Chapter 3: A Date??
-- Spring 1996: Kaioh's Residence --
The day was filled with sunshine and cool breeze of the wind. It was perfect day for going out especially for a date… Michiru brushed off the word from her mind. Since last night, she had been keeping off her mind from today. It was Saturday, a week away after she has met Haruka. They have promised to meet each other and have lunch. Michiru was far too excited with this day. She looked on her reflection in the mirror. She dressed in light purple sundress with a white long-sleeve tunic inside. Her hair was spread like usually done with a little pink hairpin on the left part. 'Perfect!'
She heard someone the knock from the door and asked them to come in. It appeared to be Michiru's mother. "You seem so happy today"
"Yes, mother… I am going out with a friend, so I wouldn't be home for lunch"
"Ooo… Is it someone that you should introduce to me sometime?" Akiko teased her daughter.
"It's a girl, mother! For God sake!" Michiru blushed with her mother playful smile.
"Oh…" Her mother sounded disappointed, "I thought you have a date with a boy… You know, you should find some nice boy and introduced one to us… You already 14 and-"
"Ok, mom, I have to go now!" Michiru ran out of the room and went down the stair. She had enough of her mother's speech of having a nice boyfriend since she was already 14 years old and such. With her drawing book on her lap, she closed the entrance's door and saw a bike outside the gate.
She went near the bike, "Hey…" She was surprised by Haruka who leaned beside the gate. She looked Haruka and blushed by her appearance. She wore a white blouse with along sleeve and a black pant. On her left arm, she had a red scarf that was tied to it. "Ready?"
"Yes!"
-- Crown Parlor --
"Can I take your order?"
"Hmm… I think I will have Spaghetti Napolitana"
"For me, Caesar Salad"
"Spagetti Napolitana and Caesar Salad… What would you like for drink?"
"Black Tea-" Both of them said in the same time. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Two black tea, please" Haruka told the waiter as she kept laughing.
"Perfect!" She left the two girls while smiling at their awkwardness.
"I don't know that you like black tea"
"Well, you too… My father is a British and sometime, he likes to have English breakfast, so the whole family will have the same"
"Your father is a British?"
"Yup!"
"That is amazing! He works in Japan?"
"Nope, he has his business in England"
"Why are you here then? You don't live with your parent?"
"Well, I used to but then I decided to live here alone in my mother's homeland… I had enough England in my heart", Haruka smiled widely and Michiru found it cute. "How about you? I don't think a very Japanese girl like you would prefer black tea rather than green one"
"Ah, it just, I find it tastier than green tea"
"You're right! I think we have the same taste"
"Here's your black tea"
"Thank you!" They said it altogether. Then they talked about many things during their lunch, about their family, hobbies, school and many other things.
"So, which instrument you like to play?"
"Violin…"
"Wow! I can play piano"
"Really?"
"Why? Not too convincing?"
"Well, you don't look like one"
"I can play them well… My mother taught me…"
"My mom also taught me"
"Your mom is the best violinist in Japan; of course you got talent from her"
She giggled with Haruka's fourteenth compliments that she had receive that day, "Well, thank you again for your compliment, now I know how flirtiest you are, Tenoh-san"
"Call me Haruka"
"Then, you can call me Michiru"
"OK, Michiru-san"
"That would be great, Haruka-san", they stared at each other. Somehow, they felt each other presence is very comforting. "Would you like more tea?" Michiru offered as she was going to take lift the tea pot but failed.
"Ouch!" Haruka whined in pain as the hot tea ran onto her arm which was on the table.
"I am sorry! Are you ok?"
"Don't worry; it just spilled on my sleeve"
"Let me clean the table"
"No, no, I can do it" Then Haruka held Michiru's hand which is going to clean the tea's spoilage and their eyes met. "Don't mind it, ok? I can clean them", she smiled to the smaller girl. They just kept staring at each other in the same position. The more Michiru looked at the green eyes, the more she felt the attraction to this, Tenoh Haruka.
"EXCUSE ME!!" A loud voice broke their moment and they pulled from each other hand. A blond hair girl with oddly hair style and two guys, one with black hair and the other was dark blond, sitting in the corner near the window. "I'd like a fruit parfait, mixed sandwiches, a strawberry short cake and a glass of juice!" Both of the men just sweat dropped at the girl's antic.
