The Real World: Tokyo
Chapter 25: The days that time passes slowly
Minako looked out the window staring at the Tokyo Tower. She sighed and looked at Duo with sad eyes. Having to kill their hime . . . their light had taken a toll on Duo's heart. Knowing that she couldn't heal him in any way Minako just looked back at him for a moment and started to walk out of the room where her and him were in.
"Matte Minako." Duo's desperate voice said to her.
Minako turned to look at her hurt love.
"What's wrong Duo?" She asked him softly.
Duo grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap and held her close. They stayed this way for a few long moments until he kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry Minako. It's just the shock that my own sister would try to gain things and be . . . " Duo stopped and just looked at Minako's sad eyes.
He then knew that for the past few days he never spoke a word of love to her. How he loved the Love Goddess was ridiculous. He could never say the right things to her. All he had been able to do for the past few days is make her cry in her room. How he knew this was when he'd try to go into her room and give her something but seeing her tears made him stay back.
He looked at her eyes the way they were right now made him so bad. He had brought her down with him. He tilted her chin up to his lips as he kissed her with no warning. He felt her tense for a moment but then she relaxed in his arms. This small kiss ended and they were looking at each other with an unexpressed passion. Duo felt the small item in his pocket shift slightly.
It was now or never . . . or he'd loose her . . . forever
Duo kissed his goddess again and then moved her off his lap so to take the item in his pocket out.
Minako was confused at what the hell Duo was doing. She watched him dig a hand into his jean pocket and had his fist in a ball.
"Minako I've meant to do this for so long. But since of what has been going on . . . I didn't think I had the right to do this but . . ." Duo trailed and grabbed her hand with his other hand and got on one knee.
Minako's eyes widened when Duo's hand unclenched exposing a topaz gold ring. The feel of the band slip onto her ring finger made tears spring into her eyes. She knew what was going to happen next. She could only hold her breath . . . and try to keep herself from crying hard.
"Minako . . . my Love Goddess . . . can I be so honored to have you as my bride and Queen? You'd make me the happiest man in the Cosmos." Duo asked as he kissed Minako's palm after slipping the engagement ring onto her finger.
Minako choked and then wrapped her arms around Duo's neck and cried into his shoulder.
"Hai Duo-kun. Hai." Minako said in a mere whisper while her shoulders shook and her tears fell onto his shirt.
"Shhh . . . don't cry Minako. Don't cry." Duo said moving her from him and looking at her eyes as they spilled tears.
Minako felt Duo's warm fingers touch her cheeks to wipe the tears from her eyes, her head resting at the curve of his neck. Duo looked at Minako and smiled. To see her crying over something much brighter made him already the happiest man in the cosmos.
**In the Kitchen**
Makato was looking out the window towards Tokyo Bay. She felt a tear drip from her chin to the counter. Trowa hadn't been back ever since the battle. That was almost a week ago. She had been crying in the middle of the night wanting him near her. To hold her, kiss her, speak to her, just to comfort her. She rested a hand on her heart and sighed. Her emotions just like Rei's were falling prey. She longed for love for so long. She never found it in anyone else except Trowa. The pain in her heart right now was so unbearable.
"Trowa-kun." Makato said in a whisper and accidentally cut herself with her chopping knife.
Her tears came more rapid now. As the blood from her finger dripped to the ground her tears mixed with them. Her pains that she never rid herself of were now pouring out. The time of healing was only starting for the thunder senshi.
"Where are you Trowa? Where are you?" Makato asked sobbing to herself as flashes of her earthly families dead faces flashed through her mind. Then flashes of her friends from the Silver Millennium Massacre. This made her finally break.
The thunder senshi went to her room, small drops of blood showing a trail to her room. She fell onto her bed and didn't know that she fell onto someone's sleeping body and just cried.
Trowa had been on a mission for almost a whole week and was sick and tired of leaving the ones he cared for behind or not contacting them. He didn't know that he fell asleep on Makato's bed instead of his until she fell onto him crying.
He opened his eyes to see his dark eyes thunder goddess crying like a lost child.
"Makato?" He questioned.
Makato heard Trowa's voice and cried harder.
Trowa frowned at her sadness and put an arm around her waist and another behind her head bringing her onto him.
"Shh . . . stop crying." Trowa said caressing Makato's neck.
Makato fell into a restless slumber in his arms as he soothed her. Trowa smiled a small smile as he looked at his lightning goddess.
***In the study***
Ami was putting in the data she collected from their battle. Hiding how worried and sad she was, was one thing the smart scout was great at doing. Remembering that her knight came for her and then disappeared the next day, it brought tears to her eyes but she would not allow for them to fall. Trying hard, her tears were frozen in her eyes.
