Mercurial Postal Service
(Guest Chambers Moon Palace, two months later)
“You’re coming home Pluto has already agreed to finish your training on Neptune.” Queen Nerissa said she had traveled from Neptune yet again to try to convince her daughter to come home.
“I don’t want to return to Neptune yet. I want to finish my training here with the others.” Neptune said sitting at the table with her mother. She was tired of having this argument. But she refused to move on it. She was going to stand up to her mother once and for all she wouldn’t allow her to control her life anymore.
“Michiru, I’m your mother and still your queen I’m ordering you to return to Neptune.” Queen Nerissa said waving her hands about trying to emphasize her point.
“Queen Serenity has said it’s my choice on where I finish my training. I want to finish it her with my friends.” Neptune said. “Why do you want me to come home so soon do you already have another suitor picked out for me?”
“Michiru you will not take that tone with me!” Queen Nerissa said getting angry with her.
“You do don’t you? What did this one’s family promise you? I am not a commodity for you to trade to whoever is the highest bidder!” Neptune said. “Why can’t you let me be free to choose who I love?”
“Let you chose who you love? Look where that got you. It’s bad enough you were seduced by a woman you were seduced by a bloody Uranian! I will not have my daughter with a Uranian.” Queen Nerissa said. “It’s amazing the Queen didn’t strip you of your Senshi rights for breaking the laws.”
“Screw the laws.” Neptune said standing up and slamming her hands down on the table. “I love Haruka.”
Queen Nerissa stood as well reached across the table and slapped Neptune across the face, “You will not say that heathen’s name in my presence. Queen Serenity has forbid you from being with her.”
“That still doesn’t change the fact that I love her and no matter how many of your suitors you shove at me will change that!” Neptune said holding her stinging cheek and sitting back down.
“What good does it do holding onto those false images of love? Do you really think that Uranian whore is going to come rescue you? She’s probably already moved onto her next victim. Michiru you were a play thing to her and nothing more.” Queen Nerissa said taking her seat again.
“I won’t sit here and listen to this. I’m staying here on the moon. Queen Serenity has made it clear that the choice is mine to make and I’ll not have you twisting my arm. Good day mother. I must be leaving or I’ll be late for classes and Lady Taima doesn’t tolerate tardiness.” Neptune said though the end of it was a lie they had classes in the morning and had been excused for the afternoon. Classes with Lady Taima were quite different than with Lady Pluto. Lady Taima still had her planet to rule and wasn’t able to be there all day. The classes were either in the morning or in the afternoon. The psychical training days were lead by Jupiter, Lady Taima daughter and Lady Taima wasn’t seen on those days.
Neptune stood and left the room and Queen Nerissa who was furious never before had she had so much trouble with her daughter. Neptune had always been so obedient. Neptune hurried back to her room wanting to get away from her mother and at the same time she wasn’t feeling well. She hadn’t been for the last several days. She made it to her room which was now a couple doors down from Mercury’s room. After the attack she couldn’t bare staying in that room there were just too many memories there. The Queen had allowed her to move to a single suite near the inner senshi. She opened the door and stepped in not hearing Mercury call her name.
Mercury made it to the door just as it closed she knocked on it but Neptune didn’t answer. She knocked one more time before opening the door peeking in, “Neptune?” She called. The lights of the room weren’t on but she could see a light coming from the bathroom. She walked across the room seeing the bathroom door open and Neptune leaning over the toilet sick. “Michiru!” Mercury said going to her cousins side handing her a wet towel from the sink. “Are you ok?” Mercury asked.
“I’m fine just not feeling well. I think I have the stomach flu or something. Maybe it’s just I’m sick of arguing with my mother.” Neptune said taking the towel and wiping her mouth then Mercury helped her up.
“Maybe you should lie down.” Mercury suggested Neptune nodded and followed Mercury back into her room crawling into bed. “I have something for you.” Mercury said handing Neptune a letter with the Jovian seal on it.
Neptune looked at the letter and took the letter opening it and reading who it was from, “It’s from Haruka!” Neptune said a smile on her face. “I wonder where she got the Jovian envelopes.”
“I asked Jupiter for a favor. She sent Uranus a bunch of envelopes and asked her brother to forward any he gets from Uranus to me so I can give them to you. We figured it would be harder to figure out you two were sending letters.” Mercury said.
“Ami, you can get in trouble for this if you get caught, Jupiter too.” Neptune said.
“Michiru you are my cousin and my friend I’ll do anything to help you, Jupiter too.” Mercury said.
“Thank you Ami.” Neptune said.
“Well I’ll leave you to read your letter. If you want to send one to her just give it to me and I’ll make sure she gets it.” Mercury said heading to the door, “I hope you feel better.”
“Thanks.” Neptune said then looked back at the letter reading it.
My Dearest Michiru,
Oh how I’ve missed you and how much I long to stare into your eyes once again. When I received a letter from Mercury explaining the system she and Jupiter devised for us to write each other my heart was lifted. Gods Michiru I miss you. At night I lie in my bed with my eyes closed trying to remember what it was like to hold you to feel your sweet kisses. I’m so sorry I couldn’t say good bye to you properly. But I assure you I did give you a kiss good bye even if you were asleep.
