     1.9 +   The Taste of Blood
    1.10 +    by The Ghost of 'lectricity
    1.11 +
    1.12 + The taste of blood on my lips. That's all I have 
    1.13 +left of her. Sweet and bitter. Warm. I can still 
    1.14 +feel it.
    1.15 +
    1.16 + The blade went smoothly through her chest. Into 
    1.17 +her left breast slicing her heart in two. When 
    1.18 +the first trickles of blood appeared she was 
    1.19 +still smiling. How could you have done this to 
    1.20 +me? How could you have asked that of me?
    1.21 +
    1.22 + "You have to do it. When I die the Ginzuishou 
    1.23 +will restore everything. I die so everyone else 
    1.24 +can live. It has to be this way. And you have to 
    1.25 +do it. Only the destructive power of Saturn can 
    1.26 +kill me."
    1.27 +
    1.28 + It was so easy. When the blade went through her 
    1.29 +flesh I couldn't feel any resistance. Soon her 
    1.30 +whole dress - white before - was red with her 
    1.31 +blood.
    1.32 +
    1.33 + When she was lying there, the Ginzuishou keeping 
    1.34 +her still alive, she opened her mouth to speak. I 
    1.35 +brought my face closer so she wouldn't strain 
    1.36 +herself too much. She told me to close my eyes. 
    1.37 +Then she put her hands to the sides of my face 
    1.38 +and brought my face closer to hers. She kissed 
    1.39 +me. Lightly. Sweetly. Gently. But all that filled 
    1.40 +my mind was the taste of blood on my lips. No 
    1.41 +emotions came up.
    1.42 +
    1.43 + When I opened my eyes she had closed hers 
    1.44 +already. A single tear fell onto her eyelid. I 
    1.45 +got up and turned to walk away. Behind me I felt 
    1.46 +warmth, but it wasn't her warmth, it was the 
    1.47 +power of the Ginzuishou. Pink ribbons began 
    1.48 +flying everywhere, green plants began covering 
    1.49 +the gray surface, the black emptiness above was 
    1.50 +replaced by a blue sky and white clouds. The 
    1.51 +puffy ones, the ones she loved so much. She 
    1.52 +always recognized some animals or people in them.
    1.53 +
    1.54 + The princess of the Moon possesses the ability 
    1.55 +to contain its power while the Princess of Saturn 
    1.56 +possesses the ability to unleash it. That is what 
    1.57 +she told me once. Then she added that we are the 
    1.58 +perfect couple and we laughed. Life will begin 
    1.59 +anew, no, it will be restored, now that she is 
    1.60 +dead.
    1.61 +
    1.62 + Now I am on Saturn, an outcast from the Moon 
    1.63 +Kingdom. The Senshi exiled me here because I 
    1.64 +never explained what happened. They thought I 
    1.65 +killed the Princess and so I did, that is why I 
    1.66 +do not wish to go back.
    1.67 +
    1.68 + When I am alone I can feel it. The warmth. It's 
    1.69 +not the power of her protecting crystal, but her 
    1.70 +warmth that I feel. When I close my eyes I can 
    1.71 +recall our first kiss but with that her last 
    1.72 +minutes. And the taste of blood on my lips. So I 
    1.73 +don't. I'm content in the warmth that surrounds 
    1.74 +me ever since.
    1.75 +
