Chapter Three: Homecomings

(Juban High School)

Michiru walked out of the school towards Haruka’s yellow convertible as she leaned against it seeming to be staring off at nothing. Michiru stopped next to Haruka leaning up and kissing her on the cheek. Haruka jerked a little at the kiss she hadn’t seen Michiru walk up. “Love are you alright?” Michiru asked.

“Yea I am fine.” Haruka said pulling Michiru to her and kissing her. “How was practice?”

“Good, something is bothering you seem agitated.” Michiru said as Haruka opened the door for her and she sat down.

Haruka walked around the car and sat down next to Michiru moving to start the car but stopped resting her hands on the steering wheel. “I saw my father today.”

“Oh,” Michiru said knowing Haruka and her father didn’t get along at all and it wasn’t often that they saw each other. “What about?”

“He wants us to come for the weekend or rather my stepmother does.” Haruka said starting the car and driving out of the parking lot of the school. Michiru noticed when they hit the main road Haruka had turned left when she should have turned right wondering where they were going but not saying anything. She reached out and placed her hand on Haruka’s whose hand was on the shifter. “She must be really agitated. A drive will do her good.” Michiru thought to herself then looked up at Haruka “Do you want to go? If you want to I’m sure Setsuna will watch Hotaru for the weekend.”

“No I rather not be anywhere near that man but we have to go.” Haruka said as they headed towards the beach.

“Why do you have to go? Is he going to cut you off? Love we make enough money that we don’t need his money.” Michiru said. “We’ll be fine without it.”

“Michi that isn’t it I could care less if he cut me off. I can’t tell you why we have to go but we just have to go. Please just trust me I promise I will tell you I just can’t right now.” Haruka said.

“I’ll always trust you love.” Michiru said gently squeezing Haruka’s hand on the shifter. Michiru was lying she did trust Haruka but she never liked it when Haruka kept things from her. She had noticed something was bothering Haruka even before she spoke with her father but every time she asked about it Haruka dodged the question. They rode in silence but it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence as Michiru slid closer to Haruka resting her head on her shoulder. Haruka turned the pulled over to a small beach that the pair went to often. Both got out of the car and walked over to the beach sitting on the shore watching the waves as the wind gently blew over them. “Ruka why don’t you and your father get along?”

“It is a long story, Michiru.” Haruka said.

“Well we have a while. Hotaru is spending the night at Usagi’s house.” Michiru said resting her head on Haruka’s shoulder again. “It’s alright if you don’t want to.”

“No it’s alright I’ll tell you. Things between my father and I weren’t always bad we were close when I was young but he started drifting away distancing himself from my mother and me. Something happened between him and my mother I know now but I didn’t back then. They got into a big argument one day before school. My mother left to take me to school she was crying but she tried to hide it but I could tell. I didn’t know why she was crying. I don’t know how it happened but the car spun out I broke my arm and she was killed in the crash. She was crying because my father was cheating on her and she had just found out. Not long after he remarried an American woman his secretary. I fell like he was trying to replace my mother. I have never gotten along with my stepmother. It was her idea to send me to a boarding school. That’s where I met Yuki. I don’t know if I was in love with her or with the thrill of a secret romance. She was older than me by a few years and the headmaster’s daughter. She taught me all kinds of things and showed me all kinds of pleasure. Pleasure I had never felt before; well before I met you love. Her father found out about us and I was expelled from the school sent back to my father in disgrace. He was ashamed of me refused to acknowledge that his daughter was gay. He all but disowned me. Set me up with an apartment downtown and a monthly allowance. Well I guess you know the rest.”

“Haruka I never.” Michiru said.

“It’s okay Michiru it happened a long time ago. Besides I’m happy now. Let’s go to his house make nice for the weekend and then everything can go back to normal.” Haruka said standing up helping Michiru up with her. “But for now we’ll go home.”

(The weekend, Ten’ou Manor)

Haruka and Michiru walked away from her car towards a large house the font door opened and a young boy around the age of seven came running out his hair was worn short and in the same style as Haruka and Hayaki. It was blonde but seemed to hold a little of a red tint to it. “Haruka! Haruka!” He ran right over to the pair and jumped at Haruka. She nearly fell over but managed to keep her balance spinning with him.

“Hunter it’s good to see you too.” Haruka said putting the boy down and looking up seeing her father and Alison walk over. She turned to Michiru as Hunter tugged on her pant leg. “What do you want Hunter.” Haruka asked bending down to him.

“Who is the pretty lady?” Hunter asked glancing up at Michiru then back to Haruka. “I like her hair.”

Haruka let out a small laugh as she looked up to Michiru, “The pretty lady is my girlfriend. Ten’ou Hunter I want you to meet Kaiou Michiru.”

“Pleasure to meet you Hunter-kun.” Michiru said holding her hand out.

Hunter took her hand and gently kissed it, “No the pleasure is all mine.”

