Here we go


Chapter 11

She raised her arm up and covered her eyes with the back of her hand as the sun's rays invaded the whole room. With her other hand, she pulled the curtains to the other end, covering the glass window and thus bringing darkness back to the room. She moved her body to the other side and continued with her sleep. Our dear blonde suddenly held for dear life when rhythmic loud knocks penetrated her ear drums. Her slightly ajar eyes suddenly bolted as the person behind these disturbing knocks suddenly voiced out Haruka's name. The horror on our poor heroine's face could be seen clearly as thoughts started spreading all around her mind. And as if to annoy her even more, this deep, hoarse voice became more feral. She stood up, stomping her feet towards the main door.

Voices arguing beneath the rectangular molave carved door which separates the tranquil atmosphere from the chaotic world outside can be heard.

"I really don't get why you have to sing her name out."

"And as I told you, it's a secret code."

"What's the secret behind that crap?!"

"If I tell you the secret behind, as you would put it 'crap', it wouldn't be a secret any longer."

She grabbed the knob and turned it. The door flew, as expected, tremendously wide open, banging sound in the background. And to no surprise, her dearly beloved virginal friend with such raging hormones stood in front of her, arguing with no other than a woman she least (perhaps) expected early this morning. The two stopped, and turned their heads (cracking sounds coming from their necks) to Haruka. The two then flashed one nervous yet impish smile on their faces.

"Why am I not surprise to see you both?" Haruka said indifferently.

"Perhaps my friend, it was the code." Saeki pressed further, validating the factuality of his earlier on statement with her complaining companion.

"Code? What code?" asked monotonously by the blonde, releasing a yawn after it. And as if everything moved in a slow motion, Saeki's mouth started to drop. The woman, namely Mayako sneered at this.

As prideful as this man is, he started opening his mouth and sang Haruka's name out loud, in his(or what he thought) in tune voice. And to save herself from further embarrassment, she quickly grabbed Saeki's collar and threw him inside her apartment. She turned her full attention next to Mayako who only gave Haruka an irresistibly impeccable smile.

"I can't close the door on you, can I?" she asked, her voice sounded defeated.

"I deserve as much as sleeping with you after what I did for you three days before yesterday." Mayako, as arrogant as possible, enlightened her blonde friend. "But as we both have notice, you're not my type. No offense though."

"Not taken." Haruka sighed. "Make yourself at home." with one hand gesture, Mayako walk as dominant, as cocky and as graceful inside Haruka's apartment.

The three had took their refuge in Haruka's kitchen, sitting on the table and having their breakfast ('looks at the clock' or brunch) compliments of Haruka's refrigerator and cupboard. Haruka popped out a box of cereal and poured it over a bowl of milk; Mayako continued stirring her cappuccino while waiting for her toasted bread; and Saeki smudging his toasted wheat bread with strawberry jam and peanut butter, and a hot nissin cup noodles waiting aside.

"Next time you want to invite yourselves over here, at least try eating at your own place."

"I don't see why we have to, do you?" Mayako answered, shifting her gaze from Haruka to Saeki.

"Clearly I have to agree with that." sipping the hot noodles in, Saeki nodded in agreement. "You see, what's the point of visiting if we can't experience the hospitality of the one we're visiting." pointing from left to right, in circles, the chopsticks in his hand as he made his point. "And as I remember you owe me" hand over to Mayako

"And yours truly..." Mayako spoke with such high account of one's self.

"a thank you." Saeki continued.

"Don't spoil it."

"The extent I did just to make oji-san believe me." a bit pained in his expression "I sold my soul just for you, Haru-chan! I lied!!" He screeched, said it like he never did something as lying before.

"Soul? What soul?" Haruka coughed.

"I drove all night just to take you home." Mayako informed. "The agony. The pain." Said in an over dramatic tone.

"You just slept in the passenger's seat. I was the one who drove the car. What agony and pain are you talking about?!"

"Yes, but apparently it is my car. And having you drive it is agonizingly painful."

"Just tell us." Saeki voiced out, mouth stuffed with instant noodles.

