We Have Eternity





It was a beautiful day. The sun shined down through my window. I gazed out into the light and wondered if it would be just another day. I guessed it to be.

I could hear children laughing down the block and knew Rini and Hotaru were probably among them. As hard as it is to admit, I missed being able to take care of them.

With them, I hadn't been lonely. Now it seems like all I do is sit and watch, just like I did at the time gates but with out the uniform.

I heard the door open and the sound of Haruka and Michiru's voices. It makes me sad to watch them. They have one another, like Serena has Darien, and all the Inners have another. Not like me, I am alone.

Sometimes, I'm loath to admit that I'm jealous. I really am.

I wish sometimes, in the deepest recesses of my soul that I had someone. And then I see him. I secretly wished him to notice me. But he instead saw our princess.

She is the one I feel the most jealously towards. She has so many ones that love her, and she had to go after him.

But she's my princess, and the scouts and I love her. So I would never hurt her. Why the outers and I even fought him and his comrades to protect her.

Now I regret that, for he shall never see me. My eyes wander back to the window and to my surprise I see him. He's walking up the path to our house. Oh my, I can't seem to calm my heart. It must be doing a mile per minute.

No, I tell myself. He's just here to challenge Haruka. That's it.

But still, an unknown force draws me to the door and I stand there waiting for him. He comes slowing, meeting my eyes. Our eyes never leave one another as he comes to stand right in front of me.

"Seiya." It's a whisper from my lips, a plea, begging him to see me.

He brings a finger to my lips to silence me. "Hush Setsuna. I know. I really know."

He kisses me then. I feel myself melt against him. My arms slide around his neck, my eyes close.

For the first time in eternity, I am not alone.
