More than team-mates?!

I do not owe Sailor Moon and it's character's; they belong to Naoko Takeuchi. Lyrics are from Justin Timberlake: Futuresex/ Lovesounds, I do not own them either.

So, this is my first fanfic and I would be glad to receive reviews and critique. I will appreciate any suggestions and anybody that finds mistakes is more than welcome to tell me I'll love to fix them. English is not my native language and I would desperately need a beta-reader, what I'm trying to say is that I'm terrible sorry for all the grammar and spelling mistakes.

Well enjoy ''

CHAPTER ONE

The after-show party was reaching it's high point. Even though the talented racer and the beautiful violinist were very busy they had to show up at these events from time to time. And it would allow them to escape the reality of fighting for just a little while, so they decided to make the best out of it.

"Do you wanna dance?", the blonde asked.

Michiru looked around in the generous and extravagant club; the dance floor was huge, colourful flashlights and candles on the walls created a unique atmosphere. Young, successful and well-known people were moving their bodies rhythmically to the sound of the live band, while others simply used the comfortable leather over-size couches to rest or to rub their stimulated bodies against each other.

"Sure, I'd love to", she put her hand elegantly into the blonde's allowing her to guide her into the middle of the dancing area. It was certainly not the kind of music she'd usually listened to but she sure appreciated the sexy rhythms and she certainly knew how to move. She and Haruka made an impressive pair on the dance floor; Haruka was wearing a black shirt with most of the buttons open giving her a very masculine sexy look, allowing blushing girls around her a view on her chest. She matched Michiru's short and fitted black Gucci dress perfectly and they soon had all eyes on him as their harmonically moving bodies were wandering closer.

You know what you want
And that makes you just like me
See everybody says you're hot, baby
But can you make it hot for me
Said if you're thinking 'bout holding back
Don't worry, girl
'Cause I'm gonna make it so easy
So slide a little bit closer to me, little girl
Daddy's on a mission to please

"They are starring at us", the blonde whispered into Michiru's ear.

"Let them stare", she laid her hand softly on the tomboys neck. "I know you enjoy that", she said playfully letting the other girl questioning whether she meant their little fan club or the hand that was now wandering down her back. Alright, she thought I know how to play this game as well. She put her hands on the aqua haired beauty's waist and letting her right hand move down her upper leg. She could feel how the smaller girl tensed at the touch and instinctively pressed her hips closer to Haruka. Michiru flung her arms around Haruka's neck allowing her to draw her heated body closer.

Wait a second
She's hopped up on me
I've got her in my zone
Her body's pressed up on me
I think she's ready to blow
Must be my future sex love sound
And when it goes down
Baby all you gotta do is

The blonde tried to blank out the warnings her inner voice was giving her. There was nothing wrong with a little dancing, right? Well it was probably not the best idea since they had a mission to fulfil and their feelings for each other had already caused a lot of confusion, tears and desperation. Gosh, Michiru's fingers on her chest left a burning desire on her skin.

Just tell me which way you like that
All you gotta do is
Tell me which way you like that
Do you like it like this
Do you like it like that
Tell me which way you like that
Tell me which way you like that

"I'm getting thirsty, would you like me to get you a drink?"

Haruka suggested, trying to stop their little fling from going to far.

The aqua haired girl nodded and continued dancing. As soon as Haruka was out of sight a handsome black haired, probably around 25 years old, man approached her.

"Such a beautiful lady shouldn't dance by herself." He smiled. "I'm John, nice to meet you."

Michiru shook his hand. "Kaiou, Michiru"

"Miss Kaiou, what a pleasure I really enjoyed your new recording. Would you like to dance?"

Michiru was impressed by his good manners and polite as she was she couldn't deny his invitation.

He was a good dancer and attractive but for Michiru's taste he was a little bit to close so she moved away which only cause John to put his arms on her hips to pull her closer. To top it she felt his hand getting closer to her butt. Michiru tried to break out of this position and yelled "You need to stop it right there!" But he only shhhd her taking her head into his hands moving his half-parted lips closer to hers.

