Yumeko: I have started three stories now! Ahhhhhh! I am going to die one of
these days from typing so much!
Haruka: Then why did you start them?
Yumeko: cause I wanted to.
Haruka: well, that is your problem.
Yumeko: You are so mean! *Sniffs*
Haruka: Whatever
Yumeko: Meanie! Anyway see if you like the next chapter! I know this chapter may seem kind of insignificant, but it has importance. This chapter doesn't focus that much on Usagi and Seiya though, but more on how the outer scouts are taking in the fact that Seiya...Well you get the point. Anyway please R/R and tell me what you think.

9:52 pm, Tuesday
Haruka was sitting on her bed, in a loose shirt and jeans pants. She sat there and stared at the sheets. From time to time she would do something really annoying, like snap her fingers or clutch the sheets or run her hand through her tousled hair. Michiru sat on a chair, her violin in her hand, her eyes closed. She was ready to play but it wouldn't come to her. She frowned. Then she played, slowly, a sad melody. Haruka snapped again. Michiru kept playing, frowning, making several mistakes.
Chibi-Usa sat in Hotaru's room, wrapped in a blanket. Tears could still be seen running form her eyes now and then. Hotaru sat there and watched Chibi- Usa. She had a weird feeling about all this, and she didn't know how to say it. She felt like a fist was clutching her heart and choking her. Many things of no sense swirled in her mind. Watching Chibi-Usa didn't help.
Luna pretended to sleep. The violin's music coming from Michiru's room was depressing. She was confused and just wanted to forget everything and drop into the oblivion. But the music kept her awake. Artemis watched Luna. He could tell she was awake. He slowly walked over to her and sat down next to her, trying to lose himself in sleep, but to no avail. Diana sat at a window and watched the sky. Everything looked dim to her and she blamed herself for what had happened.
************************************************************************
5:42 am, Wednesday
Haruka woke up. She felt depressed. Moving she realized she had fallen asleep without changing. She groaned as she got up. She looked over to Michiru who was facing away from her.
"Are you awake?" Haruka asked. Michiru head nodded.
"Did you sleep at all?" Michiru shook her head. Haruka worried now. Michiru had to go for a rehearsal today...and if she didn't sleep...Haruka leaned over and kissed Michiru.
"I am going out for a while." Haruka told her, "Get some sleep."
"Where are you going?" Michiru asked.
"I am going to go see Seiya." Haruka answered, trying to look casual.
"It isn't his fault, Haruka," Michiru whispered, "Leave him out of it."
"Why do you have to defend him?" Haruka asked, frustrated.
"I don't..." Michiru said, "It's just that you should be going and talking to Mamoru before you go..."
"I am going to go see Seiya!" Haruka said slamming the door of the bathroom. Michiru got up and looked at the bathroom door. She heard the shower come one. She sighed and waited for Haruka to come out. When Haruka came out, Michiru stared at her until Haruka turned around and met her eyes.
"What?" Haruka snapped.
"Don't, please." Michiru said, "Please go and talk to Mamoru first."
"Well, I don't feel like it."
"Haruka! Don't be so stubborn!" Michiru said raising her voice a bit.
"Don't yell at me!" Haruka yelled.
"I am not yelling, you are!" Michiru said, "Please Haruka, listen, please..."
"I don't see why you are so worried!" Haruka said walking out of the room after putting her jacket on.
"I just think..." Michiru started, but Haruka cut her off.
"Well, keep your thoughts to yourself!" Haruka blurted out, then instantly regretted it. Michiru stared at her, quietly.
"I am sorry." Haruka whispered, grabbing her car keys and shutting the front door behind her as she left. Michiru felt a sob rising, but she repressed it. The cats were watching her. When Michiru turned around, she saw Hotaru standing at the door of her room.
"Are you ok?" Hotaru said, her voice barely coming out.
"I am fine." Michiru sat down in front of her, "Did you sleep well?" Hotaru shook her head.
"Things haunt me at night," Hotaru said, "Something important, but I can't find it." Michiru brushed the hair away from Hotaru's face and told her to go to back to sleep. Hotaru nodded and went back in to find Chibi-Usa and Diana inside, both of them thinking that this was their fault.
************************************************************************
6:14 am, Wednesday
Haruka drove around frustrated. One of her hand was on the staring wheel and the other was hanging out the window. She kept running her hand through her hair. She came to an empty road and sped up. Things went by in a blur, but she didn't care. She just kept speeding on and on. A turn came and suddenly Haruka realized she was too fast to turn. Her racing instincts kicked in she slowed out, losing a bit of control but not too much. She stopped the car and put her head against the steering wheel, one question in her mind.
"Now what?"
************************************************************************
6:32 am, Wednesday
"Seiya!" Yaten called, grumpily, "It's for you!"
"Who would be calling me at a time like this?" Seiya said wondering out loud. He knew that Usagi would have called on the cell phone, so now who was it.
"Hello?" he said groggily.
"Seiya," came the arrogant voice, "Long time no see."
"What do you want, Haruka?"
"Meet me at the front of the Ichinoshi Park (A/N: Did I spell that right?) in 15 minutes."
"A date?" Seiya asked.
"No, you fool!" Haruka snapped, "You have 15 minutes. If you don't come, I'll come and break down your whole place."
"Ok, ok," Seiya said, more awake now, "I'll be there!" He hung up and walked toward the bathroom to get ready.
"Who was it?" Yaten asked, who was still grumpy from waking up so early.
"I have to go somewhere," Seiya told him, "I wonder what she wants now." He muttered under his breath.
************************************************************************
6:58 am, Wednesday
Seiya walked toward the park. He had parked his car a little far away from the park for some reason. Haruka was standing in front of the entrance, her back toward him. When he got closer, she turned around and gave him an icy glare.
