Later that day, both Haruka and Michiru sat over the Tokyo Times, awing at the announcement that practically jumped from page two. "Agency Wolf: We Help The Helpless", Haruka read out loud, marveling at the sound of the words. "That looks great." Michiru stated while she checked if the phone number in the announce was correct. "I wonder when we will get our first call." "Yeah, me too." Haruka admitted, scratching her cheek unconsciously. "Is that beard growing again?" Michiru asked, and Haruka shook her head no. "But it's itching!" she then complained. Michiru giggled before she said: "You'll have to buy some aftershave, maybe that will help." Haruka growled at her, showing her wolfish looking teeth, and Michiru pretended to be frightened. "Please, dear good nice Wolf, don't hurt me!" Haruka grabbed the aqua haired woman and pulled her close to her. "I'll kiss you to death!" she threatened, and Michiru broke into fits of laughter. Haruka smiled when suddenly a terrible sting of pain ran through her head. The blonde yelped in surprise, let go of Michiru and clutched her head with both hands. "Haruka?" Michiru asked concerned, but her love didn't reply. "Haruka, answer me!" Michiru called out, frightened. Haruka looked up, and much to Michirus shock, her eyes were glowing red. Weapon X had taken over.
"Haruka! Haruka, come back!" Michiru screamed while she ducked and Weapon X' claws dug into the cupboard instead of the aqua haired woman's chest. "Haruka tries to come back, but now it's my time!" Weapon X growled. Her hand shot forward, she grabbed Michiru around the throat and lifted her in the air. Michiru looked down at her love with fear in her eyes, and she gasped when she saw that a thick beard covered Weapon X' face. "The beard had nothing to do with the metal!" Michiru realized. "It's a sign that Weapon X tries to take over!" "Let…go of me!" the aqua haired woman panted and tried to kick Weapon X in the stomach, but she failed miserably. Weapon X smashed Michiru against the cupboard, she hit her head at the wood and blacked out.
Michiru didn't know how long she had been unconscious; when she woke up again, she found herself in her darkened bedroom, and Haruka was nowhere in sight. "Oh God…" the aqua haired girl moaned while she sat up. "I just hope Haruka didn't run off again…" As soon as the last word had left her mouth, a voice came from the dark corner in the far end of the room. "No, I didn't." Michiru did a startled jump, but she smiled when Haruka walked out of the shadow and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry." The blonde now said, looking down. "But…I…" "Sht." Michiru interrupted her, taking her hand into hers. "It's not your fault. Weapon X took over." Haruka sighed. "I never should have allowed Weapon X to get so far…" "Stop blaming yourself." Michiru begged. That was when she remembered her beard theory, and she told Haruka about it. "Could be right." The blonde said, rubbing her now hairless cheeks. "I didn't notice myself, but every time the beard started to grow, Weapon X tried to take over with more strength…" "Now that you know, you also know when you have to watch out." Michiru smiled, and finally Haruka smiled, too. "You're right. I just wonder…" She trailed off. "What?" Michiru asked gently. "If Weapon X will be inside me forever…or if it will die some day." The blonde admitted, and Michiru sighed. "I wish I could help you to find that out, but since Dr. Sariachi is dead…" Haruka nodded and buried her face in her hands. "I hate that woman so much." Her voice came, slightly muffled. "What she did to me…do you know that I still have nightmares?" Michiru nodded. "You were moaning and talking in your sleep last night…but you didn't dream about Sariachi. You dreamed about James, didn't you?" Haruka looked down and nodded. She spoke on without looking at Michiru, and the aqua haired woman realized that her love had to get the memories out. "I was their prisoner for three years, and after one month he raped me for the first time." Haruka spoke with a flat, weird sounding voice, and Michiru realized that it sounded weird because her love was crying. "Dr. Sariachi had left the lab for a few hours to buy new supplies, and he came into the room where I was tied to that desk…he…I…oh God…" Michiru quickly sat up and put her arms around the now helplessly crying Haruka. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Michiru whispered into Harukas ear. The blonde shook her head. "I have to, Michiru. If I don't…the memories will haunt me forever." Michiru nodded and held Haruka close while the blonde talked on. "He came in, and he told me that he would show me new dimensions of pain if I told Sariachi what he would do now…and then, he raped me. Michiru, it hurt so bad, I thought that I would die from the pain. James finished just in time, and when Dr. Sariachi came back, I didn't tell her what he did." "Why not?" Michiru asked softly. "Because I thought that he wouldn't do it again." Haruka whispered. "But…I was wrong." The blonde buried her face into her love's chest and cried while Michiru held her tight.
