‘thoughts’

Genaisa sighed softly as she sat at the blood bank registration table and looked at her watch again. She was supposed to be getting off of her volunteer work soon so she could meet up with Haruka and Michiru for a late lunch. She smiled softly as she thought about her two best friends. After finding each other at the mansion ball, they had become inseparable. That night they had stayed up until three in the morning, talking and catching up on everything. Michiru had retired first, claiming that she would be having some classes in the morning and had left the other two alone. They had talked some more, but then had relaxed into comfortable silence. Haruka had fallen asleep with her head on Genaisa’s lap and Genaisa had been tempted to stay up and just watch her silently, her feelings from the past coming to the fore once again.

‘I still love her so much. It’s like nothing has changed except the times,’ Genaisa thought fondly, then snapped out of her daydream as Minako came over and offered to give blood. Genaisa felt her eye almost twitching as she watched Minako go to the side, then shivered as she felt the sense of the Daimons’ attention. ‘Oh dear gods, not her….’ she thought sadly and looked down.

She was surprised though as her world went dark and a familiar smell tickled her senses. She grinned as a soft voice spoke next to her ear, “Done yet, fuurin?”

Genaisa brought her hands up and their fingers laced as she took their hands from her eyes and she smiled up at her teaser. “Iie…still working. Though I think I can go soon, boufuu. Have a good day?” she asked cutely as Haruka chuckled softly and sat down next to her on the table. Michiru came over as well, wrapping her arms around Genaisa and hugging her in greeting.

“Hai, I guess…though we had a strange conversation with Minako,” Haruka commented with a grin as she shrugged.

Genaisa frowned lightly as she gazed up at her friend. “I would watch her. The Daimons’ focus has shifted to her,” she murmured softly, eyes sad as the other two focused intently on her. She looked down. “Many things will be revealed this day….many things,” she whispered softly as her hand came up to her chest. She smiled as Michiru smoothed out her fist and laced their fingers together soothingly, smiling.

“Chiba-kun!! See you later!!” Genaisa’s boss called out from the set-up section and Genaisa smiled brightly.

“Hai!! Arigato!” she called out as she jumped up, grinning as her friends laughed lightly. “Come ON! I’m starving!” she whined as she tugged on their hands and they went off. She stopped suddenly as she shivered again and the other two knew in a heartbeat what was happening. They all watched grimly as Minako was hit by a blast and her crystal appeared. Genaisa moved swiftly as Minako ran off with her crystal, followed silently by the other two. She transformed as she ran after Minako just ahead of Usagi and Eudial, then hid in the shadows, watching intently. She sighed softly in relief that Minako wasn’t one of the three, but then watched as Usagi tried to protect her friend.

She cocked an eyebrow in surprise as Usagi transformed before them all, noting that her two friends had followed in as well. ‘Oh my…this will be interesting,’ she thought, then frowned as Sailor Moon was blocked. She readied a rose as Eudial moved towards Minako, then smirked as one of the toys went flying, smacking Eudial away. She darted out as her best friends transformed, then smirked at Neptune as she dashed over while Uranus attacked.

“Is it?” Neptune whispered softly as she held the crystal carefully.

“Iie. It isn’t one of the ones we need,” Kinroze whispered softly back, smirking as Sailor Moon pleaded with them to not damage the crystal. “Calm yourself, Sailor Moon…she is safe,” she said soothingly as Neptune put the crystal back.

“Hontou ni?! Arigato!” Sailor Moon cried happily then turned towards Eudial and attacked. But, instead of hitting Eudial, the blast was directed at the Daimon, destroying it. Eudial tried to use her attack again, only to be thwarted by Venus as she revived.

Satisfied that it was over, Kinroze, Uranus, and Neptune started out. But Sailor Moon stopped them. “Onegai! Matte! Haruka-san! Michiru-san! Kinroze-san!” she called out, stopping them. “Doushite….doushite?! Why are you trying to get the Talismans?!” she pleaded softly, ignoring her stunned friends.

“That’s none of your concern, Sailor Moon,” Uranus replied coldly over her shoulder before looking ahead.

“Demo…” Sailor Moon whimpered softly as she reached for them.

“Urusai!” Uranus snapped out before they started walking again.

