::laughs:: Thanks to you-know-who-you-are for telling me that chapters one and two were mixed up! Sorry if you recently read it and it totally didn't make any sense!

Michiru almost tripped running to the doctor anxiously anticipating his response, Yes? I'm Michiru ... He removed his face mask, showing a solemn face. Ms. Tenoh sustained severe brain damage. Her mind was deprived of oxygen for such a long time, a large amount of her brain cells had died.

What are you trying to tell me?? Michiru demanded, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. The doctor hung his head low, It's very unlikely that she will ever wake up again, her brain is showing little or no signs of life. She didn't know how to respond to this, she remained silent, trying to hold her tears back. I'll take you to her room.

She shot a glance at Yatero, who was staring back worried, and quickly looked away. Following the doctor to Haruka's room she stepped in silently, and the doctor closed the door behind her going off to work on other patients. She looked at Haruka's body; her chest was rising and falling alongside a respirator, wires were attached to her left and right, and there was a faint beeping coming from a machine monitoring her heart rate. Her right eye was surrounded by purple circles, and clean white bandages were tightly wrapped around her wrists.

Haruka ... Michiru cried, leaning over her lover's limp body embracing her in a warm hug. She ran her hand over the blonde's cheek bones, her face felt so cold. I'm so sorry ... I should've been there for you ... Tears flowed incessantly from her aqua eyes, it felt like she had lost all her strength, she just couldn't be strong anymore. He has to die ... that bastard has to die!! She screamed, slamming her fist on the bed, I promise that I'll get him back for us both!

She layed next to Haruka for several hours until she decided that it was time to go. Michiru presumed that Yatero had gone home, but was quite surprised when she saw him standing by the exit, I'll give you a lift home. he said quietly. She didn't respond, but he led the way to his car anyways. The nurse had told her earlier that sooner or later, she was going to have to take Haruka off life support, but she just couldn't let go now.

She arrived at her house in the late afternoon, and lazily walked into the kitchen getting a glass of water. After several drinks, she screamed threw the glass down in a frenzy, thrusting her arm over the counter knocking over all jars and other various cooking utensils. Storming out of the kitchen she walked into the den, opening a small safe and pulling out a revolver. Picking up the phone book she flipped through the listings, looking for Hasako's listing. She quickly jotted the address down on a piece of paper and picked up a set of keys, slamming the house door behind her.
