Century True Love

Summary: There once lived many centuries ago (you the reader can pick the year) a young prince who was and wasn't looking for love. But not just any love from anyone but his true love. Would he find it from a young girl he meets one night under a tree? Or is she just like the others?

Just another story this time filled to the bream with fluffiness!

This story is again Prince Endymion (Mamoru/Darien) and Princess Serenity (Usagi/Serena). Like always with me. (Since they are my favorite and they are so fun to write with!) … And what it could have been like if they had met and gotten together back a lot of, centuries ago.

NO SM powers or action just a prince meeting a princess on earth with a little help from a few others.

The four generals and four inners are in this but the girls are just really mentioned near the end. The generals play a bigger part then the girls.

Just a short little story that popped in my mind one day. I hope you enjoy. And I'm sorry but there will be NO surprises or wenches in this story. So sorry. Just fluffy sweetness so sweet your teeth will hurt!

I am keeping this at an M rating for a future chapter. (Not real dirty but enough to get the M rating) SO don't read if you are not of age or you can't handle…sex. (Oh my!)

AND remember NO I don't own Sailor Moon or the idea or the characters just using them for my own fun! blah blah blah! Eva

Chapter ONE

Prince Endymion walked outside on to the balcony to get some fresh air. He really left the ball to get away from the women just like he did at every ball he had to attend. Single women even some married ones seemed to be drawn to him. He hated how they hung on him and wanted to get with him. Not only women his age but also older ones. Some of the women were old enough to be his mother or even his grandmother. But he wouldn't have said anything to offend the women. He was a perfect gentleman after all. Endymion would just get away the best he could. If it wasn't the woman trying to get him for herself then it seemed that she was trying to get Endymion to get with a daughter.

Endymion had lost count of how many not only wanted to be his wife or mother-in-law but also those who asked him to be their lover. A few of the bolder women even offering him money to be their personal "boy toy" their "eye candy" and personal "plaything" making Endymion think that they forgot that he was a future king.

It got to the point to where Endymion just stopped looking and talking to any women, unless he had to at some function, after a few women not only tried to trick him or trap him into marriage but some that he found out were already married and they had wanted to leave their husbands for him.

Endymion had even lost track of how many men wanted to challenge him to a duel thinking that Endymion was their wife's lover when he wasn't. Most of the time, Endymion didn't even know who the woman was. He had never even seen them before. It took his father having to step in and talk to the men so Endymion would be safe.

To this day Endymion still wondered where and when the rumor started that he was a great lover when in reality he had never been with anyone. Sure he had kissed a few and made out with some back during his teen years, but when they got too aggressive Endymion was turned off and then left being thankful that most of them seemed to be a little drunk at the time making his get away easier. After too many started trying harder and got more aggressive, Endymion soon stopped totally even courting women. Even today he wasn't looking for anyone to be in his life.

But Endymion knew that since he was almost twenty-two that he would have to marry soon. So he had to be nice to the women. But lucky for him his parents were letting him pick since they both believed in true love. But Endymion knew they wouldn't let him wait forever. His mother was already talking about grandchildren. Endymion wished at times that he had a sibling who could have given some also. But it was left up to him to give the grand kids.

Endymion sighed out loud and looked up at the clear night sky. It was a beautiful calm night and he was thankful for it at the moment. His eyes suddenly went wide then he ran to the stairs that went toward the gardens when he heard two ladies, who had been trying all night to get him to take them to bed, start to walk outside toward him. Each one looking for him then getting upset with the other. If the two wouldn't have each stopped and started to yell at the other, Endymion would have been seen and then trapped and then he would have had to put up with the two again and those two were hard to dodge.

Endymion ran down to the gardens and looked for a place to hide. He looked toward a big weeping willow tree when he heard a female voice say, "Come under here. You can see them but no one will see you. As a matter of fact you can see everything that is going on."

