Remember Me
By Dream Goddess00
Ami sighed as she pulled the simple keychain from her
purse. With a jingle and a twist, the door was open, and Ami
tiredly walked inside. Setting down a large stack of books on the
side table, she headed towards her room totally oblivious to the
grandure of the house, with its plush carpets and its cathedral
celings. She had lived there all of her life and, like all things, even
a mansion becomes unoticed after a while.
Subcontiously, her dainty, pale hand slid up to her left
shoulder as she paused infront of the refigorator. As she pulled
out a pre-made club sandwich, she presistently kneaded her
shoulder until the tention at the base of her neck faded away.
It had been a long day, and she was glad to be home.
Uncerimoniously, she went through her daily routine of making
something to eat for her mom when she returned before grabing
her book of choice and heading to her bedroom.
Her room, which was fairly well kept, contained a single
twin sized bed, a desk with a top of the line computer, and a very
large, overstuffed bookcase. There were a few nicknacks, including
a miniture cat figuring for good luck, a framed poem written by the
American poet Robert Frost, and a large, beautiful painting of a
serene lake in Paris her father had painted for her. It had been one
of the birthday present she had ever recived from him. Tracing the
water lily border with her index finger, Ami stopped to look at the
work of art. It was the only thing she had of her father, other than
the occasional "hello, I'm alive... I miss you" card she kept in her
desk draw. Closing her deep blue eyes she sighed and shook her
head softly before plopping onto her bed. Aranging her pillows and
setting her sandwich on the nightstand next to her, Ami opened her
book to the first page. She only read the first two pages before her
mind began to wander. Sighing loudly she frustratedly brushed her deep
blue haif from her eyes as she tried to read again. It didn't work.
Ami's eyebrows furrowed as she tried another tact.
Loudly she read, "The science of proxemics demonstrates how man's
use of space..." she stopped and stared blankly at the page before
finally closing the book and giving up. She couldn't believe what was
bothering her. She wasn't even sure why... But it was, and it all led
to the conversation earlier this morning at Rei's...
****
It was 10:00 am on a Saturday and, as usual, the whole
gang was at Rei's to discuss, well... nothing. This costom had been
sugjested by Luna after Galaxia's conquest inorder to 'stay sharp'
during what Usagi lovingly called "normal teenage time." And so, the
girls met every Saturday morning to just, discuss.
The room inside the shrine was crowded as usual with
Usagi reading Rei's manga, Minako humming an old Three Lights tune,
Ami studying for yet another college entrance exam, and Rei listening
to Makoto explain how she made the cookies Rei just happen to be
eating.
Suddenly, Minako stopped humming when she came to a
verse about love and wanting and whispeared softly, "Hey minna, ya
know, we need boyfreinds... Someone to live for, to die for. Like
they say, 'better to die for love, than to never loved at all.'"
Rei looked up as Artemis muttered somthing about the
quote being wrong... again and started to say something sly. However,
she stopped when she noticed the serious look in Minako's eyes. She
really wanted a boyfreind, not a fling or crush, a real boyfreind.
Makoto stopped her cooking lesson and smiled, "Yeah...
maybe, maybe somewhere out there is my old boyfreind... maybe he
wants a second chance." she finished, her eyes slightly watery.
Ami looked up at Makoto, truly interested in the conversation
but not wanting to let on. She had always wondered who Makoto's 'old
boyfreind' really was. After all, she had never mentioned a relationship
that was really serious... yet she seemed so sad.
Usagi, seeing Makoto's declining mood, decided to make the
conversation more light hearted. Sarcasticly she said, "Yeah Mako-chan
or maybe someone who looks like him will come along."
Usagi, Rei, and even Makoto laughed at the comment, but
Minako wouldn't bend. "I'm serious, we all should have someone like
Usagi-chan's Mamoru... You guys deserve it. What do you think
Rei-chan?"
Rei looked at her friend and a part of her screamed to say
she wanted to be loved. But stubbronly she resisted, "If you will
remember Mina-chan, I believe boys are a waste of time."
Minako frowned as she wispeared, "You don't mean that.
Everybody wants ther knight in shining armor."
Usagi smiled, "A Tuxedo Kamen..."
Makoto's eyes became distant as she heared what Usagi had
said. In a dreamy, distant voice she said, "What if... what if we all had men,
ya know someone from the past that also came back to life... Like Mamoru.
What if they were ment for us?"
Ami looked up sharply as her heart skipped a beat and everything
slowed down... A strong feeling of deja vu passed over her, and in a second,
it was gone. She looked at Rei whose eyes had a dull look to them. Minako's
eyes became watery as she remembered what an advasary had told her at
the end of her carrer as Salior V. Makoto's eyes came back into focus as
her mouth opened in shock of what she had said.
