*Note:If you held off from reading the bio because of the spoilers,it's safe to read it now.*
At Rei's house(temple):
"Well girls,gather around,this is as I said,will take awhile."Luna instructs. Usagi is in tears,"She meant it guys,if it wasn't for Pluto,Ki would have killed me right there.I've never seen that look in her eyes nefore,it was so cold and lost,and even angry,I-",Usagi then breaks down completely. Rei and Ami are the first to rush over and comfort her."She's just angry.",says Ami. "Yeah,she really doesn't mean it.", Rei chimes in.
Mamoru walks in and Usagi rushes into his arms."If you would all sit down,I don't want to be here all night!",Luna says sternly. Everyone finds a seat and gets adjusted.
"As you all heard,Earth is actually the true princess.It all began in the time before the Silver Millenium,all of you were still princesses in your own planets' kingdoms. The Uranus royal family was taking a vacation to Earth,the queen was pregnant with Sailor Earth at this time. Uranus was almost 3 years old,the family planned to spend two weeks vacationing on Earth before the meeting of the royal courts.You see,since this is before the Silver Millenium,there was no one kingdom,but seperate ones that met together. All the kingdoms met there because Earth had yet to have a kingdom,it was considered a nuetral planet.
As luck would have it,the queen gave birth to Earth during thier vacation.They decided to name her 'Earth' since there was no Earth kingdom and they already had a princesses Uranus. As Uranus and Earth got older,there was talk amongst the planet Uranus' people about which sister would rule as heir. The sisters were very close and it tore thier hearts apart to see the people fighting this way. So,at only being a teenager,Earth made a decision all on her own.She believed the right to the throne belonged to Uranus,she was the oldest and born on the planet,so she could draw on it's power. Earth decided to leave for planet Earth,the planet where she was born.
She packed her things,left her family a note, and left. When Earth arrived,the people of Earth overwhelmingly accepted her.The people wanted a kingdom to unite thier planet,but it took one of not only of a pure heart born on thier planet,but one of devine power as well. Elysion was still a part of Earth,their fated ruler was to be the one who could pick up and harness the power of the golden crystal from Elysion. Many had tried and failed,the people urged Earth to try,she didn't want the responsibility,but she finally gave in..."
"Wait!Isn't Mamoru-?" "I'm getting to that Usagi,,don't interrupt." "Sorry Luna." "*Sigh*Mamoru one of the irst people she met when she came to Earth.They became very good friends,I'll get back to him in a moment..."
At Michiru's Living Room:
Setsuna,Ki(Nakushita),and Hotaru just heard the message on the machine,Michiru had to take Haruka to the hospital.
"You didn't really mean what you said,did you Nakushita? You're not really going to harm our princess,are you?",questions Setsuna."Yes,I am dead serious,Setsuna.She knew,she knew of the yoma who killed my mother,and where was she?!-On a date with Mamoru!" "You don't know that for-"
"Yes I do!Setsuna,I do!",Ki tries hard to hold back her tears. "Abd what about Haruka?! Hugh?! She stands there and just yells her name! She made no effort..." ""Calm down Nakushita. Hotaru,are you going to stick around,or-"
"Um,no Setsuna,I'm gonna head back to the university.Let me know about Haruka-papa,will you?" "Yes Hotaru,you know I will."
"Oh,aunt Nakushita?" "Yes Hotaru? You're older than I am,you don't have to call me aunt." "Yeah,um,it'll be okay.",she says as she hugs Setsuna and Ki(Nakushita) goodbye.
"Setsuna?" "Yes Nakushita?" "Have you realized that since comming here, I've turned your lives upside down. I-" "Don't even talk like that! I have watched you grow up from my post,true,you've had alot of trying times,but you are not a curse. Your sister loves you.You have filled an empty space in Haruka's heart,don't you ever forget that. Without you and Michiru,Haruka,well,let's not even think about it. Are you ready to go?" "Yeah,let me get my keys." "No,I'll drive.",Setsuna replies.
Back at Rei's temple:
"Anyway,to make a long story short,Earth also became friends with Helios as well and he gave her the golden crystal.The crystal accepted her and she was immediately made the queen of Earth. She then,in turn, deemed Helios as the permanent guardian of Elysion and of the crystal and knighted Mamoru.She met you and the other princesses at the next and finalkingdom conferance.Uranus was prohibited by her parents to attend,they knew that if Uranus came to Earth,she would refuse to leave.The sisters relayed messages to each other through Pluto and Neptune.Uranus and Earth missed each other greatly.Earth became good friends with you Usagi,and introduced you to Mamoru,you know the storyabout you two from there.Not long after that is when the Negaforce started destroying the kingdoms.The Earth's and the Moon's kingdoms were the only ones still intact and is where all the survivors took thier refuge.However,the Moon Kingdom needed alot of repairs,so Earth being the only kingdom completely intact,was proclaimed 'kingdom of our solar system'."
