Chapter 9 : Mystic water
'' Ruka ?'' The smaller girl asked with a quiet voice when they pulled back.
'' Yes , love ?'' Haruka said wondering why she had called the girl who was in her arms her love.
Michiru smiled at the blonde wanting nothing else than to kiss her.'' Who is she ?'' For a minute Haruka didn't understand what the other had meant but when she turned around she could exactly see what was going on when her eyes met those of Shizuka.
Yes Haruka tell her , i'm confused about that too , who am i ?'' The black haired girl asked in a pained tone.Haruka stepped back from Michiru while blushing slightly.Ah how was she going to talk herself out of this one without risking one of them end up hating her ? When she saw the looks the two smaller girls were giving her she knew there was no way she would get out of this that easily.
'' Well since Haruka isn't doing or saying anything.'' Shizuka said turning to face Michiru who looked at her with fearful eyes. She really hoped this black haired wasn't Haruka's girlfriend or something , please anything but that.'' I'm Shizuka Amadeus , and i assumed i was Haruka's lover ever since last night.'' The girl added causing the aqua haired to gasp and turn around to look at the tomboy who just gave her a please-don't-hate-me look.
Michiru shook her head.She had known Haruka was too good to be true , there was a girlfriend , why was there always a girlfriend involved ! Haruka just hung her head down in shame , what was there to say ?
'' Well , Haruka if there is something you want to say you'd better say it now.'' The black haired girl whispered , her voice didn't betray the anger and the hurt she felt but instead of that she sounded sad.
'' She's right.'' Michiru said not even bothering to look at the blonde or the black haired girl.'' You know you should've told me , or atleast ..why didn't you tell me I meant nothing more to you than...''
She was cut off by the blonde tomboy who finally looked up at the girl in front of her , the only girl that really mattered.'' No Michi , because there is no girlfriend. I never told her we were a couple , she assumed. I meant what i said to you Michi , I love you.''
Shizuka could feel tears stream down her cheeks.She couldn't believe it , Haruka was confessing she never loved her while she wasn't even looking at her ? ''That's not what you said last night , you told me you loved me , you told me I meant everything to you.'' She paused for a moment swallowing.'' I believed you and now you are telling me it didn't mean anything to you ? Do i look like some girl who is just for fun until you find someone better ?''
Haruka now turned her gaze at Shizuka who was now openly crying. She had been right , Haruka had done the same to Shizuka as Michiru had done to her , she knew exactly how she felt , she wasn't any better.'' I'm sorry Shizuka , i thouht i loved you too.I mean you were so nice to me , so sweet and caring but I guess that was exactly what i needed that moment , someone who would take care of me.''
Michiru just listened at the words that were spoken feeling more dizzy after each word that came from the blonde's mouth.' No Ruka , tell me she's lying , please don't tell me you slept with her just for fun , don't be like him.' She begged remembering how Mark had betrayed her , she knew how this Shizuka girl was feeling , she was feeling used and betrayed , not to mention Hurt.
'' So I don't even have to ask who you are choosing..'' It was more a statement but to Haruka it still sounded like a question coming from the black haired girl. She simply shook her head.
'' I'm sorry.''
'' No don't be.'' Shizuka said as she stared at he ground beneath her.''I'm the one who should say that , I'm sorry for falling for you , for believing someone like you could actually love someone like me , again i'm proved wrong.''
With that said she looked up again but not at Haruka instead of that she was now staring at the aqua haired girl who was also crying.'' If you can make Ruka happy.'' She paused earning a soft smile from Michiru.'' Please than make her happy , I know she loves you , she told me everything about what happened and what you've done after she helped you and honestly i don't think you deserve Ruka , I mean Haruka after the mistakes you made but if this is what she really wants then let it be.''
'' I..'' Michiru didn't know what else to say. This girl had been so deeply in love with the blonde that was also in her heart and now they had to say goodbye.It must've felt so painful.'' I know.'' She then said after taking a deep breath.'' Even i don't think i really deserve Haruka but..somehow..''
