Lyrics
"Silence is coming!"
"Aishiteru yo, Haruka"
Haruka jolted from her sleep. Her room was dark; the moonlight was unable to penetrate through the curtains she had placed.
'I don't have to save the world; it's done nothing for me. People like my father, and Kari don't deserve to be saved, even if it's my duty, I refuse it and no one can change my mind'
But then the aqua-haired girl passed through her mind
'Why does Kaiou Michiru do it? What is so important to her that she must save the world for it?'
A phone rings.
Haruka picks it up, the ID unknown
"Hello?"
"Hey Haruka-san, guess what! You've just been invited to a cruise by the president of the Formula-One Japanese team president!"
It was Tanada Hiroto, one of the engineers for her race car. Ever since she won in at a rookie event and beat the world record, she was quickly becoming popular. She was snapped back to the conversation when Hiroto mentioned the cruise again
"…and you'll never guess who's playing! Kaiou Michiru, you know, the girl whose violin album broke every record ever set in the world! She's also the main sponsor of the cruise and I hear she was at the track the other day looking for you!"
"Stop telling me lies, like that Hiroto-san."
"Ok, so that last one was a lie, but I think she's interested in you! You told me you met her before back when you ran, and is it just a coincidence that she-"
Hiroto was cut off, as Haruka placed the phone back on the receiver.
'Of course, why else would the President want to contact me? She probably manipulated him into the cruise and is using him to get to me…very well; I'll play her twisted game'
She turned to her closet
'But what will I wear?'
"Tennou-san, it's nice to finally meet you! I am Harada Daichi, president of the Japanese F-1 racing team. Please, sit down." A large, heavy-set man beckoned to a chair, as Haruka walked towards him in a tuxedo she had taken from Hiroto.
"Arigato Harada-sama, it's nice to meet you too. I was surprised when I first heard you wanted to meet me, do you mind telling me why?"
"Right down to business, aren't you, Tennou-kun? Well, when I first saw you race, I knew you were going to be great, and when you broke the record for the rookie race, I knew I just had to have you on my team. You realize what this offer means, right? You could become the Japan's first junior racer!"
Inwardly, Haruka felt elated. The President hadn't been manipulated, he just loved her racing. This was the opportunity she was waiting for, not only would she be paid to do something she loved, but also the President had recognized her as a boy. Handsome men who raced always earned the most money and received the best contracts because they had more popularity than most others.
"Harada-sama, I would be honored to join your team, just tell me where to sign."
"Excellent! I knew you would join us, Haruka-kun. Now I must leave you, there's a young woman over there who would love to dance with me. Enjoy the rest of your evening!"
As he left, the lights dimmed and a stage was illuminated. On the stage, a grand piano was placed, and as the lights grew brighter on the stage, a lone figure came to stand next to it, elegant in a white dress, aqua hair contrasted with a pearl necklace and a rose placed in the center of her neckline.
'Beautiful'
Michiru walked onto the stage, her nerves jittery. Never had she been this excited or anxious to play and these feelings intensified as she spotted Haruka at a table. Slowly, she slides the bow against the strings, starting with piano and then a crescendo to mezzo-forte. She let her music flow out of her soul, making it soft and soothing, beckoning to Haruka, lightly wrapping notes around Haruka's form. A chair scooted across the deck, she could tell without looking, that it was Haruka. As she opened her eyes, she caught the back of Haruka's tuxedoed form leaving through the art gallery door.
'You're an idiot Haruka! Calling Michiru beautiful does not help me at all. She's nothing to me, nothing, remember? I can't let my guard down around her, or else…'
Haruka walked down the red velvet stairs, until a painting caught her out of the corner of her eye. A city lies in ruins against a stormy sky, as a tidal wave approached, certain destruction.
"Did you find it to your liking?" Michiru sat against the stair railing "Thank you for coming here tonight, Tennou Haruka-san, the prodigious racer."
Still staring at the painting, Haruka replied
"You seem to know quite a bit about me…This piece…did you paint it?"
Disregarding her comment, Michiru continued her speech
"You're rather famous. There are a lot of your freakish fans at my school as well…one of them is a girl"
She flipped her hair over her shoulder
"But she says she still wants to go cruising along the beach in your car."
Haruka made a sound of acknowledgement,
"The end of the world, huh? I'm surprised that a well-to-do girl who can't even kill one bug can draw such a tragic fantasy."
"It's not a fantasy! I can see THAT scene clearly! Just like you can…"
Haruka turned a piercing gaze on Michiru, as Michiru stood up
"This is stupid" Haruka's words came out angrily, as she remembered the dreams
"I'm Haruka Tennou, the first junior racer in Japan. Memories of my previous life or the end of the world have nothing to do with me. If someone has to do it, then YOU can do it. I would like you to stop investigating me like that, though"
Michiru's hands clenched together as she compared Haruka's harsh words to the one's she had heard from her previous life. Since she had started fighting, the imminent doom had made her more serious about what she had to do, and the cost of her failure. She spoke
"Don't say such selfish things like that! I don't want to do it either, I also have a dream"
She wanted to tell Haruka of her dreams of them being together, but at the last second, changed her mind. She wanted Haruka to feel akin to her in some way
"To become a violinist…I can't do something stupid like saving the world from destruction!"
They stared at each other, Haruka's eyes searching for a weakness, Michiru's for a sign.
