o--Chapter Three
o-- Girlfriend For a Day Part 1
oo-- Present ----------oo
Until then, I was completely happy. Our friendship was something I can't put my hand on, but whatever it is, I was content... are so I thought. After that winter night, when we first sleep together in the same bed. There was not much space between us since the bed was for one person only. The moment our flesh came incontact, a shock of heat waves stunned my body but what was more amazing, I liked it... It was warm, it was soft, it feel just right. That only lasted for a few moment when Ruka broke the contact and turned her back on me as she appologized. Why?...
oo-------------oo
It was a beautiful day like any other, the sun is sunning, the snow is melting, and Ruka is running for her dear life.
" Ruka, come back here with my Bubble! " Michiru furiously screamed as she chased Ruka around the front yard.
" Catch me if you can, " the blond teased while hold tighly onto a blue stuffed bunny in hand. After spending the night, she've found out that Michi wasn't so adult like as she thought. On the outside she may seem all proper and mannered, but behind all that. The girl was a five years old. " Come on Ruka, please ," the shorter girl begged as she let out a long sigh. The blond looked back then at the bunny. She can't stand seeing Michi all depress and groany. " Fine, on one condition, " the racer replied. Michi grinned and then nodded her head. " Become my "girlfriend" for a day..."
oo-------------oo
RING!
" Ruka, can you get it please."
Moaning, the blond got off the coach and made her way across the carpet floor and over to the phone.
" Yes, Tenoh and Kai..."
" Ruka, I've finally found you, where have you been. It been two months and are you forgeting about the wedding! " the girl on the other line demanded.
" Huh? "
" Nagisa! Does the name ring a bell, are did you forget that I'm your fiance, " the girl groaned, " Since you've been gone, your father become seriously ill and a few day ago he passed away. We try to track you down for the funeral but never have any new, until recently news about the F-1 racer living with the talented Violinist in Mugen School show up in the newspaper. Ruka, what's going on with you, I want to know. I want to be a part of your life, don't you understand. " the girl sorrowfully pleased in earness.
" Nagi-Chan, I..." the blond was speechless.
" Well, anyway, did you forget about the wedding. You've made a pledge to marry me in December of Christmas. Oh, I'm so glad to have found you. Mom already arranged everything, the party, the people, and for us, of course, to be there. "
" Nagisa, I'm sorry but I.. can't."
" WHAT! What are you saying, you don't mean that, Ruka-chan !" the girl cried in frantic, " You couldn't, no, did you meet someone else Ruka."
" Well, I, you see..." struggling to explain herself.
" Who is she, I want an explanation for this. Is it that "violinist" "
"..."
" I'm right aren't I, but you should know better then anyone else that I'm not the kind of person to give that easily. "
" No, that's not why I don't want to marry you, it's because..."
" Tomorrow at 2 AM, Cresent Moon Palace and you better bring your so call 'girlfriend' along if you want me to permanately to forget the wedding."
The girl eruptively hung up leaving the unconscious blond with her problem.
" I just want to leave the past behind and be free, that's all, with no commitment. Now what, " the girl moaned as she slammed the phone down.
oo------------------oo
" Ruka, girlfriend ?" the aqua marine blankly questioned.
" Huh! No, it's not what you think. This morning my ex fiance called and well, anyway, that's not the point. Please Michi, just for one day only. If you said no then my whole life is over on the strike of midnight on Christmas Eve. " the girl cried as she wrapped her arms around Michi's leg, " do this and I'll do anything, even clean the whole house or even worst, never play a single joke on you again. Anything, I don't want to get marry!"
" Marry?"
" Yeah, Nagisa called this morning that she still wanted to continue with the wedding, it's a long story, I'll tell you later. Of course I denied but she insisted on it and if I want for it to be over, I need to show her proof. Please Michi, Nagisa is like a parasite. She's the worst of the worst, you should see her in the morning, all grumbby and moody. how do you expect me to live with someone with like for the rest of my life!"
" I see... what about me, I'm moody and grumby in the morning, don't you hate me too, " the blue haired mistress teased.
" No, stupid as sound, it's quite adorable and hilarious as the same time, that wild hair of your..." Ruka was interrupted by a knock on the head.
" Okay, don't get into detail. I'll be your "girlfriend" for a day, but you'll pay dearly, Ruka," the girl retorted as she leave the blond behind.
" Arigato, girlfriend..."
