Fighting Destiny
Chapter 6 "Reality"
Haruka's plan began well, but now she had to concentrate on something better, the final race was in one week. Within the week she called Hotaru and Setsuna plenty of times, to know how they were and stuff like that, in her 'private conversations' with her spy she discovered that Michiru will be doing a performance to close her tour on Tokyo, but the tickets were sold out so she moved some influences and got a single ticket in the front row, but something worried her and that was that 'stupid shity Rukawa' has been seeing and calling Michiru a lot…and that just meant one thing: problems; she discarded this 'little detail' and worried about what to do in the concert.
She arrived to the auditorium on time; she was clothed on a black tuxedo and a yellow rose adorned it. She sited and then 'she' appeared, the beautiful sea goddess, playing a new song a kind of "sad hopeful one" you could tell. The violinist looked beautiful with a black dress and her hair done in a stylish way she had her eyes closed concentrating at full with the song, losing herself in her own made world. Something that always hurt Haruka because she felt alone 'it's not fair to indulge yourself in your own world' her mind echoed.
The piece was extraordinaire; you could feel it like a vision of a faraway land, with high cliffs and a beautiful sea crashing with the stones a cold place but with the greener hills you've never seen. Haruka opened her eyes when the song ended everyone clapping at the performance. It was weird that she could see the world Michiru was creating with her violin. But then the player surprised her audience one more time giving them a powerful song full of energy, and then Haruka's face fell a bit as Michiru began a duel with a pianist, both of them playing the song as a fight, they ended at the same time earning a loud cheers from the audience.
She saw the program and her eyes opened when she recognized the name of the song: 'destiny' it was one they wrote together and they only played for each other. She hadn't recognized it sooner because Michiru changed some notes and increased the tempo giving it more power and a feeling of desperation. The concert went on like this with Michiru giving an extraordinaire lesson of her talent, then as the final song ended everyone was stood up clapping thunderously. Flowers showered in the scenario but Michiru got shocked when she saw one: a yellow rose.
She turned and saw 'her' smiling proudly, clapping. She gave in, she didn't know why but she just reacted lifting the single rose, when she lifted her eyes to see the owner, she has disappeared. She gave a reverence and finally disappeared behind the curtains, she walked quickly but a voice stopped her instantly "Congratulations, it was the best performance I've heard from you"
She turned addressing to the tall blonde "Haruka…glad you liked it…" in a polite voice.
"It was amazing" she answered with honestly.
"Well, sometimes change made us good, you should think about it" answered truthfully with a tinge of coldness wondering why every time she saw Haruka she changed to a defensive posture.
That hurt Haruka, it was a direct statement, but she won't break in front of her, not now, amazingly she didn't loose calm and with tenderness she said "You are right…sometimes it make us good…although sometimes it kills us…" she approached to the violinist, just when she was a foot apart Michiru shook her head 'I'm not going to fall again, not again' her mind remembered her "Sto-stop it Haruka what do you want?" she asked frowning.
"A second chance…that's all" she pleaded looking right into Michiru's soul.
"Forget it…you are not going to have it"
Still not giving up she shifted to 'Plan B' "Well…then let me invite you to congratulate your playing"
Michiru was taken aback "Hu…Maybe some other time"
"Please" she asked giving her a longing look.
Michiru closed her eyes and sighed in sadness "Haruka you don't understand do you? It's over…move on…what we had was built upon trust and that doesn't exist anymore…please, spare yourself the pain…move on…"
The racer expected everything but that; she knew she would find a cold and uncooperative Michiru but she never thought she would find her tired and defeated one, she closed her eyes, this was going wrong, very wrong "I apologize for wasting your time" she said truthfully, then she took the violinist hand and kissed it reverently "I'm sorry and congratulations for your play again…" then the racer left ignoring the sting in her eyes. 'It's not over…not yet! It can't be!' she tried to convince herself but it was a hard task.
Setsuna called her to her cell phone and Haruka told her about today "I'm sorry Haruka…but you should not push her, let her take her time…maybe later…"
"Then when Setsuna? When it's too late for everything?! I won't lose her! I don't want to!"
"Haruka don't give up…remember what you told me 'we made our destiny'"
"…Thanks…I'll keep it on mind…" she sighed and reminded "Hu…on Sunday I'll have my race…"
"We know Haruka…we saw you in the last one, good turn"
Haruka frowned 'gee it seems that everyone saw that moment' she shook her head "Well, can you come? Hmmm, tell, tell Michiru to come too…"
"Okay I'll invite her casually ok? Geez Haruka you have no touch…"
"Well, sorry that is not one of my social skills…"
"Do you have skills?" Setsuna teased wanting to cheer her up.
"Shut up" the racer answered smiling a little.
