Chapter Two
Haruka's P.O.V.
Her wonderful red hair pouring down her pale back as she fought the youma with grace and expertise was a sight I just couldn't manage to get out of my head. The way she swiftly drew the sai into the youma was excellently achieved. She made it look so easy destroying it the way she did. The way those blue eyes of hers turned toward me cautiously before she came to my aid. Those blue eyes gave me an instant connection to her. Her silver fuku hugged every one of her smooth curves. My mouth was just watering at the image in my head. I dismissed the thought quickly like it wasn't even there.
I looked out the window and thought about Michiru. It's been a week since that attack. I can't help but wonder who that mystery maiden was. I need to go see Michiru and see if she remembers anything. I highly doubt it but I think it's worth asking. I remember the way the youma pushed her out of the window before she could even attack. I hated thinking that I was so useless in that fight. If it weren't for that sailor senshi, we would be ten feet underground. I know that Michiru is healing quickly, but I can't help but feel like it's all my fault. It has always been my job to protect her.
"Haruka?" A soft voice asked. I didn't even notice that I walked to the hospital and was now sitting in a chair.
I pulled myself out of my thoughts and looked up to see a concerned Usagi. She has been coming here every day.
"What are you doing here, Koneko?" I questioned. She looked at me with startled eyes, like I had just asked her why the sky was blue. The Moon Princess looked down and blushed.
"Are you saying I can't be here because I'm a concerned friend who wants to help my good friend feel better?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. When I didn't answer she said, "Fine. It's because the Moon Princess is here to be with her brave and stubborn warrior."I looked at her with wide eyes and wondered what brought that out of her.
Usagi turned her attention back to the sleeping sea goddess. She grabbed her hand and gave it a slight squeeze. I knew Usagi always wanted to be there for all the other sailor senshi, especially the Inners, but she never gave us this much attention. She looked at Michiru almost as if she was willing for her to wake up. I saw a small tear glide down her smooth pale skin and immediately felt guilty.
"I'm sorry," she said. My head shot up at her apology. "I'm sorry I couldn't be there to save her from this pain. If that other Sailor Senshi hadn't saved you, I don't know what I would have done. I know it is your job to protect me and the Inners, but my job is to protect all of you."The tears then started to pool down her face like a waterfall. I never knew she cared for us so deeply. I thought that it was only the Senshi who had something to protect.
As much as I wanted someone else to take the blame, I didn't want that person to be Usagi. "It's not your fault. You couldn't have known. Plus if you did show up to save us, I'm not completely positive you would have been able to defeat it. It was too strong for us, Koneko," I said. I tightly shut my eyes and remembered how it threw me across the building like I was a rag doll.
I looked up at Usagi and saw her staring at me intently. Those bright blue eyes full of worry and sympathy. I sighed in defeat knowing I was scaring her and that she was dying to explode with questions.
"I'm fine Koneko. I'm afraid that the youma are just getting stronger by the minute and I won't be able to protect you. I almost lost Michiru, I don't know what I would do if we lost you," I said. Realization suddenly dawned on the blonde.
"We will get through this. We always do," she said with a bright smile. I almost believe her.
Seleine's P.O.V.
Looking in the hospital room, I realized that they thought everything was hopeless. If I tell them who I am and what I can do they will never trust me. Usagi might trust me, but the others never will. I need to find out what the queen is planning. She is strong but if only Usagi and I could work together things would be so much easier. I suddenly remembered why I was exiled from the Moon Kingdom and was claimed for the darkness.
"No. That can not happen again," I said aloud. "Oh Haruka, I'm so sorry." I got up from the tree and jumped. The inner battle within my heart and head was becoming too much. I suddenly felt a fellow dark presence enter the building. I instantly knew that battle was to begin yet again.
Haruka's P.O.V.
I looked out the window and saw a familiar red head walking away. I stared paralyzed for a moment then I gasped as it hit me. I bolted for the door and as soon as I got there, the door was pushed off its hinges directly on me. It pushed me to the other side of the room. I hit the wall hard and collapsed on the floor, the door toppling over on me.
I was stunned for a moment when I heard a familiar, "Moon Eternal Make-up!" I slowly got up and transformed. I looked around the room to see where they were and found Sailor Moon in front of Michiru's bed as if protecting her.
The youma was standing before her with drool dripping down its unhinged jaw. The scales around it were a dark green with spots of yellow. It had sharp pointed claws and horns protruding out of its skull. Its eyes were a pale yellow and they were sending daggers at Sailor Moon.
"How dare you come here and threaten my friends? I'm Sailor Moon and I shall punish you!"
