Blind
Setsuna stopped all of the sudden. She stretched her arm to the side as she stopped Michiru. Her confused eyes looked around the place as she heard a weird sound coming from the sky. "Do you hear that?" Setsuna asked, turning to face Michiru.
Michiru took a deep breath and moved away. "Sounds like a storm. I don't like storms." Michiru whispered as she shuddered a bit.
Setsuna smiled and placed one hand on the smaller girl's shoulder. "It's okay. Nothing bad is going to happen. It was about time Uranus had some rain coming down."
Michiru nodded. "Hai."
"The sea always gets uneasy during storms; it's just the natural thing."
Setsuna frowned deeply as she turned around. Her eyes turned into a darker shade of crimson before she spoke. "You…" Setsuna grabbed hold of her staff with both hands and stood in front of Michiru in a protecting manner. If something happened to her, Haruka might never forgive her or even worst. The tall tanned woman felt a wet drop on her nose and looked up as the sky darkened. That wasn't a normal thunderstorm. This storm looked familiar.
"Hello, Princess. How are you?" Kamiya looked up at the sky and smiled as she felt the drops of rain that were starting to come down. It started off by a few drops until, in less than a minute, the storm started to pour down hard.
"Where is Haruka?" Michiru asked, moving to Setsuna's side.
"Get back! This woman is dangerous! She is the one who killed your parents and destroyed your planet!"
"Haruka? Maybe Sasuke found her and taught her a lesson. Masters always beat the students."
"Yeah, but, too bad he was way too old. His reflexes were a little slow." Haruka walked outside, sword in hand and with her white shirt covered in blood. Not only was she in pain from the recent beating, but also, she was tired. Dead tired. Her body and mind were asking her to just lay on a bed and sleep the day away but she couldn't. She just couldn't do that when she knew that that woman was alive. Her eyes rose to look at the tall woman. "You…"
"Papa"
"Ruka-chan! What are you doing here? Where is your mother?" The king asked giving her daughter a surprised glare
"Eating…" Green eyes look up at a tall woman with brown curly hair and blue eyes. Her eyes grew huge as she stared at her, watching the woman look at her and give her a devilish smile. Haruka ran to her father's side and hid behind her leg as she stared up at the tall woman trying to hide from her glare.
"She looks like you. If I can't have you, I will have her" She said as she looked at the king of Uranus."
His yellow eyes. His face and clothes covered in blood. His space sword was resting on his stomach. Her mother was fighting with him about who was the one to give her the space sword. Haruka's eyes looked from her mother to her father as she watched him cough as his eyes searched for her mother's face.
Haruka saw her mother hug her close and kiss her cheek, trying to hide the view of her dying father. But Haruka let out a soft groan and slightly pushed her as she leaned her father and placed her hand on his chest.
"Bye, papa"
The king smiled. "Bye bye Haruka."
"Kamiya…" Haruka felt that her shirt was sticking to her body like it was a second skin. The rain was pouring down on them. Small puddles were starting too appeared on the ground. The blood on her face was washed away by the rain and suddenly her cuts and bruises were starting to reveal themselves.
"Hello, Haruka." She chuckled as she raised her hand forward. From the puddles of water under her, a staff appeared and moved to her hand. Kamiya gripped it as she smiled at Haruka. "Nice eyes." Haruka growled. "You weren't that angry the day I arrived in Uranus, weren't you?"
"Shut up! I had enough of your crap! This ends now! You killed Michiru's parents, you destroyed her planet, killed my father and place a curse on me, you ordered the death of my mother and you impersonated someone you are not! I guess there are reasons enough to kill you my self!"
"We'll see…"
Haruka growled and walked slowly, yet steady. Her eyes were locked with the tall woman as the grip on her sword tightened. "You two get the hell away from this place." Haruka spoke to Setsuna and Michiru.
"The story it's repeating itself, don't you think?" Kamiya chuckled as she grabbed her staff with both hands and looked at Haruka over. "After that, you will try to kill me but you will die with both the queen of Neptune and the princess of Pluto. Perfect." She smirked as a strike of lighting filled the air.