"I think we should leave now, or it will be too late for the drawing" Michiru looked at her watch and it was already 2:30 pm.
"So fast? We can do it tomorrow…" Haruka said to Michiru as she sipped her tea.
"No, I don't want to waste any of your time"
"Well, I don't mind to postpone it… spending my time with you is worth it"
Michiru smiled to her, "This is you fifteenth compliment and I really appreciate them but I really don't want to waste your time, really…"
'I like this girl a lot' Haruka realized her attraction to the aqua girl. Something about her made the racer to feel content and relax. She stood up and picked her bike's key. "Then, let's go. We have to finish the drawing earlier so I can spend my time with you freely", she smiled genuinely.
-- Juuban Lake --
"Arg!" A boy fell from his walk with her girlfriend.
"Hiroshi! Are you ok?" The boy couldn't answer as he felt a great pain within his body. "I will call for ambulance, wait me here ok?" She stood and ran away to find telephone booth.
The boy was shaking heavily and he felt something was going to came out from his body. Something inside him which is tearing his body apart. "ARGGGGGGGG!!"
-- Juuban Lake – at the other part--
Michiru looked up from her drawing book. She sensed an evil aura nearby. She needed to go. NOW.
"Something wrong, Michiru?"
"I-I remember something! I need to call my mother now"
"Ok then"
"I am so sorry, I will be back soon!"
She ran toward the aura. Sensing it became stronger, she took her henshin pen, "NEPTUNE PLANET POWER. MAKE UP!"
As she finished her transformation, she ran faster to catch up the evil's being. When she arrived, she saw a horrible monster which looked like a big flesh. The monster was the same being like the any other one she had been fighting with. They were pretty slow and powerless. They just attacked you with their small claws that could be deadly for human. Thank God, there was no one so she could defeat them easily. However, she had to be careful also…
"ROOOOAAARRRR!!" The monster roared as it began to attack forward. Neptune was able to evade and then kicked it from behind, made the walking flesh stumbled on the ground. It started to get up slowly before it gave Neptune another angry's roar. Neptune had to be careful so she was going to play it slowly.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA!" A girl suddenly appeared. Then the monster turned to attack the girl instead. The girl just stood there, she was overwhelmed by her fear.
"Shit!" Neptune muttered as she fastened her move, catching up the monster and then gave it a strike but it defensed and countered attack Neptune which made her flies to the other side. The monster then looked back at its first victim who had fallen unconscious. Neptune tried to stood at her feet and saw the monster was charging the fallen girl. 'There's no choice' and then she shouted, "DEEP SUBMERGE!"
The attack was right on the spot, just before the monster could touch the girl. It screamed for the last time but this time was in pain. It fell to the ground and slowly, its form was changing. The monster turned out to be a boy in his casual clothes.
Michiru came near the boy and checked on him. He was alive. 'Thank God'. This is what she afraid of. The monster was another form of human physical body. If she used full charge of her attack, they could be dead now. She didn't know what caused this but for sure they were a real human with family and identity. Something must be behind all of this and her first thought was her enemy.
-- In front of Kaioh's Residence --
The motor bike stopped in front of the big gate to Michiru's house. As Haruka turned off the engine, she took off her helmet and then looked at her passenger behind her. Michiru took off her helmet and jumped out from the bike.
"Thanks for the ride", she gave Haruka her helmet, "Sorry to make you wait until this late"
"Don't worry", the blond girl grinned at Michiru, "As long as you draw me fine, it will be my pleasure"
"Of course! My drawing is the best!" They chuckled with their own teasing. In someway, they felt so close and enjoyed each other company even though they had just spending one day together. "Then see you some time" Michiru gave the other girl a pleasant smile.
"See you, too", Haruka looked at Michiru as she turned back and went to her gate house, "Hey!" Haruka stopped her, Michiru gazed back at Haruka. "Here…" She handed a small paper into Michiru's hand. She then grinned widely, "Bye then!" Haruka started her engine again and the sped off, before Michiru could say something.
Michiru looked at the parting motor bike and started at the small paper on her hand. She red the contents and smiled.
'Thanks for the wonderful day!
Hope we can do this often ;D
Here is my phone number xxx-xxx-xx-xx.
Be sure to CALL me since I don't have yours .
-Haruka-'
'Silly', Michiru walked inside the house and humming happily.
