Blind
Haruka stood outside her balcony from her chamber. She leaned against the railing and stood as if she was gazing at her planet. It was nighttime and as always the temperature dropped dramatically. Even if Uranus was a planet full of deserts, it was still a pretty cold place. The wind was blowing uncontrollably almost reflecting how Haruka felt at that exact moment: uneasy, hyper and uncomfortable. "Calm down…" Haruka whispered as the strong wind turned now into a soft calming breeze. She leaned on her elbows against the railing and closed her eyes as she felt the wind play with her hair. She chuckle at that. The element was playing with its master. It was like the wind had a life of it own. She inclined her head back a bit, as the wing blew more against her. Her hair got messy and she enjoyed every second of it. Haruka shuddered and stood up straight. She rubbed her left forearm as she tried to warm herself up. "That's enough for now." She said out loud and the wind stopped the childish game it was playing. Haruka smiled tenderly and nodded her head. "Thank you."
"Talking to your self?" Akiri's voice sounded from behind her. She walked out side the balcony and leaned ass she watched the lights of the planet.
Haruka frowned at first. "I was talking with the win.…" Then she sighed and moved her hand forward. The wind, once again, picked up its rage and blew against the two women. Haruka stood her ground though. She was used to the power of the wind still Akiri held on to the balcony railing.
Akiri blinked and looked at the tall blonde. Haruka made a quick movement with her hand and the wind stopped its violent attack. "Does the wind talk back?"
"Its body language is enough for me to know how it feels." Haruka said as she sighed. "And it is not happy today." As she said that, she walked inside her chamber followed by Akiri. Haruka sat down on her bed and rubbed her eyes slightly as she moved the bed sheets from her bed and got in not before removing her white blouse. She left the gauze on though.. "I'm going to sleep now."
Akiri stared at her and smiled as she made her way to the other side of the bed. She removed her robe and slipped into Haruka's bed. The blonde frowned as she felt the curly haired woman snuggle close to her not before she kissed her cheek. "Good night, queen." She smirked and petted her gauze-covered chest.
"Night." Haruka groaned a bit as she placed the sheet over her chest and closed her eyes as she turned her face away from the woman who was almost on top of her. Her eyes slowly closed. She sighed in defeat as she gave up and went to sleep.
Michiru's eyes were locked to her ceiling. She couldn't sleep. No matter how hard she tried she just couldn't keep her mind at ease. She was uneasy. "Where is Setsuna when you need her?" She said out loud. Michiru have been awake for a full three hours now and no matter how much she tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep! She needed Haruka beside her! She needed to feel her breathing beside her she, needed to feel her heartbeat being in the same rhythm as hers. She sighed and threw her bed sheets to the ground and sat up. "I can't take it anymore." She said agitated. She ran her fingers through her wavy long hair and she stood up and looked at her door. She bet everyone at the castle was asleep. "Her room is next to mine." With only a shirt and some underwear on, Michiru opened the door and ran out bare foot over to Haruka's chamber. When she was finally in front of the bedroom she noticed that the door was unlocked.
She gulped and opening it slowly she peeked inside… There she saw the scene from her nightmare. Her heart sank her eyes watered and she felt her soul be snatched away from her. The only thought that came to mind was: "She was right." Haruka laid there on her huge, bed shirtless, her hair a mess and with that woman on top of her. "Why?" Michiru let out a sob and quickly her hand moved to cover her mouth as she cursed. "In the darkness love cannot be seen and she is blind…" She growled as she turned around and ran to her chamber as tears started to stream down her face. She coughed as she choked on her own air. She slammed the door from her chamber behind her and she fell on her butt and cried her heart out. She hit the back of her head against the door various time. "I should've known! I'm just a maid!" She sobbed. "I'm just a maid!"
