Love Sings chapter five
It pains me to announce…that I do not own the characters of sailor moon…WAHHH!!!
Thanks James Birdsong for your support, it helps me a lot, same for Petiyaka, it's really hard to match up a song with a scene, and for some reason, last chapter didn't come out the way I wanted it to (I'll probably go and edit that when I finish this marathon at a later time)
"Speak"
'Thought'
Dreams/memories
Lyrics- I not going to tell you what the song is until later, it'll give the chapter away
Michiru sat in the stadium, surrounded by fans, ready to watch the track competition begin. Through her computer, she had tracked Haruka's activities at her school. She was not surprised that Haruka was the star of the track team; after all, Haruka was the senshi of wind. She was ready to finally meet Haruka after so many years apart and she was so excited.
Suddenly, she felt a disturbance in the sea. A youma was nearby. Cursing in her mind, she responded quickly to the call. As she ran towards her car, she thought 'At least the competition is a two day event, and maybe I can finish this youma off before her race starts. Youmas are easy to kill, right?'
Michiru disregarded any speeding laws and quickly reached the source of the disturbance. The signal came from an alleyway, but the only person that was there was a young girl, only twelve, walking towards the other end. Then, the girl started to scream, like she was hurt. Michiru ran to her, expecting to find blood or some sort of wound, but she was thrown back by some unidentifiable force. As she sat gawping, a shadow sprang from the girl and consumed the girl. The shadow became flesh and took the shape of a blood red cat on its hind legs, with sharp claws and elongated fangs. It approached her, but before it could attack, another person ran into the alley. It was Setsuna but in civilian clothes.
Michiru watched as Setsuna shouted "Pluto Planet Power, Make Up!" and she was transformed into Sailor Pluto. Pluto then manifested her power into a large purple ball, and, issuing
"Dead Scream" she pushed the monster away from Michiru. Michiru knew instinctively that Pluto had not attacked with her full power, and as she questioned this in her head, the wand that she had forgotten in her car, suddenly appeared before her. Michiru knew what she had to do. She grabbed the wand and mechanically shouted
"Neptune Planet Power, Make Up!"
She was immediately transformed into Sailor Neptune, for the first time in her present life. The uniform fit like a glove, and showcased her attributes.
"Neptune, finish the youma off!" shouted Pluto as she leapt onto the roof of one of the buildings.
"But won't that hurt the girl?"
"Yes, your attack will immediately kill her as it kills the youma inside her. She cannot be helped."
"I refuse to do that!"
"If you do not, then you will die. That youma will show no mercy to you or any other victims. We are soldiers, mercy is not allowed. It will get easier in time, but this is something you must learn now." And with that, Pluto left.
Michiru stared at the youma. She had seen it as a girl and couldn't get past that fact. Suddenly, the youma ran towards the street, and started to attack the innocent people on the street. Michiru didn't think, she ran towards it, and then stopped in front of it, blocking it from hurting any more people.
"Deep Submerge!"
She sent her attack towards the monster, and it screamed with the same voice the girl had issued before she turned into the youma as a blue ball of power engulfed it in water, drowning it effectively. It died, and its body reverted back to that of the young girl.
Michiru was horrified. She felt revolted at herself and nearly threw up. Before anyone else could come, she jumped upon the building and ran. As she ran thoughts filtered through her mind; about being a soldier, about killing, about the girl, about everything she had been through in her life.
'It is too late for me to turn back. I have made my choice. Next time, I will not hesitate; I will kill the youma and find the talismans, at any cost…but what about Haruka? I am sure that she has received the same dreams as I have, so she must remember me and our love. If I can reach her before she accepts this destiny, maybe I can protect her from this life'
She hadn't realized that she ran to the stadium, turned back to her civilian form, and that the day had flown by her and night had come. She sat down hard on a bench, images of the fight flashing behind her eyes. A door opened and slammed behind her. Her eyes flew open as she saw Haruka and another runner leave the locker room. Haruka looked exactly the same as she had in her memories, blonde hair light by the moon, handsome features shadowed by the casted light. Her walk displayed the perfect balance of an athlete and beneath her clothes; Michiru knew there was raw muscle underneath.
