Chapter 13: The trap
Michiru open her eyes next morning to find out she was alone in bed, Haruka was pobably out jogging and let her sleep a little longer; Michiru smiled, the memories of the night before were as real as the soft touch of the silk sheets on her bare skin; but something was not right; she could feel a presence in the room, she slowly rolled to leave the bed and she almost fell down with surprise; Tazuka was standing next to the door staring at her, when she notice Michiru was awake she spoke:
"Good Morning Michiru"
"Good... what are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you to woke up, Haruka threaten me not to wake you up myselfbut I need a little favour."
"Now?"
"Ah...yeah. Today we are visiting a museum and we were aloud to wear casual clothes and...well I think you were right I don't want to wear pants forever so I was thinking you might lend me something to wear."
"Ok" Michiru stay right where she was, hoping for Tazuka to leave but the girl was planted in front of her.
"Could it be just now? I'm already late for school.
Michiru couldn't found the right words, she cleared her throat and took a deep breath before speaking again. "Taz darling, can I have a few minutes ?" Taz didn't seem to understand this, Michiru sighted, she was now sure that she was by far more embarrased than the yesterday. "You see...I...I'm not wearing clothes under this dear." Tazuka open her eyes widely and blushed hard.
"I'm so so so sorry Michi, I'll go wait outside." Tazuka rushed to the door and close it with strenght. Michiru get out of bed and in just a few minutes she ws dressed more properly (well dressed at list) then she open the door.
"You can come in now"
"Michi I'm really sorry"
"Let's not mention this again ok?"
"Deal"
Michiru open her closet door and looked back at taz. "Tell me what do you have in mind?"
"The flowered blue dress"
"Excellent, so did you have fun last night Taz?"
"Very, I hope Haruka would let me see him more often"
"Oh, I'm sure of it. Here it is, be careful I like this one a lot"
"Thanks, er... Michi? You love Haruka very much right?"
"Of course I do, she means the world to me"
"Promise me you won't leave, pomise me you'll make us a family once more." Tazuka's voice was more like a pray than anything else, tears flooded her beautiful green eyes; Michiru looked at her with tender in her eyes; she looked so much like Haruka; she hold her hands into hers.
"I promise Taz, you don't need to worry: we are already a family"
An embarrasing silent followed up to this, taz wiped her tears away and smile once more. "I better hurry, I'll see you later, thanks for the dress" And she rushed to the door.
"Have a nice day!" Taz looked at Michiru with blush on her cheeks.
"I love you Michi" Then she ran off. Michiru was so happy, Haruka was right nothing wrong could happen.
-------------o----------------o-----------
A few days later Michiru was on the first trail of her wedding gown, Kiki and Kay where there with her.
"Michiru you look like a dream!"
Michiru turned around to face her reflect on the mirror; tears formed in her blue eyes when she recognize herself. The white gown seemed perfect, the cut was impecable it was certainly a dream. Michiru felt like the princess in all tose stories she used to read as a child.
"Don't cry Miss Kaioh it could ruin the embroidery here, have a hankerchief. " Michir spin around to see the white fabric floating around she was so happy.
"You need to pin up your hair to look just perfect"
"Oh Michi" Kiki was as excited as Michiru these days she didn't go out much her pregnancy was harder than expected and the extra weight was a burden for her. "Haruka is going to faint of happiness when she sees you"
"I can't wait"
"So have you thought who would walk you down the hall ?"
"No, well I thought I'll do it alone"
"That's bad luck. I'll make Thomas walk you down"
"He can't Kay he's the best man"
"Takeshi, then. Hey! Why don't you ask your father in law?"
"No, I mean he's not too progay, besides he'll like to walk his daughter not me"
"You said he liked you"
"He does... I think he does but I'm not even sure he'll come to the wedding"
"Is he handsome Michiru?"
"Is there anything else on your mind Kiki? Yes, he's handsome"
"Haruka handsome?"
"No, I guess Haruka takes after her mother, he's dark haired and more serious handsome. But you know the powerful seductive caharm that Haruka takes after him"
"So you like him then?"
"Oh, Kay don't be silly he could be my father"
"I was just saying I like older men"
--------------o-------------------o-------------
"Where's Haruka?"
"She is having dinner with your father"
"Why they didn't invite me then?"
"Oh, so you don't like hanging out with me?"
"I didn't say that. Oh ! Is that your wedding dress?"
"Aha, it turns out it didn't needed any adjustments, the sales woman said it was 'ment to be'"
"How exciting, hey can I ask you something Michi?"
"What is it?"
"Can I go out tonight with a friend?"
"You are grounded Taz you know that"
"Please!"
"Maybe some other time if Haruka lets you. I don't want to get into more trouble"
"But Michi, he's so..."
"He? Oh so is that kind of 'friend', don't make those puppy eyes I can't let you go, Haruka would kill me"
"Please, Michi pretty please. I'll be home early I swear."
"No, although... well if you need to study the I can aloud you a 'study partner' you know he could come here and i'll be watching you over."
"Thanks, thanks"
"I'm trusting you taz don't let me down."
----------------o------------------o-----------------
"So what was the urgent business father?"
"I's not urgent, but well it's important I wanted to get done with it before it was too late, here." Hazuko handed haruka a folder with a thick set of papers, Haruka looked at them without understanding.
"What's this?"
"A Prenupcial Agreement"
"What? I didn't ask you for this"
"Don't get upset. Let's keep it rational. How well do you know this girl Haruka? Ah, ah I know you are going to tell me you trust her is that right?" Haruka nodded "Well i'm not going to contradict you cause I know that's a lost abttle however I sincerely believe you are not thinking this through. You hold on a big resposability over your shoulders Kitten, Tazuka is your responsability you are her legal guardian and you hold her heritance if you don't wish to protect your assets it's ok, but you must know that the righ thing to do is protect your sister's future. Besides this is a standar prenup, almost every couple nowadays sign one..."
"I know for sure, Michiru would be incapable of touching Tazuka's heritance"
"Here listen to me. This is like an insurance you buy it hoping for the best but expcting the worst i bet you don't wish to die just because you got one right? This is like an insurance for divorce, you don't intend to get divorced do you?"
"No"
"So then what do you worry about? If Michiru is who you say she is she'll sign it. Cuase she's staying with you forever and she'll have nothing to fear, i would be good for you, for all of us"
Haruka remained silent weighting her father words, many of her friends have signed prenups, was her father right? If there where staying together then why worry? "Ok I'll give it to her, but i'm warning you; time wold prove me right we don't need it"
Hazuko smiled, Haruka was still his little trustful girl. "Good girl, Oh dear don't other reading it it's just legal terms"
--------------o---------------o--------------
Michiru was having a glass of wine on the library when she suddenly felt a cold breeze that make her shiver. Then she could hear the sound of a slammed door. She stand up and walk out the library she could catch a glimpse of Tazuka atching TV on the living room; her 'study date' had gone well. She followed the howling noise of the wind to the room upstairs where she kept her wedding gown hidden from haruka and open the door; the window was fully opened. She had a bad feeling while closing it down, she open the closet door and saw her dress right where she left it. "what's the matter with me? Everything is alright" Another loud sound make her jump; then she realized it was Haruka on the entrance hall, she smiled at herself for being silly and ran downstairs to meet her.
(I wonder what does Michiru would say about the prenup? I'll be pissed that's for sure... wanna know? Review! Probably I'll update till next week cause I'm off to the beach to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday so don't get impatient! Happy Birthday Babe!")
