An Unlikely Bond

by:Lilaclight

Chapter One

Tsuki...

The Princess of the Moon, Serenity Tsuki, stood rigidly glaring at the lake in front of her. She was surrounded by beauty, the magnificent silvery trees, the gorgeous mirror clear lake, the peaceful animals grazing ,undisturbed by predators, on the short silvery green grass. This spot was her secret spot, where she went when she needed to think and to lose steam but this time she was unaffected by it's peaceful aura.

'That fucking bitch!!!!!!! How could she do that to me! If she wasn't my mother I would have killed the goddamn whore by now!!!!' Serenity raged inwardly.

'Now, now little one. What have I said about airing your thoughts like that?' came the amused voice of her mentor.

'I sooooo sorry sensei. It's just that she is a goddamn whore!!!!!!!!!' Serenity retorted.

"Too bad. Deal with it. Act on your emotions but don't let them control you. Use them to fuel your power not to cloud your mind."

"Yes sensei." Serenity replied sarcastically.

She turned to her right and waited for him to show himself. She was rearing for a fight and she hoped that he would give it to her. Not one to disappoint, Hiiro launched an attack which she countered a second too late. She was sent flying backwards while Hiiro stood there watching her with that little sadistic smirk of his.

'He looks so sexy when he does that' she thought as she crashed into a tree.

'Thank you Serenity. I never knew you were interested.' he replied telepathically.

Serenity blushed so red that Hiiro wondered if there was any blood left in her legs so she could walk. When no efforts to stand were forthcoming, he concluded that there wasn't but boy would his ears pay for that comment. Mentally counting down in his head, he held back a smile at her obvious embarrassment at being caught.

Serenity could feel the heat on her cheeks and knew that they were very red at the moment. Her legs were weak at the moment and she was embarrassed by the fact that he had heard her. And that she had actually had the thought. They were friends nothing more. He had helped her, been there for her when she needed the companionship and held whenever she needed a shoulder to cry on. Now she was romanticizing about him! Argh! She need some serious help. But first she had a vampyre to tell off.

"You fucking bastard!!!! How dare you eavesdrop on my thoughts!! You're supposed to have more honour than that. I'll cut off your damn dick as soon as I get the chance you hentai!!!!!!!" she screeched in a rather loud high pitched voice as she moved to stand.

Hiiro winched in pain as his sensitive ears were traumatized by her screeches. He had often wondered if she was related to any banshees. The only other banshee he knew that loved to screech in his presence was that whore Ririna Peacecraft. She 'claimed' to sleep with all those men and women solely for the sake of avoiding conflict. Everyone knew that the real reason was that she was a slut who enjoyed her trade. Unfortunately, the motherfucking bitch wanted him.

"Serenity darling, it's not my fault you were broadcasting as usual. I just decided to let you know and this is the thanks I get for all my kind consideration." Hiiro gave her a wounded puppy look that he knew women could not resist.

Serenity was breathing hard as she tried to gulp in air. Shouting at someone without taking time to breathe was not advisable but she had a bad habit of getting carried away. Then she looked into his eyes as he gave her his look, the one she knew there was no way in creation she could resist. Her breath caught in her throat as the gaze deepened and she felt like she was drowning in the unique blue pools that were his eyes. Prussian blue pools. A rare colour on her home moon as well as the other planets in the solar system.

Hiiro felt a tug at his heart as Serenity gazed into his eyes. Hers were so beautiful and full of innocence, an enchanting shade of silvery cerulean blue. He felt like he could float in her gaze forever. There was such peace there, such love for all even the mother she declared to hate so much. How one such as she had come to befriend him he would never understand. The first time they had met she had come upon him while he was feeding. Not at all a good first impression.

*~* Flashback *~*

Hiiro was hungrily sucking on the neck of a rather pretty young girl; the only thing wrong with her was her profession. He had not eaten in over two weeks and that was a little too long for even him. Sure he was one of the oldest, most powerful vampyres around and had hundreds of minions who would obey his every command but he still needed to feed.

