Chapter 2
"Just let me go and I promise I won't EVER come back or speak a word of this! And, you don't have to either! Just say I got lose or something!"
Rei was being dragged to the dungeon room and was not going along in silence. For all she knew, this 'King' could be connected to Endymion. She just couldn't face him. And what about her friends? Rei was in trouble. She was on a planet she'd never been on before. She's so close to have her life sentence to death. Damn the Princess Selenity! Why did she always have to act as such nonsense? No, Rei couldn't blame it all on Selene. The only reason Minako and she were separated is because she wasn't concentrating, like she should've been doing. Instead, she was too busy thinking about what was said between hers and Minako's conversation before the alert.
"How did you get past the gates anyways?" There was silence. "Oh, so now you won't speak? Just a second ago you wouldn't shut up." Just then, he opened a broad, heavy metal door. "This is where you'll stay until his majesty decides what to do with you. And by the way, that gown looks rather," He lick is lips slowly taking a longer glance at Rei's gown. "craving."
"Pervert." She spat.
He ignored her comment, and shoved Rei forcefully into the small dark room behind it and shut it back swiftly. Rei was slid across the small room and ran straight back to the door pounding on it constantly and yelled. She felt her hand around the middle left and right side of the door, searching for some kind of door-knob There was no door knob however, just a somewhat big key hole. It was dark, and nothing but a small room with concrete, filthy ground and cob webs hovering in corners and above.
After the last few bangs and pleading, she shut her eyes stiff, curved around, and began to descend down on the door. She crouched up into a ball, resting her chin on her knees. What mess she was in. She began to sniff back the tears coming to her eyes and wiped away what was spilled onto her cheeks. She told herself not to just mope, and move away from the door quickly before something awful could happen with her and the door, if it there was ever to be any connection.
Her head suddenly shot up! Her transformation stick and communicator! Where could it be? She was now in progress and felt around her gown for the two missing items. She must of left her transformation stick at her home but she 'did' bring her communicator; but where was it? She thought back at what might have happened, lets see. She remembered just a while ago, when she pulled it out right before she got captured by that damn man and. crap. It must have slipped through her hands when one of the guards took a hold of her by surprise.
Speaking to no one in particular, she yelled out irrational things. "Crap! Freakin' crap, crap! Why me? Why the hell did this have to happen to me? Why couldn't this have happened to Selenity? She's been here, what, numerous of times?! ARGH!!!" She was speaking out her mind more and more and finally calmed a little bit. "No Rei. It's no one's blunder but yours. You shouldn't craved such horrible things for the Princess Selenity. Next to Minako, Selenity is one understands you, she's one of your best friend's. Soon, everything will be fine.. Hopefully." At that moment, she fell sound asleep, resting her head on top of her crossed arms that were being supported by her knees. Suddenly, a tear rolled down Rei's cheek, dropping to the dusty ground.
~*~*~*~*~
While she was in slumber, the prince was outside questioning the guard who captured the young lady previously in the evening.
"So, you had just seen her roaming around, and, you didn't even ask her why she was here wondering about without notice?" The prince was thoroughly mystified! Firstly, how did this mistress appear on his turf and not be spotted by any of his guards? Secondly, what would she be doing on royal grounds un-expectantly?
"Oh, of coarse not your highness! I did question her quite a few questions, but she stayed soundless." The other male said quickly.
"Okay, there's no one around so you don't have to worry about any sort formalities man. You are in the same state of being as I am in royalty."
"Okay well, you are in a way of containing more significance than I myself do."
"Oh, really? How's that so?" The young prince questioned confusingly while staring at something gleaming on the pure cut lawn.
"Are you not one of Endymion's generals of his court?"
"Yeah, second in command if that's in the least any good." Taking his last glance at whatever was so shiny in his grass, he turned his attention back to his friend.
"It's magnificent! Right next to first. You know, I once tried that out at your age, but I wasn't a 'preferred' one to protect the young prince." Although he hated to admit it, he graved in anger inside.
"I'm sensing antagonism my dear friend. Care to tell?"
"No, I'm fine, it's just, I'm now beginning to remember something." He lied.
"Speaking of remembrance, do you hold any schedule of meeting the dear princess you engaged yourself to years ago?" Jadeite said, turning his attention once again to the shining object. He ran a hand through his blonde locks of hair, staring in confusion.
"Actually, I'll have to check up on that. You know, I've only seen a picture of her. She's quite lovely and extremely exquisite. I never actually exchanged words or anything with her. But of what her father tells me, she seems as an exceedingly independent woman. Her father told me that she never gave a man a chance of love. And your highness may I ask, what you are staring at?"
Jadeite snapped his head to his companion, who had a mused look upon his face. "N-nothing, nothing important that is. Look, it's getting late, you look exhausted. Maybe you should go on to sleep."
"I actually am feeling rather bushed. How about you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just going to roam just about for a while."
"G'night your highness. Don't stay out to late." With that, he walked away to the castle. Once he was out of sight, the prince wandered over to what was glistening in lawn.
