Disclaimer : I don't own the characters in here, most of the plot is borrowed by the movie 16 blocks as well so it's safe to say that I almost don't own all of the plot either. Ofcourse the thoughts given to the characters and some ways of doing things were indeed made up by me.

Well, this site has acted pretty weird lately, which made it impossible for me to update or for people out here to read anything. I hope that changed now and everyone is able to use this site properly again. Also I want to thank the few people who reviewed the previous chapters, I'm glad you still like this fic. Also I have to mention that After I finished this story and the other unfinished stories and a new one i'm working on, i'll stop writing fanfiction about the sailor moon show, simply because I want to try out new things.

Ah enough of my ramblings, here's the final chapter! Enjoy!

Two times the same crime

by

Amnesia nymph

Haruka was now walking towards court through the busy crowd. She knew it would only be a matter of time before Mamoru and his men would find her but she didn't care. She knew that Mamoru would never kill her no matter the danger of any kind of exposure. She just hoped that Michiru would have listened to what she had ordered the smaller girl to do. She may not have really been Michiru's biggest fan from whenever this started but she had learned that Michiru was a good and sweet person. Somehow she hoped to see her again but she knew that would never happen.

Finally Haruka was only one block away from court when she decided to take a faster route and entered a dark alley. But suddenly she stopped walking when she heard a sound behind her. The first thing that came into her mind was to take her gun but she knew better and turned around, facing the black haired man.''Mamoru...''

''Tenoh...'' Mamoru stated, looking around as if he was expecting to see Michiru.

''She isn't here Chiba, she's gone home. Wherever that may be.'' For a moment the black haired cop gazed at the blonde tomboy with a confused look on his face but then smiled evily.

''I'm not stupid Tenoh, while we are talking here she's already heading towards court isn't she? Well let me tell you it would have been a smart thing to do but Taiki and Yaten are already waiting for her there.'' He said, laughing.

''Nope, she really isn't there.'' Haruka replied. From the looks on her face Mamoru could see she was speaking the truth. And even though this should be a relieve for him, somehow it wasn't. If Haruka had let Michiru go, then what as going to happen now? No one would testify?

''And now, you went through all that trouble just for nothing?''

Again Haruka shook her head, feeling tired again. This had indeed been a long day, as she had feared but she knew that soon it would be over.''Not for nothing Chiba. I'm not like you, I won't live with the guilt and secrets anymore. I'll take her place.''

''Minako was right, you were tired when you left the building, It seems it has gotten to you pretty bad. You are saying you're going to testify?'' Mamoru asked, not believing the blonde tomboy but at the same time he was very aware of the possibility for her to actually do it.''And on what hand? You got no proof against us at all. All you have is your word.''

''You'd be suprised...'' Haruka said. Remembering the recorder in her pocket. Every word the man was saying was taped ever since he popped up in this alley.

''Don't be stupid Tenoh, you'll end in jail as well.''

''But for a good price.'' Haruka shot back. ''Maybe i'll be out in two, maybe three years. Plus I didn't kill that dealer, that was you my dear.''

''No one would believe you...'' Mamoru hissed.

''Maybe...'' Haruka said.''Now Chiba, you got a choice. Either you shoot me and kill me or else you'll have no choice but to let me walk into that building behind us. You can still testify as well, maybe you'll get off easy too.''

Mamoru simply shook his head.''No thanks, just go...You won't make it alive...The whole force is looking for you.''

''What?'' Haruka asked, suprised.

Now it was Mamoru's turn to smirk victorious.''Ah you thought I am stupid ? We've been partners for a long time Tenoh. I informed the office that you shot that cop back in the café. I told them you kipnapped Michiru...''

''That's a lie...'' Haruka hissed.

''So ? No one knows that...Only you and me...''

'And this recorder, you damn fool. You should've known me better than that.' Haruka took a deep breath, pretending to look defeated.''It's a risk i'm willing to take. Goodbye...Mamoru Chiba.'' And with that she turned around. It was something Mamoru was familiar with, shooting people who have their backs turned at him but Haruka, she didn't fear to hear that oh so familiar gun shot. She knew she'd make it alive to court.

When Haruka stepped into the huge building, just like Mamoru had predicted, all officers there aimed their guns at her. From the corner of her eye she could see some snipers on top of the stairs. Quickly she put her hands in the air.

''Don't move!'' The men yelled.

''I'm not moving, idiot.'' Haruka hissed, while gazing around, looking if she could see Taiki and Yaten somewhere. Much to her dismay she couldn't find them between the mass of officers.

''Put your hands behind your back, everything you say can and will be...''

''Used against me, I know. And no you're not handcuffing me until i've spoken to the judge!'' Haruka yelled, not obeying the demands of the brown haired officer.

''Fine, get the judge!'' Another officers yelled as she saw two man run away to get the judge.

It took them a few more minutes before the two man, followed by the blue haired judge and Minako, returned.''Haruka what is this?'' Minako asked shocked, gesturing all the officers and snipers to drop their weapons.

''Listen, Minako i'm sorry...'' Haruka started before moving one hand down to reach her pocket. Immidiately all the officers aimed their weapons at her again.''I'm just getting something...'' Haruka hissed. Once again Minako put her full trust in the blonde cop and gestured the men to lower their weapons. Only one sniper decided not to listen and gazed around, wondering if Haruka maybe had the witness with her as well somewhere. But what he found was even more shocking. Behing a huge pilar stood Taiki, who aimed his gun at Haruka.

