First off, thank you for the reviews, it was very kind of you to take the time to do so. Now, for those who commented on the interesting plot... I think in that respect, I'm going to let you guys down, Gomen. Also, to SailorGundam: I agree that Mamoru is a bit out of character, but I blame it on the Spanish soaps that I had been watching at the time I wrote it ^_^ Anyways, enjoy! -Aidenn Legacy
Konan Palace
"Your highness."
Hotohori, forced his gaze away from the fading figures of Miaka and Nuriko, and faced his advisors. A light smile graced his face, as Nuriko's rather loud warnings reach his ears, He prayed for Miaka to return without any Nuriko inflicted bruises on her body. He focused his golden eyes on his advisors, "Yes? Is there a problem?"
"No, Hotohori-sama," murmured one.
"Its more of a solution of sorts to a certain matter that has been plaguing us," another stated.
"Sniffling cowards!" grunted the eldest of the advisors, Akito. "Your majesty it is about the matter of finding an empress."
Hotohori, forced his fading smile to stay on his face. He had no wish to discuss the matter with his advisors at the moment. But Hotohori knew he had no choice, this was a matter that would not be dropped, even if he was mending a broken heart. "Very well."
"Hotohori-sama, for the last few years, we let this matter slide, in hopes that you would choose a young lady to be your empress. But there has been no such luck. The Imperial harem is close to overflowing with admirable young ladies, all capable of being an adequate empress. Despite everything, your majesty has chosen to ignore their presence."
"None of them are as beautiful, as I," Hotohori, replied, as he leaded them back into the palace.
"Yet, there are young ladies that outshine the miko, in beauty," Akito, pointed out. "However, you favor the miko, despite her obvious feelings for the seishi, Tamahome."
The words spoken, rang true; he could not deny them. Hotohori said nothing. Yes, Miaka, was more cute then beautiful, but she was the girl he'd waiting for, since he learned of the legend of Suzaku. True, the feelings shared by Miaka and Tamahome were impossible to ignore, as were the confessions of love between them. But what about his feelings? Or did they not matter, because his feelings should be in second place when compared to the welfare of Konan?. He sighed.
"Forgive us, your highness, if we have hurt you. Nevertheless, your majesty, knows that there is hardly even chance that you would be the one, to marry the miko. So its best to look somewhere else"
"And your reasons for bring, this up?!" Hotohori, demanded, trying to keep the biting tone in his voice, hidden.
"There are certain affairs of state, that you are unaware of," began Kuno, the most diplomatic of his advisors, "Among them, a treaty with the nation of Nekonlong"
Hotohori wasn't even aware, there was nation by the name of Nekonlong.
"The treaty was made before the death of your father with the Empress Selene..."
"Why has the council decided to finally bring this to my attention?" Hotohori, questioned, anger beginning to tint his tone.
"In the treaty, Nekonlong had allied herself with Konan. A very good thing, we assure you, your highness. Nekonlong is a small, yet strong nation. Renown for their warriors, sorcery, and healing skills. A very good ally indeed..."rambled Kuno, wringing his hands nervously.
"Especially, with the threat of Kutou rising,"Akito, added in. The rest of the advisors nodded in agreement behind him..
"What else?" Hotohori, replied. He was curious, as to why, the council, appeared so jumpy. A treaty was among nations was nothing to be nervous about. Unless...
"The treaty sealed with the promise of marriage between the heirs of Nekonlong and Konan."
"W-what?" Hotohori's eyes glazed over with shock Why was he never informed of this? Why was he never told that his life, was bartered for the price of peace and for the sake of his kingdom? Gathering his bearings, he waited for the rest of the bomb to dropped. "Please, continue."
"Before we say anything else, your highness," Kuno started, again, "I like to say that, in the past ten years, there has been no contact with Nekonlong, and that this treaty was almost forgotten, until the Empress' personal messenger, arrived a few days ago."
"Now there is no choice, but to honor the treaty," Hotohori finished.
"The princess," Kuno pronounced the word slowly, for he was unfamiliar with the title, "will be arriving before the week's end. The Empress is aware, that soon the miko will summon ,Suzaku. So, she is willing to have the wedding set back until after the ceremony."
"I see..." Hotohori turned away. He stared out the window, looking at the manicured gardens. Now, his love for Miaka, seemed more impossible then ever. ~If only I meet you first, Miaka...If only I was an ordinary man, with nothing holding me back...But I am not...Konan comes first...~ "It appears that Konan will have an empress, soon than predicted...Now if you'll excuse me"
As he left, he thought back, on how he always lack someone who loved him, for him. All he ever want, was to be loved for who he was... Not Hotohori, the heir to the throne. Not Hotohori the emperor of Konan...Just Hotohori, the man. "Perhaps one day the stars will look kindly on me, and allow me to love and be loved..."
*************************
Ten miles outside the capital of Konan
~Just looking at you, makes me wish you were wiped off the face of the earth!~
Usagi, jerked awaked, as Mamoru's words echoed, brutally, in her mind. Usagi, wiped the tears that trickled down her cheek with her sleeve. Mamoru, didn't love her. Usagi, could finally accept that, after everything that happen last night, but that didn't mean she could stop loving him. Afterall she was destined to be with him...Everyone said so. In the end, she would be with her Mamo-chan...But after last night, did she want to be with her Mamo-chan? Didn't she deserve someone who wouldn't hurt her?
