Warnings: Implied character death *points to prompt*
Word Count: 353
Summary: Those of the Silver Millenium were long-lived, but not immortal.
Prompt:Crossover: Sailor Moon/YuYuHakusho, Saturn/Koenma: Beauty in death--"Isn't it lovely, this final moment of existence?"
Notes: Writers block had me working on this until the last minute.^^;; Hope it works.
Koenma had known this day would come for a long time. The queens entrusted with the ginzuisho could live for millennia without showing any sign of aging, but they were still mortal. When the time came for Neo Queen Serenity to enter his realm, he elected to guide her himself. He hadn’t expected one of her former guardians to insist on accompanying him (though he probably should have). Yet one did, looking him in the eye as only Yuusuke ever had.
Technically he shouldn’t allow it. Dead was dead, after all, and spirits who had moved on were forbidden from returning to the human world until they were reborn. Considering her area of influence, Sailor Saturn should have known this better than anyone. Or maybe, it was her familiarity with death that made her brave enough to broach the idea.
He allows it. Because she’s asking not as one of the Sailor Senshi making a request to be there for her queen one final time, but as one friend asking to be there for another.
---
They find Usagi sitting with ChibiUsa, relaxing in their favorite overstuffed armchairs, empty teacups and plates on the small table between them. The princess is grown now, taller than her mother (though to Hotaru she will always be the little girl that was her first real friend). Usagi looks exhausted, and ChibiUsa’s smile doesn’t quite reach her eyes. Still, Hotaru can’t help thinking that she’s never seen her friend and queen look more alive than now, as the two playfully argue over exactly why Usagi’s senshi were better than her daughter’s. Usagi’s impish grin is the same as Hotaru remembers it, and her eyes haven’t lost their sparkle. It’s not long, though, before her eyelids flutter as if she’s sleepy.
When Koenma steps forward, Hotaru puts a hand on his arm to stop him. When he looks at her questioningly, she gives him a rather sharp look in response. The final moment of anyone’s existence is beautiful, not to be needlessly hurried or prolonged. He should know that. He frowns, but makes no further move.
Usagi shuts her eyes.
