     6    The Taste of Blood

     7     by The Ghost of 'lectricity

     8 

     9  The taste of blood on my lips. That's all I have 

    10 left of her. Sweet and bitter. Warm. I can still 

    11 feel it.

    12 

    13  The blade went smoothly through her chest. Into 

    14 her left breast slicing her heart in two. When 

    15 the first trickles of blood appeared she was 

    16 still smiling. How could you have done this to 

    17 me? How could you have asked that of me?

    18 

    19  "You have to do it. When I die the Ginzuishou 

    20 will restore everything. I die so everyone else 

    21 can live. It has to be this way. And you have to 

    22 do it. Only the destructive power of Saturn can 

    23 kill me."

    24 

    25  It was so easy. When the blade went through her 

    26 flesh I couldn't feel any resistance. Soon her 

    27 whole dress - white before - was red with her 

    28 blood.

    29 

    30  When she was lying there, the Ginzuishou keeping 

    31 her still alive, she opened her mouth to speak. I 

    32 brought my face closer so she wouldn't strain 

    33 herself too much. She told me to close my eyes. 

    34 Then she put her hands to the sides of my face 

    35 and brought my face closer to hers. She kissed 

    36 me. Lightly. Sweetly. Gently. But all that filled 

    37 my mind was the taste of blood on my lips. No 

    38 emotions came up.

    39 

    40  When I opened my eyes she had closed hers 

    41 already. A single tear fell onto her eyelid. I 

    42 got up and turned to walk away. Behind me I felt 

    43 warmth, but it wasn't her warmth, it was the 

    44 power of the Ginzuishou. Pink ribbons began 

    45 flying everywhere, green plants began covering 

    46 the gray surface, the black emptiness above was 

    47 replaced by a blue sky and white clouds. The 

    48 puffy ones, the ones she loved so much. She 

    49 always recognized some animals or people in them.

    50 

    51  The princess of the Moon possesses the ability 

    52 to contain its power while the Princess of Saturn 

    53 possesses the ability to unleash it. That is what 

    54 she told me once. Then she added that we are the 

    55 perfect couple and we laughed. Life will begin 

    56 anew, no, it will be restored, now that she is 

    57 dead.

    58 

    59  Now I am on Saturn, an outcast from the Moon 

    60 Kingdom. The Senshi exiled me here because I 

    61 never explained what happened. They thought I 

    62 killed the Princess and so I did, that is why I 

    63 do not wish to go back.

    64 

    65  When I am alone I can feel it. The warmth. It's 

    66 not the power of her protecting crystal, but her 

    67 warmth that I feel. When I close my eyes I can 

    68 recall our first kiss but with that her last 

    69 minutes. And the taste of blood on my lips. So I 

    70 don't. I'm content in the warmth that surrounds 

    71 me ever since.
