Ok, I made a bit of a mistake in my previous chapter, Jadeite shouldn't
have attacked with the rest of the generals, mainly because he was
unconscious and the reason Rei didn't attack was because she was looking
after him. Awwwww! Also I just have to say *sniff*…THANK YOU FOR ALL THE
REVIEWS! I'm really happy now! The last time I checked I had 59! WOW! Ok,
maybe not wow for most fanfic writers, but for me it's…THANK YOU!
Disclaimer: I don't know why I bother any more…I don't own it.
1 Chapter 16-Truce
After the Outers arrived and everyone was settled (Jadeite was healed, but still weak), they all looked at Usagi, nothing was said until…
"Why is everyone staring at me!" Shouted an exasperated Usagi.
"Uh…Usako…your…um" Was all Mamoru was able to get out.
The rest just kept staring at her. After another minute of this behaviour, Usagi was ready to blow.
"Fine! Don't say anything!"
She stomped into Rei's room and…
"Aaargh!"
Then silence. She walked slowly back into the room, a dazed expression on her face.
"Luna?" She asked in an emotionless voice.
"Yes Usagi?" Replied Luna, rather nervously.
"Why is my hair…?" She didn't know how to finish.
"We believe that since you'd got your new transformation, you're slowly transforming back into 'The Princess'. Your hair is now silver and longer, both these things are characteristic of your bloodline. The same thing is possibly true for Mamoru, he is slowly turning back into Endymion."
Everyone turned to scrutinise both Mamoru and Usagi, both of them getting very embarrassed.
"But, Mamoru hasn't changed at all!" Complained Minako
Everybody agreed with her, but then Artemis interrupted.
"Mamoru's physical appearance is very similar to Endymion's. Usagi looks slightly different for many reasons. First, until the age of 16, the heir or Queen of the Moon Kingdom has golden blonde hair which then turns silver. You also used to wear your hair longer, traditionally.
"But Usagi's 18." Put in Ami.
"Since Chaos was defeated you haven't used or needed your powers, when you transformed into Sailor Silver Millennium Moon your power must've awakened your other self."
"I think all of us get this, but what about the enemy? They know two of the scouts' real identities!" Interrupted Haruka.
Before Luna or Artemis could say anything, Usagi started to talk.
"It's not safe to stay in the temple anymore, we can start looking for a new place to stay tomorrow, but for now we all stay here, Outers and Generals including" She said, looking around the group.
It wasn't hard to gauge the scout's thoughts about this. All of the Inners had gone pale, apart from Mina, whose face had momentarily turned to stone. Haruka was definitely going to say something, until Michiru covered her mouth. Kunzite then stood up, and motioned to the others to leave.
"We better go and get our stuff, we'll be back as soon as possible." He added "Maybe the Outers can stay here until we get back, safety in numbers?"
"We'll stay." Confirmed Setsuna.
The Generals left, with Mamoru following to get his stuff. Immediately after they had left, the room erupted!
"They can't stay with us!…"
"How are we…?!"
"No way!"
"How could you even…!?"
Usagi held up her hand for silence and it came almost immediately.
"They were reborn to protect you guys and for now there is going to a truce." She paused for a minute, to make her point. "Agreed?"
They all agreed, none daring to disagree with her. Setsuna smiled, watching Usagi exercise her new power over them. She was turning into a very good leader.
"Well, at least I've got some good news" she said, a smug tone in her voice. "I've unlocked the gate and can sent Chibi-Usa back, now if there is reason to."
"Go, now", ordered Usagi, "I do not want her to get involved in this."
"As you wish" and to everyone's surprise she bowed to Usagi before transforming and leaving.
**2 Hours Later**
"Well, we've all had a long day and should get some sleep." Came the cheery sentence from Usagi.
Everyone stood in silence for a minute until Luna took charge.
"Girls, you're in here. Mamoru, Generals, you all fit in Jadeite's room, can't you?"
Everyone nodded in affirmation, and settled down to sleep.
**1 Hour Later**
Rei had tossed and turned for the last hour, she gave up trying to sleep and got up. Everybody else was asleep, she giggled slightly as she saw Usagi, wrapped around a big, neon pink bunny. She tip-toed quietly to the kitchen, got herself a glass of water and sat down at the table.
She couldn't stop thinking about IT. IT being Jadeite nearly getting killed…protecting her.
'He tried to protect me…even after, even after I was so, horrid towards him. And I ran to him, to protect HIM. Could he still…could I be…'
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps.
"Couldn't sleep either?"
She quickly stood as she heard his voice, turned and her resolve to just ignore him disappeared.
His hair was adorably tousled from sleep and his blue eyes were sparkling, but they still held a shadow of pain.
"No…I mean yes…I…thank you." Was all she was able to get out.
He walked slowly towards her until they were only centimetres apart. She was frozen, shocked, not able to move a muscle. He slowly leaned over, his breath tickling the hairs on the back of her neck.
"You're welcome" he whispered, his voice filled with emotion.
As he straightened up she looked into his eyes, filled with fear, uncertainty. He smiled wanly and then brushed his lips over hers gently. They just stood there, at peace, for a moment. He withdrew slowly and walked out of the kitchen.
Rei let out a shaky breath, her mind and senses still on fire from the kiss. Then suddenly Jadeite stuck his head in the door.
"So does that mean you'll go out with me tomorrow?" He asked, cheekily.
She couldn't help but laugh at this, her nervousness evaporating at that exact second. Typical Jadeite, cocky bastard.
"I'll think about it." She managed to say coyly.
"Don't think too long, there are other girls who'd love to go out with me, you know." He said before leaving again.
Rei leaned against the wall, collecting her thoughts.
'I could and I am…in love, with Jadeite.'
***Abiko Building***
Belladonna was pacing her room, fiddling with her signature spring of Belladonna. A beautiful woman was kneeling before her. She had the palest of green skin and deep forest green hair, she was wearing a dark green, figure clinging dress with a poison ivy pattern.
"So, Wolfsbane and Monkshood have been defeated?"
"Yes mistress."
"They were weak, but they did find out the identity of two of the Princesses. I leave them to you Ivy, don't disappoint me."
"I won't, I swear it."
"Go."
Ivy transported out of the room. Belladonna stopped pacing and smiled.
"I will find out who you are, and I will destroy you, for the glory of the princess, the dark one, Rose.
Ooh, romance! I actually managed to fit some in, aren't I clever (. I might not be updating for a while, it all depends on how tomorrow goes. Tomorrow is parents evening ( and if my dad manages to get home from his business trip in time for it…I'm screwed. So if that happens I'll probably be banned from the computer, so wish me luck! (