It stood there, staring at her a minute, then lifted its hand and its claws sprang out at her. It tacked her to the wall where she could not break free. It slinked toward her with hunger in its eyes. She tried tearing herself free, but the claws would not budge.
"Uranus World Shaking!"
The planetesimal ball of golden light struck the youma and barely left a scratch. The youma slowly turned to face me. The drool still dripping from its mouth stalked toward me. I took out my space sword and prepared for battle.
"I'm Sailor Uranus guardian deity of planet Uranus. I shall be your opponent!" I challenged. I looked at my princess and saw her eyes grow two sizes bigger. She tried harder to yank herself free but just couldn't manage it. I saw out of the corner of my eye the youma coming closer.
It attacked, but I was ready, my sword clashing with claws doing the familiar dance. It lunged at me, and I jumped to a nearby chair. It kicked the legs out from under me as I jumped to the edge of Michiru's bed. I saw Michiru's eyes fly open as my boots clattered on the wooden edge of her bed. She looked up and locked her gaze with mine for a split second before she transformed.
She ran from the bed to Sailor Moon and pulled the claws out of her clothing. I jumped away from the youma to stand with my fellow sailors. I was panting and could barely catch my breath. The youma smiled and raised both of its hands towards the ceiling. Black holes appeared on its hands and suddenly the air started getting thinner. Neptune then started coughing and making choking sounds, water started to spill out of her mouth. Soon Sailor Moon and I started choking.
I collapsed to the floor and was holding my stomach as if I could squeeze the rest of the water out of my lungs. Then the thoughts of my death started to erupt. I started thinking about everything that I did as a sailor senshi and realized, I was terrified of dying.
Suddenly a bright white light flashed through my vision. I could breathe again! The youma was on the floor and the new sailor senshi was standing before me. She's here, she came for us. The youma was trying to get up, but the glowing sai wouldn't allow it.
"Uranus can you hear me?" The senshi screamed.
I then understood what she was asking me and nodded my head. She sighed with relief when she turned to stare down the youma. She merely lifted her hand and the sai came to her, she caught the sai and took the protective stance before me.
Seleine's P.O.V.
I slowly got up and stared the youma down. I knew this was going to be a more difficult fight, and I would need energy after, but I knew I was the only one who could possibly win. The youma lifted it's hand to the ceiling and the black orbs sprang into action. Neptune, Sailor Moon, and Uranus sank to the ground as the oxygen was sucked from their lungs.
I stood up straighter knowing that if I didn't act fast, it would soon affect me too. I drew my sais in the familiar motion I was taught long ago. The youma snarled at me and struck. I bounced back out of its reach when another one came to sight. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she was trying to kill me.
The second youma lunged for my throat when I dodged to the left. I knew I was hit, the singing burn in my arm made me aware of just how lethal the venom was. I looked for the other youma and saw it standing over the sailor senshi, reaching for Sailor Moon. I threw my sai and watched as it connected with the youmas scaly back. The other youma cried for its mate in mourning.
The youma tacked me to the wall and pushed its claws deep into my pale skin. I screamed out in pain at the venom now circulating through my veins. The youma snickered at the pain it was putting me through, that really made me pissed. I pushed my back against the wall behind me and shoved my legs out towards the youma. My feet connected with the youmas midsection and fell backward on the desk. I jumped out and plunged my sai deep into its leg holding it in place. I jumped on top of the table and sawed my sai through the youmas throat, decapitating it.
I sighed in relief knowing it was over and remembered the other senshi. I looked up to see them struggling to get up. They were all staring at me. I bolted toward Sailor Moon as soon as I heard her gasp as she collapsed to the floor. She had a firm hold on her arm and when I reached to help her I was pushed back by Uranus. Her eyes bore into mine, I realized how much hatred she was sending off. I smiled in satisfaction knowing that she was jealous.
I pushed her away from me and to the wall, I dove toward Sailor Moon. I saw Neptune trying to get up, but knew she wouldn't get far. I got closer to Sailor Moon and saw the deep gash in her arm. She slid down the wall farther and started spasming out. The venom was already flowing through her veins.
"What did you do to her?" Uranus yelled. She was now charging at me.
"Stop! The venom is in her blood system. If I don't get the venom out now she will die!" Uranus stared at me with wide eyes, afraid of what I'd say next. She nodded her head and let me get to Sailor Moon.
I pounced on her arm and tried to suck the venom out. The venom was too deep in her veins. I couldn't get it all out. I thought about my options and knew what I had to do. I put my hand over her wound and a bright yellow light sprung out of my fingertips. She started screaming loud, but she was no longer having a seizure. I started to gasp as I felt cold fingers wrap deep into my arms. The tearing of my skin was excruciating, I almost let go.
