A/N: I want to thank Sangoscourage for suggesting having Michiru help Tsuki and Karunā work things out because I had no clue how I was going to have them work it out.

"Did you see the look on her face? Seriously you'd think that I had grown another head or something." Haruka laughed as she walked through the garden, one arm wrapped tightly around Michiru's waste.

"You'd think that after Serenity became queen that people wouldn't freak out over who is with whom." Michiru stated however a sudden sob interrupted them.

"Who could that be?" she wondered as they went in the direction that the sound was coming from.

Karunā looked up as soon as she heard someone approach however much to her relief it was only Uranus and Neptune.

"What's wrong squirt?" Haruka asked, causing the teen to smile despite her tears.

"Nothing."

The tall blonde gave her a knowing glare as both women sat down on either side of the girl.

"Did my clod of a sister say something tactless?"

Haruka asked, earning a sniff.

"No, I did."

Karunā replied, burying her face into her arms.

"Uh oh…..well tell us all about what happened."

Meanwhile Tsuki paced across the living room, ranting to Yaten who was seated on the couch looking bored.

"We don't need any more fucking kids! We have four….not counting Akemi! I can barely help you raise them…..I'm not emotionally equipped for the kids we do have!" Tsuki stated, earning a sigh.

"Like it or not Karunā looks up to you as a parental figure and has for quite some time. Setsuna was probably nervous when Shoku called her mom but she didn't turn Shoku away nor did she turn you away." Yaten retorted, glancing nervously at the stairs and hoping that their four wouldn't wake up.

"I'm supposed to be a damned teacher Yaten! Not her parent! I can't believe you knew this all along and didn't fucking tell me!" Tsuki snapped, earning a scoff.

"You love her and don't pretend you don't. I know that teenagers are a bit harder to raise than children but honestly….You accepted being Akemi's aunt when technically you are not related to her in this life. You should at least give her a chance." Yaten stated with a sigh.

Haruka was surprised when Karunā hugged her, though she only returned the hug, rubbing the teens' back as she listened to her fears.

"Tsuki can be an ass but she does love you." Haruka assured softly "You both have short tempers….and just sort of butted heads tonight."

Karunā could barely even focus as she listened to the other's words, though suddenly Michiru stated.

"Why don't we walk you back home? It's getting late and it's supposed to rain….I think this is something that you two need to work out."

Karunā managed a nod as she stumbled to her feet, though Michiru only pulled her into a hug and whispered "it'll be okay."

Tsuki heard the door open and looked up, only to see that Karunā was cowering behind Michiru.

"Don't say a word. You two are going to sit down and talk about this like mature adults." She stated, earning a glare from her sister in law.

Tsuki began to say something though the sea senshi cut her off.

"Don't even say it. I know how bad your temper is."

Yaten snorted at this and headed toward their room.

"I'll let you handle this….I'll be in our room if you need me."

Haruka walked in then and stood by the door, just in case things got too much for even Michiru.

"Look, I don't need a babysitter. I can work this out on my own." Tsuki stated, earning a scoff from Haruka.

"Sis, you're worse at talking things out than I am and to be frank it's better if someone who is civil is here." The butch stated.

Tsuki only scowled and sat down, knowing from experience that this was a losing battle.

"What set you off Tsuki? What did Karunā say that was so bad?" Michiru asked, noticing how Tsuki glared over at the teen.

"She spent a few weeks in the past and she thinks she knows me well enough to say that I'm not a monster! You all know what I did! I even attacked you and Haruka! I don't know why Serenity didn't seal me off somewhere!" Tsuki yelled, earning a sigh.

"She's right. You aren't a monster, not even close." Haruka stated from the doorway "you were young and had too much power coursing through you….plus we all know that there was a partial eclipse that week…..your power was peaked."

Tsuki was about to say something else when Karunā spoke, her voice shaking with nervousness.

"You can't be a monster…Not if your complete full power form came out just to protect someone." Karunā stated, sounding close to tears again.

"I don't care if you hate me…..or if you make me leave. You're the closest thing to a parent I've had in a long time."

Tsuki's eyes widened at this, sighing.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"My parents worked all the time. I know they loved me…..but mostly I felt like a bother. But here it doesn't feel like I'm a bother…..I feel like I can be myself and don't have to worry about asking for help." Karunā asked, tears running down her face as she looked away before adding

"But I guess that's over now."

Tsuki sighed as she walked over to the sofa, towering over her.

"Karunā….I am not going to kick you out or whatever. Hell, you caught me off guard." Tsuki admitted then added "I'm sorry I lost my temper but honestly...I'm not a good remodel at all."

"I beg to differ. You gave the amazon brats encouragement and even loved them when you were in your own darkness." Michiru stated, earning a sigh from Tsuki.

"Yeah but I've hurt them….I….I wasn't good for anything back then." Tsuki stated, causing Haruka to groan.

"Oi….Tsuki you were a kid yourself. Hell Setsuna was their legal guardian because you were too young to. You know that it took you years to get over your own childhood traumas." Haruka stated.

"M….Tsuki…..I know it took a while because you were still having nightmares while I was there." Karunā stated, earning a sigh.

"It's okay kid….You can call me whatever you want." Tsuki assured, earning a wide eyed look before Karunā almost knocked her down with a hug.
