AN: This is very much an AU story so although I have nearly all SM characters in this story, this is set in an alternate reality rather than what I normally do. Will change to M rating later I think.
Disclaimer - I do not own Sailor Moon or anything from the franchise, I make no profit from this. Sailor Moon is owned by Naoko Takeuchi. I also do not own the image used. However, I do own the storyline and my own OC characters :-)
Act Two
Minako had heard that Lord Jiro planned to execute a young man from the Sora Tribe. Scrubbing the floors she started to make plans on leaving with Min and possibly Usagi, the girl they had recently met. Min was adamant that this girl would be able to save the district of Luna but Minako thought the old woman was becoming crazy, senile! Scrubbing the floor harder she ignored the other women sneering at her. They were jealous because of her long luscious blonde hair and open blue eyes. The only thing that would have stopped them from picking on her was if Lord Jiro had paid her any attention but no, the lucky woman managed to escape that particular beast. Minako kept her eyes firmly on the pristine brown floor until the other maids left and then she looked up. Staring back at her was Usagi who held a rag in her hands and was wearing a plain brown cotton Kimono, similar to Minako's. It wasn't hard to get this girl a job here, the place was always in need of new maids as the old ones kept running away and getting killed once discovered. Minako made a mental note to make sure Usagi was never seen by Lord Jiro. The young woman's sensibilities and soft nature wouldn't be able to handle such a man as Jiro with his lustful glances and busy hands.
"Come here Usa, we can finish this room together and then go look for some food" Minako said smiling. Usagi instantly nodded and started scrubbing dipping the rag into the spare bucket Minako had brought. This girl sure did love food and it seemed to be the best incentive to use. They spent the next two hours cleaning the floors and Minako was grateful no-one had come to disturb them. Usagi was finally opening up and soon the girls were laughing and teasing each other. The whole hall was filled with their giggles which had caught the interest of Mizuno Ami. She had been struggling with her conscience signing over the Lord Jiro's right to execute an innocent man. She held Jiro's seal and she was seen as one of his most important assistants. Zoisite couldn't offer any words of comfort apart from reminding her that it isn't necessarily because of her that this man is to be killed, if she didn't sign the papers then Lord Jiro would've just killed her and paid another assistant to do her job. She officially hated herself at this point and wondered whether she could find a way to leave this place. It was from these thoughts that her attention was taken away and now focussed on the two blondes laughing in the hall. Ami stood by the door silently and just watched. They were supposed to be working and upon looking again she realised they had almost finished. Her attention was then focussed on the girl with the odd hairstyle. There was something nostalgic about this girl and yet, she had never met the girl in her life. She would remember seeing such a vibrant person.
"Oh, Ms Ami-Sama, I am sorry!" Minako instantly bowed followed by the girl with the strange hairstyle. Ami had not missed the look of surprise and what was that, pain in her eyes?
"No, there is no need for bowing I was just walking by, I apologise for spoiling your erm fun?" Ami said looking a little sheepish as she blushed. Usagi was trying very hard not to stare at the woman she had known as Sailor Mercury, her dear friend, her kind hearted shy friend. She felt as if her heart were about to burst open.
"Well, I better get going; I have some more work to do…." Ami said and then departed. She wanted to look at the girl with the strange hairstyle again but resisted the urge, she was sure she would see her again.
Hino Rei had just finished speaking to a young maid about her fathers' illness. It was soon made clear to Rei that Jadeite was right, this place was desperate for spiritual healing and for the first time in a long time she questioned whether she would be enough. As a Priestess most of the women within the palace of Jiro came to her and spoke to her about many things that went on within the walls, the secrets and intricacies, there was a spider web of marvels surrounding the place and Rei was anxious. Jadeite had spent time cleansing their new temple, preparing charms and setting up the sacred fire that Rei would use.
"Have you spoken to any of the soldiers yet?" Rei asked as she stepped into their more private rooms away from prying eyes. Jadeite was sat down on a mat sipping green tea.
