Michiru cried. She had ordered them to stop, but they wouldn't. They couldn't be punished because it was in the interest of the princess. She hit the guards and tried to pull their hands off of her, but it was of no use. The guards took her inisde. The leader of the guards had never trusted her, not even for a moment. He treated her roughly. He pushed her and she fell foward, her face hitting the cold hard ground. This is all happened out of Michirus sight. The guard grabed her up by her soft blond hair and pulled her along. Haruka wouldn't do any thing because it would be useless. It would only give them a reason to acuse her as a threat, so she played along. They threw her in a cell. One of the soldiers walked in and handcuffed one of her hands. He then put the chain between the bars and then back through around another bar back into the cell. He then handcuffed her other hand then he spit on her. Durring this time Michiru had run to her mother to speak with her.
"Mother do something. They are arrestng Haruka!" The small princess said.
"There is nothing I can do. As much as I like her, I know nothing about her." Her mother said quietly.
"I know her. Don't you trust me?" Michiru said, as tears ran down her soft face.
"I do, you just don't understand." The queen said calmly.
"You are arresting the woman I love, and you say I don't understand! Fuck you!" She ran out pissed. She was always so gentle, but not when Haruka was in danger. She ran to the cell Haruka was in.
By the time Michiru got there, Haruka was bleeding from her head and mouth. They had beaten her. She had sevral bruises on her body. Michiru reached through the bars and softly stroked her head. She wanted to say something, but nothing would come out. She couldn't believe what these creatures, that would dare call themselves Neptunians, had done to her. Haruka looked at her and smiled a little. She couldn't move because of the bar between the chains that lead to each of her wrists.
"Michiru....I..." Haruka was weak, she couldn't say much. She caughed blood up onto the floor.
"Shh...! Don't speak. I promise I'll get you out Haruka." Michiru said in a shaky voice.
She ran into her room and grabed the mirrior she had gotten for her 18th birthday. She looked into it. She then to the window and looked to the sky. She held the mirror close to her. She didn't know what to do. Then she froze. It dawned on her, why didn't she remember it before. The note that came along with the mirror, it said " This mirror is for you to see beyond all sights." She looked into the mirrior and she prayed she wasn't wrong.
"Mirror, let me see the battle." She said in a frantic voice.
The mirror glowed. She saw the run down planet of Uranus. All she could see were dead bodies and blood. What was happing? They were just slaying each other. This wasn't a battle, it was a massacre. She layed the mirror down. She wanted to block the images out of her head, Seeing the young boys and men getting slaughtered like that! But, they were winning. She walked back to the cell with Haruka in it. She saw the guards hitting her with their spears and throwing water on her. They knew she was thirsty. Michiru stormed over to one guard and grabed his spear. She swung it like a bat and nailed him in the head.
"Dont you dare get near her, you bastards. Or I will personally kill each and everyone of you." She said in a fearful voice.
She bent down and kissed Harukas cheek. It was covered in blood and she could taste Harukas blood on her lips. She didn't know what to do, the women she loves in jail and her people at war getting killed. Her mother, for once in her life, did not trust her judgement! Her world was falling apart. She knew Haruka would never do any thing to hurt her or breake her trust.
"It's ok Haruka, we are winning. Everything will be alright when they are defeated, I promise." The young princess spoke with false hope in her voice.
Michiru spent her days by Harukas side at the cell. She hardly slept, but that's all the weak Haruka could do. They only gave her one meal a day. After a few weaks the war was over. Michiru hardly ever left her lovers side. The guards whispered something in Michirus ear. Her eyes widened in horror. She couldn't believe the news she had just recieved. She turned to Haruka knowing that she would be hurt, or would she? She didn't know. She was a bit confused at this time.
"Haruka, they killed your mother." The small woman said, still in shock.
Haruka didn't say a word. She just looked away. Everything in her past was gone, all but Michiru. Even though she hated her mother, her mother shouldn't have died by sword. Haruka watched as the guards let her go. She closed her eyes hearing the sound of the cuffs fall to the ground. When the guard droped them, Michiru ran into the cell and huged her. Haruka huged her back.
"I am so sorry Haruka." Michiru said in tears.
"I am too...." Haruka said in an emtionless voice.
They walked back to Michirus room. Michiru helped Haruka undress. She was in need of a bath and she was very weak from the poor treatment. Michiru helped her into the tub, after the water had been run and started, to wash the blood off the young prince. The tall prince slept in the water. Michiru made sure her head didn't go under. Michiru smiled sadly. She wished that while she was doing this to Haruka she'd be happy, and Haruka would have been healthy and able to do something in return.
"Michiru, I love you. No matter what, I'll never leave your side. I promise." The young prince mummbled.
"Shh. I know, Haruka i know." The ocean goddess replied.
After Michiru had washed her body, she put some shampoo in her hands. She then washed her hair and wrinced the soap out afterwards. She then dried Haruka off and got her dressed. She took care of Haruka. She let her have her own bed and feed her three times a day. She wouldn't let her even think about moving. After Haruka was better, she sat up. Michiru was a bit paraniod.
"Are you sure you're alright?" The ocean ruler asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry Michiru." The wind racer replied to her.
Michiru nodded and kissed Haruka. It was late, and she had a fire place in her room. She lite it and sat next to Haruka. Haruka, in a silky robe, staired into the fire. Then looked into Michirus eyes. She kissed her and Michiru returned the kiss. Haruka wraped her arms around her, looking deep into her eyes. She never wanted to be apart from her lover. She feared that jail would be her death. That's one place she did not want Michiru to follow her. Michiru wraped her arms around Harukas neck. Without thinking, she pulled her prince on top of her and never looked away from her eyes.
"M...Michiru, what are you doing?" The prince said in a shaky voice.
Michiru placed a finger over her lips and shook her head. Haruka was shaking she was nervous. What was she to do? Michiru on the other hand; acted perfectly calm eventhough inside, she was a wreck. Her heart was racing as was Harukas. They just stared into each others eyes. Then haruka pulled away.
"M...Michiru, I ..." Haruka said softly.
The young princess said nothing and looked away. She stood up feeling ashamed and embarrased about what she had just done. What was she thinking? To try something like that with Haruka, she should be in control of herself. The more she thought to herself, she didn't know what to do or say now. So, she left the room. Haruka tried to follow her, but Michiru dissappeared as soon as she exited the room. She was crying, yet again.
....To be continued.
"Mother do something. They are arrestng Haruka!" The small princess said.
"There is nothing I can do. As much as I like her, I know nothing about her." Her mother said quietly.
"I know her. Don't you trust me?" Michiru said, as tears ran down her soft face.
