Sorry I'm so late with this update I would have it up sooner but something was wrong with my computer. Oh yeah thanks for all those reviews they really gave me confidence to write this chapter.
Papapapuffy: Your update.
Proz-milo: I too hope Michi feels better but their problems have only just begun.
Emperor Sidious: Yes it appears that this story is going to be Haruka and Makoto but it wont I promise. We should sue the movie theater for giving you that nasty cold popcorn, Lol.
DragonSlayer 6: I love Haruka and Michiru fics too actually they are the main ones I read. I'm glad you like the story so far.
AnimationWickedRaven: Hey I'm glad you think its awesome. Actually I think this story is far from awesome but with a little more work I'm sure it will be much better. Oh yes try and update your stories again soon when you get the time of course.
Kiko Amiko kun: Thank you for your constructive criticism. And the reason why Haruka got angry in that chapter was because she is frustrated. Its like she knows deep down that Michiru wants her to get her memory back but she also doesn't want to disappoint her. So instead of being thankful that memories might start coming back to her she gets angry. You have to read the story more to understand I guess. Oh yes thank you for wishing me luck on this story but this story doesn't need luck it needs Jesus.
Leo Sky: Yes Haruka's actions threw me off guard too. Before I realized what was happening it was already written and even though I didn't like what I did I have to admit it added some drama to the story.
Leena9: Oh don't worry I'm thankful for your nice reviews when I said I was wondering when that day would come I was just joking I wasn't really serious.
Well now on with the story and enjoy.
Makoto and Haruka went across the street and found a bench to sit on. Makoto sat down first and then Haruka sat down next to her. She knew that Makoto would want to know what happened to her face it was only a matter of time before she would ask.
"Haruka I know you don't want to talk about it but what happened to you?"
Haruka closed her eyes for a minute and began to think, should she tell her about what really happened to her. She knew that once she did it would change how Makoto saw her. And she didn't want that to happen to be truthful she had enjoyed Makoto's friendship.
"I left the house early today I needed to be alone for awhile and clear my head. Everything was going fine until I came to a newsstand my picture was everywhere, and everyone was talking about my amnesia and if I would ever return to racing. It just made all this rage come over me.
"What did you do?" Makoto asked.
Back in the restaurant everyone was still in shock over Haruka's behavior never before had they witnessed her act like that. It was a scary thing to admit but the Haruka they all knew and loved was gone, and they couldn't even say if their Haruka would come back to them. Michiru wasn't scared anymore if anything now she was really hurt now, Haruka acted really different around Makoto. It was difficult for Michiru to get threw to Haruka, but on the other hand it was very easy for Makoto. It was like every time they made any progress something happened to yank that progress away.
"Michiru hows your wrist does it still hurt?" Usagi asked.
"No its fine." Michiru answered.
"I never been more scared of Haruka in my life, what was that all about?" Minako wondered.
"And that scar she must have been attacked by someone." Ami said.
Just then Michiru got up and looked out the window and across the street she saw Makoto and Haruka, they didn't even look they were talking just sitting there.
"I need to go see if whats happening?" she said.
"Michi do you think thats such a good idea, maybe you should leave Haruka alone for awhile give her some time to cool off." Setsuna said.
"Your right but if they're not back soon I'll just have to go out there."
Then Michiru sat back down but now she began to wonder if maybe there was a chance that something was going on between Haruka and Makoto. To be honest she wouldn't be surprised if it was she knew that Makoto had a crush on Haruka before. She wasn't sure if she still did or not and she was never to clear on Haruka's feelings for Makoto, if she had any.
(With Haruka and Makoto)
Haruka stood up and began to stare into space, still wondering if she should go on with the whole complete story she knew she could talk to Makoto as friends. But she didn't want to see that look in her eyes when she found out what really happened.
"I was attacked." Haruka lied.
That did make a lot of sense to Makoto but for some reason she just couldn't believe that was the real, complete story. She had to know what really happened.
"Haruka, what really happened?"
"Okay but you should sit down."
Makoto sat down and Haruka waited a few moments until she began again.
"So I was wondering around a bad neighborhood when I saw this club. People were fighting in them I mean like really fighting to they beat the hell out of each other. Blood was everywhere it was a really messed up place but I went on in the ring."
"You were fighting, thats where that scar came from?" Makoto asked.
"I got in the ring with this guy he was bigger than me but I still kicked his ass, all the anger from my amnesia and the newspaper came out. Just as I was winning he took out a knife and pushed into my shoulder and slashed me across the face with a razor. I had no choice but to give up the fight so thats everything that happened to me thats where the scar came from."
Makoto sat frozen for a minute this was all new to her, she knew Haruka was very athletic and competitive but fighting in those kind of clubs was not safe. She had heard a great deal about those clubs and people came close to dying.
"So now that you know you probably hate me huh?" Haruka questioned.
"No I could never hate you Haruka I'm just wondering why you have to fight, and are you going to do it again because if you are I'll have to stop you."
"I fought today because it was a way for me to get my anger out and it felt good that is up until the point where he stabbed me. I don't know if I'll ever go back to that club, and if I do why should it matter?"
Makoto reached up and touched Haruka's shoulder when she flinched Makoto could tell that was the shoulder that was stabbed.
"Show me?" Makoto said.
"What?"
"Show me the shoulder."
"I don't think I should its not a pleasant sight, its much worse than my face."
"Haruka we are friends so just show me okay."
Haruka nodded and then lifted up her shirt slowly Makoto watched as the shirt came over Haruka's head and then her eyes fell instantly onto her shoulder. Although it was wrapped up blood was still leaking threw and their was a big hole in Haruka's shoulder.
