Neo Queen Serenity sat on the throne very frustrated. Attacks with the youma had been getting more and more frequent on the kingdom. The worst thing was that her fiancé and fellow Senshi wouldn't let her fight. It was only three years into Crystal Tokyo and they were being attacked by a new enemy. Her and Endimyion hadn't been married yet or and Rini wasn't born yet either. The reason Mamoru and her weren't married yet was because a) He hadn't proposed to her yet and b) She was getting mixed feelings from him. Whenever she asked him if he wanted to go for a walk or go out he would say no. Or he would go out and not enjoy himself at all. Queen Serenity let out an exasperated sigh right when Sailor Uranus came in.
"Are you alright my Queen?" Queen Serenity smiled warmly back at her.
"Yes, yes Uranus nothing you need to worry about." Uranus gave her a suspicious look, but didn't say anything.
"Alright your Majesty, I've come to report that 50 youma have been killed by the Senshi today."
"50?!?! That many? That's it I'm going to get my broach." She said standing up, but sat back down when Sailor Mars came rushing in.
"My Queen youma have surrounded palace." Serenity pounded here fist on the the throne.
"Shimatta! I'll be right back it's time I taught these youma a lesson." She stood up and made her way to her quarters. But not before the Prince of Jupiter, Trowa, stopped her.
"My Queen." He said kneeling and before her. Neo Queen Serenity laughed.
"Trowa, Trowa get up your going to get your clothes dirty!" he got up and dusted his clothes.
"I've come to report we know who's attacking the kingdom. It's the Sol kingdom."
Serenity's smile instantly vanished and she gasped.
"But the moon and sun kingdom have never fought before why are they attacking?"
"We don't know." Said the Prince of Jupiter nervously. "They claim that we have betrayed them in some way. My Queen, they are very angry. Helios won't join either side and they claim him a traitor. It is true that he once was a part of the Sol kingdom, but he left when he got called to be the guardian of the crystal and dreams. They want him to use the golden crystal against us, but he refused saying the crystal was not meant to use in war."
"Helios is right, the Ginzuishou and the golden crystal are brother and sister. They will refuse to fight each other even if the Sol kingdom did get their hands on it. You are dismissed Trowa." He nodded and walked away, his boots making a clicking sound as the stepped across the marble.
Still making her way to her bedroom this time she was stopped by Wufei, her older brother and co-general with Haruka in her army.
"Oniisan!" she exclaimed joyfully and hugged him. Wufei looked down at his little sister smiling.
"Hello Serenity. How are you?" he asked kindly. The only person he was ever this kind to was his firefly, the Senshi of Destruction and Rebirth, Saturn. "Serenity, I'm here to inform you on our fighting status. Sorry." Serenity nodded understanding and released him from her hug.
"The Sol kingdom has us outnumbered Serenity, 5,000 to 20,000. You have to understand though Serenity that they live on a star that is more than five times our planets size Serenity." He said seeing her looking downcast.
"Thanks Wufei…I'm off to get my brooch. Ja ne." she said and walked off, but was stopped yet again by Heero. He was the brother of Sailor Mars, Rei. She bowed to him.
"Hello Aries, what gives you the pleasure of this visit?" she asked kindly Heero (that's his informal name.) and Serenity didn't get along very well from the 1st day they met. Hotaru had been teaching Serenity how to use a glaive and she accidentally cut Heero on the arm. She tried to explain that it was an accident, but he wouldn't hear it. he had ignored her ever since.
"Hn. Rei told me to tell you that don't even bother to get your brooch. They won't let you fight." Serenity frowned
"Too bad, Tell Rei there is no chance she's gonna stop me." she said with a smile on her face. Heero glared at her.
"I am not your messenger boy Serenity. Get someone else to do it." he said and started to walk away. Serenity had had enough of this. He's not getting away this time, not over my dead body he isn't. She ran up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder. He stiffened immediately.
"Heero, I want you to know that I am really sorry for any way that I have offended you. We haven't been on good terms since we met. I for one am sick of it. What do you say, truce?" he looked at her, and she smiled kindly. In a swift movement he knocked her hand away.
"Not a chance Serenity, you should of said that when you hurt me." he said in a monotone and walked away without turning back. Serenity gaped at him. That was definitely not the answer she expected. I hurt him? How did I hurt him?? Serenity couldn't help but shed a tear. She hated hurting people, it tore her to pieces.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I watched out of the corner of my eye as Serenity, my love, shed a tear. I almost watched in slow motion as it fell to the ground in with a SPLASH. I saw it play over many times in my eyes. I don't want to hurt her…oh Serenity if you only knew…. Sighing he walked back to his palace room, the splash still echoing in his ears.
In there, Duo, A.K.A Shihikari (known formally) was playing with a ping pong ball. For some reason he found great delight in throwing up, down, sideways, floating it etc. He stopped however when I came in.
"Heero, my man! What's up?" he said with that idiotic goofy smile of his "Did you tell her?" I looked/glared at him
"I told her what Rei wanted me to tell her if that's what you mean." He said in his usual monotone. Duo looked shocked.
"Heero! If you haven't noticed there is a WAR going on here! No offense to Serenity or anything, but she could die ANY DAY! When are you going to tell her that you love her?!? Heero you've admitted to everyone in the palace, everyone BUT Serenity!" Sighing Heero sat on his bed.
"What am I supposed to say? Endimyion isn't right for her, the whole court knows it. I have a suspicion he's cheating on her Duo. So I'm supposed to go up and say 'Hello Serenity what a fine day it is. Your boyfriend is cheating on you, I love you.'" He rolled his eyes, but Duo smiled
"Something like that!" he said grinning ear to ear. Little did they know they were being watched.
A/N: Once again… I'm not sure if I should continue this… I probably will anyway though…. ^_^ review review review…
