Minna-san can you stand a little shortness?


~The Ocean's lovers~
chapter 7


and the world shattered. Minako felt Michiru's hands leaving hers. "Damn you Setsuna. Why the
hell did it have to happen now?" Inside she knew it wasn't Setsuna's fault. It was no ones fault.
Now she needed to just get over it.

"Oh god no!" It was the first thought she had. She couldn't help but put her hands up to her face.
If this was come cruel joke..... "That's not funny Setsuna." She told Setsuna in a voice that
chilled her own spine. "Who's laughing?" Setsuna whispered to herself. Michiru shook Setsuna.
"Stop it! Stop pretending this isn't a bad situation." Michiru started crying and finally pushed
at Setsuna and ran away. Setsuna was about to chase after her when she heard a voice. "Don't. She
needs sometime alone" She looked over at Minako who was still sitting at the table. Her eyes were
downcast and she spoke without looking to see if Setsuna was still there. "These last few days
have made her a little emotional." Setsuna watched as Minako slowly stood up from the table and
began to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Setsuna called after her. "She needs you right now." Minako snorted. "Right
now I'm the last person she needs to see." She could feel the tears slowly sliding down her
cheecks. "Please don't leave her alone!" Setsuna cried. "She'll never be alone." With that said
she started to run away. "What should I tell her?" Minako yelled behind her. "I don't care!"
Her voice was dripping with pain and hurt.

Meanwhile in the bathroom.....

"Haruka.... I'm sorry I didn't mean to. It's just that I was alone and I didn't know you where
comming back." Michiru pounded at her reflection not knowing what to say. She had run into the
bathroom. Too much was happening to her. "First I lose Haruka then I fall for Minako and now Haruka
has come back! Oh god what have I done to desirve this?" Then she heard Setsuna come in. "Hey,
are you ok?" Setsuna placed her hand on Michiru's shoulder. "Oh Setsuna Why did it have to happen
now? Just when I got over her Haruka comes back into my life." Setsuna hugged Michiru close to
her. "Oh Michiru I'm so sorry. You've misunderstood me. We have found Sailor Uranus. A new one."
She whiped one of the tears from Michiru's eyes and made Michiru look into her eyes. "We found a
replacement. Not Haruka." Michiru was torn from being sad and being happy. It wasn't if she didn't
want Haruka back but she just now got over her.

"Oh" she replied. She exited the bathroom and looked out the window. She looked at Tokyo bay and
watched as the lights reflected off of it. "Setsuna what is she like?" Michiru asked as her voice
was lost sounding. Setsuna shrugged even though Michiru couldn't see her. "I don't know we haven't
found her yet." Michiru spun around. "I thought you said...." She was cut off by Setsuna. "Yes I
know what I said. I ment that we found her knowing that she exsits." Michiru then understood and
nodded. "I see" She turned around and looked out the window again. The skyline was so beautiful
and so peacful. Then she saw a blonde figure running across the patio crying. She screamed at the
window. "MINAKO-CHAN!"

Minako was running she didn't care where she was running. She just kept running. She couldn't see
where she was going so it didn't matter anyways. "God why do you hate me? What have I done? I
thought that you had given me a break and for once let me love someone and they loved me back."
The thought of Michiru made her heart squeeze so hard that it was painfull. In turn this made her
run faster and cry harder.

Michiru had bust through the emegency exit and heard the alarm go off. It matched the alarm that
was going off in her head. "It is an emergency" her mind cried at the door. She began to chase
Minako screaming her name.

All that Minako could think about was Michiru. The way her face lit up and how she was smiling.
Then she thought about how they had just kissed. Hell she even heard her screaming her name.
She blinked she was screaming her name. She could tell that Michiru was running after her.
She busted another burst of energy and kept running. She tripped and grabed onto the nearest
thing which was a flood wall.

Michiru saw Minako fall down and she screamed she was able to run up enough time to see her hand
slipping.

Minako looked up and saw Michiru and she kept looking at her as Michiru began to float farther
away then she felt the cold water consumer her.
