Blind

Playful, gentle, childish, cute, beautiful, tender, patient, caring, seductive, sensual… Those were sides of Haruka that Michiru saw that day. They played around in that huge pool like they were little kids. She never heard Haruka laugh the way she did in the pool and never has she seen her treat her so gentle. Michiru was impressed, not only with Haruka, but also with herself. She didn't know she was able to swim like that. So freely, so perfect she couldn't believe it herself. Haruka didn't even swim like she did then again the water wasn't her element. All that time in the pool she felt so free so right with Haruka right besides her, swimming around her. Some times Michiru would think about Haruka's blindness. She moved around with out any care in the worlds like she really was able to see everything around her but when she opened her eyes all Michiru could do was look away. Beautiful deep green eyes were gone replaced by yellow pale ones but somehow Michiru just forgot about that flaw. The queen's smile was more beautiful and just made you ignore her weird colored eyes.

Michiru grinned as she stood in the middle of the room. Haruka was buttoning her white blouse and was also giving her back to the smaller girl while Michiru watched her closely. Michiru walked slowly over to the queen and wrapped her arms rightly around her torso from behind. "Thank you…"

Haruka, at first, jumped at the sudden contact but, when she heard Michiru's words, she frowned and patted her hands softly. "For what?"

"Saving me."

"It was my duty and I wouldn't want anyone to touch you without your permission. It's not right." Haruka whispered as she turned around to face her. "I would give my right arm to see you." She just couldn't stop herself from saying that. Every time she opened her eyes she thought she was going to finally be able to see Michiru but, as always, she was welcomed by the suffocating darkness.

Michiru could only chuckle as she hugged her tall blonde. A knock on the door interrupted both of them. Haruka let out a small growled and moved away from Michiru as she nodded at her. The smaller girl walked over to the door and opened it slowly. When she saw who it was on the other side of the door, she stood up straight and bowed her head. It was a tall, strong and serious looking middle aged man. "General Sasuke." She said his name out loud so Haruka would hear her.

The general bowed to her and then looked at Haruka. "I have a letter from The King of Earth, my lady."

Haruka frowned and made her way over to the door. She extended her hand and felt the envelope be placed on her hand. She then bowed and moved away from him. "Thank you. You can go now, Sasuke."

"As you wish." He said as he smirked at Michiru before he bowed at her. He licked his lower lip and winked at her. "See you…"

Michiru frowned in disgust and closed the door behind her. Haruka walked over to her desk and sat down as she placed the envelope on the desk. Michiru quickly moved to her side and looked at the envelope. Haruka, with her eyes closed, smiled and nodded. "I know you are just dying to read it, aren't you?"

"I'm not!"

Haruka chuckled and scratched the back of her head. "Read it to me, please."

Michiru nodded and took the letter in her hands and read it. She coughed softly as she cleared her throat and leaned on the desk as she began to read. "Dear, Haruka Teno'u of Uranus. I would like for you to please, accept my condolence. I'm sorry that your mother died right after your birthday and I would also like to be forgiven for not attending to your birthday. My wife Serenity and I were busy getting ready to receive our daughter. To make it up to you I would appreciate if you come by and visit us since I know that you just adore staying at Planet Earth. We will be waiting for you. Sincerely, Endymion." Michiru said as she finished. She looked over at Haruka who had a small smile on her face.

"So, Usagi-chan is pregnant, Lucky him, he is going to have a family so soon." She chuckled and shook her head as she rubbed her hands together. "Ever seen snow?" Haruka asked all of the sudden.

"Snow?"

"I will take that as a "no"." Haruka laughed stood up as she cracked her back. "Ever seen the sea?"

"No." Michiru said as her eyes stared at the ground.

Haruka smiled and nodded. "It's one of the most beautiful things you could've ever seen. The ocean reflects the sky as it makes it look like there are two skies and when the sun is setting, the water takes this beautiful color. It has sparkles all over it and it makes the surface look like it has small sparks of fire all over it. The sea looks even more alive that way. The sand…" She smiled and ran a hand through her hair. "It's like the color of my hair. My mother used to say that. When I was a little girl, she used to take me to planet Earth just to play around in the sand. I am kind of scared of the ocean though. It's so mysterious and dangerous you don't know when it's going to be your friend or your worst enemy." Haruka laughed at that. "Its funny that I am I'm scared of the sea and ocean since I was supposed to marry the queen of the Sea planet." Michiru stared at her as she saw sadness in her features. "Sometimes I wonder if she is still alive somewhere." She chuckled and shook her head at that. "Would you go to Planet Earth with me?"