The smell of the rough sea invaded the whole room. Haruka's eyes flew open and knew that Michiru had entered her chamber. She stood up straight quickly and by the sound of feet running away and the sound of a strong sob Haruka knew what had happen. "Damn it!" She whispered to herself then faced the woman beside her. Akiri's breathing was steady. She was still sleeping…
She stood up, grabbed her blouse and put it over her shoulders as she opened the door and left her chamber and headed to Michiru's. Her door was closed and even though it was Haruka could hear the sobs from the smaller girl. "Oh, Kami" She whispered as she touched the door. "She must think I've…" She shook her head and began to feel the door as she tried to find the doorknob. When she did, she opened the door slowly, walked in and closed the door behind her slowly. "Michiru?" A gasp was heard and a rustle in a small bed. "Michiru, I know what you just saw but please, it is not what you think."
"Go away. Go back to your queen." Michiru whispered as she hid under her covers. "Make her go away please."
"Michiru, Please, you don't understand."
"I don't understand?" Michiru growled as she moved the sheets away from her body and sat down on her bed. "I saw you, Haruka! I saw the paper signed with your name! It said that you took her in as your mate! As your fiancé! As your future wife! Just after you gave me a stupid love speech in the pool, you turn to her and sign those damn papers! You don't even know if she is the real thing and then you just hope in bed with her!"
"Sign? I didn't sign anything! I told you I wanted to be with you!" Haruka said, raising her voice a bit too loud. "I don't know if what I am doing is wrong or not I don't want to marry her but if I don't I might go to jail thanks to the will signed by my parents and hers."
"Is she the one?"
"No!" Haruka growled as she closed her yellow orbs.
"Who is the one?" Michiru asked as she stood now and walked towards the blonde. She moved her wild aqua hair away from her face as she stared at Haruka straight in the face. "Who the hell is it?"
"You…" Haruka answered as she took hold of Michiru's arm hard and pulled her harshly to her body as she crashed Michiru's soft body to her strong one. Haruka's lips devouring her soft ones in a heated kiss. Michiru groaned and moved around as she tried to get away from the queen's grasp but Haruka only tighten her hold not as she not let her go. Michiru's small fist hit Haruka's shoulder as she continued her struggled to set herself free from her hold. Haruka pulled away and growled as she touched her forehead with Michiru's. "I love you, damn it."
"You are hurting me! Let go, Haruka."
"No! I won't!" She let out an animalistic growl as she moved to attack her lips. Her tongue began to lash out at Michiru's lips as she begged her for entrance while she pushed her to the small bed. Michiru's knee touched the edge of the bed and, thanks to Haruka's weight, she fell back with Haruka on top pf her still holding her arms. Michiru jumped when she suddenly felt Haruka's tongue upon hers, rubbing hers in a vicious attack that somehow left her wanting for more. Haruka pulled away and sighed as she cursed herself a thousand times for not being able to see. She buried her face on Michiru's neck as she took her in her scent of the sea; the strong beautiful sea, the sea that she loved so much. "Michiru." She whispered in her ear and that's when she felt a sharp pain on her cheek. Michiru had slapped her hard…
"Go away…"
"No!" Another strong slap came across her cheek. Haruka moved her face to make it look like she was looking down at her. The wind warned her she was about to be struck again but this time she grabbed the attackers hand and gripped it strongly as her jaw moved a bit. Michiru got scared. Was she going to strike her back? No, Haruka wouldn't hurt her. Well she already did hurt her emotionally, why no take in some physical pain? "I love you…" Haruka murmured as she kissed the palm of her hand. "I love you." She gave it a soft lick and began to run her lips over Michiru's arm, palm, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and her neck and finally her lips. "I love you. I don't care what happens, my love, I will not give you up." Michiru chocked on her tears. "I don't want to loose you." Her fingers ran down Michiru's arm as she picked her up slightly as she hugged her. Haruka received a much tighter hug from the smaller woman as she heard her cry on her chest. "I don't want to loose you, Michiru. Please…"
"I can't do anything. You belong to her…"
"No!" She whispered as her hand moved over Michiru's side going under her shirt and over the skin of her soft back. "No, I don't belong to her. I belong to you and you alone, Michiru." Michiru chocked on her tears again as she wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck.
