“I’m not very hungry now miss…” the next word lodged itself in Michiru’s throat as she glanced up, not to see the friendly nurse, but someone in a dark hooded coat coming towards her, holding up one of the deadly sharp surgery knives. “time to finish the job…” he grated roughly, raising the blade above his head… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “I think not…” a husky voice sounded from the door, seconds before the dark figure was thrown into the next wall by an extremely angry blond. The figure wasted no time in slashing out at Haruka, catching the side of her jaw before he threw the woman off him, running from the room. “Haruka!” Michiru screamed, keeping Haruka from going after the man by sitting on the older woman’s stomach, wrapping her arms around Haruka’s neck before bringing her bleeding cheek against her shoulder. “Somebody help! Help, she’s bleeding!!” the aqua haired woman screamed at the top of her lungs, feeling Haruka’s arms come around her waist. “You could have been killed…” the blond murmured, her voice muffled by the darkly stained fabric of Michiru’s hospital gown. “You could have been killed too.” Michiru whispered back, suddenly blushing as the nurse who came in gaped at them, snapping her out of her momentary trance. “Y-you called Miss Kaioh?” the nurse asked, gasping as Haruka withdrew her head to look at her, “please, get up! We have to talk care of that! How did this happen?!” “A-a man, he came in…he was gonna kill me” Michiru stuttered, unable to look Haruka in the eyes as the blond got up and sat on the bed, letting the nurse clean the cut. “Don’t worry Miss Kaioh, your…friend will be fine. It’s not too deep” the nurse stated coldly, leaving the room soon after without bothering to say goodbye. “Well that was rude…” Haruka snorted, lightly touching the bandaged spot along her jaw. “Haruka…thank you…” the aqua haired girl whispered, causing Haruka to smile broadly, noticing the loss of the suffix ‘San’. “Well…tell my something miss Michiru Kaioh, what are you planing to do when you get out of this hospital?” the blond asked casually, leaning against the side of the bed as Michiru gathered her clothes, changing quickly as Ruka turned her back. “I…I haven’t thought of it really.” Michiru murmured flippantly, throwing her hair over her shoulder. Haruka grinned to herself, seeing her opening. “Hey…do that hair thing again…” the blond murmured as Michiru gave her an odd look, shrugging her shoulders before tossing her hair again, causing Haruka’s pulse to speed up slightly, “perfect…” “W-what’s perfect?” Michiru snapped, becoming tired of the blondes little mind games. “You are perfect, Miss Kaioh…” Haruka murmured, using her real name purposely, causing the other woman to flush slightly, “I have a proposal for you” “W-what?” the younger woman flushed a deeper shade of red, stepping back slightly. “Nothing like that…I want to make a business proposal…” Haruka smiled charmingly, sitting in the chair next to the bed as the younger girl paced. “So start talking” the aqua haired girl snapped slightly, feeling cornered as she counted up the hospital bills. If she used a credit card, then she could be tracked…and brought home. “Well, I’m a photographer. I won one of the biggest companies in Tokyo in my field and I’m in need of a new girl for our next photo shoot. So far, I’ve got Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, Minako Aino, and Ami Mizuno. But I need one more…I was hoping it would be you.” Haruka finished, holding her breath. “What kind of shoot?” Haruka winced, wishing the question hadn’t come up before the contract had been signed. “Erm…bathing suit. Two weeks along the coasts” Haruka felt the sting of Michiru’s palm against her skin before the sentence was finished. Looking woefully at the retreating woman as a small smile came to the blondes’ face, an idea forming in her head. “Well, I’ll take that as a yes.” Ruka smirked, teal eyes dancing with wicked glee as she trailed after the other woman…
