Our Sanctuary

Chapter one : The rain

Happily Michiru opened the front door. She went home early this day because she had finished all work already. She knew her fiance should've been home too around this time and the thought of simply spending the afternoon with him made her smile. They didn't see eachother much lately. Not because they didn't want to but because they both were busy with their work.

She walked into the kitchen and lay the car keys on the table. Just when she walked to the fridge she remembered she hadn't seen her fiance yet. Maybe he wasn't home or maybe he was still asleep. She just smiled at the thought. He never had been a morning person. She opened the fridge in hope to find something to eat. When she saw something she liked she bent down to get it but something stopped her.

She heard voices come from the bedroom , there was no doubt one of those voices belonged to her fiance but the other one belonged to a female.Michiru's heart started racing as her mind was set on one thing : finding out what was going on there.

When she got closer to the bedroom she heard soft moaning. The smile dissapeared from her face as it was replaced by a sad one.' Please god , not him too.' Michiru begged as she remembered her past boyfriend who cheated on her with her best friend. Slowly she opened the door. Without trying to draw too much attention she peeked into the room. On the bed lay her fiance with some girl underneath him.

When they both realised someone was watching them Mark crawled off the brown haired girl and turned around. The girl fastly covered her naked body up with the blanket as she started blushing.'' Honey , you are home early.'' Mark said with a nervous smile on his face.He was busted.

Michiru was speechless. Was this the man she was engaged to ? Was this the sweet man she had always known.She could feel hot tears stream down her face as she looked at the scene in front of her. She kept telling herself that she could wake up any moment now but she knew that would be lying.

'' Honey listen...'' Mark started but the smaller girl stopped him.

'' No don't , don't explain it to me cause talk is cheap , i think i just saw enough.'' Michiru sobbed as she stepped back from the door back into the livingroom. Mark wanted to stop her but remembered he was still naked so first he pulled on his pants and ran after Michiru who had already put on her shoes again and reached the front door.

'' Please listen to me honey , it's not what you think.'' Again Michiru cut him off by turning around and hit him across his face.

'' Don't honey me you asshole ! I don't need to hear why you where having sex with some girl in OUR bed ! I don't want to hear anything coming from you anymore !'' She yelled takin him by suprise. He raised his hand to hit the smaller crying girl in front of him but stopped in mid-air. He couldn't hit her. She had all right to be angry , maybe now there was still a way to make things up to his love but if he would hit her now , there was no way they would have another chance together.

'' How long has this been going on ?'' Michiru wanted to know causing the man in front of her to look away.He could no longer face her.

'' Is that really important ?'' He asked knowing Michiru was going to demand and answer.He could lie but the girl would've noticed. He just decided to be honest.'' Two months.'' Michiru nodded in disbelieve. Two months she had believed they were meant to be together , two months she had done nothing but love him while he was sleeping with another girl behind her back.

'' I can change , i promise.'' He started but Michiru turned away from him heading towards the front door.

'' Don't say things you don't mean.'' She pleaded as she opened the front door. Before he could stop her or say something she had closed the door again leaving him alone in the hall. Ashamed he walked back to the bedroom. He wasn't going to give the aqua haired girl up , he loved her and he knew that what he had done went against all rules.

When Michiru finally had stopped running she noticed she ended up in the parc and that it was raining. Silently she scolded the weather as she fell down on a bench. She gazed at the sky above her and closed her eyes letting the rain fall down over her. Every drop felt like a wave in a storm that washed over her. Never before had she felt so hurt , so betrayed.

For a moment she drifted into her own world. A world without having to worry about tomorrow or about what she was going to do next.The suddenly the rain stopped falling on her.First she thought it had stopped raining but when she could still hear the rain hit the ground she opened her eyes only to see a figure hold a umbrella over them both.

At first she thought it was Mark but when she got to look closer she saw it was a blonde guy who looked at her with two concerned eyes.'' What is a lovely lady like you doing outside with this weather ah ?'' The blonde man asked causing Michiru to blush not long after that she reminded why she was actually out here in the rain. Luckily for her it was raining or else this guy could've seen the tears that were falling down her face. She decided not to answer the man and just ignore him. She focused on the sky again.

After a few minuted of ignoring the blonde man she could still feel his eyes on her and opened hers again.'' Stop looking at me like that.'' Even though Michiru didn't see the blonde's face because of the shadows she knew he was smiling.

'' How did you know i was looking at you?'' He asked.

'' I don't know to be honest , i just knew. By the way who are you ?'' The aqua haired girl asked finally looking at the guy.

The blonde sat down on the bench next to the smaller girl still holding the umbrella above their heads.'' They call me Tenoh Haruka and what's your name ?'' Michiru thought about it for a moment. His name was familiar to her. She had heard it before she just couldn't remind from what.

'' Kaioh Michiru.'' She answered.'' Listen , thanks for keeping me dry and company but you shouldn't be out here in the rain , you could catch a cold.''

'' So can you.'' Haruka stated with a smirk.

'' Yeah , so can i.'' Michiru repeated completly hoping she would catch a cold and then die.

Haruka looked at Michiru's face which was hard since it was dark and the shadow of the umbrella wasn't helping much either but she somehow knew the smaller girl had been crying and probably was still crying too.'' Did you have a fight with your parents , or boyfriend perhaps ?''

'' How did you..'' Michiru didn't even have to ask because before she could continue her question the blonde had already answered.

'' In that case let me invite you to my house.'' This time Michiru cut her off.

'' Thank you very much but , i don't even know you. How do i know you're not some kind of freak who likes to take advantage of girls ?''

'' Do you think i'm like that ?'' Haruka asked. Michiru gazed at the blonde for a moment and then shook her head. She didn't think Haruka was like that but on the other hand Michiru couldn't just go home with someone she hardly knew ? But where else could she go.

'' Is the invitation still open ?'' She asked.

'' Ofcourse.'' Haruka answered causing Michiru to smile. Something told her to trust this guy and for a moment she had forgotten all about Mark but when she figured out she had to explain to Haruka later why she was here in the rain the memory flashed back into her mind. The thought that he was probably still with that girl hurt Michiru. She just stood up followed by Haruka and without saying anything they walked over to Haruka's car.
