This chapter was VERY hard for me to write...I found myself skipping it and I got all the way up to chapter 14 before I was able to finish this one...lol...
Guardian Angel
Chapter 4
Michiru returned from her appointment after three hours, a smile plastered on her face. The doctor told her that she was 6 weeks pregnant. She was also given information about eating healthier and how to exercise to keep both herself and her baby healthy. She hummed softly as she proceeded to make up chicken salads for dinner that night. Her next appointment was set up for three months down the road. At that time she'd find out whether or not it was going to be a boy or a girl. Most of her was hoping it was a girl, but on the flip side she knew that Takada would hate her for having a girl.
"Hello handsome." Michiru smiled as she peered around the corner as her husband walked through the front door. He didn't respond to her as he took off his jacket and slipped off his shoes. "Are you alright?" He approached her and backhanded her. "What did I do?"
He never answered her as he beat her until she passed out. He had only done this once before and it was because he was reprimanded at his job for being late. He blamed her for it.
Michiru awoke after a few hours when her stomach churned. She pulled herself to her feet and slowly made her way into the downstairs bathroom.
"What the hell are you doing?" Takada pounded on the closed door before jiggling the locked handle. "Open up you stupid bitch!" Once again he tried to turn the handle. His blood boiled when he heard the woman on the other side let out a loud gagging noise. "Why can't you grow up? You can control the nausea if you just try to. You need to hurry up I'm getting hungry!"
Food was the last thing she wanted at that moment in time. All she wanted to do was curl up on the floor and allow herself to fall asleep. But she knew that couldn't happen. She couldn't allow herself to fall asleep.
She took a deep breath to keep down the bubbles that were gurgling in her throat as she stood up. "I'm coming Takada. What would you like for dinner?" She sighed when he only huffed and sat at the table. "How about salads?" She watched him, his eyes finally met hers.
"Are you really that stupid? Do I look like a fucking rabbit you fat little pig? I'm not the one that has to watch their weight, you are. I don't give a shit if you're pregnant; I'm not going to be married to an oinker. I want a steak, and you can eat a salad, do you understand me?"
She nodded and proceeded to make their separate meals. Once he would leave for work in the morning; however, she'd be able to get something more to eat. She would just have to wait until that time.

Michiru frowned as she looked at Takada. He knew she had visited the doctor today. It's been just about three months since she first discovered her pregnancy. She wanted nothing more then to lie to him and tell him she was having the boy that he wanted.
"And what are you having?" He stpped closer to her as she backed away.
"They weren't sure yet..."
"Don't lie to me!" he raised his hand to strike her across the cheek.
She gasped and gripped her cheek in pain. "I want to keep it. They told me it's a girl."
"You stupid whore, did you tell them you wanted an abortion?" Michiru shook her head. "Either you make an appointment to get one or I'll make sure you lose that baby." He shoved her into the wall to make sure she understood that he was serious. "I want proof that you got one done. You have until Friday..." He turned and walked away from her.
-Friday Afternoon-
Michiru bit her lip as she watched Takada's car pull into the driveway. She had spent the past two days trying to get in touch with several clinics around Tokyo. Each of them was booked through next week.
"I want to see your release slip." He shouted as he walked through the front door.
"I couldn't get in for an appointment."
"Don't fucking lie to me." He started to climb the steps to get to her.
"I'm not lying to you. I called all of them, they were all booked through next week."
"Why do you continue to lie to me?" he grabbed her hair and slammed her against the wall.
"Call them then." She fought back.
"It wasn't my responsibility to call them. I don't believe you that all of them were completely booked up. How many other little whores are there in this city?"
"Takada you're hurting me!" she shouted as he pulled on her hair.
"Good, I have to show you how wrong you are." He easily overpowered her as he flung her toward the staircase. She reached blindly for the railing but couldn't get a solid grip as she fell. Her vision went black before she landed at the bottom.
OK...A lot of you were asking "Where's Haruka?" So here's a small preview of the next chapter:
The man didn't reply as he stood up from his seat. "Suoh take a break, look over your music, I'll be right back." He hurried up the walkway and out into the lobby area. He nearly stopped in his tracks when his eyes landed on her. She was just as gorgeous as he remembered. "Michiru…it's been a while." He approached her with a smile on his face.
She looked up at him and tilted her head to the side. She thought for a moment before her eyes went wide. "Haruka! Oh my god it's been forever!" She stood up to hug him. "You haven't changed a bit. I didn't know you were the conductor of the orchestra, you've moved up a little bit in 6 years."
That's all you're getting...you little mooches...don't forget to review :)
