Chapter 14: Bye Bye Daddy
Finally, after almost twenty more minutes, Haruka found herself able to stand up without collapsing again. Gently, the blonde helped Michiru up and supported her, shocked when she saw red blood staining the aqua haired girls shirt. "We have to get her back to the hospital." Hitomi spoke, her voice full of determination. "Before she collapses instead of you, Haruka." Haruka nodded and gently picked Michiru up, carrying her in her arms as if she was a small child. Michiru winced in pain at the movement, her hand coming up to clutch her bleeding stomach. "Shht." Haruka whispered into her girlfriends ear, her voice calming and soothing. "Hold still, Michiru…don't move." Michiru nodded and closed her eyes, resting her head against Harukas shoulder. Quickly, the blonde and Hitomi left the apartment, hurrying over to the car and driving off into the hospital.
Two hours later, Michiru was back in her bed, her wound stitched up again, her doctor mad at her for running off. Haruka sat next to the bed, holding her girlfriends hands and smiling at her non-stop. Michiru, though tired, smiled back, gently squeezing Harukas hands from time to time. "I will make him pay for what he did." Haruka promised before gently kissing her girlfriend. "No need to." Hitomis voice suddenly came form behind, startling both Haruka and Michiru. The elder woman smiled at the two girls and sat down next to Haruka. "I called the police, they're probably picking your father up by now." "Oh." Haruka spoke, sounding slightly disappointed. "Well…I guess that's ok." She finally sighed, leaning back in her chair and looking up to the ceiling. "Though it would have been nice to kick his butt before they lock him in." Hitomi chuckled and nodded. "I totally believe that, Haruka. But it's better that way…he gets what he deserves, and you won't get into any trouble again." Haruka nodded, blushing at the trouble part. Both Hitomi and Michiru giggled at that, and after giving both of them a mock glare, Haruka chuckled with them.
While the three women had their fun in the hospital, Hiroshi was found and immediately arrested from two policemen. Two hours after the attack on his daughter, the doctor found himself in the backseat of a police car, hands cuffed behind his back, full of anger and hate. "All of you will pay for this!" Hiroshi yelled, kicking the door of the car enraged. "I'm in a high position! I know important people!" "And you tried to kill your own daughter, so shut the fuck up and be a good boy." One of the policemen finally barked, and that caused Hiroshi to shut up.
Haruka unlocked the door to the apartment she had used to share with her father, entered and closed the door behind her. Letting out a sigh, the blonde checked her watch, only to find out that it was half past eight pm. Much to her dismay, Michirus doctor had kicked her out at eight, telling her that visiting hours were over; Haruka had tried to convince him into letting her stay by telling him that she was Michirus girlfriend and the famous racer Haruka Tenoh, but he hadn't been impressed at all and simply had kicked her out. Now, the blonde let herself fall down on her couch and stared up at the ceiling. That soon bored her, and so she turned on the TV. Ten minutes later, Haruka was fast asleep on the couch, her snoring echoing through the empty apartment.
The next morning, Haruka was torn out of her sweet dreams when the doorbell rang. Groaning, the blonde forced her eyes open, crawled off the couch and made her way over to the door, rubbing her eyes all the way. Upon opening it, she found herself face to face with Hitomi, who gave her a bright grin. "Rise and shine, Haruka!" she then called out. Haruka just groaned and leaned against the timber set. "Dear God, it's seven am." The racer then spoke, giving Hitomi a mock glare. "What do you want this early?" "Pick you up and drive over to the police station." Hitomi replied, smiling. "You need to give your evidence about the attack." Haruka nodded and yawned before she replied: "Let me get ready, then we can leave."
Twenty minutes later, Haruka and Hitomi were driving over to the Tokyo Police Station, of course in Harukas car, since the blonde would rather die than let anyone drive her anywhere. Soon enough, the two of them reached the police station, Haruka parked her car and both of them got out. They entered the huge building and quickly found the room they were looking for; after a quick introduction, Haruka started giving her evidence, her voice steady all the time.
As soon as the blonde had finished, she signed the protocol and leaned back in her seat, letting out a sigh. "What will happen now?" she finally asked, earning a smile from the officer who had taken her statement. "Your father will be sued for attempted murder in two cases, as well as for the manipulations he made on your cars. He probably will go to prison for a loooong time." Haruka nodded and stood up, saying her goodbye to the police officer and left the room, meeting Hitomi outside. "How was it?" the elder woman asked, and Haruka gave her a small smile. "It went fine. They'll send him to prison." Hitomi gave a look of approval, and the two women left the police station. Before Haruka got into her car, she looked up to the windows where the suspects where kept in remand. "Bye bye, Daddy." The blonde softly spoke, then climbed into the car and drove off, leaving the police station and her father behind.
