Emergence of the White Dragon
Haruka noticed Silver Jade's sword stabbed into the ground as she picked it up.
Red Sun carried Silver Jade as Ocher Wind carried Philip back to Rani's house.
Later Rani and Philip were in separate beds in the same room. Both of them had their covers tucked in nicely. None of them had on any clothing except for bandages. Rani had bandages from her shoulder to her toe. Philip had a bandage on his side where the Rani stabbed him. Both of them lie peacefully asleep getting their rest, trying to recuperate. Usagi came in quietly and held Rani's hand.
"Rani-san...you shouldn't be like this."
Hotaru came in, when she saw Rani lying there she burst into tears.
"Gomen nasai Rani-san" she cried "it's all my fault."
Haruka came to the door and whispered to them.
"Let them rest."
"You guys make too much noise." Philip said sitting up.
Hotaru hugged him being careful not to hurt the wound in his side.
"Philip-san I'm glad you're okay." She smiled putting her head against his bare chest. He looked pretty muscular. He wasn't muscle bound but just enough to make Haruka trip.
"DAMN!" she smiled to herself.
She nervously sat next to him as he put an arm around her and hugged her gently. She smiled and hugged him back. They drew apart as Philip stroked Hotaru's hair. Usagi smiled and hugged him too as Bryce came into the doorway.
"Wow Philip you sure got the girls in here." He joked then the tone in his voice became serious. "How's Rani?"
"She's still asleep" Usagi said.
Bryce approached her then looked at Philip.
"Good to have you back." Bryce shook his hand. Suddenly the rest of the Guardians and Senshi came in the room.
"He's awake...how are you feeling...good you're okay?' they all said at once. "It's so good to have you back."
"Shut...up." someone said weakly. They all turned and saw Rani open her eyes a little.
"You ... guys are...so...loud." she whispered then she closed her eyes.
"Rani." Philip said.
"Shh come on, let's leave her alone." Justin said them everyone else walked out. Philip didn't walk out, he didn't have any clothes on.
He smirked and sunk through his dark pool. He appeared at his house. The atmosphere was cold and dark. He quickly put on a gray T-shirt and blue denim as examined his house.
"It's been a while since I was here." He said to himself. He noticed a picture of him and Rani. "Man I haven't seen her in months. I was trapped in Sen for that long? I almost killed her and I don't blame her if she hates me. Well I better go back and try to explain when she gets better, I hope."
He disappeared through a shadow and appeared through one in Rani's room. He held her hand and hung his head.
"Philip" she said softly and opened her eyes a little trying to focus on his face."
"I'm here, sweetie."
"I..."
"Shh, don't talk..."
"W-what...happened...to me?"
"While Sen, me, choked you, the Senshi fired all their attacks on you. Eventually Saturn used hers. None of us thought you were going to survive."
"My honor is more important than my life."
"I'll try to heal you okay?' he kissed her forehead and rested a hand gently on her forehead. Rani felt some of her strength coming back slowly as she opened her eyes a little more. Philip couldn't heal her to her full strength. He was so exhausted he almost fell over on her.
"Gomen nasai, my strength hasn't returned yet. So I can't heal you just yet."
"It's okay you tried your best." She whispered.
"I didn't mean for this to happen to you." He said sadly.
"I know you didn't." She smiled weakly. "I'll be okay, go talk to them outside while I get some rest."
Philip reluctantly walked out of the room.
"She okay?" Haruka asked approaching him.
"Yeah she's okay." Philip whispered.
"It's okay." She whispered hugging him and he hugged her back.
"Arigato" he said.
Michiru walked behind Philip looking at Haruka. She winked and smiled. Haruka laughed a little from what Michiru did. He let her go as he approached his friends.
"Uh huh." Michiru said.
"Oh stop it." Haruka laughed.
There was a knock at the door as Lorraine opened it.
"Hi..." Lorraine said.
"It this Rani's house." Mamoru said.
