"After the Rain" Chapter 7
Usagi stood patiently at the opera staircase to be introduced to their guests. She had been to many parties and balls in her day, but never one quite so elaborate. There were hundreds of dangling glass chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, each one filtering the light so that rainbows of colors waltzed on the walls. The sky dome was a clear glass, offering a prime view of the sunset, and soon of the moon. People came from not only within the Milky Way Galaxy, but from as far off as the Planet Mau, to celebrate the double-birthday of the Moon Queen and her fair daughter. She noted how beautiful each of the Senshi looked, from both her mother's court and her own, their dresses either pale or dark to reflect their planetary colors. Her mother especially stood out, as she always did, so regal with an almost unapproachable beauty. It was hard to believe that this was how the clumsy Usagi of the past turned out.
"Introducing the Moon and Earth's Kingdom's Inner and Outer Court." Said an announcer in the background.
"Neo Queen Mercury of the Planet Mercury." She watched as Ami-san glided like water down the staircase.
"Neo Queen Venus of the Planet Venus." Minako-san followed slowly after her, Usagi noted how she could make anyone feel at ease.
"Neo Queen Mars of the Planet Mars." Rei-san had a fiery red dress on, it was very pretty and complimented her long raven-colored hair, Usagi mused.
"Neo Queen Jupiter of the Planet Jupiter." Usagi wondered if Makoto-san would be the life of the party like she usually was.
"Princess Saturn of the Planet Saturn." Usagi had not seen Hotaru-chan until just now. Hopefully, later we can have some time to talk, Usagi thought excitedly, for she had not seen Hotaru in a while.
"Neo Queen Uranus of the Planet Uranus." Haruka-san looked stunning as usual, she was always a little flirty at these kinds of events, to make Michiru-san jealous.
"Neo Queen Neptune of the Planet Neptune." Michiru-san was the epitome of what a lady is, thought Usagi, I want to be just like her.
"Neo Queen Pluto of the Planet Pluto" Puu was here too!! She hadn't seen any of the outers in such a long time! Puu was so great to talk to, you could tell her almost anything, she's so wise!
"Introducing the King of Earth, King Endymion and the Queen of the Moon, Neo Queen Serenity." Her mother and father are such a wonderful couple. They are both so elegant and sophisticated.
"Introducing the Princess of the Earth and Moon and her court." She was a little nervous, and giddy at the same time. A thought crossed her mind...who was to be her escort?! She hadn't thought about it at all today.
"Princess Juno of the Asteroid Juno, with her escort, General Eos." If her Senshi were being escorted by the Generals, she would probably have Oberon after all.
"Princess Pallas of the Asteroid Pallas, with her escort, General Kawada." Her palms started to sweat in anticipation, how she wished to Mars that time would stop!
"Princess Ceres of the Asteroid Ceres, with her escort, General Davida." Oh GOD! OH GOD! Ceres began her assent down the staircase with her escort, please let Vesta get Oberon!!
"Princess Vesta of the Asteroid Vesta, with her escort, General Alyono." Her face was distorted with fear and distress for a split second, after seeing her escort would indeed be...Yukio.
"Introducing the Princess of the Earth and Moon, Princess Lady Serenity and her escort, Head General Oberon.
It was show time. She smiled warmly at Oberon and at the people, and curtsied before taking his hand. Their eyes locked for a moment while they were both bowing to each other, suddenly her face became a shade of pink as he took her hand in his, he saw this and smirked. She tried hard to push the warmth in her cheeks down, but the harder she tried the pinker her face became. She could only hear the applause of the people, and see the rainbows the chandeliers emitted on the walls, her body was numb with the exception of her face, which she was sure was glowing a brilliant red, and this was only two steps down the staircase! She continued to smile as she gracefully slid her free arm down the banner of the stairwell.
When Usagi and Yukio had taken their places across from each other on the ballroom floor, the music began. Her father came up to her and asked her for a dance, she gladly obliged, anything to escape the slow torture Yukio brought to her. Halfway into the dance Yukio asked to cut in, her father agreed, much to Usagi's distress. He grinned wickedly at her, turning up the heat in her face at least two notches.