Kinroze looked at them sadly, her face shadowed. “Our paths….are now separate, Sailor Senshi. Sayonara,” she said softly before joining the other two older Senshi and walking off, leaving the saddened Inner Senshi watching them helplessly.

The three stood by the docks, watching the sun set grimly. “Usagi-san transformed in front of us. Things are going to be harder now,” Haruka stated softly, grimly.

“Hai…demo we changed as well. Perhaps we are on the same mission after all,” Michiru said softly as the wind blew their hair.

They both blinked as gentle fingers laced with their own. Genaisa leaned in, smiling slightly. “All will work out…we still need them. Demo…we have each other, ne?” she reminded as she smiled at them. They nodded as well, smiling softly in agreement. They looked out over the sea, lost in their thoughts and each other as they tried to continue on.

*~~**~~*

A few days later revealed that the time was drawing near when all would be found and lost. Michiru found herself sitting in the poolroom after swimming with Genaisa, lost within her world of the sea as her friend dove from the diving board. Her dream was suddenly interrupted as Haruka smiled down at her. She smiled softly up at her best friend, feeling her heart lighten slightly, then looked over as they heard a soft sound. They both watched as Genaisa dove gracefully, twisting in the air before melting with the water.

Haruka sighed softly in appreciation, her face gentle with love as she watched for their friend to resurface. “When will you speak to her of your love, Haruka-chan?” Michiru’s soft query brought the blonde back from her contemplation and she turned towards her teal haired friend.

“Iie…most likely never. I wouldn’t want to lose her,” Haruka replied softly as she watched Genaisa surface and smile sweetly at them before swimming lazily over. “Anyways, it wouldn’t matter. I have a feeling that things will be changing after today. The silence draws near…” she whispered softly. She saddened as she saw Genaisa frown and look away as she heard what was said, saddened by her helplessness.

Genaisa waved her hand in the water, tears rolling down her cheeks. ‘Why can’t I tell them? Their time draws near…demo I don’t want it to happen! I don’t want to lose them!’ she wailed inside, shivering as she curled up slightly in the warm water. She started as she felt a gentle caress on her cheek and looked up into Haruka’s gentle eyes. She felt more tears come to her eyes and looked away, sniffling.

“Come on out, fuurin. You’ll catch a cold…or turn into a prune,” Haruka urged teasingly as she brushed her hand tenderly across the wet locks. “Come on…I don’t want you to get sick,” she pleaded tenderly as Genaisa looked up with tears streaking her face. Haruka smiled gently again and held her hand out. She helped Genaisa out, then gently wrapped a warm towel around her. She hugged Genaisa to her lovingly. “It’ll all work out…we’ll always be together…” she whispered softly as Genaisa sobbed slightly and buried her face into Haruka’s chest.

Michiru watched them silently, her face gentle with a loving smile. ‘They both love each other so much, yet neither will say anything. The past will repeat, but hopefully…not as tragically,’ she thought sadly, smiling up at Genaisa as the two came over.

“I’m going to go take a shower. Lunch later?” Genaisa asked softly as she wiped her face. She smiled as Haruka helped her and leaned into her friend as she shivered.

“Hai! Sounds like a plan! Later then?” Michiru asked cheerfully and smiled as Genaisa nodded and smiled back, then left after placing a loving hand in farewell on both of their shoulders. Michiru smirked as she watched Haruka watching Genaisa leave. “Oh you are so stubborn,” Michiru declared in exasperation, then giggled as Haruka blinked at her in confusion. “Let’s go…I need a hot shower too,” the teal haired girl said cheerfully as she headed out. Haruka chuckled softly as she followed her best friend out and they headed back up to their apartment.

The hour passed slowly as Haruka waited for Michiru to get done while gazing out at the rainy city. She didn’t even move as the phone rang, then turned her head slowly as Eudial’s annoying voice came over the line. She looked back outside as the phone rang again after shutting off the message and Eudial continued her rant. She glanced over as Michiru came in and glanced at the fax that came through, face solemn and distressed. “Looks like Eudial is onto something.”

“Hai. But now…it doesn’t matter anymore. I’ll do whatever I can to get my hands on the Talismans,” Haruka stated grimly as Michiru walked over. The blonde Senshi stared at her hands sadly, filled with torment at what had been done for the mission. She blinked as Michiru laced their fingers together and tenderly played with them as she sat down next to her best friend. “So…what’s this?” Haruka asked softly, slightly confused.