A very jealous and angry Haruka who had noticed Michiru's situation from the bar counter put the drinks into the hands of a dazzled guy standing near Michiru without even looking at him, just concentrating to cool down to not let her hot temper making her kill that A that dared to touch Michiru. Her fist landed in his face just in the right moment and Michiru threw herself into the blonde's arms.

"DO NOT DARE TO TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND, EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

As if to underline her words she placed her lips upon the stunned neptunian princess who allowed her tongue to enter, sharing a deep and passionate kiss. Sunken in their own feelings they didn't notice John standing up slowly and taking advantage of the situation to get away as quickly as he could with his side aching like hell.


Meanwhile the stimulative music and their bodies being that close had stirred up the two girls whose hidden desire was hard to control. Michiru who was still in shock, as more than thankful that Haruka had helped her out, while Haruka seemed to take her words literally, especially the girlfriend part. Both of them wouldn't be able to recall later how they actually got into this position. Michiru's knee between the blonde's legs whose hand was softly caressing every inch of that part of Michiru's body that that John guy had almost dared to touch.

She heard a soft moan from the aqua-haired girl and felt her own heart racing faster and a light pout on her shoulder. It couldn't be Michiru since she had her hands under Haruka's shirt and for a moment she thought that a certain A might be begging for another punch. Turning around a still dazzled guy was presenting her two drinks, it took her a while to realise what he meant but then she started bursting out in laughter taking away the drinks from the very confused boy.

"Umm, well" This was slightly awkward since the two friends were just rescued from going on with this very not friend like dance.

"Umm I did get you the drink, though", the smaller girl saw Haruka's expression and started laughing as well. Good, Haruka thought, this is not gonna affect our relationship. She sighed in relief and knew she'd spent the rest of this night just hitting it of with Michiru as flirtatious friend. Both of them needed this kind of break from time to time.


Wait a second
She's hopped up on me
I've got her in my zone
Her body's pressed up on me
I think she's ready to blow
Must be my future sex love sound
And when it goes down
Baby all you gotta do is

They sipped on their drinks resting at the couches, laughing and messing with each other as usual.

"This dress is a bit short, no wonder all those guys are hitting on you"

Michiru flipped her hair and grinned seductively. "You like it, don't you?"

She usually didn't care what Michiru was wearing because she'd love to get the girl out of the clothes as soon as possible but she had to admit she was looking damn hot in that dress. But since they were only team-mates and desperately tried to remain just friends, Haruka chose to leave this question unanswered. She knew that their occasional flirts were meant to stay innocent but she couldn't help but to blush hoping desperately the dimmed lights would prevent Michiru from noticing it.

Just tell me which way you like that
All you gotta do is
Tell me which way you like that
Do you like it like this
Do you like it like that
Tell me which way you like that
Tell me which way you like that

It would have been very unlike Michiru not to notice Haruka's change of mood.

"Everything alright with you?"

"Yeah, I'm just getting tired, I guess" That was not even a lie since it was already 2 o'clock and they've been dancing a lot.

"Come on let's go then, we'll need at least a couple of hours of sleep"

Due to Haruka's probably not that legal speed they were sitting in Haruka's Ferrari driving into Michiru's driveway, only 15 minutes later.

Michiru lived in a very nice and calm neighbourhood but Haruka insisted to walk her to her apartment door.

"If I learned one lesson today then to watch you better and I think I forgot my paper at your place anyway"

They entered Michiru's rich and generous living area and Haruka started looking for her paper.

"Would you like a cup of tea, Haruka?"

The girl was looking through Michiru's school stuff which was, unlike her's, perfectly organized and murmured a quick "Sure." There it was, between Michiru's textbooks. So she went over to the kitchen table where the aqua haired girl had already placed the tea-cups. It was green tea, Michiru's favourite.

After drinking their tea Michiru could hardly hold her eyes open, she was tired and unfortunately it was already Monday so both of them would have classes in a few hours.

