The author's words: This is the ending part~

The author's words to Sailor Swifty: Well...actually I don't know how to describe the ending, happy or sad...but at least, Kunzite and Zoisite are with each other~

~O~

Back to the story:

The one of Beryl and me was a meeting that changed the destiny of all of us…and even the destiny of the whole kingdom, the whole planet, perhaps.

After finishing the discussion with Beryl, I found Zoisite in the piano room. The copper-haired boy was playing piano while Sailor Mercury was listening quietly. Neither of them was aware of me stepping into the piano room. My beauty was devoting himself in the music and seemed even didn't bother to care about whoever was in.

Sailor Mercury didn't realize my entering until I stood beside her. She smiled while bent her knees and greeted me:"Greets to you, Lord Kunzite, what a coincidence to see you here."

Zoisite surely heard her words, and his expression showed that he hadn't expected me being here. The music suddenly stopped, and the musician stood up before turned to us:"Lord Kunzite." He glanced at Sailor Mercury and seemed to pause to think for a while before said so and bowed to me.

"Sorry to disturb the best musician of Elysium together with the most hard-working scholar of Silver Millennium." I successfully hid my jealousy—though I already knew clearly that nobody could take his heart away from me, I couldn't help felt jealous whenever thinking or talking about Zoisite together with others, especially the girl known as the one betrothed with him—behind my calm tone as if it was no more than a teacher talking to his five-star student.

"What is it, Lord Kunzite?" Before Zoisite said a word, Sailor Mercury gently asked with a smooth smile.

I considered for an instant before answered:"I don't mean to disturb but, Zoisite, I have to talk to you." Zoisite nodded and apologized to the blue-haired girl for his absence and stepped towards me. Mercury smiled considerately while the boy was following me:"Just go ahead, Zoi-chan, and I will be here read some books."

I went back to my office with Zoisite followed me. In the office I made sure that nobody would hear our talking and locked the door before said to him:"Time to get ready, Zoisite."

My tone was serious, and the talent boy stared at me also seriously:"For what, Kunzite-sama?" He added before I said a single word:"Whatever it is, I will fight for you, Kunzite-sama, I belong to you completely." His voice was soft and tranquil, as if he didn't care whatever would happen.

"For fighting, Zoisite." I kissed him and said, "For fighting against the destiny which we refuse to accept." Didn't wait for his reaction I added:"As you had said, Zoisite, it's unfair, so we have to fight against that, for the sake of not only ourselves but also the whole planet."

Zoisite gazed at me, looking into those emerald eyes I could see a mixture of faith, courage, steadfastness and, which I could never let down, his loyalty and love to me. "My Lord." He quietly murmured, "My Kunzite-sama, I'm always under your command. I'm ready."

Again I could not help kissed him passionately. I was reluctant to be separated with his soft, rosy lips, and I felt difficult to fight back the urge to be immersed in that sweet flavor of rose. However, I had something important to tell him.

I broke the kiss and stepped backward a bit. Zoisite pouted at first, but when he realized my serious look he must understood that I had something to tell him. Hence, he stopped pouting at once and waited for my words.

"Zoisite, we planned to get use of the power of Metallia." I said, and then I told all the things happened in that day till I found him in the piano room.

The talent boy said nothing but nodded quietly. I told him that I had to go to talk to Nephrite and Jadeite. Hearing that, Zoisite hesitated before said in a low voice:"Kunzite-sama?"

I was about to leave when heard him calling, and I stood and turned back to him:"What is it, my love?"

Zoisite hesitated again and bit his lip. But at last he decided to say:"May I talk to the prince and the king as the last try, Kunzite-sama?" He added before I answered:"Perhaps the king would reconsider his decision if he knew the truth so we could make a better plan then, after all he is the king of the Kingdom of Golden Elysium."

I sighed, to be honest, I didn't believe in the king anymore, but Zoisite was too young and he had not been in the palace for long enough. Yet, I prefer to give him a chance:"Go ahead, Zoisite."

It took me an afternoon telling about the current situation to the other two royal guardians.

Neither Nephrite nor Jadeite really cared about the political engagement. Sailor Jupiter was good at cooking and gardening and almost everything that a perfect housewife was excepted to do, and Sailor Mars was a hottie who attracted that blond fellow guardian of mine at least physically. However, just as what I had expected, both of them cared more about the fate of our planet.

All we should do now, is to wait for tomorrow.

Yet, in the evening I found that there was still one thing we had never excepted…

The king of Golden Elysium was a homophobic.

Zoisite told me that the king got mad even before Zoisite went to the part of our relationship formally…he was only giving a hint and the king burst into fury and fear. Zoisite looked a little uneasy when recalling that, but he managed to calm down within a few seconds and told me about the whole thing.

"You twist scums!" The king yelled at Zoisite as soon as he guessed what the boy meant, "How long have you been keeping such a sick relationship? –Oh don't even answer me, I hate to hear about that! He has already got a fiancée and you will be engaged, too, how could you be so sick!"

"But Your Majesty, the political engagement may be a plot of the Silver Millennium…" Zoisite tried to explain, yet he was interrupted at once by the crazy king:"Shut up, you sick anomalous bed toy! Do you think I would believe in the words from a gay!" Before Zoisite said anything, he added:"Get out of here! I will punish you after the precious guests from the moon finish their friendly visit!"

I kept silent when listening to his narration. Had the king was not a homophobic, or had Zoisite didn't began with our relationship, would it be any different? I didn't know the answer, neither did I asked my lover. I held Zoisite in my embrace and kissed his forehead to comfort him, he kept quiet, too.

Those visitors from the Silver Millennium left the earth in the evening, and the action was kept secret to all the earthlings except the royal family. However, Beryl knew that and told us about it, also secretly.

"It seems that the lunarians had been told something by our king." Said Beryl, who was frowning, "But it's not important anymore. With that ginzuishou they would know about it before our action anyway." She grabbed her crystal ball, "Tomorrow, for the destiny of our own planet."

It was a crazy night of Zoisite and me. We made it again and again, as if it was a night of farewell. Sweat mixed with tears, and both of us knew the possible price of fighting against the destiny…and against the spiritual autocracy.

Not as unexpected as that of accepting them, nevertheless.

In the following morning, it was time. With the raise of the sun, Beryl shouted on the square:"For freedom and independence, for the fate of our own planet!" At the same time, we were standing beside her as the shitennou of the Dark Kingdom.

I felt the activation of the dark side of Metallia, some kind of dark power had all of us, including Beryl, though it wasn't visible yet. Well, it was a kind of reflection of interfering the natural action of the earth, and we could not get rid of it.

However, what happened was happened, and at least, I still had Zoisite, and that was enough to me.

Time to attack, target: Silver Millennium on the moon.

-THE END-

~O~

The author's words: I am really feeling so encouraged and exciting that I have finally finished this fanfiction! Actually this is neither my first fanfiction nor my first English version fanfiction, BUT! This is the first time that I try writing a story directly in English instead of writing firstly in my mother language and then translate it into English! So, I think it was an important breakthrough of my challenging myself!

Again, apologize for the vocabulary or grammar mistakes, if there were any, and thank you to all who have enjoyed this fanfiction, especially Innouva and Sailor Swifty, who had really encouraged me a lot!

Well...I do have another pen name on this website, which was signed up a little earlier than this one, would you guess which that is? ~^^

And I will use this pen name specially for my fanfictions written in the first person, and that one for those in the third person~ I found it a good way (and the only way for me...perhaps...) to practice different writing styles~
