The Tenoh's

Chapter Seven

Author's Note: Nagashima Spaland in Japan doesn't really have that good of rides so I thought I'd use the rides from Cedar Point and Canada's Wonderland.

--------------------------------

The train pulled into the station a few hours later and most of the passengers got off. A group of ten people stood off to the side not wanting to get in the way of the passengers going on and coming off the train.

“Are we ready to get going?” Jasutin stood in front of his bridal party, everyone nodded there heads. “Let's go!” the blondish red hair man yelled and then took hold of his fiancée's hand and led the way, the eight of them followed suit.

Haruka and Michiru walked side by side behind the group, “When was the last time you were here?” Michiru held onto the blonde's arm. “I think I was seventeen,” the blonde looked to the woman on her arm.

The group made there way to the entrance of the amusement park, everyone got out there tickets that Hirari gave them earlier and gave them to the gate keeper and then entered the park.

“Alright…what do you want to do first?” Jasutin looked to all the different rides, he was so exited; he couldn't wait to ride the tallest rollercoaster. “I think we should look around first,” Hirari suggested. Jasutin looked to his love with a pout, “Fine.” Hirari smiled at him, “Come on sweetie…you'll get a chance to ride the rides,” she came over to him and placed her hands on top of his and kissed him on the lips.

“I didn't know Jasutin had turned into such a baby…” Haruka shook her head at her pouting cousin but couldn't help but smile at there affection for each other.

“Hey…I'm not a baby…” he even pouted more.

“Sure looks that way.” Haruka was more then happy to make fun of her cousin. “Haruka?” Michiru whispered to her, “You shouldn't talk.” The blonde looked at her confused, “You do the same thing.”

“I do not…” the blonde's bottom lip stuck out just like her cousin's a few seconds ago, “See…you're doing it right now.” Michiru couldn't help but smile at her blonde lover who acted childish once and awhile.

“I think we should go on that ride,” Roba-to stood in front of a very tall roller coaster, it was so tall you had to really look up, it almost looked like it was in the clouds. “I think you're right Roba-to,” Jasutin, Adamu and Haruka all had big grins on there faces. “You guys are nuts,” Kyari and Rosheru said in unison.

“Yes we are,” Jasutin smiled at the two women, “Alright…all in favour of riding this ride come with me,” Jasutin walked off to were the end of line was, Haruka, Adamu, Roba-to followed him. The rest of the group walked over to a near by bench and waited there for the four to finish there ride.

Michiru stood beside Hirari and stared at the large ride, she couldn't believe that the blonde would want to go on it, she knew she liked the speed but dropping over three hundred feet sounded crazy to her.

“I don't know how that would be fun,” Hirari watched her fiancé move closer and closer to the front of the line, “Beats me,” Michiru agreed fully with her. “But I guess whatever makes him happy I can't do nothing about,” Hirari crossed her arms over her chest.

-------------------------------

“I hope we get the front seat,” Jasutin stood on his tippy toes so he could see over all the other people in line, “I hear it's the best seat.”

“I don't know about that…” Adamu stood behind the three other guys; he couldn't see the front of the line being that he was shorter then the other three, “I think the middle is best.” The three of them looked to the green haired man and shook there heads, “What?”

“You're just a wuss,” Roba-to smiled at his friend. “Yeah yeah…the line is moving,” they all moved forward a few places. “Are you going to sit in the front with the rest of us?” Jasutin looked to the shorter man; “Yes I will…just to prove you wrong,” Adamu pointed his finger at him.

The four of them were the next ones to get on the ride, just like Haruka and Jasutin liked they got the front seat and Roba-to and Adamu got the seat behind them, “I can't wait!” Jasutin shouted at no one in particular, the blonde beside him had a grin on her face, she hadn't ridden this ride in such a long time; she was stoked.

-------------------------------

“So what ride do we want to go on next after the guys come back?” Hirari looked to the different rides that lined the walkway. “Something not to high…” A shiny sliver windy ride caught the eye of Anjera, “How about that one,” she pointed to a roller coaster called Top Gun; they all turned and looked to were she was pointing.

