Chapter 12 - Sorrow and Battles

Chapter 12 - Sorrow and Battles

Ryo knelt by Usagi's side, wrapping his arms around her crying form. She buried her face in his chest, letting the tears fall freely.

"Ryo-chan, I'm afraid, Takao's a monster, he did the most horrible things on the Moon Kingdom." She whispered, her shoulders heaving as the sobs raked through her small body.

"How touching." Came a familiar cold voice. Ryo glanced over his shoulder, seeing a smirking Prince Endymion floating toward them. He looked at the other warriors and they shook their heads, quickly transforming into their demi-armor.

"Ryo-chan!" Usagi yelled, seeing black roses heading straight for him. She pushed him away as the roses flew toward them, a few of the roses grazed Usagi's arms as she was barely able to dodge the deadly flower. "Armor of Purity, tao jin!!" Usagi shouted, transforming into her armor of purity, her staff appearing in her hand.

"Armor of WildFire, tao jin!!" Ryo shouted as the cherry blossoms surrounded him, forming his armor. The six Ronin Warriors stood ready to fight, scowls on all of their faces.

"Just leave Mamoru." Usagi said coldly, having enough grief in her life already. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Endymion right now, she had a LOT on her mind.

"Gomen Usako, but I have my orders." Endymion said, a smirk on his face.

"Don't you EVER call my Usako again!" Usagi shrieked, feeling anger well up inside.

"I'm not here for you, Usagi, I'm here for them." He said, pointing toward the Ronin Warriors.

"You lay a finger on ANY of them, and I swear to Kami that I'll kill you right now." Usagi said in a threatening tone, all the kindness gone from her face.

"Empty threats…" He commented, a large dark energy blast forming in the palm of his hand. He hurled the attack straight at Ryo, watching in delight as it neared his target at an incredible rate.

"Flare Up NOW!!" Ryo shouted, his attack meeting Endymion's in the middle. The attacks were even for several seconds until Endymion managed to add more power to his attack. Ryo cried out in pain as he was thrown back into a building.

"Ryo!!" Usagi shouted, running to his side. He weakly stood up, standing in front of Usagi. "You'll pay Endymion!!" Usagi shouted, holding her staff ready. The crystal atop the staff began to glow as power began to gather. "White Cosmic RAINSTORM!!!" She shouted, feeling the power shooting from the staff.

"Iron Rock CRUSHER!!"

"Thunder Bolt CUT!!"

"Arrow Shock WAVE!!"

"Wave SMASHER!!"

"Flare Up NOW!!"

The six attacks headed straight for Endymion, who couldn't dodge them all. A shield appeared around him as the six attacks hit. The shield was weakened greatly by this large amount of energy rushing into it.

"Is that all you've got?" Endymion said, a smirk on his face. He raised his hand and sent a blast into the middle of the group, sending everyone in different directions. He set his sight on Ryo as he slowly moved in for the kill. "So, Ryo of WildFire, you're with that little tramp?" Ryo's eyes narrowed on Endymion as he moved closer to Ryo, a blast of dark energy in his palm.

"You're a bastard…" Ryo said in a low voice. The dark force field surrounded Ryo and Mamoru, making Ryo's armor feel as if it were tightening. He cried out in pain as the armor bit into his soft flesh.

"Ryo-chan!!" Usagi shrieked, throwing herself up against the dark dome. She felt the dark energy travel through her armor and cried out in pain as she was thrown back. Kento dropped to her side, forcing her to her feet.

"Ryo!" Kento cried as a symbol began to glow in his forehead. A symbol began to glow on each Ronin Warrior's forehead and a purple crescent moon lit up on Usagi's forehead. She felt as her power began to leave her body and fell limp in Kento's arms. Their powers flew toward Ryo, forming the Armor of Inferno.

"Nande kuso?!?" Endymion demanded, seeing Ryo's red armor turn into white armor.

"What is that?" Usagi asked weakly, leaning heavily against Kento.

"That's the Armor of Inferno," Kento said simply, watching the fight. "Can you stand?"

"I… I don't know… I'm so tired…" She said as her eyes started to close. He gently laid her down on the ground, preparing to use his attack.

"Rage of Inferno!!" Ryo yelled, sending the powerful attack at Endymion.

"Iron Rock CRUSHER!!"

"Arrow Shock WAVE!!"

"Thunder Bolt CUT!!"

"Wave SMASHER!!"

Usagi forced her eyes open as she heard the yells of her friends. She slowly forced herself to her feet, holding the staff in front of her.

"White Cosmic RAINSTORM!!" She cried, sending her attack with all the others. The attacks all hit Endymion, his shield shattering as the energy hit him. Usagi heard his cry of pain as the attacks hit him. When the smoke cleared, the only thing left of Endymion was a charred rose that crumbled as Usagi touched the burnt petals. She walked to Ryo, leaning against his chest as she transformed out of her armor. She vaguely felt him pick her up, putting one arm under her knees and the other behind her back.

"Are you all right Usa-chan?" He asked as he walked toward the house. Usagi's eyes opened and she smiled warmly up at Ryo, kissing him lightly on the lips. She shook her head, still smiling.

"I love you Ryo-kun." She whispered as she laid her head against his chest.

It was a few minutes later that Ryo walked into his room, pulling back the covers of his bed and gently laid her down, tucking the blankets tightly around her. He leaned down, letting his lips brush gently against hers. He turned to leave but felt her hand on his wrist.

"Don't leave.." She whispered, wide awake and smiling at him. He turned and sat on the edge of the bed as she reached up, brushing the hair from his eyes. She pulled him down toward him, kissing him passionately on the lips. She felt his arms wrap around her waist and his weight shift on top of her as the kiss continued.

Okay, that's the end of this chapter. I'm going to attempt a lemon for this one, just to see if I can do it. I've never really tried one before, if it doesn't sound good, I'll probably ask Tora-chan to write it cuz she's REALLY good at it. Anyway, it'll be under NC 17 so you don't have to read it of course. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I spoil you ppl, two chapters in one day. Oh, and don't forget to review k? Or email me at pokahydee@hotmail.com
