The scream was loud enough to wake the neighbors. As the two figures masked in the darkness, slowly tried to come back down from their high in the mess of their sweaty and tangled limbs a rush of dull footsteps from outside in the hall was heard. Their door flung open and the light switched on. Serena squeaked in horror as she tried to conceal her naked self from her young adopted daughter. Haruka, however, didn't mind that she was bare, in her mind, they were all females afterall.
"Wh-What's wrong, Asuka? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Where's the fire, Mom? Did their house go up again?" The blonde fourteen-year old replied.
"Again? What do you mean, Asuka?" the sandy blonde wondered, getting up from the bed and pulled on her discarded robe.
"You didn't hear the scream of anguish?"
Both Serena and Haruka looked at each other and Serena was the first to flush a deep pink as she hid under the covers with an embarassed groan.
"That was just your mother, go to bed," Haruka chuckled as she ushered their daughter out of the room. Asuka turned around,
"Then . . . that wasn't a painful scream?"
"Nope, more like a pleasure -" A pillow hit the back of the wind senshi's head. She turned around to see her koneko fuming on the bed, her face still flushed pink.
"Don't you dare fill her head with gutter thoughts!"
"Alright, alright, my koneko-chan. Now, Asuka . . . Go to bed," Haruka said finally to her daughter.
"Okay, night Mommy . . . Mother."
When the fourteen-year old left, Haruka closed the door behind her and turned off the lights as she got back into bed and snuggled up against the still fuming moon princess.
"Come on, Serena. It was your fault that you were loud enough to wake Asuka."
"I didn't think I was that loud," Serena pouted.
"You were loud enough to wake a whole city," Haruka joked.
"Haruka!" Serena cried.
"Okay, okay, it's partly my fault. Next time, I'll take the loving down a notch," Haruka replied.
"No! I'll . . . I'll just be quiet next time . . ." Serena replied in a whisper. Haruka was thankful that the darkness concealed them. She didn't want her koneko see the evil grin she sported on her lips. Next time, Haruka promised herself, she would make the moon princess scream until the whole world could hear.
