Undying Chapter 2: Dismay, a sailor moon x-overs fanfic

Chapter 2

Dismay

Kento leaned over to see what had washed up.

"Lita!" he thought to himself.

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Kento?" she said squinting, "Looks like I made it after all."

"Let's get you inside." he said lifting her up.

He wasn't sure what was happening. Or why Lita was here. She seemed to have gone through a lot. So he decided not to question.

As he brought her into the house all of the other Ronins stared at him holding Lita in his arms.

"Princess Jupiter?" Cye asked.

"Well, I don't look much like a princess right now do I?" she managed to get out, still in pain from her trip.

"You better go rest." Kento said as he headed upstairs.

Lita clung tightly to him. He didn't know how to act, he wasn't sure why she was being so affectionate. He brought her into his room and lay her on the bed.

"You should rest now I'll be downstairs if you need anything." Kento assured her.

"I think I'll be fine now that I'm here, thank you." She said smiling at him.

"Um, yeah, bye."

When Kento got downstairs he was floundered by a sea of questions from the guys.

"What is she doing here?"

"How did she get here?"

"Did you just find her outside?"

"Okay, just slow down." He began, " I don't know why or how she got here, your going to have to ask her yourselves."

"She seemed beat up pretty bad Kento, don't you think you should do more than just leave her up there.?" Rowen asked.

"Well I don't know what do you expect me to do? I'm not her nurse."

"Just go up there and ask her why she's here." Cye said.

"Fine you guys want answers I'll be glad to deliver them for ya." Kento bowed sarcastically and tromped up the stairs.

When he entered his room Lita was sitting up in bed with her knees pulled up to her chest.

"Kento!" she gasped just a bit startled to see him back up so soon.

"Look I'm only her to ask you a few questions." He said.

"Okay…"

"Um…just wondering….why are you here?"

"That's an odd question."

"Why is that."

"You of all people should know."

"Know…how should I know?" he said leaning towards her.

"I came here to see you." She said a little confused as to why he was acting so clueless.

"About that too, exactly how did you get here. You obviously didn't use the Sea of Serenity, otherwise you wouldn't be in the condition your in, so how did this happen."

"The Red spot."

"What?"

"I went through the Red Spot."

"How is that possible you could have been killed, you could have ended up anywhere. In any other dimension."

"I know but I didn't and I'm here."

"I know this may sound a bit repetitive but, why would you do that?"

"All for you."

"Me? Why me?"

"What do you mean. It's because of my feeling towards you Kento. You know that."

"Feelings?"

"Yes, that night of the Planetary Dimensional Ball. We danced the whole night and, I left, and you kissed me, and…"

"I think you're a little confused."

"Confused?! How am I confused."

"That night….it…didn't…what I'm trying to say is…"

"It meant nothing to you?"

"No, I mean yes, but wait no…"

"Then what? What are you saying."

"It was just that. It was just that night. A spur of the moment type thing. I didn't think of it as anything special. I'm sure you had times like that before you being a…"

"Princess…with me being a Princess I've gotten swept off my feet before. Well that's just fine I come here to tell you I…."

"Would you let me finish!"

Kento was beginning to become frustrated and his anger was about to be pushed over the edge.

"Why should I let you finish so you can…"

"Alright that's it! You want the truth. I admit it, that night meant absolutely nothing to me. I could have cared less if it had ever happened. And I'm even beginning to regret we'd ever met. If I would've known you thought about us that way!"

Lita was stunned. She had her doubts about this feeling she had for him, but never that strong. Sadness still overcame her but she hid it with a mask of exasperation.

"Fine then. Kento Rei Faun. I don't ever want to see you again!"

"Same to you!"

She knew she didn't mean what she had said. She was about to cry, but she wasn't about to let him to see that. So she ran out of the room limping and wincing in pain, downstairs past the other Ronins and out the door. Hurrying to the side of the lake where the portal was located she fell and couldn't get back up until the guys started to chase after her. Immediately and painfully she got back up and continued to scurry away from them. She gathered up all of her energy and used her pen, creating a beam, which she shot to the lake side creating a portal, and jumping through it, leaving the boys behind.

