Chapter 5 : The date ( part #1 )
It had been two days ago since Ami and Michiru had last talked to eachother and it had started to annoy both of them. It was also the day Ami was suppossed to go out with the blonde tomboy but she wasn't so sure anymore. If Michiru really did like Haruka she shouldn't go out with him , but on the other hand , as long as Michiru pretended she didn't care then why would she even bother to cancel the date ?
The blue haired girl just took a deep breath as she continued looking at the white ceiling above her. Why was Michiru so stubborn , why wouldn't the girl admit she had a thing for the blonde cop , why in the name of everything that was holy did Michiru have to act like this ? It wasn't her fault she got asked out by Haruka , she never had been the type to say no and plus that , didn't Michiru confirm she wasn't into men ?
All of this doubt , it started eating Ami even though it wasn't something she should be worrying about this much. Maybe she was overreacting , I mean her date with her mysterious internet guy was coming nearer everyday. Maybe she was just too nervous to concentrate on anything else , what kind of guy was he ? Would he be handsome ? Strong , good looking , nice ? All of these things played a big role. And now she really came to think of it , maybe this wasn't such a good idea , she didn't know anything about this guy. Oh well if Haruka turned out to be as nice as he seemed maybe things would work out between them.
The girl now turned her head to look at the alarm clock that stood next to her on a small table. It wouldn't be until two more hours before she would have to start getting ready for the date with the blonde tomboy. It would be a good idea to go and talk to Michiru first before she would make any stupid decisions that could cost her the friendship she shared with the aqua haired girl.
With a grunt Ami sat up and crawled off the bed. She really didn't feel like talking to Michiru , after all it wasn't her fault they were fighting in the first place. She decided to strug it off and hope for the best. With that thought she stood up from the bed and headed for Michiru's room.
Haruka sat behind her desk looking at some papers that lay in front of her but her head really wasn't into it. She couldn't stop thinking about the letter she had recieved and how her instinct told her not to trust Kenji , then there was the document she saw on Setsuna's desk and how the green haired woman had reacted to her simple question. Something was wrong and things were hidden , waiting to be found. Haruka knew the answer was right in front of her but she couldn't help herself but wonder what really was going on here.
Also it had been two days ago when she had brought the letter to the crime lab to search for prints , much to her suprise she found Michiru there who didn't look all too happy. The blonde had just assumed it had something to do with the fact she and Ami weren't talking to eachother anymore but when the aqua haired beauty even gave her the cold shoulder the blonde couldn't help it but feel hurt. Things were all going so wrong.
Suddenly the door was pushed open revealing Kenji who had a worried look on his face.'' Tenoh , another letter has arrived for you , I assume it's from our rainbow killer.'' He said causing Haruka to look up in suprise.
'' Give it to me.'' She just replied. She really didn't feel like talking to her partner unless she got some answers to her questions. Kenji who ofcourse noticed the tension that was building in this room just sighed as he handed Haruka the envelope that had been in his pocket before. She took it out of his hands trying to read his current mood. Much to her dismay she didn't figure it out so just opened the envelope and pulled out a yellow piece of paper.
'' Now he's even giving you nice colored paper.'' Kenji said with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
The blonde now started reading the letter and the further she got the wider her eyes became.'' You're not going to believe this.'' She stated in total disbelieve. The man in front of her just gave her a questioning look causing her to read what was written down on the paper she held in her hands.'' Trying to find me is hopeless , trying to find prints even more , I told you , yes you were close but then again ...not close enough. many greetings , your rainbow killer.''
'' This guy knows ?'' Kenji asked not really believing that could be true. The murderer knew Haruka had send the previous letter to the crime lab for prints , it wasn't so special because everyone with brains should've known Haruka would do that but the fact he wrote this letter told them enough. The murderer was someone who was working from the inside. It could be anyone around them. This would even make Haruka a suspect because she knew about the colors.
'' It seems like it.'' The tomboy stated.'' You know what that means don't you ?'' Kenji just nodded. It seemed Haruka had thought of the same thing too. But the question still stayed the same , who was the serial killer ?
'' Tenoh , since he knows what you are doing...'' He paused for a moment.'' In that case he knows you are protecting Ami , there is no reason for him to keep her as his victem now , he has probably chosen someone else already.''
'' No I don't think so.'' Haruka said as she put the letter back in the envelope and lay it down on her desk.'' We've been studying him for a long time now , we know he likes challenges , we know he likes to toy with people's minds. But two can play that game.''
Haruka said it in such a tone it even scared her partner. Oh yes this really seemed like Haruka had a plan.'' Okay...'' He said letting the blonde know he didn't understand what she had meant by this all.
'' Listen.'' The blonde cop started gaining Kenji's full attention.'' Everything that I say and everything that happens will stay between us , you're not allowed to even say one word to Setsuna about this.''
'' You suspect her ? And what happens if the killer is a woman , let's say that Michiru girl. She knows you're dating Ami.'' Kenji really was confused now. What had happened to the always calm and clearly thinking blonde ?
'' Well in that case if we recieve another letter we know who it is.'' The blonde replied as she suddenly turned pale. Ami ! She had totally forgotten about the blue haired girl. Much to her suprise she found she still had half an hour to get ready.'' Damn , I gotta go !'' She hissed and jumped up from her chair. The man just nodded as Haruka brushed past him. Before he could react or say anything else she was already gone.
Ami softly knocked on the door of Michiru's room who first didn't open but when she figured out Ami wasn't going to leave she stood up from her bed and opened the door giving her friend a cold glare.'' What do you want Ami ?''
'' I want to talk to you.''
'' You are talking to me already.''
'' I know.'' The other paused.'' Michiru please tell me why you are mad so I can fix it.''
Michiru turned her head away from the blue haired girl who looked so desperate for answers. She couldn't just open up and tell her what was bothering her , could she ? Would Ami understand in the first place ?
'' Are we done talking now ?'' Ami simply shook her head.
'' We are done talking when you cough up.''
'' Fine have it your way...'' The aqua haired girl muttered.'' It'sbecauseidon'twantyoutogooutwithHaruka !'' It took the other awhile to figure out what Michiru was saying but when she finished putting the words in one sentence that actually made any sence she smiled sweetly.
'' You like him , don't you ?'' Michiru just answered Ami by nodding and blushing.
'' Then why don't you go out with him ?''
'' Because he's a guy.''
'' But you just said you like him...''
'' I know , but that still doesn't turn him into a woman does it ?''
Ami just shook her head amused. She was glad the aqua haired girl was finally talking to her again.'' Okay Michiru , let's make a deal. Instead of me you go on this date even though he is a guy , just ignore that for once. If you like the date and like Haruka too , you can consider going out with him more often , if not...he's mine.'' The last part was nothing more than a whisper but loud enough for Michiru to hear.
'' Okay...but...how are you going to explain that to him ?'' Just on that very moment the bell rang causing them both to jump.
'' One way to find out...Besides , i'm not the one who's going to tell him.'' Ami said. Michiru turned red even more than she already was as she went wide eyed at this statement.
Ah Michiru and Haruka go on at date ? Well no , Haruka hasn't agreed yet...what do you all think is going to happen next ah ?
Let me know !
