A Definitive Act
Chapter 4
A/N: No school now, so maybe I can actually update these faster.
It must've been forever, at least that's what it felt like standing there on a lonely shore. A shore that was far too familiar. A shore she wanted to hate but simply couldn't bring herself. Too much happened there; all of which included strong feelings and emotions. The blonde sighed and looked over the darkening sky, "Pathetic."
She put her hands in her pocket and stared down. All day she had been waiting for this "meeting". She hid her anxiousness from her friends. But it now was a little late and she was beginning to give up. The blonde turned away began heading towards her bike.
She paused.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Haruka looked at her watch, "Twenty minutes."
"You're still here."
"I'm shocked too."
Michiru stepped next to Haruka then looked out over the incoming waves that were disappearing as night began to take its shift. "It hasn't changed much, has it?"
"If you mean it's still lonely and full of a lot of nothing good; then yes."
She frowned, "Not everything was bad."
"After it happened, it all was bad."
"We were young"
"What's that matter? A relationship is a relationship..."
"You messed up too" Michiru almost glared.
"No, it was pretty much over. Maybe it wasn't right but you messed up. You were the trick. You ruined it then left." Haruka sounded hurt, her expression was empty.
"I'm really sorry…"
"It's a little late now you know."
"I left because of school. I'm back now."
Haruka looked at her, "No kidding? I had no idea…" She looked like she was in disbelief but it was evident that it was complete sarcasm. "Since you've been back I've been nothing but nice and you've been the hole in my head."
The violinist looked away feeling rather bad for her actions and words since she had been back.
"What did you want to talk about? Was it that… how you played me… the one who now has the infamous reputation for playing? Then left without a damn about how I felt…"
She was quiet. Now she was thinking.
"…I guess it's not exactly that important." The blonde began walking away again. Michiru didn't bother to try and stop her. She sat down on the shore and stared out onto the now barely lit scene of the horizon. The light along the shore were brighter.
In her hand she played with a necklace. It was silver necklace; small yet very pretty. She glared at no one; Michiru knew she had blown it.
"No kidding! What a waste…" Rorei spat coffee everywhere.
It was close to noon and the trio was out at a café getting brunch and coffee. Well Rorei was getting coffee; she didn't even really like the stuff. It puzzled the others as to why she was drinking it the girl didn't need coffee to keep her up. A can of soda would set her off for a few days.
Nikki wiped off her forehead and glared at Rorei, "Yeah... a waste."
The blonde sat back and heaved out a breath. She was still disappointed with last night, maybe she was being too hard on Michiru but then again maybe she deserved it. "I thought it was going to be different. I'm stupid for thinking that."
Nikki arched a brow, leaned over to Rorei and whispered, "She's whipped before anything has happened"
The girl snickered.
Haruka was in her own world talking, "I think I fell into believing that she was always right. What… hey!" She sent a hard look at her two friends who were talking under their breath about her to one another.
"Sorry Ruka! You're just so… dare we say… in love with this girl." Rorei grinned.
The blonde rolled her eyes, "What about you two? Are you two something now… go figure the girl I bring home ends up becoming a close friend and my roommate's girlfriend huh?"
Rorei blushed, "Ruka…"
Nikki stared at Rorei, "What?"
Haruka blinked then smirked, "Oops." She had switched the conversation on them and spilled a pretty big secret. She tried to play innocent… well not really, but she did get what she wanted done.
"Nothing, nothing!" The purple haired girl glared at her blonde friend, Damnit Ruka!
"Well I better get going ladies" Haruka grinned her devilish grin. She got up from table and took her leave.
The girls sat in silence for a few minutes before looking up from table. Nikki finally tapped Rorei on the shoulder, "Yes?" Rorei sounded just a bit nervous.
"Really now?"
It took a few moments for it to sink in that she was talking about Haruka's statement moments earlier. She nodded then was caught by Nikki's lips against hers.
Haruka peered from around the corner and smiled, "Perfect, those two nuts are perfect together…"
Michiru was lying on her bed when Minako walked in. She seemed so gone by what the blonde saw. "You really need to either just get over it or go after Tenoh. Moping is not going to get you anywhere… worrying might give your pretty little face wrinkles."
The blue haired girl rolled over and looked at Minako, "I know but… I feel kind of bad. We had such a good thing going… then my youth hormones took over. You'd expect that from her but not from me but it happened anyway." She shook her head at her wording with a little grin.
"Yeah well, learn from it you can't keep dwelling. Well hey it's the beginning of the school year so maybe you'll meet someone else… but come on the other are waiting." Minako had made it out of the room before Michiru could talk.
She got up; the little silver necklace dangled around her neck neatly, and sighed. Her eyes traveled to the window, I feel like I don't want someone else. I want that damn jerk… how ironic.
Michiru pulled her hair back into a pony tail, got her coat and left. Outside Rei and Minako were waiting; Makato was in the driver's seat of the car on the phone yelling something about a boy named Tai at school.
