Chapter four: You vanished in my arms.
Author: Ria Sakazaki/Lizza de Guzman
Pairing: Hanamichi/Haruka Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. Note: this is where Hanamichi and Haruka started having problems. Haruka and Setsuna vanished after the Shohoko's first victory. Hanamichi tried to call her but no one was answering the phone. He tried to call Setsuna but still the same. He never knew, Haruka was to go back to the Moon Kingdom where she needs to be at service of her queen, forever. ^_^ please review!
Two months had passed and it was Shohoko's first game. They were playing against NISM. He and Haruka had just celebrated their second monthly anniversary and they thought nothing would separate them. Haruka still can't decided to tell Hanamichi or not about her secret identity, Sailor Uranus. She really love him and enjoyed everyday with him that she had forgotten that the day the Moon Kingdom will call their service would ever come. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*_*~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "My Queen, the inner Sailor soldiers and Sailor Saturn are already here." Luna told her. Usagi Tsukino sat by the thrown with Mamuro Chiba as King Darien and with their two lovely princesses, Chibiusa and Chibichibi. The Moon Kingdom and the Suneraih had forged into one since her grandchild-to- be, Chibichibi, was the princess of the planet, Sailor Cosmos. They watched as the Star Lights, Seiya as Sailor Star Maker, Taeki as Sailor Star Fighter and Yatte as Sailor Star Healer came in with the four inner soldiers of the galaxy, Ami Mizuno as Sailor Mercury, Minako Aino as Sailor Venus, Rei Hino as Sailor Mars, Makoto Kino as Sailor Jupiter and Hotaru Tomoe as Sailor Saturn.
"I'm glad you all came. the revived Moon Kingdom and Suneraih will be safe at last." Usagi said. "Chibichibi." Chibichibi said. " my lady, we are most glad to serve this planet with all of our lives." Seiya said. they all bowed down. "why are the three outer soldiers are not here yet?" Rei asked. "we are to fetch them once we have the policy. Soon, this planet will be guarded safely, with us as it's defenders." Mamuro told them. " do you want me to fetch them now?" Artemis asked. " that would be great. I know Setsuna and Haruka are in the same place now. Luna, you can fetch Michiru in San Francisco." Usagi told them. the two cat bowed down and left the hall. "we are going to have a reunion." Usagi whispered to Mamuro.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*_*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ they were having a party that night a the gym to celebrate the victory of Shohoko High against Tomoeda High. Hanamichi became an instant star because he made the last winning shot so many girls surrounded him. Haruka and Setsuna excused themselves to go outside to talk.
"I can't believe we got that far." Haruka told Setsuna. She was wearing a cute summer dress (for the first time) while Setsuna wore her Sunday dress with cardigan. " I never thought you and Hanamichi would even get together." Setsuna told her. They were sitting outside the gym under the starry night. "I wish I can be with him forever." Haruka sighed. "but you haven't told him about what we really are." Setsuna told her. Haruka stared at her friend. "about what?" Haruka asked her. " hey! is there someone there?" Setsuna asked knocking at Haruka's head. " tell me. I don't get it." Haruka told her.
"don't you remember? Moon Kingdom. Neo Queen Serenity. Sailor Soldiers. The Silver millennium. Come on! Sailor Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto. That's what we really are." Setsuna told her. Haruka sighed. " I almost forgot about it." she said sadly. "its because you found love. Remember our Queen? She never thought about anything but King Darien." Setsuna told her. "I'm worried." Haruka said, looking back inside the gym. " why?" Setsuna asked. "it feels like Hanamichi is so unreachable now. I feel like something is pulling me away from him." Haruka said. " I don't know what that means." Setsuna said.
"well, what if they have rebuilt the Moon Kingdom now? What if we are to go back there and never leave again because we are to defend the people especially now that Suneraih had forged in?" Haruka asked worriedly. " just calm down ok." Setsuna told her. a tear escaped Haruka's beautiful eyes. " I just love Hanamichi so much that I'm scared to leave him. I felt like I'm bound to him forever. And I'll die if someone's going to take him away from me." Haruka told her. "just forget about that crazy thought. No one will take you away from each other. As long as you love him." Setsuna told her. she patted her friend's shoulders. "ok. I'm just kinda hysterical because of this Olympic thing. I think I'm getting insane." Haruka smiled. " you'll win." Setsuna told her.
