More of my dysfunctional writings....



Later that night diner was over and Michiru was warming up on her violin Haruka and her mother were talking about various topics.

"So how long are you going to stay with us?" Haruka asked her mother.

"I was thinking about staying here till you find yourself a nice man and settle down in a place of your own, without Michiru with you. Or will you move her into your home when you find a husband?"

Haruka snickered and adjusted herself on her spot on the couch. "Mom, I don't think you really understand. I know I have spent the majority of my adult life with Michiru, but I don't think that that should hold a problem with you. I'm very good friends with Michiru and I think we do better if we're together."

"Well I'm just worried that she'll hinder you in the field of dating. Have you been dating anyone recently?"

"No mother, not really, I just don't think it's that important to me right now. I'd like to concentrate on the projects I have going on right now."

"Like what?"

"I'm still working on that Land Cruiser, I've become a top racer in cars and motorcycles and I think I'd like to remain single as long as I'm posing as a man in the racing industry."

"Your posing as a MAN?!" her mother screamed. "How on earth are you doing THAT?!"

"Well you have to admit I do have the tone of a man from time to time. And there have even been rumors going around that I'm dating Michiru." both girls laughed lightly at that.

"I think I'm all warmed up," Michiru said. "I'll start with something I wrote myself." and with that she placed her bow on the strings and pulled a long note from the violin, the beginning of a slow rhapsody she composed when she was still working as a sailor scout. It was actually more of a requium than a rhapsody. The long notes drew pictures of their turmoil in Haruka's head. Visions of their hearts being forced out of their bodies and sacrificing themselves for their princess aver and over again, knowing that it was worth it in the end.

"That was lovely," Haruka's mother commented. "How did you ever come up with something that beautiful?"

"Well there was a time where Michiru and I were having some problems with life and she composed that in the midst of all the trama."

"I could hardly think that the two of you would be having troubles, seeing as how you live in such a way that royalty would be jelous."

"Money does not really conclude to happiness, Mrs. Tenoh." Michiru said.

"Well you have everything, look at this place. All your missing is servants to beg at your feet and you would have everything."

"Except for the fact that we do not want servants. We feel as though servants would make us look arrogant."

"Well you seem to have no problem with looking arrogant with all of these things you have. Like this house, it's a waste of space and it's an ecological nightmare. I'm sure you could live without this monstrosity and maybe find something better to do with the money, like give to charities. And I'm sure you could deal without all the cars you own, like the new one each year."

"Mother, please stop," Haruka stopped her mothers bantering at Michiru. "Michiru may be rich but you have to remember your daughter also pays for all of this also. We do give to charities and we buy a new car every year only to sell the old one at a lower price, call it sparking the economy."

Haruka's mother stood and bowed to the two girls. "I'm beginning to feel a bit tired, I'll be going to bed now. Good night." And with that she turned and left the room.

A single tear found it's way down Michiru's cheek. "Already the first day and she begins to pick my life apart." She wiped her cheek and placed her violin in it's case. "How does she do that? She makes me feel so small and insignificant with only a few words."

Haruka walked over to Michiru and placed a hand on her quivering shoulder. "Love, you are anything but insignificant in my eyes." and with that she leaned down and kissed Michiru on the back of her neck, sending shivers down her spine.

"You always did have a hold over me like that." she smiled and turned around, her eyes still a little discolored from the few tears. "I guess this daughter is nothing like mother." She leaned up to Haruka and kissed her softly.

"God I hope not." Haruka said and kissed Michiru again.

There was the sound of footfalls on the steps and both girls pulled away, and just in time. With out knocking Mrs. Tenoh walked into the room and looked at them. "I came down here to ask my daughter to show me to the gym area that she told me of earlier."

"Yes mother," Haruka said wiping her mouth a bit. She showed her mother out of the room and turned to blow Michiru a kiss, instead Michiru caught her lips with her own and gave her a quick kiss. "You like danger too much Michiru," she said winking at her.

"I know I do,"