"Yeah come in."
"Mamo-chan" Usagi ran to him and hugged him as Lorraine closed the door.
"I heard what happened." Mamoru said "Gomen nasai."
"Hey Mamoru." Philip said.
"Philip...how did you... is that you?" Mamoru said shocked looking at him.
"Yup it's me."
"Oh here's something for her." Mamoru said handing Philip a rose for Rani.
"Oh that's nice."
Philip took it in the kitchen and puts it in some water. Usagi left Mamoru to talk to Bryce.
"So...how are you?" Lorraine asked.
"Okay." Mamoru said.
They started talking as Usagi was asking Bryce about the night club.
"I'm just the DJ, Usagi-chan. I don't know if I can get you in." Bryce said. Iria sat next to him as she talked to Michiru. Iria smiled as Bryce put his arm around her.
"Please..."she begged.
"Give him the puppy-dog eyes." Kimi said joining in.
"Please..." Usagi begged then Minako joined in too. Bryce and Kimi were surprised as they looked at Usagi and Minako then at each other.
"Alright but only when Rani is better okay?" Bryce said.
"Arigato" Usagi and Minako said. Usagi hugged Bryce as Minako hugged Kimi.
Rei approached Justin and asked if he was okay. She was nervous because she never really spoke to him before. He was sitting alone down on the floor thinking about his sister.
"I'm okay" Justin said.
"Are you and Rani close?"
Justin nodded.
"She'll be okay"
"I know she will." She said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Arigato." He smiled.
Setsuna was outside on Rani's patio looking at the ocean. On the ground near her foot was a cockroach. Philip walked out on the patio with Haruka, Hotaru and Jason.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Setsuna screamed and jumped into Philip's arms covering her face. Haruka and Hotaru jumped from the suddenness of Setsuna's scream. Jason laughed and saw the cockroach.
"Oh it's a baby." He stabbed it with his bladed nunchuck and picked it up like a shish-kabob.
"Woo!" Haruka smiled at Setsuna in Philip's arms. Setsuna blushed as Philip smiled putting her down.
"Oh it's not too bad see?' Jason held it up to Setsuna as she held Philip again. Everyone else laughed.
Jason threw the bug away smiling.
"We're going to check on Rani." Hotaru said and they left.
"Setsuna, I didn't mean to scare you like that.' Jason said.
"Sure you didn't" she said.
"Gomen ne, but you must admit it was pretty funny." He laughed then Setsuna laughed too.
Rani opened her eyes, sat up, then tried to get up. She looked like a mummy covered in all those bandages. Her skin was sensitive to any pressure and it hurt to move around. She walked a few steps and fell to her knees.
"Damn it. I hate being like this." She said. Philip came in with Haruka and Hotaru.
"You shouldn't be out of bed." Philip said helping her up. She suddenly felt dizzy and lost feeling in her legs. Philip caught her as she hugged him. She was so upset she almost cried.
"Why am I like this?" Rani said in a angry tone.
Hotaru began to cry again. She felt it was all her fault for the way Rani is. Haruka began to shed tears too.
"I didn't mean to...I... Gomen nasai." Hotaru said.
"None of us meant to do it." They both almost left the room.
"Hotaru , Haruka." Rani said taking a step and fell to the floor. They saw her fall and helped her up.
"Rani you okay?" they asked.
"Don't feel bad. I'm proud of you. You did what you had to do."
"Gomen..."
"Don't apologize... if you didn't do your attacks on Sen, Philip wouldn't be here. So it all worked out."
Haruka and Hotaru smiled at him.
"Do you two want to be alone?" Haruka asked.
"Sure... Arigato." Philip said then turned to Rani." I haven't seen you in months."
Haruka smiled but she felt a little hurt inside.
"Oh stop it, you're always the hopeless romantic" Rani said.
"Hotaru let's go." Haruka smiled then they left the room.
