Love

What is love?

Is Love a tangible thing?

What is essentially 'real'...and what is temporal?

How is it something so powerful and universal cannot be seen or touched?

Love is reasoned to be merely a heart-feeling that is experienced on the emotional level of one's bodily existence. It is deemed to be inferior to the intellect of the head, and is solely shown as a form of affection.

Is that Love?

Or is something more?

Is it something stronger?

Is Love such a powerful phenomenon that it cannot be described so much as experienced?

Love...Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the broadcast of promises of eternal passion.

That is just being "in love" -- which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love...itself...is what's left over when being in love has burned away.

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship -- and find out you still care for that person.

True Love really is everything the fairy-tales make it out to be. That's why everyone is so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.

And the trouble is...if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

But beneath all the titles...

...all the frivolous descriptions...

...and all the debate over love's "true" meaning;

One thing has remained a constant -- remained undeniable throughout all the ages of this world and across the stars:

"Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end."

"Of course that's no where near as bad as the time..." Usagi's amused reminiscence was cut shortby a sudden feeling off being...unbalanced. Holding tightly to the guardrail Usagi hunched over slightly waiting for the feeling to pass.

"Koneko?!" Haruka's hand went to the small of her back and the other to her shoulder. "What's wrong."

Usagi straightened, the slight discomfort passed. She smiled softly at her lover's concerned expression. "I'm alright...but one of my scouts just experienced a heart-attack-like shock."

Haruka glanced uneasily over the railing and down the steep cliff side. Nervously, she moved Usagi away from the "accident waiting to happen" before she said anything.

"What? How do you know?"

Usagi was already digging through her purse. She waved a free hand absently before going back to routing through old gum wrappers and lipstick tubes. "It's like...a sixth sense. I can feel sufficiently strong emotions from each of the Inners through the bond of love we share."

She finally unearthed her cell phone from the mass of clutter crammed into her purse. She held up a finger to halt Haruka's confused question and pressed a button.

"Rei."

The phone echoed her voice and started ringing. She didn't have to wait long before the call was answered.

"Usagi."

"Rei! Are you--"

"No...it's not me..."

"So you felt it too?"

"Yeah...hold on -- Minako's calling me too."

"She must have felt it as well...being the Goddess of Love does leave her sensitive to the other emotions the people around her experience..."

Rei, it seemed, could care less. "Why does everyone assume it was me that was practically shocked to death?!"

"REI! Focus! Patch Minako in..."

"Rei?"

"I'm here too, Mina. What's going on?"

Venus's voice was somewhat distorted by static. "It's not Makoto or I...I thought it was you Rei..."

Usagi could actually hear Rei grinding her teeth, "No." She said; answering for the priestess. "It's neither of us...that leaves Ami."

"Ami?" Minako's disbelief was evident.

Rei started to put the key in the lock, but the door swung open freely. Warily, she poked her head inside the apartment.

"What reason would Ami have to produce such strong emotions?" Minako asked.

The cell phone almost slid out of Rei's hand and her jaw dropped.

"I have no idea...Rei?"

Rei was frozen to the spot, "I-I think I know."

Seiya smiled lazily up at her from the dining room table, "Hello Rei."

Ta da-ness! Go stalk Megs!!
