I'm working on "The Guardian of My Heart" okay? The next chapter is soon finished. I just had to get this out of my system. It's a one-shot so don't really expect a continuation. It's based on a dream I had so it wasn't really these two. Hope you enjoy it though!

Third persons point of view

-"Talking"

Shizuru's thoughts

Disclaimer: Nothing to own just something to share!

A chestnut beauty entered the stage. Thousands of thousands of fans were shrieking of excitement. Blinding spotlights were focused singly on her, just like a pair of emerald ones were. A hunter's eyes unyieldingly focusing on its prey. Standing in a corner leaning against the wall with her arms folded. A stern expression etched giving of a fearful impression saved for the slight smile that grew bigger for each passing second.

It was her first performance tonight here in this city. She was thrilled to perform. She was used to being in the center of attraction so she was enjoying every minute, otherwise the attention would be because of her rare natural eye color but now it was only because of her talent. Something she was good at and not something she was born with. This was her talent and it was earned after much hard work. Feeling the buzz in the air and hearing the screams from fans fueled her with even more positive energy. Would anything feel better than this? Still this would not hold for the rest of her life. Would she want to spend the rest of her life with people who worshipped her but knew nothing else? Would any know how she looked when she was sick? Would any make her feel really special? Would she be content with this? She snapped out of her thoughts when her manager tapped on her shoulder to inform that is was time for her to enter the stage. She nodded and headed for the stage. The step before entering she stopped to collect her thoughts and taking a deep breath reassuring her that she would give an excellent performance as always.

She was greeted with roars of happiness and several items thrown on-stage, it could be anything like flowers and underwear. People were creative in this area. Something was feeling different tonight, in a positive way. She was feeling bubbly over her entire body and she was feeling observed. An intense gaze she gladly welcomed, without reason. It could be anyone. She did not know who it belonged to and yet it made it even more exhilarating. She continued her concert and finally before the last song she spotted a black dressed person in the dark corner. She could not distinguish any face features but clearly it belonged to a female, a very handsome one too. It would seem like she had just got off work since the tie was loosely hanging around her neck, but oh did it look good anyway! She was inwardly smiling at her discovery so she quickly stuck her head backstage and called one of the guards over.

-"Excuse me, can you be so kind and escort the female standing in the corner backstage when this is over?"

-"Of course, Miss Fujino. But may I ask for what reason? Has she offended you in any way? I will immediately-"

-"No no no...nothing of that sort. I just..."

Why do I want to meet her?

The guard was staring at her with a puzzled expression.

-"Could you just be kind and accomplish it?"

-"Yes, Miss Fujino, right away!"

-"Thank you."

She gave one of her most polite smiles and the guard just stuttered something in reply. Happy and eager to finally meet this mysterious foreigner she happily went back on-stage to perform one last song.

The walk back to her assigned room seemed longer than ever. She had to stop numerous times to greet and thank the staff for a great job done. It was something expected but she wished to have passed it tonight since more important matters were left. Maybe not important but definitely the event she was looking forward to the most. When she finally arrived she could feel how sweaty her hands seemed and suddenly she got very self-cautious. Did her hair look okay? Was she too sweaty? Were her clothes wrinkly? Did she need to redo her make-up? She shook her head and told herself to simply open the door and get on with it. Inside she was greeted with a very relaxed cobalt woman. Sitting with her legs crossed and a mysterious aura seemed to surround her. She smiled at Shizuru making her blush.

Pull yourself together! You should not be blushing at a fan, it should be the opposite. But then how come it isn't so?

-"Good evening! I am Fujino Shizuru."

-"I know that much. It is an honor to finally meet you although it really wasn't necessarily going to these lengths."

Shizuru was confused. She did not understand what the visitor was implying. She was too distracted with every feature of the unknown woman sitting in the room that she failed to notice that she was actually tied up to the chair.

Oh...I agree it really was not necessarily.

-"I apologize. My staff tends to be a bit overprotective of my well being that they may have overstepped it."

-"It's okay, Miss Fujino-"

-"Shizuru!"

The raven woman seemed surprised over the sudden outburst but then so was Shizuru.

Why do I act like this? I do not usually behave this way.

-"Uh, Shi-Shizuru...if I knew I could have met you in personal like this I would have done it sooner."

The unfamiliar person chuckled and it was a soothing sound for our mesmerized singer. She did not even notice that she was staring. When she finally had comprehended what was being said her face flushed red yet again.

I like the way my name sound.

-"I admit that it can be quite a sight but can you please untie me? It's not so comfortable like this."

-"Huh? Yes, of course!"

She hurried over and reached behind to untie the knots making their cheeks touch. The stranger turned her head slightly to the right and murmured.

-"Mmm...you have a nice scent."

Her hot breath tickled Shizuru's ear making her jump at the sudden warmth and when she finally understood what she said it was followed by a deep blush.

-"Th-thank you."

Her hands were shaking and her breath became ragged. She was perplexed over her own behavior. After a while struggling with the knot she managed. She slowly backed her head and their lips were so close. For the first time she looked into those green pools that caught her attention earlier and she wanted to drown in them. Her heart was beating in her ears making it hard to focus. Their lips inched closer but none knew who started. Then the door was slammed open and her manager was standing there. Being the overprotective he started to panic.

-"Oh, my god! Shizuru did she hurt you? I'll call security right away!"

-"No, wait! There is really no need for such measurements."

-"But, Shizuru, darling don't be afraid I'll protect you so don't worry-"

The anonymous visitor was getting annoyed when they were talking about her instead of talking directly to her when she was right there.

-"I can assure you that I have treated her with nothing but respect, sir. So there is really no need for you to get all worked up. In fact...I was just about to leave."

The offended guest silently excused herself and headed towards the exit. Without thinking Shizuru chased after, leaving a baffled manager behind, she could care less about it right now. She had to stop the stranger from leaving.

Why do I feel the need to stop her from leaving? What is this feeling?

-"Please wait..."

I don't even know her name.

Thankfully she still turned around and looked surprised in seeing Shizuru running after her. Her face cracked up in a smile.

-"What can I do for you, Shizuru?"

The way her name rolled off the blue haired woman made her feel all giddy again.

"I just...I simply wanted to...I mean..."

I am turning into one of those stuttering fools...someone help me.

-"C-can I have your ph-phone number?"

Wonderful, Shizuru. Now you seem like the stalker.

The amused woman just laughed.

-"I was going to ask you but I suspected that I wouldn't get your real number so I refrained from asking."

-"I am insulted!"

Shizuru made a dramatic gesture with her hand at her chest faking insulted which made the her laugh again.

-"Fair enough, I guess I deserved that one. Then maybe you have too many cell phones so I wouldn't be able to reach you."

-"Do not worry I can guarantee that I only have one cell phone. It would be more convenient if I called you since I have a more busy schedule not that it indicates that you have no life...what I mean is that-"

-"Calm down and breath. I understand what you're saying so no worries, okay?"

Smooth move Shizuru...really smooth.

-"I will call you as soon as possible."

Desperate in showing her sincerity she made sure to look straight into the unfamiliar persons eyes, unwavering. The woman must have sensed it and smiled assuring Shizuru that she understood the message.

-"I look forward to it."

The smiling woman then turned around and made a salute gesture with her hand and proceeded walking.

-"Goodbye, Shizuru."

-See you later..."

...stranger.

Okay, so maybe you want to know more but I don't have more cause I wanted this dream to continue because it was so mysterious but then I just had to wake up so I was disappointed too, you know? But hey don't stop that from reviewing, 'kay? I do hope I managed to make it as mysterious as I thought it was and somehow made you feel what I felt.
