What is duty compared to the touch of a lover?
Or the feel of a newborn in your arms?
How can you have duty if you have no love?
Love without duty is lust.
Lust is the death of duty and love.

Minako
After filing paperwork on the incident that occurred with Neptune and Uranus, she sat back in her chair. Things are a lot simpler now that time had gone on. Though she missed her nightly escapades with her love.
She missed feeling the togetherness with her love. Eventually she will be able to make love with her but that won't happen unless Pyro wanted to do so. Some day she will be with her lover.
She opened a drawer and looked at a small Venusian music box that was in there. It had been a gift from her father before she left Venus.
She opened it up and the music played. It was her favorite lullaby. The soothing melancholy tune comforted her.
"That sounds familiar," Mars said. She walked up behind her. "Almost as if I heard it before."
"You have," she said.
"What do you mean?" Mars asked.
She sighed as she turned toward Mars. She got up and approached the raven haired woman. In a quick gesture she pulled Mars close and kissed her.
Remember, please... I miss you so much. Goddess please give her back to me. She prayed that Mars doesn't reject her. As she closed her eyes she could feel the return of her kiss. When they parted she felt a fire within her.
There was a pregnant silence.
"I remember, my Aphrodite," Mars said. She held her close. "I promised eternity and I meant it."
She felt tears welling up in her eyes. Finally she let go of her feelings and cried on her lover's shoulder.
"I love you, Pyro," she said.
"I love you too," Mars said. She kissed her cheek. "Don't cry."
They're mouths met and their tongues danced together. She felt more at ease as she finally got her lover back. As they parted they gazed into each other's eyes. With a sultry look on her face she leaned towards her lover's ear.
"I need you to make love to me," she said. I don't care if I broke the rules, we need each other.
