"How dare you keep her here? I command you to give her back!"

Metal intertwined with cobalt.

"She is now the queen of the Earth. Your Selene has given her hand in marriage with King Endymion's. There is nothing you can do, little one. I suggest you go back."

The 'little one' flipped her flowing golden hair to keep it out of her eyes. "You bastard, how dare you talk to me like that? I am Lady Minako, the senshi of Venus and a member of Princess Serenity's court of sisters. The Millennial Law states that the princess cannot get married without her Senshis' consent. I demand to see her!"

Kunzite raised an eyebrow. His iced gray eyes crinkled a little. Amused… definitely amused. "Listen, Lady Minako, I do not care who you are…"

Minako's cobalt eyes were glowing, never known for her patience, she drew her sword attacked Kunzite with full force.

Kunzite had not expected the girl to fight so well. He dodged as her sword nearly sliced through him and jumped back as she kicked her slender right leg forward. His eyes, however, marveled at the length and agility of her legs. Using his right hand, he drew his sword and attacked from the left.

She was too fast. Quickly evading his attack, she punched him full force on the stomach and brought down her sword pressing against his neck. "Do you surrender peasant?" she asked, her sunny eyes shining at victory.

Kunzite simply smiled and pulled her sword, a movement that was too quick for Minako to follow. He smiled harder at the shocked girl, as her eyes grew wide. His eyes however, remained steeled. "Lady Minako, did you say," Kunzite said, "I congratulate you on your fighting. Too bad I have to rip your throat out."

"No," Serenity cried breathlessly as she finally made it to Tehran hall. "Minako, you are here. Thank the Goddess."

Kunzite stared at the little princess and then returned to Lady Minako. He looked triumphant as Minako stared at Serenity.

"Where is everyone else?" Serenity asked, "Abene told me friends…"

"Mako is outside talking to this so called King Endymion's other obnoxious peasant-guard."

Kunzite laughed at her use of peasants. "I, Lady Minako, am not a peasant," Kunzite said, "I am a General of the Earthen Army."

"I do not care," Minako said defiantly, "to me, you are a peasant."

Kunzite's amused eyes now turned icy. "I would watch what I was saying if I were you," he said walking up to her. With a movement too quick to follow with ordinary eyes, he drew his sword and slashed her upper arm, tearing the white lace sleeve of the senshi uniform.

Crimson blood dripped out of the wound adulterating the white and gold uniform.

Serenity gasped loudly and stared at Kunzite with a horrified expression.

Minako, however, smiled. "That was good, I didn't even see you."

Kunzite's surprise was genuine. He had expected the Venusian to attack him back, he had not expected the angel to smile. She was beautiful. Her azure eyes were shining, reflecting the golden hair, which was flying around her like an aura.

"Minako," Serenity said confused, "why don't we get Mako now."

Minako looked at Kunzite, "if the General has no problem with it."

Kunzite's metallic eyes crinkled a bit, "I don't."

"Listen you," the deeply resonant Makoto of Jupiter said, "you are challenging the senshi of the Solar-Galaxy."

General Nephrite, who had been busy ogling at her legs, smiled dangerously. "I do not loose to women."

"You bastard…" Mako was about to draw her sword.

"Mako-chan, wait," Serenity cried as she ran down the long silver stairs that led to the first palace gate. "General Zoicite, I expect you to show some respect to my friends, and Mako-chan, I expect you to show some respect to the Earthen Generals."

Nephrite smiled. "I'm Nephrite, not Zoicite," he said without his title, "Your friends, princess, are not the most civil diplomats in the galaxy."

Mako glared. "Serenity, what is this about you getting married? What the hell is going on?"

Serenity was at a loss of words. She couldn't bring herself to accuse her only mother.

"Serenity is married to me. She is my wife in Millennial law."

Mako whirled around to see the King himself standing next to her. There was something pompous in his eyes, suddenly Mako wanted nothing more than to rip those arrogantly smirking lips out of his face. However, judging Serenity's nervous expression, she refrained form doing so. "The Millennial law states that the Princess has to have approval of her Senshi to get married," Mako informed him, "this marriage is illegal, therefore void."

Kunzite, who had followed Minako and Serenity smiled at the other senshi, baring his teeth slightly. "That is for the Millennial Court to decide, not you. And it was Selene who gave Serenity to Endymion. The court will see it as an exception."

"So he was right," Minako said in deep thought. Her usually sunny eyes were constricted.

Kunzite's attention shifted to the blonde. "Who was right?" he asked.

Minako stared at Kunzite for some moment. "Damian, King Damian of Nemesis told us that Selene forced Serenity to who-, get married to the Earth King." She cursed herself inwardly for nearly saying that Selene had forced Serenity to whore for her.

Nephrite sighed, "King Damian, the king of the gossips."

Mako frowned, "this is serious, you bastard, it was Damian that was supposed to marry Serenity not Endymion. It was decided on the seventh lunar moon."

Serenity was alarmed. She had never heard of that. "WHAT?" she squealed, "What do you mean decided? You had arranged my marriage without my consent."

Minako glared at Mako before reaching out to Serenity. She sighed as her friend didn't accept her embrace. "It would only be with your consent. We thought a treaty between Nemesis and the Moon would be powerful and profitable…"

"Profit and Power." Serenity voice shook, "that's all you people care about. Which side gets the Ginzuishou and which side gets the trade benefits."

