Chapter4 The lunch, part 2
"Please Selenity, take it slowly, nobody's going to jump at you if you don't answer immediately" Amy reassured her warmly and friendly, almost instantaneously, seeing her breathless.
That is what she thinks. I will jump at her no matter how she and what she answers. His handsome lips held a hint of cruelty, his face deadly calm, a calm that would make a lion shiver and crawl back.
Quickly Selenity, make something up! They'll get suspicious.
"I got lost. I was trying to use a portal in a hope that it'll transport me in desired place, but it backfired, and somehow I manage to end up here." I am a genius, after all, this isn't a lie. She smiled using all her might to suppress the accelerated beatings of her heart.
Okay, I actually believe her so far. However, she looks terribly over-excited and short breathed over such a trivial matter. Endymion tried to hide his smug expression, urging her to continue, "Yes, and what was the place you teleported yourself off?" His curious deep voice made Amy and Rei look each other significantly exchanging some weird looks and invisible words with hidden meaning only they could understand.
"Well, some distant star system at the other side of the Galaxy in which I settled down when I left, that is, disappeared." –she said cautiously trying to match her story with Mina's previous speech in the thub. I cannot let them know that I am from the future, for I will make a jumbled mess out of it. They'll never stop asking questions. My Guardian will be enraged –if I still have one, after what I did- and she'll condemn me to repeat this mess all over again in time, in an endless loop until I get it right.
"Aha, and why did left you husband, err me, and disappear in the first place?" As he worked up to be seemingly serious his eyes betrayed amusement. My, my, she just keeps digging herself deeper and deeper. I wonder what she'll invent next.
Selenity frowned. "That is the funny part. I don't remember. I lost most of my memory when trying to visit the Guardian of time, I got lost in one of those portals, which is easy to do considering how many dangerous creatures lurk around there." Yes, she'll back my story for sure, she knows of the importance of not changing the past.
"The last thing I remember getting to that distant planet, similar to ours. The funny thing is, I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for another error." She finished too quickly and breathlessly, making the cute picture of a child that has yet to learn how to lie, her big bright blue eyes backing her theory as if begging the others to believe her.
"Oh, so you knew Chronos, the God of time Selenity? I didn't know that back then. What did you need him for, anyway?" Endymion continued happily his never ending torture, enjoying her little lies too much.
"Chronos?" Confusion swept her innocent face, but she quickly pushed it away. Chronos is Sailor's Pluto father, I remember that. Great, is he dead? Has she yet to be born? Great, now what?
"Yes, yes, exactly, is he still around here?" She answered hurriedly, trying to change the topic, and dig herself out of the mess desperately.
The girls were filled with awe. "Oh my God, you knew Goddesses Pluto's father!" Mina hilariously retorted as if she were an ancient fossil, with her blue eyes, that were just a shade brighter than Selenity's grew wider every minute passing by.
Oh, so he is dead after all. Luckily, for me, they won't have a way to confirm my theory. I think I'll stay here for the rest of my life, my Crystal never failed after all!
"He was a true legend even back then." Lita happily joined the conversation.
"So, what did you need him for, Selenity?" Endymion's voice pierced the cheerful atmosphere as fast as the speed of light running through space. I wish to see you blush even a redder hue than you are now, my precious. I missed you're lovely red face.
Or maybe it is a mistake AFTER all. Perhaps I'll have to run away again if they find out the truth.
"Oh nothing important, really." Her treacherous voice shuddered, as if to betray her feelings.
"To say the truth, AHEM... " the words seemed to stuck in her suddenly dried throat "..it is all a little bit foggy, and I don't remember all to well." She said hastily touching her soft neck, as if that would reassure her that nothing is wrong with this huge amount of lies she just blurted out, her face now, completely resembling a ripe red tomato.
Congratulations, my precious petite kitten, it seems that your skills have improved over time. I wonder how exactly long that time is. If my father hadn't killed you, I would almost believe in that funny nonsense of yours you claim to be the truth.
The girls, though, seemed satisfied with the answers.
Rei lazily got up in a sweet sensual motion, and sleepily said "You'll excuse me, I 'll go to take a nap, I had a looong day."
