|
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.
