Dislciamer: the usual

A/N: Too many things to say today, first thanks for the reviews it's been great to feel appreciated. Second I reply to all my reviews don't send me mails complaining I don't, if you don't sign your reviews with your email or of they are not from registered users -.- I am not magical and I can't foreseen your email address.

Now answering questions this fic is not base on the song teach you a lesson, but the idea of the fic did came from me listening to the song, does that make any sense? Second thing I don't think seeing two girls without formally dating one while both of them are fully aware of it can be considered making Haruka a two timing bastard, so don't flame me .

And finally thanks to the little butterfly that pop on my screen and gave me a sudden rush of inspiration for this chapter. ^.^ Ok that's it, enough talking here is chapter 9 sorry it is short and not too lemony. (Holy that was a long A/N sorry!)

Chapter 9: Dates

They had parted away reluctantly; Michiru afraid of stepping out of the room and out of the dream, Haruka wondering if this had been a onetime thing. The younger girl buried her head on Haruka's chest and the blonde kissed the dreamy curls of her silky hair softly, their hands entwined.

"I don't want to go." Michiru had whispered on her ear, and Haruka wished she didn't have to. But they were at school and any moment now a student will walk through the door. They kissed each other one last time, just a soft brush of the lips against each other.

Finally Michiru let go of her hand, Haruka saw her walking away slowly with her violin case at her side, as she closed her eyes the blonde could smell Michiru's familiar scent all over her skin, the subtle perfume triggering a feeling of déjà vu she could not shake off. Her next student walked in and said nothing about her blushed cheeks and if he noticed anything unusual he never mentioned it.

Haruka sighed as she started playing the piano to guide the baritone singer, her hands diligently touching the keys at the right time and in the right order, but her mind away from the present, going back again and again to what incredibly had just happened minutes ago between her and Michiru.

It was set, Butterfly Muse or not Kasumi Tani and her shared no emotional connection, it had all just been physical and just a one time. With Michiru even before today she had shared so many things, she was who Haruka's soul wanted and now the blonde was sure Michiru Kaioh was even who her body demanded. But was Michiru available? Was Kasumi right? Was she to be the third of her list of lovers? Haruka had to find out, she could not resist the thought of sharing Michiru with anyone, she was in love with her.

Michiru entered her father's office reception smiling, her tanned cheeks blushed. Akira looked at her from her desk and smiled, yet her smile faded as she noticed the wrinkled shirt the girl was wearing and the expression on her face.

"Hi Akira, is my dad waiting for me? He said he needed to me see me today after school."

"Hi Michiru…um he is…but…"

"Yes?" Michiru opened the coat closet and placed her case in it, she turned to look at Akira, her hair slightly tousled.

Touching her necklace with nervous expression Akira walked the distance between them, she had a slight blush on her cheeks by the time she reached Michiru. "Maybe you want to go to the washroom before you sit down to have a word with your dad."

"Hum?" Michiru looked at Akira confounded. "You are acting strange; I don't need to use the washroom."

"I think you do."

Michiru fixed a lock of her hair behind her ear. "No I don't."

Sighing and trying to sound the least involved possible Akira spoke with low soft voice. "You do, trust me, your hair is a mess, there is a hickie on your neck, your shirt is wrinkled and… "Akira cleared her throat. "Your skirt is backwards."

The blue eyes blinked perplex, the girl looked down to her skirt and blushed softly laughing nervously. "Oh, I was…"

Akira raised her palm to make Michiru stop. "I don't need an explanation; in fact I don't want to know anything, the less I know the less I can get involved."

Michiru fixed the bow on her head and walked to the bathroom, she gave Akira a sweet smile as she walked past the girl's desk afterwards. "I owe you one."

"Seems to me you owe me a lot lately Miss Kaioh."

"Call me Michi. " Akira smiled slightly and Michiru walked past her desk to the double doors behind her. She entered the spacious office to find her dad sitting behind the oak desk going through a stack of official looking papers; she walked through the room and sat across the desk smiling. "Hey daddy."