''I'm gonna go to bed, now''

''Sure, that you don't want me to accompany you?''

Michiru stood there, looking confused while Haruka just had her lustful eyes fixed upon her sleek figure. Not that they hadn't ended up sleeping with each other before, but never on purpose. There just was this strong attraction that had overpowered them in their weak moments; it was something both of them tried to deny and to forget about.

''Don't play with my feelings'', she started closing her bedroom door slowly while knowing exactly how much she wanted the other girl to hold her tight. Haruka tried to stop Michiru from just walking away like this but the sad look those beloved aqua eyes gave her made her stop. Damn, it really wasn't her intention to hurt her.

They had silently agreed to not let their feelings make everything harder. But it wasn't really working out. They needed to concentrate on their mission and were afraid they would forget about what had priority. Michiru had all these thoughts running trough her head while taking a bath. Water was her element and it almost always helped her to relax but this time she couldn't help but to think about that one time when hasn't been strong enough to prevent their wonderful sin. How much she wished the fingers running up her body and rubbed sea salt on her were Haruka's. That girl just knew how to touch her and make her feel good. It was after that serious fight, they were at Haruka's apartment and she had walked in on her when she walked out of the shower. Later when she took care of Haruka's wounds on her back she couldn't help but to massage her partners nude soft skin way to intimate. Haruka who couldn't bear that desire anymore had pressed their bodies against each other. She remembered how Haurka's lips had trailed her neck up to her mouth where they paused for a while only to be pressed passionately against Michiru's. They had soon been lost into each other's touch as clothing started to cover the ground. Haruka's hands on her breasts, Haruka's leg in between her's, Haruka kissing her stomach, Haruka…….. Ohhh Haruka

Sometimes she really hated her life; she wasn't having much of her life since she had to sacrifice almost everything. Sometimes she was thankful that Haruka was her partner and sometimes she couldn't bear that the fact that they could never be more than team-mates. It weren't the scars or the bruises that hurt most. It was her heart that was torn apart between her responsibility and love that felt so right but was forbidden.

Haruka on the other hand could smell her bathing oils that she loved so much while sitting in front off the other girl's bedroom door. Her toned body was unable to move and so she just sat there with her back leaning against the door. If she just hadn't said those words, but on the other hand she couldn't exactly understand Michiru's reaction. It was her that started everything by admitting she dreamed of riding with her along the beach even though she was a girl. Not that Michiru being a girl was a problem for Haruka, she was into girls anyway. But still she was rather suspicious how somebody could seriously like somebody like her who always ran away from everything. And the way she looked in her eyes with all that love and care always left the blonde tomboy stunned. She wasn't exactly good in showing her feelings, well at least not with words. But even she couldn't deny that certain attraction which grew stronger the better she got to know the aqua haired beauty, who seemed to be cold and shy at first glance. But both of them had changed when they meet each other, Haruka had accepted her duty as a Sailor Senshi. She wasn't gonna run away from that girl now. She could hear how Michiru came out of the bathroom and moved to her bed.

Michiru tried to comfort herself with snuggling in to her pillows but she couldn't help but to leave teardrops running down her cheeks.

Haruka entered without knocking and sat on the bed while trying to stop the other girl's tears who had immediately flung herself into her arms.

"I was serious, honey"

They just sat there in their embrace and Michiru who had just calmed down started sobbing again, "I know" she murmured into Haruka's arms that were holding her tight. There were no more words necessary for both of them to know what the other on meant.

"Can you go now, please? I'm okay, don't worry", both knew that this was a lie but Haruka understood and it wasn't the time to discuss that right now. She gave her a light and caring kiss on the forehead and then slowly separated their embrace.

Haruka's drive home took longer than usually. She drove around the blocks with her hair flowing in the wind trying to blank out everything, only focusing on the feeling of speed. There it was again that feeling that no matter how fast she would be she could not out run her feelings for Michiru.