“That looks fun…” Hirari spoke up, “I say we ride that one.”

“I agree…” a squeaky voice spoke up startling them; they all turned around. Standing there with their hair all sticking up everywhere was Jasutin, Rob-to, Adamu and Haruka; they all had huge smiles on there faces. “Well…did you have fun?” Hirari came over to Jasutin; he nodded his head. “Yup,” his voice squeaked. Hirari raised her one eyebrow, “What happened to your voice?” Jasutin smiled and said nothing.

“I didn't know Jasutin could scream like a girl…” Haruka laughed at her cousin who looked like he would kill her for saying that. “You should talk…” he squeaked.

“Well I have a right…I am a girl,” she grinned at him who shook his head.

“Oh shut up,” Jasutin took hold of Hirari's hand and walked toward the ride that she picked to ride next. Everyone followed them except Haruka and Michiru, “How was the ride?” she stood next to the blonde and wrapped her arm around hers, “It was great.”

“Come on you two!” Jasutin yelled at them from a far; the two slowly made there way to the group who now stood in line for the next ride.

“Are you going to ride with us?” Haruka looked over to the woman on her arm; Michiru looked up at the huge ride and swallowed hard, “Umm…”

“You don't have to ride it if you don't want to Michiru,” Kyari was a little nervous as well but she still was going to ride it just to say she did later on down the road. Michiru looked to her and at everyone else who stood in line, she took a deep breath, “I'm going to ride it.” From that moment on Michiru had butterflies fluttering in her stomach. “Are you sure you want too?” Haruka whispered to her, “I thought you didn't like roller coasters?” Michiru looked up at the coaster again, “I don't.” Haruka looked confused, “Then why would…” Michiru looked to her stopping her in mid sentence. “To say I have rid a roller coaster,” she looked back to the coaster, `And I don't want to be the only one not to ride it.'

The line moved pretty fast, to fast if you ask Michiru. Before she and everyone else knew it there turn was next, Jasutin and Hirari took the front seat and the rest of the group all paired off leaving Haruka and Michiru near the back of the ride which Michiru didn't mind one bit. “Are you ready?” Haruka sat in the seat next to Michiru who didn't look to good. “Not really…” she gripped the handles on the harness that was around her shoulders and stomach.

The ride started to move a little at first; Michiru grip tightened and her knuckles were white, `Why did I agree to do this?' The ride speed up to 90 km/hr, everyone with long hair blew in the wind, Michiru closed her eyes tightly as the ride did 90-degree vertical climbs, barrel rolls and inverted wing loopovers.

“Michiru?” Haruka's voice echoed in her ears, “The ride is over sweetheart.” Michiru opened her eyes and the blonde was right the awful ride was finally over; she loosened her grip on the handles as the ride pulled into the platform.

“That was awesome…we have to ride that again before we leave,” Kyari and Rosheru said in unison. Everyone was stoked out about the ride except one person and that person held onto Haruka's arm to steady herself. Michiru swore to herself that she'd never go on a roller coater ever again.

“What ride should we go on next?” Out of the ten people in the group only two vowed to never go on a roller coaster again, Michiru and Anjera. “Are you going to survive?” Haruka could see the discomfort her friend was in; she got a nod as the only response. “Do you want to sit down for awhile?” again she nodded her head. “Hey Jasutin…we'll catch up to you guys later okay?” Her cousin looked to the woman on his cousin's arm and understood completely. “Alright… we'll meet up at the food court around one or so.”

They found an empty bench that sat in the shade and away from almost everyone; they sat down, Michiru rested her head on Haruka's shoulder and closed her eyes, her stomach didn't feel that good. Haruka wrapped her arm around her shoulder and kissed her lightly on the head, it felt good to sit like this again just the two of them.