Endymion not thinking about anything but hiding, moved some branches then ducked his head, then slowly went under some of the branches that went to the ground and came face to face with a young girl dressed all in white. Her light coloring hair was up with two balls of hair then twin pigtails with the pigtails flowing down her back. Her dress was made from satin and so white it shone a little in the dark. Endymion realized that the tree was a good place to hide since he hadn't seen her before and she was right about seeing everything. They could see people inside at the ball through the windows and they both saw the two women who were looking for Endymion walking in the opposite direction from them. They could hear the music from the orchestra faintly.

Endymion realized that the girl, after he stood up fully, came to his shoulders. She looked up at him and smiled making him smile down at her. There wasn't much light to see really well but enough to know that someone else was near and the two could see the other smiling.

"Thank you very much. Have you been in here long?" He asked still looking at her wishing he could see what color her eyes were. "Yes. I hate having to go to these functions so I leave when no one is looking and then I'm alone." The girl answered still looking up at him not wanting to tell the truth that she hated all the older men that would look at her. If it wasn't for her father the girl knew those men would be bolder. She had just started going to the functions since her mother said it was time. The girl hated to think about the future functions she would have to attend and the men who would be there.

"Who are you?" Endymion asked wondering who she was. She was already starting to interest him since she was smart enough to leave that boring function.

"I am Serenity. Who are you?" Serenity asked already knowing full well who he was thanks to her mother pointing the young prince out to her after they had arrived earlier that day. Serenity like all the others did think Endymion was handsome with his black hair and dark blue eyes and his tall fit body frame that made him stand out from other men. But just like all the other men Serenity wouldn't dare go and talk to Endymion alone afraid he would just want to take her to bed like all the others did.

Already at her young age Serenity had lost count of how many men had told her when her father wasn't near, that they wanted her in their bed. What they wanted to do next Serenity still did not know since she as a little afraid to ask. She could tell it wasn't good since the men gave her looks that made her feel uncomfortable checking her body out. To her all that men wanted to do was take you to bed.

What about talking first and getting to know one another Serenity thought. She hated that she was growing up for Serenity wanted to be a little girl being protected by her parents forever. Serenity didn't think that there was any man out there who she could trust except her father and older brother. Her body might have been getting mature but her mind needed to catch up and it would.

"My name is Endymion." Endymion said after a few seconds had past. He had stood there wondering if he should tell the truth and chance this Serenity girl knowing who he was and start to flirt like the others or just make up a name. Endymion figured he should tell the truth since he was sure Serenity would learn it later. He also thought she had to be young since she was so short so she might not flirt.

"Oh you're that young single hot prince that they all want to take to bed. So they can check out your so called sexy body." Serenity said matter of fact, as she then looked down to the ground then around like she was looking for something. Yes she had heard the tales about Prince Endymion but Serenity didn't listen. She never listened to gossip or believe any of it since she hated people talking about others. But it was hard not to hear the other women talking about Endymion there at the ball. So Serenity left out being sick of hearing them.

Serenity wondered how the other women could talk about Endymion like they were when it seemed to Serenity that they didn't know him.

Endymion smiled then suddenly laughed. "Yes I guess so. How old are you Serenity?" He asked thinking Serenity had to be older since she said what she did. "I'm fifteen almost sixteen in a few weeks." Serenity answered as she went to sit back down on the ground. "Oh." Endymion said then looked away from her. She was way too young for him he thought. As a matter of fact he had never met any girl her age before. All the females he had to deal with were older then Serenity even the daughters, whose mothers wanted them with Endymion, were older then Serenity.

"Would you like to sit and have a drink?" Serenity asked as she held up a glass toward him. She figured that since he really couldn't see her then it was safe enough for him to join her. And Serenity really didn't believe the tales about him. He didn't seem that way and he wasn't acting like the other men toward her. And for all anyone knew Endymion just might be a guy who liked other guys Serenity thought.

Endymion looked back at Serenity and noticed the food and drink around her on a blanket. Serenity smiled at him and again Endymion smiled then automatically sat down beside her. Something about Serenity made Endymion feel relaxed and trusting and he wasn't ready to go back in and deal with the other women just yet.