"I look like mummy." Philip smiled.
"But a kawaii mummy." Philip smiled.
"Will you stop it?"
"What?" he hugged her "I..."
"Owww!" she yelled and he took his arms away.
"You okay?'
"My skin is pretty sensitive. It hurts if I put pressure on it."
"Oh your poor thing. It's my fault."
"Why does everyone think it's their fault, it's not."
She leaned her forehead to his.
"Philip, it's not your fault, it's not the Senshi's fault. Even if I did die, I would die peacefully knowing you came back."
Philip felt his eyes get watery as he fought back tears. He kissed her and put her head against his shoulder. She slowly and very carefully wrapped her arms around him. He brought his arms up her to hold her, being careful not to put pressure on her bandages.
"My soul was restless inside Sen. I felt myself dying physically but most of all emotionally. Emotionally because I couldn't be with you anymore."
They both felt the presence of 17 people at the door. They smiled then winked at each other. "Philip that's the sappiest line I've ever heard." She yelled.
"Oh shut-up! You shouldn't talk." he yelled.
"You know I'm not the hopeless romantic type."
They both pretended to argue as everyone outside was shocked.
"Uh oh!." Mako said.
All of them pressed their ears to the door. Rani was still pretending to argue with Philip as she slowly put on her green terry bathrobe.
"EEE bad idea." Rani whispered wincing with pain and took it off. She slowly put on a light silk blue one.
"...Fine I'm leaving." Philip said opening the door. Everyone piled on top of each other falling in to the room on the floor.
"What the hell were you doing?" Rani and Philip yelled at them. All of them had embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Uh I was trying to find the bathroom...where's that kitchen...this isn't the patio...Bryce you're heavy...hey whose hand is that..." they all said at once trying to cover themselves and got up from the floor.
"Rani-san" Usagi said getting up from the floor.
"Hey you're walking and you look great." She went to Rani to give her a hug.
"Don't Usagi-chan please." Rani said putting her hands in front of her to block Usagi.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like I have a bad sun burn with aching muscles so please don't touch me."
"Please don't fight..." Usagi cried. "You two don't need to fight...please..." she cried really loud as everyone covered their ears.
"Usagi-chan it was a joke." Philip said then she stopped crying.
"It's a joke?"
"Yes...you know it's rude to eavesdrop." Rani said and everyone felt bad.
"Gomen ne." They said.
"It's okay, don't eavesdrop unless it's important for instance the enemy. You should've seen yourselves when Philip opened the door."
"That was priceless." Philip said.
Hoshiro and her Protectors were not happy.
"The Sailor Senshi are not as weak as I thought. Sen is gone and Silver Jade is recovering." Hoshiro said "you weak pathetic fools you couldn't destroy the Senshi."
"Lady Hoshiro we tried but..."
"No excuses...now I have to think of another plan."
"What are we going to do?" Shindo asked.
Hoshiro thought for a minute.
"We'll trap them in another dimension, a different time and era. Each on will be betrayed on by one."
"How?" Yumi asked.
"Leave me I need to think this out."
Later everyone went home except Hotaru, Haruka and Philip.
"Philip?" Haruka asked "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine." He smiled. "we want to ask you something."
"Sure."
Rani came in the room and carefully sat down on the sofa.
"Haruka, Hotaru-chan. The Guardians and I have a favor to ask you." She said.
"Do you still have the silver feather?" Philip asked.
"No I...put it on a rose when you died. I didn't..." Hotaru replied.
"It's okay wherever it is it'll come here." Rani said and closed her eyes. She held out her hand as a clear bubble appeared with the feather inside. The bubble popped as the feather fell lightly in her hand. She gave it to Hotaru and Haruka.
"Don't lose it" she said. "The feather is a symbol of our trust, remember? The Guardians' lives are in your hands. If anything should happen to us..."
"You and the Senshi must put your power into it. "
"What will happen next?" Hotaru asked.
