A Woman's Shattered Dreams
Chapter 7: Kisses in the shower of Cherry blossom petals
With Chad running from the temple scared to death Rei and all her friends now are in the temple with no trouble of Chad returning. Rei went to her room and changed into her priestess robes. Trunks was wondering around the temple when he saw Rei pass by into a room he hasn't look in. He saw her pass by him and she looked like a goddess. Her hair flying around her frail figure, her wings behind her as if she have had them for years, a glow on her face showing the healthy sign of upcoming motherhood, unspoken joy only noticed in her eyes, and a hidden secret. Trunks finally noticed he was staring when Rei turned to him and looked at him with worry. "Trunks- kun daibuju ka?" Rei asked. Trunks blinked and with a slight tint of pink on the bridge of his nose answered Rei's question and walked past her. Rei sighed and went into the fire room and sat down in front of the holy flames. "Sun, moon, star, earth, fire, air, water, rock. I am flame and flame is light. I am fire and fire is sight. Show me the meaning of that vision. I repeat tell me!" Rei yelled and then fell into a trance. Bulma heard a yell and went into the fire room and saw Rei fall into a trance. She smiled at the similar scene when she would visit Mars. Rei woke from her trance moments later pale and in need of fresh air. Rei stood up and walked out to the back of the shrine and breathed in a deep breath. "Soon..soon. Soon a great and dangerous battle will happen." Rei said to herself. Vegeta was watching Rei walk out of the fire room and heard her words as if she's said those words of doom many times in her life. "Demo with this child within me I cannot be at the highest power as I usual am." Rei whispered resting a hand on her swelled stomach.
"All I can do is pray that Bulma and I can defeat Queen Nephrenia before the androids join her side." Rei said and turned to the winds as petals of cherry blossoms fell around her. "Mother what would you do in a situation like this? Would you go into battle blindly?" Rei asked herself. "Princess is that you?" A woman asked coming from behind a tree. Rei gasped and ran into the woman's arms. "Phobos!!" Rei cried and hugged the woman. "Hime?" Phobos asked. "Sister who's there?" A crow asked landing next to Phobos and turning human. "Deimos!" Rei cried hugging her other guardian. "Princess? Oh my god! You're alive! We thought you were killed when Serenity-hime and Endymion-ooji were killed. Thank the great goddess you are alive. We thought that Mars had no ruler." Deimos said and cried on Rei's shoulders. "It's alright, demo, the new war has started." Rei said. "We know highness. Demo we have no allies. How can we possibly defeat the Dead Moon Circus on our own?" Phobos asked. "Sailor Earth can help us." Rei said. "Sailor Earth. She's only a legend." Deimos said. "Iie she's real and she's here with her family." Rei said. Deimos and Phobos' jaws dropped at the news. "Demo, how?" Phobos asked. "It's a long story and I have no intentions of telling it right now. The war had started and I believe I cannot fight as much as I could for a while." Rei said. "What do you mean princess?" Phobos asked. "I would hurt my own child if I were to use my life energy so wrecklessly." Rei said. "Child? You pregnant princess? How come we did not know of this?" Deimos asked.
"Because I ran away so no one would be harmed and would know of what hell I went through." Rei said. "But why didn't you tell us your guardians?" Phobos asked. "Because it's my problem not yours." Rei said. "Gomen princess." Phobos said. "It's quite alright." Rei said and moved back from her guardians. "You look so much like your mother. Sometimes I think it's really Rhila instead of you princess." Deimos said. "I know. The family resemblance is very visible." Rei said. Vegeta then noticed that the two guardians reminded him of some people from long ago but shook the feeling away. "You look so much like Rhila I'm near tears. Our gentle ruler's daughter looks so much like her...our little Pyro has grown up!" Deimos said and started to cry. "Deimos-chan." Rei said in a mutter. "So I've seen that young demi-Sayian kicked Chad's ass who is he? And why does it look like you're his mate?" Phobos asked. Rei blushed at the mate part. "Trunks-kun is the son of Sailor Earth's. And he's a dear friend nothing more than that." Rei said still pink in the cheeks. "My princess you seem to be blushing enough to show it's more than that. Is it?" Deimos asked with lil' horns on her head. "NO!" Rei said blushing crimson in the face. "I can sense a secret in you princess so I know you are lying." Phobos said. "You are such a spoiler of my fun, demo you are so wrong." Rei said.
Rei looked at her guardian for a moment and then looked at the sky above her. "A great war..a grand battle...the end...are all coming at once." Rei said. "What do you mean?" Vegeta asked making his presence noticed. "Oh Vegeta-san. It's nothing." Rei lied and looked at the sky. Trunks was wondering around the temple yet again and looked into the fire room to see the fire burning large in its holder as if something was reacting to his presence. He walked into the fire room and saw a girl within the flame speak to him. "Protect her." The voice said. Trunks looked hard into the flames. "Please protect my daughter. She's an angel who's lost her heart." The voice said again. "Who are you?" Trunks asked. "I am Rei's mother from long ago. Please Prince of the new Vegeta-sei protect my child and my grandchild." The voice said and then the fire went back to normal. Trunks saw a woman around Rei's height with a red gown and blazing symbol on her forehead smiling at him heavenly as if knowing something would happen in the future, the woman Rei's mother. Trunks felt something new in him burning and looked at his hands to see a sword of flames in his hands. "Prince of Earth I count on you to protect her." The voice said and then faded. Bulma could sense the former queen of Mars' energy in the fire room and watched everything happen. Trunks was covered in the flames being held by the flames goddess while she was wishing for him to protect her only child and future grandchild. She was proud that her son would accept such a hard duty..for protecting a Martian would be hard because of their stubbornness but knew inside that he was in love with her best friend and knew it would work.
The sword disappeared and Trunks went out to look for Rei but when he found her she was sitting on a step looking at the Cherry Blossom petals fall to the ground with a glaze of uncried tears in her eyes. "So many deaths will happen and it's because of me and Bulma are still alive and the enemy wants to kill us." Rei said to herself unknown of Trunks' presence behind her. "Why were we reborn into this world if it's going to end up destroyed it's a waste of life to just repeat the cycle continuously. I hope you won't have the same fate as I have right now. I hope you have no powers so you can have a normal life." Rei said to her unborn child with her hand on her stomach. Trunks could sense the despair in Rei that it pained him to see her in such a state. He sat next to her making his presence known. Rei was surprised when Trunks suddenly sat next to her. "Why do you look so sad?" Trunks asked. "The world will be destroyed." Rei said in a somber voice. "I hear that all the time so what's new besides that." Trunks joked, but heard no laugh from Rei, she was totally serious. "Without the Moon Princess the unity between the planets isn't as strong as it usually would be for there is only two living princesses from the 9 planets in this solar system from the original Silver Millennium alive. Making the on coming war much more difficult to fight. Do you know how many generations of my family were expected to come up with battle strategies because our planet is that of battle and war?" Rei asked looking so sadly at Trunks. "How many?" Trunks asked taking her hand in his to feel it was slightly cold. "Since the first generation. I'm the member of the 120th generation of planetary royals and so is your mother." Rei said.
