1 Prologue
Chu Chu:
The sun rises each day, showering us with warmth, and then sets to make way for the night. Then, for 12 hours, we wait in darkness until mother sky gives birth to that glorious light again. Every one gets the same amount, no more, no less. But, don't you wish that you could have your own private sunshine? Something you could keep bottled up and all to yourself? To enjoy without anyone around?
This is what it seems like to be loved. You have a special "sunshine" that is all yours that lights the very abyss of the heart. They fill you with joy until you want to just pull them into your arms and show them how much you care.
I have had no personal experience with this love thing, but being small allows me access to places where you humans can't see me so I've watched couples when they think they are alone. Soaked up what they say to one another. "I'm sorry I hurt you sweetheart. Can you ever forgive me? I love you, really I do. Don't leave me." Is love really that important to you humans that you will expend energy fighting to keep it? It seems to be anyway. Often I wonder what it would be like to be loved like that. I'm not talking about the love one has for a pet (which I know) but that unconditional I-would-die-for-you love. Something like what the prince Utena and my master Anthy have. I see the way Utena looks at her, like Anthy's very presence makes her want to…melt or something.
Sometimes I really am jealous of them, of what they've become. I mean, I love Anthy because she protects me and takes care of me, but lately it seems like maybe I… really love her. I've heard humans talk about that "feeling" they get when their in love. That nearly indescribable, light as the air feeling that brings them to their knees with want. I think I've felt that. Like when Anthy tucked me into bed with her the other night and I was lying on the spot just below her neck, I was suddenly aware of things. Like, her face framed by the moonlight from the open window. Her hair spread out on top of the pillow, small wisps of it brushing my face. Her heart beating rhythmically in time with my own. It just felt so right. I felt like I never wanted to be apart from her again. Just her and me. Together forever.
