As promised, here it is. This is very trippy to write. I write it in the most ungodly of hours. It helps, lack of oxygen in the brain actually helps this story into fruition.
DISCLAIMER: BSSM and its CHARACTERS do not belong to me they are NAOKO TAKEUCHI's.
Nobody can voice out anything. They were floating in time, without any limbs, without existing. Before they could voice out their concerns, the beautiful tanned figure transported them to the past and turned them into... air? Prying elements of combined chemicals. That's what it felt like.
They were going from scene to scene as if skipping past chapters of a movie. It was a dizzying experience for all of them, all except Setsuna of course.
A girl of 18 years was playing the harp and then out of the blue smoke engulfed her and she was greeted by a rather attractive blonde person.
"Who are you?!"
"I am Haruka, I'm here to grant you seven wishes..."
"I love you..."
"You can't Haruka... you're not allowed to fall in love aren't you?"
"Nothing's ever stopped me from kissing you. Unless you don't feel the same?"
"I do... but... I am scared of losing you."
"As long as you don't make seven wishes we'll be alright." They shared a laugh.
"Your dreams are becoming a hindrance perhaps we should seek help."
"I... I don't know who I am."
"Neither do I Haruka, neither do I..."
Then nothing mattered, they were, in a stable somewhere in time. It looks like Japan decades after the Meiji Restoration era where there were hints of European or Western influences present on a rather otherwise Feudal Japan. They could see two figures, one was definitely Haruka wearing a black over-coat and the other... A marine blue haired girl with powder blue eyes, wearing a lengthy white dress that gracefully trailed on the floor- they seem to be arguing.
"Otou-san doesn't want me to see you, he's adamant that I stay away from you. He doesn't know of your magic, but he claims to know about you and that you're no good. He says, you don't belong here." Her blue eyes searched for any answers, but her emerald eyes emitted as much confusion as her sapphire ones.
"I belong with you... isn't that enough? We love each other. That's all I know. Yuki, we can do this. Let's go see that Trista." The blonde clasped the shorter girls hands with her own, gingerly shaking it a bit, "Come on, I know this is out of the ordinary, but what we feel, what we have- this isn't ordinary either and we should fight for it."
The shorter of the two wriggled her right hand out of Haruka's grasp to place it behind her head and grab a fistful of blonde hair, she pulled her head closer as they sunk into a kiss. Her larger hands rose to cup the blue-haired girl's cheeks, gently caressing her skin with her thumbs.
"It will, be alright. We should see Trista she would-" Before she could finish her sentence, the sorceress appeared in front of them.
'Wow, so she does that a lot.' The bodiless future-Haruka though, all of a sudden she felt a jolt of pain on her currently none-existent head. 'OW! What the hell, how can you hit me?!' She asked the other bodiless entity. 'Pay attention. You will need to watch every second of everything I choose to show you.' Just like that all the conversations ended, they continued being stalkers of the past. No matter how uncomfortable it made them feel.
"You should be ready for this." The past-Setsuna pointed at past-Haruka.
"W-wait, what are we getting ourselves into?" A young Yuki clutched the fabric of Haruka's shirt, not ready to let go of the blonde yet.
"She needs to go to hell to retrieve something that was taken from her. Something that belongs to her." Past-Setsuna vaguely stated. Haruka just looked as confused as ever.
"What do you mean?" The couple exchanged glances at each other.
"It's a sad and twisted story. I was there to witness it. The only thing I could do to save you... Haruka, is to turn you into what you are now. This cycle has to end. Your life was cut-short because of pride and love." This time Trista walked closer towards Haruka to give her a pat on the shoulder.
"I still don't have a clue about what it is you're trying to say." She held the smaller girl, firmer in her hands. "But if it would keep Yuki and I together, then I will do what I have to do." She turned her gaze towards the smaller girl.
"Matte! How do you this will work?!" She directed her focus on Setsuna, who just gave her an apologetic look in return.
"I don't" She clutched her staff and looked away, she always blamed herself for all of this. If she allowed things to take its course, maybe, just maybe life would have went on as usual.
"But what if it does?" Haruka looked at Yuki, tilting her chin with her index finger.
"But what if it doesn't?!" Yuki pouted, causing the blonde to chuckle, she placed a feather-light kiss on Yuki's forehead,
"But WHAT if it DOES?" She continued trailing feather-light kissed on Yuki's face while emphasizing her optism. She slung both her hands behind the blonde's head and savoured the longest kiss she ever gave the blonde.
"Alright... what do we have to do?" Her blue eyes inquired at Setsuna's Ruby-Red ones.
"You have to wish for her freedom, so she can move past worlds." Setsuna stated. She can see the girl's hesitance but she knows, both of them will do everything for each other.
"I... Aishiteru yo, Haruka!" She hugged Haruka once more, with a desperation of soldier's wife. Haruka embraced her with the same amount of ferocity.
"I wish for your freedom." It was a whisper but enough for Haruka to hear and just like that, a golden light enveloped her athletic body before it burst out of her rib-cage. She fell on all fours, gasping for air. Yuki, anxiously patting her back while she coughs.
"Yuki... Gomen..."
