rlm@2 6 The Taste of Blood
rlm@2 7 by The Ghost of 'lectricity
rlm@2 8
rlm@2 9 The taste of blood on my lips. That's all I have
rlm@2 10 left of her. Sweet and bitter. Warm. I can still
rlm@2 11 feel it.
rlm@2 12
rlm@2 13 The blade went smoothly through her chest. Into
rlm@2 14 her left breast slicing her heart in two. When
rlm@2 15 the first trickles of blood appeared she was
rlm@2 16 still smiling. How could you have done this to
rlm@2 17 me? How could you have asked that of me?
rlm@2 18
rlm@2 19 "You have to do it. When I die the Ginzuishou
rlm@2 20 will restore everything. I die so everyone else
rlm@2 21 can live. It has to be this way. And you have to
rlm@2 22 do it. Only the destructive power of Saturn can
rlm@2 23 kill me."
rlm@2 24
rlm@2 25 It was so easy. When the blade went through her
rlm@2 26 flesh I couldn't feel any resistance. Soon her
rlm@2 27 whole dress - white before - was red with her
rlm@2 28 blood.
rlm@2 29
rlm@2 30 When she was lying there, the Ginzuishou keeping
rlm@2 31 her still alive, she opened her mouth to speak. I
rlm@2 32 brought my face closer so she wouldn't strain
rlm@2 33 herself too much. She told me to close my eyes.
rlm@2 34 Then she put her hands to the sides of my face
rlm@2 35 and brought my face closer to hers. She kissed
rlm@2 36 me. Lightly. Sweetly. Gently. But all that filled
rlm@2 37 my mind was the taste of blood on my lips. No
rlm@2 38 emotions came up.
rlm@2 39
rlm@2 40 When I opened my eyes she had closed hers
rlm@2 41 already. A single tear fell onto her eyelid. I
rlm@2 42 got up and turned to walk away. Behind me I felt
rlm@2 43 warmth, but it wasn't her warmth, it was the
rlm@2 44 power of the Ginzuishou. Pink ribbons began
rlm@2 45 flying everywhere, green plants began covering
rlm@2 46 the gray surface, the black emptiness above was
rlm@2 47 replaced by a blue sky and white clouds. The
rlm@2 48 puffy ones, the ones she loved so much. She
rlm@2 49 always recognized some animals or people in them.
rlm@2 50
rlm@2 51 The princess of the Moon possesses the ability
rlm@2 52 to contain its power while the Princess of Saturn
rlm@2 53 possesses the ability to unleash it. That is what
rlm@2 54 she told me once. Then she added that we are the
rlm@2 55 perfect couple and we laughed. Life will begin
rlm@2 56 anew, no, it will be restored, now that she is
rlm@2 57 dead.
rlm@2 58
rlm@2 59 Now I am on Saturn, an outcast from the Moon
rlm@2 60 Kingdom. The Senshi exiled me here because I
rlm@2 61 never explained what happened. They thought I
rlm@2 62 killed the Princess and so I did, that is why I
rlm@2 63 do not wish to go back.
rlm@2 64
rlm@2 65 When I am alone I can feel it. The warmth. It's
rlm@2 66 not the power of her protecting crystal, but her
rlm@2 67 warmth that I feel. When I close my eyes I can
rlm@2 68 recall our first kiss but with that her last
rlm@2 69 minutes. And the taste of blood on my lips. So I
rlm@2 70 don't. I'm content in the warmth that surrounds
rlm@2 71 me ever since.
