Chapter 15

You and I are meant to be

''Please please please please please please!'' Michiru begged the black haired girl who still was slightly upset with Michiru's behaviour from earlier that day. For over half an hour Michiru had been pleading for Alexx to come along with her to her parents' house to keep Jack busy until she had told Haruka abouyt her engagement with him. Ofcourse until now she hadn't exactly succeeded yet. Alexx seemed to have no intention of helping her out anymore and Michiru couldn't blame her. She had treathened her friends like enemies. With that thought on her mind she stood up and gave her friend one last pleading look before turning around. She still had half an hour before her parents would arrive here to take her back home for the week. Michiru didn't know why but she wasn't nervous at all anymore. Somehow she had expected to be more upset with the fact her parents would be coming and the fact there was a chance they would find out about her and Haruka. But it still hadn't caused for any unwanted feelings yet. Sure, she didn't want to go to her parents' home, especially not now she and Haruka had finally worked out their differences but besides that...nothing. As if her make up talk with Haruka hadn't only taken away their doubts but also Michiru's fear of confronting her parents.

''Michiru..'' Alexx's voice suddenly came just when Michiru had reached the hall. The smaller girl turned around to face the black haired girl who was smiling sadly. Finally Alexx was saying something that didn't end with scolding or mean words but then again, all she had said so far was Michiru's name. ''I'm sorry I can't help you out this time. You know that if I come it will cause more problems, you can't lie your way through this one. You'll have to face reality now, Haruka will find out about your engagement and she'll probably be very mad, your parents will share that emotion too when they find out you and Haruka...A female are dating and that you've been lying to Jack by making him kiss another girl who he thought was you. I'm not sure if your fairy tale will have a happy ending.''

Now it was Michiru's turn to smile sadly. ''I'm not asking for a fairy tale.'' She then whispered, loud enough for Alexx to hear. ''I just want a happy ending with the one I truly love. Even my parents will have understand that.''

''Your parents didn't marry out of love.'' Alexx replied. ''You told me they had shared the same destiny as you and Jack will have to share if you don't wake up and start sticking up for yourself. Haruka is only human, she can only take a small amount of drama. Not what you are putting her through.'' Before Alexx or Michiru could say anything the front door flew open revealing Nao who seemed to be pretty excited about something.

''Oh my god you guys!'' The blonde chirped. ''There's a limo outside of the house with the lenght of Japan AND China. I guess this means your parents have arrived. Your mom looks pretty young, not what I expected. Besides I thought your mom would have aqua colored hair too.''

''No my mother has red hair.'' Michiru answered with a sigh wondering why she even bothered to reply anything. Nao would probably be as happy with her leave as Alexx seemed to be. Maybe it was because they would finally have some time together to sort their feelings for eachother out or maybe they still were mad at Michiru for her behaviour.

''Red ?'' Nao asked suprised. ''Then who's that raven haired chick who's waiting next to the limo?''

''The maid, Rei Hino.'' The smaller girl answered as she walked into the hall and took her suitcase ,which obviously seemed to be heavy, in her hands. ''Well I'm leaving now. Have fun you two..'' And with that she turned around to face the still closed front door. She felt sad that this was the way how she had to say goodbye to her friends. She wanted to leave a happy place, not a place full regret and anger.

''Michi...'' Nao then said placing a hand on the smaller girl's shoulder. Michiru gazed up wondering what Nao was going to do now. But what came next even suprised Alexx who had thought Nao would be really upset and pissed at Michiru. ''Good luck and play it save okay? I want you back in one piece.'' A smile appeared on Michiru's face as she nodded. Then she whispered a silent thanks to Nao and a goodbye to Alexx.

When Michiru got outside of the building she could see Rei standing next to a long white limo. Suddenly she could understand why people hated rich people so much. The way her parents had treathened Rei, but not only her parents, also Michiru..it wasn't humanity. It was more cruel but the smaller girl knew things would change. She would treath Rei just like a normal person, after all Rei was just like her...A human being who just did her work. ''Hi Rei.'' She greeted the maid with an honest smile on her face, suprising the raven haired girl.

'' Hi miss Kaioh, how was your stay?'' The maid asked polite causing Michiru to flinch. She didn't feel like talking to Rei in this kind of way.

''Just call me Michiru silly, we know eachother long enough and my stay here was great, i've met so many different people.'' Michiru said while handing the chauffeur her suitcase.

''I don't think your parents would approve of me calling you by your first name.'' Rei stated. She seemed to be really confused as if she hadn't expected Michiru to even bother talking to her. In the past this had been different, Michiru had looked like a spoiled girl who never talked to people from the lower class but it was obvious her stay at this public school had changed the smaller girl.

'' I don't care.'' Michiru answered smiling. ''So tell me, what have I missed, have my parents not done anything stupid like my dad getting my mom pregnant?'' This made Rei giggle but the moment she realised she was doing it she stopped. She had been raised as a maid by the Kaioh family and if she had learned one thing it was not to laugh when someone would make a fool out of someone from the Kaioh family.

''No your mother is still as skinny as she was when you left. Though you've missed a few things. Your mother simply flipped aftet you left. She was saying all kinds of things about you getting killed by the cruel world and that you would come back with a piercing or with black and pink hair. I guess she feared she had given her daughter away and would get a punk back in return.'' Rei said while shaking her head. She was not suppossed to tell anyone, especially Michiru, about this. But when the ranve haired maid gazed up again she could see Michiru was trying her best not to laugh. There was no doubt anymore, the aqua haired girl had changed completely, the question now was, would she still be able to please her parents and what would they say about Michiru's new behaviour. Rie didn't like to admit it but she liked this new Michiru much better than the old one.

