I do not own sailor moon. Thank you for the reviews.
Sorry for the long wait. Writers block, brother getting married and getting four new nephews and my job have been taking all my time.
Prince Endymion was upset. For a week Usagi was in bed unconscious. He couldn't believe that she took that hit for him. He visited Usagi everyday since the attack. Yesterday his parents left the palace to go on a tour of the kingdom. The king and queen said that they had planned this trip for a year and that they could not delay it. They left the kingdom in Endymion's hands.Hestia was upset that her friend was like this because of her. After all Usagi did bring her back. The shitennuo, well they didn't say anything. They tried to comfort their prince, by distracting him.
The day that Endymion's parents left, the blue-eyed prince discovered something. Their was a bell on a chain on Usagi's dresser. Endymion picked up and looked at it. Strange he thought no clapper. He shook it and nothing happened at that moment. Within a minute there was a phoenix on the window sill. The bird of fire flew over to the sleeping princess and stared at her. Then the bird looked at the prince and stuck it's leg out. The prince had no idea what to do. The bird was obviously intelligent. It stared at the prince then the princess and flew towards the desk and took Usagi's pen and started to write.
"I am a messenger for Queen of the elves. I am called by the bell. What is your wish"
Prince was amazed. He quickly wrote down what happened and gave the paper to the bird and sent the bird off. The prince hoped that Usagi's mother would know what to do.
The prince got his wish. The queen showed up today. She looked a little tired and worried. Telperien walked calmly to where her daughter laid. The queen then sat down beside her and took her hand. Endyimon could feel the power that the queen was using. Telperien could feel her daughter's defenses go up and quickly go them to come down by telling her who she is. The queen searched Usagi's mind and could feel something wasn't right. The prince didn't completely clear the poison out. This was why the princess of the elves wouldn't wake up. The queen cleanse the poison and pulled out of her daughter's mind. Telperien turned and looked at Endyimon.
"She will be okay now. The poison got to her brain before you could cleanse it out of her and when she used her body to help Hestia, her body couldn't take anymore. It needed rest. I will back later to check on her progress. I will be in my rooms"
"Thank you very much, Queen Telperien"
"Endyimon, please call me Telperien"
The elven queen left for her rooms and the prince sat down in a chair with a sigh of relief. The prince left the room and to find his sister to tell her the good news. He found his sister learning how to use a sword in his private gardens. The king and queen of Earth decided that their daughter should learn how to defend herself after the incident. The four shinetto were there too. Currently Jediete was teasing Hestia. Hestia was red face and wildly swinging her sword to hit Jediete. Endymion smiled, he was happy that his sister was doing something that she wanted. When the two people holding swords saw the prince they stopped and walked over to him.
"Any news on Usagi's condition." The young princess of Earth asked.
"Yeah, Queen Telperien came and healed her. She should sleep for a day to regain her energy, but otherwise she should be fine." The prince of Earth said to his younger sister.
"Good, I was worried about her." Hestia said. "When can we go see her"
"When she wakes up." Endymion replied.
The next day Usagi woked up in her bed alone. She called her maid and waited. Instead of a maid Prince Endymion and her mother came into her room with food.
"How are you feeling my daughter." Telperien asked Usagi.
"I am just a little tired but otherwise fine. How long have I been out?" Usagi asked.
"For a week." Endymion answered.
"Is Hestia okay?" The blonde princess asked.
"Yes, she is. She is training right now"
"Thanks, I think that I will go see her now." This response got frown from both her mother and the prince.
"I think you should stay in bed for a while longer." her mother commented "But, I been in bed for a week." Usagi said with a pout.
"Just because you were out, doesn't mean that you were resting. Maybe tomorrow, besides you need to make an appearance at the ball tonight." Endymion added.
"What so you can parade me around to make the other girls jealous." Usagi said knowing what will happen.
"Oh, come on you know that without you around the girls will eat me alive." The prince said with a disgusted look on his face.
"Let's hope that Beryl doesn't make an appearance." Usagi said with a serious tone.
"She won't, there is a warrant for her arrest for attacking us." Endymion told her.
"See you don't need me around your biggest problem girl is gone." Usagi said jokingly.
"Yeah, but I don't want to find out who her successor is." Endymion said with puppy dog eyes. "Well I am going to leave you two alone for a while. I need to spend time with my sister and her new powers."
"What's going on with you and the prince?" Queen Telperien asked her daughter.
"Nothing we had a bet and I lost. Now I have to court him at the parties and such. He really is scared of the girls"
"You know that you can't marry him, so don't fall for him." The elven queen said with a dark look.
"I know." Usagi said dejectedly. 'But I am already in love with him,' the princess thought.
"So tell me your version of the events of that night." So Usagi told her mother everything that happened.
"So do you think that Earth has a senshi now." Usagi asked her mother.
"I don't know, I mean those girls are legendary. I would of thought that one of them would be down here by now to check her out." The eleven queen told her daughter.
"Yeah, but you know that contact with the Moon and the Earth is forbidden." Usagi added.
