AN: Updates, updates, updates. I got Sailor Moon 12 and my Japanese studies are going well.
Guest- Thanks :) I'll tell later in the story why she falls ill, but not yet. I made the Trio weird on purpose which will be revealed later.
FishWolf2215- I can't tell you who the Tenshi sister's are yet. Sorry about that, if I told you I would spoil it for you.
Whiteleg25- Thanks ^^
Michiru saw the morning sun come up. Finally, it was Friday and she could let people see her advice column again. The aqua haired girl stretched and looked at the clock saying it was 5:25 a.m.
Michiru brushed her hair and hummed to herself and changed into her school uniform and ate her breakfast. Her mom had left for work already leaving her note.
Michiru, I won't be home till 8 or so tonight.
I'm going with some friends from work to the tea shop near the mall. Dinner for tonight is the left overs from yesterday, heat it up in the microwave and have a lovely day at school.
Mom.
Michiru shuttered at the idea of the left overs, her famous "soup." It smelled like dirty old gym socks mixed with sweat. She only ate it for her mother's sake, to make her happy.
Michiru finished her breakfast and headed upstairs and brushed her teeth, she ran into her room and grabbed Haruka's school schedule so she could talk to her teachers about the work she was missing. She felt bad her blonde friend, missing all this school.
I wonder why she always falls ill at the start of December? Michiru thought as she felt her heart suddenly beat faster thinking of the blonde. She shook it off and got her coat on and her boots, it wasn't supposedly as cold as yesterday but Michiru slipped on her gloves she got for her 15th birthday from her aunt and ran out the door.
Luckily, she had extra time this morning, it was 6:25 a.m. she ran into town, her boots making a clicking sound just like the other night and her bag over her arm. She ran to the coffee shop and bought a hot chocolate.
"Maybe on Monday I should pack some," Michiru said to nobody as she walked out the coffee shop door. "I love December, maybe when Haruka's better we can see the Christmas lights set up in the park close to our school. They're always so beautiful bouncing off the snow, it looks like a white wonderland."
Michiru's heart started beating fast again and a blush crossed her face. Was she falling in love?
She then heard familiar laughter behind her, it was Natsu, Aki, and Chou giggling. Michiru kept walking, hopefully not knowing it was her. She walked down Elder Street to school, a short cut while the other girls took the long way- Munder Drive.
Michiru drank her hot chocolate and hummed to herself some more hearing the cars drive by her and people talking to each other.
Today was going to be a good day.
Michiru arrived at school and Saku waved to her and Michiru ran up to her.
"Any other info on those kids?" Michiru asked curiously as Saku opened one of the school doors for her friend. "It would be nice to know what's been going on around here. First the high school students, then middle school students."
"Michiru, you know I'm not the kind of person to ask about the stuff," Saku told her. "I only tell you what I hear from others, sort of like a chain. From one cellphone to another, to another, to another and so on."
"Sounds kinda like a virus," Michiru said giggling and going to her locker. The school soon fell dead quiet and Michiru looked towards the brown doors which was the entrance to her school seeing the Tenshi sisters.
"Hi Michiru," Natsu said with a smile waving. "You look cheerful this morning, ready for class?"
All three of the girls wore light jackets and cute white gloves with their school bags. Aki smiled too while Chou just stood there looking off into space at some of the people who gave her weird looks.
"Well, we need to go," Aki said giggling. "Come on girls." Michiru watched them walk away and Saku's jaw was somewhat open, Michiru pushed it back up into place but it fell again and Michiru sweat dropped.
"Those three girls give me the creeps," Michiru said with a frown. "They sound like robots and are just not with it if you get what I mean, right Saku?" Saku nodded.
The bell rang, next was History.
Everyone walked into class, some students were missing. Yuzuru, a blonde boy was missing, Juku was missing, Yuki was missing, and Iwasawa was missing. (Yuki is a name which means snow, and from another anime same as Iwasawa and Yuzuru).
