Chapter 23: The Race
(Ok let's see: on the latest chapter Haruka was unable to talk to Michiru and get her back, Michiru fled the New Years party and they are just a few hours left for the big race…)
Michiru step out of the car and face the crude winter, the ocean's song touched her, she stand on the beach for many, many hours, she wanted to see the sunrise here near the soothing sea, she let the cold slashed her face, she just wanted to melt with the ocean to became his child once more….
Haruka stand outside Setsuna's apartment for the rest of the night, Michiru never showed up, if she had, she'll have seen a defeated Haruka, finally Haruka stand up and drove to the tracks the race was supposed to be held in 20 minutes.
Michiru stepped out of the car still wearing her cocktail dress, Kay, Kiki, Thomas and Takeshi where already there.
"Hi"
"Why are you still wearing that? Where's Haruka?"
"Haruka? I haven't seen her since yesterday…. And well I'm about to get changed, where's Iñaki?"
"Oh well he's inside the car"
"Ok, I'll get changed."
---------------o---------------------o----------------
"Obviously they haven't spoke, we should let them solve their issues alone"
"That's for you Kiki"
"Shut up, I'm not messing anything again"
"Shhh here comes Michiru"
"So has Tundra arrived?"
"No, but we have a bigger problem"
"What?"
"Iñaki"
"You said he was inside the car"
"Yeah …. He's inside crying like a baby and he handcuffed himself to the car"
"What?"
"Well he's very fond of his car"
Michiru stand next to the Ferrari and began smashing the door. "Open up!"
Iñaki was actually handcuffed to the stirring wheel. "I'm sorry Michi I can't lend you my car"
"What do you mean by that? The race is in 15 freaking minutes!"
"I'm so sorry but I love him so much!"
"Oh you're such a baby I'm not crashing your stupid car, get out of there now or I'll kick you!"
Tundra stepped out of her car looking a little drunk; she was also still dressed for partying. "Ready Kaioh?"
Michiru looked cool but she was freaked. "Of course I'll wait for you to get changed"
"Fine"
"Michiru stands a bigger chance to win, Tundra seems hanged over"
"That's of course if she can get Iñaki out of that car!"
"Oh don't laugh, this is serious….. Iñaki be a man and step out of that car!"
Iñaki was crying so hard Michiru felt embarrassed. "What I'm going to do?"
"Hey Michiru!"
Michiru turned around and catch a set of keys, Haruka was the one who thrown them.
"What's this?"
"Use my car"
"Are you sure?" Haruka stand close to her, she was still handsome in the tux even though she had worn it all night long.
"Yes, my car is faster than the Ferrari and I'm not handcuffing myself to it."
"Thank you"
"I was wondering if we can talk after the race"
"Sure." Michiru kissed Haruka on the cheeks just at the same time Tundra step out of the dressing rooms.
"Agh, not before breakfast please…. Ready?"
"Yes"
"Is Iñaki getting out of the car or are you both racing?"
"I'm using Haruka's car"
"Really? How nice, then lets go" Tundra's eyes flashed in anger. "Let's see how your car ends Tenoh"
Michiru step in the car and for a moment consider quiting, "why I'm doing this, again?" Haruka knocked on the window.
"Here, have this…" Haruka handed her a small red silk bag.
"What's this?"
"Is for good luck"
"You don't believe in luck"
"But you do, don't open it ok?"
"Ok."
"One more thing, relax, the most important part of the race is the start you must focus in the green light, get a deep breath, you'll know when to start, whatever happens put your security first and then winning ok?"
"Thank you"
"Go win! I'll be waiting for you in the finish line"
Michiru placed the car on the starting line, she was trembling, she felt her hands icy and her heart bit fast.
"One lap, winner takes it all ok?"
Michiru nodded, she took a deep breath just as Haruka told her. "Just one lap…. Breath…breath…" The next few seconds lasted an eternity Michiru focus and she was sure she could hear Haruka speaking to her like in a soft breeze. "Relax….now Go!"
Michiru stepped the pedal and the race started….
"Wow she managed to start just when the light when green!"
"She can win! Michiru!"
Tundra was driving with no pressure, she was sure she was going to win, the reality was that Michiru could drive ok but no at a racer level, Tundra though she could win with great advantage but then she decided to have some fun…
"What's she doing?"
"She's, she's trying to take Michiru out of the circuit!"
Tundraslow down and forced Michiru to switch lane, she was making her car get closer to Michiru's to force her to smash against the contention walls. Michiru was too scared, she was loosing control of the car and she was unable to break. Tundra decided she played enough and turn back to the race but it was too late, Michiru lost control of the car and crashed….
"Michiru!"
Michiru didn't saw all her life passing by she just see Haruka, all the love she had ever wanted and had, Haruka, just Haruka , she managed to call her name once before everything went dark….
"Call an Ambulance!" Haruka screamed hard and began running towards the car, before anyone could react she was already there trying to take Michiru out of the car. The vision of blood make her loose her mind, she was crying a river.
"Michiru! Michiru! Call an ambulance! Michiru please please….!"