With those thoughts in mind, she jumped to her feet Soon, one thought easily overpowered the rest. Breakfast!!! "I hope, momma, made pancakes or waffles!" Usagi, hopped in the direction of the kitchen, eyes closed in bliss with the thoughts of what awaited her at the bottom...
"IIIIIIEEEE!!!"
*SPLASH*
Of the lake? So intent on her goal, she failed to noticed her surroundings. Usagi pulled herself into sitting position as she spit out the murky water that had gotten in her mouth. Sitting there, she finally noticed that she wasn't in Tokyo anymore. No ten-story buildings, no crowded sidewalks...basically nothing that look like a city. Only a dense, green forest on the other side of lake, greeted her eyes. Turning her head to look behind her, she saw a grassy hill leading to a dirt road and another patch of trees.
~Kami-sama, it happened! Mamoru's wish came...~
"ribbit"
Right in front in front of her, attached to her chest was a green slimly creature, looking quite content were he rested. Usagi peered calmly at the frog, who was croaking up a storm, before throwing the creature as far away from her as possible, and screaming. "IIIIIIEEE!!!" on top of her lungs.
By a carriage, Tomoe Hotoru, looked up from her violin practice sheets, and smiled slightly. "Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama." Hotaru called out, "Usagi-hime, is awake."
"Really?" Kaioh Michiru, laughed softly, "I hadn't noticed. We best put everything thing away. While in Ancient China, its best, not to have modern technology in view" Both, made quick work of hiding their belongings.
Meanwhile, Tenoh Haruka, glared at the three horses that were to be under her control.
She was beginning to think, that these terrors on four legs were the Starlights, before they were reincarnated into the twentieth century with the trouble they have been given her the last half an hour. So intent on her thoughts, she almost missed the yellow and blue blur darting pass her. Blinking her eyes, she stared after the blur before she regained her senses, "Your Highness!"
"Usagi-chan, was never one to commune with nature, very well," Michiru commented as she straighten Hotoru's kimono.
Haruka grinned at the comment. "You're not any better, Michi." That earn, her a smack on the head.
"Your Highness!"
Usagi, stopped in her tracks when, she heard a human voice. Relieved that she wasn't alone in where ever she was, she looked around for the people that could save her.
"Your highness, we must really be on our way!"
Usagi glanced around, for the person they were calling for. No one. ~Darn! no cute prince!~ Usagi, thought as she looked in the general direction from where the voice came from. A handsome young man, stood impatiently by a carriage, beside him a lovely young woman, with a wicker basket in her hands. In front of the couple, a child watched her with a faint smile, as though she was amused. Usagi, waved, and continued to look around for the missing royal.
"Usagi-hime!!!"
"Ne?" Usagi, whirled back to face the trio. The young man with his hands on his hips, shot an impatient look her way. Thoroughly, confused, Usagi, stared back at them. ~How do they know I'm the moon princess? Where did Mamo-chan send me?!!!~ Usagi, took a step back, frightened.
"Please, Usagi-hime," The man called out, "We know that you don't want to go to Konan. But its really for the best, that you stop fighting the engagement..."
"Engagement?!!" Kami-sama, where in the hell did Mamoru send her?! ~What else could be thrown in my face, today~ Usagi thought sourly as she just stood there, dazed.
"Perhaps, that wasn't the best way, to inform the princess, Haruka-papa," Hotoru mused, her smile widening.

Taiitsukun's palace on Mt. Daikyokuzan
"This is a highly unusual request."
"I know." Setsuna Meiou replied, as she looked straight into the eyes of her old friend. "Rest assured, that the destined paths of the seishi will not be altered."
"Why are you doing this, Setsuna?" Taiitsukun questioned, as Nyan Nyans cheerfully set up for tea ".
Setsuna turned around to face, the oracle. "The destiny of my princess took an unexpected turn. With the blessing of the Moon goddess and the Earth Spirit, I was able bring her here..."
"As the Princess of Nekonlong, I know." Taiitsukun finished, "The nation has made itself reality in this world. I will allow this, under one condition."
"Very well,"
"You have to seal all her power until its time for her to return to her world." Taiitsukun started, "Your princess, have a great deal of power that could easily be used against the Suzaku seishi. Its for her safety that the rest of her guardians and you, let her rely on her wits"
"In that case, I insist on letting her keep some type of power," Setsuna accepted the tea. "Also, if the time comes I will bring five others through the gates."
"I agree. Healing power might be the most useful, in her case"
Setting down her cup, Setsuna rosed to her feet, "Very well. Now I must be on my way. I have certain things to discuss with bandits and I have to check on the progress of the rest of senshi, before I take my place in Konan. Taiitsukun I thank you for everything," With that the senshi of time left, transforming as she walked out the door.
"Taiitsukun?"
"What is it?"
"We can make you as pretty as your friend!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!!" Taiitsukun, bellowed as the Nyan Nyans, suddenly became airborn.
