Chapter 8: Accusations

Finally, after a pretty long time, Michiru had calmed down enough to speak without bursting into sobs again. Slowly, the aqua haired girl sat back up, moving out of Harukas embrace in the process. "You okay now?" the blonde asked, her voice filled with worry. Michiru nodded before letting out a small sigh. "I still can't believe that he lied to me all those years…that bastard!" Haruka gaped at the last word, not knowing that the normally calm Michiru was able to use such words. "Don't tell me, tell him." The blonde replied, a slight smirk on your face. Michiru nodded, a determined look on her face. "Believe me, I will…I'm so sorry for what he did to you." The last few words were spoken so soft that Haruka almost overheard them. Gently, the Yakuza boss put one hand on the smaller woman's shoulder. "It's not your fault…you had nothing to do with it." "Still…" Michiru replied, biting her lip. "He had no right to do that." Haruka nodded, her eyes filling with sadness once more. This time, she shrugged it off though and stood up, her shoulder hurting for a second when she did. The blonde grimaced and reached up to ease the pain, Michiru of course noticing this. "That's another thing I'm sorry for." The aqua haired girl spoke, her eyes fixated on the floor. Haruka gave her another slight grin and shook her head. "No need to be…it impressed me." Michiru just opened her mouth to reply something when Harukas cell phone rang. The blonde frowned and started to dig through her pockets, until she found the object of desire and answered the call. "Yes?" "Give my girl back." David demanded on the other end of the line, his voice shaking with held-back anger. "Or face the consequences." "Nice to hear of you too, David." Haruka replied sarcastically, Michirus eyes widening at the mention of her boyfriend. She jumped up from the bed, earning a surprised look from Haruka as she did, and started to gesture wildly, obviously wanting to talk to David. Haruka grinned and nodded slightly before she spoke: "Hold on, Westwood. There's someone who wants to talk to you." With that, she handed the phone over to Michiru, who took it and held it to her ear. "Hello?" David asked, hope filling his voice. "Hey David." Michiru replied, hoping that she didn't sound too cold. "Are you okay?" David now asked, the hope being replaced with worry. "Did Tenoh hurt you?" "No." Michiru replied, while Haruka leaned against the desk, raising her eyebrow. "Haruka didn't hurt me, but you did." Michiru now accused her boyfriend, who was silent for a few seconds before he asked: "What do you mean, I hurt you?" "You lied to me!" Michiru cried out, her hands suddenly shaking. "All the years, you never told me that you're  a Yakuza boss! You had me believe that your company is just a regular one, and now I have to hear from Haruka what you really do! You two-faced bastard!" "Michiru…Michiru please calm down!" David desperately spoke, not really wanting to discuss this over the phone. "We shouldn't talk about that on the phone!" "I shouldn't talk to you at all!" Michiru shouted back, having herself worked in a frenzy now. Haruka, who still stood leaning against the desk, started to grin broadly. "And you should be ashamed for what you did to Haruka!" Michiru now added, her voice nearly breaking from all the anger that filled it. "For what I did to…she told you about her girlfriend huh?" David demanded to know, rubbing his eyes with one hand. "Yes she did! And you had no right to do this! Imagine how you would feel if she killed me!" Michiru shot back, while Haruka gave her an odd look and shook her head. "Calm down now!" David yelled at her, his control finally vanishing. "You think I want her to kill you? That's what she will do if I don't get you out of there! So stop being mad at me now and try to think up a way how to escape!" Instead of replying to that, Michiru simply hung up and gave the phone back to Haruka. The blonde put it back into the pocket of her jacket and gave her captive a concerned look. "You okay?" she finally asked. Michiru let out a small sigh and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine…I just wish that he would have apologized to me. He just shrugged it off." Haruka took one step closer to her and put one hand on her shoulder. "That bastard." The blonde pressed out between clenched teeth. "He should be thankful that you are willing to be his girlfriend, instead, he treats you like that…" Michiru looked up at her, her lower lip quivering. "You never treated your girlfriend that way, right?" she then asked, her eyes filling with tears once more. Haruka shook her head before she answered: "No. She knew from the beginning what my profession was…and she didn't care. And it was my way to earn money that killed her." "Did you…did you ever find out why he killed her?" Michiru softly asked, her gaze locking with Harukas while the blonde replied. "Yes…he killed her because I ruined a deal he wanted to make. I guess this was his way to have revenge…" The Yakuza boss looked away and swallowed heavily. Michiru took one step closer to the taller woman and suddenly pulled her into a gentle hug. "It will be okay." She whispered into Harukas ear, who squeezed her eyes shut. "You'll find someone else to love…and it will be ok." Haruka just nodded, finally letting her tears fall once more – and allowing the aqua haired girl to comfort her as much as possible.