Michiru's eyes light up and she nodded. "Of course!"

"All right then! Pack your belongings! We are leaving tomorrow!"


"How could you? I thought I meant something to you!" A young woman yelled as she filled the throne room with her echo.

"I'm sorry. I just can't give up my wife and daughter for you. What we had, Kamiya, we were young." A tall blonde man whispered as he tried to calm the young woman. "I'm a king. I can't just leave everything. I love my wife and I love my daughter."

"Now that I finally found you, you are taken by that bitch!"

"You are speaking of the Queen of Uranus! Respect her!"

"She can be the Queen of this damn galaxy! I don't give a rat's ass! She stole you from me!"

He let out a loud sigh as he ran his hand through his blonde her as at the same time he closed his green eyes. "She didn't steal me from you. My heart always belonged to her in the first place."

Silence consumed the throne room. Small green eyes peeked in to see what was going on. "Papa?" A small girl whispered as she watched her father.

The tall blonde man turned around to look at his daughter as his eyes grew with surprise. "Ruka-chan! What are you doing here? Where is your mother?"

"Eating" She simply replied.

The tall woman smiled as she saw the little girl. You could almost confuse her with a small boy thanks to her haircut and her clothing. "She looks like you." Kamiya declared as she looked at the King of Uranus. "If I can't have you, I will have her." After she said that, she turned and walked away from the King. He, on the other hand, laughed at her words.

"I doubt it. It has been written. My daughter shall marry the Princess of Neptune." The king spoke firmly as he raised his head with pride.

"Will see about that…"


Haruka let out a gasp as she sat up on her bed. A flashback? A dream? A nightmare? Who was that woman? Why wasn't she able to make out her face? "Papa." She whispered to herself as she frowned. "I don't remember anything like that actually happening to me." She sighed and raised her knees so she could rest her arm on it. "Kamiya" She said the name but no one came to mind. "Kamiya! Kamiya!" Who the hell is she?" She groaned as she lay on her huge bed once again.

"Can't sleep?" A soft voice interrupted her thoughts. It was Michiru. Ever since that incident with the guards Michiru moved to sleep in Haruka's chamber near her.

"I had a weird dream. More like a flashback but now that I am awake, I don't recall ever having that memory. My father was talking to this woman called Kamiya I was there watching them." Haruka scratched her head now with both hands as she closed her eyes. "Doesn't matter, go back to sleep, Michiru."

"Hai." Michiru murmured as she went back to sleep in the sofa bed near Haruka's bed. That was temporary though. Haruka promised she was going to get her a bigger and comfortable bed when they came back from their trip.

Haruka let out a loud sigh and rubbed her eyes, as she got ready to just doze off again. Her mind kept going back to her dream. She now wondered if she was able to see this Kamiya person she could remember her. She damned her blindness once again angry with herself.


Earth

"Huh? The queen of Uranus is here? Haruka?" Endymion blinked confused as e tilted his head to the side. "I thought Haruka was the princess…"

"Her mother died some days ago and she proclaimed herself Queen of Uranus. She came here because you called for her, my king." The guard said as he looked at Endymion's confused glare.

Endymion shrugged still puzzled.. He didn't call for her but of course being Haruka one of his wife's good friends he couldn't just deny her. "Well. Let her in! I can just leave the queen of Uranus without a place to stay!" He chuckled as he waved his hand at the guard. The guard nodded and bowed as he turned around leaving Endymion alone.

"Haruka came to visit?"

Endymion turned to the side to face his beloved wife. He smiled as she watched her make her way towards him in all of her pregnant glory. One of Serenity's hands lay upon her child filled belly as she tilted her head to the side as she watched her husband walk towards her and pet her stomach before he kissed her forehead. "That's how it looks like."