Screams and laughter rang through the park almost hypnotizing the two making the one very tired all of a sudden, “I think I could fall asleep sitting here,” Michiru opened her eyes and looked up slightly. The blonde smiled at her lovingly, “Well then…I guess we should get up and walk around a bit before you do fall asleep.” She removed her arm from around the girls shoulder and stood, she offered her hand which Michiru took. The two walked hand in hand through the crowds of people slowly making there way to the food court where they meet the rest of the group. “I suppose you don't want anything to eat…” the blonde looked to the girl's beautiful face that still look kind of pale from the ride, “No thanks.”

“Do you want a drink?” There had to be something she wanted and Haruka was determined to find out what it was. “No I'm fine…”

“There's got to be something you want sweetheart,” she tightened her grip on her hand, “Well there is something…” a mischievous look came over Michiru's face followed by a grin, “I want you…” she placed her arm around the blondes waist and brought her closer than before. The blonde smiled at the gesture and put her arm around her shoulder, “I'm glad to see you still like me.” Michiru looked puzzled, “Why wouldn't I like you?”

Haruka wasn't sure why she said that but felt that she had to say it, she looked down at Michiru soft hand around her waist and smiled. She got this warm feeling inside her, the kind when you know that someone loves you so much.

“Haruka??” Michiru looked into her eyes and instantly saw what she meant by her comment.

------------------------------------

“I told you not to go on that ride,” a woman with long brown hair walked into the food court with a black haired person hanging on to her shoulders. “I know…you told me that already…more than once.”

“We should find a seat…” the brunette looked around the busy food court; sitting across the room were to familiar faces; they made there way over to the bench seat. The brunette smiled at the two who looked like they almost sat on one another they were so close.

“Hello,” she hoped the two would recognize them; the blonde looked up at her and smiled, “Hello Anjera…Anji.”

“Do you mind if we sit with you?” Anjera looked to the empty seat beside them, “Make yourselves comfortable.”

“Thanks…” they sat down next to them, “Anji doesn't feel all that great…she went on a ride she shouldn't have.” Anjera couldn't help but giggle at her friend; Anji looked to the giggling girl beside her and shook her head at her.

“What ride was it?” Haruka looked to her.

“Calypso…” Anji was kind of embarrassed, all the ride did was spin, its not like it went up two hundred feet then dropped. “I'm not that keen on spinning I guess,” she scratched her chin out of embarrassment.

The four of them talked for awhile while they waited for the rest of the group to join them which wasn't for another half and hour.

--------------------------------------

The rest of the day went by rather fast for everyone; they stayed until the park closed which was midnight. All of them were exhausted as they slowly made there way to the train, “that was so much fun...I want to do that again someday with all you guys.” Jasutin was wide awake and hyper; he walked in front of the group.

“Slow down honey…” Hirari walked behind him, she was tired and her feet hurt from all the walking they did. Jasutin stopped in his tracks and waited for his fiancée to catch up, he wrapped his arm around her waist and continued on there way to the train station.

--------------------------------------

Haruka and Michiru sat together with Jasutin and Hirari sitting in the opposite seats facing them. Haruka and Jasutin were still awake but the other two were drifting off into nappy land.

“She really must like you…” Michiru had her head rested on the blonde's shoulder and looked completely relaxed, Jasutin smiled.

“I think she does…” a happy smiled formed on the blonde's face.

“You never did tell me how you two became such good friends…you told me how you met…” Jasutin was silenced by the look on his cousin's face.

“After I fixed her car the first time…I didn't see her again for a couple of months…”

--- Flashback ---

In the garage at the race track the only thing heard was the clanging of tools being placed in someone's blue tool box. Outside the closed doors the wind howled against the building; winter had officially arrived two days ago. Racing season was over for now but the mechanics still worked on the cars keeping them in the top condition for the spring. The only mechanic in the garage shut the lid to their tool box and locked it then made there way over to the lockers. There locker was the last one by the wall, they got out there key and unlocked it; inside was there winter coat and boots. They changed out of there coveralls and shoes and put there winter boots on and coat then shut and locked there locker.

