Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon if did I'd have lots of money and prolly wouldn't be writing fanfics, although I do own the characters of Haruko, Michiyo and any others not found in Sailor Moon.
"Ten'ou, Kaiou residence." Hotaru groggily answered the phone.
"Sorry to wake you up Hotaru its Rei can I talk to your mom or dad?" Rei said.
"Yea sure hang on a second." Hotaru set the phone down on her nightstand climbed out of bed and walked down the hall to her parent's room. At the door she could her muffled sounds and knew her parents were still awake. She knocked on the door waiting for a response.
"Hang on a second." Haruka called. A minute later Haruka answered the door wearing her bath robe with a light flush across her face. "What is it Hotaru? You should be in bed."
"Rei is on the phone she wants to talk to you." Hotaru said.
"Alright back to bed with you." Haruka said walking back into the room.
"Ruka what is it?" Michiru asked from the bed she was covered only by a sheet her face as red as Haruka's face a light coat of sweat on her skin.
"Rei is on the phone." Haruka said walking over to the bed and sitting down.
"This late? It's 11:30." Michiru said sliding over and resting her head in Haruka's lap.
Haruka picked up the phone and talked into it runing her hands through Michiru's hair. "What's up Rei?" she said sounding a little more annoyed then she intended.
"Sorry to bother you Haruka I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Rei asked.
"Michiru and I were just having a little sparring match." Haruka said causing Michiru to giggle.
"Ah right I…well I'll make this quick. A couple of kids came to the shrine tonight asking for a place to stay the night. I sense something odd coming from them so I went to read my fires. In the fire I kept seeing images of Haruko and Michiyo and feeling strong emotions of pain, fear, loss and hate. I think they are in danger." Rei said.
"Did you sense it coming from those kids?" Haruka asked.
"No that's the odd thing I sense a great power in them but I'm not feeling threatened from them." Rei said.
"Alright we'll keep our eyes open then thanks and if anything happens with those kids call us ok? You know Usagi doesn't want you fighting with how far along you are." Haruka said hanging up the phone she slide Michiru off her lap and stood taking her robe off and sliding back into bed wrapping her arms around her wife.
"What did Rei want?" Michiru said kissing Haruka's neck.
"She saw that the twins were in danger in one of her fire visions." Haruka said.
"What did she see?" Michiru said as she stopped kissing and rested her head on Haruka's chest hugging her tightly.
"Mostly images of the girls and some kids that are staying at her shrine. She feels they have some sort of power in them." Haruka said.
"Is it ok for her to be there alone you know she's due next month?" Michiru said.
"Rei said she didn't sense the danger from them. I told her to call us if anything happened." Haruka said running her hand through Michiru's hair again she love it's soft feel. "Michi maybe we shouldn't take the girls to the zoo tomorrow."
"Haruka you've been promising for weeks to take them they would be heartbroken." Michiru said. "Beside Hotaru, Usagi and Mamoru will be there with us if anything happens we should be able to handle it."
"I guess you are right but I'm going to call Makoto and ask her to come." Haruka said reaching for the phone but Michiru grab her arm stopping her.
"Call her in the morning I think you own me a rematch." Michiru said rolling over so she sat on Haruka's chest then leaned in and
passionately kissed Haruka.
(The next day at the zoo)
Haruko and Michiyo stood in a tree at the entrance to the zoo both had already transformed into their Sailor Fuku. Haruko wore the yellow and blue Fuku of Sailor Uranus while Michiyo wore the green suit of Sailor Neptune. After there parents had died and they were old enough Pluto had given them their henshin sticks and trained them to be senshi. They watched as Usagi and Mamoru arrived and then later as their parents and Makoto arrived. "Something isn't right here." Neptune whispered.
"What?" Uranus said.
"Lady Jupiter isn't supposed to be here." Neptune said.
"So what just means there is one more to stop it from happening." Uranus said.
"It doesn't seem right something had to cause this change in history." Neptune said.
"Yea so? We came here to change history didn't we?" Uranus said.
"We don't want to change too much." Neptune said. "We could…"
"They are moving come on." Uranus said cutting her off. They jumped through the trees making no more sound than the wind does until they were in a tree near the monkey cages.
Usagi once again was pretending to be a monkey causing Neptune to laugh. "I forgot the Queen did that." She looked over to Uranus who had her eyes closed. "Ruko are you ok?"
"I hate this place." She said opening her eyes.
"After today everything will be different." Neptune said.
"Yes after today." Uranus said then silently went back to watching her parents. It seemed like forever until they noticed a monkey charging at the bars growing as it ran. Within seconds it was through the bars and the Sailor Senshi were making their speeches. "Lets get closer but stay in the trees if we can keep from being seen the better." Uranus said. They jumped to a tree closer still watching as the senshi below fought.
"Submarine Reflection!" The Neptune on the ground shouted sending the blast towards the monster.
"No it's going to reflect it!" The Future Neptune said.
"World Shaking!" Future Uranus said throwing an energy ball at the building next to Neptune. The shock of the blast hit Neptune just enough to throw her away from the returned attack. She hit the ground and lay there.
Moon ran over to her checking her pulse. "She's ok just knocked out! Uranus you could have killed her with that blast!" Moon shouted.
"I didn't throw it!" Uranus shouted back then pointed at the tree the twins were in "It came from up there."
"A little help here!" Jupiter said as the monkey had her in a bear hug her face was turning red as the youma squeezed tighter.
"We have to do something or Lady Jupiter is gonna die!" Future Neptune said jumping to the next tree then down on the youma knocking it and Jupiter to the ground.
"Damnit" Future Uranus said jumping from the tree her sword in hand running at the youma but her path was blocked by Uranus. "Out of my way!"
"Over my dead body!" Uranus said charging at the future Uranus. "Who the hell are you?"
Their sword clashed sending the sound of metal hitting metal all across the zoo. "The youma is resistant to magic attacks!" Future Uranus yelled.
"And I'm supposed to believe someone who attacked my partner?" Uranus countered both verbally and physically.
"If I didn't she would be dead!" Future Uranus said moving to sweep Uranus but her opponent jumped leaving Future Uranus just enough time to run under her towards the youma. She ran as fast as she could with Uranus on her heels. Ahead of her Venus and the others had arrived and the youma was trapped in a love me chain. Future Neptune and the others threw attacks at it but the youma wasn't phased.
"Use your swords!" Future Neptune shouted.
"She's right it is resistant to all our magical attacks Uranus use your sword!" Mercury said looking up from her computer.
Both Uranus' leapt into the air soaring through until they landed on the youma their blades sinking into its flesh. Both of them grabbed on to it holding with one hand stabbing with the other as it thrashed around. Uranus was thrown from it hitting the ground hard. Future Uranus somehow managed to hang on finally climbing to the back of its neck she raised her blade up and sank it down into the base of the youma's neck. Unfortunately for her the youma used it's last dying breath to raise its sharp tail up piercing Future Uranus' right shoulder. The youma fell to the ground throwing Future Uranus to the ground. Future Neptune ran to her side holding her but was pushed away. "Get out of here!" Future Uranus yelled. Reluctantly Future Neptune stood and jumped into the tree disappearing.
Uranus and the others ran over to Future Uranus as she tried to sit up but fell back down her transformation disappearing. Mars and Uranus reached her first. "I know this girl!" Mars said.
"What the hell are you doing here!" Uranus yelled at Mars.
"I'm pregnant not invalid!" Mars said.
"Enough!" Mercury said dropping next to Haruko. "She's injured."
Mercury placed her hand on the wound applying pressure as Haruko looked up at Ami reaching her hand to her cheek she leaned up whispering, "Kimi" Before she kissed Ami and fell back down passing out.
"Uranus get me something to bandage the wound." Mercury said shaking her head wondering what the kiss was about and why this girl had called her daughter's name.
"I don't trust her not after she attacked Neptune." Uranus said.
"She unconscious she can't oh never mind I'll get it." Mars said walking off and coming back with some cloth.
Mercury bandaged the wound then looked up. "That will hold for now but she needs stitches we should take her to the hospital."
"No we'll take her to my house we have everything you need there and it's closer." Uranus said.
"Saturn!" Moon shouted seeing the youngest senshi stagger over one arm wrapped around Pluto and the other around Tuxedo Kamen.
"Their gone!" Neptune shouted as she walked up carrying Chibi Usa.
Moon ran over to the Senshi of the seas taking her daughter. "What?"
"Haruko and Michiyo they took them." Saturn said as Pluto and Tuxedo Kamen helped her to the ground. Mercury was over near in seconds checking her wounds. It looked like whatever attacked them was quite powerful both Saturn and Tuxedo Kamen were covered with wounds.
"There were more than Saturn and I could handle they took the girls and ran." Tuxedo Kamen said. "Strange men gold suits. A new enemy perhaps?"
Uranus turned to Haruko who was just starting to come to from passing out. She grabbed Haruko lifting her off the ground some. "Where did they take them?"
"Take who?" Haruko said.
"Don't mess with me where are they taking my daughters?" Uranus shouted.
"What? That wasn't supposed to happen!" Haruko said gasping in pain from her shoulder.
"And just what the hell was!" Uranus said.
"Uranus stop it you are hurting her!" Mercury said.
"Good!" Uranus said but the other senshi got her to let go and Haruko fell back to the ground passing out again.
