Blind

Haruka moved to look at the direction of her door as she heard someone knock. She was putting on her usual outfit, white button down shirt and comfortable black slacks. Last night she and Michiru sat down at talked until the poor girl fell asleep on her bed. Haruka couldn't bring herself to take Michiru to her own chamber so that night both of them slept together. Michiru slept cuddled up to Haruka's warm body while Haruka outlined Michiru's features with her fingertips as she somehow drew a picture in her mind of how Michiru looked like.

"Coming!" Haruka said out loud and twitched afterwards as she thought that she had woken up her bed partner. She heard Michiru groan and move against the bed sheet but her breathing stayed the same; soft and steady. Haruka finished buttoning her shirt and made her way over to the door. She opened the door and closed her eyes as she nodded at whoever was on the other side.

"My queen, good morning!" A small scrawny old woman said as she bowed to the queen.

"Morning." Haruka said in a strong tone.

"I come in behalf of the general and he told me to give this to you." She whispered not sure to do afterwards. Haruka moved her hand forward with her palm open to the old woman. The maid placed the big envelope on Haruka's hand and patted her hand.

"Thank you. Tell General Sasuke that I appreciate his research and that I will call for him soon." Haruka said as she patted the envelope.

"Of course! Have a nice day, my queen." The old woman said as she bowed once again before she left.

Haruka walked back to her chamber and opened the envelope as she took a sheet paper out. She knew that in it were the names of everyone that were in her mother's last reunion. She walked to a small desk she had and placed the paper on it. She left it there before she walked over to her bed. She smiled softly and moved her hand to touch Michiru's waist as she shook her softly. "Morning." She whispered as she sat beside the sleeping form that was Michiru.

Michiru made a soft annoyed sound as she felt that someone was waking her up yet she jut grabbed a pillow and placed it over her head. "No." She mumbled.

Haruka laughed softly and moved to give her a kiss on her cheek but found that she was kissing the pillow. "Michiru, wake up. I need your assistance." She pulled the pillow away from her and leaned to nuzzle her neck. "Wake up."

Michiru groaned and opened her eyes as she looked around. She was thinking she was in her chamber. She gasped and sat up as she found herself in Haruka's chamber. "I didn't sleep in my room!" She announced.

Haruka quickly laughed and patted her waist once again as she shook her head. "No you didn't. Come, I need you to read me a list of names."


Haruka growled softly and started to scratch the back of her neck. Every name that was in that list was names of people she knew all too well. All were queens, kings and princesses that were friends of the family. Some kings even watched her grow up and had great admiration for her mother. Was it an accident? Was her mother suddenly sick and died because of that sickness? Now she couldn't know since her body was buried. "Damn it all!" She slammed her hand against the desk. She felt useless and dumb. "I don't know hat to think of anymore! There was not a new queen or king or princess in that meeting! Everyone there has been acquaintance with us in some way! I…" She sighed as she stood. "I really don't know what else to do." She groaned as she moved her hands to rest on the chair she was just sitting on.

"Try to calm yourself, queen." Michiru whispered as she took a look at the list once again. "Maybe this list isn't complete! Or maybe it was someone that wasn't in the meeting."

"Yes, maybe." She whispered as she sat back on her chair and rubbed her eyes.

"Can I get you something?" Michiru asked as she placed the list besides Haruka as she smiled at her.

"Please, do. I can have a shot of anything right at this moment." Haruka whispered as she rubbed her temples and closed her eyes. Michiru nodded and bowed to her before she walked out of the chamber.

Haruka opened her eyes once again and brushed her lower lip with the topside of her index finger. "Someone that wasn't in the list? So, the list is incomplete?" She groaned as she patted her desk as she searched for the list. When she found it, she moved it to her face and blinked various time with a confused glance. She placed the piece of paper closer to her nose and sniffed it. "It has a woman's perfume. Why?" Haruka blinked as she felt the texture of the paper against her skin. "Bleh! Maybe it was the old maid's." She said to herself but then took the paper to smell it again. "No, this is not a cheap perfume. Why would the general give me a sheet of paper with the aroma of expensive perfume?"


Michiru laughed softly as she bowed at the maids inside the kitchen. They were now treating her like she was some how a high rank than them. Most of them asked her how it was to be the Queen's personal maid and how does she "really" looks like when she is not bounding her chest like she does. Michiru just had to laugh and bow at them as she walked out while holding a tray with a bottle of the finest champagne and a fine cup made out of glass. "I guess what Haruka said is true. I'm the envy of all the maids all over the castle." She whispered to herself as she made her way down the hall.