''Rei, I want to apologize to you.'' Michiru suddenly said causing Rei to go wide eyed. The ranve haired girl was about to say something but the smaller girl interrupted her.''No don't say anything Rei, I really mean it. I treathed you like I was better than you which obviously wasn't true but I have to admit, the day before I left to this public school I finally realised the only reason for you being nice to me all the time was because...that's your job. But if it's not too late i'd like to try becoming your friend.''

For a moment the maid seemed to be at loss of words but then a smile appeared on her face as she nodded. ''I'd like that. I'm sure it'll make my work a lot nicer when having a friend.''

'' I agree.'' Michiru whispered while pulling the maid into a hug not knowing Nao and Alexx were watching her from the window of their room. Both were glad Michiru had finally learned her lesson but the aqua haired girl still had a long way to go. After all, the real trouble would start the moment she'd arrive at her house again. And with that Michiru and Rei stepped into the limo which drove off. Both Nao and Alexx now could only pray life would be kind with the smaller girl.

Haruka took a deep breath while knocking on the huge door. After the phone call with her lover she had felt a lot better but now she had finally arrived she couldn't help it but feel nervous. As if she knew something bad was going to happen. But one thing she had to admit, Michiru didn't lie when she said their house was huge. Their house looked like one of those villa's you only saw in movies. But before Haruka could even think of any other things to compare this house with the door opened revealing a tall and grey haired man who smiled politely.''Welcome back miss Kaioh. You've changed a lot...I didn't even recognise you.'' The old man said.

The blonde tomboy shook her head amused.''No sir i'm not Michiru, my name is Haruka Tenoh, i'm a teacher from Michiru's school.'' The man just nodded but it was obvious her hadn't heard anything of what Haruka had just said.

''Step further miss, your parents are waiting for you.'' He then added.

''No sir, you misunderstood, i'm not...ah never mind.'' She then muttered before following the old man through a long hall which was decorated with paintings for mermaids and the sea. They looked really expensive. After a while of walking through the huge hall they reached a huge wooden door which was opened by the old man. The door led to a huge room which seemed to be the dinner room. There stood a long table in the middle of the room on which a few vases with roses stood. Besides that there wasn't much in the room, only more paintings, this time of famous buildings, and a huge red carpet that reached to another door which opened the moment Haruka started to wonder what was behind it.

Through the door came walking a red haired woman who looked like some sort of queen. She was dressed in a red evening dress, making Haruka feel like she was out of place with her plain clothing.''You must be Sasuka Tenoh.'' The woman spoke with a plastered smile on her face.

'' Haruka..'' The tomboy corrected the woman who nodded and just strugged it off.

''Right...Haruka. We talked on the phone. Well it seems you are here before Michiru so what do you think about it if we sit down for a while and talk about Michiru's prestations on the school and how she is doing?'' Haruka just nodded. She had just been in here for less than five minutes and already was this woman giving her a headache.

When Haruka sat down on a chair in front of the older woman the red haired woman started talking about how she found Michiru wasn't the right person to go to a public school and that she wasn't satisfied with Michiru pretending to be a normal teenager when everyone knew she would end up in a better position than anyone at that school. Haruka honestly had no idea what to say to this woman. It was now very clear why Michiru was afraid of her parents, to Haurka it was obvious this woman was expecting too much out of her daughter.

Then just when Haruka was about to say something two men walked through the huge door. One of them looked rather old as the other , looked younger with his black hair that fell a bit over his face.''Ah yes, Haruka i'd like you to meet My husband Takei and my son in law Jack.'' The woman spoke. Haruka stood up from her seat again to shake both men their hands. It only took a little while for Nanase's words to finally start having affect. Son in law? Michiru said she didn't have a sister. She had to be sure...

''Son in law ?'' Haruka asked giving the black haired guy named Jack a questioning look.

''Yes.'' Jack said proudly. ''I'm the lucky guy. I'm engaged to their daughter Michiru.'' He then added causing Haruka to feel a bit dizzy. Michiru was engaged? Now that did explain a lot of things. But mostly it explained why Michiru didn't want her lover to come here in the first place. After the blonde would be done with teaching there was no doubt in her mind she was ever planning on seeing Michiru ever again. The smaller girl had betrayed her trust. She didn't even want to know Michiru's reasons for lying. There couldn't be a good explanation for this...

''Is everything okay mr. Tenoh ?'' Jack asked concerned about the blonde who was turning very pale.

''I'm fine..'' With that she turned to the red haired woman who also was known as Michiru's mother. ''You know ma'am, I totally agree with you. A public school isn't for a girl like Michiru. She's talented...She deserves better.'' With that the blonde started to walk away again, brushing past the old man and out of the big dinner room.

''MR. TENOH !'' Michiru's father yelled after her but she didn't reply, she just kept walking. She didn't want them to see her cry. She felt terrible, all she wanted to do was get out of this place right away.

To be continued...

Ah isn't that a hard way to find out and this time Michiru wasn't even here to defend herself. Well I hope you liked this chapter...The next one will be up at the end of this week..promise!
