Hi! So this story came around after reading a lot (and i really mean a lot) of fanfiction about this two; mainly i read everything that has Minako on it and i just really like Mina and Kunzite together. I hope all of you like this, because i actually enjoyed writing it!

The title is a quote from Turquoise Silence by Sanober Khan: "Your hand touching mine. This is how galaxies collide."

Oh and also i want to apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes, giving that english isn't my first language.

Anyway, enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I wish i owned Sailor Moon

"Every beautiful being has a heart that once collapsed."

.

I.

She is 9 when she first dreams of it. (Remembers, remembers of it)

But honestly, she is only 9 years old and when she sees castles and an older version of herself that looks like a princess and her princess friends and of a boy with long silver hair and green eyes that looks like a prince, it doesn't feel like a memory, but just a little girl's dream.

In her dreams everything smells of saffron and jasmines.

.

II.

The first nightmare comes when she is 10 years old.

Princess and castles and love are no more. Swords, grey eyes and death take their place.

Minako wakes up screaming and everything smells of death and metal.

That's the last night she cries.

.

III.

At 12 she feels weird, like something is missing.

She longs for blonde buns, purple eyes, chess pieces and homemade cookies (She also starts looking for certain green eyes.)

The first time she says this to her mum it also becomes the last, the threat of a therapist doesn't sounds good no matter how many years you are or how incomplete you feel.

So Minako just smiles brighter and falls in love with boys (sometimes they have green eyes, other times she doesn't care about it, but she always, always avoids the grey ones)

She is also happy with volleyball and singing. Most of the time she almost feels complete

Almost

.

IV.

A white cat finds her and things become strange

Stranger that before, that's it

Apparently she is 13, but also a princess and a hero. Kind of every little girl dream, right? Except that her crush is a demon and she has to kill him.

(She still wears the red bow. it's a reminder of her duties and sacrifices; of the weight over her shoulders)

.

V.

"Your love will be hopeless for all eternity.

You can go on living without having to torment yourself over the ultimate choice - your love or your duty. Your fate is to continue fighting."

Her memories are back and for the first time in a while she is crying.

For everything she has won

(Her memories, what she was missing, her duty)

And for everything she has lost

(Her innocence and her sisters and her lover)

She is a goddess, a princess, a lover and a warrior. Always a warrior first, never forget that.

Adonis words don't shock her that much, her duty has to always comes first (because look what happened the last time she fell in love, everyone she cared about died)

So now she is all grief and dedication.

.

VI.

Minako learns that scars are souvenirs you never lose.

The birthmark on the left side of her abdomen is prove enough of that.

(Venus left side was always weaker, and grey eyes that used to be green remembered that the last time they faced each other. But Kunzite was always slower than her and Venus made sure to remind him of it when she stabbed him on the chest)

.

VII.

At 14 she finds it hard to be herself. Sometimes she doesn't know where Minako ends and Venus begins.

But she wears her mask and says her script while hiding the sharp glint of her eyes. Always searching, always ready to fight. Her sweetness and innocence hide all the things she remembers, they hide all her ruthless cunning.

She watches her charge and sisters-in-arms from afar. Waiting for her time to appear so she can play her role.

The scouts memories aren't back and a part of her wishes that they stay that way, to never fully remember, because 14 years old girls don't go well with memories of killing and being killed.

But sometimes the selfish part of her wants them to remember, to keep her company on her despair.

(The Goddesses of Love just feels so alone sometimes, and misery always loves company)

.

VIII.

Usagi is everything she wishes for and more.

And although it hurts her, Minako lies to her and pretends to be the princess because she needs to protect them. (But she also remembers the last time she lied to Serenity, and how that didn't go really well)

Venus was telling her about the things she sees, the strings that connect some people. And although she is doomed to never see the one's she owns, Venus knows that theirs and the other senshi are gold, because friendship is one of the most pure types of love.