"No however I am not necessarily interested in the soldiers, I am more concerned about the civilians" Jadeite said quietly. Rei nodded and then leaned against the wall. Their more communal room had white walls with a painting of a peony and sliding doors that led off to their separate rooms. Their door was opened out to one of the inner courtyards that contained an immaculately kept garden with a little pond. Rei had gone out to the pond and spotted some koi fish.
"They'll come, I can see it in their eyes, the soldiers, some of them are not happy" Rei said. Jadeite nodded.
"They can't do or say anything until someone deals with Jiro. Unless the King himself steps in then it only leaves the normal people of the Lunar District and at the moment there is no light to guide them towards a better future" Jadeite looked at Rei with warmth which made her blush.
"Let's not concern ourselves with such thoughts for now, we have some time off, enjoy the peace, in a few hours it will all be gone" Jadeite said mysteriously as he looked back towards the gardens. Rei wanted to ask him what he had meant but then decided against it. She then pulled out a mat for herself and took the tea Jadeite held out to her.
Rei thought about the woman she had met earlier, Kino Makoto and her lover Nephrite. Makoto had just finished baking and she was on her way out when she stopped Rei.
"Hey, you're the new Priestess of the Luna District right?" Makoto asked. Rei bowed slightly giving her a positive answer.
"Well, maybe I might come by sometime, seen a lot of stuff around here and well, I need to let off some steam" Makoto giggled nervously. Rei had smiled as she watched Makoto leave running up to the man she had called Nephrite. Rei had also met Mizuno Ami and her assistant Zoisite and that was an awkward meeting, Ami looked stressed and it seemed Zoisite was trying to comfort her. Everyone seemed always on edge and Rei was starting to feel it. It was an odd feeling, an intrusion trying to slither its way into her mind making her anxious and fearful. She was never someone to be fearful, not with her hot temper but this place, she didn't know what it was but this place wasn't right and it needed more than even the King to save it.
Yawning out loud Minako fell onto the grassland and spread herself out not caring who was around. She was tired and wanted to enjoy the sun. Usagi sat meekly next to her and looked around. They were in the gardens located towards the east of Jiro's court. There was an area that allowed an easy escape if any of the servants fancied going out for a few hours. Hardly any guards came around so it was quiet and safe. Minako wanted to pat herself on the back as she had successfully kept Usagi out of sight.
"Ah come on Usa, stretch out and relax, we deserve the break from all that cleaning!" Minako whined which made Usagi giggle and then she too rested her back on the grass. For a while they were silent, comfortable with each other. Usagi felt totally at ease and she couldn't remember the last time she had felt this feeling. She was happy, really happy and yet, she couldn't deny she was still tired. A tiredness had taken over her since she had found herself in this strange world. She didn't know what it was but she knew it wasn't good. She tried to ignore it but then she would get memories, strong memories of her friends before they died calling out to her, telling her that everything would be ok and that her mission was over, she could rest now. She didn't want to rest now, she had her friends back even if they were different, and they weren't Sailor Senshi that was for sure.
"Hmmmm, if I knew this place had such pretty girls I would've come sooner" Usagi felt her whole body freeze. That voice, that dark sensuous voice that had always sent chills down her back. That voice that had haunted her dreams ever since his soul had left her lonely. She closed her eyes tight willing them to stay closed. Of course Minako was already up and staring at the two men.
"You're not supposed to be here!" Minaka screeched instantly looking around for guards.
"Oh come now, the guards are too busy in town" Kunzite said cheerfully. He was very interested in this blonde, the same blonde he had spotted the other day. Her image had not left his mind and there was no way he was going to waste such a precious opportunity. Endymion on the other hand was bending over Usagi mischievously wondering what to do to make her open her eyes. Now why didn't she want to look at him? He was sure he hadn't met her before; he would certainly remember such a beauty. He then flicked his finger on her forehead but she only grumbled and refused to open her eyes.
"Stubborn aren't you?" Endymion said chuckling.
