Disclaimer: No I do not own Sailor Mars. But I do own her mother, father, and the god. Not to mention the most important thing, the plot! Yup you guessed. I own that to...yay!

A/N: I am from here on out redoing this story so it will be different.

A young teenage princess with long satin like raven hair sat at her window gazing off at her beautiful planet of fire, Mars. She sighed as the people scampered amongst the royal cities streets.

Look at them. I would give anything to be free and have not a care in the Cosmos like those mortals. The princess thought to herself.

Suddenly, her chamber doors opened revealing a beautiful woman in a long flowing red dress. It looked as if fire was dancing around her. Her hair was long past her feet and was held up in a small crown with flames ravishing through the ancient substance. Her features were that of a beautiful woman yet showed little signs of age. Her features grew tense as she stared at her daughter.

"Oh, Rei. When are you ever going to stop daydreaming and return to where you are needed?" Her mother asked a bit of concern tinted in her delicate voice. Rei turned her head to face her mother and released a sigh.

"Oh mother. When are you going to realize that your daughter wishes to not return to the needs of the palace? My only wish is to be free yet normal." She replied as she returned to her gazing out the window.

The Queen's face tightened as the sound of depressment was heard in her lovely daughter's voice. She slowly made her way across the room, closing the chamber door behind her. Gently placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder, she spoke.

"Oh honey. I know how you feel. That is the way I felt for the longest time. But then your mother came to realize her true destiny. I know it seems your father and I are asking a lot of you, but we are just trying to keep you safe and to lead you to your destiny."

"Tch. You mean my enslavement to the god of Mars. I still have no clue why you would force your own blood to marry to a killer like the god of Mars." She replied turning to the Queen and facing her argument to her mother. The Queen sighed.

She is just as stubborn and care free as I was so long ago. The Queen stated subconsciously.

"We do not wish to enslave you to him. But rather give love to you. The god of Mars is really not all that bad. The god is also your age. We think that you two would be perfect for each other. We are only trying to make you happy. My daughter. Your father and your mother love you dearly. We only wish you could see it."

The Queen winced as she heard the whimpers from the young princess. She reached her hand down and wiped the tears that had found their way down the princess's check.

"Please mother. Just go. Leave me to my loneliness and suffering." The princess cried out.

"But Rei." She was then cut off by the princess.

"Just go! Leave me!" She yelled out in pain.

The Queen stood and regained her composure as she stared at her daughter with pain in her eyes. She then slowly turned and disappeared out of the chamber doors. Leaving the weeping princess, again, alone in her quiet chambers.

The Queen slowly entered the throne room. The King raised his head at the sight of his love.

"My dear Rosalind. How was your talk with our daughter?" The King asked with a brisk chuckle at the end of his comment. Rosalind glided over to her husband, her king and sat next to him in her royal throne as her face tightened a little is displeasure.

"The talk you talk about well it didn't go to well. Oh Max, why must we force her into this. You should have seen the hatred and cruelty in her eyes. What have we done?" Rosalind began crying into her delicate hands as sobs were heard.

"What have we done? We have made our own daughter hate us." The whimpers became uncontrollable as the king took his queen into his arms.

"Shh she doesn't hate you…she is just mad at me. Don't worry honey." Her cries where muffled by her leaning into his chest crying away as he comforted her.

Rei dried her eyes as she glanced back at her door.

Why don't my parents understand? They have no clue how I feel. Her mind pondered.

She suddenly turned sensing a quick movement among her chambers. Rei lifted her head to look at her sacred fire. It had begun burning bright and twisting in the air as if a ghostly wind had blown it wildly. She gazed at the fire. Oh how beautiful it was. The way the flames danced around the shadows of her chamber. She slowly stood and walked towards the fire as if it was calling her.

"But how? I didn't do a spell." Rei stared on as the fire continued its movement. Suddenly, a faint whisper was heard calling Rei towards it. Rei blinked in bewilderment as she slowly sat at the cushion in front of the fire.

"Please don't cry fire maiden. It only shows a weakness on such a beautiful being." Rei blinked and then looked around her room expecting it to be her father playing some kind trick on her. The voice then giggled as he stared at the confused princess.

"No Princess. This isn't a trick. I have come to give you advice. I heard your cry from the heavens. And I would like to help calm that cry and release the laughter that your parents love." Rei's face quickly stiffened as she heard the mention of her parents.

"How would thou know of my parents? Why would you care of such insolence feelings of mine anyways?" She replied rather coldly.

"Ah the same ruthless attitude carried on in the Mars blood." The mysterious voice replied surpassing yet another short giggle. Rei closed her eyes and sighed.

"And I'm supposed to sit here and listen to some voice. What, do you find me to be crazy? Ha...well I would hate to..." She suddenly stopped, as if something had told her to. And she had complied with their plea.

"Now, please princess, tell me why you think such terrible things about your parents?"

Rei nodded as she felt a warmth and comfort in the voice. It's weird. I feel as if I have heard his voice before. She thought to herself.

"My parents wish for me to marry a ruthless killer for I have never even met. I don't want to marry. I just want to live a life of my own. Not one where one is forced to do what the other pleads. I am being forced to marry the ruthless god of Mars."

The voice softened as he realized soft muffled cries had begun escaping the young princess's throat.

"Shh...You shouldn't cry. You can do what your heart pleads. Everyone is in control of their own destiny, even a young princess like you. Now please I don't have long to talk. Just promise me one thing?"

Rei nodded her head in acknowledgment.

"Just try to be happy and don't worry about this killer. I am sure that you will find your own love. Now I must leave. Farewell my fire maiden." A strong wind then wisped through the chamber and extinguished the fire to oblivion. Rei leaned over and chanted a spell.

A moment later the sacred fire returned, glowing its usual glow and no voice attached.

Rei sighed. And to think, I was actually beginning to like that voice. I could of swore that I heard his voice somewhere before.
