Note: This is a songfic, so the song part will be in italics, okay? Also, I copied the lyrics down by listening to the song a bunch of times. So if the words are off a little, don't worry. I'm more worried about the story than the song anyway.
I try but I can't seem to
think of
Anything but you
It had been only an hour since she had told Michiru how she felt about her. She had poured out her heart, only to have it dashed out the window when Haruka came back on her proverbial white horse to steal her woman back. She had endless tears running down her face and all she could think of was how the last millennia had been wasted on her love of the beautiful aquamarine-haired woman. When she could have found someone else, she spent her days brooding about how much she wished Michiru loved her. Minako was angry at herself.
Your breath on my face
Your warm gentle kiss I
taste the truth
I taste the truth
Minako wanted so badly
to just go over to Michiru and Haruka's rooms and steal Michiru away from
the strong wind senshi. But she was too furious with herself.
She got up off the couch and went to the mini-bar next to her bed.
She made herself a strong drink and sat down on her bed guzzled it down.
She then looked in the mirror across from her on the wall. She saw
a pale woman with red eyes. She fumed at how ugly and unrefined she
looked, so she grabbed the glass she had just drunk out of and threw it
at the mirror, shattering both in the process.
Suddenly, she had this
vision in her mind of Michiru and herself making love. It was heartrending
thing to have that vision in her mind at that moment. She burst out
into fresh tears and threw herself down onto the bed, weeping into her
pillows.
What I came here for
So I won't ask for more
Minako saw herself laying next to Michiru, her hands stroking the soft hair of the older woman. She saw herself then kissing Michiru's cleavage and opening the silk button-down shirt and removing Michiru's lacy white bra to reveal the soft breasts underneath. She saw Michiru's beautiful face contort with pleasure as dream-Minako licked and sucked and teased Michiru's hard nipples. She wept as she saw her dream self give Michiru oral sex that had Michiru yelling out dream-Minako's name as she came. It was too much to bear. She got up off the bed and wiped the tears from her eyes and made herself a stronger drink at the bar.
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one whose in
your arms
To hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to
say
There's nothing else I
want more than to feel this way
Minako fell asleep, red-eyed and drunk. She woke up in the morning to the maid knocking on the door with her breakfast. After she ate, she took some Tylenol for her raging headache and fell back asleep, only to be plagued with dreams of Michiru and her making love and just plain being together, and in love. She woke up sometime in the afternoon and found her headache gone, so she left her rooms to see if she could find someone to talk to.
So I'll hold you tonight
Like I would if you were
mine
To hold forevermore
As soon as she got out
into the hallway, she bumped into... Michiru.
"Konnichi wa, Michiru-san.
Ogenki desu ka?" the tired Minako asked Michiru.
"Konnichi wa, Minako-chan.
I am all right tonight. But I wanted to talk to you about last night.
Can I come in?" Michiru asked, her voice sounding full of guilt.
"Of course. Come
on in." the blonde said, opening her door and walking inside.
Michiru sat down on
the couch and Minako sat on the chair across from it. "Minako-chan,
you look terrible! What happened after I left?" she asked the pale
Minako across from her.
"Oh, I just cried and
drank, 'tis all," Minako said, with sadness in her voice.
"Minako-chan!
I'm so sorry! Gomen nasai! I never meant to--" Michiru stopped
as she saw the shattered mirror on the wall and the floor. "What
happened? Were you trying to kill yourself?"
Minako shook her head
as she looked at the mirror. "No, I was just angry with myself and
how silly I was being. But I feel much better now."
Michiru looked disbelieving,
but she made Minako lay down in bed and gave her some strong tea and ramen,
and left her to eat.
And I'll savor each touch
That I've wanted so much
To feel before
To feel before...
Minako ate her ramen
and drank her tea, and fell promptly asleep. She had the same disturbing
dreams like the night before, so she only slept for a little while and
woke up in a cold sweat. She got up and made herself a stronger drink
than the ones from the night before and then laid down on the bed and wept.
Her whole insides seemed
to be screaming, "Pain! Agony!" She just wanted to feel better,
but she was so depressed and enraged that she didn't know what to do.
How beautiful it is
Just to feel like this
She drank about four more glasses of this drink, then passed out on her bed. Thankfully, she had a dreamless sleep. She woke up around midnight, groggy and even more red-eyed. She suddenly remembered Michiru's words from this afternoon, about whether she was trying to kill herself.
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one whose in
your arms
To hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to
say
There's nothing else I
want more than to feel this way
She walked over to the
glittering pieces of broken glass that lay scattered across the floor.
She picked up a big piece and put it next to her as she sat down at her
desk to write a letter to her friends.
'Dear Friends,
I am sorry I can not be with you all any longer. But I so angry and
depressed, that I feel I cannot go on. So I leave these final words
to say goodbye.
'Usagi-chan, or should
I say, Your Majesty: I love you so deeply. You have always been my
best friend. When we were kids, we were like two peas in a pod.
Never forget how much I care for you.
'Ami-chan: I have
always admired your intelligence. You always were so smart, while
I always just scraped by. I always wished I was as smart as you.
Stay as friendly and beautiful as you have always been.
'Mako-chan: How I will
miss your cooking. I've never been a good cook, so I always looked
forward to your Saturday breakfasts when you made all of us senshi a scrumptious,
home-cooked meal. I hope your bakery thrives! And never forget
how much I love you.
'Hotaru-chan: You have
always been so gentle and kind. even though I did not know you as
well as I know the inners, I still love you like a sister. Stay sweet
and never forget me.
'Chibi-Usa-chan: Even
now, as you are growing up and becoming a young lady, you still will always
be a sweet, though sometimes irritating, little girl. Never lose
your sweetness.
'Haruka-san: I have
always looked up to as this strong woman I would never be. I never
stopped wanting to be just like you. Never change, because you are
perfect the way you are.
'Setsuna-san: I never
got to really bond with you, but I always wanted to be as elegant as you
are. Never forget me.
'Endymion-sama: You've
always been like a big brother to me. when you married my best friend,
I was thrilled because I could see you all the time if I needed you.
Thanks for always being so kind to me.
'Michiru-san: I love
you more than you will ever understand. I'm sorry that you think
you drove me to this. But it is all my fault. If I had not
spent a millennia loving you, I would not be the wreck I am now.
Never forget how much I loved you.
'Now as I prepare to
depart from this realm, always remember me as I was. A happy, cheerful
girl with boys (hahaha) on the brain. Even though I truly never had
boys on the brain, that is what you will remember me as. I love every
single one of you. Never change, because you are all perfect in my
eyes. Good bye! Love, Minako'
She put her pen down, folded the letter and picked up the piece of glass.
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one whose in
your arms
To hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to
say
There's nothing else I
want more than to feel this way
She sat down on the bed
she had slept in for centuries, dreaming of her one true beloved, and slashed
her wrists and then stabbed herself in the chest with the glass piece.
As she lay in a pool of blood, barely alive, she screamed and then stopped.
She breathed her last breath, and then whispered, "Forever, Michiru-san,
forever, I will love you." Her arm went limp and she died.
A maid down the hall
heard the high-pitched scream and came running. She came into the
suite to find Minako already dead. She saw the letter on the desk
and took it to the queen right away.
Even though she committed
suicide, she had a state funeral for Minako, because she was a Sailor Senshi
and a beloved woman. Michiru cried for weeks afterward, feeling entirely
guilty that she could not love the sweet love senshi who had taken her
life because she had loved someone selflessly for such a long time and
could not handle living any longer. The other senshi tried to comfort
her, but in the end, only Haruka could make Michiru feel any better.
