"I have failed, but someone will kill you. This is goodbye."

Dr. Yoshiko's words replayed in her head, over and over. Like a broken record stuck on one song. Only Haruka, really didn't want to hear this tune. She couldn't help but feel concerned. Haruka sat outside near her motorcycle. So into her thoughts. She found that she couldn't think of anything else. Someone else wanted her dead. She didn't realize she had that many enemies.

Haruka never thought she had any. But apparently she had some. She didn't notice Michiru sit down next to her. To busy wrapped in her own thoughts. She turned around when she felt a hand. Haruka turned to look at Michiru. Lost in her eyes for a moment.

"Haruka are you alright?"

"Yes I'll be fine. Its you that I'm worried about. I really didn't know that would happen. Now, I have other people after me. They will most likely come after you. Michiru, I need to make sure that your alright. I... just don't want to see you hurt."

Michiru could say the same thing. It could have been Haruka dead on the ground. Instead of Dr. Yoshiko, thankfully Haruka was alive. It sounded as if Haruka wanted to leave again. Maybe she thought it best, if they were separated. Michiru could see why she would want distance between them. If someone was after Haruka, it would continue anyway. No matter if they were together or not.

"Haruka I understand your concerns. But, we should stay together. Separating ourselves from each other. That will only harm us. We're stronger together, than alone. Don't you know that."

For the first time in many, many months. Haruka smiled at her. Not just any smile. One of those loving smiles, that she had before. When times were simple. Before the amnesia, when they were really in love. Not that they didn't love each other. Yet, times were happier then. Haruka soon put her arms around Michiru. Realizing that she was indeed right. Besides they had already lost so much time together.

"You're right Michi. I will stay here with you. There is no point in running off."

"Have you been having any more memories. Its just... well you sound like your old self. I know, I shouldn't be getting hopeful. It just feels right to have you back again."'

Haruka couldn't lie to Michiru. There had been only those two memories. As of now, there were no new ones. Yet, those two memories had done some good. They really opened up her eyes. Made Haruka see just how deep their relationship was.

"No sorry I haven't had any new memories. But the ones I had, have helped me a lot. I'm sorry for everything I did to you. Michiru you really didn't deserve any of that."

"Haruka, its alright. Its just good to be here with you, right now. Lets not get stuck in the past."

The next day Haruka decided to pay a visit to Makoto. She had been her best friend through this. Haruka owed her everything. And felt the need to thank her. Makoto didn't even have to place herself in it. She could have stayed out of it. She even risked many friendships. There was a time when Haruka only trusted Makoto.

"Haruka, hey are you alright."

Neither one of them would forget that day. Both Haruka and Michiru could have been hurt. Makoto was very glad that they were both okay.

"Yes I'm fine, how are you doing?"

"I'm alright. Then again, that whole thing was really scary."

Makoto received no arguments there. That was something, none of them wanted to go threw again. Haruka still couldn't help but be worried. She was really concerned about what Dr. Yoshiko told her. Haruka knew for a fact that he was not lying. Why else would he go threw all that trouble. And then there was that look in his eyes. Manic, but truthful at the same time.

"Makoto thank you for everything. You've been my best friend throughout this whole thing. I don't know how close we were before. But still you have understood and helped me. Even though it went against everything you stand for. And it ruined a lot of friendships. You still were there, I don't really know how to thank you."

Makoto wondered where all this was coming from. Maybe it was because, of the near death experience. She must be doing this for a reason. Makoto was just being a good friend. There was really no need to be thanked. Sure it was crazy year. At least she was getting her life back on track.

"Haruka thats alright, you don't have to thank me. If I didn't want to help you, then I wouldn't have. All of that is in the past now. We only have the future to look forward to."

"Your right Makoto. Speaking of the future, I wanted to ask you a favor. If you're busy now, then you don't have too. But there is something I want to get Michiru, I could use your help."

Makoto thought it over for a moment. She sure as hell wasn't doing anything. It would do her some good to go out. And see what Haruka had in mind.

"Sure I'll go, but what are we going to do?"

"Well its a surprise for Michiru. So, you'll see when we get there. But you must promise not to tell her, not even a hint. I will be the one to tell her."

At that Makoto's mind grew more curious. She really wanted to know what it was. She would remain a good friend, and not say anything.

"Alright I promise."

"Good, lets go then shall we."

I've decided that the next chapter, will be the last chapter. Look for that update soon.