"hey, remember their team Capt.? I can see he has a crush on you." Haruka told Setsuna. "forget it!" Setsuna told her. "oh but I just can't forget about that stuff." Haruka said. "what stuff?" Setsuna asked her. " you know, like being separated from Hanamichi. I can feel a cold shiver passing through me everytime I came to think of it. it feels like maybe tonight, I'd be kidnapped or something." Haruka told her. "I told you to stop that nonsense." Setsuna told her.
"Hey Hanamichi! Where's Haruka?" Kogure asked him. "I don't know. maybe I'll go find her." Hanamichi said. he went out and saw Haruka and Setsuna talking outside the gym. His breath almost had gone out when he saw how beautiful Haruka is under the night's sky. "hey, what are you two doing here? it's cold." Hanamichi said, walking towards them. " nothing. Just talking. That's all." Haruka said. when Hanamichi came to sit next to her, Setsuna stood up. "where are you going?" Haruka asked. " inside." Setsuna said smiling. When she disappeared by the door, Hanamichi encircle his arms around her and pulled her closer. " you're so beautiful." Hanamichi murmured through her hair. "is that a complement or a insult?" Haruka joked. "I'm not insulting you. I'm glad you wore that dress. Didn't you know that you are the Bell of the Ball tonight." Hanamichi said. Haruka was leaning on his chest. She smiled and inhaled his manly scents.
"you are far more beautiful than the stars above. Look at them, they shine then they dimmed then shine again. Not like you, you always shine." Hanamichi told her. Haruka came to face him. "you are the most amazing guy I've ever met." Haruka told him. she held his face and kissed his lips. " I'd take that as a conclusion." Hanamichi said and kissed her again. Haruka sighed and sat on his lap while encircling her arms around his neck. " I'm scared." Haruka told him. she kissed his forehead. Hanamichi's head was resting on her chest. "why?" Hanamichi breathed. He can hear how her heart beat. He pulled her closer to him. "it's just that, I feel like something is pulling me away from you." Haruka told him. Hanamichi looked up to her. " what? I don't get it." Hanamichi asked her. Haruka said. she got off his lap and sat next to him. she held his hand protectively. "look it like this, I really love you so much and I don't want to be away from you, not ever." Haruka paused. " me too." Hanamichi told her. "but there is something that is pulling us apart. And I don't know what is it. I'm just scared and it's crawling up to my veins." Haruka told him. Hanamichi pulled her closer.
"just don't be. That will help me not to be scared too. I really hate the idea of something will keep us apart. You are the light that brightened my dark life. What would I be without you?" Hanamichi murmured against her hair. "me too. Don't you know that without you, I could have married Setsuna instead? Joking." She added. Hanamichi pinched her nose. " my girlfriend is a kidder. Hahaha." Hanamichi said. "promise me, that you will love me no matter what happen." Haruka told him, looking deep into his eyes. "don't worry. I will as long as you love me back." Hanamichi told her. they sealed their promise with a kiss before going inside the gym.
"Hanamichi!" Kogure yelled and gave him a high five, so as Haruka. " hey so it's your first time to dress up so girly." Kogure told her. " that's why I'm kind a insecure with this dress." Haruka told him. they went to the punch table to get some drinks. "the first time I really wore a girly dress but not in public was the time Michiru had made a portrait of me wearing this blue ribbon dress with ribbons whatsoever." Haruka told them. "where is it?" Hanamichi asked. " she kept it as one of her best collections." Haruka said. "she must be a master." Kogure said. " she's with me in Mugen School last year and she played as my girlfriend whenever I wanted to get away from die-hard girl fans." Haruka told them. " you really are a bad girl." Kogure said. "naughty nasty bad girl." Hanamichi added.
"hey guys! Pictures." Yohei said and snapped a picture of the three. " my, he can make a fortune with the picture." Hanamichi said. " Make a hundred copy for it and sell it in a high price, you can be an instant millionaire." Kogure added. "are you two going to stop joking around about my dress or what?" Haruka asked her. " no we're not joking about your dress. We are complementing about your dress." Kogure told her. " just my dress?" Haruka raised one brow. " of course the model is included." Hanamichi said. "will you see that. Setsuna and Akagi are really hitting it off." Haruka pointed out. They looked at the place she was pointing and they saw Setsuna talking to Akagi.
