Chapter 16: Michiru Captured
The next morning, Michiru awoke to find the bed next to her empty. Her eyes went wide, and for one second she feared that Haruka maybe had left during the night and now already was on her way to another country. Her thoughts were interrupted when the door of the hut opened and Haruka came walking in, shaking some snowflakes out of her hair while she entered. "Hey." Michiru spoke, relief filling her heart when she smiled at the blonde, who returned the smile. "Hey, good morning. Who would've guessed that it's snowing up here?" Haruka replied, walking over to the bed and sitting down on the edge of it in the process. "Did you sleep well?" the blonde now asked before gently kissing her girlfriend. "Yeah...I guess asking you how you slept is unnecessary, huh?" Haruka shrugged and nodded. "No sleep for me." she then spoke, giving her lover an awkward lopsided smile. "But I think I'm getting used to it by now." Michiru let out a small sigh and climbed out of the bed, right into Harukas waiting arms. The couple kissed again, then Haruka pointed towards the front door. "Aside from the snow, the weather is great, you wanna take a short walk?" Michiru smiled and nodded. "Just give me five minutes to get dressed, then we can go." Haruka nodded and allowed it that Michiru climbed out of her arms, though she pouted as soon as the aqua haired girl had moved away from her. The blonde watched how her lover got dressed, already considering to throw the aqua haired girl on the bed and make love to her for hours, but her plans were destroyed again when Michiru smiled at her in a very sweet way and asked: "I'm ready, you wanna go now?" The blonde nodded and stood up, reaching out to take Michirus hand, when all of a sudden a huge explosion caused the hut to shake and both Haruka and Michiru to fall. Haruka groaned and opened her eyes. Slowly, her surroundings came into view - and she found herself looking into the barrel of a gun. "So, we finally found you." Ichiros voice came, full of hate and satisfy. Haruka moaned in pain - she must've hit her head somewhere during her fall - and tried to look past Ichiro to find out if Michiru was alright. "Michiru isn't here anymore." Ichiro now spoke, grinning evilly. "She's already on her way to the lab. There are some great tests and experiments that we want to run on her." "No." Haruka whispered, trying to sit up. "Leave her...alone..." She fell back, groaning in pain. "Too bad that we don't need you anymore." Ichiro now spoke, grinning. "I'm afraid that I have to get rid of you, Subject. But don't worry, Michiru won't sufer as much pain as you had to, seeing that she can block the pain out of her mind." With that, Ichiro readied his gun, aiming it at Haruka. With the last bit of strength she could find, the blonde shot a string of web out of her wrist up to the ceiling. It got stuck, and Haruka pulled herself up, hoping that she would be able to swing past Ichiro and out of the hut to safe Michiru. She was too slow. Ichiro fired, the bulllet hit the blondes side, and she let go of her web when immense pain shot through her body. Haruka fell to the floor in a limp head, clutching her wounded side and moaning in pain. Ichiro grinned at her, turned around and left the hut. "Blow it up." were the last words Haruka heard before the hut exploded. Michiru sat in the black car her brother and his men had used to come up to the hut, her hands cuffed behind her back. Next to her, one of Ichiros men sat, his right arm around her shoulders, his left hand on her upper thigh, stroking her. The aqua haired girl had to see how Ichiro walked out of the hut and had a short talk with his other man, then the guy put something on the wall of the hut, turned around and ran. A few seconds later, the hut blew up, pieces of wood flying everywhere. "NO!" Michiru screamed, realizing with shock and fear that Haruka still had been in there. "No! Haruka! Oh my God, NO!" "Shut up!" the man who sat next to her bellowed, anger in his voice. Ichiro and the other man got into the car, and Ichiro shot a cruel smile at his now crying sister. "Well, my dear, seems like your lover here just turned into a pile of smoking spider web." he spoke, grinning in a pretty sadistic way. Michiru still cried when the car drove off, leaving the remains of the hut behind.
