Framed!
When the Moon court's in session, I'm not sure whether or not I got the whole 'court' theme right, 'cause I've never been in a court. Sorry if it's not that accurate.
Waking up slightly later than usual this morning, I rolled over in bed to find Michiru standing on the balcony, up and dressed in her formal dress, a sea green, floor length thing made of mostly floaty material. She turned, smiling about something, and saw me lying in bed, still sleepy and watching her. "Quickly, Ruka, up you get, you'll be late for the court." Groaning, I got up and looked at the formal dress the maid had laid out for me. It was the same as Michiru's, only navy blue. "I am not wearing that." I said in a flat voice. "Well, don't, then," yawned Michiru. Shaking my head, I dressed in a navy blue tuxedo.
When we were both ready to leave, we positively dashed down the hall. When we met the other girls, I looked at their formal dresses in disgust. They were all the same style. Ami was wearing blue, Makoto was wearing green and Minako was wearing yellow. After the inspection, I noticed, to my surprise, that we weren't the last people there after all. "Where's Usagi?" Ami shrugged. "Still sleeping, I guess." I sighed. "I'll go get her, she can't be late!" (Sarcasm.)
Walking back down the hallway, I got those bad vibes again. Cautiously, I pushed open Usagi's door. I was met with a horrible mess, but no Usagi. I looked around, wrinkling my nose at the mess. Suddenly, something on the floor caught my eye. I moved over, carefully dodging crumpled piles of clothes and food wrappers. I leant down to pick them up, and stopped, threw myself back, and found myself covered in clothes and food wrappers. It was a blood covered glove and knife. I screamed, and scrambled to my feet. Spinning around, I found myself face to face with the murderous Queen of the Moon, who was wearing her formal dress, a white one with gold hoops round the top. "You murdering bitch!" I screamed at her. She looked at me calmly before saying in a very bored tone: "Yes. She was getting a bit tiresome. But you know, the real beauty of it is, that since it's the court of the Moon, they be prejudiced in my favour. I. will not get caught. But someone else will. I'll make sure of it. I will make sure you are accused. And if their punishment doesn't kill you. I will."
Not wanting to hear any more, I ran back down the hallway, and took a seat next to Michiru in the courtroom, just as everyone was called to order. She gazed at me curiously, but didn't say anything. "Now," said the judge, "we are here to discover the murderer of the Queen of Mars, Sailor Mars, Rei Hino. She was found stabbed in the chest, with her throat slit. First, we must call to the stand the Queen of Uranus, Sailor Uranus, Haruka Tenoh." I rose to my feet, and walked slowly to the stand. "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" I looked at the floor. "Yes." He cleared his throat. "Now, from some DNA tests that some of my staff did, we know it was one of the Queens that murdered Miss Hino. Ma'am, would you know who killed this woman?" I took a deep breath. "Yes. It was Usagi Tsukino. I went into her room this morning, because she was late and I went looking for her. I found, on the floor of her room, a pair of bloody gloves, and a knife." As I told the story, I felt the scorn from all these moonies. They weren't going to believe me. Usagi was right! When I finished, I trudged back to my seat, feeling numb, as 'the Queen of the Moon, Sailor Moon, Usagi Tsukino' was called to the stand. I listened in shock to her blame me, even breaking into fake tears at one point, and waiting for everybody to feel sorry for her before going on. I looked around with a feeling of dread. They were hanging on her every word, and looking at her, adoringly surprised at what a poor, brave woman she was. After we heard a few more statements from Rei's parents, Setsuna and Ami, they had a little judges/jury only meeting that lasted for around five minutes. Finally, they gave their verdict. "We have found that the one who brutally murdered the late Queen of Mars was.
"Haruka Tenoh!" At that final word, he slammed down his gavel. I sat in shock, while an excited murmur of voices rose in volume around me until it was almost unbearable. I had been framed!
Tell me how I went with this chapter. I'm sorry my chapters haven't been too long yet. They will get longer. Okay, in the next chapter, find out everyone's reaction. And what will Michiru do? I'll try to post it by next weekend.
