*~*~*Chapter 5*~*~*
It had been two weeks since the dream and everything. She finally noticed, that Ken was, well, acting different. It was late, and the sun was setting. She walked out onto the balcony over looking the gardens. There was a hand on her shoulder that made her turn around quickly.
"Did I frighten you?" asked Ken looking at her strangely.
"Um, no." said Makoto. Her eyes looked back over as they sun went down in the sky. A moon took it's place. A hand came around her waist slowly. She turned to look at Ken. His other hand cupped her chin gently as she could see him getting closer to her. His lips met hers gently. She felt his arm around her waist bring her up closer to him. Her hand gently went over his hand and her arm went around his neck. She kissed him back gently. He ended it and looked down at her. She ran her fingers threw his brown hair that suddenly looked black to her. She shrugged it off until, she saw red eyes looking at her. She jerked back from him all of a sudden. Her eyes closed and then she opened them to see Ken there looking confused.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Ken studying her face. She let out a sigh and looked at him.
"I'm just tired." said Makoto with a hand to her head. He walked her to her room where he gave her a kiss gently and then she went into her room.....
Ken walked into a room where his eyes turn red, and he turned into himself Damion. Ken was chained to a wall in Damions' castle in a room. He walked over to Ken and smiled a big grin.
"You know, that Princess is not only beautiful but, a great kisser. Too bad you weren't there to recieve it yourself. It seems that she has a thing for you." said Damion raising an eye brow.
"You damn bastard! Don't you ever touch me again or I'll!" started Ken.
"Or you'll what?" asked Damion.
"Make you wish you were never born." said Ken. Damion laughed just laughed.
"Yeah, right!" said Damion and then walked away. He left to the planning room where he reviewed over his plans once more. Then he walked back into the room where Ken was held.
"What do you want?" asked Ken glaring at him.
"I'm going to let you see her for one last time. If you say anything about you being here, I'm going to kill her, do you understand?" asked Damion.
"Yes." said Ken. He disappeared and then reappeared in his room. He quickly went over and looked around. He heard a door close. He heard steps going down the hall quietly, and then they silently passed away. He turned off his light and then went out of his room quietly. He saw that it was Makoto. She left the balcony door open. He went out it and then stood right beside her. His hand gently went over hers. She turned her head up to look at him.
"What are you doing up this late?" she whispered.
"I couldn't sleep." he said softly. She moved over and hugged him resting her head gently on his chest.
"Promise me that you'll never leave me Ken. I don't want to loose you." she said looking up at him. He got this worried look on his face and just hugged her.
'He's going to leave. I knew that this was too good to be true.' she thought as her fingers gently held onto his shirt. She felt him kiss her head while his embrace tightened. She soon after, went back to her room leaving him there. He just thought and then went back to his room.
...Morning...
"Makoto! Makoto! Hurry up and get up! You have to get ready or else you're going to be late!" said Minako shaking her by her shoulders and then dumping water on her. She quickly sat up.
"Late for what!?!?" asked Makoto looking at her.
"My wedding!" shouted Minako.
"You're getting married!!! So soon?" asked Makoto jumping up.
"It's been only three weeks." said Minako.
"Yeah! That's a short time to know someone!" said Makoto.
"Just get up, get ready, and then meet me outside in the garden so we can talk." said Minako. She was in her beautiful white wedding dress and everything.
....4 hours later....
"You wanted to talk?" asked Makoto looking at Minako.
"So, how was it?" asked Minako.
"How was what?" asked Makoto.
"You know! The kiss!" said Minako.
"You were spying on me?!?" asked Makoto.
"Well, what are friends for?" asked Minako.
"Minako, I don't think he's the one for me." said Makoto sitting down.
"What do you mean?" asked Minako sitting beside her.
"I...I...I found this...letter. It...It was on my desk." said Makoto pulling it out.
"Did you read it?" asked Minako.
"No." said Makoto with disappointment in her eyes. Her hand held it out to her.
"You want me to read it for you?" asked Minako. She nodded. Minako opened the letter and then started to read it.
Dear Makoto,
I love you and, I never got the chance to tell it to you.
Minako smiled while Makoto was watching her face expression. She went back to read the rest of the letter.
The reason why I did not promise to you last night was, because your Kingdom is in danger. A man named Damion was the one with you for those past two weeks. He let me come back last night where I heard you come out of your room. That's why I hugged you so much. I didn't want to let go.
This man, Damion, is dangerous. You have to watch out. He is going to try and kill you if you find out that, that I am not with you any longer. By noon, I'll be gone. Do not say or let him know that you know. He will kill you but, I don't believe he will. He wants to take over the Kingdom and with doing that, he has to marry you.
Makoto, try to protector yourself before it's too late. I don't want you to leave me. Please. Make a promise to yourself that you'll be alright. Please.
Sincerely Yours,
Knight Kenneth Shino
Minako let the letter fall out of her hands with a shocked look on her face. Makoto just looked away. Minako got a hold of herself and looked at her watch. Eleven fourty. They had enought time to have Makoto say good-bye to Ken. She picked up the letter and made her read it quickly. Then Minako grabbed her and ran with her. She found Ken and Eric but, wanted to keep the tradition of not letting the groom see the bride. She quickly pushed Makoto out. The letter was in her hand and Ken looked up at her with sorrow in his eyes. He walked over to her. She put the letter away.
"Makoto. We only have five minutes." said Ken. She grabbed him by the tie and slowly pulled him down to her level.
"That's enough time." said Makoto with a smile. She held onto him by the tie and slowly got closer. His hands went around her waist gently bringing her closer up to him.
"I love you too Ken." she whispered and then kissed him...
.....Mean while, In the castle.....
"Understand what I'm saying. Your daughter is going to be my wife." said Damion.
"No! You just get out of here." said Queen Jupiter throwing something at him that broke against the wall.
"I see everything. I'm every where. Now, don't say a word about anything to her or else." said Damion and then left. He walked down the hall.
"Sir, there is going to be a wedding at noon for Princess Minako and Knight Eric." said a guard.
"I'll be there." said Damion with a smirk. He stopped and looked at his watch. Two minutes left. He sighed and then walked out the door and disappeared...
"I think it's time we tell her." said King Jupiter.
"I think so as well." said Queen Jupiter. She quickly walked out into the gardens to see the two, her hand holding his tie. She moved aside and walked in another direction and then stopped there. Eric just stood with his jaw open in complet shock of what just happened. She finally let him go. He looked at his watch. It just turned twelve noon.
"Bye." he whispered and then walked away from her to where he went into the castle and disappeared. Makoto turned to see Eric just still froze in shock. Minako poked her head out and wrinkled her nose.
"Eric! Don't you have any manners? You're not suppose to stare!" said Minako. A sideways smile came and then he fell back. Minako rolled her eyes. Minako and Makoto managed to lay him on a bench so, not to get his suit dirty. They then quickly left.
"Makoto. May I talk to you for a moment?" asked Queen Jupiter looking at her. She smiled.
"Yes mother." she said and then walked away with her. She was quickly brought to into a room where Queen Jupiter closed it behind her tightly. She went over and picked up a brouch in the shape of a gold heart. It had the sign of jupiter in the middle of it. She had Makoto pick it up.
"This will keep you out of danger. It has the heart crystal of Jupiter in it to protect you. Don't let anyone get this." said Queen Jupiter. She nodded her head and smiled.....