Kaimu looked up and stood up to hug Michiru. "Hey there yourself, how's your day going?"

"Great, never better actually." The man nodded and Michiru fixed her hair over her neck casually covering it. "So, how come you call me here today? It's just Thursday. Don't tell me, you want to make plans for our Spring Break."

"About that, I am afraid I have to leave for New York tomorrow morning."

"Oh? But you're coming back for Spring Break right?" Michiru looked at her father and she knew the answer to her question, she sighed softly and sat on the leather chair unceremoniously. "Am I to spend the holiday alone again?"

"I am sorry Michi, I have to attend an important exhibit in New York, there might be a new talented student coming to our school soon."

"You just got Haruka, how many talents do you want for a one season?"

"Miss Tenoh has nothing to do with this; I am talking about a sculptor. Besides I was thinking that you could use the extra practice for the ensemble, there is just a few weeks left before it, perhaps a Spring Break holiday is not a wise idea."

"No way I am staying stuck here! Absolutely no, I am sick and tired, all I do is practice, practice and school, I have virtually no social life; I need a vacation."

Akira came in holding the famous silver tea tray wishing she could turn around and exit gracefully as she caught the furious words of Michiru, but Kaimu had seen her walk in so she just pretended nothing was out of the ordinary and walked towards the Kaioh's, she silently poured two cups of tea, Michiru refused hers, still looking at her dad with furious glance.

"Practice makes perfect."

"No dad, perfect practice makes perfect, tired and obligated practice makes your daughter very unhappy. I am going to the lake house; just as we had planned if you don't come with me then I'll go by myself."

"You can't go there alone." Kaimu accepted the teacup from Akira who looked like she wanted to leave as soon as humanly possible. "Miss Kitsune please give Michiru some tea, it'll calm her."

"I don't want tea or calm, I won't go alone, I will take Kasumi with me."Akira diligently handed Michiru the teacup again and thanked that despite the look on Michiru's face the teacup did not ended smashed on the floor.

"You need to practice."

"Fine, great. I will take Miss Tenoh with me then, we can practice in the evenings. After I take a hell lot of sun and rest."

Akira felt the silver tray shook slightly in her hands at the thought of Haruka alone in a Lake house with the two teenagers, the antique china tinkling. "You cannot dispose of Miss Tenoh time like that and I cannot ship her off like she was our disposable servant, she probably has a plan for her Spring Break and in any case she cannot look after you."

Michiru thought that bringing Haruka to the lake house was actually the greatest idea she had today, she could set the perfect romantic night for them there, perfect first time. She had to think of something to make it happen, she saw Akira walking away with the tea tray and an idea flashed on her mind. "Miss Kitsune can watch over us, she and Haruka are roommates, she should come with us, she deserves a vacation too, you don't intend her to be here watching over me while you are in New York do you? She should come to the lake with me, Kasumi and Haruka."

Akira turned around with perplex expression. "Miss Kitsune you say. Well I don't know, I was in fact intending for her to have a look over you while you stayed here for Spring Break. But again, we cannot dispose of people's time like they are our own. Miss Kitsune, what do you think of Michiru's idea?"

The blue eyes looked at her with pleading expression. Two teenagers in a lake house for Spring Break versus staying in Tokyo and work over left over paperwork and watch over an unwilling student who will probably sneak out of the campus anyway, it was quite the choice. "Well…"

Michiru sat on her bed, hugging her knees with her chin resting on them, she sighed softly and smiled, the thought of Haruka made her feel warm and aroused again and again. She had the perfect plan in motion, now all she needed was for the pieces to fall in place, she will have the most romantic holiday ever, even if she had to dodge Akira's watching eye or Kasumi's flirting schemes which she was sure were around the corner.

So she and Haruka were not dating formally yet, which meant she could not shake Kasumi off the race, but she was certainly way ahead of the blonde. Or at least she hoped she was, she was too afraid to ask if Haruka had stop 'talking' to Kasumi and started engaging in more physical endeavors. Kasumi was sitting at her desk, even her sometimes had to focus on homework, her long hair tied up in a lose ponytail.