"Tell what?"

"Why you left in a hurry that night?" Mayako filled in.

"Is this why you're both here?"

"Aside that Saeki's saving money and about the other thing, not even close. But since we're here, why not pressing the issue further?

"And you think you could get something from me?"

"I know." Mayako smiled reassuringly which the blond hated so much.

"I remember that day..." Saeki again started. Gulping down the noodles in his throat, he continued. "Your father asked why you left, I told him we had an argument and you broke up with me and under so much pain, you left." and he started laughing.

"So believable..." Haruka sarcastically remarked as she released soft sounds of laughter.

"Strangely, Michiru-san remained still and quiet during the whole ride.. I did sense an aura of something like guilt coming from her.. I wonder why..." Saeki mused. Haruka suddenly paused from laughing and remained silent. This sudden reaction caught Mayako's attention. She placed her arms on the table and let her chin rest in her palms. She then narrowed her gaze at Haruka.

"She got through you, didn't she?" Mayako eyed Haruka suspiciously who in turn averted her gaze down her cereal filled bowl. Saeki grinned sheepishly.

"So she rejected you!!" Saeki voiced out, hand triumphantly raised up as he stood up from his chair. He looked at Haruka for confirmation but only glared at him in return. "..or not..." slowly he sat back from the chair.

"Michiru-san pushed you away didn't she?" Mayako continued with her assumptions. Haruka remained quiet and refused to answer. "Probably the only reason you left is that she wanted you to stay away from her." She paused and observed Haruka for a moment. A slight movement from Haruka's face proved she had hit it right this time. She continued. "As Saeki mentioned, the guilt and all would prove that I am right. Wouldn't it, Haruka?"

Haruka scoffed. "Rejected? Pushed? Or whatever you two would like to put it, nothing happened. I was... tired of the beach. I needed to get home. Michiru doesn't account to any reasons that made me go home that night." She looked at the two people in the room sternly. Saeki decided to shut his big mouth for once while Mayako chuckled bitterly then sigh.

"I thought I had that one right."

"Surprised?"

"Quite. I'm never wrong at this sort of things."

"Well you have."

"I guess I have." Mayako smiled, all knowingly. Haruka knew very well what it meant but decided to shrugged it all off.

"This is surprisingly awkward..." Saeki blurted out, still stuffing some noodles in his mouth. The two women now turned their eyes to Saeki who choked in the process. Mayako laughed as loudly as possible then followed by Haruka. After several attempts of Saeki coughing the noodles out, he was finally successful at it this time. Saeki gulped a whole glass of water, and breathed deeply in and out.

"Oh by the way..." Mayako spoke once again, getting Haruka's attention. "My father wanted to invite you to a charity ball in the old mansion tonight."

"Charity? Me?"

"Hai. Since you were once a famous F1 racer, you'd be a big addition to the event."

"I don't know..." Haruka said hesitatingly. "Is my father coming?"

"I was told that he had an appointment tonight and donated 10 million yen instead." Mayako responded. "Probably much better if you go. At least it'll have a representative from the Tenoh Corp."

"I-"

"Haru-chan!" Saeki lectured. "That charity event is for the kids with cancer! At least do something useful and helpful with your fame!" Haruka gulped. Saeki never raised his voice before moreover been this serious and determined about something. And by this, Haruka only found herself nodding in return. Mayako squealed and moved in advance to hug the now baffled blonde.

After the brunch, Saeki and Mayako bid their farewell to Haruka and finally left the apartment building.


-Mayako's POV-

"Is it certain that she's coming?" Saeki asked quite worriedly. Mayako only returned it with yet a reassuring smile.

"Of course. My father first handedly invited her. And it being a charity event makes it harder for her to turn it down."

"So our plan will go smoothly?"

"As smooth as it ever will." slowly she started laughing then turning to a more menacingly type of laughter.