"What is this?" He mused to himself as he picked up the object. Then his eyes merely widened.
~*~*~*~*~
Next Morning.
There was a loud yawn that came from Rei as she stretched out her arms.
"Morning Sailor Mars." Rei jolted right up with her eyes wide open.
Rei let out a big gasp and clutched a hand to her chest.
"That is your name right am I right? Or your secret identity for that matter." Seeing Rei's confused face made him sigh in exhausted. This woman better not become a burden to him. "It says so right here," He pointed to the printed name on her lost communicator. "and I found it right in the spot that you were supposedly wondering around at and then caught doing so." There was no response. "I'm Prince Jadeite. Second in command of Prince Endymion's generals. Now to ask you a few questions. What is your proper name and why is 'Sailor Mars' roving around on one of the royal grounds on Earth?"
What was she to say? He knew that she was Sailor Mars and he didn't seem stupid. Though she just found out that he was a prince and not a king. Not holding much power as a king but, he was still royalty no matter what position. She was trapped. And what more? If she didn't say something, she could be turned in to the Prince Endymion himself, which isn't at all a good thing. It could start war first thing. The most hopeful thing she could do is trust this man with her complaint and hope that he goes with it in understanding.
"I was told that you settled in silence, but, if it's just some misunderstanding we need to work this out now, before I let this get any further to Prince Endymion. It's now or never." For some strange reason, Rei told herself that this man could be trusted. But how? She just met him a minute ago. What the hell was she thinking? Then again, if she didn't say anything, good bye planetary peace. "I'm not going to stand for this." Once the prince admitted this, he sighed heavily standing up and reached for his keys buried in his pocket.
"Wait. Does any other person, besides you, know of my secret identity?"
"Nope, just me." Rei took a big sigh. She was ready to tell, but not a whole lot; just her identity and a simple complaint.
"My name is Rei, Princess of Mars and I wasn't supposed to be here I know. It's only that, my princess, Princess Selenity seems to have snuck off with your prince, Prince Endymion, again. At that moment, my friend and I came to Earth to search for her and take her back to the moon where she belongs. During our transport, I wasn't concentrating as I was to do. So Mi-," She paused for a second and then continued. "my 'friend' and I got separated and this was my first time accompanying the planet Earth. Next thing I knew, I was on your 'regal' grounds and seized, brought to this room, slept, woke-up and now seeing you right in-front of me."
All Jadeite could do was massage his neck and utter air. He had a rather amused look.
"But please," Rei spoke up. "don't say a word of this to anyone. It would ruin the so little peace the Moon has with Earth. If you do however say anything, we could expect war and I don't want that because of this dim-witted misunderstanding."
"No princess, I do not intend on going in war for such a ridiculous misunderstanding. The secret is safe with me." Rei sighed in happiness. "However." Happiness gone. "How do you plan on returning back to Mars or the Moon?"
"Well, I was hoping that you could transport me there." Rei replied hopefully
"But how? You could get caught easily." He said.
"You could be my transport." She simply said.
"But, the Transportation Room is on the other side of this castle. How could you not get caught?" Rei had a wicked smile upon her face. Next thing Jadeite knew, there was an unconscious guard in Rei's little dungeon, half-naked.
"I can't believe what you just did." Jadeite must have repeated this phrase a couple of times.
"And you've admitted that how many times? Honestly your majesty, I expect better from you. Although, I do believe you were in on this too. You are however, the one who exerted a draw on him here and knocked him upside the head until he fell unconscious."
"But it was your idea!"
"Right, and you followed it." Rei said finishing off her new ensemble that Jadeite's guard once wore. "What do you think?"
"What am I suppose to say princess?"
"Uh, gee I dunno. You look nice? And don't call me princess. I think the guards would get weird out by seeing me as a man and yet being addressed as a woman and a 'princess' for that matter." Jadeite laughed at this princess' sense of humor. She looked quite lovely and with the most stunning eyes he'd ever gazed into. They were purple, well, more like violet.
"You look nice," It was said and Rei smiled at the compliment even though she told him to say that. "for a man that is." He laughed once again seeing her smile turn into a frown so suddenly and then seeing her once stunning eyes, burn with fury.
"That's. Not. Funny." She said sternly.
"I'm sorry. I was only kidding." Jadeite had his hands up in defense.
"Apology NOT accepted." Rei said walking out of the door throwing her helmet on.
"You gotta be kidding me! Come on, you can't be serious."
"Which way is the Transportation Room?"
"A longs ways. Mind if I escort you?"
"Oh you little badger. Why must take interest in me so suddenly?"
'Badger?' Jadeite laughed once again. This was a princess and he's a prince. It was odd how he was exchanging such un-formal talks. He only did this with the presence of his four best friends and that was only when they were alone.
~*~*~*~
Once they reached the transportation room, Rei twirled around to meet Jadeite with a glamorous grin, although hidden by her helmet. She took off her helmet covering her head and stared at Jadeite eye to eye. His eyes were filled with so much comfort. He wasn't like any other male she'd met. Rei gave him a hug and Jadeite was somewhat startled but eventually, returned the embrace.
