Sacrifice For the One You Love

Author's Note: I got this idea from a phrase someone said in a book. There is probably a story out there somewhere like this and I apologize if it is like yours and I didn't do it on purpose. Alright enough blabbering on with the story...oh ya I don't own any characters either.

---------------------------------------------

Haruka stood in front of her mirror admiring her outfit –she wore a black tuxedo with a black bow tie. She looked at her chest pocket, something was missing; she usually had a white handkerchief sticking out of it. 'I wonder were it went,' she thought as she searched all of her pockets, after finding nothing she walked into the other room.

"Michiru, do you know were my handkerchief went?" Michiru sat at her makeup table brushing her hair.

"Go look over in the cupboard." She smiled as Haruka opened the cupboard door, inside was a single white rose. Haruka picked it up out of the vase and brought it over to Michiru.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" Michiru took the rose and cut some of the stem off,

"Come here," Haruka walked even closer to the sea goddess. Michiru reached for her chest pocket and placed the flower inside; Haruka blushed as Michiru touched her, no matter how many times she touched her she always blushed.

"There you go." Michiru sat back down at her table and continued getting ready for the up coming event.

"Thanks," Haruka left the room to go and get Michiru something. In her drawer sat a neatly wrapped box with M.K. on top,

"I hope she likes it," she whispered very low so that her love couldn't hear her.

"Haruka dear, are you coming?" Michiru stood in the door way of their bedroom.

"Yup," Haruka walked toward her with her hands behind her back. Michiru noticed this; her curiosity got the better of her.

"What do you have behind your back?" Michiru tried to reach behind her loves back but failed. Haruka took this opportunity to hug her,

"Do you want the thing behind my back?" Haruka grinned as Michiru tried to reach the package again.

"Yes, now give it to me please." Michiru stuck her hand out and pouted.

"What you going to give me?" Haruka smiled as she pointed to her mouth.

"A kiss is what you want?" Michiru stood on her toes to reach her loves lips; she quickly kissed Haruka and grabbed the package behind her.

"Hey!" Haruka crossed her arms before her chest. Michiru gasped at the package in front of her –it was a little box neatly wrapped in blue paper with white ribbon- she opened it and inside was the most beautiful set of earring she had ever seen. Michiru wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck and passionately kissed her.

"Happy Anniversary dear." Michiru stared at the earrings before her; they were a single diamond stud that dangled off your ear.

"Are anniversary isn't for another week." Michiru felt guilty because she hadn't got anything for her.

"I know but a saw them in the store and I couldn't just leave them there." Haruka smiled as Michiru put the earrings in her ears.

"Thanks," she kissed her on the cheek.

"We better get going; we don't want to be late." Haruka offered her, her hand and walked out of the house and to their car.

------------------------------------------

"I keep thinking that I'm forgetting something." Michiru looked at Haruka with a worried face. Her eyes widen in horror,

"Oh no, I forgot a present for them." Haruka pulled over to a near by store and got out.

"I'll be right back." Haruka ran into the store and five minutes later came back with an envelope in hand.

"What did you get them?" Michiru looked at the envelope puzzled.

"You'll have to wait and see love." Haruka winked at her as they drove down the street to their destination.

"Haruka, Michiru, I'm so glad you could come." A black haired woman came over to them.

"I'm glad we were invited, Rei." Michiru handed her the envelope,

"This is for bride and groom." Rei nodded and left to place it in a safe place. They walked over to a table were a blue haired woman sat and a brown haired woman stood behind her.

"Hey guys." Haruka waved at them as they looked up.

"What took you guys so long getting here?" The browned haired woman shook Haruka's hand.

"Oh, we had to stop at a store and get something." Michiru hugged the blue haired woman who stood up.

"Ladies and gentleman..." a blonde haired woman stood on the dance floor, "...I'd like all of you to meet Mr and Mrs Chiba." The people around them started to clap as a tall man with black hair enter with a shorter blonde haired woman on his arm. The blonde haired women that introduce them now stood on the stage were the band played.