“Being charming must be a Ten’ou trait.” Michiru said.

“That it is young lady.” Hayaki said as he walked over. “Ten’ou Hayaki and this is my wife Alison.”

Michiru shook both their hands then they headed inside. “Haruka, how long did you say you and Michiru have been together?” Alison asked.

“We’ve been together a little over two years Ten’ou-san.” Michiru said taking a seat on a small sofa Haruka sitting right next to her.

“Oh please dear call me Alison. I’ve lived in Japan for ten years but still haven’t gotten used all your formalities besides we’re practically family.” Alison said. “Have a sit deary, so Haruka tells me you are a violinist. You know Hayaki and I actually saw you perform last month at Tokyo Music Hall. I must say you were absolutely amazing. I’ve never heard anything quite like it.”

“Why thank you Alison.” Michiru said. “But I’m not that good.”

“You’ll have to forgive Michiru she’s modest and won’t admit she is a musical genius.” Haruka said.

“Haruka-” Michiru said as Haruka placed her hand on her thigh. Michiru smiled and then placed her hand on top of Haruka’s hand.

They both looked over as Hayaki cleared his throat. He was about to say something but Alison placed her hand on his arm and shook her head. “Kaiou that name sounds familiar any relations Kaiou Kazaki?” Hayaki asked after a pause where Haruka was sure he changed what he was about to say.

“He was my father.” Michiru said.

“I thought I heard something familiar in your music. He was a gifted conductor.” Hayaki said.

“Well let’s get the two of you settled I have the prefect room for the two of you.” Alison said.

“Room?” Hayaki asked.

“Yes dear.” Alison said standing up and grabbing Haruka and Michiru’s hands.

(Later that night)

Michiru came out of the adjoined bathroom wearing her night gown she saw Haruka standing at the window looking outside. She stepped up behind her and kissed her neck. “Your family doesn’t seem that bad.”

“You haven’t seen the other side of my father.” Haruka said as she looked out the window hearing sounds from the room next to them from the window. “And we haven’t been here very long.”

Haruka leaned out the window and looked over to the room next to them realizing the window was open and you could hear them. “Did you see them all over each other it was disgusting.” They could hear her father say.

“See I told you he hates me.” Haruka said turning to Michiru.

“If he hates you then why does he still give you money each month?” Michiru asked.

“Because I’m not of age yet if he cut me off I could go to the court and press charges. He’s buying me off trying to avoid a scandal.” Haruka said. “Imagine how it would look if the president of Ten’ou Corp. was brought up on abandonment charges.”

“I don’t believe that’s the only reason Haruka. What about your stepmother? She doesn’t seem that bad.” Michiru said.

“I told you I just never liked her. She’s not my mother.” Haruka said.

“Hayaki really it wasn’t that bad besides you can’t pick who you fall in love with. Look at us you were married. She’s your daughter why can’t you accept her?” Alison said.

“There look she’s even defending you.” Michiru said.

“Oh while the same time she mentions that she ruined my parent’s marriage.” Haruka said.

“It’s not natural.” Hayaki said. “If I give it to her I might as well be encouraging her.”

“And what would be wrong with that?” Alison said.

“Give you what?” Michiru asked.

“I can’t tell you yet. Michi please don’t ask.” Haruka said running her hands through Michiru’s hair.

“Fine Haruka I’ll play along.” Michiru said turning away and walking to the bed.

“Michi don’t get mad at me.” Haruka said coming up behind Michiru and pulling her close to her. “Please Michi.” It bothered her that she had to jump through all these hoops just to marry the woman she loved but refused to get married with just any ring she wanted the ring on Michiru’s hand to be her mother’s ring. More than anything she hated keeping it from Michiru she hated that she had to bring Michiru here where it was just a matter of time before her father insulted her.

“Haruka I’m not mad at you I just don’t like I when you keep things from me.” Michiru said as Haruka kissed at her neck.

“I know love I know but trust me it is better this way and I promise I will tell you when the time is right.” Haruka said picking her up and walking the rest of the way. “Come on let’s go to bed.”

Haruka laid Michiru down on the bed and began kissing at her neck and working her way down. “Haruka we can’t not at your parent’s house.”

“Ah why not it’s only fitting this used to be room.” Haruka said unlacing the front of Michiru’s night gown.

“Something tells me I’m not the first girl you’ve brought up here.” Michiru said pushing Haruka back and shooting her a pouting look.

“Honestly Michi you are. I never brought anyone up here.” Haruka said pushing her way back kissing Michiru not that she put up that much of a fight. “My father would never allow it.”

“Something tells me that never stopped you.” Michiru said. “I can’t imagine you any less of a menace then you are now.”

“Of course not I snuck out there is a latticework right outside the window I climbed down it quite a few times.” Haruka said sliding the night gown over Michiru’s head and glancing down at her nude body tracing circles on the bare skin. “Before he kicked me out that is.”
