Boston Marriage

By auraluna7

Chapter 9: Add this to our tab

Michiru and Haruka went downstairs, when they were about to enter the living room Michiru realize this was not a good idea. "Wait...you can't go in there, he'll notice you where upstairs with me... besides I can handle him alone."

Haruka looked at Michiru with one eyebrow lifted. "You are not staying alone in that room with that man...he's ... I don't think it's ...decent"

"You're serious?" Michiru shook her head she had many remarks for that statement but now was not the time to start an argument with the blonde. "Fine, let's do this, you'll stay in the room next to the living room, you can hear everything that happens and pop if necessary" "Which of course won't happen" "He cannot stay longer than 15 minutes because he doesn't wish to make a scandal out of this" "I hope" "I'll dismissing him right away ok?" Haruka looked at Michiru a million replies on her mind but the smaller girl was one step ahead. "We agree then..." Michiru practically pushed her through a second door and disappear.

"Damn!"

-o-o-

Michiru came into the living room smiling; she was a well trained actress. She walked towards Seiya, her emerald silk skirts waving graciously.

"Seiya, what an unexpected surprise" Seiya seemed utterly displeased, Michiru not losing her coolness lent him a hand, he kissed it briefly and waited for her to sit down. "I must say I'm surprised you showed up in such a short notice... you're lucky I was able to see you. Lovely weather we are having today isn't it?"

"Stop the pleasantries Michiru, I know I only have 15 minutes and as you obviously know this isn't a social visit"

"It isn't?" She offered him a cup of tea looking dumbfounded; all those years of social encounters surely were paying off.

"Don't play dumb. Tell me with what is Tenoh blackmailing you into marrying him?"

"Blackmailing? I don't think I'm following you Seiya..." She fixed a lock of her hair nervously, but her face remained a calmed mask.

"It's obvious he know something, otherwise you wouldn't be marrying him, he's a low life, he has no manners you cannot play that 'I'm in love' theater to me, you cannot possibly love that man, he has no decent bloodline or fortune."

Michiru smoothed the fabric of her dress, what was she suppose to say? Seiya was breaking all the rules of a polite visit, he had reasons to be upset of course but she didn't wanted to make this any worse. "Well, Love is unpredictable. I'm glad you stop by but I'm expecting visitors so maybe we can have this conversation some other time over tea."

Seiya stood up and sat next to Michiru on the love seat looking furious. "Look me in the eye and tell me that you love him" Michiru looked at him, feeling a knot on the throat, she lower her eyes and whispered. "I do"

"You're lying! You cannot even look me in the eye! What did he do to you ah? Did he... Good Lord he did... didn't he? I shall kill him!"

Seiya got on his feet raging, Michiru got up as well, looking alarmed. "NO! He did not! Don't you dare assume such thing I'm a lady"

"It's ok sweetheart, once I kill that bastard we'll see what can be made to fix your situation..."

"What situation? You're ... please Seiya stop saying nonsenses and leave before you may do or say something you regret. My marriage with Haruka Tenoh is happening, nor you nor anyone else would step in my decision."

He held her hand and stepped closer to her. "It's ok to feel guilty Michiru, if you hadn't place yourself in a position in which that beast would be able to prey on you, you wouldn't be suffering now but I'm going to help you..."

Michiru's patience was running out fast. On the other side of the door Haruka's one was running out faster. "Look Seiya I'm telling you Haruka is not forcing me into this marriage, deal with it! Nobody preyed on me, there was no situation and this does not require any fixing"

Seiya looked at Michiru with annoyance. "So are you really consenting this union Michiru?"

"Yes"

"What about us?"

"US? There's not us... we were not even dating Seiya."

Seiya's eyes sparkle with indignation. "If I had known that the way to force you into marriage was being indecent, I'll have get you into it long time ago, I respected your wishes, protected your reputation and for what? For you to surrender to the first man that slips into your bed?"

