@tenkaishin | starter call.
“Hey so…” She gave what she was about to ask a quick thought, in search of an excuse, and….
“…usagi might of been wondering about how you’re so great at video games. And well… I guess I’d ask, in her place. Only because she kiiiinda can’t at the moment!” Though it wasn’t a LIE, she left out the part where she was probably even more curious than Usagi herself.
The question caught her off guard. Video games, it was just a SKILL of hers and she had never given it much thought. Sure, racing games were just second nature but others? ❝ Ah, I guess just good REFLEXES, ❞ came her reply with a shrug. As a SOLDIER, she was meant to have sharpened reflexes and the same came with her being a racer as well.
Well I should be here tomorrow now that some issues have been resolved. I’ll be here to do drafts and commissions so hmu. I also do personalized videos and video promos if you want something unique!
still here; sorting out some issues and major stress.

❝ Haruka … We have company. ❞
The sudden silence && shift of the night, was all Usagi needed. After so long of fighting, for the greater good, she’d come very aware. Enemies were always a possible outcome, just so happen she was with Haruka Which was a slight blessing.
Still her hand went to her broach, preparing for the coming fight && shifted closer to Haruka. As a fellow Sailor Senshi, teaming up was the most logical move && besides, their mission still remained in action. Especially when, they had all come so far, become stronger together. Licking her lips, she watched Haruka from the corner of her eye, waiting.
There was a shift in the wind, a WHISPER in the corners of her mind. Haruka had tried to shrug it off though ever alert. It wasn’t until Usagi had mentioned it that she became certain that it was a THREAT that lingered in the shadows. Preying, waiting. Waiting for what, they couldn’t be sure. Still, she felt her form STIFFEN and muscles tighten, preparing themselves for a fight with the unknown.
❝ Question is: are they after just us or after Sailor Moon? ❞ The words were a WHISPER, meant only for Usagi’s ears. There was always a risk transforming in front of the enemy; if they were to escape then their identities would be revealed which was a far greater threat. Did the threat know who they were or mere victims of OPPORTUNITY? ❝ I can hold them off and you get somewhere safe to transform. Don’t be stupid and do it right out in the open. ❞

[ @tenkaishin | continued from x ]
The battle had relied more on their physical strength than their abilities, but they’d rose up and emerged triumphant. While she was sure nothing was broken or severely out of place, Sailor Venus’s entire body ached as the adrenaline rush wore off.
Once back on her feet, Venus hurried to her companion’s side, kneeling down in front of Sailor Uranus as she looked over the taller soldier’s face. Before she could ask if Uranus was okay, Venus noted the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Without thinking, the solider reached a white glove out to wipe the blood away, glad to see it wasn’t continuing to bleed. When Uranus looked away dismissively, Venus couldn’t help the smile that curled on her lips as she stood up straight.
“No, but suffering alongside someone is better than suffering alone,” she replied as she reached a hand out, offering it to Uranus to help the soldier to her feet.
White glove stained CRIMSON with her own blood, the smear so prominent that it momentarily drew Uranus’s gaze. Was there some irony, some hidden metaphor in it? The inner the more PURE senshi with how they valued each life and the outer the darkness, ready for casualties if it helped aid the greater good. No, Uranus had to shove that thought away back into the recesses of her mind once more and focus instead on the various cuts and bruises across her skin that would have to be tended to. Later, of course.
❝ And what if that suffering only DRAGS someone else down or slows down a mission? ❞ came the counter from the older senshi. But, slowly, hardened eyes softened and a bitter chuckle left her lips. Her own gloved hand took hold of the other, allowing Venus to aid her to her feet. The movement caused an ACHE in her very bones, muscles crying out in protest.
But they had SUCCEEDED this time despite the pain. Uranus had to remember that at least: they had won for now. ❝ But——— thanks, I guess. ❞

