Green Tea incident
Part One : Some dance to remember , some dance to forget

Setsuna sat behind the dinner table looking down at the cup of tea that stood in front of her. She didn't know why but somehow she knew something was going to happen today that was going to change her life forever. Ofcourse it was no suprise she felt these kind of things, after all she was the guardian of time, Sailor Pluto. But what scared her the most was that after they defeated Galaxia and brought the world back to its normal state she never had these sort of feelings again. Until now that was. All of this had started two days ago since Haruka left their house never to return again.

Ofcourse Setsuna had tried a couple of times to ask Michiru what had happened but the smaller girl had never replied on those questions. All the aqua haired girl did was put up a fake smile and pretend nothing ever happened. She hadn't even tried to call Haruka. Setsuna had though. But Haruka never picked up the phone. It was obvious the blonde tomboy was mad over something. She just didn't know why or what it was about.

This also was starting to have some negative effects on Hotaru who thought it was her fault her Haruka-pappa walked away. It had only been two days since, two damn days and their lives had already changed this fast. Setsuna couldn't believe this. This wasn't what she had seen when she looked into the future a while ago. She saw a happy married couple with a lovely daughter. Setsuna was suppossed to be the one to make sure that Future would eventually happen, she was in charge of these things. Today she was sure she was going to make Michiru confess about what had happened between her and Haruka. If not Setsuna wasn't sure of what to do next. Maybe she could try to talk to Usagi. Maybe she had any idea of what had happened.

Just when that thought left her mind she heard the frontdoor open causing her to look up at Michiru who came walking into her direction with a sad smile on her face. She didn't say anything though. She just kept looking at the green haired woman with her blue and deep eyes as if to say; Please don't ask. Setsuna decided to ignore the look Michiru was giving her and stood up from the place she was sitting.

'' Michiru, it's been long enough now. You can't leave me and Hotaru in the dark forever. What happened ?'' The green haired woman asked with a clear but gentle tone in her voice. The aqua haired girl finally stopped looking at her friend and was now staring at her hands which were holding a plastic bag filled with groceries. But she was forced to look up at her friend again when she suddenly felt Setsuna's hand on her shoulder. ''Just try to tell me...'' The green haired woman pleaded with the same tone in her voice as she had used before. Michiru nodded as she felt Setsuna take the plastic bag from her hands and put it down the the table. With that she gestured Michiru to follow her back into the livingroom.

When they both sat down on the couch it didn't take too long before Michiru broke down into tears. She had tried not to cry in front of her friend but she found it was so much harder than she had expected. Setsuna just sat there looking at the crying girl. She knew she should try to comfort Michiru right now but she knew it was best not to do so. If she did Michiru would only cry more and that wasn't what she wanted to happen. The green haired woman never had been good with trying to comfort people.

After a few more minutes of trying to make her tears dissapear Michiru finally succeed and gazed up at her friend with the same sad look in her eyes as she hold when she walked into the room. ''We had a fight.'' Michiru started. ''At first it was really innocent. I was complaining again about Haruka being such a flirt and she was just like always defending herself.'' The aqua haired girl smiled bitterly. She seemed to find it all somehow very amusing but hurtful at the same time. ''But somehow we got to the subject about us not being as close as we used to be and before we even knew it we were fighting and I hit her.''

Setsuna seemed to be suprised by all Michiru was telling her. To her Haruka and Michiru had always been the perfect couple who never fought. She now saw how wrong she was. The aqua haired girl nodded as if she knew what the other was thinking before she went on with her story. ''You see I knew Haruka and me weren't as close as we used to be but aren't all couples fighting from time to time? I didn't think it would be a good reason for us to break up but she thought otherwise. Haruka said it was better for us to break up for a while to see what we both wanted. I was so mad..'' The smaller girl whispered while a tear slide down her cheek.

''It's okay Michiru , it's understandable you were mad. I would've been mad too.'' Setsuna said. She couldn't believe what Michiru was telling her. After all Haruka must've known that this would eventually be fatal to their relationship.

'' I shouldn't have been. Maybe if I pretended I agreed to her words she wouldn't have left. Maybe she would be back again and...'' The aqua haired was cut off by Setsuna who suddenly slapped her. It wasn't hard but it still had a lot of impact on the now crying girl who placed her hand on the burning place on her cheek.''Why did you do that?''