"That's all you need to know just keep that promise to us." Philip said.
"We will." Haruka said "Ja ne"
'Ja ne Haruka, Hotaru chan" they said and they left.
Rani hugged Philip and felt a strange warm spot on his back. It was right behind his left shoulder.
"You've got a strange warm spot on your back." She said drawing away from him.
"It's been bugging me all day." He said moving his shoulder.
"Take your shirt off."
"Ha ha very funny." He smirked.
"I'm serious."
He took off his shirt as Rani looked at his back. On the back of his shoulder there was a small symbol of a white Chinese dragon.
"Uh you never had a tattoo did you?'
"I would've told you if I had one."
"You have one..."
"WHAT?" he said surprised and tried to look at his back. He ended spinning around in circles a few times. He raced to her bathroom looking in the mirror.
"What's happening to me?"
"Maybe you have some of Sen's power still."
"So the next time I change I could be that monster again?"
"I hope not."
"We'll have to wait okay. I won't change yet."
Haruka and the rest of the Senshi were at Kamon again having dinner. She thought about Philip a few times while they all talked, every time she smiled too.
"Haruka-san why are you so happy?" Mako asked.
'Yeah you have been unusually happy lately." Minako said.
"Oh it's nothing." She said playing it off.
Just then Jason came in the restaurant and talked to the hostess at the from desk. Setsuna ran up to him hugging him then he hugged her back.
"Okay now this is a little weird." Rei said.
Setsuna came back to her seat and sat down smiling. Jason came by carrying a paper bag of food.
"Hi" he smiled.
"What are you doing?" Usagi asked Jason.
"Bryce ordered take out so I had to pick it up." He joked I'm his errand boy. Hey I gotta go Ja ne." he said and left.
"You like him Setsuna-san?" Ami asked.
"We're just friends" Setsuna smiled.
"Okay Haruka." they said.
"She'll tell you if she wants..." Michiru said then Haruka put a hand on hers.
"It's okay..." Haruka said.
She took a deep breath.
"I'm attracted to Philip." She said quietly. The rest of the Senshi, except Michiru, dropped their jaws.
"NO WAY!" they all said surprised.
"It's true." Michiru said
"Don't say anything to anyone okay?" Haruka asked. "I'm not telling either of them. If I tell them I'll be so ashamed to show my face. Please keep this a secret?" The Senshi nodded and became very quiet.
Rani tried rubbing Philip's tattoo off with a wet cloth. It wasn't working and she sighed.
"Hey I kind of like it" she laughed.
"Rani" Philip said "I don't want this thing on my back."
"I'm sure it's harmless."
"You don't know that."
"Well I know Haruka likes you."
Philip put on his shirt and turned to her.
"What?"
"She's attracted to you."
"How..."
"I see the way she looks at you."
He put a hand to the side of her face.
"I'm not worried about it. I trust both of you." She said.
"Rani, I love you, I'll never leave you." He said.
"I love you too...it's okay don't worry about it." They smiled and hugged each other.
Elaine called Mako that evening.
"Hey Mako-chan?"
"Elaine-san how can I help you?" Mako said.
"Um well I feel stupid for saying this but I need help in my cooking."
"Is it that bad?"
"I can't cook to save my life..." Elaine said "I almost put Rani's house on fire. I know how to put stuff in it but it comes out as a disaster."
"Okay tomorrow I'll help you."
"Arigato" Elaine said and hung up.
Bryce and Jason were both on break so they had dinner.
"So you talking to Setsuna?" Bryce joked with Jason.
"We're just friends... she's nice. Talk to Iria?"
"Not really I saw her today. We didn't talk much though I guess she's been so busy. She's been so serious lately that I don't think I know her anymore."
"She keeps to herself a lot lately."
"I'm not that bad am I?" Iria said hugging Bryce. He looked at her and had a worried look on his face.
"Gomen ne..." Bryce said.