"Well, I'm glad she did! I haven't seen her in a while but still, she never comes over unannounced." She said as she closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband's tender kiss.

"Apparently, I called for her. I really don't recall ever sending her a letter or anything but, if her visit makes you happy, how can I say no to her? Besides, she is also a good friend of mine." Endymion smiled and turned over to the throne room entrance heard footsteps coming their way. He frowned as he watched the tall strong blonde walk inside while she was being lead by a smaller aqua haired woman. He inspected the Queen of Uranus. Her steps weren't as confident as they used to be and she appear to be looking else were instead of in front of her and over to them. "Haruka-san?" He blinked various time as he noticed how the blonde smiled deeply and nodded.

She recognized the king's voice and so she held on to her blind stick closer to her as she whispered some words in Michiru's ear. Michiru nodded and let go of her hand as she now stood beside her. "Endymion! How are you doing, my friend?" She asked as she extended her arm in the direction she though he was. The echo was giving her a hard time making out where her long time friend was.

"Haruka-san, what happen to your eyes?" Serenity spoke and made Haruka twitch a bit. How could she miss Serenity's presence?

Haruka's hand fell to her side as she bowed to the moon Queen. "Forgive me Serenity, for not greeting you. I didn't know you were here."

"Haruka…" Serenity called to her not using any honorifics. Was it bad enough that she had lost her father and her soul mate all the same day now she just got words that her mother also die and plus she was blind? "Haruka, I'm right in front of you. Can't you see me?"

Haruka closed her eyes and let out a depressive sigh. "I've lost my sight after my 21st birthday. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude."

Michiru stared at Haruka, her shoulders were low and it made it look like she was tired all of the sudden. Without thinking, Michiru slipped her small hand into Haruka's big one and gave it a soft squeeze.

"No need to be sorry, Haruka. It is I who should be asking for your forgiveness for not knowing. I'm sorry about your mother." Serenity whispered as she walked over to the tall blonde tomboy. She smiled and even though she knew Haruka couldn't see her, she threw her arms over Haruka's neck and pulled her in for a tight hug as she rubbed her pregnant body against Haruka. That's when Haruka noticed the state of the Moon Queen's pregnancy. She smiled at that and moved away to kiss the smaller girl's forehead and also to pet her stomach. "She says "hi"." Serenity said before she giggled as she saw Haruka's warm smile.

"Hello there, princess." Haruka chuckled and moved her hand to Michiru. The aqua haired girl quickly took the queen's big hand and smiled at the Serenity. "This is Michiru. She will be my companion for the whole trip. I would like if you treated Michiru with the same respect that you would treat me." Haruka smiled as she squeezed the smaller girl's hand.

"Oh, but how rude of me! You guys must be tired! Let me get you two a bedroom." Endymion said as he called over some guards to help them with their packing.

"One bedroom with one bed would be fine." Haruka said. Michiru chocked with her own air and started to cough as she heard the queen's word. Haruka just chuckled.


"Kamiya-sama"

"I don't want you to use that name anymore. Someone in the castle might recognize it." A tall woman spoke as she rubbed her white pale hands softly as she looked up at the silver haired man. "Where is she?"

"Right now, she is in planet Earth, like you asked." The man answered as he watched the woman with a serious face. "Do you think this will work? Haruka isn't that stupid she will see right though this."

"No one knows where the princess of Neptune is. She might as well be dead. No one can prove me wrong." She chuckled as she moved her brown curly hair away from her face. "Haruka will think I'm her soul mate and marry me right away. She has to." She smirked. "Her father left a will and a contract saying that it shall be done like that, right Sasuke-kun." Her blue orbs looked up at the middle-aged man as she smiled wickedly at him. "You got the paper work all cut out for me, and I thank you. It's funny what rage can do to you. You were in love with the now dead queen of Uranus and I am in love with the power of the wind. We couldn't have what we wanted. But one of us will and soon you will be right beside me ruling Uranus. You won't be Haruka's secretary anymore."

Sasuke's gaze went down to the floor as he scratched the back of his neck. "It wasn't love it was more like an obsession. A beautiful, tall, powerful woman married another man who was like a brother to me."

