Author's Note: Ok here is an important message. I am going to borrow Pluto's powers to time travel lol As you could have figured out already the story is taking place in the past, so I need to move on to the present. I tried to make the transition the better I could. Sorry if I messed up or if it seems rush, but the truth is that I've been super busy getting stuff ready to go back to school. Please forgive and bear with me :)

2 years later

Yes, two years had passed by at an incredible rate. The life of Tenoh Haruka hadn't been the best in these last two years. This first two years were heaven and glory for the tall, blonde racer. Fame had knocked at her door very soon. After her first triumph, Kenta, Tetsuya and her decided to join the Red Bull racing team. She had Tetsuya as her manager and main mechanic and Kenta as her second mechanic and assistant. Tetsuya as her manager talked to their team and revealed the blonde's real identity but they didn't care as long as they kept it a secret. She was doing extraordinarily well in her professional life, but she still had no sign of her aquamarine goddess.

Two years, two damn years and still no sign from you love! Where are you? Why haven't you contact me. What is keeping you away from me? You promised to come back…

"Haruka! Hey Haruka snap out of your daydream" Kenta approached his blonde friend and frowned. He had finally stopped calling her by her last name after the time that they now spent working together.

Haruka blinked a few times before contemplating the guy who dragged her to reality "what's going on man? What's with the face?"

Kenta had already learned not to mention Michiru in front of the racer, but he still couldn't stop frowning and feel angry at said girl. He thought his friend and coworker suffering was due to her, but he couldn't do anything "oh just wanted to make sure you're alright we're leaving the country tomorrow. Europe is waiting for us Haruka! Can you believe it?"

Europe. Haruka never thought about such a distant and different continent until then "Yeah Europe" Haruka feigned a smile "Hey Kenta tell me have you check the schedule for this season's preparation places?"

The dark man nodded in response "We have 4 race stadiums to train before the start of the next season. One is in Italy, one in France, umm one in Spain and….oh yeah England"

England…the country's name echoed in Haruka's mind. How couldn't she have think about it "I can't wait to go over there and conquer European territory" Haruka nonchalantly said. She couldn't reveal her intention to go to England and look for her lost love.

The Red Bull racing team was to spend one week on each of the European countries. The blonde racer and her team had already made it to the racetrack in Spain, Italy and were currently in their last day in France. Haruka couldn't wait any longer to step into English territory and search for Michiru. She was determined to find her love. When she first met the violinist, the latter had told her that she had been living in London, England before she moved back to Tokyo and the next train session for her happened to be in that same city. That was it, Haruka was finding Michiru again. She would find and take the violinist with her and this time she wouldn't let the Michiru's parents interfere with their happiness. She was now older and stronger, both physically and mentally. She now possessed wealth, something that she didn't have before. She had a nice apartment for herself back in Tokyo, her own Lamborghini 2011 and a prominent career that was rising like foam. So she could take care of herself and her love, if only she could the aqua haired woman.

"Hey kiddo! What are you up to? I have been observing you this last weeks and you seem up to something" Tetsuya had seen his best racer and friend go through many mood changes. Some days the blonde was happy and cheerful, the next angry and upset and then sometimes he could swear the blonde racer had cried or he simply saw her with a sad appearance. He had learned the motive behind these changes from the own Haruka but still it hurt him to see her like that.

"Ah….me? Nothing!" Haruka calmly said. But an apparent hopeful gleam in her teal green eyes gave her away.

Tetsuya decided to leave things like that. He had learned to be patient with her stubborn racer and wait for her to open up and talk to him when she felt ready "Ok, if you say so"

"Yes, after this training I'll be more than ready to win the next Grand Prix"

"I know you will, but you first have to finish your training tomorrow in London, then you can give your best as always and bring home that trophy" Tetsuya smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.

The next day the Red Bull team and Haruka were landing in London, England. Haruka couldn't cover her excitement anymore. Everyone had noted that but decided to keep silent. She gladly went to her morning practice in the modern and tricky racetrack that she was assigned to. Even though the blonde was physically present at the English racetrack her mind was elsewhere. Michiru, love, I have come for you. It is only a matter of time before I see you again. You don't know how much it has hurt all this time and how many nights I have cried for you, but everything will be over soon. Haruka peacefully finished her fifty laps and went straight to the showers. After that she changed into some casual clothes, khaki slacks and a black polo shirt, she decided to start her quest to find her love again.

"Where are you going Haruka?" Kenta approached her as the blonde climbed in her rented convertible car.

