Serenity groaned painfully. She rubbed her head and rolled over. "Sere wake up, please." "Not now..." Pluto sighed as she looked around. This couldn't be good right? They were in the middle of nowhere with no signs of life, but she could feel like she was being watched. "Hime wake up or I'll tell your Okaasan about you skipping lessons."
Serenity shot up from the ground and shouted, "No don't!" The young 16 year old looked around; "Hey you set me up Sets."
Pluto stood, as did Serenity. They both looked around. Serenity was looking at all the beauty around her, because she wasn't on the moon. She was on another planet for the first time. A planet for her to explore. "Wow I can't believe it."
Pluto stated, "Well it is real Sere. We are in another world. And we better be careful. We don't know what kind of life lives here."
Serenity shrugged "does it matter. If things get tough we can use the staff and go home." Pluto gave her a hard look, "oh alright I'll be careful. Now lets go explore."
She grasped Pluto's arm and started to drag her across the deserted land that was covered in dust and ended with cliffs. No trees, no life, nothing.
Pluto heard a noise and held back. Serenity looked back at her, "What's wrong Puu. Did you see something?" The hime squinted and searched the ground around them.
Suddenly her arm was jerk on and she was pulled behind Pluto, "Watch it hime." Serenity laughed, "It's alright...." she stopped herself from continuing. Cause there in front of Pluto was a man, who had dropped down from the air as if it had been nothing.
His arms were crossed and he looked tough. His arms were well defined with large bulging muscles along with his bare legs. His suit consists of black spandex shorts that stretched over his bulky thighs. His upper body was covered with thick armor that covered just his crotch, torso, chest, and shoulders; leaving his beefy neck, bare. It was brown with white trim. Some strange contraption that connected over his ear covered one black beady eye. His hair was cut short but spiky and thick. A scare marled his dark tanned face; it came down his left eye and curved around to the bridge of his nose.
His lips twisted into a smirk, "what are you do'n?" he glanced from one to the other. They looked like a mess, with their clothes all tattered, dirty and wrinkled.
Pluto glared right back at him as she kept Serenity behind her. Serenity peaked out from over her shoulder, her curious blue eyes looking in wonder.
The man smirked, "what'cha hidd'n?" Pluto glanced over her shoulder, "when I tell you to go, run."
The man nearly laughed, "That wouldn't be such a good idea. Since we out number you."
Both girls stiffened and slowly their gazes went up to the sky. There had to be a thousand men, just like the first one up in the sky; guns, swords anything drawn and ready.
Pluto glanced from one figure to the next while keeping her eyes on the one on the ground. She had to protect her hime.
"Ready to go hime?" Pluto glanced over her shoulder as a man came up and snatched a hold of Serenity. The hime let out a startled cry. Pluto shouted, "Iie!" but two strong arms snaked around her torso and pulled her close to a rock hard chest. "Ya ain't go'n anywhere."
Pluto struggled against the arms that held her, she had to help Serenity. Serenity was also fighting. She tried to wiggle free but it wasn't working. Her holder just held her closer. "Lets get to the castle. His highness will want to see these new bees."
The two men who held their prisoners took flight and lead the way back.
Serenity fought with all her strength to get free as the man that led her and Pluto down the narrow hall. It had been a long walk so far and she was getting tired, and her feet were pulsing with pain. She would have killed for a hot bath but she could tell that there would not be one anytime soon. She looked at Pluto. She was so calm now. She had given up on fighting, but Serenity wasn't ready to roll over and beg. Not just yet.
Serenity realized the man had stopped to talk to another one of them. She also saw the brown thing wrapped around his waist. She formed a plan. Maybe if she pulled hard enough she could pull it out and hit him with it and get free.
With the only free hand she had she carefully reached around. He wasn't paying her any heed so she grasped it and tugged. "YOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!"
Serenity nearly screamed herself. The man had yelled so loud she feared she had gone deaf. He fell to his knees with tears in his eyes. He looked up at her with such fire in his probing black eyes that it scared her. Without thought she took her chance and ran. She ran because her life depended on it. Whatever she pulled had been connected to his body.
Serenity didn't care if he was following her she ran without looking back. The door at the end of the hall was closed but when she got there she threw it open with such force it hit the wall scratching the metal it hit. It shut behind her as she collapsed to her knees huffing and puffing for air.
Her lungs burned with the lack of oxygen it had been deprived at her sprint. She was leaning on her hands, feeling dizzy and woozy all at once. She heard a noise and looked up. It was another man, and he was staring at her. Serenity was on her feet and was running to the door before she had time to think. But instead of hitting the door she hit a hard chest that she was very familiar too.
Slowly she looked up and gasped. It was him and he looked royally pissed. His dark eyes blazed with an inner fire that threatened her very life. Serenity could see Pluto over his shoulder. She was struggling against another man's grip. Serenity turned and ran to the middle of the room, but stopped at the site of the young man near the thrones.
