Hi guys! Sorry, this one took a little longer! But I've had a lot of boy drama lately and I just broke up with my boyfriend…enjoy though :D This one is short and different than the other chapters but I hope you like it. Happy that Michiru is the first word you see? I told you you would get her back!


Michiru's eyes were stained with sadness and hopelessness. Haruka had told this story with such tenderness, such sadness, such love in her voice. How could Michiru make her happy after she knew that Haruka would always have someone else buried deep in her soul? She couldn't compare to the flawless Shinju. Tears were in both of their eyes. Haruka was sobbing with her head in her knees at the old memories.


"I'm sorry Michiru. I'm so sorry that you have to see me like this." Her forest green eyes were sparkling with grief.

Michiru shook her head as she stared straight ahead. She dared not to look into Haruka's eyes for what she might see. "You still love her don't you Haruka? If you still love her why did you kiss me just now? Why did you say you wanted to be with me if you still love her?" Michiru was losing control of her voice. She was screaming now. "You still love her! You lied when you said those things about us being together!"

Haruka shook her head frantically. "Michiru don't do this."

Michiru forced herself to get off of the bed even though she wanted to grab Haruka and kiss her and apologize for everything she said and comfort her with all of her heart. "I don't want to be with you. I wish I would have never come here." Michiru's cheeks were bright red. I can't do this to Haruka. What are you doing Michiru? Stay and let her explain. But Michiru's feet were fighting hard against her mind.

Haruka's eyes widened. "No, Michiru you don't understand—"

But it was too late. Michiru was already gone. Haruka raced out the door but she couldn't see anything. It was too dark and there was heavy rain pouring down. "Michiru! Michiru wait please come back! You don't understand! Michiru where are you?!"

Haruka got into her car and drove down the street racing around. She drove to Michiru's house and jumped out of the car. I'll wait here until Michiru comes home. Then I'll explain that I had to tell her this story.

Haruka sat on the bottom step and squinted as she tried to find some figure in the rain. Oh Michiru, where are you?


Michiru blubbered as she ran. She couldn't stop crying. Why did I do that? You did it because Haruka just lead you on and lied to you. No, Shinju's dead now. Haruka and I can be happy. Michiru's mind was racing and her heart was aching.

Michiru ran until her wounds forced her to stop. She dragged herself under the protection of a huge tree and wraped her arms around herself. I know that Haruka will be at my house. I'm sorry Ruka, but I can't handle knowing that I can never fully be yours, you still love Shinju.


Haruka was pacing back and forth. What is her problem? I don't understand, I didn't even get to finish telling her my story. Why did I tell her that after everything that she did for me? I didn't know that she would take it so hard. But I had to get it off of my chest. I've never told anyone about that, except Aunt Kohana. I can't lose her, I love her. Michiru please come back so I can explain everything. Michiru blinked into the rain and darkness as she began to panic. What if Haruka goes over to my house and asks for me? What will my mother think if Haruka tells her that she is my girlfriend or something? Oh God Mother is so against that.


Michiru decided to the only place she knew she could still find comfort. She walked slowly trying to figure out what to say while trying to bear the pain of her wounds.


Haruka waited until the sun just peeked from behind the clouds until she left. She knew she had to get out of there before Michiru's mother came outside and saw her or her car.

I'll come back that's all. I'll get all spiffed up and come back and then I can talk to her mother about Michiru.

Haruka raced home with her new plan spinning in her head.


Haruka rang the doorbell and Michiur's mother answered. She frowned at Haruka. "Yes?"

Haruka put a very kind look on her face. "Hi, my name is Haruka Tenoh, I'm a friend of Michiru's is she home?"

Miciru's mother smiled at what she thought was a young man. "I'm sorry she's not but she just called and said she would be home soon would you like to wait for her?"

Haruka smiled. "Well I wouldn't want to impose."

Michiru's mother blushed at the charming young man. "Oh, not at all. I'm just making some tea you must have some."

Haruka sighed with relief. I know that I'll get her back, with all the love I hold in my heart for her I will get her back.

Why doesn't Michiru understand that Haruka loves her ugh! Hahaha just kidding! The story is meant to be written this way, hopefully Michiru will learn that huh? It wouldn't be very happy if she didn't...then again life doesn't always work this way...
