Disclaimer: Michiru and Hauka are not mine…can someone correct this mistake? I guess just God and we are not in good terms, so only the story is mine...lol
Thanks for reviewing, I'm getting a little more excited about this story; to the readers of "Unwelcome to the family Miss Kaioh!" here's a thought: NO one is that stupid!
Anyway here the next chapter, it's dedicated to Amnesia Nymph cause she' updated her story and I like it!

Chapter 6: Perla
The next morning Haruka woke up in a good mood, she was having lunch with Michiru; sky was the limit.
She went downstairs to get some breakfast; Hanzo and his father had already left and Zen was not so much a 'morning person' so she ate alone; she was drinking a nice cup of coffee when the maid came in holding a little silver tray in the middle of which was a folded little note.
"This came for you sir"
"Thanks" Haruka opened the note, it was written with a pretty girly handwriting:
Don't be late
Bring a swimsuit
M
"Swim suit? This is going to be an interesting lunch…"
-o-o-
Michiru had been up for at least a couple hours, she woke up before sunrise feeling restless, the night before she could barely sleep; Hanzo's words playing over and over on her mind have given her heartburns, the right thing for everyone, who was everyone? He and her? Their families? All of the above?
And there was also the lunch date with Haruka, Michiru was upset, too many feelings…. She felt tied down to this uncertainty that she couldn't control, it was unbearable.
Her father placed the local newspaper down "Little Fish why are you still here driving me crazy?"
"I thought you enjoyed my company dad"
"I do Michiru but you're not eating, you're not paying attention to what I'm saying and you keep tapping the table with that fork and it's driving me mad!"
"Sorry" Michiru sighed and put the fork down. "Why I'm not in the water where I belong?"
"Who are you expecting?"
"No one"
"Ah, and at what time he's coming?"
"9 o'clock"
"So you were thinking about that Tenoh man ah?"
Michiru grinned, her father was too clever. "I was not! I was…oh!" She crossed her arms and sighed again.
"Why don't you go get dressed then?" Michiru was wearing her blue bathing suit once more; she looked at her father with annoyance.
"This is what I'm wearing"
"Oh I see…" He went back to his newspaper.
"I only need a bathing suit"
"Ok then"
"What? We are going down to the Maiden's Treasure, what I'm supposed to wear?"
"I said it was fine"
"Fine! I'll go get changed!" Michiru stormed out of the dining room mumbling about her father, Sechiru zipped his coffee smiling. "Just like her mother…"
-o-o-
9:07 am
Michiru sat down at the beach, the sand was already warm. She was wearing a one piece halter black bathing suit and a gypsy tie blue skirt.
"Good morning"
"You are late" She heard the husky voice behind her and refrain her smile.
"Like three minutes!"
"Didn't you get my note?"
"I'm sorry mademoiselle"
Michiru got on her feet. She was not really mad, she dusted the sand out of her skirt and began walking "Come on, let's keep going"
"Where are we going?"
"To the Marina"
Michiru and Haruka arrived to the docks briefly after that, most of the boats parked where small to medium fishing boats. There was not a lot of people out, 9 in the morning was quite late for fishermen.
"Morning Miss Kaioh"
"Morning Tara is Perla ready?"
"Yes miss she's waiting for you, are you sure you don't need any help?"
"I can handle her thanks" Haruka walked behind Michiru, there was a lot of activity in the place. "They fish at sunrise, lucky ones are back yet"
"I see, the smell is a little intense"
"How delicate, I barely notice it" Michiru smiled, of course the smell was intense the packing factory and the storage buildings where next to the marina.
"When she smiles she looks even more beautiful"
"Are you listening to me?"
"Sorry what were you saying?"
"I asked you if you liked Perla"
"I haven't met her, is she your relative?"
"Silly, the boat, she's Perla" Haruka turned to look the boat; it was a blue and white motor boat, the letters PERLA where silver engraved at one side.
"Nice" Michiru smiled once more and get inside, Haruka followed her, they left the docks a few minutes later, Haruka was enchanted by the way the wind played with Michiru's long hair.
"So you though Perla was a girl? Is there nothing else on your mind than girls Haruka?"
Laughing softly the blonde messed her hair. "That's not true, there are no girls, just one girl on my mind you see…" Haruka smiled back at Michiru in the most charming way, Michiru could feel the blush tinting her cheeks. "May I ask where are we going dear?"
"Ah right, we are going to the Maiden's Treasure Island, it a small barren island a few miles from here"
"How far is that?"
"We'll be there in 15 minutes, relax, I have no intentions of marooning you at sea... unless you made me mad that's it."
Again Haruka laughed, and Michiru laughed too, they both seemed a little more relaxed once they left the shoreline behind. "I thought you could 'swim your way to Tokyo' why are we on a boat then?"
"Oh that's easy, I can, but you don't"
"So you care about my well being? I'm honored."
"Don't flatter yourself, if you know someone's life is in danger and you let that person die it's considered a 'guilty homicide' "Haruka smiled once more, Michiru's tongue was sharp, she liked it.
After a few minutes, Michiru stopped the boat in what Haruka thought was the middle of the ocean.
"Here we are, did you bring your swim suit?"
"No, and why are we in the middle of nowhere?"
"You're kidding, I told you to bring a suit, didn't I sent you a note?"
"I don't like swim suits, I brought a wet suit"
Michiru smiled coyly. "Whatever, you're a weird one, did you know that?"
"That's like the fish taking about fins, if I recall you're the one talking to the ocean, by the way are there sharks around here?"
"What a pussy" "I haven't seen one, so I guess not, don't worry if one comes I'll tell you, and don't you dare call me weird I happen to know you hear whispers in the wind so we are on the same freak show"
"How did she know…""Who told you that? That's not…."
"I won't tell, the sea told me, so there's your proof now, get those clothes off we still have to swim to get there"
Keeping her cool Haruka leaned and whispered softly. "If I get mine off you get yours too?"
"Pervert! I won't even look! I meant put you suit on" Michiru turned around, her cheeks hot and feeling ashamed at how overwhelming the thought of Haruka without clothes turned out to be. "Come on think something else! Anything else...oh lord."
Once Haruka managed to put the wet suit on she tapped the girl on the shoulder."I still don't get why did we stopped her, I thought you said you were not marooning me at sea."
"The boat won't make it past this zone, this is a coral barrier, and it is a nice swim, don't be such a chicken the water is not even deep here." Michiru jumped into the water. Haruka hesitate but jumped too. "You'll have fun, I promise"
"As long you're here there's no way I'll get bored"
"One day Tenoh someone is going to demand you to fulfill all those flirty intentions you know?"
"Really? I hope is you then, Michiru…..
(So what do you think? Is Michiru falling? Is Hanzo kicking back? When is Michiru finding out the truth about Haruka? Review and you'll find out keeping the Spanish word translation Perla: means pearl"
