Tsuki couldn't sleep, her mind a whirl of suppressed memories and questions that burned at the core of her very being. She vaguely wondered what it was like back in the silver millennium since the few memories that she had depicted that neither her nor Pluto got along, however that couldn't have been true, or at least not completely.
Sighing she got out of bed and wrapped herself into the thick robe that someone had left by her bed for her.
I wish I wasn't sick….I need to get out and clear my head."
She thought as she walked down the long dark hall, only to hear the sound of crying a few minutes later.
What the frilly hell?
She wondered, slipping into the children's room, only to find Pallapalla sitting on the floor, crying softly while Cerecere sat on the bed, a hand pressed to her forehead.
"What happened?"
Tsuki asked, causing them both to jump nearly out of their skins.
"Shit! Tsuki, don't do that!" Cerecere panted, the words setting Tsuki on edge because the pink haired girl usually never cursed.
"Sorry...I just heard her crying and wondered what was wrong."
Tsuki stated honestly, only to be nearly tackled in a hug in the next moment by Pallapalla.
Placing a hand on the young girl's hair she turned her attention toward Cerecere who was shifting uncomfortably.
"She had a nightmare."
The pink haired child stated, her voice void of all emotion, though this just acted as another red flag for Tsuki.
"What about you, Froufrou? Why are you so on edge?"
She asked, putting one arm around Pallapalla and making her way toward the bed and sitting beside the pink haired child.
"It's nothing."
Cerecere responded sharply, causing Tsuki to sigh as she pulled Pallapalla onto her lap.
"Sure it is Cerecere. Otherwise you would have bitten my head off for calling you Froufrou." Tsuki retorted, earning a groan from the eleven year old.
"FIne….If I tell you will you just go away?"
She retorted, earning a snort in response.
"That's a possibility." Tsuki answered, glancing down at Pallapalla who suddenly buried her face into her chest.
Cerecere sighed and pulled her knees against her torso as she mentally prepared herself to open up.
It'll change the way they see us….We don't need their pity.
She thought, only to be jarred out of her thoughts by a hand squeezing her shoulder.
"Just tell me what you feel comfortable with." Tsuki advised softly.
"I really don't know where to begin. I mean...We lived in a orphanage for a while and the woman there….Didn't like us very much." Cerecere stated, her voice wavering as she spoke, prompting Tsuki to wrap an arm around her.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that." She stated, causing the girl to shudder.
"That's not the worse of it."
Cerecere's voice cracked as she spoke, flaring up yet another red flag for the fifteen year old.
"You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to." Tsuki repeated, watching as tears slowly began to make their way down the teen's cheeks.
"No, you should know."
She sniffed, suddenly grabbing Tsuki's hand as if to find comfort.
"Froufrou, listen to me. You are not obligated to tell me or anyone else anything." Tsuki muttered, brow creasing as she became increasingly worried by the pre-teen.
"I had to do whatever they asked...even things that were wrong! I didn't ask to be…..to be hurt! Junjun and Vesves tried to help but it only got them hurt, if I just let them do what they wanted to me they would leave my sister's alone. Pallapalla got hit just for crying! I just….Just knowing that we are safe here is almost too much!"
Cerecere stated, dissolving into loud sobs.
Tsuki didn't even think twice about pulling the eleven year old against her side, letting her cling to her.
"Cerecere….I understand this more than anyone. I may aggravate you and your sisters but if you need anything at all no matter at what time, come to me." Tsuki whispered softly.
Haruka sighed as she lay awake, feeling something uneasy in the air currents.
What the hell is this? The last time I felt this was with the death busters and again with Galaxia and this is more calm...Not angry like before but almost nervous.
She thought, closing her eyes only to see a strange shimmering light bursting at her eyelids.
Sailor Uranus,
Listen to your heart in the events that is to become. Do not allow your emotions to overwhelm you nor allow your own pain stop you.
