Chapter 2: Reflections


Michiru and Haruka stared in shock at the couple on the stone floor. They couple in question seemed not to notice the change from bed to floor, and continued kissing heatedly. Michiru giggled slightly as she saw that Haruka was looking quite proud of her past self's apparent conquests of the Neptune princess. The pair rose from the floor, whispereing love words and breaking away from their kisses unwillingly.

"Do I really have to leave?" Neptune asked her partner.
"Unfortunatly my love. Your father would have my guts for garters if he found you here."
"Why don't you come to my room tonight? It's a bit more secluded..."

Princess Uranus simply looked into her lovers eye's with a simple lust filled gaze that made a response unnecessary. It was a gaze the 20th century Michiru had seen often.

"I'll wait up for you then." Neptune's heir said as she waltzed out of the room.
"I won't be too long" whispered the wind senshi, turning around.

Michiru and Haruka stiffened, the same thought crossing both of their brains: 'Can she see us?' Obviously the ancient princess could not or just did not notice the two women's precence for she carried on her normal routine as if no one was there. Michiru walked over to the princess who was now seated at the bay windows, absorbing the mornings sunshine. Michiru sat on the window seat and made a grab for the princesses hand. Michiru gasped as her hand past through that of the Uranian's.
"Haruka?" Michiru called
A guilty looking Haruka looked up from the chest at the end of the four-postered bed.
"Michiru?"
"Do you know where we are?"
"My guess? the Past. Exactly when and where? not a clue."
"You're a lot of help." Michiru said sarcasticly.
Haruka raised an eyebrow and smiled. The princess on the window seat began to speak to no one inparticular.

"I love her with all my being and yet why do I falter? I should just give it to her and be done with it. I know she'll love it, but will she understand it?"
For a brief moment the 20th century senshi stared at each other briefly before returning their attention to the princess. A small cherrywood chest was in her hands. Michiru's hands went to her neck, where the aqua cameo still lay against her skin. The wind princess opened the box and gazed at the necklace glittering inside. Michiru unclapsed the necklace from her neck to compare it with the one in the box. Without warning the world once again went black. Michiru blinked rapidly for a few seconds, not realizing what had happened.

"We're back?" Haruka's voice echoed in Michiru's head.
She looked up and saw that they were once again in the kitchen of the house they shared with Hotaru and Setsuna.
Both women were silent a moment. It was Haruka who broke the silence
"Well I for one would like to know what the hell just happened."
A chuckle from the back of the room cause both women to turn on their heels. Setsuna held a cup of warm coffee in her hands and a smile on her lips as she watched the couple.

"You having problems remembering Haruka? I think maybe you've just hit your head one to many times on those steering wheels of yours."
"Actually pulled yourself away from the computer, ne Setsuna? Your internet audience allow you to take a break?" Haruka shot back.
"PEACE!!!!" Michiru cried.
Both Setsuna a nd Haruka chuckled at her outburst. Michiru slammed her hand on the table, which sent the cameo flying from her hand and into Setsunas lap. The older simply chuckled as she lifted the necklace and began to hand it back to Michiru.
Her eyes widened as she saw what it was fully.

"Michiru..." Setsuna's voice was extremely odd even to her own ears, " where did you get this? Exactly where and when?"
"This morning, I found it on my nightstand."
"Did anything odd happen to you after you found it? Anything at all?"
Haruka shot a look to Michiru before answering Setsuna.

"Yeah, we ended up in a stone castle somewhere watching our past princessy selves make out. I found this earring on my nightstand." Haruka played with the stone in her right lobe.

Setsuna was visibly shaken at the sight of the jewelry. The necklace and the earring were part of a collection of jewelry sacred to the monarchy of the silver millenium. They had the power to revive crucial memories that the future needed. A future that was quickly approaching. If her calculations were right then Crystal Tokyo was right around the corner. But if the tokens of the millenium were showing themselves...that meant that that someone didn't remeber something. And that something could keep Crystal Tokyo from being built. She looked up both Haruka and Michiru.

"We need to call the inner-scouts. Immediatly."