As the girls lifeblood flowed into his body, warming him and giving him more energy than that of a human, he heard a twig snap. It was the only sound that alerted him to the fact that he was not alone. A string of vivid obscenities crossed his mind when he realized how degrading it was for him to have not even noticed the presence. To his utmost astonishment, he heard a musical giggle in his head.

'You really shouldn't use such foul language,' a young voice said in lilting tones.

Hiiro hid his surprise and finished draining the young girl. He then stood and dropped the girl's body like it was a piece of filth. His dark brown hair was streaked with red and he had long messy bangs over his forehead, ready to cover his eyes. Brushing them back, he narrowed his eyes and scanned the perimeter in hopes of spotting the intruder.

When she stepped forward, he smirked evilly. She was only a child, a small seven year old. He wondered what was the deal with her, most tsukijins, although powerful, were hardly known for their telepathic abilities. His eyes widened slightly when a slight breeze shifted her silvery blonde, heart shaped bangs away from her birthmark, an upturned golden crescent moon. Hiiro knew that only the royal family had a mark like that and it signified great power.

"Hello. My name's Serenity. What's yours?" the girl asked with a beaming smile while moving forward towards his still form.

"Hiiro Yui, your highness. What is a little girl like you doing here at this time of the night?" he inquired. One as young as she should be in bed not out gallivanting in the middle of the night. 'Or fraternizing with vampyres' he added silently.

"My mother's throwing a ball and she would not let me come so I came here instead. I fell asleep in that tree over there and when I woke up I saw you and the girl. Is she really dead?" Serenity answered, her wide eyed gaze on the young girl at his feet.

"I'm afraid so little one."

"Why'd you kill her?" she asked with a slight frown.

"Because I was hungry." Hirro responded with a smirk. 'Let's see how you react to that little princess'

"Oh. Doesn't matter. You're too nice to kill someone who doesn't deserve it so I don't mind. What did she do anyway?" Serenity smiled sweetly while her devious little mind thought up a way to get him to train her. She knew all about vampyres, or at least what they told her. She did not believe everything they said and the tiny but important fact that Hiiro had not killed her on the spot proved that they, her tutors and mother, were wrong.

"She was a prostitute. Why so interested?" Hiiro was getting suspicious. No normal child would stay there looking so sweet and innocent while conducting a conversation with a vampyre.

"A paid whore. My uncle has had a few come to the palace on occasion, she looks like one of them." Serenity began as she stopped in front of Hiiro. "So Hiiro, how do you like my secret spot? You're the only person other than myself who seems to come here."

"It's a lovely place. Very seclude and dangerous for a child of your stature." Hiiro had to grin at the little girl as she sent him a big smile that went straight to his heart.

"True but no one comes here so who would kidnap me? The trees perhaps?"

"Let's get to point little one. You know that I'm a vampyre yet you do not fear me. Why is that?" Hiiro asked her, his curiosity finally getting the better of him. His motto to act on his emotions was rather useful as his instincts had never let him down.

"If you wanted me dead, you would've killed me by now. I want to be your friend and I want you to train me." Serenity said, her eyes suddenly dimming with sorrow.

"What!!! Are you insane child?! If I am ever found with you I would be taken and staked," Hiiro exclaimed in shock. 'Well they could try to stake me.'

"No one will ever find out. I can mask your aura when you're with me. Besides, don't you think training me will be worth your while?" She gave her best wounded look, with the tear filled big blue eyes and the pouting lips. There was no way he'd say no.

Hiiro was about to cave in.

'She's going to grow into a real heartbreaker,' he thought admirably.

"I will consider it if you answer me a few questions." he said grudgingly. He did not need to be stuck on this blasted moon babysitting but there was something about the kid that called to him.

"Fine. Ask away." she retorted confidently.

"One, how can your aura hide mine? Two, why do you want training? Three, why are you a telepath? And four, why are you really here?" Hiiro said in his famous monotone. He knew that to deal with her at the moment , he would need to separate himself from his emotions.

"One, because my aura is very powerful and will cover yours quite successfully; two, I want to be able to defend myself instead of depending on others; three, I got that particular skill as well as a few others from my father's side of the family and last but not least, I'm here because my mother is a total bitch who want to control my life so that her precious alliance grows." Serenity answered, her voice gaining bitterness as she spoke those last few words.