"Are you coming tomorrow to the College Café with me?" The blonde raised her eyes from the homework, she had a look at Michiru who seemed particularly happy this evening, she had been humming to herself all evening.

"No. You can have your own double date with the Twinkies, seems they have made you quite happy, you're glowing."

Michiru smiled her cheeks blushed. "Come on, it will be fun. Why not? Don't tell me you have a date or something."

"As a matter of fact I do. Haruka and I are going out on a real date."

"Oh." Michiru tried not to look upset, but she felt a knot on her throat, of course they were having a date, Haruka had probably asked Kasumi out way before what happened between them today, she wondered however if the dates will keep on after that. She brushed the thought away; she wasn't letting insecurity steal away the happy feeling growing inside her. "Say, are you going home for Spring Break?"

"I thought we were going to your House on the Lake. Why? Was there a change of plans?"

"No. I just wondered if you were still up for it." Hoping she wasn't was more like it, suddenly Michiru really didn't felt like sharing Haruka's time on the Spring Break with Kasumi, not that the tomboy had agreed to go just yet but Michiru had a feeling she was going to. "My dad is not coming; Akira might come with us instead."

Kasumi raised her eyebrows then a big smile showed on her red lips. "Tell me your next words are 'Haruka is coming too'."

Lowering her eyelashes Michiru hugged her knees tighter. "I don't know yet. Maybe."

"Oh that is just perfect Michi, perfect."

"Yeah…"

Michiru took a look at her wristwatch, still one hour left for her Solo Lesson, she went back to stare at her lunch without feeling hungry at all. The violinist had to admit that hearing Kasumi's plans about how she intended to seduce Haruka on their date turned her stomach and gave her a bad night sleep. How was she going to ask Haruka to cancel her date with Kasumi? Could she just bluntly say it? Perhaps she was not entitled to it, but then again what had happened last night was not just something she went around campus doing with anyone. That had to give her some saying, although again, Kasumi just laughed softly when Michiru asked how far she had gone with Haruka, the gray eyed blonde battered her eyelashes while laughing and said that they had gone far enough. What the hell did far enough meant?

Michiru closed her eyes, she played with her right pigtail as she practice in her mind how she intended to ask Haruka to stop seeing Kasumi without sounding desperate, but she was. "A penny for your thoughts Miss Kaioh?"

"Oh hi Hail. What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" The redhead laughed and sat down across from Michiru, she took a long look at her, dressed on her black uniform and with two cute pigtails Michiru looked just adorably sexy.

"If I say yes will that turn you on?"

"It certainly will have the opposite effect."

"Well no I wasn't. I had to come see a teacher and she teaches second year music writing here at the High school. Then I saw you here and I had to come say how very sexy you look with that schoolgirl outfit."

"It is not an 'outfit' I happen to be schoolgirl, pervert." Michiru wasn't really mad, she was getting used to Hail's constant flirting.

"Right, right. Still maybe you should wear it tonight, are you still coming with us?"

"Yes I am and no I am not wearing this. Stop it ah? Remember I told you I am not available, actually very soon I believe this person is going to ask me out formally."

"Oh I see. Who is the lucky lady hum?"

Michiru touched her hair nervously. "I can't tell you."

Hail was curious by nature but she knew when not to press a subject, the one thing she didn't want was for Michiru to be mad at her. "Is Kasumi coming tonight?"

"No, I don't know, maybe. She has a date but… I think it might get cancelled." With a lot of luck.

"She doesn't like the gal?"

"She does…it is complicated."

"Seems a lot of things are lately. Whatever the case you should bring your violin, it is open stage so maybe you can play something."

"Mmm I will bring my violin but I doubt I'll go on stage to play it. I don't think I can compete with experienced college students."

"You'd be surprised, talent is not about age. So now tell me, when are you going to let me take you out on a date?"

Michiru tilted her head, she lowered her eyelashes and Hail couldn't help to think she had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. "Didn't I just tell you the person I like might ask me out soon?"

"Yes, but not yet. How about a friendly date?"

