Chapter 14 : You owe me nothing in return
I'll give you countless amounts of outright
Acceptance if you want it. I will give you
Encouragment to choose the path that you want if you need it
Michiru who was still asleep pulled Setsuna who lay next to her closer so she could rest her head on the older woman's shoulder. Setsuna blushed slightly. Michiru sertenly didn't know what she was doing in her sleep.' If she gets any closer i'm sure i won't die a virgin.' The green haired woman laughed at her own joke as a plan formed. Maybe there was one way to get out of here.' I can't transform without my hensin but Michiru still hasn't summoned hers , maybe there's a chance she can summon it before we die.'
Slowly Michiru opened her eyes and looked up at Setsuna who smiled at her.First Michiru didn't react on the fact she lay against Setsuna as if they were lovers but when she did notice she was fully awake and jumped up.'' A good morning to you too.'' Setsuna smirked.
'' Why didn't you push me off !'' The smaller girl yelled angrily.
'' I couldn't , your grip was way too powerful to escape from.'' The other answered making the smaller girl blush.
'' I'm sorry , i'm just used to hold someone or something close when i sleep.''
'' It's okay.'' Setsuna said and stood up too.'' Well do you still want to get out of this place ?'' Michiru just nodded.'' Okay , we don't have much time okay , so please forgive me for what i'm about to do.It's the only way.''
'' What's the only...'' Michiru couldn't finish her question because Setsuna already had picked up an iron stick that lay on the ground and started swinging at Michiru with it. Fastly the smaller girl ducked away.
'' Stop that !'' She screamed. The two guards who still guarded the cell turned around to see what was going on.When they saw Setsuna swing at Michiru with the iron stick they just stood there and watched the fight.
'' I say the aqua haired girl is going to end up death or in coma.'' The one said. The other just agreed by nodding. Again Setsuna swung the stick into Michiru's direction. The smaller girl could jump aside just in time but she wasn't fast enough. The iron stick hit her upper arm causing her to flinch and fall on the ground.
'' Please stop it !'' Michiru yelled , fear washing over her. What the hell was Setsuna doing ? The green haired woman just ignored Michiru's plead and held the stick up highly in the air ready to attack the smaller girl who closed her eyes. And as if it was the most natural thing to do Michiru suddenly held her own hand up in the air. Setsuna stopped her own attack to see what was happening.
You can speak of anger and doubts,
Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it.
You can share your so-called
Shamefilled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it.
The whole cell was suddenly lighted by a blue light blinding The two guards and Setsuna.When the light disapeared Michiru was no longer there but instead of that stood a young woman who was wearing a short skirt and a sailor uniform with high heals underneath it.'' Sailor Neptune is born.'' Setsuna said with a smile and put down the iron stick. The two guards just stood there.
'' What should be do ?'' The tallest of the demons asked. The other just strugged.
'' I don't know , Lucifer did only tell us to guard them.'' Was the dumb answer.
'' Okay.'' The other said. With that the two just went on guarding the cell. Setsuna and Sailor neptune sweatdropped. They had heared of stupid people but this , this wwas really stupid.
'' Since they are no treath to me or you...'' Neptune started.'' WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME !'' Setsuna jumped at the harsh tone in the others voice.
'' Well i'll call it survival instinct.'' The taller woman answered.'' I wasn't a hundred percent sure this would work since my powers are weakened by the evil aura that hangs around here but i figured you would transform..''
'' If i feared my life.'' Neptune finished for Setsuna who nodded.'' But why didn't it happen earlier ? I mean , why didn't i transform when Haruka was about to kill me?'' The green haired woman thought about it for a moment.
'' Well i guess , that was your inner voice stopping you since you and Haruka were lovers in a past life. Somehow your body and soul reconized her presence and didn't see her as a treath.''
Neptune nodded.'' It's possible and now let's get out of here !''
Minako walked into Lucifer's room with a seductive smirk on her face. The devil looked up at her.'' What do you want?'' He asked annoyed. Minako just ignored the tone in his voice and kept getting closer.
She really was disgusted by all of this. His rotten skin , his evil little eyes , it just didn't feel right.Lucifer had probably seen right through her facade.'' You're not here to seduce me are you ?'' She just shook her head.
