AN: So this is my first posted Haruka and Michiru fan fiction. It is set after the end of Sailor Moon but it really doesn't matter if you don't know what happens at the end of the anime of manga. This small piece is about Haruka which is why I named it Distant.

Disclaimers: I don't own Haruka or Michiru; they belong to the wonderful Takeuchi Naoko. This story, however, is mine.

The battles were tough, but that only made the victories more rewarding. She didn't mind the tiring, sleepless nights and the endless searching for a better future. Nor did she care that she died twice; having to sacrifice her life for the good of the world. What did matter to her was that her battle partner, closest friend and lover was alive, breathing, living and staying by her side with a loving look always on her beautiful face. Breaking down her once strong barriers and taming the wind.
