CHAPTER 4
"Why, we meet again, my dear Michi!" Larry bellowed. "What ever happened last night, when you ran off with that blond?" Larry shook his head. "I hope he's not your new boyfriend. He's not right for you, dear. He had a sort of shifty look about him..." Larry sighed, then smiled. "Well, don't let it bother you, dear. You're in good hands now."
As he'd been saying this, he'd been slowly advancing towards Michiru, forcing her to back into a stone wall. She jumped as her back hit into the cold, damp stone. She couldn't escape...
Larry leaned in closer, obviously attempting to kiss Michiru. Michiru turned her face away. How was she going to get out of here? She looked around wildly, wondering if she should scream for help.
But suddenly she couldn't speak, for Larry's mouth was clamped around her own. She wriggled in his grasp. She couldn't take one more second of this. She lashed out and slapped him across the face as hard as she could. Larry stepped away in shock and pain, and Michiru took her chance- and ran.
She disappeared into the gardens, already out of breath... but she had to get away. Suddenly she slipped on the damp path and hit the ground- hard. All the wind was knocked out of her. She didn't bother to get up; she just lay there, gasping for breath, tears streaking down her face.
It seemed as if she'd been lying there for an eternity, but in real life it had only been about a minute, when she became aware that someone was nearby. She sat up, embarrassed. She looked a mess.
"M...Michiru?"
She knew that voice. It sounded soft and comforting and she was only too willing to surrender to its warmth. She couldn't help it; she burst into tears all over again. She felt like an absolute baby but she couldn't stop the sobbing once it had started.
"Come on. Let's get out of here." A hand reached down to help her up and Michiru grasped it gratefully. She was pulled to her feet, and she brushed herself off a bit before following Haruka further into the gardens.
