The Other Side of Love – Fear
Dangers of Change
He had grown numb to most of it, brushing it aside as another attempt on his or her life by another evil being trying to take over the world, or eliminate the human race. It was fight after fight, win after win, and save after save. He was tired, but he would always fight for and with her, he feared for her life if he didn't show up one night.
She could fight for herself - he was sure of that. But it helped that he knew she was all right. It helped him sleep, even as images of another beauty plagued his rare moments of comfort.
This night was different. This youma was different. This fight was different.
He had arrived earlier than usual, trying in vain to locate the youma's weakest point. As he pushed through to get to Sailor Moon, he was thrown back. With the throbbing smack of his skull against hard pavement he fell, encompassed by her scream of pain.
No longer was it a win, and no longer was there a save.
Hours later he stood at her window, perched on a tick branch and peering in at her still body. He stood watching in the shadows, her final scream echoing through him at every moment. If he had just been – no, he had been early and there was nothing that could be changed.
He clenched his chest in pain, his fears playing out before him.
He monitored the young girl from afar, bandages wrapped tightly around her, still under anaesthetics. Nothing could calm his fears, especially the knowledge of her true identity.
