Chapter two: High Speed Chase

--

"Mamo' please." Usagi pleaded. They had made the mistake of walking past one of her favorite comic book stores and she just had to go inside.

Mamoru tried to get out of it by saying no, but the younger girl wouldn't have it. As usual she pulled out her "You don't care about me," gig that got him every time and Haruka sighed as she ended up inside with the two.

The blonde female looked around the store as Usagi dragged Mamoru around acting as if she had no home training what so ever.

"Please Odango," Mamoru said. "Not so hard."

Haruka shook her head and continued her own browsing. There was nothing in the place that particularly interested her.

"I'm going next door guys pick me up on your way out." Haruka said on her way out. There was an auto parts store next door and she promised herself she wouldn't buy anything and just peek inside for a little bit.

As always the blonde got excited when her eye's rested on all the shiny pieces of car parts.

"I'm in Heaven!" Haruka purred happily.

"Grease monkey!" The guy from behind the counter called out.

"Hey Lucky," She said in greeting. He called her grease monkey because she often came into his shop to buy spare parts, when she was in the middle of working on her cars, covered from head to toe in grease.

"You lookin' clean, I guess you just came in here to look around?" He said.

"Yeah." Haruka said. "I'll be back though I need some more nitro."

"I thought you left the underground racing scene," He said.

"I did for a while," She admitted. "And then things got boring."

"I don't understand how you could get bored." He said. "With the money you make doing that you should be able to endlessly entertain yourself."

"That money goes into my cars, you know that." She said looking at some parts for fuel cells.

"Yeah," He said with a grin. "Makes me damn rich."

"Be happy while you can," Haruka said. "I might retire soon."

"Bullshit!" Lucky laughed.

"I'm serious," Haruka said looking over at him from over her shoulder. "While I'm at the top of my game."

He stopped laughing and looked at her trying to get a good reading.

"I still don't believe it," He mumbled.

"You'll see," she said. "I've come in first place in every prestigious race except one and after I bring home the cup I'm done."

"Well then," Lucky said. "Enjoy it. That cup'll come way quicker than you think it will."

"I got those piston rings in if you still need them," He said opening the glass case in front of him.

"Yeah, how much?" She asked getting ready to pull out her wallet.

"On the house grease monkey," He said throwing a pack to her.

"Thanks." She said pocketing the pack.

"No problem." He said.

"Haruka!" Usagi called from outside the shop.

"I'll see ya later Lucky." She said making her way outside.

"What'd you buy?" Mamoru asked.

"I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything while I was in there." Haruka said.

"Yeah right," Mamoru laughed. "Really what'd you get."

"A pack of piston rings." She said.

"Why does he sell those?" Mamoru asked.

"Remote control cars use them." She explained.

"Please stop with the car talk?" Usagi pleaded. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Haruka and Mamoru laughed at their confused friend and offered to buy her dinner to help clear her mind.

She gladly excepted. She was always up for food.

"Why do I have to suffer through this?" Hotaru said watching as all the people from the nearby circus decided to grace them with their presence.

"Ah come on," Michiru grinned. "They're fun!"

"They're a headache." Hotaru said, "if there wasn't anything more annoying than one clown it was a group of them." Hotaru thought.

"Sheesh..." Hotaru said

"Lighten up," Michiru said. "You're just mad Setsuna managed to get out of having lunch with us."

"She hasn't gotten out of anything..." Hotaru said disgruntled. "She could undeniably tell how unhappy I was."

"She's not afraid of you?" Michiru asked with a giggle.

"Not me," Hotaru clarified. "Having to sleep in the guest bedroom is her fear."

"That's scary." Michiru said finishing off her fourth glass of water.

"You're going to kill yourself like that." Hotaru said. Michiru shrugged.

---

Haruka whistled as she walked into the hotel Mamoru was staying at. It was a lot nicer than some of the hotels she'd stayed in. Big white walls, covered with beautiful paintings done by talented artists, and a nice red carpet complimented the floor. In her opinion this place was way to expensive but she guessed this is why most people came to hotels. To make themselves feel special. She looked over at Mamoru who was whispering something into Usagi's ear.

The younger girl blushed but didn't respond and Haruka rolled her eyes, "this was getting ridiculous." Haruka thought.

She looked around and silently wondered where all these circus performers came from, but she didn't spend too much of her time on it as they walked to the elevator.

It was then something or someone to be correct caught her eye. There in the dining area amongst the crowd of circus performers, was a woman that Haruka recognized as Setsuna's girlfriend Hotaru. The young woman was sitting across from her afternoon companion. A beautiful woman who to Haruka looked just like her Michiru.

"It couldn't be..." Haruka said trying not to openly stare.

Haruka moved through the crowd to try and take a closer look at this girl...

She had to be sure it wasn't a dream and she wasn't somehow hallucinating after the missed call that she had from her lover earlier in the day. She didn't want her to notice that she was peeking, but she really couldn't see the aqua haired girls face.