Hiiro felt an affinity to this girl and he knew of her problems. There were rumours going around in the underworld that Queen Selenity hated all magical beings such as vampyres, dragons and demons and was planning on adding Chikyuu to the Alliance via a marriage between the two ruling houses and chikyuujins were notorious for their hatred of creatures like himself. What she told him proved those rumours to be true and he sensed that she was not at all happy with her role in it.

His agile mind took into consideration all that could happen if the two families joined forces and he came to a decision. He was very much aware of the evil force that was slowly awakening on Chikyuu and the dangers that would occur, especially if that force found a way to corrupt the tsukijins through the alliance. If not it could not then it would destroy the beautiful kingdom.

"Fine, I will train you only if you promise to help me fight when the time comes."

Serenity was not sure what he meant but she was certain of one thing. She would be getting the training that she had asked for. that was all thta mattered to her.

"I promise." she solemnly vowed.

*~* End of Flashback *~*

And that was how their friendship had started. Now the time for that battle was near. Breaking eye contain, Hiiro took control of himself and beckoned for Serenity to walk with him. For once she said nothing and silently followed, apparently sensing the seriousness of the situation at hand. He was so proud of her. She had come far from those days as a child and was his equal in using her magic and telepathy as well as fighting. She could hold her own with the best of them and that was what was to happen.

"The time is drawing near for the battle. Remember your promise, Serenity, for your help will be needed." he began.

"I would never let you fight alone! You're my best friend." she burst out with fervor. A slight red tinge came to her cheeks as she turned her head awake from him to hide her face.

Hiiro smiled gently and touched her cheek to turn her head to face him again. " Thank you my friend. You know how much I treasure our friendship." Having said that, he leaned down and brushed her lips with his. Energy sparked between the two and Serenity's breath once again caught in her chest as tremors traveled through her body.

'What is this reaction? Why does he of all people affect me this way?' she wondered dreamily.

'What is this feeling? I've never felt anything like it in my entire existence. Could it be? No, not with her. We're too different but she is so beautiful both inside and out.' Hiiro thought. He also knew that nothing could come of what they were experiencing.

Drawing back slowly, he smiled at the dazed look in her eyes. He wanted to take her right then and there and make her his; damning what anyone else thought. He almost did but he stopped himself in time. He had a mission and he would see it through.

"Serenity, your mother just announced that you are to marry Prince Endymion, right?" at her nod he continued. "One of my sources have informed me of the disturbing fact that he is in league with Beryl. Beryl is an evil bitch who want s to control everything. She's the one causing all the problems on chikyuu but has managed to lay the blame on my kind as well as the dragons, dwarves, elves and other beings. The demons have joined forces with her and they have already gained control of the political leaders in chikyuu. Endymion has killed his parents to prevent their interference and has blamed it on the shadow demons, the only group that has yet to join them. He plans on using this to rush the marriage and the formation of the alliance between Tsuki and Chikyuu. I've also been informed that Beryl will be accompanying him as an advisor."

Serenity gasped. It was much worse than she thought. She had never imagined that things would ever get this bad and the urge to warn her mother was strong. As if he knew what she was thinking Hiiro spoke.

"Don't even bother trying to warn her. When she asks how you know, what will you tell her? Would she even believe you or will she take this as an attempt to avoid the marriage? You and I both know that her head is so far up her ass that she won't believe a word that you or I say."

Serenity knew what he was saying was true. Her mother would never listen until it was too late to do anything.

"You know so well. I wish she was different but I know I can't change her. Let's just hope we survive the battle and then I can leave." Serenity sighed heavily as she thought of the dream she had harbored for so long. Freedom away from here, from her mother, from her duty.

"You still plan to run away?" Hiiro asked, his surprise evident in his voice. "Where will you go if the chance presents itself?"

"Anywhere far. This is not the only system in the universe. There are other galaxies out there and I plan to visit them all." she replied confidently.

"I wish you luck my friend." he said.

