Chapter 1:

Sunlight crept through the window, slowly stirring a tall blonde from her slumber.

"Ugh, who ordered sunlight this early?"

Haruka asked, sitting up with a yawn and rubbing sleep from her eyes.

She then looked to her left and noticed that Michiru was still fast asleep.

"You're lucky you sleep on that side of the bed. The sun doesn't blind you right away."

Haruka whispered, kissing her on the cheek.

She then headed downstairs to see if anyone else was awake.

"Good morning, you're up early."

Setsuna said as Haruka walked into the kitchen.

"The sun decided it was time for me to be up."

"I see. Well have a seat and I'll get your breakfast for you."

"Okay."

Haruka then went into the dining room and took a seat at the table.

A few moments later, Setsuna returned with her breakfast. It was the usual, a bowl of cheerios with banana and milk.

"Are you sure this is what you want? Because I can make you something if you'd like."

"No, this is fine."

Haruka said, beginning to take a bite of her food.

Although Haruka was eating, her diet was very limited. Setsuna had considered bringing it up to Haruka's therapist, but decided not to because at least Haruka was eating.

"Oh, I almost forgot to give you your medicine."

Setsuna said. Haruka was still on antidepressants and seemingly doing better because of it.

Setsuna then left to grab Haruka's medicine and was shocked to discover that the bottle was empty.

"How can this be? When I gave you your medicine yesterday this thing was filled."

Setsuna said as she walked back into the dining room. She then looked at Haruka, her eyes narrowing.

"Haruka, what happened to the rest of your pills?"

Haruka decided at that moment to avoid the question by shoveling more food into her mouth.

Setsuna pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Dammit Haruka, why?"

Haruka swallowed the mouthful of food she had, then stared down at her bowl.

"I don't like how they make me feel."

"But you've been doing great on them."

"I know, but I want to do great without them."

"Someday you will, but today is not that day. You still have long way to go in your recovery."

"I know, but I've been eating more and not exercising or purging as much. So, can I please stop taking my medicine?"

"No."

"Please? Just for today?"

"No. Now go get dressed, you're going with me to get you a refill."

Haruka grumbled out a few choice words, then headed upstairs to get dressed.

When she made it back into her room she was shocked by what she saw.

"Michi."

Upon hearing her name being called, Michiru jumped and quickly tried to hide what she was doing. However, it was too late as Haruka had already seen what she had done.

"Let me see your arm."

Michiru made no effort to move, so Haruka went over to her and grabbed her arm. She then looked at it to find Michiru's most recent cut, plus a few other old ones.

Haruka didn't say anything and left to get the first aid kit.

A few minutes later she returned and began to treat Michiru's injuries.

"Ruka, I'm s-"

"Save it."

Haruka's voice was cold, although she did not necessarily intend it to be. She was just really upset and angry at the moment.

After bandaging up Michiru's arm, Haruka got dressed then left without saying another word.

"I'm sorry."

Michiru whispered as tears streamed down her face.

"There you are. I was wondering what was taking you so long."

Setsuna said.

"I had to use the bathroom."

"You weren't purging, were you?"

"No."

Setsuna was a bit taken aback by the tone of Haruka's voice.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure? You seem upset."

"I'm fine. Let's just go get my medicine now."

Setsuna let out a sigh, then said something that she knew was going to set Haruka off.

"You saw Michiru's arm, didn't you?"

"Yeah. Wait...how did you know about her arm?"

"I noticed it a couple of weeks ago."

"And you didn't bother to tell me?"

"It was for your own good. You're still in a delicate frame of mind and I didn't want you to fall off the deep end."

"Were you ever going to tell me?"

"Eventually, yes. However I was going to wait until I knew you weren't going to do something irrational."

"Do you think I'll do something irrational now?"

"I'm not sure. All I know is that right now you look very upset and angry."

"I don't know what to do right now. I want to scream, cry, and punch all at the same time. And to make matters worse I'm really confused. I'm confused about why she's doing it."

"She has her share of demons too. Perhaps they're just resurfacing."

"Perhaps. But why now? Unless…"

It suddenly dawned on Haruka what could be causing Michiru to cut herself and she began to feel sick to her stomach.

Setsuna noticed the look of guilt on Haruka's face and immediately knew what she was thinking.

"It's not your fault."

"It's not my fault? How could it fucking not be my fault?! She was perfectly fine until I decided to become a complete fuck up!"

"Haruka, calm down. Michiru self harming has nothing to do with you."

"Yes it does! It's all my fault!"

Haruka was now on the verge of tears and her hands were clenched tightly into fists.

She then attempted to run out the front door, but Setsuna quickly grabbed her and pulled her back.

"Let go!"

Haruka screamed, trying to free herself from Setsuna's tight grip.

"You can't run away every time you get upset."

"Let go!"

"I will after you calm down."

"I will after you fucking let go of me!"

"You're being very unreasonable right now."

"I'm being unreasonable?! You're the one who didn't want to tell me my fiancée was cutting herself, but I'm the unreasonable one?! Fuck you!"

"That was uncalled for, now apologize."

"Why should I?! You're the one that decided to keep something from me!"

"Because you're being very rude right now. And I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react how you are right now. Now apologize for being rude."

"Stop keeping things from me and maybe I'll apologize!"

"I'll stop keeping things from you when you can learn to act rationally to upsetting news."

"If you didn't keep things from me I'd be able to learn! Now for the last time, let go!"

Haruka then ripped herself out of Setsuna's arms, only to be back in them again in a split second. This time she didn't say anything and just screamed and cried in frustration while making futile attempts to get out of Setsuna's arms.

After a few more minutes of struggling, Haruka finally gave up and collapsed into Setsuna's arms. Setsuna then sat down on the floor with Haruka in her lap.

She then began to gently rub Haruka's back while humming softly to her.

"How is she?"

Michiru asked.

"She'll be okay. How did she see your arm?"

"She caught me cutting."

"Damn. And here I was thinking her throwing out her pills was going to be the only bad thing that happened today."

"She threw out her pills?"

"Yeah. I was planning to take her with me to get them refilled so I sent her upstairs to get dressed. I then began to wonder what was taking her so long."

"She was bandaging me up."

"I see. Well she's asleep now, and I'm tempted to leave her here while I go get her medicine."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she's okay."

"She's not the only one I'm worried about."

"I know, but I'll be okay."

Setsuna thought it over for a moment. She didn't want to leave either of them alone, but thought that perhaps if they were alone together then nothing would happen.

"I'll be back as soon as I can. If anything happens I want you to call me."

"Okay."

Setsuna then stood up with Haruka in her arms and walk into the living room with her. She then laid her down on the couch, and left to go get her medicine.

Michiru then kneeled down in front of Haruka and brushed her bangs out of her face.

"I'm so sorry, Ruka."

Michiru whispered, kissing Haruka's forehead.

End of chapter 1:

A/N: Nothing like diving head first into drama, am I right. Anyway I'll probably update again soon because I kinda know where I'm going with the next chapter. Until next time, this is PokémonSoulMaster93 signing out.
