Violent flashes steal my soul;
she walks down the hall.
His angry ruby blood mixes with my silvery eclipse blood on my hands;
her steps are portrayed with that of a delicate marionette.
The choice had to be made;
tears spill from her kaleidoscopic-iridescent eyes.
Eternity was at stake, her or me.
her hand shot up and frantically wiped the rueful tears away.
I choose her.
carmine smudges polished her snowy plains.
Did you think I would give her up?
her hand traveled down the side of her body.....
She and I are one.
creating more and more crimson marks.
She is all I have left.
she floats through the air.
I will never give her up.
her elegant body hits the floor.
Never.
she gasps as she tries to crawl.
Never...
she leans forward on the statue.
I gave you up.
frost colored vital fluid pours from her body.
I loved you once.
she hears him.
but, you've violated me.
he comes.
you will not win now.
his bloody ruby feet author stained footprints on the ancient marble.
you have no power over me.
she smiles as he slowly but surely makes his way over to her.
I will win, my love.
his verdant irises flashed with great pain and determination.
sweet defeat.
he falls meters from her.
farewell; llewreaf
his emerald eyes turn olive.
finally.
enraged blood curls around him like lost kittens.
Eternity won...
she looks toward the twilight and the moonshine.
sweet Eternity won.
her body goes stiff.
guess what...
her rainbow-prism eyes fade into silver.
checkmate.

Beep…
Beep… Beep…
Beep…Beep… Beep…
Fiery pale forests of auburn fluttered open to reveal striking star-jealous-gray eyes. Her long flaming eyelashes matched her ocean of tangled pale amber waves and curls that lay in a halo around her pale heart shape face. Pain charged through her whole body as she weakly tried to move. Strong hands gentle pushed her back into her bed and she resisted at first, but gave way as the lovely hands stroked her forehead, brushing away the vines of fiery scarlet and bronzed locks. Her pallid eyelids fell shut once more to the comforting darkness of sleep.
The fall.
Heero's eyes.
Golden betrayal.
Sorrow that marked his eyes.
"Goddess of the Balance, somebody does love you…"
* * *
She was in pain.
A melody entered into her foggy mind.
"A gay maiden, so true and fair.
The skylight ambers caught in her hair.
To forever to hold and forever to grasp.
This serene seraph, tears upon the imperial moonbeam clasp.
Fight with all of your might.
Take flight into the darkest of night.
All you gain,
Will be in vain.
Angel of the eternity, so true and fair.
The moonlight embers caught in this eternal goddess's hair."
It was an eternal poem of her, these memories of this poem.
Memories…
She swam in hurtful frightening memories, causing the curse known as tears to tickle down her cheeks.
One goal was in mind.
Vengeance
* * *
Sere groaned as she opened her eyes to the sharp light in the bright white room. 'Am I dead?' she thought, 'as if I can die anyway.' Looking up she notice an I.V. bag and it hit her; she was in the hospital.
She stared up at the cracks in the old ceiling; each starting and ending. Just like the memories in her life. Her life was just one endless mindless crack.
Looking around, to her surprise she saw Heero asleep in an armchair, with Wufei across from him and he was drooling in his sleep that caused Sere to smirk. Trying to sit up she groaned as her weak aching body protested against that. She slowly lowered herself to the soft bed and turned her eyes to the door as it started to open. A young blond nurse came in and smiled gentle at Sere. "Well, your awake! Wonderful!" she exclaimed in a warm voice that Sere weakly smiled at.
Wufei started to wake up from the nurse's outburst, as well as Heero. The nurse checked over Sere and said, "The doctor will be here in about ten minutes."
As the nurse left, Sere glanced over at Heero and Wufei. Both had serious expression on their faces, Sere regarded them with a puzzled look as she asked, "Why am I in the hospital?"
"Sere, you don't recall what happen, with MacDaniel?" asked Wufei as he pushed his chair closer to her bed.
Sere looked at him as the memories came back from the hits and near sexual abuse. "I am sorry, that you got mixed up with that…" she replied.
"Onna!" nearly shouted Wufei, "You could have been killed!"
She nodded as she heard the door open and in came Madame Prince. Worry written all over face as gazed at Sere. Tears started to stream down her face as she pushed passed Heero and Wufei to hug Sere. Heero nodded to Wufei as they left the room. As Sere patted her mentor's back, her gaze never left Heero. His eerie blue shaded eyes flickered back to her for one moment and he started.
Her eyes.
Her eyes, as they locked onto his, the irises were rainbow. That of all of the colors of the endless rainbow tinted into one another. The inner iris the delicate baby rose of a cherry blossom and to that of the very outer ring of richest shadowy violet that any one could ever imagine. (* see note at the bottom)
She blinked.
