Song Bird

The Natsuki Arc

By xYuki

Chapter 1

To Stupid To Die
Her once pure white shirt was now crimson red, dyed with her own blood. But her pants sadly met the same face. The blood trickled down to her denim jeans, and stayed like glue.

The knife used to injure her bounced off as soon as it hit the bone, and propelled itself onto the ground, poised upwards with the handle like excalibur poised up on bear rock. It’s blade smeared with blood of the righteous, and once held by a vengeful hand.

“Natsuki... we left our cell phones are your place.” Nao said scared out of her mind. They had all forgotten about the brunette, who had left wordlessly.

“Shit... well I ain’t dying yet. We should get me to Youko-sensei.” Natsuki grunted struggling to get up. She shrugged Nao away from her and trudged herself to stand and take a few steps. She didn’t get far before falling down. Nao raced over to her injured lover and draped Natsuki’s free arm around her shoulder and helped her stand. Though due to the height difference, Natsuki was crouching slightly.

“You... are lighter then you look.” Nao said trying not to laugh. The current situation didn’t need her stupid remarks.

“Heh...” Natsuki mumbled as she tried to focus her free eye.

Her right hand covered the right eye trying to keep the flow of blood low. But the blood that rushed out, spread all over her beautiful face. Lush streams of Natsuki’s life force ran freely through the cracks of her hand. A river of blood was rushing down over he left in a slow manner, thus obstructing what ever free vision she had left.

“You ain’t gonna die on me yet, are ya?” Nao asked as they made their way to the school slowly. Nao put on a strong grin, but the look on her eyes... she wanted to cry. She wanted to be weak... she just wanted to cry.

“Hey don’t you listen?” Natsuki grunted as she summed up her will power to stand up straight and pushed away from Nao’s support once again. She took a few more steps, follow by some more. She managed to stabilize herself, with some swaying. “I ain’t dying yet.”

Natsuki took a few more independent steps, before losing her will to go on. She stopped walking and hunched over a bit. A grin was plastered on her face. The rivers of blood running down freely became larger.

“Natsuki!” Nao shouted angrily as she made a dash for the gap that was between them. Tears started to run down her face as she made her way to the injured wolf pack leader. “God dammit, you’re stupider then you look to!” Nao yelled as she grabbed her lovers left arm and threw it over her shoulders. She then wrapped her right arm around the older girl’s waist, as she held onto her left.

“Nao... you might as well... get to that damned alcoholic’s office on your own...” Natsuki mumbled out of breath. Her eyes started to close, but then shoot back open. Her breathing became erratic, as her body got colder. “Go!”

Nao stood there unable to speak. She didn’t want to leave her there, actually... there was no way in hell she’d ever leave her here. Though if one thinks rationally at the current moment, one would know that leaving the injured person where she is, and running for help would be better, and faster. But Nao was never really one to think rationally.

“Ok.” Nao grumbled. This was going against every moral she had... but her instincts were kicking in.

She set Natsuki down slowly, making sure not to make the older girl move to quickly. The flow of blood was rather scary, but one has to persevere for love... right?

Natsuki grunted as pain shot up from the wound, quickly grabbing onto Nao’s hand for support. Her breathing be came forced. Inhale, exhale, inhale... exhale... in...hale... ex... hale. Her breathing was slowing down dramatically.

“Oh God... Natsuki you better not be dead by the time I come back, or I’ll kill you myself!” Nao exclaimed to the injured wolf.

She pulled herself away from the scene, running as fast as she could. The school wasn’t that far away. Just a few more feet and she was in. A quick turn and se was at the doctor’s office. ‘I can make it.’

Change of View

‘How the hell did this happen?’ I thought. ‘I had to keep my mind of the pain by thinking... ok but thinking of the doesn’t help.’ It hurt to think to.

My head was throbbing, and felt like it was on fire, but yet it felt cold. I was losing blood fast, to fast for my comfort. I removed my hand from my wound and looked. My hand was red, covered all over with my own blood.

‘I didn’t know I had this much...’ grimacing I laid on the ground unable to do any other action. I didn’t feel it necessary to keep my hand covering the wound. It was all the same really. Blood goes out, and doesn’t stop. Hand there just makes a pool.

‘I’ve always wondered if I had enough blood to fill a pool, and not die.’ I thought as I started to laugh out of no where. ‘The fuck did that come from?’ I grumbled at the silence surrounding me. “Ok I’m officially losing it. First I’m thinking to myself, and now... I’m aware of it. Woow.” I said to break the silence.

Like a train through a tunnel... I bucked up grasping the wound. The jolt of pain felt like an eternity. The stinging pain was something I had never felt before. Shot, stabbed, slashed, and tackled to the ground by a foot ball player, were all sensations I’ve felt before. But this is something new.

“Nao...” I gasped, struggling to maintain my consciousness. I arched my back forward, as I hung my head low. I could still feel the blood drip down, much slower then before, but all the same feel.

Flashback
It was a dark and gloomy day today. Yet it seemed symbolic to me. I stood over you, watching you with an apathetic stare. You called out my name several times. Each sounding more desperate each time. I couldn’t stand to see you like this anymore.

