Fighting Destiny
Chapter 10 "Future Discoveries"
Haruka ripped a piece of her shirt and pressed it to the smaller girl's stomach, but the cloth soaked with her blood instantly "Come on Michiru! Fight…you have to fight!" she begge desperately, Michiru tried to open her eyes but failed miserably. With tears on her eyes the blonde blurted "Do-don't leave me…not now…please…don't dare to leave me…" Michiru's eyes opened a little and whispered weakly "Ha-haruka…I-I love you…please don't…never fo…forget it" her voice becoming less with each spoken word and with each passing second.
"Michiru…don't say that!" in that moment Haruka bit her lip in pain, Michiru's mouth was spilling blood from it's corners "Please, Michiru! Please! Do not leave me! I love you please don't do it…" in that moment Michiru closed her eyes and her face fell.
Haruka whispered the other girl's name but no answer came, she closed her eyes and tightened her fists so hardly that her nails began to cut her palm; in a second all her happy moments with Michiru passed through her mind 'NO..no…not again…" she rocked the body of Michiru.
Like if a bolt has hit her she opened her eyes suddenly "I'm not going to let you go…no' she repeated in her mind all over again, her eyes let the tears fall and in that second her heart and mind was a whirl emotions and memories, with a blinding light her sign appeared on her forehead 'Don't leave me…please…don't…' she kept thinking, and the light that came from her sign turned bigger engulfing both of them, "Don't go, I love you…I'm sorry" that was the last her last thought before everything became black.
Her mind played cruel games with her, repeating over and over that scene, the day when she betrayed Michiru…when she broke her promises about loyalty and eternal love, she kept seeing Michiru's face broken by the pain and betrayal, and her eyes, once gentle became cold with the lies and cheats. The scene repeated all over again, until it changed and the new display hurt more than any wound she has had, the night where Michiru and Rukawa kissed, she felt her heart break again, everything hurt inside her, it was painful to breath, painful to see and overall painful to live without her. "I can't" she whispered, but just in that second her mind displayed Michiru dying on her arms, she saw her hands and they were soaked with the blood of the sea senshi, her eyes fill immediately with new tears "No…NOOO!!" she shouted angrily, with all the force of her lungs. She woke up sweating, her breath raged and her heart pounding on her chest, she looked around and she was on a bed, not a common bed, her own bed "What?...where…how I arrived here?" she tried to stand up but she failed miserably, she was very tired, exhausted to be exact.
Then it hit her again "Michiru!" she pulled her body up, summoning all her strength to stumble a few steps. She managed to open the door, but some steps after she fell "Haruka!" exclaimed a familiar voice, someone held her and helped to stood up, Haruka lifted her gaze confused "Setsuna?"
The older senshi smiled "Who were you waiting for? Miss Tokyo?" Haruka skipped the humor "Michiru, where is she?" Setsuna grab her harder, she inhaled deeply, Haruka's heart sank, she waited for the worst she waited for Setsuna to end her life, but instead of destroying it she enlightened it "She's fine, she is resting in the other room" Haruka smiled in relief and happiness, new tears flooded her eyes, "But I don't how were you able to do it…I'm impressed, really, I thought that this will end bad, just like in my future…" Setsuna's eyes darkened in memories.
"I don't know what I did…" Haruka said confused, searching in the time senshi's eyes.
"You what?" asked Setsuna more confused than the blonde warrior.
"I don't know…I can't remember what happened after she…after she was wounded…" Haruka closed her eyes trying to visualize that precise moment "I just felt a warm light around us…but I can't remember quite well"
Setsuna looked at her with a mixture of surprise and confusion "Now you have surprised me…So you don't know how you saved her?"
"No…"
"Well I suppose you outran us…you reached a new level on the senshi scale"
Now it was the turn for the blonde to be confused "What are you talking about?"
"Not many people can resurrect the dead ones…" Setsuna waited for Haruka to understand this, when the blonde warrior made no comments or a sign that she has understood, she sighed "She died…and you brought her back"
"But how? I mean I..don't know what I did…"
"I've seen this on the future a couple of times, it's not easy…in fact it can't be done all the times…but I never thought you will be able to do it now, in this time in this century" Setsuna eyes were lost like if she was remembering a memory of the future, a sad memory, Setsuna shook her head to clear her thoughts and turned again to the wind senshi "You used your energy, your senshi energy"
"But I don't have my henshin stick…I can't use it" Haruka answered immediately.
