AN- So here is fic number 2 for my H & M obsession. Hope you all enjoy.

Once again I do not own Haruka and Michiru… sigh

The moonlight cast an eerie glow upon the seaside mansion that was home to the outer senshi. The silence was all encompassing, until the crack of a door opening announced the presence of a black haired five year old. She peered through the crack in the door at her parents as they slept. She cautiously approached her fathers side of the bed and asked in a quiet voice, "Haruka-papa?" She gained no response from the slumbering blonde. She tried again, this time she added shaking her fathers shoulder.

"Mmm… wha…" was the only response she gained.

"Haruka-papa wake up."

"Hime-chan?" asked a low voice. "What's wrong?"

"I had a bad dream. I dreamt that you and Michiru-mama were hurt in a car accident. Can I sleep with you?" Haruka opened her eyes and looked at her adoptive daughter. There were tears that still glistened at the corner of her eyes. Haruka sat up and placed her daughter on her lap. She wiped the tears from her eyes and held her close.

"Oh Hotaru, calm down, it was just a nightmare. Your mother and I are fine. Of course you can sleep with us." With that the racer placed the child between her and her lover and pulled the sheets back up around them. "Now go to sleep. No one can hurt you alright?"

"Thank you Haruka-papa." The child said while closing her eyes. It was less then five minutes before she was fast asleep. Haruka however was now wide awake. She lay there for another 30 minutes before deciding that trying to sleep was a futile act. She glanced at the clock to see that it was now 4:15 in the morning. She sighed and got out of bed.

"I might as well do something productive if I'm awake." She mumbled to herself while getting her jogging clothes out of the closest. She quietly got dressed and left the house to go for a morning run.

The sun had risen and had replaced the eerie light of the moon. It shone upon the aqua haired woman who was starting to stir. She turned over and opened her eyes expecting to see her wife, but instead was greeted by the sight of her daughter still fast asleep. 'I guess she went out already' she thought as she got up to go take a shower. When she emerged from the bathroom she noticed the bed was now empty. She got dressed and went downstairs where she found Hotaru in front of the TV. "Ohayo princess." She greeted as she walked past her towards the kitchen.

"Ohayo Michiru-mama."

Michiru entered the kitchen and found the last occupant of the mansion sitting at the table reading the paper and sipping a cup of tea. "Ohayo Setsuna."

"Ohayo Michiru. Sleep well?"

"Hai, but when I woke up I found my wife replaced by a little black haired girl. Speaking of Haruka, have you seen her this morning?" as soon as the words left her lips they heard the front door slam shut.

"No, but I assume that might be her." Setsuna answered without looking up from her paper. Sure enough not a minute later the tall blonde walked into the kitchen.

"Ohayo minna." Haruka said as she walked over to the sink to get herself a glass of water.

"Ohayo." Both of the other occupants of the kitchen answered.

"Did you have a good run?" Michiru asked as she walked over to her lover and wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck pulling her down into a kiss.

"Hai. Although I think that maybe staying in bed with you would have been a lot better." She said as she wrapped her arms around her wife's waist. "Why did I leave again?" The answer came in the form of Hotaru colliding with Haruka's legs. "Oomph. Right, now I remember. Ohayo Hime-chan. Did you finally sleep well last night?"

"Hai! Thank you Haruka-papa." Haruka chuckled at her daughter and picked her up.

"Anytime princess." She smiled at her daughter. "Now go on you have to go get ready for school."

"Hai." With that Haruka placed her on the ground and she ran up the stairs.

"I suppose I too should go take a shower and get ready." Haruka said looking down at her sweaty appearance.

"I think that would be greatly appreciated." Smirked Setsuna taking a sip of her tea. Haruka glared at her playfully.

"You're just jealous Sets."

"Jealous of being covered in sweat?"

"Jealous that you don't have this fabulous body." Haruka said as she struck a pose causing Michiru to giggle.

"Well that fabulous body better go get ready so it can take our daughter to school." Michiru said pushing Haruka out of the kitchen.

"Alright, alright. Sheesh." Once they heard Haruka go into the bedroom Setsuna spoke up.

"And you married that willingly?"

"Yes I did and sometimes I wonder… So are you going to be able to watch Hotaru tonight while Ruka and I attend my concert?"

"Hai. I'll pick her up on my way home from work. Which I should really be on my way to right now." She stood up and placed her cup in the dishwasher before turning back to Michiru. "Good luck tonight. Not that you'll need it."

"Arigatou. Have a good day." And thus Michiru was left alone in the kitchen until Hotaru came running back in. "Hotaru dear, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Hai. Setsuna-mama made me breakfast."

'Setsuna, you are a god sent.' "Alright well go keep yourself busy until your father gets back down and she'll take you to school."

"Alright." The violet eyes child sauntered off into the next room to watch TV. Michiru went about the kitchen preparing lunch for Hotaru and a quick breakfast for Haruka since she knew that Haruka would not have eaten before her run. Ten minutes later Haruka came downstairs freshly showered. As soon as she walked into the kitchen Michiru handed her a cup of coffee.