"Makes you angry, huh?"

"Pisses me off." He whispered as he closed his eyes angryly.

"Don't tell me you felt something run through you when you saw her gasping for her last breath in your arms. Not in the king's but your arms."

Sasuke smirked. "A dream comes true."

"It is time for my fantasy to become reality. When Haruka comes back from her little trip, I will become her wife and I will marry her or she is just going to get arrested by the galaxy soldiers. It is written in the will with her father and mother's signature."


"Well, here is the room. It is the biggest guest room in the castle so I'm sure both of you will be pretty comfortable here." Endymion said as he walked inside the chamber as he looked around the place. "What do you plan on doing now, Haruka? Rest a bit? Go to the beach? You always went to see the sea when you were here. I heard the beaches over the Caribbean are as beautiful as ever. You should check them out."

Haruka let out a low chuckled as she stood beside Michiru. "Want to go to the beach?" Haruka asked as she placed one hand on Michiru's shoulder.

"Hmm, sure!"

"Yeah well, you need some kind of swimming wear. There are going to be other people over there I don't want them to look at you weird or anything." Haruka turned to where Endymion was standing.

He chuckled and shook his head. "I will see if I can fix that."


Haruka crossed her arms over her chest as she mumbled something about how long could it to put on a simple bikini. She was wearing a black top with some long light black pants. She had put it on herself and she was fast about it and she was blind. How long could it take for Michiru who had her sight perfectly healthy? "Maybe she hasn't worn something like that in her life and she is having a bit of trouble putting it on" Haruka smirked a bit and scratched the back of her neck as she waited out side the swimsuit store right beside the beach. She heard the small seashells that were hanging above the door move and she knew someone had gotten out of the store. She sighed as she feels someone touching her hand. "It took you long enough."

"I'm sorry but I've never wore anything like this" Michiru whispered as she moved around uncomfortable as she felt exposed with her two-piece swimsuit.

Haruka only chuckled and took out a blindfold. "Put it over your eyes I don't want you to see the beach just yet." Michiru frowned a bit and took the blindfold as she put it over her own eyes. Haruka moved her hand and nodded when she felt that she had placed the blindfold on. "Okay, now... I know is weird to follow the lead of a blind woman but, please, trust me."

"I trust you." Michiru whispered as she blushed.

"Good, I'm glad." She smiled and took Michiru's hand. "Stay close, okay?" Michiru nodded as she grabbed Haruka's strong arm. The tall blonde smiled and started to walks towards the beach. The smell of the sea hit them both at full force. Haruka had to stop and take in the sweet and much missed scent. Well not that missed, some how Michiru carried that scent with her even if she had never been even near the sea. Haruka stood still and later she moved behind Michiru. Haruka wrapped her arms around her as she started to walk again as she lead her across the sand. Haruka used the sound of the waves as her guidance. Michiru's hand rested atop Haruka's as she sighed a bit. "In a moment, your feet will get wet" Haruka whispered in her ear and right there without a second delay both their feet became wet by an upcoming wave. Michiru smiled widely as her hands moved to take the blindfold off but Haruka quickly stopped her. "Hold on. Not yet."

"But."

"I thought you said you trusted me." Haruka said as she kissed her neck and pulled her body closer. "Trust me, Michiru. It's worth the wait." Michiru shuddered and nodded as her cheek turned to a soft shade of pink as she felt Haruka's leg push her own forward. This caused her to walk forward and into the water. Haruka too Michiru's hands in her own as she moved until she felt the water almost on her waist. She rested Michiru's hand over the water's surface as she let her feel the movements of the waves around them. Michiru smiled when she let her go and moved to take the blindfold off. "Remember what I said about the sun setting?" Michiru's eyes opened slowly as she stared at the horizon. "How it looked like there was fire floating over the sea's surface as it made it more alive than ever?" Haruka spoke as she described whole scenery to Michiru who was only staring at the setting sun. "We won't be needing the sun block today." Haruka chuckled as she hugged the smaller girl by her waist.

"Haruka, this is beautiful! I've never seen anything like it." Michiru turned to look at the tall blonde. She had her eyes closed while her head was tilting to the side as she faced Michiru. "I wish you could see it."