"Please, Haruka, don't make this any harder on both of us." Haruka's lips silenced her for some long, painful minutes. For the first time in her life, Haruka felt like actually wanted a woman. No, she didn't want her. She needed her! She stood up and removed her unbuttoned blouse. Michiru sighed as she looked at the gauzed covered chest of her lover. Haruka took her hand and pulled her closed as she settled her hands on her back. "Haruka?" She received a nod from the taller blonde. Her hands carefully undid the gauze and untied it leaving now a shirtless uncovered Haruka. "Haruka,we shouldn't.
"Shh…" She whispered in her ear. Michiru felt like she was going to die right there. She felt how that simple action sent shivers down her spine as the queen's long fingers trailed Michiru sides. Haruka grabbed her shirt and pulled it over Michiru's head. Michiru blushed deeply. She suddenly felt hot all over. Leaning forward, Haruka kissed her burning cheek as her hands moved to pet Michiru's shoulder as she pushed her back to the bed. She moved closer to the smaller girl as she nuzzled her neck and her hands explored her exposed torso. This earned her a moan and a sigh from the girl underneath her.
Michiru pulled Haruka closer as she pressed her chest against Haruka's small firm one. By doing that she received a moan from the tall blonde. "Haruka…" Once again her lover's burning and tender lips silenced her in a hot sweet kiss that left both of them breathless. She didn't minded, she closed her eyes and petted her cheek with both hands as she licked and nibbled on Haruka's lips. She let out a soft whimper when Haruka pulled away and began to make a hot trail of kisses down her neck chest and stomach. Haruka's hand found the elastic on Michiru's underwear and slowly slid them down Michiru's leg as she kissed her way down to her ankles. The blonde threw away the piece of clothing and moved away from the smaller girl and stood beside the bed. She moved her hands and took of her pants before reuniting with her lover as she climbed on top of Michiru and kissed her nose tenderly.
One hand combed Michiru's aqua haired while one moved to touch the treasure between her legs. Michiru gasped and threw her head back by the sudden touch as it ignited a wave of pleasure that stopped in her stomach. Haruka smiled as she felt Michiru's finger run through her head as she scratched her scalp. A groan escaped Haruka's throat as she felt her body come alive as if electricity invaded her. "Michiru, my goodness…" She groaned again and kissed her now between her breasts. The scent of the sea was some how stronger there.
"Haruka, please…" That's all she needed to hear. Haruka's lips closed around one of her lover's nipples as she gave it a long lick as her fingers rubbed the sensitive nub in between her legs. She slipped one finger inside and received a full hip thrust by Michiru. With a growl, Haruka moved away and carefully picked Michiru up and settled her on her lap. The queen's finger slipped between her legs again as her mouth teased and played with her lover's breasts with one arm locked firmly around her waist as she moved her against her thrusting fingers. "Haruka… don't…" She looked down at Haruka as her fingers scratched the blonde's scalp. She moved the blonde's head away from her chest to kiss her hungrily as she moved her tongue in the same rhythm that Haruka moved her body. Haruka leaned forward and laid Michiru's back on her small bed as she moved on top of her.
"Michiru…" She took in deep breath to try and control her body, closing her eyes. She shuddered. She settled her strong body over Michiru's, touching her long firm leg and spreading it to the side as she settled her self on top of her flower. She growled and gasped. "You are beautiful…" Haruka started to talk but had to let out a moan when she felt the full contact of Michiru's soft skin against hers. "No one will touch you the way I do." She whispered as she rubbed her entire body harshly against Michiru's. "No one will kiss you the way I do." She whispered as she ran her hand through her lover's hair as her lips devoured her neck, kissing, sucking and nibbling. "No one will love you the way I do." She groaned as she started a steady pace. Her body seam to swallow Michiru's. "I love you… You! Not her!" She whispered on Michiru's lip as she moved and rubbed both sensitive nubs against each other.