“Your hands are still so lovely to me. Daijoubou, Haruka…we both still love you,” Michiru declared gently as she smiled at Haruka. Haruka smiled back after swallowing hard then looked down. Michiru got up slowly. “I will get changed. Call Usagi and then we should tell Genaisa,” she ordered gently.

“I don’t know if I want to risk Genaisa,” Haruka whispered painfully, memories of the final battle making her shudder with agony.

“She won’t let it be any other way. We’re a team,” Michiru reminded her friend with a loving smile before going to her room. Haruka watched her leave thoughtfully, then got up to call Usagi. She was one person they didn’t want interfering.

*~~**~~*

Genaisa hummed softly as she fixed up the tea and soup. It was a rainy day; so warm food and drink were going to be needed. Plus, none of them could shake the cold chill that was coming over them…a chill of impending doom. ‘Why do I sense that I may lose them today…’ she wondered worriedly, then started as the doorbell rang. She peeked out as Haruka and Michiru came in. “Almost ready! Have a…seat…” She trailed off as she saw their solemn faces and felt her heart freeze. She turned off the stove and went into the room, facing them.

“Eudial called. She’s found two of the holders,” Haruka explained softly, eyes unreadable as she gazed at Genaisa. Genaisa paled and looked away, eyes wide with horror. “She wants us to meet her at the cathedral docks. Alone,” the blonde continued.

“We know this is hard, Genaisa….demo…” Michiru trailed off as Genaisa looked up, face determined.

“I’m coming,” Genaisa stated firmly. She held up a hand as Haruka opened her mouth to protest. “I will not let you both go into such danger alone. You are my best friends…my only family. You’re all I’ve got. We either live together…or die together,” she added firmly, tears in her eyes.

Haruka and Michiru stared at her, stunned. Then, silently, they all moved together and held each other tightly, firming their resolve. “Together no matter what,” Haruka whispered resolutely as the other two nodded resolutely into each other. “All right…let’s go. We haven’t any time,” Haruka said decisively as she leaned back and wiped their faces of the tears. She smiled as they did the same for her, then they all headed for the aquarium…and their last battle.

*~~**~~*

Uranus, Neptune, and Kinroze stared grimly at the cathedral before them as the wind blew around them. After having taken Sailor Moon’s power from Usagi, they had flown over to the docks. Now, they stood before what would be their greatest fight yet.

“No matter what happens….one of us needs to keep going,” Neptune stated softly, firmly and the other two nodded. They held hands briefly, gaining strength from the other before stepping resolutely into the cathedral.

They looked around warily as they walked in, then found that they had to fight for their lives against stone panels that shot out. Eudial’s voice laughed at them from all around as they fought.

“Golden Petal Blast!”

“World…Shaking!”

“Deep…Submerge!”

Panting, the three trembled from the adrenaline rush. Uranus didn’t even hear a final panel swoop down at her, then shouted as she was pushed out of the way by Neptune. “Neptune!!” both Uranus and Kinroze’s voices echoed out as they watched their friend crash into the wall, then disappear. Running frantically to the panel that had taken their partner, they screamed for Neptune.

Eudial laughed evilly around them as music echoed around the cathedral. “I have one of the Talisman holders, Kinroze…Uranus. Come and save her if you can.”

“Nani?! Neptune isn’t one of the Talisman holders!!” Uranus shouted in horror, then stared over at Kinroze. Kinroze looked at her, tears in her eyes, before running off towards the source of music. Uranus felt a cold wave wash over her. ‘Neptune…is? Then who is the other?’ she wondered in shock as she ran after her best friend.

They came into a huge chamber with a bridge in the middle. They both stopped, horrified as they saw Neptune tied up and unconscious. “NEPTUNE!!” they both screamed as they ran out towards the bridge. A flash of light was all the warning they had before arrows shot out, hitting them both and sending them screaming in pain to the floor. Uranus skidded a bit, while Kinroze fell just before her.

Panting in agony, they both trembled in shock and pain, trying to understand what had happened. Eudial laughed as she got up. “Bakas! Only I can cross this bridge without getting shot,” she said derisively as she walked slowly towards them. She smirked as Kinroze struggled to her feet, sword out protectively as she protected her best friend. “Do you think to defend the other Talisman holder?” she sneered out as she stopped.

