Note: I know I've got a horrid habit of super short chapters. I do apologize about that. I try not to put too much into one chapter, and I feel that short chapters keep people coming back again and again and again just to see what happens next. And I think that long drawn out chapters turn people away. So..to keep with tradition, please enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 5

"Dearest Michiru,

"I've never beengood at expressing my feelings. Even with written words. My dad recommended that I write a letter. Don't worry, I didn't tell her I was writing it to you. She'd kill me.

"I know we'd always hated each other when we first met, I think that we fought because we were so alike. I know now that I fought with you to hide my true feelings.

"I'll understand if you never talk to me again. But, on the other hand, I'm praying you'll love me too. Because that's the purpose of this letter Michi, I think I'm in love with you."

After she was satisfied with the letter, she signed it and folded it up, then slid it into a plain white envelope. Her hand was shaking as she wrote Michiru on the envelope's face.

Quietly she stood and headed inside. 'Good, she's in the kitchen helping Aiko with lunch.' She paused long enough to allow her eyes to travel over Michiru's behind. 'She's so hot. No. Not now, you can admire later Haruka.' She hurried up the steps.

Before she set the letter down, she pulled a dark blue duffel bag from under her bed. 'No going back now Ruka." She sat the letter on Michiru's bed, right at the bottom of her pillow, then hurried downstairs. "I'm going to the gym, I'll be back later."

Michiru looked up at her, with what appeared to be hurt on her face. "You're not staying for lunch?"

"Not today Michiru." she smiled at her and wend out the door to her car.


I tried to add in some strikethroughs and cross outs in the letter part, to add to the effect, but wouldn't upload the file with the strike throughs in it, and it won't let me edit it to add the html code for it sigh sorry guys.
