I need, could you help me?" Said a man, probably in his early twenties with short red hair. The man next to him just smiled but looked around the same age, only he had long black hair in a ponytail.

"D-Depends what you need help with." Said Yuri dreading what came next.

"Could I get your number hot stuff~?" Said the red head, out of embarrassment Yuri grew a small blush.

"S-Sorry but, I can't help you there" Politely said Yuri trying to let him down easy.

"Oh come on, just give us your number, it won't hurt~" said the black haired guy.

"Yeah come on~" said the red head clearly being too pushy, and they were getting way to close.

"L-Like I already said, I-I can't help you. P-Please leave me alone!" Said Yuri waving her hands up in the air a little to defend herself. The two guys were about to say something but we're interrupted.

"Who the fuck are you guys?" Bluntly said Natsuki standing behind them holding the tray with all their beverages. Yuri smiled in relief. The two boys turned around to face Natsuki.

"Who the fuck are you?" Said the black haired one in a melancholy voice.

"Yeah, your kinda interrupting something here." Said the red head guy waving his hand for for Natsuki to go away.

"Actually your the ones interrupting something here. Leave Yuri alone and piss off already, she's clearly not interested." Said Natsuki pushing past them and placing the tray on the table before sitting down opposite Yuri.

"Oh man, sorry dude, we didn't know this chick was yours." Said the red head.

"Yeah our bad, good luck you lucky son of a bitch." Said the black haired one giving Natsuki a thumbs up before walking away with his friend and left the shop. Yuri and Natsuki just stared blankly at each other, completely confused on what just happened.

"What the heck was that?" Asked Natsuki opening her juice bottle.

"I haven't the faintest idea."said Yuri picking up her coffee cup and taking a sip.

"Natsuki, did you really get juice?" Said Yuri amused.

"So what if I did?" Said Natsuki.

"Sorry it's just, you could have got anything else like a hot chocolate, or something more special, but you chose fruit juice?" Said Yuri now giggling a little.

"Yeah duh, the hot chocolate here is shit, the smoothies are all bad combinations, the ice fruit flavoired things never have enough flavouring and I hate coffee. At least they have decent juice though." Pouted Natsuki.

"Gosh Natsuki, you really are childish." Teased Yuri with a grin.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Snapped Natsuki putting her juice down on the table with a thud.

"I never said It was a bad thing, I'm just saying it's a little funny is all." Giggled Yuri. Natsuki just huffed and leaned back into her chair crossing her arms. Yuri then gently placed down her cup on the table.

"Hey Natsuki, thank you for helping me back there with those men." Said Yuri quietly.

"Did you know them or something?" Asked Natsuki. Yuri shook her head no.

"They were just...f-flirting. No matter how many times it happens to me, I never get used to it..." Said Yuri looking down at her hands on her laps, her voice growing quiet.

.

"Wait, does that happen often?" Asked Natsuki, rage starting to build up from deep within..

"Well it happens sometimes, I can recall a few times it would have gone bad, but my brother helped me..." Said Yuri drifting off, becoming deep in thought.

"He sounds like a cool guy your brother, mind telling me a bit about him?" Asked Natsuki, recognising the look of want to share thoughts all over Yuri's face.

"Well, last time I saw him, he was a whole head space taller then me. He always had his raven coloured hair cut short and he has natural curls from my mother's side, so it always looked wavy in a way. Hehe, he always hated it, but if he cut it too short his hair would like like a badly moed lawn and if it was too long his hair would take hours to brush becacuse of how thick it was! The amount of times I had to pull out a hairbrush that was tangled in his hair was way too many!" Giggled Yuri at the memory. Natsuki couldn't help but smile.

'Huh, I guess after all he's done, she still cares about him.' Thought Natsuki.

"You know Natsuki, sometimes you remind me a lot of him." Said Yuri deeply thinking about something while looking down at her lap.

"How come?" Asked Natsuki not sure if that was a compliment or not.

"He was obsessed with anime too, always got super defensive whenever I'd say it was stupid or childish. Iust admit, he was short tempered too, but at least he was always honest about his emotions...at least that's what I thought, until..." Yuri froze, unable to continue.

"Until he became a pussy and ran away, leaving you behind to clean up his mess." Bluntly said Natsuki. Yuri stared at her wide eyed.

"I'm sure he is a nice guy, but if he ever comes back, don't think twice about making him own up to all the shit he did. Your nice Yuri, so I'd bet you'd let him go with a light slap on the wrist. I'm not saying don't forgive him, you can do that just remember to give him a black eye or a broker arm, so he learns his lesson." Said Natsuki with confidence clenching her fist. Yuri had a look of worry before she started to giggle like an angel.