"Maybe I'll try something more daring…." He said darkly as he edged closer. This made Usagi open her eyes and gasp as she stared into the eyes of the man she had always loved. Her heart was beating hard against her chest and she knew she was blushing. She had watched him die, she had watched their daughter die and yet here he was, playing with her. She wanted to cry but she knew how stupid she would look. Endymion looked at the blonde and wondered what was wrong with her.
"Have we met before?" he asked nervously, dreading the answer. Usagi looked at him for a moment and then shook her head. He breathed a sigh of relief and then fell backwards onto the grass besides her.
"Thank goodness…that really would have been awkward!" he bellowed and then laughed. Usagi shifted a little which caught his attention.
"What's your name?" he asked as he sat himself up and looked at Usagi.
"Tsukino Usagi" Usagi said in a small voice.
"Hmmm Bunny, I like it" Endymion said.
"My name is Endymion, it's a pleasure to meet you" Endymion said smiling. Usagi blushed again which Endymion found endearing. She was unbelievably cute.
Usagi could feel herself shaking. He was so close to her right now, talking to her like everything was ok in the world. Well it wasn't! She had lost him, lost the love of her life. She had never felt such pain when she knew his soul was gone. She had wanted to die, she had wanted her soul to flee from her body and chase after him. Her heart had bled for him and she had spent so many nights crying over him. He didn't know and as far as he was concerned she had never met him. Looking at her hands she suddenly felt really tired again. She wanted the ground to swallow her up and cover her against the light, protect her against another day where she would be alone reliving the moments she had lost everything. Endymion stared at Usagi bewildered. He wasn't sure what had made her so upset. Then something shocked him, he felt this overwhelming need to comfort her, to hold her in his arms and never let her go but why? He felt his arms move and he fought against the urge. He would frighten her, hell, he was frightening himself!
"Seriously, you guys have to go, I am sure Lord Jiro is still within the court" Minako said urgently even though she didn't want Kunzite to leave. There was something so regal about him and he was paying attention to her! Kunzite nodded.
"You are right but I do believe we will meet again" Kunzite said.
"Why?" Minako asked.
"Oh a little thing called fate" Kunzite said which made Minako blush. Usagi quirked an eyebrow, she never remembered Kunzite being like this, no way! He was too….cheerful? Where was the sullen expression? Where was that death glare that made you want to stab yourself rather than let him get to you? Usagi turned back around and held her breath as Endymion had placed his face close to hers. His nose touched hers and he was looking at her all dreamy like.
"I think we'll certainly meet again, I have a penchant for bunnies…." Endymion enjoyed the blush that erupted on her face and then he stuck his tongue out childishly before getting up.
"See you around Odango!" He said as he left with Kunzite. For once, Usagi didn't scold him; she had missed that hated nickname. Minako was already longing to see Kunzite again but she was unsure how. She then gasped really loudly which made Usagi look at Minako.
"That's Prince Endymion! He's the half-brother to the King!" Minako exclaimed. Usagi looked back towards where the two men had just left. Usagi had also noted how different this Endymion looked. There was something wild and unkempt about him. He looked daring and there was a wicked aura around him. He was more rugged, stronger and clearly confident. Usagi found herself very interested in this version of the man she had loved, who was he really?
"Ahhhh we better get going now!" Minaka yelled grabbing Usagi's hand and leading her back to work. As they ran inside they hadn't noticed a set of cold blue eyes following them.
Tenoh Haruka had watched Lord Jiro swinging his sword down on an unsuspecting man who had been caught saying derogatory things about him. Jiro was like a silent whisper when stalking prey. The man didn't see it coming until he looked into the cold blue eyes of Jiro who amused himself by listening to the man plead for his life. Michiru had also had to watch as she was accompanying Jiro on diplomatic meetings. Haruka and Michiru both looked at each other knowing what the end would be. A blood curdling scream intruded into their ears blocking out any other sound. They were both used to this. Jiro was actually in a good mood so this mans' death was quick. If Jiro was in a bad mood, well, then the man would've suffered.