"That's a lot of generations." Trunks said. "But the cycle will hopefully end here. So the universe will no longer have threats. Because while the Moon Princess and us other planetary royalty are alive the jewel of the Silver Millennium will be envied starting many uncalled deaths in war. I'm just a mere puppet in this game of fate. I'd rather die in battle then to live in the peace when this war is over. For if I live I know there will still be enemies because of the crystals of our home worlds will be around the same magnitude of the Silver Imperium crystal so the enemies will come for both the crystal and it's welder to use and cause a Universal Apocalypse." Rei said. Trunks saw Rei's hands shake as she spoke of a possible repeat of the Silver Millennium for he heard the story from his mother many times when he was a boy. "When were you orphaned during the Silver Millennium? Around 6?" Trunks asked. "Hai. I was turning 6 on the day the assassins came and killed my parents." Rei said. "My father in my timeline died when I was a baby. My mother had to raise me but then the androids in that time killed her not long after she awakened as Earth and taught me how to use the time gates to prevent the same fate of Earth in that time to happen in this time." Trunks said. "Fate I hate the word. I have despised it ever since I took this curse back when I was 14." Rei said. Trunks grabbed her shaking hands to try and stop her from speaking of universal destruction and to stop her from those thoughts. "Fate is a hateful thing but yet it can do some good. Don't think it just brings terrible things." Trunks said now wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "Fate, because of it when I left here my friends were killed. Because I didn't want to be in their way in the battles." Rei said with hate towards herself for failing her life mission.
"It was something you couldn't control. Stop blaming yourself for something you couldn't control." Trunks said getting in front of Rei to see her eyes near the point of pouring tears. "You don't understand Trunks-kun. I was sworn to duty, sworn to throw away my life to protect her. But I was so selfish that I retreated. Don't you know how dishonorable that is for my people? If my parents were alive they would have thrown me into the wind and disown my as their daughter because I broke our sacred code of honor!" Rei said looking down to not meet Trunks' eyes. Vegeta heard Deimos and Phobos saying that Rei and Trunks were talking and were going to spy on them and had his own way to do so and peeked through the wooden panels of the door. Trunks tilted Rei's chin up to see the battle to fight back tears was lost and tears were streaking down her face. "Is honor that high on your planet?" Trunks asked. "Yes, Vegeta-sei was my sister planet we had the same honor code except..on Vegeta-sei if I was to break the sacred code of honor there I would have been executed." Rei said. "Wonder why she thinks she dishonored us." Phobos said behind Vegeta surprising him. Trunks gathered the now sobbing Rei into his arms and felt her warm tears on his shoulder. Waiting to be burned from the tears Trunks stayed there holding Rei to him letting her cry but didn't feel any heat on his body from the tears, but felt heat within his body. "It's ok. Just let it all out. I lost friends and family too. I know the pain. Just let it all out Rei." Trunks said soothingly to her. Rei's shoulders shook as she cried to hardest she ever had in her whole life but when she felt Trunks' arms holding her in that of support she was calming down. The warmth coming from him was soothing her shattered spirit, he truly understood what she was going through and felt herself melting into him from the warmth. Vegeta never saw this side of Trunks and watched to see him being gentle to the Princess of Mars already knowing that he was in love with the young woman but didn't know if it was true or not. So he stayed there to see what would happen next.
Trunks moved Rei back to see her eyes no longer pouring tears but he saw one streaking down her face and wiped it away with his thumb feeling her soft, warm skinned face. Bulma was now watching the two also with Vegeta, their fingers laced together. "I know he loves her. And I know she loves him but she doesn't want to get hurt again. She knows he won't hurt her but she's scared that the enemy will take him away from her." Bulma said to Vegeta in a whisper. "I know I've noticed it also." Vegeta said to his mate as he kissed a mark on her neck. Trunks looked at Rei's eyes to see them shining with tears slightly but saw the shining fade away as she looked back at him. "Uh...May I ask something?" Trunks asked starting to get nervous suddenly. Rei tilted her head to the side, blinked innocently and said he could ask whatever was on his mind. "Well.uh..you know I've been helping you and...uh..staying next to you..I want to tell you something that had been on my mind for a while." Trunks said. Trunks' hands clasped Rei's as he looked at her lovingly. Rei felt herself feel warm inside knowing what he was trying to say. "Yes, what is it?" Rei asked softly. "I uh...I..I am in love with you Rei." Trunks said looking away from her ashamed that he probably said his feelings too soon. Rei could sense his hostility and squeezed his hand. Trunks looked at her to see her eyes were shimmering with tears again and used one of his hands to brush some hair away from her ear. "I want you to be with me." He whispered into her ear. Rei blinked some tears back to hide her happiness from Trunks telling her that he was in love with her. Rei rested her head against his hand. Trunks rubbed his thumb against Rei's face and looked at her eyes to see her hidden happiness.
Rei removed one of her hands from Trunk's and leaned her head next to his ear. "I am in love with you too Trunks-kun. I thought you wouldn't love me though so I never said anything." Rei whispered. "You're crazy." Trunks said to her tilting her chin up and looking at her. A blush came across the bridge of Rei's nose. Trunks bent his head down to hers. "May I kiss you?" He asked in a whisper. Rei's eyes widened as she numbly nodded her head. Trunks looked at Rei and then kissed her lightly on the lips as he gathered her in his arms. Bulma smiled widely to see the two kiss and looked at her husband to see his eyes beaming with pride, for Trunks admitted his feelings directly unlike him and then looked at his mate to see her smiling with joy. "We shall leave them to their business." Vegeta said to Bulma. Bulma nodded her head and the two headed towards the kitchen to make dinner, knowing Trunks and Rei would be literally attached to the hip for the rest of the night. (No they aren't doing 'it'! You HENTAIS!!!) "I love you and now you know." Trunks said. Rei nodded her head at that. "And I love you." Rei said. "I have many other things you might want to know but I'll tell you later." Trunks said. "Ok." Rei said. The two got up from the temple steps and walked back inside, Trunks' arm around Rei's waist, while Rei's hand was on his hand. Bulma and Vegeta heard the two coming in and when they did Phobos and Deimos coughed and excused themselves. "So why were you two outside for so long?" Bulma asked. (Lil' kitty features on her face) "Rei and I were talking." Trunks said. "You sure?" Bulma asked. "Bulma! You know I'd never do such a thing." Rei said blushing. "I know." Bulma said.

