As some of you have probably guessed, this isn't going to be a happy ending. It's kinda semi-happy...well...just read to find out.

I will say I got the idea for the end of this fic from the end of The House of Flying Daggers. If you know what I'm talking about you'll know what to expect. I also used the song Jia Ren Qui (Beauty Song) for the tragic love song Haruka and Michiru have been singing to each other in this fic...even though it is technically Chinese...just go with it...

I still don't own the rights to Sailor Moon...sigh...

Dozo minna-san!

"Scour the countryside! I want Kairen found and brought in!" Demando ordered as he swept down the hall. He frowned when Safiel came running up to him. "Safiel…what is it?"

"She's gone," he panted.

"Who?" A look of disbelief came over Demando's face. "Haruka-san? But how? She shouldn't be conscious!"

"Gomen Niisan, demo…she's gone. I don't know where to."

Demando sighed. "Let those three know and send out a search party." Safiel nodded and ran off.

Michiru glared at Kairen, a shinobigatana in her hand. The blonde woman also had a shinobigatana in her hand. Both women had cold looks in their eyes. "You killed your own daughter!" Michiru snapped.

"She was weak and easily swayed by the White Moon Clan, as was Demando! I remained loyal to our cause! My traitorous husband thought he could save Haruka from the feud but he was wrong!"

"She had a life! People who cared about her! Who loved her! And you stole that from her!" Michiru screamed. "You stole her from me!"

"Then allow me to send you to her!" Kairen shouted and rushed in. Michiru ran towards Kairen and the two women began fighting, their swords clanging together. Their blades locked and Michiru backhanded Kairen. The older woman staggered back and Michiru leapt up in the air, slamming her foot into Kairen's face. Kairen spat to the side and brought her sword crashing down. Michiru dove to the side and spun around, slashing at Kairen's feet. The older woman leapt up into the air.

Michiru quickly rose to her feet and slashed the blonde across the back, causing her to crash to the ground. "I'll see you dead first," Michiru growled.

"I don't think so," Kairen smirked and threw her hand up. Dirt flew at Michiru and she instinctively flinched away. Kairen swiftly moved in and slammed her sword into Michiru's heart. The geisha gasped. She coughed and blood dribbled down her chin. She choked softly in pain as Kairen viciously wrenched the blade free. She dropped to her knees and fell to her side, her eyes closing halfway as they misted over.

"MICHIRU!" a voice screamed. Kairen looked up and her eyes widened. Two throwing knives suddenly struck her chest with such force that she was thrown back a few feet. Haruka staggered down from the horse and fell to the geisha's side. Tears flowed down her face. "So unfair of you…to go off into your own world and leave me alone…" she whispered. Her head rose as Kairen regained her footing. Haruka grabbed the shinobigatana Michiru had fought with and stumbled to her feet.

"You will die as well musume."

"I'm already dead," Haruka snarled. She tackled her mother to the ground and the two rolled around in the grass, kneeing and elbowing each other. Haruka rammed her head into Kairen's face and grinned as she felt the older woman's nose break. Kairen hurled Haruka off of her and rolled to her feet. She ineffectively wiped the blood from her nose and spat to the side.

Haruka stood and glared at her mother. Her vision blurred and she shook her head to clear it. "You can't defeat me Uranus," Kairen spat. "You're too weak and too pathetic to kill me!"

Haruka fell to her knees, blood loss finally catching up to her. She reached inside her gi jacket as her mother began walking away. She pulled out a throwing knife and brought her arm across her chest to throw it. "Kairen!" she snapped, her eyes closed. The older woman turned and Haruka's hand shot out. The dagger struck the older woman directly in the head and she dropped to the grass.

