Chapter 1: Meeting by Chance Again
It has been one month since my mother forced me to move to Kyoto with her. One month since I have seen Haruka. I wonder how she is doing. Does she miss me the way I miss her? I walked around the streets of Kyoto in silence. I have not made any new friends during this month. No one can take the place of Haruka. I walked up to a near by shore line. The sea was restless. I wonder why that is. There wasn't a new threat, was there? Or was the sea reflecting my emotions. I stood there, staring out into the sea, never realizing what was sneaking up behind me.
"Michiru." I heard a voice from behind me. It was a familiar voice. I deep, husky one. I spun around to come face to face with Haruka.
"Haruka!" I cried as I jumped into her arms. I thought I would never see her again. This chance meeting made me happier then the day we met. I clung to Haruka for dear life, like if I let go, she would disappear again. She gently hugged me back. "I missed you so much, Haruka."
"I missed you too. This month has been hell without you." She said back. Tears were flowing from my eyes as I backed away. "Now don't cry."
"I can't help it, I'm so happy." I said with a bit of a smile. She chuckled a bit at me. She turned away.
"So, do you want to come with me, little kitten?" She asked with a sly voice. I couldn't help but smirk.
"I don't know, I was told never to go with strangers." I paused, "But for you, anything." She turned and walked away.
"Then follow me." I followed her all the way to her yellow convertible. In an all too familiar motion, I entered the passenger side. Haruka got in and started the car up. With in seconds we were cruising.
"So where exactly are we going?" I asked her.
"To my hotel room." She told me. We drove for about fifteen minutes before arriving at her hotel. I hopped out of the car and followed her up to her room.
Once in the room, Haruka led me over to the couch. I sat down on it while she entered the mini kitchen.
"Would you like some coffee?" She asked me.
"Yeah, that'd be nice." I replied. She poured the beans and water into the coffee maker.
"It will be ready in a while." She told me. I nodded.
"So, what are you doing in Kyoto?" I asked her the question I've been dying to know since we met again.
"I had to come to get you. I couldn't live without you, Michiru." She told me. That was sweet.
"I'm glad you did, but what about when you have to go back, and then we'll have to part again." I pointed out. As much as this pained me, it was the truth. Haruka shook her head. What was she thinking?
"Michiru, I didn't just come here to see you again, I came here to bring you back to Tokyo with me." She said. I was shocked at this. Did she really care for me this much? I thought we were just friends. Sure we acted a bit closer then most friends, but Haruka flirted too much with other girls. There was no way she'd feel this close to me. This must have just been for the sake of our mission as Uranus and Neptune, it had to be.
"You want me to go back with you?" I finally asked. She nodded. "But, Haruka, your apartment is nice and all, but it's not big enough for the both of us." Haruka just smirked and held up an envelope.
"Read this. It's a letter from Setsuna." She told me as I took the envelope. Sure enough, it was addressed to us from Setsuna.
"But I thought Setsuna was dead." I said as I took the letter out.
"So did I, but you can never count the guardian of time out it seems." Haruka said, "Now read the letter." I nodded and began to read.
'Dear Haruka and Michiru,
If you are reading this, I have died in battle. But never fear I won't be gone forever. The outer senshi are a team, perhaps ever more powerful then the inner senshi. Therefore we must remain together as much as possible. I have taken into consideration getting a home for all of us to live in together. Being the senshi of time and space, I was able to get us a huge house on the outskirts of Tokyo. The best part is, the house is already paid for. We won't have to pay a thing. Space will not be a problem either, the house is big enough to fit us and the inners all in separate rooms. Well hope you enjoy your new home. I should be back sometime in the near future, hopefully.
Sincerely,
Setsuna a.k.a. Sailor Pluto'
I gasped when I finished reading the letter. Could I really live with Haruka in a big house? That would be a dream come true for me. If only she felt the same way I did about her.
"Pretty sweat, isn't it?" Haruka commented seeing my reaction. "I stopped by the house before coming here. She was kidding. That place is enormous. It's like a palace." I felt like a princess in a fairy tale right now. There was only one problem.
"Will my mom let me though?" I asked. My mom could be real stubborn sometimes, not to mention she over reacts to everything. Haruka sighed.
"Ask her when you get home." She tells me.
"But what if she says no?"
"Then leave anyways. You're almost 17 now, Michiru. You're old enough to make your own decisions." She was right, but what if my mom panicked. I didn't want to police searching for me. Haruka gets up and walks over to the coffee maker. She pours two cups and gives me one.
"Thank you." I said. I put a bit of cream in and took a sip. It helped calm me a bit. I watched Haruka take a sip without putting anything in it. "You like it black?"
"I just find this more convenient then putting anything in it." She replies. I envy her for not having to worry about so much. Once we finished our coffees, Haruka stood up.
"I'll take you home so you can ask your mom." She walks over to a desk and scribbles something on paper. "Here's my number so you can reach me afterwards." She handed me the paper.
"Thank you." I said. With that we left the hotel and headed to my apartment. We didn't say anything on the way.
A while later, I finally entered my apartment. Mom was sitting on the couch watching TV. She didn't notice me walk in. I walked up beside her.
"Mom." I said. She looked up at me.
"Michiru, you're finally home." I took a deep breath. This wouldn't be easy.
"Mom, I ran into an old friend today. She wants me to move back to Tokyo with her." I said. Mom raised her eyebrow.
"Move back to Tokyo with her? But you're not 18 yet. Besides, how will you pay rent?" She tells me. I looked around nervously. I couldn't tell her about Setsuna's letter. I eyed my violin.
"I've become quite good at playing the violin." I told her, "My manager says I'm ready to give concerts and make records. Plus make art is bringing in a bit of money." My mom looks thoughtful.
"Alright Michiru, if you think you can make it on your own. Just don't expect to crawl back here if you fail." She tells me. I smile.
"Does that mean I can go?"
"Yes." I jumped and squealed.
"Thank you mom!" I ran over to the phone and dialed the number Haruka had given me earlier.
"Hello." She answered.
"Haruka, my mom said yes!" I squealed.
"That's wonderful." She paused, "So when do you want to leave?"
"Tomorrow." I told her.
"Tomorrow? But don't you want more time to say bye to your mom?" She asked.
"She didn't give me time to say bye to you. Tomorrow is good." I said.
"OK, if you insist."
"Bye!"
"Bye!" With that I hung up. I was in such a good mood, nothing good ruin it. Nothing.