They opened the side door to the garage and a gust of wind blew in there face, they reached into the coat pocket and got out a winter hat and pulled it over there blonde hair. The blonde made her way over to her car and climbed in; she put her key in the ignition and started the cold beast. After ten minutes of letting the car warm up she put it in drive and drove off toward her apartment. Fortunately the weather hadn't brought any snow but it is in the five day forecast for this week. The blonde made her way past the odd slow car and was half way home when she had to slow down to an almost stop, `What the heck..' She tried to look up ahead of the cars to see what the problem was but couldn't see past the transport truck. She was stopped for a good five minutes until the traffic started to crawl forward, the transport truck turned down one of the side streets making the blonde's view clear, now she could she what the hold up was. A few feet ahead was a car blocking the one lane, it looked like it stalled on the owner, the blonde's car got closer to the stalled car and something caught her eye…the colour aqua. She drove around the stalled car, standing by the passengers side was a very familiar looking woman. The blonde smiled as she drove past the car and over to the side of the road and parked her car.

The blonde walked over the broken car and the frustrated woman, “I see someone is having difficulties with her car…again,” two surprised eyes looked into her green ones.

“Haruka…”

“Looks like you could use some help,” the woman nodded her head. “Alright…let's move your car so it doesn't block traffic.”

“How are we going to do that?”

“Get in and I'll push you,” Haruka went to the back of the car, “Put it in neutral,” she yelled. The aqua haired woman did as she was told, her car started to move, she looked into her rear view mirror, to her astonishment Haruka was pushing her car. A few minutes later Michiru's car was at the side of the road; a relieved sigh escaped her lips as she opened the driver's side door. Haruka now stood at the hood of the car, “thanks so much Haruka…I didn't know what to do…” Michiru stood next to the blonde. “You're welcome…so what's the matter with your lovely car?” the blonde smiled as Michiru rolled her eyes. “I don't know…it just stopped working,” she looked to her not so reliable car.

The wind blew against the two forms, the hood was up and the blonde had her head stuck under the hood. Michiru shivered and wrapped her arms around herself, “It's ever cold out.” The blonde looked over to the trembling girl, “You can go sit in my truck if you want,” she pointed toward her vehicle parked a little ways away from them.

“What about you?” the wind blew again.

“I won't be long…I don't think there is anything I can do here,” Haruka looked back to the engine and scratched her head. Michiru nodded her head then made her way over to Haruka's truck which was unlocked much to her surprise. She opened the passenger's side door and got in, it wasn't that much warmer but at least she was out of the cold wind.

The truck was pointed the opposite way of her car so she couldn't see the blonde, the wind howled against the truck making goose bumps to appear on Michiru's arms and legs. She turned her body so she could look out the back window, the hood on her car was closed and the blonde was walking toward the truck. Haruka opened the driver's side door and got in, “I locked your car…I'll have to come back later with a rope so I can tow it back to the garage.” She looked to the woman beside her who looked worry, “I'm sure I'll find out what the matter is with it,” she smiled trying to reinsure her.

“Okay…” Michiru looked to her hands that led in her lap. “Thank you…I didn't know what to…if you hadn't showed up I would be still in the middle of the road.”

“No problem…now let's go get something hot to drink…I'm freezing.” Haruka started the engine then drove off, “Do you have someplace to be or are you free?”

“I just got off of work actually.”

“Well it's a good thing your car broke down after work instead of before…” Haruka slowed her truck down as they came closer to a stop sign. “I suppose…” Michiru didn't think so; she'd rather have not had her car break down all together.

“You don't mind helping me too tow your car back to the garage…do you?”

“I guess…” she played with her coat zipper.

“I have to go home and get a rope…you don't mind coming with me?” Michiru shook her head; her stomach was doing flip flops. She'd spent time with the blonde before and enjoyed herself but some reason this situation felt different to her.

The blonde pulled her truck into a parking lot of a rather huge building and parked in spot number 705. “You can either stay here or you can come with me,” she could just imagine what was going through her mind.