"She was right it is worse than her face." Makoto thought to herself.
"Haruka? We got to tell Michiru."
"What, no we can't tell her it would hurt her."
"She needs to know what your going threw and she loves you, she will be worried about you regardless so you have to tell her."
Haruka shook her head no and then put her shirt back on. Once her shirt was back on she turned to face Makoto with a serious look on her face.
"Makoto please don't tell her, I'll tell her when the time is right. And if she asks you what happened to me just tell her I was attacked or something."
"Haruka...I..don't know if I could lie to her like that."
"Promise me you wont tell her."
"Okay...alright I wont tell her."
"Thank you now I have to be going."
"Your leaving why?"
"You saw what I did to Michiru I can't face her right now so I'll leave."
Haruka started walking away but before she got far Makoto called out to her.
"Haruka promise me something okay, promise me you wont go back to that club tonight."
"Alright I promise."
(Back in the restaurant)
"You don't think Makoto and Haruka have something going on do you?" Michiru questioned.
"What? Why would you think a thing like that?" Rei said.
"Its possible isn't it, look at how close they are now."
"Michiru you know Makoto is not the type of person to back stab you by being with Haruka she values your friendship to much." Setsuna said.
"Yes your right I should stop thinking such thoughts."
They all looked up to see Makoto coming back into the restaurant but they were all surprised to see that Haruka wasn't with her. She sat down and noticed that all eyes were on her she knew they would ask where Haruka went and she could only give them partial answers.
"Makoto where's Haruka?" Rei asked.
"She's gone she didn't want to come back here. I'm sorry but she didn't tell me where she was going."
It was silent again and Makoto knew they all wanted to know what happened to Haruka's face, but the only one who deserved to know was Michiru. And she also could see that Michiru knew that she found out what happened to Haruka.
"Makoto?"
"Yes Michiru?"
"You know what happened to Haruka will you please tell me?"
How could she not tell her, but she promised Haruka that she wouldn't tell.
"She didn't tell me much only that she was attacked by someone and she didn't want you all to worry about her and also that she was sorry about grabbing your wrist like that."
"Is that why she didn't want to come back to the restaurant?" Michiru asked.
"Yes she said she couldn't face you knowing that she lost control like that I'm sorry I wish I could tell you where she was going but she didn't say."
"I understand thank you Makoto for being there for her when I couldn't.
Soon the bill was paid and everyone went their separate ways Michiru sat in the back of the car replaying what Makoto said in the restaurant. Something about it didn't feel right she could tell that Makoto was leaving out something. Something that Haruka obviously didn't want her to know she would have to ask her when she got home whenever that might be. Just as she thought Michiru came home to an empty house she sat on the couch and decided to wait for Haruka to come home. But she ended up falling asleep and during that entire time Haruka did not come home.
The next morning she awoke to find that Haruka still did not come home she began to worry although she didn't show it. She knew that Haruka was very capable of taking care of herself but still she worried so she decided to call the one person who might now where Haruka was.
"Hello Makoto its Michiru."
"Hey Michiru are you okay?"
"Yes I'm fine but I was wondering if maybe Haruka called you."
"No I haven't spoken to her since last night, why whats wrong?"
"She didn't come home last night and I was just worried about her."
A lot of thoughts were running threw Makoto's thoughts the main thing she wondered was did Haruka go back to that club. She seriously hoped she didn't because she would be putting her life in danger every time she went into that club.
"Michi try not to worry I'm sure Haruka will be back soon."
"Yes your right thank you Makoto."
"Your welcome and try to get some sleep you sound exhausted."
"I will try."
Michiru decided to take Makoto's advice and tried to go to sleep. Soon she found herself falling asleep upstairs in their room. But she still couldn't help but worry about Haruka and wondered if maybe there was something going on between Haruka and Makoto.
(Three days later)
Michiru awoke on the third day bright and early she went downstairs only to see Haruka creeping slowly into the front door. She stood silently and waited until Haruka closed the door before opening her mouth.
"Haruka where have you been all this time?"
"Michiru, um didn't know you were up."
She sat on the couch and Haruka stood for a moment before sitting in one of the chairs she was holding a bottle of pills in her hand.
"Where have you been Haruka? Are you okay?"
"I went to a doctor and got these pills they're supposed to help me."
"Oh and you couldn't just call and tell me that I was worried sick for days."
"Yes I know and I'm very sorry here these are for you."
Haruka handed her a dozen pink roses.
"Thank you Haruka I'm still hurt that you didn't call but these are beautiful. I'll put them in water."
As soon as Haruka saw that she left he opened the pills and popped two in her mouth and then grabbed her shoulder in pain there was a new stab wound now. She had went back to that club even though she promised that she wouldn't. Michiru saw her holding her shoulder and began to wonder what happened to her, it couldn't still be hurting from the motorcycle accident.
"Haruka are you okay?"
"Oh yes I'm fine."
"No you're not tell me what's going on?"
"Its nothing okay I'll be fine I'm taking these pills now."
Michiru put her arms around Haruka letting her know that it was okay and she should be able to tell her anything that was going on with her.
"Haruka tell me."
"Alright I'll show you ."
She took off her jacket and then her shirt Michiru looked on in horror as she saw blood pouring out of the hole in Haruka's shoulder. It was a bad sight to see and Michiru couldn't believe that someone wanted to stab Haruka that badly.
"I didn't want you to see this but now you know."
"Oh Haruka I'm sorry." she said running over to her and cradling her in her arms.
And thats how they stayed for hours with Michiru's arms wrapped around Haruka while she cried softly seeing Haruka stabbed like that would stay in the back of her mind forever.
Finish people you know what to do R&R if you want me to continue.
