A.N: Gomen!! It's late, I know. Oh boy.. Anyway, I know little about law so this chapter will be completely odd as far as law terms and stuff go. R&R!!

Haruka sighed and pouted at Michiru. The smaller woman smiled and worked on getting Haruka's tie on.
"You should go in a buisness woman's suit."
Haruka shook her head and pulled away just as Michiru finished and was going to tie bows.
"We should get in there, Haruka. They're about ready to begin."
The blonde nodded and faced the smaller woman. "Michiru.."
"Yes?"
"This may be our last day together, and in the beginning I know what I tried to do was wrong and.."
Michiru's heart quickened. "Yes?"
There was a small knock on the door, which startled both women. "Two minutes, ladies!"
Haruka nodded again. "Well. I.."
"..You.."
She stepped foward quickly and kissed Michiru's cheek. "Love you."
She quickly left the room.
"..And so, with no real proof of anything, you dare acuse Haruka of grand robbery?" Haruka lawyer asked.
"Well, yes," William replied.
"And, to touch on another issue, you stole what you thought was a very expensive star dolphin from Miss Kaiou's house? Is that right?"
William sighed and nodded. "No more questions, your honor."
"..And that night, when Haruka supposdly came to your house, did she come to steal the dolphin?" Haruka's lawyer asked.
"No. She had heard that William was plotting on it and came to warn me. A maid let her in without me knowing, and when I found her I hit her."
"With a bat?"
"Yes, sir. I now regret that."
Michiru wouldn't look at the blonde. She was still in a little shock from the kiss. Yes, she loved Haruka, too. Had she really expected to be loved back?
She knew Haruka was grinning a little. The plan was perfect.
"Miss Kaiou. When William broke into your house, did you see him yourself?"
"Yes, there was a bright moon, and Haruka got pictures."
"Did she?"
"Yes. She has them now."
The lawyer walked back and took the pictures from the blonde, then walked back and gave them to the judge."
William glared at the girl. He had had no idea pictures were taken. They had evidence!
"So, Miss Tenoh, are you saying William's accusation is false?"
"Yes, sir. William is jealous of me, and angry, because I exposed his plot, and--"
"Your Honor!" William's lawyer spoke loudly, coming in through the large doors with a man Haruka had once stole for. She froze.
"Your Honor, I would like some time to review this new witness's statements with you."
"Very well. This court will take a short recess. Dismissed for now."
Haruka sat, leaned against Michiru, as the judge, man, and lawyer came back out of the room. The man approached the witness stand.
William's lawyer leaned against it. "Mr. Lapinski, you have come foward with a statement about Haruka being a thief, too. We wish to hear your story."
"Well, sir, I hired Miss Tenoh to steal something for me. I had gotten word that she was a good thief."
"And how much did you pay Haruka?"
"One million."
"And did Haruka retrieve this object?"
"Yes."
"Do you have that proof?"
"No, sir, I do not."
Haruka let out a sigh.
"Pity. Your turn," the lawyer said as he went back to his seat.
Haruka's lawyer stood and went to the stand. "Mr. Lapinski. So, from what you have told us you have no evidence, and we can only go by your word, right?"
The man fiddled with his hat. "Well, yes, sir."
"Could it be possible that you were paid to lie?"
"Maybe, sir, but under no circumstance was this done."
"And we only have your word on that?"
The man nodded. The lawyer nodded. "No more questions."
"All rise!"
The judge spoke, "The court will be taking another short recess so that I may review everything. I will give the final verdict once we are back in session."
The blonde was shaking, and Michiru gently rubbed her shoulders to keep her calm. "In the verdict, I, the honorable judge of this court, upon reviewing any evidence presented, find that Haruka Tenoh is.."