Their eyes made contact.
And Haruka's eyes rolled right over her, with no sign of recognition, and walked past her, still talking.
As Michiru lost sight of Haruka, tears began to fall from her eyes.
She had never felt alone.
You never looked so good
As you did last night
Underneath the city lights
There walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through me
They kissed as they died together, embraced in death together.
Michiru lay on her bed, embracing the pillow, remembering all the love they shared in their past life.
She would not give up.
'Tomorrow, I will approach her.' And she fell into a dreamless sleep.
The next day
Haruka straightened from tying her shoe. The girl she had met the day before was next to her. Elsa Gray was her name, the girl who wouldn't stop staring at her. As they walked towards the starting line, Elsa started to talk
"I hear you're very fast"
Haruka made a small noise of acknowledgement
"but I won't lose" Elsa finished her sentence.
Haruka disregarded her comment and was about to focus on the race when suddenly THAT dream ran across her mind.
It was the destruction of the city again, and the same woman from before appeared. She spoke the same words but there was a different meaning to them. Haruka knew that she had a destiny to become a soldier, that she had a mission and that she must do whatever it takes to accomplish that mission. But this time, the woman had underlying tones of desperation and another emotion that Haruka could not discern. It scared her.
The gun sounded, and the runners took off.
Haruka won, but her heart wasn't in it. She held back, running for her wasn't about winning and competition and victory, it was about becoming something more. It was about leaving her fears and here inhibitions behind, and leaving her life behind her and the not having to worry about where she was headed.
As Haruka packed up, Elsa Gray came again, she spoke about the rumors she heard about Haruka again, but then she introduced someone. Kaiou Michiru, intelligent and a prodigy
"You aren't sweating at all, perhaps you were holding back quite a bit?" Said Michiru, as she looked at Haruka
Haruka wasn't expecting that comment
"What do you mean?"
Michiru smiled
"Can't you hear the sound of wind rustling?"
Realization dawned on Haruka as she heard those words. Michiru wasn't just some girl, she was THE girl, the girl from the dreams, and she knew exactly what she was destined for, and what Michiru herself was destined for.
Michiru saw the flash of recognition in Haruka's eyes 'She remembers me, I know she does!'
Then Haruka said "You're weird"
And Michiru's hopes vanished for a quick moment
"What do you want with me?" asked Haruka
"Would you be a model for one of my drawings?" Michiru asked, hoping for an excuse to be alone with Haruka, so that they could talk
But Haruka passed on her offer; she didn't like stuff like that.
Haruka walked away.
Michiru's eyes were downcast as she returned to her apartment.
But I'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life
It hurt, to finally find the one you were destined for, only to be disappointed with denial.
How can you just walk on by?
Without one tear in your eye?
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
How could Haruka remember and not feel anything between them? They died together, and they loved together!
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
'Haruka, why are you doing this to me? Don't you feel it? Are you not fazed by what happened to us previously?'
You, I hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well
As far as I can tell
In the coming days, Michiru continued to be friends with Elsa Gray, hoping to catch news of Haruka through her.
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what you're secret is
Michiru fought youma on a daily basis, but her fighting style was impaired. She was trained to fight with a partner, not alone.
How can you just walk on by?
Without one tear in your eye?
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
After she was severely injured, Setsuna had to start fighting with her. It helped Michiru, but she never forgot who was really supposed to be beside her.
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
She had tried to contact Haruka one other time, but it was apparent that she was not welcome.
Did you forget the magic?
Did you forget the passion?
After a while, Michiru became an ice princess, and rarely talked to anyone. It was worse than hen her parents had died.
Did you ever miss me?
Ever long to kiss me?
When Haruka left the track team, and became a race car driver, Michiru showed no sign of feeling whatsoever.
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
But she became curious one day. She turned on the TV, and immediately saw Haruka on her screen.
She was as stunning as ever.
And Michiru fell in love again.
You, you never looked so good
Hope you enjoyed that, came out quite easily!EPisode 106 again, next chapter will be the last one using 106, I promise!!
