Chapter 8: Waiting for you (oh that's a rip off from Amnesia Nymph's story...sorry!)

"Again home Michiru? Are you feeling alright girl?"

"I'm fine Nana, have you seen that dress dad brought me back from his trip last month?"

"It's probably still packed... are you wearing it?"

"What else could I do with it? Why do you look me like that? Just bring it ok?"

Michiru came out of the house finally dressed in the short flowered pink dress late in the morning; Haruka promised to go out swiming with her today; they have been seing each other every day since the day they had lunch three days ago, Michiru quit her routine to stay with Haruka and she was actually happy to do it, today she expected another fine day.

She smiled, she even cut a pink flower and pin it on her hair, she wandered trough the beach for a long time, it was later than the other days and there was no sign of Haruka, the heat went up but Michiru didn't wished to wet her dress so she stay out of the water, and just let the sea water to refresh her bare feet.

"Who says I'm waiting? No I'm not thinking of Haruka..." Michiru sighted the sea was calling her, telling her truths she didn't wanted to hear now. ยท"Shut up! I'm not in love with Haruka! But it'll be rude to leave if Haruka told me to wait here... I don't want to discuss it! I don't care..." Michiru stood up and walk away from the water, she was pissed, the sun was high in the sky it was already midday...

Of course she was thinking of Haruka, that's all she had done for the past days, Haruka was the reason to wear that stupid pink dress and why she quit swimming from dawn to dusk... "where the hell are you Haruka?"

-----------------o-------------------o-----------

"Come on Haruka please!"

"I can't Zen, I got a date"

"You've seen her every day this week! I need a tiny little favour and you denye it to me? Please you'll come back right after lunch please..."

"Why do I have to go? It's your date not mine"

"You are my cover! This girl is so pretty, she's the one! Come on Haruka, I can't stood her up, at what time is your date with Michiru?"

"I didn't say but today, that's for sure..."

"Just a couple of hours, just to see her pretty face please, I'll make it up to you I promise..."

"Fine, but you owe me big time..."

---------------o---------------o-----------

Michiru was in a bad mood, she waited for Haruka all day long and she never showed up, she stay all day out of the water cause the sea keep her telling her all these stuff she was not willing to deal with and then she tried to paint but it was a complete loss of time, her perfect day was ruined...

"I said i was sorry! How was I supposed to know the car would broke up in the middle of the road Haruka?"

"Shut it! I don't want to hear you anymore, I bet Michiru is pissed and it's all your fault!"

"Come on, I don't believe she waited for you all day, she probably went out swimming and forget you even exist..."

"Thanks you're such a good friend Zen..."

-------------o-----------------o---------------

The night was not better than the day, Michiru woke up before sunrise, she took her blue bathing suit and sneak out when the first ray of light kissed the beach. "This is exactly what I deserve for trusting that little son of a..."

"Morning Michiru"

Michiru jumped surprised, Haruka was apparently waiting for her. "Morning, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you, I'm sorry I didn't came yesterday, Zen have this problem and..."

"It's ok." "I was not waiting for you all day like a moron...right" "Ok, so i guess I'll see you later..."

"You're mad"

"NO I'm not!"

"Yes you are, you're a bad liar, I'm sorry let me compensate you"

"No, it's ok"

"I'll take you out for dinner"

"No"

"Why? If you accept that you're mad at me I'll stop bugging you"

"I'm not mad, I don't care how you spend your days Tenoh..."

"It's a nice plan, dinner you and me, I'll pick you after sunset"

"Are you even listening? Anyway this town has two restaurants, one is a hell hole and the other is full with gossipers, I had enough fame as it is we cannot go out for dinner"

"Fine, I'll let you cook for me then"

"I have not cooked a day in my life!"

"Ok then order dinner for us"

"Well that sounds better"

"It's a deal then"

"Yes...hey! You tricked me!"

"A lady never takes her word back"

Michiru grinned. "How come I'm with you and I sudenly became stupid ah?" "I never said I was a lady"

"Facts don't need explanations"

"Ok we'll have dinner but just because I'm bored..."

"Sure"

-----------------o---------------------o--------------

They spent the rest of the day together, a few hours after lunch Michiru get back home...

"Michiru how good you're back, Hanzo is here asking for you"

"Where is he Nana?"

"In the terrace" Michiru took a deep breath, she was avoiding this visit but she couldn't just sneak out, Hanzo was after all her friend, she walked to the terrace, and there was Hanzo talking to Meave, who was her maid, they seem to be talking something personal cause the moment Michiru walked in they both stop talking.

"Is everything ok?"

"Of course Miss, I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything..."

