High School Queen

Chapter 35: A king for a queen

"This year Winter Queen is... Michiru Kaioh!"

The silence transform into a loud gossip, suddenly just as Moses tore apart the red sea the crowd tore and there in the middle was Michiru standing, she looked absolutely beautiful dressed in a sky blue long satin dress, her hair pinned up with delicate snowflake shaped pins, her skin and face glittering with the light like snow on the sun, she looked like a real ice princess... "Ok so it's done..." Michiru took a deep breath, every eye on the room was on her, she lifted her head proud and walked slowly to the stage.

This was a performance... she was here displayed to the others, her hair pinned up royally, her hips swaying slightly creating the illusion of her dress floating; she was ready for this, it was now or never.

Mina tripped over her high heels when she heard Lara, she lost all color on her face looking shocked, she pushed an amazed Rika who stood even more surprised than her in an attempt to walk on stage and make some damage control.

"Sorry, you cannot go up" She found the way blocked by Setsuna, the taller girl smiled. "Once the queen arrives you may go up"

Michiru took her time to walk up the stairs; she stood up in front of the microphone smiling calmed. Never have she looked more like a real queen. Lara smiled back at her and gracefully placed a crystal crown on her head. Michiru touched the rhinestones with her delicate fingers and taking a long look at the audience she finally broke the silence. "Well... thank you for such a lovely introduction Mina, I'm proud to accept this crown...wow...second time in a row, this is a huge honor. Well what can I say? It's true, as everyone knows now I'm a lesbian..."

"NO!" Mina was flipping out; this seemed like some kind of surreal dream. She pushed Setsuna and climbed her way to reach Michiru. The aqua goddess turned around to look at her with a faked surprise face.

"Oh...what is it Mina? I'm I supposed to be the 'king'?" People in the room looked confused, the crowd was divided between those in complete shock and those who believed this was some kind of practical joke.

Mina looking incredibly furious marched to meet Michiru. She placed a hand on the microphone to keep the whole crowd from listening "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind Michiru? Is this some kind of sick twisted joke?"

"Ah...No... I'm a lesbian Mina...very, very lesbian, thank you for helping me come out in such a fashionable way, you're such a good friend"

Mina looked appalled, Michiru then evilly stood closer and held her into a tight hug. Minako backed up looking horrified and pissed off. She had taken her hand of the microphone, now everyone would hear them. "You dyke! Fine if this is true...then who's your fucking king ah?"

"Mina...manners honey, manners... see I do have a king..."

"Who?"

Lara came closer again holding a bright envelope, Michiru smiled sweetly pretending that the people down stage weren't gossiping and looking amused. "Would you make the honors please Lara?"

The pink headed girl nodded smiling. She looked around to the crowd; she spotted Rei and Haruka walking to the stage. "This year Winter...ehem...'king' is Miss Rika Yunuen..."

The look on Rika's face was priceless, if she hadn't had a wall behind her she'll have fall, she covered her red lips with horror. "Please Rika, walk up here..." Michiru looked at the red head, Rika shook her head, she could not even move. Lara then walk to the curtain behind them and unveil the picture hanging behind it, it was the picture the Michiru mentioned to Rika. A clear image of a much younger Michiru and Rika kissing each other... Michiru came closer to the microphone again."What is it babe? Come up here...if you wish you can be the queen, I don't mind..."

Rika had never felt so ashamed, she tripped on her way to the backstage to flee the place, she'll never come back, never...

Michiru looked at her ex escaping like the coward she had always been, she smiled, her plan worked better than she hoped, Mina was still standing there looking at the photo in complete shock. Lara walked to her. "Oh Mina its ok, don't feel jealous, you'll find true love too..." The blonde turned around raging; Lara in an impulse grabbed her by the waist and pressed her lips against Mina's...

Mina pushed her away and ran down stairs screaming... Michiru looked at the pink headed girl with an eyebrow lifted, Lara smiled like saying 'I couldn't help myself' then she turned and saluted her boyfriend Koichi who smiled back at her...

