Chapter 11: The Visitor

Sailor Venus was the first to speak "Do you guys have any idea who that was? That was the man from Sailor Moon's dream, Guardian." Everyone looked at Sailor Venus in shock, "You mean he is real?" stated Sailor Jupiter speaking what the rest of the group was thinking. "Considering that he just FLEW OFF mind you, with Sailor Moon in his arms. He Better be for real," replyed Saturn sharply. "Wow, Serena WAS right, He IS a hottie" Sailor Mars thought blushing, Sailor Mercury was jealous, her only thought was "Why does Sailor Moon always get the attention of all the cute guys?" Guardian flew through the sky on his way to the Temple, as a drop of liquid hit his face he noticed that it had started to lighty snow. By the time he reached the temple, the light snow had turned into a heavy snow storm. Guardian was now soaking wet, and freezing from the melting snow. His only concern was to get his Princess out of the weather, and into a warm place to heal.

Grampa Hino watched the snow fall as it covered the temple grounds, "Looks like there won't be any visitors tonight" he thought. He was just about to return to his duties inside the shrine, when he thought he saw the outline of someone staggering through the snow. Guardian slowly staggered along the path that led to the main shrine. His wings had cakes of ice clinging to them, his face was frozen from the constant battering from the howling wind. Sure he could have protected his face from the elements, but at the cost of his Princess freezing to death. He used what little body heat he had left to keep her warm, and by doing that sacrificing his own health. He glanced up to see how much farther it was to the main temple. It was hard enough trying to see with the wind and the snow beating him in the face, let alone with his eyelids trying to freeze. He could faintly make out someone standing in the doorway of the temple, "I wlll ask them if they know where the temple caretaker is" he thought.

Grampa Hino, gasped in shock when he finally realized, that the outline he though he saw, was an actual person trying to make it to the shrine. "Chad, get some blankets and some hot tea Now!!! Some poor soul is trying to reach the temple in this horrible weather, they must be half frozen." He shook his head in disbelief, "What could be so important that someone would risk their own life, coming to the temple in this type of weather?" As Guardian reached the entrance of the temple, two forms rushed out into the snow and wrapped him in
warm blankets. "Are you insane, going out in this type of weather?" Grampa Hino asked as he brought the crazed stranger into the temple. Chad and Grampa Hino helped him over to in front of the fireplace, so that the stranger could thaw out.

When Guardian warmed up enough that he could talk, he asked "Where can I find the temple caretaker?" Grampa Hino replyed "I am, but what is so important that you came out into this horrible weather to see me about?" The stranger
replyed,"Honorable Sensei all that this humble student would like is, to stay in this place of peace until his charge fully heals." Grampa Hino was puzzled by the strangers request, where is this charge he is talking about? Guardian looks up and notices the puzzled look on the caretakers face, "Sensei Hino, this is who I am talking about." He opens his wings a little to show a unconscious Sailor Moon in his arms. "She is unconscious from using magic to save her friends, she wasn't powerful enough to use it yet, so she used some of her lifeforce to enhance it."

Noticing that his visitor had angel wings, Grampa Hino starts to shake. "What do we owe the honor of your presence here, Honorable Tenshi?" Guardian quickly explains what he was doing there, then asked "Please is there anywhere that I can treat my charge before she gets any worse?" "Chad! show our tenshi visitor to my room, so he can treat his charge there" Grampa Hino yells. The tenshi replys "Please call me by my given name Guardian, and I cant take your sleeping quarters from you. Do you have a Room that is used for storage or anything? That is all I require, nothing more and can you please tell no one about my Presence here? Grampa Hino finds a room for Guardian to use and asks "Is this good enough Guardian tenshi? and as for your request this has been just a quiet night with no visitors." Guardian replys "your kindness will be rewarded, thank you." Once he is alone Guardian waves his hand over the room, a soft bed, a fireplace with a crackling fire, and a chair appears out of thin air. He gently places Serena under the covers of the bed, and sits down to keep watch over her.

A few hours later, Serena regained consciousness, "Where am I" she yells panicing as she sat up. Guardian leans over and puts his arm around her to reassure her, "Princess it's ok your in a temple to rest and heal from your battle." Serena turns her head, notices Guardian sitting there holding her and gasps "y-y-your real?" Guardian softly smiles at her and replys "yes my princess, I'am real I gave you my word that I would protect you and I will." On hearing this, Serena layed back down, relaxing as she softly stated "I'am glad your real." As she started to fall in to a deep peaceful sleep, she shifted knocking the covers off her a little. Guardian leans over and pulls the covers back onto his sleeping angel, moves her hair out of her eyes and gives her a soft kiss on her forehead.

As tears form in his eyes, he softly speaks "You did very well today my angel, you have made both Zaira and myself very proud." He then closes his eyes, creates a ball of light in his palm, and gently drops it on the bed. Serena's long hair spread out loosely around her, her Sailor fuku changed into an ankle length midnight blue velvet nightgown with an emerald green silk trim. "Sleep well my little angel, for tomorrow your friends will join us here." What he didn't notice when he turned to sit back down, was that a small contented smile had formed on Serena's lips.
