To
Die
Chapter
2

Still don’t own Sailormoon. Still
just a fan writing for fans.
Notes: “To Die” was originally meant to be a one-shot fic but I was bit by a rabid plot bunny. This chapter
needed a lot less reworking than the previous one, as I liked it much better. There’s some implied, one sided Taiki/Yaten in here, or at
least there was supposed to be. Also, I switched
tenses for this one. It was intentional. Since the last chapter was past, this
one is present to show the finality or something. I liked the idea when I first
wrote it, now it sounds a bit lame.

Do you know what pain is? I’d say that eight ninths of
the universe’s population don’t know true, heart-searing pain.
Pain harsher than any physical ailment.
Rather, I mean the pain of losing the only person in
the universe you love before you ever got the chance to show them the extent of
you love. When your first “I love you” was also your last. When “till death do
us part” means until the next minute. Seeing your love kill themselves
because they thought no one loved them. Hearing “I love you, I’m sorry” as
their final words to you, and never having heard that before. Loving someone
with your entire being, but having them ripped away
just as you learned that they loved you too.
Yaten.
Gods Yaten, why?
Why did you leave me like this? Why? I can’t do this, I can’t live like this without you…I just
can’t. I cry endlessly, I can’t protect the princess
anymore. Only you. I can only remember you. Never once
did I hold you in a sweet embrace. Never once did I feel your lips on mine.
Never once was that smile filled with love for me
alone.
Why?
Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t
you tell me how you felt? God knows I would’ve been
there for you. I would’ve listened! So,
why? Why did you feel so alone that you felt the only way you could end
the loneliness was to remove yourself from the world?
Life may be cruel, but we could’ve made it through
together. We could’ve had a future. Could’ve
been happy. I loved you so much.
I love you so much.
My Yaten, please why!!!
“Seiya?” a quiet voice calls from my door. I look up, startled. No one comes in
my rooms anymore. Everyone avoids me, which makes the pain even worse.
“Go away Taiki.” I choke out through my tears. She ignores me and comes closer.
I really don’t want to deal with her sympathy right
now.
“Seiya.” She says again and now I see tears making
their way down her face. “Seiya, please.”
“Yes.” I say. “PLEASE leave.”
More tears flood down her cheeks.
“Seiya, please, that’s…you know that’s not…not what I
mean…” she whimpers. Her voice is faltering. What’s
going on? “Seiya…I just…”
She collapses. My eyes widen. Impossible. She wouldn’t. She’s far too smart
to…to…do that…
I jump up, panicked. She can’t be doing this to me!
“T-Taiki?” my voice shakes in fear. “Taiki, please say something!”
I’m frantic now. I race over to her. I can’t lose her. I can’t lose another…not
so soon…no, not now, no! Please not now!
She
gazes up at me through a mist of tears.
“Yaten…”
she whispers. “Yaten’s gone away…I can’t stay…”
Her words wash over me, barely registering as I cradle her in my arms, my eyes
searching for any cuts or wounds. I find none, but, I
know that’s not the only way she could’ve tried to leave. New tears flood my eyes as I look skyward.
“Yaten…” I whimper. “Please don’t let her leave me too! Help me, Yaten!”
I feel Taiki’s breathing go shallow and her heart slow.
Fear grips my heart harder. I shake my head in defiance.
This isn’t happening.
Not again. No. IT ISN’T
HAPPENING!
“I…” Taiki gasps. “I’m s..sorry…I……I didn…didn’t m-mean to…I just…couldn’t…not
without…her…”
I shake my head frantically, pressing my forehead against hers. I won’t let this happen. I won’t let
this happen. I won’t let this happen.
I
feel her go limp in my arms. Her final tears stream down her face from blank,
staring violet eyes.
“Taiki.” I say hoarsely. “You can’t do this to me. You
just can’t.”
I shake her.
“TAIKI! ANSWER ME!” I scream at her lifeless body. “TAAAIIIKIII!”
I scream wordlessly, shaking her violently.
They’ve left me.
They’ve gone away. Faaar away. Gone gone gone
away away gone not here not here…
Suddenly
my mind feels bright and uncluttered.
How
dare they leave me behind?
Yaten left because she thought no one loved her. Taiki left because Yaten left.
Well, I’m gonna do better than both of
them. I’m gonna leave because no one loves me enough
to stay with me AND because Yaten left. See how much better
than them I am? I feel a giggle rising in my throat.
I’ll be leaving now. I jump up, tears gone and a grin
on my face. I skip to the kitchens where I smuggle a small knife. Giggling, I
return to my room and the still-warm body of Taiki. I run my hand along her
face.
“Sweet, smart Taiki.” I whisper. “Why didn’t you wait
for me? I’dve come with
you!”
I giggle more as I look at my newly acquired knife. My heart feels so light as I hold my ticket to see my love and my best
friend. Now…
I slide it across my wrists quickly, imitating what I assume Yaten did. I smile
as I feel my life leaving me. Red red red…I hum Mayonaka Hitori absently.
I
blink as I hear a knock on my door. I grin.
“Even MORE like when Yaten went away.” I giggle aloud.
“Seiya? Is Taiki in there?” my princess’s voice asks.
I giggle more. Princess has red hair. Red like my blood.
Red like Yaten’s room when I found her.
“Nope! She’s gone away like Yaten!” I say childishly.
I feel silly and numb. “Bye-bye Princess! I have to
leave now too!”
I hear a gasp and the door flies open. Kakyuu rushes to me and presses her hands
around my leaking wrists, slowing the red flow. I pull away from her in
confusion. What is she doing? Doesn’t she understand? It’s time to go!
“Don’t do that.” I say. “I have to go now. Will you come too?”
Her crimson eyes widen as she looks at me and the vessel next
to me. Tears flood her eyes as she sees it.
“Don’t cry!” I say with a reassuring smile. “That’s not Taiki anymore. Taiki’s
left to go see Yaten. And now, I have to go to. You
can come with if you like.”
I hold out the knife. She stares at it. My vision blurs suddenly. Are you
coming or not?
“Princess.” I rasp. “Take it and come or say your
goodbyes, I’m leaving.”
I smile as determination appears in her eyes. She takes the knife from me,
obviously making a decision. She won’t copy me and
Yaten, I know. She uses her power to turn the knife into a sword and she
thrusts it into her heart. She coughs up blood and is gone away even before I
am.
“Wait princess, I’m coming too!” I cry out weakly. “I’m…”
…coming too…
