Chapter 26: The truth

Michiru walked her way through the beach, the tide rising quickly, she could hear the waves talking to her, but she had made her mind and she was not having cold feet about this. "No, I'm going to be brave once in my life at list!" She climbed the cliff as she had done so many times before, the rough stone hurting her bare hands, the wind was even colder and slashed her face but she didn't stop.

She managed to get to the top of the cliff, there was only some dusky light left, she shiver and placed her arms around her…it was now or never. She step on the edge of the cliff and look down, the dim light made impossible to see where the rocks ended and where the sea started. Michiru look up again, then took a deep breath and….

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

Sechiru Kaioh had a bad feeling when he go back to his bed, Michiru was acting strange and he thought that perhaps it had to do with that Tenoh coming back. After he left Michiru never mention him again and that was not a coincidence, he saw the night before how she went pale every time she saw him…. He needed to talk to Michiru as soon as she got back.

A minute later he heard the door of Michiru's room opening, "Perhaps Michiru is back already." He stood and walked to the room.

"What on earth? Were you in there?"

"Ah…good night Sechiru...I was ah…looking for Michiru?"

"From inside her room?"

"I…oh look at the time I have to rush, there are some things I left at the office….got to go, nice to see you Sechiru, I'll see you tomorrow" Hanzo managed to fled before Sechiru might be able to interrogate him any further. He had slept too much, when he woke up Michiru had already left the room .

Hanzo run down stairs and bumped into Maeve, the little girl was surprised her face was wet with tears. "I…I thought you were gone"

"Are you crying?"

"NO"

"We need to talk"

"No, someone might see us"

"I don't give …. Come on let's go to your room"

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

Michiru looked one last time to her house in the distance, the beach she had visit so many times to the point where she knew every inch of it, and the sea, her last refugee, her final destination.

She walked to the very edge of the cliff, ready to jump. "Forgive me dad"

"Michiru?" The familiar voice made her turn around, what was she doing here? She came closer to her and grabbed her arm. "What are you doing? Were you going to…oh! Michiru what is it?"

"Go away"

"No, so you can jump? are you out of your mind?"

"What are you doing here anyway? Go home to your girlfriend" The words hurt her more than she thought, she felt the pain in her heart.

"Let's talk ok?"

"Zen! Go home….please." Michiru burst into hard sobs she felt so stupid and so weak, why was she here?

"No"

"Oh come on…I, need to be alone"

"No, let's go home Kaioh, nothing can be so terrible that the only solution might be suicide"

Tears fell down Michiru's face, why she couldn't even do 'this' the right way. "I have to do it…I have to"

Zen had a firm grip on her arm and tried to drag her away. "Come on don't be such a baby let's go home"

"NO! You do not understand Zen there's no way out I have twisted my life and fill it with lies I cannot lie anymore, I cannot turn back I'm cornered…I …." Michiru fell down to her knees, crying her eyes out, she was so desperate she wouldn't care if she laugh at her if she told everyone that she was nothing but a weeping baby.

"Fine! Jump then…." Michiru raised her blue teary eyes at the hearing of the harsh words, she had changed her concerned tone to one full of despite. "Jump come on….but first tell me why are you jumping, I mean someone has to tell your legend no? The 'Jumping mermaid' we'll call you, ok so tell me why are you jumping?"

"I…"

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

Knock, knock

"Come in"

"Are you busy?"

"Oh no, is everything al right? What is it? Do you need anything sir?"

"Yeah I need something Nana"

"Do tell"

"I need you to tell me the truth, the whole truth about what the hell is going on in this house"

"I…I don't seem to understand sir"

"No games Nana, something is going on and I'm sure about it, people coming up and down through the windows, the maid crying all the time, this wedding. I want to hear the true story"

Nana smiled and sat down in her bed. "Well then take a seat sir cause it's a long, long story"

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

"Now, let's hear it."

"Zen please just, let me alone"

"No, jump if you wish I'll be here seeing"

Michiru hide her face in her hands crying more and more. After a minute or two she looked up to Zen who had sat next to her. "Fine, fine I'll tell you and perhaps you'll push me down yourself"

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

Haruka look outside the window to the clear night sky, the stars shined as if anything had happened, she felt so small and insignificant. She had made her mind about this, some mistakes simply don't have a way to get fixed.

