Chapter 7
Kuroshi looks over Crystal Tokyo, the city was still busy, as it was during the day, and still equally beautiful too.
*And somewhere out there, Serenity is being held captive and taken advantage of. *
She allowed her face to grow blank the more she thought about the Queen's condition when she would returns.
*She won't be the same. *
She looks over at the senshi with Chibiusa and Endymion. They were telling her something good, at least that's what Kuroshi thought, because the little twelve year-old smiled.
*Fools.* She thought bitterly. *Have they no idea how long this could take? Or what condition she might be in if she even returns home alive?*
"Kuroshi-san."
Kuroshi looks over at them. They didn't have to whisper, she would've heard them anyway. That and besides the fact that she was ignoring them in the first place, she didn't really care what they were saying as long as she finds Serenity, she'll get her wish. With that in mind she turns towards them.
"Yes?"
"Umm..." Chibiusa looks up at the woman, clearly a little frighten by her.
*Good.* Kuroshi thought, *It just might keep her on her toes. *
"You wanted something?"
The girl's red eyes looked uncertain as she shifts a bit. "How are..are y-y- you go-going to find Mama?"
"First of all, little rabbit," Kuroshi began, "never stutter. At this moment you don't really need to do so, but practice that. A ruler doesn't stutter because it's a sign of weakness."
"What does that suppose to mean?" Cerecere asked, looking from her meek princess, which was very unusual, to the black lunarian.
The other asteroids and the Senshi stares at the woman. "Yeah!" Junjun chimed in, "Are you saying we're weak?!"
Kuroshi looked at them, slightly amused by their little tempers.
"I would say yes you are, but that would be bias of me, wouldn't it?" She smirked at the little girl, "But I say it because it's true. Leaders, normally among themselves, always, whether in times of peace or war, look for a weakness in each other." She shrugs carelessly, "Something I've observed back then, but it holds true to today."
"Why are you so mean to us?" Pallapalla asked staring at her a little angrily.
"Let's just say, the White Moon Kingdom didn't like me so I don't like it."
Chibiusa cocked her head to the side, "Why?"
"Chibiusa," Michiru chided, "you don't ask someone such a personal question!"
She bowed her head, "Gomen ne. But I was just curious, Mama never said anything about black lunarians and.ummm.I've never seen one." She looks up at her, "I don't think I can tell the difference between you and anyone else from Earth."
Kuroshi nods, it was understandable, her long hair hid her ears so no one around her would ever find out.
"There's a difference other then our skin color, Chibiusa." She told her and moved back her hair, "See, my ears are pointed, that's the way you can also tell who's a half breed or not if you can't tell by skin."
"You look like an elf or fairy!" Vesves exclaimed.
Junjun nods still stunned by the ears, "Are there anymore of you?"
"Of me?" Kuroshi shook her head, "I'm the last one.maybe."
Endymion looks at her strangely, "Why do you say that?" He asked, "You told us that you are the last one of your kind and now you say you might be the last one?"
"I came here looking for Serenity after my two thousand..or nearly three thousand years of sleep from the moon." She told them, "It might be possible that some of my people came here, disguised as humans. This sort of has something to do with the pact that the first Serenity made with us when she first arrived."
"What does that mean?!" Setsuna asked a little pissed.
She was the fucking Guardian of Time, damn it! How could she not have known of this?!
"Maybe I'll tell ya, maybe I won't."
"Why's that!?" Haruka cracked her knuckles.
"Because I'm just that vindictive." Kuroshi told her, "You have me working for you, so in return I expect something back. Something that Serenity could consistent to."
"So, when this is over, you want a private audience with her?" Minako shook her head, "Not bloody likely."
"Then I will find her on my own and I won't give her back." She stated looking at her nails coolly, "There are a great many places to hide on this planet as well as the moon and several other places as well, it would take you many, many years to find us."
"You wouldn't.." Rei began.
"Oh, but I would," she told her nodding her head with an evil little smile, "remember? I'm just that vindictive and to top it off, I know the stalker's real name. Heck, I've had chance to fight him and all." She would've laughed at this moment but didn't, "for me, it's a win, win situation."
"Alright, you will have a private audience with her." Endymion told her.
"Helpfully she will recover quickly to give it." Kuroshi mutters.
"Why do you say that?" Chibiusa asks curiously. "Is something bad happening to Mama?"
Kuroshi didn't deny it, she just stated, "She's not going to be friendly to pretty much anyone after this. She'll be hurt both mentally and physically. She wouldn't want to see anyone."
Tears filled the little girl's eyes and fall down her cheeks. "Why?" She cried, "Why is this happening?!"
No one answered her for a moment. They all stared angrily at Kuroshi as Endymion picked his daughter up and hugged her. Rei, Michiru and Pallapalla, tried to soothe her.
"Maybe if you pray, the gods will answer us and protect her." Kuroshi heard Rei say.
She couldn't help but chuckle at that statement.
"What's so funny?" Junjun, Haruka, Makoto and Rei asked at the same time.
"What you've said Rei, the gods will answer our prayers." She shook her head, "Hasn't anyone told you that they don't care anymore?" She asked, "They are gone, they left and went on a vacation. The gods that we knew are selfish lot. They only care about laying with you. So giving prayers to them is useless."
"Why are you so cruel!?" Hotaru asked looking from her distressed friend to the woman.
"Because I can be." She answers, "And because it's the truth. The gods don't answers prayers anymore."
"Bitch." Makoto spat.
"Damn straight." She turns away from them, "Ja ne."
AN: Yes, Kuroshi is bitchy because she doesn't like them to much....well, maybe. Any way R&R.
