I'll live for you
Disclaimer: I do not own anything, but the idea. Which came from a dream and that dream was somewhat inspired by real events.
Author's note: Thank you everyone for the last chapter's reviews! This seem to be my longest chapter for this story. It's funny, on the plan I thought it would be short.
Pairing: Haruka/Michiru
Rating: 13, just to be safe
Warning: Shoujo-ai (that's girlxgirl), possible death (havent yet decide). Other than that, nothing that I can think of right now.
Chapter 3: Of ambulance, flowers and promise.
She heard something behind her and turned around. A youma was in front of her, but she didn't react. With Michiru gone, why would she live? Hotaru flashed through her mind, but she quickly dismiss it, Setsuna would take care of her.
She saw the monster raised his sharp knife-alike arm at her and she didn't move. She felt it pierce through her. She didn't feel her tears, nor did she feel the pain. She only heard a scream, probably hers.
Haruka woke up with a silent scream. She felt the sweat on her body and she couldn't stop shaking. She looked around and saw Michiru sleeping beside her. Slowly she reach for her and surprisingly her hand didn't go through her.
“But...” she mutter
She was confused. One moment ago, Michiru was dead the next she was alive. That's when her brain realized that Michiru dead was probably a dream. A horrible nightmare.
She shook her head to get ride of the images and looked at the time. 7:00. It was a bit too earlier for her, but after such a dream, she doubt she could sleep again. She got up and head toward the shower, at this time there wasn't much to do but take a shower. Plus, she was all sweaty and she still had some of yesterday's activities on her.
The room was barely lit, but the person inside could see enough. He was trying to find a way for get her. Letters and phone call seem to do nothing. Well, so far it had done nothing. But what could be done?
That's when a strange light appear in front of him. Looking up in it, he was a figure. He could felt the dark energy coming from this person, maybe that was the answer to his problem.
The person in the light, knowing the guy's though, smirk.
“Yes, I can be the solution to your problem.”
“How?”
“I can give you a powder, a type of poison, that could be used to get rid of them.”
“For what price?”
“That you help me get rid of one of the Senshi”
“The warriors that protected this city?”
“Yes, without one, they wont be able to stop me”
“Which one?”
“The long blue hair one. She goes by Michiru in real life”
That's when it became clear for him that he would help this person.
“I will help you”
The figure then proceed to give him the powder. He looked at it, then thought of a way to give it to Michiru. That's when he thought of something.
The dream was still on her mind, but she tried to not analyze it too much. That was a bit more difficult since she was alone, but non less she mad her way through the store, grabbed what she had to grab. She even found something for Hotaru, a fancy looking lamp. To some it wasn't much, but for Hotaru it would be very special.
It took her about two hours to get everything, she was a on her way to her car when she was pushed to the ground by something big. Once on the floor, she looked behind her to see an ugly youma standing there. Now, unlike in her dream, Michiru was still alive so she quickly got her henshin out and transformed.
She got up and called the other while dodging punches, she quickly gave some of her own but it seem it didn't do anything to the youma. When she got a minute to herself, she quickly readied her attack and sent it toward the youma. Unfortunately, the youma dodge it. Cursing a little, she tried again. It still failed.
She was starting to wonder were was the others, when they showed up. Since the youma was concentrating on her only, it gave the chance for Mars' Flame Snipper to hit it in the back. The youma stumbled a little but didn't fall. At this moment she send her own World Shaking, hit the youma in the chest making it fall on it's back. But it quickly got up and send a dark ball toward her, she barely dodge it while Jupiter got her attack to it the youma. That still didn't brought down enough for Sailor Moon to finish it off.
At this time, she looked around for Neptune, but didn't see her. She knew she had called her but for some reasons she didn't show up. That got her worried. It's then that the youma charge at her and she didn't have enough time to dodge it. She got ram into a car, it hurt, but it gave her to opportunity to blast the freaking youma in the chest. Quickly summoning her attack, she send the youma fly. This time it didn't get up when it hit the floor and Sailor Moon quickly did her thing and finished it off.
There was a knock on the door and Michiru made her way to the door to open it, thinking it was probably Haruka with her hands full. She opened the door but didn't find Haruka. She only found a bouquet of roses. She picked it up, thinking it was from Haruka and made her way to the kitchen while smelling the flowers.
She put the bouquet down and looked at the card. It didn't say from who it was but it was for her, she pick it up and opened it Inside it said “She is mine”. The message confused her. Who was theirs? Hotaru? Setsuna? Haruka? Logically, why would it be about Hotaru or Setsuna and sent to her. She didn't really cared about who Hotaru and Setsuna dated, well that wasn't true, she cared, but it wouldn't affect her that much. So it had to be about Haruka.
Her thought couldn't go farther as she started to feel dizzy, she tried to hold onto the table but it was useless, she fell on the floor. The only thing she saw before losing preconscious was Hotaru in the doorway.
Hotaru entered the house and made her way to the kitchen. She was back from her friend's house and couldn't wait to see Michiru-mama, Setsuna-mama and Haruka-papa. She had made cookies the night before and couldn't wait to share them with her family. But as she got to the kitchen, she heard a tud. Quickly making her way to the kitchen, she was her mama lying on the floor. She rushed to Michiru to feel her pulse, she got one but it was very weak. She got up and ran to the phone to call the ambulance. She gave them their address and wait.
It took about thirty minutes for them to there. While they were trying to diagnose Michiru, Michiru stopped breathing. They quickly got her to breath again, and set her up for a trip to the hospital. During that time, Michiru never opened her eyes.
