Chapter 4: Black Cat
The next morning Michiru left the house early while Haruka was out jogging, she needed some air, and to talk to someone, she stayed up all night crying her eyes out.
She was walking down the street when a black cat crossed in front of her and 30 seconds later one of her heels got clogged up and broke. "So bad omens keep coming, and my luck keeps getting worst, when I'm going to see the light?" Looking as cool as possible Michiru bare her feet and arrived a few minutes later to Setsuna's apartment.
"Good god, why are you walking bare footed in this weather? You do know it's bad luck?"
"My heel broke, I'm sorry"
"Come inside, is everything alright? It's early "
"I need to talk to you"
"Let me fix some tea"
Michiru told Setsuna what had happened the night before, Setsuna was looking at Michiru with misbelieve. "Are you for real?"
"Yes"
"But what did Haruka said, perhaps you misunderstood …"
"No misunderstood, I asked her, and she didn't deny it"
"She told you what happened?"
"No and I don't need to hear the gory details" Michiru began crying again, how can her perfect life got ruined in such a short time?
Setsuna hold her and let her calm down before talking again. "What are you going to do?"
"I…I don't know yet"
"Don't made rush decisions Michiru, you may regret it"
"I know….. I just wished this was some kind of joke…"
Michiru came back home late in the afternoon, the house was quiet. Michiru entered the kitchen where Shishi was watching TV. "Miss, it's so good you're back"
"Did Haruka went out Shi?"
"No Miss, Mr. Tenoh has been all day in the house, in the living room…." Shishi was silent but clearly she had a lot more to say.
"Is she ok?"
"As ok as you can be after having a lot of booze"
"Is she drunk?"
"Very and in a bad mood"
"Just what was missing" "I'll go talk to her, you can go to rest now.
"Ok Miss"
Michiru entered the living room to find Haruka leaning in the couch, for a moment she thought she was sleeping but when she entered Haruka try to stand up.
"Michiru…I though …."
"Haruka, we need to talk" The lights where off, they were standing in a dusky half light. Haruka was crushed, all day long she had been longing Michiru, she even thought Michiru had gone for good.
"Michiru, I… I didn't mean to hurt you, I….I was so drunk and…Michi please…"
"Haruka. Please listen to me" Michiru was calmed but cold, she felt betrayed. "I don't want to know why you did it, it happened and it won't go away. I…I always believed that all our actions happen for a reason…"
"But, but I didn't wanted to cheat on you, you must believe me"
Michiru was not giving up." Please let me finish. I know you love me, and that this 'situation' was probably not your intention, but I believe that this happened for a reason, maybe this was a warning… I don't know. I'm confused and I need to take some time off, I'm going out of town , I …I wanted us to have some vacations together, I'm offering a concert in London next week, but in light of what had happened… I'm going alone, I'll be out a week, I need time to think…."
"Michi I love you"
Michiru's voice tremble, she was crying softly. "Haruka, love isn't what's missing here, let me give you some advise, use this time to think about us too, perhaps your subconscious is telling you I'm not the one, we have nothing in common, I've thought of this before and every time I told myself that love was going to keep us together, but…but…"
Haruka felt tears falling down her shirt she was crying to, she simply wanted to hold Michiru and this nightmare to end finally.
"But I don't know if love can survive this."
Michiru get near Haruka and whipped Haruka tears with her hand, she loved Haruka so much but she had simply betrayed her, she was deadly wounded. Haruka touched Michiru's hand with her own. Their silhouettes where lighten up with the last rays of daylight.
"I love you Michiru"
Michiru couldn't stand Haruka's touch, and back up a few steps. "Clean yourself up… I hate to see you drunk"
"Michiru, I love you "
Michiru stared at Haruka, she loved her but part of her wanted Haruka to suffer as much as she was. "I know" "I love you too Haruka but I'm not going to tell you again…at list for now." Michiru left Haruka how was now feeling worst than ever.
"Please Michiru, forgive me"