Checking the time, he growled impatiently and wondered where the bakas were. They were late ,but then again, that gave him time to spar with Serenity.

"Expecting company?" she asked with a raised brow.

"However did you guess?" he replied ." When they get here, you'll finally get to see others like us but until then let's have some fun."

"Sugoi!!" she exclaimed. Hurriedly braiding her hair in one sloppy braid, she rolled it up so that the long braid would not be within reach of an opponent.

"Ready?" he asked, positioning his slim, well muscled form into a fighting stance.

Serenity took a similar stance and gave him a smirk that looked scarily similar to his. "Are you ready to lose to me?"

"Never."

The two flew at each other and their fight began in earnest.

Chikyuu...

Endymion strolled through the halls making certain that no one was following him. He could not afford to be caught, not now, not when everything he wanted was within his grasp. Finding himself at the end of a dead end corridor, he stopped in front of a tapestry of a armored warrior on a midnight horse pushing his jeweled sword through the heart of a demon. the background was that of a battlefield strewn with the fallen bodies of both mortals and demons. Looking behind him one last time, he then pushed his hand behind the tapestry to find the hidden lever. Once he found it, he twisted it to the left and stepped though the portal it created in front of him.

He felt the usual dizziness overcome him and closed his eyes. When the feeling faded, he opened his eyes to see the darkness around him. He appeared to be in an underground cavern that glowed with a faint red light. He moved forward and strode purposefully through the tunnels towards his goal. He arrived in a big room that seemed to have no visible ceiling, only a darkness that threatened to swallow you. In the center of the room stood an ornately carved black throne made of an unknown substance and on it sat a beautiful woman. She had bright red locks and a black crown on her head, a wicked looking horn resided on each shoulder and she wore a dark purple dress that showed off her curves to perfection. The amount of cleavage that was visible would have given a monk a heart attack

"Why have you come, Endymion? Have I not told you never to interrupt me when I am conversing with Queen Metalia!!" Beryl snarled, suddenly looking ugly.

"My darling, we leave for Tsuki in six hours. I came to inform you that it has been confirmed. Queen Selenity will announce that engagement one day after our arrival and the marriage will take place a week later." Endymion said from his submissive position on the ground.

"Stand." she commanded harshly.

Beryl looked on as the tall, dark haired prince stood from his kneeling position. His midnight blue eyes were cold as he met her gaze with one of his own and his build was that of a fighter. He was an excellent addition to her army. Soon she would have complete control of Chikyuu and then Tsuki. After that the other planets would be powerless to stop her. An purely evil smile spread like a virus across her pale face. Her black lips parted to show her fangs.

"With this new information I can better plan my attack. Thank you Endymion. You are proving to be quite useful and will be rewarded accordingly when we rise to power." she said giving her approval.

Endymion gave her an answering smile that heated her blood. She was feeling rather neglected as his generals, now hers, were out putting the last few details into place and Endymion was present at the moment. She would just have to make use of him then.

"Leave us!" she commanded the guards who were in the room.

Endymion looked around him in surprise as numerous demons left their posts to exit the room. He did not let his surprise show and silently approved of how Beryl ran her operation. If one thought to attack her here, one would never get the chance because of her hidden guards.

"Endymion-koi, come closer so I can see you better." Beryl said coyly.

"Having problems already? Maybe you need and energy boost. Shall I call in one of your minions?" he said snidely while walking forward.

Beryl frowned slightly. She knew that he would be difficult to control but sometimes he really made her want to kill him. One day his mouth would get him in trouble.

"Are you alright? A frown should not mar such perfect features or wrinkles are sure to come. Do you suddenly want to look your age, milady?" Endymion taunted.

Beryl's temper was rising. But so was the sexual tension between the two. Endymion preferred to be in control and although he let Beryl run things, he planned on taking over but until then, there was no way she would be the one to dominate their physical intimacy. She may get away with that when it came to his generals but not with him.

"You motherfucking asshole, how dare you imply that I'm old!!!" (sensitive about her age ain't she) she growled.

Her breasts heaved magnificently as she breathed deeply in an attempt to calm down. Endymion's eyes were drawn to them like a moth to a flame and lust made his blood run hot. His dick firmed as blooded pumped into it and his erection became very obvious to Beryl who gave a erotic smirk.