"That's the interesting part, in the future all the senshi are able to transform without it, because we all reached a higher level in our powers…"
"But I have seen you use a stick now, in this time"
"I can't use my true power if it's not accord to the time, it could cause terrible consequences in our normal timeline…so I think you reached that level, I suppose your emotions and feelings were too strong and you focused, I don't know how, but you were able to use your powers to save her."
"Wow…so from now on I don't need my henshin stick?" Haruka asked excited, like a child with new toy.
"Calm down Haruka, I don't know, it could have been just this time or permanent, you'll have to try it when you are stronger"
Haruka wanted to try it now, but that would be a little bit risky, she shook her head, she had more important things to do right now "I wanna see her"
"Okay, hang on"
They opened the door and Michiru's sleeping form was in the bed, her face still, it showed no worries or sadness, Haruka's heart skipped a beat, she was so beautiful, she never wanted to see that face sad again, it broke her heart to know that she was the one that caused the sea goddess so much pain. Setsuna felt the pain of Haruka "Get closer…go on…" Haruka looked at her like a lost child, but she made a step forward, she kept looking at the sleeping her, she drown in the beauty of the aqua haired girl's face being washed by the morning sunlight. Gathering more courage she got closer until she seated on the bed, she took the sleeping girl hand in her own, and kissed it reverently, with her other hand she caressed her face tenderly 'She is alive, she is here, really here!' her heart jumped with joy. Setsuna hated to be the party pooper but she knew that Haruka was tired, her pale face was a visible sign of it "Haruka you have to rest…you'll see her later, come" Haruka looked at her and nodded, before she stood up she kissed Michiru's lips tenderly.
Setsuna help her to get to her room "Thanks Setsuna, thanks…"
"No problem…"
Before getting on her bead she asked "Where's Rukawa?"
"The people who saw the beginnings of the fight went for the police, they returned when the three of you were unconscious, so they took him and called us here…"
"So he is in jail?"
"Probably because the people said that he started the fight…"
"Well I hope we don't have to see him anymore…" Haruka narrowed her eyes.
"Don't worry Haruka…just rest"
Setsuna left the room and went to her own, Hotaru was still asleep, and the other two girls probably will wake up until the night. She seated, and put took a sip of the water bottle that was on her desk, she closed her eyes, and a purple aura surrounded her. Her eyes were tight on deep thought, then the aura diminished and she smiled, and the little smile transformed in a bright big one "you did it! You changed your future!" she had great news to the wind senshi but they will have to wait until tomorrow.
Haruka woke up and saw her watch 12:00 pm "What? I only slept four hours more?" she sighed, she wished she could have slept more, but strangely she felt better. In that moment Setsuna opened the door "Haruka! You are awake!"
"Yes I know I should have slept more but…"
"What are you talking about? You were out for one day completely!"
"What? But the watch…"
Setsuna just rolled her eyes, "I'll call Hotaru", before she could go, Haruka asked for Michiru "she is still sleeping" it was the only answer she got; Haruka's face fell a bit she hoped to see her sea nymph awake. Setsuna saw her face and added "I think she is waiting for you to be awake" she winked her eye and went for Hotaru. Haruka smiled but something came to her mind instantly 'Damn I forgot! I have to ask her if I was able to change the future…' Some minutes later Hotaru came into the room running "Haruka papa! You are okay!" Haruka smiled "Hime-chan" Hotaru's eyes filled with tears; she ran to her papa and jumped in the bed hugging her happily "I missed you princess!" Haruka said while hugging her daughter strongly "I miss you too papa, you are going to stay right?" Haruka just nodded the little girl smiled with incredible joy.
The three of them had breakfast, but Haruka excused quickly to go and see Michiru, Hotaru wanted to go but Setsuna mouthed a slight "No" smiling, the little girl caught the idea instantly and changed her mind "Go first papa" Haruka watched them strangely and left 'what are they planning?' she said to herself.
