Disclaimer: I don't own Michiru or Haruka; I like to think of them as Human Patrimony….
I'm not too pleased because you stop reviewing me! I'm an ego writer don't you see? Anyway I promised that three reviews were enough for the next chapter so here I go.
I dedicate this chapter to amnesia nymph who makes me laugh a lot with her stories. (Ah she's a loyal reader to)

Chapter 16: Christmas tree.
"Hi Handsome"
"Hi Michiru what can I do for you?"
"Why do you assume I'm here to ask you something?"
"For once you're blinking a lot and then there's the 'handsome' thing"
"Ok, you got me; I need a little teeny tiny favour Iñaki dear…"
"What?"
"I need you to take me to the Hatachi Awards"
"I Can't I have a date "
"Oh please, this is a life or death issue!"
"Why? You don't even like parties, remember?"
"Haruka is going to be there, I need to see her"
"She's on the garage next door, go talk to her now."
"Please, please, don't make me beg, you can have your date every other night, I'll cook for you…"
"Mh…."
"Is that a yes?"
"Ok, but If my date ditches me because of this, I'll drag you downtown to find me another one"
"Thanks" Michiru kissed Iñaki's cheeks and run off, she had many things to do.
"Wait! What about the dinner you're cooking for us? Michiru!"
Michiru came home late in the afternoon, she had spend most of the evening in the Salon, she was doing anything possible to look absolutely fantastic, she was feeling tired so she went to bed early but she find out she was to anxious to sleep.
She woke up early and enter the kitchen the next morning.
"Morning Miss"
"Morning"
"I cleaned the Christmas stuff and is ready to be placed."
"Excellent, let's get into it"
"There's a little problem…"
"What?"
"There's no Christmas tree."
"Haruka promised to buy it" "Mh, why don't you call her and ask her if she's buying one?"
"Mr. Tenoh?"
"Of course, Mr. Tenoh, who do you want to call Santa Claus?
"But… Why don't you call her?" Michiru gave Shi a dirty look; she knew she couldn't do that. "Ok. Ok but you better get me a nice Christmas present…."
---------------o-------------o----------
"Hello?"
"Mr. Tenoh?"
"Shi? Is everything all right? Is Michiru ok?"
"Yes, yes everything is fine, I wanted to ask you…"
"What?"
"If you're bringing the Christmas tree this year?"
"I don't know, what did Michiru said?"
"Ah…"
"Is she there?"
"Oh, I'm not sure, let me see…" Shi handed the phone to Michiru who waited a moment before answering.
"Hello?"
"Hi, hey do you want me to buy the Christmas tree?"
"Oh, well… are you coming home for Christmas?" "Please say yes"
"If you want me too" "Please say yes"
"Ok then, bring it"
"Fine, I'll bring it tomorrow, is it ok?"
"Ok, then I'll see you tomorrow…"
"Bye"
"Haruka…"
"Yes?"
"I miss you"
"Me too"
"What a perfect day" Michiru was sure her plan would work, Haruka was softer and that was a good sign. She spent the morning placing all kinds of Christmas decorations and baking some cookies, later in the afternoon she went upstairs to get ready.
She finished her makeover just in time, she was looking amazing, she saw herself in the mirror surprised by her good looks, she looked better than she had expected, her soft skin seemed to glow, her hair lifted made her neck look longer and elegant, a few curls left out softened her face, her ayes sparkle and the dress looked spectacular on here, attaching to the exact parts of her body revealing her curves, her breasts showing just enough to burst desire. She was perfect.
She came downstairs to meet Iñaki, he was surprised too.
"Wow!"
"Thanks, it's my battle outfit"
"Shall we go?"
They arrived to the party short after that, Iñaki helped her stepped out of the car and then they were attacked by the press. "Oh my God, I forgot the press."
Flash, flash.
"Miss Kaioh, are the rumours of your split truth?"
Flash, flash.
"Mr. Kiyama are you two dating now?"
Flash, flash.
"What do you think of 'the thunder' Miss?"
Flash, flash.
Michiru's mind couldn't work so fast she tried to answer all the questions, but she was overwhelmed. "I…we, we are still engaged…" Michiru lifted her hand to show the ring.
Flash, flash.
"We are just friends"
"Mr. Kiyama !"
Flash, flash. Iñaki, took Michiru's arm and gently dragged her inside. "You forgot the press, didn't you?"
"Yes, I didn't know what to say"
"It's ok, we are here now, so shall we look for Haruka?"
An hour later Michiru and Iñaki were sat down in a table near the entrance, there was no sign of Haruka.
"Are you sure she's coming?"
"Mh…"
"Champagne Miss?"
"Thanks"
------------o-------------------o-------------
"Why aren't you dress yet?" Haruka was annoyed, it was late and she hated to be late. Tundra was lazily lying on the couch watching TV.
"I don't feel like going…"
"You're getting an award!" Haruka was outraged, Tundra was too lazy, the house was messy there were dishes in the sink, Tundra didn't lift up a finger and the maid didn't showed for work that day.
"I know, but its bad luck to get those"
"Come on, don't tell me you're superstitious"
"Well the truth is that I prefer to stay home and play…. If I don't show up I'll be mysterious."
"You'll be rude, not mysterious"
"Come on, don't you want to stay here with me?"
"Ok have it your way"
"I always do"
Haruka was angry, Tundra was bold and hot but she was getting tired of it, she hadn't had a decent meal or cup of coffee in a long time, and the truth is that she missed Michiru, she though of her all the time, she was feeling guilty about leaving home instead of working their problems, she was leaving Tundra tomorrow, and going home were she belonged.
------------------o-----------------o-----------
"More Champagne Miss?"
"Thanks"
"Don't get Drunk Kaioh"
"I won't, where is Haruka? I think she's not coming, the awards are almost over." Michiru was depressed, all this work for nothing, neither Tundra nor Haruka came to the party, they were sitting next to some nice couples, and Michiru was socializing well but she felt sad.
"So are you together? " A young woman dressed in a red suit was talking with Michiru.
"No, we are just friends"
"I see, it's a shame though, want a smoke?"
"Sure"
"I didn't know you smoked" Iñaki talked back at her once more.
Michiru turned to face him. "I quit it long time ago, but … well bad habits die hard"
"You'll get cancer"
"Oh don't bug me…"
Iñaki managed to get a lightly drunk Michiru out of the party just past midnight, as soon as she get home Michiru thrown herself at bed, she was very disappointed and light-headed, well tomorrow would be another day.
--------------o-----------------o------------------
"Good Morning Haruka"
"Tundra, ah we need to talk"
"First your coffee, I just buy it across the street."
"Ok, thanks, well…."
"Wait" Tundra smile widely "First read your paper…"
"Ok thanks"
--------------------o------------------o-----------------
"Morning Miss."
"Oh, please don't shout." Michiru had by far the worst hangover of her life, she was not only hangover from alcohol but also from cigar ( Isn't that the worst?)"Could you please get me a couple of aspirins and a coffee?"
"Yes Miss, Oh I had to tell you that…"
"first the aspirins" Michiru turned around to went upstairs and have a really long cold shower, her head was killing her, when she saw a huge Christmas tree on the entrance hall. "Who brought this?"