After he was settled Serenity handed him a wine glass which Endymion took a sip and noticed it was wine but he didn't say anything. But he did wonder where she got it. They sat beside each other and started talking and eating the food she had. His mind registered that Serenity was a princess and by what she said her father was one of the most powerful kings around. Endymion thought to himself what luck that he just met the daughter of the man his own father wanted Endymion to meet.

Endymion had been sent by his father to go to that area to this annual get together to meet with all the area kings. He had told Endymion how much he wanted his son to meet Serenity's father saying how it would benefit their kingdom. This was Endymion's first time going to this get together for before he had been away at school and then training. In reality he had been in hiding not wanting to deal with the women. His father couldn't make it this time since he was sick.

What Endymion didn't know was that his father faked being sick so Endymion would have to go. His parents were hoping that their young son would meet someone and settle down soon. And Endymion's mother wanted him to get out again around others. She didn't think it was healthy for him to hide from women.

While Endymion and Serenity sat and talked late into the night they both lost track of the time since they were enjoying each others company. Serenity didn't flirt with Endymion like other women did and Endymion didn't try to touch her or kiss her like other men had. The only time Endymion got close was at one time when he gave Serenity his jacket to wear over her bare shoulders since the night had started to cool down. Something he had never done before with another female and something no other man had done before for Serenity.

Endymion finally took Serenity in and to her room in the early morning hours. He was surprised with himself that he of all people forgot the time and was enjoying himself with the younger girl. Endymion had never sat for so long with anyone just talking.

Later that late morning at the brunch, Endymion spotted Serenity when she showed up and automatically went straight to her and this time met her parents. His young mind registered that Serenity's mother didn't push the two together like others mothers had done to him in the past with their daughters. She didn't talk and point out things about Serenity. If anything Serenity's mother just smiled and let the two be.

She had known the whole time that they had been under the tree the night before talking. The queen had even gone to the two women looking for the young prince and she sent them to a totally different area just so Serenity and Endymion could talk alone and get to know each other. Serenity's mother didn't believe the tales about the "hot" young prince. The queen could tell by his actions that Endymion wasn't like they said. For if he was, he wouldn't have spent almost six hours alone with her daughter.

During the meal Endymion sat beside Serenity and her father and talked to the man enjoying the other mans stories. Afterwards Endymion took Serenity riding just to get away from the other people. He had seen the women looking and talking softly to each other. The women had all wondered where Endymion had gone to the night before so early in the evening and they wondered who the lucky woman might have been each looking at one another trying to figure out which of the women were missing.

Endymion had even noticed some men looking and checking Serenity out making Endymion realize that Serenity was very pretty but still young. He loved her eyes now that there was light and he could see them.

As they rode around with their guards not far from them within eye sight but not hearing, Endymion automatically held Serenity tightly and close to his body since she was sitting sideways in front of him. At first when Serenity told that she couldn't ride alone Endymion thought that she was just trying to get him to hold her like so many others had in the past. But Endymion soon realized that she really couldn't and then felt bad that he had compared Serenity to the other woman. She was nothing like any of them. Endymion held her tight also since her father warned him not to let Serenity fall. She was his baby girl after all.

That evening Endymion again sat near Serenity and her parents during the banquet. Once again making the other women talk in whispered voices all wondering what Serenity's parents were thinking. And this time making the other men around mostly the married ones and the ones wanting the other women, glad Endymion wasn't alone.

Endymion loved visiting with Serenity. She made him smile with her innocence. It was refreshing to him made him happy that he could be himself around her. Endymion also liked talking with her father and learning how the other man ruled his own kingdom. The man reminded him of his own father. And Endymion loved that Serenity's mother didn't ask him fifty questions about his future and ask if he was looking for a wife.

Serenity's father found out where Endymion lived and made arrangements to visit the next season "in a few months". Endymion agreed and couldn't wait as his mind started thinking of the different places he couldn't wait to show Serenity on his father's lands.

