Trial
AN: Really odd Usagi/Haruka shoujo ai.
Haruka sat in her chair and watched the girl she loved the most in the world rally for her defense. Her crystalline blue eyes were filled with unshed tears, and a look of utter hopelessness was wrought under the perfectly centered crescent moon on her forehead.
"So," the calculating hard voice of Sailor Mercury assailed Haruka's ears and she turned her attention back to the proceedings, "He never forced himself on you?"
"No. Haruka did not 'force himself' on me, ever."
"Ever? Could you please rephrase that more clearly for the benefit of the court?"
"Not that I know of…"
Mercury nodded and then spun on the court. "She says 'not that she knows of! ' Is there any chance that this MAN," she sniffed disdainfully, "Could have drugged our princess?" She turned back to the Moon Princess.
"Tell me, did you ever kiss?"
"Wha-what?"
"Kiss. Did you ever kiss?"
"No… Although he did kiss me on the forehead occasionally..."
Haruka blushed at the remembrance of waking up at night to see the princess tossing around in her sleep, and comforting her, holding her close.
A sly spark ignited in Sailor Mercury's eyes and she looked squarely at Haruka when she asked her next question.
"Tell me, Serenity, did you ever WANT him to kiss you?"
Taking her gaze away from the cold stare of Mercury, Haruka gazed unhappily at the wilting Moon Princess.
"…"
"Well?" Mercury asked again, her gaze still on Haruka.
"Yes… Yes I did."
"Objection, your Honor! What does this have to do with the court case!?"
Mercury rounded on Haruka's attorney, Sailor Pluto, "I am trying to find out if possibly Serenity's loyalty to this man overshadows her sense of righteousness!"
"Are you implying I'm lying!?" the princess demanded just as Queen Serenity banged her gavel.
"That is ENOUGH, Mercury! Princess Serenity has taken the oath in front of witnesses. You don't need to question the truthfulness of her statements."