Haruka ran her hand through her wet hair, moving it away from her eyes as she grabbed hold of her sword with both hands. "Stay back, you two."
Setsuna nodded and looked at Michiru, whose eyes were glued to the blonde woman. She growled and grabbed her hand, pulling her away from both women. "Come on, Michiru!"
"Before this fight is over, your planet will be an exact replica of Neptune, you do know that"
"Shut up!" Haruka snapped as she ran over to Kamiya with her sword high in the air. She growled loudly and swung her sword at the tall woman. She was amazed that she blocked it with her own staff.
"Suprised? I'm older than you; I should know how to stand my ground in a fight, neh?" Kamiya chuckled as she pushed Haruka back.
The blonde cursed under her breath as she jumped away from Kamiya, landing on one knee. She stood up, grabbed her sword with both hands and closed her eyes. She took in a deep breath and tried to relax. "Space sword! Blaster!" Lighting came from the sky and stopped Haruka's attack, making the blonde fall back before lighting hit her. She gasped as she stared at the tall woman. Kamiya could counter attack but, how? She growled and stood up once again. "Come on."
"All right. You asked for it." Kamiya raised her staff to the sky and, whispering some words, two strikes of lighting came down at Haruka. The blonde threw herself to the side as she tried to dodge the attack yet she wasn't fast enough, some how left arm got burned. It sting beyond reason enough to make tears come out of her eyes in pain. "Should I do it again?"
Haruka closed her eyes and felt how her shirt began to bother since it was sticking itself to the burnt skin. Hissing, she tore off the sleeve and sighed when she took a look at it. "Damn." She groaned and stood up, raising her sword with her healthy arm. "Come on." She whispered, not at Kamiya, this time her words came to the wind. The stormy wind turned itself into a hurricane gust. Haruka stood her ground; her eyes were locked with the woman's in front of her. Her hair now covered her face as the wind around her recognized its owner in a playful yet angry manner. The blonde raised her weapon into the sky. Her sky… The sky she ruled as the queen of Uranus "Space sword!!! Blaster!" A strong force of energy came out of it into Kamiya's direction. The tall woman was about to just move away from it but found herself trap in a whirlwind. Her blue eyes looked at Haruka's green eyes as she cursed. The energy attack thrown by Haruka was way to fast for her to dodge therefore she closed her eyes tightly as she let the attack hit her at full force.
Haruka smiled as she fell on her knees. Her left arm felt dead. She sighed as the wind turned into a soft breeze. It seemed like it was caressing its master's wound.
"Haruka!"
"The angels have spoken." Haruka smiled as she heard Michiru's voice. Michiru kneeled in front of Haruka her hands scared to touch the blonde's wound. "It's okay." Haruka closed her eyes as she felt Michiru hug her neck. "I'm okay."
"The storm isn't over." Setsuna said her eyes as she stared at the sky. "Why?"
"Because, I'm not dead, yet."
Haruka's eyes flew open as she saw Kamiya, standing in front of her. "No!" Michiru let out a pained gasped as a she felt something pierce into her back. Her arms tighten around Haruka's neck. "No! No!" Haruka looked up at Kamiya and her heart stopped. She had stabbed Michiru with her staff. "No! Michiru, no!" Her injured arm moved as she grasped the staff and pulled it out as fast as she could. Her green eyes started to get filled with tears as she pulled the smaller girl closer to her body. "Michiru!"
"Michiru!" Setsuna cursed as she ran over to Haruka's side and kneeled beside Michiru. "Oh Kami, no!" She groaned as she picked the smaller girl in her arms and walked away from the shocked Uranian queen.
Haruka felt like she had lost her mind. She grabbed her sword and turned to look at Kamiya with disbelief in her eyes. "You bitch…" She growled as she swung her sword rapidly, making a deep cut on Kamiya's arm and making her drop the staff. "I will kill you." Haruka grabbed her by the collar as she pulled her close. "How could you? Stabbing someone in the back, that was low." She growled as she thrust her sword into her stomach. A smirked appeared on her lips as she saw Kamiya gasp in pain.
