The kiss didn't last very long, since Haruka suddenly pushed Michiru away. Michiru looked at her friend shocked. "Haruka, what…" she stammered, tears forming in her beautiful eyes. Haruka jumped up and started to run around in the room. Michiru looked at her confused. Suddenly, Haruka started to talk. "Michiru, we should never get that close. It's too dangerous for you." "Sit down." Michiru softly said, patting the place next to her. Haruka hesitated for a moment, then she took a seat. "I'm too dangerous for you." Haruka repeated, looking down at her feet while talking. "You shouldn't love someone like me." "Nonsense." Michiru said. « I think I'm old enough to decide that myself." Haruka just sighed and didn't answer. There was odd silence for a few minutes, both women were deep in thought. Finally Haruka spoke up. "Listen, Michiru…I admit that I do have feelings for you. It was never planned to happen, but it did. I guess I loved you from the moment you offered to help me with the bullet wound, but it took me a lot longer to realize it. When the boss told me that he would let his thugs rape you if I didn't agree to kill you, it felt as if he ripped my heart out." Haruka fell silent and blushed; she obviously wasn't used to making such confessions. Michiru smiled at her new found love and gently took Harukas hand into hers. The assassin flinched and looked at the judge nervous. "Haruka, do you want to be with me?" Michiru asked softly, her eyes full of love and hope. Haruka looked at her for a long time without saying a word. Finally she smiled. "Yes, Michiru. I'd love to. I love you." Michiru broke into a wide grin before kissing Haruka again. This time, Haruka didn't push her away.
"We have to find them!" The boss yelled into his cellphone, causing the person on the other line to flinch. "I will, boss, trust me." The man now said. The boss just sighed. "Listen, he killed all of my men. You're the only one left! You have to kill him and the judge!" "I said trust me." The man answered angrily. "Tomorrow when the sun comes up, he'll be dead." The boss smiled and hung up the phone before talking into the empty room with an evil grin on his face. "Very good, Wolf."
It was two a.m. Michiru laid cuddled up in Harukas arms, sleeping peacefully. Next to her, Haruka also slept, but her dreams were disturbed from the ringing of her cellphone. She groaned and sat up, waking Michiru in the process who rubbed her eyes sleepily. "What's the matter, Haruka?" the judge asked confused. "My stupid cellphone." Haruka answered before yawning loud. She scampered over to her trouser and dug through the pockets until she found the cell. To her surprise, the display said "Wolf calling". Haruka frowned. "Sergio? But I thought that he's dead…" She answered the phone: "Hello?" "Hey Haruka." Came Sergios voice. "Did you miss me?" "Sergio!" Haruka hollered happily. "I thought that you are dead!" "I wasn't, don't worry. Always wear a bullet proof vest." Sergio said. Haruka chuckled. "Can I meet you?" Sergio suddenly said. "Sure. I'm at the Blue Moon Motel, next to the Highway. With Michiru." Haruka informed her friend. "Okay. See you there." And with that, Sergio hung up the phone, leaving a grinning Haruka behind. "So Sergio's alive?" Michiru asked from the bed. "Yep." Haruka grinned. Michiru also smiled and spread her arms out. "Come to me, darling!" Haruka grinned so broadly that the corners of her mouth almost paid a visit to her ears and jumped into the bed.
It was 6 a.m. when someone knocked on the door outside the room. Haruka groaned and opened her heavy eyelids. She looked at Michiru who was sleeping next to her, head on her shoulder, with a little smile on her beautiful face. Haruka smiled at the sleeping woman and carefully stood up; she didn't want to wake her up. Quickly, Haruka jumped into her trousers and shirt, buttoning it while walking to the door. Behind her, Michiru woke up – she suddenly missed her warm pillow, named Haruka – and also stood up to get dressed. Haruka opened the door and was greeted from Sergio, who stood there grinning. "Hey Fox." The Mafioso now said. "Hey Wolf. Come in." Haruka turned her back on him and walked into the living room where Michiru sat on the couch waiting. The assassin never saw how Sergio raised his arm, and she never saw the knife. Michiru, on the other hand, saw the glistening weapon. "Haruka!" the judged screamed. "Watch out!" Haruka spun around immediately, the down-coming knife slashing her arm. Sergio howled in anger, and his fist collided with Harukas chin. Hard. Haruka got thrown backwards and fell over the narrow couch desk, hitting the floor with a loud "THUD". Michiru screamed her name again and jumped up. That was when Sergio rammed his knife into the judge's stomach. "NO!" Haruka yelled when she saw Michiru breaking down. Outside the house, police sirens could be heard, and the approached the motel fast. "I think I'll let the police take care of you." Sergio said coldly. Haruka crawled over to the lifeless form of Michiru, tears running from her eyes. Sergio threw the knife over to the two women and left. As soon as he was gone, police men stormed into the room and aimed their guns at Haruka. "Don't move! Get away from the judge!" one of them yelled. Haruka just sat there, holding Michiru in her arms. Two officers grabbed her and pulled her to her feet, chaining her wrists behind her back with steel handcuffs. "Take him to the car." The police lieutenant commanded. "And call an ambulance for the judge. She's still alive, and we need her proposition to bring this asshole here where he belongs." The two police officers pulled Haruka out of the room while the rest of them waited for the ambulance to arrive.
