Ok, first of all, I don't own Sailor Moon or either of these characters.

Second of all, in this story, Haruka and Michiru are NOT sailor senshi or whatever you call them (I cannot recall the name). I just really like these two as a couple so I am going to create my own version of how they met ok? This story had no reference to the show except that they're characters from the show ok? Ok…

She Caused My Heart to Start Beating Again Ch. 1

It came as a shock. She hadn't expected to be rejected but she should've known; it was the third time in two months. She was used to it by now but it still kind of hurt.

Haruka left the bar feeling very down. The pretty redhead she had been flirting with for the last hour hadn't been interested and who could blame her? She hadn't known Haruka was a lesbian and was completely disgusted when she suggested they hook up some time. It wasn't a nice rejection either. Haruka looked down at her white blouse which was now covered with red wine and permanently ruined. She let out a sigh and decided to walk to the convenience store down the street to pick up something for dinner. Seeing as how she only had five dollars, she was almost glad she would be eating alone tonight.

Haruka stepped into the almost deserted store and started to look around for something cheap yet appetizing. She rounded a corner and collided with a woman with long aqua hair wearing a white blouse and blue skirt holding a case with some sort of instrument inside. The aqua haired woman fell to the floor while Haruka grabbed a nearby rack of chips to keep her steady. When she regained her balance, Haruka looked down at the aqua haired maiden sprawled out on the floor. Her instrument had fallen out of its case and Haruka could now see it was a violin. She glanced at the other woman's body noting that she had a beautiful figure, perfect cheek bones, and long, slender fingers; the fingers of a musician.

"I- I'm sorry" said the aqua haired beauty, "I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you all right?"

The woman looked up and locked eyes with Haruka and right then and there, Haruka knew she was in love. The woman had deep blue eyes that matched her beautiful aqua hair. Her cheeks were slowly starting to turn pink and she had fear in her eyes. Haruka smiled softly and held out her hand to the woman on the floor. "I'm fine, just a little shocked that I bumped into someone so beautiful in a crappy place like this."

The beauty smiled and blushed. Obviously flustered by her comment, the aqua haired girl took hold of Haruka's hand and allowed herself to be pulled up. The beauty pushed some stray hairs away from her face only to have them fall back in front of her eyes. She lifted her hand to push them back again but Haruka grabbed her wrist halfway through the motion and the blonde pushed the hairs but for her, almost caressing the aqua haired woman's reddened cheek. Haruka felt an urge to pull the beauty closer and hold her in a sweet embrace. It felt like more like a need than an urge and Haruka knew that if she didn't let go of the beauty's hand, she would surely give into it and she didn't want to scare the maiden away.

Haruka let go of the girl's hand and searched her mind for the right words. Haruka was normally a huge flirt and could easily start a conversation with a beautiful woman but this time it was different. She felt nervous around this lovely female and needed to find the perfect conversation starter. She opened her mouth to say something but the other woman spoke first. "My name is Michiru," she said in a sweet voice, "and yours?"

Haruka smiled and replied "Haruka. Michiru eh? That's a beautiful name. Doesn't it mean Ocean King?"

Michiru smiled softly, chuckled inwardly, and nodded. Haruka had no idea what to say next but luckily, Michiru had started talking again. "I seem to have dropped my violin. My bow slid a little down the aisle behind you, could you retrieve it for me while I pick up my violin?"

Haruka turned around and spotted the bow. She walked over a picked it up. She then turned around and stopped in her tracks. Michiru was bent over, putting her instrument back into its case but while she did so, she was unaware that Haruka could see a little up her skirt. She knew it was wrong of her to peep but she couldn't help herself. The girl was wearing small black panties with little red hearts. Interesting, she thought to herself. She had classified Michiru as a classy young woman but maybe she had been wrong. Maybe the beauty was a little more adventurous than she'd thought.

Before she knew what was happening, she had walked over to where Michiru was, kneeled down, and placed her hand on Michiru's right butt cheek. For what seemed like hours, the two women kneeled there. Michiru in a state of shock at what the blonde had just done and Haruka too scared to move.

Michiru slowly turned around with a look of shock and embarrassment on her face. She looked Haruka in the eyes and saw that Haruka was just as shocked as she was. Michiru softened her features and smiled gently, taking Haruka's hand off her bottom and placing it her own hand. "Please don't do that again," she said and then stood. Haruka did the same.

"I- I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I was doing. Please forgive me. I swear it'll never happen again." Haruka was babbling on and on and Michiru stood there and giggled.

"Shhh," she said, placing a finger on Haruka's lips to silence her. "Don't be so nervous, I don't mind, I know you didn't mean to do that. I think you're cute. Do you want to go to dinner sometime?"

Haruka couldn't believe what she had just heard. All she could do was nod and watch as Michiru wrote down her number and said "Call me when you feel like dinner then ok? I'm usually always free so call anytime."

Haruka nodded and watched as Michiru put the piece of paper with her number in her hand. She felt something soft brush her lips and watched Michiru walk out of the store. It wasn't until the doors had closed behind the beauty that Haruka realized Michiru had kissed her.