"I'm confused Luna." "Shut up Usagi!",Rei bellows. "Besides,Ami is taking notes.",Minako chimes in.
"Ahem! As I was saying! It didn't take long for the Moon Kingdom to get repaired and for the Negaforce to begin it's attack on Earth.There were millions of yoma,the only way that the planet even had a chance at being saved was for Earth to use her 'Totatl Destruction' attack.Before doing this,she gave Mamoru the crystal and proclaimed him as "prince of the Earth' and gave the Moon Kingdom the rights to be kingdom of our solar system.She was finally able to see her sister ,but it was bitter sweet as she bid Uranus farewell.She did her 'Total Destruction' attack,and that's basically the start of the Silver Millenium.",Luna says,wrapping it up.
Now,the inner senshi knew why Haruka and Ki(Nakushita) were so protective of one another,they now understood why Ki was so mad at Usagi. Everything was starting to make sense,and each vowed in thier heart that history would not repeat itself.
At Tokyo Hospital:
Setsuna and Ki(Nakushita) run frantically in the halls until they find Michiru.
"Michiru,how is she?!",Ki exclaims.Michiru cries as she runs to hug Ki(Nakushita)."Nakushita,I'm so glad you're here.I'm so scared." Ki hugs Michiru,trying to comfort her.Seeing Michiru like this,she realizes her sister's condition is bad.She tries to fight back the tears that are streaming down her face.She tries to be strong for her friend,knowing two basket cases wouldn't help the situation.Setsuna,the strong one,begins to cry as well."CAn I see her?",Ki questions. "They won't let anyone into the room,not until a family member fills out the paper work.",Michiru cries."We'll see about that,Setsuna,please stay with Michiru."
Ki walks up to the front desk."May I help you?",asks the nurse behind the counter. I'm here to fill out some papaers for Haruka Tenoh." "What is the relationship with the patient?" "I'm Haruka's sister and I want to know why you didn't let Michiru fill these out,she knows more about Haruka than I do!" "Ma'am,Im sorry,only family can,it's our policy,do you have any id?" Ki pats her pokets and remebers that Haruka had all the id that could verify her being her sister."Haruka had it.""I'm sorry,I won't be able to let you fill out-"
"What's going on here?",questions a woman,it was Ami's mom and she was with Setsuna and the wheeping Michiru."Nurse,let this girl fill out the forms." "But doctor,I-" "These ladies are friends of my daughter..."
After a few more moments of arguing and debating,Ami's mom was able to get the forms for Ki to fill out,with alot of help from Michiru. The girls then walked to room 249-A,where laid Haruka,there where tubes and monitors everywhere.She was badly cut and bruised as well,all and all,she looked like a scince project that went wrong. Even though she was asleep,you could tell that Haruka was in tremendous pain. Michiru sat next to her love and gently took her hand.Haruka grunted with pain and Michiru let go,feeling guilty that she just hurt her Haruka.Setsuna was reading Haruka's chart,and Ki? She walked out,she couldn't stomache it. Her sister was lying there,practically lifeless,and she did nothing.She wasn't there in time to help.That blast should have been for her....
She had to punch something,there was only the wall,so she hit it,feeling nothing at all and not at all surprised that her hand busted through.Setsuna walks up to her,"Picking on innocent,defenseless walls are we?",Setsuna questions.Ki says nothing,she leans htoward the wall and lowers her head."I'll be back Setsuna,there's something I forgot at the house." Ki(Nakushita)takes off in Setsuna's car...
About an hour later,Ki returns with a recorded cassette tape and a mini cassette player.She walks into the room where Michiru aand Setsuna were now on either side of Haruka. She hands them to Michiru,"I'm not good with wordsMichiru,never really have been,not really,but this song,something tells me that you and Haruka should hear it.*Sigh*It seems to be the perfect song for you two right now.",she again leaves the room and sits in a chair outside the room's entrance.
Michiru begins to play the song,immediately,she recognizes that this is not the music that Nakushita normally listens to,this song is sweet and harmonic,not hard and loud. The lyrics started,"You're my sunshine after the rain.You're the cure against my fear and my pain.'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around.It's all(It's all)because of you..." Michiru begins to wheep.