"I…" Michiru was in some other planet. She got to be in another planet. The queen of the wind was attacking all of her senses, leaving her absolutely breathless. Her moans where starting to get way to loud so she bit down her lower lip to prevent more to escape her throat. "I want no other but you." She groaned, hugging the tall woman tightly. "Haruka, I love you!" She yelled as she threw her head back, crushing her chest even more against Haruka's. Haruka's forehead was glowing. The mark of Uranus was glowing proudly on her wet forehead, making Michiru look up at Haruka's beautiful sweat drenched face a yellow light made her close her eyes a bit but also made her confused when she saw a aqua colored light. It appears to be coming from her own forehead. "Haruka?" Her body trembled, the room spun around her and the only thing that existed and matter in that moment was Haruka. Her body felt like it exploded with pleasure, stealing her breath and heartbeat away. They both felt complete. Finally… Haruka's body fell limp on top of Michiru's. Her breathing was strong hard and labored. She had never felt this tired in her entire life.
She moved away from the smaller girl, not wanting to crush her with her weight but suddenly, she felt cold. "Michiru." She finally spoke. Michiru knew what she wanted and quickly she wrapped her arms around the tall blonde and rested her head on her shoulder, snuggling close to her. "My eyes hurt." Haruka said, closing her eyes and rubbing Michiru's back.
"That's because you need to sleep." Michiru whispered as she yawned and closed her eyes also.
"Hai." She sighed and pulled the smaller girl closer.
"You are not leaving right?"
"No, I can't." Haruka answer with a sleepy voice
Michiru nodded and kissed her shoulder before she fell asleep, using Haruka's heartbeat as her lullaby.
Setsuna's heals echoed through her castle. The guards bowed down to her as she passed them. "Princess!" She blinked and, gripping her staff, she turned around to look at whoever called to her. A small old woman walked over to her obviously out of breath. She rubbed her wrinkly hands together before she looked up at the tall mysterious princess. "My lady! One of my good friends at Uranus just sent me an important message."
Setsuna frowned. This was a kitchen maid, for goodness sake! What could be so important? The old lady looked like she was about to have a heart attack. "They are out of rice?"
"No!" The old lady shook her head. "The queen of Uranus needs you desperately. Something is going on! My friend told me the queen practically begged her not to mess it up."
"If Haruka needed me, why didn't she send a letter her elf? Why did she have to use a kitchen maid to deliver her message?"
"She said something about a lady called Akiru? Akira? … Umm… Darn, I forgot the name."
Setsuna's eyes flew open as she slapped her forehead hard. "Damn it! Haruka, you dumb ass! You are even blinder than I thought!" She said as she patted the old woman on the shoulder and left her castle, running, ready to transport herself over to Planet Uranus.
Haruka let out a soft groaned as she moved on the small bed a bit. She felt a body on top of her and smiled when she knew whom it was. Since Michiru was using one of her arms for a pillow, Haruka had to use her other one to scratch her, all of the sudden, itchy eyes. She groaned and moved slowly away from Michiru with her eyes closed at all times. "Not now." She groaned and sighed as she sat down on the bed and rubbed them with the back of her hands. She stood up and made her way over to the small bathroom in the chamber. She closed the door behind her and moved her hands around, searching for the sink. She finally found it and turned the water on before splashing water on her face and rubbing her eyes now and then. She sighed and raised her face to the mirror. Slowly she opened her itchy eyes and looked in front of her. She felt her body become paralyze. She was looking at her reflection in the small mirror. She was looking. Haruka's mouth opened a bit as she was in shock as she starred at her own green eyes. Green eyes, just like her father's. "Oh, my goodness." She managed to say, turning her face to the side as her eyes looked in the mirror. Was this some kind of cruel dream? No. It was way too real! She looked down at her big hands and moved her fingers around. Her eyes moved down to her naked body and a soft laughed escaped her lips. "Michiru…" She whispered, opening the door to the bathroom and walking out.
