Chapter 5:
Impatience, for the Warrior, was a new emotion. She did not allow herself to feel such, for that would make centuries of loneliness unbearable. Perhaps 'anxious' was a better word for what she was feeling, or 'concerned'. Whatever the name of the emotion, she was feeling it. She did not want to see the future she had dreamt come to pass. She hoped that the Princess, who was so like her mother, would be strong enough to save them all.
*****Moon Palace---- Silver Millennium:
"Yeah!" Serenity bounced into the room, "My parents said it was okay!" From her friend Serenity got a sense of question, and she remembered that she hadn't told Saturn, yet, what was going on.
"Well, I've kinda been um, delaying, some of my duties so I could come visit you," she admitted.
=Happy Reprimand=
"Yes I know, but I wanted to see you! Anyway the Queen wanted to know where I was disappearing to, so I told her. And she yelled at dad for awhile, because he brought me here in the first place. Then she yelled at me, because she : 'Didn't want her daughter hanging out with someone who had "Destruction" in their formal title!'"
=Worry=
"No! *I* don't think of you that way! I know it wasn't your choice to be the 'Soldier of Destruction'. And I know you would never hurt me!"
=Sadness=
"Yes, I know that, if you had to use your power, I would die like everything else."
=Despair=
"Hey! It's okay! If things were *that* bad I would probably die anyway!"
=Reluctant Agreement=
"You know I'm right! You only wake up to use your powers if there is no other way for the Universe to survive. Let's put it this way: I know you would never hurt me if you could help it."
=Confirmation=
"Okay, glad that's cleared up!"
=Agreement=
"So, back to my mother, the Queen. Once I got her calmed down and explained everything, including the example I just gave you, she finally admitted that I was right. And mom and dad said I could keep visiting you!"
=Relief, Happiness=
"Oh, you're my best friend, I probably would have snuck back to see you anyway!"
=Reprimand=
"Okay! Your right! I respect my parents too much to do that. But I defiantly would have worked on them until they saw it my way, and let me come back!"
=Amused Disbelief=
"Hey, I can be persuasive! I'm even taking lessons. They call it," she paused, "'Diplomacy'"
=Amusement=
"Yes, I know!" Serenity giggled, "And I'm pretty good at it too. So I think they would have let me come back, eventually." If Serenity had been watching her friend closely, instead of giggling, she might have noticed the corner of Saturn's mouth turn up in a smile.
*****Tokyo---- Present Day:
"What happened?!!" Darien demanded. Serena looked up at him, from her 'rescued' position in his arms, and tried to decide what to tell him. (She didn't think that: "I stayed late at the arcade and had to take the rooftops home...." would go over to well, and that was just the beginning.) Darien had rushed out of her house, automatically scooped her up in his arms, and headed back the way he had come. He barely spared a glance at her family (Which *was* a little rude, but he got that way when Serena was hurt) who were still following, in a rather confused way, right behind them. But neither super-hero was really aware that her family was within hearing distance, they were to wrapped up in other things.
"Serena! What Happened??!!"
"Hey! You don't have to yell! It's no big deal, really!"
"Serena," he said with a chilling calm, "you're bleeding." *a faint gasp was heard from Serena's mother* "Now, tell me who did this: SO I CAN KILL THEM!!!!!" Serena's dad and brother jumped at this, and her mother gave a little squeak, he sounded so *serious*, would he really kill someone for hurting their daughter/sister?
"Now, Muffin," Serena tried to placate him, "I'm okay, there's no need to kill anyone." By this time they had gone in through the, still open, door and into the livingroom. Darien plopped her down on the sofa and kneeled in front of her, meeting her eyes, "Serena you're hurt, that's reason enough to kill someone," he paused, thinking, "or someThing. Serena, is there a new enemy I'm not aware of?"
"No," she shook her head, "They were human, I'm sure."
"Who was human?," he demanded again.
"Well, these two guys were trying to mug this lady......"
"And you just waded in without any backup?"
"I was already transformed," *Serena's mom looked at her dad and mouthed: transformed??* , "and she *did* need help. And since when can't I take out two *humans* by myself?"
"Since now, apparently," he returned, "Let me see how bad it is." he then preceded to lift the left, bloodstained, side of her school uniform shirt. He had lifted it *just* enough to see the wound, but Serena still blushed. #^.^#
"Daaarrriiieennnnn!," she squealed, "I'm fine! Look it's healing already, and I barely noticed it until I powered-down!" Then she looked down herself and, seeing the injury still bleeding sluggishly, she gulped, feeling faint.
Serena's gulp of distress was echoed by her mother, who had peeked around Darien to see what was wrong."Serena!," she gasped, "We need to get you to the hospital!"
""NO!!"" Serena and Darien chorused, making all the poor, nervous, confused people in the room jump. Hospitals where just *not* a good place to go for super-heros (or heroines) with differing DNA.
"Wh..... What?"
"Well," Serena started, "I, umm, don't need to go to the hospital."
"But, Serena! That's going to need stitches," her mother insisted.
"Umm, no it wont?" she looked to Darien for help, "Should I tell them?" she whispered. Darien was trying to decide how to answer her, when the point became moot. A portal opened in the middle of the Tuskino livingroom, and out stepped Sailor Pluto.
"Princess," the Guardian of Time said formally, "you are needed."