"This may change the policy. A senshi not trained. I bet they will send someone soon. We just have to on the lookout for them and help." Telperien said in thought. "I think that I might have a plan to help them get access to the princess with out suspension"
"Okay, mother. I need to get some sleep before tonight. I hate to see Endy get mobbed by a bunch of girls." Usagi said with a goofy grin.
A few hours later Usagi woked quickly. She looked around because she had the feeling that she was being watched. She quietly walked around her room and checked every hiding place. After thoroughly inspecting her room she looked outside and saw two blurs of black. They were too far away for her to catch.
She sighed and went to her closet to pick out her dress for tonight. She picked a light blue gown. It was a halter top with a low back. There was enough room in the shirt to add a dagger to Usagi's garter, just in case.
That night two new ladies were at the ball. They looked like goddesses. One of them had long blond hair and sparkling blue eyes that were full of mischief. She wore a orange gown that had no sleeves. The bodice and the shirt were tight, the left side had a slit that went up to her thigh. The other one had long black hair and violet eyes that could see right through you. She wore a dark red dress. It had a strap that came over her left shoulder, the bodice and the skirt were tight and she had a slit going up her right leg. The more usagi stared at them, the more uneasy she was with them. They had yet to make towards their group. There was a subtle power that resided in them. It seemed to glowed on the outside of them. Usagi's mother was surprised at this. They thought that only the generals and the existing royalty cold use magic, but the two girls were cloaked in it. Then they came up.
The two girls bowed to the prince and introduced themselves. "I am Lady Minako and this is my cousin, Lady Rei" the blonde said the prince.
"Nice to meet you, Lady Minako and Lady Rei." The prince said not sure of their intentions. "This is Princess Usagi and her mother Queen Telperien of the elves." As he said that he grabbed Usagi's hand quickly. Telperien frowned. Then Kunzite stepped forwarded.
"Lady Minako, may I please have this dance." The platinum blond man asked.
"Sure, Kunzite." She said with a smile as he led her onto the dance floor. "I guess they know each other. Anyways, this my sister Princess Hestia and the three gentlemen behind me are Jedeite, Nephrite and Zioscite." Endymion said to Lady Rei. They sat there in silence and watched Minako and Kunzite danced. The way they danced suggested that they had a close relationship. He dipped her and then hold her close then spin her around. Usagi looked over a Rei, she looked that she was going to explode. Usagi walked over to her and asked her.
"Are you okay?" The black haired girl looked at her and walked away. Usagi followed her and grabbed her arm. Rei's skin felt like it was burning. Usagi almost let go but didn't.
"Hey, it's rude to walk away when someone's talking to you." Usagi said angrily.
Lady Rei looked at Usagi's hand on her arm and then looked Usagi up and down as if she has x-ray vision and spoke.
"Sorry, I didn't want to apart of the conversation." Rei said sarcastically. "Now please let me go"
Usagi let go and looked at her hand, it was red and still in pain from holding Rei. Rei walk to the other side of the room and got something to drink. Usagi turned around to see Jedeite behind her.
"I think I might go after her she has spunk." The blonde general said.
"Be careful, you might get burned." Usagi response looking at her hand.
"I will be fine." Jed said walking toward Rei and Usagi knew that them together was a disaster waiting to happen. Usagi walked to her mother and Endy and told them what happened. Her hand stopped hurting but she was worried. Who in world could make their skin burn other people. She looked at her and Jedeite. He was talking to her and she was trying to ignore him. Rei looked over to Usagi and for a brief second Usagi could see fire burning in her eyes. The song ended and Minako and Kunzite walked back over to the group. They both had smiles on their faces and Kunzite had his arm wrapped around Minako's waist.
"Well, I see you already know Minako. When did you two meet?" Prince Endymion asked his top ranking general.
"Last summer, She spent the summer at my castle." Kunzite answered his prince.
"You never told me." Endy said with a hurt face.
"Well it had nothing to do with state so I didn't tell you"
"Yeah, whatever." The prince said. "I have never seen you dance with any other lady like that." The comment made Kunzite blush a little bit and Minako speak up.
"Maybe it is because he never had the right lady to dance with"
"If you can Kunzite to act like that you are more than welcome to stay here." The Prince said with laughter. "Finally, Usagi and I will have some competition on the dance floor"
"Bring it on anytime, I know moves that no one here as seen." Minako said with a grin. Usagi knew that the beautiful blonde was joking but decided to play along.
"Well Endy, I think that Lady Minako and Lord Kunzite have issued a challenged. I say that we wipe the floor with them"
"I think that you are right, let's go asked the orchestra to play a waltz." Endy said with a grin.
"Of, course Kunzite and I will go along fro now, but at the end of song we will come out on top." Minako said with a frowning Kunizte beside her. Minako dragged her partner to the floor and the prince with Usagi talked to the band and took their position on the floor. The song started slow and the two couples started to dance. At first they did a few twists and turns, but as the song got going the hotter the floor got. The steps got more rapid and the turns more sharp. Usagi didn't notice at all what Minako and Kunzite were doing cause she was focus all on Endy. They did salsa moves then swing moves it all almost overwhelm her. All she could think about was that she was going to have to end with him before she couldn't stop her self from seeing him. She also could see the desire for her in his eyes and from the way he handled her during the dance.
