Chapter 9: Haruka To The Rescue
As soon as the twilight came, Michiru left her house, ready to drive into the hospital and visit her lover. She patiently waited at the bus stop until the bus arrived, climbed in, paid and made her way to one of the free seats. As always, the people on the bus stared at her and soon started whispering to each other. Michiru heard the words "Freak", "Vampire" and – that was new – "Dyke", but she pretended that she didn't notice. It worked pretty well – until she saw one of the four beat nicks who had once tried to rape her sitting in the last row. And he saw her. "Hey, you!" he suddenly yelled, jumping up. Michirus eyes widened, and she stopped dead in her tracks. The boy grinned at her, but his grin was cruel, dangerous. "Where are you going? You wanna see your dykish friend?" Michiru assumed that "dykish" was a new word, since everyone seemed to use it all of a sudden. "I assume that you are talking about Haruka." She now spoke, trying to keep her voice calm. To her own surprise, she managed to do so pretty good. "And yes, I do want to see her." "Awww, two lovebirds! Too bad that they are both female and thus two sickos!" the boy jeered. Michiru decided that it would be the best thing to ignore him and finally found an empty seat, with her back to the beat nick. "I'm talking to you, dyke." The boy suddenly spoke into her ear, causing her to flinch. His right hand came out of nowhere and landed on Michirus breast. "Take your filthy fingers from me!" the aqua haired girl yelled out, fear in her voice. "Make me." The beat nick replied, his fingers giving a rough squeeze. Michiru looked at the other people in the bus, searching for help, but no one reacted. The bus came to a stop, and everyone got out – except for Michiru and the young man. "Seems like we are alone." The boy grinned, moving around until he faced his victim. Michiru tried to hit her tormentor, but he easily caught her fist. Holding her wrists with one hand, he dragged her off her seat and forced her own her back, grinning down at her. "Now, the fun begins." He whispered before he rammed his tongue into Michirus mouth, forcing a wet kiss from her.
"You like that?" the beat nick asked, looking down at the crying Michiru with a cruel smile on his face. By now, he had managed to tear her blouse and her bra off, leaving her topless. Michiru knew that she was in deep trouble; he was too strong to fight him, and no one was around – except for the bus driver, who simply drove on and pretended not to notice what was going on behind his back. The bus came to a halt at the next stop, and Michiru heard the doors open. "Help!" she screamed, "please, someone…" her cries were muffled when the mayor's son pressed his hand on her mouth. "Shut up, no one will help you anyway." He growled. "Don't be too sure about that." A low, husky voice suddenly came from behind. Michirus eyes lit up when her tormentor suddenly got grabbed from behind and was pulled off her. Haruka slammed the beat nick against the next window, holding him there. "You god damn bastard." The blonde pressed out between gritted teeth. "I'll teach you to try and rape my girl!" Michiru managed to sit up in the meantime and grabbed her torn blouse to cover herself. Haruka now landed a hard punch in the boys gut, causing him to gasp. He would've doubled over, but Harukas other hand that had closed around his throat didn't allow that. "Your ass is grass." Haruka spoke, her voice a dangerous, low growl – though it sounded sexy to Michiru, it scared the shit out of the wannabe rapist. "Please don't hurt me." The boy whimpered, shivering with fear. Haruka glared at him and replied: "Not hurt you? You were about to rape the woman I love, and now you dare to beg me not to hurt you?" The last words were shouted loud enough to wake the dead, and the boy started to tremble even more. "Haruka." Michiru now gently spoke, standing up. "Leave him alone." The aqua haired woman now begged, earning a surprised look from Haruka. Michiru put one hand on her lover's arm, feeling the bandage underneath her clothing, and repeated: "Leave him alone. I think he's learned his lesson…and if you keep threatening him, he'll wet his pants." Haruka couldn't help but smile at that let go of the boys throat. "Get. Out. Now." She commanded. The beat nick quickly hurried away and jumped off the bus as soon as it stopped again. As soon as he was gone, Michiru allowed herself to break down. She fell into Harukas arms, crying heavily. The blonde grimaced for a second when Michirus weight crashed against her also bandaged rip area, but she quickly pulled her lover into a reassuring hug. "Shht. It's over." "Oh God…if you wouldn't have come…" Michiru whimpered, hiding her face in Harukas chest. Haruka stroke her back, whispering into her ear. "But I did come. And you are save now, don't worry anymore." Michiru nodded before looking up at her lover. "But…what are you doing on that bus anyway?" Haruka smiled sheepishly. "I was leaving the hospital and already on the bus back into town when I realized that I left my cell phone in the nurse room." She explained. "So I got on the next bus back to the hospital…and found that dork on top of you." Michiru let out a happy sigh and leaned against her lover again. "Good thing you forgot your cell phone." She stated. "Now, let's get out and catch the next bus home." Haruka nodded, and soon, the two women left the bus.