"You are late!"
"When you wake up someone this early in the morning, they are bound to be late," Seiya said, "Well, what do you want?"
"Why were you with Usagi last night?"
"Why couldn't I be with Usagi last night?" Seiya twisted the question.
"Just answer me," Haruka growled.
"We were out on a date."
"Oh, I see, and what makes you think it was a date?"
"What is your problem Haruka?" Seiya asked, "You know, if she wants to go out with me, she can. And it's none of your business."
"It becomes my business when the future is at stake!" Haruka said, "That little girl? You saw her. She is Usagi and Mamoru's future daughter. I could hear her sobs the whole night! You are killing that little girl!"
"I am not killing her!" Seiya said irritated, "Why can't she just leave Usagi alone and go back from where she came from! Do you want Usagi to go back to Mamoru? Did you see that he was about to hit her?"
"All I know that ever since you came into our lives, the whole future has been messing up." Haruka said.
"Well, you know what I think, Haruka?" Seiya started, "I think that you are just so worried because your future is at stake. You are scared that you would end up with no purpose, so now you are trying to force Usagi's life into hell! You are trying to ruin her dreams for your own selfish ones..." He didn't finish because right then Haruka's fist connected with his jaw.
"How dare you!" Haruka yelled. She felt like she would burst. Her heads was spinning and she couldn't breath right. She tried to take a deep breath, but it got stuck in her throat. She coughed. Seiya slowly got up. Despite for Haruka's action, he felt concerned for her.
"Are you ok..." he reached for her but she pushed him away. Losing his balance, he fell down on the concrete pavement and hit hi head hard on the curb. Haruka watched him lose conscious. Her breathing got faster and she stared at the motionless Seiya. Cursing she bent over and picked him up, heading for the nearest house she knew form there.
************************************************************************
7:12 am, Wednesday
Usagi rubbed her eyes. Someone was ringing the bell. She yawned and got up slowly, dragging her blanket off the bed. Struggling her feet free of the blanket she went to the door and looked outside.
"Haruka-san!" she said opening the door, "What is...Oh my god! Seiya!" She gasped as her eyes fell over Seiya. Haruka brought him inside and put him on the couch.
"No!" Usagi said, "Could you bring him inside to the bed?" Haruka stared at Usagi, her eyes saying, "You must be kidding!" but obviously Usagi wasn't. Haruka reluctantly picked Seiya up again and took him inside, dropping him on the bed. She watched Usagi put a wet cloth on his forehead and then on his jaw, which was bleeding slightly. Usagi fixed the blanket and put it over him, taking his shoes off. Then she left the room, Haruka right behind her.
"What happened?" Usagi asked Haruka but Haruka didn't reply.
"Haruka-san, what happened?" Usagi asked, her voice a bit more firm now.
"I...I lost my patience." Haruka said slowly.
"Why?" Usagi asked, "What did he ever do to you?"
"Chibi-Usa, Usagi, she was sobbing all night. She thinks you hate her. And if Seiya wasn't here, maybe..."
"Maybe what?" Usagi started, "Maybe I would have gone back to Mamoru by now? Is that what you were going to say?" When Haruka didn't reply, Usagi took a deep breath and walked closer to Haruka. She looked up at Haruka.
"I believe that you have forgotten what I said," Usagi started, "I believe I said that I want to follow my own dreams and that my dreams didn't include Queen Serenity, Crystal Tokyo, Mamoru, or Chibi-Usa. And Haruka, I would now like to ask you to leave my life and me alone. As long as it was senshi business, it made sense for you to interfere, but now I am not Sailor Moon, so you can leave me alone. The door is that way." Usagi pointed and turned around to leave. Haruka felt like she was slapped. Usagi stopped and took a deep breath again.
"I am sorry it turned out like this," Usagi said, "I really though we understood each other." Then Usagi went to her bedroom where Seiya was and closed the door behind her slightly. Haruka turned around and left.
************************************************************************
7:32 am, Wednesday
"You plans seem to fail yet again." The man in the cloak said to a woman, who can be fully seen now. She wore a black dress, with spaghetti straps. There was a slit on the bottom, and you could see high-heeled black shoes. The woman had red short-cropped hair. Her green eyes stared at the man in front of her.
"Do not mock me," she said, "It was not my fault that they all showed up."
"Maybe it would be better if one of us goes," the man suggested.
"No," she said, "They will come to us. Remember, the fly always comes to the spider, not the other way around. Plus, my effect is starting on them now. And soon enough they would be too weak to resist me."
************************************************************************
7:45 am, Wednesday
Haruka walked into her apartment. Michiru was sitting on the couch and mindlessly staring at the TV. Haruka looked around for Chibi-Usa and Hotaru or the cats, but couldn't find them.
"Where is everyone?" Haruka asked.
"Luna went to see Ami, Artemis went to see Minako. Makoto came and picked up Hotaru, Chibi-Usa and Diana. Said she wanted to cheer them up." Michiru said.
"Oh," Haruka said as she sat down beside Michiru.
"How was your meeting with Seiya?" Michiru asked.
"It was a slap in the face," Haruka said then explained what Usagi had said.
"It seems like we are on our own again." Michiru said.
"We don't need them," Haruka said, trying to soothe Michiru.
"But we do, Haruka, we do." Michiru said and put her head on Haruka's shoulder. Haruka didn't say a word, but her mind reluctantly agreed to the obvious.
************************************************************************
Yumeko: Quite a depressing chapter, isn't it? Well it reflects my mood. Oh well, now I have taken it all out and now I feel much better. R/R please, I know it seems like the story has strayed of course, but this chapter has a reason, considering that Haruka and Michiru influence Usagi's life very much. Anyhow, R/R and tell me how it is. Ja!