Michiru realized they were still in the spotlight so she turned around looking cool... "Oh well seems that my girl was a little too shy to get the crown but thanks anyway. Well as your Ball queen I declare this dance started!" Michiru made a sign to the band and suddenly there were music and the air seemed a bit clearer, Michiru sighed this night had been exhausting, she wished so bad to get out of this dress and sleep a thousand years...

Lara hugged her once they were down the stage, so did Setsuna

"It was great Michi, whatever happens now; you know we're here for you"

"Thanks guys..." Michiru looked at Rei standing in front of her with her eyes filled with tears.

"Rei..."

"Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why you never ask for help?"

"I love you too Rei" the black haired girl threw herself into Michiru's arms crying. "Oh don't be such a girl Rei..." Rei broke apart and looked at Michiru wiping her tears away.

"You shouldn't have..."

"What? I don't know what are you talking about"

"Thanks"

"Don't thank me...although if the whole school hates me after the Holiday break do you think I can sit down with you during lunch time?"

"Sure! We outcasts always stand together... but to tell you the truth Michi I believe many people here thinks this was some kind of joke I don't believe you'll have a lot of problems"

Michiru smiled and nodded. "Well I'm off to my house I'm exhausted besides I don't want the principal asking me a million stupid questions, she can wait till next year"

"Where are you spending Christmas Michi?"

"Mh...Home alone, I guess"

"Feel free to come to the shrine...we don't exactly celebrate Christmas but it's funnier than being alone"

"I'll keep it on mind, well girls see you later..."

-o-o-

The weather outside was cold, there was already snow on the ground, Michiru regretted not bringing a coat, her bare silky back was cold, she should hurry to the dorm, switch into more proper clothes and drive home before the weather got worse...

"You'll do just about anything to win a crown won't you?"

Michiru recognized the voice in the night, she turned around half smiling. "Well you know me, I'm obsessed with winning"

Haruka came closer; they were standing under the garden lamps, some loose snowflakes falling. "What you did was a very noble gesture, I was not afraid of Mina but thanks anyway."

"Oh...well I didn't do it for you Haruka or for Rei...I must admit though, I did it for a girl"

Haruka looked at the snowy beauty intrigued. "Really? A girl? ... oh... Is she pretty?"

Michiru smiled, she felt that fake cool tone. "Yes, very, she's tall and slim, very intelligent...a bit hysterical but I can live with it...I like her a lot"

Haruka tried her best to look cool but Michiru's words were breaking her heart. "Sounds like a dream...does this fabulous girl has a name?"

"Of course she does her name is Michiru Kaioh" Haruka looked at her confused, Michiru smiled brightly. "I did it for myself; it was time to come out, but you know me, I had to make it in a fabulous and unique way..."

Haruka came closer to her; the proximity was painful to Michiru. "So this means... are you seeing some one Michiru?" Michiru looked into the green eyes and shook her head.

"Then...well...maybe..."Michiru shivered."Oh ... are you cold?"

"Just on the inside... Haruka I miss you" The blonde look into the deep sea eyes feeling a growing warm. None of them move, Michiru felt an urge to cry. "Well... I got to go" The smaller girl turned around defeated, she felt a cold tear running down her face.

She had walked a few steps when she felt Haruka grabbing her by the arms and making her turn; before she could speak the blonde had pressed her lips against hers fiercely.

"I love you" Haruka whispered on her ear, Michiru smile.

"I love you more"

"Let's not fight again"

Michiru looked at Haruka smiling sweetly. "Why don't we start with promises we can keep?"

"Oh you're impossible!"

"I love you too... and give me your coat don't you see I'm freezing?" Haruka smiled and brought her into a tight hug.

"Hey where are you spending the holidays Michi?"

"Well at your place isn't it obvious?" Haruka smiled again, she felt so happy, she brought her girl into another kiss, knowing deep inside she had found her soul mate, her home.