"Hello everyone," the Tenshi sister's said walking in all together in a straight line like army cadets and class fell quiet as Mr. Carlton walked in and began to write on the chalkboard with squeaky chalk- the cheapest chalk ever!
When am I supposed to get Haruka's work? Guess I have no choice but to go at lunch, sorry Saku. I have a task I need to do today.
The day went by sort of quick and Michiru picked up Haruka's missing work which was a lot. She knew the blonde was smart and hopefully had all the knowledge to get all of this work done.
Michiru ran to the newspaper club and saw Mitsuki there, by herself. (Mitsuki's another name from an anime I've seen, it means Full Moon).
"Mitsuki, where is everyone else?" Michiru asked curiously as Mitsuki looked up from organizing some folders and drinking some hot chocolate with whip cream on it.
"I'm guessing sick, I guess it's just the two of us," Mitsuki said. "I got the next batch of letters for you, Michiru. I'm happy you aren't sick, what's the work you got there?" Mitsuki asked pointing to the work in Michiru's bag.
"A friend of mines work she's been missing, she seems to get sick a lot," Michiru said not giving away much information about Haruka since it wasn't really something for her to do.
"That's nice," Mitsuki said with a smile and picked up the letters. There was at least 40 or so, that meant 40 responses due for Tuesday giving Mitsuki enough time to put the paper together.
Michiru took the letters and set them on the brown desk and logged in, she had memorized her password and opened up a typing program and started. This really was something she enjoyed, she wished she would have time for the music club too.
"Hey, Mitsuki," Michiru said looking at Mitsuki. "Have you had the flu everyone else has had?"
"Ah, so it's a flu going around?" Mitsuki asked putting folders in their proper place which was a cabinet and she locked it with a golden key with her initials on it. "I can't say I have. I just wish I knew where it came from."
"Same," Michiru said. "Everyone must be taking medicine like crazy."
"Probably," Mitsuki said with a worried tone in her voice.
Michiru read 20 letters and sent them to her e-mail since she wouldn't have access to her computer here at school and headed out the door giving Mitsuki and little wave. She fixed her bag which had become up and saw three girls down the hallway.
Natsu, Aki, and Chou.
"Michiru," Aki said looking at her and Michiru felt her soul being taken from her once again, almost like she was being frozen within the deep snow of a mysterious place. "Would you like to walk home with us today?"
"I have to get to a friend's house," Michiru said, searching for an excuse from getting away from these girls who seemed to have some sort of fascination with her since yesterday.
"Please," Natsu said titling her head to the side. "Just one walk wouldn't kill you, right?" Chou nodded cheerfully...for once.
"Uh, fine," Michiru said. "I need to split though, so I can walk with you guys but that's it."
"Great, shall we go?" Natsu said as she walked beside the weird girls talking about something at home including candles and wax.
"Michiru, have you lived here your entire life?" Chou asked curiously. "You seem to know the town quite well. I mean, you seem very in tune with everything around you. Are you connected to nature by any chance?"
"Nature, no. I'm more connected with the sea in the summer time. I've lived here for my whole life," Michiru tried to "play happy" with them and see if she could get anything out of these three.
"Wonderful. I'm connected with autumn time of the year, Natsu is connected to summer, and Chou is connected with butterflies. I believe everyone is connected with something," Aki explained as the three soon arrived to their home which was a mansion.
"Would you like to come in and join us for some tea, Michiru?" Aki asked curiously. "If you're not in a hurry or anything."
"I'm sorry, I really need to get going," Michiru said with a fake smile and walked away. "Goodbye!" she waved and ran down the street to a nearby restaurant.
"What a weird girl," Natsu said a straight face then a smile. "I like her though."
"I think we're on the same page," Aki said to her sister with a smile and a giggle and Chou joined in with them.
Michiru knocked on Haruka's door, and no answer but then she heard movement and Haruka opened the door looking somewhat better than yesterday.
