Yes Haruka finally had a memory. She's on her way back to her old self. Well heres the next chaper, Enjoy.

"My first real memory." Haruka whispered.

Haruka had been waiting so long for this moment. She had wanted to remember something, anything at all. And she finally had. The memory was clearly of them in high school. It was a very sweet moment of the two of them.

"Michiru." she thought.

Meanwhile downstairs Michiru had decided to leave. She wanted to talk to Setsuna. Because right now she needed some advice from the older girl. She needed a little push in the right direction. She needed a little help, she wasn't afraid to admit that. Especially now with Haruka gone.

"Makoto I will call you when funeral arrangements have been made."

"Alright, be careful okay Michi."

Haruka heard the last part about the funeral arrangements. The only problem was that there would be no body to find. Because Haruka was alive and right upstairs. Then she heard the door close meaning that Michiru had left. Before to long Makoto came back up to the attic. Only to find Haruka sitting in the corner.

"Haruka are you alright?"

"Look at what I've done to her, I've destroyed her."

Haruka stood up and gazed out of the window. She never heard Michiru cry like that before. And now there was talk about a memorial service. She could only imagine how Michiru would react when she found out the truth. That she wasn't really dead. But what was worse was that she had been faking her death. She would also be very upset with Makoto for going along with the whole thing.

"She wants to have a funeral for you, Haruka will you go on allowing her to believe that your dead?"

"What can I do, how could I just walk into her life again. And pretend that nothing happened, that I didn't really die underneath that bridge."

It would be hard at first, anger and bitterness. It would take awhile for Michiru to forgive Haruka, she would have a lot to make up for. But didn't she feel that it was worth a try.

"Haruka..." Makoto started.

"I had my first memory today."

Makoto opened her eyes wide in surprise. Yet she was very happy for Haruka. It had been months, close to a year. Haruka had finally began to remember something. Michiru would have been beyond thrilled. That is if Haruka hadn't been faking her death.

"You did, what happened?"

Haruka got into details about the small memory. It was just the two of them in high school. Yet, it was a very hopeful memory. Haruka was starting to doubt that she would remember anything. It had felt good to finally have some type of memory.

"I'm glad you remembered something Haruka."

"It was such a short memory. But it was so powerful at the same time, I mean I just felt this sudden feeling of love surge threw me."

"I know what you mean. Because deep down, you still love her. Its just taking a little longer for you to realize that. Haruka she thinks that your dead, she wants to have a memorial service for you."

Haruka knew what she should do. But to show up at her own funeral when she wasn't even dead. Maybe there was something else she could do instead.

"I know what you want me to do Makoto."

"Theres only one person who would have been more excited that you had a memory. Michiru deserved to know that you remembered something. I just hope you go to her before its to late."

Michiru decided to have a small service outside. With her and all their friends. Although there was the fact that they had not found the body. It didn't matter Michiru decided to go on with the service. Because Haruka deserved the proper respect.

"Thank you all for coming." Michiru said gratefully.

"Of course Michi you know we would have came." Rei told her.

Setsuna hugged her friend trying to comfort her. Michiru had been bothered the most by Haruka's "death". It was hard enough for her to stand her today. Soon all of their friends got up to say something, except for Makoto. She just didn't know what to say.

"Makoto why don't you go up and say something?" Rei suggested.

She nodded and made her way up to talk about Haruka. She felt like such a hypocrite acting as if Haruka were really dead. She looked down for a minute and then looked back up. Across the street she saw a tall figure standing there. With a long trench coat, a hat, and some shades. But she noticed that only too familiar dirty blond hair.

"Haruka..." she whispered.

All of her friends looked at her surprised. Wondering why she had not said anything yet. Makoto continued to look over across the street. But Haruka had started to walk away. Makoto made a mental note to yell at Haruka when she got home.

"Haruka was the best friend we ever had. She was always there for us when we needed her. I hate to think of how she left this world. She was forcefully taken away from us, Michi especially. Although she is gone, her memory will forever live on."

Makoto sat back down feeling horrible about what she said. Sure it was a beautiful thing to say, but it had no real meaning. Haruka had not left this world in a horrible way. Her body was not dragged out by the current. She was very much alive and well. Makoto was the only person who knew that of course. It got extremely quiet as Michiru got up to say a few words.

"This is a very difficult time for me. So far I had to say goodbye to the one I love twice. When she lost her memory apart of her was dead to me. Haruka was filled with bitterness and confusion, and it made things harder for us. But I couldn't just give up on her, I loved her to much for that. I know deep down she still loved me. Even if she couldn't remember."

Michiru began to cry again. Just the thought of Haruka dead was the most painful thing. She didn't even have a chance to tell her goodbye. All their hopes and dreams for a future were now dead, along with her.

"Its still very hard for me to believe that shes gone. I just sometimes feel that she hasn't left this world. That there is a chance she could possibly alive. I know deep down that isn't true though, I will just have to accept the truth. Haruka is gone and theres nothing I can do about it."

It took everything Makoto had from jumping up and shouting the truth. She couldn't take it anymore, Michiru had to know the truth. Makoto got up and walked away quickly. Leaving everyone very confused, especially Michiru.

"Makoto where are you going?" Michiru yelled out to her.

"Michi I need to do this, I'm doing this for you alright. Trust me."

And with that Makoto disappeared down the block. In search of her friend, who could be god knows anywhere by now. It didn't matter as long as she found her.

"Haruka, Michi needs you. I have to make you realize just how much..."

TBC...will Makoto find Haruka? Or will Michiru find her first..."
