This is such a short one :) But it was really fun to write :) Enjoy!! Oh and Hoshi means star! In case you didn't know I am OBSESSED with stars :D So I decided to add a little humorous "character" into it. Sachi means lucky or blessed.
RECAP: From the end of Ch. 7
Haruka rang the doorbell and Michiru's mother answered. She frowned at Haruka.
"Yes?"
Haruka put a very kind look on her face. "Hi, my name is Haruka Tenoh, I'm a friend of Michiru's is she home?"
Michiru's mother smiled at what she thought was a young man. "I'm sorry she's not but she just called and said she would be home soon would you like to wait for her?"
Haruka smiled. "Well I wouldn't want to impose."
Michiru's mother blushed at the charming young man. "Oh, not at all. I'm just making some tea you must have some."
Michiru glanced at herself in the reflection of her glass door as she waited for her mother to answer the door. She looked quite ridiculous in Haruka's old baggy clothes, but she shrugged and breathed in Haruka's scent.
Michiru sighed. She had realized on her walk home that she overreacted over Shinju. Shinju was Haruka's first love.
Michiru had plenty of past girlfriends… and boyfriends for that matter. Michiru hoped that she could replace Shinju's place in Haruka's heart eventually.
Michiru's mother beamed as she answered the door. Sachi Kaiou was a thin woman with fragile ember eyes and long dark black hair. She grimaced as she looked at Michiru's appearance. "Michiru, where have you been? I thought you said you were staying over at your friend's house? Um… what was her name? Was it Hoshi? Didn't you pack your own clothes? Hurry upstairs! Your friend Haruka is here and he has been waiting for you for a fair amount of time. Michiru why are you looking at me that way go upstairs and change!"
Michiru shut her door and burst into laughter as she shook her head with relief. She shed Haruka's baggy clothes and redressed into a ruffled black shirt and a short jean skirt. She brushed her perfect silky hair and applied a small amount of makeup which made her skin look even more stunning.
"Haruka, I'm so happy to see you! How was your trip?" Michiru said in a flirty voice and winked at Haruka.
Haruka played along with Michiru's game. "You look lovely Michiru. It was wonderful thank you." Haruka's eyes pierced into Michiru's with pain and hurt. Michiru's were apologetic and even more hurt.
Sachi cleared her throat. "So Michiru, is Haruka really your friend? Or is he your boyfriend?"
Michiru pretend to be mortified. "Mother, how can you ask such a question? Especially right in front of him!"
Haruka cut in. "It's really all right Ms. Kaiou. We didn't want to tell you because we were afraid that you might be upset because I'm so much older than she is."
Michiru was impressed. Haruka did look especially masculine and older today. She smelled heavenly as well and Michiru wished her Mother would just leave so she could tackle Haruka and lather her in kisses. She wished she could just make up for everything she said this way. Michiru sighed quietly. If only it could be that easy.
Sachi nodded. "I understand. I would have done the same thing. Well you are very handsome Haruka. I do hope you stay for lunch."
Michiru rolled her eyes. "Mother, Haruka just got home from a trip. S--he needs to relax and we need to talk. I haven't seen him in two weeks."
Sachi raised her eyebrows. She wanted it so that she could keep an eye on this boy. "Oh of course. Well it was nice meeting you Haruka. Say goodbye Michiru."
Michiru glared at her mother. "Actually mom I was wondering if I could take a ride with Haruka. I need to get my clothes from Hoshi anyway." It took everything Michiru had not to burst into laughter.
Sachi's eyes darkened. "Well Michiru, I'm leaving on a business trip tonight and I won't be back for a couple days. I was expecting you to still be at Hoshi's house because I thought you said you would be there for a week… Why did you come home anyway? And I haven't seen you in a while and I mean I did just meet this--"
Michiru looked pleading. 'Please Mom' she mouthed.
Sachi smirked. "Well all right."
Haruka kissed Sachi's small hand and smiled. "Thank you Ms. Kaiou. Your daughter is in good hands."
Sachi's face reddened. "It was nice meeting you Haruka!"
Michiru ran out the door as Sachi called, "But I'll be calling at 10 o'clock sharp so you better be home!"
As soon as Michiru closed the door the game was over and both Haruka and Michiru were snapped back into reality. The drive felt endless and when they stopped in front of Haruka's house. Michiru was having second thoughts about everything. But as she followed Haruka into the house, Kohana's words rang in her head and she knew what she had to face.
Well that takes care of her Mother! Am I driving you crazy yet? I know this story is kind of dragging on but I mean come on Haruka had to meet her mom! Michiru met Kohana so I thought it only fair! And besides Sachi is hilarious…well at least to me she is! Haha well I hope you enjoyed it! I sure enjoyed writing it! Now comes the serious part. Will they forgive each other? Will Michiru and Haruka end up together? Keep reading and reviewing :D