I so wish you were here with me. Pluto says my training is almost complete and my birthday is in two week I’ll be crowned Queen of Uranus. I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous in my life. No that’s a lie I’m not anywhere as nervous as the night I told you I loved you. That was the most amazing night of my life I’m so glad I spent it with you. Back to becoming Queen, Pluto says I’ll do fine; my people love me even with the crimes I’ve committed though they don’t know about our breaking the senshi law about our falling in loves. I wish you were here to hit me upside the head and tell me I’m over reacting. But Michiru I don’t know the first thing about being a Queen. I do have Pluto here to help me and my father’s advisor Kleyna.
You have no idea how mad he was at me when I told him I lost my signet ring. I told him I lost it because I know Pluto would be furious if she found out I gave it to you. That ring came with a promise you were asleep so you probably don’t remember what that promise was so I’ll tell you again. Michiru I swear I’ll come back to you. Nothing in this universe can keep me from you. I love you and nothing can kill that love. You know Queen Serenity told me right before I left that love is something can never die. She thinks that you and I are Amara and Michelle reborn. I’m starting to believe we are. How else can you explain everything we’ve been through? You’re seeing me in your mirror, our dreams hell we even chose to go by their names when we were on Mercury. If our love can survive from the last life to this life I have no doubt in my mind it will survive into the next. Have no fear though I don’t intend to make you wait until our next life. I will find my way back to you. We just have to be strong and wait. Our love will bring us through this. I love you Michiru I love you more than there are stars in the heavens and no distance can keep me from you.
Forever yours
Haruka < br> (Castle Miranda, Uranus two weeks later)
Uranus sat in her room in one chair and she had her feet up on another, her face buried in her knees. Her hands were clasped over her head as she rocked back and forth. “I can’t do this. I’m not ready. I can’t become Queen.” She said aloud to no one but herself. There was a knock on the door and Uranus looked at the door quickly smoothing her hair back down and standing walking over to the door with the illusion of composure. She wore a golden suite with a long golden cape at her side was the space blaster sword and a blue sash hung across her chest. She opened the door seeing a servant standing there a tray in his hands.
“A letter for you, your highness” The man said.
Uranus took the letter from him, “Thank you.”
“You are welcome, your Highness. Happy Birthday.” The servant said bowing then leaving.
Uranus shut the door and walked back to the chair she had been sitting in looking at the letter in her hands. It was in a Jovian envelope and post marked from Io Castle. “Michiru.” She said sitting down in the chair. Pluto had informed her shortly after arriving on Uranus that Neptune had awakened from her coma. This information not being given until Pluto was sick and tired of Uranus asking and gave it to her just to shut her up. She stared at the letter afraid to open it. She hadn’t heard from Michiru since before the attack. Would she still love her? She wrote though, she had to feel something. But what if this was a Dear John letter and she was writing to say she never wanted to see her again. Uranus swallowed then opened the letter reading it.
My Dearest Haruka,
When I awoke and remembered what happened to me there was only one thing image in my mind and that was being held in your arms as you whispered that you loved me and that everything would be alright. But then was told you had been exiled and forbidden to be near me. Then I found your ring on my finger and knew that no matter what they said we would be together. Our love is too strong to be stopped. It has already survived our deaths. Yes, I agree with you and the Queen. You are my Amara and I am your Michelle there is nothing else that can explain our love. I’ve always believed that we were meant to be. Some call it love at first sight but for us it was more. I knew I loved you from before I even saw you. I never felt anything for my suitors because my heart was holding out for you. I love you Haruka. I love you more than there are grains of sand on the largest Neptunian beach.
I didn’t know what Mercury and Jupiter had done until I received your letter. It brightened my day. My mother has been pressing for me to return hime to Neptune. You would be so proud of me. I’m finally standing up to her and saying no. Queen Serenity has said it is my choice where I finish my training. I want to finish it on the moon I know if I go home she will marry me off to her second best choice in suitors. I’ve never met any of the men she has chosen but judging by her last choice judging by… No I can’t think of him. He’s gone you’ve made sure he can’t ever hurt me again. Gods Haruka what would I have done if you hadn’t saved me? Thank you, thank you so much. I know you acted out of love for me and it makes me so proud. You call what you did a crime, murder even but no Haruka you aren’t a killer or a murderer. You are my hero, you saved me from him. And I wait here for you to come save me again and to take me away to where we will always be together.
Love, don’t worry about becoming Queen you are over reacting I know you will make a good Queen. If you show your people even half the love you’ve shown me I know there is nothing to be afraid of. You may stumble and fall at first but I know you. You are stubborn you will get right back up and keep going until you get it right. It is that determination that will make you a great Queen. Don’t be afraid it doesn’t suit you. I love you so much Haruka and miss you so much. I await the day I am back in your arms.
Forever yours
Michiru
P.S. Happy Birthday Love
Uranus finished the letter a smile on her face and didn’t hear as someone knocked on the door. She did notice though when it opened and Pluto stepped in. She quickly folded the letter and put it in her breast pocket over her heart, then pretended to be fixing her coat. “It’s time to go.” Pluto said.
“I know I’m ready.” Uranus said following Pluto out ready to be crowned Queen of Uranus.