"What?" She felt appaled, how could Seiya say such a thing to her?

"You hear me; you're marrying him because you have lost your maidenhood on his bed"

Michiru wished she knew some not ladylike insults to throw at this jerk face, but since she didn't she just stood there losing the color of her cheeks. "Get out of my house"

Seiya walked toward her smiling. "Did I touch a sensitive fiber?"

"Get out!"

"I..." In that moment Haruka stepped in Michiru sighed with relief. "What is he doing here?"

"The lady was clear, get out"

"You allowed him into your house already? Your mother would die again if she knew" Michiru's anger was bigger than her manners; she raised a hand and crossed his face.

"Get out and never come back"

"You will pay for this"

Haruka stepped closer and grabbed Seiya by the shirt collar. "Fine, add this to our tab" she lift him on throw him out to the hallway. "If I see you near my fiancé again I will break each bone in that pathetic skinny body of yours."

Seiya was not letting his honor to be diminished; he stood up and attacked the blonde. Soon they were engaged in a fierce fight.

"Stop it!" The doorbell was ringing and Michiru was flipping, the least she needed now were more visits. Haruka slammed Seiya against the floor and hit him in the face, she was obviously winning. "Haruka! Haruka don't kill him!"

Haruka looked at Michiru who looked between amused and scared. "Then, what?"

Seiya looked relieved and smug to hear Michiru defending him. "See 'your' girl is on my side"

Haruka hit him again making his lips bleed."Shut up jackass!"

Michiru sent Seiya a dirty look."Don't kill him in my hallway, you'll ruin the carpet, besides I cannot welcome guests with a corpse in the entrance hall, throw him out" Haruka smiled, she already liked Michiru a little more now...if possible. She stood up and forced Seiya to do the same. Then she opened the door where a very elegant dressed woman looked at them with surprise and kicked Seiya out.

The woman looked appalled, Michiru walked to the door looking as innocent as possible. "Good afternoon Mrs. Tsukino, you're just in time, isn't Serena joining you?"

"Ah... she... she has the flu Miss Kaioh"

"Oh what a shame, please step in I'll be with you in just a second" The woman nodded and walked to the living room still puzzled. Michiru looked at Haruka halfsmiling "I'll see you for dinner"

"I'll pick you up at eight" Haruka vowed and kissed Michiru's hand pressing her warm lips maybe too much and maybe for too long... Michiru blushed; the strangest thing was that she liked it.

-o-o-

In spite of all the rumors, the scandal and the fact that most of the guests RSVP just to see the year's biggest circus Michiru and Haruka's wedding day arrived...

Michiru looked at herself on the silver framed mirror. She looked like a fairy tale princess, her long hair braided with white lilies, the white silk dress long enough to fill a room, the tail along was five yards long, the handmade veil pinned to her head with a beautiful diamond tiara it was ...perfect. The sunlight made her gown look as white as snow, she sighed softly, she wished her mother could have been here to see her on this her wedding day, but what would her mother say if she knew why and who she was marrying? It was better not to think about it too much. A year from today she was going to be a free wealthy woman, and then her life would begin.

"You look nervous Miss" Mizu buttoned up the one hundred pearl buttons of the gown and fixed all the details on her dress, she was so happy, sobbing softly now and then every time she looked at Michiru wearing the dress.

"I am"

"Well you shouldn't be, after today you'll have someone who'll take care of you"

Michiru frowned, she hated that perspective of marriage, she wasn't looking for someone to fix her problems or make her choices, she was looking for someone to love, to share a life with ... her smile faded, this marriage was none of that though, she was getting into this mess for money and her freedom... she wished for a second she were in love with Haruka and Haruka to love her back, she imagine that their lives would be much happier... but it was just a dream.

"I'm ready"

(Oh do I hear wedding bells? What do you think? Do you think Michiru has realized that every wedding ends with 'you can kiss the bride'? Review if you wish more!)