"It's okay, I have to apologize too. The museum is very busy lately and it's so much stress. With Michiru's weekly performances and all" she laughed a little. "You missed me didn't you?"
"Nah" he smiled putting her arm around her then kissed her forehead "of course I did."
"Oh geez..." Jason said rolling his eyes.
Justin came in and smiled.
"Hey guys." He smiled coming in the room.
"Hey Justin how's Rani? they asked.
"She's okay. She gave Hotaru and Haruka the feather.
"What?"
"Hotaru and Haruka."
"What if they have to use it?" Iria asked.
'We all pledge our lives to the Silver Millennium and the galaxy."
They all hung their heads.
Lorraine was in Yaohan doing some grocery shopping when she bumped into Mamoru.
"Hi" Mamoru said
"How are you?" she smiled
"I'm okay..."
"How's Usagi-chan?"
"She's worried about Rani?"
"Rani's fine...she's a very strong leader."
"She's the youngest?"
"Yeah..."
"She's got a lot of responsibility..."
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Want to go and get some tea?" he asked.
"Sure."
The next day Michiru approached Iria.
"Iria-san. I want to thank you for helping me in my passion for music."
"No problem." Iria smiled.
"Just do me for favor."
" When you get your first album, autograph it for me." Iria said.
"I will." Michiru said.
Rani was at home and thought it would be a good idea to stay in bed. She heard the doorbell and got up slowly. Still covered in bandages she got our of bed, put on her bathrobe, and answered the door after hearing the doorbell ring a few times.
"Alright, Alright" Rani said and opened the door. On her doorstep she saw Minako and Kimi.
"Nurse Minako here to nurse you back to health."
Rani slammed the door in her face. (for those who have seen that episode.)
"Rani-san let me in." Minako said.
"I heard what you did to Rei and Usagi."
"Rani" Kimi said "please let us in."
Rani opened the door as Minako and Kimi came in. Minako raised her arms to hug Rani. Rani took a step back holding up a hand as Minako stopped.
"Please don't touch me, I'd kill you if you did." Rani said nicely.
The doorbell rang again. She opened the door as Philip and Haruka were standing on her doorstep. Philip approached Rani as they kissed each other's cheeks. Haruka came in quietly and said hi to everyone else. Philip put Rani's head against his shoulder and smiled.
"I swear you two are married." Minako said.
"Hey honey, what time are you coming home tonight?" Rani asked Philip
"Probably early we have to take care of those house payments remember?"
"SEE I THOUGHT..." Minako said.
"Are you two really married?" Haruka asked "I didn't..."
"We're not" Rani said laughing "I'm too young."
"Yeah we're both too young." Philip said
"Are you planning to?" Minako asked.
"C'mon we're only 20 years old. We got too many things going on."
Meanwhile Usagi, Rei and Mako and Ami were bowling. Usagi had tons of gutter balls. All of them were just learning they wanted to try something new. Five guys in the next lane were laughing at them.
"Hey we're just learning." Usagi said.
Bryce came up to them and said hi. The five guys noticed Bryce.
"Oh it's them" Bryce said looking at the five guys. They all had matching shirts of the same color, which were gray. They were obviously in a league.
"Hey Bryce, how about a little competition."
"Not it's okay"
"CHICKEN!" they said and imitated one in front of the Senshi.
"Tomorrow, us five against your five."
"Okay." Bryce said without thinking, then they went back to their game.
"You know what you just did?" Usagi asked.
"Why did I do that?" Bryce said smacking his forehead.
"Bryce what did you do?" Iria took his hand as Michiru followed her.
"They challenged us to a competition tomorrow."
"Bryce, I told you to try to control you temper."
"I know..."
One of the guys winked at Iria.
"Hey baby, you don't need this guy." He smiled.
Bryce was going to kill him until Iria held him back. The guy went back to his friends.
"Don't worry they're going down tomorrow." Iria said.