She knocked the door and no one answered, so she went inside the room, Michiru was now curled and slept on her side, Haruka approached and sit on the bed, she again caressed her face, but now it moved slightly, she smiled she got closer and kissed her on the lips, a simple touch, but one with incredible tenderness. She straightened herself still caressing Michiru's face, in that moment the eyes of the sea senshi opened, still sleepy Michiru saw the blonde's face and smiled "Is this the best dream I've ever had or am I in heaven?" Haruka laughed "If it's a dream I don't want to wake up" Michiru's smile grew "Haruka!" she straightened and hugged the blonde with all her strength; the wind senshi closed her eyes and returned the hug with the same force. They parted slowly when Michiru took a hand to her side like looking for something "Haruka how it's possible? I remember he wounded me…" Haruka took her chin in her hand "I don't know, but I don't want to worry about that now…" her eyes flooded with tears again and joked sarcastically "This seem like a new habit doesn't it?" Michiru who has tears also nodded. Haruka's eyes changed and now they were full of love "promise me you'll never scare me like that" Michiru moved Haruka's hand from her chin to her cheek "I promise it" Haruka bit her lip to avoid shredding more tears "I love you Michiru" the aqua haired girl smiled "I love you too" the blonde senshi got closer and kissed her lightly, Michiru's lips answered the gesture too while her free hand moved to Haruka's neck to deepen the kiss, their lips met again and again, communicating all the feelings and the desperation they felt in the airport, Haruka's kissed Michiru's lower lip with tenderness, then she moved to her upper lip and caressed it lightly, in a matter of seconds their kiss changed from a deep to a passionate one, and it ended sweetly. Haruka and Michiru were breathless; the blonde senshi would have died to make love to her soulmate now and there, but she didn't know if she was strong enough to do such task, so she said "Setsuna and Hotaru were asking for you".
The two senshi were at the kitchen still eating, but they stood up when they heard two laughs from the stairs "its Michiru mama's laugh!" Hotaru said happily in that moment Haruka entered carrying Michiru "Look what I found!" the sea senshi smiled and nestled more in the blonde's arms "Put me down before I find this spot too comfy" Haruka smiled and put her down Hotaru embraced Michiru "Michiru mama!" "Welcome back Michiru" the time senshi greeted, smiling and keeping this perfect moment in her memory.
The four outer senshi were talking about simple things, and again they felt like a family, Haruka was seated beside Michiru holding her hand in hers, they occasionally shared little kisses, Hotaru as the child she was she just smiled and looked to other side blushing. Michiru went to the toilet while Hotaru called everybody to say Haruka and Michiru were okay. The inner senshi sighed in relief they were extremely worried about their health but they became crazy and shouted in happiness when Hotaru told them that her "papa's" were together again. Haruka approached to Setsuna "I know this is not a good time to ask this but…well…do you know if we changed out destinies?" Setsuna smiled "You have nothing to worry about, you made it" Haruka not confussed for the lack of details asked again "So we are together then?" the time senshi just nodded while she sipped from her cup of coffee "So she won't die?" Setsuna locked her eyes with Haruka "You saved her twice, in the present and in the future" Still skeptical the blonde made another question "So I'm still a senshi?" Setsuna look at her surprised "I suppose, you'll have to try that later…" Haruka smiled and hugged her "Thanks Setsuna" Setsuna feigned discomfort "Who would say the strong, independent Tenoh Haruka was such a nice person" Haruka glared at her smiling "You never cease to amaze me old lady" Setsuna glared at her, Michiru returned to the room and saw Setsuna's face "What did she do?".
"Michiru, you have to taught her better modals, she has just called me 'old lady'"
"Haruka! You are mean, she may be a billion years old but she doesn't look more than twenty…"
"Thanks Michiru…" the time senshi scolded her while her eyebrow seem to be twitching with a quick pace.
"You see she's worst…" the wind senshi said calmly.
"That's not accurate Haruka I remember a time when you used her… "
"Spare me the psychological trauma Michiru" Setsuna begged.
The three senshi laughed, in that instant Haruka looked at them touched, she wanted to burn that sight in her memory, she knew that maybe they'll have problems and suffering in the future and that pain will always be present while they are senshi, but this moment, this precise moment she was indeed happy…she didn't care about what may come tomorrow…and she didn't want to think about it she just wanted to savor this moment, her eyes watered a little, seeing Michiru hugging Hotaru and her little daughter laughing happily, Setsuna sipping her coffee and making sarcastic comments about her, she looked at each of them trying to memorize their happy faces, everything from before… those horrible months were now a nightmare, a horrible dream from which she woke up…she closed her eyes 'I won't ever ruin this…not again, I promise' Michiru looked at her and wondered on what was the blonde thinking, she stood up and approached to her blonde warrior "a cent for your thoughts" she whispered while she hugged her from behind kissing her cheek, Haruka put her feet on the earth again, opening her gray eyes in surprise, without an advice she kissed her beautiful sea princess. "Never again" she thought while she was getting lost in the sea of emotions they had.
The phone rang and ended the romantic scene "I'll pick it lovebirds"
"Thanks Setsuna" answered Michiru while she caressed Haruka's face.
From the other room they heard pieces from the conversation "Yes, it's here…yes, ok…no I don't think it will be a problem, okay….yes, no…No, I don't see the point, yes thanks….goodbye "
To be continued…
