Haruka walked downstairs only to find Tsuki sitting at the table, a bowl of cereal in front of her.
"You want me to fix you something? You skipped dinner." She stated, noticing how Tsuki jumped and dropped the bowl onto the floor.
"Shit! I'm so sorry!" Tsuki yelped, earning a sigh.
"Jeez….For what? Just relax….I'll clean up and warm up some left overs for you. We saved you a plate…I hope you like curry and rice." Haruka stated, getting a mop before adding "You're welcome to help yourself to anything."
Tsuki remained quite as Haruka worked around her, only to jolt back to reality when a plate was set in front of her.
"Here...about earlier. I'm sorry I was such a jerk or whatever but….well all of this is just odd." Haruka stated, taking a seat at the table.
Tsuki wasn't sure how to respond, though something about Haruka's voice made her want to believe her.
"I wouldn't have come…but this was honestly the only place I had to go. My mom's family all live in America and I have no idea who the hell my Dad's family is, all I know was that your name was mentioned in Daichi's obituary." Tsuki replied, slowly taking a bite of her food.
"No, it's not that. It's the fact that you're a senshi….but your powers is that of one of our oldest enemy's." Haruka replied then sighed as she added "Michiru told me you thought I hated you….That's not true. I might not trust you….or what powers you have inside you. But that doesn't matter….as fucked up our family tree is you're still my sister and I have to accept that."
Tsuki felt her eyes burn at that but didn't say anything as she kept her eyes on her plate, slowly eating even though her stomach felt like she has swallowed a whirlwind.
After a while the shadow senshi glanced up, noticing that Haruka's face was contorted into a pained expression.
"Tenou-san….When my memories came back….before I woke up. I had a vision or something and this woman….she had such a soft voice….she told me about the birth of Sailor Eclipse and this stupid dark crystal I have sealed in my body." Tsuki admitted, earning a surprised look.
"Is that why you cut yourself?" Haruka asked, eyes darting toward the bandages that showed through Tsuki's borrowed shorts.
"No….that was because I've never belonged anywhere." Tsuki admitted, though to her surprise Haruka stood and put a hand on her shoulder.
"If Usagi, Setsuna and Michiru are willing to accept Eclipse then I can as well." Haruka stated, earning a surprised look.
"Thanks Tenou-san." Tsuki muttered, earning a sigh.
"When are we going to be on first name base? Seriously...it's getting weird." Haruka stated with a chuckle.
Much later that night Tsuki was outside on the balcony, sitting on the railing when she heard a soft voice come from behind her.
"It's a pretty night, huh?"
Whirling around so fast that she almost managed to fall off her perch Tsuki managed to remember that they could fly before she could hit the ground.
"Who the hell said that?!" she demanded, earning a chuckle.
"And of course you don't recognize me…jeez….and still snarky after all these years!"
Tsuki could feel her blood start to boil at the teasing though something about the laugh stopped her from being too rude.
"Show yourself before I call the others!"
She commanded, though she felt herself freeze in shock as a white cat with a black crescent moon on its forehead jumped onto the railing where she had just been sitting.
"It's been a long time Shoku…Or whatever you're called in this life." It stated, chuckling as Tsuki clumsily floated her way onto the balcony.
"Shin…." Tsuki muttered before slowly reaching a hand out, touching the creature's fur before adding
"How did you find me?"
The cat just chuckled and shook her head "not important." She answered before glancing up at the sky, just as a star shot across the darkness, vanishing in a flash.
Tsuki slowly lifted the cat into her arms then, glancing up.
"I'm just glad you're here….Everything is so awkward." She stated, the tears she had been holding back since her talk with Haruka coming to the surface.
"The others hate me...my whole body hurts and…..I keep having dreams about a Kenji." She sobbed.
"Why don't you tell Pluto of that?" she suggested, earning a sigh.
"I can't tell Setsuna! I can't bother anyone with my bullshit! That's what caused Sota to kill himself….it only a matter of time that you and everyone else will leave me too!"
Tsuki didn't notice how Shin pulled away until she felt arms pull her closer.
"You'll always have me. Stop that nonsense." Shin's voice mumbled near her ear, causing her to look up to see a woman with the same marking as shin, long white hair and soft red eyes.
"You…..have a human form?" Tsuki sniffed, earning a smirk.
"We from Mau are full of surprises." Shin retorted with a small grin before adding "let's just go inside…and get you to bed."
Tsuki awoke to a scream, causing her to groan and climb out of bed.
"What the fucking hell is going on?" she grumbled, walking out of the bedroom and going toward the sound, only to find that it lead to a playroom of sorts.
"Oh hi Tsuki-San!" Chibi-Usa stated from where she sat on a bean bag chair, looking irritated at whatever was making the racket.
"Um…Hi. What the hell is going on in there?" Tsuki retorted in her monotone voice as she tried to suppress a yawn.
"Kids being kids." Shin answered from the top of a bookshelf.
"Great….fan-fucking-tastic. There's no way in hell I can sleep with this noise….Where the hell's Haruka?" The shadow senshi grumbled.
"Downstairs." Hotaru answered from somewhere in the room though Tsuki just sighed.
"Thanks."
Walking downstairs Tsuki found Haruka sitting at the piano.
"Haruka!" she barked, earning a surprised look.
"Oi, what you want?" Haruka retorted, smirking.
"Whoever or whatever is upstairs is about to tear the place down." Tsuki retorted, earning a laugh.
"I'll go see what's going on. Feel free to sleep on the couch."
Haruka snickered as Tsuki slinked her way to the couch before laying down and pulling Haruka's discarded jacket over her face.
Well one thing we know is that she is grumpy as hell if she doesn't get eight hours.
Haruka thought before heading upstairs.
