So, wanna know Michiru secret? Read on, and please! Review, or you'll regret, muahahaha!!
"Okay, class! We're going to have a 3 days trip to the beach next week, anyone interested?" Miss Isabel asked just as she stepped into the classroom. She had always been like that, rushing things. She didn't expect the trip to be so welcoming. Almost the whole class raised their hands, and Michiru was the first. Haruka, on the other hand… As usual, didn't like those kinds of stuff. She would rather spend her time in private. She hated to mix in a group, but in some ways, she still attracted lots of people to her.
"Good to see that everyone's participating. Haruka, you have no choice but to go along too." She stated like an instruction. Upon hearing that, Haruka slammed her head down onto the table, sighing heavily. Why me…
When the class started, Haruka started doing her own things again. She placed the closed text book on the table and looked out the window. Sigh… How I wish I could be as free as the birds… The trees were rustling and Haruka could tell that the wind wanted play with her. Sorry, guys… I'm in class… She turned her attention to the girl sitting next to her. I still can't figure out what was happening last night… She frowned, eyes never leaving the aquamarine haired girl. Michiru, noticing she was being watched, blushed a little. S-She's blushing?? Haruka quickly turned back to the front with a flushed face, pretending to pay attention to Miss Isabel. Why was she looking at me? Michiru smiled a little to herself.
"Kaiou Michiru, what is so funny, may I ask?" Miss Isabel's voice startled her, which made her blushed more as the whole class laid their eyes on her.
"N-Nothing, Miss Isabel." She could hear the blonde chuckling beside her.
"You too, Tennou Haruka. This is no laughing matter!"
"Michiru, want a ride home?" She had just declined her the previous day and now, she was the one who's inviting her. Haruka helped Michiru with her books and headed to her bike without waiting for an answer. Why is she calling me with only Michiru? She shook her head.
"M-Matte, Haruka-san!" Michiru could easily catch up with her, to Haruka's surprise.
"How could you be so fast? I'm the fastest in Japan!" Haruka shouted back. Why did she call me so formally again??
"Looks like you met your match, Haruka-san…" Michiru giggled. Haruka hurried her pace to her bike which was parked across the street.
"Try this for your size, Michiru-san!" Haruka yelledI think I better call her back in the formal way… Michiru ran faster, as if she was chased by a pack of wild animals. She was adjusting her pace with Haruka's.
"I'm first!" Haruka panted as she reached her bike. "Michiru-san?" She couldn't see any sign of Michiru. "Michiru-san?" She called her repeatedly. Maybe something had happened to her… She thought as she ran back.
There, she saw a familiar figure struggling to get back onto her feet. "Michiru-san! Doshita?" She rushed forward, helping the other up.
"I think I strained my ankle." Came the reply. She touched her right ankle gently.
"Don't move!" Haruka sounded worried. And she really was. She took off her school jacket and on Michiru. Slowly, she lifted the shorter girl, causing Michiru to flinch a little. "Gomene, did I hurt you?" She looked down with her gentlest gaze, ever. She sighed out a relieve when Michiru shook her head in reply.
As se reached her bike, she laid Michiru against her chest, making sure Michiru stayed comfortably. "Are you alright like this?" She asked with the same tone.
"H-Hai…" Michiru nuzzled closer to her, blushing as Haruka started her engines.
"Yikes! Haruka-san, what are you doing? Carrying Michiru-san like that?" Kousuke asked when he saw the blonde parking her bike in the garage. He was about to dispose some rubbish.
"Jeez, Kousuke-san, move aside with your rubbish!" Haruka quickly tightened her embrace, not wanting the germs to infect Michiru. Michiru blushed deeper.
"Don't tell me… You guys are dating??!" Kousuke's eyes widen.
"M-Matte, Kousuke-san, it's not what you think! You see, Michiru's hurt and I have to bring her back to her room!" She stammered to find the right explanation.
"Oh, now it's just Mi-chi-ru?!" He crossed his hands against his chest, acting childish. "I hate you, Haruka-san!" He stormed up stairs, leaving the bag of rubbish behind. "Huh?!" Haruka lifted an eyebrow. I was saying that in a third person's view! She shook off the thought and head towards her room, only to be seen by another one of her friend… Well, this time, it wasn't exactly a 'friend'. "Stephanie?! Aren't you supposed to be in school?" She moved back a little. She was getting really tired with carrying Michiru, but she didn't show any signs of it on the surface.
"That's none of your business, now… Let me see… What do I think of the position between the both of you?" She said it with a slight annoyance in it. Haruka rolled her eyes in frustration.
"Get outta the way, Stephanie!" She pushed her aside.
"Tennou Haruka! Get back down here!" Haruka ignored her. "Haruka! You'll regret this day!" She cursed her.
"Stay here, don't move…" Haruka slammed the door behind her and laid Michiru on her bed, which was a much better quality than Michiru's, meaning, it's softer. Hesitating, she placed a light kiss on Michiru's forehead, a sign that she's going to be alright and headed down to the kitchen.
S-She kissed me! Michiru thought with a bright smile, touching her forehead. Am I dreaming? She moved a little, only to fall hard onto the ground between her bed and Haruka's. O-Ouch! I'm not dreaming! I-I'm not BREAMING!! Breaming?! What am I tal- She heard a slam on the door. "MICHIRU-SAN! I TOLD YOU NOT TO MOVE" Haruka's voice filled the room. At first, it startled Michiru to get such scolding from her roommate but soon, she realized the meaning behind her words; Haruka was worried for her. She blushed a little when she was once again, lifted in the other's arms and lay onto the bed.
"Gomene, Haruka-san… Gomene…"
"Stop apologizing!" Haruka yelled at her as she recalled the previous incident, the incident which Michiru kept apologizing to her for no reason. "Why do you keep apologizing?! Like yesterday! You apologized and I don't even know what was happening! Why can't you tell me?!" Haruka threw the ice pack which she had brought up from the kitchen across the room in anger.
Michiru trembled and moved back a little. This was the first time she seen Haruka so angry. What did she do wrong yesterday? She couldn't recall anything. "D-Did I apologize to you yesterday?" She knew she shouldn't ask but she had to know. Haruka was acting strange.
Nani?What the heck is wrong with her?"Forget it!"Haruka slammed the door behind her as she exited the room. Michiru looked down onto the bed. She saw water droplets stains on the bed sheet and felt her cheeks getting wetter by the seconds, until she realized that they were her own tears.
W-What's going on? Did I do wrong? Another drop of tear found their way to the surface. "Why is Haruka-san acting this way?" She said thoughtfully.
"Michiru…" She looked up as she heard someone calling to her. She quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting anyone to see her cry on the third day there.
"Dare?"
"Michiru… Watashi wa Mika…" She heard the voice again. This time, she could hear the other's voice clearer. It sounded like her own voice, which scared her.
"W-Where are you? Show yourself!"
"I'm Mika…" Just when the Mika finished her sentence, a blur figure which looked almost like Michiru appeared in front of her. Mika slowly opened her eyes as her figure became clearer by the seconds. "We share the same body… And I had made a vow to protect you from others…" Mika was in a white, long gown which was made out of soft silk, really soft. It seemed that it would shatter into pieces any time. Although she looked exactly the same as Michiru, but somehow, she could tell the difference. Her eyes… They were filled with hatred, as if she had been locking years of hatred in herself for a very long time.
"But how?"
"This happened years ago… I don't think you would remember… Your father brainwashed you right after that incident, Michiru…"
"How do I know I could trust you with what you're saying?" Michiru asked, she was unsure.
"If you don't, who would?"