Haruka smiled and weakly crawled to Michiru. She laid on her back and pulled Michiru's body close to hers so that the geisha's head was resting on her chest. She smiled and kissed the top of Michiru's head. "I'm coming koi," she whispered. Haruka smiled as she stared up at the clear blue sky and weakly began to sing…

A rare beauty in the north…She's the finest lady on earth…A glance from her, the whole city falls…A second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins…There exists no city or nation…That has been more cherished…Than a beauty like this…A rare beauty in the north…She's the finest lady on earth…A glance from her, the whole city falls…A second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins…There exists no city or nation…That has been more cherished…Than a beauty like this…

She finished singing the tragic love song and closed her eyes. "This heart...was...healed...by you...Michi," she whispered. Darkness came to take her and her head lolled to the side. A soft breath rattled out of her throat. A strong wind picked up and knocked down some leaves on the trees.

Hoofs sounded on the grass and Safiel reined his horse to a stop. Demando and Taiki stopped as well. "They should be here!" Taiki exclaimed, looking around the field.

Safiel saw something ahead in the grass and slid off the horse. He ran forward and skidded to a halt. "Over here!" he called. Demando and Taiki ran up and saw the bodies of Haruka and Michiru. The three men bowed their heads.

Hotaru and Setsuna rushed through the halls of the extravagant house. Hotaru had a glaive in her hand and Setsuna had an elegant staff in hers. They burst into the main room where Serenity was and bowed briefly.

"What's going…" Serenity began.

"Sumimasen! Demo…several riders are approaching. The Ayakashi Sisters recognized one of them as the leader of the Black Moon Clan," Setsuna said.

"How did they know how to come here?" Serenity demanded, rising to her feet.

"Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten are leading them," Hotaru answered. The three ran to the front of the gates where Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Minako stood with the Ayakashi Sisters. The five riders reined in and stopped. They got down and they all bowed to Serenity. Demando straightened and stepped forward.

"Serenity-sama of the White Moon Clan I presume," he said, bowing again.

"Dare?" Serenity asked, noting the black moon tattoo on his head.

"Demando, leader of the Black Moon Clan." He calmly watched as the protectors pulled out weapons. "I wish for this feud to end Serenity-sama. Enough lives have been lost," he said.

Serenity could see the honesty in his eyes. "So you have come here for peace."

"And for forgiveness," he said.

"Forgiveness?" Minako asked.

Safiel brought a sixth horse up with two bodies on its back; one wrapped in soft dark blue cloth and the other in a sea green cloth. He looked down. "We couldn't save them. Gomen na sai." He pulled the bodies off and carefully set them down.

"Haruka-san? Michiru-san?" Minako whispered. Tears welled up in their eyes but they kept them from falling.

"Haruka-san made me realize the true futility of this feud. Sadly, a member of my clan did not share my sentiments to stop the fighting and killed her and Michiru."

Serenity looked at Seiya and his companions who nodded. "It's true Serenity-sama. Demando-san wanted peace but Kairen refused it. She wounded Haruka-san and ran off. Michiru-san went after her and was killed. Haruka-san had gone after them and managed to kill Kairen before she died."

Setsuna smiled sadly. "That does sound like Haruka-san. Loyal to the clan until the end," she said.

"Clans," Seiya corrected.

"Nani?" the others save for Serenity asked.

"Haruka-san was born of the Black Moon Clan," Serenity said softly. "She came here alone, saying that her father wanted her to live in peace and knew that the White Moon Clan would make that happen. I did my best to keep her from fighting, but she wanted to do nothing more than to bring about peace and decided that only fighting could achieve that."

"So she became a member of the White Moon Clan," Ami figured.

Serenity nodded and looked at Demando. "Let us have peace between our clans." Demando nodded and bowed deeply, knowing that peace would at last come for the two Moon Clans.

END

A semi-happy-ish ending what with peace being made between the two clans. I hope you all enjoyed this fic. I have another one in the works about an AU of the Super season, or the S season (they say Super for the S season and SuperS for the SS season). It'll be titled Destiny so keep an eye out for it. Until the next fic, drop a review!

And did anyone catch the line from the Super season Haruka says to Michiru?