"Now would the newlyweds please come over to the dance floor for their first dance?" The newlyweds walked over to the dance floor as the music began to play. Haruka sat down and watched the new couple dance their first steps as husband and wife. Michiru stood there watching a smile appear on Haruka's face. Michiru reached for Haruka's hand as she sat down beside her. There eyes met as the music played behind them. Haruka brought Michiru's hand up to her mouth and kiss it gently; they smiled at each other then looked back at the happy couple before them, as the song ended. The blonde haired woman again stood on the stage.

"Now all the couples come join the newlyweds." Haruka looked at Michiru and without a word spoken they stood up and walked over to join everyone dancing. Michiru put her hand on Haruka's shoulder and held her hand; Haruka put her hand around Michiru's waist and pulled her closer. They began swaying with the music; Haruka bent her head to whisper in Michiru's ear,

"You look very beautiful tonight love." Michiru rested her head on her chest as they danced around the floor.

"I love to dance with you Ruka." Michiru looked up at Haruka with so much love in her eyes. Haruka smiled down at her goddess as she brought her even close then before.

----------------------------------------

"Congratulations Mamoru, Usagi." Michiru hugged both of them; while Haruka shook Mamoru's hand and kissed Usagi on the hand.

"I hope you enjoy the rest of your life together." Haruka handed the envelope to them that Rei handed back to her earlier.

"Thanks," they both said in unison. Usagi opened it, inside was a card that wished them good luck at the years to come. Still inside the card was a cheque for three thousand dollars. Usagi's eyes widen as she saw it.

"We...we can't accept this." Usagi handed back the cheque to Haruka; she refused to take it back.

"What's the point of having money if you can't share it with your friends?" Haruka smiled as she saw tears in Usagi's eyes.

"Thanks so much you guys." Usagi hugged both of them at once.

"Now go and enjoy your honeymoon." They joined the guest as they waved goodbye as the newlyweds got into a limousine. Haruka wrapped her arm Michiru's shoulder,

"Do you want to go home now?" Michiru nodded her head and wrapped her arm around Haruka's waist. They thanked Rei, Minako, Makoto and Ami for inviting them and got into their car and drove home.

----------------------------------------------

Haruka stood on the platform with a necklace of different flowers wrapped around her neck, in her hands she held a trophy, the racer beside her held a bottle of champagne in his hands and began to shake it, he pulled off the lid and soaked Haruka and the other racer with the bubbly stuff. Haruka seeked revenge and got her own bottle and soaked her fellow racers. Back in the shadows stood Ryu, former champion of the state for five years. He clenched his fists as he looked at Haruka's smiling face.

"This can't be happening again." He murmured to himself. "I will not be beating again by this loser, never again." He slammed his fist into the wall making it crack.

Haruka walked off the platform soaked to the bone, she smiled as she saw Michiru standing by the wall away from all the reporters, she walked over to her and gave her, her trophy.

"Congratulations, dear." Michiru looked into Haruka's teal eyes, they looked so happy.

"Thanks." Haruka kissed her on the cheek. "I think I'll go take a shower." Champagne was running off her nose, Michiru giggled as Haruka ran off to the locker room.

Haruka stepped into the shower and turned the hot water on letting the warmth relax her muscles, 'I can't believe I won again,' she washed her short blonde hair, 'two years in a row now.' She smiled as she remembered the look on Ryu's face as he realised he didn't win.

-------------------------------------

Michiru sat on a chair beside the locker room waiting for her love.

"Hey there pretty," a tall man stood in front of her, she looked up and there stood Ryu.

"How about you dump your boyfriend and come with me for a good time?" The man winked at her, Michiru would rather vomit then go with him.

"No thanks." Michiru stood up and walked past him, Ryu grabbed hold of her arm and tightened his grip.

"You don't know what your missing Kaioh." Michiru looked at him in shock.

"HEY!" they both looked up, Haruka stood there with a very angry look in her eyes.

"Are you ready to go love?" Michiru let out a sigh of relief as Ryu let go of her arm.

"Yes." Michiru quickly walked over to her love and grabbed hold of her arm.

"Are you okay, Michi?" Haruka could feel Michiru's firm grip on her arm.

"I'm fine; he just scared me that's all." Michiru loosened her grip around Haruka's arm. Haruka looked back at Ryu and gave him a very angry glare warning him to stay away from Michiru. Ryu stood there watching them leave arm in arm, the anger was building inside him,

"I will get even Haruka, you'll regret the day when you beat me at my now game."
