Chapter 8: Revelations
„What's this?" Michiru asked while she walked closer to the desk where Haruka still stood, looking at the album she had found. "Michiru…there's something I need to ask." The blonde finally spoke, looking at the smaller woman. "Yes…?" Michiru replied, frowning. "Are you gay?" Haruka asked bluntly, earning a surprised look from Michiru. "Well…yes. But why…" "We have to get out of here. Now." Haruka interrupted her, grabbing the album in the process. "But Haruka!" Michiru protested. "Why…" Before she could finish her sentence, the blonde had roughly taken her arm and pulled her out of the office. "Haruka!" Michiru protested. „Don't be so rude! You are ripping my arm off!" Haruka didn't react to the aqua haired girls complaints, but pulled her down the stairs and over to her car. "Get in. Fast!" The tone of Harukas voice was so urgent and hectic that Michiru automatically obeyed her and climbed into the car. Haruka quickly started and drove off, back home to the Kaioh mansion. "Now, care to tell me about that ruckus?" Michiru finally spoke up while Haruka parked her car in front of the huge house. The blonde sighed and leaned back in the driver's seat before she tossed the album to Michiru, who caught it with a surprised yelp. Glaring at Haruka, the violinist opened the album and read what stood inside. "Tokyo League Of Heterosexual Decency…what's that supposed to be?" she wondered out loud while she went through the list of names, spotting her own one. All of a sudden, she went pale. "What is it?" Haruka asked, worried. "That name…Yokito Hatashi…" Michiru whispered, her eyes widening. Haruka looked at her questioning, and Michiru spoke on. "I knew him. He was a well known gay movie director…and murdered a month ago."
One hour later, Haruka and Michiru sat on the couch, both looking through the album. Much to the two women's horror, they had discovered that it contained various newspaper articles about murders on famous gay people, along with articles on official outings of celebrities. The last one in the album was about Michiru, who had had her coming out on one of her concerts. "I think I get it now." Haruka mumbled while she closed the album. Michiru looked at her questioning, and the blonde spoke on. "The Tokyo League Of Heterosexual Decency…I think that they are a bunch of crazy homophobes who try to kill off homosexual celebrities…maybe because they could be idols for kids or some crap like that, I don't know." The blonde let out a heavy sigh. "And I think that Peter is one of them."
"Peter…?" Michiru repeated, shocked. "But…if he's so homophobic…then why did he…" "Take me in his agency?" Haruka finished the sentence for her, and Michiru nodded. "Because he doesn't know that I'm gay." The blonde explained. "Oh." Michiru replied intelligently. „Well...and what will you do now?" she then asked. "Go to the police and show them this." Haruka replied. "This is too big for me to handle, I'm just a bodyguard. The cops will know what to do." Michiru nodded, showing her agreement. "Let's drive to the police then." She finally spoke. "We should end this as soon as possible." Haruka nodded and rose from the couch. "Come on, let's get moving." She was just about to walk out of the living room when the huge panorama window in the northern wall burst and four men jumped in.
"What the….?!" Haruka cried out, spinning around to face the intruders. Her eyes went wide at what she saw. The men who had entered the house were bodyguards from Peter's Agency, the best male ones he had. One of them made a move towards Michiru, but Haruka realized his intentions fast enough and shouted: "Michiru! Get out of here!" She hadn't finished the sentence when Michiru already sped past her, for some reason upstairs instead of out of the house. (A/N: Don't you just hate it too when the chicks do that in movies like "Scream"? The killer is after them, and the stupid cucumbers run upstairs instead of out of the house! -_-;;;) Haruka rolled her eyes at the somehow stupid decision of her client before she went into fighting stance. "What do you want?" the blonde yelled. "Peter sent us." The tallest of the quartet replied. "We are here to get the album you stole…and to get rid of you, dyke." Haruka clenched her teeth at the insult, as well as her fists. "Well then, to get that album, you will have to get past me first!" she then yelled. As if on cue, the four men attacked her.
Haruka fought long and hard, but in the end, she was overpowered. Although she was a well trained bodyguard, she couldn't stand a chance at four men who were as trained as she and much stronger. Soon, the blonde found herself lying on the floor in a bloody pulp, her whole body aching. "Get the girl." One of the four men now spoke while he pulled out a gun and aimed it at the back of Harukas head. "I'll take care of this carpet licking dyke in the meantime."
A/N: Yeah, cliffhanger! Don't kill me! Please! I had too much caffeine! So I'll stop now! Bai Bai! (Cloud is dragged off by an angered Haruka and Michiru, who immediately take the unlucky author to the medical center for caffeine addicts…)
