rlm@2: "It must have been fate"

rlm@2: 	Hi. ^^ Sara Jaye again, with something a liiittle different than
rlm@2: the usual stuff. ^_^;; I came up with this on the spur of the moment,
rlm@2: while in another one of my introspective trances and thinking about
rlm@2: the Sailor Moon S manga translation I read. I just love the quote
rlm@2: from Hotaru as she returns ChibiUsa's heart crystal: "We're both
rlm@2: girls, but it's strange. It must have been fate that we met". How
rlm@2: romantic! ^=^
rlm@2: 	But anyway...
rlm@2: 	This is a short, introspective look at ChibiUsa's thoughts after
rlm@2: Hotaru's sacrifice. Not as angsty as most of my other works, but it
rlm@2: is rather sad in a way.
rlm@2: 	Enough disclaimer. On with the story. ^_^;;
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: [Disclaimers: Sailor Moon is the property of Naoko Takeuchi and Toei
rlm@2: animation. None of the characters belong to me.
rlm@2: This is a yuri/shoujo ai fanfiction, meaning love between 2 girls.
rlm@2: If you are offended by this, then I suggest you leave immediately.
rlm@2: Reading this, being offended/shocked/disgusted, and flaming me will
rlm@2: result in me being very pissed off. And trust me, you do not want
rlm@2: that to happen. Same to you ChibiUsa-haters. But if none of the above
rlm@2: apply to you, enjoy! ^_^]

rlm@2: "We're both girls, but it's strange. It must have been fate that we
rlm@2: met."
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Moments after you're gone, those words still repeat in my mind.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Fate...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: It's so very cruel. I met you, became attached to you, and now I've
rlm@2: lost you...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Yes, you did sacrifice yourself to save me, but the fact remains
rlm@2: that you're gone. And I'm left with this sad emptiness, knowing I'll
rlm@2: probably never see you again.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: My best friend...no...this feeling is stronger than just friendship.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: {"It must have been fate that we met..."}
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Fate...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Just like my mother and father, destined to be together...fate
rlm@2: brought them together...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Hotaru-chan...you were more than just a friend.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: {"It's good we met. I'm glad we became friends, Chibi-Usa-chan.
rlm@2: Thank you. Goodbye."}
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: No, Hotaru-chan. Thank you.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: You gave your life up to give me back mine. You just wanted to save
rlm@2: me...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: More than just a friend.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: And now that I've realized, it's too late. You're gone...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Hotaru-chan...
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: 				~
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: 	The solemn pink-haired girl looked down at her brooch, her crimson
rlm@2: eyes filling with tears.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: 	'Aishiteru, Hotaru-chan,' she thought as her tears began to fall.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: 				~End~
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: 	Yay! Another fanfic I finished in one night! ^_^ I love that
rlm@2: feeling...finishing a story gives me a bit of a high, in a sense.
rlm@2: ^_^;; Anyways, I won't bother with a long anfternote here, just
rlm@2: thanks to Heather-sama for sending the manga translation and
rlm@2: inspiring me to come up with this. ^^ (And an apology for not doing
rlm@2: the same in the afternote to my first Tomoyo&Sakura story. ^^;;; How
rlm@2: that slipped my mine I will never know. O_o So I'll thank her for the
rlm@2: inspiration to write that as well. ^_^;) You can read her wonderful
rlm@2: fanfiction at http://fly.to/moonlit_nights.
rlm@2: 	Ja ne! ^_^
