Yatero pulled his car into the Tokyo Pier, Michiru sighing. How the hell did he get away so quickly!? Gazing out the window something glittered in the moonlight, she shouted, causing Yatero to hit the brakes. Before he could ask what was going on she jumped out of the car and ran onto a dock, kneeling down to pick something up. Omigod ... Yatero ran over to see what she had found, This is Haruka's!! She held up a small golden cross by a matching chain, moonrays bouncing off it's shiny surface.

They both glanced towards the water and gasped, Son of a--- he growled, pulling his shoes off and throwing his jacket down. Call 911 now! he shouted before diving into the water. Michiru panicked but did as told, running back to the car to get a cell. He swam through the dark waters, it was hard to see at this time of the night, finding Haruka near the bottom obviously not breathing anymore.

A few minutes later he surfaced, holding Haruka around her waist with one arm and reaching for the dock with the other. Michiru pulled her out and laid her on the wooden planks, as Yatero clambered out of the water. EMS is on it's way ... she said quietly. He leaned over her face, trying to feel for a breath. Michiru she's not breathing.

Well then start resuscitation! Michiru cried out. He nodded with an annoyed look on his face and began breathing for her, before checking a pulse. Damnit Haruka! he grumbled, beginning compressions. Moments later the paramedics arrived, immediately asking questions about what was happening and the conditions of the patient. Bringing out a compact defibrillator they shocked Haruka's lifeless body before getting the heart to beat again. Let's intabate! one of them shouted, the other nodding and ripping a plastic package open removing a long clear tube ...

Fifteen minutes later Michiru sat in a badly upholstered chair in the waiting room of the hospital. It's cheery atmosphere was almost taunting Michiru, and she grew restless of just sitting around. Michiru calm down. Yatero spoke silently. But before she could retort back a doctor came out pulling bloody gloves off of his hands, Michiru Kaiou?
