Author's Note: Hello, well here is the chap I promised to upload early. It is short, but it sort of complements chap 3. Hmm, what else…oh yeah, I used oba-san for Haruka to refer to her godmother because I think is more close as for the relationship they have instead of godmother. I read oba-san means aunt, but also mature or old lady. Don't really know, but please bear with me.
As I lay dying Ch.4 -continued
In another part of the school buildings, to be exact: in the music classroom, Michiru found herself with her violin on shoulder and bow in hand. Music notes flying and filling the classroom with a joyful touch.
"That sounds very good Kaioh-san. Your music resembles a happier and joyful tone today than any other day. Something must have happened to you today right?" Kaori, who happened to be part of the school band due to her abilities with the clarinet, asked her.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just felt like animating the class today?"
"Ah and here I thought it had something to do with you and Haruka-kun" at the name of the blonde racer Michiru frowned. Yes, Takati Kaori was still a problem. Kaori used every opportunity she had to be all over the handsome runner, Michiru had to make an extra effort to keep her jealousy unseen. Well, she did know that Haruka really didn't pay Kaori attention, but still, it annoyed her to have Kaori trying to seduce Haruka.
"Even if it was like that, I don't have to explain my life to you or what I do with Haruka, Takati-san" Michiru calmly answered and went back to play her violin.
"Haruka? So you guys are that close now?" the hazel eyed girl seemed to break into tears.
"We are really good friends" just for now, I hope, "Haruka and I shared many things together and yes you could say we are close"
That finished the platinum haired beauty, "I just hope you make him very happy" and with that the clarinetist broke into tears and quickly left to her place without any other word, she picked up her instrument and made a suddenly exit.
Later on, when their activities were done and the runner and violinist had made their way to the latter's house.
"Thank you" Michiru couldn't stop thanking the blonde for her chivalry by bringing her home.
"I already told you a million times you don't have to thank me. I do it because I like to"
"Ha-ha, ok ok, I get it"
"Now, I will see you tomorrow like around 6' o clock? Is that fine"
"Umm yes, that would work"
"Do you want me to pick you up or you want to meet me at the Shakati shopping mall? That's where the cinema is"
"Ah no, I will meet you there. At Shakati?"
"Yes. Well you have my number already, so if you need directions or something just call or text me ok?
"Ok. I will see you tomorrow then"
Michiru stood on tiptoe and lifted herself just to place a warm kiss on the runner's cheek.
"Bye. I will see you tomorrow Haruka"
Tomorrow, Michiru. Tomorrow will be a great day you'll see. Tomorrow starts a new cycle in our lives, I just can't wait for tomorrow. Haruka drove off from Michiru's house and headed to her own home.
Inside the Kaioh's manor Michiru was ecstatic to say the least. The day had been fantastic; her dream was finally coming to a reality, at least half it was. She got a date with the person she loved and well may be tomorrow…who knew.
"Michi-chan, you look very cheerful today. My daughter, you have grown up so fast and are so beautiful", Shiori said as she caressed the aquamarine locks of her daughter.
"Oh mother please, I am 15 of course I am growing up"
"Your mother is right, Michiru. You are becoming a beautiful young lady and I am sure than more than one boy at your school wants to date you already" the head of the Kaioh's family, Masaru, resonated with a stern tone.
"About that, I didn't question your request for not being picked up after school by our chauffeur. And today I found out why, I saw that young man in the motorcycle outside. Michiru, who is that?" Shiori curiously questioned her daughter; she perceived Michiru's happiness and felt glad her little girl was experimenting new feelings, such as love.
"YOU SAW WHAT?" Masaru semi shouted with an anger expression covering his face, "My daughter, a Kaioh in a motorbike? Are you insane girl? You know how dangerous that is?" the brown haired man exploded against his daughter, "And you" pointing his index finger to his now pale looking wife, "why the hell didn't you tell me that the chauffeur wasn't picking up Michiru? Are you conscious that something could have had happened to her while riding that machine?" Masaru was furious because her wife and daughter hid that little fact from him.
