I just wanted to say Merry Christmas everyone. And that this chapter is dedicated to Rushing Wind. For saying exactly where Haruka is going. Enjoy!

Michiru followed after Haruka, for what seemed like forever. She couldn't help but wonder where she was going. Finally Haruka stopped at the hospital. Michiru realized then what this was all about. She wanted to confront the doctor. The one who gave her those anti- psychotics in the first place. Haruka took a deep breath and went in. Michiru followed in moments later.

"May I please see Dr. Yoshiko, its really important."

"Third floor, second door to your right."

Haruka thanked the nurse and headed for the stairs. Michiru went up the opposite stairwell. After all she wasn't even supposed to be there. But this was important, she needed to be here. Haruka reached the door pausing for a moment. Drawing up all her strength and courage. Their was a reason behind this madness.

"Dr. Yoshiko?"

She stepped in the room to see the chair turned around. She slowly approached the chair, turning it around. There was someone there. She was clearly a nurse, her blood everywhere. Apparently she had been strangled. Haruka looked horrified at the body. Slowly she moved back away from the body.

"Hello Haruka."

Haruka quickly turned around to see Dr. Yoshiko standing there. Blood all over his hands, a manic look in his eyes. He looked from Haruka to the nurse.

"Nice of you to join me."

"Why the hell did you kill that nurse?"

He didn't say anything except went into his draw. Dr. Yoshiko took out a bottle of pills. They had Haruka's name on them.

"Did my little drugs help? These are your real pain killers. I just never got around to giving them to you. So Ms. Tenoh how have you been. Done anything rash lately... I don't know like crash a car."

Haruka reached over and grabbed the doctor forcefully. How dare he talk to her like that. She reached for his neck, about to choke him. When someone called out to her.

"Haruka stop."

She turned around to see her brown haired friend. She wondered how and why Makoto was here. She couldn't have seriously followed her.

"Makoto what are you doing here?"

"I followed you to see where you were going. Don't kill him."

Haruka loosened up her grip and let the doctor go. Dr. Yoshiko then ran off down the hall. Haruka wanted to run after him, but Makoto grabbed her. Causing her to look at her friend.

"Your not a murderer Haruka. I can't let you kill him, alright."

"So what am I supposed to do, let him get away with what he did. Not only to me, but to Michiru as well. I can't let him walk away."

As Michiru headed back downstairs, she felt someone grab her. She could not break free from this tight grip. Before she knew it she was being dragged out of the side exit. Her mouth covered by the doctors hands. So even if she screamed it wouldn't matter, no one would hear her.

"Ms. Kaiou, you hold tight. Haruka, will be here soon."

Haruka ran down the stairs with Makoto following after her. There she spotted a doctor in a white coat. Thinking it was the doctor, she grabbed him. When she saw the fear in his eyes she let him go. Realizing then that she had the wrong man.

"Sorry I thought you were someone else."

"Thats alright Ms. Tenoh, seen one doctor you seen them all."

"Well I'm looking for a deranged loonatic, seen him?"

The doctor shook his head no, and walked away. Leaving Makoto and Haruka standing on the first floor. Dr. Yoshiko couldn't have gone far. Makoto taped her on the shoulder.

"Yes? Whats wrong?"

"I saw Michiru here too..."

Makoto did not get to finish her sentence.

"What? Michiru is here, what if he has her. I'll kill him if he hurts her."

Haruka ran off again with Makoto following after her. Haruka began to think things threw. He couldn't have disappeared. And he wouldn't have gone out the front. All answers became clear, he went out the side exit. Haruka opened the door to find herself in the parking lot. There was Dr. Yoshiko, holding on to Michiru.

"Michiru!" she called out.

"Haruka..." she mumbled.

Haruka tried to walk closer to them. Dr. Yoshiko put the gun to Michiru's back. Causing Haruka to stop dead in her tracks. Makoto stood there in absolute shock. There Michiru was standing there, with a gun to her back. How were they supposed to help her.

"Ah ah ah, don't come any closer or she gets her pretty head blown off."

He held Michiru tighter to him, the gun still there. Michiru did her best in trying to break free. But there wasn't much she could do. Haruka remained cool, now was not the time to panic.

"Let her go, your problem is with me not Michiru."

He smiled manically running his fingers threw her hair. He had to admit she was really beautiful. Dr. Yoshiko hated to kill one so beautiful. Hopefully things wouldn't get that far.

"She's really beautiful. I don't know how you could let her go. Oh thats right, you were drugged up on anti- psychotics. I'm really sorry about that Haruka. I sware I didn't know you would react that way. I mean crashing your car of a bridge. Thats a little extreme even for you."

"Why would you do that to Haruka? I don't understand." Makoto asked him.

Dr. Yoshiko turned his eyes over to her. A small smile on his face.

"Its simple really I just wanted to ruin Haruka's life."

At this Michiru stomped on his foot. Causing him to let her go, yelling out in pain. Haruka ran over and the two of them, struggled for the gun. Michiru looked on in horror along with Makoto. Shots were fired and Haruka froze.

"Haruka no!" Michiru yelled.

It had seemed like Haruka was the one shot. Dr. Yoshiko dropped to the floor, his blood all over. Haruka dropped the gun to the ground. Her hand shaking nervously. The doctor looked up at Haruka, a smirk on his face.

"No matter there are others. I have failed, but someone will kill you. This is goodbye Ms. Tenoh."

Just like that he died there. In a pool of his own blood. Michiru ran over to Haruka, throwing her arms around her. Haruka did not hesitate to return the embrace. She could have lost her in a split second. Thankfully neither one of them were physically hurt. Michiru could no longer control her tears. All her emotions rising to the surface, her fears and her happiness. Haruka wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

"Haruka, I almost lost you back there. Don't scare me like that again."

"I almost lost you Michiru. I couldn't let you get hurt, I would never be able to forgive myself. You're really alright, you aren't hurt are you?"

Michiru just nodded and held onto Haruka tighter. Trying to put the last few seconds out of her mind. All that mattered was they were both alive.

"Please don't worry about me Haruka. Just don't leave me again, promise me!"

"I promise." she whispered.

Till my next update, whenever that will be. R&R plz.