" Huh! "
" For a day..."
" Um... bye honey..."

oo----- Captive Part 1----oo
oo-- Past ----------oo
She opened her eyes to complete darkness. What had happened? One moment she was in the room next to Ruka's getting ready for bed and the next she was chained to a chamber. All she she could remember was hearing voices, husky one, male, and the next, she was nock out, unconsciously. She try to concentrate on her surrounding, but everytime she did, her head ache in pain. Finally her eyes got use to the dim light, there she saw two shadow hovering over her as they make their way over to her. Their eyes began frying on the goddess as they darted from Michi's face down every inch of her slender body. She could heard agreement as they move away from her. Bang. The chamber door slammed shut. overwhelmed with panic, she began crying out for no one in particular. How can did happen to a god, this mission was to be simple, to retrieve the jewel. How could she come face to face with the queen and tell her that she was kidnapped on the first day on Earth. Finally snapping out of her mordifry state.She calmly think over her choices. She was a god for goodness shake. She have power, she can can fly, she can easily free herself from this trap and continue on with her mission. Michi closed her eyes." Mirror, Mirror, set me free!" Nothing happened. Thinking that she must've mess up on something, the aqua marine repeated her please. Now she was in a real panic, not only did she got kidnapped and put in a cell but she somehow lost her angelic power.
oo------------------oo
The aqua-haired girl has now lost all her fighting spirit, it had been enternity since she've heard anything from her capture. The chamber that she was locked in was as opposite as a five start hotel. She can see spider web dangling from the corner wall, small insects crawling all over the place, and what was worst, the cell was extremely freezing. Michiru can only hope she'll have the strength to survive the night.
oo------------------oo
" Father, what do you think you're doing ? " Haruka screamed as he circled around his father waiting for the old man's answer. " Doing the right thing, she's a god is she not ? " the white bearded middle age man cooly replied," I've heard it from Misuki." " Well, she is, but, what give you the right to imprison her like that, she's not a murderer! " " Don't talk back to me young lady, I've had enough of your good natured. Don't you see, the heaven are sending out reinforcement to take back the jewel you've stolen from them. If we don't eliminate every single one of their warrior than you'll be the one to suffer Ruka. I won't let you die that easy, you're the only one of the Tenoh generation left! " " I'm not asking for you to bestow her freedom, what I'm asking is for you to lend her to me for just a few month. I'll make her love me to the point where she'll reveal the secrect to unlock the jewel's power. Please father, only a few month and if I fail...you can do whatever you want with her." " To make her fall in love with you, my child, you are so callow. A god cannot fall in love with a mortal, you should know that better than anyone else." " I know, it was the past, but I'll make this one work out, you just gotta have some trust in me." " Two weeks." " Two month," the blond retorted. " Three week ," the man sipped his tear. " A month, please father, just give me a chance, " the blond pleased as she kneeled down on her knee. " One month, and Ruka, this time, please don't make the same mistake as you did before, " the middle age man finished with his tea as he straighten his shirt collar up, " I'll be leaving tomorrow for a month, and when I come back, you better have the jewel's power under your control, or it'll be our death, Ruka. I trust you, please don't let me down like you did before. " Ruka bowed her head as she retreated out of the room and over to the dungeon.
oo------------------oo
Michi flinched when she heard footstep coming toward her. The guard opened the jail door. Michi whinced as the light splashed over her blinding both her eyes for a brief moment. Michiru, still feeling a bit light-headed, managed to open both her eyes. There Haruka stood, cold and emotionless as ever. In his hand, he clasped tightly on his blade as he stepped closer over to the mermaid goddess. Michi closed her eyes, waiting for the worst...

-----o-----
" Ruka, what do you think you're doing with my butt!'
" Making it my soft pillow, what else?" the blond replied as she squeezed it tighter.
Michi squeaked as she try to kick Ruka off of her.
" I'm calling the cop, you're harassing me, don't treat someone's body like that !"
" Call all you want, I took the liberty to lock every single door and window. You're mine tonight Kaioh Michiru!"
the blond laughted hysterically as she squeezed tighter around Michi's waist.
" HELP! Oh Ruka, are you forgetting something?"
" Huh, what? "
" They're still filming, we're on set."
The blond look up from her position with wide eyes as the Sailor Moon producer and all of the actors and actresses stared intensely at the two.
" Bursted! "
Laughter broke throughout the whole studio.
