Chapter 5: Death AKA The Beginning
********************************************************************
Dying is never hard to grasp, depsite that, well, I've died twice and returned. It's still a shock, but it is the choice I made to save someone I loved. As a soldier you know in your heart the possibility of death is always there. I felt somewhat guilty that I betrayed the main objective of being a senshi, protect the Princess, but Usagi-chan understood. It was still a hard decision to make in a second.
And the next thing I know, we're all back to life together and suddenly my little problem doesn't seem so severe.....
until a month later.
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Artemis awoke to the high pitched shriek, blinking weary blue eyes as he saw the golden cat before him that looked, if anything, extremely annoyed.
"Minako-chan, what's wrong?" he asked groggily.
"I am a CAT! What do you think?! I'm meant to walk on two not four! This is completely ludicrous! How am I supposed to get through high school if I miss three days a month!! That's like missing almsot thirty some odd school days! And what about my parents?! They DO come home sometimes from work! I. CAN'T. TAKE. THIS."
"Are you done?"
"Yes." she said calmly, walking to the kitchen where, in a moment of spitefullness, she drank all of Artemis' milk.
Kaiou Michiru was known for her grace, beauty, artistic and musical talent, and many more delightfully positive things. What she was NOT known for was her lack of tolerance, hence it was a quite a shock to Usagi, Ami, Makoto, and Rei when upon entering her living room, Michiru was currently chasing Minako with a knitting needle.
"Minako-chan, that yarn is NOT for playing now would you get back and GIVE ME MY YARNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" the bluenette screeched, until she noticed she had company.
She immediately began to laugh nervously.
"Oh hahahaha....hello!" she said.
Everyone else blinked and Minako jsut happily went back to playing with the blue-green yarn.
Oh man! This is fun! Now I know why cats love this kind of crap!! WWWHHHEEEEEE! Soft yarn!! Tangly!!! Scratch! Hehehehehehe......Michiru CAN'T chase me now!!! MreoW!
Did I just mreow?!
Everyone eyed Michiru carefully as she served some tea, briefly myusing in their minds if Haruka also had some eccentric quirks she kept hidden.
"So Michiru-san, we just wanted to thank you for taking care of Minako-chan while we had school. Rei-chan's going to take her tonight, then Usagi-chan tomorrow, then myself after that until she gets human again." Ami explained calmly.
"Oh your welcome! It was no problem! Minako has been such a delight." she murmured, shooting a quick narrowed eye glance at the cat currently perched at the arm of Rei's chair.
Minako just meowed innocently, quickly shoving the yarn off the chair with her tail.
"I miss Yaten-kun, he read me manga." she muttered, licking a paw.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Minako-chan, I think EVERYONE in the country knows you miss Yaten-kun." Rei stated, setting her tea cup down.
"Well what can I say?! I like the guy...girl....whatever! Sure he's got this sarcastic, cold, loner exterior but inside he's just a big jar of Fluff!"
"Fluff?! Ew!!! I hate Fluff! Mom used to make me Fluffernutter sandwhiches EVERYDAY for school!!!! I still can't look at Fluff without getting sick." Usagi chimed in.
"Um....okay, that's interesting Usagi-chan." Makoto said sweatdropping.
"Heheh! Isn't it?"
No one cared to comment or respond for fear of the Tears of Usa, aka the UsagiWhail, or the Ear Drum Assassin.
"Well you know he's back with his princess and working on restoring Kinmoku so I'm sure he's busy but I'm sure the Three Lights will send word soon!" Michiru murmured, followed by a muttered, "The ninnies they are."
"What was that?" Rei asked.
"Ohohohho nothing, just a little tickle in my throat." Michiru stammered.
"Um..okay. Well, it's been a lovely visit really, but we should get going!" Rei said, standing up suddenly.
"Yes well, have a nice day." Michiru said, rapidly ushering the Inner Senshi out of her apartment, slamming the door shut with a relieved sigh.
Is it MY fault you have no patience Michiru-san? I think not! Honestly! But seriously, what the hell was Usagi-chan rambling about? She lost me at Fluffernutter. I wish I could find the baka who cursed me so I can give them a piece of my Love and Beauty Shock mind. That would teach them. Never mess with Aino Minako! I got crazy mad skills! Muahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Somewhere in a room of wood sat a girl meditating. Behind her a figure appeared from the shadows, features obscure from the light.