"True love, the one that burns and endures for eternity is shining red" She reminds telling to her little princess

The child of the moon asks her if she has ever seen that kind of strings and the Venusian princess answers that no, because those are the rare ones

(She isn't brave enough to tell her that she sees it everyday on her princess and that the connection goes to the small blue planet near the moon)

Suddenly she feels much older than she should be

.

IX.

When she sees him again his eyes are grey and he smells of death and metal. Minako remembers the times they were together and how he used to hold her and kiss her, while whispering Habibi on her ear.

She still kills him, because her duty always comes first, her faith is to continue fighting.

Back in her home is the first times she cries since her memories are back. She hungers for his taste, his smile, and the feeling of his soul touching hers.

She still loves him and it terrifies her.

(Back then in the Silver Millennium it also did)

.

X.

Venus did not like Endymion back then

And now Minako knows about the stones.

The prince doesn't tell anybody, but she knows, she can feel him. (She is also sure Rei knows too, none of them want to talk about it)

And it makes her furious because even as a stone he is the only person that can really hurt her. Both inside and out.

(No one can hurt you as badly as the people you love)

So she avoids Mamoru apartment even more that before, she didn't liked him that much anyway.

.

XI.

Minako dreams of him more than she likes to admit.

He calls her Freyja and worships her as the goddesses she was, kissing her in places no one has before (Although she is 15 years old and very daring for her age, this memories still put her face the same color of her bow and makes Minako know things of sex that a 15 years old girl shouldn't know)

Sometimes she thinks that maybe she should stop being angry about his betrayal and let things go, because he was brainwashed after all. But then she remembers how green eyes became grey and sees her birthmark on the left side of her abdomen and the idea quickly goes away.

.

XII.

Galaxia comes and her worlds becomes hell.

She gets killed (again)

And comes back to life (again)

But the worst thing is that she attacked her, the most precious person in her life, and a part of her feels even more of a failure than before. She is their leader, and she shouldn't have let that happen.

Her princess has forgiven her and tells her it's time she forgives herself. It will take a while for Minako, but she is getting there.

She is still the leader and Usagi and the girls still need her.

So she puts her mask and tries to move on.

.

XIII.

College is good and a small work on a theater company helps her pay for rent. Being parents free is a blessing, she wasn't sure how much she could stand there fights without using Venus love-me chain on their asses.

She is 20 now and making the groceries when she starts feeling weird (She has been feeling weird since always, but whatever.)

And when she is outside she smells him before she sees him. Her bags fall and he turns around, long silver shining hair and all.

And she shouldn't be surprised, because a part of her always knew. (It's the weird feeling you know? Her sixth sense or some shit like that)

Minako isn't sure if she should run away or kill him right there.

She kind of thinks the last idea sounds better.

But she looks at his face and his eyes are green, so she stands there not sure of what to do while he approaches her and gathers her groceries. His eyes never leave hers and she just knows he remembers everything. Kunzite, her Arabian king in all his magnitude.

"Here, I'm Kahlil" He says with an almost shy smile while he gives her bags back. His voice is like an echo throw her mind, brings too many memories she tried to put on the back of her head.

She thinks that she could kill him now, she should kill him now.

She takes the bags.

"Can I walk you home?"

No. She wants to say no. She should say no.

"Yes"

She gives him one of her bags and starts walking down the street with him by her side.

Everything smells of saffron and jasmines.

.

"Stop.

turn around

and collapse into me,

like the waves

returning to the sea"

Some notes:

Habibi: Arabic word that means "my beloved"

Freyja: The name of the goddess of love, beauty, war and death in Norse mythology, it can also be found as Freya

Kahlil: Male arabic name, that means "Honorable comrade"

So? what do you think? I may or may not want to write a second chapter with Kunzite/Kahlil POV (who i'm kidding? i already have some paragraphs, i'm just waiting to see if this has a good reception)

Anyway, thanks for reading and please let me know what you think (:
