Chapter 6
Miracles Happen
"Shuu, do you have a problem with me or something cause this whole teasing thing has been going on since the day we met on Monday. If you have a problem with this you can tell me now." Haruka stated bluntly as she crossed her arms and glared at the boy.
"Who ever said I had a problem with you?" He questioned not looking at her which slightly annoyed her.
"Well your attitude and sarcasm haven't exactly been the best. Its pretty hard not to see you as an arrogant, cocky self-loving player." Haruka said as-matter-of-factly. "I'm doing this for a reason and you're just making it harder for me and you."
"You act as if you have all the problems." He stated turning to look at her and that's when she noticed his eyes were completely serious. "Trust me, I know the realm doesn't revolve around me, if it did I wouldn't be here right now. If I have to do this I'm gonna make the best of it-"
"By teasing and annoying me to no extent?" Haruka asked. She waited for a response but nothing came. "I know where you are coming from and all but don't look for your source of amusement out of me. I'm a human being and I will be treated no less. If you're not going to treat me like the princess I am then at least treat me as an equal." She said in a soft tone.
Shuu stared at her for a second and took note of the pleading look in her eyes. Had he really bothered her that much? Maybe being that thorn in her side had caused her enough problems over the fact that they were also engaged. That was what a relationship was about right? Treating your other as an equal and showing them respect; right now he was doing anything but. He knew the terms and he was doing this for the same reason she was so why not treat her as an equal instead of personal amusement; surely that would cause fewer problems in their obviously "rocky" relationship.
"You know what Heiress; I can't say you don't have a point. So to make this work we'll have to act as equals." He sighed crossing his arms. Haruka smiled contently and he couldn't help but smile back.
"Did you just smile?!" She asked in astonishment. He immediately changed his smile to and arrogant sneer.
"Of course not." Shuu Emerald does not smile."
"You so did!" She giggled. Shuu blushed a deep shade of crimson and watched her laugh girlishly. "You should smile more often, its better then wearing a frown or a smirk." She stated as-matter-of-factly.
"I'll keep that in mind." He said waving his hand dismissively at her.
"I hope you do."
………….
Haruka sat at the piano practicing yet another classic hymn. She completely detested the slow toneless songs. Kumi had opened her up to the better varieties of music when they met and that was when she figured out there was more out there then these sixteenth century songs. She glided her hands across the keys as she began to play a song completely unrelated to anything she was supposed to be practicing. She smiled sweetly and began to sing along.
Miracles happen, miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, miracles happen
I can't imagine
living my life without you now
Not ever having you around
We
found our way out
(on you I can depend)
Don't have to look back
to realize how far we've come
There are million reasons
I'm
looking up
I don't want this to end
Nothing
Nothing
should ever bring you down
Knowing what goes around will come
around
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen once in a while
When you believe
(Miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to life
That taking a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When you believe
Haruka didn't have control over her thoughts when thoughts of Shuu came flooding in. 'Maybe something good will come from this with some time…' she thought as a faint smile played her lips.
There is no question
We found the missing pieces
Our picture is completed
It's fallen into place (It's fallen into place)
This is our moment; you and I are looking up
Someone's watching over us
Keeping me close
Closer to you everyday
Nowhere
Nowhere
on earth I'd rather be
No one can take this away from you and me
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen once in a while
When you believe
(Miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to life
That taking a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When you believe
Haruka's Pov
Maybe all I have to do is give this all a fighting chance and hope for a miracle. I'm sure taking this chance will be worth it in the end, or at least I hope.
"Haruka!" my mother called. I sighed and went to her call.
Miracles do happen…..
