Chapter 10: One Day In My Life
„*sob* Do you have any idea how much this car cost?" Saeko cried while staring at the damaged front of her Mercedes. Haruka just rolled her eyes and replied: "You should be glad that we all are still alive, and stop worrying about the car." Michiru leaned against the taller blonde, glancing towards the other end of the tunnel where Kenshi's Van was stuck. "We should get moving again." She then said. "Before Kenshi gets out of the car and attacks us." Haruka nodded and already walked over to the driver's seat, but suddenly someone grabbed her collar, holding her. "No, no, no." Saeko spoke. "This time, I will drive. My car gained enough damage for one day!"
"Here we are. The Tokyo Police Station." Saeko proudly announced. "And now get the heck out of my car!" she then shouted, causing both Haruka and Michiru to flinch. The two women quickly obeyed her and climbed out. Before they could say good bye, Saeko had pushed down the gas pedal and was gone. "And they say that I'm obsessed with my cars." Haruka mused. Michiru gave her a little smile. "Good thing that you are a pro racer, now Kenshi is stuck in that tunnel and we have enough time to report him." Haruka smiled at her, nodded, and the two of them walked into the police station.
"I see." The officer who wrote down all the info Haruka and Michiru gave him mumbled. He finally looked at Haruka and Michiru, smiling. "Your husband will get a nice visit from the cops soon, Kaioh-San. Until then, I suggest that you stay with Tenoh-San, to make sure that he doesn't harm you anymore." "Thanks." Michiru whispered, looking down on her feet. "Hey." Haruka put a gentle arm around her shoulders, earning a little smile in return. "We'll call you as soon as we know more about your husband." The cop now said. Michiru nodded, signed the protocol and left the police station with Haruka. "Great, now we have to walk." The blonde moaned as soon as they were out on the street. Michiru giggled. "Can't you steal another car?" she then asked. Haruka laughed and shook her head. "No. That was a one time action." She looked down the street and soon spotted the object of her secret desire. Waving her hand, she called out: "Taxi!" the yellow cab pulled over to the two women and stopped. Both Haruka and Michiru climbed in, and the car drove off, towards Harukas mansion.
Haruka entered the living room and let herself fall down on the couch, groaning. Her neck hurt. Michiru entered shortly after and spoke: "Do you want me to cook lunch?" Haruka sat up so fast that Michiru wondered if she had given herself whiplash. "Would be great." Haruka now said, rubbing her neck. "But we can also go to some restaurant if you like." She then added. Michiru shook her head. "No. I'd prefer to stay here…so Kenshi won't be able to find us." Haruka nodded, then moved over to where Michiru sat and put one arm around her. "You like to do that, huh?" Michiru softly asked. "What?" Haruka asked, totally clueless. "Hold me." Michiru replied. Haruka blushed furiously and just wanted to pull her arm back while stammering an excuse when Michiru suddenly took a hold of her wrist. "Don't pull away. I don't mind." She quickly spoke. Haruka gave her a little smile. "Do you think they'll lock Kenshi away?" Michiru asked after a few minutes of silence. Haruka nodded. "I'm sure they will. He beat and raped you, after all." Michiru nodded, too, and leaned her head against Harukas shoulder. "I just wish…that one day in my life, I'll be safe." "You will." Haruka promised. Michiru looked at her, a somehow odd expression in her eyes. "There's one more wish I have, Haruka." She softly spoke. "And that would be?" Haruka asked, a little worried. What would come now? Would Michiru wish for her to stop loving her, so they just could be friends? Or would she wish for another man, who would love her with all his heart and never hurt her? "Ever since I married Kenshi…I always wished for someone to love me. For someone who wouldn't hurt me." Michiru spoke, her voice not much more than a whisper. Haruka could feel her heart sink. "She wants another man. Screw my chances of ever conquering her heart, she's straight after all." The blonde thought to herself. "And I think I already found that special someone." Michiru now added, earning a surprised look from Haruka. That was fast. When did she meet that guy, anyway? "R-really?" Haruka stammered. "Where did you meet him?" Michirus eyebrows went up. "Who said that I'm talking about a man?" she then asked, smiling a little. "I was talking about you, Haruka. You." Harukas eyes went wide. "So…you…you thought things over and now you…" the blonde stammered, totally caught off-guard. "Yes." Michiru replied. "I thought long and hard about it…about what I am. And I came to the conclusion that…that I love you."
