AN: Sorry it has been so long for an update. I also want to make it clear when their names are being used, they are not on official duty and not in their fuku. When their planets are being used they are being used for official duty and in their fukus. Also...I am looking for a beta.
A few days went by and everything seemed as normal as it could seem without Small Lady around. The Queen was lonely, but the senshi and The King tried to take her mind off things. They were all working in shifts spending time with her. Mars and Neptune worked on trying to decipher the visions. If Endyimion was getting them he was keeping quiet about it.
Neptune and Uranus were also worried about the fact that Hotaru had started growing. Something else that Pluto kept quiet about. They loved her, but they didn't know if they were ready for Sailor Saturn yet. There was a time for a short while that Saturn coexisted with the other senshi and didn't bring about the end of the world, but they weren't so sure that it would have the same outcome
. Haruka however, had something else to worry about. Hotaru who just entered the toddler stage had gotten into Michriu's paints while Haruka was taking a nap. Little Hotaru was asleep on Haruka's stomach and the next thing she knew, Haruka was out as well. How did she know such a little angel could make such a mess?
"Please?" asked Haruka with a small smile. She was busy trying to get the maid to work over time and clean up the mess that the toddler had made. Michiru did NOT need to see what happened to her paints. Hopefully Haruka could convince her that she painted more than she rmembered, or maybe Haruka could take her mind off it...
The maid blushed. "I don't know, The Queen will want to know why I stayed and if I tell her then that will defeat the purpose..."
"You have beautiful eyes."
"I...well..." This good be bad for the maid. Sailor Neptune was with Neo Queen Serenity, but if she found out she may not be happy. Sometimes she shrugged it off, other times if she was in a bad mood she would try to drown servants that her lover tried to flirt with. There was a reason that mostly male servants worked in the tower that the Outers lived in.
"You know," Haruka said softly brushing the servants hand, "if you would do this for me I would owe you a pretty big favor." As she went to brush the servants reddish brown hair out of her face she saw her eyes go wide. She turned around to see a face Michiru usually only gave when she was transformed, and even then only to enemies.
"Leave, now! Unless you want to taste salt water!" with that the servant hurried and left. "Really, Haruka," she said resting her forehead on her hand. "You have really got to stop trying to manipulate the staff with your flirting."
Haruka started to laugh, "You know, it wasn't very nice of you to act all pissed off."
"How do you know I wasn't?" she said giving her a kiss. "What were you trying to get out of her anyway?"
Haruka silently led Michiru to the toddler with a rainbow of paints all over her. If Haruka didn't know how important Michiru took the arts, she would have laughed at Michiru's face. Haruka, however, valued her life.
Ankoku Kamereon, or Ankoku for short, sat on the throne that was in her small throne room in her spaceship making her way to Earth. She knew she deserved more, and she would get it. First she had to get the most powerful items in the galaxy and no one would be able to stop her.
She left her home planet of Daomia when she had tried to take over and failed. She was able to steal a ship and a wand. Her few followers were on the ship with her. She realized what she needed was more power. Hers was very limited. She had the power to change things. For example, the space ship coming into the solar system would look nothing more than an innocent asteroid. She could change living things too when she needed.
The wand was nice to have, but it wouldn't allow her to overthrow Neo Queen Serenity, but she could capture the Royal Family. The hardest part would be getting through the senshi. There were stories throughout the universe of the queens kindness and the senshi's strength. She had plan though and Numa, one of her followers, would help her carry it out.
Neptune and Uranus were escorting the queen and king to the rose garden. Mars's and Neptune's visions were getting worse. The king was admitting that he was seeing things as well. The senshi didn't like the fact that the queen and queen were leaving the protection of the walls of the palace, but the queen did agree to having two of her senshi with her. They all wanted to go, and the king wouldn't have objected, but the queen put her foot down to only two.
The king had his arm around Serenity as they passed through the path to the flowers. It was beautiful. Roses of every color you could imagine. It was soon that Neptune and Uranus realized that they were holding hands. Both couples have been together for centuries and they still loved each other very much.
The two couples were about to turn back when it started to get dark. "What the..." wondered Uranus out loud her hand already away from Neptune's. It was too early to be this dark.
"Stay behind us!" Neptune pointed to two unknown figures in the roses. As they made their way closer and closer, they realized it was a woman and a man. Neptune and Uranus kept their eyes on the two strangers.
"Only two of you? This shouldn't be hard," The woman put a strand of dark green hair behind one of her ears. "Wait, isn't there a princess? Never mind I'm here now!" Sparks of electricity came out of the wand.
Uranus looked at Neptune and whispered, "I'll take the queen, you guard the king. We don't have time to contact the rest of the senshi."
Neptune nodded her head and moved into position. They had trained for situations like this, she was ready. The last thing she remembered was feeling a shock as the wand was pointed in her direction then she was out.
