Okay, I make a couple of references to Poet Princess'
"Forbidden: The Story of Mina and Artemis" in this, so
if you get confused, go read it! (it's good!)

Aniron: Heartbeats
by Jewel of Venus


It's been weighing on me for weeks, but tonight
it's the only thing on my mind.

Aniron...

This word, this thought that flits across my
mind like a leaf in the wind, coming near, but always
eluding my grasp.

Aniron...

As far as I remember, this word is from long
ago. Probably Lunarian. Artemis would know.

Aniron...

Artemis. I see him curled up on my bed. A ball
of white fur on my peach-colored sheets.

Aniron...

I look down at myself, my lavender nightgown
shimmering in the moonlight. The color of my love, of
my wedding dress.

Aniron...

I cast my memory back, to the days I spent in
Magellan Palace. Aniser. A Venutian word that the
Lunarians changed for their own langauge. Aniron. I
desire.

Aniron...

I look back at the guardian cat on my bed. He
doesn't know that I remember; the love, the marriage,
the passion...and yet I AM the senshi of love. Why
shouldn't I remember? I love him, the man that took
care of me for six years as we grew up. The man I
loved. The man I married. The man that I wish with all
my heart could be freed from this concealing form.

Aniron...

Yes. Aniser. I desire.

You know, sometimes I need music to get an idea down on
paper. I credit this story to the song "The Breaking of
the Fellowship" on the Lord of the Rings movie
soundtrack. Special thanks to Poet Princess for delving
into the mysteries of Mina and Artemis' relationship. I
could never thank you enough. And to the ONE person who
has e-mailed me about ANY of my writing so far. I've
forgotten your name, but I am very grateful. (you others
should take a hint from her!)
