Chapter 13: On The Road Again
The next morning, Michiru awoke in Haruka's arms, much to her happiness. "Morning." Haruka spoke, sounding as tired, like she always did in the morning. "Morning, Haruka." Michiru replied, looking up at the blonde. Haruka gave her a weak smile and yawned. "You couldn't sleep again…?" Michiru asked while moving out of the blondes arms and sat up. Haruka nodded and sat up, too. "As always. Did you sleep well?" Michiru blushed a little. "I feel bad to say this, but…yes." Haruka chuckled and shook her head. "Don't feel bad for sleeping well, Michiru. It won't change a thing, but thanks anyway." The blonde stood up after finishing her sentence and stretched, her spine cracking so loudly that even Michiru heard it. The aqua haired girl giggled at her friend and teased her, "Are you getting old, Haruka?" The blonde just poked her tongue out before she threatened, "Silence, little one, before I tie you to the bed with my web." Michiru gave her the cutest set of puppy dog eyes she managed to produce and asked, "You wouldn't really do that, would you?" "I have a feeling of déjà vu." Haruka replied, frowning. Her eyes fell on the bloody chip that still laid on the nightstand, and suddenly, an evil glint entered her eyes. "Well Michiru, better get dressed, so we can leave this place." Michiru nodded and climbed out of the bed, starting to dress herself. She watched how Haruka took the chip that had been in her neck, placing it in her pocket. "What do you want with the chip?" The aqua haired girl asked, curious. Haruka gave her a mischievious grin. "You'll see." She mysteriously replied. Michiru just shrugged and put on her jacket "Ready to go?" Haruka asked. Michiru nodded, and the two women left the hotel room. They quickly paid the bill before they hurried out on the street. Haruka looked at some of the passing cars before she suddenly threw the chip high into the air. When it came back down, she aimed for it and shot a string of her web out, all that watched by a wide-eyed Michiru. The web flew towards one of the driving cars with tremendous speed and finally got stuck to the rear end of one of them. Haruka let go of the web and grinned when she watched the car with the chip now tied to it drive away. "That will fool your brother and his men for some time." She then spoke, grinning at Michiru. The aqua haired girl giggled and nodded. "Good idea, Haruka." She then smiled. Haruka smiled back and shrugged. "Thanks. Now, we should get a car, and make our way outta this city." Michiru nodded, then frowned. "But where shall we get the car from? We don't have enough money to buy one…" she noticed the evil glint in Harukas eyes. "Oh please tell me that you don't want to steal one." The aqua haired girl spoke, shocked. Haruka just grinned and shrugged before she walked over to the hotel's parking lot, already eyeing a black Honda Civic. Michiru covered her eyes with one hand, sighed heavily and finally followed Haruka to the car.
Fifteen minutes later, the two women were back on the road. Haruka was driving fast, but content, and Michiru just sat looking out of the window and listening to the radio. Finally, after a pretty long period of silence, Haruka spoke up. "Listen, Michiru…I don't know if I ask for too much now…but…would you stay with me as soon as we leave Tokyo, or would you like to start your own life?" Michiru looked at her as if she went insane from one minute to the next. "Why of course I want to stay with you, silly." She then spoke, giggling. "Do you think I started a huge family war with my brother, let you cut out a chip from my neck and run away with you and then leave you? What are you, crazy?" Haruka chuckled and shook her head. "I hope not. So it's set, you'll stay with me after we leave Tokyo." The blonde stayed silent for a few moments, then she spoke on, "Any special place you wanna go to?" Michiru thought about it, then shook her head. "No. Just away from here, and to a spot where they can't find us." Haruka nodded, deep in thought all of a sudden. "My parents owned a small hut in the mountains." She then spoke. "We could hide there for a while, until they calmed down about me." Michiru nodded, the thought of being alone with Haruka in a small, lonesome hut filling her with joy and excitement. Maybe she could get the blonde into hooking up with her…unconsciously, Michiru started to grin broadly, earning an odd look from Haruka. "What's so funny?" the blonde finally asked. Michiru snapped out of it and blushed furiously. "Nothing!" she called out, earning another look from Haruka. The blonde just shook her head and continued driving, while Michiru started daydreaming about how she would seduce Haruka as soon as they were settled in the hut.
