Lyrics- Remember When it Rained by Josh Groban, you should listen to it while reading, it's that good.
Together they lay, underneath the stars. Haruka slept, cradling Michiru close to her as she leaned against a tree. Michiru slowly opened her eyes, as her mind slowly began to process just what happened.
'We shouldn't have done that…what were we thinking? If she…I don't know what I'd do. It's my fault that she became a soldier, I was weak, and I let my feelings show. Please, if there is a god out there, let her live, let her retain her innocence'
Michiru snuggled closer to Haruka and fell asleep again.
As Michiru curled herself around Haruka, Haruka lifted her hooded eyes. She stared down at Michiru, admiring the aqua hair that curled around her shoulders, her lips that remained slightly open, and her hands, gentle and smooth, but also strong and muscled, most likely from her training on the violin. Haruka wrapped an arm around Michiru's waist as she admired the stars, drawing them closer.
'It's a beautiful night, with the full moon out…but what makes this memorable is Michiru. To think, I might have never had this chance, if I hadn't gone to the cruise…that was the turning point, where she left me thinking. She didn't want to become a soldier anymore than I did, she had her own dreams, her own future to plan…then something like this just comes and it destroys those dreams, and you're forced into this life…but I think mine will be better, as long as Michiru is here…'
She continued to stare at the stars, lost in her own thoughts.
Neither of them saw the red eyes staring at them.
Suddenly, a burst of cold wind swept upon Haruka's face.
Michiru tightened up and leapt to her feet, as Haruka tried to comprehend what had just happened.
"Quickly, Transform!"
Michiru pulled out her henshin pen and uttered her transformation phrase, as a confused Haruka complied.
"What's going on?"
"There's a youma nearby! Come on, we have to get there before anyone's hurt!"
Michiru left Haruka in the clearing before she was even done with her transformation.
Haruka hurriedly charged into the forest after Michiru. They ran northwards, towards a public park located outside of the city. There, a large youma was attacking a couple on a moonlight stroll. Haruka watched as Michiru ran straight towards the youma, pulling back her fist as she went. The youma turned too late, and Michiru's fist toppled the youma over. Haruka grinned and started to run towards Michiru and the youma, ready to test her fighting skills, but before she could reach them, a second youma appeared and grabbed an unsuspecting Michiru from behind.
Haruka froze, unable to move in fear of the youma hurting Michiru. The first youma grabbed the terrified couple and held them hostage.
"Now, Sailor Uranus, you must choose! Save your love and that couple will die! Or risk the love of your life and save the two innocents!"
Haruka stared at the figure that appeared next to her, eyes widened in horror.
"You know what to do."
With that, the mysterious figure left.
Haruka's mind raced against the clock
'What can I do? Either way, someone will die tonight…I don't want that to be Michiru, but I can't just sacrifice those two like that, they haven't done anything wrong! I can't…Damn it, what can I do?!'
Michiru knew what she must do; as she had learned, the lives of the innocents must always come before hers
"Uranus, you must save the innocents! I'll be fine, remember?"
The youma moved to shut her up
Haruka's thought whirled as she tried to remember what Michiru had told her
"As a senshi, I heal faster than an average human…"
'I'm sorry, Michiru'
She ran, full speed at the youma holding the couple, and knocked them from its grasp.
Turning to them she yelled "Run!" and threw herself at the youma. She scored a kick on its midriff and blocked two oncoming blows before she was thrown into the air by a powerful punch. Gasping for breath, she tried to clear her head as rain started to pour downwards. She launched herself into the air, ready to slam into the youma, but before she could, Michiru gave a chilling scream and the youma flipped Haruka over its back and slammed her into the ground. Fighting to maintain consciousness, Haruka managed to glance over to where Michiru was.
Michiru lay in puddle of blood, her sailor fuku fading, her form barely breathing. The youma had clawed her stomach and back, tearing through the flesh and muscle.
It approached Michiru, and raised its claw, ready to deliver the final blow.
Deep inside of Haruka, something snapped.
She leapt towards the youma and slammed it hard into the ground. Gaining the upper hand, she delivered blow after blow, feeling the bines underneath break and snap. After two minutes, she stopped, breathing hard, as the youma lay prone underneath her. She looked around; searching for the other youma, but it had run when she began her berserk attack. Now it was only her and Michiru left. Haruka crept towards Michiru's body.
Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you.
Slowly, carefully, she attempted to turn Michiru over. Blood began to stain her clothes, as the sky continued to rumble and drop water on her.
"No" she moaned "No, Michiru, no!"
She broke down, cradling Michiru, rocking her back and forth
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do.
Ohhhh, remember when it rained,
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name
Tears mixed with rain, dripping down Haruka's face as she smoothed Michiru's hair back from her face. Her sailor fuku was gone, leaving her in clothes unfit for a storm, and she soon began shivering.
Ohhhh, Remember when it rained,
In the darkness I remain.
Thunder and lightning crashed overhead, as the sound of ambulances started in the far distance. Haruka concentrated on the shallow breathing Michiru, barely hearing the sound of a heartbeat as she pressed her face close against Michiru's chest.
As the ambulance came closer, as the occupants saw the form of a tall boy leaning brokenly over a young lady, both covered in blood. Medical instincts took over, and they ran towards the couple, with a stretcher loaded with medical supplies between them. They had to restrain the boy as they loaded the young lady onto the cart, and hurried her back to ambulance. They couldn't waste any time, the victim was in critical condition, and they left the boy there.
Haruka knelt where Michiru had lain, tears still leaking out, hoping and praying that a miracle would happen.
Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die.
The pavement still had Michiru blood left on it, despite the rain. Haruka touched the puddles as her clothes became soaked, but were still stained with Michiru's blood. She banged her fists upon the ground, asking herself why, why had this happened, why had she chosen the two strangers over Michiru, the only person she ever felt love from.
Ohhhh, remember when it rained,
I Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name
She laid her forehead on the ground next to her clenched fists.
Ohhhh, Remember when it rained,
In the water I remain
Running down
Running down
She jolted herself upwards, a single name issuing from her mouth as her face contorted in agonyand every muscle clenched and screaming in pain.
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
She collapsed, and lay in the bloody water. Her eyes closed one more time, as deafening thunder roared in her ears.
Running down
…I'm going off to cry now, you can come join me if you want to.
Genna offers tissue
"Thanks honey"
7z7 blows nose loudly and returns the tissue to a reluctant Genna.
"And don't forget to Review Please!!"