"Well, well! Look who it; the girl from the tavern!" A rough male voice made Michiru stop suddenly. She looked around and gasped when she felt the tray from her hands been pulled by someone. "You won't need this, sweetheart." She opened her eyes wide and backed away slowly as she discovered who it was, one of the guards from the tavern that were sexually harassing her weeks ago. "Well, by your reaction, I guess you still remember me." He chuckled as he moved closer to her. Michiru kept on backing away from the man until she bumped into someone else. She turned around and gasped as she saw another guard. "You still owe us something. Some tension relief time." He chuckled as he nodded at the other guard. The one standing behind her placed his big hand over her mouth and prevented her from screaming as he pulled her to a small storage room.


Haruka growled softly as she walked around her room. "What's taking her so long?" She whispered as she turned to face the door. She frowned and softly cursed as she grabbed unto her blind stick and busted out of her chamber. She raised her nose up as she tried to look for Michiru scent. She started to move in circles until she felt a soft and fading sea smell. "Michiru." Her eyes turned into a brighter yellow as she felt something going on with the smaller girl. Somehow she felt a strange bond over her. Something connected them both she didn't know why but she wasn't going to stand still and wait for Michiru in her chamber. She let out a growled and started to follow Michiru's soft gentle smell as she walked fast down the hall with one hand touching the walls as she made out where she was going. She passed one of the doors that led to the kitchen a couple of steps later she cursed loudly as she almost felled when she stepped over something. The sound of broken glass filled the hall and she knew she just bumped into maybe a cup. "She was here but where?" She groaned and stood there as she breathed in deeply.

One of the guards placed a hand over her moist lip as she cried and whimpered for them to let her go. They chuckled and the smaller one moved to lick her tears away as a wondering hand found her right breast. He chuckled and gave it a squeeze as Michiru yelp and cry loudly yet the hand on her mouth wouldn't let her be heard. "Shut up or will knock you unconscious! Now that won't be as much fun for you."

Haruka moved her face quickly as she heard some weird sounds. She perceived a chuckle then a cry for help. She smelled male arousal and tears, alcohol, the stench of dirty backyard guards; she could smell Michiru… She walked to a wall and moved her hand and that's when she felt a door. Her eyes grew wide and she opened the door completely as she stuck her face inside. The guards inside didn't move at all. They just stared at the blind yet tall and strong woman in front of them who held a blind stick as it was some sword of bat. Michiru couldn't move. A knife was being held near her throat as it warned her that if she made any kind of noise she was going to regret it…

Haruka frowned, as she didn't hear anything yet the combination of smells was driving her mad. Then, she grabbed her blind stick as it was supposed to be held and turned around as she made it look like she was bout to leave. "You should know that all my years of training pay off in moments like this. How foolish of you and stupid of you to think you can try and rape the queen's maid." She snarled angrily. Right there, both guards gasped. That's all she needed to hear to make out the guards and make out where Michiru was standing. "Thanks!" She let out a scream as she grabbed her blind stick and used it as a fencing sword she hit the taller guard on his stomach. He let go of the knife and Michiru.

The aqua haired girl started to cry full of fear as she ran over to Haruka and almost tackled her as she wrapped her arms tightly around her neck and buried her face on the queen's chest. She cried loudly and thanked Kami that Haruka appeared when she did. Haruka wrapped one arm around Michiru's waist and, quickly, moved her blind stick with her other hand as she slammed it across the smaller guard's face. That made him fall to the floor unconscious with a couple of loose tooth. The other one was out of breath, coughing and holding on to his stomach as he fell to the floor. "Pathetic." She whispered as she heard the coughing. Haruka then moved her head to face Michiru as she wanted to see the smaller woman who was clinging to her for dear life. Haruka heard some guards run over to her as they heard the racket. She let out a long sigh as she let go of the blind stick and wrapped her arms around the still crying Michiru. "Did they hurt you!? Michiru did them… Did them…"

"No! No they didn't." She sobbed loudly as she hugged the tall blonde tighter. "Haruka I was so damn scared! I thought… Haruka, they were going to…" She forgot all formality. She called the queen by her name; no honorifics; no nothing. Just her name. Haruka didn't mind at all. In a moment like this she knew damn well that even she would forget all the formalities.

"They are going to die. I'll make sure of that." She whispered as she buried her face in Michiru's neck as she smelled that sea scent that intoxicated the blonde's senses. She waited until Michiru calmed herself. She was no long crying but she still was a bit agitated by what happen. Haruka moved some inches away from Michiru as she moved her hand to wipe her tears away from her face before kissing her eyebrow. "Shh. Shh. I won't let anyone hurt you." Haruka whispered to her as she tightened her embrace and pulled the smaller and soft body closer to her strong and tall one. She felt the presence of one of the castles guards behind them. Haruka turned around and, with a growled that made the man tremble, she ordered to have them both tortured to death.