"She's so loud sometimes…" Rei spoke in reference to the brunette in the car.
"At least she has good taste, that Tai guy is pretty much adorable. He's like the bad boy in the boy band." Minako smiled.
"Rock stars are better" Rei folded her arms looking at Michiru, "Hey you're kind of almost not moping!"
"I'm not moping!"
"You're eyes are giving you away. Those big blue eyes deceive you sometimes."
Michiru stared, Sounds like something Haruka would say to me. It was something, she thought back four years ago when she was upset and crying.
Flashback
"You've been crying." A younger Haruka spoke quietly yet firmly to the young violinist who looked back with somewhat red eyes.
"No I'm just really tired…"
"Those pretty blue eyes deceive you. Tears aren't your thing… you're too pretty to cry."
"MICHI HEY GET IN THE DAMN CAR!" Makato honked the horn a few times letting it ring a few times.
"Sorry… jeeze." She looked away for a moment then back at the girls and smiled.
"I think she had a flashback…" Minako blinked.
(AN: could you imagine them in a car... seeing like a thought bubble vanish... very excell saga ish... haha just a thought )
The students ran across the halls and into the lunch room, from middle school kids to the high school teens. Nikki and Rorei were sitting at a table with one another waiting on their blonde friend. "I'm surprise you actually got transferred here." Rorei commented.
"Hell my last school sucked" the brunette shrugged and smiled, "This place is a little more alive."
"What's that mean?"
"School, anywhere, sucks…" She nodded and bit into her sandwich.
"You think after being here for so long people would catch on and just leave me alone?" Haruka threw down her things on the table.
The girls looked up then Nikki spoke up, "You think lunch anywhere after while would taste better." They all looked at what a younger kid was walking around with on a tray. "I bet if you poked that thing it'd groan. Yuck…"
Rorei pointed, "Ruka's fan club, look out…"
"She has a fan club?"
"Basically, those girls follow her around school like she's the last man on the face of the planet."
Nikki grinned, "They don't know…"
"They do… but they swear that I'm not. Most of them don't really care though. They like me for my status and appearance. Shallow, much?" The blonde replied.
"Especially her, then one with the banging body and pretty eyes and perfect hair. Of course every guy oogles her, she plays with them, yet still tries to woo Ruka here… I think you should mess with her head." Rorei pointed out then suggested, "Remember when she looked like ass?"
"And ate with the girls who don't eat anything?" Haruka smirked and nodded, "She's definitely become more attractive. For everyone's sake."
The girl made her way over to their table and snaked her way onto Haruka's lap, the blonde rolled her eyes then looked at her, "Hi, Rya" she didn't sound too thrilled.
"So, Ruka-chan… you me… after school sounds good."
"I don't like walking into situations where the threat of the plague breeds."
Rorei and Nikki bit their tongues to keep from laughing. The two couldn't believe Haruka would make such a smartass comment; maybe one of them but normally never Haruka.
"Oh ouch, sweetie…"
From across the room Michiru and her trio were sitting. Her blue drifted around and fell upon Haruka and this, Rya girl. She felt heart strings pull.
"She's at it again" Rei spoke.
Makato looked up, "You almost got to feel bad for Haruka. She's got to deal with the school's slut every year."
Minako giggled, "Looks like we've lost Michiru again."
She stared catching the conversation; a little relieved to her the girl was a bit free with herself. She knew Haruka wouldn't give into that… at least she hoped so. It looked like she was trying hard to get Haruka too, the way she had her arms around her neck and the way she sat on her lap.
Rei leaned over, "It could be you" She pushed the girl, "Go get her."
"What the hell am I suppose to do?!" Michiru sounded annoyed but frustrated not by the shove but by the girl.
The three girls shrugged grinning in silence and waving their lost friend off to the other table.
Disgusting…this girl is gross… how short does her skirt need to be… there's no way she's really fitting into that…what the--! What is that! Michiru approached them slowly.
Rya turned her eyes away from Haruka for the moment and to the staring Michiru, "Can I help you?" she asked in a snobby voice.
"Oh this is going to be interesting" Nikki nudged her lover.
"Yeah… what the hell is that?"
"What?"
"That, right there under your shirt… is that a blemish on your seemingly perfect body that you flaunt around but fail to really woo anybody because your just a toy and nothing someone could honestly every love?"
Rya sent Michiru a glare that would burn holes through walls. She turned back around and pulled Haruka in.
"Oh no the kamikaze is going in for the attack!" Rorei yelled as she and Nikki watched Rya's lips come close to Haruka's. Nikki gasped sarcastically then spoke as Michiru shoved the girl away, "And the bomber has saved the day". The two snickered at Rya who was screaming on the floor, "Not today sweetheart." They both fell into a silence that the other three girls across the room had matched.
All eyes were on the two.
Michiru and Haruka's lips met in a sudden rush of passion.
Mm that's some kind of cliffie.
