The Price of a Queen
Chapter 8a
Unprotected Princess
Author's Note: Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't get this chapter up sooner...I just got a new job so I've been rather busy. I also have 8+ websites I'm the webmistress of and I try to give them some attention every now and again, speaking of which: a)I will be updating my Sailor Moon site soon, *laughs weakly* I hope b)If you have a website with Anime Alternative Pairings please think about joining my Webring...http://aapr.iscool.net for details.
Also BAD NEWS..=( In the previous chapter I said that once this chapter (ch8) was finished I would have the next couple chapter out really quick since I had them on cd, turns out when I tried to open the files they were all corrupt so I have to re-type and spoof-up those chapters I promised. *sighs* sorry about that...
But Remember: THE MORE REVIEWS I GET THE MORE MOTIVATED I AM TO WRITE MORE CHAPTERS...=)

Ami paced the cell in which they were being held. Mina and Makoto were now healthy. Makoto's leg was still broken and Mina's rib was still broken but otherwise they were better than before. The cats were frustrated for the prison also being designed for them in mind. There wasn't enough space for them to fit past the bars. A chuckle stopped Ami's pacing and Rubius stood at the door of the prison with Mars in his arms. He opened the door and tosses Mars in. Ami rushes to Mars' side and Rei comes to. Aside from being groggy and sore she was alright. Rubius locked the door to the prison and stepped back. He laughed once more.
"Now who is going to save you now?" Makato sat up,
"Sailor Moon will." Rubius let out a loud laugh,
"Really? Sorry to crush your hope but Sailor Moon is going to be captured just like you all were. Remember she's all alone now. She can't handle the four sisters, Prince Endymion, Black Lady and myself. Once she's captured you all will be happy you are just being held prisoner."
"What are you going to do to her?" Mars called as Ami helped her sit up.
"I'm not going to do anything to her, well at least nothing serious. It's Demando she has to look out for."
"No, he wouldn't hurt her." Ami called.
"And that's her problem. Demando is a fool thinking he can try to win Sailor Moon's love just like that." Rubius snapped his fingers. "He's going to have to FORCE her to love him." All the senshi paled. They thought that Demando would just capture Sailor Moon and see if she could love him. If not, then he would let her go, or maybe try to kill her if he had no other option. None of them thought that he would force Usagi to love him. They all became somber thinking of way Demando might try to force Usagi to love him. Rubius flashed a snug smile and walked out of the dungeon. He enjoyed horrifying the senshi.
Usagi walked back to her house. It was late and she hoped her parents wouldn't be up waiting for her. She quietly entered her house and trudged up to her room. She lay on her bed. She rolled over and retrieved the dagger from her night table.
"For the Princess" Usagi muttered the inscription. 'Who is this man and how does her know that I'm the princess?' She thought. Usagi held the dagger in her hand for a while then finally settled it on her night table once more and went to sleep.
"Rubius!" Demando called from the throne room. Rubius muttered under his breath and entered.
"Yes Demando?" Demando turned to face Rubius. Demando noticed the lace of respect in his voice along with the use of his name without the honourific.
"You captured Sailor Mars, correct?"
"Yes"
"And you have recovered from the attack of Sailor Moon's scepter?" Rubius' eyes narrowed.
"Yes." He stated plainly thought clenched teeth. Demando relished that Sailor Moon got a good hit in on Rubius. Demando never liked Rubius and he knew the dislike was two-sided. The only reason Demando kept Rubius alive was that Rubius was the most powerful warrior he had at the moment. Once his plan was complete Rubius would meet an untimely end, again.
"Excellent. I have your last, sorry next mission." Rubius took a sharp intake of air. 'Your last mission? Demando plans to kill me now.'
"What is it?"
"Take Black Lady and Prince Endymion with you and retrieve Sailor Moon. Make sure she isn't harmed too much. I want her alive Rubius. And that doesn't mean like Venus was." Rubius stiffly bowed,
"Yes Demando." Then left the room to locate Black Lady and Endymion.
The next morning Usagi woke late and crawled out of bed. She washed and dressed. She went downstairs and made herself some food. Returning to her room, Usagi wondered what she should do. Should she wait for them to come and try to capture her? Or should she seek them out? Or maybe try and find the mysterious man? Usagi sat on her bed. She picked up her letter writing pad and wrote a letter to her parents explaining that she has some very important business to attend to and she will be away from home for a time. She didn't know when she would return. She just knew she would.
"At least I hope I do." Usagi sighed and left the note where her parents would find it. She gathered some of her belongings and left her house. Usagi decided she needed a place to stay and figured that Makato's house was the best choice since she lived alone. Usagi walked towards Makato's house. While lost in thought she accidentally shouldered someone walking the other way on the sidewalk.
"Sorry."
"Not a problem." Said the man she bumped into. Usagi glanced up at the man and smiled. The man was young, maybe the same age as Mamoru, and was just as handsome. Usagi blushed and scolded herself for thinking such things. But this man looked a lot like Mamoru. Especially the eyes. The man laughed,
"Just pay more attention next time M'Lady." The man ran a hand though his golden hair, smiled at Usagi and walked away. Usagi stood rooted in the spot for a moment. Something seemed familiar about that man. Usagi shrugged it off and walked up to Makato's house. She found the spare key and entered the house. Usagi rested up some more and ate some more. She tried to think of plan but was having little luck. She didn't know where to find the Black Moon Citadel, but she didn't want to have to face Rubius and whomever he brought with him to capture her, in order to find a way to the Citadel. Usagi also didn't have any idea on how to contact that mysterious man. He appeared like Tuxedo Kamen always did. Just at the right moment. A knock at the door disturbed her thoughts. Usagi pushed herself off the couch and opened the door.
"Good Evening Usagi." Prince Endymion smiled.
"Moon Crytal Power-Make up!" Usagi transformed to Sailor Moon in an instant. Endymion raised his hands,
"Usagi, calm down I'm not here to hurt you." Sailor Moon was taken aback.
"What?" Endymion stepped up to Sailor Moon.
"I just wish to talk with you, Odango." Sailor Moon stepped back. 'Odango? That's what Mamoru calls me.' "Come Usagi, please let us talk." Endymion motioned for Sailor Moon to follow him out to the street. The street lights where lit since the evening had come. Endymion closed the distance between himself and Sailor Moon.
"Die Sailor Moon." He raised his sword shoving Sailor Moon off her feet. Sailor Moon fell to the ground. She winced with her arms over her head waiting for the blow to come.
"Ahhh!" Endymion screamed and backed off with a golden arrow in his right shoulder. Sailor Moon opened her eyes and saw Endymion staggering back. A pair of strong arms wrapped around Sailor Moon and raised her off the ground and away from Endymion. Once she touched the ground once more Sailor Moon turned to thank her saviour. It was the mysterious man from before. But he looked familiar, he was the man she bumped into earlier.

Please keep reading and reviewing.
