Chapter 11: Trust
Much to Michirus surprise, Harukas before cold body heated up again with abnormal speed, and soon, the blonde opened her eyes again. "Hey." She spoke, looking up at Michiru, who still held her. "You awake again?" Michiru asked, smiling. Haruka nodded and sat up, rubbing her head. "Ow…now that was cold in there." "Are you feeling well?" Michiru asked, concern in her voice. Haruka nodded and gave her a lopsided grin. "Sorta. I'm fit enough to leave this place." She stood up, a little saddened about the fact that she had to leave Michirus embrace, and pulled the aqua haired girl to her feet. "C'mon, let's hurry. Before somebody notices that you are gone." Michiru nodded and unlocked the door again. Haruka quickly checked out the hallway. "No one here." She whispered. "Let's do that quick." With that, she shot out a string of web which got stuck at the far end of the hallway. The blonde grabbed Michiru around the waist and made the web run back into her wrist, causing both Michiru and her to fly towards the end of the hallway at tremendous speed. Michiru let out a gasp, and she was glad when she felt the ground underneath her feet again. "Flying through Tokyo is definitely more fun." She whispered. Haruka smiled and shrugged. That was when one of the countless guards suddenly came walking around the next corner and spotted them. His eyes went wide, and he opened his mouth to scream, when all of a sudden a string of white web taped over his lips, shutting them. Haruka gave him a short, cold grin before she jumped over to him and knocked him out. She pulled his laser gun out of his lifeless hands and threw it over to Michiru, who caught it. "Let's leave." The blonde then said, and the duo continued their way out.
Two hours later, Haruka and Michiru sat in another hotel room, Haruka sneezing loudly while Michiru prepared tea for her. "Seems like you caught a cold." Michiru spoke, smiling. Haruka nodded while sneezing again. "Yeah…damn. That shouldn't happen, they must've made some mistake." She sneezed again, and Michiru handed her the teacup. "There you go…special Kaioh tea for people who have a cold." Haruka eyed the oddly colored tea before taking a sip. Her eyes went wide, she swallowed and coughed before she cried out: "My God! That tastes like shit!" Michiru giggled and sat down next to her. "I know. But it helps." She then promised. Haruka eyed her warily, sighed and emptied the cup with two huge gulps. She shuddered as soon as the tea was down before placing her cup nicely on the floor. "And it really helps?" "Well, it did for me. I don't know if it works for people with spider DNA." Haruka poked her tongue out at the giggling Michiru before she let herself fall back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. Michiru fell on her back, too, ending up next to Haruka. The two women laid in silence for a moment until Haruka spoke: "Wanna see something nifty?" Michiru looked at her and nodded. Haruka sat up again, and suddenly she jumped forward. Michiru already feared that she would crash against the wall and hurt herself, but to her huge surprise, Haruka somehow managed to hold on the wall with her hands and feet, sitting on it. "What the…" Michiru mumbled, her eyes widening when Haruka started to crawl up the wall and finally ended up on the ceiling, cowering on it. The blonde looked down on Michiru and chuckled at her facial expression. "How can you do that?" Michiru finally managed to ask. Haruka shrugged, what looked kinda odd since she was upside down, and replied: "Spider ability." She let her feet dangle down, hanging down now, before she pulled her legs up again behind her, making it look as if she was lying on the ceiling. "That's amazing." Michiru spoke, true astonishment in her voice. Haruka grinned and finally let go of the ceiling, falling down to the floor. She landed on her feet safely and shrugged. "Not a big deal. It's fun though." "I wish I could do that, too." Michiru spoke, envy in her voice. Haruka chuckled and sat down again. "Well, be happy that you didn't have to go through the experiments they made with me. It was really…painful." Her voice had became softer and softer, and the last word was almost inaudible. Michiru put a gentle hand on Harukas shoulder, causing her to look at her. "Haruka…if you ever want to talk again about what happened to you, I'll be there to listen. Okay?" Haruka smiled and nodded. "Thanks." She softly spoke before reaching up and taking Michirus hand into hers. She looked at the aqua haired girl again. "Michiru…do you remember when I said that I don't trust you?" Michiru nodded, feeling a short pang of pain at the memory. "Well…" Haruka now continued, "I have to take that back. You see…I do trust you." Michiru broke into a wide grin, and before Haruka knew what was happening to her, the aqua haired girl had tackled her, and they both fell back, with Michiru ending up on top of Haruka. "Hey!" the blonde called out, smiling a little. "What are you doing?" Michiru giggled and pressed Haruka back down when she wanted to sit up. "I'm just happy that you trust me." She then replied. Haruka raised one eyebrow. "Oh? Do you always tackle people when they make you happy?" Michiru shook her head, her aqua colored locks flying around. "Normally not. Only if I happen to really like them." Haruka blushed, which made her make look very cute, and coughed, while Michiru giggled again.
