The Dance
PG-13. A Rei/Usagi angst fic. AU fic. I was writing this the same time as 'Death of Relight' so no happy ending. I'm doing a team Mafia fic with some friends so this is kinda important to me but be honest. I love honesty! Life of Idols is soooo nearly finished I could scream. Also I'm part of phoenixdreams 'Slave Island' an X-men Evolution fic. My guy is Ritch so please read it. (Shameless advertising)
Enjoy!….Or not @-@
Usagi pulled the release pin back and opened the chambers to her Magnum.
She then slid a golden bullet into one of the chambers and turned to the next one.
Soon all six were in place and with a flick of the wrist it locked into place.
She put the gun in a holster inside of her full-length white jacket.
She took a few more items off the old table and left the shabby apartment.
The cool night air hit her as she left the run down building and straight into the BMW.
'I'm going to erase you, Hino Rei' she thought bitterly to herself.
12 blocks away, a black BMW parked under a dim lamppost.
Rei slipped the clip into the butt of the gun and with a sharp pull loaded it.
She placed it in her belt after putting on the safety and started up the car.
'Usagi, nothing personal but I'm going to kill you' she sighed mentally.
The two cars pulled up on opposite sides of a pier, secluded and quiet.
The White Angel and the Red Dragon stood face to face at the two ends.
They stood there like that, staring at each other, preparing for the dance.
The dance, the name given to a game of life and death, where only one Elite will survive. Its name came from the fact that when that trigger is pulled and first shot is fired, the gunners felt like they were dancing to an unheard tune. Moving gracefully to avoid bullets, displaying skill in their shots and the rush of adrenaline before that final beautiful flash before one dies. It is unavoidable for it is in Elite members blood, to seek their own death as beautifully as possible.
It had been arranged like this so the dance can be done right, with love and honour. Rei sat on the bonnet of her car, slowly taking out a cigarette and lighting it between her ruby lips as Usagi frowned slightly. She knew how she hated her to smoke, period.
"You look well, no surprise there" Serena asked, genuinely glad. Rei took a long drag.
"Unlike the others, you hear what happened?" she breathed out with the smoke, referring to the pairs lost comrades. Usagi sighed as she removed her shades. She looked up at Rei with crystal blue eyes before answering.
"Ami got ambushed, she gave a short but smart dance. I'll miss her" she replied wistfully but Rei detected the confidence in the last sentence, that she would win.
"Me too, Makoto, Mina?" she asked, also adding her confidence.
"Had to deal with Mina myself . . . it was a wild and stupid dance. No regrets," Usagi said in monotone. 'Wild' meaning without a beautiful ending and 'stupid' being for the wrong reasons. You can't feel for someone dancing like that. She waited for a few moments before continuing.
"Makoto went out in a blaze of glory, took the bastards with her. The others?" she looked to see her fellow stub the fag end out with her heel. She looked out across the sea, lit up in the moonlight.
"Hotaru went off the tune, she was dealt with," she said simply, for nothing more was needed to be said. Being off the tune meant one thing, insanity.
"Haruka and Michiru had a wonderful duet but Michiru died in her lovers arms before she herself took her own life. It was tragic" she said wryly, how both lovers die together.
"Setsuna died in a crossfire so that means we are the only ones left" she finished with a sigh. Small talk and respect for fellow dancers now aside they moved a few feet closer, legs spread and hands ready.
"How much am I worth?" Rei asked with a smirk and her partner couldn't help but smile back.
"For the people you're protecting . . .a cool 300 million" she exclaimed serenely, nearly laughing at the cute pout she saw nearly hidden by the darkness. The last time she saw that pout was in Paris, after dinner, after coffee, after 'that'. A blush tinted her cheeks.
"Am I that cheap these days? I'm getting paid 400 greenbacks for you" she laughed, noticing her former lovers blush, but inside it made the task at hand that much harder. But business was the code they followed.
"You're being screwed" she simply replied.
The two looked each other for the last real time. Both were wearing long leather coats, pants and boots in red and white. Rei studied Usagis face and nearly cried, so pale it glowed in the white light giving her an unearthly beauty. Her silver hair tied back in a French braid. Usagi choked as the moon behind her brought out the gorgeous purple tints in Rei's raven black hair, like her eyes.
"Well we're a dying breed, that means you get what you can" she replied to the earlier statement simply. The last of the Elites.
"It's like Highlander, there can only be one" she joked back, though it was sadly true. The White Angel pulled back her coat to reveal her Magnum. Rei swallowed.
"We always knew it might happen" she murmured, barley auditable. Usagi nodded slowly as the Red Dragon showed her weapon now, the beginnings of the Dance coming to them.
"I liked my ignorance back then. Shall we?" Usagi asked with a last loving smile, a single crystal tear escaping her eye. A chilling sea wind cooled the tears that Rei didn't know she cried but she didn't care, one way or another she would die tonight either by a gold bullet, or by a broken heart.
"Let's dance!" she shouted, unable to bear it any longer and Usagi thanked for staring the most beautiful dance of her life. They drew their guns….. And gun fire rang out.
To the dance, a eternal bond and love never spoken, but played to.
Well did it bring out the Kleenex?
I promise the next Rei/Usagi will be happy, happy happy! BUT I STILL NEED A PAIRING FOR MY RELIGHT SEQUEL!!!!!SEIYA WITH WHO?!?!?YATEN USAGI OR HARUKA????…………Gomen nasai. Review plueezzzzze!!
