Chapter 16
The huge break-up Fiasco
The moment Haruka stepped out of the front door, followed by the old man who had opened the door and Michiru's fiancée Jack, she stood face to face with Michiru. The smaller girl was giving her a questioning look wondering why Haruka looked so upset. But the moment she saw Jack she knew what had happened. But not only Michiru was shocked at this moment. She was aware of the fact Haruka was angry with her, no that didn't describe the blonde's look good enough. Haruka was beyong pissed, mad and furious. Also Jack was shocked. If this girl with the aqua hair just came out of the limo followed by Rei, then who was the black haired girl he had been kissing back in Tokyo?
For a moment the three just stood there watching eachother closely. Haruka seemed to be waiting for the man to greet and hug Michiru but something seemed to stop him from doing so. Michiru on the other hand looked more shocked about the whole situation. ''Uhm...'' Rei started. ''Why don't we all go inside and uhm...well eat, dinner is almost ready.'' It wasn't really a question, more a plead. Jack simply nodded in reply. He was kind of curious about Michiru's explanation. He had been kissing the wrong girl after all!
Michiru gazed up at her blonde lover giving the tomboy a pleading look but ofcourse Haruka wasn't planning on giving in to that look any longer. ''I'm afraid I have to go. I just realised I have something important to do.'' And with that said she started to walk away, brushing past Michiru as she did so. But someone stopped her. When she looked down she saw it was Michiru herself who had grabbed the taller woman's arm. Rei and Jack watched the scene in silence, wondering what would happen or what was going on between them in the first place.
''Haruka please...Don't go.'' The aqua haired girl whispered.''I know this must sound like i've been using you for quite a time but none of that is true. Please let me explain.'' The tomboy just pulled away, still not looking at the smaller girl.
''Why would I even give you a chance to explain. I don't even think you can explain something like this to me. And even if you could I don't care, it wouldn't change the fact you've been lying to me all this time.''
''I know Ruka...'' Michiru said out loud causing Rei and Jack to go wide eyed. They both knew that the blonde teacher's name was Haruka Tenoh. If Michiru really was calling the blonde 'Ruka' it would mean there was more going on between them than they let on. ''And i'm sorry for lying but I wanted to tell you. Today actually but you found out..this wasn't how I wanted it either. Don't go away...'' Michiru took a deep breath. She knew that what she was going to say next would atleast make Haruka stay a little bit longer.''I'll tell my parents about us...I promise, i'll tell them tonight.''
Haruka seemed to be pleased by this because the moment Michiru had said it the blonde had stopped with walking away to turn around. Rei and Jack on the other hand were far from pleased. ''Tell your parents what?'' They asked in unison. But before they got an answer Michiru had already run into the blonde's arms while hugging the tomboy tightly. Haruka just let it happen but didn't do anything herself, she just kept looking at the old man who had opened the door for her earlier. It was now she finally had figured out he must've been the butler.
When the smaller girl noticed Haruka wasn't doing anything to show Michiru she was giving her another chance or was greatful she pulled back againwhile taking a deep breath. She had really ruined things now. Haruka had never been so cold towards her. The tomboy didn't even have to say anything for Michiru to know how angry she was. Michiru was sure that if it was up to Haruka she would've gave her a good smack already. The blonde's eyes betrayed her fury.''Haruka...'' Michiru whispered as she followed the butler and Rei back into the house. Haruka who followed her had ofcourse heard her girlfriend's whisper but didn't do anything. She would wait just a little bit longer to figure out what she would do next. It depended on how Michiru's parents would react and to the smaller girl's explanation to her lies. So far Haruka couldn't think of a good reason for Michiru not to have told her about her engagement. After all, who would forget to mention such a thing. If that would be Michiru's excuse Haruka would break up with the smaller girl for sure. Then again, at the moment the taller woman was almost a hundred percent sure she would break up with Michiru at the end of this day.