The stare down was broken when an usher came in to collect Michiru for an encore performance.
Haruka walked beside the mechanic garages, her race starting in ten minutes. The last week was filled with training, and exhaustion had relieved her from the dreams. As her mind drifted back to the encounter on the cruise, which had happened two weeks ago, she couldn't shake Michiru's eyes from her mind. As she passed an open garage, she heard a sound emerge from it. Ducking into the garage, she asked
"Is someone there?"
A boy crouched in the corner, muttered in pain
"Help me…"
She ran towards him, and knelt
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"Help me…"
Haruka was pushed back as an inhuman creature pushed its way out of the boy and consumed him
"What!?"
A creature straight from a horror movie roared at her as she leaped back.
"You monster!" She grabbed a pipe to swing at him but the memory of the boy stopped her. She couldn't hurt the monster without hurting the boy too.
The creature lunged at her, knocking her to the ground, and the pipe was hurled away from her. She was defenseless. It started to lunge again, but before it could, a bright light filled the area and a weird looking wand appeared. Haruka went to grab it, feeling it call to her, when
"Don't do it!"
The wand dropped to the ground, as Haruka turned away from it. There was Michiru
"Don't grab that. Once you grab a hold of it, you will never return to mundane life."
Michiru held up a similar wand in her hand, and was transformed.
Haruka gaped as Michiru was changed into the uniform she wore in her dreams.
Sensing Haruka's distraction, the creature lunged again, this time to be swatted aside by Michiru and crashed into the wall.
Regaining her senses, Haruka ran over between Michiru and the monster.
"You can't! He was human until just a few minutes ago! Are you alright doing this? This is murder!"
Michiru replied, voice dull
"The Silence is approaching. If I don't do this, there will be even more victims!"
Haruka couldn't understand how this girl could live like this
"Are you saying that's why you don't care how you accomplish it!?"
"That's right! I don't care what means I use!"
"Are you really satisfied-"
The monster sprang from the wall, and reared to attack a frozen Haruka
"Watch out!"
Michiru sprang towards Haruka, and shielded her from the attack. Pained tore at her as she bore Haruka to safety. It came at them again
"Deep Submerge!"
She attacked it, but was hindered by her injury, and couldn't gather enough energy for a killing blow. However, the power she had garnered was enough and the creature was pushed back into the boy.
Michiru sank towards the floor.
Haruka scrambled towards her and gathered her in her arms.
Michiru gritted out words as her mind registered the pain from her wound and opened her eyes
"Where's the monster?"
"He turned back into a human. He's alright." Haruka spoke in gentle tones, as she replayed her rescue in back of her mind
Michiru avoided Haruka's gaze
"I might have killed him. No, next time I'm sure I'll kill…It's not that I'm fine with it. But I am a soldier… because I chose to do this."
"Then why did you cover for me just now?" Haruka's mind was filled with questions "If you hurt your hand, you won't be able to become a violinist." She had misjudged Michiru badly
Michiru turned her tear-filled gaze towards Haruka
"I was watching you in your first race from close by. I wanted to cruise along the beach in your car, just once."
Haruka couldn't tear her eyes away
Something in your eyes makes me wanna lose my self
Makes me wanna lose my self
"You don't rely on anyone at all…"
Michiru continued, her eyes never leaving Haruka's, and became conscious of Haruka's arms around her.
In your arms
"And you are always honest with your feelings"
Haruka was entranced
Theres something in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
She interrupted
"I'm not honest at all
Michiru smiled, knowing that past Haruka had once said the same thing to her
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along,
And change my life the way you've done.
"I keep running away"
"I know about you more than you do"
'You've changed my life Haruka and you don't even know it'
"Because I've always been watching you…you are the one person that I didn't want to see walking the same path that I did…but when I realized you were the one, I was happy…" A tear dropped from her eye "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell you all this…I'm sorry"
Haruka turned her eyes from Michiru's as she fell into unconsciousness. There on the floor lay the wand.
She wrapped Michiru in her jacket, and then lifted Michiru, expecting her to be heavy, but she was lighter than air.
'I cannot let her do this by herself'
She took the wand from the floor and placed it in her pocket.
Straightening, she held Michiru close to her and carried her out of the garage
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
She knew she was making the right decision. Never had anything felt so right.
"Haruka-san! You're late for your first race! The President is so mad at you!" Hiroto yelled at her as she passed him.
Then the President appeared
"Tennou-san, considered our contract canceled! If you even show your face near me, I will have you forcibly removed!"
She disregarded them, all she saw was Michiru.
A window breaks down a long dark street,
And a siren wails in the night.
But I'm all right, 'cause I have you here with me.
And I can almost see through the dark there's light.
Michiru woke halfway to Haruka's car.
'This feeling…this warmth…this is true love'
If you knew how much this moment means to me,
And how long I've waited for your touch.
If you knew how happy you are making me --
I've never thought I'd love someone so much
Haruka placed Michiru into her car and asked in a gentle teasing voice
"Where to, milady?"
Still tired, Michiru answered with her eyes shutting
"Home"
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me,
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
…cute enough? (Joking, actually if anyone's interested, I'll make a fluffy one-shot, just ask!)
Song was Feels Like Home-Chantal Kreviazuk (not Bonnie Raitt, was an error, sorry!)