Haruka turned around, sighed and began walking back out of the dining room area in order to head towards the elevator in the hallway where her friends were undoubtedly waiting for her.

"Although I doubt that they'd notice if I was gone or not." Haruka thought as she saw how flirty they were with each other.

--

Michiru casually wiped her hands on her napkin, before the feeling of someone staring at her made her look around. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a tall blonde, with beautiful eye's that caught her attention. At that moment she knew exactly who she was looking at and could barely believe her eyes.

"I'll be back." She said standing up.

"Highly unlikely," Hotaru said. "Breakfast tomorrow then?"

"You're on." She said looking past the raven haired girl as the blonde was making steady progress away from her.

Michiru tried to walk as casually through the doors that led to the hallways as calmly as possible, unfortunately it wasn't working as she stepped out into the hall filled with circus performers getting ready to go god knows where.

Michiru saw the other girl through the thick crowd and stood almost as if frozen when the blonde haired girl looked her in the eyes from her place on the other side of the performers.

---

Haruka turned around just in time to see the aqua haired girl she stared at a minute ago look at her.

The two women locked eyes, and the young blonde instantly knew in her heart that it was Michiru. Haruka stood frozen and doubted her ability to look away from her if she tried.

What she couldn't understand was why the other girl frowned and took off in the opposite direction. Running through the double doors that lead outside the hotel.

"Hey guy's" Haruka said. "you're gonna have to excuse me for a moment. I have to go!" Haruka quickly explained to Usagi and Mamoru as she started running after Michiru.

Both Mamoru and Usagi, looked stupefied, while seeing Haruka quickly give chase, dodging the many more performers and waiters who were suddenly pouring out into the hallway unintentionally getting in her way, while she went out through the double doors Michiru went out of.

"Wait!" Haruka called out while running after her. "Stop!"

It was dark outside in the night while she was running away from the hotel and straight after Michiru. Seeing her climb that mountain she knew that she had to get to her fast before she missed her chance.

Climbing up the hill after Michiru, Haruka fell on her face as she raced trying to keep up with the other girl.

"Shit!" Haruka screamed as she got up, mud covering her face and her jeans. Wiping a little mud off herself while she still climbed higher to only now see Michiru racing towards a balcony.

---

The young girl pretended not to here her as she ran. The ground Michiru ran on began to slope and she stumbled on her way up.

She could hear Haruka behind her, it was nice to know that the hill they were climbing was also taking a toll on the athlete. Michiru picked up her pace as she made it back into the side of the hotel that held her room.

"Hold it!" Haruka heard before a large hand grabbed her by the back of her shirt and pulled her backwards. The guard stood solidly in front of her but he didn't let her shirt go.

"Please let me through! I need to talk to her!" Haruka begged fighting the guards grip. "Please! Just for a minute and then I'll leave her alone, I promise."

"Yeah sure little buddy," He said. "why don't you run along now and stop bothering people."

"Where the hell did you come from anyway?" Haruka grunted.

She didn't think it was cool that miscellaneous bodyguards seemed to pop out of the ground like daisy's.

"Only thing that matters is where you're going," The large guard grunted. "and that's away from here."

"Look, I just need to talk to Michiru, please..." Haruka begged "I wont go near her, you can stay right where you are,"

"No chance little buddy," The guard said. "we get wacko's like you here all the time.

"Just let me say what I have to say and then I'll back off and leave. I promise."

The bodyguard grunted more as he let go of the blonde and stood in front of her with his arms crossed. Always keeping an eye on the small blondes movements.

---

Michiru stopped, looking up at her balcony, she knew that there was no way to try to climb it and it was stupid for her to try in all cases.

"I'd just fall on my ass if I actually tried," Michiru thought with a small groan

Even though the Guard and Haruka didn't know it, she was paying attention to the conversation that they were having.

Haruka tried desperately to get the guard to allow her passage but to no avail was denied.

"Michiru!" Haruka called out "I'm sorry! Please stop running."

Michiru stood quietly listening to her sad love.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry that I didn't call you back." Haruka continued seeing the other woman was paying attention to her. "I tried picking up the phone but when I did I missed it."

When the she didn't respond Haruka continued from her position over the guards shoulder.

"I'm sorry and if you don't want to talk to me again," Haruka began sadly "I just wanted to tell you that...I love you...I'm sorry...I'll leave you alone now..."

At hearing Haruka's words, Michiru slowly and calmly turned around to look at Haruka's face, glaring at the girl with cold eyes that had such a deep hurt in them. Seeing Michiru look at Haruka like that made the blondes eyes widen.

She gasped, and it felt as if her heart had been stabbed and stopped for a few seconds, seemingly having broken a little inside.

She knew...

Haruka knew at that moment that she hurt her and that Michiru was really upset with her.

Slowly she backed away from the bodyguard after apologizing once more to her beloved Michiru.

The tall blonde turned around, left the hotel and made her way through the dark streets to her lonely destination….

Home.
