Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Watashi No Mono Itsumo ❯ Confrontation ( Chapter 3 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. It belongs to Takeuchi-sama. *~bows to Naoko Takeuchi shrine~* Also, I'm pretty sure some of the dialogue belongs to Kodansha.

 

A/N: Teno Tenno Tenoh Tennoh Ten'no Ten'nou…. I use Ten'nou. My coloring book from Japan, which I translated, thank you very much, uses Ten'nou. Don't like my spelling? Tough. The all mighty Japanese coloring book rules! Erm… yeah. I really enjoy reviews… you do realize the more reviews I get the faster these chapters come out? Reviews make me happy which makes me want to write….

 

Michiru was walking home from school when she felt the ocean crashing. She sighed and hurried to where she felt the trouble the strongest. She looked inside the building and her jaw dropped.

Haruka was being attacked, and was staring at the henshin stick.

"Don't! Don't touch it! Once you've touched it, you can never return to a normal life!" exclaimed Michiru, surprised by her own words and feelings.

“Neptune Planet Power! Make-Up!” Michiru shouted. She transformed then started fighting the monster, kicking and punching.

"Stop it! This was a human being until a little while ago! Are you okay with killing people?" asked Haruka.

"The Silence is approaching! If I don't do this, there will be more sacrifices!" said Sailor Neptune, not expecting Haruka to understand.

"So you don't choose the way?" asked Haruka confused.

"No, I don't choose the way,” said Sailor Neptune quietly. How could anyone believe that she'd choose such a path?

"Are you still-"

Sailor Neptune shoved Haruka out of the way protecting her from the monster.

"Look out!" shouted Haruka.

"Deep Submerge!" yelled Sailor Neptune. The monster changed back into a human as Sailor Neptune collapsed.

"The monster?" asked Sailor Neptune, barely staying focused.

"It has returned to human form. Don't worry,” said Haruka reassuringly.

"I almost killed it . . . No, I'm sure I'll kill it next time. It isn't easy . . . but I chose to become a soldier,” said Sailor Neptune, trying not to think of her parents.

"Then, why did you protect me? If you hurt your hands, you can't be a violinist!" asked Haruka in awe, touching Sailor Neptune's injured arms softly.

"I didn't snoop around just because you're a soldier. Before I knew that you were the one . . . I was watching you from nearby when you were racing for the first time. I always wanted to ride in your car along the coastline just once . . . You never asked any favors of anyone. You are always faithful to your feelings,” said Michiru honestly.

"I'm not faithful . . . I'm always running away . . ."

"I know more about you than you do, because I watch you all the time! I don't want you to take the same way as I took. Still, I was happy when I found out that you were the one . . . I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk about it . . . sorry . . ." said Sailor Neptune near tears. She was happy to be in Haruka's arms at the moment.

“I'll be a senshi with you,” said Haruka. She picked up the stick and looked at it.

Sailor Neptune watched the expressions on Haruka's face. She was sure the memories were coming back. She stood up slowly and de-transformed. She turned to face Haruka and noticed a blush. Michiru smiled coyly. She was oddly sure Haruka had watched her de-transform.

“We need to go somewhere to talk. Would my place work?” asked Michiru.

“Yeah, I'll drive,” said Haruka.

Michiru smiled and got in the passenger seat. They rode in silence.

“Come in, I haven't cleaned, so it might be a bit messy,” said Michiru.

Haruka looked around. “It's not messy. It you're always this clean, then I'd hate to live with you.”

“Don't joke,” said Michiru, gathering up the `mess' which consisted of her painting supplies.

“So, how much do you remember of the past?” asked Haruka offhandedly, trying not to blush.

“I'm assuming a lot, if not all of it. Why?” asked Michiru. She wondered if Haruka remembered their time together.

“Things are still a little fuzzy, maybe they will clear up eventually,” said Haruka.

“I hope so,” murmured Michiru. “Can I get you anything?”

“Tea would be nice actually,” said Haruka.

Michiru went to the kitchen then brought back tea for both of them.

“So, is there any training I should do?” asked Haruka.

“Yes, there are a lot of things that need to be done. First, I've been researching this school, Mugen Gakuen, it seems unusual. We should both enroll there in order to keep a closer watch. That means we'll need a new apartment. It would be more convenient if we could live together, that way we'll be able to contact each other more easily.”

“That works I guess,” said Haruka uneasily.

“Great. I'll make the necessary arrangements. Then we can train,” said Michiru.

She got on the phone, having already decided the perfect place. “This is Kaiou Michiru speaking. Yes, I'd like an apartment, but could I buy the entire apartment complex? Just add it to the rest of Kaiou's real estate. Thank you. Ja ne.”

Haruka stared at her wide-eyed. “So, are you paying for this?”

Michiru laughed. “Of course. I wouldn't expect you to pay out tons of money just to live with me.”

“That's good. I have money, but I like spending it on my cars,” said Haruka.

“I wish I knew how much you remembered,” murmured Michiru.

“So… you are the one that wanted to ride along the coastline in my car?” asked Haruka.

“Yes,” said Michiru quietly, staring into Haruka's eyes.

“Ano, why would you want to do something like that?” asked Haruka.

“Because I like you very much,” murmured Michiru quietly.

“Ne, you realize you could have any boy of your choosing?” asked Haruka.

“But I don't want any boy, or just any girl either. I like you,” said Michiru.

“You're very pretty, but we do have a mission now. And after seeing you fight today… I don't think we should get attached.”

“Of course,” said Michiru with a smile. “Well, we better gather our things. It'd be a good idea to hurry up and move.”

“All right. Ja ne,” said Haruka waving as she left.

Michiru locked the door and leaned against it. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. She slid down against the door and stared at the ceiling trying to blink back her tears. She should be happy just to be around Haruka. She let the crying spell pass then gather up her things, and called a cab.
