Things had always been peaceful on the Planet of Kinmoku, sometimes a
little too peaceful. Ever since Seiya could remember he had always been in
the palace. He longed for adventure and love, just like all of the other
boys his age, and spent many afternoons day dreaming.
Seiya sat in a chair near a window that was overlooking a meadow. The long blue-green grass swayed softly in the Kinmoku wind. The bright orange sun shined in the green sky and a few scattered trees were over the horizon.
He let out a long sigh and ruffled his long black hair that was pulled into a ponytail.
"Ojisama Seiya?" A young girl bowed as she entered Seiya's room.
"Hai?" Seiya turned from the window and looked at her.
The young servant looked at the ground and blushed a little. "Sorry to interrupt you, but Queen Kimiko would like to see you."
"Hai, tell her I'll be there in a moment." Seiya stood up and looked at the servant who bowed as she left.
"Shimatta, what does she want now?" Seiya checked his armor in the mirror before he left his room. Seiya always wore armor and a long sword in his belt. He had a cape that was attached to his armor, the back of it was grey and the part that touched his back was red. This was always the tradition for princes of Kinmoku to wear, and Seiya was not one to rebel.
Seiya walked slowly down the corridors, hoping to make the meeting with his Queen a little bit later. As he passed servants in the hallway, they bowed and blushed. Seiya wasn't at all full of himself, but all of the servant girls seemed to think he was handsome.
Seiya's step got a little slower as he neared the Grand Hall's doors. He pretended to look intently at a painting on the wall for a moment, and he finally walked to the huge double doors. Two guards were standing outside of them and they both bowed to him and opened the doors and whispered something to the Announcer. They opened the double doors for Seiya just as he heard the Announcer;
"Now presenting, his mighty Highness, Ojisama Seiya!"
Seiya walked into the Grand Hall and bowed before his queen. She sat on a throne at the front of the room. She was a shrewd woman, but she was generous. She was dressed in purple robes and her long red hair was hidden beneath a large ornate crown. Her purple eyes softened.
"You may rise, Seiya."
"Arigato gozimasu, Kimiko-sama." He rose and met her gaze.
"It is coming closer to my daughter's eighteenth birthday, you must know."
"Hai, I am well aware of Kakyuu-hime's approaching birthday." Seiya looked up at Princess Kakyuu who sat in a throne next to her mother. She wore red robes and her hair was up in a crown, except a few strands of it whisped out to the sides. Her red eyes watched Seiya with amusement.
"You know what my daughter's birthday brings?" She rested her hands on the arms rests of the throne.
"Hai, on Kakyuu-Hime's eighteenth year, she is of legal age to marry."
"And you know that her wedding has been scheduled three months after her birthday?"
"Hai." Seiya was a little annoyed, but didn't let the emotion go past his calm façade.
"You are well aware that she is betrothed to marry you, Seiya?"
"I have been aware of our noble marriage since my birth."
"Good." She smiled. "I just wanted to make sure you knew. I have to make everything official, you know."
"I understand, Kimiko-sama." He bowed.
"Her birthday will be a wonderful affair, you know. We've been planning it for weeks."
"Yes, how could I be in the palace and not hear of the wonderful event?" He smiled at Kakyuu and Kakyuu giggled.
"I will announce your engagement at the ball of the eve of her birthday party."
"Hai, it is a good time to announce it then."
The Queen smiled. "Your brothers will be coming back from training you know. You haven't seen them in a long time, what has it been, three years?"
"Hai, it will have been three years in two days."
Queen Kimiko stood up and walked down the three steps from her throne. She placed her hands on Seiya's shoulders. "You are a good boy, you know that? I'm proud to have you for a son-in-law. You have always admitted a special shine about you." She sighed. "Oh, what am I getting all sentimental about, hmm? I suggest that you go to your room to lie down and rest for a little . . ."
"Now announcing, Guard Nibori!" The double doors were opened.
"What is the meaning of interrupting my private conference?" The Queen went back up to her throne and sat down.
"Begging your pardon," Nibori was a young guard who was in command of the defense of the town and palace. He had short brown hair and piercing brown eyes.
"Well, what is it?" Kimiko sighed.
"Your majesty, I have reports of a bright light, well, and explosion happening around the south end of the palace."
"Is everyone all right?" The Queen suddenly got worried.
"Yes, it seems not to have even hurt a blade of grass, but . . ." The double door flung open again and a guard walked in carrying a girl dressed in white robes. She had long blonde hair that messily hung around her. She seemed to have been hurt a lot in the explosion.
"Who is that?" The Queen looked at the girl.
"I'm not sure, M'lady." Nibori bowed. "We found her at the sight of the explosion." He scratched his head. "I don't mean to sound rude, M'lady, and I don't mean to make assumptions, but I don't think she's of this galaxy."
"What do you mean?" The Queen looked startled.
"I mean, M'lady, that she doesn't look like any race of people that I know."
"You mean she's an alien?" Princess Kakyuu piped up.
"In short, hai." Nibori bowed. "I know it's far-fetched, but if you will allow her medical attention, then maybe when she wakes up we can get information from her."
"Oh! By all means, bring her to the infirmary and get the best doctors to tend to her, at once!" The Queen clapped her hands and a few of her ladies-in-waiting followed the guards out of the room to the infirmary.
Once everyone had left, the Queen sighed. "Gomenasei, Seiya. I didn't mean that to interrupt our conversation."
"It's all right, Kimiko-sama. If it's all right with you, I'll retire for the evening?" "Hai, get some rest, Seiya. May all of your dreams be cheery!" Seiya bowed a final time and the two guards opened the large double doors for him as he left.
[A/N. I know I should be finishing my other story, but I just got really inspired to write this. The uniform Seiya is wearing is like Prince Mamoru..you guys know what I'm talking about?
BTW, I got the Japanese from some web site, so if it's wrong, don't get mad at me! Ojisama-Prince.
Please, tell me how you like it, and remember, I don't own any of the Sailor Moon characters. R/R!]
