MARS and VENUS

Destiny

Disclaimer: I do not own MARS even though I wish. I do own Crystal Sung so no one can use her without my permission!

Author Note: Sorry if it took me a VERY long time typing this. But I finally got it and I finally completed it! I hope you enjoy!

The God of War, Mars, looked down at the tearful alien girl from Venus. For his whole life, he had the heart that was cold, empty, and harsh but when he looked at the girl's eyes filled with sadness, his heart felt so weak. This new feeling that was born in Mars was confusing and for the first time in his life, he was scared. He couldn't stand seeing her cry so he had quickly held her close to him.

Crystal read the paragraph to Tatsuya and asked, "Well, how is it?"

Tatsuya asked, "Is that all you're going to read to me? Come on! For a drama book this is really good."

Crystal laughed as she flipped through the pages again and said, "All right fine! I'll read something else, let me find it."

The beautiful Princess of Mars glared jealously and furiously at Venus. The knife in her hand ready to strike into the innocent heart of Venus, the heart that Mars loved so much, the heart that is taking her dreams away. This stranger from another planet was shredding her dreams little by little. The Princess stepped closer to Venus with the knife over her head. Venus was trapped between the wall and the knife that was soon about to take her life.

The Princess shouted, "You will not take the man I love! You will not take the man I am destined for! You will not take my destiny as Queen of Mars!"

Venus cringed as she braced herself for the blow and let out a scream of fear. But she felt nothing. Venus opened her eyes and saw that someone was holding the Princess's hand from striking her.

Crystal sighed as she said, "And I haven't decided who is going to save her, Venus's friend or Mars himself."

Tatsuya questioned Crystal, "Who is Venus's friend?"

Crystal sat back in her chair and said, "Venus's friend is the Moon. Moon is very strong for a girl, and she is also very wise."

Tatsuya asked, "Is that part in the beginning of the book or somewhat in the middle?"

Crystal raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know. I just write stuff down and hopefully I can put it all together."

Rei walked up from behind Tatsuya followed by Kira as he shouted, "Hey guys!"

Kira smiled as she greeted, "Good mourning."

Then everything went on its usual schedule, as Crystal likes to put it. They all hang out in the mourning around their desks, pretend to pay attention in class, hang out during lunch, and once again pretend to pay attention in class, hang out a bit after school, and then go home. But inside Crystal there was this unusual feeling of something was missing. Rei noticed that her behavior was different and felt that he was responsible for her depression. So during lunch he wanted to talk to her privately.

Rei apologized, "Crystal, I am really sorry."

Crystal looked at him first confused as she asked, "What are you sorry for?"

Rei placed his hands in his pocket as he explained, "I know that you needed to know about Sei. But I should have tried to at least make you feel better..."

Crystal smiled the best as she can as she said, "Rei, when you are telling someone something like that there isn't a better way to say it. No matter how you say it, he is dead. We just have to keep going on with our lives."

Rei then asked, "So you're not sad?"

Crystal sighed as she answered, "Of course I am sad. Sei was someone I could really trust, but I don't think Sei would like me to linger in the past and waste my future."

Crystal patted Rei's shoulder and said, "So don't worry about me. Ok? You worry about yourself and Kira."

Rei nodded and they both began to walk back to class in silence. But as Rei and Crystal walked by the Gym, she noticed some shadows moving toward the gym. She could have sworn she saw Kira among the group.

Crystal looked up to Rei and said, "I'll catch up to you in a minute."

Rei nodded and thought she just needed to be alone. She walked separately from Rei toward the gym. He sighed as he started walking towards class by himself. Crystal turned around to watch Rei go and then looked back up to the gym. Quietly she leaned next to the door and looked inside from the corner of her eye. Not to her surprise she saw Kira with her right arm on the table. But what made the anger stir inside of Crystal was that she saw Harumi holding a dumbbell over her head as she aimed at Kira's hand.

Then she heard Kira say, "One week... if I cry for one week... will you forgive me...if I am in love with Rei?"

That's when Crystal stood in front of the door, her hazel eyes glared madly at the girls as she said, "Let her go Harumi."

Harumi looked up to see Crystal but instead of fear on her face, Harumi was smiling as she said, "Oh perfect. I told you I would get back at you and Kira. This is how I am going to do it. Hold her down girls."

Crystal didn't notice there were other girls in the room but by the time she noticed it was too late for action. They had quickly taken her arms behind her back and her down on her knees.

Then Harumi said, "This is all to perfect. You see, I know you don't care if I hurt you. But I know that you hate it when people mess with helpless people. Let us say good-bye to Kira's love for art."

Crystal's eyes looked up to Kira's and saw the familiar sadness that she had seen before. Chills ran down Crystal's back when she could have sworn she saw Sei instead of Kira there, leaning on the table so helplessly.

As she remembered Sei, the anger grew inside of her as she yelled out, "Don't you dare hurt her!"

Rei reached up to the classroom and looked at Tatsuya and Tatsuya asked, "So, how did it go?"

Rei sighed as he said, "Well, I got it off my chest at least. Say, where is Kira?"

