Thanks again for all your reviews. I know the ending of the last chapter was really hurtful. But this chapter will blow you away.
Michiru stood there frozen, as she listened to Haruka's words. She had never felt so badly before in her life, she didn't know what to say. Haruka on the other hand hadn't meant to hurt her feelings, in fact that was the last thing she wanted.
"Michi I..."
"No, don't worry I understand." she said wiping tears from her eyes.
Haruka could see the pain reflected in her eyes, pain that she had caused. She needed to make it up to her somehow. Show her that hurting her was something that she never wanted to do. The last time she had saw pain like that was when she grabbed her wrist.
"Michiru I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that." she said hugging her.
Michiru didn't know what to say at first. But soon found herself returning the hug, besides it was only once in a while when they got close like this. Michiru found that she didn't want to let Haruka go, that she wanted to stay like this. But soon Haruka pulled away.
"I didn't mean to offend you, I just can't marry you right now, you understand right?"
Of course she understood why, it wouldn't be right for them to get married now. Especially when Haruka still didn't have any real memories.
"I know, but do you mind if I..."
"What?" Haruka asked.
"Keep this ring, because you will remember us one day. And then I know we will be married." she said.
Haruka couldn't say no to Michiru then. She had her heart set on them being married one day, and she couldn't just disappoint her.
"Yes, keep the ring. It was already yours anyway." she told her.
There they stood in silence, not knowing what to say to each other. Haruka wanted to apologiaze over and over again. And Michiru just wanted everything to go back to the way it used to be. Then Michiru decided to just go to bed, things weren't going to get solved tonight.
"I'm going to go to bed." Michiru said.
As she walked away to her surprise Haruka caught a hold of her hand. Michiru turned slightly so that she was facing Haruka.
"What is it?" Michiru asked.
And before either of them realized what was happening Haruka pulled Michiru close. Haruka leaned over and caught Michiru's lips in a passionate kiss. She was very surprised at first but soon found herself giving in and kissing back. She and Haruka hadn't been this close in many months.
She had almost forgotten how good it felt to be this close. Haruka then picked Michiru up and gently laid her on the bed. Then started kissing her again, picking up where they left off. But soon Michiru stopped kissing Haruka, she had to make sure that this was going to happen for real.
"What is it?" Haruka asked.
"Haruka are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes Michiru, I want to be with you tonight."
With that being said she kissed Haruka again, this time with more passion. She had wanted this for a long time, and now it was finally happening. They were finally on their way back to the relationship they had before.
(At the race)
Michiru, and all their friends showed up to catch Haruka's race. It had been so long since they saw her race, and they were all excited about it. As they took their seats they saw Haruka standing there next to her car, talking to another racer.
"So Tenoh I see your back to racing." he said.
"Yes and I'm going to win too."
She reached into her jacket pocket and took out her bottle of pills. There were about 3 left, and she just popped them all in. She knew deep down she wasn't supposed to take that many pills. But at that moment she really didn't care, when the bottle was empty she threw it onto the ground.
"Drivers enter your vehicles."
Haruka got in the car and so did the other drivers. She didn't care what it took but she would win this race. The flag was raised and she was off. Faster than any of the other drivers.
"Look folks its Haruka Tenoh, looks like she's back to her top racing form."
Before anyone could say anything the race was over. And Haurka was victorious.
"And the winner is Haruka Tenoh."
"Come on guys lets go down and congratulate her." Usagi said.
But they found that they couldn't because Haruka didn't stop driving. Although the race was long since over she had not gotten out of car.
"Whats going on?" the commentator asked.
Then the car stopped for a moment, the whole audience stopped and watched. No one knew what was going threw her mind. She could have been thinking anything.
"Haruka what are you doing?" Michiru whispered.
Just then Haruka drove off really fast, and they all looked to where she was headed. There was an old abandoned bridge up ahead. She was going to drive off it.
"Haruka, no." Michiru screamed.
Then she and all her friends, followed by many others ran up ahead. When they got close enough to it they saw, Haruka driving off the bridge. All her friends screamed as they watched the car plunge into the water. But what they didn't see was Haruka pulling herself from the car and crawling underneath the bridge.
"We have to see if she's still alive." Michiru said.
"I'm sorry Miss Kaiou but there was no way she could have survived." a police officer said.
She couldn't believe that they were all just willing to give up on Haruka like that. She had to be alive, there was no way she would accept that she wasn't.
"Your just going to give up on her, I demand that you put a rescue team down there now."
She had the money and the power. If she wanted a search team out there then she would have it. Unknowing to them Haruka was alive standing underneath the bridge. She couldn't just stay down there someone was sure to find her. But until then she would just have to buy her time.
Hours later a crew was pulling up Haruka's car, and there of course was no Haruka inside. Some of them had decided that the she was dragged underneath the water. But of course Michiru was not about to believe that she was dead.
"She has to be alive."
"Of course she is." Setsuna said.
Haruka stood underneath the bridge when she saw a man. He was obviously sent down there to search for her body, or to see if she was still alive. She hoped to god that he hadn't seen her. But she wasn't that hard to miss.
"Ms Tenoh your alive." he said
"Shh, lower your voice. Yea I'm alive."
"Everyone is looking for you."
"I know."
She took out a pocket full of money. Over hundreds over dollars were there, she needed to keep him quiet. He was now the only one who knew she was alive.
"When they ask you tell them you didn't see me."
He nodded and took the money. Now that he had the money in his hand he was going to keep quiet. But what he didn't understand was why she wanted to fake her death in the first place.
"Well where is she?" Michiru asked.
"I'm sorry there was nothing down there." he lied.
Soon a detective and a doctor came over to Michiru. The doctor was holding the empty bottle of pills,and the detective looked very remorseful.
"Ms. Kaiou, we know why she killed herself." the detective said.
"Haruka is not dead." She said.
"She was taking these pills was she not." the doctor said.
"Yes her pain killers, so what about them."
"There not pain killers, these are anti psychotic drugs." the doctor said.
Oh boy cliff hanger. Stay here for more.