"Well, well, well Endy. Is that a gift in your pocket or are you suddenly glad to see me?"

Endymion's last thoughts before he kissed Beryl with abandon was a hope that his future wife had a body as hot as Beryl's.

Four hours later Endymion was gone and Beryl was left alone to recover from her strenuous activities. Her crystal ball glowed and came to hover over her limp body. A small figure of a woman appeared and she looked down in disgust at the sight before her. She was biding her time until she could enter that dimension. Then in a physical form she would kill Beryl. Or take over her body.

"Beryl!! Get your lazy ass up. How a bitch like you managed to have power I will never comprehend. Now tell me what the Prince said." Metalia ordered.

"Yes your Highness." Beryl said in submissive tones as she hastily gathered her clothes and willed a new outfit on her naked form.

When she was presentable, Beryl took her seat at the throne and position the crystal ball between her open palms. Her wickedly long black nails scraped lightly over the glass surface and Metalia growled in annoyance.

"Well, I'm waiting!" she snapped impatiently.

"Everything is going better than planned. That foolish bitch Queen Selenity has agreed to announce the engagement tomorrow and the wedding can take place next week. She'll never know what hit her." Beryl gloated.

"Stop gloating you over-confident whore!! Don't you know not to underestimate your opponent. Queen Selenity is powerful, after all she was the one who sealed me in her, and it is only expected that her successor be equal or stronger than her in power. Beware her daughter." Metalia warned. She did not know how true her words were.

"That's easily taken care of as Endymion should be able to control the girl. He is going to be marrying her." Beryl countered sulkily.

Metalia sighed and shook her head in pity. She had a feeling that she would not have to kill the bitch herself. Selenity or other enemy would do that. She just hoped that she would be freed before that happened.

"How is the energy collection coming alone?"

"Also better than expected. We should have enough energy to free you before the Alliance is cemented and they will never know until the attack." Beryl said smugly.

"This better be certain Beryl or I will personally see to your demise and appoint another to lead my army of darkness." Metalia threatened softly.

A shiver of cold terror ran along Beryl's spine at those words and she desperately hoped that all went well. She would as painfully as Metalia had in mind. She knew, from the example of her predecessor, just how sadistic and imaginative Metalia could be when given the opportunity.

"Yes my Queen." she said with her head bowed.

"Now hurry up and ready yourself!!! You leave in less than two hours if I'm not mistaken and you don't want to keep Endymion waiting." with those words, Metalia's image vanished from the crystal ball as if it had never been. Beryl direct the ball to it's resting place on a stand in the shape of a gnarled and withered black hand with claws by the throne. Then she created a portal to Endymion's castle. Stepping through it, she disappeared into the darkness until her whole form had disappeared. The portal closed behind her and reopened in her own suite in the castle. There she packed all things needed.

Tsuki...

Queen Selenity and her guards gathered at the entrance to the air field to welcome Prince Endymion and his entourage. Finally her dream would be realized and then she could take a little rest. If only her ungrateful brat would go along with her plans. Could Serenity not see the benefit of what she was doing? Some children were so ungrateful and disobedient and hers just had to be one of them.

Letting out a sigh, Selenity stepped forward to greet the Prince, whom she had not seen in years. She was not at all surprised to see how handsome he had become and was confident that he would be able to sway her daughter. Giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, she wished that she was younger. Then she would have married him instead.

"Greetings Prince Endymion and welcome back to Tsuki. It's been a while has it not? Please accept my condolences on your parent's deaths." Selenity said with sincerity.

"Thank Queen Selenity. I only wish that I had been able to stop the shadow demon before he escaped but *sigh* that was not to be. I was magically restrained then knocked out."

Selenity became more sympathetic with the prince's plight. She knew just how taxi-turn the loyalties of such creatures were and how evil they could be. That is why she vowed to rid the solar system of them.

"Please Prince Endymion, you may call me Selenity as we shall be soon related. And may I introduce to you my chief advisors and guardians of the princess, Artemis and Luna."

