A/N: So i've decided to change the pairing to Haruka/Usagi coz Michiru doesn't suit the character... Well, this is my first attempt on this pairing so be gentle with me! haha...
Disclaimer: Okay, this time, I must put a disclaimer as none of the things you find in the story belongs to me. Even the story plot belongs to a local famous comic artist Ben. You guys who are from Malaysia should know about him, don't you? This story is one of his earlier work, "The Fishes". I only changed a tiny bit of his story to make it flow better! By the way, I'm like a huge fan of his!
And oh, italics are all Haruka's thought, or narrating…
I can't believe, this long lost feeling had made their way back to my heart. It all started at that particular morning… I finally got my lazy ass out of my couch and started to do my delivering job again; living a life of a normal human being again.
"Shit, problem again!" A tall blonde muttered to herself. "This is the 5th time of the week!"
In this world we live in nowadays, don't even think of living alone… You could never survive to the last day. We as humans should help each other, and that's what I'm waiting for… A passerby to help me with my stupid car problem again.
It was then a girl with long aquamarine hair passed by behind her, stopping her scooter right before the blonde's car. The racer didn't even bothered to look at her; she was concentrating on repairing her car. "Damn, if I won't be able to repair this pile of dirt, these deliveries would…" She trailed off as she felt a light pat on her back.
"Excuse me, mister…" She looked back and saw her. Her eyes widen as memories of her past flowed into her mind. "My scooter just broke down for no reason. Could you assist me here, please?" Her voice was like the voice of an angel sent by Jesus himself. The shorter figure smiled.
This look… Her look made me remember someone from my past, a past which never left my heart…
"…" The blonde remained silent. Not that she minded someone calling her as a guy but there was something about this girl…
"Sorry, mister… But I just want to borrow these tools of yours to repair my scooter…" The stranger quickly said after realizing his response.
"O-Ok, just take whatever you need." She replied, her eyes still not leaving the girl as if her beauty had absorbed her soul. The other girl just smiled and nodded in a word of thanks.
Time seemed to pass even faster than usual. My morning was all spent in repairing my car, and of course meeting to a girl like her.
"Glad that you've repaired yours…" She turned around upon hearing the other girl voiced out. "I can't repair mine. Ano… In fact I couldn't repair at all… But I'm late for school, can I ask you for one tiny bit of favour?" The blonde sighed at the other's childish action.
"I'm all right, if you're not afraid to take a stranger's car."
"Hontouni arigatou!" She giggled. "I knew you would help me!"
"But before that I need you to help me with something." She looked at her own two hands. They were all stained with oil. "My hands… Can you help me to take my water out from the car?"
"Oh, and I thought what you were going to ask from me." She tucked her hair behind her ears. "Of course I can help you with that. Eto… Where's the key?"
"M-My right pocket." She blushed, and so did the other girl. Without further thoughts, she tucked her hands into her right pocket, digging out the car keys.
What is this strange feeling that o feel when she's near me? Everything makes me remember about 'her'… Even the perfume she wears…
"A-Are you sure is in this pocket?" The younger girl was blushing harder at their closeness.
Is God bringing back something that was precious to me? Something that was part of me before?
"Mister?" She came back to her senses when she heard someone calling her. She blinked a few times, only to find herself staring into the deepest eyes ever, as if one could drown in it.
"H-Huh? Oh, maybe it's in the other pocket?"
"Here, got it."
"Does your car break down often?"
"Nah, just these few days. I think someone's cursing me or something." The college student giggled again. Her giggles were like music to the blonde's ears.
"You are funny. So let me guess, you work as a delivery man?" She asked. "I mean, by the looks of these boxes behind…" She flipped her hair and took a look to the back seat.
"Yeah, I spend most of my time in this car…"
"It looks boring…" She answered as she noticed the driver taking out a cigarette. Much to the blonde's surprise, when she was about to light it up, the aquamarine hair girl snatched it away. "Don't smoke, it's bad for your health!" The blonde sighed. "If you wanna die don't involve me, alright?" The shorter girl frowned.
"Alright, alright…"
"That's better!" Her smile appeared again, this time a wider one.
"We're here, and that'll be 70 bucks, ma'am."
"You're kidding, right?" The driver chuckled a little as she opened the door for her like a gentleman.
"Of course I am. Come on, don't wanna be late, do you?"
"Nuh-uh… I'm Tsukino Usagi, what's yours?" Usagi asked as she took out her bag from the car.
"What do you need my name for?"
"Iie, just for-" The school bell rang. "Oops, there goes the bell!"
"You better get going!"
"Hai hai, Mr. Cool… Jya, hope to see you again!"
"Mr. Cool?" Usagi only smiled sweetly and bowed to her before heading for class. It was then the blonde spotted something dangling on the schoolgirl's bag. It was a purple love-shaped key chain with a Pisces symbol on it. Her eyes widen.
Eh? How did this kid get that key chain? I know only one person on Earth who has that; because I was the one who made that for her... She stared blankly at her back before taking out her cell phone. "Hello? Kawari-san, yeah it's me Haruka. I'm afraid I'm not able to deliver these items to you today; my car broke down in the highway. Yeah, I'm sure tomorrow it'll be sent there in time." She sighed as she closed her phone. Usagi, huh?
"Aw, Michi-chan… Come on, I'll give you a ride home." A guy with long black hair which was tied into a ponytail behind pouted. He's been trying to date Usagi since they first met, but apparently he always failed to do so. He just wasn't Usagi's taste.
"Iie, Daijoubu." She answered coldly.
"Ne, Usa-chan… Just one ride? What harm does it bring you?" Geez, was he trying hard.
"Can you stop bugging me, Sei-kun? And don't follow me around!"
"We could go for a drink, or maybe for tea? Or we could go shopping, have some fun, you know…" Without giving a second thought, Usagi ran forward, trying her best to avoid the taller figure. Although she knew that he's trying to get her interested in him, but they're still friends; best friends. She didn't even know how it all ended like that. "Usagi? O-Oi, matte!" He dashed behind the girl.
"Ara?!" A familiar red car caught her attention, it belonged to the guy from that morning.
"Usa-chan, when did yyou became so f-fast?" Seiya finally caught up with the artist.
"Mr. Cool!" She waved to the blonde on the opposite road. He looked up and saw her. He's been waiting there for her since that morning. Seiya, noticing her actions shot her a confused look.
"Who's that? You know him?" He asked, giving her one of his saddest look.
"Mochiro! He's my Koi!"
Koi? Haruka chuckled inwardly. Must she go so far? She took a sip of her Pepsi and gave her her trademark grin. "Hey, how'd you know I'm here?" She walked to the teenagers' side as Usagi took her hands in her own.
"I'm hungry, Mr. Cool… Can we go eat?"
"How about him?" Haruka looked down at her, lifting an eyebrow.
"Don't worry about him… He'll do fine."
"N-Nani?" Seiya felt as if his world was torn into a million pieces. "U-Usa-chan, how could you?!" Before he knew it, Usagi had already got onto the 'stranger's' car. "Hey, U-Usa-chan!" He banged his fist onto the window, hard. He could see Usagi waving to him with a smile plastered on her face.
"So how come you're here?"
"I need to ask you something." The atmosphere suddenly became all-too-serious when Haruka voiced out. "I believe you have something that belongs to me."
So how was it? I think his drawing on this somic was VERY VERY good! If you hadn't seen it before, you ought to! So, review if you want me continue!
