Gomen for all those mistakes in the first two chapters I guess I should pay more attention to what I do.
Leena 9: I love reading your reviews they are so nice.
Emperor Sidious: hugs right back at you thanks for the review.
Leo Sky: I'm glad you like the story.
Bahamut's king: Here's the update you wanted.
Haruka was finally being released after nearly 2 weeks of being in the hospital Michiru was glad that Haruka was coming home, but also a little nervous about it because she had no memory of them or their relationship.
"Hey are you ready to go?" Michiru asked.
"Yeah I'm glad to be getting out of this hospital."
Michiru offered to carry Haruka's bag she didn't want any more stress on Haruka who still had her ribs and shoulder bandaged up. After signing her discharge papers they made their way to a black sports car.
"Haruka you sit in the car I have to make a phone call."
"Sure okay."
Michiru waited until Haruka was seated in the car until pulling out a cell phone and calling Usagi she needed to make sure everything was in order for Haruka's return home party.
"Hello Usagi."
"Michi hey um don't bring Haruka here yet we're not quite finished setting up."
"Your not, okay well how much time do you guys need."
Usagi stared at Rei and Minako who were busy arguing on which color balloons to blow up and where the cake should go.
"Um 20 minutes is good can you stall her until then."
"Sure I'll try see you soon Usagi."
"Okay bye Michi."
They hung up the phone at the same time Usagi turned to her friends who were still busy arguing over what to do.
"Alright guys we have exactly 20 minutes to decorate this place before Haruka and Michiru get back here, come on people lets make some magic happen here." Usagi said.
"Sure okay." Minako said.
Meanwhile Michiru was just getting in the car to see Haruka turning the stations on the car radio obviously trying to find some good music to listen to.
"Okay Ruka you ready to go?" she asked.
"Yeah sure."
Michiru never really used to do much of the driving but this time she would make an exception seeing as how Haruka was just released from the hospital. Soon Haruka stopped at a station that was playing Evanescence.
"Finally some good music." Haruka sighed in relief.
"So Haruka where would you like to go? It's a nice day why don't we stay outside before we go back home?"
"Sure okay this may sound strange but I guess I would like to go to the park."
"Alright the park it is."
The entire drive to the park was silent they said nothing to each other Michiru kept her eyes on the road and Haruka continued to turn the radio stations. It was obvious to Michiru that Haruka was trying to avoid her she couldn't really blame her as much as Michiru didn't want to admit it she was a stranger to Haruka.
"Haruka?"
"Yeah."
"Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm alright my head still hurts a little."
Soon Michiru parked the car across the street from the park Haruka was the first one out the car and instead of waiting for Michiru to get out of the car she left and went straight into the park. The way Haruka acted puzzled Michiru she wondered why she rushed out of the car so quickly.
"Is it possible that she doesn't want to be around me." Michiru thought sadly.
But she put her thoughts aside and went into the park to join Haruka who was standing there gazing into the lake.
"Haruka why did you run off like that?" She asked.
"I'm sorry about that I don't really know why."
"Please don't do that again you worried me."
"I understand."
She stood up and turned to face Michiru for the first time in 2 weeks Michiru saw some emotion in Haruka's eyes it was a mixture of pain and regret.
"Michiru?"
"Yes."
"How did it happen? I can't remember what happened that day, you know the accident."
"It happened really fast you were about to win the race when suddenly you were thrown of your motorcycle it was really scary, I thought that I was going to loose you."
Haruka said nothing as she turned back to look at the lake while Michiru just stared at her she wanted to say something to her, anything that might trigger a memory but had no idea what to say to her so just remained quiet.
"We were here before weren't we?" Haruka asked.
"Um yes, how did you know that?"
"I cant explain why it just feels like I've been here before."
"We used to come here with our friends when we were teenagers."
Haruka turned to look at her anger written all over her face.
"So thats why you brought me here hoping I would remember something." she said angrily.