Haruka smiled and shook her head. "I've seen it countless of times. It was time you got a glimpse of it. Do you like it?"

"Like it? I'm in love with it! I feel like I belong here! Like I was born to live in a place like this" Michiru whispered as she turned to watch the sun and the reflection of it on the moving water. She started to take some slow steps on the sand under her feet.

Haruka stood there with her eyes close and with a smile on her lips as she listened to Michiru as she moved around. Suddenly she heard silence. Nothing but silence. Haruka frowned and started to move her hands on top of the water as she moved walked around. "Michiru?" Soft hands touched her face and she suddenly stopped dead on her tracks. "Michiru?" She heard a soft giggle and soft lips covered hers in a light caress that made her sigh in relief.

"I'm here." Michiru smiled up at the tall blonde. "I'm not going anywhere." Haruka sighed and pulled Michiru closer to her. Michiru smiled and kissed her once again as her lips traced Haruka's lower one as she closed her eyes.

"Promise?"

"I promise I will never leave you." The aqua haired girl said as she took Haruka's hand and pulled her into the water until it just below the chin, at least for Haruka, Michiru had to swim to keep herself eye level with the blonde. Why did it felt so right to be with her in a place like this? Surrounded by the sea and Haruka's arm she felt safe. "Haruka?"

She smiled and moved her hand to pet Michiru's lower back as she chuckled. "Hmm?"

Michiru wrapped her arms around the blonde as she moved in to kiss her again. She wanted to feel all of her; her arms, her skin and her strength. She pulled some inches away to get some air and looked at her closed eyes. Michiru frowned and petted her eyelids. "Open them."

"What's the use? Is the same with or without my eyes open." Haruka said with sadness in her voice.

Michiru couldn't even imagine how badly it hurt not to be able to take in every thing a round her and specially Haruka. To see her swim around in the sea she loved. "Please?" Haruka sighed and slowly opened them. Her yellow orbs moved around as they searched for Michiru but like she said there was nothing but darkness. "They were green right?" Haruka nodded. "Beautiful green eyes."

"I want to see you so badly."

"I love you" Haruka froze. She had heard those words so many times before by naïve girls just like Michiru. Most of them turned out to be girlish crushes but when Michiru said those words she knew she mean it. Her yellow orbs moved around once again as she sighed and held the small girl tight to her. Their faces mere inches away. Haruka could feel Michiru soft breath on her face and knew she was staring at her eyes. "I really do."

Haruka nodded. "I know." She smiled and moved to touch Michiru's lips with hers as she just enjoyed the soft sensation against them. "I love you too." She smiled as she received a tight hug and another love filled kiss from the girl in her arms. I love her… I love her.


Endymion looked up from his paper work as he heard a soft knock on his office door. Serenity peeked her head inside and smiled sweetly at her husband before she walked and moved to his side.

Endymion received her with a warm smiled and a gentle kiss on her child filled womb. "What's wrong?" He asked as he petted her stomach before he looked up at her.

"Nothing just that, I was thinking." Serenity replied as she then made her way to the chair. She sat down on it no before letting out a pained groaned. The pregnancy was taking a toll on her lower back.

"Your back hurts again?" Endymion looked at her as he raised his eyebrow. She nodded at him and rubbed her lower back. "You should be resting then. But first I want to know. What were you thinking about?"

"Haruka." She sighs and placed her hand on her stomach as she looked at him with a serious look. "Are you sure you didn't send her a letter or anything to invite her over? And if you didn't then who did it and why?"

"I really don't know. I haven't even asked her from whom she got that letter from. Anyways she is here and she is safe so…"

"Did you tell her you didn't call for her?"

"I thought it might be rude if I say that. I would make it look like I didn't want her over so I decided to stay quiet." Endymion said as he leaned on his chair and rubbed his tired eyes. "Tomorrow she is going to see snow with that Michiru girl; she seems to be having fun with her."

"Yes, I noticed. She seems like a good girl."

Endymion chuckled and stood up as he walked to his wife. "She seems like a good girl but it seems our dear friend is in love with a no body."