-That Night-

Heads started turning, mostly composed of women, as soon as Haruka walks in in the mansion. Their deep stares never left the blonde's face or her body. If stares were possible to undress her, she would be naked by the time she had set foot inside the mansion. Perhaps the presence of a tall, handsome, and having a slender body that belongs to a young man made all the difference. The event was attended by mostly rich and old people. So having a fresh and young face in the crowd was enough to make the women be swoon off of their feet.

"Haruka!" a woman shouted from the crowd. Haruka turned her head to where the voice came from. She smiled as soon as she saw her friend walking towards her. "You made it!" Mayako cheerfully said as she enveloped Haruka in a big hug.

"As promised." Haruka replied as she returned the hug. "After Saeki's speech, I don't have any choices left." The two broke off from the hug. Haruka looked around, looking for someone who supposed to be standing right by Mayako's side.

"Looking for Saeki?" I nodded. "He's off to the stage, preparing himself in hosting an event for later on."

"Saeki hosting? That's something to see."

"But the event he's hosting is the must see of the night." Mayako voiced out, a bit suspiciously. And before Haruka could ask more questions, Mayako had raced her in "I got to go. I'm also needed at the stage. Try joining in with the crowd and make some fruitful conversation with it at least."

"Ah yes, conversing with rich aging people is very fruitful. What could we possibly talk about? Money? Land? Properties? Caviar?"

"Knock the sarcasms off." Nudging Haruka by the stomach. "Behave, okay? I'll be seeing you later."

"I guess. Nice party by the way."

Mayako nodded then finally left the blonde all on her own.


-Haruka's POV-

I screamed for dear savior to rescue me from this excruciating conversation I'm having with these people. All they do is to brag about the money they have in their bank account, countries they have travelled and even this classy named food which I could be of guarantee taste nothing but crap.

"So what do you think, Tenoh-kun?" ah the 'kun', how deceiving my looks are. My father kept my gender well hidden, for our wealth's safety and for my racing career's safety as well. She remained quiet and so are the other three people around us as they all waited for me to reply.

"Yes, that…" I was honestly lost even before these women started opening their mouth. They were… talking gibberish about the chandelier Mr. Fumizawa have in this old mansion. The antique chandelier hanging above this wide function area we all are standing at. The brass Victorian age, or the other lady would argued as the Renaissance period, chandelier is the main argument between all of them. And why would I give a damn about some lighting just because it's expensive? I sigh and continued. "Well crafted, and well preserved." God, I need a drink.

"It seems that Fumizawa has a great liking to these kinds of craft. He also has some paintings in the other room during Gothic and Rococo revival periods. I heard he even…" blah blah blah... now I'm drowning myself with white wine. I'm not really much of a wine drinker moreover a white wine, but in this case, I'll make an exception. These talks about Renaissance era and alike are killing me!! I grabbed another wine glass when a waitress passed by us and took another sip.

"Isn't that Kaioh Michiru?" Even drunk, I could hear her name… I chuckled quite bitterly. It's been four days since we last made contact. She told me to stay away but here I am, still thinking about her. How pitiful, really… I took another sip to wash this all away but again…

"Yes. It is her. Such a beauty Kaioh Michiru is." I stopped. That voice isn't coming from me. And everything I thought to be true was proven wrong yet again when these women started gasping with admiration for her. I slowly look up and there she was, standing with such grace, class, elegance and beauty that I have ever come upon on the face of the planet. She is simply stunning; breathtaking; heart pounding… heart-aching… I stood there admiring the perfect art God had crafted himself and nobody would even argue with that.

"I heard she was first handedly invited by Fumizawa." I snapped from my thoughts and averted my attention to the woman speaking beside me.

"Yes. She was asked to perform for tonight's event." Another lady responded. This had gotten me suspicious. I look around and went to search for my friends. Finally I saw them; Mayako is smiling and whispering things off to Saeki. I knew it they are off to something. After the unsuccessful attempts at the resort, they decided to play their cards back here. I snickered softly. Stubborn people they are… but…

I stared back at Michiru, and smiled contentedly. As long as I'm able to see her again… then I couldn't thank them enough…


The crowd fell in deep silence once Michiru took hold of the stage. As soon as she started playing her violin, she captivated the hearts of each and every person listening to her. At most would be Haruka who by far travelled a long way into her own dream world while admiringly gazing at Michiru. The music ended, and the crowd all clapped their hands in astonishment.

