Chapter 1 ~ The Dreams
"I'm leaving you. I've found someone else," spoke Haruka to a shocked Michiru. Michiru couldn't believe her ears. Haruka loved her. Why was she going to leave her? "Haruka..." was all Michiru could get out. Tears filled her eyes as she watched Haruka walk away from her. "Haruka please wait!" she screamed and tried to chase after her. Haruka seemed to have dissapeared. Her voice could still be heard. "I don't love you anymore Michiru," it said. Michiru dropped to her knees and cried. It felt like her heart was breaking. She was alone, with no one else now. She screamed out, in pain.
With that, Michiru sat straight up in her bed, clenching her chest. She was breathing heavily and covered in sweat. She had been having these nightmares for a few days now. Haruka sat up, knowing her love was not in her arms again. Haruka had always been sensitive to the touch of Michiru. "Michiru, what's wrong?" she asked, worried. It was not like Michiru to wake up and be out of breath. Michiru regained her breath and spoke. "I'm fine. Just a nightmare," she replied, calming down. Haruka wasn't convinced. "Are you sure?" she asked, taking Michiru into her arms and holding her close. Michiru nodded and rested her head upon Haruka's shoulder. Haruka held her a bit tighter than normal, feeling Michiru needed it. Michiru clung to the back of Haruka's shirt, as if scared of something.
This bothered Haruka more. Michiru was not one to be scared. She was always calm and never paniced. She looked down at her love. She could see the fear in her eyes, but did not question it. Michiru had been through enough just from the nightmare. Asking about it would only upset her more. Haruka lied back down and pulled Michiru down with her, holding her just like before. Michiru fell asleep again and Haruka watched her. She thought about how Michiru had been the past few days.
For the past few days Michiru had seemed very distant. It was as if physically she was there, but her mind was elsewhere. Once in that time Haruka had wondered if Michiru had found another. This thought terrified Haruka. Michiru was everything to her. She knew from Michiru clinging to her that there was no other. She had seen fear in her eyes a few times the previous few days. She asked her about it once but Michiru just told her nothing was wrong. Tomorrow she would make Michiru feel better. She knew exactly what to do. With her plan set, she fell asleep till morning.
When morning came, Michiru was not in the bed. This sent Haruka into a panic. How had she not even felt her get up? She sat straight up and looked around. She lept out of the bed and looked around, and then spotted Michiru. She was standing on the balcony to their bedroom. Haruka let out a sigh of releaf and walked out onto the balcony, wrapping her arms around Michiru's waist from behind, holding her close. Michiru smiled and leaned back against Haruka. "Good morning, my wind chaser," Michiru said sweetly. Haruka smiled at Michiru's nickname for her and kissed her cheek. "Good morning, my water dancer," she replied.
After a moment of silence, Haruka asked, "How are you feeling? Better?" Michiru nodded and smiled. "It was just a nightmare," she replied, her eyes fixated on the view before her. Haruka kissed her neck gently and continued to speak in between kisses. "It must have been pretty bad to scare you like that," she said. Michiru giggled from the kisses, trying to hide her fear as best as she could. "I'm alright now," she said, smiling her sweet smile. Haruka turned Michiru to face her and smiled. "I'm glad. I have a big surprise for you," Haruka said smiling down at her. Michiru blinked, puzzled. "A surprise? For me?" she asked. Haruka nodded and picked Michiru up in her arms, carrying her back into their bedroom.
