"You would laugh." Haruka grumped, lightly hitting Hotaru on the head with the towel as she walked pass, though it was obvious that she wasn't angry at the child.
"Sorry Ruka-San." Hotaru stated, earning a chuckle.
"Sure you are brat, sure you are." Haruka retorted before glaring over at Michiru before adding "Let's go get a snack, Michiru and Setsuna can get their own."
Michiru laughed at how childish Haruka was acting but just ignored her lover.
"Hey blondie! Learn how to whisper!" Setsuna called, rolling her eyes before turning toward Michiru.
"Are you sure you're dating an adult or a toddler?"
Haruka couldn't sleep, not with the information bouncing around in her mind. Sighing she sat up, glancing over at Michiru who was sleeping peacefully.
I have to protect everyone that I care about but if these monsters are taking over people….what of those that we can't save? Can I seriously handle killing something that I know was once human?
She wondered, closing her eyes briefly before moving toward the balcony, feeling the warm breeze caress against her as if it was a beacon.
"What's wrong?"
The sudden voice caused her to jump out of her thoughts, turning toward the voice only to see Michiru standing there.
"How can you be so calm about all of this?"
She asked, earning a sigh.
"Because I want to protect those I care about….I know that if I don't then who can or will?" Michiru replied, earning a small smile.
"I guess you're right. I still don't like the idea of killing though."
Haruka replied, leaning back into her lover who wrapped her arms around her from behind.
"Well maybe we won't have to….Our princess may have enough power to stop it without that."
