here's the next chapter. It's speedy work, but it's done. . . Enjoy.

"Come on Michi" Haruka shouted storing the dried mop into the pantry.

"Coming" Instead of her normal lady like way of doing things she slid down the rail of the stairs the get down faster.

"Now I've seen it all" Haruka rolled her eyes.

"You're turning into such a cute little girl." Michiru taunted.

"Let's go over a few rules today. Number 1, no barfing on my sweatshirt."

Michiru looked down and blushed.

"Number two, no taunting me in public and you know what I mean by taunt." It was Haruka's turn to blush, remembering how well Michiru was at teasing her without trying to. "And three is, try not to make me go bankrupt."

"Is that it?" Michiru asked as she grabbed her coat.

"I'll make up rules as we go along. Are you ok in cars or do we have to walk?"

"I'm alright in cars depending on how long I'm in it" Michiru replied opening the front door.

While Haruka set the house alarm. Walking out she grabbed the car keys to her silver convertible and walked out locking the door behind her. " where we headed first." Haruka asked as she hopped into the car.

"Victoria secret" Michiru giggled as Haruka scowled at her

"Can we go some where else first and go there last. How about we go house shopping." Haruka said turning away from Michiru averting her attention back to the road.

"That sounds fun; we should get lights to go in Setsuna's bed room. Seeing how she doesn't have any in there. And her black curtains are always pulled closed." Michiru sighed.

Ever sense she had entered Setsuna's room by accident one day she had been trying to get Setsuna to put lights in her room.

Flashback

"Wow its dark in here" Michiru said reaching for the light switch but found none. "Odd"

"What do you want" a voice called out from the shadows.

"Sorry I was just looking for the guest room." Michiru hurriedly tired to close the door a hand stopped it from closing.

A beautifully pale woman step out into the hall way. He long dark green hair even warped in a bun almost touched the floor. She wore a white tank to and black cargo pants. To Michiru she looked about 6"5. The woman's eyes were mesmerizing. Michiru found her self stuck. Unable to pull away from mysterious wonders the women's eyes held.

"The guest rooms are any of those three doors." She pointed down the hallway. "I'm assuming you know where Roo's room is"

Michiru nodded.

Haruka jogged up the stairs to find both of the love of her lives staring at each other.

"Let me guess you opened her room door thinking it was a guest room." Haruka walked over to the towel closet after they both nodded. "I don't see how you thought that room was a guest room, sense it has no lights." Haruka commented slighting teasing Setsuna.

"I have a window that provides more then enough light."

"Is that why I couldn't see anything when I walked in." Michiru slightly mumbled.

Causing Haruka to Laugh and Setsuna to glare at her. "Sounds like enough light to me." Haruka said after the laughter died down.

"I still don't know who this is" Setsuna said still icily glaring at Haruka. "Oh, my apologies. Setsuna this is Michiru, Michiru this is Setsuna. Happy?" Haruka asked.

"No" Was Setsuna's reply. Haruka stuck her tongue out at her.

"Anyway Michiru that's the dogs room." Haruka was too late Michiru had already opened the door a huge black labor retriever ran out off his room and into Setsuna's.

"Not another blonde" Setsuna sighed.

"I heard that Set, Be nice to her she hasn't done anything."

"Yet" Setsuna nearly hissed. Walking back into her room she half closed half slammed the door.

"She's got a quick temper." Michiru spoke quietly.

"No, she doesn't, that why I'm worried about her" Haruka grabbed Michiru's hand.

"lets go its better to leave her alone, until she wants to talk."

"Will she ever want to talk?" Michiru asked quietly.

"No, but I have a way of making her spill what's bothering her."

"Maybe if she had some lights in her room she wouldn't be so dark."

"Or so pale" Haruka added in after a moment.

End Flashback

"Ya know you should really leave her alone about the whole lights thing." Haruka finally commented.

"Just a little lamp, how does she see in there? It's spooky." Michiru replied. A small shiver going down her spine.

"I've never asked you this before but... is she your girlfriend?"

"Umm" its took Haruka a minute to answer. She blushed and said "No"

"If the answer was no why did you hesitate." Michiru's voice trailed off.

"Well I've known Setsuna sense we were 3 and I asked her out when we were 14 and she just stared at me. You know the look, the one where it looks like she's looking into your soul through your eyes. And she shook her head no, it's hurt for a while but I've never lost that love I had for her. Don't think I ever will."

"Oh do you know why she said no?" Michiru asked out of curiosity.

"She never told me. Then again maybe she did"

flash back

"Hey Set" Haruka resettled her backpack on her back and took Setsuna's books.

'Well everything seems normal' Setsuna thought as she handed her books to Haruka.

"Hey Roo" Setsuna replied.

"Ya know I've wanted to ask you something." Setsuna looked over at a madly blushing Haruka.

"Yeah and what's that" Setsuna asked sitting down on a bench underneath a Sakura tree.

"uuhh, well ya k-k-know we've been f-f-friends f-f-for a real long t-t-time now and I was uuhh..." Haruka stuttered nervously.

"Are you ok?" concern appeared on Setsuna's elegant face.

"Willyougooutwithme?" Haruka blurted out. Not missing a word her friend said Setsuna just stared at her.

'I can't' she said in her mind 'why not?' the back of her mind asked.

'She's my best friend'

'She could be your best lover' the back of her mind replied.

'She's not meant for me' She shook her head. "I can't Roo..."

"Oh, umm ok then it's alright" 'truth be told I wanna cry' Haruka thought Sensing the tears of her friend Setsuna hugged her close. Handing her a handkerchief. She whispered. "You were meant for some else."

'What the hell's that suppose to mean!' Haruka whimpered "I don't wanna belong to some one else, I wanna belong to you!"

'She wants to belong to me!?!' Setsuna thought.

"Come on lets go home" Haruka said gathering Setsuna's books.

Setsuna took her free hand.

They walked home silently holding hands.

"I don't think she knows how much I care about her." Haruka admitted.

"have you thought about telling her?" Michiru asked.

"yes but I thought it would just push her farther away from me."

"oh"