Tatsuya answered, "She hasn't been back since some girls from class called her away."

Rei then yelled out, "Where is Harumi?"

Some shouted out "I don't know" or "I haven't seen her." But one answered, "Wait... I think I saw her over by the gym."

Rei remembered that when Crystal had walked off and towards the gym. He quickly sprung into action and ran out of classroom. Harumi followed behind him confused on what was going on, but inside of him there was a bad feeling growing inside of him.

Harumi glared at the outraged South Korean and said to her friend, "Knock her out."

One of the girls grabbed the nearest dumbbell which happened to be a 5 pound and knocked Crystal on the side of her head. Crystal was hit hard but she did not give up on the fight, noticed there was one less hand on her she escaped from the grasp of the girls. But another weight had hit her head hard and she fell to the ground unconscious. As she laid there on the cold ground, drops of blood ran down her forehead.

Harumi sighed as she said, "Damn. I was hoping for her to see Kira's hand get crushed."

She paid her attention back to Kira as she said, "Now as you can see, from your little friend, I am being serious. Now promise me that you won't get any closer to Rei. That you'll give him up."

To Harumi's surprise Kira said, "No..."

So she placed the weight close to Kira's hand and asked, "Don't you care about not being able to draw?"

Kira then slowly let out, "If I can't use my right hand, I'll draw with my left hand. I could use either if I tried." Harumi slowly took the dumbbell away form her hand as she stared shock of Kira as she continued, "I've even heard about a girl who drew with her feet because she had no hands. And someone who held a brush in her mouth because she had no feet." Then she looked up to Harumi and said, "Or are you going to smash my mouth to?"

The whole time everyone was staring at Kira and didn't notice that Crystal had gain a little bit conscious. Slowly she got up and walked over to Harumi. Harumi was mad at Kira's words and she brought up the dumbbell over her head to strike, but Crystal had grabbed the dumbbell and looked at the four heads of Harumi spinning around. But she didn't let the weakness show as she threw the dumbbell away from Harumi's reaches.

Crystal then punched her hard in the face and glared down at Harumi and said, "I told you I wouldn't be a happy camper if you hurt Kira. And I don't think Rei will be either if he ever finds out about this, so if I were you I would run right now."

Harumi glared at Crystal with hate so much hate that it could even kill. But Crystal couldn't really tell because she saw four blurry heads of Harumi spinning around. Soon Harumi got up and ran off with her friends following behind.

Crystal looked at Kira with a smile and said, "You all right?"

She nodded and Crystal as she said, "That makes one of us, so if you don't mind, I'll just take a nap for now."

Crystal fell on the ground yet again and at the door was Rei breathing hard. Tatsuya followed behind and saw Crystal on the ground and her head bleeding. Tatsuya kneeled next to Crystal and picked up her head. Rei looked to where the dumbbell was seeing it was misplaced then quickly grabbed Kira's hand and looked at them.

Tatsuya touched Crystal's cheek but quickly removed his hand because of the shock of how cold it was. His eyes looked to her skin and noticed how pale it was and her lips were no longer it original color but more of a faded pink. He quickly placed his hand on her throat, checking her pulse. He couldn't face it. He didn't want to believe it. The tears poured out as he did his sad attempts to wake her up. He ran his fingers through her hair and didn't care about the blood that he was covered in. Rei and Kira turned around shocked at Tatsuya's reaction. But the tears and the cries were all too obvious...

Crystal was in Sei's arms once more.

Tatsuya looked at the gravestone that read, "Crystal Kim Sung.". Next to Tatsuya was Rei who was reading another gravestone that red, "Sei Kashino". Today was exactly 3 years sense he died. Today was exactly 1 year sense Crystal died.

Tatsuya laughed a bit as he said, "I guess those two were met to be together. They died on the exactly same day."

Rei didn't say anything as Tatsuya added, "And I lost both girls I loved to the Kashino family. Isn't that weird?"

Rei turned to Tatsuya and said, "Tatsuya, I'm really sorry. I really am. Don't say stupid things like that in front of Crystal and Sei."

Tatsuya sighed as he said, "I know. I'm sorry. Its just say things out of frustration."

Kira walked between the two boys and said, "Umm... I brought the books you wanted me to bring."

Kira placed the books out in front of her one said Mars and Venus and another said My Story written by Crystal Sung. It took Tatsuya 3 months to have the guts to finish those two books for Crystal and organize them but he did it. He did it for Crystal this out of the two things will be the last things he will do for Crystal. But there was one more thing. He promised himself he would keep going with is life.

Tatsuya took the two books and gave Rei Mars and Venus and said, "This book would be for you and Kira. You were her inspiration and models for her. If you guys don't mind, I want to be alone here."

Rei and Kira nodded and slowly walked away, and Tatsuya made sure they were gone. He took a lighter out of his pocket as he laid the book down. He lit the book on fire and began to cry.

Tatsuya then said, "This book is for you, Crystal. I hope you are happy again with Sei. You two are really destined for each other..."

He walked away as the book burned away and left Crystal in Sei's arms... forever.