Michiru looked around the empty parking lot, it looked dark and scary; “I think I'll go with you,” she unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the truck. They made there way to the elevator and entered, Haruka pushed the button for the 7th floor. The ride to the 7th floor was in silence, the elevator dinged and the doors opened. Haruka stepped out first followed by Michiru, `Wow…what a nice place.' The hallway was carpeted with a bluish purple coloured carpet, beautiful pictures hung on the walls with tables underneath them with vases of flowers in the middle.

Haruka stopped at a door with the number 705 on it; she unlocked the door and opened the door, “Welcome to my place,” she went into the apartment while Michiru stood in the doorway; she wasn't sure if she should go in or not.

“You know you can come in…if you want,” Haruka stood by the night stand. Michiru took a deep breath and stepped inside, the hallway was pretty dark just like the rest of the apartment. The blonde disappeared into the darkness; a light was switched on in the living room illuminating the rest of the apartment. Michiru stepped a little further down the hallway; at the end of the hallway was the living room that looked very comfortable. There was a big comfy looking couch sitting in front of a rather large television and beside that was a chair that looked just as comfortable as the couch.

Haruka came out from one of the rooms with a very thick rope in her hands, “Found it,” the blonde pointed to the rope in her hand while she walked over to her.

“You have a very nice place,” Michiru looked around, on the walls were pictures of different people, probably family. “Thanks…not bad for two bachelors,” she walked over to the door and put her boots back on. Michiru stood a few feet away and waited for the blonde, “Who's your roommate?”

“Her name is Makoto Kino…” she stood from tying her laces, “She is a nice girl who is a very good chef…she always cooks me dinner.” The blonde couldn't help but smile, the last thing Makoto made for her was…well to tell the truth she wasn't quite sure what it was called but she knew it had some sort of meat in it and it tasted as good as it looked.

“You're fortunate…I like to cook to a certain degree,” she remembered the last thing she cooked…it was a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup.

“Yeah I am,” Haruka opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, Michiru followed her. She locked the door and made there way to the elevator doors and Michiru pushed the button.

-------------------------------------------

The sun started to set over Japan, the lights flickered on illuminating the streets. On the side of a street was a parked a truck with a car parked behind it; two forms sat in the truck both holding a cup of steaming hot liquid.

“Thanks for the tea Haruka…its very good,” Michiru sipped her tea. Haruka smiled, “You finish your drink while I tie the rope to your car and mine,” she opened the driver's side door and got out into the chilly nights air. She made her way over to Michiru's car and knelt down on the ground in front of it, `I should have brought my flashlight.' She strained her eyes trying to see in the dark but still couldn't quite see.

Michiru sat in the truck and held her now empty cup; she didn't know what she should do to help the blonde, she was nervous enough about helping her tow her car. She looked down to the floor and something caught her eye, it was a black skinny tube of some kind. She bent slightly to grab the object; she wouldn't have noticed it if the street light just didn't happen to be right over the truck.

-----------------------------------------

Haruka went on her hands and knees trying to see if she could feel the body frame and a place to put the rope. A light brought her attention to the wheel where it shined; she turned her head and spot a pair of feet by her legs. Haruka looked up her eyes widen, “Michiru?”

“It looked like you could use this,” she handed the small flashlight to her.

“Thanks…where'd you find this?” Haruka could have sworn she didn't have a flashlight in her truck.

“Under the seat.”

“Oh…” she leaned back so she sat on her legs, “Well since you're out here could you give me a hand?” Michiru nodded her head, “Great…could you hold the flashlight for me?” she handed it to her.

After a few minutes Haruka finally found a spot where she could tie the rope and it won't break anything. She stood from her knelt position then took the rope in her hands and walked over to her truck with Michiru following her with the flashlight. She had no problem finding a place for the rope on her truck; she'd had used her truck before to tow someone's broken down vehicle.

“Okay Michiru…can you get in your car and put it in neutral,” she got into her car and did what the blonde told her to do. Haruka got into her truck and started the engine, she looked into the rear view mirror; she couldn't quite see Michiru so she got out and walked back to her car.

