Love Story
It had been a few days and Haruka was becoming worried that she had scared Michiru away. Also, it had been awhile she had seen Setsuna too. Haruka was sitting outside on the balcony, which was the same one that she met Michiru on, when she saw her mother.
"Haruka what are you doing out here?" Her mother had been becomingly increasingly worried about her.
"I'm just thinking and waiting for Setsuna."
"Again?" The Queen of Uranus saw her daughter nod, "You know that she is busy. I'm sure she will come. What is bothering you so much?"
"A lot of things."
That worried the queen. She knew that this most likely had to do Michiru. "How are things going with Michiru?"
"Pretty good, at least I think so."
"Why pretty good?"
"I like Michiru."
Her mother smiled, "That is good."
"You're not mad?"
"No, I'm not. I figured that out."
"Really?" That surprised Haruka. This was something that she had not thought of. "Are you sure you're not mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad?"
"It is just that this would make the rumors true."
"Those rumors have never bothered me personally, but you know that I have to go along with your father at some points."
Haruka smiled, "I do really like her. I don't think that our powers brought us together. I think that it was destiny to meet."
"It most likely was, but you cannot deny that your powers played a role." Her mother smiled at the thought of Uranus and Neptune joining their powers. It had been far too long since the guardian of their planet had her partner. "Besides like I said before your powers have drawn you two together."
"What do I do now?"
"What you have been doing and just a little more."
"That really doesn't help me." Haruka sighed, "I just know that Ryoushi is only after the title and nothing more. I don't care about titles or any of that stuff."
Haruka's mother had to hold back her laughter, "I understand that."
"What should I do?"
"Figure out a way to tell her how you feel."
Haruka blushed, "I did that already."
"Did you tell her in person or take the coward way out and put it in a letter?"
"Both," Haruka whispered, "but I don't think that explaining it in the letter is a coward thing."
"Did you kiss her first?"
The young princess nodded, "I did and then as much as I wanted to tell her in person I couldn't."
"At least you don't have to worry about tell her."
"I am very worried."
"Yes, but you kissed her already and so I think that is pretty obvious on how you feel."
"I hope so."
"I'm sure that she knows. Pluto," the queen hated having to call the senshi by their names, "will be here later. I wouldn't worry about anything."
"Thanks mom."
"You're welcome Haruka."
The princess watched her mother leave the balcony. Haruka hoped that her mother was right. She was not ready to never be able to talk to Michiru anymore. Haruka decided that she needed to see the other girl, but before she got the chance, Setsuna appeared in front of her.
"I have been waiting for you Setsuna!"
"I'm sorry," the guardian of Pluto sighed, "I was visiting with Michiru."
"How is she?" Haruka secretly was hoping for a letter, which was made true when she saw what the other girl was holding.
Setsuna handed Haruka the letter, "She is good."
Haruka smiled as she grabbed the letter, "At least I know that she doesn't hate me."
"Michiru never hated you and I doubt that she would be able to." Setsuna watched her fellow senshi open the letter before saying, "I have to leave now, but I'll be back to talk about the arrangements."
"Arrangements for what?"
"You'll see," Setsuna wanted to tell the blonde princess what the arrangements were, but decided not to. "I'll see you either later today or tomorrow."
"Bye," Haruka said as she watched Setsuna vanish. She wanted to know how to do that. As much as Haruka wanted to sit and read the letter, she did not know if she could. Before she left the balcony, she folded the envelope and put it in her pocket.
As Haruka left the balcony, she wondered who could be at the palace. From the level of noise it sounded like a lot people. Haruka was pretty sure that no meeting had been scheduled. Instead of letting it bother her, she walked to her bedroom.
"Haruka!"
The princess of Uranus turned around and saw her mother running toward her, "What is going on?"
"Something has attacked Neptune."
"What are you talking about?" Haruka was terrified and extremely worried about Michiru. "Why didn't Setsuna tell me?"
"You know as well as I do that she can't tell you everything."
"What do I do?"
"You need to go on the next available flight. We are sending some supplies over." The queen wished that they could do more, but the king had made it clear what he wanted to do.
Haruka did not need to be told twice as she ran toward the flight area. She just hoped that she would make it to Neptune in time because she was not sure how long Michiru could fight off the enemy.
But you were everything to me;
I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"
When Haruka arrived, she could see nothing but damaged buildings. The bright, beautiful Neptune had been destroyed. It took under a minute before Haruka started running toward the palace. The wind senshi did not know whether to be angry at Setsuna or not.
Haruka's heart dropped when she saw that the palace had been reduced to rubble. She did not think twice as she ran straight into what would have been the palace entrance.
"Where are you Michiru?" Haruka thought as she ran. "I need to know."