Saeki then went out to the stage holding a mic in his right hand while the other was stretched out to congratulate the young violinist. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's give Ms. Michiru Kaioh a round of applause for such tremendous performance." Saeki spoke through the mic, snapping Haruka from her dream. She looked up and saw Saeki shaking hands with Michiru and again giving each other fake smiles. They released their hands from the shake. Michiru took her bow and stepped down the stage "Again another round of applause to the Mozart of our time." Saeki added, earning a sarcastic smile from Michiru.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm Tomiyama Saeki, and I'll be your host for tonight. We would just like to say our thanks to all of you for coming to this charity event. And for that we have a little surprise for all of you." Saeki spoke again through the mic. "To add up a little donation to the Cancer Foundation for Kids, we have decided to auction one of the hottest bachelors in the country." He smiled and how wicked is it. He looked through the crowd and held his gaze to his friend as soon as he spotted her. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome, my friend, the racer, the sexy, Tenoh Haruka!" Haruka merely spilled out the wine in her mouth as soon as his friend spoke her name out. The entire crowd turned around and looked at her. The spotlight all met in one place; lighting upon the tall baffled blonde. Haruka just smiled, awkwardly, and held her foot on the ground. "Come up here, tiger." Saeki gestured and winked. Haruka glared at him and she could even swear hearing Mayako laughing in the background. She waved her hands to the crowd and smiled as she started making her way to the stage (unwillingly).

As soon as she had herself standing beside Saeki, she can't help but to whisper her anger out. "What the fuck are you two planning?" her smile still held up and hands waving to the crowd.

"A bright tomorrow for the cancer patients." Saeki simply stated and continued speaking to the crowd. "We have Tenoh Haruka starting at 10,000 yen, ladies!"

"15,000!!" a woman shouted in the background.

"20,000!!" screamed by another. Another second passed and another woman yelled her price.

"30,000!!"

"Come on ladies, the delectable Tenoh for one night. The sweet, charming, sexy racer right in your own palms." Saeki signaled Mayako who returned it with a wink. The brunette started making her way behind Michiru when a woman's voice out of nowhere suddenly shouted.

"100,000." a young woman with long blonde hair shouted in the background. Mayako and Saeki turned their attention to the woman. Saeki narrowed his gaze and spotted the model Aino Minako, arms crossed, standing firmly on the ground.

"100,000 yen for Miss Aino Minako. Going once..." Saeki counted intentionally slowly. He waited for Mayako, who now is in trouble. She walked her way a bit far from Michiru's back and with another groan, Mayako voiced out, in not her usual voice

"200,000."

Saeki beamed. Mayako's voice was his cue. "200,000 yen from the lady with the strapless black velvet dress…" he smiled and continued. "200,000 for Miss Kaioh Michiru!"

"What?! ME?!" Michiru blurted out in surprise. Light starts to gather down and shine upon her. Now the entire crowd turned around to look at her. Michiru looked around in hopes of finding the one who really shouted the price out. Unfortunately, she found no one.

Mayako on the other hand run towards Minako and covered her big mouth before the model could even voice out once again her price. She dragged her out of the function area down to a vacant room down the hall. Saeki, with all knowledge of having everything under control, started counting down (intentionally) fast.

"Going once, going twice, going thrice… SOLD!!" the host burst out, like how a judge convicts his suspect. "Tenoh Haruka sold to Kaioh Michiru!!" Saeki giddily announced. "Come on now to the stage Mozart and get your precious violin." Saeki joked, using Mozart and violin to represent the two women. The crowd started laughing and gave Michiru a push with their claps.

Michiru walked onto the stage and stood beside Haruka. She looked at her and saw the sorry expression on the blonde's face. She dismissed it with a smile.