Then he gazed back at the blonde cop who took a recorder out of her pocket. Just at that time he could hear Taiki yell that Haruka had a gun and was ready to fire but before he could the sniper had already pulled his own trigger, shooting Taiki in the advance. Everyone around Haruka, as well as Haruka, fell down to the ground, looking around and wondering what just had happened.

''I fired that shot!'' The sniper yelled, confirming his story by pointing at Taiki who fell down to the ground with a small hole in his forehead.

''Where's the witness?'' Judge Mizuno asked the blonde tomboy.

''She isn't here, i'm taking her place instead.'' Haruka stated.

''Haruka...?'' Minako started but was cut off by Haruka.

''Me, officer Chiba and Taiki and Yaten Kou were involved in the murder on that drugs dealer, as well as the the murder on Misaki Company, the biggest corrupt office in whole Japan.''

''You got evidence to support your story?'' Judge Mizuno demanded.

Haruka simply nodded, pressing the play button of the recorder.

Don't be stupid Tenoh, you'll end in jail as well.''

''But for a good price.'' Haruka shot back. ''Maybe i'll be out in two, maybe three years. Plus I didn't kill that dealer, that was you my dear.''

''No one would believe you...'' Mamoru hissed.

''Maybe...'' Haruka said.''Now Chiba, you got a choice. Either you shoot me and kill me or else you'll have no choice but to let me walk into that building behind us. You can still testify as well, maybe you'll get off easy too.''

Mamoru simply shook his head.''No thanks, just go...You won't make it alive...The whole force is looking for you.''

''What?'' Haruka asked, suprised.

Now it was Mamoru's turn to smirk victorious.''Ah you thought I am stupid ? We've been partners for a long time Tenoh. I informed the office that you shot that cop back in the café. I told them you kipnapped Michiru...''

''That's a lie...'' Haruka hissed.

''So ? No one knows that...Only you and me...''

With that she pressed stop, looking at Minako and the blue haired woman. Minako didn't even seem to be disapointed in her, it was more as if Minako was proud of Haruka for coming clean. With that Haruka turned around, knowing Mamoru would stand there.

He just stood there, staring right into her green eyes with a shocked look on his face.'It's over...' The blonde cop thought to herself with a smile. Even though she'd end up in jail. She still knew she would never regret her decision.

And while all kinds of different thoughts run though everyone's minds, Haruka watched Mamoru get handcuffed before turning around to the brown haired officer who had never left her side, holding up her hands.''Now you can handcuff me...'' He did as he was told and took his handcuffs in his hands, colsing them around Haruka's wrists.

Two years later

----

Closing her eyes, listening to the sounds of the birds and trees outside Haruka followed the two cops who escorted her to the outside of the prison. She was finally free. After two years of sharing a cell with someone she had locked up many years ago, she was finally free. Free to do and free to go to wherever she wanted. Well unless she planned to leave the country, she still wasn't allowed to do that. But Minako had visited her many times in jail and had promised her that as soon she was out of here she'd get her job back.

Haruka smiled at the memory. After all Minako only was a simple cop like she once was but since Minako had a relationship with the boss that run the office...Well let's just say it made things a lot easier for her. Haruka finally opened her eyes when she heard the gate open.

At first she thought her eyes were decieving her but after blinking a few times, Haruka knew it wasn't a hallucination. In front of her stood Michiru, holding flowers in her hands. She was wearing a strapless dress that just reached her knees. Her haired was pulled up to a pony tail. During the two years that Haruka had been in jail she hadn't seen Michiru. Not like she expected the smaller girl to visit her or anything, but just like she hadn't expected that, she had expected seeing Michiru here either.

''Michiru...''

The aqua haired girl just smiled and closed her eyes for a moment. She had two years to think about this and she had finally come to a decision. When Haruka had kissed her two years back, she had felt something. Not anger, not friendship. She had felt love. The only thing she had to hope now was that Haruka had felt it as well.

''I guess you were wrong...'' Michiru started, looking at the ground.''The last time we saw eachother you told me that we would probably never see eachother again. Well Here I am Haruka...''

''I see that.'' The blonde stated, hearing the two officers walk away.''I'm glad you proved me wrong...''

''You are?''

''Mhh, yes.'' Finally Michiru gazed up, staring right into Haruka's eyes. For a moment they just got caught up in the moment. And then...

Michiru just ignored all the voices and doubts she was holding and run into Haruka's arms. Holding the blonde close.''I'm so sorry I didn't visit. I wanted to but I wasn't allowed to. They said it could be dangerous...I really wanted to...''

She was interrupted by Haruka who placed a finger on the smaller girl's lips.''Sshh Michiru, it's okay. I understand.'' With that she replaced her finger with her own lips. Kissing the aqua haired girl just like she had done two years ago. It was almost the same, but this time the kiss was more passionate. It showed more feelings. It showed how much they had missed eachother during their time of being apart from eachother.

It was strange, they had only known eachother for less than two hours and still, still they had been able to fall in love. Haruka had never admitted it but in this life their was indeed something like being destined to meet someone you can call the one, love at first sight, it didn't sound so foolish anymore.

Finally they parted again, looking into eachothers eyes once more.''So you're willing to date someone like me?'' Haruka asked, remembering that she indeed had told Michiru about her corrupt times as a cop.

'' I don't know...'' Michiru replied, but the the smile on her face told Haruka otherwise.''I can't remember being asked to date someone like you...''

''In that case, Michiru...Even though we don't know eachother all that well. Are you willing to be my girlfriend?''

''Only if you accept to be mine...''

''I accept...'' Haruka whispered hoarsely before bending down to kiss Michiru again. Now she was out of jail she had all the time of the world to get to know Michiru. Life had given her a second chance, she wouldn't let it pass again.

The end...