A small white skinned aqua haired goddess lay on the small bed, covered in soft white sheets. Her soft-featured beautiful face was resting where Haruka was minutes ago. Some strands of the strange colored haired were touching her face while one of her knees was slightly bended over in Haruka's direction, letting the blonde take a good view of her other long strong leg. Haruka's breathing became labored. "Holy Uranus, she is gorgeous." She walked over to her, moving forward as she moved the sheets away from her body and exposed her stomach and breasts. Her prayers have been answered. She just saw the woman she adored. She just saw the woman she loved with all of strengths. "Michiru." She called to her as her hand moved to push the strands of aqua hair away from her face. "Michiru, wake up, love…"
Michiru groaned and took the pillow and then placed it over her head. "Its way to early."
Haruka trembled as she moved the pillow away from her face. Michiru sighed, moving to lay on her back as she opened one sleepy blue to look up at Haruka. She felt something run down her spine all of the sudden as she opened the other one and stared up at green eyes. Green eyes. "Haruka…"
"Michiru, You…" She stared at her blue eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but quickly shut up. She leaned down and kissed Michiru's lips. "You were the maid that almost ran over me with the plates back at my 21st birthday!"
Michiru let out a laugh, wrapping her arms around Haruka's neck and pulling her hard against her. "You remember!"
"How can I forget those eyes?" Haruka whispered in her ear and then pulled away to look at her face. "How can I forget about those eyes? Blue ones, full of innocence and, if I remember, back then they were also full of fear. You were scared of me?"
Michiru shrugged. "That was the past. Now, I'm not." She sat up, moving her hands to cup Haruka's face in her small hands. "Beautiful green eyes." Haruka chuckled. "You haven't blinked once! Blink!"
"What if I do blink and loose this sight of you?" Haruka whispered, moving forward and claiming Michiru's lips. She stared at the aqua haired girl while they kissed She saw her sigh contently and close her eyes she saw the soft shade of pink that was forming on the top of Michiru's nose. She was finally able to see it all.
Pulling away, Michiru chuckled and covered herself with the sheets. "Well?"
Haruka frowned at that and looked at Michiru with a confused expression. "Well, what?"
"Am I what you expected?"
"You are even better than what I expected." Haruka smiled and ran her fingers through Michiru's hair. "You are a million times better than what I imagined. Wait a minute! I was banging my head against the wall every time we touched, asking myself how you looked like! I've seen you before yet you never told me!"
"You never asked." Michiru giggled as she stood up and gathered their clothing. She turned to look at Haruka, who just kept starring at her. She giggled. "You find this fascinating?"
"I find you fascinating." She chuckled as Michiru threw her shirt at her in a playful manner. "Fine, fine. I'll stop." Haruka chuckled as she started to dress herself.
Akiri smirked as she pulled on her robe and tied it around her waist, chuckling to herself. She sighed and walked out to the balcony as she looked down upon Uranus. "You are all mine." She chuckled once again and ran her hand through her brown curly hair. "Too bad she isn't but I think I can deal with the pain."
The door was open and Sasuke walked in as he looked at Akiri with a strange look. "Where is Haruka?"
"Take a wild guess." She chuckled. "Get yourself some guards. We got a couple to arrest."
Green eyes looked down at her white shirt as she slowly buttoned it up. Michiru smiled as she saw Haruka moved around her small chamber, fixing her hair with her hands. Green eyes traveled to look at blue ones. The tall blonde woman chuckled a bit. "What is it?"
"Nothing."
"Sure." Haruka chuckled and walked over to her, wrapping her arms around her. "What is it?"
Michiru moved away a bit and touched Haruka's forehead. "Haruka, while we were umm…while we were…" Michiru blushed.
"Making love."
"Making love," Michiru smiled at that. "your forehead gave out a weird golden glow."
"A glow? Ah, yes." Haruka moved one hand to rub her forehead a bit. "The sign of Uranus. Wow. I can't even remember the last time that little thing showed off."
"Haruka, I think my forehead glowed also." Michiru whispered, rubbing Haruka's arm.
The tall woman looked down at Michiru. "What color?"
