My Name: Hino Rei My E-mail: rei.hino@usa.net Fanfic Title: One Last Kiss... Rating: PG (this is a one-parter) ~*Hino Rei*~ -- One Last Kiss... By Hino Rei auTHoRz NoTeZ: 1) I am *not* Naoko Takeuchi.. (do you have any idea how tired I get of sayin' that?!) 2) Yet another Rei/Jaedite 'fic.. ^^ ,V.. 3) I'm writing a fanfic right now, but this one just kinda came to mind so *poof* here it is! ~**@----^----**~ Lord Jaedite winced in pain. Red. Darkness. Blood. That was all that surrounded him. That, and a certain beauty. he thought. Mars held her hand on the large wound on his body, trying to keep his blood from pouring out, but it was no use. She knew already what was going to happen, and her eyes became full of tears at the thought of it... Death. It was such a horrid word. She looked at her love worried. He and the other generals may have betrayed her and the other senshi, but all blame was to be on Beryl. She was the one who took them away. It was her fault. Mars also knew that Jaedite hadn't meant to.. she won him back, though not easily. She had many wounds herself, but not as bad as the one that would bring her love to death. "..Rei..." he said, his voice barely above a whisper. She looked at him sadly. "Shh.." she set a finger on his lips. "Don't talk.. it will cause you even more pain.." He managed to smile a bit and kissed her fingertip. "..Rei... I.." He reached out to caress her cheek. "... I love you.." he whispered to her. She held onto his hand, and nodded her head. "Hai, Jaedite.. I know... I love you too.." The two just stared into each other's eyes for the last time, tears streaking Mars' face. "Rei-chan.. do... do me one.. last favor.." She gently fingered the features of her lover's face. "Hai.. what.. what is it?" He gazed at her lovingly. "Just.. just give me one.. one last kiss.." Mars looked down at him and sobbed quietly. She knew he was going to leave her soon.. but wouldn't leave without a kiss. And so she bent down and kissed him, a kiss that was deep and passionate, yet gentle and soft.. and that moment seemed to last so long.. it seemed to last forever.. if only it could. Jaedite smiled at Mars. "Rei-chan.. my Lovely... Lady of..Mars.. ari--...arigato... ...ai.. aishiteru wa.. my love.." And there he died. In her arms. And as he had promised her before, he wouldn't leave without one last kiss and he kept that promise. "...aishiteru wa..." Mars whispered to her love, letting her tears fall onto his body. "..oh, Jaedite.."
