Prologue:
Everything was out of order. Nothing made sense anymore. Her memories felt like they were a puzzle someone had put together wrong. She could see flashes, but the chronology is wrong.
The first picture that came to her mind was seeing the queen ascending the throne, nervous and teeming with anxiety. Her beloved husband at her side, encouraging and supporting her.
But then the scene changed and she could see herself, small and afraid as she hid in the temple. At last her father had found her and scooped her up. She had cried in his arms all the way back to her room.
Again the scene shifted and she saw herself holding a beautiful baby girl, thinking to herself about how much she wished her father could be with her. Tears formed in her eyes as the darling baby girl cooed in her arms.
Another shift, sitting in that chamber holding her sleeping mother's hand just praying that she would wake up. Her father would not have wanted this life for her.
The last thing she was a pair of sapphire eyes looking at her as if she were familiar and a stranger at the same time. The distance in those eyes made her heart break in two.
Chapter 1: Lost Prince
*Kiyoko*
As the young queen wakes up, she cannot get her bearings, still confused by the dreams or rather memories that have consumed her mind for however long she had been out. Kiyoko had no clue how long that had been. The raven haired queen began to sit up and quickly found the strong arms of her wife supporting her. Kiyoko looked at Seiya and everything that had happened before she had passed out flashed in her mind. All that she could do was whisper, "It's true, isn't it?"
Her beloved Seiya smiled weakly and nodded, "Yes Kiyo-chan. It is true. Hestia vouched for her. Apparently it's part of why she's here as well." Seiya sighed, "Usagi and Serenity believe that they're telling the truth and so they've started planning a trip to investigate because that isn't the only thing going on there, on that planet."
Kiyoko felt herself going a bit numb, "What else is going on?" There was something in the emotions she was sensing from Seiya that she did not like at all.
Pleading in her midnight eyes, Seiya replied as she gripped Kiyoko's hand, "Slow down Kiyoko. Take a moment and let yourself recover. They will not do anything without you. Trust me, that has been established." There was a sense of bitterness in her mind as she said that.
Kiyoko looked down at their hands, "So, I take it that Haruka threw a fit while I was asleep?" She paused and then it occurred to her, "How long have I been out Seiya?"
Her Starlight King and partner shifted in her chair and looked away, "You've been out for almost four days Kiyo-chan. We weren't certain when you would wake up and it took everything in her for Usagi to not bolt the moment Botan told her."
Frustration washed over Kiyoko and she snapped, "I understand Seiya! But he is my FATHER! You know what he meant to me!" She paused as she read her beloved's mind and then she felt her body temperature go up at least three degrees, "You didn't fight for them to wait for me! Our daughters and Haruka had to convince them!" Her love for Seiya had not changed and the four days she had spent unconscious did not change her gratitude at having Seiya beside her again. However, she couldn't help but be furious.
Seiya's face paled a bit as she felt the storm brewing in her wife. Still holding Kiyoko's hand, she spoke, "Kiyo-chan, please understand. I was just so worried about you. Your reaction when Botan told everyone, it was… It was terrifying to be honest."
The images flowed like a river from Seiya to Kiyoko and she gasped. She had nearly brought down the temple when the wave of energy escaped from her body. Kiyoko had been overwhelmed by the combination of shock, fear, anger, and disappointment. Kiyoko had been so disappointed by the idea that she hadn't known, that she had missed her father's rebirth, that her crystal reacted almost violently. That reminded Kiyoko, her crystal had changed, melding with the fireball princess' and found a home in that brooch. Her eyes scanned the room wildly for her brooch.
Seiya reached over with her free hand and grabbed the red and golden heart brooch and placed in the Kiyoko's free hand, "Do not worry my love, it has never left your side."
She found herself so relieved that she nearly collapsed back onto the bed. Kiyoko smiled weakly at Seiya, "I'm sorry my love. But you know this is something I have to do." Leaning forward, Kiyoko pressed her lips against Seiya lightly and then deepening the kiss out of pure instinct.
For a moment, Seiya sunk into the kiss as well. She savored the taste of Kiyoko's lips so thankful to be able to taste those lips for eternity. Then she broke away hesitantly and pressed her forehead to Kiyoko's, "I do Kiyo-chan, and you know that I will be by your side every step of the way."
Kiyoko laughed and smirked at Seiya, keeping their closeness, "Oh my…. I wonder what my father will think of the fact that you and I are married!" Her as became distant and thoughtful as she went on, "I cannot wait for him to meet the children! He and Endo are soo much alike!"
Swallowing hard, Seiya pulled back and looked into Kiyoko's Earth blue eyes and sighed, "According to your aunt…. By all appearances, it seems that he has no memory of his past life. At least she is almost sure he doesn't."
This time Kiyoko felt her temperature dropping, making her numb all over. She did not want to believe that he didn't remember. However, she could feel the certainty in Seiya and Kiyoko knew that if her wife believed it that it must be true. Kiyoko's father was… a lost prince. Then her mind caught onto the feeling that Seiya was holding out and Kiyoko remembered that Seiya had something before, "Seiya… What else is going on there… on the planet my father is on? Tell me now." Seiya gulped and stiffened under the weight of the gaze of her golden queen.
*Hikari*
It was such a pretty day. There was a perfect warm, light breeze as Hikari walked down the beach to her car. Today was her day to volunteer and she didn't want to be late, no matter how nice Doctor Chiryō-shi was. She had learned so much since working in his clinic and so much had changed in her life in the life few years. Hikari's hand stopped as she thought about that fateful night and she couldn't bring herself to get into the car for a minute. Finally, she convinced herself that she would be okay and got into the sleek silver car, shifting it into gear and pulling onto the road.
As she drove, Hikari's comm device went off and Hikari pulled over to answer it. As the device lit up, Hikari heard Hana's voice on the line, "Morning Hikari! How are you?"
Hikari let out a deep sigh and replied, "Hana, these are not for idle chit-chat! What's up, any new information?" She shot the comm device daggers with her eyes as she waited for Hana to respond.
After a brief silence, Hana replied, "No Hikari, nothing new. Akemi is watching them this morning. But they're definitely up to something. You were right about that."
"Thanks Hana, I will see you in a little while," Hikari told her friend and compatriot as she prepared to turn the transmission off.
"Wait," Hana nearly shouted and then she went on to say, "I had the dream again last night. You know the one… But something was different about it."
Her eyes got hard as she thought about Hana's words, "Okay. We'll talk about it when we go to lunch. Doctor Chiryō-shi always lets us go together. Bye." She terminated the transmission and got back on the road, arriving at the clinic a short time later. As she got out of her car Hikari looked around at the people in this tiny sea side town and shook her head. Then she caught sight of the clinic's head doctor, Doctor Chiryō-shi getting ready to enter the clinic. She waved at the man with the raven hair, sapphire blue eyes, and the kindest smile that she'd ever seen. Hikari called out, "Good morning Doctor Chiryō-shi!"
The man stopped and waved back, "You look far too pretty to be working today Hikari!" He looked her up and down, taking notice of her dark violet and black ensemble and matching boots.
Hikari laughed, "Thank you. You're too kind! Just like the princes from the fairy tales my mom used to read me!" The two walked into the clinic and got to work. Hikari watched the doctor walk to his office and thought about the power Hana always said she sensed in him. Could it be connected to their dreams, or to those two interlopers? She supposed only time would tell.