When Endymion left four days later when Serenity and her parents left, he and Serenity hugged and he gave her a red rose and a kiss on her forehead making Serenity blush and smile. She gave him a small innocent kiss on his check then ran toward her father with the rose being held close to her heart. Endymion and Serenity waved to each other as she rode away sitting in front of her father with her mother close beside them on her own horse and their guards all around.

As soon as Serenity was out of sight Endymion and some guards left for home with Endymion thinking of the little princess with a smile on his face. He couldn't wait to see her again so she could make him smile. And Serenity couldn't wait to see Endymion since he was the first male, besides her father and brother that made Serenity feel safe and relaxed.

When he arrived back home Endymion told about the visit. His mother noticed how happy Endymion was when he talked about Serenity. When asked about her, Endymion told her age and made the comment that he thought of her like a little sister. His mother only smiled. How would Endymion know what having a sister was like? He was an only child the queen would think to herself. She stopped pushing him to meet other women and in her own way made Endymion think about Serenity only.

Some weeks later when Endymion's four newest personal guards showed up with a young girl with very long hair that went to her ankles and sky blue eyes Endymion's mother's thoughts were of Serenity. Endymion had told what she looked like and when he did he went into such details it made his mother smile. Endymion had never done that before with any other female.

Everyone standing around in the room looked at the beautiful girl just staring at her in awe. She was a rare beauty, even with the dirty dress and the dirt on her face she was breath taking. No one made any sudden moves since they could all tell that the girl was scared. They all wondered why the four guards had her with them.

The four young guards who were all generals thanks to the king and queen being their uncle and aunt, all stood near the girl suddenly realizing that they had made a huge mistake in taking the girl since everyone just looked at them. Each one of the young men started to think of a way to get out of the room. They hadn't expected so many people and their queen to be in that room.

When Endymion walked into the room with his father as they were each talking, he looked up and over when he heard his name. Endymion went wide eyed and caught Serenity when she ran to him saying his name again. He noticed her tears and got mad as she clung to his body. Endymion held her as he looked around for her parents. He realized they weren't around and noticed that Serenity was in a dirty dress and she needed a bath.

"Serenity what are you doing here?" He asked her in a soft voice. Serenity only cried into his neck as her hold on him tightened as her body trembled a little. "What the hell is going on? Why in the Gods name is Princess Serenity doing here… In tears….. And without her parents!" Endymion yelled out making everyone in the room go wide eyed. They had never heard their prince get so loud or so mad before. Everyone then looked over at the four. Those four had each jumped then moved closer to each other when Endymion yelled out.

Endymion noticing the people and where they were looking looked at the four guys also. The four guys all looked down blushing. "Well guys care to answer me?" Endymion asked as he walked toward them slowly with a glare on his face and his eyes narrow. Serenity was being held to the front of his body by Endymion with both his arms around her with her legs dangling. She still had her arms wrapped around his neck with her head toward the crock of his neck. The four guys who were scared of nothing suddenly each had a shiver go down their backs.

"I asked you four a question. Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, Kunzite." Endymion said slowly looking at them each one at a time. The four stayed silent each not sure who should start talking first.

"Answer me NOW!" Endymion suddenly demanded as his hold on Serenity tightened.

"We….we…we took… her." Zoisite who had light orange hair and had his birthday September 10th whispered. "From…. the…..a village." Kunzite with long blond almost white hair, with his birthday on October 22nd whispered. "We….we liked….we liked her long… hair." Jadeite with short yellow/blond hair and a birthday on April 17th said in an even softer whisper. "We didn't…. do anything… to her." Nephrite the last with his long dark brown hair and a birthday on December 5th said above a whisper. (HA I used the inners birthday and month for the guys!)

The four went wide eyed again as Endymion made a fist with both hands then yelled at them each. Making the four each jump back bumping into the wall as Endymion yelled out telling how they had better not had touched her in any way and how they scared Serenity and that they each knew better then to kidnap and a princess at that.

