Unwelcome to the Family Miss Kaioh!

By auraluna7

Chapter 10: Michiru's day out.

Michiru was happy, there were few things in this world that make her so happy and shopping was on her top ten, she was window shopping for the perfect thing to buy, she needed it to be something that reminded Haruka how much did it cost every time she see it. "That'll show her", something nice but no too expensive, Michiru didn't intended to clear Haruka's account just thin it a little, she was loosing her hope cause nothing was exactly what she wanted, she saw a lot of pretty things but nothing seemed the right thing... and the she saw it, standing on a velvet coushing was the perfect thing..."Got you!"

After paying her treasure, Michiru decided to have a nice expensive lunch to celebrate, she sat down in a terraze and ask for a delicious lunch, she was no longer angry with Haruka now, she was a bit hurt but after all what they have been trough they could survive to this outburst, she took notes of a few things she wanted to do before getting back home when a waiter come next to her.

"Miss, the gentlemn over there sent you a bottle of wine..."

Michiru smiled, this had happened to her before. "Return it please, tell him I'm not interested."

"Ok Miss" The man turned around and came back 2 minutes later still hoding the tray, Miss Kaioh he says you know him, here's his card. Michiru sighted, then lift the card and laugh of herself... Haruka's father was her fan. She turned her head and saw him, she nod in thanks.

"Just one glass please."

"Ok Miss."

"Please tell Mr. Tenoh that I'll be glad if he joins me for lunch..."

Hazuko Tenoh sat in front of Michiru just a few minutes later, he was wearing a black Armani Suit, he was so handsome, Michiru noticed how other woman looked back at her table and she smiled. "I bet they hope he's my father..." "Thanks for joining me Mr. Tenoh"

"It's always a pleasure to have lunch with a pretty woman, Miss Kaioh, besides I must confess myself I was glad to found you cause I need to ask you for a little favour"

Michiru remembered how Haruka always complaint about Hazuko never doing anything uninterested, perhaps this was the pay off helping her with Tazuka. "What can I do for you Sir?"

"I'm sorry to be so direct but I have little time Miss, I need you to help me win my daughters back, I'm not quite sure how much you know about the issue but I'm sure you'll have noticed by now that things between haruka and I are not quite good, when you're young Miss Kaioh sometimes you make mistakes that cannot be easily repair, I'm an old man I the last thing I want to do it's leave this world without making peace with them."

Michiru didn't know what to say, the man in front of her aged 10 years just talking about her daugthers, but she was not sure what to make, how could she help him? It's not like she had a huge amount of power over Haruka once she decided to do something. "I, I don't know how could I help you ..."

"Miss... Michiru, I can call you that right?" Michiru nodded. "You're just in the right spot to help me, you can be ... let's say a bridge between us, all you have to do is convince her to see me, the rest it's up to me... I know you hesitate but if you do this for me I'll... be greatful to you forever..."

"So... what do you have in mind?"

-------------------o--------------------o----------------------

Michiru came back to the house a few hours later, she opened the door after taking a deep breath she has planned this over and over, it was a good idea, what evil could come from reconciliating Haruka and her father? A larger family is always better she thought, Haruka was going to listen to her, she owe it...

Haruka heard Michiru's car on the driveway and smiled, after shopping Michiru was always in a good mood, perhaps she had alrwady forgotten her big mouth outburst. Michiru opened the door the exact moment Haruka entered the entrance hall. Haruka looked at her holding a small shopping bag. "Hi Michi, do I go by myself to get your shopping or do I need help to carry them?"

Michiru smiled. "Hi hon, what? There's nothing else in the car, I've only bought one thing..."

"Something's not right" "Please tell me it's not a diamond tiara..."

"Don't be silly, here I bought me some shoes."

Haruka sighted, "So Michi was not that mad, wait why is she smiling? Oh god..." "Just shoes, how much this your shoes cost?"

"Oh you have better not asked"

"Oh Michi...let me sit down and then you tell me...WHAT? 2000 DOLLARS? YOU PAID 2000 DOLLARS FOR A PAIR OF SHOES ?"

"Don't scream! They are Manolo Blanhik shoes, and this was your punishment so stop it or I'll go back to the store to get the matching purse!"

Haruka sighted once more, and sat down. "Fine, I deserve it, at list let me see them..."

Michiru lend the shopping back to Haruka then she sat down and gently kissed Haruka's neck.

"Ruka... guess who I ran into lunch today?"

"I don't know but I hope I didn't paid for his lunch too..."

"Silly... I met you father" Haruka went serious inmediatly.

"What did he wanted?"

"Don't be rude, he's always been nice to me"

"Lucky you, so what did he wanted? Rubbed in how he helped you with Taz?"

"No, actually I suggested we should have dinner sometime"

"Good Luck"

"WE should get dinner sometime I mean I need a nice ocasion to use my new shoes"

"I'll take you to dinner, we on earth should we go to dinner with my father? He's a monster Michi, never in his life he has done nothing without a hidden intention."

"I told him we'll go uot for dinner next week"

"No!"

"It's not a question, you owe me for yesterday..."

"Nah, those shoes where the fee"

"Don't push your luck... those shoes where the fee for not killing you if you intend to ever sleep with me in the same room you should consider this dinner..."

Haruka was getting annoyed, but she found no logical argument to fight Michiru back. "Fine, we'l go and then I'll show you how he surely wants something form us... in fact I bet you , if he wants something from us then you'll replace the money on my account"

"Fine, if not you'll buy me the purse"

"OK"

Michiru kissed Haruka briefly in the lips, her task was easier than she thought, perhaps Haruka secretly wanted to see her father too. "I'll go upstairs to place my shoes."

"Michi does that shoes really cost 2000 dollars?"

"Something like that"

"What do you mean?" Michiru began climbing the steps and half the way up she turned around and face Haruka with an evil smile

"Well do you recall I said the shoes where worth 2000?" Haruka nodded "Well I meant 2000 each..."

"YOU BETTER RUN KAIOH!"