"Hey Haruka," Michiru said with a smile. "How are you feeling today?" Haruka held the door open and Michiru walked in removing her boots.
"Better, I'll probably go to school Monday," Haruka said as she sat at the kitchen table reading a car magazine with a cup of hot milk. "So, how much work have I missed since I've been gone? Please say not a lot."
Michiru giggled and took the work out and looked at the pile. Her eye twitched.
"I'm doomed for," she said with a frown. "I can't get this all finished for next week!"
Michiru placed a hand on Haruka's shoulder and the girl looked at her curiously. Michiru's eyes twinkled and Haruka felt like she was in a dream.
"You will finish it," Michiru promised her. "I could come by tomorrow and help, now, shall we get started with Math?"
Luckily, the two had the same Math teacher, just not at the same time in the day.
"So you add 'x' here, and see the equation you get?" Michiru asked her as Haruka nodded. "You're lucky we both have the same teacher."
"I guess," Haruka said with a smirk. "I'm happy this sickness is finally ending, the same thing every year and I'm surprised it's never gotten better." Haruka tried some of the questions by herself and Michiru watched her write the answers.
"Haruka, how long has it been going on?" Michiru questioned her. She didn't want to know why the blonde was sick all the time, just what age it started at.
"When I was about eight," Haruka said running a hand through her blonde hair. "It's happened for eight years straight." The blonde typed more numbers in one her calculator. "This one I don't get."
Haruka tapped the pencil and Michiru giggled it.
"Here, silly," the aqua haired teen said as she placed her hand over Haruka's to write the answer down. "Carry the six then multiple by three hundred and form the equation and graph it."
Michiru noticed her hand was on Haruka's and she blushed and Haruka blushed a little bit too.
The beating started again and Michiru sat down.
"C-can I get some water?" Michiru asked curiously as the blonde nodded then Michiru walked over to the tap and filled up a glass.
"You didn't like it," Haruka said confusing Michiru curiously.
"W-what?" Michiru asked curiously sitting back down in her seat.
"Our hands touching?" Haruka asked looking at the aqua haired girl. Michiru was about to answer when Haruka fell to the floor and her eyes glazed over.
"Haruka, Haruka, Haruka!" Michiru shook her. "Wake up!"
Michiru felt for a pulse, just in case and there was one and it was strong. Michiru still shook Haruka a bit more until her eyes opened and she looked around the room.
"Did I have a faint spell?" Haruka asked and she looked at Michiru. "Are you alright?"
"I should be asking you that," Michiru told Haruka with a tiny smirk. "I was worried about you there for a moment." The blonde got hugged to death by Michiru and tears came down Michiru's cheek falling to the ground.
"M-M-Michiru?" Haruka stuttered over her name for a second. "Why are you crying?"
"You had me scared Haruka, why didn't you ever tell me you had fainting spells?" Michiru asked as her tears increased and Haruka picked her up setting her in a chair and grabbing her a tissue as she waited for the tears to clear up.
"They usually aren't that bad, it might not help that I'm sick," Haruka said as she dried some of Michiru's tears. "I can do the rest of this work in my room Michiru, you seemed a bit shaken up at the moment."
"No, I'm staying the night," Michiru told the blonde. "You need help if you're going to faint every now and then. Your mom won't mind, will she?"
"No, but you have no pajamas," Haruka said. "Your mom wouldn't know either." Michiru held Haruka tight once she sat down. "You can use my phone."
"No, I have my home number on my cellphone," the aqua haired teen said. Her mother picked up the phone and Michiru explained what had gone on through the day.
"It's alright then, I just got through the door too," her mom said. "I can bring some of your things over for the night like your pajamas and tooth brush and such."
Michiru hung up the phone after telling her mom the address to Haruka's house number.
"My mom's out for the next couple of days," Haruka said. "We'll be by ourselves."
Michiru blushed at the words the blonde said and the sick girl laughed a bit, Michiru slapped her on the shoulder. She knew Haruka was returning to her old normal self.
