Woah! I haven't written so much so quickly in my life! Thanks SOO much for the reviews - 11 in 2 days is a record! If you left a review, and I still haven't reviewed back, then don't panic - I haven't forgotten - I'm just incredibly busy! Thanks for all the suggestions and tips, I'll try and make this chapter better. xxx
(NA: I'm looking for another word to use instead of Quarters. I heard it when I read Katherine by Anna Seyton a few years ago, I think it might have been Solar, or something similar-sounding, but I can't find it in a dictionary. Please help! Write a review and tell me if you know the word I want!)
PRECIOUS METALS by Sailor Earth
*Chapter Three*
Minako yanked off her boots and dashed straight up the many flights of stairs to Queen Serenity's *quarters*.
"Can I come in? It's me, Minako." she called.
"Sure." Minako entered. Serenity was perched on a stool at her dresser, carefully brushing out her long hair. "What's up, V-babe?" she asked.
"Promise you won't call me crazy?"
"Would I do a thing like that?" Serenity teased. Minako wandered absent-mindedly over to Chibi-usa's cradle. The small child looked up at her, wide-eyed. Minako lifted her out of the cradle and held her close.
"I saw Kunzite today."
"No way! Kunzite? That's impossible!"
"No, you unwittingly revived him with your Silver Crystal."
"How? Did he attack you?"
"I dunno. And no, because Metallia's gone. In fact, he was incredibly friendly. He's a fashion designer now."
Serenity was silent, trying to get her head around this. Minako gently rocked Chibi-usa. She smelled all warm and milky. This was the type of moment which made Venus really want a child. It rare for her to ever yearn for something like she was now, but Chibi-usa's innocent face and tiny features made her suddenly seem so adorable. Minako ran her fingers theough Chibi-usa's pink curls before murmuring, "look, Mama's finished brushing her hair now. Maybe she would like to hold you?"
Serenity smiled, and lifted her daughter out of Minako's arms.
"Are you going to see him again?"
"I think so."
"He may be lying, Mina-chan, so be careful."
"He's not. I just know it."
"Don't be too sure."
"Look, Serenity, I trust him, so I will take full responsibility for his actions."
"Well, if you're sure. I think you should tell Endymion, though. Afterall, Kunzite is Endymion's general."
"I will. Thankyou Serenity."
After Minako had left, Serenity hugged Chibi-usa. She looked at her in awe, trying to imagine how very soon her tiny baby would be the fiesty kid that had come from the future to visit her all those years ago, when Serenity had still be known as Usagi, and Endymion as Mamoru. Then, Crystal Tokyo had seemed so almost unreal, but now here she was, all grown-up. And it seemed that V-babe was falling in love too, even if V-babe herdelf didn't know it yet.
"Do you think she remembers what happened to them in the past?" she asked Chibi-usa.
