Tsuki dodged as fruit went flying as the dark clad figure fell into the nearby marketplace, landing amongst a crate of tomatoes.
"Okay, you're coming with me." She growled, trying not to be too rough despite the fact that the bandit struggled against her.
"Prison is better than this hellhole." The figure snapped, hood falling to reveal a young girl with long brown hair and startling green eyes.
Slightly shocked Eclipse tried to process what had happened.
"You're just a kid." She stated, trying to figure out why the kid was on the streets to begin with.
"I'm fifteen! The name's Karunā." She growled, earning a scoff.
"Come on smart ass…and don't even think of using fire at me again." Tsuki growled, pushing the teen along.
"We can't just lock her away. I mean she's just a kid!" Queen serenity stated, earning a sigh.
"Put her in the cell until morning. Sailor Ison, Venus and I will hold a meeting in the morning…Right now I have a family to get to." Eclipse sighed before heading toward where the teen sat, however Serenity grabbed her arm.
"Even that unsettles me." The monarch admitted, earning a sigh.
"Fine, but let me handle it." Eclipse stated, bowing lightly before continuing toward Karunā.
"Karunā, well find permanent thing for you in the morning…You can stay in the soldiers quarters...that way you can't sneak out and its more fitting than a cell." She stated, earning a wide eyed look.
"Really?" the jade eyed girl squeaked, suddenly kneeling.
"Thank you your majesties." She muttered, earning a sigh.
"Stop groveling. You're just fifteen….and you were stealing food. It isn't like you robbed a bank." Eclipse retorted, leading toward the stairs to the barracks.
"dinner is in about an hour….and I'll have one of my guards bring you some clothes in." she stated, glancing over the girl once again, noticing for the first time the faded bruises on Karunā's face.
"you mean I get to eat with you?" the girl questioned, earning a curt nod.
"Yeah. Even the staff eat with us. Though most of the time we do our own work." Tsuki answered with a shrug.
"I'm home!"
Tsuki called, removing her cloak and armor at the door.
"Mom!"
Suddenly Tsuki found herself landing on the floor.
"Hey…I hope your day went better than mine." She stated, hugging them before looking up at a laughing Yaten.
"Rough day?" the silver haired figure asked as she knelt down as well.
"yeah. We have a fifteen year old staying in the barracks….she is also a senshi…or at least has fire powers." Tsuki answered, sighing tiredly as she leaned back against the closed door.
"I know that look….What happened?" Yaten questioned, earning a bitter laugh.
"My past is already screwed up enough, without having triggers. Menyani, Minako and I are supposed to meet in the morning to discuss Karunā's fate. " was all she said before glancing at the clock.
"I think I'll take some of my old things down for the girl. She fell into a whole crate of tomatoes….and lets just say that her majesty though I had beaten the girl." She stated suddenly, earning chuckle.
"well at least it wasn't you falling again." Yaten teased earning a glare.
"hardy har har. Sailor Ison has a harder time walking on it than I do." She reminded her lover who just rolled her eyes.
"Okay…okay….sorry sarcastic butt."
Tsuki snorted at that but otherwise didn't say anything.