"Thank you." Haruka said as she took a seat at the table. Almost immediately Michiru set a plate of Eggs, bacon and toast before her. "This looks good. Thank you."

"You're welcome. What time do you think you will be home tonight?"

"Well I'll leave the track early, so I beat traffic so I should be home by 3 o'clock. I'll get changed and then we can leave because I know at that time we'll definitely be caught in traffic."

"Sounds good. Setsuna said she'll pick Hotaru up and look after her tonight."

"Good. And speaking of our little princess I think I should get her to school before she's late." Haruka said as she took her now empty plate, rinsed it off and placed it in the dishwasher. "Hotaru, are you ready?" She yelled into the next room.

"Hai Haruka-papa."

"Well then I guess we're off. Thanks for breakfast." She leaned down and gave Michiru a quick kiss before grabbing her duffle bag and heading for the door.

"Haruka wait." Michiru shouted causing the blonde to stop in her tracks and turn around. "Here." She handed Haruka Bento. "Wouldn't want our daughter to starve now would we?" Haruka chuckled.

"No. I guess we can't let that happen. Alright I'll see you around 3. Bye."

"Bye."

"Bye Michiru-mama. Good luck tonight."

"Thank you princess. Be good." After these words the door closed leaving Michiru alone in the house. "Well I suppose I should go practice." She mumbled as she went up to her music room.

It was 2:53 when the door to the mansion opened and Haruka walked in. She tossed her bag to the side of the entranceway and walked up the stairs. When she entered her bedroom she found Michiru in front of the mirror fixing her hair. She was dressed in an elegant, but simple long black gown. It had a low cut v neck and slits along either side of the legs. Haruka let out a whistle.

"You look gorgeous." She said leaning down and placing a kiss on Michiru's cheek.

"Thank you. Now I expect you to be looking handsome in less than 30 minutes." She said as she tried to hide the blush that had crept to her face.

"That shouldn't be to hard… I always look handsome." Haruka smirked as she entered their adjoining bathroom to take a shower. Ten minutes later she emerged wrapped in a towel. She went over to her closet and pulled out a formal black tux. In another ten minutes she was dressed and standing in front of the bathroom mirror trying to get her bowtie to cooperate. Michiru walked in and couldn't help, but to laugh at the scene in front of her.

"You know after all these years, you would think that you would have gotten a hang of how to tie one of these." She smiled as she walked behind Haruka and proceeded to fix the bowtie for her.

"Why would I want to if it gets you to put your arms around me?" She smiled at Michiru's reflection in the mirror. Michiru was once again blushing. Once Michiru had finished Haruka turned around and embraced her wife. "I love you."

"I love you too." They stayed like that for a few minutes until Michiru broke them apart. "We have to get going, or we'll be late." Haruka sighed loudly.

"I suppose we should." They headed downstairs and Haruka grabbed her keys and Michiru her violin and they left the house.

The audience stood and erupted in applause. Michiru beamed at her fans and then her eyes fell on a certain blonde haired audience member who was smiling that smile of hers. Michiru bowed and left the stage heading towards her dressing room. Inside she placed her Violin and bow back inside their case when she heard a knock at the door. Smiling to herself about who she knew was behind the door, she walked towards it and opened it. She was greeted by a bouquet of red roses. She took them revealing behind them Haruka's smiling face.

"You were wonderful" she said as she entered the room.

"Thank you. And thank you for the roses, they're beautiful." Michiru said placing the flowers on top of her violin case.

"Not as beautiful as you." Haruka said pulling Michiru towards her and kissing her. Michiru smiled into the kiss and when they finally broke apart she looked into Haruka's eyes.

"It amazes me sometimes how mushy you can be." Haruka chuckled at this.

"And you love it." She smirked. Michiru sighed in defeat.

"Hai. I do. And I love you as well." She said placing another kiss on Haruka's lips.

"I love you too." Haruka said as they parted. "Shall we get going then?"

"Hai." She picked up her flowers and was about to pick up her violin when Haruka intercepted and grabbed it before her. Instead of the violin Haruka offered her free arm. Michiru smiled and gladly accepted. Arm in arm they walked from the arena to the car. When they were stopped at red light Haruka turned to look at Michiru. Michiru noticed and turned to Haruka.

"What?" Michiru asked giving Haruka a confused look.

"Nothing. I was just distracted by your beauty is all."

"Well thank you but keep your eyes on the road."

"Yes ma'am" Haruka said as she turned to face forward. The light turned green and she started to advance forward, when suddenly a car collided with the driver's side. The car flipped and rolled on its side a few times before coming to rest upside down. Michiru Opened her eyes and everything was fuzzy. She blinked a few times trying to clear her vision. She noticed a sharp pain in her head and pressed her hand to where it was coming from. When she pulled it away her hand was covered in blood. She winced and called out to her lover.

"Ruka?" She got no reply. She turned her head and was met with a sight that broke her heart. Haruka was covered in blood and was not moving. "Oh God, Ruka."