'' I'm not here to seduce you or kill you , i just wanna have some fun with my master , that's all.'' She answered. On that moment Celcus appeared next to her and Haruka appeared behind Lucifer who sat back in his chair again.
'' Aha.'' Was all he said as he gestured Minako to come closer. She swallowed hard and started walking up to him again. It was then when Lucifer noticed Celcus.'' What are you doing here , is Tenoh death ?''
Celcus just nodded.
'' Then why are you here?'' Lucifer hissed. Minako was almost close enough for Haruka to attack but then , fate struck when Sailor Neptune and Setsuna stormed into the room followed by three guards.
'No , dammit !' Haruka hit herself to the head. This wasn't happening. She had been so close and now both Michiru and everybody who were involved with this plan were endangered.
'' Ah , So you finally reached your ultimate Senshi powers.'' It sounded more like a statement than a question and before Haruka could even come close enough to break his neck he stood up.'' Too bad that it's not enough to kill me. A hundred years ago you and that damn Sailor Uranus were able to kill me but that won't happen again.''
And there are no strings attached to it
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
'' Where is Haruka !'' Neptune demanded to know. Lucifer ignored her as he gestured Celcus to kill her. Much to the devil's suprise Celcus didn't obey him this time.
'' Kill her !'' Lucifer yelled causing Minako to flinch and jump back.
'' I'm done doing your dirty work , why don't you kill her yourself !'' Celcus yelled back knowing that those words could've been fatal for him but he didn't care. He wasn't going to work any londer for this devil who had betrayed both him and Haruka.
''If you wish to play it this way.'' Lucifer said with a calm voice which suprised everybody.Without any warning Lucifer created and little ball of energy in his hands and trew it into Neptune's direction.
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.
'' Michiru !'' Haruka screamed betraying herself by jumping out of the shadows.Shocked Lucifer looked at her.'So Celcus has betrayed me ever since then hasn't he ?' And again without any warning Lucifer created another energy ball and fired this one at the blonde demon who just had jumped out of the shadows.
Neptune who was still to shocked about this all got hit by the energy ball which went right through her body. Blood flew into all directions. Haruka felt paralyzed by this sight and just when the energy ball was about to hit her to she got pushed away by Minako who got hit instead of her.
Still not able to think Haruka landed on the cold floor and just stared at Neptune who was already de-transformed back into her former self.This wasn't happening. Just a few minutes ago she was so sure her plan would work but again she was proven wrong. She had never seen this one coming.Then she looked back at the blonde who had just saved her. The energy ball had killed the blonde girl that was for sure. Somehow Haruka felt sorry for Minako but on the other hand she felt relieved ( So do i ! ).
'' Too bad , are there anymore people who want to jump in front of Haruka ?'' Lucifer asked as he looked at Celcus and then at Setsuna who stared at Michiru's body.
When Haruka finally regained her composure she jumped up and ran over to Michiru's body and fell down next to her love.'' Michiru please say something.'' She begged as Michiru slowly opened her eyes and stared into Haruka's green ones.
'' I'm sorry.'' The smaller girls in her arms whispered.'' I didn't mean what i said , i love you.''
'' Yeah good for you.'' Haruka sobbed.'' Don't tell me that now , tell me when we're out of here and go home.'' Michiru smiled at that. Haruka knew there was no way to survive this.
'' You know the price you have to pay for dreaming don't you?'' Lucifer asked smirking.The blonde tomboy just ignored him and held Michiru close to her.
Lucifer was about to trow another energy ball at Haruka but Celcus stopped him by standing in front of his sight.'' Stop this Lucifer , you've done enough damage !''
'' Are you going all sweet with me too ?'' Lucifer asked suprised and amused at the same time.Until now Haruka and Celcus had always obeyed him , their sudden change even shocked him.'' It seems that Haruka's change has made you change too , i knew you two were connected but not this connected.''
'' Shut up !'' Celcus yelled as he created his own Energy ball and trew it at Lucifer who stopped it with one hand and broke it after that.
'' So weak.'' Lucifer yawned.
Haruka who was looking at the fight between Lucifer and Celcus looked back at the smaller girl in her arms.'' I won't give you up Michi.'' It was not a few seconds after that was said when suddenly the whole room began glowing a white light. The guards who still stood there watching dissapeared into the nothingness and even lucifer got blasted against the stone wall.