Endymion's parents went up to him and Endymion calmed down and got silent. Both the king and queen had smiles on. They had both looked at each other after Endymion had said Serenity's name and held her to his body.

"This is princess Serenity?" His mother acting surprised asked with a huge smile on her face but it disappeared after her son looked at in her direction. "Yes." Endymion said as his grip on Serenity loosened some. He had pulled her even closer to his body while he had been yelling. "Well let's take her home." The king said. The three of them looked at Serenity when she whispered something. "What Serenity? We didn't understand." Endymion said in a gentle voice as he pulled her head back a little by her hair. He finally noticed her hair was totally all down.

"Nan Nan was visiting her family in that village. We don't live there." Serenity said looking at him in his eyes. "Is that your nurse dear?" The queen asked. Serenity looked at her and nodded her head yes. "Get a map!" The king then yelled out as he turned to hide his own smile.

While they waited the king told everyone but the four guards to leave the room. Endymion let Serenity down but kept his arms around her since he could tell by her shaking body that she was still scared. She had her arms around him also.

After the map was given to the king the four guys looked then pointed to where they thought they had found Serenity. It was about a weeks ride away from where they were now. Endymion and his father talked about where Endymion had met Serenity in a different area. Serenity looked at the map but shook her head no. She didn't know where her father's kingdom was. She never had to know before.

Endymion sighed then looked down at the young princess as Serenity looked up at him. He still had his arms around her body. "Mother could you please take Serenity to my floor." Endymion said looking at his mom. "Do you want to give her a room by yours?" The king asked. "No! She will go in his room… Endymion is the only one Serenity knows. Let us not scare her even more." The queen said as she took Serenity's hand. Serenity let her and then looked back at Endymion. He smiled and let her go. "Go on. I'll be there soon." Endymion said softly as he smiled.

His mother noticed how his eyes got soft when he looked at the younger girl. 'Yes with the young princess with him he will want her! Oh wedding bells will be ringing soon!' The queen's mind screamed out to herself. She smiled even more.

Serenity nodded her head to Endymion then let the queen take her out of the room with Endymion and the others watching. "We need to go out and find out if her father is looking for her. I'm sure he is or will be. He was very protected of his daughter. Don't want to start a war." Endymion said after the two were out and he looked at his father. The king agreed then smiled at the four guys who were still standing by their king and prince. The four all looked at their uncle and then looked down to the floor.

"You four will each go out with others. It's your job to find Serenity's parents. Do not come back until they are told personally." The king said then he left the room leaving the four alone with their still angry cousin. The king had a mission for one of his messengers that needed to be carried out that night without a second to lose.

The four young generals, who were each about two to three years younger then the prince, looked at their future king who looked back at them. "Rest up tonight for you leave first thing in the morning." Endymion said. He then turned and left the room. The four looked at each other then sighed deeply. They had just gotten home.

"It's your entire fault Kunzite!" Zoisite suddenly said turning and looking at him. "What! No it's not! Jadeite wanted to touch her hair!" Kunzite yelled out as he looked at Zoisite and then at Jadeite. "Shut up! No! Don't you blame only me! You wanted to touch it also!" Jadeite yelled out looking at them both. While the three glared at each other Nephrite slowly tried to leave the room. "Nephrite where do you think you are going! You said to take her!" Kunzite suddenly said as he spotted the other teen trying to leave.

Nephrite stopped and looked at him as Kunzite went to stand in front of him and Zoisite stood on his left side and Jadeite stood on the right. "I didn't mean it! Zoisite was the one who went to her and started to talk to her! It's his fault!" Nephrite yelled out. "What not me! It was Kunzite!" Zoisite could be heard yelling out making Kunzite then yell out his answer as he blamed Jadeite making Jadeite yell out his response trying to blame Nephrite.

The four guys walked out of the room still arguing with each other on which of them was to blame, each knowing they were all at fault.

To be continued.