"Let's make room for the two for they shall share the first dance of the night." Saeki informed. The whole room started to deem and soft piano playing in the background soon filled the air. Saeki walked down the stage and merged in with the crowd.

"I'm sorry for this. Those two…" Haruka apologized but Michiru cut her off.

"Why don't we make the best of it, at least?" Michiru smiled. And it made the blond wonder how long it has been since she last saw Michiru smile like that to her? Haruka sighs then smiles back. She then extended her hand gallantly and bowed her head gentlemanly.

"Would you, Miss Kaioh, like to offer this young 'man' a dance?"

"If this 'man' would only promise not to tease my dancing skills, why certainly."

"He'll try." Haruka responded playfully.

"Try harder." Michiru returned and accepted Haruka's hand. Haruka escorted Michiru down the stage through the center of the room.

Gently, she circled her right arm around Michiru's waist and pulled her closer. Michiru on the other hand, placed her left palm on Haruka's shoulder. Few inches apart, Haruka lead Michiru around, swaying her body in sync with the piano playing in the background.

"I never anticipated this."

"Anticipated what?"

"My foot getting butchered yet again by the same person."

"Really now?"

"Really." Haruka returned with a childish grin plastered on her face. Soon, everybody watching them started swaying into their own world.

"Michiru, I… You see…" Haruka started. "I always wanted to ask since then wh…" And as if Michiru knew what Haruka was about to say, she backed away.

"I need… some fresh air. Please excuse me."

"Ah..yeah, sure."


-Mayako Parallel-

As soon as they made it to the other room, Mayako released her hand on the model's mouth. "What the hell did you just do?!"

"Shit Maya." Minako fumed, still a bit out of air to breathe. "You don't have to cover my mouth that tightly. I do have a photo shoot tomorrow. If this will leave a mark, I promise to kill you!"

"If the sun ever set tomorrow for you."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Warning you to be precise Mina." Mayako said flatly. Minako only rolled her eyes and murmured in return. "We had an agreement, didn't we?! You're supposed to raise it only to 50,000 yen not double it!"

"You can't possible think I, the famous Aino Minako, would raise her hand for only 50,000. Really, Maya?"

"Don't you, Maya me! You now owe me a hundred yen!"

"You never said anything about that!!"

"Now I have!"

The heated argument continued until a door creaking disturbed the two women.

"Uhm, Ladies…" a man suddenly barged in. Both women turned around, glaring at the man who dared to disturbed them. Saeki shivered and gulped. "The targets went to their own separate ways."

"I guess your plan didn't work." Minako laughed, completely mocking Mayako.

"Are they still within the vicinity?" Mayako inquired, ignoring Minako's mockery. Saeki nodded. "Alright, let's move on to my final plan."


Haruka found herself walking inside a room as told in the note handed over to her a while ago. She tried to switch the light on but found it to be broken. She sighs and walked over to the bed and sat on the edge as she waits patiently for the person who wrote to her.

Michiru started walking to the room as said in the note she received earlier. She stops in front of the said room and faced the door. She turned the knob and pushed the door open. The light spreads inside as fast as the door hit open. She walked in and there she saw sitting on the bed the one who wrote the letter to her.

"Hey." greeted the other person sitting on the bed. "I received your note. What is it that you want to talk about?

"Note? You're the one who wrote a note to me." Michiru replied a bit confused by the turn of events.

"I don't remember writing you one…"

"Neither do I."

"Unless…"


-Mayako's POV-

Saeki and I silently walked over to the room where we have gathered Michiru and Haruka in. We stopped and pressed our ears over the door to hear the events going inside. I became a bit suspicious when I heard not even a single sound coming from the other side.

"You sure they got the note?" I asked in a whisper again to Saeki.

"Hai. I even saw Michiru-san walking this way."

"It bothers me. I don't hear any sounds."

"Should we take a peek?"

"Perhaps a little won't do any damage." Slowly and quietly, we pushed the door slightly open. I peeked inside, but the darkness of the room forbids me to even distinguish a single thing inside. I opened the door again, now wider and more exposed to the light.

