Ayla: -,- no problem.
Me: Now On with the fic!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Last We Left Off: "This must be Hell for Haru-chan" she told the other girls after explaining what had happened, "To be engaged to someone you love so dearly, only to have them taken away from you that same night."
That day, the friends had made a pact. Each one of them promised to be there for their distressed friend, and to support her through everything.
~*~
"Haruka's personal Hell." Kaori sighed, gazing at a picture of the tomboy in the high school yearbook. She looked as if she was ready to attack anyone, no matter who it was. Kaori sighed again, tracing the face with her finger, remembering what Elza had told her.
"She's unbeatable on the track!" she told the young girl, "Nobody can catch her. it's like she's the wind. wild and out of reach."
"Haruka-kun." Kaori whispered, ". even though I know that I can't replace her. Onegai. let me be a part of your heart."
That day Kaori made a promise to herself. She would do her best to make Haruka happy, no matter what.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
During Haruka's junior year, she was still as cold as ever to everyone, but she couldn't seem to remember why. The only person she wasn't mean to was her girlfriend Kaori.
Haruka sighed as she sat back in her car, sighing as the wind played with her hair. She knew that she was forgetting something important, but she couldn't seem to recall what it was.
"Maybe it has something to do with this ring." she whispered, gazing at the ring on her left middle finger. Shrugging, she stared out into the bright blue sky, listening to the birds and sea. "The sea." she whispered again, ". why does it always calm me like the wind.?"
"Ruka-chan!" a melodic voice called out, and Haruka smiled.
"Hai Sunshine?" she replied, sitting up and looking down to the girl on the beach.
"Come on down! Come take a walk with me!" she called back, waving her arm in the air. Smiling again, Haruka climbed out of her car, heading towards her bubbly girlfriend.
"Kaori-chan." Haruka whispered as the younger girl hugged her.
"Hai? What is it Ruka-chan?" she asked, her brown eyes locking with sparkling emerald.
"Nothing." Haruka shook her head, ". just thinking, that's all."
"Do you remember anything?" Kaori asked. "That accident last year."
"Iie, I don't seem to remember anything before the accident" Haruka replied. Kaori hugged her tighter.
"I was so scared Ruka-chan. finding out that you were side-swiped by some drunkard while you were driving." she whispered tearfully. Haruka hugged her tighter.
The past year Haruka had gotten her license. One unfortunate evening, while she was driving home, a drunken male who ran the red light sideswiped Haruka's car. The accident had left Haruka unharmed, but unable to remember anything about her past. Slowly, she began regaining her memories: Memories of her childhood, her friends, her mother, and Isamu-san. But she didn't remember anything about Michiru.
"Daijobu Sunshine. I'm alright now." Haruka whispered, kissing Kaori on the forehead.
"What do you remember Ruka-chan?" she whispered.
"I remember that someone very important to me had given me this ring, but I can't seem to remember who." she replied, brows furrowing in concentration. "I think it's the same person that Isamu-san said I had given my old violin to."
"I'm pretty sure it is, Ruka-chan, but it's best not to think about it too much. It'll come to you, don't worry." Leaning upwards, Kaori captured Haruka's lips with her own.
~*~ Michiru sighed as she gazed at the ring on her finger. Smiling softly, she closed her blue eyes as the breeze wafted over her.
"The wind always seems to calm me." she whispered, ". just like the sea." sighing again, Michiru finished painting the landscape about her. It looked just like a photograph, and Michiru signed her name in the right corner. Standing up, she left the painting in a secure place to dry, and wandered the halls of the mansion she and her mother lived in.
She had grown into a beautiful girl of fourteen years. Her body had matured nicely, and her hair grew to her waist more than once, but she kept it shoulder-length. The only problem that she had was that she didn't get a nice boyfriend, her mother had complained more than once.
"Michiru-chan! Sarah's here to see you!" her mother called from downstairs. Michiru walked downstairs, smiling as she caught sight of her friend.
Sarah was a brunette, and had sparkling garnet eyes.
"Hey Michiru!" Sarah said, smiling at her friend.
"Sarah. It's nice to see you." Michiru smiled her polite smile, and Sarah chuckled.
"Always so polite!" she laughed, "No wonder almost every boy at school wants to date you!"
"Speaking of which. Charles called while you were out earlier Michiru" Sakura said to her daughter, "He was wondering if you would like to join him for dinner on Friday."
