Chapter 4: The Engagements
I stared down at Seiya’s unconscious body lying on the floor. I sure showed that bastard. He’ll never ask questions like that again. Never show up unannounced again if I’m lucky. Everyone else stares at him and me in shock. My mother gives me one of those looks mothers give you when they’re pissed at you.
“Haruka Tenoh!” She scolds, “What have I told you about knocking people out?” I felt like a three year old again for the second time in two days.
“You never told me anything about knocking people out.” I told her, “Why? Is there a faster way?” I smirked as I said that. Mom just gives me another one of those looks, one that says, ‘Don’t be smart with me.’ I smiled in triumph. Well my mom does get back at me by making me help Mamoru move Seiya onto the couch.
“So, “my mom said, “do you like him?”
“Like who?”
“Seiya.” I just about choked when I heard that. How the hell could I ever like a bastard like that? After all he did, he’d be lucky just to get me to baby sit his dog.
“No way!” I told her, “I didn’t like him from the moment I found him in Michiru’s dressing room.” It was after I said this that I realized my mistake. Mom would defiantly take this the wrong way.
“So then you like him, Michiru-san!” My mom turns to Michiru with a gleam in her eye. The kind of gleams mom’s get when they find out their daughter has a boyfriend. Michiru slowly backed away from my mom. I could just see the sweat drops on the back of her head. Sure, she did have respect for him and the Star Lights after they protected our princess for us, but she didn’t like him that way. I’m the only one she likes that way. She’s saved by a sudden moan from Seiya as he regains consciousness.
“Ow, what was that about?” He muttered. My mom turns to face him.
“So Seiya-san,” She says excitedly, “I hear you like Michiru-san!” Seiya looks confused.
“What? Me like Michiru-san? Why?” My mom looks at him in horror.
“How can a man like you not like such a beautiful girl as Michiru-san?” She wondered, “Unless, your gay!” She whips a sword out of nowhere and swings in around wildly. Seiya screams and runs around frantically. Me and Michiru coward behind the couch, afraid she’d find out about us and make us commit seppuku. “Death to all gays!!” She screamed. Now I was really scared. So was Michiru. She looked about ready to wet herself, and she’s never looked like that.
“I’M NOT GAY!!” Seiya screamed out. This stopped my mom.
“You’re not?” Seiya nods and my mother looks relieved. “Oh thank God! I’m so glad I don’t have to kill you. If you were gay I would have though. They don’t deserve to live!” Seiya looks confused.
“Then how come those two are…” He doesn’t get farther then that since both me and Michiru cover his mouth.
“Can we speak to him and the Three Lights in the other room?” I asked my mom. She nods and Seiya is dragged into the other room. Taiki and Yaten follow.
“So, what’s all that about?” Taiki asked when we reached privacy. This was going to be interesting.
“My mom and dad showed up here the other day,” I explained, “They had a contract I supposedly signed when I was one that I’d commit seppuku if I didn’t have a boyfriend when I was 18. It also said if I had a girlfriend instead, my girlfriend would have to commit seppuku with me. So now Mamoru-san’s posing as my boyfriend after Odango suggested it.” All three look confused at this line. “She says since I’m a lesbian I won’t run off with him.” They look relieved. “So my parents accepted Mamoru-san as my boyfriend. They expected us to make ‘noises’ last night so I put in a “Erotic Bedroom Noises” CD. It fooled them.” I decided to leave the names from the CD out. “So that’s pretty much where we are.” They looked rather shocked when I finish.
“I can’t believe your parents!” Yaten said. “Who would kill their own child over something so stupid.”
“You should report them.” Taiki said.
“Ya, even you deserve better then them.” Seiya told me. Hum, maybe the bastard does have a heart, but I still don’t like him.
“They’re my parents.” I tell them. “I can’t do that to them. Just as long as they don’t find out the truth, we’re fine. Besides it’s only a few days.” With that we all walk back into the other room with my parents, Setsuna, and Mamoru. Hotaru decided to visit her real father this week, which is a good thing since it’d only complicate things more. My mom turns to Michiru.
“So Michiru,” She asked, “do you have a boyfriend?” Michiru looked a bit shocked, but shock her head no. My mom smiles at this. “Well I just had a brilliant idea!” Why did I not like the sounds of this? It may be because none of her brilliant ideas have been good. I remember this one brilliant idea she had that instead of buying me a bike helmet, she donated the money to charity instead. It wasn’t so good when I got into an accident and nearly died. I think my senshi powers were the only thing that kept me alive. So that’s why I always wear a helmet on my motorcycle. Anyways, back to my mom’s ‘brilliant’ idea.
“I was thinking that my little Haruka should get engaged to Mamoru-san and Michiru-san should get engaged to Seiya-san! We can have a joint wedding next week!” I knew this was going to be bad.
