Destiny, by Kristii
-----------------------
This story is based loosely on an idea from Ayashi no Ceres--that
Hino Rei and Mars are, in fact, totally separate entities, who just
happen to be sharing a body.
And like Aya and Ceres (or two people sharing rooms/lockers/just about
anything...), there's just one little problem with this arrangement:
what happens when Mars' duty and Rei's desires point in separate
directions?

So this is it: the final battle.
God, how bitter this shall make our victory...
I can't ask this of Mars, I can't--not now, of all times. I
can't ask her to break one set of vows for another--not now, when I
have seen the horrors that will befall her; not now, when I know so
well that it will break her...
She has been out of a fuku for seven years, God--seven years!
I cannot make this her first call to duty since that day she left us
for America. For seven years, she has lived free of that curse called
duty--entered Harvard, gotten married, assumed control over the
conglomerate that is her mother's last legacy; now, after seven years
of bliss, I must shatter her world, bring her back from the illusions
of normalcy…
God... What a bitter irony: I still can't believe it. The
"champions of love and justice" must, in this last crucial moment,
abandon all pretenses and play dirty to preserve humanity...
I'm so sorry, Mars. I'm sorry. I wish there was some way to
prevent this, but... all the powers of Pluto cannot change the course
of destiny; all the wealth of your mother's company cannot buy a
different future. This is Fate, Mars--the three sisters, jealous. You
should have known from the beginning that the Senshi must live
lonely; trying to cheat your destiny would only bring their wrath
upon you, with a vengeance...
So this is it, Mars: the last battle--your battle.
I'm sorry, Mars, I'm sorry...
