Prelude to Destiny
"I won't let her kill you!" Neptune yelled as she crossed the bridge inside the Marine Cathedral, the trap was immediately activated and darts shot Neptune dozens of times 'I can't give up…' Neptune encouraged herself and dragged her bloody dying body though the bridge. Hopefully the trap ran out of ammo, Neptune blinked, her sight was getting blurry and she felt tired so tired, the pain was horrible all her body ached, it was slashed by the vine and then by the darts, she knew she will die, there was no escape this time. With a last breath she tried to say those known words "Deep Submerge" but before she could finish she was shot by Eudial. She never thought that someone could feel more pain in her condition, but she was wrong, she was terribly wrong, it felt as someone ripped your still beating heart and burned all your body…all excruciatingly slowly, in that moment darkness began to claim her 'I can't fight anymore…' she gave a last look at Uranus that was also injured, she gave a small bittersweet smile 'Goodbye…Haruka' then her lifeless body fell to the floor.
"Michiru…." Uranus whispered, with tears in her eyes, shocked and heartbroken, everything came running to her how they have met, how Neptune saved her over and over, and today's talk.....
'This hands….are already dirty…today we will find a talisman...I know it…and that means that we are going to murder that person…yes, murder I know it too…it's part of our mission, but I never have thought about it so deeply, someone will have to die to day and we…we are just going to watch how that person dies, how it convulses with pain and how its body becomes pale and we are gonna let it happen, in front of our eyes, not doing a single thing…not moving a muscle…just waiting to steal that heart, we are gonna be part of a cold murder…but…it's for the world's sake…' staring at her hands 'who are you trying to fool? You think is wrong… it's for the greater good…maybe if I repeat myself that a thousand times I will believe it…' the inner battle the blonde woman was experiencing was hard, she knew her mission and duty but she unable to understand it fully, outside she was a cold, calculating, brave warrior; but inside was another story, she watched the rain fall heavily on the city, it suited perfectly at how she felt, her soul was crying as hard as the rain fell, she had a vacant look, then she looked again at her hands, she was disgusted, she knew those hands will be guilty of a murder soon "they are already dirty…" she whispered to herself, in that moment her partner in battle, Michiru came, she read the mixture of pain, sadness and fear written all over Haruka's face. She seated beside her 'she's thinking about the mission…god knows that I feel the same, I don't like the idea of killing someone so horribly…but it has to be done' her rational part answered immediately.
Haruka looked up to the blue eyes and smiled a bittersweet smile, Michiru knew her so well she had this face that asked with silently 'what's the matter?', she breathed and repeated seriously "this hands…they are already dirty"
Michiru smiled warmly to her, it pained her that her partner consider herself as someone dirty, she took Haruka's right hand in her own, and both with out knowing from where it came, intertwined their fingers and these began a dance, unknown by them but that at the same time felt so familiar…finally they end clasping hands in a loving way, Haruka looked perplexed, she didn't know what to say, she was tongue tied "Michiru…" she whispered barely audible.
But before Haruka could began, Michiru surprised her again smiling more "I like your hands, Haruka"
Haruka was wide eyed, the look on Michiru's face wasn't a one of teasing or flirting, no, it was a reflection of pure affection….maybe even love? She knew they flirted a lot in front of people, but they know it was a game…a masquerade to protect their identities in Mugen Gakuen and outside, but somewhere between that Haruka knew she has fallen deeply in love with the green haired beauty. The voice of Michiru got her out of her reverie "Haruka…I need to tell you something very important…" Haruka was lost at words and she didn't trust her voice so she just nodded slightly "This may sound inadequate, and I don't know how to explain it, but you have become a very important person in my life…I love you"
Haruka now blushed deeply, has she heard right? Did Michiru just say she love her?
