To Be With You
By CEA

"Haruka?"
"Yes?"
"Do you love me."
"Of course! Why would you even have to ask."
"I love you."
****************
She walked morosely down the sidewalk, hands clutching the straps of her backpack. She closed her eyes and willed the tears away. It wouldn't help. This was her life now. She was meant to be a soldier, to fight, to protect. To give up lives to ensure the continuation of others', including her own, it seemed. Yes, she was but a shell of the girl who had been once happy... but it wasn't merely the battle and the daimons. It was her mother, her father... and the tall blonde who kept pushing her away.
She pushed the door open to the coffee shop. All eyes were immediately upon her. Yes, she was beautiful. But none of these people saw past that. None of them.
Her pen touched the paper, spreading words out in the form of poems and wordless thoughts shaped into the drawings that guarded her secrets in subtlety. The colors clashed, the sound crashed, yet everything was silent. The sound of silence was deafening to her. She pressed her hands to her ears to try and stop it from overcoming her. She felt people around her, trying to talk sense into her.
'No!' Her mind screamed. 'Leave me alone! Why are you doing this to me?'
Green eyes.
Her own eyes snapped open. She breathed rapidly. A single tear fell down her cheek.
Haruka...
****************
Aqua... ah, the water.
It surrounded her.
It was beautiful.
It hid tears...
****************
She screamed as the monster claws raked her left arm and back. It felt like fire. A fir digging precisely into her, burning her flesh, molding her heart into it's scorched pattern, releasing a fire.
And that fire propelled her to do the necessary. She couldn't hear herself, didn't even know what she was saying. She felt water on her fingertips, felt it leave, and then fell to her knees, as everything became blurry.
****************
Water streaming down my cheeks
It is rain, I am sure
I'm spinning around, welcoming water
I won't slip, I can't fall
No, but it is not for me to tell
And the rain, the rain shall continue to fall.
Water kisses are painful, but soothing
And tears go unseen in the water
Stand in the crowd and lift thy head high
Sing out a new song
I then walk to the coffee shop on the corner
And allow my heart to flow away
A river of longing is where I drift
A raft supports my thoughts
Spreading my arms wide, I catch a falling sea
And the winds elude me again
Heavy heart, wordless thoughts
Entwined forever in the music that is me
I press down the notes
I rake the bow across the strings
****************
She could feel arms cradling her, and shook her head to clear her vision. It just increased her pain, but she could see the pers... Haruka?
Wordless exchanges passed between them. Tears flowed freely from her eyes. Squeezing them shut, she heard Haruka speak. She answered automatically. Realizing too late that she was saying things she'd never meant Haruka to say, she apologized rapidly. But those verdant eyes had captured her gaze again. Haruka set her against the wall and walked over to where the shining gold and navy henshin pen lay.
"No...Haruka, please...no..." she whispered, too weak to talk anymore. Haruka turned to her and offered a weak smile. She then reached out and touched the henshin pen. The room was full of swirls of light, engulfing her. Michiru watched, surprised, scared, and wondering all the way. Haruka landed as Sailor Uranus. She looked at her gloved hands for a moment, and closed her eyes tightly, grimacing, before detransforming.
Michiru burst into tears.
****************
Her hands found hold were there were none as she climbed. A smile was on her face, her breaths coming out sharp. It was windy, she could feel the wind swirling about her as she ascended.
Standing at last at the top of the cliff, she closed her eyes and spread her arms wide. Her blonde hair fluttered about in the wind. Her loose clothing flapped. The crash of waves on the rocks was loud, yet not too loud.
"There was a path, you know."
Haruka turned. Her eyes found the one who had spoken. She was the essence of beauty, perfection, love, kindness... "I know," she replied huskily. Michiru's eyes widened uncertainly.
"Haruka?"
The blonde walked over to her, staring into her eyes. And then she kissed her.
Neither of them had kissed anyone before.
****************
"I love you, too," Haruka whispered. Michiru smiled softly, and hugged her tightly. "More than anything..."
"Let's just stay here like this," Michiru said softly. Haruka smiled at her.
"Sounds like a plan."
****************
So? What did you think? Wow, this is kind of angsty... but I like it. I don't know what I had intended when I started this. But it turned out.... finished ;) Yay! I finished a fanfic!