"Blue, aqua blue." She said as she touched her own forehead.
Haruka blinked and pulled Michiru closer, brushing her lips over the soft forehead. "Neptune." She whispered over the skin. Michiru closed her eyes as she felt something tingle on her forehead. Haruka moved away enough too look down at Michiru. Her forehead started to give out a soft blue glow before a sign came forward. "The sign of Neptune." Haruka whispered as she stared at Michiru's forehead before she moved her hand to touch her forehead. "I was right. You are she…" She looked down at Michiru and wrapped her arms around her waist as she picked her up and looked up at her. "Michiru Kaiou of Neptune, my soul mate."
Michiru looked down at Haruka smiling down at her the glowing disappearing. She moved forward and brushed her lips over Haruka's forehead imitating her, she whispered "Uranus" and like in cue the golden glow came forward with the sign of Uranus. "Haruka Teno'u of Uranus, my love."
Haruka smiled and gently settled Michiru on her own two feet again not before passionately kissing her lips.
The door was almost taken down by one of the castles guards, making both Haruka and Michiru jump and move away from each other."What in the hell?! How dare you enter a room in that way?" Haruka growled, pushing Michiru to stand behind her. "Who gave you the orders to come in bashing like that?!" Haruka asked. Her green eyes were burning with rage. Five guards walked in side the small chamber, making it look even smaller than it already was. "I asked you a question! Answer me! I am your queen!"
"I did." Sasuke walked inside the chamber with his arms behind his back. "I gave the orders."
Haruka's eyes turned to Sasuke in disbelief. "Who do you think you are? You can't just give out orders like that! Not when I'm around!"
"You are no longer giving out the orders, Haruka." Sasuke spoke. "Arrest them both."
"What?" Haruka's eyes widen as two guards grabbed her by the arms. "Let go of me! I command you!" The guards ignored her completely while some other two grabbed hold of Michiru. She, on the other hand, didn't resist much she just walked away from them until they capture her. "Let her go! Damn it! Sasuke!" Her eyes went back to the middle aged man. She groaned as she felt one of the guards move behind her, handcuffing her. She let out a growled and moved her head back, hitting the guard right in the bridge of his nose. "Let go of me!" She was about to kick the other guard when she felt a strong pain on her stomach. Sasuke had punched her. She fell on one knee, out of breath, while she heard Michiru's screams. Green eyes looked up at the silver haired man. "You swore loyalty to my family. What are you doing?" She coughed as she felt out of air all of the sudden. Sasuke growled and kicked her right under the chin, making her fall on her back. Accidentally she bit her tongue and seconds later she could taste the metallic flavor of her own blood in her mouth.
"Haruka!" Michiru screamed, struggling now with the two guards holding her. "Let me go, you traitors! Let me go!"
"Silence her." One guard nodded and stroke Michiru right across her cheek.
"You are going to regret that. I'm going to cut your throat, you old bastard." Haruka managed to say.
"Sure you will." Sasuke smirked. "Take them to the dungeon." The fifth guard came forward and helped the ones that were holding Haruka. She looked at Sasuke over and stopped in front of him. Sasuke just smirked at her. "Why, look at that. You got your sight back. Wonderful. You found us the Queen of Neptune. Thank you Haruka."
Haruka snarled and moved her head back as she gathered enough blood in her mouth before spitting on his face. "Call me Teno'u-sama, you asshole…"
He stood there and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood away. Using that same hand, he punched Haruka's right cheek. "Don't curse. Mommy wouldn't like that. Take them away, already!" He growled, watching the guards taking both women to the dungeon. "Little bitch." He whispered, wiping his face again.
Akiri walked inside the room and smiled as she saw Sasuke's bloody face. "She is just like her father. She wouldn't give up without a fight."
"She got her sight back." Sasuke said, looking at Akiri.
"So, that silly maid was the lost princess. How fortunate. We can kill them both at the same time." Akiri chuckled as she patted Sasuke's shoulder. "Good job."
