Michiru moved her left arm, listening to the subtle whine of the gears. It was an artificial arm and she was not alone in having one. Seiya also had one. It felt weird to the two for the arm was not their own but it felt like it.

Michiru heard footsteps and turned, smiling faintly when she saw Usagi. "Something wrong Usagi?"

The shorter woman shook her head. "I just…I'm worried about Haruka. She's woken up but she's locked herself in a room and won't come out."

The Sea Senshi sighed. "I know. But she was manipulated for weeks. She was tricked into killed men, women, and children." Michiru was more worried about her lover than any of the others probably knew. Without a word Michiru left, heading for the room her lover had claimed. She stopped and knocked on the door.

"Go away," the voice ordered.

"No," Michiru said. Seeing that the door wouldn't be opening Michiru forced it apart with the Force. She walked in and saw Haruka curled up in a darkened corner of the room, head buried in her arms. Michiru glided over and tentatively rested a hand on her lover's back.

Haruka stiffened at the touch. "Leave me alone…" she whispered.

"I've left you alone for long enough." She forced Haruka to look at her. The blonde's eyes were red from crying. Her face was gaunt as well. Michiru gently trailed a finger over the scar. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you," she whispered.

Haruka tried to pull away but Michiru refused to give way. "Leave me alone before I hurt you again!" the blonde begged.

Michiru gently caressed her lover's face. "You leaving would hurt me. I love you Haruka…nothing in this world can change that. You're back and you're safe. That's all I care about."

"I killed innocent men and women…and those children…" Tears sprang into Haruka's eyes and she bowed her head.

Michiru pulled her lover close and held her, softly stroking the shaggy blonde hair. "It wasn't your fault. You were tricked. He used you…"

"And I let him. I didn't even question what he asked me to do…" she whispered.

"You thought he was giving you a way to get to us. If it had been me, I might have done the same thing."

"But I didn't stop when I saw you or the others…I just…I kept killing…"

Michiru slapped Haruka, startling the blonde. "Get a hold of yourself Ten'ou Haruka! You are a Sailor Senshi and the woman I love. Now start acting like it. We all make mistakes but I'm fine. They gave me a new arm."

Haruka bowed her head. "It still shouldn't have happened…"

"But it did happen Haruka. We can't change the past." Michiru reached over and gently caressed Haruka's face with the artificial limb. Haruka blinked. It felt slightly strange but it also felt very real. She looked up into the sea blue eyes of her lover.

"What if the Jedi sentence me to die?"

Michiru shook her head. "They're not like that. I can't promise that a few aren't angry with you about it but they're working through their anger. It is an emotion…"

"Of the Dark Side, I know…but what can I do?"

"Train to become a Jedi," Michiru said. "It will be hard and filled with difficulties but I know you can do it."

Haruka looked up at Michiru. "What if I fall to the Dark Side again?"

"Then I'll be there to pull you back," Michiru replied, kissing the blonde softly. Haruka returned the kiss, pulling Michiru close. They pulled back to breathe and smiled to each other before they began kissing again, each needing to feel the other, their passions flaring and mingling together.

Yaten was taking a drink of water when she winced. Taiki saw and looked at Yaten. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," the short Light said.

"Then why the wince?" Seiya asked around a mouthful of food.

Yaten shrugged. "Oh nothing, just Ten'ou and Kaioh getting reacquainted with each other," she returned.

Seiya glared. "Did you have to say that? I'm eating here."

"Not my fault your mind went to the gutter," Yaten smirked.

"Well it's not like they're playing chess," Seiya retorted.

Taiki just rolled her eyes as the two bantered. She swore the two were so stubborn and thick headed they couldn't see how much they cared about the other. The thought depressed Taiki and she finished her food and rose to her feet, muttering something about meditating before walking away.

"What's with her?" Seiya asked.

Yaten rolled her eyes. "Like you haven't noticed the way her and Ouhi look at each other when they think no one is looking."

"Oh…oh! I see…"

Yaten shook her head as she picked her tray up. "Sailor Oblivious, I swear…" she muttered. Seiya stuck her tongue out but Yaten had already gone.

Kurast was not pleased. He Force hurled objects everywhere. His apprentice had been perfect, all but ruthless in what he asked of her. But when it came to fighting her friends, she was weak and useless. His head whipped around at the sound of someone outside of his door.

"What!?" he roared.

A low ranking Imperial officer entered the room. He shifted nervously. "Th…the Admiral will see you now," he said nervously.

Kurast just swept out of the room and walked to the bridge of the ship. He glared at the woman Admiral. "What is it Reese?" he demanded.

Reese turned, noting the distinct lack of her title. "The fleet's being assembled as we speak Lord Kurast." She looked at him. "And where is your apprentice?" she smirked coolly.

Kurast glared at her. "She fell. It is of no matter. I'm sure another apprentice will surface soon." He walked to the window and looked out over the assembling Star Destroyers. "What of the special weapon?"

"It's being loaded onto the Super Destroyer as we speak," Reese answered.

Kurast smiled and nodded. "The Republic will pay…"

Haruka walked into the Council room and nervously stood there. Most of the Jedi Masters were there and the few who weren't appeared as blue holograms. She waited patiently for them to speak. Finally, the one called Jade Skywalker leaned forward.

"You were seduced by the Dark Side and helped destroy one of our temples. What do you have to say for yourself?" Jade demanded.

Haruka looked down before meeting the Jedi Master's gaze. "That I'm sorry. We had just been thrown into this galaxy and I had been separated from my friends. I was enslaved and was freed by the Sith Lord. All I wanted to do was to find my friends so…I followed him without question. I should have known better, should have questioned his intentions but I was blinded by my drive to find my friends. All I can say and do is offer my apologies."

The Jedi Masters looked at each other and nodded. "We believe you," Luke said. "The Dark Side is very tempting even for the most experienced Jedi. For one to not know of its dangers and to fall sway to it is understandable."

"You have something else on your mind young one," an older Jedi Master stated more than asked.

Haruka nodded. "I…I want to become a Jedi…help right the wrongs and do what I can to make up for what I did…"

"Jedi do not seek revenge," another Master said.

"I know and I understand that. But I still want to help and be trained if you'll let me," she said.

"The road of being a Jedi is filled with danger and constant temptation from the Dark Side. It will not be an easy path to take," Jade said.

"Being a Sailor Senshi wasn't an easy task either. All I can promise is to do the best I can," Haruka answered.

The Jedi Masters nodded. "Your training will begin tomorrow at dawn. Don't be late," Luke said.

Haruka bowed and left the Council chamber. Upon exiting the room she noticed her friends had been waiting for her. She smiled. "I begin training tomorrow."

Usagi squealed in happiness and the others had to cover their ears. "That's great! We can all be Jedi!"

"Being a Jedi isn't a game Usagi," Rei snapped.

"I know that! But we were all Senshi and now we can all be Jedi!" The two began bickering back and forth.

Michiru held Haruka and giggled at the two. "Well I'm glad to have my lover back," she said, leaning up to kiss Haruka. Haruka returned the kiss.

"Get a room," Yaten muttered.

Haruka smirked. "Now there's an idea," she grinned causing Michiru to giggle. Yaten rolled her eyes and went off to go train. Seiya and Taiki followed.

"We should probably go train too," Rei said, the others picking up on the hint. They left and Haruka and Michiru held each other.

"How about a tour of the Academy?" Michiru asked.

"That sounds good," Haruka agreed. The Sea Senshi nodded and led her lover out onto the grounds and began pointing out the temples and what they were used for.
