Rei's Thinks About Minako's Death


It doesn't seem real. It can't be real. She can't be gone. I have cried so much I do not think I could cry anymore if I wanted to. This hurts almost as much as when mother died. I do not want to talk about it and the others do not want to talk about it either. I have made up my mind that I must talk about it though. Maybe it will help me feel better. I have to acknowledge the truth.

Venus, no Anio Minako, is gone. She is not just gone away on another tour but she died. After everything we fought for. After being able to convince her to go through with the surgery it failed. Those damn doctors killed her! No I should not blame them. They did everything they could.

It is just I finally found her again only to loose her again. I never got to tell her I was starting to regain my memories of the Silver Millennium.

I will have to remember to properly thank Ami's mom for trying her best. Minako and I knew the success rate of the surgery was not high and when she found out that Ami's mom was a doctor she was the only one that Minako would allow to operate on her.

I wonder how Dr Mizuno was able to tell Ami about Minako not making it through the surgery. Did Ami crumple to the ground or just stand there in shock? Makoto probably just cried silent tears. I am not sure if Usagi did her dramatic wailing when she found out or maybe she cried so hard her throat her too much for sound to come out. I have seen Usagi truly cry and it is not the ear piercing wail like when she falls down. I know Artemis probably told Luna before he came to me so Usagi heard the news from Luna.

I was sweeping the shrine grounds when Artemis came up the stairs. I knew something was wrong. I sensed something familiar about the man with long white hair standing in front of me but I had never met him before. All he had to do was look at me and I knew everything he was going to say. I just screamed, dropping the broom and fell to my knees. I wanted so much for it to be a lie. When I opened my eyes Artemis was gone. The wind blew threw my hair and I swear I heard Minako's voice calling to me.

We are Senshi. There is a pretty good possibility we will die in battle. We are not supposed to die of human illnesses.