Why has the air been so thick around them? This period of calmness should be the time where they are at their happiest. No growing darkness. No impending doom. No long stretches away from home to battle.
Instead these are the times that thoughts creep in. Doubt starts to settle. Even when Hotaru was being raised in their care it was another mission as a Senshi. Another part of her sworn duty. Troubling how things work easiest when there are much more pressing matters. Had it always been this way between them? Michiru desperately hoped not.
How can you be sure?
“… –”She caught herself, almost instinctually, ready to go for her words of dissuasion. Ready to coo in her lover’s ear. Ready to quell these thoughts for another day. Thinking these lingering questions would dissipate in the morning with a warm breakfast.
Was she completely sure?
The young woman attempted to search her memories of her long forgotten Kingdom. Was there a Prince? Unlikely, but another Princess? Maybe a Lord or Lady–even some common citizen that kickstarted another taboo affair? Or had she and the Moon Kingdom passed before she ever got the chance to meet her betrothed? Had the Princess of Uranus experienced any of these things? Was her destined reborn somewhere on this planet?
“…Haruka, you are my everything. Truly. Truly, I…want every piece of happiness for you,” for some reason her distant mask was impossible to keep together, “I don’t want there to be anyone else.” It wouldn’t be fair–not with the years they’ve spent as one.
Not every memory could be recalled of their past lives and they knew it.They knew their duties and fulfilled them without question. Most memories she had of those days were ones of BATTLE, of a sword gripped tight between lithe fingers. Those same fingers were now empty and found themselves entangling near white-blonde locks between them in FRUSTRATION. She was a soldier, through and through, and moments of supposed peace could tear at her. Who she was and who she was MEANT to be, a fracturing soul.
No matter how many times they could PREACH to the soldiers to accept their duties, it was still a burden on them as well. How many times had Haruka questioned it, how many times had GUILT stifled her throat and crushed her?
Still, it was the OCEAN that always seemed to pull her back with its seafoam hair and soothing words. A melody more beautiful than any violin if Haruka was to be asked.
And that same melody played now though perhaps the darkness was too heavy for the light to pierce through at that moment. But Haruka couldn’t deny the truth to them. ❝ I can’t see myself HAPPY with someone else. How many others would touch such BLOOD STAINED hands? And I’m not sure there’s another woman who can tame the ocean. ❞ Though the weight had not been fully lifted from her shoulders, Haruka managed a hint of a smile, a twitch of bare lips before a scoff.
❝ Forgive me. I’ve been having dreams again and I suppose I worry too much. Or maybe I’m afraid that someone else will come and scoop you up one day. I’m sure plenty would want to. ❞
Something of a joke, as if that might EASE the tension she had brought on with her own pondering. She was a fighter, sometimes offering guidance to the inner senshi as an older sister might, but discussing her own emotions and thoughts? Well that was one battle not so easily CONQUERED even by the beautiful Neptune.

Continued from here
The maiden’s curled fingers lightly flinched. Should have she expected a different response? To see Haruka struggle in silence–to struggle alone–was far more painful.
Michiru wanted to hold her hand, but feared it would be mistaken for her taking her lover’s inner turmoil too lightly. To be honest, what could she say? That destiny is not a factor? Their very existence revolved around destiny. The kickstart of their rebirth was because of destiny. The future Neo-Kingdom is built on destiny.
Destiny.
Mentions of a better soulmate also brought back thoughts in her parents’ home. There wasn’t outright rejection, but dejected disappointment…as if somewhere along the way, they failed as caregivers. Should she have let her parents continue the stream of potential suitors? Perhaps she wouldn’t have caused such emotional pain within those she loved most.
She was already fully aware of her own selfishness in her actions. She never had to start a relationship with Haruka to do their missions from the beginning. She could’ve kept their partnership civil–even friendly. Michiru didn’t want that. She wanted more. She wanted to grasp the wind and hold on tightly. An absurd thought when actually pieced together.
The shorter woman noticed herself being the quiet one. Sad to say, it has been a trend recently.
“…who could be a better soulmate than someone who has been with me through my worst? Who fights along side me?…”
She was being selfish again. A shaken sigh escaped her lips, her fingers lightly fidgeting with one of her rings.
“…I can’t…give you those answers, Haruka,” her gaze could only trace a single tile on the floor.
Fate, destiny, whatever it was called, it ruled their whole lives. NORMALCY was but a pipe dream for them, something to forever slip through their fingers like sand or perhaps air. Yet Haruka could forever have dreams of such a life: her with her racing and the roaring of a crowd, the smell of gas from the cars and Michiru with her music and paintings lining gallery walls. But the truth was always there, a darkness taking over dreams and encroaching on the only moment of PEACE given to them.
Haruka found herself stretching out on the couch rather than sitting. She could feel the tension, PRESSING DOWN on her shoulders as weariness set in. The senshi would rather fight any of their enemies a thousand times than discuss or even THINK of the possibility that they were not meant to be, that that harsh thumping in her chest, the way the world could become still with just a touch, that all of it was a FALSITY.
Once upon a time, they were alone. Separated by one thousand, six hundred and thirty three kilometers. Fighting to protect the kingdom of the Silver Millennium with their thoughts on those of the Queen and Princess rather than each other. What if, with their reincarnations after the glaive fell, it was to remain the same?
So far away; ALONE.
Cerulean eyes were focused on the ceiling above rather than Michiru. She couldn’t face her, not during this conversation. Strong, strong Haruka, unable to meet her gaze.
❝ How can you be sure? I mean COMPLETELY sure? Or are you just content riding by my side along the coastline? ❞ It was worry that such things stemmed from; worry that there was SOMEONE ELSE with the capability to make Michiru happier and that, perhaps, Haruka was holding her back from that. But there was also that DREAD that she’d return to that lonely state before Michiru came into her life. How she constantly ran, ran from everything. From herself, her emotions, her DESTINY.
Worry at its best, paranoia at its worse. There was no fear that someone might STEAL Michiru away but simply that there were better ones out there. ❝ The others, some of them are perfectly happy with normal humans. I guess I’m just worried for the future. We know our duties, know what will happen to this world, but what about everything else? ❞

The name drew her attention, glancing over to see the golden haired woman. Ah, a familiar face. Having fallen back into her dreams of RACING, it had been some time since the senshi had been thrown together. Had Minako tracked her down or was it FATE crashing together once more. Either way, the surprise on her face soon dissipated into that faint smile that was Haruka’s practical trademark.
❝ Yeah, been a while. Guess that happens when outside forces aren’t constantly attacking us, huh? ❞ A small joke as she turned fully to face her, ❝ So what prompted you to hunt me down? ❞
