Haruka panicked slightly, but calmed as she saw Rosemary press a finger to her lips and look over at the bed. Haruka looked, too, and her eyes widened in awe.
Michiru sat there, facing the open window, the moonlight illuminating her aqua hair and the sea toned kimono she now wore. "She's praying, I think," Rosemary whispered.
Haruka noticed the small flecks of magic that filled the air and caught a stray one. It danced along her fingertips before dissolving into her palm.
She smiled and was nudged by Rosemary again. "Look at her wings."
When she did she saw that they were now fully grown and gleaming a metallic silver. She stood and walked over to the bed, placing her hand on Michiru's shoulder.
"Michi?"
The girl looked back at her, eyes gleaming like stars. "Yes?"
Shaking her head, Haruka softly massaged the smaller woman's wings. "No...don't," Michiru said but it was too late. Haruka was thrown back by an invisible force but only landed on the floor.
"What was that?" Haruka asked, noticing for the first time that Rosemary had left.
Michiru looked at her. "Me."
"You? How?"
"It was my emotions. It's hard to explain, but I woke up, and something told me to pray. So I did, and I could feel someone next to me. This person told me that she would give me a special power."
"What does this have to do with emotion?"
The girl looked at her again. "This being told me my emotions would become sensitive to best allow me to find my soul mate, just as she had founds hers."
"And the energy blast?"
Michiru bit her bottom lip and looked away before replying, "It sensed that I loved you and did that when my emotions reacted with your presence."
Haruka stayed silent. Michiru loved her? Haruka thought again. She loved Michiru, too. Ever since the girl had saved her from the warrior in the village.
The blonde rose from her spot and sat beside the aqua haired woman again. "So you love me?"
"Yes, Haruka. I have for awhile. I had hoped and wished for this sort of thing. Kaiousei heard me… I know. And if you'll just give me a chance I--" She was cut short as Haruka kissed her softly.
"I love you, too, Michiru. I wished for this, too. My goddess heard me as well." She smiled at the woman before pulling her close and sighing contentedly. It was nice to know Michiru loved her, too.
A Week Later…
Michiru finally had time to write in her journal. A day after the night they pronounced their love for each other, Haruka proposed. Being a royal of the Air Temple, she was entitled to take anyone she wanted as her spouse. Michiru couldn't have been happier when she said yes. They'd been making plans for the wedding, which was to be in a few months, and just spending quality time with each other.
News spread over the kingdom. Everyone agrees that the couple is truly worthy of each other.
Michiru thought for a moment then carefully wrote.
Dear Kaiousei,
Thank you for this--all of this. I wonder if I could ever be happier. I will, of course, still be a gracious follower of your beliefs.
All my Love and Gratitude,
Princess Michiru of the Water/Air Alliance

A.N: There! It's done! ..For heaven's sake this was beginning to get on my nerves. I hope you all liked it. I promise my next story will be better…much better. Thank you for all the reviews! I'm sorry it probably didn't turn out like you expected.
