Your World and Mine

-The Duel-

"I thought you weren't going to come"

Michiru stared at the handsome face before her. It was less than 20 hours ago since she saw the man that had made her heart flutter, but the same man had abandoned her in the middle of panic and the aqua-haired girl had no room to think about what she'll do to the blonde when she sees him again because of a certain incident.

"Unlike someone, I wouldn't break my own promise" she said lightly, sitting on the chair in front the blonde with elegance. They were at their previous eating place.

Haruka smiled as he lower his tea cup slowly "did I really?" but the aqua-haired girl didn't give an answer. Michiru is mad at him. And this just proves something that made the blonde even happier.

-O-O-O-

Last night, Setsuna had told Michiru everything about what happened to her at the party. According to the magician, Michiru, who had some magician blood in herself as well, had succeeded in awakening her magic. Michiru already had the core of the magic inside of her all this time, she only needs to draw it out from within her.

"B-but…why hasn't anybody told me before?" Michiru was shocked way more than Setsuna had expected.

Setsuna stared at the younger girl, as though she was pondering about her answer.

"Because…it's…not the time yet" she said somewhat lamely "everyone had their own time to discover the magic within themselves"

Michiru blinked and pause filled the air between them. Setsuna stared back at her Garnet Rod which has been glowing since Michiru had acknowledged her magic in that very room.

"Michiru. Whatever happens…" Setsuna turned her deep eyes on Michiru's glowing teals of sapphire "do not. I repeat, do not tell any of this to your father"

Michiru raised her eyebrows. If discovering her magic means a good thing, why does telling it to her father was forbidden? The look on her face was enough to make Setsuna answered the unasked question.

"Because I don't think he will be very happy about it"

-O-O-O-

"Are you alright?" Haruka leaned across the table at the silent girl in front of him Michiru snapped out of her daydreaming instantly "you seem quiet. What happens?"

"other than you leaving me in the dark alone? No, nothing happened that concerns you"

'Ouch' Haruka grimaced guiltily. It was against his will leaving Michiru alone last night, but after Mamoru as the Masked Tuxedo disappearance by that petal storm, he tried coming back to the party to fetch Michiru. But the surprised appearance of the Southern Army had stopped him and Mamoru in their steps and decided to flee for the night. If they hadn't came he might got back and walk her home, if he's lucky enough. Haruka scratched the back of his neck in uneasily, he kept trying to catch the girl's eyes, but Michiru kept her stares to her tea cup.

"Right. Look, I'm sorry I had to leave you alone last night. But believe me, if I had the choice, I'd rushed to you right away and get you out of there"

Michiru looked at him with elegantly raised eyebrows " ' If I had the choice ' ? "

Haruka blinked as he tried to gather his composure, Michiru looked very cute with that pose on. He gave a little cough and nod "er, yeah. The…Army blocked my way in. They sealed the entrance"

This seems to does the trick, Michiru's iciness melt as she lowered down her cup. "their appearance also surprised me" she said slowly "Father didn't tell me they were coming"

Haruka raised his tea cup back to his mouth "Father?"

"Yes, he's the Southern Governor"

Haruka choked on his tea, gagged, spluttered and tried his best not to spray the pretty girl in front of him with it. And the tea ended up dribbled down his front. Grabbing a napkin and clean up, he looked up at Michiru's amused stare, as though nothing had happened.

"You're the Governor's daughter!?"

Michiru nodded, amused at Haruka's extreme reaction to this fact. "how come you're so surprised?"

Haruka gulped and looked around to cover up for his mess "er…nothing. Nothing at all" 'shit. This is not in the plan!' Haruka was ready to kick himself. How smooth, he's hitting on a girl whose Father was his group's biggest rival and enemy. One false move…and they're done.

Michiru continued to peer suspiciously at Haruka, but the blonde didn't have anything more to say on the matter and she decided to drop it.

"And it seems that the Silver Arrows had infiltrated the southern Army as well" Haruka looked up to this piece of news, his bread frozen in mid air "a disguised soldier almost shot an arrow at an innocent lady…I cant believe they could be so…so…inhuman" Michiru could felt her liking for the Silver Arrows dropped a notch. She though they work for the citizens, but it turns out that they're just the same stinking people that only cared for their own stinking skin.

Michiru looked up at the blonde to say something, but the words suddenly died in her mouth.

The usual pleasant sparkle on Haruka's teal eyes had disappeared and was replaced by a raging burst of fire that made the orbs glowed in anger. Michiru could almost see smoke appearing in Haruka's tea as the blonde was glowering so hard at it, a fire might appear.

