Chapter7 : Memories, How it began

The door closed, Michiru slowly lighted the entrance. The run from the blonde to home has exhausted her.

Once she went to the living room she felt a cold running through her.

The appartement seemed so icy. Even if it's been months now that she lived alone she still wasn't use to this coldness and the encounter with Haruka just brought back more memories that made the atmosphere colder and bitter.

"We used to come back together...to be together..." Michiru whispered. And without knowing it, tears had made their way down her cheeks.

"Oh...What have I done ?" She cried despairingly and lowered herself to the floor.

Flashback.

"Hey Haruka, wait!" Exclaimed Sasuke who was running from the university entrance to the gate, where Haruka stood waiting him as she heard her name being called.

"Why are you leaving so fast? We used to wait one another…" Asked Sasuke out of breath.

"Sorry Sasuke, I have to check if all my belongings have been safely moved." Replied Haruka. She then turned around and kept walking towards the parking lot.

"Oh...then I will see you tomorrow!" Said the black haired guy while wavering goodbyes at his friend.

"Yep, ja..." She wavered back and soon disapeared into the parking lot.

Sasuke wondered to himself as he watched Haruka faded away in her car. "I hope we will be in the same group... Hmm I think I saw Michiru-san too during the meeting I hope she took the same options as us, it will be nice to be with people we already know...".

Not far from the university, big trucks were leaving a residential building where they had delivered furnitures and tons of cartons. As Haruka passed them in the opposite direction she wondered why there was so many trucks.

'maybe father...' She thought and then speeded away to verify if everything was ready.

As the girl stood in front of the building, thoughts where running through her mind. 'Well it's different from home, I hope it will be okay...I wondered what kinds of neighbours I will have...' She then walked to the entrance and made her way to her new home.

Haruka parked her car in front of a modern building, took out her sunglasses and read 'La parfaite lumière'.

"Finally I find the right building" Haruka said to herself. She then took her bag and walked to the front door.

"So many boxes... I think I will have to get started to unpack if I want to move in tomorrow." Said the aqua haired girl to herself.

The appartement had two large bedrooms with their own bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen and a vast livingroom. Michiru had decided to move from her parents because she wanted to start a new life on her own, that's said no more maids who woke her up, made her breakfast, helped her get dressed and no more chauffeur who drove her to school and acted as her bodyguard. She wanted to do things by herself she had said to her parents.

And now she was in her new home.

A headband, a large t-shirt and an old jean on her, Michiru began to unpack her things.

As Haruka met with the doorkeeper, she decided to ask about her neighbours. She found out that most of her neighbours were living here for years and just a few of them just moved in. 'Perhaps I can made some new acquaintances' Thought Haruka while taking the lift to the third floor.

Once the lift doors open she was directly facing a large and only entry from what she could see. Haruka slided her card into the socket and saw the red led turned green.

She opened the door and made her way through the boxes to the living room. It was the first time she visited the appartement.

It looked nice.

'Father has good taste, as expected from him' She thought.

'I thought that he might have handed me the key of a poor building just to make me change my mind...I wonder why he has put this condition then…'

However her thought was interrupted as she heard something coming from the other side of the appartement.

'I hope it's not a thief.' She walked in silence along the corridor and stopped when she heard someone's faint voice. She tried to take a look at the intruder but the only thing she could see, from where she was, was their back.

'Thief or not, it's still an intruder' She then ready herself to take hold of the intruder. Without noise she made her way behind the latter, grabbed one of their arms and standed the intruder up against the floor.

"Ahhh...ouch" Haruka heard. 'But it's a girl...'

"What do you think you are doing in my home?" Haruka asked, loosing her grip a little.

"I am the one who have to ask that!" Replied the girl angrily. "Get off of me right now or I will call the police!"

"Oh..." Thinking a moment Haruka released the girl. "I'm really sorry, maybe I have gone to the wrong door, are you okay?" Haruka asked still facing the girl's back.

"I'm okay, you just scared me a little and…" She turned around to have a look at her attacker but her voice got caught up.

"Michiru-san?" Said an astonished Haruka first. "You are living here?"

"Ha-Haruka...san? Why are you here?" Was Michiru replied.

"Well... I'm moving here..I mean in this building. However it seems like they've made a mistake with the registration." Haruka stood up and then stretched a hand to help Michiru to get up from the floor. The hold was short but long enough to warm up the aqua haired girl's cheeks. " I'm very sorry for what happened...I never wanted to hurt you." Said Haruka.

"It's okay, I know it wasn't intentional, so you are going to live in this building?" Asked the younger girl still blushing a little.

"Yes my father let me live alone only if I live here, but I never have the chance to visit the appartement before today" She replied.

"What a coincidence, my parents also let me live alone only if I live here ...maybe this building is known for it's security." The aqua haired girl smiled at her own statement, but immediately blushed again when her eyes met the blonde's teal eyes.

Not knowing what to say and unaware of the effect she had on Michiru, Haruka just agreed. "Well maybe..."

"Were you...Hm... going to move in today ?" Questionned Michiru who became more and more nervous at Haruka's presence.

Haruka looked around the room she was in and inspected the view."No...I'm supposed to move in tomorrow, I just wanted to check if all my belongings were here today." She replied nonchalantly while looking out the window.