"What long day? It is barely a quarter past four" Amy teasingly answered, removing a strayed curved lock of her deep blue hair out of her eyes, forcing it behind her ear.
Crossing her arms underneath her bosom in defiance, Rei retorted, "You would know, if you EVER had a long day like I just had."
"Now, you two, stop that immediately" Lita tried to calm the visible upcoming tides of fury.
"Well, I had long days, like yours, and INEVER got TIRED my friend" Mina smugly stated, her head slightly tilted in a mocking posture, her hair, like a light blonde waterfall following her motion obediently.
They never change. Selenity mused contently, savoring her fabulous chocolate dessert with mountains of cream threatening to pour out of the crystal jar. Oh this is simply heavenly. The best dessert I ever tasted. The way this sweet torturing substance melts in my mouth, making my mind float on heaven's fluffy clouds.
Some things never change. Endymion smiled while watching her drown herself into the dessert wholeheartedly, their thoughts mirroring subconsciously. That was your favorite dessert, THE NUMBER ONE; which was quite an envious place, considering the amount of desserts you had devoured and adored. I ordered it especially for you. He mentally added his smile never leaving him.
Rei started laughing without any control whatsoever. "Match point for you! GIVE ME FIVE Mina!" –she raised the palm of her hand. Mina readily clasped her palm with her own.
"Amy and Lita do not get a joke even when is right in front of their lovely noses". Mina deducted with a wide grin.
Amy frowned, looked at them superiorly, raising her nose just an inch higher in the air. "As If you two ever know how to tell one."
As they continued arguing, Endymion let his memories, that he had longed to suppress, for his soul has never been complete without her and he never was the type of the man who loved to torture himself; to wonder freely.
My precious, innocent angel, you look so cute when you are embarrassed. Yeeess. I clearly remember how I enjoyed slowly taking every ounce of shame that you had back then in Chronos Millennium as if it were yesterday.
I had you kidnapped before your darling fiancée returned from that stupid war, I never figured out what was for anyway. I never wage or had waged a war. I simply always end the matters in one, swift blow of my Crystal. I am after all, the most promising and most powerful of the Omega Carriers, the chosen heir of darkness; one that will possibly earn the title of the rightful owner of the Chaos Seed, that is, the mythical Chaos Crystal.
He smiled, his lips betraying a touch of male pride, and dark possession. That decent idiot of a gentlemen! He never had touched you, never had his filthy hands even remotely on you. I never had let him. He smugly concluded.
I had known from the moment I have had set my eyes on you, in that monumental Moon palace of yours, that you'll be entirely mine. That I will not ever let another to touch you. If I have had back then a beautiful nymph like you, I wouldn't have been able to wait until the wedding, to keep my hands off of yours heavenly body.
I remember clearly as it had happened yesterday.
The never ending tantalizing rumors in my palace of your rare, unique beauty, that stirred my curiosity.. The famous engaged Moon Queen that has newly inherited the throne, for your mother had retired willingly so you could take your rightful place as a ruler… at the fragile age of eighteen.
Oh, yes.. Who would forget the infinite number of stupid, insignificant men that had been crawling at your feet just to get your attention without any shred of male pride?
I knew I had to see you, the forbidden fruit. Take just one glimpse. I remember clearly that stolen moment in your garden.
The one that seem like an eternity, for the time had stopped; moonflowers were all around you. Their tantalizing scent had matched your own. Yours blissfully closed eyes while you had been relaxing, the never ending golden waterfalls of your hair, I even had found those silly meatballs on your head cute… your tiny fragile body never had expected my grip. I had taken you in the blink of the eye. You never even had the chance to scream.
His cocky smirk grew wider.
OOOOhhh….. you had your chance to scream later. Hmmm... how I enjoyed taking your innocence, as if you have had any choice in that matter. Your virginity owned solely by me. I married you against your will. I ignored your futile protests. I made you beg for more of my sweet torture. You adored me against your sane judgment, for your body had betrayed you. I worshiped you with my whole being. I turned you in an insatiable whimpering pile of sweat. Your body belonged to me. Your soul destined to be with mine...soul mates.
