Disclaimer: I don't own neither Haruka nor Michiru (How sad no?) but this crazy story is mine.
Thanks for your reviews I'm really thrilled.
Unwelcome to the family Miss Kaioh!

Chapter 18: Plan B
"What happened with the Agreement Kitten?"
"I decided it was a bad idea"
"She talked you out of it?"
"No, she signed it but I chose not to go further with it"
Hazuko Tenoh knew that pushing Haruka was not the smartest choice, he needed another option. Unluckily for Michiru, Hazuko always got a plan B. "Ok it's your call, do you know ...the other day I was thinking about the time I take you to a ski trip do you recall it?"
"Sure, we have a great time"
"I was thinking that perhaps I should take you and your sister for a weekend in Aspen, what do you say? Just the three of us"
"I guess it's a good idea, Taz would love it"
"Fine then talk it with Michiru and confirm me ok?"
"I don't think that'll be a problem..."
---------------o------------------o--------
Ring, ring
"How is it?"
"Michiru I got great news!"
"Kay?"
"Yes, it's me, I got wonderful news...guess what? We won!"
"No way! We did? Oh Kay this is so wonderful what did..."
"I'll explain it to you in person, I'll drive by your house later ok?"
"Ok, see you then" Michiru hanged the phone smiling, could this be truth? Things could not be more perfect.
-----------------0-----------------0-------------
"So what did your father said about..."
"He didn't mind"
"Sure?"
"Of course Michi, I told you this had to be a misunderstanding, about that... he wants to take us to ski in Aspen...well just Tazuka and I do you mind? If you wish you can go, I'll talk to him"
"No, it's ok I guess, father-daughter thing right? When do you leave?"
"This weekend"
"Ok, I guess"
"I have to make a quick trip to the tracks to see some things but I'll be back for dinner ok princess?"
"Fine"
Michiru sat down to get some rest, she hadn't had a good night sleep in a long time, she was worried about Haruka's father she knew deep inside that Hazuko could not gave up so easily but she could not find a way to tell Haruka her fears, she was so happy to have her father back that Michiru was uncapable of bursting her bubble.
"Miss, Mrs Kay is here"
"Let her in please Shi"
Kay entered the room smiling, she just loved to win. "Darling! Didn'tI told you we'll win? Congratulations!" Michiru gave Kay a hug.
"I barely can believe it...my parent's house, I thought I'll never see it again"
"I'm surprised you didn't fought for it before"
"I thought it was a lost cause, now that I got the house back I'm so happy, how could I ever repay you?"
"Oh you can invite us for summer vacations, I've never been in Kyoto...so have you told Haruka yet?"
"No"
"Why? She had the idea remember?"
"It's just that..."
"What?"
"I don't want to tell her yet, I have to go check it out first if it is in terrible conditions I'll sell it,Idon't want Haruka to put her money in a money-pit, I don't want her father to think that I'm marring her for her money,I rather sold the house that having Haruka investing in it"
"Don't be silly Michi, I bet she'll be glad to help you"
"I know that but...I'll have to see it first, I'll tell her eventually, maybe if the house is in good conditions we can take it as summer residence..."
"I'm not sure Michi, I think you should tell her, but it's your call"
"Yeah, I know"
------------o-----------------o-----------
"Ski trip! Oh Haruka this is so great we are going to have so much fun! Michiru do you ski?"
"No"
"Oh me neither, we'll take lessons"
"I'm not coming with you dear"
"You don't wish to go?"
"Ah Taz, father wants this to be a father-daughter trip"
"Oh, she didn't invite you?"
"It's ok Taz, I'll go make some tea, wish some?"
"No thanks" Michiru stand up and left the dinning room, Taz then looked at Haruka. "Are you serious? Are you leaving her just a few weeks before the wedding?"
"She's ok with it"
"I'm not buying it"
"Michiru doesn't tend to lie, if she says she's ok with it I believe her"
"Ah Haruka I'm surprised of your innocence..."
---------------o------------------o---------------
"Michi are you sure you'll be ok?"
"Yes Haruka, I had a lot of stuff to do, don't worry"
"But...maybe I should call of this trip thing"
"No you should go, that way you can talk nice things about me to your father"
"Why do you say that? Has he been rude to you?"
"No...I didn't mean anything don't pay attention, let's get some sleep ok? I'm tired"
"Ok Michi, good night"
---------------------o---------------o------------
"Haruka and Taz are leaving on friday, I'm off to Kyoto the moment they cross that door, I'll be back before they even know it"
"I still think this is the worst idea you've ever got, what would you say if Haruka calls and you're not home ah?"
"She won't call, she told me there was a very poor reception on the hotel they're going to stay in; shesaid tome she'll probably just call on Sunday when she got a chance to go to the town."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"I'll be fine Kay, just wish me luck"
"Good luck Michiru"
"I'll call you as soon as I get back"
Michiru hanged off the phone and sighted, this was good idea right? Just a little secret, just a temporal lie...what could possibly go wrong? The restless feeling in her chest was harder than ever... "calm down everything is going to be just fine"
"Michiru?" Michiru jumped in surprise, Haruka was standing next to her looking concerned.
"You scare me"
"It shows, are you alright? You looked stressed, do you have headache again?"
"No, I'm ... let's go to bed ok?"
"Oh I like the sound of that..." Haruka pressed her lips against Michiru's, for a second Michiru forgot her fears and embrase the safety feeling of being on Haruka's arms.
"I love you"
"Me too Michi..."
(Bets? What's Hazuko's plan? Would Michiru 'temporal lie' would come around and bite her ass? Oh you'll have to review to find out...)