(Later that day)
Future Neptune sat on the ledge of a window of her parents' house looking down at her sister. The room had vaulted ceilings so the window was quite a ways off the ground. Mercury had stitched up Haruko's shoulder but she was still asleep while the others waited around for her to wake up. Hotaru was lying on the other sofa resting from her own wounds. Michiru and Haruka were sitting at the table with the small pouch Haruko wore around her neck. "Setsuna is this what I think it is?" Michiru said holding up a key.
Setsuna walked over taking the key. "A time key. Where did she get this?"
Usagi looking over Michiru's shoulder picked up the transformation pen. "This looks just like my pen."
"Haruka what do you have there?" Michiru asked looking over to her wife who was staring at something in her hand. Without saying a word she handed Michiru a picture of the two of them on their wedding day. "How did she get this?"
"She's waking up." Makoto said.
Haruka was up and next to Haruko in a flash with the others right behind her. "Who are you?"
"Saito Kazushi." Haruko said.
"I know you are lying. Ami ran a check records check there is no Saito Kazushi from Sapporo. Who are you?" Haruka said but Haruko was silent. Haruka reached over to Haruko and pressed on her wound. "Who are you?"
Haruko cried out in pain turning her head away from Haruka as she cried. "Haruka stop it." Michiru said causing Haruka to stop but not move back. Michiru stepped forward tilting Haruko's head a little further revealing a birthmark that looked like a heart on the side of her neck. "It can't be. Haruko?"
Haruko laid there for minute staring at Michiru before she finally spoke, "H-How did you know?"
Michiru leaned down and hugged Haruko crying, "Do you really think I could recognize my own daughter? Where is Michiyo?"
Before Haruko could answer that she didn't know Michiyo dropped down from the window still in her Sailor Fuku. "Right here."
Setsuna was the first to speak holding up the key. "Where did you get this?"
"We stole it from you well the future you." Michiyo said transforming out of her Sailor Fuku and walking over to Haruko.
"Why?" Minako asked.
"To change the future or rather their past I'm guessing." Ami said.
Haruka turned back to Michiyo and Haruko who was still lying on the sofa. "What was supposed to happen today that you two would steal a time key to change it?"
Both were quiet until Haruko spoke up, "You were supposed to die."
"Both of you." Michiyo said.
Haruka walked up behind Michiru wrapping her arms around her waist remembering the world shaking blast that knocked Michiru out of the way of the submarine reflection attack. "That's why you threw the blast to knock her out of the way isn't it?"
Haruko nodded, "In our time line when mom was hit by her own attack she was thrown against a wall and impaled on a pole. You in a fit of rage attacked the youma and killed it but it also killed you. After that Setsuna-mama moved in and took care of us. When Crystal Tokyo was made we moved there and all the senshi took care of us. Ow my shoulder." Haruko sat up clutching her shoulder as a wave of pain came over her. Ami was at her side lifting up the bandages to check the wound until Haruko pulled away. "Don't touch me."
"Let me look at this I think one of the stitches broke." Ami said still looking at the wound.
Haruko pushed Ami back who lost her balance and fell. "I said don't touch me!"
"Haruko!" Haruka said as she helped Ami to her feet. "What the hell is this about?' Haruko didn't say anything just stared daggers at Ami. "Answer me!"
"In our time Haruko and Lady Mercury aren't on good terms." Michiyo said.
"Shut up Michiyo." Haruko said.
"Haruko don't talk to your sister like that!" Michiru said. "Why aren't you on good terms?"
Once again it was Michiyo who spoke up while Haruko remained silent. "Tell them Ruko or I will."
"Fine it's because of Kimi." Haruko said.
"What does my daughter have to do with any of this?" Ami asked thinking of her daughter who was just a year younger than the twins.
"We fell in love and you didn't approve." Haruko said.
"Why wouldn't I approve?" Ami asked.
"I'm not exactly a saint. You've always felt I was a bad influence on the next generation of inner senshi especially Kimi." Haruko said.
"I'm sure how she found out about you and Kimi didn't help either." Michiyo said.
"How did I find out?" Ami asked.
Haruko sighed then started, "It was Kimi's sixteenth birthday Crystal Tokyo had only been around for a few years. Kimi and I had been seeing each other for a while in secret I wanted to be the first to wish her a happy birthday so I sunk into her room at midnight and woke her up. We were lying in her bed cuddling and kissing each other before either of us realized what was happening her were making love. It was our first time. But I guess I wasn't the only one that wanted to be the first to wish Kimi a happy birthday you walked in on us while we were…" Haruko said trailing off.
"Oh my…" Ami said.
"You forbid Kimi from being with Haruko and the two of you haven't gotten along ever since." Michiyo said.
