Chapter 22: Dreaming of you

You look so much in love" Haruka's words were sarcastic, Michiru felt fragile as crystal.

"Why are you doing this?"

"It amuses me" Michiru tried to free herself and run but Haruka was holding her hard enough to hurt her. "Oh no my dear you have humiliated me enough, now it's my turn…."

Michiru looked into Haruka's sparkling green eyes; she knew she had no excuse for her betray, if Haruka was feeling half of the pain she did then she deserved all Haruka's hate. "Please Haruka everyone is watching "

"That's exactly why you're suppose to smile, lies are your specialty "Michiru tried hard to ignore the hurtful words and look relaxed and smile but it was fruitless. Michiru felt Haruka pressing more her waist, the heat of her hand traveling through the fabric of her dress leaving a fire burn on her skin.

"Please"

Haruka looked into Michiru's tearing eyes. "I'll leave you for once and for all if you tell me now that you love him"

"I…" Michiru was unable to say such thing, to lie to herself and Haruka anymore. But before she could add anything else the music stopped and Haruka let her go as if the touch of her might sicken her, she bowed and walk away. Michiru besides the relief she expected by being set free felt this excruciating void she was unable to stand. "I love you…not him, you"

The rest of the night was a torture to Michiru after dancing with Haruka she spent the rest of the night dancing with the guests, once or twice Hanzo came to her rescue but she was unable to get away from the party, away from the inquisitive looks of everyone else, and the worst part was seeing Haruka and Zen together, dancing so close, smiling in complicity, cause Haruka just ignored Michiru the rest of the night and ironically it was worst than being harassed by her.

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

Once upstairs after an endless night Michiru walked to her balcony thinking ways to escaping, to tell Haruka the truth, to find a way to mend her mistakes.

Knock, knock

"Come in"

Hanzo came in holding a glass of water, he approached Michiru looking worried. "Are you ok?"

"No" He brought her closer to a gentle hug.

"Did he come for you?" Michiru shook her head sobbing, and Hanzo stayed silent, he knew that there was no way to help a broken heart; oh he knew that so well.

"I just can't believe she hates me that much Hanzo!"

"Zen?"

"Zen? What are you talking about? Haruka, Haruka hates me she can't even look at me without hate in her eyes"

"She? I'm confused Michi"

"There's no much to understand, Haruka hates me"

"Yeah, but why do you call Haruka 'she'? "

"Cause she is a she!"

Hanzo looked oddly surprised. "So you … and Zen…"

"Is that even important now?"

"No, I guess not…wait till my dad finds out…anyway the party is over so you don't have to worry anymore"

"What about the fact that they are staying till after the wedding? I'll have to put with them at list three more days, this was the worst New year's ever"º

"You'll need to be strong Michi"

"It's easier to say than to be"

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

"Nana… thank God you're here, I want to get out of this dress but I just can't unbutton it myself. Where's Maeve I told her to come help me"

Nana looked at Michiru with persecutor's eyes. "She's not feeling fine"

Michiru felt a sting of guilt; she closed her eyes trying to quiet her conscious. "Is she ok?"

"She will be…eventually I guess."

"Do you think she'll stay after the wedding?"

Nana unbuttoned the many little pearls on Michiru's dress. "I wouldn't count on that, she'll be leaving soon, I'm sure"

"Is there something you're not telling me Nana?"

"No, of course not. Now let me help you hang this, where do you wish to put the necklace Hanzo gave you?"

"It's from Haruka's…oh don't give me that look, is not what you think. In fact I want you to give it back first thing in the morning."

"That'll be the best. Good night my child"

"Good night Nana" Michiru stared at herself in the mirror once more, the wedding dress hanged on the back of the room seemed to be mocking her, she felt so tired that perhaps she would be able to sleep tonight, God knew she deserve it.

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

Haruka stared the stars outside her window and the almost full moon that bath the ground with silver light, she felt so lonely and sad, so betrayed, she felt the hot tears running down her face and wiped them away with anger, Michiru was even more beautiful than she had remembered, perhaps it was that sad look that make her seem more lady like, softer.

She faced the truth, she still loved the aqua Godess, she barely could resist the urge of touching her softly of caressing her long hair of kissing her wet red lips, so tempting as the apple in the Eden. But Michiru had betrayed her, the love words that she have told her were empty and shallow, her plans of revenge were fair...if she wasn't going to have her she'll let her know what pain felt like, she would hit her were she'll be hurt the most ...in her pride, Michiru was proud and vain girl after all...

Haruka was mad and angry but there was not a single cell in her body that wan't urging her to go outside in the night to climb up Michiru's window as she had done so many times before in a time that semed so far away now...

Michiru had managed to fall asleep after crying and thinking the nights events over and over, she was finally exhausted. The soft moonlight entered through the open balcony and made her nude skin shine, the white canopy above her bed make her look like a fairy tale sleeping beauty.

Haruka entered the room silently, her heart biting fast, she retird the veil that covered the object of her desires; Michiru looked so innocent Haruka couldn't stop herself of caressing the girl's cheek and soft hair; she noticed they were wet spots on her hair and pillow, Michiru had been crying and Haruka felt a heartache. "Are you crying for me me love?"

Michiru dreamed the wind caressing her face and wiping her tears away, she rolled on her bed comforted by it...

Haruka repressed a a moan, Michiru had rolled over exposing her long legs and bare back to her, she was wearing this little white nightgown, without thinking it too much Haruka laid down next to Michiru and spoon her into a gentle hug.

The familiar touch didn't wake up Michiru, she get closer to Haruka still asleep. "Ruka" Haruka heard Michiru calling her and her restrains ended, she slide her hand through Michiru's abdomen and up to her breasts...

Michiru dreamed so many nights with Haruka's caress that she felt that perhaps this was one of her dreams; she rolled once more to get rocked between Haruka's strong arms. This time her dream seemed so real she could feel the warm of her skin against her, the soft smell of her so alike to the summer breeze.

"Michi wake up" What was that? What was Haruka whispering to her?

Haruka smile rembering Michiru had a very heavy sleep. "Michi wake up" Haruka leaned down to kiss her, the kiss began gently but once Michiru opened her mouth to welcome her the kiss turn into a fierce territory battle.

Michiru opned her eyes surprised for the invasion and the discovery that she was not after all dreaming. Haruka was all over herself , Michiru pushed Haruka away gently, the blonde seemed like a little boy pushd away from her mother... "Haruka?"

Haruka looked at Michiru below her and for a moment she felt oddly guilty, she had trespassed Michiru's house, her bedroom, her bed... "I...I was..." "What? You were what smartass?"

Michiru wasn't looking for an explanation she was looking for a confirmation about this not being a dream, she placed her arms around Haruka before the blonde pulld away and bring her to a kiss once more...

(Oh what's going to happen ah? If you wish to know wel you have to review that's the rule people!)