Before Yuki could answer, the ground below Haruka cracked open, revealing flames and unearthly moaning, a pair of decaying arms grabbed Haruka by the collar, Yuki tried to hold on to the blonde but for some reason, there was a force field blocking her, she watched as the blonde was devoured by the flames and eventually, the ground stitched itself together, without leaving a scar nor memory of it opening to take her lover away. Her eyes remained at the place she last saw Haruka.
"Is she... is she coming back?" She sat there looking at Setsuna for answers but she knows she won't get any.
"She will be where she belongs." Setsuna turned to leave.
"No! You can't do this! I need to know why, you can't leave me without any answers!" She yelled at Setsuna, but the taller woman didn't face her.
"You wouldn't want to know..."
"TRY ME!" She defiantly yelled causing Setsuna to face her fully.
"Child, your grand father murdered Haruka. He carved out her heart in front of your Aunt and Grand Mother... I was there. Do you still want to know? I can take you there."
Her eyes widened at Setsuna's statement. Part of her wanted to say no but a part of her wanted more pieces of the truth. She nodded her head slowly and she was transported as a ghost, to a time forgotten, a time never spoken of in their family. A hidden truth. A dark family secret.
"You stole my wife! Now you want to steal my daughter?! You UNGODLY creature! Things like you shouldn't exist, the bible-"
"The bible states that murderers go to hell too." She cut him off, which made him slap her across the face with the back of his hand.
"Still trying to fight?! These chains won't set you free. I WON'T SET YOU FREE! You will never have her. I may go to hell for this but you will never ever have her. Not in this life! Not in the next! NEVER!"
He chanted a few prayers before grabbing a knife hidden in his cloak, she looked at the dagger's hilt before looking at the blonde's green eyes.
"STOP THIS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I DIDN'T SLEEP With you wife! I'm in love with your daughter! I love Michelle! She's the only one I love! Please, Lord Kaiou, this is a big mistake!"
"I should have gagged you! That's the big mistake!" Without hesitation he sliced through Haruka's thigh diagonally, before pressing a cylinder on her skin to collect the blood spurting out of her limbs. You could hear the blonde writhing in pain. She begged for mercy, she begged for her life but it fell on deaf ears, she was chained of four pillars and the crazy man was pouring her blood to create a shape... A pentagon.
"Trista, I can't watch this... please... take me out of here." The young Yuki was crying her eyes out, and if future-Yuki had eyes, she would cry again.
"As you wish. You need to understand. Haruka would go to hell to retrieve her heart from Francois."
Before anyone could protest they were transported back to Setsuna's cave of darkness and its questionable source of light. All of them landed on all fours except for Setsuna and Yuki. The younger three panted.
"I WAS MURDERED?!" Haruka stood up, remembering her sliced leg and a memory of her heart being carved out, her hands immediately went to her chest. She laid her palms flat on her heart to feel it beating. She immediately eyed Michiru who looked like she was deep in thought. "Michi?" She wasn't sure if she should approach so she hopped towards Michiru with 5 second intervals. When her hands landed on the smaller girl's shoulder though, she found herself shot down.
"Haruka, just give me a minute to digest everything that happened." Michiru walked away from her.
"Give her a minute. Its hard to witness someone you love, loving someone else." Shiori spoke to the blonde.
"Shiori... I am sorry I can't remember anything about us, but if what I felt for you is what I feel for Michiru, please know that it was real." Haruka stated.
"I don't know if I should slap you or thank you, Haruka, but I guess... you will soon find out about what happened to us, ne?"
Haruka looked at Setsuna who was wielding her staff of time-travelling doom.
"Matte!" Haruka yelled, running to Michiru's side, embracing her from behind.
"N-Nani? Haruka? Let me go!"
"No! Now Setsuna!"
With that Setsuna created circular paths in the atmosphere and they were back to being ghostly entities again.
"Hey Michi, I can feel your awesome boobs." Future-Haruka stated.
"Really, Haruka? Really?"
"Yup. Really. I can feel them."
"You think this is appropriate? At this specific time? Doing what we're currently doing?"
"If not now, when?"
"ECCHI!" Setsuna yelled and a jolt of pain landed on Haruka's ghostly head. "I don't permit sexual misconduct in the time-space continuum."
"Oh, get laid!" Haruka yelled, rubbing her head, which was useless because she got hit again.
Getting Darker eh? Well I hope you like it, but it doesn't end here. There is definitely more to come, but still I don't want it to be super dark so go look for angst else where. Hahaha. Shiori's turn is up and that one would be more fun since she's more in love with Haruka than what Yuki was...
RESPONSES:
HARUMISUMMER Hahaha. that was my intention but Yuki for me won't have that strong a connection unlike Shiori and Michiru, all will be explained in the next chapters but Haruka's past would slowly reveal itself.
Lylian I love Haru too :D I hope you still loved this little addition to the story, I needed a serious and more solid chapter to justify the mysteries behind Haruka and its bound to be dark but I still want it to be kind of silly.
PurpleIzzy Setsuna is a Goddess in every way anyways. :D I wrote this when I was younger and very confused, I'm just basically running the story on clues I left on a piece of paper. haha. Even I question my past-self, like, what? I wrote that and whoa, what a twist. I must have been on something. I swear... College days. haha.
kaila09100 Hey you, here you go, I have updated and hope you still like it!
Vientocortante I do intend to update my stories (though not all of them) on a weekly basis, I won't leave it hanging. I promise. ^^
James Birdsong Just two chapters? :(
