Chapter One: It had to be you
2 years before
She was nervous; the funny thing was that when she played for hundreds of people she felt like fish in the water, the hard time was socialize with them. She didn't exactly hate parties; she just didn't seem to fit in. She walk down the stairs looking like a calm and cool Princess in her long white night dress - even though all she wanted was to fled the party as soon as possible-. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes and there he was.
He was wearing a Black tux, his blond short hair make a perfect match with his blue eyes when their eyes meet he smile cockily at Michiru and all Michiru could do was face the floor "I'm making an ass of myself" She blushed so hard that her cheeks were hot.
"Miss Kaioh so nice of you to show up!" The woman next to her was the party host so even though she wanted to cry and run away she fixed up a nice smile at her.
"Thank you for inviting me Ms. Monaghan this is a lovely party" Ms. Christina Monaghan was a member of the Tokyo City Music Committee which had recently accepted Michiru as First Violin for the city orchestra, these Kind of connections were very important for her career.
" Oh! I'm being so rude let me introduce you to everyone". For the next hour and a half Michiru was introduce to virtually everyone. She received a bunch of complements for her extraordinary performance in the concert early that evening and of course by her looks. "I'm so bored! How long would it take for someone to stop telling how beautiful I am and offer me a drink or a chair? For the evening she wore a white lace pair of sandals with a 5 inch heels that looked adorable but make her feet sore as hell.
She managed to glue off Ms. Monaghan and was about to reach the door when a low whisper stop her " It isn't polite to fled a party without saying goodbye" The voice came form the Tux guy. ( Of course you already knew didn't you?)
"I was just….." "Busted!"
"I don't believe we have been properly introduce . I'm Haruka, Tenou Haruka . Michiru Kaioh isn't it?"
"Yes" "So close to escape …say something else!"
"Can I offer you a Drink Miss Kaioh?" He took her by the arm so there was really no way out
"You can offer me a room! Oh god what I am thinking!". "Thanks." "thanks? What are you monosyllabic?"
"So you don't speak a lot do you?" Michiru's face blushed again making Haruka laugh.
"Oh, well I'm shy., oh no here comes Ms. Monaghan!"
"Darling Michiru, I've thought I lose you, oh I see you've met my niece Haruka" "Niece?" "She wasn't being inappropriate was she?"
"No" "He's a girl? Oh god besides being completely social inadequate I need glasses" "She kindly offer to take me to the hotel" Haruka made a grin, and Michiru winked in return, Haruka seem to understand the gesture and nodded.
"Oh I'm so sorry you have to leave, maybe you can come later another day …"
"Absolutely, good night Ms. Monaghan" "That was a quick escape" Haruka offer her arm once more and she gently accept it.
"Good Night aunty Christina"
"Be good Haruka, please" That sounded more like a pray than like a sweet suggestion and Michiru wonder what she have meant but the joy of leaving the party and finally remove those 5 inch heels wash her concerns away.
The valet parking pulled off a spectacular yellow convertible in which they left. The silence was broken by Haruka's low voice. "You tricked me"
"Sorry If you want I can take a cab"
"And let my aunt kill me? Where are you staying?"
"Emperor's Hotel"
"Fine, but you owe me…" Racing to the streets of Tokyo they get to the hotel in no time, Michiru was opening the door ready to leave when Haruka hold her hand. "I'll pick you at 9 o´clock" " what for?"
"Hum?"
"You owe my breakfast, see you tomorrow Miss Kaioh"
"Fine, good Night Miss Tenoh" Haruka made another grin at the hearing of the "Miss" part but remain silence. After that she pulled her car away in the night. Michiru stared at the car with a warm smile in her lips . "what a little scamp! So adorable…what I'm saying she's a girl….do I really care?" Blushed again Michiru brushed her feelings and enter the Hotel when for the first time in weeks she get a good night sleep.
