Be Mine Tonight

- Painful Reality -


"Michiru-san!"

"hai?" Michiru turn around gracefully, seeing a brunette running at her "what is it, Yuka-san?"

It has been 3 years since the chaos that had changed a great deal in Michiru's life happened. She was now in a university in Hokkaido, which is a faraway place from Tokyo, where she had left her old life, her problems, her Haruka all behind. She hadnt been in contact from anyone in Tokyo, not that she needs it.

The violinist had changed quite a lot, in appearance. Her hair's slightly longer but she still had that beautiful charm over her, like she always do. Boys were falling head over heels for her, but since she left Haruka, she doesn't start any new relationship. She still loves the blonde racer from the bottom of her heart.

The brunette who was running towards her slipped suddenly, lost her balance and fell down with a thud.

Michiru went over to the girl, who grinned goofily back at her, telling her that she's alright. The violinist smiled, Yuka's action were reminding her of a certain 'Tsukino Usagi' back in Tokyo.

"So, what were you telling me?" Michiru asks again as she helped the brunette up.

Yuka fluff dust off her clothes as several passer-by laughed, having seen her clumsiness. As they were near the gate, there were many students who was rushing home, saw the accident.

"Ano..I was wondering" for some reason Yuka was blushing "er, you know that guy I've told you about?"

"Ah…" Michiru smiled pleasantly "the one in the Technical Engineering? So, are you two going out at last?"

Yuka blushed furiously and nod "and um, I…I want you to meet him. you're my best friend after all"

After Michiru moved to Hokkaido, Yuka was the first friend she'd met. And now she'd become her closest friend throughout the years.

"I'm honored…" the aqua-haired girl made the brunette glowed "when am I going to meet him? and, how come you raise the subject now? I thought you guys knew each other for about a month, right?"

"well, you are busy with your career, I don't want to interfere. so c'mon!" Yuka took Michiru's hand and drag her towards the gate, both laughing.

"There he is" Yuka excitedly, nodding at a guy that was leaning on the steel bars just in front of their university. Michiru realized, as they got closer, that this figure were oddly familiar.

The messy blonde locks, the dolphin ring on his left hand that glinted by the sunlight, how come it looks so familiar?

Michiru's eyes widened as Yuka halted to a stop.

"what took you so long, Yuka?" a familiar husky voice speak out as the guy straightened up, looking at the 2 girls, before frozen wide eyed at his sight.

"Michiru, meet Tenoh Haruka" Yuka said happily as she took Haruka's right arm "he's my boyfriend!"

The violinist dropped her scetch book out of shock "Haruka…" she muttered softly, eyes not leaving the teal eyes she'd known so much.

"Michiru?" Yuka asks worriedly, disengaging herself gently from Haruka, who was lost at words.

"I-I'm sorry" Michiru mumbled, gathering her scetch book and straightened up again, not meeting Haruka's gaze "I-I've got something to do…" and ran away from the spot. Good thing her ride had parked up at the exact same time, so she had a reason to get away from here. This is all to much for her, as old tears fell down again, after 3 years of trying to give her up, Haruka appeared again in her life. But they're in different position now, Haruka doesn't belong to her anymore.

"I am so sorry!"

"Yuka-san?" Michiru looked suprisingly at the brunette, who turn up at her art class after it ended, bowing and apologizing endlessly since the last ten minutes "what do you mean?"

"I didn't know he was your ex-boyfriend" Michiru's heart clenched hard at this statement as she remembered yesterday's painful event, old memories flashed on her mind "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have brought him here"

Michiru mused at the fact that Yuka didn't know about Haruka's real identity, they've been going out for a month after all.

"that's okay…" Michiru said with a smile, assuring the tearful brunette "I- I was just surprised, that's all…"

Yuka looked up at the aqua-haired girl "d'you forgive me?"

Michiru nod, against her will "of course, why shouldn't I?"

"so, you're not against us dating then?" Yuka stares at the violinist's eyes "is it okay with you?"

Michiru's heart clenched even more painfully at this. After all these years, she hadnt stop loving Haruka, she missed her so. Her feelings for her hasn't fade away, but now in front of her, her very best friend is saying that she was going out with Haruka, her Haruka. The aqua-haired girl was saddened by the fact that Haruka had move on so quickly, finding someone else to replace her, and took her special place. But then again, she cant really blame the racer, it IS her fault all of this happened anyway. Haruka deserve someone better, someone who wont drag her down from her dreams.

"Michiru? Are you alright?"

Michiru snapped out of her reverie "ah…yes. I'm fine"

Yuka looked up hopefully at Michiru, for some reason the violinist wondered what is the brunette doing. And she realized with a pang about the question the brunette asked her.

"yes, sure. I don't mind you going out with him. He's a wonderful person after all" the violinist smiled as heart was torn to pieces. She wanted to cry and scream, but her pride knows better.

Yuka glowed and hugged the aqua-haired girl "thank you!" she said happily "you're my bestest best friend in the whole wide world!"

Michiru can only smile sadly as the brunette left in a hurry as the bell rang.

"If only I can be the friend you thought I was…" tears fell down her face as the violinist took out her necklace, which were hidden beneath her clothes. At the end of the necklace wasn't a pendant, instead it was the blue dolphin ring Haruka had gotten her at the festival. The both of them had the matching pair and Michiru saw the blonde were still wearing it after all this years.

"Am I doing the right thing?" she clutched the ring tightly as more tears fell down her face "Haruka…"