"I never thought Gori will act like that." Hanamichi said. " Hanamichi." Haruka told him off. "ok, ok, Akagi-Sempai." Hanamichi said. " I saw you talking to a player of Tomoeda and he looked like Kaede." Kogure said. " oh, that guy. He's my teacher's son, Touya Kinomoto. He seemed very similar to Kaede. Very quiet, loves to sleep but deep inside, he is kinda vain." Haruka said. "what about that guy with glasses?" Hanamichi asked. " That is his best friend, Yukito Yukishiro. He's a funny guy who loves to stuff as many food he can inside his mouth." Haruka said. "and they have these cute grade school kids hanging around them." Kogure told her. " The girl with short brown hair is Touya's little sister, Sakura and girl with black hair is her best friend, Tomoyo Daidoji. The boy with brown hair is Shaolin Li." Haruka said. " they were shocked to see you wearing a dress." Hanamichi said. they all laughed.
Later that night, Luna and Artemis entered Haruka's condo unit. " they're not here." Artemis said. " we better wait for them." Luna told him. Hanamichi walked Setsuna and Haruka home. They said goodbye before going upstairs. "girlfriend, don't think I'm crazy but I think I don't want to go in there." Haruka told Setsuna. " why?" she asked her worriedly. " something like I don't know." Haruka said. "oh come on! I want to sleep." Setsuna said and pulled her inside. They nearly screamed when they saw a black cat and a white cat sitting of their sofa.
"surprise, surprise!" Luna said. "why the hell are you here?" Haruka asked. She locked the door and sat on her beanbag. "hey! first time I saw you were a girl's attire except for your Sailor Suit." Artemis told her. " don't rub it in." Haruka told him. "so why are you here?" Setsuna asked them. "we don't want to go in circles like that." Luna started. Haruka's hands started shaking. "no." she muttered. "you are to return to Moon Kingdom to serve the Queen. Like you always wanted, to go back and live in Moon kingdom forever." Artemis told them. " but-" Setsuna said. a tear escaped Haruka's eyes. "Setsuna, pack your things." Haruka said. she wiped her tears and ran to her room. "you stay here." Setsuna told them and followed Haruka.
She found her friend packing her clothes while sobbing. " Haruka," Setsuna said and closed the door. "I told you something like this would happen. go, pack your things. we must go." Haruka sobbed. " Haruka, you told me nothing will take you away from Hanamichi." Setsuna told her. " don't you think it's not hard for me? In the four of us, I was the one who always wanted to go back and serve. I know it hurts but-" Haruka's knees let go and she kneeled. "honey." Setsuna approached her and soothed her back. " I don't want to go but half of me wants to." She sobbed on her shoulders. " we go there now and tell them everything. Maybe you're not going to leave Hanamichi after all." Setsuna told her. she got out and packed her things. Haruka had arranged her appointments. She told the management of the condominium that they are checking out that they need to go to San Francisco. She even arranged the message on her answering machine so that Hanamichi won't suspect a thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*_*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hours had passed and Setsuna and Haruka was joined by Michiru outside the hall. "thank god you're here." Michiru told them and gave them a hug. " nice seeing you, Michiru." Haruka said gloomily. "what happened?" Michiru asked her. "later." Setsuna told her. they entered the castle hall in Sailor dress. They kneeled in front of Usagi.
"you're highness, we are pleased to be here." Haruka said while clutching her fist hard. She was fighting the urge to cry. " I'm glad you're here. the place is restored and I except you to stay here to defend the planet." Usagi told them. Haruka can't take it anymore. Even though all eyes are on them, she stood up and looked at Usagi with watery eyes. " will do, your highness. If you'll excuse me, I need to rest." Haruka said and turned her back and walked out of the door. When they were out of sight, her tears broke free from her eyes as she ran to her room. She locked her door and prepared a spell for it. she threw herself to bed and sobbed.
"what happened to her, Setsuna?" Mamuro asked. " forgiveness, my king. Haruka doesn't want to come back here." Setsuna told them. "what?" Michiru whispered in outrage. "why? How come? It's her who wanted to be here." Makoto said. "it's because she found someone." Setsuna said. she stood up and looked at the princess. "what?" Usagi asked again. "she found the man she will spend her lifetime with on earth and she was furious that why do you have to call her, now that she had changed her life." Setsuna said. " I don't understand." Usagi said. "it's not a thing to think about logically. Haruka is torn between the decision of her heart to stay with Hanamichi and the urge to stay here and serve you. she never loved a man in all of her life since her dad died." Setsuna told her. "you have no right to talk to the queen like that." Seiya demanded. "I know but I want to say this now. I want you to know that you let Haruka vanish from Hanamichi's arms." Setsuna said and walked away. She was hurt too, seeing Haruka suffer. Michiru cast Usagi and all of them a hateful glance then followed Setsuna out.
