Chapter 26: Second chance

Michiru felt very much ashamed, how had she managed to forget all her manners in just a few seconds? Fighting like a cat with Rei? Was she going crazy or something? So Rei was a lesbian too...that was a shock, Michiru felt even sorrier now because now Usagi's words make much sense, she was jealous of Haruka and if she found out Haruka had a girlfriend of her own she'll be more relaxed...

She felt so guilty that even after spending a great night with Haruka – who was actually very comprehensive of her disgraceful behavior- she was unable to sleep. She had to apologize to Rei...and not just because she almost break her teeth but cause she had been acting irrational with her for many years now. If Rei was gay then there was probably a good explanation to what had happened years ago, and she wanted to find out... she wanted Rei back cause even though she denied it, she missed her a lot...

Monday came soon, too soon for Michiru. She knew she had to apologize to Rei but she couldn't find a way, when she asked Haruka how to do it the blonde gave her a dirty look and said to her 'You're on your own Michiru' Ok. So she had made her bed and was supposed to sleep on it...

"Hi" Rika walked to her, Michiru sighed, she wished she could have some alone time to think this a bit through.

"Hi"

"Having a bad day? You look upset"

"Is...Oh nothing ..."

"Oh God what happened to your face? Was it Tenoh?"

Michiru touched her cheek."NO!" Michiru looked at Rika who seemed appalled. "I got into a little fight with Rei...that's all"

Rika smirked, she wondered why did the two ex friends had fight over...maybe... "Is Haruka fooling around with Rei perhaps?"

Michiru opened her blue eyes surprised. Rika knew? "You knew Rei is..."

Rika noticed she had said too much, she had to make some damage control. "She is? I mean I assumed it since they spent so much time together...I'll be jealous if I were you"

"Rei and Haruka? Ha...you're not serious..."

Rika smiled mysteriously. "If you say so... so why did you fight over then?"

"Is not important anymore, Rika I have to go find Rei so I'll catch up with you later ok?"

"Sure kitten anytime, I'm here for you"

"Thanks" Michiru walked away smiling, she now knew what was the right thing to do Haruka was right if she had been able to forgive Rika she must do the same with Rei, she was giving her a second chance, hopefully Rei would do the same...

-o-o-

Haruka found Rei on the shooting range; she saw her friend was sitting on the floor crying, concerned she approached her.

"Rei?" Rei looked up to find Haruka. "Are you ok? What happened?"

"She dumped me!"

"Usagi?" The raven haired girl nodded. "What happened?"

"She said we cannot be together until I figure out what are my feelings for..."

"For whom?"

Rei looked into the green eyes feeling ashamed. "You"

Haruka raised her eyebrows surprised, so this was the root of all the fights between them? "But... why didn't you tell her you have no feelings for me Rei, I can talk to her..."

"It's just that..." Haruka kneeled next to her, she caressed the long black hair softly, she just hated to see girls cry.

"What?"

"I...I'm not sure I have no feelings for you..." Rei almost whispered but that didn't eliminate the shocking reaction on Haruka, she almost fell down with surprise

"Rei...you don't know what you're saying..."

Rei looked at her with her deep black eyes sparkling, she placed her face closer to her, so close Haruka could feel the warm breath of the fire senshi. "But I do...I'm fond of you, I don't know if maybe...maybe..." And that's when it happened... their lips got pressed together into a brief but very real kiss, Haruka pulled away a bit shocked...

Michiru cleared her throat and both of them turned to see her; she was standing a few feet away from them, her face unreadable.

"Michi..." Rei placed a hand on her lips, what had she done?

Haruka jumped off the ground and faced Michiru who still stood calmed in front of her. "Michiru this is not..."

Michiru looked at her heartbreaker with misbelieve, she slowly raised an eyebrow. "...what I think? You're honesty pulling that out? Weren't you two kissing? Because that's what I saw and I'm not insane or blind..."

"I can explain it..." Haruka felt she was about to cry, all she could found into her lover eyes was a mixture of pain and hate.

"It was my fault Michiru, Haruka did nothing..." Michiru took a deep breath and the sighed; she looked at both of the girls standing in front of her wishing she was somewhere else, anywhere else...

She extended her arm with her palm opened asking for silence. Then she found the courage to talk. "I came here to say something and that's what I'm doing... Rei I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hit you the other day, that was irrational and stupid of me, and I'm deeply sorry, but I'm also sorry about what I said of you, I broke a promise and that has no excuse, I hope you'll find a way to forgive me for all the pain I put you through. From this moment on the war between us, is over..." Michiru looked at Haruka with disgust. Then she looked back at Rei who seemed utterly surprised. "I thought I owed you much but..." Michiru pointed her finger at Haruka as if she weren't there; as if she was a thing ... "We're even now. You can have her. As for you Haruka, never speak to me again"

Michiru turned around holding the tears that fight to run down her face, she walked away not minding Haruka's voice calling her back, she was wrong, she had never been heartbroken before, because this pain she felt was feeling couldn't be stood twice...

"Michiru!" Haruka tried to run after her but Rei stopped her.

"Let her chill Haruka now you won't get anywhere ..."

"She's..." A tear...a hot burning tear ran down her now dead eyes.

"I'm sorry Haruka ..."

-o-o-

"How did you know I was here?"

"I know you too well..."

"Is that so...wait are you crying? What happened kitten?"

Michiru looked into Rika's very green eyes. "We broke up"

"Sorry to hear it..." "Right..."

"Don't lie; I know you're happy Rika, you're an egocentric, selfish, evil bitch..."Rika stopped smiling; she was confused, especially when the smaller girl walked closer to her."But..."

"But? There's more?"

"But you're MY egocentric, selfish, evil bitch, and at least I know your flaws and I know you won't deceive me..."

Rika smiled, this was Christmas day. She took Michiru by the waist and brought her closer, then she leaned and kissed the aqua haired girl.

"What have I done..."Michiru closed her eyes and let Rika kissed her with a kiss that had no content for her that if anything make her feel emptier...

(Oh don't kill me! Please! Risella put that gun down...ha so what a twist right? Oh teenagers can be so explosive no? Well now that things have changed so much do you wish to know how I'm going to give a happy ending to this mess? Well ...review...)
