Boston Marriage

By auraluna7

Chapter 1: The debutant

Michiru looked at herself in the mirror, she found herself flawless, her long aqua colored hair fel down her back into a perfect curl cascade, the pearls in her hair shine in the candle light, the blue Worth dress make her look like a fairy tale princess it was electric blue colored with a lot of white petticoats, on the hem it had emboridered some white dolphins with pearls appliqués.

She slide her hands through the tight corsét and smooth the fabric, everything was a she had dreamed. Her social debut would be a success.

“How do I look?” Mizu looked at her smiling, she was Michiru’s lady-in-waiting, she had been serving her family for 20 years.

“It’s not polite to ask for a compliment, that’s vanity Michiru”

“Oh come on say it...it’s my birthday”

The woman smiled at her, she couldn’t believe 16 years had gone so fast. “You look like a dream”

“I feel like I’m in one...”

“Oh Miss, Mr. Seiya is going to die when he sees you!”

Michiru rolled her eyes. “And why would I care about him?”

“Miss you know he’s your suitor”

“ Bah, he wants to marry me but I don’t. So he’s not my suitor...”

“Your parents would like what’s best for you”

“Yeah they do ...and Seiya wants a baby factory not a wife, the other day her said to me he wanted a dozen of kids...ha, good luck on that one!” Michiru aplied a bit of rouge to her chicks, the mode was now a natural look for young girls like her but today was her birthday...

“Miss no rouge!”

Michiru smiled to herself in the mirror of her long lace covered vanity. She not only looked like a princess she lived like one. “Have my parents arrived yet?”

“No Miss” Michiru sighed, why her parents had to travel when her debut was so close? At least her mother should have stayed, she looked at the clock on the mantel it was almost eight o’clock, the guests downstairs must have arrived yet.

“I’m coming down at eight o’clock exactly if they’re are not here is their problem I’m not leaving the guests waiting”

Knock, knock

“Come in” The double doors of Michiru’s suite got opened, her godfather was standing outside dressed in a black Tux, Michiru had never been fond of him, he found him rude and she hated that smell of licor he had on himself almost everytime, however he was close to her family and Michiru accepted him... “Hi Yazuko, have my parents arrived yet?”

The man came inside, Michiru frowned, she hated the liberty he always take in her presence. “No...you look very pretty Michi.”

“Thanks” Michiru instinctively covered her bosom, she felt selfconcious, the man’s black eyes seemed to be undressing her. “Why don’t you wait downstairs? I’ll be down in just a minute...”

The man smiled at her, the he pulled out of his jacket a small velvet box. “First open your present...you didn’t think I forgot, did you? Happy birthday”

Michiru hesitate but finally took the case, she opened it to reveal a very beautiful pearl necklace. “Thanks ...it’s very beautiful”

“Let me help you with that” He leaned on Michiru’s back and grabbed the delicate jewel after taking a good look to the aqua godess cleavage. He slowly placed the necklace on her soft and creamy neck, Michiru shiver when she felt the man’s thumb caressing the base of her neck.

“Let me help you Mister” Mizu came to her rescue, apparently Yazuko was to focussed on Michiru’s beauty to notice that she was still there. The man nodded and step out looking dissapointed.

“I’ll see you downstairs Michiru”

She nodded and as soon as he stepped out she sighed in relief. “That scumbag...I cannot figure out how he’s friends with your parents”

“Let it go Mizu, nothing can ruin my birthday party...specially not him”

Ten minutes later Michiru came downstairs looking radiant, all the socialité was here to see her. Michiru was a spring rose blooming, now that she was sixteen she was ready to find a suitor. Although the last thing Michiru had in mind was marriage, she found the perspective of attending every ball and social event thrilling, she had always been a social animal, she found some of their rules demodé but she knew their way around perfectly.

Everyone salute her with joy, the candle lighted ballroom shine with grandness.

“Happy Birthday Michiru” Michiru smiled to the man talking to her, his long black hair tied on the back with a black ribbon, his black tux impecable.

“Thanks Seiya”

“Imagine, if you look so good now how are you’re going to look on your wedding dress once we get married.” Michiru smiled politely at him.

“What a lovely sense of humor Seiya dear don’t loose it, and soon you’ll find a bride to your mesure.”

Seiya smiled he was certain that one way or another he’ll end up marrying Michiru. “Shall we dance?” The beauty nodded, He grabbed her softly by the waist and they dance in the soft and delightful music...

Michiru looked at the big clock on the entrance wall it marked almost midnight . “Why are they so damn late? Now I’ll have to cut the cake without them...”

Her godfather came closer, Michiru frowned again. “What is it?”Suddenly it seemed that a big new run through the room, Michiru recognize a fresh gossip when she saw one. “What is it this time?...maybe Mina fainted again on one of her suitors arms...that tramp...”

The man looked at her seriously, Michiru snapped out of her daydream. “Michiru...I’m so sorry”

“What? Why?” She felt a cold shiver running from her spine to the base of her neck.

“Michiru...your parents...they...”

Michiru suddenly felt she had runned out of air, the corsét had to be to tight, that’s why she was feeling so bad, and what was all this water running down her face...what? What had he said? Michiru couldn’t say anymore a minute later all she could see was a sudden darkness as she fainted in the middle of the room...
