Chapter 5 : Calm before the storm.
Haruka and Michiru stayed up after dinner in the living room, the whole meal Haruka was quiet (let's say pissed) and the tension was huge.
"Michi, where those cigarettes really yours?"
"Yes, I'm sorry Haruka, I know I said I quit , I was just too stressed"
"That is no excuse, how would you raise our children with such bad habits?"
"Children? Ah, imagine that little Tazukitos running around…"
"Don't smile! Are you paying any attention to me at all, Michiru?"
"Yes, ah I'm sorry it won't happen again but it's not like you're healthy you get drunk every weekend"
"Don't change the subject, I'm not the one who's supposed to get pregnant besides, don't you smoked those thin mint ones?" Haruka cannot pretend to be very angry at Michiru after all it was not such big deal, she had been under a lot of stress lately…
"Ah… oh quit it, why don't you better give me a kiss?"
"I don't kiss ashtrays"
"Haruka please, I just washed my teeth" "And I didn't smoke anything! Liar Liar! I hate lies"
"Promise me you won't do it again"
"Fine. I promise, so I get my kiss now?" "The ironic part is that I could really use a smoke now…"
"Oh you'll get more than that I can assure you…"
"Mh… Haruka…"
-----------------o-------------------o-------------
"I don't get it Michi, why did you stand up for her? She's a menace…."
"She's troubled, but I think she deserve another chance, she's getting softer, today she even thank me for her breakfast"
"Ah Michi, that's her obligation…. I don't know what's wrong with you; she treats you like a rug"
"She's not that bad"
"I know what's going on Michi"
"Really, what Kay?"
"You saw yourself in her, but that's not real you're so much nicer, I think you feel sorry because you believe she's living your youth"
"Oh, don't psycho analyze me I'm … well when I was Taz age I'll love to have a family to go to, boarders schools ae not warm and I don't even want to think how are boot camps, she'll get resented, I'm sure we'll get along fine in just a few days."
"Well after all you believe in fairy tales…."
Tazuka came into the kitchen to fiend Michiru with Kay having tea, she was wearing a bikini top and jeans, obviously she was going out.
"Good afternoon M, who's your friend?"
"This is my best friend Kay, Kay this is Tazuka"
"A pleasure"
"So, I'm going out"
"Haruka knows about it?"
"Yes"
"Have a nice day dear"
"Whatever, hey M could you buy me whole milk instead of that skim one you drink?"
"Sure"
"Eh… thanks, bye"
Tazuka left the kitchen.
"Lovely girl"
"What? She was polite"
"Yeah, what's with the M thing?"
"I hope it stands for Michiru"
"Yeah me too, so have you chose the colour of the bride's maid dresses?"
----------------------o----------------------o-------------------------
Michiru spent the rest of the day finishing a few details of her wedding and then she made dinner, Tazuka called Haruka to tell her she was not catching dinner….
"It feels like forever since we have some alone time"
"I've missed you too"
"I think you should move back to our room Michiru"
"Don't you think it will be too much for Taz ?"
"Forget about her, it's been enough for me, I need you know…"
"That's all you miss?"
"Oh no, don't get me wrong but that's what I miss the most"
"Fine"
"Hey I have to tell you something"
"Please tell me you have no more brothers or sisters"
"No, but I'm going out of town a few days"
"Why? Where?"
"I have to go to Daytona for a photo shoot"
"Are you taking Taz with you, right?"
"I can't I won't have any time to take care of her, do you think you can handle her just a few days?"
"Mh… I don't know it's too much responsibility, let me think about it."
"I need your answer tomorrow."
----------------------------o-------------------o---------------------------
Michiru stayed downstairs washing the dishes cause it was Shi's free day, she hated to let the dishes in the sink and saw them the next day, she heard the front door and Tazuka coming in to the kitchen.
"Hi Tazuka. Do you want some dinner?"
"No, I just ate a big burger… ah I wanted to speak to you"
Michiru dry her hands with a kitchen towel and turned to face Tazuka.
"What is it?"
"Thanks"
"What for?"
"Thanks for the cigarette thing, I don't want to go to a boot camp and I know it would have been easy for you to tell Haruka the cigarettes were mine and get rid of me, thanks"
"Your welcome, just don't do it again please, I won't cover up for you again"
"Ok, well good night M"
"Good night Taz"
-------------------------o------------------------o-----------------
"Why are you smiling Michi?"
"I'll do it"
"What?"
"I'll watch Taz when you go to Daytona"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, now you promise me something…."
"Oh yes and I tend to fulfil my promises….

(ah! Do you think Michiru can handle Tazuka on her own? I think…oh well you can find out what I think if you review me!)