I turned around and started to walk away. I heard you scream out my name and begging me to come back. But I couldn’t stay any longer. There are some things that you should never want. I’m one of those things.

Looking back I saw that you stayed in the spot I left you in. You had your head hung low, and hugging yourself from either cold or pain. Your quiet sobs drowned out in the torrential rain. My ears where numb to your voice, but I knew you were still calling out to me.

You were out of sight... but not out of mind. I looked up at the sky remorsefully. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked down. I let out a heavy sigh as I let my mind wander off to you, and just like that my body started to move on its own.

I turned heel and took a deep breath as I ran back to you. The sound of my foot steps against the rain matched my heart. Each step sounded louder, much like each beat. My breaths became shorter as my body became exhausted. Running against the wind and rain, not to mention the traction was horrible, really took it out of me.

I was getting closer and closer to where I left you. I stopped once again, out of breath and weary. You still sat on the cold went cement crying softly. My breathing became steady as I watched you. I could see my own breath every time I exhaled. It was cold, spring shower.

Shaking my head of all other thoughts I dashed over to you. You heard my foot steps and looked at me.

The rain had soaked you to the bone. You looked at me pleadingly as if begging for an answer. Your stare lingered on me like a small, but noticeable thread. You rubbed your eyes cutely, and blinked three times to check if your vision was correct. I walked over to you, and knelt down. I smiled at you the only way my heart would let me.

I reached out to you and brushed away some of the hair that clung onto your beautiful face due to the rain. Your clothes were soaking wet and clinging onto your slim form. The very form I dream about every night... Your white tank top was see through, giving me a nice view of your bra and cleavage... I might have loved the view, but my mind was some where else.

“I’m glad I found you! I’m so sorry I left you. I really am, please forgive me?” I pleaded. The look in your eyes wanted to believe me, but something was holding you back. I smiled at you apologetically. You closed your eyes shut looking away, as you bit your lower lip.

My smile started to falter as the seconds passed by with out reaction. I felt slightly dejected at your cold reaction. I figured you wouldn’t budge, so I gave up. I ran my hand through your rain stricken hair. I sadly let go, losing the warmth and feeling the cold nipping of the water pellets.

I stood up and back away from you, walking backwards slowly so I could at least see you before leaving. I turned around thinking that I’ve captured your image into my mind. Engraving it in stone... the sight of you crying in the rain.

I heard foot steps coming from behind me. I turned around quickly and watched as you ran straight into my arms. I was surprised at first, but standing here with you... felt all to right. I encircled you as tightly as I could. Cherishing every moment I had you in my embrace.

End Flashback
“I’m getting sleepy...” I mumbled to myself, leaning forward. I didn’t have enough energy to sit up straight anymore, I wanted to lie down.

My vision was getting blurry. My left eye kept closing, and opening. I finally allowed myself to lull into a conscious, yet unconscious sleep. My body ached, and I felt so cold... I want someone to hold me... ‘Nao.’

I heard voices calling out to me, but I didn’t move. No, I couldn’t move. My body was numb to all sensations. I felt heat though, I felt warm hands grasping my own.

“N-Nao...” I mumbled weakly. I looked at you thought my periphery. Your face was as beautiful as always, but a frown marred it. Keeping it away from your usual perfection. “Smile for me, Nao...” I asked, willing myself to smile.

“I wouldn’t find the will to...” you replied sadly. “Ok, Youko-sensei call for an ambulance... it’ll be here soon. Hang on for me ok?” You gripped my hand tightly as you looked at me.

“Who do you think you’re talking to?” I asked you getting some of my strength back. I cracked a weak grin. You looked at me with a quirked eye brow, and a confused look. “I’m Kuga Natsuki... and I’m to stupid to die.”

“Baka...” you grumbled, as you started to giggle. You smiled at me due to the laughter. I freed my hand from your own slowly. “Huh?”

I cupped your cheek with my bloody hand and said, “Thank you, for smiling for me.” I felt myself slipping from your skin, as my hand fell to your side. “Thank you...”

My world went dark, but the image that stayed in my mind’s eyes... was you.
There you have it. :3 The first chapter of the new Arc. I’m pretty sure you guys are going to be pissed at me for not explaining my reasoning for this.

Ok, as you can see I made Oh My Juliet as the Nao arc. If anyone noticed, everything was pretty much about Nao. My plot goes through a lot of people, and most of it wouldn’t fit with the Oh My Juliet, title.

:X So the same thing will happen to the Song Bird, this is a Natsuki arc. I think this’ll be the last one to.
ReviewsTakayelie - :X I never said it was the end. It’s just the end of the Nao Arc, not the story itself.

Thepillows93 - o.o It’s neither the end, nor a cliff hanger. And as you can see... I did.

Uchiha-chan - I never meant it as a a cliff hanger. Just the end of an arc. :X Oh My Juliet is over, but the entire story itself is not.
O.o No one got the genius of my idea. Sigh. I might just stop Song Bird here... I really would like some replies, saying that they want it to go on. Cause I'm slightly confused about this right now.