"Your father tried that before and it didn't work." She chuckled. Haruka's eyes went wide. Kamiya smiled as she moved forward and gave Haruka a quick peck on the lips.
The blonde cursed and let go of has she slide the sword out of Kamiya. She couldn't believe it. She had just thrust her sword into her stomach and nothing had happen. "Damn you, die already!" The water underneath the blonde started to move the raindrops around her stopped in mid air. Haruka frowned. "What the hell?" She blinked. The water was being controlled. She quickly turned to look at Setsuna, who held a pale Michiru in her arms. The smaller girl's right arm was extended forward and she appeared to be chanting some words. Haruka stood there, watching the aqua haired girl smile at her then give her a wink. That's when she heard someone scream behind her. She turned around and saw how the small puddles on the ground had turned into a huge pool thanks to one of the holes formed by a lightning strike, underneath Kamiya's feet, swallowing her completely. The woman couldn't swim. She stared as how, little by little, Kamiya struggled inside that natural pool. A light illuminated the sky as another lighting came straight down to where Kamiya was. A scream was heard, then the sound of splashing water and finally there was silence.
Haruka had closed her eyes as she heard all this. Finally, when she heard nothing but a soft rumble coming from the sky, she opened her eyes. There laid the body of that woman. She looked up quickly at the sky and found that the sky was clearing up. The wind turned into a soft breeze. She turned around and ran to Setsuna, moving her good arm to touch Michiru's cheek.
"Let's take her to the pool now." Setsuna spoke.
Haruka placed the space sword on her waist and took Michiru in her arms, groaning as she felt her left arm sting even more. Michiru was pale and unconscious.
"Hai!"
Setsuna kicked the door to the poolroom open. She ran inside the huge place while Haruka ran behind her, holding Michiru close to her. "Jump in the pool, now! Believe it or not the water in this pool is from the oceans of Neptune! Your father wanted it that way! Jump now and let the waters heal her!"
Haruka was way to hyper to answer her. She just jumped into the pool with Michiru in her arms. The sting on her left arm became unbearable and she let out a small yell and so did Michiru as she felt the water enter her wound.
"She can't die, if she dies, you do also." Setsuna spoke as she looked down at the couple in front of her. "It is written! It's like the law of nature! The sky and the sea can't live without each other! The sea is nothing without the sky; if there was no sky what would the sea reflect? And if there was no sea, who would the sky woo?"
Haruka looked down at Michiru. Her tears were flowing down like small streams. "The sky and the sea can never meet" Haruka sob as she pulled the smaller girl closer to her, kissing her forehead. "Please, Michiru, wake up."
"They might never meet but they sure can touch each other thanks to the wind" Setsuna whispered.
A soft and small groaned echoed through the poolroom. Haruka's green eyes looked down at the girl in her arms and felt like dancing right there. Blue eyes looked up at green teary ones. A soft smile lay on Michiru's lips. "Hey." Haruka's hand moved to where the wound was supposed to be and found nothing.
"Holy Uranus." Haruka whispered as she looked down at Michiru.
"Holy Neptune." Michiru giggled as she teased the taller blonde as she moved to stand on her own two feet in the pool. "Is she…" Michiru couldn't finish her sentence. She was silenced by a pair of soft lips. She also felt how two strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Michiru giggled and wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck as she kissed her back. She had to pull away and laughed when she heard a grunt from the time guardian. "I will take that as a "yes"" She chuckled as her hands moved to pet Haruka's cheeks.
"Don't you ever do that again!" Haruka said, looking down at her and trying to keep her face serious. But she was way too happy to keep it up so she smiled. "You scared me beyond reasons. I thought you were going to die!"
"But I didn't. I'm here." Michiru whispered, petting Haruka's strong forearm. Her eyes went to Haruka's left arm. She blinked and let out a sad sigh as she saw the burnt mark.
"It's nothing. It doesn't hurt anymore." The blonde smiled and ran her wet hand through Michiru's hair.
"I think we better fix that arm and start making the preparation for the union of the sky and the sea.."
Both Haruka and Michiru smiled. "Hai."
