Setting: Dark Kingdom arc
Theme: Enemy
From the infamous scene of Sailor Moon Crystal episode 12 (which I'm still upset about!).
Kunzite's POV
She is one of them. She is the enemy.
She hurt Zoisite. She foiled the Queen's plan.
She distracted me. She deserves to die.
Why do I hesitate?
Her beauty is a razor. It will cut me if I get too close.
Her words are poison. They will erase my sanity if I listen.
She is shameless, pretending to be their Princess. Though, ironically, she seems more fitting than that pathetic crying baby.
I should end her toxic being.
Or perhaps I could bring her to our side.
But she won't fall so easily. I know.
How do I know?
Perhaps it is the look of sheer determination in her eyes.
Blue. Hope. Sadness. The things I despise.
Or is it the way she kept pushing herself up every time I smashed her to the ground?
Why is she still resisting?
Her Princess is probably dead by the hands of Endymion by now.
They should give up and run. Maybe I'll be kind merciful and spare her life if she begs.
What are they fighting for, if they aren't even trying to put up a fight?
It does not matter. My Shitennou and I will soon send them to their Princess. Even her.
And fall they did. Foolish little creatures.
What are they rambling on about now?
What mission?
Lies. Do not listen to them. We are faithful servants of our great ruler.
They're gathering up for a final assault.
I brace myself and my Shitennou, ready for a counterattack.
A flash of bright light courses through us.
There is no pain. Only a pang, shooting through.
Something is broken inside me. My mind blurs.
Fragments of memories. Faces. Voices. A man standing before four other men.
"Kunzite, the Knight of Purity and Affection." Her voice speaks out my name.
My name?
Yes… I remember now.
That was my name, and my title. I had told her.
I am… We are… we are…
'Master!'
What have I done?
Master…
Venus…
Venus?
"Venus…"
I look up at her, and search for her eyes.
Hurt. Confusion.
And then she smiles. Relief. Hope.
"Kunzite…"
Suddenly everything goes black.
Where am I? Where are you, Venus?
Is that you down there? Why are you crying?
Ah, our stones are lying on the ground. I see.
"Don't cry. Don't cry, Sailor Senshi."
You still have a mission. As do I.
And maybe, just maybe, I will get to see you again after it is over.
- Fin -
Tomorrow is Saturday. Who else is crossing your fingers that they will keep the Shitennou alive (knowing full well they won't)?
While I'm happy SenxShi is finally canon in Crystal, I really don't care for the way Toei executed their relationships. And they cut the only scene I ever wanted from Crystal, the legendary "bundle of curiosity" meeting scene! How dare they!
