Haruka and Michiru step out of the car to be instantly attacked by reporters.
"Can't I go out one night with out this..."
"Michiru are you and Haruka dating?" Michiru attempts to answer only to be cut off by a familiar husky voice.
"It is none of your business, you have 5 seconds to move. Other wise the only pictures you will get will be of your stomach lining." Erin pushes of a near by pillar a few feet ahead of Haruka and Michiru.
Thank you god....
"Oh it is Haruka's "bodyguard" Erin gives a wicked smile that made Michiru shiver. I have never seen that look before. Haruka pulls Michiru down the walkway, towards the door.
"Erin does not like people being rude like that, Come on lets get inside while she has their attention."
" Ah come on man I will give you 10 grand if you can get a picture of them making out." Erin's eyebrow twitches. You have to be fucking kidding me, I knew some people were hard headed but this is unneeded . "Come on dude this is my job I need to get payed." Erin glances out the corner of her eye seeing Setsuna and Hotaru heading down the walk way. The valets pulling Haruka's yellow Porsche and Setsuna's Mercedes away. Thank the god I was concerned they would mob her too. Erin closes her eyes for a moment, pinching her nose before opening them again looking at the reporter.
"Go back to whatever rock you crawled out from, before I loose my patience, and passive nature." Erin turns around to see Setsuna to her right. Is she waiting on me? Erin doesn't bother to think any farther she offers Setsuna her arm. Setsuna slides her arm into Erin's and smiles over at Erin. Erin returns the smile holding out her left hand. Hotaru quickly grabs Erin's hand her little hand only being able to hold two of Erin's fingers.
" Thanks for helping Michiru with the reporter, she is to polite to tell the to buzz off." Erin chuckles as they head the rest of the walkway. Erin opening the door for Setsuna
"No problem, I can't stand ignorant, hard headed rude people." Setsuna chuckles taking Hotaru's hand from Erin's as they though the door.
"No wonder you hate going out in public." Setsuna laughs looking over her shoulder at Erin. Erin shakes her head and smiles, as she follows them letting the door close behind her.
Michiru stands up, waving her arm getting Setsuna's attention. Setsuna and Hotaru head to the table. Erin a few feet behind, taking a seat between Setsuna and Hotaru
"Erin thank you for back there." Erin smiles.
"No problem love, I know it must be really annoying. Well what does everyone want to drink?"
"Some wine please"
"Sounds good to me"
"I would like one as well"
"Me too"
"Ok that is 4 wines......hey now " Erin gives Hotaru a playful evil eye. "You are a tricky little one princess. Do you like cherry or strawberry." Hotaru nods enthusiastically.
"Ok then be back..." Erin disappears into the crowd.
"Wait how is she going to carry 5 drinks?"Haruka puts her arm around Michiru kissing her ear.
"She has big hands.." Sure enough Erin reappears from the crowd, two wine glass between index and middle finger on her left hand. The other one between her index finger and middle finger on her right hand. A scotch on the palm of her left hand and a Sheryl temple in the other hand. Erin sets the Shirley temple in front of Hotaru, then gives the wine out before sitting down with her scotch. Erin notices the odd look Hotaru is giving her drink.
"Hotaru love it is ok it taste like cherry, I can get you something else if you do not want it." Hotaru looks over at Erin then back to the drink. She then takes a small sip, pauses. A huge grin appears across her face as she starting drinking at an incredible speed. Everyone just chuckles, Erin taking a sip of her scotch. Setsuna watches Erin out the corner of her eye for a moment,then a soft smile caress her lips.
"Erin? Didn't you say when we got to the gala I could ask you anything." Erin quirks an eyebrow looking over Haruka for a moment, as Haruka whispers in Michiru's ear.
"Aye, love anything."
"I got one" Michiru says over the rim of her wine. "How do you really feel about Setsuna?" Erin's upper lip twitches, and Setsuna buries her head in her hands. Michiru......
"How I feel about her, I am hypothesized by her, her beauty almost knocks me off my feet, the depth of her soul is endless,filled with knowledge and her heart is as pure as anyone I have ever meet. In simpler terms as I would like to be with her because I love her for everything not just one thing."
"Aw that is so beautiful" Michiru smiles gently, Haruka chuckles and kisses the top of her ear. Erin looks over at Setsuna, Erin places a hand softly on the bend in Setsuna's arm.
"Setsuna love, you ok?" I can't believe Michiru asked that.......But Erin's answer was, was I have never heard anyone describe me and such a way. Setsuna slowly pulls her face from her hands and hesitatingly looks over at Erin.
"Yes I am fine, I am sorry about that" Erin smiles and takes Setsuna's hand kisses the top of her knuckles.
"It is ok love, I did say anything." Erin releases Setsuna's hand, picking up her scotch finishing it off. Erin then looks to Hotaru, raising from the table,she walks over to Hotaru "You bored Princess? Would you be so kind as to dance with me." Hotaru jumps up taking Erin's hand all about running to the dance floor. Erin helps Hotaru so she can stand on her shoes, holding Hotaru's hands as Erin does waltz in small steps, to keep Hotaru from loosing her balance.