Landing on the other side of the portal she came through the Sea of Serenity. Which was where any dimensional portal would lead you. If in another dimension. Guards that were stationed around that area saw her and sent for the Queen. Them realizing that it was, in fact, Princess Jupiter.

Of course Queen Serenity, along with Princess Serenity rushed to the scene quickly. They sent for help in taking care of her immediately. Lita had passed out over everything that had happened to her.

"How could this have happened?" Queen Serenity asked herself as Lita was being tended to.

Serena over hearing her answered.

"It's all my fault."

"Why do you say that, dear."

"If I would have just.."

"There was nothing you could have done to stop her. My only question is how she returned here. I guess we'll find out when she awakes. I'm going to contact her parents"

"Is she going to be okay, Mother?"

"With the proper medical attention, which she is receiving, she will be fine. It is a wonder though that she is still alive."

With those words Queen Serenity left the room.

After a while Lita awoke to faces looming over her. Her eyes were still coming into focus so she could barely make out who they were.

"Dad? Mom?" she said in a questioning tone.

"Hello, Darling." Her Mother answered.

"How are you doing?" Her Father asked.

"Okay…I guess."

"You just get your rest, the Doctor said you're going to have to stay in bed for quite a while."

"How long?"

"A few weeks." Her Mother said caressing her hair.

"That's….just….great…" Lita said and drifted off into another sleep.

During her medical procedure the Doctor's gave her a high dosage of sedatives to help ease her discomfort, so it was difficult to stay awake.

~~~~~~~~

The Ronins stood there not sure of what just happened.

"Kento? What was that all about?" Sage asked flabbergasted.

"Can you believe her? She comes here expecting me to greet her with open arms and tell her how much I love her." Kento said being still ticked off.

"Well she would have to have a reason to think that now wouldn't she?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Don't acted dumb Kento I saw you that night at the ball."

"Yeah, well what about it?"

"You were swooning her the whole time we were there. What did you expect? For her just to forget all about it? Even I know better than that!"

"What would you know?"

"A lot more than you!"

"I bet you do…."

With that Kento took a swing at Sage and punched him right in the jaw. Sage retaliated and returned the favor.

"Guys cut it out!" Ryo said jumping in between both of them.

"Outta my way Ryo!" Kento said pushing Ryo out of the way.

"Kento, cool your jets!" Rowen said restraining him.

"What has gotten into you." Cye asked him.

"Listen, Kento, I don't know what went on between you and that girl, but I suggest you take a hike, go for a walk or something, just cool it!" Ryo yelled.

Kento ripped his way out of Rowen's clasp and walked sternly out the front door.

"What happened to him?" Cye asked.

"I don't know." Rowen began. "Something….we'll have to ask him when he comes back. You know how Kento gets when he's angry."

"Yeah, brutal." Sage said rubbing his jaw.

~~~~~~~~

Lita awoke the next morning, not looking forward to her long stay in bed. She sighed and then noticed something was happening outside her window. A fierce battle. Her immediate reaction was to get up and fight. Wincing while getting out of bed she limped over to a table, on which her transformational pen lay and picked it up. Now as Sailor Jupiter she rushed outside.

"Heh, the Doctor was wrong I'm a fast healer." She said to herself, knowing full well that she was in no shape to fight. "An attack…" she thought to herself, "…but why. I have to get to the moon!"

Noticing that these were strange soldiers she rushed to her small ship parked near her quarters. Hoping that she wouldn't be detected she rushed to get into space and off her planet. Of course it wasn't any better there a fierce battle was also being fought on the outer rim. Dodging and shooting was all she could to make it safely to her destination.

Upon arrival to the Moon she realized that the battle happening on her planet was only a taste of what it was like here. More blood, and much more gruesome sights to behold.