"What? Haruka that's not why I brought you here you said that you wanted to go to the park and thats exactly where I took you."
"Whatever I don't want to be here anymore."
Haruka walked away and Michiru followed after her very confused on what had just happened back there. She had seemed so calm and carefree and then out of nowhere she got defensive and angry with her. Michiru knew now that she had to watch what she said around Haruka she did not want to see her angry like that again.
Meanwhile at Haruka and Michiru's house
"Is everything ready?" Usagi asked.
"Yeah Usagi everything is in order alright." Makoto said.
Usagi took another look around everything seemed to be in order but noticed that the banner that they bought was not put up yet.
"Hey where's the banner?" Usagi asked.
"What banner?" Ami asked as she put the boom box on the table.
"The banner that said " Welcome home Haruka" Mamoru did you buy it?"
"Yes I did I put it right here." He answered putting his finger on the table.
But there was nothing there Usagi began to panic she needed that banner.
"Guys give me a piece of paper and some coloring pencils."'
"Why? You are no Van Gogh leave the art to Michi." Rei said.
"Whatever just give me the paper."
In a matter of minutes Usagi had designed what looked like a banner done by a third grader her friends couldn't help but laugh at it.
"There all done."
"Well Usagi at least Haruka will get a laugh out of it." Minako said.
They all stopped when they heard the sound of a car pulling up to the house they knew what that meant Haruka and Michiru were back.
"Okay people they're here run to your places." Usagi said.
Haruka got out of the car and stared at the mansion although no memories came back to her she had to admit it was a very beautiful house.
"So this is where we live?" Haruka said.
"Yeah this is it."
Michiru entered the house first and Haruka followed after her once she walked in she couldn't get over how beautiful the inside of the house was. She was busy staring at the pictures when she heard loud voices.
"Surprise!"
Haruka looked up and saw the smiling faces of all her friends and looked past them to a table set up with gifts and a banner which read "Welcome Home Haruka."
"I don't know what to say." Haruka said.
"Come on Haruka we did this for you."
Haruka reluctantly walked into the room and sat down on the couch she turned her attention to a guy she had never seen before.
"Hey Haruka how are you feeling?" he asked.
"I'm fine but who are you?"
"Mamoru I'm Usagi's boyfriend."
"Usagi which one is that again?" Haruka asked.
Soon they turned around at the sound of dishes braking and Usagi smiling nervously because she was the one who dropped them.
"Let me guess the clumsy one." Haruka said.
Mamoru smiled and laughed.
"Yeah thats Usagi alright."
It wasn't long before the party was really getting started Haruka watched as the people around her were smiling and laughing. Apart of her wanted to be right there with them but for some reason found herself wanting to get away from it. When she saw that no one was looking she walked out of the room and went outside. She sat down on the stairs and sighed to herself being around all those strange people was going to be a lot harder than she first thought.
"Haruka?"
She turned around to see one her friends although she couldn't remember which friend she was.
"Yes."
"What are you doing out here? The party is inside."
"I really don't feel like celebrating."
The girl sat down next to Haruka and for awhile all was silent until she spoke again causing Haruka to turn around alarmed.
"It's okay you can ask me you know?"
"Ask you what?" Haruka asked.
"My name, I know you want to know."
Haruka nodded she did want to know her name to see if it might bring back some familiar memories of her life.
"Okay whats your name?"
"Makoto."
"Makoto." she repeated. "Well you already know mine."
Makoto laughed a little but soon stopped and everything was silent again Makoto knew she should be inside at the party but for some reason being out here with Haruka felt much better. Meanwhile inside the house they were getting ready to cut the cake but thats when Mamoru noticed that Haruka was nowhere to be found.
"Hey anyone seen Haruka."
"She's gone." Michiru said.
"I'll go and look for her." Setsuna offered.
She left the room and walked down the hallway she peered out the window and saw Haruka sitting outside but she wasn't alone she was accompanied by Makoto. Setsuna walked threw the front door and sat down with them.
