Author's Note: I decided to write about what Naru really felt after Nephrite died
so don't flame me. This is what I think she felt.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Thick mist swirled around her as she tried to think of
a way out of this maze. She looked around trying to get her
bearings of where she was but failed to see anything. Only an
endless void of mist stared back at her. She shivered as she
felt watchful eyes on her, as if taking glory in her despair.
Determined not to lose control, she closed her eyes, taking deep
breathes; trying to control herself. As she regained her composure
she felt icy claw-like hands grab her neck. She let out a scream
as the wall of control she was building crumbled down. It felt
like she swallowed a huge ice cube as her insides went cold and
fear swept over her, as she was pulled backwards. The hand
pushed her forward as she was turned around and found 3 youmas
standing over a body. She muffled her scream, afraid of attracting
their attention.
The forgotten hand around her neck was remembered as
it tightened and pulled her down toward the body, as it forced her
to get a good look at the body. Struggling against the hand she was
pushed closer and closer as the 3 youmas moved away laughing as
the face was coming into view. With one last push the hand released
her and she stumbled over the body. She looked up at the body
trying to let her eyes focus as the face became clearer and clearer,
she tried moving away but something held her as she heard the
oh-so-familiar words in her mind, "You'll always be in my heart…….."
"Nooo!" screamed Naru as she woke up from her sleep. She
looked around blinking and sighed heavily, the sheets were on the
floor and her bed looked like it took quite a thrashing. This was
the fourth time this week she woke up screaming from that nightmare.
She sat quiet for a couple of minutes making sure she hadn't waken
anybody up. When there was no sound she sighed in relieve, she didn't
want to start explaining why she was screaming. All she wanted to
do was to think. Knowing she won't be able to sleep again, she got
out of her bed and walked towards her chair that looked out her open window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The cold wind felt good as it blew through her hair and
she started to relax. "Nephrite," she whispered as tears stung her
eyes. "Why did you leave me?" She took a deep breath trying to
control her tears, because once she started she won't be able to
stop. She looked out the window and found the moon shining brightly
as it bathed her face in white moonlight. Feeling herself becoming
calm she sighed. The moon always made her feel calm when she looked
at it……….beautiful white moonlight.
Naru looked back at her life since Nephrite left. She was
really sad the first couple of months, she didn't go to school or
eat. Her friends and parents were worried and they constantly tried
to make her feel better, but failed. She remembered how Usagi tried
cheering her up many times……….she smiled sadly at the thought. Usagi…….
she was a great friend and she was always there for her and she felt
horrible because of what happened to Nephrite. At first she wondered
why Usagi felt guilty around her, but she soon put two and two together
and found out that she was Sailor Moon. It didn't take a genius to figure
that out. All the mysterious disappearances and the appearance of Sailor
Moon once she was gone, the way she started to forget about their friendship
when Ami first appeared at school, then was followed by Rei, Makoto and
Minako. Her cat Luna with the crescent moon on it's head, and many more
evidence that she figured out.
She never blamed Sailor Moon, after all Nephrite was a
General from the Negaverse, and she did what she thought was right.
But she never harmed Nephrite, she tried saving him, but too late
when he was already bleeding in her arms. It was Zoisite
and those 3 youmas that appears in her nightmare night after night
reminding her how they killed Nephrite. It was them who killed him
and took him away from her. 'I wish I could have my revenge but
they're already gone, Sailor Moon took care of that.' Thought Naru.
Their friendship was unstable at the time Sailor Moon first
appeared, she was always busy with something or the other. 'It must
be hard for her trying to keep up the image of being a normal teenager
and still be able to keep her identity from her other friends. I know
why she didn't spend so much time with me then, but it's okay. The only
thing I'm happy about ever since Nephrite died was that she started
spending more time with me and in a way our friendship became stronger
than before. It's like she knows that I know who she is but doesn't want
to admit it, and I'd keep it that way.' Thought Naru.
Naru felt bad when everybody was feeling miserable because
she wasn't happy, so she made a vow a year ago to return to her normal
life. 'Ah, a year since Nephrite died, it felt like a thousand years
without him,' thought Naru. Every smile she ever smiled gave her so
much pain and every minute that passed felt like long years of torture.
She couldn't hold back the tears that threatened to fall. 'I've tried
so hard not to cry this past year, it wouldn't hurt to cry once,'
something at the back of her mind said.
She looked up at the sky as she tried to hold back but couldn't,
and she cried for hours, for every smile she faked, for every laugh she
attempted but most of all just for missing him.
"Oh, Nephrite where are you? I need you so much!" she cried out
loud, her body shaking with her broken sobs.
"Don't cry my love, I'm here."
Naru stiffened as she felt his presence and heard his
familiar voice in her room. "That's it! I'm loosing it, I must be
going crazy."
"Naru-chan, silly as always. I'm here, I've always been
here. I never left your side. Look at me Naru."
Naru turned around and found a ghostly image of Nephrite
standing there looking her in the eyes, smiling.
"Oh, Nephrite! You're here, please Nephrite don't leave me!
