80. Pandora's Box
Words: 245
She wondered in which moment the evil of the world was released. It had waited patiently, for some nymph or fiend to set them free. She didn't know who it was, or why they'd waited till now. Why not destroy the Senshi when they were young? It would have made their fight so much easier.
She always debated in her mind whether or not the youmas were a blessing or curse. If they'd never come, she liked to think that she still would have met the rest of senshi, regardless of their duty now. But she'd have a normal life. She would have gone on being the friendly girl in school.
But she wouldn't have had the courage to even talk to Mamoru. She wouldn't have made the effort to run into him, or the confidence to talk back to him like she did. She wouldn't have spent her mornings making sure they'd bump into each other, just so she could catch his scent. She most likely wouldn't have even noticed him
And she'd never get saved on a nightly basis by Tuxedo Kamen. She'd never feel so warm in his embrace, or day dream about their nightly encounters turning into something more. Could she really give that up?
She smiled, pulling her book bag back up on her shoulder. She didn't care in which moment Pandora's Box was opened, but there was no turning back now.
And she didn't think she'd want to anyway.
