Boston Marriage

Chapter 10: You may kiss the bride

"Wow! You look so beautiful; I won't say anything else about overpriced wedding dresses again."

"What are you doing here? It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding"

Haruka shook her head smiling, she was not used to yet to how little details annoyed her soon to be bride, just yesterday she surprised Michiru lecturing the house staff over the fact that there were no salad forks on the table, and now this... "I'll be here just a minute I wanted to let you know that the whole city is here"

Michiru smiled. "No surprise there, only two invitations were not confirmed" The day before Michiru double-checked the list herself, the only invitations not confirmed where the one sent to the Koh family –that was an obvious shot- and the one she sent to her godfather...actually Michiru was worried about this last one, after all Yazuko was her tutor, and Michiru wondered if his absence would cause legal troubles not to mention raise even more gossips.

"I'll say only one was not confirmed..."

Michiru frowned. "Seiya is here? What a nerve!"

"No... Your godfather just arrived"

"Are you sure? But..."

"He'll walk down the aisle"

Michiru blinked a couple of times with not sure she had heard correctly. "You're telling me that the man who you humiliate and violate me, the man who tried to rape, and then got punched in the face over and over by you, is here to walk me down and hand me to you?"

"Yes"

"How did you do that?"

-o-o-

(Flashback)

"Good evening" Haruka entered Yazuko's office with disgust, the place smelled like scotch and cheap perfume, the man in front of her looked at her with profound hate.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I came to make a deal with you"

"Ha, so you found about the will clause is that it?" Haruka sighed, she had actually chatted with Michiru's lawyer a few days ago, in order for Michiru to get married she needed her stupid tutor consent, of course she had had the good sense not to mention it to Michiru, the poor girl was a nervous wreck with the wedding arrangements already.

"Here's the deal, you'll come to the wedding 'pretending' to be a nice and loving tutor, you'll consent to our marriage and after the ceremony I don't want to see you near my wife ever again"

"Sure, when elephants learn to fly, I will not consent; the only thing you will achieve is ruining Michiru's reputation beyond recognition, nothing more than that."

Haruka smiled, the man looked a bit nervous but didn't move. "Are you here to kill me Tenoh? Give it a shot I have a pistol on my drawer"

"Do you know who Kenji Kiseki is?"

"Everyone knows, he's the police chief"

"Fine, if you don't do as I say I'll put you in jail for attempt of rape and assault"

"I want to see Michiru ratifying those charges, in our world those things never happen Tenoh, even if they do, everybody will put themselves in the line to deny it."

"There'll be no need for Michiru to testify...you won't last a night in jail Yazuko"

"You're bluffing"

"Am I? Look outside your window..." Yazuko looked outside to the street, a tall man had his back leaned against a street light, his face had been in all the newspapers, the chief of police was standing right outside his window... "He's my personal friend, so I'm guessing you'll like to please me won't you?"

"Fine, anyway Michiru would be the end of you, she's a shallow bitch"

"Insult her once more and it'll be the last thing you'll ever do..."

-o-o-

"Me? Nothing... maybe he's just trying to be nice with you"

"Liar"

"Ok maybe I convince him, but the point is that he's here"

"Thanks Haruka...well, now go, don't let people find you here." She smiled at Haruka." I'll be outside in just a minute" Haruka nodded although deep inside she didn't wanted to leave, the vision of Michiru in her wedding dress was breathtaking.

Michiru took a deep breath and walked outside, in the end Haruka convinced her to held the wedding on the Kaioh's manor Garden ...it was utterly unusual, something that hadn't be done before but since this whole wedding was a show, this just was just added to the long list of unusual things about the wedding, people talked about it along with the fact of the ceremony being rushed after just a few weeks of acquaintance, there was no engagement party and Seiya spread rumors in town about a possible duel, the whole thing was indeed a circus act.