Please dear God don't let this be a dream" cried Naru as she felt
happiness, yet fear if this was another cruel dream or some figment
of her imagination.
"I won't Naru, I'll never let you go again. I've missed you
so much," said Nephrite as he inched forward placing his hand on her
face, softly caressing her cheek.
"I'm so happy! I can't believe you're really here, please stay
with me!" cried Naru as she shivered from a cold wind on her face which
was supposed to be his hand. "Even if you stay in this form, I don't
mind, as long as you'll stay with me."
"Oh Naru, I won't leave, but I don't have much time, I have to
tell you something important, I just came to tell you not to give up hope.
It saddens my heart to see you crying that way."
"But you said you won't leave me! Why are you going away? What
is going on Nephrite, tell me!" Naru cried as she felt fear overcome her
happiness and she braced herself for him to disappear at any minute.
"I won't leave you again but for now I'll have to go soon before
my other self wakes and I won't be able to tell you what you need to know.
Now don't ask questions and just listen," said Nephrite as he silenced her
before she asked questions. "You see Naru, I have a body just like yours
except that I don't remember anything from what happened. Yes Naru my love,
I am alive. I was reborn to be with you, except that I can't remember
anything at all. There is only a small part of mind that remembers all
that happened. That is why I came when I heard you crying for me, I used
some of my strength so I can generate this apparition so I could see you.
I couldn't take it, I had to come to you and tell you not to lose hope.
I can't stand seeing you sad my love.
"How I was reborn is another story but to make it short I was
brought back with Sailor Moon's wish. When she defeated Queen Metallia
before she died she made a wish on the gizunshou that everything will be
the same as it used to be except for the Negaverse and for me to be
with you, Naru! Yes, thanks to Sailor Moon, we can be together, the only
problem is that my mind can't remember you. It needs some time until it
can regain it's memories. But you don't need to fear my love, that will
come soon."
Naru stood there too shocked to speak, despite her happiness she
felt that this wasn't real she couldn't believe it. "Nephrite is this true,
you're alive?"
"Yes Naru, I'm here and soon we will be together. Haven't you
ever wondered why your friend Usagi has this sad and guilty look on her
face when she is around you? Well she is Sailor Moon, I guess you know
that already, but she thought her wish didn't work and it only brought back
her friends to life and not me, that's why she was so guilty. So, she
thought the wish must have gone wrong, she doesn't know I'm alive."
"Oh, Usagi, I must tell her tomorrow! I want to tell the world!
I'm the luckiest person in the world to have you!"
"So am I, my love," laughed Nephrite. "Here take this, Naru," said
Nephrite as he handed her a beautiful silver necklace with an emerald green
oval stone pendant embedded in silver.
Naru gasped as she looked at the necklace. "Nephrite it's beautiful,
thank you."
"I'm glad you liked it, my love, it's a nephrite stone, so you
could know I'm near you until we are united once again. But I must go now,
I'm starting to fade and you must go to bed."
"Nephrite, no don't go!" cried Naru, she didn't want him
to leave yet.
"I'm sorry Naru, but I must, if it was within my hands, I would
have wanted to stay with you forever. Please don't cry, I can't stand seeing
you in so much pain."
Naru looked up and thought she was being selfish, after all he is
alive and they would be untied soon, she wiped her tears away and smiled as
she looked up at him. "I'm sorry Nephrite, I didn't want to see you go away
just yet. But now I have renewed hope and I'll wait for the day we'll be together
again. Please Nephrite hold me before you go."
Without any hesitation, Nephrite carried her in his arms and sat
on the chair with her in his lap and her head cradled on his chest as she
listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart. Naru felt cold all over as she
forgot he was but a ghostly image, yet he seemed solid like a human. She put
away all those thoughts away as she didn't care as long as she was in his arms.
The warmth of their hearts and the love they share would keep her warm. She sighed
happily as they both sat together in utter bliss, holding each other.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sunlight shone down on Naru's face as she stirred from her sleep.
She opened her eyes and found herself in her bed, she gripped the sheets
as she remembered what happened yesterday. 'Where did he go?' she thought.
'I wasn't sleeping in my bed, unless……..unless it was all a dream!' she
cried. Tears shone in her eyes as she smiled sadly, 'It was a beautiful
dream, it felt so real.' she shook her head desperately trying to walk up
and realize he is gone and was gone for a year now.
She got up out of her bed and opened her window as she let the
sun shine through her room. She sighed heavily as she turned to lean against
the window when a green light shone as the sun reflected against her
necklace. Naru gasped as she looked at the necklace, "It wasn't a dream!
It's real, Nephrite is alive!" She couldn't believe it, she felt so happy
that her heart would burst from happiness. She ran to the bathroom to get
ready for the day, she planned on going out to the mall with Usagi and her
friends. Now and only now can she really smile and feel happy like never before.
All she needed was time and time she'll get. She didn't mind the wait much
because the stone really was magical, she felt him around her and heard his
voice, after all it is a Nephrite stone. She sighed happily as the stone hung
from the necklace right above her heart. Yes, they only need time and soon
they'll be back together again. She smiled and said "You're always be in
my heart…….."
The End.
