Statement in Death
A/N: This one's for my friend Matt (Incinirmatt) for giving me the prompt... yesterday. Hehehe. Sorry 'bout that.
Totally AU. I swear.
So this is based off of Evanescence's song "Even in Death"
. . .
Before he died, he told me he loved me. They were beautiful words and I remember clearly. As soon as he said them he choked, the rise and fall of his chest fading.
"He really loved you, Princess," Malachite sneered. "It's a shame he cannot protect you anymore. Him being dead and all." He raised his hands and a shimmer of fire played at his fingertips.
I glared up at him, tearing my eyes from my love. "Bullshit. He's still here." My hand reached my chest and laid over my heart, which was beating madly. "He. Is. Still. Here." I felt the Silver Crystal emit a force and General flew backward.
His body met ground with a thud. Blood poured from his body and I knew.
"Mamoru," I whisper. "I miss you." The moon shines down on me. His grave looks at me and the look of the granite gives me a start. Mamoru Chiba-Always Protecting His Princess. Motoki picked out the phrase, not even knowing how his friend died. Instead the quote was a joke he apparently told Mamoru concerning me. How Mamoru's version of flirting with me was teasing me instead.
Mamoru's face stares at me from his grave and I jump. "Mamoru."
"Usagi, you have to move on," Rei murmured, rubbing my back. The girls all nodded and I looked down at my hands.
My hands trembled-my mother said the same exact freaking thing. "No."
"No?" They asked in unison.
I looked up, meeting the eyes of my four friends. "No, I'm not giving up on our love."
His face smiles and I feel my eyes swell. I love you, Usako. My Serenity.
"Mamo-chan!" I sob, my body falling into the soft dirt of his grave. "My Tuxedo Mask. My Endymion."
"I-I promis I'll defeat the Dark Kingdom." I sit up, adjusting my fuku and wiping dirt from my gloves. "For you."
My body picks itself up and I face the moonlight. "Damn you, Beryl. You're going down for this."
