The Hospital
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daemon sat on a chair next to Usagi's bed. He was dizzy from giving all
that blood, but he didn't want to leave her yet, not until he knew for sure
that she was all right. Usagi slowly began to open her eyes.
"Where am I?" she asked softly. Daemon jolted up.
"You're finally awake Princess. We are at the hospital. You're in
bad shape, the doctors said you will have to stay here for at
least a week and a half," said Daemon.
"Where are they senshi?" asked a worried Serena.
"Don't worry, they're here. They can all leave tomorrow," answered
Daemon. He laughed a little, "It took ten nurses to stop your friend Rei
from coming to see you!"
Usagi laughed a little then sighed with relief. Then she started to
tense up again as she realized something, "Why didn't Mamoru come and help
us?" Daemon frowned.
"Princess you must be careful. He will try to kill you. His hatred
shall surpass his love for you. You must be cautious around him and not
let him know that you have regained your memories. If he finds out he
shall try even harder to kill you."
"I understand this," said Usagi, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"It's just so hard, I love him. I can't let that feeling go."
"I know it's hard..." began Daemon but he was interrupted by Usagi.
"How could you possibly understand!" she cried, tears running down her
cheeks.
"I understand better than you will ever know!" shouted Daemon. "I love
you, I always have, but you chose Endymion. I have had to live with that
for centuries. It is impossible to let that feeling go."
Usagi was shocked. 'He really does love me!' she thought. Back in the
silver millennium she knew he loved her, he had even courted her, but she
never imagined he loved her this much. To never forget her over the
centuries, to never find someone else.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"Me too," he said. "I really should be going, my generals will be
worried about me." He headed towards the door.
"Wait!" exclaimed Usagi. "How will I find you again?"
Daemon stopped in the door way. Without turning around he said,
"I'm at the green hill apartments, third floor, room number 147."
Than he walked out. Usagi laid back down, 'Makoto lives in those apartments
on the third floor!' she thought. Just than the doctor came in.
"Your finally awake," the Doctor said. "You're very lucky to be alive.
If not for that young man you might not be here."
"Daemon?! What do you mean?" asked Usagi puzzled.
"Yes, that's him. You lost a lot of blood and we didn't have enough.
He had the same blood type so he gave you some of his own. You should be
very thankful."
"I am," whispered Usagi. "I am." The doctor quickly checked her over
to make sure everything was still in order than left.
Usagi looked down at the iv in her arm. 'He truly loves me,' she
thought. 'So much blood! He must be dizzy!' Usagi buried her face in
her pillow, what was she to do? She realized she did care for Daemon,
but what about Mamoru? 'Will he really try to kill me?' she thought.
"Oh mother, father, what am I to do?" she whispered as she cried. "What am
I to do?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Apartment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daemon finally made it to the apartments. He opened the door and found,
as he expected, all three of his generals and friends.
"So how did it go?" asked Stephen.
"She was in bad shape, nearly fainted when she detransformed. Got her
to the hospital just in time. She'll be out in about a week and a half,"
answered Daemon. They all knew of his cursed love for the beloved moon
princess. Back in the silver millennium they had all been good friends.
Some of them even had loves of their own. They called Daemon's love a
curse because he loved the Princess so much, but she had another Prince,
Prince Endymion. Daemon never fell in love with anyone else.
"What happened?" asked Jason pointing the bandage on Daemon's arm where
they had taken the blood. Daemon sat down in a chair, still dizzy from
giving all that blood.
"The Princess lost a lot of blood. The hospital didn't have enough and
we are the same type," explained Daemon.
"But you hate needles! It's your one weakness," exclaimed Calvin.
"What was I to do, just let her die?!" Shouted Daemon. "I'm sorry.
I'm just not feeling will after giving all that blood."
"We understand," said Jason. "We'll let you get some rest."
With that Calvin and Jason went downstairs to their own two bedroom
apartment.
"You know he's wrong. That's not your only weakness," said Stephen
handing Daemon a glass of juice. "Your greatest weakness is the Moon
Princess." Daemon and Stephen had grown up together, they are best friends.
Always have been, even back in the silver millennium. They shared
everything with each other, no secrets, like brothers.
"Yes I know. She's still as beautiful as I remember," replied Daemon.
"Yes and still taken. You have to remember that, she still loves him,"
reminded Stephen.
"And he is still trying to kill her. Endymion's father is back, you can
be sure that the two have joined up by now. If not than Endymion would
have been at that battle," said Daemon.
"Yes, we will have to keep a close eye on her, make sure that he doesn't
try to kill her any time soon," replied Stephen.
Stephen noticed his friend flinch when his wounded arm brushed up against
the chair where the back and armrest met.
"What happened to your arm?" asked Stephen.
"Nothing, just a wound from our battle with the ogre," said Daemon,
brushing it aside as nothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ryos laughed evil while placing what looked like a misty crystal ball on
the table. Demoness came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his
waist. "What's so funny lover?" she asked. Ryos turned around and kissed
her. "The youma I had Chaos make just sucked the powerful energy out of
the senshi and the Princess. Best of all Prince Dracon showed up with
his generals and the ogre managed to slice Dracon's arm with a poisoned
dagger. It's incredibly slow, but deadly and untraceable. The fools will
never know what hit him!" explained Ryos.