I'll be damned if I'll let you disappear, or die again.
I'll destroy the very Cauldron if I have to, to find you. That Guardian will have to make an exception for me. That little winged pest knows too much for her own good. She guards all the Crystals, including yours.. especially yours. She'll have to spill out your whereabouts. I couldn't do that before, because you died. And, one can be reincarnated only after a certain amount of time. But, you are not dead now. This time, if you ran, the Guardian will see the worst of me.
Not that you'll be able to run. Not after I did to you. His face distorted in a content grimace, and his deep blue eyes showed again hints of red, making them appear almost violet.
But you had that stupid conscience of yours, that idiotic sense of duty. You had been so damn afraid that you might be the cause of yet another civil war, for your mother, the first Moon Queen, Selena, have had already promised your hand to that despicable mummy of a man. And she had been widely known for her wisdom and honor. You had been so afraid that we might end kill each other and destroy the Sol system in the process. And that fool, he wanted you back even after he had found out that I had taken your honor.
Wanted? No.. craved desperately for you would be a better word.
Oh…how I remember your numerous silly attempts to escape me. To save the little that had been left of your pride, to salvage your mother's honor. You had always ended in my bed shortly after I had caught you, and made you scream my name in pleasure over and over again. Yours silly futile attempts made my blood run faster, my power of self-control vanish completely.
Self control? Yeah… like I ever had any when you had been,.. ARE concerned.
Now, who is that Mamoru, trash of the guy you have mistaken me with? I don't care. He will never see you again. EVER again. Why exactly you came here for from that mysterious future of yours? Like I do care. I do not intend to let you out of my grasp ever, EVER EVER again. But, I intend to found out anyway.
You were so damn pure, a warm light that my father so foolishly had destroyed, that never shone again, until now. My father had left the entire Universe without your light, the light of the rightful owner of the Mystical Silver Crystal. Your light died leaving my soul in complete darkness; in a world who has forgotten how to be pure. A world without mercy, for none had been showed to me. I had lost everything; you above all. My precious one, my angel, whom I never even had deserved in the first place. My mother, my father had betrayed me. Nothing had mattered to me any more..
Yet, there is something odd about your Crystal now. It appears that it finally had evolved. Even mine hasn't yet.
Your destiny is fulfilled. The ancient prophecy that neither you believed in, never even had wanted to take any part in, let alone the main one.
Lita's sharp voice interrupted his long pondering, for she got up irritated, crossing her hands menacingly. Gee, I can not believe that this women are still fighting over nothing.
"It's time that we leave, don't you agree ladies?" She gazed at the three goddesses, caught in the mid of fight, as if they were mere children. "I am sure that they have a loooooooooooooooooooot of catching up to do, ne!"
The copper haired beauty concluded with a meaningful look, her green eyes held a promise of upcoming thunder.
The fiery trio quickly realized that they were "outnumbered" for the tall girl was always the physically strongest one; she could easily beat the living hell out of them, since power misuse was STRICTLY forbidden inside the walls of Dark Lord's palace.
Lita continued strictly… "MINA? AMY? ReeeeeeeeEI? Shall we? "
Sweat drop. Another sweat drop. And sweeeeeeat drOP.
They vanished in the blink of the eye muttering "See'ya tomorrow Selenity." quickly leaving the two "lovebirds" alone.. embarrassed smiles idly lingering on their flushed faces.
"So, MY darling WIFE, we are finally alone."
She chuckled again, trying to catch her breath desperately, swearing she saw raw, animal desire carefully hidden behind his calm posture.
And… it's intensity scared her.
A/N : Guys, thank you for the reviews! You mean so much to me! Feel free to ask everything! As you probably noticed, I changed the summary. Do you like this one better, or the old one?
Should I change it again?
If you haven't figured yet the "Chaos thing" will be clearer in the future chapters. But, I think I had given a lots of hints by now, even without my conclusions and explanations in the future chapters, you should be able to guess. Hehe geee I am evil,… anyway, I just want you to jog your brainwaves running at the maximum capacity.
