A.N: It's late! I know, I know!! I'm doing the best I can but I lost my floppy disk for storing it so I've not the heart for writing..*Says the last line with an accent* Plus I'm sick..my face hurts..soo much pressure.
Anyway, I've decided that there may be a sequel to this!! It depends how it all turns out. I could leave you all at a huge cliffy at the very end or I could end it peacefully and have something come up in the sequel... I wonder...

Immediately, strong arms were around her waist, pulling her close. Michiru relaxed into Haruka's gentle grip, and the tears gradually stopped.
"You alright, lov--uh..Michiru?"
The woman nodded and turned to face the blonde. Her fingers trailed up and the down the tear trails on the taller woman's cheeks. "Why were you crying?"
She looked away. "I wasn't."
"No lie to me, Haruka. Tell me."
"Fine. ...I wanted to love you and be loved in return." The blonde got up and walked out of the room, the hurt look on her face told Michiru that it was a major mistake to reject her out of fear.
"..But I do love you," she whispered, and a sense of de ja vu washed over her of running after the blonde.
But how could she? 'God, she already hates me, why even try anymore?'
The blonde stuffed her hands into her pockets and walked down the street towards the park. "Why didn't I stay, dammit? Maybe she had something to say to me. But why would she?"
She stared up at the pillowed clouds as she sat on a small bench just inside the perimeter of the park. The clouds were so peaceful, and Haruka wished she could float up to them. She sighed as two heart shaped clouds drifted by and shielded the bright moon.
The coolness of the night calmed her, but she jumped when a gentle hand placed itself on her shoulder. She looked up at Michiru. "Did I scare you?"
"The great Haruka Tenoh doesn't get scared," she whispered, but her voice cracked and she began to sob. She felt Michiru pull her close and rub her back. She calmed slightly again.
"Haruka.."
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't push myself on you if you don't feel the same love for me," she said, and looked at the smaller woman. She was surprised to see tears in the girl's eyes.
"But I do love you, Haruka."
Haruka wiped away a tear from Michiru's cheek. "And, Haruka, now that William is behind bars we can finally be at peace."
"I'd have to earn my keep."
"Your company is enough to pay for it. Plus, I've plenty money left, and a few aunts and uncles who love me and probably plan on giving me some part of their fortune."
"So no need to worry?"
"None at all. You know, Haruka, I was watching you the night you took my dolphin. Even if you didn't succeed in stealing it, you've succeeded in stealing my heart."
"But don't think I'll give it back."
"I don't want you to."
"Good. Wouldn't anyway." Haruka leaned over and kissed Michiru full of the lips, feeling an overwhelming sense of love envelope her. She smiled when the smaller woman responded and returned the kiss.
"I love you, 'Ruka."
"I love you, too, Michi."
