On The Sea Of Love
Chapter 4 -The Journey Begins, Set Sail!
As dawn approached you could see a lot of activity going on in the harbor of Lunaterra. Endymion had not slept at all, going over yesterday's events over and over in his mind. As he looked outside, he decided it was time to go and get the men that would be boarded on Serenity's ship. He would escort them there personally in hopes of seeing Serenity one last time before she left.
Serenity's night had not been any better than Endymion's, she drank all night a cried too. Rei and Mina had tried to comfort her but she wouldn't even open the door for them. She woke up that morning on the floor and with an extremely bad headache. She got up and washed her face, her eyes were puffy from all the crying she had done. "Oh well," she told herself, "if anyone says anything, they're dead meat." As she stepped onto the deck of the ship she could see a group of people crowded some feet away from her.
"What's going on here?" she asked as she approached the group.
"Serenity, thank god! Captain Chiba here is being hardheaded, he doesn't understand that you don't want to see him." Rini said.
"It's fine Rini I will handle this." Serenity said as she arrived. "What do you want to see me for Captain Chiba?" she asked.
"Well actually I came to deliver the men you promised to house on your ship." Endymion said.
"Very well." Serenity said. Endymion turned to his men.
"Line up side by side and state your names." Endymion ordered. The men quickly did as they were told and lined up. A young man with white hair stepped forward first.
"Nishimura, Helios at your service Captain Tsukino." he said. Serenity nodded in response, but not before she saw him throw a quick glance Rini's way.
"Furuhata, Motoki as your service Captain." a blonde man said.
"Umino, Gurio it's a pleasure to serve you Captain Tsukino." another man said stepping forward.
Serenity nodded to each man as they introduced themselves and then had Yuuchirou and Ryo escort them to their chambers.
"If that is all Captain Chiba you will have to excuse me for there is much to do." Serenity said as she began walking away but Endymion quickly caught her arm.
"Serenity, I do not wish to part on bad terms with you. Please tell me what I did wrong and I will do whatever I can to fix it." Endymion said.
"Do you have a time travel device that will allow me to go back and prevent myself from wasting all those years on you?" Serenity asked in a sickly sweet voice. She watched as Endymion's eyes darkened.
"Do you really believe that I was just a waste of time?" Endymion asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Serenity replied and once again turned to walk away.
"Do you think this is a waste." Endymion said and quickly grabbed her arm, spun her around and pulled her into a kiss. Serenity was consumed with the urge to kiss him back, but she got over it when she remembered what he had done to her. She pushed him off and slapped him.
"You bastard." she said as she spit of the floor and wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her shirt. She turned to walk away and this time Endymion didn't stop her.

…over on the Flaming Star
"Welcome to my ship, Captain Jadeite." Rei said as Jadeite and some new crew members boarded the Flaming Star.
"As for you, new crew members, I am Captain Hino. And I will tell you now, I may be woman but you will respect me as your temporary captain. I guarantee you that you will be treated with the same respect. Do you understand?" Rei asked in a stern voice.
"Excuse me Captain Hino, but I have a question." one of the crew members asked.
"Yes?" Rei asked.
"Is it that time?" the crew member asked trying to hold back a laugh. Rei's eyes narrowed, knowing exactly what he meant and before the man even knew it, a dagger had flown rite by his head.
"Next time you decide you want to entertain your companions, make sure to direct your insults at someone else because I guarantee you that next time I will not miss." Rei said as she walked off.
The crew member didn't seem affected by Rei's outburst until he felt a sting and reached up to find that there was a little slice right through the top of his ear. The other crew members, noticing this, gulped. The members of Rei's crew, who had witnessed the event, began to laugh at the new members stupidity.
"That will show you to be more respectful." Jadeite said as he slapped his [crew member's forehead. He then ran off to catch up to Rei.
"Captain Hino!" Jadeite called.
"How can I help you Captain Jadeite?" Rei asked, anger still evident in her voice.
"Well first off, I wanted to apologize for the behavior of that crew member." Jadeite said.
"It is quite alright, sometimes it is hard for a man to take orders from a woman." Rei replied.
"Yes, that is true, but I also wanted to tell you that you forgot to tell us where we were being housed." Jadeite said.
"Do not worry Captain Jadeite, I have not forgotten. I was actually on my way to fetch someone to lead your crew to their chambers. If you would be so kind as to follow me, for your chamber is somewhere near my own." Rei replied. Jadeite nodded.
"Ryuho!" Rei called.
"Yes Captain Hino?" a man said while walking over to them.
"Will you please escort the new crew members to theirs chambers." Rei said.
"Of course Captain." Ryuho replied, bowing respectfully as he left.
"Your men seem to truly respect you." Jadeite said.
"They respect me because I earned it." Rei replied.
"I do not doubt that." Jadeite said. Rei chose not to respond to that.
"Here we are Captain Jadeite, if you need anything my chamber is two doors down and if you have not eaten I do believe that the galley is still serving breakfast." Rei said.
"Thank you Captain Hino and please, call me Jadeite." Jadeite said winking at her.
"Why, thank you Jadeite and please call me Captain Hino." Rei said smirking as she walked away.
"What a lady." Jadeite told himself as he watched Rei walk away.