When they got inside again Haruka could see the mixed expressions on the faces of Michiru's parents. They looked as if they had seen a ghost and to them it felt like they had. There was almost nothing left of the Michiru they had known. Michiru used to have such an innocent and shy look on her face, now that look was gone and replaced by something they couldn't explain. She looked more like a rebelion. But it seemed they decided to strugg it off since they were with company. ''Michiru, darling! I missed you so much!'' Nanase said with a low but cool tone in her voice causing both Rei and Haruka to shiver at the tone. Michiru's mother really looked like those type of woman you always got to see in movies, she was one of those ''i'm too good for you'' types. Atleast that was the first expression Haruka had gotten of the woman.
Also what was the most expected now was for Nanase to hug her daughter, which she to Haruka's suprise, didn't do. She just stood there giving Michiru one of those welcome home smiles. The aqua haired girl didn't even bother to hug her mother either, she knew her mother would find it an unnessesary act. Somehow it had pained her in the past, now she had gotten used to it. Her father on the other hand wasn't like that. Sure he wasn't the easy type either but he never felt bothered with showing his daughter some affection and with that he walked over to Michiru and hugged her tightly.
''We're glad to have you back princess.'' He whispered as he pulled back again while looking at his wife who seemed embarressed with his act. Michiru was happy that her parents were happy to have her back but she couldn't help it but wonder if they would be happy with her return too if she would've told them about her relationship with Haruka. After all she wasn't so sure if there was much left of their relationship anyway.
''I've missed you too daddy.'' The aqua haired girl lied while looking over her fathers shoulder to look at Jack. He still seemed confused but much to her relieve her kept his mouth shut. Maybe he was too embarressed by the fact he had been tricked and kissed a ''low life girl''. Or maybe he was still in shock from what he had seen in front of the house. No one who saw Haruka and Michiru together like that would ever doubt if they were involved in a relationship but it was also possible that this Jack person wasn't so bad after all and had just decided to not ask anything til they were alone later. With that on her mind Michiru turned around to look at the blonde tomboy who gave her a cold glare in return.
Now Haruka had met Michiru's parents it had all become clear to her why Michiru had been so afraid to tell them, she was raised by not just a simple and rich family but they were also very strict. It was hard to have your own opinion around here. But now she was also sure she didn't want Michiru to tell her parents about them anymore. It wouldn't be worth it. Michiru would lose her family for sure and after all, they weren't a really great couple together. All they did was fight lately not to mention how Michiru had betrayed the blonde's trust.
''Now let's eat.'' Nanase said as she gestured Rei and the old butler to leave this room and leave them all alone. The raven haired girl and the old man just replied by nodding before they walked out of the room leaving Jack, Haruka, Michiru and Michiru's parents behind in the huge dinner room.
''Actually...'' Michiru said before anyone of them could sit down. She had to do this, it was to prove to the blonde she really loved her.'' I wanted to tell you something first...I know it might ruin your mood today mother, father..but it's important for me to tell you this.''
''You're pregnant!'' Nanase yelped. ''I knew it the moment you walked into the house, I said to myself I was just seeing things when I saw you changed ever since you left to that...school, but now it all makes sense, who's the father?''
''Mother, I'm not pregnant, thought maybe it's better if you all sit down...'' With that said Michiru turned to Jack.'' I also want to apologize to you in advance for...''
''I'm sorry , Michiru could I talk to you for a moment...excuse us.'' Haruka said and before the smaller girl could answer the tomboy had already pulled her away from the table and into the hall.
''Haruka what are you doing, I wanted to tell them about u...''
'' I know.'' Haruka interrupted Michiru. ''But it's not right to do so. Your parents are too proud and besides that your fiancée seems like a nice guy. Just let it be. I don't want to become a part of this family anyway.''
''But I don't want a nice guy Ruka, I want you!''