"Haruka, Makoto why are you two out here?"
"I didn't feel right at the party." Haruka answered.
"Oh okay I understand." She turned her attention to the sky. "Its such a lovely day." she whispered to no one in particular.
"Yeah it is perfect day to go to the beach." Makoto said.
"Yeah." Haruka said.
"I'm Setsuna by the way."
"Setsuna pretty name." Haruka said.
"Yes, well Haruka, Makoto don't you think we should get back to the party?"
"No, why?" Haruka asked.
"Because Michiru worked hard to pull this thing off."
They turned around when they heard footsteps Haruka stared at the two girls but still couldn't remember their names only that they were in the hospital room with her when she woke up.
"Hey the party is inside remember?" Ami joked.
"Yeah I know but it's a really nice day." Makoto said.
"Makoto is right lets sit outside for awhile." Minako said.
"If you don't mind me asking who are you two?" Haruka asked.
"I'm Minako."
"And I'm Ami."
The two girls sat down on on the other sides of Makoto and Setsuna they were all looking up at the sky for no particular reason. Meanwhile inside Michiru was becoming agitated not only was Haruka gone but now Makoto, Setsuna, Ami, and Minako were gone as well.
"I'm going to go look for everyone." Michiru said.
"Alright lets all go." Rei said.
It didn't take long to find a group of girls sitting outside staring into the sky Michiru walked out first and stared at them. They all seem immobilized and looked like zombies staring into the endless blue sky.
"So I guess the party is outside now." She said.
"Oh Michi sorry its just when we saw Haruka out here we couldn't just leave her out here alone." Makoto said.
"Yeah." Minako said.
Haruka stood up and stretched and took notice to the black haired girl standing behind Mamoru she knew that she didn't remember her name.
"Who are you?" She asked pointing to Rei.
"I'm Rei."
"I guess I'll have to get name tags for all of you." she joked.
But no one was laughing they thought she was serious and this began to worry them.
"It was a joke I was kidding I remember your names lets see Minako, Mamoru, Ami, Makoto, Rei, Usagi, Michiru and Setsuna right?"
"Yeah thats right?" Minako said.
"Alright now thats over how about we go and cut that cake."
"Now your talking." Usagi said.
Haruka followed her friends back into the house she had been eying that cake for awhile that was practically the only thing to look foreword to. With a little extra help from Usagi in a matter of an hour the cake was gone. Later that night everyone left and it was just Michiru and Haruka things were going to be awkward now. Haruka decided it was now time to take a shower it took her 10 minutes to find the bathroom but once she did she locked the door and got in.
She had to admit the shower was relaxing and she almost didn't want to leave because she would have to go back out there and face Michiru. Once the shower was over she got into a t shirt and some boxers and before she knew it she was falling asleep on the couch. When Michiru realized that Haruka wasn't coming to bed she went downstairs to find Haruka asleep on the couch. She smiled at her she looked so calm and peaceful.
"Ruka." she said.
Haruka woke up with a start and focused her attention on Michiru.
"Hey what's wrong?" Haruka asked concerned.
"I didn't mean to wake you its just I was wondering when you were coming to bed?"
"Oh, well if you don't mind I think I should sleep out here."
"What? Haruka I..."
"You understand don't you?"
"Yes." she nodded.
She walked up the stairs she had just been rejected by the woman she loved without her Haruka laying next to her she found it hard to sleep. She tossed and turned but nothing felt right she needed Haruka. Soon she began to cry tears of frustration Haruka was not able to go back to sleep because she could hear the soft crying. After a few hours the crying had stopped Haruka walked up the stairs and looked at the sleeping form of Michiru. She looked so beautiful while she slept and Haruka knew she had hurt her feelings earlier.
She walked over to where Michiru was sleeping and got in the bed as well then she put her arm around her brought her closer to her.
"Sweet dreams Michiru." she whispered.
See ya in the next chapter I hope this chapter was enjoyable.