"Anyone else have an opinion they'd like to share, come now, feel free, I do run an open democracy as you can see" Jiro said with a hint of malice in his voice. No-one said a thing.
Now they were back in Jiro's court and Haruka had wondered what had caught Jiro's attention, usually nothing would distract him when it came to military matters and yet Jiro was caught or trapped looking at something or someone. Haruka made a move to look and saw a girl with a strange hairstyle. Her bright blue eyes looked startled as she was being dragged by another girl with blonde hair. Haruka wanted to chuckle for some reason, there was something about that strange girl that had instantly captivated her, but soon dread filled her core for she knew Jiro was also captivated. This girl had no idea what was coming and suddenly Haruka felt the beginnings of anger against her master for wanting to harm such a lovely kitten.
"Interested are we Haruka?" Jiro asked looking at Haruka from the corner of her eye.
"She is interesting my Lord" Haruka said solemnly.
"Hn" Jiro nodded ever so slightly as his eyes devoured both girls until his eyes focussed on the girl with the strange hairstyle.
"The King has sent a letter" Haruka said. Jiro then turned his cold eyes on Haruka and narrowed them. Haruka tried her best not to look frightened, Jiro hated cowards.
"Well, why didn't you say so?" Jiro said in an icy manner before moving away from the window and walking towards Michiru who held the letter and was speaking with Ami. Michiru kept her face stone still as she watched this man come towards her. She naturally moved a little closer to Ami which Haruka noticed and smirked.
"So, what does his majesty say then?" Jiro said not looking at anyone in particular. Michiru shifted a little and then looked at the letter again.
"In simple words, His Majesty is demanding that you release the prisoner" Michiru said simply. Jiro hated flowery language which the King tended to use, especially when it involved his plans. Jiro gritted his teeth and then a wicked smile played on his features.
"Well, I was expecting that, so what happens if or as a matter of fact, when I refuse?" Jiro said.
"He will send out his royal guards and he will pay you a personal visit" Ami said a little sharper than she had anticipated. She hated that this man was bringing war to the district so willingly. Jiro quirked an eyebrow at Ami before looking at Michiru.
"You know what to write Michiru, make sure our decline is sent in a polite manner" Jiro said before returning his cold eyes on Ami.
"I would watch your tongue next time Ms Mizuno, don't want your assistant to have an accident now would we?" Jiro said as he made his way out. Ami's eyes widened in fear and then she bowed her head in submission.
"He's never done this before" Min kept saying as she paced the room they were in. Minako looked panic stricken whilst looking at Usagi.
"He must have seen her" Minako said tearfully. Usagi tried to remain calm. That very morning Lord Jiro had asked for Min and her two wards to come and meet him in the evening whilst he conducted a meeting. They were to pour tea and see to the needs of the attendees.
"We can't 'not' bring her" Minako said looking at Usagi again. Min shook her head, she had already thought of that and it wouldn't work.
"Do we know who is attending?" Minako asked. Again Min shook her head. They continued in this manner for a few more minutes before Min told the girls to go about their work. There was nothing they could do, Usagi would have to attend and pray Lord Jiro would be too busy to pay her any attention. As they went about their work Usagi had managed to meet Ami again but this time Ami looked stressed and tired.
"So much is happening, you are lucky to be a maid, you might be able to escape unscathed" Ami had said in a sorrowful voice as she went about her work. It was also the first time Usagi had seen Zoisite. Usagi had come to expect to meet all her friends again but she was a little disappointed she hadn't seen Rei or Makoto yet.
"I should bring you to the new Temple we have in the court, you might like it" Minako said as she picked up two brooms and passed one to Usagi.
"Looking to cleanse your wretched souls" Usagi felt that same chill run down her back as she turned around and saw Endymion casually leaning against the wall. He was wearing a plain navy V-neck shirt, black pants and black boots.
"What are you doing here?" Minako asked incredulously as she spotted Kunzite.
