Time Trials

Disclaimer: No matter how much I may wish, whine, or beg I will never own Sailor Moon or any of the characters. If I did the show would revolve around the outers and the inners would just be side characters. This chapter goes out to my dedicated readers.

Story so far: Haruka and Michiru have been struggling. Haruka is running herself ragged in an attempt to escape her nightmares while Michiru has a new male friend that is driving Haruka nuts. Everything comes to a head in a huge fight, but Haruka returns vowing to spend more time with Michiru. Just when everything start to turn around for the couple over-zealous fans appear, it seems that the pair have to start breaking down and sending a firm signal to all their fans. But will the Fans accept that the two are happily taken, or will Haruka's pactient with them run out?

Chapter 9: Good Times

Michiru was so happy when class finally ended. Her afternoon with Haruka had left her giddy making it hard to sit still and concentrate the whole time, not to mention the blush she got everytime she caught Haruka's eyes. Her face must have been red the entire class period. She glanced over at the blonde while packing up her bookbag noticing a classmate shyly chatting up her lover. Michiru sighed and surpressed her possesiveness. As she approached the two the girl handed ruka what looked to be a small peice of paper before leaving the room quickly.

"What was that all about, love?" The violinist asked. Haruka shrugged and turned to her bag.

"Just some fangirl, you know how it is." The racer smiled at her girlfriend swinging her bag over her shoulder.

"Hmm, so what did she give you?" Michi teased. She wrapped her arm around the blonde's as they walked through the school hallway. She leaned against Haruka's shoulder ignoring the looks and whispers of their fellow classmates.

Haruka shrugged "Just some letter her friends most likely convinced her to write, full of their adoration and undying love, the ussual." she grinned down at the aqua-haired girl and winked. Michi giggled as she let go of Ruka to open her locker.

"Awww, my poor baby is being showered in affection!" Michiru teased as the blonde rolled her eyes opening her locker. "You know you love it, Ruka." She accused as both lockers closed. Haruka just rolled her eyes again resisting the urge to stick her tounge out at the other girl in public. They walked the rest of the way to the auditorium in companionable silence. A bright smile spread across the smaller girl's lips as Haruka opened the door for her.

"Are you walking me in today?" She asked in delighted surprised ussually they split up outside the auditorium. The racer smiled at her love's happy face.

"I have some time before the track coach needs me, I figured I could meet your instructor and maybe some of the other musicians... If that's alright?" Michiru pulled Haruka into the building latching onto her arm again.

"it's more then alright, Koi. It's perfect!" The violinist was overjoyed as she lead her racer through the hallway to the room where she practices. Her instructor smiled as the couple walked in.

"So this must be the famous blonde racer I've been hearing about." The older woman teased looking Haruka over as the girl blushes. Michiru giggled at her lover's embarrasment.

"Sensei, may I introduce Haruka Tenoh, Haruka this is Ivanova Saito, my violin instructor." She smiled as the two shook hands.

"It's a pleasure to fianlly meet you Haruka." Ivanova said smiling brightly. "I was wondering if Michiru was ever going to bring you by."

The blonde smiled. "The pleasure is all mine Saito-sensei, Michiru speaks very highly of you." The older woman playfully waved off the compliment. "Well I should head off to the gym. I'll see you afterwards Michi-chan." Ruka smiled and waved as she left the two women to their lesson.

"That's quite the charmer you have there Michiru-chan" Ivanova smiled at her pupil. "Let's get to work now." Michiru grinned and brought her violin up.

As Michiru started her lesson Haruka was in the gym locker's putting on her track uniform. She was lacing up her cross-trainers as the rest of the team cam wandering in. She smiled up at them as they greated her. Ignoring the whispers her now obvious hickey was causeing the blonde grabbed her water bottle and towel walking out of the locker room to take some warm up laps before practice began.

Later that day Haruka quietly closed the heavy auditorium door as she made her way down the aisle. She sat down halfway to the stage smiling at her love who was currently enrapt in the music. She leaned back in her seat and shut her eyes relaxing as she let the sound of the string quartet flow over her.

Michiru glanced up when she heard the door and smiled as she watched her love sit down. She closed her eyes and poured her feelings intoher violin.

The session ended ten minuets later and Michiru politely accepted the praise of her fellow musicians as they packed their instruments away. She smiled as the male musician from the other night walked over.

"You played beautifully today Michiru-san." He smiled at her charmingly. "Did you need a ride tonight?" he asked hoisting his chello case off his seat. Michiru shook her head and geastured to the blonde walking up to the stage.

"My ride is already here. but thank you for the offer." He looked dissapointed as Haruka walked up to them. The racer looked the boy over suspiciously.

"You're the one who waited with Michi the other day right?" The blonde asked. He nodded causiously narrowing his eyes at the nickname. "Well thanks for looking after her... I never got your name..." The brown haired boy seemed to become colder at the blonde's presence.

"Yukio, Yukio Sasaki." He replied sharply.

"Well thanks Sasaki-san" She turned practically dismissing him. "I'll go get the car and meet you out front." She kissed Michiru's forehead and walked out as Michi helped the other musicians put the chairs and stands away.

Yukio walked the aqua-haired girl out almost fuming. "Saito-sensei said you were leaving the quartet after the recital. You'releaving because of Tenoh-san aren't you?" His voice was accusing.

Michiru was surprised but she nodded. "We need more time together." She explained and walked over to Haruka watching him storm off absolutely fuming now.

" He looked pissed." Ruka commented as she opened the door for Michi. The smaller girl only shrugged.

"Let's just go home Ruka-koi."

Haruka Swept the other girl into her arms as the door to their apartment swung closed. The aqua-haired girl squeaked and wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck as they kissed.

"Some one's got plans..." She teased as she was carried to the bedroom.

"Damn right !" Haruka nodded laying her lover on the bed. "I plan to make love to you all night." She purred into the smaller girl's ear as she stripped her partner.

Michiru couldn't help but grin. Today had been a great day and their passion would end it perfectly. She wrapped her tounge around her love's as hands wandered over her smooth skin. She quickly unbuttoned Ruka's shirt and pants pulling them off before pulling the blonde down ontop of her. A moan escaped her lips as strong fingers carressed her thigh and slid higher.

"OH kami... Ruka..." She groaned as her lover passionately claimed her body and soul.