After a moment of silence, the blonde turned and faced the younger girl."Why have you decided to leave your parents and live by yourself ?"

The question surprised Michiru, she hasn't expected that. She just looked at Haruka. "I.." she started to open her mouth to say something but nothing came out.

She knew she was too nervous. Closing her eyes she let go of the breath she was holding, but as she opened her eyes she was greeted by a smile.

"You know, you're cute when you're confused." Complimented Haruka smiling.

The flattering remark just made Michiru blushed profusely. She didn't know how to hide her blush so she just looked down and remained silent.

"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I was just teasing a little..." Having no response, Haruka walked toward the aqua haired girl and bent a little to look at the poor girl red face. "I'm really sorry ... are you okay?" Asked Haruka cautiously.

Having Haruka so near, just made Michiru helpless. She wanted to say that she was okay but her mind was else where, so the only thing she could do was to nod in agreement.

Haruka took a step back and sighed. "I'm relieved then..."

"Well I think I will have to go now. I came without being invited and I still haven't visited my appartement." She then said as she felt the situation became more and more awkward.

"I think I will see you around. It was a pleasure meeting you." She bowed, glanced a last time at Michiru and then turned to leave. However as she was going to leave the room, Michiru grabbed her arm.

"I'm sorry, I'm just... not really used to be complimented." She wispered her head down, ashamed of her reaction and her lack of self control.

Hearing the soft voice and the hand still gripping her arm, Haruka turned her head and looked at the girl in front of her and smile. 'she is really cute'

Michiru took a long breathe and looked directly in the blonde eyes smiling." You know, my father is the owner of this building, I can call him to get more information about your situation if you want. I think it will be faster. Well if it's okay with you I mean ?" She said sounding a little nervous.

"I would like that, but won't you bothered him in his work ? I don't want to burden you with that."

"No it's alright, I will call him now so you will have an answer immediately." She replied and instantly took out her cellphone from her jean's pocket.

The call was short and the only answer they got, was to wait there. Both of them were surprised since Michiru's father decided to come himself.

As they waited, they spoke about everything and nothing. They just wanted to pass the time. However as the arrival of Michiru's father, they both stood their speechless.

He was accompanied by Haruka's father.

"Father..." Haruka first greeted.

"Hi Haru ! So How do you find the appartement? Nice isn't it." He replied walking towards Haruka and Michiru. "Kaiou-san, nice to see you again."

"Tenou-san" Replied Michiru and bowed courteously.

Michiru's father walked to her and greeted Haruka as well. The blonde bowed deeply and stood beside her father, she found that the situation took a strange turn. Michiru sensed this too and just stayed by her father head down.

Unknown to them everything had been already arranged by their father. They had decided to let their child live alone only if they lived together.

At first Haruka protested, she was aware of the big risk her father took and she didn't want to jeopardize his reputation. She was also aware of the outcome that might occur if she was going to live near the aqua haired girl.

Unlike Haruka, Michiru just accepted the arrangement her father made. She seldom went against her parents wishes because, for her, they only wished the best for their daughter.

The meeting went for a few hours and they all came to an understanding. Haruka and Michiru could live freely but would have to live with one another.

And so their live as roomates began.

For half a year everything went well, the appartement was big enough to procure some privacy and they both went to their parent's house each weekend.

And because the appartement was near the university, Sasuke often gave them a visit and stayed late.

During almost one year the two roomates shared a strong friendship but never wandered near the borders of love.

Haruka was the one who always tried to keep their relation as simple as she could. She knew she was attracted but because of a lot of things she just couldn't let herself fell for the aqua haired girl.

As for Michiru, nervous as she was at the beginning, she just tried her best to feel comfortable around Haruka and after one month she was completely relaxed.

However, the more she was with the blonde the more she fell deeply in love, but as she saw no sign of reciprocity she just tried to repressed her feelings.

Having Haruka as a friend was already a gift for Michiru. She had always imagined Haruka as a Prince Charmant and what she found out was just like what she had expected, caring, kind, helpful, generous, intellectual and most of all charming and handsome.

Michiru made an effort to stay stoical but when you lived near the source of your desire, it only needed a little spark to revive your burning feelings so as the time passed the aqua haired girl only nourished her love to grow more and more passionate without knowing it.

Until one day.

End Flashback.

As her sobs decreased, Michiru recollected herself. She stood up and made her way to the bathroom. Not caring about closing the door, she undressed herself and shivered as her skin made contact with the cold air in the appartement.

" Hope the water will warm me... a little up..." She whispered shivering. As she stood waiting for the bathtub to be filled, Michiru couldn't help but to look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes darken and a sad expression crossed her face.

Slowly she turned her head from the mirror and made her way to the bathtub.

" Baka..." Everytime she saw her reflection she couldn't stand it anymore, the word just escaped her mouth.

Note : I'm sorry for not answering all your requests, but I promise next chapter will give you all the answers. ( Past relationship, the break up..etc.) No matter what I will try . One question though : Is the story going too slow ?

I hope my english still understandable, it's my third language so I know I still made a lot of mistakes but having only one lesson of one hour and a half per week isn't enough. Therefore if there is someone who can correct me ( I'm not asking for the whole fic, just the real big mistakes ), please go ahead. Thank you very much in advance.