"It seems this Lord Jiro has wonderful spies so we're here now" Kunzite answered sarcastically. He was wearing a black vest and black trousers with a sword at his hip. Minako huffed.
"Of course he would know you're here, there's nothing he doesn't know within the district" Minako said dragging Usagi.
"We have a meeting with him tonight" Kunzite added narrowing his eyes at Minako before smirking at her shocked expression.
"So I take it I'll see you tonight then?" Kunzite added receiving a slap on his shoulder from Minako. Usagi tried not to giggle but Endymion allowed himself to chuckle. He then approached Usagi from behind and brought his mouth near her ears. His warm breath sent tingles right down to her feet.
"I guess I'll be seeing you tonight as well my little Odango" Usagi felt as if she was about to sway, she had never known Endymion to put on such an intoxicatingly seductive voice. Yes, he was way different to the Endymion she had known. He chuckled darkly as he began to walk away with Kunzite.
"Damn those nicely muscled men!" Minako screeched. Usagi looked at Minako and then burst out laughing.
As the two men walked away they both held a serious expression on their faces.
"He wants a war with my brother, how stupid" Endymion said as they walked onto the main street of the Luna District. Kunzite looked around and spotted some of Jiro's spies following them.
"At least this gives us what you wanted, you knew Jiro would find us didn't you, the moment we went looking for those girls?" Kunzite said keeping his hand on the bud of his sword.
"Hmmm well they're both delectable and besides, I may dislike my brother but I don't necessarily want any harm to come to him unless I am the one causing it" Endymion said whilst a little smirk played on his features. Kunzite rolled his eyes.
"So we'll scope the place and send word to your brother the inner workings of this place, don't you think it's rather convenient you found a spy who works for your brother?" Kunzite asked quirking an eyebrow.
"My brother may be stupid sometimes but when he wants to he can actually act like a King wanting to protect what is his, pity he doesn't have good spies, the Baka would've been a fool to turn down our help" Endymion said mercilessly as they approached their rooms.
"And the girls?" Kunzite asked whilst opening the door.
"We'll find a way to break them out, I am not leaving this place without that Odango… she's far too interesting to be kept by Lord Jiro" Endymion said wickedly. Kunzite shook his head and chuckled, there was no way he was going to leave Minako there either, things would turn ugly here soon.
Jiro found himself panting heavily after a rough love-making session with one of his advisors, Lady Hee. Lady Hee was just as conniving and vicious as he was and when he wanted a woman who could handle his carnal lusts he would often go after her. Her long wavy reddish brown hair often curled around her soft curves and her tops were always slightly opened revealing a tantalising glimpse of her breasts. Great, now his whole body was perspiring but then again he didn't care. Lady Hee placed her light brown eyes on Lord Jiro's toned back and licked her lips. She knew she would never have him but as long as she could have moments like this, even after he found a timid wife, then she would be just fine. Her fiancé didn't need to know a thing and besides, he was all the way stationed at the Kings court leaving her alone to manage the Luna District, how could she fight against such a force as this man?
Jiro turned swiftly back and planted another rough kiss plunging his tongue in the willing mouth of Lady Hee. She moaned into his mouth before he pulled back and got up.
"I have a meeting with Prince Endymion" Jiro said stiffly.
"Hmm, now why is he here? Everyone knows he left the Kings court in a bad way" Lady Hee questioned in her sensuous voice.
"He still has the Kings ear no matter how bad those two fall out, I intend to make Endymion see what kind of force he is dealing with, he will see my riches and power" Jiro said confidently.
"I wonder if that lap dog will be there, Kunzite I think, he is delicious" Lady Hee said earning her a vicious grunt from Jiro.
"Well, you can see him tonight, you will be at the meeting tonight as well" Jiro said. Lady Hee giggled in excitement.
"Oh what will I wear? Maybe the red dress….." Lady Hee teased. Lord Jiro simply just looked at her but she could see the glint in his eyes, he liked that dress on her very much.