"I doubt you are capable of that. No dates. Just friends."

"Let me take you to the beach on the Spring Break it will be fun, promise."

The girl shook her head, Hail didn't felt discouraged though, as long as Michiru wasn't formally dating anyone she had hope. "I am not going to be around, I am going away for the Spring Break."

"Oh? Somewhere exotic?"

"Not really, Lake Sagami."

Hail smiled brightly. "Really? Isn't that great, that is where my parents live."

"Is it?"

"Mhmm if you are going, then me and Rain will go visit our folks and maybe we can go to the Pleasure Forest together."

"Why do I have the idea that you said Pleasure with a bit too much emphasis?"

"It must be because I always put a lot of emphasis on pleasure." Michiru blushed softly but they both laughed. "It is an amusement park."

"I know, I've been there. We'll see, I will give you my number and maybe we can have a group activity."

Hail nodded. "Yes I know, group scenarios, you know, the fact that you don't want to be alone around me only makes me think you have hidden passionate feelings for me."

"If that is the case maybe I should go out with you and show you I don't…" Michiru noticed a small smile on the redhead lips and she smiled back knowing too well she had seen right through Hail's intentions. "…but then again maybe that is just what you want to hear. So I will stick to group scenarios."

"You are too smart, I like that too. There are a lot of things I like about you Michiru…"

Walking deliberately slow Michiru crossed the door frame of Haruka's classroom and closed the door behind her wishing badly there was a lock on the door. Haruka was waiting for her leaning casually against the piano, trying not to look too eager to meet her.

Michiru wetted her lips nervously, she stood silently holding her violin case, her eyes on the floor, she wasn't sure what to say or to do, all her planning wasn't really translating into reality. Haruka looked at her and she felt her heart suddenly oppressed. "Michiru, are you ok?"

The girl raised her eyes, her cheeks were blushed, she nodded softly still holding the case with both hands. "I don't want you to go out with Kasumi."

Haruka smiled and she stepped closer to her, she had thought the worse possible scenarios for Michiru to look so distressed, this was certainly the least painful of all.

When the words escaped her lips, Michiru felt like a stupid little girl, she didn't even gave herself time to find out if Haruka even wanted to keep seeing her anymore, she felt her soft blush turn into a full blush and she avoided the green eyes as she felt Haruka walking closer to her. "Look at me."

Raising her blue eyes Michiru looked at Haruka, the blonde smiling at her. "I…I had a speech, about why you shouldn't go out with her and, but…" Haruka covered her lips with her own before she could keep excusing herself, when the tomboy step away, Michiru smiled at her.

"I was going to tell her tonight I am not seeing her anymore. Is that good enough?" Michiru nodded and threw her arms around Haruka "Ouch, why is it that girls always hit me with stuff?"

Michiru laughed apologetically as she realized she had hit Haruka with her violin case but she just felt so happy right now. "I'm sorry." Michiru dropped her case and hugged Haruka again kissing the lips softly over and over.

"It's ok. Michiru, yesterday was, I don't regret it, do you?"

"Don't be silly Haruka, of course not." Michiru kissed her again, willingly parting her lips to welcome her tongue and Haruka almost lost her control with her again but she had thought about it carefully, they could get caught in the classroom anytime; things had to be done properly away from the school.

"Michiru don't take this the wrong way but I think we should be practicing, I just don't think it's a good idea for us to…here at school"

Michiru's hand traveled along Haruka's torso, the violinist pulling the buttons of the blonde shirt open. "I understand"

Smiling Haruka took the soft hand away from her shirt. "Michi…"

"Fine, fine, practicing time. But… when…" Haruka kissed her lips again softly.

"Soon, I promise." Michiru nodded and parted away from the soft lips with a sense of void, she picked up her violin and looked at the blonde sitting already at the piano.

"You're not going to be a huge jerk again are you?"

Haruka shook her head lifting an eyebrow as she heard the girl she liked calling her huge jerk. "Just make sure to point that violin up."