…The Crescent Storm, only five minutes after they set sail
"You know what? You should really lighten up." Mina said.
"I do not take to kindly to having a bucket of water thrown at me for no reason." Kunzite replied. They were currently located in Mina's conference room sitting across from another.
"I told you there was a reason, I thought you were on fire."
"Whatever I don't want to hear your sorry excuses." Kunzite said beginning to stand up.
"You should learn not to be so rude, I said I was sorry" Mina said as he got up.
"Well maybe you should learn not to act so childish." Kunzite replied.
"Well maybe you should pull that stick out of your ass." Mina threw back. At this Kunzite froze, he turned and brought his face inches from Mina's and said.
"Listen woman, I do not know who you think your talking to but…"
"I think I am talking to a guest on my ship, one that should learn to be more respectful at that." Mina said glaring at him.
"Insolent woman!" Kunzite yelled.
"I should be saying the same to you!" Mina said not backing down.
"I am not a woman." Kunzite said turning around and crossing his arms.
"Sure argue like one." Mina grumbled.
"I cannot stand being in the same room as you for another minute." Kunzite said as he turned to walk out the door.
"Well you know what?" Mina said. Kunzite turned towards her.
"What?" he asked.
"Plhhhhhh!" Mina said sticking her tongue out at him.
"Childish." Was all that Kunzite said as he walked out of the room, a hint of a smile on his face.

…back on the Terran Destroyer, still in port
After his encounter with Serenity, Endymion had stormed on to his ship where Zoicite found him sulking in his office (Captain's Quarters).
"What is wrong Endymion? I have never seen you this upset." Zoicite asked.
"She told me I wasted her life." Endymion said not looking up from his desk.
"Who?" Zoicite asked.
"Usa-I mean Serenity." Endymion replied.
"I am sure she didn't mean it Endymion, it's the anger speaking. Have you not figured what she is mad about? Why she thinks you betrayed her?" Zoicite said.
"No, but I know it has something to do with a woman though. Maybe she thinks I cheated on her." Endymion suggested.
"Well, have you done anything that would have suggested that you were with another woman?" Zoicite asked.
"No, I have always stayed loyal to Serenity. Other women have never caught my attention." Endymion replied.
"Well there is only one thing I can say, and that is, finish up your search in the south as soon as possible so that you can go and find her." Zoicite said. "Now if you excuse me I have a search to begin."

…On the War Hawk, one hour later with Nephrite and Zoicite
"Man I hate Kunzite and Jadeite." Nephrite said.
"Why?" Zoicite asked.
"Because they get to go off with those hot captains from the Lunar Fleet." Nephrite replied.
"Yes, I know what you mean." Zoicite replied in return.
"I wish I could have gone with Captain Kino." Nephrite said.
"Why do you like her?" Zoicite asked.
"She interests me." Nephrite replied.
"Oh, well I am going to give you the same advice I gave Endymion." Zoicite said.
"And what is that?" Nephrite asked.
"Finish the search as fast as possible so that we can go find them." Zoicite replied.
"So wecan go find them?" Nephrite asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well of course," Zoicite said smirking, " Captain Mizuno needs me."
"Zoicite, you sly dog." Nephrite smirked back. "But if you ask me, Captain Mizuno doesn't look like the type of girl that you go for. And the other captains seem like the type to castrate you if you were to use her." he finished.
"Who said I wanted to use her? And no she doesn't look like those women who are so quick to throw themselves at a man because they think he looks good." Zoicite said.

…somewhere out there on The Supreme Thunder
"I can't believe we haven't spotted not one ship since we left Lunaterra." Makoto said as she put up her spyglass.
"Don't worry Mako-chan we will find one soon." Ami replied.
"Yes well we better hurry. Someone could find the hideout and we would still be stuck looking for a ship." Makoto grumbled.
"I am so sorry Mako-chan, if I had been able to defend my ship better you wouldn't be stuck here looking for a ship." Ami said in a low voice.
"No Ami, I didn't mean it that way. And it wasn't your fault that your ship was sunk, they had a lot more men than you." Makoto said trying comfort Ami.
"They did, didn't they?" Ami said cheering up, "But it's ok because next time that ship encounters the Ice Storm, it will be the one under water."
"That's the spirit, now come on because I think I see a ship over to the east." Makoto said.

…that night on the Lunar Catastrophe
Serenity was on the deck of the ship just looking at the moon. She sighed thinking about all that had occurred in the past day and a half.
"You should not have accepted his invitation Serenity, you knew something like this would happen." Serenity said aloud.
"But no you had to prove yourself to him, you had to show him that you were doing fine without him. Stupid, stupid, stupid." she said hitting her forehead.
"Your not stupid Rene." Rini said coming up behind her. "You're in love."
"I do not love him Rini, not anymore. And can I ask you a favor? Could you please leave, I need to be alone." Serenity replied.
"Of course I will, but you know if you keep denying it, you will only hurt yourself more." Rini said as she walked back into the ship.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rini decided to take a walk through the crews chambers to make sure that everything was going good with the new crew members. While walking through one of the many halls in the crew's quarters Rini bumped into somebody.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Rini said turning to look at the handsome white haired man from earlier.
"No I am the one who should be apologizing, I was not looking where I was going." the man said.
"It's fine, aren't you one of the new crew members from the Terran fleet?" Rini asked.
"Yes I am, Nishimura, Helios at your service." the man said holding his hand out for her to shake. Rini in turn shook hand.
"Tsukino, Rini, first mate, it is nice to meet you Mr. Nishimura. So tell me how are you settling in so far?" Rini asked.
"I am settling in just fine. And I would truly appreciate it if you would call me Helios, Mr. Nishimura makes me sound like some old man." Helios replied.
"Of course and because I can call you Helios, you may call me Rini." Rini told him.
"Well it was nice meeting you Rini but I am afraid I must go, I have the next watch." Helios said.
"Of course, I didn't mean to hold you up." Rini replied.
"It is fine, well I'll see you around." he said as he left.
"Yeah, see you around." Rini said as she watched him walk away.

…back with Serenity
"Why did things have to happen this way?" Serenity asked herself. She looked up at the moon.
"Endymion." she whispered.
What she didn't know was that Endymion was looking at that same moon (A/N: duh..) at that same moment.
"Serenity." he whispered.