Looking no reaction from the blonde other than deep amazement and an equal blush Michiru sighed and closed her eyes unable to look straight at those teal eyes "I'm sorry if this bothers you…If you feel uncomfortable I can leave, the mission will remain…I know that maybe our friendship will not after this, but I had to say it…"her eyes began to fill of tears, and one escaped down her cheek "because until now I realized, I mean truly realized that we can die in any moment and I don't want to do it with out expressing my feelings for you…"
In that moment the green haired senshi felt a pair of soft warm lips on her own and a hand cupping her face, but as fast as it began it ended, she opened her eyes and saw Haruka leaning back, their contact was brief but gentle. Haruka locked eyes with Michiru "I love you too" Michiru smiled warmly, and Haruka spoke again "I've being in love with you for a quite long time…but with the mission and all…I…I w..was afraid…" a smile "but now you have made a wish come true, when…when we end this I want to remain with you…now I have a true purpose to fulfill it…Now it's not destiny or duty, I want to save this world to be with you"
Michiru took a look of the blonde senshi, her eyes were filled with love but at the same time with a little bit of fear, 'she looks beautiful'. She took Haruka's face on her hands "I want the same…" then she closed distance with the tall blonde and their lips meet; it was a gentle touch, until Haruka's hand rose to cup Michiru's neck, then she opened her mouth and their tongues meet in a loving passionate dance. Eternal moments passed by; the two of them just savoring the feeling, the most incredible thing they have ever experimented: 'love'. Neither of them wanted to break the kiss, it grew a little bit passionate but filled with unconditional love, but in a moment they stopped. Haruka breathed deeply her face with a crimson blush mirroring Michiru's and in a serious voice she said "We have to get the talismans" the sea senshi nodded "Have you called Usagi?"
"No I haven't…we can't let her interfere in this…"
'Why? Why is this happening?' Uranus tried to understand it, but in that moment Michiru's heart morphed and a Mirror appeared, the wind senshi was shocked, angry, sad everything a mix of raw emotions "The talismans were sealed into us?!" She closed her fists 'How can this be? Then our mission…it wasn't to kill…it was to die….to sacrifice everything…but why?' she looked above her in the glass dome, she has never been religious but she needed answers, answers to this ruined puzzle "Is this…is this penalty for our deeds?" Eudial mocked a grin and reached for the Mirror, but then something happened Uranus heard a voice saying "Stop right there" then she looked and saw the Messiah but everything was so fast, she just saw Usagi knocking Eudial down, her heart sank it was not the Messiah…it was just Usagi…
Usagi approached and tried to get the talisman inside Michiru's body, she begged to the beautiful Mirror, but nothing happened, Uranus looked stoic, no one would have guessed the pain in her heart, how she felt like it was getting broken in little pieces 'It's useless…Michiru is dead….' But Usagi was trying so hard… "It doesn't matter" the wind senshi whispered with no emotion in her voice.
"What?" asked the other blond not believing what she has heard 'This can't be…she can't be serious'
"A talisman has been found…and that's all that matters" she searched in her pocket and threw the red heart brooch back to her. Then she took the gun in her hands "I will get the other talisman" In part was true, she wanted to get the talisman but the overwhelming desire to fire herself was because she didn't want to live…she lost Michiru…she has lost her reason to live and fight, it was so easy just pull a finger and she will be dead…but Usagi stopped her "No! We can save the world without the talismans"
Uranus stopped and looked at her gently "Funny…when you say it I almost believe you" and silently she added 'But I can't live with just one half of my soul' her will gained strength and she shoved the moon senshi to the floor "But I don't believe in your powers" then she stared at the unmoving form of the sea senshi 'Forgive me…I'm wasting your sacrifice….but I can't go on without you' after the silent apology she held the weapon in her hands and closed her eyes tightly, then she just pulled that single finger. The shot echoed through all the building, the pain was incredible, and Uranus welcomed it, she knew she will die in a few moments….just then everything will be over, truly over…no more dreams to the future, no more concerts to share with, no more races to win, no more running, no more fighting for what you believe in, no more happiness, all her dreams were shattered and without them it was pointless to live…..
Usagi watched shocked at the scene in front of her two bodies lay, and she was unable to save them both… "Haruka…Michiru….why you?" she whispered with tears chocking her voice. She was unable to understand why this has happened…. The Inners arrived and look at the tragic scene in front of them…Two people they knew were dead in front of them…
The End….for now ;)
Ps. Should I continue? Should I not? You tell me.
