*Author's Notes* OK, here's the next chapter, guys! It's Called 'Ein no Melody' which means 'Eternal Melody' in Japanese, and was sung by Rei instead of 'Oh Starry Night' in the original Japanese show. And in case you were interested, 'Route Venus', the song used for the last chapter, was Minako's image song from the R season.
*Chapter Two - Ein no Melody*
Shaded by the sunlight
In my heart you are here
Even without saying you love me
You are here in my heart
Jadeite looked up into the cloudless sky. Finally, he was here, on Earth. Sunlight filled the azure sky, and though he enjoyed its warmth, he longed for the night, so that he could see the Moon, and feel comforted by it. They had only parted a matter of hours ago, but already he missed her. But he remembered her parting words,
"Jadeite, you will always be in my heart, and I in yours."
And the look in her deep, indigo eyes told him something that could never be expressed in words. I love you. She didn't need to say it to him. He just knew. So although he could not see the Moon, the beautiful white planet, far away in the sky, he knew that she was never really far from him at all. Rei-chan would always be close by, in his heat.
Say, thanks for your bravery
Look, the newly born power
covering everything, shining brightly
Silently, Jadeite had thanked her for being so strong. She had put on a brave face throughout, and he knew that if she hadn't done, he might not have coped at all. When she heard the news that they must be separated, her sadness did not betray her, she simply said,
"So be it."
Her calm acceptance was unnusual, but her bravery made Jadeite feel brave, too, and now he knew that together, they could face any obstacle that came their way. Even ten years apart.
Night fell. The Moon cast an aura of white light out into the inky night sky. The Moon was like a pearl, so smooth and round, Jadeite mused. Yet, unlike a pearl, it harboured a magnificent power. The reason the Moon shone so brightly was the power of Queen Serenity's invincible Silver Crystal.
Even more than the spacious sky and the sea
My dreams have no limits
I have realized that because I am in love
Staring out his window, the wide sea and the night sky stretched out before him. Jadeite hoped that one day, he would sail across the sea with the other generals. He thought about visiting one of Earth's tropical islands that he had heard about, and taking Rei-chan with him. Not long ago, he would never have dared dream of something so unlikely. But now things were different. Rei-chan gave him strength, she gave him hope.
In the stream of destiny
I want to swim together with you
Whatever happens to us
I'll be sure not to give up
Now Jadeite knew that there was only one person he wanted to be with. Rei- chan. Before he had met here, he always laughed at love, saying that it was only for the weak-minded, but then destiny had worked her magic, bringing Rei and Jadeite together. Lonely as he felt, here on Earth, Jadeite hung desperately onto the knowledge that she must be going through just the same things that he was, and he felt stronger. He refused to give up because destiny was on their side, whatever happened.
Say, I'm glad we met each other
That warm atmosphere around us
The days of being hurt are melting away
I love you so much that I could die
Drifting in the wind the seed
Will sprout like your smiling face
In his mind, he replayed the many happy times they had spent together. When they first met, each had built a cold shield to stop themselves getting hurt, but eventually the warmth of their love had melted the barriers. Her smiling face never left his mind. Infact he was sure that should a tragedy occur during his stay here and, God forbid, his time in this life was over, he would die a happy man, just because her smile, imprinted in his memory, would be the last thing he would see.
Where there is no sound in the corners of space
Everybody is alone
When at least our feelings of love meet
I can go on to tomorrow
When he felt really lonely, he always consoled himself with the fact that he could be completely alone, in the very corners of space, just like the three guardians of the Talismans. At least, neither her nor Rei-chan had been picked to do their jobs. Compared with them, he and Rei were relatively close, and their love could survive. But how those faraway guardians ever coped, he did not know. How did they cope each day? All they ever had to look forward to was the silence that tomorrow would surely bring. At least he could go on tomorrow, secure in the knowledge that one day he would be reunited with his darling Rei-chan.
The throbbing building up warmly
Eternally whoever's heart it is in
It will resound loudly, the magical melody
Love. It was addictive. The more Jadeite thought about her, the more he wanted her. Every time he remembered how she looked, or spoke, or behaved, his heart throbbed warmly. Yet, it wasn't a bad thing. Love was something he thought everyone should experience. It was magical, enchanting, like a spellbinding melody that he just couldn't stop listening to.
Even more than the blue sky and the sea
I will chase after my dreams with love
Your deep eyes told me to do that He promised himself that when this was over, he would take Rei-chan to an island, no matter what. After everything that they were going through, they deserved to follow their dreams. All of them. Before Rei, Jadeite didn't have dreams. But now he did. And he would chase them. He would chase them because that's what she had taught him to do. Her deep, indigo eyes had looked at him intently, and he felt that he had suddenly fallen into the best dream of them all. And he NEVER wanted to wake up.
