Chapter 8 : Mad

'' Michiru please open the door !'' Ami pleaded. It had been a few hours ago she and Haruka had kissed and Michiru had stormed out. It seemed so foolish now. But on the other hand Michiru had no right to get this angry with her. I mean the aqua haired girl had said it herself , she wasn't into boys. In that case , why would she make such a drama out of this tiny event. Ami had been sure Haruka didn't like kissing her. It seemed the blonde cop only had eyes for her friend. At first Ami had been jealous and felt used but she got over it and had decided to find out why the blonde pretended to like her in the first place. Also she had never expect the blonde to return the kiss , she was actually suprised by it. And the fact Michiru just walked in that very moment , it seemed so unreal. Only stuff like that happened in cartoons. Hell she was proved wrong.

'' No go away !'' She could hear the other girl scream from the other side of the door. Michiru sounded so mad , so hurt and because of what ? If the aqua haired girl would take a minute to listen to Ami she wouldn't have to be this angry. It hadn't meant anything , she didn't want to betray Michiru , it was just a test to find out why Haruka was after her in the first place.

'' Please Michiru listen to me !'' Ami yelled back. She felt so helpless.'' Michiru I know you are mad at me for what you saw but it didn't mean anything ! I swear , I already told you I had no interest in Haruka , I just wanted to test why he wants to go out with me , we both know he came to our house just to ask me out. I've never seen him before that day...Please you got to believe me.'' She sounded so desperate.

Suddenly the door was opened revealing a very angry looking Michiru.'' I don't want your lies and I don't have to believe you. I believed once we were friends but now I know how wrong I really was. You aren't the shy girl you used to be , the girl who you were before we got promoted and started working in the lab. I hate you !''

Ami had stopped looking at Michiru now. She knew the aqua haired girl in front of her was right. She hadn't been the same as she once was but Michiru had changed a lot too. It seemed they did nothing but fight lately.'' Please don't say such things.'' She now begged but before she could say anything else Michiru had already cut her off by yelling some more at her.

'' Don't tell me what I should say or shouldn't ! You knew how I felt about Haruka. You said you would cancel your date with him so I could go out with him and the next day I find you two kissing in the lab , dammit !'' Michiru yelled causing Ami to look up at her with such an anger in her eyes Michiru kept quiet for a little while.

'' Oh don't pretend it's all my fault !'' The blue haired girl yelled back. She had completely lost it. It seemed Michiru was blaming everything on her now. She hadn't done nothing but being a good friend for the aqua haired girl and look at what she got in return.'' I did cancel my date with him so you could make a move but you didn't do anything and just let him walk away , as I already told you he's yours...I got my own date in four days with someone who has done nothing but listen to my problems , something you should have been doing , but no ! It's all about you , well guess was Kaioh I excist too !'' She could hear the other gasp. Maybe she should've just kept her mouth shut. She knew what she had just said had affected Michiru more than any other words could do.

'' Have it your way...'' Michiru whispered. The tone in her voice betraying her real emotions , anger , hurt but most of all pain.'' Go ahead , do what you want to do , I won't stop you but just to tell you , I don't care wheter you sleep with Haruka or not , we are no longer friends ! I quit that stupid job too , I didn't want it anyway.'' The truth was Michiru really loved her job but the idea of seeing Haruka and Ami every day just pained her.

'' Michiru you can't do that...'' But before the other could say anthing more Michiru had already closed the door again.


Haruka sat behind her desk. It had been two hours ago since she and Kenji had broken into Setsuna's office and had found that disturbing document. Not only had she found out a deadly virus had been tested on Ami but something inside of her told her this was somehow connected to the case on the rainbow killer. The question was , how ? How could a virus that was used two years ago have anything to do with a serial killer who was killing people through a patern that followed after the colors of the rainbow.

A that thought the blonde went wide eyed. Two years ago the serial killer had killed his first victem , a red headed girl. She wasn't shot or stabbed to death. Actually they had never figured out how she died , out of the autopsy they had stated she was strangled but there were never any signs of strangulation. She had to know how those people who had been infected with the virus died , if they died because their breathing had just stopped without any reason it could be whoever this killer was , was using the virus to kill his victems. The only problem was the fact the last victem was found dead with a knife in her back. Either the killer was afraid he was about to get caught or this girl had fought hard for her life making it impossible for him to inject the virus into her body. Whatever it was , the blonde was determined to find out. She had to talk to Setsuna , she was the only one who held the answers and the key to solve this mystery.