She turned again as Pluto shouted, "Iie leave her alone!" the man who held her threw her to the floor. Enraged Serenity shouted, "Setsuna, IIE!" Her temper flared to boiling but before she could do a thing a deep masculine voice shouted, "Stop!"
The men froze and instantly bowed to the young man who stood from the chair and was angrily staring at all of them. Slowly Serenity turned. Her heels clicked on the hard floor. Her dress swooshed around her slim hips and legs.
The man was staring at her now, staring so hard at her, she shivered. His hard obsidian eyes dug underneath her skin and sent a cold whisper up her spine. His hair was cut short and spiky like the first guy, but this guy looked better with it styled this way. He was darkly tanned and it highlighted the scar on his chin that came up in a crescent moon shape barely touching his earlobe. He wore a black spandex type suit with hard armor to cover his broad chest. His feet were covered with white boots that stopped short of his knees, while his hand were covered with wrist length gloves.
"Who are they?"
The man behind Serenity stuttered, "They appeared in our world your highness. And this one attacked us by pulling my tail. May I have your permission to kill them sir?"
Pluto was up instantly and at her hime's side. "I'll protect you." she spoke so low that Serenity barely heard her. "Iie Pluto I wont let you fight alone. This is my fault, too."
Serenity stepped out from behind Pluto ready for the man to speak their death sentence. But he stayed quiet staring into her eyes. Time flew by and Serenity felt suddenly extremely tired. She whispered, "Use your staff." Pluto replied, "I cant not without them noticing."
Finally he lifted his gaze to the taller man behind her, "Request denied." The man spluttered, "Denied, but your highness. They can be a threat to you."
The young man nearly laughed, "Look at them Bractus. They look harmless, plus they are onna's." Serenity glared at him with her hands on her hips. The man stated, his gave falling onto Serenity again, "You may leave. I would like to speak with them alone."
The men bowed and left the small room despairingly. Pluto looked ready for a fight as she stood at her best friend's side. The man sat back down, "Please sit if you will. Now tell me why are you here?"
Serenity looked at Pluto, they refused to sit and stayed standing. She finally looked back at him, "we are traveling. We're from another world and came too seek the lives on other planets."
The man stated, "Did it ever occur to you the danger. That you could easily have died on a planet cause most races are evil in this side of the universe."
Serenity whispered while looking around, "Evil." Pluto snapped, "We're not as weak as you think. Serenity stay at my side, or behind me." Serenity sighed, "oh alright, Puu."
The man stood again, "yes I know your power levels I can feel them from here. You could hold your own but in a real fight you wouldn't last. I over power both of you together."
The man walked towards them and Pluto tensed, while Serenity ogled at his beauty. "You, what is your name?" it was more of a demand then a question. Serenity lifted her chin like she did to those who annoyed her, "Serenity. And this is my best friend and strongest guardian Pluto." The man nodded and stated smoothly, "I am Coli, king of this kingdom." Serenity whispered, "A king?" She looked around, "Where's the queen?"
Coli laughed out loud and Serenity blinked in surprise, her mouth open, then shut. She was doing a great impression of a fish out of water. His voice was so deep and husky Serenity's knees went weak. "There isn't a Queen. I rule alone, because my father died in a battle."
Serenity's eyes got teary, "Gomen, Coli kun I didn't mean to bring it up." Coli was taken back by the outburst of tears that had sprung to her eyes. Pluto was also looking at her also astonished. "Hime don't get teary eyed on me."
"Hime? As in Princess?"
Pluto snapped her gaze to him, "you'll leave her alone. We are leaving, Serenity this was a bad idea." Serenity sniffled in response. Coli spoke, "you won't leave. You will stay here till you rest up from your journey. Bractus!"
The man came back inside, "yes your highness?" Coli replied, "take them to their chambers. They will be our guests for some time now." Pluto shouted, "you can't keep us hear!" her staff appeared in her hands. Coli let an eyebrow rise. "Time staff take us back..." she stopped and let her staff hit the floor and it vanished.
Her eyes drooped, as she let out a low grunt and she fell forward. Serenity cried out, "Pluto iie!"
She caught the scout in her arms but they both hit the floor. Serenity grunted when her back hit the floor along with her head snapping back and banging into it as well. She climbed out from under her friend and pulled her close. "What did you do to her?"
Coli replied, "She's sleeping that is all. And soon so will you." Serenity's eyes darkened, "wanna bet." The crescent moon on her forehead started to glow and pulsate. "I wont let you hurt her!" Before anything else could happen Serenity fell forward as well and was fast asleep.
Serenity shot up from the ground and shouted, "No don't!" The young 16 year old looked around; "Hey you set me up Sets."
Pluto stood, as did Serenity. They both looked around. Serenity was looking at all the beauty around her, because she wasn't on the moon. She was on another planet for the first time. A planet for her to explore. "Wow I can't believe it."
