I am a
solitary person, somewhat of a loner, and I don't often talk in depth about
myself. Michiru asked me to meet with you here at Infinity C Park, and I
never deny my Michiru anything she asks. Even so, I can't talk with you
long because I have important things to do today.
Since you want to
know, my name is Ten'ou Haruka and I am an Aquarius, born on January 27. I currently
live in Minato Ward in the Ten'ou
Zone of the newly
reclaimed Tokyo Bay area, now called the Delta. The Ten'ou Zone
forms "an equilateral triangle" [quoted
from Alex Glover's translation]
with the Kaiou Zone and the Meiou Zone. The Infinity Zone is located
in the center of the triangle, and is at the heart of the Delta. My
condominium is number 1127, and is on
the top floor of a skyscraper. The rent is pretty high, about $1,000,000 a
month, but it's not a worry for me. I transferred from Juuban Municipal High and am now in first year
at the Infinity School which is situated on the Infinity Bank in the Infinity Zone of the Delta. It is an exclusive private school for those who are
extraordinarily gifted in the arts, sports, and such. I transferred here so I could investigate the school as well as
the Delta, which is entirely owned by a man named Professor Tomoe Souichi.
I often travel
by helicopter, as does my girlfriend, Michiru. We both own our own
helicopters which we keep on the roofs of our respective condos. I fly the Ten'ou Maru and
she flies the Kaiou Maru. I'm a famous race-car driver, and I can
beat anyone on the track. As a matter of fact, I am considered to be one of the finest
racers in Japan. As you can see, I do not lack confidence in myself.
I never feel more at ease, or happier than when I am on the track. I can
fly with the wind and become a part of my dream. Speaking of dreams,
the only car for me is my light blue Ferrari 512M. That is the only car that could ever be a match for my speed and
grace.
I practice Judo, and I excel in that as well. I was once challenged to a
match by Kino Makoto on Mount M. She was rather hasty in her attack, and I
easily threw her. I am a very fierce fighter, and a strong one at that,
especially when my back is against the wall. I never give up on a fight,
and I never lose. As Sailor Uranus, I am the strongest Soldier of the
nine.
Most people do
not realize that I am a woman, because of my masculine appearance. I have
very short blond hair, and I prefer wearing masculine clothes to dresses and
such. I don't care what gender people believe me to be, I let them think
as they will and I am very comfortable with who I am, man or woman. I
have no interest in men, only in my girlfriend Michiru, but I do like to flirt
with pretty girls.
When I first
met odango in Crown Game Center, she thought I was a man too. I noticed
her playing the Battle Lapp racing simulation game at the same time
I was. I thought she was cute, and I liked flirting with her.
Michiru also noticed this, and I think she was a little jealous. I suppose
I was a bit jealous too, seeing Michiru talking to the handsome man standing
outside the Game Center who turned out to be Chiba Mamoru. Although I may flirt
and tease sometimes, there is no person closer to me than Kaiou Michiru.
She is my best friend, confidant, and lover. We spend a great deal of time
together and are deeply in love with one another.
Still, Usagi
drew me in with her gentle innocence and pure heart. She had such a
beautiful aura, maybe that was what made me reach out and kiss her as I did in
my form as Sailor Uranus. ...Beautiful Princess of the Moon... I
would have done so again in the park, but I saw the Prince approaching, so I
quickly ran off and left her there alone. There is a strong friendship and
respect between Usagi and I. I cannot explain it, nor do I wish to, but it
is strong and pure, and different from the love I feel for Michiru. I can
remember the years I spent protecting the outer ends of the universe, and how I
watched the Silence come upon it...and me as well. I longed for the Moon
Kingdom, to be in the presence of the Princess and protect her, but my place was
in the outer universe. Now, being near her brings me a certain
contentment. For once I can protect her from a close distance rather than
from far away. This time I will stop the Silence...
There is much
Usagi has to learn of me and Michiru and the others. The time is coming
for these things to be revealed, but it is not here yet. Nor am I ready to
discuss these matters with you. I will tell you this, however; I live for
one purpose, to protect the Earth and the Princess. Even in my civilian
form I do not forget who I am, or what my duties are. I have dreams, but
they come secondary to my mission. My dreams, my personal life, even my
Michiru come second to my duty as the soldier of the sky and wind, Sailor
Uranus. Never forget that.
I believe I
have said quite enough for now, and it is time for me to go. I have a race
in a few hours. If you see Michiru, don't keep her too long, she needs to
pick me up after the race and I don't want her to be kept late. I will be
waiting for her.