'' Don't go all soft with me.'' Shizuka suddenly hissed.'' The fact that i gave Haruka to you doesn't mean we are friends and no , you don't deserve her , you'll never do but to be honest i don't know what i was thinking , you know what i take that back you two truly deserve eachother , both you don't know anything else but breaking other people's hearts , using others for your own personal reasons and me personaly , i find that low and cheap.I can do so much better than that !''
'' Shizuka stop that !'' Haruka yelled when she could see Michiru was on the verge of breaking down completely.
'' No Tenoh you stop it ! You made this bed , now sleep on it ! I gave you my love , my comfor and what did you do ? You just took me for granted as you waited for someone better to come along , well not me , never ! I hope you two will be happy together , no I wish you two will both die a painful but lonely death !'' The black haired girl yelled back suddenly losing all control over herself as she slapped Haruka accross the face hard.
Haruka almost fell back but remained standing while placing her hand on the burning place on her cheek.'' I guess i deserved that.'' She murmered. Michiru just stared at Shizuka who was now sobbing and than back at the blonde who seemed to be losing it herself.
'' Hell yeah !'' Shizuka sobbed.'' That'll show you to mess with people's emotions cause ever since i met you i felt like walking through life with little wings on my shoes and i really thought it was possible to feel like that forever , I thought we were to be forever.'' She stopped there , she couldn't say anything anymore , it just seemed as if all her strenght was sucked out of her body , all the words she wanted to say had vanished.She loved Haruka , she didn't wished her dead and she didn't want to lose the blonde either.
'' I think..'' Haruka said but remained silent after the cold glares she recieved from both girls.It was not like she had used them both at the same time , why were they looking at her like this ? Did they think this was what she had wanted in the first place.
'' I should get going.'' Shizuka said while turning around only to face a tall and dark figure who was staring back at her with two cold and emotionless eyes. Eyes that Michiru reconized as those of the man she had once loved. Mark. He had found her.
Soon as he stepped out of the shadow confirming her fears she jumped back. This couldn't be happening , he was her way too fast. How had he managed to find Haruka's house in the first place , there was no way Haruka was in the phone book since she was a famous racer.It wouldn't be save for the blonde tomboy to be in it but if that wasn't the case , then how had he find her ?
'' Ah not happy to see your love ?'' Mark asked with an evil smirk on his face.Now even Shizuka stepped back away from the door that had been open ever since she had found Haruka and Michiru kissing in the hallway.
'' Love ?'' She asked turning her head to see who he was talking to.For a moment she feared it would be Haruka but soon found out his eyes were focused on the smaller girl who gazed at the man in fear.
'' Go away you are not welcome here.'' The blonde racer hissed pulling Michiru close to her in order to protect her love.
The man just rolled his eyes while he started looking for something in his pocket.'' I don't care Tenoh , I warned Michiru to stay away from you and she didn't listen , she has to face and deal with her punishment for loving a woman.''
'' So that's your problem.'' The aqua haired girl whispered.'' This is all about the fact i fell in love with a..woman ?''
He nodded.'' It's not natural , you of all people should know.Your parents will disown you unless i decide not to tell them , go home with me Michiru.'' Now it was Haruka's turn to roll her eyes.As if Michiru wouls really fall for such useless words.
'' And let you kill her , no way.'' Haruka stated as she hid the smaller girl who started sobbing behind her back.This man really didn't know that no meant no and not yes.He needed a good punch in his face , atleast she thought so.
Then finally he pulled his hand out of his pocket revealing the small revolver he held. Everybody was now very aware of the situation they were in. Shizuka on the other hand didn't know what was really happening , all she knew that this maniac was pointed a guy at the blonde tomboy she loved so much.
'' Don't you hurt my Haruka !'' She yelled as she tried to take the gun from his hands. As a reflex on the girl's actions he pulled the trigger , a shot was heard. Two shocked woman turned their heads to see who was hit , shocked they stared at the woman who was now bleeding and fell to the ground while taking deep breaths trying hard to remain conscious.
Oh yes , she was shot and considering the pain she felt she knew this was going to be the end. She pushed her hands on the wound trying hard to stop it from bleeding.Then she looked at the satisfied grin on Mark's face as she could hear screams filling the silence of the night.
Who got shot ? Well review and find out !