'' What the...?'' Celcus asked who covered his eyes with his hand. This light was even brighter than the sun could ever be.Finally after a few minutes the light dissapeared giving everybosy a chance to get used to the darkness again.
You can ask for space for yourself
And only yourself and I'll grant it.
You can ask for freedom as well
Or time to travel and you'll have it.
Setsuna was the first to regain sight and gazed at the flooting figure who stood next to Haruka and Michiru. Lucifer was the second to regain his strenght and stood up from the ground.
'' Who the hell are you !'' He yelled angry.
The figure who was wearing a white long gown just kept staring at Haruka who gazed back at the figure who seemed to be a blonde woman.'' Haruka , you've been brave , very brave but you've done bad things too.I'm here to make you a deal.''
'' First tell me who the fuck you are and then we'll talk !'' Haruka hissed as she tightened her grip around Michiru.
'' I'm the Angel of Destiny.'' The woman answered.'' The deal is , i'll bring your love back to life and in return i want your immortality.'' Haruka looked at the angel in front of her with confused eyes as if telling the angel she was crazy.
'' You mean returning Haruka her soul ?'' Setsuna asked. The angel nodded.
'' Exactly , i'll return her the soul Lucifer has stolen from her.'' Lucifer just rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe heaven was against him too now.'' But ofcourse , Haruka it's your choice.''
The blonde demon nodded and looked down at the dying girl in her arms.'' I told you Michi , we're going home.'' Michiru was kind of suprised by Haruka's choice but nodded. Then Haruka looked into the blue eyes of the angel and nodded.'' Go ahead , but first heal Michiru.''
Again the angel didn't say anything but just waved her hand over Michiru's body which began to glow a bright yellow light. The smaller girl took a deep breath as she tried to ignore the pain and then suddenly her wound closed , there was no longer any sigh of blood around them anymore and her eyes were full of life again.
You can ask to live by yourself
Or love someone else and I'll support it.
You can ask for anything you want
Anything at all and I'll understand it.
The angel now turned her head to face Haruka.'' Even though i give you your soul back , you still have to earn your place in heaven.'' The blonde didn't reply at all this time. This was worth it. She kept reminding herself. Ofcourse she didn't know wheter she and Michiru really were meant to be but she had decided a long time ago she would do anything for Michiru.
The angel lay her hand on Haruka's head and closed her eyes focusing on Haruka's mind completly. She smiled a bit. She knew she would meet this blonde again.And not in hell that meant.
Lucifer hissed something under his breath as he again created an energy ball aiming it on the Angel who was still busy with retuning Haruka's soul.
'' Oh no you don't !'' Setsuna yelled as she ran over to him and tackled him.'' I've always wanted to do that.'' She said after he hit the ground.
Haruka screamed out loud when suddenly a wave of pain washed over her. Fastly the angel pulled back and looked at the screaming blonde in front of her. Michiru had pulled away from the blonde the minute she began screaming.
The ex-demon started breathing heavily now as she opened her eyes which were completly turned black but then they returned to their normal form causing everybody to sigh in relieve.
'' Did it work ?'' Michiru asked. Haruka gave her a doubtful look. After the huge amount of pain she had just felt she really didn't want to hear it failed.
Then they all returned their attention at Lucifer who stood up from the ground.'' This time you won , but i'll promise you. I'll be back.'' With that he dissapeared into the blue.
'' For a moment i thought we were going to have to fight him.'' Celcus stated. Setsuna nodded as she fell down on Lucifer's trown relieved.
'' I love you Ruka.'' Michiru cried as she jumped into Haruka's arms.The blonde just held the girl tightly as she let her own tears fall. Yep it had worked for sure , because this was the first time Haruka had cried in years.
When the angel was done healing Minako who sat up she dissapeared leaving them alone again. Minako just looked at Haruka holding Michiru. And even though they made a deal Minako decided to strug it off and just leave them alone.
Again all the rules were broken and again people who said fire and water don't mix were proved wrong.
I love you too ,
This is the only kind of love
As I understand it
That there really is.
You can express your deepest of truths
Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it.
You can fall into the abyss
On the way to your bliss
I'll empathize with.
You can say that you'll have to skip town
To chase your passion and I'll hear it.
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
And there are no strings attached
The end