"Kasumi, the time had come to advance the curse of she who stole your love's affections." the deep male voice drawled, no longer reduced to the hissing of being between one dimension and this one.
"Yes, she must know more pain. My Yaten-kun is gone! I can't forgive this! Aino Minako will pay for my heartache!!!!!" the girl yelled, her silver eyes clouded.
"Good girl." the figure murmured, tossing a coin in the air and catching it. He turned and faded back in the shadows.
'Soon, Minako-chan, soon...you will suffer as you made me suffer so long ago.'
********************************************************************
Yes..it's short. I apologize but it's really jsut a set-up for Venus' Route.
Who the hell invented the fashion trend of girls wearing pajama/sweat pants as a normal outfit? Granted it's comfortable, but honestly it looks sloppy and kinda trashy. I mean, it's one thing to have writing across your chest, but across your ass? What?! Good lord.
I really want the Sailormoon and Sailormoon R DVD box sets but I am soooooooooo broke it sucks. I want so much stuff.
I want the X TV Series, Mirage of Blaze, Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers), the Vision of Escaflowne TV box set, Gravitation DVD set if I can find it, Macross 7 tv series, some more Fire Bomber cds, the gravitation cds, the Yami no Matsuei ones, uggggggggggghhh and I want the Best of THe Cure!! And Over It's new cd and stuff and junk and stuff.
I dunno.
The next Cd I buy will probably be Blink 182: Blink 182 when that comes out Nov 18. Believe me, I'm all over that one. If 'Feeling THis' is any indication of the tone of the CD, I shall be please. Now all I need is for them to tour again and I'll be happy. Same for Unwritten Law. I want to see them live soooooo bad. Heeheh...the guy I love would go see them and I would love to see them with him, especially for 'How You Feel' and 'Darkside'.
As for Blink, God so many songs I would love to hear with the guy I like next to me. 'Carousel', 'M+Ms', 'Going Away to College', 'Wendy Clear', 'First Date', 'Please Take me Home', 'Don't Tell That It's Over', and the classic 'Dammit'.
See, the guy I like, Blink is both our fave band, we like the same music, the same stuff (well except anime, I keep that a secret from him), we match very well personality wise so I get annoyed that he won't just date me. Ah well. Maybe cuz we work together and he has issues with his ex. Sighs. He'll be coming to my university soon. Yay! I hold out hold!
10 Things In Literature I am Thankful For:
1. Julia Quinn's Lady Whistledown. If only I had that genius. She really is the contemporary Jane Austen. And for Colin Bridgerton who makes me wish he was a real person cuz I LOVE him! And for writing a character I totally empathize with in Penelope Featherington.
2. 'Good Omens' running gag of Crowley the demon's 29 Bentley having all tapes left in for more than a fortnight turn into 'The Best Of Queen'. Big thanks to Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman(Neil you're cool alone for 'Stardust').
3. Holden Caulfield from 'Catcher in the Rye'.
4. Ann Bordchart's Wolf Trilogy, 'The Silver Wolf', 'Night of the Wolf', 'THe Wolf King'. She's Anne Rice's older sister. She can DEFINATELY stand well on her own in the genre.
5. fanfics. Obviously. and Mstings.
6. Stephanie Laurens' Bar Cynster. Gabriel all the way!!!!!
7. Gone With the Wind's Scarlett O'Hara for reminding me it IS possible to have sympathy for a total bitch.
8. Anne Rice for making novels so popular we got to see Tom Cruise as Lestat! (and Stuart Townsend in leather pants:: fear wrath of QoD devotees who hated the movie::)
9. Faerie Tales. They are classics and will remain forever as inspirations.
10. and finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.......all Greek mythology for entertaining me from grade 6 to now. Except for 'The Odyssey' which I was forced to read in a four week period for Lit 1. Too longggg....words too many and small on each page. Ugh...so boring.......Odysseus is such a manwhore and a doofus! Ugh!
Arg...anywhosssss...yeah...eheheeh...updatessssssssss......eheheh...
they are coming. I swear. Ihave midterms people so have some patience. BTW: Shimatta means 'damn/ dammnit' in Japanese.