"Thank you so much for helping me go through with this and understanding. It meant a lot to me. I don't know how I ever could repay you." Said Rei, releasing the embrace.
"Well, you could lay a kiss right there." Jadeite said playfully pointing to the left part of his cheek. He was kind of surprised at his remark and giggled at it. Rei only shook her head in a playful disappointment sort of way.
"Jadeite, Jadeite, Jadeite. What am I going to do with you?" After that, Rei gave him a peck on his cheek. A satisfied grin grew on Jadeite's face as Rei stepped onto the transportation device.
"Okay, I'm ready."
"Yes, of course. Let's see here." Jadeite started to fiddle with the button's as Rei stared at him gratefully. He was a quite handsom and charming man. More of a friend now. Part of her wished that she didn't have to leave, but she had to. She had to get back to Mars before something terrible happens. "Just about done here.there." Jadeite moved his head towards Rei's gaze and smirked. Rei broke the gaze hesitantly.
"Uh, y-yes of-of course. I'm ready."
"Just say where you want to go; 'concentrate' real hard and you're there." Jadeite said sadly.
"Okay, here it goes." Rei sighed heavily. ":Please, take me back to my bed chamber in Ma-"
"Wait!"
"Jadeite, I need to get home." Rei frustrated. "I need to get out of here before someone comes bursting through the door and-"
"I know, I know. I just wanted to give you something to remember me by." Jadeite reached into his pocket and brought out what appeared to be a golden heart locket with a ruby in the middle. "It's a locket. It was my mothers and I want to give it to you. There isn't a picture or anything in it it's just.yeah."
"It's lovely, but I really think you should give it to someone who's really important to you."
"Even though we've just met, you are kind of a truly important person in my life now." Rei was surprised at his remark.
"I'm thankful for that and our new friendship and all but- I just can't take something this extraordinary from you."
"You're right, it's special to me and so are you. I want you to remember me."
"But I will remember you no matter what."
"Just take the locket." Said Jadeite handing the locket to her.
"No."
"Take it."
"No. I won't take it. I don't deserve it."
"Damn you're stubborn." Jadeite muttered. "You're right, you don't deserve it. I couldn't let someone like you keep a hold of it."
"UGH! What do you mean someone like me?! I can keep hold of something just as valuable as this locket. Here, give me that." Rei took the locket from Jadeite's hand and placed it around her neck. Then she looked up to Jadeite's now satisfied face features and sighed. "Well here," Rei took out one of her star earrings and placed it in Jadeites bare hand. "It's not my mothers, it's mine. May you remember me always and we remember our stubbornness forever; cause I did hear that mutter just a second ago. Now I must leave. So long."
"So long young princess."
"Actually I'm 19 so I'm not that young." Jadeite laughed yet again.
"Well bye my much 'elder' princess and never forget me for I will never forget you."
Rei smiled and with a wave of farewell and the right words of concentration, Raye was gone at that very second and left Jadeite gazing at the spot where the beauty once stood.
~*~*~*~*~
"My room!" Rei rejoiced happily not that she was now in her room and as happy as ever. She looked over to where she'd left her transformation pen. "Watch out Rei. You're soon going to turn out like the Princess Selenity, careless and hardly ever concentrating." Rei told herself.
Even though Rei joked about this quite often, she meant no harm. She knew Selene was not that bad, just annoying at times. Then again if it wasn't for Selene, Rei wouldn't have met a new friend, a handsome one indeed. Even if she just met him, she felt that there was more than just a fresh new friendship. She grasped the locket hanged around her neck that was given to her by the attractive prince and stared at the Ruby stone surrounded by the golden heart. In fact, she knew it was more than just friendship. She knew that there was something extra there. Something she couldn't quite bring to mind yet. Just... something.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AN: Sorry if Rei seemed OOC. I have a reason for this! Hmm, who is that man Jadeite was talking to? He sounded 'important.' Okay readers! I confused myself reading this chapter, I made a few changes of words and I like this chapter better. Review please, thanks! You did however had the time to read it so might as well review it!
"Just let me go and I promise I won't EVER come back or speak a word of this! And, you don't have to either! Just say I got lose or something!"

"My room!" Rei rejoiced happily not that she was now in her room and as happy as ever. She looked over to where she'd left her transformation pen. "Watch out Rei. You're soon going to turn out like the Princess Selenity, careless and hardly ever concentrating." Rei told herself.
Even though Rei joked about this quite often, she meant no harm. She knew Selene was not that bad, just annoying at times. Then again if it wasn't for Selene, Rei wouldn't have met a new friend, a handsome one indeed. Even if she just met him, she felt that there was more than just a fresh new friendship. She grasped the locket hanged around her neck that was given to her by the attractive prince and stared at the Ruby stone surrounded by the golden heart. In fact, she knew it was more than just friendship. She knew that there was something extra there. Something she couldn't quite bring to mind yet. Just... something.