"I better get ready, see you later on" Jiro said as he walked out in a black nightgown. Lady Hee giggled again.
"Ok so let's go over this again, we're only meant to be there like a painting, we must be still and quiet, do not speak unless spoken to and even then think before you speak" Minako said as she was fixing Usagi's pastel Pink Kimono with swirling oceans as an imprinted image over it. Minako's own Kimono was orange with the image of the sun all over it.
"Ms Min will watch over us so you can always look towards her for guidance if I am too busy. Try not to be nervous, it will show believe me, I know. And finally, do not show any emotion to what Lord Jiro may do, he will notice and another thing, don't look at him, in fact stay quiet and try and make your presence unknown to him" Minako said worriedly. She then looked at Usagi eye level.
"You're still thinking about the way that Priestess looked at you aren't you?" Minako asked reading Usagi like a book. Usagi nodded. She had gone over to see the Priestess and was shocked to see Rei and Jadeite. Rei instantly felt something towards Usagi and was suspicious of her at first but soon she became worried. Her eyes revealed concern as she made Usagi sit with her. They talked about, well, nothing in particular which was refreshing to Rei. The two girls simply talked and then bickered over something silly and then talked some more and then bickered again. It was really strange, Rei felt like she knew Usagi but it was impossible. She also felt an overwhelming attachment to Usagi and felt like something bad was looming over her. Her eyes revealed her fear and Usagi had seen it. Rei made Usagi promise to come and visit the next day, she could help clean the temple with her.
"Don't worry about it, I always hear Priests and Priestesses either saying your spirituality is in decline or you're going to die, they don't say much else really, oh yeah and they prophesy doom and gloom!" Minako said and then laughed uneasily.
"Thanks Minako-chan" Usagi said softly which made Minako look into Usagi's eyes deeply.
"For what?" Minako asked.
"For just being you" Usagi stated as a little tear escaped. Minako felt her heart pounding and then her head started to hurt. She didn't like seeing Usagi cry, it felt wrong, like a crime being committed right in front of her eyes.
Usagi had to admit that this Lord Jiro was certainly handsome as well as an imposing figure. They were in a small quiet room. Four guards were stationed at each corner of the room and Lady Hee was sat next to Lord Jiro demurely. Usagi didn't like Lady Hee but kept her feelings hidden. Kunzite looked regal with his white shirt and long grey jacket with black pants but it was Endymion Usagi really had her eyes on. He wore a shirt that was slightly opened and a long navy jacket with silver hemlines. He also had a silver chain with a little blue stone on it and he wore black pants and black boots. He looked like an absolute rogue and Usagi found herself more than once blushing. He knew she was looking at him and the idea that she was more than a little hot under the collar made Endymion smirk. She had no idea how he was feeling with her in the room but then that feeling came back, that uneasy feeling. Lord Jiro had certainly taken notice of his Odango and that was not a good thing. Lord Jiro had secretly been watching Usagi allowing his eyes to travel down her curves and rest on her small pout of rosy tinged lips. Kunzite had noticed as well and he was already looking for little escape routes throughout the court, they would have to make the girls leave this place as soon as possible.
"So, I am surprised you would come this way Prince Endymion, why?" Lord Jiro asked directly in his silky smooth voice.
"We were just passing by really, I haven't decided where I will station myself yet" Endymion said carelessly.
"Are things that sour with your dear brother?" Jiro asked teasingly. Endymion narrowed his eyes.
"My brother and I don't see eye to eye much but alas, he is still my big brother" Prince Endymion said sipping his wine.
"Your brother is also rather sneaky, I have had to kill a number of his stupid spies" Lord Jiro said in an ice cold voice before he chuckled darkly. Endymion smirked; he had killed all but one spy.
"I've sent their heads back to him with a thank you card" Lord Jiro added sipping his own wine. Usagi tried to stop herself from shaking but she could see even Minako was shaking a little. Kunzite looked up at Minako with a reassuring look. She steeled herself and carried on. Lady Hee had noticed and her eyes darkened looking at Minako, she would torment the girl later. Now wasn't the time. Min had also noted Lady Hee's gaze at Minako and made a mental note to warn Minako later.
