Chapter 21: Hero Of The Day

Two weeks later, Haruka was released form the hospital, much to her happiness. Michiru of course was there when her lover finally could go home, like she had been there everyday, from eight in the morning until five in the evening. Haruka was whistling a happy tune while she got out of the hospital gown she had been wearing and changed into her regular clothes, the blue jeans, white muscle shirt and the black button shirt. The blonde was just about to close her belt when she noticed the longing look Michiru gave her. "Honey?" she finally asked, her eyebrow jerking upwards. "Oh, I just remembered something." Michiru spoke, smiling in a pretty mischief way. Harukas second eyebrow joined the first one, and Michiru giggled before she moved over to the blonde, hugging her around the waist. "You see, Haruka...I really liked it when you were chained to that bed." Haruka laughed and grinned. "Well then, I guess you still have the handcuffs." she then spoke, a mischief sparkle in her teal eyes. Michiru smiled back and nodded. "Yes, in fact I do. Why?" Haruka whispered something in her ear, and the aqua haired girl blushed heavily. "You're such a hentai!" she then accused her lover, who just grinned. "You're one to talk, love." was the only reply Michiru got before the couple sank into a long, passionate kiss.

Haruka walked out of the hospital, her arm around Michirus waist, glad that she finally was free again. "I really hate hospitals." the blonde mumbled while she walked down the stairs, earning a giggle from Michiru. "I know, darling. You told me everyday during the last two weeks." Haruka blushed and chuckled. "Well...you know what the only fun thing about the hospital was?" Michiru shook her head no and waited for Haruka to speak on. "When the doctor found out that I never sleep. The look on the guys face..." Michiru giggled when she remembered that incident and nodded. "Yep, that was in fact funny. But what..." All of a sudden, Harukas head jerked up, and one second later, the sound of a shot could be heard. Michiru flinched, her eyes wide. "What..." "The Tokyo National bank." Haruka mumbled, staring down the street. "Somebody is trying to rob it!" With that, the blonde let go of the surprised Michiru and started to run down the street with tremendous speed, pulling her sleeves back from her wrists in the process. "Haruka!" Michiru cried out, running after her. "Haruka, wait!" The blonde didn't seem to hear her, since she just increased her speed. She reached the entrance of the bank just in time to spot the two robbers running towards it. "End of the line, friends." Haruka growled before she raised both hands, shooting two long, thick strings of web out. The web got stuck to the front door, sealing it, causing one of the two men to crash against it. He fell back on the floor with a groan, and Haruka gave him a cold grin before she shot out another string of web, pulling herself up towards the next window. Quickly, the blonde shattered the glass and climbed in, running over to the stairway. She hurried down, into the main hall of the bank, where one of the robbers was kneeling over his unconscious friend. All of a sudden, the man felt someone grab his collar, then he got yanked up and spun around until he found himself face to face with a pair of cold, teal eyes. "Not a good idea to rob a bank whem I'm near, buddy." Haruka spoke, giving him a cruel smile. The robber gasped and tried to reach for his gun, but Haruka was faster and snatched it from his belt, throwing it over her shoulder. She threw the man to the ground, and before he knew what happened, had him tied up with her web. "Now be a good boy and stay here until the police comes to pick you up." the blonde then spoke, grinning. "She's a hero!" one of the bank's customers suddenly called out behind the blondes back, causing her to turn around. "What...?" "A hero!" the boss of the bank now cried out, storming towards the surprised Haruka and hugging her. Outside the bank, Michiru tried to open the door, at first with no avail. Then she saw the web, sighed, tore it off and entered the bank. "Haruka!" she cried out, pulling the blonde away from the boss and into her own arms. "Never do that again, you hear? You scared me." Haruka smiled at her and gently kissed her. "Okay, honey. I guess that was my soldier sense coming through...you know, fighting evil and stuff." Michiru giggled and nodded before she hugged Haruka once more. "Yeah...my hero." she whispered into the blondes ear while everyone who had been in the bank cheered and clapped for the blonde. Haruka just smiled and picked Michiru up on her arms, carrying her out of the bank, ignoring the boss who was calling out to her, asking for her name. The couple entered the next taxi and drove off, the bank's boss still yelling after them.