"Setsuna you feeling ok?" Michiru puts her hand on top of Setsuna's hand. Setsuna looks over at Haruka and Michiru.
"Yes, actually I am for once."
"Well I am going to take a cue from Erin" Haruka stands offering Michiru her hand. "may I have this dance?" Michiru takes Haruka's hand and raises.
"Yes sir you may." Both head to the dance floor, Haruka puts her arm around Michiru's waist, the other hand intertwining with Michiru. Michiru rests her head on Haruka's shoulder. "Haruka do you think Setsuna will take that leap?"
"I hope so," Haruka closes eyes as they dance, concentrating on the smell of Michiru's perfume. Letting the soft music wrap around them. "I love you Michiru." Michiru looks up at Haruka with a smile.
" I love you too." Michiru stands on her toes, kisses Haruka softly. Time stopped as they hold each other sharing the sweet kiss. What happened to the music? Michiru pulls away , looks around for a moment then blushes, Haruka looks down at her then realizes that the music has stopped as well.
"What do you do to me Michiru? When I am with you there is nothing else. Whatever it is please don't stop."
"Not even kami himself could..."Michiru looks into her eyes then notices movement behind Haruka's shoulder. Michiru's face drops, Haruka raises an eyebrow and looks in the direction of Michiru's gaze. Sitting at the table is Setsuna with a severely annoyed look on her face. The gentlemen who was talking to her keeps trying to put a hand on her shoulder or leg even though she slaps them away. Haruka stomps towards the table, Michiru following her from the dance floor sits down in Erin's chair next to Setsuna. Michiru taking her seat silently a few moments later.
"Can I help ?" Haruka says the gentleman with a harsh tone. The gentleman if you could call him that was in a blue business suit his hair slicked back with way to much hair gel. A stupid grin on his and a glint in his eyes Haruka did not like.
"Yeah you can give me her number" The guy points to Michiru, Michiru makes a horrible and sickly looking face.
"That is my girlfriend ."
"Well when she wants a real man have her call me" He hands Michiru a card which she takes then lights on fire with the candle on the table. Haruka growls and goes to get up but is held back by a hand on her shoulder. Haruka snaps around, to curse out the person holding her back. Only for her face to drop and her angry disappear. Erin taps her on the shoulder, Haruka moving from her seat. Going back to her seat behind Hotaru, next to Michiru. Erin gives a small nod of thanks to Haruka before taking her seat back at the front of the table. Hotaru on her left, and Setsuna on the right. Erin calmly looks up at the man, then at Setsuna.
"Setsuna love do you want this "gentleman" to keep you company."
"God no" Erin turns her gaze to Michiru.
"Michiru?
"Absolutely not"
"Haruka my dear "brother" I am fully aware you do not wish him to be here, neither do I. So sir please leave this table. I am especially upset that you are harassing my date." The man just scoffs sizing the seated Erin.
"There is no way you are her date you are the son of the drunk scot and russian whore. Yea that is right I know who you are." Erin's upper lip twitches.
" Good that you know who I am sir, I need not your name for it is of no importance to me because I will never utter it again. Please leave my parents out of this, that is strike 1."
"Strike 1? what kind of psychopathy are you? Besides she has baggage" The man points to Hotaru, Erin simply stays sitting looking at the man. Hotaru jumps from her seat and kicks the man in the shin.
"Ow why you little" The man goes to grab Hotaru but Erin catches the man's wrist Hotaru hiding behind Erin's leg.
"Baggage you say? Well I care not if she has an entire airplane. She is a lady you should treat her with respect her and her family, strike 2." The guy gives Erin a mischievous grin as Erin lets his wrist go, Haruka watching Erin closely for any motion for help. Michiru patting Setsuna's hand on the table.
"She must have hit real rock bottom to be with a loser like you." Erin just shakes her head.
"Sir from my perspective you are the loser not I, I have a beautiful woman at my side" Erin puts a hand on Setsuna's leg near her knee." A beautiful daughter"Erin smiles at Hotaru " and a great "brother"and his lover I am quiet happy with my family. You sir are a man who has nothing, well is seems you have plenty of hair gel." The man grits his teeth seeing red he punches Erin in the jaw Erin's head wiping back, Setsuna and Michiru covering their mouth and surprise, Haruka starts getting up to kick his ass. Erin holds her hand up to signal Haruka to stay put. Erin then slowly rolls her neck causing it to pop as well as move her jaw side to side making it open and closes her mouth a few times to make sure it is back in its correct position.
"Ok then apparently you must speak another language then me." Erin adjusts her tuxedo." So allow me to translate for you," Erin cold cocks the man with a right hook, the sound of the man's cracking jaw can be heard as he hits the floor. Erin wipes her knuckles off on a near by napkin. "That is strike 3," Erin grabs the unconscious man by the collar and drags him across the room to a table far in the back before returning to her seat." You ok Setsuna?" Setsuna smiles and leans against Erin's shoulder.
"Never better" Michiru turns to Haruka.
"Is every outing with Erin this much fun?" Haruka just chuckles and pulls Michiru against her.
"You are going to have plenty time to find out, because now that I have you I am not letting you go."