Chapter 7: Kisses in the shower of Cherry blossom petals
With Chad running from the temple scared to death Rei and all her friends now are in the temple with no trouble of Chad returning. Rei went to her room and changed into her priestess robes. Trunks was wondering around the temple when he saw Rei pass by into a room he hasn't look in. He saw her pass by him and she looked like a goddess. Her hair flying around her frail figure, her wings behind her as if she have had them for years, a glow on her face showing the healthy sign of upcoming motherhood, unspoken joy only noticed in her eyes, and a hidden secret. Trunks finally noticed he was staring when Rei turned to him and looked at him with worry. "Trunks- kun daibuju ka?" Rei asked. Trunks blinked and with a slight tint of pink on the bridge of his nose answered Rei's question and walked past her. Rei sighed and went into the fire room and sat down in front of the holy flames. "Sun, moon, star, earth, fire, air, water, rock. I am flame and flame is light. I am fire and fire is sight. Show me the meaning of that vision. I repeat tell me!" Rei yelled and then fell into a trance. Bulma heard a yell and went into the fire room and saw Rei fall into a trance. She smiled at the similar scene when she would visit Mars. Rei woke from her trance moments later pale and in need of fresh air. Rei stood up and walked out to the back of the shrine and breathed in a deep breath. "Soon..soon. Soon a great and dangerous battle will happen." Rei said to herself. Vegeta was watching Rei walk out of the fire room and heard her words as if she's said those words of doom many times in her life. "Demo with this child within me I cannot be at the highest power as I usual am." Rei whispered resting a hand on her swelled stomach.
"All I can do is pray that Bulma and I can defeat Queen Nephrenia before the androids join her side." Rei said and turned to the winds as petals of cherry blossoms fell around her. "Mother what would you do in a situation like this? Would you go into battle blindly?" Rei asked herself. "Princess is that you?" A woman asked coming from behind a tree. Rei gasped and ran into the woman's arms. "Phobos!!" Rei cried and hugged the woman. "Hime?" Phobos asked. "Sister who's there?" A crow asked landing next to Phobos and turning human. "Deimos!"