ABOUT THE PLOT (perhaps this will clear some of the confusion if you are confused)
Cherrie "So basically this is just past lives? How far in the future did she come from though? I may have missed it... was it past crystal Tokyo and I am assuming the whole sailor scout thing applies as well."
It's really quite simple. This is a Sailor Cosmos's story, and the origins of her starseed according to me. I'll repeat some things you probably all know, but I don't want any confusions, just to be sure. It is based on some manga facts (actually it is a continuation where the manga left off)
In the very far, and unknown future I called Crystal Cosmos Millennium in the 1st chappie, after she had destroyed finally Sailor Chaos, at high cost -the Sailor Crystals of her friends and Mamoru were destroyed, therefore they cannot be reincarnated again. That is, Cosmos Crystal Millennium comes immediately after Crystal Millennium (the second season in the anime) when she transformed from her Neo-Queen Serenity form and became Sailor Cosmos. She is the chosen light of hope, the rightful owner of the Cosmos Seed.
The last manga sentence, that I qouted in the first chapter is Mamoru's when he looks at usagi and says that they'll all be gone one day, but she will shine eternally. That also left me wondering… that sucks! What kind of eternity is that going to be? Without her beloved friends?
So, this is story about her. What will she do once she gets desperate all by herself? And, what will be the ultimate cost? She decides to go a long time before Silver Millennium ever happened. She basically barged in the Chaos Millennium. (Before the Chaos Millennium was Chronos Millennium, ruled by Endymion's father.)
But she is in for a BIG SURPRISE. Mamoru is there the chosen candidat for "Chaos"! This is his FIRST past life (the second being Silver Milennium, and so on), and he is EVIL.
So, long time ago, you can imagine them living in the Chronos Millennium (the both first past incarnations of Usagi and Mamoru). After her past self tragically died (the first past life of Selenity-usagi, the second being silver Millennium, the third present time), he went mad and become the lord of the Chaos Millennium after he killed his family... and did something more…ehmm.. later you will found out
Then he dies at some point long before Silver Millennium (Note: he would become immortal if he had managed to earn the title of the rightful owner of the Chaos Seed So why didn't' he become the ultimate evil? ahem.. (later you will found out)) everything happens exactly the same –the story we all now too well- and our Usagi as Cosmos decides that she can not be alone any more after two milennia of solace, and goes back in the past, where Endymion explains that her past self was murdered a thousands years ago in Chronos Millennium. To repeat again, they are not immortal, they only live a veeeeery long time.
Our little klutz isnt't aware of what she has gotten herself just into….! She will not put the two and two together so fast.
Hopes that answers a lot of questions. But, as you already probably figured out, this will be one of those stories in which you have to read till the end to understand completely.
Rena Moon "I wonder will she have any time with the girls? Or is Endymion going to keep her all locked up? Like a bird in a cage, only for him to view."
Yes Rena Moon! Smart smart thinking! He will let her go around and have fun… as long as she behaves properly! I'll let your imagination do the rest.
Becx "..Selenity is in the past or future? If in the past, then where would Endymion have known her before? ... And I'm glad Selenity isn't dumb. She actually seems smart, which is great! And oh, pls explain more about who Endymion is. I'm still lost. "
Thank you for the thought that the characters are lively! Now,…Selenity is in the past –from the future. In Chaos Millennium, a thousand years go her past self was murdered in the Chronos Millennium., by Endymion's father. Endymion infact, when she came to him in the 1st chappie thought that she was her past self. In the third chappie he figured out (after she didn't know his family's name) that she is in fact, her future form. But, he doesn't care. It's still his love.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but Selenity isn't neither very smart. She'll put two and two eventually. Endymion doesn't know her as Sailor Cosmos, just as Selenity.
ChibiRikku1 "I think this is sad in a way.. I mean her friends dont remember her, nither does her lover, which I might add is Evil! Man... "
Sad would be if she stayed in Cosmos Millennium without them, for eternity. Here, her friends were all born after she died in Chronos Millennium. They were not SUPPOSED to know her, let alone remember her.. they have only heard about her. And yes.. he is EVIL. But he ADORES HER. And he would give his life away just to be with her. That kinda' messed his father's plans for him..