Yazuko awaited for her at the bottom of the stairs looking cool and a perhaps a bit drunk, if he was pissed Michiru couldn't tell, in fact for years she couldn't remember most of the details of that day.

When Haruka said the whole city Michiru thought she was exaggerating but actually Michiru notice in the crowds many faces she could barely recognize, the whole crème de la crème was here, Michiru notice with sadness that there was not a single person in the crowd that actually cared about her, not a loving smile, nothing. The whole affair seemed out of a dream, even the vibrant pink roses and the dripping white candles seemed too bright to be real.

Yazuko lead her gently down the aisle and placed her next to Haruka, the blonde dressed with an impeccable grey tux, a single white rose on her lapel. Michiru smiled nervously when Haruka lift the veil covering her face and everyone saw her.

The ceremony was brief, Michiru began wondering how deep in hell she'll sink after this, she looked at Haruka, the blonde seemed so cool Michiru envy her. "Soon it'll be all over and I'll be able to sleep" She was so immerse in her thoughts she barely understood why Haruka was holding her hand... she hear her speaking but she lost track of what was happening...

"Michiru?"

The aqua goddess looked at the priest confused, she blinked a couple times and caught a glimpse of the crowd, why was suddenly everyone so anxious? "What father?" Maybe it was some sort of catholic ritual she missed; she really should be paying more attention...

"Yes or no? Do you Michiru Kaioh take this man to be your ..."

"Oh! Yes! Yes I do!" The blonde smiled relieved, for a moment she thought Michiru was having a change of heart and running away...lucky for her she was just distracted. The crowd seemed to breathe again all at the same time.

Haruka slipped a golden band in her finger...Michiru took the other ring and looked at it for a second; this ring was supposed to mean so many things... an eternal promise of love and sacrifice, a promise to grow old as a couple to live and die together ...she hated this to be a lie, holding tears that fight to escape her eyes Michiru slipped the golden band quickly on the blonde's finger, she noticed Haruka looked at her carefully, like trying to figure her out.

"Now you may kiss the bride."

"What?" A kiss, how could she possibly forget that? Now what? Was she supposed to let Haruka... before Michiru could think a nice plan to escape out of this Haruka smiled at her and held her by the waist softly. "She knew! She's such a rascal!"

Haruka looked deep into Michiru's eyes and leaned to kiss her hoping that she wouldn't look away; her intention was to give her a brief kiss on the lips, nothing scandalous...

"Haruka..." Michiru whispered softly but instead of stepping back as she thought she wanted she simply closed her eyes, in a second she felt the pressure of the blonde's lips on her...

The contact was not what Michiru thought it'll be, it was a gentle kiss, but it made her feel as if a sudden fire spread through her body, she had never been kissed before, not that anyone hadn't tried, she simply refused it every time, and now she felt for the first time this sensation, this desire of losing control over everything of letting herself go... one kiss and she knew she was sold to this feeling...

Haruka had kissed many girls before, she was and expertise lover but somehow she felt like no time before... Michiru's lips where soft as silk, fresh as a rose ... her intentions melted away when she felt the smaller girl surrender, when Michiru half-opened her mouth Haruka wasn't able to stop herself and slipped her tongue in the girl's mouth...

Michiru felt like bursting, she felt Haruka all around and all over, she let that tongue explore deep inside her mouth and take her hostage...

"Ehem..." The priest cleared his throat, Michiru opened her eyes surprised to found herself blushed with desire. She stepped back slowly leaving Haruka with a sense of void. "It's good to see t two young people getting married for love... Congratulations Mrs. Tenoh"

Michiru lowered her eyes, she felt ashamed, but over all sad. She touched her lips remembering the kiss, why? Why did she felt so bad and so good at the same time?

(Oh sparks are flying...now you think they'll have a happy marriage? Let's see if Miss Kaioh oh sorry Mrs. Tenoh and Mr. Tenoh can fight their own demons no? Review if you want more!)