She looked back at the bad were her things laid and sighed, she still have some things 5to pack, better hurry.

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

"Is this true? The whole truth?"

"Is everything I know"

"And why the hell haven't you tell me?" Nana looked at her master and smiled, it was obvious she just tell him now cause he had asked otherwise she would have kept her mouth shot. "All this happened under my nose? Good god! I need to go see Hatachi, the minute she came back send her to the Hatachi's house!"

"Yes sir"

"And Hanzo too, send him there too"

"Ok master"

Sechiru exited the room, muttering something about killing all of them for being such liars, Nana smiled. "Well the truth would set us free right?"

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

"…I messed up Zen, she loved me and I loved her back but my dad…oh I just couldn't let him and now the wedding…oh they deserve better than me ruining their lives…oh and Haruka…you and her deserve to be happy and I just can't stand it and I hate myself for it for being so selfish for being so stupid…"

Zen took a deep breath, she was light headed sure this mess turn out to be even worst than what she expected. So Maeve and Hanzo… and a convenience wedding…and Haruka…oh why she had to fix this? "So you love Haruka then?"

"Yes but…Don't get me wrong…I would never steal her form you…I don't deserve her"

"Yeah…. About that….I think you're not jumping today dear, seems I have come here to rescue you. You have a chance, Haruka still loves you"

"AH?" Was she playing with her mind? "She said herself she had stop loving me."

"She was pissed and she's almost as stupid as you when she is. She wanted to come and live in this place just to be next to you, she have already sold her house in Tokyo and all, when she got the news about your wedding."

"Then why…why she never write or call? I thought she had forgotten me"

"See I don't know….but it seems this has been just a chain of mistakes, you don't need to jump that wouldn't be the bravest thing, you're wrong about that, the bravest thing would be mend your mistakes, come clean tell the truth and cancel he wedding what's the worst that could happen? If you and Hanzo get disinherited well I'll be a wealthy heiress and I could give you both jobs!"

"How could you make jokes in a moment like this?"

"Hey someone has to be cheerful or we'll both jump"

"But you and Haruka"

"Ok I know you have lost lots of neurons with all that diving but….we are not dating! It was staged to make you feel bad"

Michiru smiled for the first moment in an eternity. "Is this the truth Zen?"

"The truth, the whole truth"

Michiru stand and so did Zen. "Come on let's go fix this" Michiru kneeld once more next to the edge and make the move to climb down.

"Hey where are you going? you're going to brake your neck if you climb down"

"But how...?"

"There's a pad…how else do you think I got here in the fist place? Boy you're weird Kaioh…."

Zen wished Michiru the best of luck and went strolling a little more down the beach, she was in pro of love but she wished to avoid the screaming once the wedding got cancelled. So Michiru ran into the Hatachi's garden and so did Hanzo who seemed to be coming from the Kaioh's Manor they looked at each other for a moment …

"We need to cancel the wedding" They had both speak and then they smiled, things seemed to be getting in place.

"I'll talk to our fathers Michi"

"No, we'll do it together."

"Ok so which first?"

"Yours" Hanzo nodded and they entered the house, they knocked on the library's door. Michiru was surprise to see her father there, they both look extremely serious.

"Oh I see you're both here, better get inside now" The couple entered the room and sat down in the a love seat

"Michi and I want to ell you something"

"Yeah we…"

"You both shut up, you'll listen first to what we have to say, then you'll talk. "

Michiru was surprised by her father's tone, she closed her mouth frightened.

"So as Sechiru has kindly exposed we'll talk first. Let's begin with what we know ok?" Sechiru nodded. "Ok let's start with the fact that Hanzo knock up the maid " Hanzo looked so surprised, Michiru took his hand. "Or better, we know that Tenoh climbs up your window…" Michiru went so pale that Hanzo thought she was going to faint. "Oh it seems we got your attention right?"

(Ah did I get your attention? What's happening now? Did you think the story would end so easy? Come on give me some credit! Review if you want more!)
