Michiru Paused and glanced over the now clean kitchen, her thoughts still swirling from that morning
Why did I take it out on poor Ruka? She didn't even know about any of it!
She wanted to go apologize to her Koi however she didn't know if she was still upset or not, after all she had been treated unfairly.
Michiru made her way up the stairs, only to see a clearly tearful Haruka holding Hotaru closely.
"Ruka?" The Guardian of Neptune asked softly and the blond warrior glanced up, shocked by her lover's voice.
"Michi? What is it?" she asked softly, surprising the blue haired girl by using a soft voice.
"I'm Sorry Haruka, I've just had a lot on my mind this morning and I didn't know how to tell you." She rushed, tears stinging her own eyes now.
"Its alright Mich, I should have know something was bothering you by how you just wanted me to stay asleep this morning." The guardian of Uranus replied, standing up and ruffling Hotaru's hair.
"you mean you could tell?" Michiru asked, surprised by this information and Haruka laughed
"of course Baka, normally you'd wake me just to get to nag." the blond retorted playfully, kissing her partner briefly.
Hotaru fake gagged at the sight of her two parents display of affection.
"I agree with Hotaru, Enough PDA." Setsuna stated, earning a playful glare from the young couple.
"Oh shut up, both of you." Haruka replied lightheartedly as she wrapped her arm around the blue haired girl.
"if you two are going to get touchy then go to a hotel somewhere!" Setsuna remarked in a whisper that was only loud enough for the two teens to hear, causing Haruka to turn blood red.
"Setsuna!" Michiru exclaimed, flushing slightly but not as badly as her partner, knowing that the statement was actually just teasing.
However Setsuna only smirked and waved the comment off, before retreating to her bedroom to work on a paper that she had to finish for her collage class the next day.
Once Setsuna was gone Haruka glared at Michiru and then at the door that the time guardian was hiding behind.
"we should lock her in there!" she growled, getting lightly smacked on the arm by her lover.
"Haruka! She was just teasing. She knows we have more dignity than that! After all there is a child in this house!" Michiru chided, just as warmly.
"Oh come on Michi! You have to admit it would be funny to see her have to teleport out of that room." the Racer pointed out. Causing the blue haired sea goddess to roll her eyes.
"Haruka, you know how much energy that takes. So keep that thought out of your head before you end up in a lot more trouble than you where a second ago." Michiru threatened, glaring pointedly at the other sixteen year old.
"geez, you act like a prank was going to kill someone." Haruka muttered, earning herself a light swat to the back of her head.
"you are so immature." Michiru claimed mischievously, hugging the sulking blond for a moment.
"Oh you know that you love that about me." Haruka retorted, resting her chin on the smaller teen's head.
"Ew! Stop being yucky!" Hotaru exclaimed, covering her eyes.
"We where just hugging Taru, we're not being 'yucky' at all." Michiru replied, acting offended.
"I think I should put some sense into her." Haruka growled, tickling the seven year old for a few minutes before stopping and adding gently "I love you Hime-chan." causing the child to nestle closer into her embrace.
"I love you too." came the soft reply.
Michiru watched this transaction between her lover and daughter, smiling at how happy both of them looked.
He was right, His daughter is far better off here with us.
