"Why are we here, again

Warning (in case you didn't read the last one): There are gay couple's in this. Yes, woman and woman, man and man. If you can't handle it, then don't read. If you can, enjoy the show! Oh, and there is some American dub bashing. I couldn't help myself.

"Why are we here, again?" Haruka calmly asked, leaning against the restaurant's wall.

"We're here because Jen asked us to come. It would be rude to just ignore a friend's wish," Michiru replied softly.

"Ok. But why are we really here?" Haruka countered with a smirk.

"She took my violin and all my swimsuits. She refuses to give them back until after the date," Michiru sighed, her lower lip quivering a bit.

Haruka gently grasped Michiru's chin in her hand and turned Michiru's face towards hers. An evil gleam glimmered in her light blue eyes as she gazed into Michiru's dark blue pools.

"You know, we really don't need swimsuits to go swimming…"

Haruka pulled Michiru into a soft embrace. She lifted her chin up slightly, until their lips met in a tender kiss. Michiru's lips tasted a tad lemony. Haruka groaned slightly as Michiru pushed her away and broke the kiss. A faint smile graced Michiru's pink lips as she looked down at the ground shyly.

"You hentai. Is that all you ever think about?" Michiru teased.

Haruka quirked her eyebrow and smirked.

"So, I told you my bargaining chip. What did she threaten you with?"

"She took my motorcycle. We're lucky that we needed the car to get here, otherwise she would have taken that, too."

"That's it?"

"Then there's the other thing…"

"The cousin thing?"

"Yup, the cousin thing. She'll tell all of Japan that we're cousins. Damn Americans."

"At least we didn't get hit that hard. Remember poor Zoicite?"

"Yeah, that poor man. Did he ever get counseling for that?"

"I don't know. Are they the people we are supposed to meet?"

Haruka looked into the crowd and saw two people approaching them. The dark-haired, scowling boy had his arm around the braided woman beside him. As they got closer, Haruka leaned over to Michiru and whispered in her ear, "I thought she said they were a gay couple."
