Hi! My typical storyline: Haruka dies and Michiru has to deal with it. Um.... Well, I don't have anything else to add, so just read it. PS. I don't own Sailor Moon or any of the characters but I do own Kaze and the story, so leave them alone.
~*~*~*~**~~*
It sometimes makes me wonder what she did to deserve it. She was
always supportive, of me at least... I really don't know. Why couldn't it of
been me? Why don't I have the courage to bring myself to her? Why am I
such a God Damn Coward? I miss her, and there's nothing I can do about
it. I miss the feel of her warm arms... Oh Haruka, why did you have to die?
Why did you leave me all alone?
It all started a long time ago, when I discovered that I was Sailor Neptune
and she was Sailor Uranus. We went on missions together. We fell in love. We
had a few minor difficulties, but we had no clue of what was coming. If I
had known, I never would have let her fight...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were eating dinner at a fancy restaurant. She was looking at me with
those beautiful gray-blue eyes of hers, and some American kids were sitting
at the table behind us, snickering. They were laughing at us. Haruka was
getting more and more annoyed at them. She stood up with fire in her
eyes. I stood up too, I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't be stopped.
"No Haruka! Don't! Let them be!"
"Stand back Michiru." Haruka replied to me with a determined tone of
voice. I grabbed her arm to try and hold her back but she threw me aside.
She looked at me with that look that she reserved for Sailor Moon, the first
time she met her. Haruka put on a VERY phoney smile and walked over to
the table where the kids were. I stood up again and tried to follow, but her
hand stopped me, "Let me handle this."
"No, Haruka! DON'T!"
"Stop telling me what to do. I can take care of myself. Now Stand Back"
She wasn't going to give in. She turned her attention from me to the kids.
The were looking decidedly afraid. She put her elbows on the table and
leaned down. She looked at each one of them in turn, then spoke, "And
What, may I ask, Is so funny?"
One of them swallowed his fear and decided to act funny, "You're a
lesbian." He and all of his buddies cracked up.
"And, that is, funny?"
"Yeah"
Haruka stuck her hand in his face, balled into a fist, "Is it still so funny?" The
kid swallowed. I gasped. Haruka's tone was so cold. So unfeeling. Who
knows what she might do. The kid stood up.
"Let's go outside. I don't want to cause trouble," he paused, "For the owner
of the restaraunt."
"Okay then" Haruka agreed all too readily for me.
"No Haruka! Don't do it!"
"Michiru, this isn't your problem. Stay out of it"
"But, Haruka, it IS my problem! I don't want you to get hurt!"
"First of all, do you REALLY think this kid is a threat? and second, you're
giving them another reason. Now, shut up and stay out of it."
"But!"
"Go Away."
I shut up. I could see that nothing I could say was going to change her
mind. She stepped out into the alley with the kid. I quickly paid our check
and followed.
When I got there, Haruka and the biggest kid were already exchanging
blows. The other ones saw me, and started after me. I was unprepared,
and in a long dress. The knocked me to the ground and started punching
me repeatedly. Not like I'm not used to it, but I was unprepared.
"Michiru!" Haruka screamed as she saw me. The Big Kid knocked her out just
about as I went unconscious.
********
When I woke up, I was in a hospital room. Haruka was lying in the bed
across from me. I tried to sit up, but I was sore all over. My entire body was
brused. A nurse entered the room.
"So, I see you've waken up... Kaioh Michiru. You were in quite the brawl."
"Can you tell me what happened?" I asked hastily, "And what about
Haruka! Is she okay?"
The nurse chuckled, "One question at a time, please! But I'll answer your first
question first. Apparently, you were knocked unconscious and your friend
here," she motioned to Haruka, "Tried to get to you, but was struck down.
Then, the kids were beating on you. Kicking you and hitting you with
anything they could find. We don't know how long it went on, but pretty
soon, the shop owner found you, brought the kids to the police, and you
here. No one knows how long they were attacking you, but from the extent
of your friend's injuries, I'd say at least half an hour. Long attention span,
huh?" The nurse chuckled again.
I jumped on her words, "You said something about Haruka's injuries! How," I
paused, afraid of the answer I might get if I asked this question, "How bad
are they?"
The nurse's cheerful expression faded, "They're pretty bad... She might not
survive..." She looked at me with eyes full of compassion and I fell to my
knees sobbing.
"If I had been more strict with her, she would still be alive!"
"You mean, you tried to stop her?"
"Yes!" I screamed through sobs, "I tried to stop her but she didn't listen!"
"I think you need to be alone now, I'll come back in a little while to check
on her..." She closed the door softly.
I gathered up all of my courage, and stood up. I walked over to Haruka's
side. I sat down on a chair beside her. I took her clammy hand in mine. Her
eyes fluttered for a moment, then she opened them. She looked up at me,
and I guess noticed the tears flowing out of my eyes.
"Don't be sad, Michiru, this was meant to happen..." she took a labored
breath and smiled at me, "I'll be with you always, just don't forget me..." The
heart moniter above her started to ring that her heart had stopped.
Another tear fell from my eye on to her chest.
I held her cold hand to my cheek. The tears were flowing freely now,
"Haruka! Haruka! No! Please, Haruka! Don't Die!" I bent over her and
continued crying.

That was a year ago, but I still can't go on...