Michiru watched as the blonde got out of her truck and walked over the car, she rolled down her window. “Are you ready?” She nodded her head, “I'll drive slow okay.” She smiled then walked back to her truck got in and put it in drive. She let off the brake and the truck moved ahead a little but stopped as the rope got tight, she hit the gas a little and made Michiru's car move.

An hour later and the two vehicles pulled into the race track parking lot. The truck pulled up to the garage and stopped, Haruka got out and walked back to the back of her truck and untied the rope then went over to the car's driver side door. “I'll be right back,” Haruka left Michiru in her car and went into the building, a few minutes later the garage door opened.

--- End Flashback ---

“You fixed her car again…you really must like to work,” Jasutin shook his head at her, “She's really lucky to have a friend like you.” Haruka looked to Michiru who rested her head against her shoulder. “I think it's the other way around…I'm lucky to have her,” she gently took hold of her hand, “I'd be lost without her.” A slight smile came to Michiru's face, her eyes were closed she was almost asleep.

“I think someone heard you,” Jasutin pointed to the woman leaning against his cousin, Haruka moved her head so she could see the smile on her face, “She already knows anyways.” Jasutin watched his cousin the rest of the ride home, the way she tried not to move too much so she won't wake the beauty sleeping on her shoulder. His cousin definitely had changed since the last time he saw her, she's more mature.

The train finally pulled into there stop, out of the whole group only Jasutin was awake; he looked around at his friends. Haruka rested her head against the back of the seat while Michiru still had her head against her shoulder; Hirari rested her head against the window just like Kyari and Rosheru. Anji rested her head against the seat just like Haruka but had her hand wrapped around Anjera's shoulder, Roba-to and Adamu rested there heads against there hands.

Jasutin lightly shook his fiancée, “We're home sweetheart,” Hirari opened her tired eyes; he then woke the rest of his crew up. They all made there way slowly to Jasutin's van and climbed in, Jasutin drove everyone back to there home's in silence. The last stop was the Tenoh's house; Haruka opened the sliding door and got out then helped a very tired Michiru out. “Thanks for the awesome day you two,” Haruka bid her farewells then they made there way to the house.

“I'm tired…” Michiru yawned as they entered the house, “I don't know why you'd be tired for…it's only three in the morning.” Michiru looked to the blonde, she would have smacked her on the arm for such a smart comment but she was too tired. “I'm going to bed,” she took her shoes off walked past the blonde and went upstairs; Haruka soon followed suit after she double check to see if she locked the door.

The blonde walked into her old bedroom, lying on the bed was Michiru who still wore her clothes from the park. She lied on her stomach, Haruka couldn't help but smile, she walked over to the bed and poked her in the side.

“Michi?”

“Hmm…”

“Aren't you going to change into your pajamas?” Michiru lifted her head and looked to the blonde then put her head back on the pillow, “I'm too tired.”

Haruka walked over to her suitcase and got out her pajamas and changed into them; she walked back to the bed and over to her cot. She sat down on it and was just about to lay down when she heard a ripping sound. Before she had a chance to stand the material ripped and now her butt was on the ground with her legs hanging over the frame of the cot. “Stupid…” she mumbled as she tried to get up which was quite difficult.

“What are you doing?” Michiru looked down from the bed; Haruka looked up at her and smiled, “Nothing…”

“Well you're making a lot of noise doing nothing.” Michiru rested her head on her hand, “You look kind of stuck.”

“Just a little,” Haruka moved her arms so she'd be able to lift herself; with some difficulty she managed to get up, “Well so much for that cot.” She folded it up and placed it by the door so she'd remember to put it in the garbage later.

“Where are you going to sleep now?”

“On the floor I guess.”

“Why not sleep next to me?” Haruka hesitated for a mere second before she came over to the bed and sat down, “there not much room,” she lied next to the woman.

“I don't mind…” Michiru missed sleeping next to the blonde. Haruka draped her arm over Michiru's stomach which Michiru took hold of her hand and rested it closer to her chest, “Good night sweetheart,” the blonde whispered to her.

“Night.”
