Well, I'm here at my internship and the lady who's in charge of me isn't here right now. So I decided to write a chapter. However, im not getting the amount of reviews that I would like to have. I assume that I'm boring yall if I don't get any reviews. But I am glad to know so many people put me as a favorite story or alert-or whatever its called.

And I hope this story doesnt suck because then that would suck.


Michiru stood outside Haruka's room; the door was closed and Haruka suggested that her and Michiru go out for the evening. They just got finish eating dinner with the Tenoh family, and Haruka had said it would be good for the two of them to go out for a show and dessert.

She debated whether or not she should dress up but in the end, she wanted to look gorgeous so she wore her teal green evening dress. Guilt gathered in her throat and settled there for a moment. Earlier that day she was at the pool side flirting with Haruka's cousin. But there was something about that woman that was mysterious. Michiru figured that if she got close to her cousin then the secrets that are hiding in the walls would finally talk.

The door unclenched and Haruka stepped out with a black tuxedo on, her hair curly and smelling like violets because of accidentally spraying her hair along with her body. Oh, Michiru couldn't help but chuckle-Haruka would do that, accidentally spray herself with perfume or cologne.

"You are handsome, Tenoh."

Haruka didn't respond, but her cheeks flushed with a pinkish color. She took Michiru's hand and kissed it. Her soft lips tasted the smooth, fair flesh known to be Michiru's skin. Michiru closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling; if she didn't know better, she would have assumed Haruka was trying to woo her.

All these feelings of trust and mistrust for Haruka left Michiru feeling pity for herself. Haruka would do things to make Michiru wonder then she would turn around, and act so courteous.

Not many words were exchanged but then again not many people talked while watching a melo-dramatic play. Most people would be laughing hysterically, including Michiru but Haruka wasn't. She appeared to be watching the show but her eyes were somewhere else, lost in thought.

No more would Michiru wonder what was lingering in the Tenoh home; no more because it would cause nothing but trouble.

The walked the Hawaiian trails that would lead them back to the house. The path was lighted with scented mosquito candle that glowed on the path. Michiru stopped walker and harden her grip around Haruka's arm. The taller blond woman halted; her nicely shine black ball room shoes shined in the glimmer of the lights. Michiru hoped they wouldn't get dirty on the path.

"Haruka…"

"What, Michiru?" Her tone, was…was not what Michiru was used to. She straightened herself up and told herself that this had to end, all the secrets that she's hiding has to stop. Why, because she's dragging Hotaru in with her.

"You seriously need to tell me what's going on? I know somethings going on; at first, I didn't but now-yeah. You going off in the night; you taking Hotaru with you."

Haruka fixed her tie by looking at her reflection from the light puddles on the trail. She snorted and peered at Michiru giving her a smirk.

"Do you really want to know?"

Michiru waited-

"Do you really want to know what I do? There meetings that are mandatory for the Tenoh family. We deal with business."

"What kind of business?"

"That I can't tell you."

Michiru rolled her eyes and walked forward-"Okay, you know what..."

"What? What are you going to do about it? Run to Techi?"

Her eyes got wide and she snapped her head around to look at Haruka; did Haruka see the exchange that the two had at the pool ealier that day? But then, it was nothing serious. Maybe if Haruka paid more attention to her, she wouldn't have to seek attention somewhere. Her arms crossed over her bosom and she stare, hard at Haruka.

"You know, at least Techi isn't timid around me. If I didn't know better, I would assume she was afraid of you."

Haruka clears her throat but doesn't exchange any harsh words. Harsh words that she was becoming good at , she grin and put her hands in her pockets. Michiru watched not knowing to be afraid as Haruka's eyes gleamed in the moonlight with such, such...spite. Michiru stepped back a bit when Haruka was close to her. Her slender hands lifted up Michiru's chin and held focus on her eyes.

Michiru felt the coldness from Haruka's hand; she tried to pull away but Haruka held her firm.

She whispered, "I'm not telling you anything!"

Michiru slapped Haruka's hand away. "She is my daughter too and you have no right to make her apart of your sick family's business." Her finger was in Haruka's face, a sharp point. "Don't you bring Hotaru in your mess or I'll get the cops."

Michiru saw Haruka's face squinch up; her cheeks became tight and her eyes water; she burst out laughing. Laughing hard as if Michiru told a joke, the most hilarious joke ever. Haruka bent over, slapped her knees, and even wiped a few tears away. All this time, Michiru stepped further and further away from Haruka. When Haruka regain her composure, she held out her arm.

"Come here, Michiru." Her voice, luring Michiru in. "Let's go to bed with one another. Like you said, let's make love."

It was cold now and Michiru was shivering trying to keep herself warm. What could have been such a beautiful night turned into such a dark and horrid night mare. The lights that lighted the trail, blew out and Michiru was left in darkness with the swaying of the trees that howled. Then standing in front of her, trying to get closer to her was Haruka. What happened? She was confused on what was going on and how Haruka was acting?

She screamed out and her voice sounded terrified. "Haruka! I don't know you. I don't know what has become of you, Haruka!" Michiru's feet moved from beneath her and she ran away from Haruka. She ran up the trail, all the while screaming back but never looking back. "Haruka!"

Haruka didn't chase after her; she wanted too. O' how much she wanted too but something within her held her back. Her own anger and illness. She placed her hands back in her pockets and shoveled around at the dirt on the trail. She walked slowly thinking, 'I need to talk to Techi.'