She closed the door behind her as she kept one arm still over the smaller girl's shoulder. Michiru let out a sigh as she moved away from the blonde. Haruka leaned on the door and kept her head low as she started to think of a way to make the girl forget about what happened today. Her eyes traveled around the darkness as she searched for her, her heart was about to burst. She hated being blind. She hated not being able to see the small woman that little by little was making her weak in a good way. Her steps were slow and lazy as she moved to the middle of her chamber. Her arms were dangling by her sides as she stood there while hearing Michiru's sobs. It was funny. Poor Michiru wasn't safe even in the castle. "What time is it?" Haruka asked. Her voice was as soft as silk and that made Michiru look up at her.

"It's a quarter pass noon." Michiru's voice answered as she stared at the tall blonde. "Why do you ask, my queen?"

Haruka shook her head as she strolled around her room without her blind stick. She had left it back in the hall where the horrible incident happened. She was sure that some guard or maid will leave it on her bed pretty soon. It was a matter of who found it first. She opened one of her large closets and took out one of her many sparring fencing swords. "Listen. Everywhere I go, you will go with me. From this day forward you will not leave my side. Not ever." She said as she gripped her fencing sword tighter. "Let's go outside. I am supposed to be training right at this moment." Haruka whispered as she started to walk over to the door. Michiru nodded and followed her close. She was about to open the door for the queen but was caught off guard when Haruka opened it for her and stood up straight as if she was opening it to a Princess. "Ladies first." She chuckled.

"Oh? And what are you supposed to be?"

Haruka laughed softly. "I'm merely a stupid mortal that is opening the door to a goddess." Michiru blushed and looked at the floor before walking out.


She sat down and watched Haruka's fast and strong movements. Michiru was blushing at all time. She had never seen the queen in action. She was strong bold and just mesmerizing. With every movement she made you could see the muscles moving under her soft yet tight skin. At one point Michiru just stared at her legs. They were long strong and well built yet, they were so graceful as she moved around and stretched them and then went back to kneel as she kept thrusting her sword forward to her instructor. How can a blind woman fight better than a man that could see her and predict her every movement? Michiru didn't know she was just staring and sitting down like a little girl on the floor as she watched the queen move around.

Now and then Haruka would let out a yell to take her attacker off guard. She would thrust her sword forward completely. Michiru had to lick her lips at the sight. The queen's body was so tense right in that moment and every single muscle was outline for Michiru's visual pleasure. Haruka had her eyes closed like she was concentrating in everything around her. At one moment the instructor moved away from being in front of her. This made Haruka thrust her sword forward and almost fall when she lost her balance but she quickly stood up straight and took a deep breath as she tried to find the older man. She moved her free hand forward and spoke some words silently.

Michiru couldn't what was the queen doing until a strong gust of wind came out of nowhere and made her yelp a she was almost blown away. The wind carried to Haruka the scent of her instructor, and Michiru's. She chuckled and quickly attacked again. This time, she received a painful yelp from the older man who now was on his knee. "Got you." Haruka whispered as she stood up straight. She moved the blade to her face and made a swift movement with it as she bowed. "That was good! You gave me quite a work out, old man." She whispered as she moved her hand to her pocket and took out her personal handkerchief. She rubbed her neck and sighed as she felt the small drops of sweat run down her face. Michiru was in awe, she never though the taller woman could look so sensual with just standing there covered in sweat. Her hair was wet all over and it made some strands of blonde hair stick to her forehead.

The old man let out a chuckled as he stood up and rubbed the place where Haruka's sword had harshly touched him. "My queen, you could be a bit gentler. The sword may not wound me but it hurts a lot when you thrust it into my ribs." He chuckled as he bowed at the tall woman. He was amazed at how much she resembled her father's battle skills as every day passed.

Haruka laughed softly and bowed again. "I am sorry. I just got carried away."

Michiru stood up and quickly ran to Haruka. She took the handkerchief from her hands and moved to wipe the blonde's face as a soft pink shade colored her cheeks. "What was that?"

Haruka blinked and moved to face the smaller woman. "What was what?"

"That wind gust. You practically commanded the wind around you to do as you please."