"You better not." Michiru kisses Haruka gently, soon it becomes deeper more passionate. Haruka pulls Michiru in the lap, as she strokes Michiru's thigh. Michiru runs her tongue along Haruka's lips, Haruka opening her mouth. Their tongue battle for superiority. Haruka continuing to slide her hand along the inside of Michiru's thigh, her fingertips brushing the edge of Michiru's panties
"Well I would say that ruined the evening, shall we head home?"
"Yes please I just want to get home and have some warm tea."Erin nods in agreement, the looks over to Haruka and Michiru. Then turns her attention to Setsuna with a mischievous grin.
"Looks like their in too" Motions towards the two lovers, Setsuna blushes as the idea of Erin and her doing that races through her mind.
"Yes before we get arrested for indecent exposure" Erin smiles kisses Setsuna's cheek then picks a pitcher of water and walks over to Haruka and Michiru. Erin clears her throat, no response Erin tries a second time louder no response.
"Oh well I tried.."With a sigh Erin dumps the water on the two lovers.
"Ah!" they both mutter as the water soaks their clothes.
"What did you do that for Erin.?" Erin puts the pitcher back on the table.
"Simple we should head back, before Michiru loose her dress." Erin turns her attention back to Setsuna offer her her hand. Haruka grumbles standing up in her moist tuxedo.
"Damn it Erin. Why are you such a pain in the ass?" Erin grins now offering Setsuna her arm, Setsuna happily taking Erin's arm, leaning into her. Hotaru pulls on Erin's pants leg, glancing down,Erin offers her hand to Hotaru,which Hotaru happily grabs it.
"Well someone has to keep you in line Haruka." Erin laughs and heads for the exit with Setsuna and Hotaru Michiru run a finger from Haruka's ear to the bottom of her chin.
"Come on Ruka we can pick up were we left off when we get back." Haruka smirks at the seductive tone in Michiru's voice. Scoops the woman up in her arms, Michiru lets out a small scream as Haruka picks her up. She pushes Haruka' chest softly. "Haruka warn me next time." Haruka grins nipping on Michiru's neck as she heads to the exit.
Setsuna unlocks her car as Erin starts her bike, pulling on her gloves, wiggling her fingers to make sure it is completely on. Setsuna waits till Hotaru climbs into the car before approaching Erin. Erin holding her helmet in her hands glances over at Setsuna.
"Aye love?" Now are never. Setsuna bites her lower lip for a moment, then grabs Erin's collar and kisses her cautiously. Erin's eyes shoot open for a second before she slowly returns the kiss. Michiru is right taking a leap is not always bad.. Gaining more confidence Setsuna invades Erin's mouth teasing her tongue, after a moment she turns red when she realizes why her tongue is pierced. Oh "that" is what you use it for.... Erin drops her helmet and pulls Setsuna closer. Haruka walks out of the gala then freezes almost dropping Michiru.
"Haruka what is wrong with you." Michiru climbs out of her arms glaring at Haruka. All Haruka can do is point, Michiru looks at what she is point at and covers her mouth. "Oh my god, go Setsuna." Haruka grins Dump water on me you old jackass now it is my turn. Haruka stands on a near by flower box
"WAIT TO GO SETSUNA, TAKE WHAT YOU WANT!!!" Michiru turns red and pulls Haruka down from the flower box.
"Haruka.." Erin and Setsuna break the kiss Setsuna, turns bright red and hides in Erin's chest.
"You bloody ........twit" Erin mutter , rubbing Setsuna's back
"What? You need someone to keep you in line.." Haruka grins opening the car door for Michiru. Erin snort and mumbles under her Ah you stupid little brat, you sheet are so going through the dirty part wash water.
"So you going to Michiru's tonight I take it?" Haruka turns head and stops one leg already in the car.
"Well we thought..."
"Actually Erin I wanted to ask you something" Setsuna pulls back from Erin, motions for her to bend down so she can whisper in her ear. Erin listen carefully then looks at Setsuna oddly.
"Are you sure? It is big enough but it is at least a hour away from nowhere."
"Yes that is perfect I want quiet."
"Ok, sure no problem just let me know when."
"What are you to talking about?" Michiru turns around in the car seat to look at the two.
"Well Michiru remember how we have been looking to live away from the city to have some quiet to compose?" Michiru nods slowly not sure were this is going. Erin quietly readjust her gloves before picking up her helmet.
"Well I though since Erin and Haruka have such a big place, that we could live with them. It saves us having to look for a place. I know it is safe for Hotaru , we may have to redecorate." Erin rolls her eyes and pulls her helmet over head buckling the chin strap, throwing her leg over the bike.
"You are kidding right?" Erin shakes her head no. Haruka grins at Michiru.
"I will race you home Erin." Haruka climbs the rest of the way in then puts her car and gear and fly out of the parking lot. Erin just shakes her head before glancing at Setsuna for a moment . Erin turns to pay the valets before taking off herself. Setsuna stands there for a moment smiling as she watches Erin's disappearing back,before she gets in the car. Maybe getting stranded on the side of the road was not so bad after all Setsuna sets off to catch the two speed demons farther down the road.
