Michiru sighed as she dragged the heavy garbage bag out the back door. With a big thrust, she managed to throw the bag into the garbage bin. Tired, she leaned against the wall of the apartment next door, reasoning that she was only taking a short break. Closing her eyes, her thoughts jumped to what had happened at earlier.

'Y-You're a woman?'

The blonde roughly pushed Michiru so her back was on the wall. Haruka put her arms on the wall, stopping the aqua haired woman from escaping. She placed her face in front of the smaller girl's, close enough for her to feel that Michiru was inhumanely stiff, close enough that Michiru was able to see the small flicker of triumph in the other's eyes before being washed over with worry covered with annoyance.

"You're not going to tell anyone," the blonde said huskily.

"How do you know that?" her blue eyes challenged the taller woman, trying to sound calmer than she was. Michiru unconsciously began to bring her right arm to her heart, where it was thumping so loudly, she was wondering how the blonde couldn't hear it. Then, she realized what she was doing, and quickly brought it down again, refusing to give into her temptation.

The blonde seemingly, didn't notice the shorter woman's inner turmoil, and said with her eyes locking onto blue ones, so honestly that it almost broke the tense mood, "There's more to benefit from holding it over me than having a short victory."

Michiru raised an eyebrow, perhaps she had underestimated Haruka; h-she was smart. Well, perhaps not too much since she had admitted a fact that would have been better off for her unsaid. And then yet again, she had no idea what to make of her except this; she was now ready to admit hi-her as a worthy opponent in this game.

She steadily voiced her thoughts, "It seems I've underestimated you. Fine, I won't tell anyone for now." Figuring that nothing more could be said, and not being one to drag things out, she ducked her head below Haruka's arm and walked away. But she couldn't help but let out, "I'm looking forward to," she paused both in her walk and words though not turning,"acquainting ourselves better"

Deciding that she had provoked the shorter girl enough times and could give up the last word, Haruka remained silent, instead looking appreciatively and delightedly at the figure walking away.

-BRRRINNG-

There was a surge of noise, as students from every room came out, talking loudly to their friends. Though there were no doubt dozens of students between them now, Michiru couldn't help but feel flushed at the unexplainable feeling that Haruka's eyes were still on her.

-0-0-0-0-

"Stupid!" muttered Michiru with a scowl in the alley. She was usually cool and collected, but Haruka always found a way to get under her skin. Her words to Haruka had all been a lie; Haruka's gender was her secret and Michiru had no intention of revealing what wasn't hers to reveal. Unless, of course, somehow Haruka's gender had to be revealed for the greater good (though, what were the chances of that happening).

Just when she had felt she had calmed down sufficiently to re-enter the cafe, her eyes spotted a shadow coming. She quickly whirled around, in a defensive stance.

Michiru waited for the stranger to come into the light, and as they did, the person said,"Whoa."

-0-0-0-0-

A tall blonde whistled as she walked, with her hands in her pockets. To every passerby, she seemed happy and content with the way things were.

They were right.

Her secret had been revealed, and by none other than the icy Kaioh Michiru. Kicking a rock for the sake of it, a flash of aquamarine seen from the corner of her eye suddenly caught her attention.

The tall woman smirked, knowing that it had to be the one and only Kaioh Michiru, and went into the alley. It was covered in shadows, though the sun was still out

"Stupid!"

Haruka's eyebrow rose at the harsh mutter coming out of the aqua haired woman and smirked.

'Well, I wonder what Kaichou's mad about?'

She opened her mouth to voice her thought, when a small ray of light hit the smaller woman. All previous thoughts that the blonde had had were forgotten, as she stared at the exquisite sight before her.

In front of her, was Kaioh Michiru, in a maid outfit.

"Whoa…"

StormBrisinger: I don't know what's with me and cliff hangers XD

Tripower: Nope, I posted two chapters each within ten minutes of each other. And, I don't think Michiru will listen to your warning :P

floire: Thanks ^-^

petiyaka: Oh! I didn't think of that! XD

James Birdsong: Aheh thank you

krugern: Thanks :] Actually, I was worried that I made Michiru too out of character in that chapter.

Hope you enjoyed! Review please!