Bryce kissed her cheek as they both smiled at each other.
"You two are dating?" Rei asked.
"Yeah" Iria smiled hugging Bryce.
"You two are so..." Mako said.
"Different." Michiru said.
Their relationship is in fact a very different one. Iria was mature, sophisticated, and took her director job seriously. She was always busy so she didn't spend time with Bryce too much. Bryce was immature at times, silly, playful and sweet. He would do anything for Iria though.
"You know how to bowl?" Ami asked.
"We're not that good." Bryce said modestly. "Let's go."
They walked outside and bumped into Nami and Yumi.
"Nami" Rei said.
"Yumi" Ami said.
"Silver Jade, tell her we're here for her." They said.
"She's in no condition to fight you." Iria said.
"It's okay." Silver Jade said approaching them.
She brought out her chain whip.
"Are you crazy you can't fight in your condition." Iria said. "No I'm not going to let you do this. I'm going to fight them."
She and Bryce closed their eyes as wind blew around them. Their clothes changed into their ninja suits and they held out their katanas.
Silver Jade extended her chain-whip as it turned into a halberd with one nasty looking blade at the end. Philip and Kimi watched from a distance with Haruka and Minako.
"Senshi." Sepia Oak said, "Go, get out of here."
The Senshi left as they met with Philip and the rest of them. They stopped to watch with them.
"Rani can't fight in here condition." Usagi said.
"She's stubborn" Philip said. "I'll help her if she needs help."
Silver Jade swung her halberd at Nami's head, stomach, and legs. Nami dodged her attacks and swung her bladed ring at the Guardian. She quickly jumped out of the way and landed on her feet. Sepia Oak grabbed Silver Jade and disappeared in the air. He appeared in front of Philip.
"You shouldn't fight. Kimi, C'mon take her place." Sepia Oak said.
Kimi instantly changed into Indigo Jade and followed Sepia Oak to the battle ground. Silver Jade changed back into her normal self.
"You okay?" the Senshi asked.
"Yeah I'm fine I can do this."
"You better not." Philip said. "We don't want to lose you like we almost did last time."
She smiled
"Thanks for looking after me. I guess I'm not used to be looked after."
"You're too busy looking after us." Philip smiled.
Yumi and Nami both threw their rings at Sepia Oak and Indigo Jade. The rings flew through the air and miss their targets. The Guardians dodged their attacks with ease by flipping out of the way. Black Jade stood by as she heard a haunting sound of a flute. She turned and saw Fuji playing his flute. The little imp smiled wickedly. He kicked her shin and she grabbed him and through him against the tree. He froze for a minute and stood up playing his flute again. Black Jade covered her ears the tone was so high it could make someone go deaf if heard for a long period of time. Fuji jumped on her shoulders and held her neck with the flute choking her.
"Fuji you asshole get off me." She yelled.
"You sure are a feisty one aren't you?" Fuji said.
The Senshi brought out their henshin sticks. Philip and Rani stopped them before they transformed.
"Don't let them fight it themselves." Philip said.
"But..." Haruka said
"Please try to understand they have to do this. The odds wouldn't be fair." Rani said.
Sepia Oak was against Nami. She threw a punch at his head as he grabbed her fist and kicked her in the head. He knocked her hard in the stomach as she keeled over. When Nami bent over Sepia Oak elbow-jabbed her back. She fell to the ground but was able to do a leg sweep. Sepia Oak fell to the ground as he tried to get up as fast as he could. She grabbed his face and threw him quickly into the ground. He was stunned and was unable to move. Nami held her bladed ring against his neck.
Indigo Jade and Yumi were clashing sword against ring. Yumi kicked her opponent in the face. Indigo Jade's nose bled. You could tell in her eyes she was mad. Yumi quickly threw her ring as it flew around Indigo Jade. The ring ripped up her outfit and gave her many cuts. Yumi did a crushing leg kick on her shoulder and sent the Guardian on the ground. She held her ring to her opponent's neck too.
