A/N: This is going to be a story not many are used to…Michiru in a more dominating, cold, horrible role and Haruka in more of a defenseless, vulnerable role. It'll all work out in the end, and it will all come together, I promise. I hope everyone enjoys it, to say the least…

Also, thanks Harukachan212 for reading this...a lot and finding all my mistakes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Haruka or Michiru. I do, however, take credit for the plot itself.

She lifted the king's head with the tip of her sword, grinning wickedly at the sounds of the battle at her back. The king in question was kneeling, his hands tied tightly behind his back. His crown had fallen off leaning against his knees like someone had tossed it at him. He was wearing a pair of black breeches with a pair of high black boots, polished to the point that one could see their reflection in them. A plain white tunic completed his ensemble, perfectly white and pressed so that the creases stood out. He was dressed as if he would be going on a leisurely horse back ride, not being held captive while his planet was being ransacked. His dark blonde hair was graying with age, and a bit of a beard was forming on his wrinkled face.

His queen sat at his right, her crown still sitting on her black hair, her chin raised and her brown eyes filled with defiance. She was also kneeling, her arms also tied behind her back, the ropes cutting into the soft flesh of her wrists. She was clad in a white summer dress, with black accents of intricate flowers weaving their way down her torso. Her hair, long and poker straight, was left to cascade down her shoulders, a small braid holding her bangs back.

To the kings left sat his heir, a young woman that looked to be in her early twenties. She was wearing a suit of brilliant gold armor that had a navy blue cape attached to the shoulder pieces of her armor. Her sheath was at her side, empty, it being made of a dark blue metal with ambers set into it. Her sword had been taken from its home at her side and tossed absentmindedly to the side, the golden blade shining in the sun. Her boyishly short blonde hair blew in the breeze, along with her cape as she glared at the sword that was under her fathers chin. Her grey eyes followed the sword until they landed on the woman wielding it, anger and hatred gripping her heart like an iron fist.

King Tatomi lifted his head, his own green eyes also burning with anger. The woman laughed softly, placing the sword on his shoulder. She was wearing a long, almost formal navy blue dress, which was decorated with silver accents that fluttered around her in the breeze that had begun to pick up. Her aqua curls framed her face elegantly, and were also being played with by the wind of the sky planet. She grinned down at her captives, her eyes lingering on the young woman to the kings left.

"Ready to surrender to me King Tatomi?" she said with a grin, her blue eyes shining with mirth, as if this was a game to her. He spat at her feet. She scoffed. "I'll take that as a no…" Behind her the soldiers of Neptune waged war with the Uranian soldiers, the sounds of the war they fought erupting around them. The Uranian warriors, who were dressed in navy blue armor with the symbol of Uranus emblazoned on their shields in gold, fought their hardest to break through the numerous ranks of seasoned soldiers wearing teal armor, the symbol of Neptune on their shields. The soldiers in navy blue yelled their battle cry, attacking once more, trying to get into the palace, in order to save their King, their Queen, and their Princess.

"Tatomi…Just surrender to me, and everything will be much better, I assure you…" the woman with aqua hair stated simply, pulling her sword from his shoulder, and digging the tip into the soft grass. She waved her arm behind her, the battle waging below clearly visible from atop the hill they were on, the Neptunian soldiers blocking the main gate that led to the palace. The king glared at her with more hate than before.

"I won't surrender to the likes of you, Queen Neptune…" he glared at her. Michiru threw her head back and laughed, placing her sword back to his throat. Her sword's blade was a bright silver color, the hilt a deep aqua color with emeralds laid into it. The tip dug into Tatomi's flesh, a trickle of blood running down his neck and staining the collar of his tunic. His wife gasped.

"Let us go you monster!" she snapped, attempting to stand up. A soldier in teal armor shoved her back down. Her head snapped around, glaring at him. Michiru slapped her, the queen of Uranus' eyes widening with shock. The young blonde soldier that sat on the kings other side let out a yell.

"You mother fucker!" She yelled, struggling against her bonds. Another soldier cracked her at the base of her skull, which caused her to shut her eyes in pain. Michiru laughed.

"Oh…Princess Haruka…You've always had such a spirit…" she pressed harder against the sword, the tip digging further into the kings neck. Haruka made to move towards her sword, the soldier guarding her grabbing a hold of her shoulders and forcing her to stay put. King Tatomi tensed his neck, the tendons appearing much more noticeably as he did so. The blood began to run much more heavily. "Surrender to me!" Michiru shouted. The king shook his head.

"Let him go, Neptune…" the queen of Uranus looked at her, her eyes filled suddenly with concern and worry for her husbands safety. Haruka made to move again, the guard punching her in the back of the neck.

