Haruka and Rei led Setsuna into the women's bathroom to offer a little privacy while they cleaned her up.
"What happened?" Haruka asked softer then she had in the hall.
"Not now," Rei snapped going to the nearest sink and turning on the hot water taking a washcloth out of the forgotten bag on her hip. Haruka moved Setsuna over to the counter and helped her to sit on top, the only other option being the floor. After wetting the cloth Rei started to clean Setsuna's face wiping the blood from beneath her eyes first, at the touch of the warm cloth Setsuna started to calm down feeling safer.
"Setsuna… please tell me what happened." Haruka pleaded softly not wanting to upset her friend more.
"What did I say?!" Rei said irritably wringing the blood out of the washcloth under the hot water before resuming her work on Setsuna's face.
"No… it's ok I need to do this." Setsuna whispered her voice breaking before she took a calming breath beginning her story.
"Here." Eric said handing the woman the blood-covered object as she stared down a Michiru. She lay there broken and bleeding the car having nearly killed her, the only way to be sure it was her was by the color of her hair.
"I've waited a long time for this a shame she's not awake, we can fix that can't we Eric?" The woman mused turning off the anesthetic and removing the mask from Michiru's face before the nurse returned with the blood bag.
"Doctor I have th-" she stopped speaking seeing two strangers in the operating room the doctor nowhere to be seen. Before she could scream Eric had his hand clamped over her mouth and the other taking the blood bag from her. With a look over to the woman and a nod of her head the nurse's neck was snapped and she fell limply to the ground.
"Now hopefully there will be no more interruptions while we wait for our little pal here to wake up." The blonde almost silvered hair woman said removing the I.V needle from Michiru's hand cutting off her morphine.
"That should speed things up don't you think?" She quipped laughing at her own twisted humor.
Ami had taken Setsuna's right after the three girls left and hadn't said a word in the last hour.
"Ami." Mamoru said shaking her shoulder softly
"What?" She asked no louder then a whisper her voice cracking from lack of use, the fact she'd been crying not helping matters.
"How's Usagi?" He asked hugging Chibiusa a bit tighter
"They…took her away she stopped breathing… there was blood… so much blood I don't know anything else." Ami whispered rubbing at the tears that started to fall once again. Mamoru was too shocked to say anything he just sat there running his hand through his future daughter's hair her presence reassuring him.
"Well, Chibiusa is still here therefore Usagi is fine." Mamoru said trying to reassure himself more then Ami, who looked over at Mamoru for the first time after sitting down.
"You're right if she's still here then Usagi has to be ok." Ami said absolutely giddy at this revelation.
"Ami I thought you were supposed to be the smart one." Mamoru sighed spirits lifting simple by looking at the joy that filled the girls eyes.
It hurt and it was hard to breath. Where was Setsuna why wasn't she here anymore? Michiru wasn't able to think anymore as the pain started to become unbearable she opened her mouth to scream nothing coming out.
"I see you're awake that's good only had to wait about ten minutes." The familiar voice said after a sort pause. Michiru's eyes shot open searching for the holder of the voice eyes finally resting on a woman with silver blonde hair in a tight leather dress.
"..A.." Michiru choked unable to breathe well.
"Ah that would be the drug I gave you about a minute ago, supposed to paralyze the lungs horrible was to die I hear." She took a step forward face right above Michiru's a sickening smile stretching ear to ear looked down at her.
"Ever since the day I met you I couldn't help but hate you. The way you'd always think you're better than me well who's better now?!" The woman questioned slamming her balled fist down on Michiru's already broken form causing Michiru to gasp making it harder to breathe then it already was, her breath coming in short gasps.
"I only ever wanted us to get along but what did you do? YOU PUSHED ME AWAY!" She brought her fist down again this time crushing Michiru's hand under her strength
"WELL NOW YOU'RE THE ONE GETTING PUSHED AWAY!" The woman was yelling now tears falling from her eyes.
"Now look what you've made me do," The woman said wiping tears from her eyes, "Eric we have to go before we miss our chance." The woman commanded quickly headed for the door.
"Have fun dying alone you bitch." She spat at Michiru before leaving.
Setsuna was crying softly again as she finished telling her story unable to look Haruka in the eyes Rei still slowly cleaning her hands now.
"Do you mean to tell me Michiru got hit by a car because she was chasing after you?" Haruka asked voice thick with tears, hoping this wasn't true.