'' Michi...'' A voice came from behind the arguing couple causing them both to look up in shock at a red haired woman. Michiru's mother had followed them to ask if everything was okay but instead of finding that out she had found out about something else.
''Mother...I...'' Michiru started but was interrupted when her mother's hand crossed her cheek.
''He's your teacher Michiru! How could you do something like that, do you want to ruin this family. He's too old for you, you're young and Jack loves you. What has gotten in to you!'' Nanase seemed to have forgotten all about the fact that Haruka was still standing besides Michiru but much to the smaller girl's dismay the tomboy didn't do anything. She just stood there looking at the scene in front of her. How could Haruka be so cold?
''Mother please control yourself, Haruka isn't that old anyway and even if she was too old for me who cares? Isn't it love what counts?'' Michiru asked as the first tear fell down her face.
'' Don't talk to me like that young girl!'' Nanase yelled back. ''What do you know about love, all man care for is getting into your pants. Love is for those who are foolish enough to believe in it!''
''Well Haruka is different, she loves me!'' It was out before Michiru had even realised she said it. Even her mother seemed to be speechless at this point. She was looking at Michiru with a pleading look in her eyes as if she was waiting for the smaller girl to tell her she had made a mistake by saying Haruka was a 'she' and not a 'he' but much to her own dismay it never came.
Once again the huge doors flew open revealing Jack and Michiru's father who gave the three woman questioning looks.''What's going on here, what's all that yelling about?'' Michiru's father asked. He sounded impatient and annoyed. After all, he hadn't seen his daughter in such a long time and all he had seen so far was pain, sadness and now yelling.
''Tell your freak daughter that dating a female teacher is wrong!'' Nanase screamed but to be honest with everyone she looked so much weaker than she was letting on. She looked like she was about to faint.
''Excuse me?'' The man asked. He was slightly confused by his wife's words. Jack on the other hand seemed to finally understand what was going on but he still didn't say anything. He decided to just watch what was going to happen. Himself didn't like marrying to Michiru either, back in Holland there already was a girl he loved.
''That thing...it's...it's a woman!'' Michiru's mother yelled while pointing at the blonde tomboy who still didn't do anything. She wasn't even defending herself nor Michiru. Michiru's father looked up at Haruka with a shocked look on his face. For a moment he seemed to be studying her but then he looked at his daughter.
'' Michiru is this how you're repaying us? We let you go to a school, a public school to please you and you repay us by coming home with this...woman?'' He asked his daughter with an angered tone in his voice.
''Actually it were you who invited me over, if it was up to Michiru I was still back in Tokyo.'' Haruka finally said. It weren't the words Michiru was hoping for but atleast Haruka said something. To Michiru it felt like everyone was against her now.
''Don't interrupt me.'' He hissed before concentrating on the crying aqua haired girl again.''Michiru you'll marry Jack wheter you like it or not and I forbid you to ever see this...this woman again and that's final!'' He added.
''But...'' Michiru started but was interrupted by Haruka.
''Don't bother Michiru, you're not even worth it.'' And with that the blonde turned away to walk out of the house, leaving all of this behind.
''You should follow her example, she walks away so easily Michiru, it clearly shows she doesn't care enough for you.'' Nanase said with a stern voice. And even though she had such a stern tone in her voice she still looked like she felt sorry for Michiru.
''We're just having some problems!'' Michiru yelled back. She was finally raising her voice against her parents. Even Haruka who had almost reached for the door stopped to listen at the smaller girl's words.
''But I do have faith in our relationship because I believe...No i'm sure Haruka and I are meant to be together. I love her! And nothing you will say or do will ever change that...You can make me marry Jack but you will never make me actually love him!''
Michiru's parents both were at loss of words at that point. All they could do was look at the daughter who held a hurt but certain look on her face. Then they saw her turn around to look at the blonde tomboy who started back at her before shaking her head. With that Haruka turned around herself and opened the front door and without giving the crying girl a second look she walked away.