"Quatre." She whispered to herself as a tear fell down her cheek.
She stopped typing and rested her head onto the desk and allowed herself to cry silently. Her shoulders shook as her soft sobs faintly echoed in the empty study. This war had caused many deaths for human kind. Usagi was twisted enough to destroy the hospital her mother worked in. Yesterday she was hoping for her mother to call her to tell her that everything was okay but she didn't hear her mother's voice as someone called for her.
-"I'm sorry Ms. Mizuno your mother didn't make it out of the hospital. We found her body and identified it. We expect you to come back to Juuban to confirm your mother's body."- She remembered hearing on the phone.
She wasn't the only one of the senshi that lost family. All of Usagi's family was wiped out, Minako's mother was killed and Rei's father during the time of this war was assassinated. And although Rei didn't know her father well she mourned for a moment. Ami looked up for a moment out the window to the lush house garden that Rei and Makato started right after the battle. It was beautiful but lacked the love of gardeners for everyone's minds were preoccupied. The thoughts of their significant other were on their minds. She never really told the shy Sandrock pilot that she was very much in love with him to where she wouldn't blush or stutter about it. Looking at the small puddle of tears on the desk she felt more tears add to the puddle. She rested her head down on the desk again and silent wept.
Suddenly someone's arms wrapped around her stomach and that person turned her around and held her to their chest.
"A lovely princess shouldn't cry." A husky masculine voice whispered into her ear.
This made Ami cling to the man that held her.
Quatre looked down at Ami as she tightly clung to him. Everyone had changed since they first met at this very penthouse. Tilting his princess' chin up he stole a kiss from her. After the kiss Quatre took her small right hand in his and slipped a sapphire jeweled ring on her ring finger. The silent proposal was accepted as the couple shared another kiss.
"I'm here now Ami. And always will be. Now and forever." Quatre said holding the Mercurian princess in his arms as she fell into a peaceful slumber for the first time in nearly 2 weeks.
**Back in Juuban, Japan at a shrine**
Rei was sitting in front of the sacred fire that had been extinguished during the war. She had left back to home after the war to bury her father as well as some of her classmates and their families that she knew so well. Being around the carnage of her half-burned home made her feel empty inside. As well as missing Wufei was bringing her down. In her traditional robes she was going through the destroyed portion of the shrine to find many of her mother's things as well as her grandmother's things. Reading her mother's diary for a moment made her start to tear up.
"Mother, I understand how you feel now." Rei said while looking at a picture of her mother when she was her age.
Rei put the picture and diary in her room as she grabbed things to try and clean the portion of the temple that was still livable. She didn't tell the others that she was leaving back to home. She was isolating herself like before she met the scouts. She felt bad for the many deaths of people in the large Japanese town. Ami lost her mother, Minako and the others lost family also during this war. Usagi's family was massacred and Rei arranged the funeral and buried the parents and brother of the traitor. Although Usagi betrayed the senshi Rei had no hard feelings for the family that treated her so well as if she was a part of their family. Wufei had stayed with her for one day after the battle back in Tokyo and then left back for China to make sure everything was in order for the Chang clan. He hadn't contacted the penthouse or the temple. Rei steeled herself from letting a tear fall down her face. She would become the emotionless doll again if she needed to. Her brother had to go back to Dr. J's laboratory in case something was wrong with the old man. She was as much alone as the pre- senshi times but without her grandfather or any friends.
She took her broom in hand she swept at the front steps of the temple. There were many people that came up the stairs and gave the lone soldieress their condolences for her father's assassination as well as for her many classmates being killed. She only looked at the person or people for a moment and would bow before continuing her chores. The temple looked bare as Rei noticed for the first time in nearly two weeks. Almost all the Cherry Blossom trees were destroyed. There was the wish tree that was still alive and standing as there were only 3 Cherry Blossom trees left out of the 12 that were on the temple grounds.
"So many things are missing here." She said to herself while going to the wish tree and touching it's scorched bark.
Using her senshi power she restored the tree to its beauty before the fire. There were many wishes on it. The small pieces of paper were new to its limbs. Many were from the people Rei didn't know. What she didn't expect though today was a man from her father's political party. The man was the first man she had fallen in love with. He held a bouquet of Casablanca meant for her. Her heart ached as he gave the flowers to her.
"I'm so sorry to see you this way Rei." The man said to her.
"It's okay." Rei replied before taking the flowers and putting them in a vase.