"Oto-san, please don't get mad with oka-san. I didn't want to tell any of you because I knew that you were going to oppose" Michiru's voice was low and apologetic, but she kept her gaze at her dad's.
"If you knew you were doing wrong, then why? It's absurd, starting Monday; our chauffer will pick you up ok"
"Oto-san please, Haruka-kun is a very skill and responsible rider. He…He won't ever do anything to hurt me"
"No, Michiru. You will do as I say, and if you want to still see that Haruka guy then you will obey me. Understood?"
Michiru knew better not to pressure her luck, so she just nodded at her father's request, "understood oto-san". Satisfied with the answer of his daughter, Masaru left his wife and daughter still in the living room.
"I am sorry, Michi-chan" the voice of her mother remembered Michiru that she wasn't alone.
"I won't let oto-san intrude into my life. I won't ever stop seeing Haruka. Haruka is my friend oka-san and I like him very much" Michiru had to be careful in how she addressed Haruka in front of her parents. Michiru felt more confident with her mother and she knew she will need her help in the future, so she had to trust her.
"Oh my darling, you are in love. Aren't you?" looking at the gleam of happiness her daughter had a moment ago and now that determination in her voice, Shiori knew Michiru had found her first love.
"Is that obvious? I don't know how it happened, it just happened. Oka-san, I don't oto-san to intervene. Haruka and I… We are still meeting each other. He just asked me out for a date" Michiru poured out her feelings and confessed her mother her first date.
"Haruka? Is that his name? Don't worry my child. I will help you out ok? I will try to talk to your father. He has to understand that you are growing up and are going to start new relationships"
"Yes, Tenoh Haruka, and thank you oka-san. It's good to know that at least I count with you"
"Yes, Michiru you can count with me. But you will have to tell me more about that Haruka, and as for tomorrow, you have my permission to go out with him"
"Thank you, I am very excited for tomorrow" Michiru smiled a bit.
"Now, that's my girl. Smile and enjoy your youth and love my child. I will do every thin g in my power to see you happy, and if your happiness now is Haruka, then I will let you see him"
With nothing more said, the violinist and her mother embraced each other, after that Michiru started heading for her room, she had lots to do like picking up her outfit for her date next day.
"Tadaima" the runner's voice sang throughout the living room of her godmother's.
"Haru-chan, you're quite early today. And that smile? Did something good happen today at school?"
"Ah oba-san, you don't miss anything eh? Yes, something good… no, no, no…something wonderful happened"
"Oh my Haruka, it's because I love and care for you that I know when you are up to something or just feel completely happy, like you do now. Now, do you care to tell this old lady what's that about?"
"Old? Of course not oba-san, if mom would hear you she would get mad at you cuz you two are the same age" Haruka laughed lightly, "well, it's something kind of… personal. There is this person I…I sort of like and…"
"My child, you don't have to force yourself. Whenever you feel ready to talk to me comfortably, I'll be here. Just one thing, I want to meet that pretty lady when you both get together"
The motorbike rider felt her cheeks warm and she could felt her blushing increase as her godmother just shook her head slightly. "You…You know?"
"Of course I know, I just told you I love and care for you. Haruka, you might not be my own child, but I look for you as one"
"And you…then you accept me and love me even though I am a…even though I like girls?"
"Yes, I do. I love you and accept you just the way you are. Haruka I will even love you if you had two heads or were an alien from Uranus"
Haruka couldn't resist any longer and threw herself to her godmother's loving arms. Madoka was a very understanding and open mind woman. Madoka had noticed her goddaughter attitude towards girls early on when they still lived in the village, but it wasn't until two years ago when they arrived to Tokyo that her Haru-chan was rather very popular with girls.
"Thank you, oba-san. I just wanted to tell you that I also love you very much and well… the girl I like. She is not my girlfriend…yet, but you will be the first to know when that happens" Haruka smiled warmly.
"Ok. I will wait for that, I don't think a good and smart girl in her sane mind will say no to a really handsome and charming girl like you, my Haruka"
"Oh oba-san, you just say that because you love me very much"
"That and because you really are very handsome and lovely"