“I won’t…let you….hurt them….” Kinroze panted out harshly, eyes narrow with anger and pain as she faced Eudial.

“Yamete Kinroze!” Uranus protested in fear as she watched her friend.

Kinroze smiled down at her friend over her shoulder. “Iie, Uranus…I won’t abandon you…even to your destiny I am there,” she whispered softly, her eyes soft with love. She faced Eudial again, eyes hard. “I won’t let you have their crystals!” she shouted, then ran out. She screamed in agony as she was shot and fell to her knees hard. She heard Uranus scream her name, trying to get her to stop, but she didn’t. She got up again, facing the smirking Eudial and tried to attack again while clutching her side. She was hit again and she fell hard once more to her knees.

She struggled to get up as Eudial sauntered over, smirking. “Baka. I remember you…and you will pay for betraying us,” she sneered, then took the sword easily from Kinroze. As Uranus watched in horror along with the now awake Neptune, Eudial stabbed Kinroze in the chest.

Kinroze grunted, eyes wide with shock as Uranus screamed her name. Slowly, the Senshi fell backwards, sliding off of her own sword to collapse onto the bridge. Her blood slowly pooled out as Eudial laughed evilly and stepped over her after dropping the bloody sword, heading for Uranus. Kinroze couldn’t move as she felt her life flow out, but her mouth opened slightly as she locked eyes with Uranus. She smiled lovingly before her eyes closed and she grew limp.

“GENAISA!!!” Uranus’ scream echoed around the cathedral as she stared at her friend’s body. She glared up at Eudial as the red head came forward, then both stopped as a soft sob was heard from Neptune as she pulled free. “Iya, Neptune!! Don’t come!!” Uranus cried out as she reached out towards her friend.

“I won’t let her have you, Uranus…” Neptune whimpered out, then screamed as she was shot. She struggled to get across as Eudial watched, smirking. That smirk vanished as the arrows stopped, out of ammunition. She cried out as she brought her gun up, then blasted Neptune, who screamed in pain before falling.

Uranus watched blankly, filled with horror, as Neptune slowly fell to land next to Kinroze. Her heart crystal shimmered, then transformed into a mirror with the symbol of Neptune on it. Uranus choked down on a sob as she saw her best friends, wondering if this was the end of everything. She didn’t move as she stared up at Eudial, filled with hopelessness as she waited for the final blast.

But they were stopped as Usagi ran in and hit Eudial off of the bridge. Uranus watched numbly as Usagi tried to urge the Talisman back into Neptune. “Leave it…koneko. It’s what we wanted,” she finally said flatly before crawling over to Kinroze. Usagi watched her with tears in her eyes as the blonde gently shifted Kinroze’s head to her lap. She brushed her fingers over the pale cheek lovingly, tears rolling slowly down her face. “It isn’t fair, fuurin…Michiru…you’re both in your world without me again,” Uranus whispered softly before hugging Genaisa’s head to her chest. She pressed a loving kiss to the raven head before setting it back down tenderly. She reached over then for the gun and pointed it at her chest.

“Yamete!! Onegai yamete Uranus!!” Usagi pleaded as she latched onto Uranus’ arm, trying to stop her.

“Urusai!! There is a talisman in my own heart! We need them to defeat the silence!” Uranus snapped out angrily as she fought against Usagi.

“Iya!! I can do it without them!” Usagi cried desperately and Uranus stopped, gazing at her sadly. “I can do it…I can save this world without them,” Usagi whispered softly, surely.

Uranus smiled slightly, her face softening. “It’s funny, but when you say that I almost believe you. You always had a good heart, Usagi," she said gently, then shoved the other blonde off. She sighed and smiled again at Usagi after tossing her the locket. “Find the other Talisman, Sailor Moon,” she stated gently, then put the gun to her chest.

“YADA!! URANUS!!!”

Usagi’s scream echoed around the room just as a blast was heard. The other Inner Senshi ran in, horrified at the scene before them. Usagi sobbed as she knelt by the three fallen Senshi, two glimmering Talismans glittering in the pooling blood. “Haruka-chan….Michiru-chan….Kinroze-san…” Usagi sobbed out, wailing for them.

Uranus gazed into Kinroze’s face, smiling softly as she saw the gentle blue eyes open. Slowly, their fingers came together, lacing together before their eyes closed again. Together….forever.