"They're…"

"not here..." Saeki continued. I entered the whole room and Saeki followed me inside. We started searching for them, critical and observant at the sounds we hear. But unfortunately, we found no traces that could lead us to them.

"Where the hell they have gone off to?!" I voiced out, slumping off my body onto the bed.

"I had it!" Saeki muttered as he took his rest onto the floor. And when I thought the day wouldn't be unluckier than this, I was proven wrong again.

"Looking for us?" My eyes practically bulged out as soon as I heard that oh so familiar voice. I raised my body slowly from the bed and turned to the direction of the door. And to my dismay, there they are; Michiru standing beside Haruka who's playing a key in her hand. A key… A KEY?! "This will be a lesson to both of you." Everything from that point on moved in slow motion.

"NOOOO!!" I stood up, stumbling from the bed down to the floor. I ran as fiercely as possible towards them but I was too late. The sound of the door being locked was all I heard next. I cried and screamed for help, but it's no use.

"Are you alright?"

"You!!" I turned around and glared at Saeki. "This is all your fault!"

"My fault?!"

"Yes! You left the key on the table! If you hadn't, we wouldn't be locked here!!"

"This is your fault as it was mine." He remarked. Oh please!

"My fault?!" I can't believe this! He's turning the tables on me!

"Yes! If you hadn't given the key to me, I wouldn't have anything to place on the table!"

We continued glaring with undisguised hatred towards each another. I groaned in frustration and walked pass him towards the bed. I slumped once again and warned this raging hormonal beast "Don't you ever try doing something to me!"

"Like I was planning to!" He quickly responded.


"Don't you think its bit cruel for us to do that?" Michiru asks

"They deserve it." Haruka responded.

They continued walking outside. Michiru stopped and stood by the entrance. Haruka turned around, and eyed Michiru confusedly

"What are you doing?" Haruka questions.

Michiru looks at her and responded "I'm waiting for a cab."

"A cab?" Haruka chuckles. "Come on. I'll take you home."

"Thank you. But a cab is fine with me."

"Not for me. It's not always a guarantee that you'll safely arrive home in a cab."

"I always take a cab coming to and off from work." Michiru informed.

"Are you always like this?"

"Like what?"

"This stubborn."

Michiru's laughs softly. "It depends actually."

"Depends on what?"

"On how persistent the person I'm talking to." Michiru returned. Haruka chuckles and took Michiru by the hand.

"Yes, I am very persistent. And you, Michiru, are coming with me."


-Saeki's POV-

The room started getting hotter and hotter with every seconds pass. I started sweating all over my body and I could even tell that Mayako feels the same way as I saw her wiping her forehead. But unlike her, I decided to voice my opinion out.

"Whose plan was it to crash the conditioning system of this room anyway?" I started complaining. She cringed and turned her body around to face me.

"I was. But whose fault was it why we're stuck in here in the first place?" She remarked, quite annoyingly. I sigh in frustration and started unbuttoning my dress shirt. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Removing my polo."

"I'm not blind, Saeki. I wanna know why?!"

"It's hot okay. I need to cool off." I enlightened her as I fully removed my polo.

"I can't believe this is happening!!" she groaned and turned her body around, back facing me.


-Haruka's POV-

"Here you are. Home safely at last." I drop her safely off of her front door and assisted her off my bike.

"Yes, at home at last, but do dismiss the 'safe' part. Bike rides are more prone accidents than cabs." She interjected.

"That explains the tightness of your hold a while ago."

"Anybody would do the same thing, if the one handling the motorcycle is passing the speed limit." I pouted and she giggled a little.

I smiled and blurted out the words I wanted to say all this time "I missed you." I gasped, surprised by the words I released. I see her looking at me with same look she had back then. "I mean, I miss this. The sweetness then the witty banter."

She remained silent.

I sighed and putted my helmet back on. "I guess I'll see you some other time."

"Hey…" I looked at her and she continues. "You wanna go upstairs for some coffee?"

"I think it's better for me to leave." I responded.

"But I did pay to have you all night." She quickly returned.

"You did."