Serenity frowned and looked up at him. "If she loves Haruka and cares for her, if she helps her in this time of need, why should it matter if she has or doesn't has titles? I didn't like that comment you just made I think it was low."

"Sorry."

"For me, they look like a nice couple and I think if Haruka is able to smile right now it's because of Michiru." Serenity nodded at that and stood up. "I'm going to rest now." Endymion frowned as he watched her walk away from him and slammed the dor behind her.


Haruka's eyes were closed as some small hands worked on her hair as they ran through it, detangled it and combed it. She loved it; she loved it when Michiru played with her hair.

Both of them lay on their bed after they had changed into their sleeping outfits. One of Haruka's hands was locked around Michiru's slim waist while Michiru's torso laid on top of Haruka's as she just kept on playing her short soft blonde hair. "Don't stop, please. I'm about to fall asleep." Haruka whispered.

Michiru smiled and moved to give her a soft peck on the cheeks before she continued her caresses. "Did you ever have long hair?" Michiru asked as she now rubbed the back of her hand across Haruka's chiseled jaw. The blonde shook her head. "So, you always looked like a little tomboy?"

"Does that bother you?" Haruka asked as she opened one yellow eye and also arched her brow.

"No, I like it short." She smiled and touched the hair on the back of Haruka's neck.

"That tickles."

Michiru giggled and rested her chin on Haruka's shoulder as she inspected her. "The almighty queen of the wind planet is ticklish."

Haruka let out a low chuckled and moved her arm to rub Michiru's back. "Go to sleep, Michiru, is late."

"I want to keep looking at your face while you sleep. You look so peaceful like that."

"Then I won't be able to sleep myself. I envy you; I want to see you so badly." Haruka sighed and moved her free arm to cover her eyes. Michiru frowned and moved her arm away from her face. "Michiru, yYou never talked to me about your past."

Michiru sighed and rested her face on Haruka's chest. "What about it? I had a boring plain life, unlike yours."

"I rather have a boring life than a life where every action you make is because someone told you to do it."

Michiru sighed and rubbed Haruka's arm. "I was adopted by one of your father's guard when I was a little baby and I grew up in a poor house. I was lucky enough that I learned how to read and write. I helped my father around the house as much as I could until he died. I was fifteen, alone and jobless. So, I started to work at a tavern until your friend, the princess of Pluto rescued me and brought me here to take care of you."

Haruka frowned. "Setsuna brought you to the castle?"

"Hai. She did."

"How old are you?"

"Umm, I'm going to be twenty in two months, why do you ask?" Michiru asked and moved away suddenly when Haruka sat up.

"So, you are nineteen."

"Yes."

"You were adopted by one of my father's guard?"

Michiru tilted her head to the side as Haruka opened her yellow eyes. "I think I already said that. What's going on?"

"Back at the beach, you did something to steady the sea. For some seconds, I couldn't even detect you. It looked like you were standing still and next thing I know you are in front of me, like you controlled the sea in your favor to move around undetected." Haruka frowned and stood up from her bed. "I'm going to kill Setsuna" Haruka whispered out loud as she ran her hands through her hair. "She knew it all along! She knew this all along!" Haruka basically jumped while Michiru stared at her confused. "You! You…"

"Me?"

"The smell of the sea on you!, your skills as a swimmer even if you haven't even swam before! You told me back at the beach that you loved it! That you felt that you were born to live in a place like the sea." Haruka growled as she sat back on the bed. "You were adopted by the man that helped my father back when Neptune was attacked, you are nineteen years old and nineteen years ago, Neptune was attack and her princess disappeared! The child was just a baby! That explains Setsuna's friendliness with you!"

"I wouldn't call it friendliness. She was pretty rough with me the day you lost your sight, Haruka." Michiru whispered as she moved behind the tall blonde and wrapped her arms around her.. "Haruka?"

"I know this might sound a little bit crazy but, I think you are the lost Princess." Haruka smiled warmly. "My soul mate, my love. Neptune! My wife!" She chuckled as she turned to face her but found nothing but the same consuming shadows around her.

"Me? A princess? I was a poor girl daughter of an old guard."

"You." Haruka smiled again. "It doesn't matter who you are. You belong to me. As I belong to you."