"Well that's one problem dealt with," laughed Demoness.
"Did you find the Prince?" asked Ryos.
"Yes, he's already spoken with the king. He has regained all of his
memories from the past and is going to help us with our mission to wipe
out the moon family once and for all," replied Demoness.
"Let's go for a walk," said Demoness.
"Anything you want angel," he replied.
Together the two took a walk in the old rose garden, hand in hand. This
was the very rose garden that Prince Endymion's mother and Princess
Serenity's father were murdered in, for this place, the same that Queen
Beryl herself once used, was indeed the old Palace of earth where Aethus
ruled and where the Prince grew up.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Shrine
~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day all the scouts were at Rei's temple, except for Usagi who
was still in the hospital for another five days. Rei had pretty much
healed, only a few scars, Ami had a bandage over her cut arm. Makoto showed
up with a pink cast on her broken wrist. Minako had crutches, her burned
ankle wrapped up nicely in bandages.
"We still have to figure out who sent that disgusting ogre and why,"
said Minako.
"Remember that ogre kept talking about this king and his son, he said
they wanted to eliminate the moon family," reminded Ami.
"Who could this Earth King be?" Poundered Luna (Artemis and herself had not
been in the battle).
"The Earth king of the Silver Millennium died ages ago. So that leaves
Darien but he doesn't have a son and he would never willingly betray
Usagi."
"Luna, are you sure he's dead?" Asked Rei.
"Well," said Luna, a sweat drop on her head. "Umm..."
Artemis quickly continued seeing Luna didn't know what to say. "We never
actually knew or heard of his death for the moon kingdom fell before his
death. Since that was over a thousand years ago we assume he must be
dead."
"But you have no way of knowing for sure?" pressed Rei.
"Well... no..." said Luna.
"Rei what are you getting at?" asked Makoto.
Rei quickly told them what Usagi had told her about the flash backs,
of her fathers death and seeing Prince Endymions mother killed, seeing
him swear to get revenge by killing her, and finally how Soltars whole
death was planed by King Aethus. Luna and the others were shocked.
"I never would have guessed it," said a very shocked Luna. "And all this
time she never said a word about that part of the flashbacks..."
"It's all right Luna," said a concerned Artemis. "There was no way anyone
could have known."
"What about this other suitor... Dracon?" asked Ami.
"Will he was a Prince from one of the suns moons..." began Artemis.
"The sun has a moon?" Asked a confused Minako.
"Yes, three. They are hidden by the suns bright rays so you can't see
them," explained Luna.
"Anyway he truly loved Usagi with all his heart, he was heartbroken when
Queen Serenity choose Endymion, but he accepted it. You see a alliance
was already formed with the sun and its moons back when Soltar married
Queen Serenity. However there was no alliance between the moon and the
earth, that alliance was greatly needed. The only way to get it was through
the marriage," continued Artemis. "If the conditions were otherwise Queen
Serenity would probably have chosen Dracon."
"Wow, the poor guy," said Makoto.
"Guys maybe it is King Aethus," said Rei. "Maybe he didn't die after all.
And as you have noticed Darien wasn't at that last fight. He is always
there!"
"What are you getting at Rei?" asked Minako.
"What I'm trying to say is that King Aethus is back. Mamoru has probably
gained all his memories back and his old hatred. They may try to kill
Usagi. We need to keep close watch on her and make sure she's never
alone with him until we know for sure he's back on the good side," stated
Rei.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makoto stood outside her apartment door, a bag of groceries in her good arm,
her key in the hand with the cast. "Stupid key!" She grunted in
frustration as she attempted to unlock the door with a broken wrist while
holding the bag of groceries.
"Let me help you," said a male voice from behind her. He had sleek black
hair and deep emerald eyes. He was about eight inches taller then Lita.
'He doesn't look anything like my old boyfriend! He makes Freddie look
worse than that ogre!' she thought.He took the key and opened the door than
gave it back to her.
"Thank you," she managed to say, still in awe at his beauty. He started
to walk back down the hall.
"WAIT!" shouted Makoto. He stopped and turned around to face her.
"Won't you please come in and have some tea? As a show of thanks?" She
asked.
"No, I couldn't..." he began but Makoto interrupted him.
"Please, it's alright, really."
He eventually said yes after some pleading from Makoto. Makoto motioned for
him to sit down at the kitchen table. She quickly fixed the tea, even with
a broken wrist couldn't stop her in the kitchen!
"My name is Makoto," she said.
'So that's the name of the beautiful Sailor Jupiter,' thought Stephen.
"I'm Stephen. Nice place, so I guess your parents are at work?" he said
trying to make conversation.
"No..." Makoto said sadly. "They died in a plane crash a while back.
I've been living on my own since."
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Don't be. It's alright, really. It happened a long time ago," assured
Makoto. "So I haven't seen you around before."
"Yeah, I just moved here with a couple of my friends from America. My
apartment is just a little ways down the hall."
"Really, America? I've never been outside Japan myself. Well actually
I did take a trip up north once," she said thinking about the battle with
Beryl in the North pole.
"Yeah, it's a nice place," he said. They began talking on and on, it
seems they had a lot in common.