Black Jade was still stuggling with Fuji on her back. Yakumo appeared and held Black Jade in his grasp. He held her arms and held her waist against him. Fuji got off her shoulders and held her legs. Black Jade couldn't move.
"Good job." Yakumo said.
"It wasn't that hard." The twins said.
"Hey let's have some fun with this little one." Yakumo said hold Black Jade tightly.
"Yeah let's start with her neck." Fuji said "you want to break it or shall I?"
Sepia Oak felt rage inside him. He knocked Nami's ring out of her hand then hit her hard in her stomach and head. He knocked her out and sent her attention to Yumi. He stood still and closed his eyes. His tree staff was in his hand as sent tree branches from the ground holding Fuji, Yumi, and Nami. Yakumo grasped Black Jade and strangled her. Sepia Oak heard her scream but Yakumo was able to send an attack to him while holding Black Jade. Indigo Jade stood up and raised her umbrella starting the Water Blade attack.
"Don't." Bryce said to her "you'll hurt Black Jade."
Philip stood by and was about to change but Rani stopped him.
"Rani, I have to, even if I turn into that monster again I have to chance that." Philip said.
She nodded then he changed into his Guardian form. He was still black and white but he had some slight differences about him. He has a his staff but it was in the shape of a twisted Chinese dragon. His headband and belt had the symbol of the dragon also. He ran into the battlefield and started an attack. He raised his staff as a white spirit flew out of it.
Yakumo charged up his energy getting ready to send a powerful attack at the Guardians.
"Say your prayers." Yakumo said.
The Guardians looked toward the tall black and white figure then smiled.
"Say your own." The Guardians smiled.
All the Protectors turned to see what they were looking at. All of a sudden they saw was a huge white dragon spirit pick them up, spin them around madly and smash them into the ground creating a huge crater. The Protectors got up slowly and disappeared.
"We'll be back." They said.
The Guardians turned back to their normal forms except the one in black and white.
Iria held Bryce tightly.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm okay." She smiled. "Kimi you okay?"
"Yeah I need some bandages but I'll be okay." She smiled
Rani and the rest of the Senshi approached them.
"You didn't turn into Sen after all. You're also no longer the White Ninja." she said to him
"I know... I guess I still have some of Sen's power." He lowered his mask, Haruka smiled as the Senshi looked at her.
"Damn he's so fine!" she said to herself. "Even though he's changed he still look good in that ninja suit." She noticed the Senshi looking at her. To cover herself up from embarrassment she coughed.
"You're not a monster." Rani said
"I am now the White Dragon, Silver Jade" he said and put a hand to her face.
"Nice ring." She smiled.
"Yeah your old title was boring." Bryce said then Iria hit him.
"It fits you." Iria said.
The White Dragon changed back into his normal form. Haruka looked at Michiru with a serious look on her face.
"I need to talk to you." Haruka said.
"Okay." Michiru said.
They left saying good bye to everyone. They walked to the park as Haruka said nothing.
"Michiru, you're my best friend..." Haruka said.
"You're mine too."
Michiru sat down on the ground as Haruka leaned against a tree.
"It's Philip right?" Michiru asked.
"I don't know. I feel so bad about this He's totally in love with Rani. Why am I attracted to him?"
"Haruka..."
"Rani knows."
"She does?"
"She's a Guardian, she's not stupid."
"Well..."
"I don't want to hide things from her it'll ruin the friendship she and I have. Should I let her know? Should I tell her?"
"If you and Rani have a strong friendship you should be honest with her. If she can't understand that then she's not worth having as a friend."
Haruka began to shed tears and sunk to the ground.
"This is the first guy I..."
"Are you in love with him?"
"Michiru, I don't know... I'm really confused."
"It's okay Haruka." Michiru whispered hugging her "we both know how it's like to lose someone you love." Michiru felt herself shedding a few tears too.
