Chapter 10
At Uranus...
"..So that means I'll be able to take a queen. And you..." Haruka smiled as she got dressed, hoping Michiru would get the hint.
"..Could be your queen," Michiru had caught on.
Haruka nodded and kissed Michiru's forehead. "Shall we go to my parents' chambers?" Haruka asked quietly, offering her arm, which Michiru took, and they walked to the royal chambers of the rulers of Uranus.
"So you want to marry Michiru?" Haruka's father again asked, staring out the window into the blotchy blue sky.
"Yes, that way I could relieve you both of your duties and be able to cause a lasting peace with Neptune. And I would be happy with Michiru by my side," Haruka answered, holding her lover's hand tightly.
"It is a good idea, Koro," The queen said, grinning as her husband winced at being called his real name, and went back to her hand stitching of a kingfisher.
"Very well. A ceremony shall be held to hand over the throne to Haruka. The people know how strong willed you are and will respect you, woman or not," The king spoke to Haruka, eyeing his daughter.
Haruka smiled and bowed silently to show her thanks, then hugged her mother and Michiru.
Upon returning to her room, the couple shared a long kiss before sitting to discuss the ceremony. It was to be held tomorow, and by that time almost everyone in the galaxy would know the news, despite the distance.
"I hope everything goes well, Haruka," Michiru said, leaning against the blonde and holding onto her hand.
"You act like you won't see it. You'll be there, next to me. I'll have a suprise for you."
"Really? What is it?" Michiru looked up at Haruka, who only grinned.
"I'm not telling," Haruka babbled in a teasing, sing-song way.
"'Ruka! No fair!!" Michiru cried and grabbed Haruka by the shoulders, ruffling her blonde hair. "Tell me or I'm afraid I shall have to beat you severely about the head and shoulders."
Haruka grinned. "You wouldn't get that far..." The blonde purred, pouncing on Michiru and cuddling against her.
The aqua haired captive squirmed, giggling until tears streamed down her face and she begged Haruka to spare her.
"And why should I?" Haruka grinned, wiggling her invisible neko tail. A quick move and her hands slid to Michiru's sides, and the blonde began to tickle her captive like mad.
Michiru laughed and squirmed, begging Haruka to stop but unable to say anything that made sense. Tears fell from Michiru's eyes as her lover mercilessly tickled her.
Haruka let up and held Michiru to let her catch her breath. She hummed softly and smiled as Michiru fell asleep in her arms.
It was dark outside. The talk had lasting a while, to talk about the preparations and when it was to be. It was no wonder that Michiru was tired. Tomorow would be a long day and Haruka found herself falling into sleep's arms as well.
Haruka barely stirred as a few maids came into the room to set down Michiru's dress and her suit. They also tucked the couple into bed and continued about their business...
