Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ As the Tears Come Down ❯ Lightning's Flashback ( Chapter 2 )

Lightning's Flashback

Authors note: Sorry this took so long I am having serious writers block. Well as you can see this is Lightning's Flashback, Yup so please read and review because I love to hear ways I can improve. Oh and if you have any suggestions too, oh this might be a little give away but keep in mind if you do give a suggestion that I want to have a flashback for all the generals in their parts. Well thanks in advance for reviewing and I hope the other stories will be up soon, but if they don't you can read another story that I made called Always. Okay bye!!!!!!

She looked back into his eyes and said, "Why have you decided to come back to me now Nephrite?"

He started to reach towards the handle of his sword. "I have only come back to hurt you again." He said as he pushed her away and took out his sword.

"What are you doing?" Makoto said as she started to walk back towards Nephrite.

"Can't your little mind comprehend that I have just come back to kill you? At this moment all of the other generals are doing the same thing to the other senshi." He said as he swung the sword at her.

By instincts she immediately jumped out of the path of the deadly weapon. "I don't want to fight you! I know the real you is down there somewhere!" She said as she reached up her hand and yelled, "Jupiter Moon Power!" There was a flash of light and where Princess Makoto once stood there was now Sailor Jupiter.

"Nephrite…Please." She said as tears started to form in her eyes. "I don't want to fight you."

"Well too bad! Can't you see that I don't love you? I never did. I am not one of Endymoin's pathetic shitennou. I am now one of Beryl's LOYAL generals." He said as his voice slowly changed from loving to despise aimed at her.

She stopped looking at him and looked down at her carpet floor. "Why? Why did you choose that life instead of a life on the Moon? A life of happiness? A life with me?" She said as she looked up from the floor with anger in her eyes as her eyes moved to him.

"Why did you choose a life of evil? Why do you hate me now? And why did you have to come back and make me fall in love with you all over again?" She said as tears fell down her face.

He just looked at her and watched her cry. A deep part of him wanted to hold her and take back everything he had just said, live his life with her and make her the happiest woman in the universe. The sword fell from his hand and he dropped to his knees.

"Do you really have to go?" She said as she played with a button on his uniform not looking into his eyes, afraid she might break down and cry.

"Yes I have to. I don't want to go I would love to stay here with you. But we both have a duty and right now I have to fulfill mine." He said as he took her face in his hands and looked into her beautiful green eyes that he loved so much.

"Here, I want to give you something. Something you can always remember me by." He took his hand away from her face and took her hand. He started to lead her towards the garden.

Both of them didn't say anything as she let him lead her to his destination. They stopped walking when they were in front of the atom flower, which when it bloomed in the spring, all through the day even at night it would spark with electricity.

He reached into his pocket and took out a small black box. He held the small box in his hand as he looked into her emerald eyes. "I want to give these to you so you always know I am with you."

He looked down at the box again and opened it. "Oh my God. I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much Neph!" She said as she gave him a hug. She let go and looked at the amazing rose earrings. They shined with every movement. She thought they must have took days to make since every part of the ruby and emerald was perfect. “Ha…I feel like such a teenager with her first boyfriend. I am even blushing. I will wear them everyday Nephrite, they are the most beautiful thing someone has given me.”

"Here let me put them in for you." He said as he took the earrings out of the box and gently put them into her ears. When he was done she went into his arms.

There was silence for a long time until she said softly "Can you promise me something?"

"Anything." He said as he held her hand.

"Promise me you will come back safely." She said as she squeezed his hand.

He took his hand away from hers and moved her face until he could look into her eyes, which had filled with tears. "Of course." He said as he kissed her.

* End Flashback *

* What are these images in my mind. Why am I laughing with the enemy? Dancing with her? Kissing her? What is all this? Where is all these memories coming from? *

She immediately ran over to him. "Are you okay? Please talk to me. Please say something." She said as she kneeled down and looked at him.

"Did we…Did we used to be in love?" He said as he looked up at her tear stricken face.

More tears fell from her eyes. "Yes." Just the look in his eyes…she couldn't stand it. There was so much confusion, so much pain…like there was a battle going on in his mind.

"Why are you crying?" He said still looking at her and gripping his sword.

"Because I still love you." She said as she reached up held onto her earring.

"What happened to me?" He said as he got up and put the sword back into the hilt.

She got up with him and still looking into his eyes and said, "A couple weeks ago an evil force was invading your planet and you had to go fight it. You promised you would come back to me. You were then one of Endymion's shitennou and there was not a good chance of you winning. After you went away with all the other shitennou, we found out a few days later that all of you betrayed Terra and the Silver Alliance by joining this evil force and becoming one of Beryl's generals.” She then walked over to the big glass window, she wanted to get away from looking in his eyes.

"Why did I change?"

There was a pause for a long time when she said, "I don't know. I have asked myself that a million times and have never found the answer."

He walked over to her. "I am sorry that you lost him, but now you are right here and I am Beryl's general and it is my duty to kill you." He said as he took out his sword.

She looked at him with sadness in her eyes and said, "So be it."
