The Taste of Blood
Warning: People die in this story so don't read
it if you have a problem with that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The taste of blood on my lips. That's all I have
left of her. Sweet and bitter. Warm. I can still
feel it.
The blade went smoothly through her chest. Into
her left breast slicing her heart in two. When
the first trickles of blood appeared she was
still smiling. How could you have done this to
me? How could you have asked that of me?
"You have to do it. When I die the Ginzuishou
will restore everything. I die so everyone else
can live. It has to be this way. And you have to
do it. Only the destructive power of Saturn can
kill me."
It was so easy. When the blade went through her
flesh I couldn't feel any resistance. Soon her
whole dress - white before - was red with her
blood.
When she was lying there, the Ginzuishou keeping
her still alive, she opened her mouth to speak. I
brought my face closer so she wouldn't strain
herself too much. She told me to close my eyes.
Then she put her hands to the sides of my face
and brought my face closer to hers. She kissed
me. Lightly. Sweetly. Gently. But all that filled
my mind was the taste of blood on my lips. No
emotions came up.
When I opened my eyes she had closed hers
already. A single tear fell onto her eyelid. I
got up and turned to walk away. Behind me I felt
warmth, but it wasn't her warmth, it was the
power of the Ginzuishou. Pink ribbons began
flying everywhere, green plants began covering
the gray surface, the black emptiness above was
replaced by a blue sky and white clouds. The
puffy ones, the ones she loved so much. She
always recognized some animals or people in them.
The princess of the Moon possesses the ability
to contain its power while the Princess of Saturn
possesses the ability to unleash it. That is what
she told me once. Then she added that we are the
perfect couple and we laughed. Life will begin
anew, no, it will be restored, now that she is
dead.
Now I am on Saturn, an outcast from the Moon
Kingdom. The Senshi exiled me here because I
never explained what happened. They thought I
killed the Princess and so I did, that is why I
do not wish to go back.
When I am alone I can feel it. The warmth. It's
not the power of her protecting crystal, but her
warmth that I feel. When I close my eyes I can
recall our first kiss but with that her last
minutes. And the taste of blood on my lips. So I
don't. I'm content in the warmth that surrounds
me ever since.
