Chapter 14 : Fading
Hearts uninspired, trapped inside somebodys dream
Haruka held the bleeding Michiru close to her as she pushed a piece of clothing against the wound.Much to Haruka's suprise she could almost feel the pain of the smaller girl in her arms.It was like they shared a bond together and Maybe they did. Ever since Haruka woke up that morning next to the smaller girl she had felt connected to her.
Too close to the fire, yet cold and so numb with the pain
Haruka just looked at the smaller girl with a caring smile on her face.She didn't want to smile or anything like that but it seemed to be working because she girl in her arms smiled back at her.It gave her some hope even though the blonde feared Michiru wouldn't survive the wound and she couldn't drive any further since that black haired girl made that impossible to do.
When the fever has broken, and the river has run to the sea
Michiru rested her head against the blonde's shoulder.She was starting to feel cold and weak , she knew this weren't good things.She was dying and even though the feeling scared her she kept her cool and reserved face. She didn't want to worry Haruka more than she already had.
Washed to the ocean, and saved by a voice inside me

When Neptune finally reached Uranus her room she was a little out of breath but decided to ignore that fact and knocked on the door.She could hear Uranus swear from behind the door before it opened revieling a very annoyed blonde.
'' Haruka , i'm sorry i was being so stubborn earlier , i...'' Neptune suddenly stopped when she felt her heart ache all of a sudden and fell down to her knees.Uranus looked at Neptune with worried eyes.
'' Neptune , this isn't funny , if this is your way of saying your sorry ..it's not helping.'' But when the blonde saw that Neptune wasn't fooling around she started to look around , hping that somebody was passing by but they were alone.
'' Michiru , what's wrong ?''
'' My heart..'' Neptune whispered as she started to sob loudly.Uranus bent down to pick Neptune up.They couldn't stay in this hall.
'' You got heavy during these years.'' The tomboy joked.Neptune smiled weakly and rested her head against the blonde's shoulder.It felt so right to be in Haruka's arms again.It would've felt better if her heart was hurting so much.What was happening ?
Finally they reached Haruka's livingroom where Uranus lay Neptune down on the couch.'' I'll go get a blanket , do you want me to call Sailor Mercury ?''The aqua haired senshi just nodded.She wanted Uranus to stay with her but she knew she couldn't.This was wrong.Did going back to the past really mess up this bad ?
A few minutes later Uranus came back with a blanket in her hands.'' I already called Ami , she said she would come her as fast as she could , she's bringing Setsuna with her too.'' Again the smaller girl just nodded while she held her hand over her aching heart.
'' Ruka ?'' She started but was cut off by the blonde who pressed her lips against hers.It didn't last too long but it was enough for Neptune to know Uranus still loved her.'' Never mind.'' She added after Uranus pulled back.
'' I'm sorry i didn't realise it sooner.Let's just forget all of this and...'' She didn't finish because before she could say anything else Neptune's scream filled the room.The tomboy was starting to panic.
'' I don't know what's happening.'' Neptune sobbed after she calmed down a little.'' My heart feels like it's on fire.'' She was silenced by Uranus once again who put her finger on the lips of the smaller girl.
'' Hush , don't talk .Let's just wait until Ami gets here.'' The aqua haired girl nodded and stayed silent.The last time she had spoken to Sailor Pluto was after their little fight.She didn't know how she had to react or what to do when she would see Pluto again.

If you close your eyes ,your life
Michiru's eyes were closed , her skin was almost completly white and her breathing had slowed down.Haruka had never been so scared in her whole life.It felt like a piece inside of her was dying together with the smaller girl.
'' Haruka...I'm afraid...I won't be there when...When you remember me.'' Michiru whispered with a shaking voice that told the blonde they didn't have much time.
'' Don't say that , you'll be fine...just...don't close your eyes.'' Haruka said but she knew things wouldn't be fine. She knew Michiru was going to die. Some part inside of her just didn't wat to believe it.
'' Don't lie Ruka , we both know..'' She paused for a moment.'' My time is over...It was planned this way..please remember...i love you..''
Haruka could feel hot tears fall down her face.'' Don't -'' Haruka watched a tear fall down from her own face which landed on Michiru's cold face , warming the skin.
'' Don't cry , Ruka.'' The smaller girl sobbed.The wound on her shoulder was starting to sting again causing her to flinch.
'' I love you too Michiru.'' The blonde then said suprising the aqua haired girl.
'' Y-you..do ?''
Haruka just nodded as she kissed Michiru on her head.'' I do.''
'' I'm glad you're here.'' Michiru whispered but then her body went limp and lost consciousness. Haruka closed her eyes fighting the tears that were treathening to fall. She begged the gods to take her instead of the girl who lay in her hands.
A naked truth revealed
Haruka's eyes flew open as she suddenly remembered everything.Their kiss , their love...Michiru.The Sailor Senshi , everything.The blonde who had been fighting so hard to break through suddenly regretted her wish to remember.