Hotaru got to ride in the ambulance, as it was her only way to get there. Once there, she called Haruka's cell phone to tell her where she was.
They all detransformed and Haruka picked up her stuff. She ask the other if they had seen Hotaru and Michiru, but no one knew where they were. She thought it was strange, but decide to not dwell on it too much. Setsuna asked her if she could get a ride, Haruka said sure. They said their goodbyes to the other and made their way to her car. It's then that her phone ringed. She picked up.
“Hello”
“Haruka-papa?”
Haruka realized it was Hotaru and it sounded like she was crying. She frowned a little and Setsuna gave her a strange look, probably thinking it was that strange person again.
“What's wrong Hotaru?”
“I'm in the hospital...”
“What happened?”
Haruka was starting to panic a little. Setsuna noticed it too
“It's Michiru-mama...”
It felt like her heart at stop beating, she didn't hear the rest of what Hotaru was saying. She drop her bags and the phone. Setsuna quickly pick it up and said in a harsh voice
“Who is this?”
“It's Hotaru...”
Her voice soften when she realized her daughter didn't sound to good.
“What's wrong, it sound like you are crying”
“It's Michiru-mama, she's in the hospital”
That explained Haruka's strange behavior a second ago.
“Are you there too, dear?”
“Yes”
“Stay there. We'll be there shortly.”
“Ok, bye”
“Bye”
She hanged up the phone, and shook Haruka a little.
“Snap out of it, Haruka, we have to go”
Haruka looked at her with a pale face.
“Yes”
Setsuna picked up the bags, put them in the car and took the keys from Haruka. There was no way she would let her drive in this state.
As they arrive to Michiru's room, Hotaru ran to them. Setsuna took her in her arms while Haruka when to find a doctor to tell her what wrong.
Haruka quickly found one and asked about Michiru. At first the doctor refuse to give any information to someone who wasn't part of the family, but when Haruka told him she was Michiru's wife, he compel to tell her everything they knew.
“The condition with Miss Kaiou is that she's in coma...”
The doctor never got to finish his sentence.
“What? Why?”
“We do not know the reasons of this coma.”
“How come you do not know? Is there anything else?”
Haruka was starting to get agitate. This was too close to her dreams.
“We took blood for blood test but the results aren't in yet. And yes. Her life sign are not good. We do not know if she'll make it. If she passed the night, her chances of survival will be a bit higher”
The doctor notice that Haruka's face had gone paler. It seemed like she would faint any second, he took her to a chair and told her to sit down. In a small voice she ask him if she could see Michiru, he told her yes, but for too long. She got up and made her entered the room.
Michiru was lying on the bed, with tube and wire everywhere. The beeping of the machine was a bit reassuring yet still so scary. Haruka slowly sat down beside the bed and took Michiru's hand in her own. She kissed it and closed her eyes tight. Not wanting to cry.
There was a small knock on the good and Haruka looked up. It was the rest of the senshi, looking worried. They slowly made their way inside. Usagi was carrying a bouquet of flowers that she put down on the table. She made her way to Haruka and gave her a hug. Haruka knew that she would have friends to make it through this.
As for Rei, she had felt an evil present in the room. She looked around, but couldn't find anything.
As for Setsuna, she walked to the kitchen. There she found the bouquet of roses, only it was dead. She also felt something evil coming from it. She plunged her nose and walked closer. She saw the card and read it. Instantly she knew it had something to do with the message and letters Haruka had been getting. She mumble to herself
“Those this person sent something to Michiru to get her out of the way?”
She decide to put some of the flower in a ziplock bag to preserve it and bring it to the hospital. She threw the rest of the flowers. She cleaned the table, set everything in order then left the kitchen. She also made her way to her room to get some sleep. Unfortunately, she couldn't get much. All she was thinking about was Michiru and their future. What would happened if she doesn't make it through? Haruka wouldn't take it well, as for her and Hotaru, they would get over it after a long time. But the same couldn't be say for Haruka. She signed and closed her eyes. Sleep would be good, they had a lot of things to do in the morning.
Haruka had stayed with Michiru while the other left. Setsuna took Hotaru with her. It's then that she let her tears falls. While holding unto Michiru's hand, she thought of what could've happened. She had this feeling that it had something to do with the letters she had been getting. Then she made a promise to Michiru. She will find out what happened. Even if it's the last thing she does.
He left his hiding place when everyone was gone. It seem everything had worked. Michiru would be out of the way soon and she would be for him!
Once inside, she opened the letter and like she knew, it was something strange, though this time it was too revealing. The message said “Now, you're free”. That linked what happened to Michiru to the strange letter she had been getting. That made Haruka mad, in her frustration she punched the nears wall.
Upon hearing the sound it made, Setsuna walked to the entrance. There she found Haruka leaning against the wall. Her shoulder slump and shaking a little. Beside her, there was a hole in the wall. Setsuna shook her hand and walked to Haruka, she put a hand on her shoulder and told her that everything would be ok. Haruka shook her head and said that Michiru's condition had gotten worse. Setsuna slightly squeezed Haruka's shoulder then left her to her thoughts.
Haruka walked to the couch and fell on it. She was feeling useless and the nagging feeling of Michiru dying wouldn't leave her alone.
AN: I don't know when the fourth chapter will be out. I haven't got to plan it all yet. But maybe, like with this one, I can plan and write in a night.
Once again, I don't have a beta reader, so if there's huge mistake (or any, really) , just let me know and I'll change them. Thank you
I hope everyone liked this one! The next one will hopefully be out soon!
