Strip Tease By: Aqua Dream Heart

Chapter 2: "Cherry Bomb"


There was heavy breathing, blurs and rapid, incoherant pictures. Haruka, surprisingly to be the only one not badly hurt, looked around, hoping to see some kind of movement. Still. Still. Smoke. Smoke and coughing. Breathing. Yes, now there was breathing. Crowds of passerbys came over and looked though the black-tinted windows, they knocked, clamped, screamed, anything to get the Outer's attention.

"We're okay!! Stop screaming, please!!!" Haruka alarmed them, catching he breath.

The people still stayed glued to the windows of the car, not even hearing Haruka. Haruka looked back at her love, Michiru. Trying to avoid them, after catching her breath, and without a second of thinking, she went back and tried to wake her up.

"Michiru!! Michi!! Wake up!!" Haruka preached. She didn't move. "Michiru!!! My god..."

"Numm..num..uhhm..ow.."

"Who was that???" Haruka panicked.

"Me..." Chibi-usa startled.

'Oh no...' Haruka said in her mind.

"Is everyone okay?" Chibi-usa said.

"How could you even ask that?! We're in a car accident! They're not even breathing!" Haruka looked down at Setsuna and Michiru nervously.

"I..I.. " Chibi-usa was horrified.

Thinking quickly, Haruka placed her tender lips on Michiru's, and bgean injecting air into her lungs.

"Do the same for Setsuna-chan! Hurry!" Haruka rolled down a window and told random people to call for an ambulence. A small boy with thin black hair listened to Haruka's orders.

"An ambulence is on it's way." The boy said to Haruk after 10 minutes of waiting.

The day was getting darker. Soon a red and white object came racing down the road with sirens blarring. Communication was short, Michiru and Setsuna were placed roughly on two chalk white rolling bedding carts, and pushed up into the ambulence. Haruka held one hand cupped over mouth, the other on her heart, wishing everything would be okay. Chibi-usa went over to Haruka and put her arms around her...

The next day, the sun grew hotter... brighter, more bitter. Haruka felt hopeless, not knowing what to do now that Michiru was away. She walked with little Chibi-usa, groaning from all the pain. The house, now her only love? What next?

They left the car there, locked, to protect their items. They certainly weren't going to stay tapped in there with nothing to do but worry. They kept walking the dusty roads. Haruka was dressed in torn jeans and a simple white shirt, Chibi-us in a pink and blue striped summer dress.

Suddenly, they passed a building with loud noises and whistling. Haruka poked her head in. Her eyes lit. A bar.. Haruka was in a desperate need of a drink.

"Chibi-usa, stay right here, do NOT move, I have to get something." Haruka directed.

"Okay.." Chibi-usa agreed, fightened by her decision.

Haruka sat in the bar, ordered a drink, and relaxed. Suddenly a man with a scruffy brown and tattered close walked by Chibi-usa.

"Do you have any spare change, little girl?" the man said in an angry tone.

"No.. no I don't, sir, Sorry." She replied.

"Then maybe you can come with me... and help me find some..."

"Huh?!! HARUUUKKAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
more to come .... a.d.h.
