flameandpassion | 43 [Accidental Video]

[The PCD is thrown, tossed aside, and it catches the last moments of Hino Rei's transformation into Sailor Mars. The flames and fire fall away to reveal the senshi of passion and war, her gloved fingers curled into fists as she stares, trembling with unreleased fury, at a large boulder, far in the distance.

Fire engulfs her hand as she reaches up to pull back her bow.]

Mars Flame Sniper!

[The arrow rockets from her fingers and, in the distance, a burst of flame -- it has hit its mark.

Without hesitation, Mars goes again.]

Mars Flame Sniper!

[Again, the arrow hits, and again, fire spreads from Mars' fingertips.]

Mars Flame Sniper!

[The boulder is now no longer there -- demolished during the second round of attack -- but the senshi doesn't seem to care.

She's beginning to grow winded, but snarls out the command regardless, the bow forming brighter than before -- ]

Mars -- Flame -- Sniper!

[The arrow flies from her fingertips, but the aim is off -- it sinks into the ground, skidding along the snow, creating a near tidal-wave of steam and water as the flames melt the ice. She stumbles backwards, her legs quivering with the effort, before she sinks to her knees in the snow, her fingers digging into the ground as she, finally, allows herself to cry.]

ooc: Cloud lost his memories, which makes for a seriously upset Sailor Mars.

What can I do?

[She's silent for a long moment, trying to figure out what to say.

The first thing that pops into her head:]

-- have tea with me when I get back?

...Let me know when you do.

[Even if his guilt might flavor the tea terribly.]

I will.

[She won't complain. And she'll give you a hug.]

All right.

[Warning: He might not let go.]

[Totally fine by her, she likes hugs. She'll be done in about an hour.]

[And he'll be chilling in the house, thinking too much.]

[Rei will appear, as Rei, in her priestess robes, tapping at his door a little softer than normal.]

Ukitake-san?

[When he answers the door, Rei will notice that he is not in his Shinigami uniform, but just a simple yukata.]

Come in, come in.

[She looks tired, but smiles all the same.

It wibbles for a second...

And congratulations, Ukitake, you have a priestess around your waist for a hug.]

[And there's a Rei attached to him. Which isn't bad, just surprising. He pushes the door shut and slowly wraps an arm around her while his other hand rests lightly on her head.

He'll stay like this for as long as she needs him to.]

His memory will come back.

[It's muffled.]

...I'm sure of it.

Please don't feel like it's your fault.

I see both sides, Rei-san. It doesn't make anything easier.

No, it doesn't.

[She can understand feeling horrendously guilty for something outside of her control, after all. She'll never shake off Usagi's death.]

Just give me some time.

[Maybe a lot of it.]

Right.

[She finally lets go of the shinigami.]

Did you make tea yet?

Yes, it's in the kitchen. I hope you like green tea.

Green tea is fine.

Good.

[He travels the short distance to the kitchen and pours two cups, quickly taking them to the table.]
