I do not own Sailor Moon
The
Park was filled with with the smell of cool air, autumn foliage
and
roasted chestnuts.
A beautiful blonde woman walked trough the
foliage, in front of her walked two cats, one was white the other one
black.
They stopped and started playing with the foliage.
The
young woman, 22 years old, stood next to them. Her long blonde hair
that was tied up in a
dark-red ribbon and fell slinky on her shoulders . Her blue eyes sparkled in mirth as she watched the two cats playing. She was waiting for a person. Someone she has loved once.
And someone she was sure to spend the rest of her lifetime with.
"Ara,
you´re here already, I expected you to come 15 minutes too
late, like you always did!"
She turned to the person. His
green eyes hit her blue ones.
"Ara,what a nice greeting,
sarcastically like always!" she beefed playfully.
"So
what was it, you wanted to talk about?" he asked her leaning
again a tree.
He wore a brown cap over his long long silver hair
tied up in a ponytail, dark pants and a dark-brown jacket fitting his
slim body perfectly.
"It´s because Taiki´s and
Ami´s wedding next month. You know, they want us to perform
something." she said endeavored to sound casual.
"Something...a
poem, a stage play, a musical..??" he said, while he watched the
people around them.
"No..it´s a song...a duet!"
her voice was quiet as she said the last word.
He laughed out. "A
duet, well that could be funny anyway!" he shook his
silver-blond head
with
the cap on it and smiled scoffingly.
"I knew it. I knew, you
would laugh!" she said rather angry just to hide the offended
tone in her voice.
He chuckled. "I´m not laughing at
it, I´m just amused. Still can´t understand, that they
want to marry. I mean Ami is a woman, I guess ever woman wants to
marry, but Taiki..." he laughed in disbelief.
"I never expected him to marry...at least so young."
Minako played with her blue muffler. "I know, I was suprised, too."
Yaten braced his foot against the tree.
"And I´m wondering why they picked us, I mean, Seiya can sing with Usagi as well...
though
it would be a comedy-performance then".
She didn´t say
anything, he wondered, if he hurt her.
So he straightend and layed
one hand on her shoulder.
"allright, I understood, just tell
me the song they want us to sing."
She frowned "Don´t
know, they haven´t decided,yet".
Green orbs focused on
a long golden strand on her shoulder.
"I guess, it will be
defintely a -"
"No, not exactly!" she interrupted
him rashly.
Lovesong,
that´s what he wanted to say. But she wouldn´t let him
say that, because
it would make the mood more confusing.
"You
know" she continued "They are Ami and Taiki not Usagi and
Seiya or Mako and Motoki. They don´t need that emotional stuff.
Maybe they want just a neutral
song."
"neutral...I see..."
His hand lowered
towards her upper arm and his fingers were playing with the soft
cashmere of her jacket. "Isn´t that the jacket I endowed
you for Christmas last year?"
"It is" she said,
avoiding his eyes and concentrating on a leaf dancing in the cool
autumn wind.
His green eyes studied her blue ones with an
unreadable gaze.
That caused Minako frown.
Damn, he was always
so endeavored to be cool and ignorant and now he stood here with his
hand wrapped around her arm and studied her so intently.
It was
him who has broken off with her after all.
So what´s the
damn point of that?
Then his look turned cool again. "allright,
if there´s nothing else..."
"How are things going, did you find somebody?" Mina asked rashly.
He sighed and looked to the sky. "Not actually...I´m gonna meet someone in about 15 minutes."
He glanced at her briefly. "But that´s not serious. I´m not interested in a new relationship, yet.
What about you? Do you have someone?"
She made little crosses with her nails inside her hand. "No one particular. Just for fun".
She was suprised, about the way this conversation was going.
Yaten studied her. Then looked at his watch. "I see...allright, I have to go now."
Minako swallowed. "Oh yes, your date" she winked at him.
Yaten gave her a hug. "Just call me,when they pick a song."
She nodded.
"Bye"
"Bye"
Then he was gone in a haze of coolness and melancholy.
The autumn leaves seemed to follow him.
Minako stared at her boots. A strange longing filled her heart.
She even didn´t notice Artemis and Luna who returned from their play.
Her eyes focused on the autumn sun. 'That´s the way it is' she thought to herself.
A smile appeared on her peach-colored lips.
That´s life.
