Be Mine Tonight

- Torn -

At first Michiru's eyes widened in shock, how dare Haruka touch her? But when Haruka started to caress her lips, Michiru was defeated, drowned in the passion. The racer leaned over and kissed Michiru passionately, sliding her warm tongue into her mouth. All the longing of the last 3 years welled up inside Michiru. But when Haruka started to slid her hands over Michiru's body, caressing her through the silk fabric of her dress, the violinist's rationality surfaced back up and clear her dazed mind.

With a huge force she pushed the blonde racer off her.

"What d'you think you're doing?!" guilty tears had welled up in aqua-haired girl's eyes as she stared in disbelief at Haruka. The thought of cheating behind her Yuka's back brought more tears to her eyes, but most of it was caused by the hurt she had kept down inside her heart for losing Haruka.

"Doing the thing I should've done a long time ago" Haruka leaned forward for another kiss, but Michiru turned away and reach for the door. Unfortunately, the racer had locked the car.

"open it" Michiru said quietly with her back to the blonde

"no"

"open it!"

"no!" Haruka's voice was louder than Michiru's making the smaller girl flinch "not until you listen to what I've got to say"

"there's nothing more to say" tears had started making itself down the beautiful face. Haruka, apparently, was oblivious of the silent crying. The blonde racer was desperate, and in one swift motion she turned Michiru around to face her. And quite a shock she got when she saw the smaller girl was in tears. The unbeatable racer was speechless; she didn't expect her drastic action to affect the girl this strongly "Michiru…"

"don't make this even harder for me, please…" Michiru's glistening eyes were pleading to the blonde; it hurt her so much to see the usually calm woman to cry.

"I love you Michiru, and I haven't stop loving you since then" the racer desperately said to the violinist, who was avoiding her eyes again "and don't lie to me, I know you still love me the same way as you used to"

"So what?" muffled voice came out as Michiru wiped her tears on her sleeve "so what if I still love you? What different would it make?"

This conversation is getting nowhere; Michiru's making it hard for the blonde to speak out her mind.

"Look at me, please" Michiru was surprised to hear the blonde's tone to soften, but when she looked up her body froze in shock, transfixed as Haruka's bottomless eyes moved haltingly up to look at her own, and she could see a deep, deep pain inside them before the racer promptly closed them. Silence filled the air as the violinist waited anxiously for what the other had to say.

"I'm sorry for hurting you" Haruka said at last, biting her lip to stop her tears from falling "I'm sorry for making you take all the burden by yourselves all these years. I really do. These past years had been hell to me; I can't stop thinking about you. I can't stop blaming myself for being so weak that I had to lose you over some stupid rumors" Michiru remembered with a pang of the incident.

"But I won't ever let that happen again" teal eyes shone with honesty and love only for the aqua-haired girl to see "I wont let you shoulder everything alone ever again, I'll be there with you whatever happens. We can start all over again, together. Please come back to me, Michiru. I can't stand it anymore, I still love you"

The violinist was really touched by the blonde's confession, she really wanted to accept the apologies and return to those safe arms of hers. But she knows she cant, no matter how much Michiru loves Haruka, she can't do it. Tears had stop flowing now. But the girl was torn between the decisions. Losing her best friend and gaining her lover or losing her lover to her best friend? This is too much for one day.

"What about Yuka-san?" the violinist voiced out her guilt

"I don't love her" came Haruka's not-so-helping reply

"Why did you go out with her in the first place?"

"I tried to move on, but that proved to be impossible. I still love you from the bottom of my heart, Michiru"

Pregnant pause filled the air. Haruka nervously fiddled with a hole in the driver's seat waiting for Michiru's reply. The wind blows softly.

"I can't do this" Michiru pulled open the lock and quickly got out of her car before anything more happens.

"I love you Michiru! Please don't leave me" Haruka's hand on her wrist stopped her from making any further move outside the car "I need you" . Michiru's eyes welled up with tears again as she wrenched her wrist lose and ran away from the spot, leaving tears in her wake. Haruka stared helplessly after the crying girl. She knows really well that the violinist really loves her, but why is she hesitating? The racer had told her that she didn't love Yuka, isn't that enough for her?

A thought came over the blonde's mind as determination shone on her eyes.

"I will make you mine again, Michiru" she said through the night "whatever the costs"

"Tadaima"

"Okaerinasai" Mrs. Kaioh stood up to greet her daughter at the front door. She can't wait to see her princess smile after she got back from her shopping spree. The girl had been sad and sullen since several weeks ago and almost spent every night crying, though she doesn't know the reason why.

What a shock the older woman received when Michiru passed her without a word.

"Michiru?" the woman wondered as she had saw for a second, her daughter was in tears. Did something happened to Michiru?

Her question was not answered when she heard the young violinist slammed the door of her bedroom shut, loud sobbing can be heard from inside the room.
