The Story of
Luna
Chapter 2,
During Which Luna Meets A Cat and his Senshi
A young, giddy cat stepped on the cool marble walkway. Her paws made a padding sound as she trotted down the walkway and through the open doors to the palace. The beautiful moon palace. Luna yearned to have a title as a senshi's guardian. She paused briefly to clean her paws. Then she looked up. Her eyes grew wide and sparkled at her bright crystal surroundings. So this is what the palace is like." She though, eyes gleaming all the while. She smiled happily. Then, she saw her, at the other side of the room, walking with a book in her hands, looking very content. Her shoulder length blue hair bouncing slightly as she slowly walked in her silk blue dress-a senshi! A princess! A member of the royal court!
That was who Luna was looking for! The senshi looked very intelligent, she could tell Luna where to sign up and try out for guardian! Luna began to run towards her. Then she saw something in the corner of her eye.
Something white, about her height, coming towards her. "What the…?" she began, then…she found herself lying on her side on the floor. She was bruised, & her coat was a bit dirty and messed up. And the senshi was gone now. "Damn!" she thought. The white "thing" began to get up beside her. Luna was extremely mad. She just started yelling without thinking- "HOW DARE YOU! I can't believe you! NOBODY goes that fast in the palace! You should have looked where you were running!!!! It's rude to push a person down!!!!! Now how will ever make it in time to get that job?! Who are you, anyway?!" She breathed heavily and winced. Her left paw hurt when she tried to put her weight on it. "Ouch." She muttered.
"Whoa," Began the white creature.
It was males voice…the voice of a male cat! A royal cat! She stared at the golden crescent on his completely white forehead. "Shoot," she thought, "Just what I need, running into a royal guardian!"
"Chill, babe!" said the white cat coolly, "I didn't mean to startle you…" He looked up and stared at Luna, noticing for the first time she was a cat. He suddenly had a dazed look on his face, and then he smiled and let out a small purr.
"What's new pussycat?" he asked casually, circling Luna. Luna just sighed.
"I really must be going now." She replied.
"Oh, you're going to try out for a job as guardian? Well, unfortunately, It seems that I took the last opening for that job! They tryouts end in about 5 minutes. You wouldn't make it in time anyway, plus all the senshi now have guardians, or they don't want one. "
Luna could easily tell he was new. He was very immature and talked to proudly, in an arrogant way. He thought he was real cool, but he was just an annoying pain in the butt. She was a little upset about the job, and looked down towards the marble floor in deep thought.
"However," the white cat started, "Maybe I could help you." He grinned. "We could…talk it over dinner." He suggested.
Oh, he wanted a date, did he? "No thank you," she replied quickly, then added, "What's your name?"
He looked a little disappointed at her turning his date offer down, but proudly spoke: "Artemis, protector, guardian, and advisor to Goddess -"
"Artemis?!" she said, cutting him off. "Isn't that a, um, girl's name?"
"What do you mean by that?!" Artemis said, shocked and offended.
"Well," Luna began, "Artemis was the goddess of the moon, that's all. Sorry."
Artemis was a tad offended, but couldn't stop staring at the beautiful cat in front of him. He finished: "of Love and Beauty, Sailor Venus!"
Suddenly, a cheerful, sweet, melodic voice rang out from down the hall.
"Artemis! Where are you?! We have an important meet to go to! As my guardian, you should be there! Helloooo? ARTEMIS!!!!!"
Then a long blond haired princess in a silk yellow gown and a red bow in her hair approached them.
"Oh! I didn't know…" Minako said slowly, as she looked at the scene. Artemis coughed.
"That you had a GIRLFRIEND!" she said joyfully before giggling. "How sweet!"
"*cough* This is Luna, my friend." He said.
Oh, Minako thought, he doesn't want to talk about it know…but perhaps later…I'll confront him about this later...when he's alone! ^_^