"Good evening Hanzo, I thought you'll be out of town for a few weeks"

"I didn't wanted to go without saying good bye, I was wondering if perhaps you'll like to have dinner with me tonight"

"Oh Hanzo, I'm sorry but I already got plans..." Hanzo smiled sweetly, Michiru knew he was not going to insist or ask her anything, Michiru felt a sting of guilt. "Perhaps tomorrow"

"I'm leaving tomorrow early in the morning but I'll accept a rain check"

"Deal"

Hanzo left short after that, Michiru ran into the kitchen. "Nana! I almost forgot I need you to make me a picnic basket with dinner for two"

"Finally! You're going out with the Hatachi boy! Your father is going to be thrilled..."

"Ah? I didn't say that, I'm dining with Haruka" Michiru looked at Maeve she could swear the girl smile when she heard that... she left the kitchen to avoid looking at Michiru.

"He's not the one for you Michiru don't you see it? He's going to be gone sooner or later, I can see it in his eyes he'll be gone with the summer wind, you my child belong here, you're the sea and the sea never goes anywhere..."

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"Of course you do I can see it in your eyes Michiru you're in love with this man, but the wind and the water don't mix my child"

Michiru refuse to hear anymore, why suddenly everyone messed with her? "Just do the picnic basket ok? I'll gon upstairs to get changed..." Michiru left the kitchen but a few seconds she came back. "And you're wrong, wind and water do mix, have you never seen a typhoon Nana?"

"And have youn ever seen what they cause?"

"You're imposssible!"

-----------------------------o-------------------o-----------------

Michiru waited imaptiently for Haruka to came pick her up, she had fixed a quiet spot in the beach to have dinner with Haruka, her father looked concerned when she told him her plans but made no comments, Michiru prefer it that way, the sun was coming down when she spotted Haruka coming toward her, looking dashing, Michiru smiled and stand up; she was wearing a blue palatzo , and matching sandals, she had never looked this good before, there was a light in her eyes and a blush in her cheeks that made her look spectacular.

"Wow, you look like a dream..."

"Thanks... er... shall we go?" Haruka lend Michiru an arm, Michiru was nervous.

They arrived to the romantic spot and have a quiet dinner, none of them talked, once in while the look at each other and smile nervously, it was getting pretty ridiculous...

"I'm nervous..."

"Thank God you say it, so am I..."

"Haruka, why are you ... I mean what do you want from me?"

"I told you I like you"

"Yes but... never mind"

"Tell me"

"Well I'm not very expirienced in these interpersonal things..."

"I see, well do you want me to be clear then?" Michiru nodded. "Well I was thinking that with a bit of luck I could kiss you tonight..." Michiru felt a shiver through her naked back and a sudden heat running through her blood. Haruka stood up and approached Michiru, she lend her a hand and took her closer to the water and herself. "So..."

"I... what do I get in exchange?"

Haruka smiled. "you can have my soul..." "What do you want?"

Michiru knew exaclty what she wanted from Haruka, this though was one of those who had kept her awake. "Tell me your secret..."

Haruka hesitate, what if she never wanted to see her again? What if she hated her forever? Where the pleasure of her lips worth it? "First the kiss..." She had to try, Michiru was not like other woman, Michiru was meant for her she just knew it.

Michiru looked at Haruka and let herslef melt in the moment, the soft song of the ocean, the smell of the sea breeze, the gentle touch of Haruka's hand on her bare back, that tickle on her lips full of expectation... Haruka looked into her blue eyes and softly leaned to kiss her, the contact was shocking, Michiru would remember this day as the day she finally discovered how been alive felt like, her lips pressed against hers, the soft surrender of her mouth opening to Haruka's, the invasion of her soul... she just wished she could lost herself forever in this moment...

Suddenly Michiru react to a strange sensastion, she was not sure what it was till she focus really hard, the sea waves where catching her feet, and she knew she had to break the kiss...

Haruka had this sense of loss when Michiru break down their kiss, she looked at her wondering what went wrong, if she perhaps had not felt the electricity running through her veins like she had...then she felt the cold water touching her feet.

"The tide is rising faster today, did you get wet Michiru?"

"Lets go, we better hurry"

"What?"

"Come on..." Michiru took Haruka by the hand and drag her to the house, Haruka was to shocked, what happened to her kiss? "Nana! Nana!"

Michiru's nanny came out looking alarmed. "What is it child?"

"Is daddy at the office?"

"Yes"

"Sent Maeve to fetch him, tell him there's a storm coming, go to the Hatachi's house, tell them Haruka is safe here, then go to the town... hurry!"

"Yes, be careful Michiru"

"I will, come on Haruka help me close the windows..." Haruka acted by instinct she had no idea what Michiru was talking about, the sky was clear and the moon was visible, she closed the terrace door and look out , she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the black clouds forming upon them in just a matter of minutes. "Don't worry Haruka it's not a typhoon, here help me with these blankets we better go down to the wine celler..."

(Now there's your kiss! And it's going to get better, at list that's my opinion, wanna know what happens with the storm? Well you'll have to review...)