'Some bastard is framing us…' the blonde dared to swear that nobody under the name of Silver Arrows would injure the innocents, women and children. That person couldn't be someone from their side, besides there is no plan in infiltrating the army. Attacking from the front always brings victory to their side, why should they start playing dirty?

"Haruka?" the aqua-haired girl asks softly, jerking the blonde out of his reverie "are you alright? You look angry"

Haruka shook his head, trying to calm his anger and tried to put on his usual calm composure "yes, I'm fine. I'm not angry"

"Because it should be me who got angry at you, who are hitting on my fiancé"

Haruka stood up alertly as Michiru looked up to see the owner of the voice she had less liking for. Seiya was there, his back stiff and his eyes glaring enmity at Haruka. He grabbed Michiru's arm and pulled her to her feet.

"Seiya!" she exclaimed in shock "what are you doing here?"

"That should be MY question. What the hell are you doing here with that bastard?" his blue eyes blazed with anger and jealousy as it stared hard at the girl. But Michiru didn't falter at his gaze.

"It is NOT any of your problems! And for your informations, I am not your fiancé!" Michiru wrenched her arm free of Seiya's grasp and stepped back. Haruka instinctively move to her front, shielding her with her right hand clutched tightly at the handle of his sword.

"Get you hands off her" his pleasant voice dropped an octave lower in anger

Seiya glowered at him and unsheathed his sword in one swift move just as Haruka done the same and both blades clashes in mid-air, sparks of fire flew at the contact. Michiru didn't expect this to happen, as the guys raised their swords again, she dashed to Haruka and held back his arms.

"No, Haruka. Don't!" she said to the blonde, who didn't keep his eyes off Seiya "you could get arrested for fighting in public!"

"I don't care about that at this moment" the blonde answered "if you go back with that man, he could just kill you and throw your body to the river"

"Haruka, please" Michiru grab hold of the blonde's face and turn those eyes to hers "don't worry I'll be fine. Please stop, Seiya" she turned to the black-haired man "let's go home"

Seiya was still glaring at the blonde who had sheathed back his sword. Under the gazes of the people around them, it's not wise to continue the fight. He returns his blade to its place and grabbed Michiru's upper arm and turned to leave the place. But then he stopped in his tracks.

"Tomorrow. Sundown. I challenge you to a duel. At the seaside cliff" his eyes clashes once more with the handsome blonde's teal. Michiru's eyes widened, doesn't she have a saying about this?

"I accept" Haruka glowered at him with the same amount of enmity before the black haired man left the place, dragging Michiru along with him.

The aqua-haired girl looked back and saw Haruka blew her a kiss. Her heart seemed to skip a beat.

'Relax' he mouthed to her 'take care!' he smiled and as they went aboard a carriage, Michiru looked back to found that the blonde had gone.

-O-O-O-

"What in the world do you think you are doing!" Michiru said angrily to Seiya after they reached her manor.

The black haired man took off his sword and put it on his study before saying calmly "Saving you of course. Scums like him only wants your money and someone like him doesn't deserve to be looking at your eyes"

Michiru was highly affronted.

"For your information, Haruka's not that kind of guy! He's very nice and kind and he even saved my life!" if it was lady-like to spit someone, she might have been spraying Seiya with spit at this moment.

"Besides, Haruka is better than you! He respects woman! He doesn't treat women like a pile of rubbish!"

Seiya was ticked off and he grabbed Michiru's arm roughly as he pulled the girl closer to her.

"Don't. you. Ever. Compare. Me. With. That. Bastard." His whispers were venomous. Michiru flinched seeing the murderous look in his eyes. Right at that moment the door to the study opened with a bang and Usagi came in, with a couple of maids behind her.

"Michiru!" she was greatly surprised by their frozen pose, in which Seiya grabbed Michiru roughly by her arm, and she glared at Seiya.

The black-haired man realized his actions and let go. Red finger marks were seen on Michiru's bare upper arm. The aqua-haired girl quickly walked towards her cousin before Seiya's next words came.

"This time I'll let you off the hook" he said with Michiru's back on him "next time I see you with him, you'll have your father to answer to"

Without another words, Michiru stormed off the room with Usagi and the maids right behind her.

Seiya was still glowering after her back when a voice came out from no where , a voice that is as cold as a dungeon and as deadly as a snake's poison

"That person will be an obstacle in our way. Eliminate him right away"

"My pleasure" Seiya answered as he fingered the blade of his sword which glinted as though in response.

A/N: I don't quite like Seiya no matter what the reason is and it's still a great question 'why'. Either way, R/R!!
