Glancing over at Tsuki's sleeping form Haruka couldn't help but to smile. Knowing that the fifteen year old seemed at ease while she slept, despite the trying events of that day. However the blonde wasn't at peace with this, No...the thoughts of the girl crying herself to sleep bothered her.
"Kitten, wake up." she called softly, being careful with her touch so not to startle her.
"How long have I been out?" Tsuki whispered, her voice thick from sleep.
"since we left the restaurant." Haruka answered as she helped the younger teen out of the car, balancing half of her weight against herself as they headed toward the house.
"I'm going to bed." Tsuki stated once they got inside, however Haruka stopped her.
"Will you be alright?" the tomboy asked gently, forcing the younger teen to make eye contact with her, noticing that even now the fifteen year old's shone slightly with sadness.
"yeah." Tsuki whispered, rolling her eyes as she pulled away and headed upstairs.
"she's messed up." Setsuna said softly as she walked over to where Haruka was.
"I'm really worried about her Sets...I have never saw anything like this in anyone. Its like she's shut down completely ." Haruka stated with a sigh, anger in her tone.
"its not your fault and you are at least trying to show her different." Setsuna stated, putting her hand on the blonde's shoulder.
"I wish there was some way that we could cheer her up." the tomboy stated with a sigh.
"Tomorrow morning we'll work something out. Its late, we should all be in bed." Michiru stated from the doorway.
"okay...but I want to make sure she's okay." Haruka answered.
When she entered the bedroom Haruka couldn't help but smile because her half sister had curled up beneath the cover and had her arms wrapped tight around one of the pillows that was on the bed.
"poor girl...Excuse me while I go talk to some little girls about something." Setsuna stated before walking off.
"you don't think..." Michiru began with a knowing smile.
"at the moment I don't care what Setsuna does..." Haruka replied as they too left the room.
Tsuki awoke with a start, her heart pounding at her ribs as she sat up. The dream still replaying repetitively in her minds eye, though only one phrase—spoken by her sister in the dream—stuck with her.
"You are worthless, No one will ever love you!"
Tsuki walked downstairs only to bump into someone taller than her.
"You were screaming...I was just about to come check on you." Setsuna stated softly, helping the younger girl steady herself.
"sorry." Tsuki whispered, only to feel a light hand run through her hair.
"want to talk about it?" the time guardian asked gently.
"I don't want to bother anyone." Tsuki answered with a small glance down as she pulled away.
"it won't be no bother, I couldn't sleep anyway." the long haired woman replied softly, leading her toward the sofa and seating herself beside of her before adding "now tell me what happened?"
Tsuki gulped slightly before beginning to speak "I dreamed that I screwed up as Eclipse...and that everyone turned against me...even...even Haruka...hated me."
The detail was scarce but Setsuna knew that despite all of that there was a bit of truth behind the words.
"if you screw up Haruka might lecture you and might even kick you in the pants to get you to focus but as far as hating you...No one is going to do that." Setsuna assured with a sigh before adding "you should get to bed...who knows the next next time that Shin will attack."