"Hmmm." Michiru placed the violin on her shoulder trying to give the blonde an offended look but her eyes were smiling. She just felt too happy right now; nothing could ruin this for her. "When's soon?"

"Practice first, then we'll talk."

So she and Haruka were going out on a date the next day, Michiru was just too excited about it, she wished she could tell Kasumi but until Haruka could talk to her Michiru had promised not to say anything. So tonight while the blondes went out on their 'date' Michiru was determined to have a great night with the Tenki Twinkies as Kasumi had gracefully named them.

She walked into the café, she chose to wear a simple black dress and tied her hair on a lose ponytail, not that it mattered anyway, people around here were dressed in all kinds of styles and colors, she spotted Rain sitting at a table on the front, the artist had left behind her paint stained usual clothes and was looking dashing with a gray silk shirt and black pants, Hail was not with her yet. Moving along the sea of tables and people Michiru spotted Akira sitting not too far from the redhead table, she was accompanied by a brunette Michiru didn't know so she chose not to approach and say hi, she was not sure how welcomed she will be by Akira, after all she had cornered her with the whole Lake House idea.

Finally she reached the table where Rain sat down, the redhead seemed happy to see her. "Hey, you made it."

Michiru smiled and sat at the small table. "Where's Hail?" Rain pointed the stage.

"She's performing, she didn't tell you that? She will come out any moment now."

"Oh that's great. I wanted to see her perform."

Shortly after Michiru saw Hail on stage, she carried her cello with her, the red long hair perfectly fixed framing the beautiful face, her eyes calmed and almost absent, wearing another of her very fitting black suits.

She sat down on the lonely chair in the middle of the stage and positioned the cello between her knees, the endpin perfectly aligned on the floor. Hail closed her eyes for a moment while the murmur of the voices died along with the lights in the place making the spotlight Hail was under appear brighter.

Once the room was in perfect silence she raised her bow, her eyes suddenly alive again, almost like emerald flames, Michiru could feel the eyes on her even though the redhead could have been looking anywhere and the violinist felt a sudden blush on her cheeks under the intense gaze. Hail smiled slightly and then grazed the bow over the strings to start playing, unlike the brighter tones of the violin the cello music was low and mellow but still deeply engaging, the notes felt like a love whisper in the redhead's hands. She started playing a song Michiru had heard before but never on a cello version, If I Ain't got you from Alicia Keys. She manage to disengage from the green eyes when the cellist closed her eyes and let the music embraced her, just as she embraced her instrument with loving touch.

The notes came one after the other like waves on the deep ocean, all of them washing the shore at Michiru's feet, she never thought Hail was such a passionate performer. When Hail stopped playing there was a few seconds of absolute silence before the crowd started clapping, Michiru was really happy to have been able to hear Hail played. "She is amazing isn't she?" Rain's voice made Michiru's turn away from the stage, she nodded smiling. "That's why she is so cocky; if she asks tell her she needs to practice more."

Michiru laughed softly. "That might kill her. She is very good."

"If she can resist you shunning her away constantly I am sure she can resist you telling her she has to practice more, of course she might go insane."

"What are you two laughing at?" Michiru turned around to find Hail looking at her, her delicate pale face blushed after the performance. "You are not putting your moves on Michiru are you? You better not be."

"Why not ah? Like she won't like me or something? I bet she likes me better than you."

Michiru shook her head as the two sisters started bickering again. "Stop it girls. Hail are you playing again?"

"Oh yes, that's why I came here, thanks for making me lose my train of thought Rain. I was wondering if you want to join me on stage."

"Me? Like a duet? But we have never played together."

Hail smiled confidently. "You play I will follow you. There has to be a piece we both know."

Michiru looked at the redhead doubtful. "I don't know Hail what if I make an ass out of both of us up there?"

"Humor me; it'll be a musical date."

"Hmmm I don't know Hail, lately duets don't seem to be my forte."

"Come on Michi, it'll be better than holding your hand on the sunset, come upstage with me and I will stop pestering for a date today"

"Well…"

(A/N: yeah it's me again. :P I will have more sexy scenes on the next chapter, promise!)