Numbly she wispeared, "No, no impossible right?"
Rei, as if trying to forget a bad premonition nodded feverntly and
said in a husky voice, "Couldn't be."
Minako closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. She hadn't said
anything else the whole meeting.
****
Ami sighed shakely and she remembered what Makoto had said.
She couldn't put her finger on why it had bothered her so... but it had.
Slowly, she closed her eyes and lowered her head onto her pillow. What if...
she thought. No, they would of been found by now. But, but the outers were
found only a year ago... who's to say they wouldn't show up now?
Ami bit her lip as she rolled onto her side and hugged her pillow.
In the back of her mind a little voice wispeared, "But you've already met
them..." Ami's eyes snapped open again, shaken by the though. What could
it mean? Troubled, Ami closed her eyes and slowly began to dream...
****
The mist stood thick and dense, a light blue color that seemed to
fade into the ground itself. Ami stood in the blue darkness alone, the
faint sound of the ocean in the distance.
"Hello?" Ami whispeared, not wanting to ruin the angelic calm
that came with the scilence. She was alone, and had no idea where she was...
but somehow, she was not afraid.
The wind wisked through the darkness and the mist swirled, starting
to fade. In the distance, a shady figure was seen, still covered in the mist.
For some reason Ami's pulse quickened, "Hello?" she said, louder
this time, still not wishing to shout.
"Ammii...." the wind seemed to moan as it blew past her, gentley
lifting her short blue locks off her face.
Tears suddenly sprung into Ami's eyes as she looked towards the
willowy figure. She knew, just knew that if she could just get to that person
everything would make sense... Everything would be at peace.
"Who are you?" she shouted this time to get her voice above the wind.
The figure turned and, though she could not see thier face, she knew
he smiled. Ami blinked, he. She knew it was a man... But who? In her
urgentcy,
she started towards the figure, her pace quickening with every step. Who? Who
was he? Her mind screamed as she raced towards the figure, her breath becoming
sharp and shallow.
Suddenly, the figure flickered, causing Ami to stop. She shook her head
in denial as she watched it fade away.
She bit her lip, "No, no wait!" she cried at the air as the mist began to
thicken once more.
The mist settled and all was quiet untill a voice came from behind.
"Ami..." it, a man, whispeared in a soft masculine voice. You could
almost hear the emotion of loss in his words.
Ami blinked as she realized that tears had been running down her
face.
"My sweet Ami..." the voice started again, "Do you miss me?"
"Who?" she whispeared as her eyebrows furrowed, "Who are you?"
"I am part of you..." it whispeared back in a loving, gentle tone.
Ami shook her head violently as she swung around to face the strange
voice. There was no one there.
"You don't remember." The voice said, once again directly
behind her.
Ami's heart twisted, "Remember?" she whispeared, trying to cope with
the feeling of knowing something you just can't quite remember. She blinked,
remembering something the voice had said, "What do you mean, 'part of me'? It,
it's not possible. A totally illogical concept."
The voice laughed sweetly, lovingly. "I thought I taught you that not
all things are logical."
Ami's eyes narrowed, not wanting to understand. "What do you mean?
Everything has some logical value."
"Not love." it said simpley.
Ami's voice wavered, "L-love?"
"Yes... we are one; we are soulmates."
The last word hung in the air as Ami stared at nothing. It was quiet for
some time. Slowly Ami said in a whispearing, almost defeated voice, "You lie."
The voice replied softly, "No. You know. Somewhere inside of you,
deep inside of you, you know. A person inside of you knows. One lost long
ago... The Ami I loved, the Ami I love... You are what she used to be, before
she knew the "logic" of love. Please, please Ami, my love, my heart... my soul,
look into yourself and remember. Remember love. Remember me..." and with that the
voice faded away with one item left shimering in the mist.
Ami's eyes spotted the object in and slowly, carefully she walked
towards it. It was a small, green stone. Carfully, she bent down and
picked it up, caressing it with her hands. Ami frowned, where had she seen it
before? Rubbing the rock with her thumb, Ami closed her eyes. Suddenly, the image
of a man flashed before her and she knew. Ami's eyes streamed once again with tears
as her unocuppied hand flew to her moulth to muffle her sob...
In the wind, a faint whispear could be heared, "I will return to you..."
***
Ami woke up with a start, her eyes wet with tears... She grabbed her
pillow fiercely as she contomplated her dream.
"That voice..." she whispeared to break the deffening silence. Where had
she heared it before?
Ami shook her head as she remembered the end of the dream. She had
known who he was... she saw him. But now his figure was a blurr and the
olny thing she could remember were his last words lingering in the wind,
'I will return to you...'