"Around. I want to tour the city before we leave. This is such a beautiful city that it will be a waste not to visit some places and presents for oba-san and everybody else at home"

"I didn't want to say anything but I guess I should" Kenta looked straight into the teal eyes of her friend. Haruka simply focused her sight at the steering wheel holding it tightly "You want to look for her. Don't you? Haruka this is a big city you might get lost"

Haruka lifted her sight from the steering wheel determinedly "I don't care! I have to try. I am going to find her" and with that she started the engine of the car.

"I don't plan to stop Haruka, I just want to come with you" Kenta gave his friend a supportive smile "I think two people will get a better chance to find someone"

Haruka patted the seat next to her "Then what are you waiting? Hop in!"

Haruka drove around the beautiful city with hope to find an aquamarine hair girl. But nothing… not the slightest sign of an aqua hair girl. Exhausted and frustrated from their search, both Kenta and Haruka decided to stop at a café shop. Kenta had known that it was merely impossible to find a person in such a big city, but didn't say anything because he didn't want to upset his friend. Finding Michiru without any information as where she stayed it was gonna be as finding a needle in a haystack, well an aqua colored needle, still it was gonna be hard and it will take them more than one day.

"Hey man, don't give up just yet. We are in a big city and we still have a few more days before we leave" Kenta reassuringly talked to the Red Bull racer.

Haruka looked down at her coffee and hold the cup with both hands "Why is so damn difficult?" she quietly asked not wanting to make a scene "I've been trying to be strong and keep on moving with my life, but I suddenly feel like it's not worth it! If she is not around nothing is worth it" tears were accumulating on the edge of sad teal eyes.

"Haru I have told you before that I don't know how much it really hurts you but you are not alone. You have Tetsuya, the crew, my mom, your mother and me. We are your family Haru; you just can't give up like that" Kenta hesitated his next words. He had to put his feelings against the violinist aside to help his friend "She said she would come back, so there you go, let's keep living and hopefully we can find her here"

Haruka wiped up the tears from her eyes and looked at Kenta "Thank you Kenta. I don't know what I would do without you"

Unknown Place

Haruka love, my heart sinks in pain every time I say your name and I see you're not around. The despair and fear take over me every time I think that you could have forgotten about me. Jealousy and sadness embraces me when I think of you in some other women's arms. Would you still be waiting for me? I don't know my hearts hope so. Right now, I can't go back to you. There is a reason why I still can't go back to you Ruka, but my love for you is intact, I still feel like the first day I met you. I hope life can bring us together again soon.

It was the last day in London for Haruka and the Red Bull team. Every day after her training, Kenta and she went out to the streets to look for the young artist. They had asked people of high status about the Kaioh's but nobody could give them reason about said family. Haruka was feeling destroyed but couldn't give up. She might have to leave London but not her hopes to find Michiru. After all she had promised that she would wait for her and that was what she was doing. The next Grand Prix was going to be hold in Canada and she was ready to go and take the gold trophy home to Japan. She wasn't gonna let herself down…at least not just then yet.

"Ready kiddo? Next week we go to Montreal, Canada! People wait for a new F1 champion!" Tetsuya tilted his head as he observed the blonde before him.

"Absolutely!" Haruka beamed. She was happy the season had started and could compete in a race again. It also helped her to forget some things and a few times…someone.

"Very well then, prepare because if you win you will become more famous. You will be internationally recognized in the sports media. After Canada, comes the European prix and you should feel comfortable there, that's why we had you practice over there"

"I'll be ready for everything Tetsuya-san. Don't worry, just leave everything to me" the blonde flashed her most assuring smile and left a convinced Tetsuya behind.

Montreal, Canada wasn't very different from the other circuits Haruka had been to. If something was different it was its size, the Canadian circuit was 300 km or about 70 laps. Anyway the blonde racer was ready to beat anyone who crossed her way. Practice 1 and 2 were held on Friday, Haruka had taken a good position due to her timing. On Saturday was practice 3 and qualifying race and Sunday was the big day for the race. Finally Haruka had qualified and had gotten a good starting position for her race on Sunday.

"Haruka if you win today, we're going big! So far we've been recognized all over Asia, but not this far" Kenta animatedly told her friend.

"I know Kenta and after this comes the European continent" Haruka was very confident she could make it big because that was the reason she worked very hard every day "all of our effort will be worth when our team wins"

The race was a tough one; there was a horrible accident among the twenty something competitors. One of the drivers had crashed into one of the protection walls. Haruka kept on driving, the finish line set on her mind. When she crossed the line she knew all her efforts were blessed. She had won and now was going to be internationally recognized. The rename and fame that she always wanted was coming at her feet. Plus the money, she didn't forget about her mother and her oba-san and just like Kenta, she send them money each month. Really, many could have said that life was smiling at her, but Haruka thought life was laughing at her.
