Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Duty Bound: A collection of Minako/Kuinzite Stories ❯ Close Your Eyes ( Chapter 2 )

Minako sighed heavily as she walked towards her once-time over.
He was grinning, an evil grin that made Minako’s heart die.
He held his sword, which was dripping with blood.
Royal Blood.
Queen Serenity’s Blood.
He laughed manically.
Minako continued to walk towards her enemy.
He held his sword high.
And came at her with swooping blows.
She side-stepped them, raising her arms to ready an attack.
He tackled her.
She let him.
She didn’t know why she did, but she did.
He smirked down at her with an evil smile indeed.
Minako felt the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Her arms were being held above her own head and she knew that this was the end.
“Time to die, princess of Venus!” he shouted.
Minako couldn’t hold the tears in anymore and let them fall, only two, across her pale white skin.
Kunzite stopped and looked down at her.
“M-Minako…?” he gasped. Minako looked up at him, seeing through his eyes that the darkness was gone.
“Kunzite…?” she asked back. Slowly the two stood up, holding each other’s hand lightly.
“Its me…,” he whispered, touching her cheek lightly with his own.
Minako closed her eyes and let two more tears fall.She held her hand out and a golden sword found its way into her hand.
“I love you…” he whispered, stroking her hair lightly.
“I love you too…” she replied, kissing his cheek.
His own salty tears fell from his eyes.
“Nothing can change that,” he said, “not even death.”
Minako knew what she had to do.
He was still under the power of the Dark Kingdom.
She didn’t know how long he was going to be her Kunzite for.
“Close your eyes,” she whispered, watching him slowly close his light blue eyes.
She lent forward and kissed him, passionately and soothingly.
He responded and the two of them shared a romantic moment, before Minako pulled away.And shoved the sword through his stomach.
Kunzite gasped.
He looked down at the sword, at the green blood coming out of his wound.
Looking up into Minako’s eyes, Kunzite’s tears fell.
“Mina-chan…” he gasped out, before his body was covered in light.
Minako covered her eyes and when she removed her hands, the bright light was gone.
And so was Kunzite.
There was nothing left.
Nothing at all to remind her of what had just happened.
The Princess had fallen.The Senshi and the Generals were all dead.
She was now alone, without a cause.
Her lover was dead, killed by her own hand.
Her princess was dead, killed by her own hand after seeing her own beloved dead; cold.
The Senshi were dead, killed by their beloveds.
The Generals were dead, taking their own lives after taking the Senshi’s.
Minako looked down and saw her golden sword.
The sword she had used to kill her lover.
Picking it up, Minako smiled gently.
It is time to join you all…my friends, my princess, my beloved…
The sword impaled in her own body by her own hand.
