The rain beat down like hornets against the skin of the running figure, who stumbling following the sopping sidewalk. She knew that she was headed to the one place that could either be a safe haven for her or an personal hell, depending on how they reacted toward her. Pausing to catch her breath beneath a street light, the petite figure winched as the torrents of sharp rain fall that beat against the deep blackish bruises that painted her frame beneath her thin, black cotton jacket.
Reaching into her pocket the girl produced a crumpled piece of paper, the rain causing the gelled ink to run down the white parchment, staining the blank surfaces under the numbers 280, the house number to where she was headed.
However the girl's thoughts prevented her from moving, despite the fact that she was so very close to the place that she was seeking as sanctuary.
Would she accept me? The base-born daughter that her father had refused to even see born?
That thought alone was enough to dishearten her, where would she go if this source refused to help her?
Glancing around the dark area she found the number that she was looking for and began to stumble along the concrete path toward the large three story white house that was surrounded all around by a gated metal fence and bricked flower beds.
As she walked toward the house, her clammy fingers stumbling to undo the latch of the black, cold, rain slicked metal. Her heart pounding in her ears as she slid the gate open, the thing gritting against the concrete in a eerie creak as it was forced to swing back. As she walked toward the house her steps faltered as she attempted to walk up the steps, ending with her collapsing to her knees, the sweet scents of the flowers along side her giving her a peaceful filling despite her pain.
What if she doesn't even want to get to know me?
What if she takes out father's antics on me?
What if she thinks I'm a disgrace to her family's name?
Her dark thoughts reemerged; taunting, teasing and laughing as she tried to force herself up from the wet concrete. She was so preoccupied by her thinking that she didn't notice the door had opened and that a tall blonde figure loomed over her.
"I knew I heard something out here." a silky yet gruff tone stated, causing the dark clothed figure to glance up into teal eyes that were so like her very own.
"I...I am Tsuki...T...Tenoh." The girl stammered, her tongue faltering to produce the sounds of the name she hardly used.
"Wait...Did you say Tenoh? As in Daichi Tenoh?" the blonde demanded, her eyes widening in shock as she absorbed what had just been told to her.
"Yes. Daichi was my father." was all the girl, now known as Tsuki replied. Her body rigid with the fear of rejection.
The tall blonde let out a collective breath as she raked her hand through her hair. The older girl didn't know what to do or how to reply, the shock of the situation consuming her briefly.
"well...there's no need to stay out here and get soaked." she finally said as she held out a large hand to help the girl to her feet.
Tsuki glanced up at the strange colored eyes as she was pulled into a standing position. Her movements stiff from the thousands of wounds that littered across her pale skin. As she was lead into the large house she paused to take off her dripping shoes however as her hand reluctantly went to the zipper of her jacket.
"Tsuki...Why are you here?" the blonde questioned, her eyes narrowing at the smaller figure though her tone was a much lighter one than the dark haired girl expected.
"This was the only place I felt I could try to go." Tsuki answered as she slowly took off her jacket, hissing as the wet fabric unclench from her ripped and battered shoulders.
"Michiru! Get Setsuna down here quick!" the short haired teen called as her eyes widened as she took in all the damage that was on the other girl's body.
"What is it Haruka?" a melodious voice asked as a aqua haired girl walked into the room, her sapphire eyes growing slightly larger as she saw the younger, pale figure that stood in the room.
"I don't want to know honestly." Haruka replied as she took the girl's jacket, using the closeness as an excuse to get a good look at what damage that was done to the younger girl who was also her half sister.
She couldn't believe how much blood had collected on the back of Tsuki's shirt.
"Who did this?" She asked, lightly touching one of the deep bruises on her half siblings face, noting how the girl flinched even at the lightest of touches.
"Between my half brother and my mom? I have no idea what is from whom." Tsuki replied, her tone holding a bitter humor toward what had happened.
"can you tell me why they did this?"
The question caught Tsuki off guard, though she didn't know how to explain herself. However she could let out a sigh of as the aqua haired girl, who's name she recalled was Michiru returned to the room with a tan skinned woman with long greenish colored hair and garnet eyes.