"Coffee perhaps?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"No." she bluntly replied back. I gave up and removed my helmet and followed her inside.


-Saeki's POV-

I'm on with the last piece of garment in me, my boxer short. Mayako had removed her dress after I had removed my shirt and pants. I guess she can't take the hotness any longer. After she removed her dress she threatened to kill me if I even take a peek at her. I know I'm a virgin, but I'm not that desperate to even look at Maya-chin.

A drop of sweat came tumbling down my cheek. Really it's like an oven in here, and we're a piece of meat ready to be cooked.

Through the corner of my eyes and checked if Mayako's back is still facing me. And as fortunate as I will ever be, she's still in the same position as before.

I placed my hands on my boxer shorts with plans of removing it. I was halfway there when Mayako's voice took me by surprise.

"Don't you even dare to remove it!" I gulped and placed my boxer shorts back on.

"Little prince is dying here!" like a hotdog grilling to be precise. I complained.

"I don't care what happens down there! Don't remove it! If you do, I swear to the gods I'm gonna hunt you for life!"

"Alright, if and only if you let me sleep on the bed." I insinuated. She spun around at once and the anger and irritation in her face clearly evident.

"Fuck off!" I gawk as the sight in front of me was everything I have ever imagined or dreamed of. Mayako followed my eyes and stop down her chest. She quickly covered her exposed half naked body with the blanket and threw a big pillow towards me "Pervert!"

I'm surprised that my reflexes are even in sync with me right now as I had catch the pillow Maya-chin threw at me. Stood up from the floor and walked over to the bed. Again, she threatened me.

"I swear I'm gonna kill you if you walk another step." I laughed softly under my breath and continued walking towards the bed.

I laid my body beside her and placed the pillow in my hand in between our bodies. "In this way, our bodies won't come close to each other." I told her and continued. "I'm really tired. At least let me rest comfortably n this bed." I stretched my arms as I yawned. She remained, surprisingly, quiet and unresisting. I yawned once again but this time my eyes giving up on me. "Good night, Maya-chin." I bid and finally I fell asleep but… I swear I heard Mayako responding

"Night, Sae-chan."

Though it was said in a whisper, it was as clear as the full moon in this crazy night.


Haruka took her sit on the couch while Michiru went off to the kitchen to prepare some coffee for two. The blonde then started looking around and observing each and every piece Michiru has displayed in the room.

"I don't have much in here." Michiru walked in with a tray in her hands. Haruka stood up and took the tray off of Michiru and carried it to the table.

"I was expecting an overly decorated home from you."

"I keep it simple. The lesser I have the lesser work I have to do."

"Motto in life?" Haruka mused. Michiru laughs softly in return.

"Perhaps. I do travel a lot, so packing and unpacking is a bit troublesome for me." Michiru explained. Haruka nodded and took another sip from her coffee. "Hey…"

"Hmmm?" raising her brows up, Haruka waits for Michiru to continue.

"Sorry about what I said to you back then."

"Don't worry, it's done with." Haruka smiled. "Past is past anyway."

Michiru remained awkwardly silent. Haruka only sipped her coffee again.

"So…" Michiru started. "I remember you saying about giving me an additional question for you. Meaning I get to ask you question!"

"I remember making that promise in the resort. I don't think it's still valid back here."

Michiru started laughing and playfully hit Haruka's arm. "Cheater." Haruka grabbed Michiru's hands, completely taking the other girl by surprise. She suddenly slip from her balance and fell down on the floor bringing Haruka along with her.

If anybody was in the room, they could have misunderstood the two women based on the comprising position they are in right now. Haruka was on top of Michiru while the other girl was below Haruka; both their face inches apart from each other. It took a few minutes before Haruka had finally snapped out of her thoughts. She quickly stood up and helped Michiru up as well.

"I probably should go home right now." Michiru only nodded in return. Haruka started walking to the door. Grabbing her keys on the shelf, she turned the door knob open not until Michiru called her out again.

"Haruka." The blonde turned around and was met by something she least expected from the other girl.

A kiss..