Artemis and Luna stepped forward. They were opposites in hair colour as Luna's was black and Artemis' was white. His flowed unrestrained down his back while hers was up in four round buns similar to Selenity's two. She wore a practical black dress that emphasized her waist and firm breasts. It was styled to be collarless, had a round cut in front and the sleeves reached her arms. Designs of the moon in it's four quarters trimmed the edges of her ankle length skirt and her sleeves.

Artemis wore a pair of tan tunics, a metallic grey vest that emphasized his well muscled chest. Beryl was openly eying him and began to plot a way to lure him into her bed. ( wonder if she's a nymphomaniac? ) Darien was eying Queen Selenity and he was hoping that her daughter looked at least half as good as she did. She looked like perfection in her demure white dress that hugged her figure in all the right places. Her silver hair was up in the traditional style that had always reminded him of odangos. The tips of the streaming hair almost trailed on the ground. He figured that was a testimony to her age although he still found it hard to believe that she was older than Beryl. And he'd be first tell someone that Beryl was old.

Bowing before the prince, Artemis and Luna were miserable although they did not show it on their faces. They had no idea where the princess had run off to and agreed with her concerning the marriage Queen Selenity had planned. Being part cat, Luna and Artemis had the power to change into cats, a rather useful talent when it came to spying. Also, cats are able to sense spirits and determine whether or not they were good or bad and the vibes coming from the chikyuujins before them was bad, very bad. Oh, why could their queen not sense that?

Keeping silent, they decided to speak of what they sensed after they did a little investigating. They would bring it up at the meeting between the planetary royalty that would exclude the prince as he was not yet a member of the alliance. They just hoped that their queen would get off her high horse and listen.

"It is an honour to meet you, your highness. Please accept our condolences and welcome to Tsuki." they said simultaneously before stepping back.

"Only two advisors?" Endymion raised his eyebrow. He was curious as to how much influence they had on the queen.

"I do not need more than two. Besides they are excellent guardians for the princess and will take you to her later." Selenity responded while watching Beryl with a slight frown.

'Where have I seen her before? She seems familiar or is it the vibe she's giving off? I know that the prince would not have someone evil with him, not unless he is unaware.' Selenity dismissed the 'traitorous' thoughts and decided to keep a close eye on Beryl.

"Impressive. Now may I introduce my chief advisor Beryl, and my four generals Neflite, Jeidite, Malachite and Zoisite."

The named emissaries stepped forward and bowed before Selenity. Beryl was a red head with obviously sluttish taste in clothes and an arrogant smile. The four generals were similarly dressed in armour only Neflite wore black, Jeidite wore blue, Malachite wore jade and Zoisite wore red. (imagine Prince Endymion's armour) Endymion was better dressed than them for his armour although similar was more ornately designed than theirs.

Queen Selenity was impressed with his guards. They would be an excellent addition to her army if the others were as good as those present.

"You may rise. You will meet with the remainder of my people tomorrow at the ball. The other princesses will be present as they are my daughter's Senshi and are sworn to protect her. They will be going back to Chikyuu with you when you return with Serenity as your wife. It is too dangerous down there to risk her going without her own guard." Selenity said, although deep down she wished someone would kill the brat and take her off her hands. She had better things to do than to baby-sit and placate a sixteen year old with an attitude to authority.

"Selenity, as much as I enjoy being in your presence, where are our quarters? We do need to unpack and my generals would like to survey the security around the palace." Endymion said politely.

"Ofcourse. How remiss of me," Selenity said with a small laugh. "Follow me. An entire wing had been delegated to you."

Queen Selenity concentrated on the crystal and everyone disappeared to reappear in the palace. Unknown to her, three people had been observing the meeting from their hiding place in the brush and those three went to report their finds to the fourth member of the group.

Finally this chapter is done!!! It's one of my longest. Anyways, I need to know the japanese name s of the four generals. Would anyone be kind enough to oblige me? And I want to say that I do intend to complete this fic. Then I'll go to Body Swapped and Fortune's Gift. As for Redemption, a new chapter will be out next week with Body Swapped's. I hope you people are happy now.