Vegeta asked making his presence noticed. "Oh Vegeta-san. It's nothing." Rei lied and looked at the sky. Trunks was wondering around the temple yet again and looked into the fire room to see the fire burning large in its holder as if something was reacting to his presence. He walked into the fire room and saw a girl within the flame speak to him. "Protect her." The voice said. Trunks looked hard into the flames. "Please protect my daughter. She's an angel who's lost her heart." The voice said again. "Who are you?" Trunks asked. "I am Rei's mother from long ago. Please Prince of the new Vegeta-sei protect my child and my grandchild."

"Why do you look so sad?" Trunks asked. "The world will be destroyed." Rei said in a somber voice. "I hear that all the time so what's new besides that." Trunks joked, but heard no laugh from Rei, she was totally serious. "Without the Moon Princess the unity between the planets isn't as strong as it usually would be for there is only two living princesses from the 9 planets in this solar system from the original Silver Millennium alive.

Rei asked looking so sadly at Trunks. "How many?" Trunks asked taking her hand in his to feel it was slightly cold. "Since the first generation.

"That's a lot of generations." Trunks said. "But the cycle will hopefully end here. So the universe will no longer have threats.

I'm just a mere puppet in this game of fate. I'd rather die in battle then to live in the peace when this war is over. For if I live I know there will still be enemies because of the crystals of our home worlds will be around the same magnitude of the Silver Imperium crystal so the enemies will come for both the crystal and it's welder to use and cause a Universal Apocalypse." Rei said. Trunks saw Rei's hands shake as she spoke of a possible repeat of the Silver Millennium for he heard the story from his mother many times when he was a boy.

Bulma smiled widely to see the two kiss and looked at her husband to see his eyes beaming with pride, for Trunks admitted his feelings directly unlike him and then looked at his mate to see her smiling with joy. "We shall leave them to their business." Vegeta said to Bulma. Bulma nodded her head and the two headed towards the kitchen to make dinner, knowing Trunks and Rei would be literally attached to the hip for the rest of the night. (No they aren't doing 'it'! You HENTAIS!!!) "I love you and now you know." Trunks said. Rei nodded her head at that. "And I love you." Rei said. "I have many other things you might want to know but I'll tell you later." Trunks said. "Ok." Rei said. The two got up from the temple steps and walked back inside, Trunks' arm around Rei's waist, while Rei's hand was on his hand. Bulma and Vegeta heard the two coming in and when they did Phobos and Deimos coughed and excused themselves. "So why were you two outside for so long?" Bulma asked. (Lil' kitty features on her face) "Rei and I were talking." Trunks said. "You sure?" Bulma asked. "Bulma! You know I'd never do such a thing." Rei said blushing. "I know." Bulma said.