Just when she stood up Setsuna stormed into her office followed by Kenji who had a look on his face that didn't tell any good. Neither did the angry look on Setsuna's face look promising to her.'' Haruka Tenoh , you have a lot of explaining to do !'' The green haired woman yelled. What was she talking about ? Had she found out she and Kenji had broken in to her office ?

'' What did I do this time ?'' The blonde asked. She had decided to play it save.

'' Don't pretend to be that innocent Tenoh , I already talked to your lovely partner and he confessed !'' There seemed no way to calm the green haired woman down. First she threw the document on Haruka's desk followed by a picture of her and Kenji in Setsuna's office made by the camera's that hung in the green haired woman's office. Haruka hit herself metally. How could she have forgotten about those camera's.

'' Listen...I can explain.'' Haruka started as she recieved a questioning look from her partner. She just ignored it. After what they had found out and all the thinking she had done after this , she was sure Setsuna was innocent but that didn't rule out the fact Setsuna knew something.

'' Well you better start explaining..'' Setsuna hissed as the blonde tomboy nodded and sat down on her chair again.

Haruka looked down at the file Setsuna had thrown on her desk earlier and took a deep breath.'' I think I know how the killer is able to kill his victems without stabbing , shooting or strangling them but to be sure I need to know how the virus killed the so called subjects.''

'' That doesn't explain why you went to my desk and stole secret information.'' Setsuna said , she was clearly nervous about all of this.

'' I broke into your office because the look on your face when i asked about that file was practically screaming for it. So the choice is up to you now Setsuna , you can either fire me or start talking.'' Haruka said with a smirk on her face. There was no way Setsuna was going to fire her , after all Haruka had all the evidence to sue this office for using illegal virusses and killing innocent people.

'' Okay...'' The green haired woman gave in suprising Kenji.'' We used that damn virus to create immortal people , we wanted to test the human body and how much it can stand. Everybody who would get injected with the virus would gain a piece of that immortality. Cells that were dying inside of the body would be reanimated...'' She was cut off by the blonde who gazed at her impatiently.

'' I already read that in the file , how did those who you injected die ?''

Setsuna hung her head down in shame.'' They just stopped breathing.'' And there is was , the answer to the unussual death's of the victems from the serial killer. He was using the virus. Nothing could change that fact now , it would mean it had to be someone who was involved with that accident back then. But since everyone except for Ami died...it couldn't be one of the victems. Maybe someone from the lab.

'' Setsuna , who else who is still working for this office was involved back then ?'' The green haired woman thought about it for a moment before answering the blonde.

'' Only me , Seiya , Ami and a few docters who died because a unknown illness.'' Was the answer that made Haruka shiver. Oh how she wished the murderer was that little black haired man she couldn't stand ever since she met him. She now prayed to the gods the murderer would be Seiya. I mean come on , she would catch the serial killer and make that bastard rot in jail forever , for her that was the same thing as a trip to the heavens above.

'' Who still has acces to the old lab ?'' Haruka now asked causing Setsuna to grow suspicious.

'' Why do you want to know all of this , do you think the serial killer has anything to do with what happened back then ?'' Setsuna asked. Ofcourse she already knew the answer , she had known it ever since the first victem was found.

'' And who still have access to that old lab ?'' The blonde now asked ignoring Setsuna's question.

The green haired woman just shook her head.'' No one. We shut it down two years ago and even if someone is still accessing it there's no way he or she could use the virus. The virus has been destroyed completely.''

'' So we are right back at the beginning ?'' Kenji asked who had been quiet the whole time. Haruka just answered him by nodding and looked back at the green haired woman with a hint of anger in her eyes. Not only had Setsuna been lying the whole time but she had also betrayed Haruka's trust and not told the blonde anything about what had happened. Besides it seemed Setsuna already knew what Haruka had meant with that last question or else she wouldn't have started about the virus and having access to it.

Haruka took a deep breath and stood up earning questioning looks from both her partner as the other woman.'' I have to go..'' Haruka explained.'' There's someone else I need to speak before I jump to conclusions.'' With that said she started heading for the door leaving them behind with the same question.

Where was Haruka going ?


Ah yes before you all go jumping into conclusions yelling she's going to visit Michiru or Ami and Seiya is the serial killer...you are all wrong ! ( Or maybe not , one way to find that out )let me know what you think so far ..

In the next chapter Haruka will recieve another letter and i'll reveal the murderer to you !