Haruka smiled and grabbed Michiru's hand and pressed it to her now dry yet hot face. "As the queen of the Wind planet I have magical control over it. It's my birthright. Just like Makoto from Jupiter can control the lighting and Ami from mercury can control ice." She whispered before she kisses Michiru on the palm of her hand. A jolt of electricity suddenly ran through Michiru's entire body and stopped at her stomach. "I guess I need a bath and so do you." She chuckled softly as she opened her eyes to search for the smaller girl. "Ever been in a pool?"

"Pool?"

Haruka just smirked as she picked the smaller girl on her arms. This earned her a surprised yelp from Michiru. "Old man, you can go and take your nap." Michiru gulped and held on to Haruka's neck. She was tall but, right at that moment; she thought a giant was holding her! "I guess you don't have any swimming attire do you?" Haruka asked her as she took the opportunity to squeeze her body to hers and take in her scent.

Michiru shook her head. "No."

"Hmm. It's okay. You won't need any."

"What?"


Michiru eyes were fixated in her surroundings. She was standing in a large poolroom located under ground. She could speak and hear her own echo through out the place and it looked like it has been built not so long ago. She was fascinated somehow by it. She felt like she could stay there forever. "Wow! This is really something!" She said as she walked around the edge of the pool and looked down at her reflection on the water.

Uranus was a planet filled with deserts. There were almost no seas, oceans or lakes. All the water they received came from underground. Haruka had only seen the ocean thanks to her various trips to Earth. Later on she was informed that Neptune was full of water bodies and that angered her since, she had lost her sight and therefore she wasn't able to see those seas and lakes. She would've given everything she possessed in order to be able to see the most beautiful water bodies in the entire galaxy.

"My father, before he died, wrote some sort of a contract or will that said that the heir of Neptune was supposed to become my life partner." Haruka spoke. Her voice sounded a bit louder than usual thanks to the echo in the huge room. She sighed and stripped herself from her clothes and stood in front of Michiru in all of her glory. She didn't mind at all she was quite comfortable with her body besides, Michiru had seen her naked before so, why be so shy about it? Yet Michiru's face turned to a deep red as she turned around from Haruka and gave the queen her back. "Since my future spouse was supposed to enjoy long days in the sea and swimming, my father, decided to build this pool for her to enjoy." She whispered as she walked slowly over to Michiru and placed her hands on her slender shoulders. Michiru tensed up and closed her eyes as Haruka's hand slowly began to undress, touch and caress the new and exposed flesh. "I never met her. A mysterious storm attacked that planet and killed every living creature in it. Some people say that the princess was included in that massacre. She was only six months of age."

"My queen…"

"Yes, I would've loved to meet her just to see if she really was my soul mate like the elders said. To be honest back at my 21st birthday ball I really didn't feel a connection with anyone. Not even one of the Princesses evoked a feeling of belonging, love…" Haruka moved closer to the smaller girl and brushed her lips against the naked shoulder and made Michiru shivered. "and passion. Not one of them. Yet, as soon as I felt you in my room; when you first touched my hand to help me sit up, I felt like somehow I was bonded with you. Yes, it sounds weird. I know, but it's the truth." She whispers as she moved away from the now naked girl. "Don't be shy, Michiru. Remember I can't see you." She chuckled at that. Michiru turned around and looked at Haruka. Her eyes wandered as she just stared at the glorious body that was Haruka. Strong arms, small yet perfectly round breasts, muscular stomach and the legs… She had to gulp down. Her legs where long, lean yet you could see how strong they were. She had to be a runner back when she was a teenager. That was the only explanation for such strong and beautiful legs. "Did you felt something when you first saw me?" Haruka spoke.

"I've felt something from you since I was a child. Every time someone talked to me about your battles. I've always wanted to meet you. Like getting reunited with a lost friend." Michiru whispered as her eyes went to the floor.

Haruka moved to Michiru before she touched the smaller girl's cheek softly. "Lost friend, huh?" Haruka laughed softly and wrapped her arms around Michiru's waist as she pressed her smaller frame to hers. "I think there is something more going on here and, if you give me permission, I want to find out what I'm actually feeling for you, if that's okay with you."

"You are asking a maid for permission, my queen?"

Haruka smiled. "Call me, Haruka."

"Haruka" Michiru smiled and the taller blonde shuddered, as she felt something run through her spine.

"Is that a "yes"?" Haruka whispered as she moved her face to rest her forehead against Michiru's at the same time a warm smiled appeared on her lips.

Michiru laughed softly before she moved forward and kissed the tall blonde's lower lip. "Yes." She said against the queen's lips as she gave her soft feather-like kisses that, little by little, were making the blonde loose her mind.

Without wasting any second, Haruka hugged her tightly and basically picked her up as she laughed and jumped on the pool beside them.