'' Because you were losing it.'' The green haired woman said with no hint of regret of what she had just done. ''Michiru listen I know you are hurt because of what has happened between you and Haruka but you can't let it eat you in this way. Try to forget about it for a while. Have fun and before you know it Haruka will be back begging for your love again.'' Michiru smiled at that last part hoping it would be a secret hint from the senshi of time within Setsuna.

'' You are right Setsuna...Let's have some fun!'' Michiru suddenly said after a few minutes of silence. With that said she jumped up and walked over to the kitchen. ''Let me make us something to eat and then we're going out.'' The smaller girl paused for a moment before she turned back to look at her friend.''What do you think about that ah?'' Setsuna just nodded and smiled in reply. She would jump off a bridge if that would mean Michiru would smile again. She couldn't bare to see her friend in so much pain. Ofcourse she never was going to admit she was in love with the aqua haired girl. Maybe if she would keep on telling herself she wasn't in love with Michiru she would eventually believe it herself.

After Michiru finished making them something to eat they both prepared themselfs for a busy night in a disco but just when they were about to leave Michiru took off her coat again and fell down on the couch while taking a deep breath. ''Is something wrong?'' Setsuna asked dropping her own coat on the floor as she started walking towards the other girl.

'' I realised i'm just fooling myself Setsuna, she isn't coming back.'' The smaller girl answered.

'' So ?'' The green haired woman asked. ''Even if she isn't coming back , what is stopping you from having some little fun ? I don't think she's sitting somewhere on the couch too thinking about you.'' She could see Michiru flinch at her words but decided to go on with her little speech. ''I know this might sound really cruel to you but it's true. If Haruka really was having the same thoughts as you , then why isn't she here yet Michiru?''

The smaller girl opened her mouth to reply something but shut it again. Setsuna was right. Who knew where Haruka was right now , maybe she was with another gril already enjoying her freedom. But what if something bad happened to the blonde tomboy and she was hurt and all alone? The thought made Michiru shiver but before she could think or say anything else she suddenly felt Setsuna's lips pressed against hers. She went wide eyed at this , not able to move or do anything at all. All she could do was think of reasons why Setsuna was kissing her.

Still not able to move she felt Setsuna pull back. Their eyes met as both of them didn't say anything. It seemed even Setsuna was shocked by her own actions. ''I...I..'' She stammered unable to say anything else. Finally she managed some excuse and ran away into her own bedroom closing the door with a loud thump. Still Michiru didn't do anything but sit there and touch her lips. Setsuna had kissed her and all she could do was just sit there. Something inside her was yelling at her , telling her to chase after the green haired woman to see how she was doing but her mindrejected that idea , saying she shouldn't do that because she would hurt the green haired woman even more if she did so.

--

The next morning Michiru who had spent the whole night sitting on the couch and think about the previous night was greeted by the green haired woman who looked like she always did. Calm , reserved and smiling. As if nothing had happened. Michiru decided that maybe Setsuna was trying to pretend she didn't care about yesterday and was trying to move on with her life. Also she decided she was going to ignore the facts and was going to ask her friend about what had happened. She had to know why Setsuna had kissed her.

'' Why ?'' Michiru asked hoping the words didn't come out like she thought they had. Setsuna stopped walking towards the kitchen to turn around and give the other girl a questioning look as if she didn't know what Michiru was talking about.

'' What do you mean ?'' Setsuna asked walking back into the livingroom and sat down on the chair looking at the cup of tea that still stood on the table from the previous day.

'' You know what i'm talking about , don't play innocent with me. I'm talking about the kiss.'' Michiru seemed like she was losing her patience and maybe she was. Setsuna couldn't tell or read Michiru's emotions at this time. They were too mixed to make something out of it.

'' Because I wanted to see how much you really care about Haruka.'' The guardian of time lied. ''I thought that if you would kiss me back your feelings for Haruka wouldn't be a true as you thought for yourself.''

'' Oh...'' Michiru replied not understanding why she felt sad all of a sudden. She had been afraid of the answer , she had feared Setsuna was in love with her and the whole night she had tried to think of things to say to the other woman without breaking her heart. She had even rehearsed telling Setsuna she didn't love her back, not in the way she thought Setsuna did that was. She should've been relieved with the other's answer. Why wasn't she? Why did it feel like her heart was ripped out once more?

'' Does that answer please you ?'' Setsuna asked when she saw the blank expression on the smaller girl's face. Michiru just nodded before standing up and giving Setsuna one of those I'm-glad smiles. But in reality Michiru was far from okay or glad. What was thispain in her heart thatshe was feeling?