Michiru sighed in annoyance, shaking her head, "I'd rather not actually. I have other plans for Friday" she replied, glancing toward Sarah to make sure she got the message.
"Yeah, we're going to the movies!" Sarah said, grinning.
"Just the two of you?" Sakura asked, looking curiously at her daughter.
"No. Janie, Nikki, and Christie are coming with us" Sarah replied, wondering why Sakura would ask such a question.
"Okay, because I don't want you two getting hurt, that's all." Sakura said. Michiru's eyes flashed a moment, and Sarah had nodded in understanding.
A year after the Kaioh family had first moved to Washington, Michiru had been hit with some debris from an old collapsing building. Fortunately, someone had found her, but she suffered from amnesia because of it. She had slowly begun to regain her memories, but some things were still a blur to her. For example, she could not remember anything from sixth or seventh grade, nor could she remember the person who had given her the violin she kept, or the ring that she always wore.
"Well, let's not dwell on things in the past" Michiru stated, smiling, "How about we get going now Sarah?" she turned to her friend, leaving the house.
Once they left, Michiru smiled again, wistfully.
"Have you remembered anything else Michiru?" her friend asked.
"Iie, but I hope that I will. Whoever gave me this ring was an important person. I just know it." she replied, gazing into the beautiful aquamarine gem.
Sarah smiled, patting her friend on the shoulder. "Don't worry Michiru!" she grinned a roughish grin, "It'll come to you someday!"
"I hope so Sarah-chan." Michiru whispered, "I hope so."
~* Present Day, at Haruka's Party*~
Slowly, Michiru and Haruka broke their kiss, panting lightly. Staring deeply into each other's eyes, Michiru felt the tears threaten to fall.
"R-Ruka-chan?" she whispered, looking into eyes she knew all to well. Haruka smiled back, her own tears barely being contained.
"Michi-chan." she whispered.
They never noticed the audience around them. All the two women saw was the other.
"Oh Ruka!" Michiru gasped, burying her face into a strong shoulder. Haruka smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks, as she hugged the girl of her dreams, and the only love of her life.
On the stairs, Kaori smiled tearfully as two soul mates were reunited.
"Take care of her Michiru. because if you don't. I'll come after you." she whispered.
"Agent 9?" a voice asked from her communicator. "Agent 9, please respond!"
"Agent 9 here" Kaori replied, looking onto the reunion with a happy smile.
"Agent 9, your new orders are to intervene" the voice was cut off as Kaori pulled the communicator out of her ear.
"Tell your commander that Agent 9 has resigned, and shall not participate in this operation any longer" she whispered.
"Agent 9!" the voice yelled before there was only static. Kaori crushed the communicator under her foot, and smiled at the happy couple downstairs.
"I'm glad that you found your true love Haruka-chan." Kaori said, coming down the stairs.
"K-Kaori-chan!" Haruka gasped, remembering that she was in fact dating another girl.
"Don't worry Haruka-chan. I knew all along that your heart belonged to Michiru-san" Kaori stopped all of Haruka's protests with a wave of her hand. "I'm just glad for the past year. I'll never forget any of those moments" she turned her gaze to Michiru, smiling her trademark Sunshine smile. "You'd better take care of her. We don't need Haruka walking around here like a zombie again! Or being as mean as she was when you left!" Kaori giggled. "I have to get going now minna. I have to be home soon, so I'll see you all later! Ja ne!" Kaori said, and left.
"Kaori." Haruka whispered, still feeling guilty.
"Don't worry Haruka-san" Makoto piped up. "She knew what she was getting herself into. She knew that you would remember everything sooner or later." Nods of agreement followed the agreement.
"Okay. If you say so." Haruka smiled, looking down to the young girl in her arms. Grinning she leaned down close to her ear. "Now, was I right in saying you'd be drop dead gorgeous in a year and a half?" Haruka teased, earning a giggle from Michiru.
"I guess you were right." Michiru smiled again, for once-in a long time- happy.
"Demo. I have one question." Haruka looked towards Sakura. "Why did you leave in the first place if you're.?" Haruka's question trailed off.
Kei sighed, and looked towards her lover. "Well Haruka that would be because of me, actually." Kei answered truthfully.
"You, okaa-san?" Haruka asked.
"Yeah, because."
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
My oh my! Kei's got a dark secret! Wonder what it is?
