Home Coming

It was a long drive after having Usagi that close to me, I almost didn't want to go home. I knew Michiru would be worried if I didn't so I got it together and now here I was in my drive way putting my game face on. I exited the car after a few seconds and went into the house, it was quiet but I knew Michiru was already up. I walked into the kitchen and there she was, looking beautiful in her silk robe that matched her eyes so well. She smiled at me gesturing with her hand that I should sit down.

"Are you hungry?" she asked while putting on a pot of tea. I knew she wasn't going to ask me where I was, she knew me too well. In her words 'you're like the wind, but I know you'll always come back my way.' She put my cup on the counter in from of me and continued to move around the kitchen. I never answered her question and in a way I didn't need to, she knew what I liked. I was so lucky to have her in my life and I found myself wondering why she wasn't enough?

"So what do you have planned for today?" she asked while putting a plate of eggs, bacon and toast on the counter for me.

"Well I was just going to work on my car; you know I have that race coming up next week." I said with the eggs partly down my throat.

She just nodded her head and began to eat her own food. Michiru had always had a untouchable grace about her, it was one of the things I loved about her but it also drove me insane. She would always make her feelings unreadable where as she read me like a open book. Even now as we sit here together in a way I feel so alone, so out of touch with her. There are times when we are so in sync but for a while now I feel as if I have been drifting alone, and she is the sea; keeper of our destination.

After we finished out food I went upstairs to take a long shower hoping it would rid me of all the thoughts I had running through my mind. I got in and let the water wash over me and I felt the tension fall off my shoulders. Yes this is what I needed. After a good ten minutes I got out and walked into the bed room to see Michiru was already dressed and heading out.

"Where you off to?" I asked as she put on her heels.

"I'm going to run some errands, get Hotaru and then we are having dinner with Setsuna at Houston's." She smiled at me. Thank God for Setsuna if it weren't for her I don't know how Michiru would make it with just me. I nodded my head in agreement, how didn't she know I would be gone all night.

"Ok well make sure you lock up when you leave," she came over and kissed me before saying, "love you." Then she was out the door and I listened waiting to heart the door lock.

"Click."

After I put on my clothes I went over to my night stand and pulled out my cell phone dialing her number almost subconsciously.

"Koneko."