"Queen Umeko…He won't give me what I want…so…maybe you will," she pulled her sword away from his throat, a large gash right next to his wind pipe. "Sign the surrender of this planet to me…and you all can live. It's simple. You answer to me, and give me soldiers and supplies for my assault on the moon, and in return you keep your lives, your titles. Once I have completed my task and have taken over the solar system, you will still have your titles, and your planet," she smiled at them, as if she was trying to talk them into buying cookies. They all gaped at her.

"You're going to attack the moon…" Queen Umeko's mouth had fallen open. Tatomi shot her a glare.

"Queen Serenity won't fall…She'll kick your ass back to Neptune and then you'll be banished. You won't win, regardless, even if you kill us, because Uranus will never surrender…" Haruka's voice was cold, her grey eyes burning with hatred. Michiru walked over and knelt before her, the blonde looked away, only to have her head jerked back around to face the queen of the ocean planet.

"Who says I am going to kill you, my princess?" she smirked at Haruka's dumbstruck look, and stood up gracefully, placing her sword at Umeko's throat this time. "Come on Tatomi, don't make me kill your gorgeous wife just because you're being stubborn," she whispered, a tinge of glee in her voice. Queen Umeko swallowed, the action causing the sword to cut into her flesh just a little bit. Tatomi moved to stand, the guards denying him the privilege.

"Don't you dare surrender, my love…" Umeko whispered, the sword digging into her throat a bit more. She winced slightly, Michiru began to laugh madly.

"Either surrender or die, either way I get your planet," she turned her eyes to Haruka, an odd light behind them as she looked at the young woman. The young blonde met her gaze, and turned her grey eyes from Michiru's blue, shivering slightly.

"Kill us…I won't surrender this planet freely…" Tatomi jutted out his chin, his green eyes stating that he was prepared for death. Michiru laughed bitterly.

"Do you feel the same, my Queen? Would you die for this planet?" she jabbed her sword tighter against Umeko's neck.

"If my husband is prepared to die…I am ready to die by his side as well," she turned her head slightly to look at the king of Uranus. "Wherever you go, my love, I'll follow you…Even if that means to follow you to the fiery pits of hell," she smiled at him and leaned against his shoulder. Michiru pulled her sword away.

"How touching…" she stated sarcastically, and she picked up her sword, swinging it elegantly, the blade cutting across Tatomi's neck with a clean swipe. Umeko screamed as her husband slumped forward, and Haruka's eyes widened, her mouth dropping in a look of pure horror. Her mouth moved, but no words came out, a trail of tears beginning to inch down her dusty cheeks. Umeko screamed once again as Michiru swung her sword with uncanny precision, her scream being cut off with a sickening gargling sound as she hit the Uranian dust. The young blonde cried out, tears running freely down her cheeks at this point, dripping onto her armor as they fell from her eyes. She threw herself forward, attempting to hug the bodies of her parents, but one of Michiru's guards grabbed her by the shoulders, jerking her to her feet. She looked back down at her parents bodies, pools of blood forming around them as they laid there, slumped forward, the wounds invisible to Haruka's eyes. A silent sob racked her body, and she fell to her knees, leaning her forehead against the dusty ground. Her shoulders shook, but still no sound escaped from her throat. Michiru rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers, the guards dragging Haruka to her feet once more. Michiru grabbed the young woman's face in her hands, forcing her to look at her.

"They're dead. Get over it. I need a King for when I take over this solar system, and I have chosen you to fill the role, understood?" her voice was stern, but soft, filled with unrequited love. Haruka spit in her face. The queen pushed her to the ground and wiped the spit from her face. The young warrior looked up at her, anger seeping from her pores.

"Go to hell you monster! Fucking tyrant! I will never love you, not ever, no matter what you do or say," she screamed, the need for revenge apparent in her grey eyes. Michiru walked over, and grabbed her hair, jerking her to her feet before slapping her as hard as she could. Haruka fell to the ground, not making any sound. A large red handprint appeared on the left side of her face, and she could only laugh bitterly. "That the best you can do? Some tyrant you are…killing people when their hands are tied, and slapping others who only tell you the truth!" She spat at her once more as Michiru's foot connected with her face, a loud crack sounding around them. Haruka's eye began to blacken almost instantly, her eye socket broken. She yowled in pain, the searing heat from it spreading over her body. Michiru jerked her to her feet again, kissing the blackened eye very gently. Haruka didn't make a move to fight her off, her vision becoming blurry.

"I'm sorry, my princess…but you just wouldn't shut up…" Michiru whispered quietly, as Haruka passed out. The queen nodded, a guard walking over. He carefully picked the young warrior up. "Take good care of her, and be careful of her face. Set her in my private shuttle. I'll be there in a moment," the guard nodded and began to walk towards the Uranian shuttle station, Haruka limp in his arms. Michiru walked to a small outcropping of rocks, watching her armies beat back the Uranian forces, and a sinister smile crept over her face.

"Uranus and Pluto…That's 2 down, only 5 more to go until this entire solar system is mine," she laughed, the sounds of war making her heart sing.