After a few moments the man left. Rei just remained where she was sitting. Her emotions at their peak. Mentally thanking god that no one was around she allowed herself to cry. Her hand rested instinctively on her heart. Her soul felt empty and once the tears started to fall it was a damn that broke. Her loneliness inside the temple was too much. Her guardians Phobos and Deimos were no where to be found, most likely dead. She got up and walked like a zombie to her room. Feeling lifeless inside like before she met the girls, before she knew she had a brother, she collapsed to her bed. She had a vision that everyone was going to be happy. She couldn't be even more overjoyed. But then herself. She didn't know what was going to be in her future.
She actually knew what was going to happy. She could only start to laugh cruelly at her pitifulness. Her child wouldn't be born. Everyone would be happy. But her. She knew where Wufei was and knew he would never return. Her planet was always the one to be shunned from the Silver millennium because of their nature to want battle.
"I'm such a weakling. Trying to change the fate I have. Sure I would have had a future. But that was if Serenity wasn't corrupted but now since she was corrupted and killed. My darker fate will happen." She said harshly to herself to keep herself from the illusion of being Wufei's wife and a mother.
Right then a white dove came through the open window to her room. The dove was a silent sign from god to the forever suffering senshi. The white dove craned it little head as the fire senshi finally was doing what she wanted to do since she was 14. The light reflected into the room as a sound of disgusting magnitude came from the woman. The shadows showed an item drive into the senshi's chest and blood spewing from the area. Right then the white dove transformed into a beautiful woman with long streaming hair of lavender and eyes deeper than the bluest of seas. Sorrow was etched into the blue eyes.
"Mars, not all your visions and fates become reality." The woman said seeing Rei's dark eyes start to faze.
"It's too late. It's already happening." Rei whispered before pulling the knife she had under her bed for nearly 6 years out of her heart.
The former queen of the Silver Millennium saw the sorrow in the woman's eyes as she was slowly bleeding to death. Selenity knew that the woman before her was going to die a year from now from complications of bearing a son for Wufei and didn't want it to end in any way. The woman in front of her was the most loyal senshi she had.
But also . . .
******In china******
Wufei jolted up from his bed in a cold sweat. He just had a nightmare so terrible that he awoke with tears coursing down his face.
He saw Rei looking so lifeless and alone at her temple. He saw her take a dagger and stab herself with no remorse in her eyes, just loneliness. Then he saw a beautiful woman appear next to her trying to tell Rei that not everything prophesied comes true. Rei didn't speak though.
'Does love for those around you hurt so much when you're alone?' Rei asked while the woman took her pale hand.
'I must tell you a confession I should have told you thousands of years ago.' Selenity said.
Wufei saw in his nightmare his beloved phoenix dying from a blade and now another way of her death.
He was in a hospital room holding onto Rei's small hand. Doctors were everywhere before he heard a baby cry. Looking up he saw a infant boy being wrapped in blankets and being handed to Rei.
'My son. Let me see him.' Rei weakly rasped as the child was put in her arms.
The baby let out a healthy scream before the fire senshi's eyes fazed out and her body went limp. The doctors didn't attempt to try bringing her back. They just took the child and handed him to Wufei.
'She knew the risks of naturally delivering. There's nothing we can do.' The doctor said.
"Rei. What's wrong? Why is my chest hurting?" Wufei asked feeling a sharp pain where his heart was.
******* Back In juuban********
Selenity rested a hand over Rei's shredded heart and healed her. Rei started to yell at Selenity.
"Respect my wish to die." Rei yelled.
"I cannot let you . . . my daughter." Selenity said.
Rei was silent and in shock.
"You know that you'll die giving Wufei a child. You don't want him to grieve for you but if he finds you here in cold blood what do you think he'll feel?" Selenity asked.
Rei was numb. Numb of all emotions. Her heart was desperately screaming for Wufei's arms to hold her. She knew he loved her but would he love her even after she died?
"Rei, I cannot let you die. You cannot leave Jupiter's prince nor you brother alone." Selenity said.
Rei looked at Selenity with rage. This was another lie that added to her living being. But then she remembered one promise made when she actually told Wufei she loved him.
'I'll be your wife Wufei. I promise it. Just let me fight and I will be yours.' She had promised.
Remembering this she just plowed into her mother's arms and cried hard. Selenity moved her arms to wrap her daughter with warmth. Then a green light erupted from the corner of her room. There was Wufei looking frantic and scared. He ran to Selenity and received Rei's broken soul into his arms.
"I'm here Rei." He said to her as she shook in his arms and wept bitterly.
"Wufei." Rei cried clinging to him tightly.
This day would mark . . . . the beginning of true happiness
The final chapter of Real World Tokyo will come soon.
Can this happiness remain?