"Yes… it's all my fault." Setsuna choked out with a nod. Rei had finished cleaning her up putting the washcloth back into her bag wordlessly.
"Don't you have anything to say to this?" Haruka asked Rei hurt filling her voice
"What do you want me to say? That I'm sorry? You already know I am I can't change anything." Rei spoke calmly looking to her feet.
"You sound like you don't even care!" Haruka accused her anger rising
"Of course I care!" Rei spat
"But I can't change was happened I can only hope she'll make it!" Rei practically yelled bringing her eyes to meet Haruka's both pairs filled with tears.
"Well I can't!" Haruka spat running out of the bathroom.
"Let's go back to the other." Rei said swiping at the tears in her eyes.
"Yeah let's." Setsuna agreed sliding off the counter and heading out the door with Rei.
Haruka ran passed them so fast it was hard to tell who is was.
"Wha?" Ami muttered looking after Haruka who was yelling now something about Michiru. Turning her head to the sound of footsteps Ami saw Rei followed by a considerably clean Setsuna.
"What happened?" Ami asked Rei as they got within hearing range.
"Michiru was hit by a car chasing after Setsuna… we don't know if she'll make it." Rei supplied trying to push past the new lump in her throat.
"Oh my god." Ami whispered all previous happiness instantly gone.
"She'll make it she's a fighter." Mamoru assured.
"Setsuna why don't you take Hotaru and Chibiusa back to Mamoru's place it's late they'll need their sleep." Rei said sitting down next to a sleeping Hotaru.
"Where is Chibiusa Rei asked looking at Hotaru.
"She should be in the gift shop she woke up a little bit ago and wanted to get Usagi a get well soon gift. I could go get her if you want me to." Mamoru offered starting to stand.
"Now I'll do it." Setsuna said standing over Hotaru.
"Hey you need to wake up." Setsuna said softly as she started shaking Hotaru's shoulder.
"What did I miss?" Hotaru asked as she yawned rubbing her tired eyes.
"We're going back to Mamoru's place go wait for me by the car while I get Chibiusa ok?" Setsuna asked stepping back as Hotaru stood and stretched.
"Ok." She replied walking sleepily to the exit. Setsuna entered the gift shop and spotted her little pink haired lady looking at stuffed bunnies.
"Come on little lady it's time for you to go to bed." Setsuna said putting her hand on top of the girl's head lovingly.
"OH! Geez you scared me Pluto, but I want to get Usagi something." Chibiusa said her hand still over her heart trying to calm it.
"Tomorrow, but right now we have to leave… Hotaru is waiting." Setsuna taunted trying to put the events from today behind her.
"Well why didn't you say so?" Chibiusa asked excitedly pulling Setsuna by her hand out of the gift shop.
"Say goodbye to Mamoru and the girls first." Setsuna scolded as Chibiusa almost pulled her past them without so much as a word.
"Ok, I'll be right back then." Chibiusa said running over to her father and jumping into his arms for a goodbye hug. Setsuna looked towards the exit unable to see Hotaru, it wasn't surprising seeing how late it had gotten the sun had already set for the day.
"Let's go Puu." Chibiusa said using Setsuna's old nickname. Walking out into the parking lot Setsuna was worried there weren't many cars left and Hotaru wasn't in sight.
"Hotaru?" Setsuna called picking up her pace as she approached the car before she got there she could see something lying on the ground and broke into a run yelling for Hotaru again. Setsuna fell to her knees reaching the car, she was looking at the small rabbit Chibiusa had gotten her friend shortly after they had saved the world a year ago an object Hotaru always kept close.
"HOTARU!" Setsuna screamed panicking now something was wrong Hotaru was gone.
After yelling at many nurses Haruka finally found out where Michiru was she full out sprinted to the operating room without so much as a thank you as soon as she got what she wanted. Ignoring the warnings of nurses Haruka burst into the room and was horrified by what she saw. Michiru was laying on the operating table struggling to breath her figure broken and hardly recognizable under all of the blood and bruises.
"Michi-" Haruka choked looking at the love of her life struggling. Taking her eyes off of her Haruka looked around the room and gasped at the sight what looked like a doctor and two nurses where on the ground obviously dead. Hearing the struggled breaths of Michiru Haruka ran to her side looking into her lover's eyes as she exhaled her last breath
"MICHIRU!" Haruka yelled holding her lifeless body in her arms tears cascading down her face.