Then nothing, back to the lovely star-beam silver that he was used to seeing now, she turned back from him to the woman that was crying in his lap. He remember back to history class and how that of the teacher explained.
"The angel of Eternity was true and fair. With that of rainbow-prism eyes, that would enchant you with one glance. Or that of her unusual snowy-silver white hair, that fell around her in a vas jungle of curl vines and wavy locks. Her pale moonlight skin, brought out the remarkable colors in her eyes and passion in her heart. This messiah was always and will be a light and darkness to remember…"
Heero shut the door behind, her eyes. They held so much pain and so much madness. He was sucked into her, the mysterious depths and inner insanity of them.
For one moment in his life, the Perfect Solider known as Heero Yuy shuddered.
* * *
Sere stroked Madame Prince's hair. "Emilia…" she whispered.
Emilia looked up through her tears and snapped, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I couldn't," Sere whispered as she lay back down on her bed, "He was going to hunt someone down. I lied in saying that I knew who it was, but I didn't know."
"Sere…" Emilia started as she stared into Sere's blank eyes, "No matter what happens to the last of the Megami-Tenshi, you must live. Revenge upon those who turned on you. You are our last hope; Charon, Chibi-Sere, Elizabeth, all of them gave their lives so that you can live."
"I…can't…" Sere choked, "I'm so afraid…"
"There will be a time that you can't give in and that you will give into it for the balance," Emilia explained, "Now sleep, my little angel."
Sere tried to complain, but she started to journey to the land of slumber. Emilia pulled the thin blanket up to her chest and kissed her forehead as a mother would a sleeping infant. Slowly backing away, she watched from the door, the sleeping princess that was in front of her. She whispered, with tears in her eyes, "Sayonara, my tenshi, I know that this will be the last time I see you. My end will not be vain, but in the beginning of the era in which you will gain glory in ways that you cannot imagine."
Emilia exited out of the room quietly and started to exit the building. Upon coming to the elevator, she saw the two men along with three new ones sitting in the waiting area. As she pushed to button for down, she looked over her shoulder and saw the eerie blue eyed boy staring at her. As she slid inside the elevator, she called to Heero, "Heero! Take care of my tenshi!"
Heero's eyes widened in surprise at her knowing his name. He started to get up, but the elevator doors were already shut and by the time he got to the front entrance she would be gone. Ignoring the other's stares, he went back into Sere's room. Leaning near the window, he watched over her as she slept.
"Kami-sama, what have I gotten myself into," he grumbled and smirked when he whispered, "Mission accepted."
* * *
Emilia emotionless gaze swept through the park and the moon reflected off of her coffee colored hair, almost making a dark gold sun shaded in the young night. Blue transparent silk covered her body, in a toga like dress from her top breast line to her knees. Silver anklets and bracelets made soft chimes as she walked through the park alone. Silver necklaces glittered on her neck, as also the silver chain tiara that decorated her forehead. A beautiful sapphire hung from the tiara, matching the endless rainbow of blues that marked her toga around her body. Her garment was the never ending sea and her body was the land.
She kneed down on the concrete, bowed her head, and her thick tan hair fell away from the back of her to reveal her smooth cream colored neck. "I'm ready…" she stated in a low icy voice.
The voice of man came near her and laughed as he marked, "No fight, the others fought before they died."
"They did not know the value of their death until they died," she clarified.
"And what was so important about their deaths, Emilia," he asked coldly, as he glared down at her with golden eyes.
"Rewriting of Revaluations, MacDaniel, rewriting about everything…" she whispered, and tears in her gray-cerulean eyes.
"It means nothing!" MacDaniel screamed, as he raised a glittering object over her head.
THACK!
Emilia's lifeless head rolled over to his feet and her lifeless body crumbled to the ground. MacDaniel picked up Emilia's head by her hair and his golden blade shined in the faint moonlight and was stained crimson. "I did love her," he told to the head in his hands, "Fate and Density are apart, Emilia, I did love her. She had to die."
He smirked he brought his swords to his lips and licked the still fresh blood off his blade, "I guess that I have to leave a present for Sere. Eh, Emilia?" he asked the head as he kissed it's dead lips.
* * *
"Heero, for Kami-sama sake! Put me down!" Sere shouted as Heero carried her into their apartment.
"Hnn…" he grunted as Sere protested in his arms, "You have a sprained ankle and a head bruise. The doctor told me to make sure to lie down. Besides, you finished your finals. We have the next four weeks off, for Christmas."
Sere stopped and just glared at him as he gentle laid her on her bed. "Why did you help me?" she asked as he pushed her onto her bed to pull the covers over her thin from.