"What about the Ginzuishou?"

Endymion squinted his eyes upon hearing that voice. What in the hell was Damian doing here! Moreover, how the hell had he surpassed the palace security? He turned his blazing eyes to glare full forced at the White King who was defiantly smirking at him from the base of the silver stairs. Endymion's eyes burned faster, he would fire every damned palace guard and put in military commanders on the palace walls.

Serenity saw Damian ascending the stairs, the space around him filled with a silver aura that matched with the color of the stairs. The color of his eyes was very much like hers. She smiled with no emotion, "did you know?" she asked, "did you know about the engagement on the tenth moon?" she asked.

Damian's face turned to a mask of surprise and confusion. His frosty blue eyes grew wide and his perfect lips formed a small 'o'. "What engagement?" he asked, "whose engagement?"

Serenity sighed with relief. Her naivety was enough to make Endymion choke with disdain. "Damian, why didn't you come?" she asked softly. "I teleported my Ginzuishou signals but you never listened." A solitary tear slipped down her cheek and fell on the silver stairs, disappearing upon reaching the surface.

Damian's perfect face clouded with anger. His icy eyes grew frostier and his lips thinned. "It must have been Emerede," he said, "that god damned bitch. I'll have her punished for this."

Serenity was too distressed to mind what Damian was saying. If only Damian had received the Ginzuishou signals than she would not be married to King Endymion. Damian might have been able to save her…

Endymion had been watching Damian and Serenity intensely. There was something about those two. Almost as if, they shared a chemical and physical bond. He felt sudden hot surges of jealousy coursing through his spine. The way her eyes shined when she looked at him, and the way his eyes reflected her shine made him angrier. Well, Endymion would be damned if he let Damian anywhere near his wife. She was his property, his possession. Like any other male, Endymion would not let another man touch anything that was his.

Smiling with his lips, but not with his eyes, Endymion stepped between Serenity and Damian. "You are going to have to end this wonderful conversation, we are going to Kinmoku for negotiations."

Kunzite raised a terse eyebrow, he knew Endymion was going to Kinmoku for negotiations, but he didn't know Endymion wanted to take Serenity. His eyes narrowed. Why did Endymion care to take her? The last thing Kunzite needed was for Endymion to get distracted by a woman. His plans would backfire if Endymion started acting like an idiotic jealous husband. Jealousy, according to Kunzite, was the worst possible weakness a man could possess, especially if the jealousy was over a woman.

Damian cursed Endymion. He could not go anywhere near Kinmoku. The ancient Nemesian Royal family had conquered so much of other galaxies that the sun god Helios had cursed them so they could not leave the Solar-Galaxy. Damian, like the rest of the present royal family was bound to the premises of the Solar-galaxy. "Mark my words, Endymion: you may have the Ginzuishou, but I will have Serenity." Saying that, he teleported out of the Crysthilia. Serenity watched as the silver-blue light around his image vanished.

Damian's absence left a deafening silence that caused Serenity to be even more uneasy. She did not know much about her husband, but the expression on his face said enough for her. His indigo eyes were burning into hers and his ebony hair was flying. His image did not look as dramatic and beautiful as Damian's, but instead, it looked frightening. The tightly stretched smile on his face could scare any child.

Minako spoke, breaking the silence. "King Endymion, you are not taking Serenity anywhere until we have spoken to the Millennial Court."

Endymion did not even bother answering her. Instead, he looked at Kunzite to do the explaining. He grabbed Serenity with one hand and simply walked up the stairs, into the main entrance to Tehran hall.

Kunzite looked at Endymion and then back to the Venusian. "The negotiations with Kinmoku are very important, we can talk to the court after the trip."

Makoto walked up to the silver haired man. "You are joking, right? You expect us to walk out of here when our Princess is tied in an illegal marriage?"

Nephrite sighed, "Fine, why don't you go with Endymion to Kinmoku if you're so concerned about your little friend."

Minako immediately glared at Kunzite; she did not like being defeated. "We cannot," she said, "but the senshi of Mars and the senshi of Mercury can."

Kunzite smiled at her glare. "What will you be doing, Lady Minako?" he asked.

"I," she replied smiling slightly, "will be here on earth, making sure that the senior council is informed that this marriage may not be legal."

Kunzite's smile disappeared; he nodded in her direction. "We'll see about that, Mina."

"Endymion," Serenity squealed, "let me go, please." Her cerulean eyes widened in horror as he smiled wildly at her.

Endymion held on to her hand tighter as he dragged her to her room. Once they were inside, he thrust her against the wall and placed his face inches from hers. His indigo eyes were blazing with anger. "You listen to me little princess," he whispered, drawing closer every second. "I don't care what your relationship with Damian was before our marriage; I don't want you to go near him; I don't want you to look at him; I don't want you to even *think* about him. Is that clear?"

Serenity's eyes were wide. Her breath came out in little gasps as Endymion drew closer to her. She shook slightly as his mouth hovered over hers. She closed her eyes tightly shut.

"I said, IS THAT CLEAR!" Endymion thundered.

Serenity nodded her head hurriedly and kept her eyes shut.

"Good," Endymion said softly lowering his mouth to hers. He kissed her hard.
