Minako was kneeling right next to a dizzy looking Kunzite, worriedly looking down on him.
"Are you alright?" she asked, helping him to sit up.
He looked at her, and then at his partner. Nephrite simply nodded his head, before running outside.
Kunzite turned back at Minako, trying to stand up now. But when he stumbled slightly, the blonde woman was fast to catch him, standing him.
"Careful" she said to him.
"I don't have time to be careful" he growled at her, taking his cellphone and handing it to her "Call the police" he said to her. And when he heard a gun being fired, he looked back at her "Now!" he urged, before running outside, right after his partner, following the sound of a second shot.
...
Everything happened so fast. She was jumping on Asuke one moment, and a burning, piercing pain made her cry out the next.
But she didn't stop.
She fought him with all her strength; her panic, her fear, her anger, fueling her body into action, as she tried to take the gun away from him. Trying to point it at some other place other than herself.
He pulled the trigger again, and she heard someone behind her cursing profusely, as she rolled around; Asuke still trying to move over her.
She felt him trying to straddle her, and she took her chance, lifting her knee up and meeting his groin. Hard. With all the hate, the fear, all that raw panic built up inside her concentrated on that single kick.
He gasped for air, his eyes going white, and she rolled out and away from him, standing up in one swift motion.
"You fucking bitch!" he said to her, his voice a weak yell, as his shaking hand pointed the gun at her.
She kicked his hand, sending the gun far away. And then she kicked him again, this time on his stomach. And then again on his face. And then again, and again, and again.
She didn't know how many times she kicked him, but suddenly a pair of strong arms were holding her down, stopping her from kicking that bastard again.
"Stop it!" someone yelled at her.
"Let me go!" she yelled, fighting the strong hold that was keeping her away from hitting Asuke again "Let me go! Fucking son of a bitch, I'll kill him!" she yelled again, desperately.
"Haruka, stop!" the voice yelled at her again "That's enough!"
She stopped then, as somewhere in the back of her mind she recognized the voice yelling her to stop.
She fell down to the grass on her hands and knees. Breathing hard, and trembling. She looked up at teal, worried eyes, and then at the other man there, sitting on the grass and holding a bleeding shoulder.
She blinked, not fully understanding what exactly happened, as she looked at a beaten up Asuke, laying barely conscious on the grass, near the van.
Her mind was a blur, her body trembling uncontrolled, and all she could fully comprehend were the screams coming from the van.
She saw her brother opening the sliding door of the back, and the moment her green eyes catch a sight of a crying, terribly scared little girl in there, she stood up, running to her.
"Hikari!" she cried out, extending her arms as the little girl threw herself at her, desperately crying against her chest.
Little arms encircling around her neck, as she fell down on her knees again, rocking the precious little frame in her arms, kissing her cheeks, her forehead, her nose.
"Mommy!" she cried out on her neck, trembling, desperately hanging from her mother's neck.
"I'm here, baby, I'm here" she whispered to her, kissing the girl's forehead "Are you hurt?" she asked, now looking down at her, searching her small, trembling body for any sign of a bruise.
The girl shook her head repeatedly, before crushing against her mother's chest again, and the tall blonde let out a sigh of relief, holding her daughter close.
"Haruka!" she heard someone calling out to her, before a pair of arms encircled her, and she let out a painful gasp, registering for the first time the wound on her arm "You're bleeding!"
The blonde looked down on herself.
Her skin was reaped apart, in a clean, straight line; blood sliding down her arm, the exposed flesh burned. Her sweatshirt was no longer white, covered with dirt, and blood spots all over her side. Probably from her bleeding arm.
She frowned at the sight.
She looked up again, into big, tearful blue eyes. She reached up her hand, completely ignoring the pain that traveled trough her arm, softly whipping away the tears on Michiru's cheeks. And the woman chocked out a gasp at the gesture, capturing the blonde's lips in hers.
"I'm ok" the blonde said, breaking up the kiss and looking into her eyes. Her hand still caressing Michiru's cheek.
"I love you, Ruka" she whispered softly to her. And she couldn't fight down her giggled, mixed up with a hiccup, at the blonde's surprised expression, before they kissed again.
The aquamarine haired woman rested her forehead against Haruka's, smiling through her tears, and sniffling. She looked down on the small girl then, at the same time as she looked up at them both.
Her soft green eyes full of tears. And Michiru smiled reassuringly at her, softly caressing her wet cheeks with one hand, before looking back at the tall blonde woman "I love you both" she whispered, caressing Haruka's cheek with her other hand.
A growled coming from somewhere near them got their attention, and the tall blonde woman looked at the bleeding, growling man laying there, as Kunzite was putting the handcuffs on him.
Nephrite was standing right next to him, still holding his bleeding shoulder, and looking down on Asuke. A smile came to his lips as he heard the sound of sirens nearing the house.
"Hostage lesson number one, you asshole" he said "Always empty your prisoner's pocket"
