Nephrite
Nephrite closed his eyes for the last time. As he faded away, he could hear his beloved Naru crying, pleading with him not to go.
"I'm sorry, Naru-chan," he whispered softly.
A scent of jasmine permeated the area. Nephrite looked up to see Queen Selenity smiling at him. A sense of shame wafted over him. Was she here to punish him for his part in the destruction of the Moon Kingdom? "Queen Selenity, I…."
The former Queen of the Silver Millennium raised her hand, silencing the Dark Kingdom general. "There is no need to bring up the past, Nephrite. Let bygones be bygones. Come, it is time to go."
Now, Nephrite was perplexed. "Go where?" he asked the former Moon Queen.
"That depends on you, General. You must choose your own path, but before you do, I have something for you to see." She handed him a small black leather-bound book.
Nephrite opened it up and read the first entry:
Dear Diary,
Masato-kun, gave me this beautiful journal a few days ago. He is really a nice guy. (And really handsome, but don't tell Usagi-chan!) I hope I get to meet him again someday real soon.
Anyway, you should have seen Umino-kun trying to kiss Usagi-chan at lunch…
Nephrite quit reading and looked up at Queen Serenity. "You want me to read the rambling thoughts of a teenage girl?" he asked increduously.
Queen Selenity's mouth twitched. "Not just any teenage girl, Nephrite, my daughter's best friend in this lifetime. Read the last entry."
Nephrite flipped through the pages until he found the last entry. His eyes widened in surprise.
Dear Diary,
This is the last time I will write within you. (teardrop stain) Masato-kun Nephrite died today because of me. A creepy witch named Zoicite kidnapped me. His three plant-like youma killed Nephrite-sama in the park after he rescued me; he died in my arms.
(teardrop stain)
Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Mars arrived too late to save Nephrite-sama, but they gave those ugly youma exactly what they deserved. Lately, I've been having this dream lately of Nephrite-sama being on the Moon and in love with one of the senshi. The weird thing is, he calls her Sailor Jupiter. Everyone knows there's only three senshi! (Or are there?)
Sayonara,
Osaka Naru