Haruka had been searching for a good twenty minutes before she felt a great power. She did not know what the power was, but it was the only clue she had. Haruka ran as fast as she could through the rubble to find that power was none other than Michiru. Haruka was surprised at how strong she was.
"Michiru!" Haruka exclaimed as she ran to her. "What happened?"
"I don't know," Michiru took as deep breath, "we were attacked."
It was then that she realized Michiru's arm was bleeding. Without a second thought, she ripped off a piece of her senshi fuku. "Are there survivors?"
"I'm not sure," Michiru winced as Haruka finished tying the knot. "I know for sure that whoever this was killed the king and queen."
"How do you know that?"
"Well, I found them," Michiru stumbled and was caught by Haruka, "with holes in their chests and my father had a major cut from his shoulder down to just below his rib cage."
Haruka truly felt bad for Michiru. She had no idea what to say to her. "I have to get you out of here."
"I can't leave Ruka!"
"Why not?" Haruka hoped that she was given a reasonable explanation because right now all she wanted to do was keep the other girl safe.
"Because I have to stay and help my people," Michiru stated as a matter of fact when she walked out of Haruka's arms. "I know that I shouldn't care, but these people are going to be looking toward me to project them."
Haruka smiled when she had received the explanation and she knew that she would not be leaving Neptune. "I understand completely, but you are injured and I need to make sure that you are going to be ok."
"It is just a little cut," Michiru jumped as she heard another building explode. "We need to find a safe place and organize a plan. Do you think your kingdom would be willing to help?"
"We sent supplies over, but I am sure Setsuna could tell mother to send some of our soldiers over. It is a long shot because we shouldn't get involved…at least that is what my father says."
"That is true." Michiru was upset that Uranus would not help them, but then again it did make sense.
"Do you know what did this?"
Michiru shrugged, "Apparently there was an outside threat."
Haruka nodded, "Do you know from what?"
"I don't know." Michiru wished that she had information, but she just did not know who she was trying to protect her planet from. "Chances are we were attacked first since it is known that we don't have a Sailor Neptune most of the time."
"Well, I am staying here to fight alongside you."
"That is sweet, but I can't ask you to do that. It is too dangerous and bes-"
"I don't care about dangerous," Haruka said cutting Michiru off. "I care about protecting you," the Uranian Senshi wrapped her arms around Michiru, "and that is all that matters."
Michiru deeply kissed Haruka, "Of course, but I want to protect you too."
"This is our destiny to fight alongside one another."
"I like that destiny." Michiru laid her head on Haruka's shoulder. "We need to find a place to go before nightfall."
Haruka slowly looked around, "Is there a place underneath the palace?"
"I'm not sure, why?"
"Because I was thinking we might be safer there."
"I do know of one place though, but isn't anything great."
"We should go there," Haruka was a little worried about her partner.
Without a second thought, Michiru led Haruka to where the courtyard should have been. She watched Michiru run ahead of her. Haruka let her henshin fade until she was back in her normal cloths. After a few minutes, Haruka caught up to Michiru as she faded into her pink dress.
"Ruka," Michiru exclaimed, "over here!"
Haruka jogged over to the other girl, "Where are we going?"
"Just wait," Michiru leaned against a tree. "You need to get over here."
"I am," Haruka finished walked over to her. "Now what?"
Michiru grabbed Haruka's hand and pulled her close, "I'm so sorry Ruka, but it seems that we are surrounded." She thought that she could outrun the ones that were following them, but by the time they reached their destination she knew she was surrounded.
Haruka had been wondering when Michiru was going to notice. It only took a few seconds for their senshi fuku to appear. "I guess this is where our destiny comes into play."
"Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune yelled. She was going to protect her partner with everything she had.
Sailor Uranus smirked as she punched a youma, "Great job Michiru!"
Michiru quickly smiled before dodging another punch. She was not going to openly admit it, but the youmas were getting harder to fight. The Neptunian Princess was not sure if these youmas were stronger or if she was getting weaker. It was not long until she saw Haruka jump in front of her taking the sword that had been intended for her.
"Haruka!" Michiru screamed as she watched the other girl's henshin fade. "You dummy," she whispered as she caught Haruka before falling to the ground.
"Good," Haruka coughed up some blood, "you're ok."
"You're a dummy!"
"I couldn't let it kill you."
Michiru blinked back tears as she allowed her henshin to fade. "I wanted to spend every day with your forever and if you die I can't do that."
Haruka attempted to smile, "I'll always be with you. I love you Michiru."
"I love you too Haruka," Michiru quickly kissed her love's lips as she did that a youma stabbed Michiru in the back.
In the end, the two senshi had fulfilled their destiny of finding each other and dying together. The latter part of their destiny had never been mentioned.
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
I hoped that everyone enjoyed this chapter. There was some confusion that I might not be finishing this story but I am. With that said, this is the end of their past lives. Let me know what you all thought because I am not that good with fighting scenes.