"I promised your friend, I would," he grumbled.
"Emilia…" Sere whispered as sleep over came her.
Heero watched over her as she slept, her pale sleeping in a dreamless sleep.
'Kami-sama, he was a perfect solider. Screw emotions," he mental kicked him self for caring for this stupid girl.!
Knocking at the door shook him out his thoughts. Glancing back at Sere, he went to answer the door. A short man stood there with a medium sized box and stated, "Package for a Ms. Serenity Tenshi."
'Serenity, eh?" "She asleep now, I'll sign for it," Heero said.
"Alright then pal. Here," the man said as he handed Heero a clipboard.
After signing the paper, he took the box and put it on the table. He would show it to Sere later. Going back to the door, he found the man gone, but Wufei and Trowa coming towards him. "How is Sere?" Wufei asked.
"Sleeping," Heero said well raising an eyebrow at Wufei, to why he didn't say onna.
Trowa nodded before saying, "Do know of Emilia Prince?"
Heero thought for a moment then asked, "The dancing teacher?"
Wufei nodded, "It seems that she was Sere's guardian."
"Was?" Heero asked.
"They found her body in the park earlier this morning, without her head," explained Trowa, "it also looked like her body was sexual abused. They still haven't found MacDaniel Yuki and the fingerprints match his."
'Emilia,' That what was Sere whispered before she fell asleep. "She was the one at the hospital last night," Heero replied as he narrowed his eyes, "Call Quatre and Duo, we need them here now."
Trowa nodded as he used the phone. Heero walked down the hall, to Sere's room and entered into it. She was starting to wake up, and looked at Heero, "Heero, what's going on?" asking in a weak voice.
"Nothing," he said in a gentle voice, "Do want to watch a movie?"
She smiled a weak smile and said, "Yes, I would like. Thank you for helping me. I am sorry that I was so rude."
"I was to, I'm going to carry you so won't put on your ankle," he replied as he slipped the thin blanket around her and carried her into the living room.
"Arigato, He-kun…" she said softly and she giggled as she saw his eyebrow raise up.
"How about "Message in a Bottle?" he asked.
Sere nodded as he put her on the coach, Wufei and Trowa looked in awe at the gentler side of Heero. This was Heero Yuy for crying out loud!
Making sure she was nice and comfy, Heero answered the door and let Quatre and Duo in. "Hey, babe!" called a cheerful Duo.
Sere tried to glare, but could only show a tiny smile. "It is good to see that you are doing well Sere," answered Quatre.
"Yes, I am feeling a little better, but I am still a little weak," she nodded as Heero put in the video tape.
"Sere," came Heero's gruff voice, "Well be on the balcony, if you need anything. We just have to talk about some work situations. I was going to leave you in your room, but this way I can hear you better."
"Heero," she protested, "I can take care of myself, would you stop worrying about me!"
He grunted and led his small team out onto the balcony. Shutting the doors, his eyes never left Sere. Sere started to watch to the movie and about ten minutes into it started she was thirsted. Being the stubborn girl that she was, decided that she was going to get one herself.
Slowly getting off the coach, she leisurely limped over to the sink. Her body protesting all the way, yet she ignored it. Grabbing a clean glass off the dish rack, she filled it with water. Sipping her water, it was then she noticed the box. Looking at the address, she glared over to the balcony and felt anger flush through her, as why Heero didn't tell her about the package. "Stupid men…" she garbled.
She took a knife out of the drawers and she opened the top. A dark brown liquid was spilled at the top and she frowned. Her eyes widened and her both hands trembled as she saw it wasn't brown, but a dark rusty red.
'Kami-sama!' she thought, 'Blood…'
And she stared into the box. She gasped as she rammed backwards into the other counter and knocked over her water glass.
Her visions swirled in and around her as she fought to stay awake. Still her legs gave out from underneath her and she felt the broken glass bite into her hands as she fell to the ground.
Something was warm on her cheek.
Tears…
She was crying… why… only the weak cry…
Sere felt them roll down her cheeks in twin endless clear rivers. Then someone at her side and she turned her head up as loving and gentle emerald eyes stared down at her. Sere felt not like herself as she felt arms trying to help her to her feet. What sounded like a roar was near her and looked around and saw all the boys there but they didn't say anything. Her throat started to fell soar and she couldn't figure out why.
Then it hit Sere.
She was screaming.
Her legs went out from underneath her and strong arms support her well another pair of arms came to her catch her feet before they hit the broken glass on the floor. She stopped screaming and tried to push the arms anyway but they tightened.
The last thing she remembered was staring into deep Prussian sea irises.
"Angel of Eternity, somebody does love you…"
