THE QUEEN AND THE FIRE The night was growing colder, the snow stopped for a while, and a strong current of air coming from the ocean wiped away the clouds lingering on the sky, leaving the moon exposed in all its splendor. The girls were on Rei's room, talking in whispers not to wake the priestess' grandfather up, looking at each other in a whole new way. "you know...I lied to you about Darien tonight." Usagi was looking through the window, like she was talking to the moon itself. "I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't think I'm in love with him at all. ...I just...don't know what to do about it" Rei was looking at her with eyes full of love, she knew she could do that when Usagi couldn't see her. "You don't have to be with anyone you don't want to, Usagi. Don't feel the pressure of the kingdom over your shoulders in that way, you have to be happy, and live your life with freedom, no matter what..." She twisted a curl of blond hair in her finger, and kept in silence. 'She looks so fragile' thought Rei, while moving towards Usagi and wrapping her arms around her. They were beside the window, both on their knees, leaning over each other. In a whisper she said " I wish I could do something to help you Usagi...I'm harsh with you sometimes, but I'd do anything for you... do you know that?" Her warm breath caressed her ear with every word. She couldn't see her eyes, but she could feel her gaze. And again, that feeling of vertigo in her chest making her whole body ache everytime her heart would beat. Usagi turned to see her priestess face. It was glowing with beauty and devotion. Moving slowly and without taking her eyes from Rei's, she put her hand on her chin, and softly pull her close to her lips... and she kissed her. Her scent was sweet and intoxicating, a jasmine breeze bringing memories of summer, her skin was pale and soft, and she could feel her heart pounding hard when she placed her hand on her neck. She caressed her upper lip with hers, then she placed a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth. Rei had her eyes closed, letting the blonde surround her with love, her body motionless, as if she was trying not to break the spell. She shyly kissed her back, with a light gentle touch, and put her arm around her waist. Usagi slowly open her mouth, getting closer to her body, and Rei imitated her, feeling her warm sweet breath touching her mouth. Their bodies got closer, and the kiss grew deeper, as they felt confident of the feelings of the other. Rei's mouth was incredibly smooth and welcoming. She tasted her. It was overwhelming, and when she felt the shape of her beautiful body slightly rubbing against her, slowly following the rhythm of the kiss, she realized this was the most romantic moment of her life. The perfect place, the perfect one. Outside the shrine, the moon grew brighter and a red shade covered all its surface. It was a beautiful red moon.