"So, I am sure you are aware that I am possibly going to go to war with your brother" Lord Jiro said nonchalantly.
"That has nothing to do with me anymore, I am no longer his advisor and I no longer work within his court" Endymion said shrugging his shoulders. Lord Jiro found Endymion amusing, what game was this man playing at? The conversation continued in much the same manner but what Endymion took away was information and this information was not good. Lord Jiro had secured an army and they were vicious. Finishing up Lord Jiro told the maids Minako and Usagi to show Kunzite and Endymion to their rooms. Lord Jiro resisted the urge to approach Usagi, she looked timid and yet there was a regal air about her, he would have to be more gentle with her but eventually he would get his way with her. Lady Hee slightly brushed herself up against Kunzite but he ignored her. Yes she was attractive in that red dress but he wasn't interested, she was meant to be getting married. Usagi and Minako led Endymion and Kunzite down the hall and after taking a left and then a right they approached two rooms opposite to each other. Whilst Minako went inside Kunzite's room to show him where everything was Usagi sought to do the same, just as Minako had taught her. She tried to stop her heart beating fast but she couldn't, he was so close to her and yet so far away.
As she stepped in Endymion closed the sliding doors and then wrapped his arms around Usagi bringing her face in direct line with his deep blue eyes.
"I am going to take you away from this place, a war is coming and I don't want you or your friend to get caught up in it" He stated expecting an answer. Usagi simply nodded whilst trying to catch her breath. He was satisfied with this answer as he knew Kunzite was saying exactly the same thing to Minako. Endymion then looked mischievously at Usagi which made her shake, what was this man planning now? He then rubbed his nose against hers and smiled.
"You look beautiful, do you know that?" he whispered as if they were two lovers meeting in secret. Usagi was really not used to this and her only reaction was to blush. Her Mamoru was not usually one for displaying his emotions so brazenly and yet, she liked this Endymion. He wasn't ashamed in showing his affection, especially towards her.
"It is taking everything in me not to rip your clothes off and devour you right now, damn it you smell divine" Endymion said placing his nose against her neck and breathing in her scent. He really couldn't understand himself, ever since he laid eyes on Usagi he couldn't get her out of his head. Her image was everywhere and all he wanted was for her to be with him, he didn't care if he hardly knew her, it felt as if his soul was crying out to her, begging to combine with hers. He then started to plant little light kisses on her neck which made Usagi sway slightly in his arms. When he gave her a more passionate kiss on her neck she moaned quietly. He never knew such a sound could reduce him to wanting to take her there and then.
"If you make any more noises like that then you cannot blame me for my actions after Odango" Endymion said roughly. He then looked into her eyes and kissed her forehead.
"Until tomorrow Usa" He said softly leading her towards the sliding doors. He knew Jiro would have spies and he didn't want her to get into trouble. Upon opening the doors Usagi could see Minako's face was flushed. Blushing at each other they left side by side knowing what they had both been through, things were getting complicated by the day but one thing was certain, these two men were going to take them by any means necessary before war came.
Hi Guys, I am back with an update.
Thank you to all those who have followed, fav'd and reviewed this story :-)
Jakeros: Thank you for the review, I updated the last chapter to answer your review about the senshi :-)
Mercedes1312:I am glad you like it so far, hopefully this chapter is ok :-)
LadyKeren: I know it does sound uncomfortable, I wasn't sure whether to add it but I wanted this story to be a little darker than my other ones
Flareup5Ratchet: I am happy you like it so far :-) I only have one other story that has Usagi with an OC and I don't think I really paired the Senshi up romantically with the OC's, maybe just Ami and Minako but you'll see when I post it up, its a lot darker than this story, I am still not sure whether to post it up but I'll decide after.
Hope you guys enjoy the weekend :-)