She had to make her way to the palace. So mincing her way through the battle field in her already current weakened state was going to be hard enough. Getting out of her space ship she began advancing toward the scene. Then in a split second she was rushing towards it. Lightning Rod in hand. Disposing of anyone of anything in her way. Indeed she was a formidable opponent for those who challenged her. Finally, with many deep cuts and bruises she reached the palace. Seeing her friends defending it, she joined them. Then what she saw next she would never forget. Queen Beryl, that witch that had tried a stunt such as this before. Though now it seemed she had outreached much further in the solar system truly gaining more control. And in one quick flash It was all gone. The Moon Kingdom was gone. And the Silver Millennium was over.

`'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''End of Flashback''''''''''''''

So Lita just lay there wondering why she hadn't seen Kento in such a long time. I mean she remembered his reaction towards her feelings for him. Still, she kept hope alive that there was somewhere in the back of his mind that loved the. If anything of the sort ever existed there. The more she thought about it though the more she realized that it was foolish of her to sit here and wait around for him.

"What am I doing?" she thought, "Waiting for someone who I just hoped would possibly love me in return to come and retrieve me so we could be together. Well I'm not going to take it anymore."

So she decided to drop it and head straight to a scout meeting happening at Raye's Temple. When she got there she noticed she was the last to arrive.

"Well, Serena this sure is a change for you to be here before me." Lita said.

"Hmf." Serena began, "Well you see I've decided to turn over a new leaf, you know start being more responsible, taking charge of my life."

"Really?"

"At least for today."

"So who called the meeting and why?" Mina asked.

"I called it today to talk about our dimensional allies." Luna said.

"Dimensional allies?"

"Yes, back on the Moon Kingdom, of course you should remember, the Inter-Dimensional Court."

"Oh, yes I remember how each dimension was faithful to the Moon Kingdom. It was an alliance created by Queen Serenity." Amy recalled.

"Correct Amy. Now I am going to give all of you the ability to transport yourself to what ever Dimension you please using your transformational pens."

"Oh, you mean like we used to be able to do." Raye questioned.

"Yes, but if you remember, the pens only work here on earth or in another dimension. Of you were to try to use them on the Moon or any other planet it would not work."

"Here is what you have to do. Each of you take out your pens."

So all the Scouts complied.

"Grasp it in both hands. And just focus all your energy into the pen."

As the girls focused their energy they noticed their pens began to glow.

"What's happening Luna?" Serena asked.

"Now once you gathered enough energy, point the front of the pen directly in front of you and…."

There it was they had created five portal glowing in front of them.

"These portals you girls have just created her lead to dimensions that you don't know the identity. So in order for you to conform where you would like to go. Before shooting your beam of energy say the place you would like to go. Is this all clear?" Luna said.

"Yes, but why did you give this ability to us Lina?" Amy asked.

"Although we have defeated every foe we have come upon, and right now our world is at peace you can never be to sure when you will need the help of a former ally."

Everyone stuck around after the meeting except for Lita. She just decided to go home and bake something to cheer herself up. With this new found power who knew what she could do. Then an thought entered her mind.

"Possibly, I could travel to the Ronins…..Wait there I go again wishing thoughtless wishes."

But the more she thought about it, the more she realized something. She recalled how her memory about her past had to be refreshed by Luna. I mean sure they knew there were Sailor Scouts at first, but there past they knew little about. Serena didn't even remember she was the Moon Princess to begin with.

So right then Lita made the decision to travel to the Ronin Warriors Dimension. Sure it was a snap decision. To be able to see Kento again, and get to know him all over again, to get a second chance was just too big of a temptation for her.

"Alright, so tomorrow I'll go then. I don't know how long I'll stay. But it's worth a shot."

That night Lita began to get ready for her visit to the Ronins dimension. She gathered all the money she had and packed. No one else knew she was going to do this so decided to leave a note on her door just saying she was going on vacation.

Next morning she was ready to go. So she woke up got ready and gathered her things. She then took her pen. And did as Luna instructed, she gathered all of her energy into the pen, when it began to glow she shot the beam away from her. There in front of her appeared the portal. With not a moment to spare she jumped through.
