I come bearing another story! The idea came to me last night and I decided to write it. I wrote it to the song Hidden Truth from the Vampire Knight OST. Enjoy!
Doomsday
Haruka sighed as she stared into her coffee. Things between her and Michiru since Galaxia had gotten tense. Very tense. It was to the point now where Haruka had more or less been kicked out. With Hotaru away at school with Setsuna in America, it had just been Haruka and Michiru. And things had gotten bad. Michiru blamed Haruka for their killing of Setsuna and Hotaru which ultimately led to their own death. The blonde racer sighed and continued to sip her now cold cup of coffee.
She missed her lover.
It was strange how people took things and people for granted until they lost them. I wonder if that's human nature... the teal eyed woman pondered. Moving over, she turned the television set on and sat down to watch something mindless, like one of those American cartoons of that rabbit and duck or the cat and mouse. Before she could hit the button, the abrupt music change gave the Senshi pause. Instead of changing the channel, she turned up the volume.
"We interrupt this program for this breaking news bulletin! A fierce monster has just been spotted downtown! The police are powerless to stop it and residents of the Juuban shopping area are being asked to please evacuate the scene! Troops are being called in to try and quell this beast but this reporter has little hope much can be done. Again, there is..."
The television was talking to air. Haruka had already left, the coffee mug tipped over in her haste and spilling the brown liquid onto the white carpet.

Uranus landed lightly on a nearby rooftop and stared at the creature. It was rugged and grisly looking, blood of innocents covering its body. Her teal eyes narrowed. Summoning her power, she launched an attack at the beast. She leapt down and stared. As the dust cleared, the creature still stood without a mark. Eyes narrowing, Uranus fired off a few more attacks before rushing in. She slugged the monster as hard as she could and it staggered. She frowned, eyes narrowing.
Great...only physical attacks seem to hurt this bastard. Fine by me. I've been itching for a good fight.
Summoning her Talisman, Uranus began slashing at the beast. It staggered back from her onslaught but soon recovered. Stopping in disgust, Uranus watched as it pulled what looked like a protruding bone out of its back and began parrying her strikes. The handle was bone of the creature's weapon but the rest was a blade as the blonde soon felt it slash across her back. Staggering, she turned and glared. If this thing had been an innocent it had long ago lost whatever traces of humanity was left in it.
Snarling in rage, the beast once more lunged at Uranus. The blonde parried and thrust, using every ounce of skill she possessed to avoid the bone blade. But it was a grueling fight. Each time their blades clashed Uranus felt her strength giving out more. The only indicator of time passing was the sun had begun to set.
Sweat poured off of the blonde's face as she stared at the creature. It was time to end this. Most of Juuban had been destroyed in their fight of being thrown through walls and bashed through windows. Spitting blood to the side, Uranus gripped her Talisman. "Die already," she snapped. As the beast lunged forward, Uranus struck.
Blade pierced flesh as the rain started to fall.

Having gotten word of an enemy attack in Juuban, Michiru rushed from her rehearsals to the scene. Police and military personnel were all around, keeping the growing crowd back. Managing to squeeze through, the violinist looked at the carnage. Most of the bodies were already in body bags. Her heart went out to the families of those who had lost loved ones. Moving through the debris, she saw the creature's head that had caused this. At least it was dead and could harm no more innocents. Stepping around the head, she frowned when a crack reached her ears. She looked down and her breath caught in her throat.
The Space Sword was in pieces.
Slowly the Sea Senshi knelt down and gathered the pieces. Lifting her eyes, she stared in horror. Several feet away was the blonde. Scrambling over to Haruka, Michiru stared at the bone sword through her lover's abdomen. The blood had been smeared and washed away by the rain. An arm looked broken and there was bone sticking out of her left leg. Oceanic eyes looked at the bowed head. Shakily, the teal haired woman reached out and pressed two fingers against the cold neck of the blonde's.
No pulse.
A choked sob escaped Michiru's throat as she clung to her lover, begging for forgiveness for their fight and to come back. "Haruka, I'm here, I'm here! Wake up!! Onegai wake up!!" But the blonde didn't move. A finger did not twitch. Clinging to the Wind Senshi's shirt, she continued to sob as workers came in and continued to remove the bodies and debris.
Ten'ou Haruka had died. A victim of a brutal youma attack that Uranus had valiantly stopped on her own but not before numerous lives had been claimed.
END
I know I know! It was sad! And yes, it is somewhat based off of the Superman Doomsday but it still works! At the moment its a one shot but if I get inspired to keep writing to this it might grow into more. No idea yet.
Let me know what everyone thought of it but PLEASE NO FLAMES!
