Glimpse to the past

Chapter 3: Flowers of peace.

Michiru rolled up in bed once more, she had had a very bad night's sleep. The day outside her window announced itself gloomy and cold so she decided to stay in bed a little longer; Haruka could make her own breakfast after all it was not like she deserved being served.

A few hours later a sweet smell force Michiru to open her eyes, the air of the room was filled with it, she looked at a precious little pink bouquet on her night stand. "Haruka" But it was not the only one, when she sat down in the bed to read the card on the pink bouquet she realized there were flowers all over the room, no less than six bouquets: Lillys, roses, tulips, all colors and all kinds. Michiru blinked a couple of times thinking that perhaps she was dreaming, but no they were still there when she opened her eyes once more.

There was a soft knock in the door and a moment later the door was opened, Haruka came in the room holding a breakfast tray. "Morning"

"Morning Haruka" Haruka came closer to the bed and placed the tray to the side next to Michiru. "What's this Haruka?"

"Breakfast in bed for the house's queen"

"Er.. thanks" Michiru smiled briefly. Haruka sat down next to her wife facing her and then she took one of Michiru's silky hands between her own. "I'm sorry Michiru"

"I know...the flowers were a nice hint"

Haruka smiled, she knew Michiru well enough to notice that in her tone was no longer anger. "You'll think it's easy to find out flowers in a big city like Tokyo right? Well at 5:30 a.m it's a hard task! I hope you'll like the ones I was able to find."

Michiru giggled, of course she liked them. "They are beautiful"

"I won't forget again, I promise. I'm deeply sorry my love"

"It's ok"

"Ah also, I'm telling Satori today to leave Michiru, I didn't thought it would be an inconvinient for you. Believe me I didn't meant to upset you"

"Don't"

"What?"

"It's ok, this house is big enough for all of us, I overreacted, next time just let me now ok?"

"Deal"

Michiru smiled. "Sorry for kicking you out of the room Ruka"

"Ah... I guess I deserve it. This is OUR house, I can be stupid sometimes..."

"Tell me about it..."

"Hey! Michi, this is the part when you say 'No my love of course you're not, don't say such things you're smart and I adore you!' remember?"

Michiru laughed at Haruka's impersonation of herself, she even moved the hands the same way she did. "Oh yeah I keep forgetting my lines...excuse me"

Haruka looked at Michiru smiling. "It's ok I forgive you" She whispered in a very 'Michiruish' way,and even passed a hand over her imaginary long hair.

"Stop making fun of me!" Michiru said smiling. "So tell me what's for breakfast?"

"Oh don't get too excited remember. 'It's the intention what counts the most'."

"You cooked?" Michiru tried to sound cool but the images of her destroyed kitchen filled her mind.

"No. Calm down" Haruka bring the tray closer and lift the dish cover to reveal its content"

" Oh Ruka! My favourite! Tea and donuts... how did you knew?"

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

Haruka left the house for work a few hours later after a 'make up' breakfast shower and well you know... Michiru then spent the rest of the day home alone practicing, she had the house to herself since Satori left for work too, Haruka told Michiru that Michael was in Tokyo shooting the photos for a catalog.

The afternoon was cold and windy, so Michiru decided to have some afternoon tea, she was enjoying her second cup when Satori came home; he past in front of the kitchen where she was sitting and came in a moment to greet her.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Tenoh"

"Good afternoon, and please don't call me that, Michiru is fine"

"OK then"

"Would you like to have some coffee?"

"I don't wish to disturb you Michiru"

"It's ok, I could use the company"

Satori bowed and took a seat in front of Michiru, Michiru stand up to go get him some coffee. ·"How do you prefer it?"

"I'll have the same as you"

"I'm having tea"

"Tea would be perfect, I'm not so much a coffee fan"

Michiru smiled. "Ok then" She poured the hot steamy brew in one of her lovely china cups and handed it to her guest. Satori inhaled the soft steam enjoying the spicy scent of the tea.

"I'll say it's 'Prince of Wales' am I right?"

"Oh an expertise!"

"Not so much, my mom is a tea fan herself so she has tough me a few things"

Michiru zipped her tea and look at Satori; she hadn't really take the time to give him a close look; he was tall and blond, his blue eyes made a perfect match with his face, he was actually good looking, perhaps a little too skinny for Michiru's taste he didn't seem the 'sports type' of guy. "Michael...you don't mind me calling you Michael do you?" The man in front of her shook her head so she continue. "I wanted to tell you again how deeply sorry I am about the kitchen incident"

"OH Michiru it's forgotten already, you were scared, never mind"

"Thanks, so tell me did you find the guest room suitable for you?"

"It's more than I could wish for, you're very kind by letting me stay in your home, I like hotels, I live in them most of the year but nothing can top the warm of a home that's for sure"

"If you need anything please let me know"

"Would do"

"So tell me Michael, I'm dying to know about Haruka and you dating, it's just something I cannot bring to imagine"

"Oh Michiru, it's not such big deal. We were in junior high, that was ages ago"

"Yeah I know but I wish to know how was she when she was..." Michiru couldn't find the right word to describe what she was refering to, but apparently Satori cought the idea.

"Girly?" MIchiru nodded. "Ha! She never was! You're not picturing it right, she has always been the way she is now... well maybe not that much, but I can tell you one thing, she was not girly. In the three years that we dated I only saw her in a dress once and she was dying with embarrasment"

"Oh tell me all about that! Why was she in a dress?"

"She was a debutant! Her mother made her do it, she looked nice actually ... hard to imagine no?"

Michiru was delighted, picturing Haruka in a dress full of laces ...oh a pink dress full of laces, it was hilarious. "Oh I wish you had some pictures!"

"Sorry, as far as I know she burned every copy she could reach"

·"A real shame... and why did you two broke up?"

"Besisdes the obvious? Well I was actually the one who broke up the relationship. You see I was not a very good sport and she used to defeat me in every game or race we had, my poor ego couldn't take it. It was not a very smart decision but that's the way things happened. We remained as friends, specially after her mother died, then I moved to the United States to study and we lost contact till recently."

"You loved her?"

"Yes" Michale cought a spark of distrust in his host eyes, the deep blue of her eyes made him think of a stormy sea. "Oh but don't worry, it's over, totally over... you know how teenege hearts heal faster, I'm actually thrilled she's so happy, she obviously loves you so much, she speaks high of you"

Michiru smiled a little more relaxed, Satori's words sounded pretty sincere and she was sure Haruka was not trading her in for him. "Oh Michael you have to tell me more of this Haruka's stories, but it'll have to be some other time"

"Why?"

"Cause Haruka is home now..." Michiru had heard the garage door a minute before and as she finished stating this Haruka entered the kitchen smiling.

"Hi"

"Hi Tenoh"

"HI Love"

"Oh what were you two old ladies chatting about, you shut up the minute I got in"

"Old love stories"

"Nothing like that I hope Michiru, everything he says it's probably a lie"

"Is that so dear? So you were never a debutant in a pink lacy dress?"

Haruka blushe hard at the hearing of this words. "Satori! You and your big mouth! And my dress was not pink! It was white and I torch it"

"Yeah well in my mind it's pink Ruka so..."

"You'll pay me this one Satori"

"Ha, sorry Haruka"

(So you think this Satori guy is as cute as it shows? Well you know me...everything is possible, thanks for the reviews and so sorry for the delay but I'm back at school and I can't bring myself to update faster. Review if you want more!)