"Yeah, I guess your right." Said Yuri.

"Heh, you know Natsuki, no one has ever given me advice quite like that before." Said Yuri.

"Would you have preferred I made it sound like something complicated from a fortune cookie? If so all I need to do is quote Kung Fu Panda." Said Natsuki crossing her arms.

"Pffff! Really?! Haha! What would you have quoted?!" Asked Yuri curious..

"Dunno, it's not like there's a to these things." Said Natsuki smirking and winking. Yuri had an unimpressed expression plastered on her face.

"Come on, you and I both know that was a good one!" defended Natsuki.

After finishing up, Yuri was following Natsuki to a part of town she had never seen before. It took a while, but eventually they stopped at an entrance to a park.

"Why are we here?" Asked Yuri.

"You'll see..." Said Natsuki with an evil smirk.

"...are you going to kill me?" Genuinely asked Yuri.

"In a way yes, but I wouldn't worry." Said Natsuki, still smirking. Yuri gulped and followed her into the public park, along a path made with many loose pebbles, surrounded by a sea of freshly cut grass.

The park had many small hills with the occasional tree and many separate lakes connected by small rivers that had bridges going over all of them. It looked like the kind of place a hobbit would live in. There was an outside play area for kids, but a majority of the park was empty with a few benches and bins here and there. Overall, nothing but piece and tranquility inside this park.

"Natsuki, why are we here? I'm still not convinced your not going to kill me." Said Yuri.

"Chill out Yuri, why would I kill you in broad day light, in the open area with loads of witnesses?" Asked Natsuki stretching her arms a little as she walked.

"First of all, there aren't that many witnesses, and second that only makes me think your leading me some place where you can kill me." Said Yuri, smiling jokingly.

"*Gasp!* You have foiled my plans!" Sarcastically gasped Natsuki turning to face Yuri putting a hand on her mouth overdramaticly. This made Yuri giggle a bit.

Yuri gulped once Natsuki lead her to a secret path that was hidden by several bushes and trees, along with some old remains of what used to be a stone wall. Yuri considered asking where they were going, but up until now Natsuki had done nothing but avoid answering it, so she stayed quiet and continued to follow her pink haired friend.

It wasn't long until they walked through a parting between the tees and stopped at a giant opening with a large pond that had a big old fallen tree along it, however it still had its roots planted in the ground, signifying it was still alive. Natsuki then began climbing it and walking out towards the middle of the lake.

"Natsuki what are you doing?!" Asked Yuri worried for Natsukis safety.

"Sorry, do you need help getting up here?" Asked Natsuki genuinely being kind, no sarcasm as she helped her hand out for Yuri take.

"Ok now I'm really worried your going to kill me." Said Yuri a she took Natsuki's hand and was pulled into the fallen tree.

"Take a chill pill, you'll see why in a minute, I'm a regular here, so they'll recognise me." Said Natsuki smiling happily. Yuri was just confused.

They walked a little further along the humongous tree and sat down once they were a little further in the lake, the whole time Yuri clinging onto Natsuki's hand out of fear. The tree was so big they could both dangle their legs over the side and not touch the water. Just then Yuri watched in shock as Natsuki randomly pulled out a loaf of bread from her bag.

"Where in earth did you get that?!" Asked Yuri in shock. Natsuki shrugged.

"Meh, I stole it from Monika's kitchen." Said Natsuki shrugging. Yuri gasped.

"Natsuki you stole it?!" Said Yuri in shock.

"She won't miss it! Monika had a whole cabinet filled with this stuff!" Said Natsuki as she opened it and threw a ripped off piece of bread in the water. Yuri moved her gaze to see where Natsuki threw the bread, only to feel her heart melt. Right in front of them were seven cute little ducklings and their parents. Yuri clenched her chest.

"See why I brought you here now?" Said Natsuki with a warm smile as she carried on feeding the ducks small bits of bread. Yuri nodded.

'I must have missed them from the fear of falling in the water.' thought Yuri.

"C-Can I feed them too?" Quietly asked Yuri afraid Natsuki would say no.

"Of course, why else would I have brought you here?" Said Natsuki laughing at Yuri's ignorance as she handed her crush a few slices of bread. The more they fed the ducks, the more came, until there were around twenty or so. Luckily the ducks were smart enough not to approach them and stayed at distance.

"You know I usually come here when I need to think, no matter what time of year it is, it's always pieceful..." Said Natsuki, remembering how her family used to come here during much betted and happier days.

"I should come here more often, but I've never been to this part of the park before. I didn't even know it existed untill now." Said Yuri throwing another small piece of bread in the water.

"That's probably because I showed you the secret entrance through the trees to this out of bounds area." Calmly said Natsuki.