When Sailor Moon stopped screaming I knew she was healed. I reluctantly pulled away and let the other sailors take care of her. I staggered to the wall and wretched. My head was spinning, and I knew I was dying. Uranus whipped around and saw me struggling to get away. She ran towards me and gripped my arms, tight. I cried at the pain she was causing me.
Uranus pulled her hand away and saw the blood-streaked with a green colored venom. Realization suddenly dawned on her at what I had done. She looked at me with incredulous eyes and took her other arm away. She pulled at my sleeves and saw the deep gashes on my arms.
"You took her wounds, why?" She asked me.
I tightened my jaw knowing that this was not the time. It wasn't good for her to know so soon. The pain in my arms was becoming unbearable. I latched my hand to her face and pressed my lips against hers. I kissed her passionately and felt her tongue creep into my mouth. I felt the wounds in my arms slowly start to heal. I tried to pull away from Uranus, but she pulled me back against her. I started to push my hands through her hair when a vision flashed through my eyes. I pulled away and bolted to the top of a nearby building. I hesitated and turned to look back down at Uranus and saw her staring up at me. I knew if I stayed any longer, I would run back down there and tell them everything. I quickly turned and ran across the buildings.
Haruka's P.O.V.
"Uranus! She's waking up! She's shaking we need to get her to Mamoru or Ami now!" Neptune yelled.
I couldn't move, I was held in place. I had a vision and had no idea where it came from. I was holding a princess in my arms, one that wasn't Neptune. She looked a lot like my Princess, but she had a fire in her eyes that couldn't be extinguished. I touched my lips and remembered how fiercely she kissed me.
Neptune shouted again and was carrying a sleeping Usagi. I bolted to her aid and picked up the princess from her arms. As soon as I picked her up, I felt dizzy like I was about to faint. I shook my head and let my transformation go and ran to my car.
"Haruka? What happened back there?" Michiru asked me.
I looked down at the ground and tried to think of something to say that wouldn't make her jealous. I decided to tell the truth. "I have no idea."
"She healed Usagi completely, how?"
I didn't know how to answer her questions. I knew I should tell her what happened when she was taking care of Usagi but I didn't see the point. Her healing Usagi or the kiss I couldn't explain to her. I wonder if we'll ever see her again. We got to the car. I laid Usagi down in the backseat of the car with Michiru and sped off towards Mamoru's.
Seleine's P.O.V.
The music blared throughout the club and the lights were just barely noticeable. The energy pulsing through the dance floor was almost enough to suppress my hunger, almost. The smell of sweaty bodies pressing against each other was almost too much. I didn't want to do this after kissing Haruka. It was terrible that she could still make me aroused. I thought about the kiss and became aroused once again.
I finished my drink and glided to the dance floor. I made swift graceful movements to call out my prey. He came toward me as if he was in a trance. He was rather attractive, he was built nicely but not too muscular. He had blonde hair and beautiful emerald eyes. He had a pair of dark blue Armani jeans and a pale blue button up.
He came to me and put his hands on my hips. He knew what he wanted from me, and he would make sure he got it. He swayed our bodies and brought me close to him. I pressed my body against his and felt his heartbeat quicken. He started to lead me back to the bar, but I pulled him back. I couldn't even think about talking with someone, or I wouldn't be able to do what I had to. He flashed me a toothy grin and pulled me off the dance floor.
When we got inside his apartment he pushed me against a wall and kissed me, hard. He moved his lips down to my neck drawing a soft moan from my mouth. I wrapped my legs around his waist and let his hands travel down my body. He pushed me down onto the couch and pulled my top off. He snaked his hands to my breasts and started sucking on my nipples. I kicked my foot out and broke his glass coffee table. He pulled my jeans off and let his tongue take me away. I felt the gashes in my arms start to heal but it wasn't healing fast enough. I pushed him back and pulled him to the nearby bedroom. I tore his jeans off of him and pushed myself onto him.
He gripped my waist and pulled me closer to him. I could tell he didn't like having the control taken from him, but when he tried to take that lead and push me underneath him, I gripped his hands and pulled them above his head. He growled at my actions but didn't do anything to stop it.
He got tired of it rather quickly and got on top of me. He pushed himself deep into me and pushed harder and faster. I screamed in pleasure and dragged my fingernails deep into his back. It just makes him push that much harder.
When he got tired and fell over, I checked to see if his heart was still beating well. When I heard his pulse, I looked at my arms and saw they were completely healed and had no trace of venom. Satisfied, I pulled my clothes back on and walked out the front door. He was going to be out for quite awhile. I drained him dry of energy, but not enough to kill him, just enough to make him sleep for a few days.