"Oh my stars what on earth did this to you?" The woman stated as she rushed over, first-aid kit in hand.
"its not a what its a who!" Haruka growled before storming off toward the other room, her footfall sounding more fitting for a foot soldier than a teenaged girl.
"Uh-huh...well come on lets get you cleaned up." the woman—whom she assumed was Setsuna—stated with a sigh as she lead Tsuki toward the stairs.
Tsuki flinched as she forced the fabric from her shoulders, noting how cold that Setsuna's hands were against her bare skin.
"So who did this to you? I'm sure you told Haruka since she seemed incredibly annoyed down there." Sestuna asked her gingerly as she set about to clean the infecting wounds.
"Holy cow that hurts!" Tsuki hissed, flinching away from the touch of the alcohol soaked cotton before she added "My mom and...Shit!...half brother."
Setsuna sighed as she wordlessly finished bandaging the girl's torso.
"Why did they do this?" the woman asked suddenly, catching Tsuki off guard as she stood there, trying to understand why any parent would ever hurt their own child.
"Lets just say that I'm not exactly what my family wants...I kind of went to the movies with this guy that lives nearby and my family didn't agree with it. It wasn't even a date...He was my best friend. Now I bet he wont even want to speak to me!" Tsuki exclaimed as she turned to the woman, who's soft gaze shone with sympathetic tears.
"Did you like this guy?" The tan skinned woman asked and Tsuki sighed as she slumped down onto the soft cotton of the bed, her eyes downcast as she managed to retort.
"Why do you care?"
The question rang in the air as the room turned deathly quite.
"You forget that reaccuring nightmare that you have had since you were thirteen?" Setsuna stated with a small smirk that caught Tsuki off guard.
"How do you know about that? What are you?" Tsuki demanded, a look of pure shock coming across her face as she spoke.
Does she know? Could she be the one who...
"just don't tell your sister...she wouldn't take too kindly to the idea of you being the soldier of darkness." Setsuna stated as she walked past.
"Whoa, wait...Pluto right? You're the one who saved my ass the first time I transformed!" the black haired teen stated, gasping with realization.
"Like I said just don't tell Haruka quite just yet. After all I doubt she would handle having another warrior in the family."
Tsuki smiled, though she soon regretted it due to the large bruise that covered the side of her face.
"I'll go get you some of Haruka's clothes...she wont mind." Setsuna stated as she exited the room.
Tsuki sat on the bed, trying to absorb everything that she had just heard.
Setsuna was a senshi and evidently so was Haruka...But what about the blue eyed girl Michiru? What if she over stayed her welcome? Or what if they found out who's powers—and star-seed—that she had been given?
However before she could worry herself sick over what she was thinking a heavy knock came against the doorframe and as soon as she looked up she saw Haruka walk in.
"Setsuna said that you needed some of my clothes." she said nonchalantly as she placed a folded pair of black jeans and a large dark green-t shirt with a sports logo across the front.
"Thanks Haruka...I feel like I've already asked you for too much." Tsuki answered what she attempted of a smile.
"Uhm...No problem...Say since you have no where to go I guess it would only be fair to let you stay here then huh? That is if you want to." the blonde stated, rubbing the back of her neck nervously.
In all truth Haruka didn't know how to react to the news that she had a sister, even half.
"uhm...thanks. I could get a job and pay you rent once a month for my stay." Tsuki bargained as she pulled on the shirt, gasping as the cotton rubbed against one of the bandaged gashes.
"No need, This place is big enough." Haruka answered with a shrug before taking her leave.
Tsuki sighed as she was left again with her thoughts, which where running ragged at the moment.
What will she think when she finds out that my star-seed was the very one that was once concealed in the dark moon clan? Will she still be able to accept the fact that the second chance was given to someone like me? What if she finds out the truth about the guy that I like? Will she hate me then?
As the thought overtook her she found herself slipping into a deep, dreamless sleep. The tiredness of the last few days consuming her as she tried to process both emotion and thought and wondered what her life would be now that she was with the blonde and the family that she had made for herself.
