Disclaimer: Haruka and Michiru do not belong to me, they belong to Naoko-sama and etc..

Michiru hadn't been sure how she'd made it through the day, or the week for that matter, she hadn't saw or spoken to Haruka since.

Had Haruka been avoiding her? Or was it the other way around? She'd been so unsure where to go from there, she wasn't sure how to face Haruka and on top of it she didn't want to put such a large burden on top of her shoulders.

Michiru frowned and started to place her violin back in inside it's case then she stood up and proceeded towards the exit of the multi purpose room when she heard someone call her name. "Kaiou Michiru-san!" Michiru stopped and turned to see her orchestra conductor hurry over towards her "Eh? Hai, Arishima-sensei?" "Well I'd like to speak with you, Kaiou-san, follow me." Arishima instructed and led her towards the back of the large room until most of the students had left "Well, you are no doubt top violinist in the school, as well as in the entire city of Tokyo, when you play your violin, you put everyone in complete awe, and well there is a cruise coming up in about three weeks, and seeing you are our lead violinist, I'd like to give you the chance to play for the tourists of Japan, You'd be representing our school."

Michiru's eyes widen as she let her conductor continue "The trip is three days and two nights, all your expenses will be paid, that is if you decide to go, the decision is totally up to you." Arishima handed her some sheets of paper which included all the information regarding the cruise "I know you have a busy schedule but I hope you will consider the offer." Michiru slowly took the forms and went over them quickly

"Anyway, I won't rush you, I'll give you some time, but please consider my request." he said hopefully as Michiru clutched the papers to her chest and smiled up at him "Domo Arigatou, for this opportunity, Arishima-sensei." Michiru said with a bow

Arishima pulled a card from his jacket pocket and handed it to Michiru "Well, when you decide, you can reach me at this number, I'll see you next week, Sayonara, Kaiou-san." he replied with a bow Michiru smiled "Sayonara, Arishima-sensei." she said gratefully before retreating towards the exit.

That night, Michiru sat on her bed holding the card Arishima had given her. 'I guess there wouldn't really be a reason for me not to go, the city has been youma free for awhile, it could be fun and different from the usual routine.' she thought to herself as she read over the numbers for about the hundredth time

'I suppose it would be alright, it's only for a couple of days, it would be nice to get out for awhile.' Michiru reassured herself with a half smile then flopped onto her bed and stared aimlessly at the ceiling

Haruka had been lounging in her bath going over a magazine, her past week had been close to awful. Her nightmares had gotten worse. The images became a lot more clear and she had been falling asleep in class without even realizing it, even her daydreams were now corrupted by the horrifying images of destruction and the terrifying screams of society, and the strangest thing was everything became even more distinct the day after she met 'her'. 'Kaiou Michiru was it? was what Elza had introduced her as?' she thought aloud 'Where have I heard that name before?'

She felt like she knew her somehow, like she was a part of this whole thing to begin with, that would explain why she seemed to know about her so well. Did Michiru truly know what was going on deep within her? Could she help her come to terms with what ever it was that had been going on inside of her? A part of her truly wanted to reach out to Michiru for help, but the other part of her forbid it, it was the part of her that feared the terrifying truth that she would uncover, the truth that would soon change her life entirely.

Haruka had picked up the magazine from a local market that had the headline 'Kaiou Michiru Local Violinist' on the front Perhaps that was where she had recognized Michiru before, no, It had to be more than that, she felt a connection to her some how, like she knew her from a past life. 'No, that's crazy.' she scolded herself shaking her head as she held the magazine that had the article about Michiru 'There's no such thing, besides, I probably just remember her from overhearing the highlights of the news or something'. Haruka tried to reassure herself, but part of her knew full well that she was putting herself in denial Otherwise, why would she have bought the magazine? Who was Michiru really? Outside of being a violinist?

So many emotions stirred inside of Haruka, she wasn't sure what they meant. She closed her eyes.

Please do not ask me where it is that I came from...Please do not touch this wound that I have...

She knew now that the repetition of these nightmares got a great deal worse, and knowing that they grew worse right after meeting Michiru, it was no coincidence. Each time the visions came, they became clearer and more distinct, she saw herself and two other figures, one with long dark greenish hair and one she could make out with shoulder length aqua hair, could it have been Michiru? And who was the other one? She felt a great deal of solitude when she indulged in the vision. She could see from afar a large palace being destroyed, but the vision its self was vague.

Please do not stop any more than that...Even now the dreams put to sleep inside my heart clamor like a storm...

In all directions, were screams of terror, they drowned out every imaginable sound, and just then everything went dark, the sound of nothingness filled the atmosphere. Haruka opened her eyes coming back into reality where she currently was, the bathtub water was now freezing cold. How long had she been asleep? She thought to herself as She sat up realizing the magazine she had been reading had fallen into the water when she dozed off. "Damn it." she groaned as she pulled out the now very drenched, soaked and discolored pages of the magazine

Haruka grabbed her towel off the rack and put it around herself then put her hand on her head and her other hand on the wall to keep herself from falling as she received a head rush. Moments later the head rush had passed and she threw the now worthless magazine to the side, then drained the tub. She stepped out of the tub slowly and leaned against the wall "What is the meaning of all of this?" she wondered aloud

A few days later, Michiru had finally made up her mind about going on the cruise. She picked up the business card Arishima had given her then picked up the phone and dialed the number on the card and waited for the other end to pick up.

"Moshi, Moshi?" came the other end of the phone

"This is Kaiou Michiru...is this Arishima-sensei?"

"Hai, I've been waiting to hear from you, Kaiou-san, have you made up your decision?"

"Hai, I've decided to go." Michiru replied

"I'm glad to hear it, I'll make the preparations, and phone calls tonight, and I'll get the tickets to you tomorrow after class." Arishima exclaimed happily

"Domo Arigatou, sensei." Michiru smiled

"You're very welcome, Kaiou-san, see you tomorrow, sayonara."

"Sayonara." Michiru replied holding the phone to her ear until she heard him hang up, then placed the phone back in it's place and leaned against her dresser then turned back towards the phone and decided to call Katana and Elza

Haruka had decided to pick up another magazine since her other one was now ruined. To her disappointment, all those other magazines had been sold. She bought the recent magazine anyway, and decided to skim the pages to look for some sort of retreat for relaxation if it could be helped. She stopped skimming until an article about a cruise caught her eye and she picked up the phone then dialed the number.

Hehe, what's going to happen next?. To be continued...