"Why are you blushing, Princess?" General Oberon asked as if he was concerned.
"It's just a bit warm in here, that's all." she said with a plastered smile on her face, and a glint in her eye.
"Are you sure there isn't anything else?" He answered with a raised brow.
"Actually, I'm a bit thirsty." She admitted to him truthfully.
"Let me get us something, wait here for me, okay?" He asked. She watched him take two champagne glasses from a waiter. When he returned she gratefully took one and said, "Thank You." with a smile.
"You're most welcome. You know, I never did wish you Happy Birthday, Princess. Perhaps later I can show you how happy your birthday could be instead of just telling you." He added evilly.
Her face became red as she choked down the whole glass of champagne after hearing his crude comment. He watched in amusement as she placed an empty glass on the waiter's tray and took another.
"That's what I can't understand about you Oberon, sometimes you are a complete gentlemen towards me, and then sometimes you act like...like a total guy, for lack of a better word!" she said while she worked on downing her second glass of champagne. The Asteroid Senshi all managed to conveniently waltz with their partners over her way, while signaling with thumbs up, and winks.
"That, my dear, is because..." he was cut short by a gentlemen asking Usagi to dance. She fervently agreed, and after finishing her second glass, gave it to Oberon to hold.
Many men cut in to dance with the beautiful young princess, until finally a younger man asked for a dance. Usagi felt the effects of the alcohol starting to take hold, but agreed to dance with him anyway. He had a white robe with navy tassels at the chest, an aqua belt at his waist, and a red tear drop shaped jewel at his head, his hair was a stunning white with some of the most beautiful eyes she'd ever seen.
'Hmmm...he must be a Prince from the Planet Fera." She thought in her drunkenness.
She took his hand and suddenly, a million memories rushed back to her at once. She could see all of the images clearly, even though they seemed to come faster than the speed of light. She remembered everything at that moment, how they met, how she befriended him as a child, how she fought for him, how she loved him...her crescent moon began to glow with a soft warm light. After the memories were finished surging through her mind they began a slow dance.
"Maiden..." his silky voice said.
"Elios...where have you been? Why have I not been able to remember you? " she asked through half-lidded eyes.
"When children become adults, they are unable to resurface any of their old childhood dreams, they forget all about Elysion, whether they want to or not. I was surprised to see that you even were having dreams about Elysion and your past battle with Nehelenia." He stated truthfully.
When she remained silent, he continued,
"When a child becomes an adult, I cannot make contact with them, but you are my special exception, Maiden, for I returned all of your dreams and memories of me. Not a day has gone past without me thinking of you my dear Usa-chan, I hope you will forgive me for not coming for you sooner." he added.
Usagi slowly shook her head moving a stray bang onto her face, "Elios, I would wait an eternity to just be with you, I've craved your company since we first met. I was heartbroken for the longest time, but after a while I couldn't remember who it was that I was in love with, but this certainly must be from growing up. If I had my way, I would be heartbroken for the rest of my life if I could remember the memories we shared."
Elios smiled at her for a moment, and then moved the hair from her face. His touch was hypnotic to her, she gazed at him, her breath was bated in anticipation. He lowered his eyelids and brought her body closer to him.
'His body is so warm, please don't move. I want to be with you this way forever.' She thought warmly.
He looked up for a moment and saw the man that escorted her glowering at the two of them. She felt the warmth between them dissipate, and looked up in bewilderment.
"Is something the matter, Elios-kun?" she asked softly.
"No, it's just that I need to speak with you in private. Would you mind if we went outside to a bench?" he asked her, she quickly agreed and started walking towards one of the open exits.
General Oberon saw the conversation going on with the boy and Usagi, he did not like it, not one bit. He saw them leaving and decided to follow, little did he know that the Asteroid Senshi were tailing right behind him.
She grabbed two glasses of champagne before stumbling outdoors.
"Elios, please take one." She offered with a smile.
"How many glasses have you have Usa-chan?" he asked noting the flush on her cheeks.
"Just 2 so far, one time my Senshi and I held a drinking game and I had about 10 shots!" she said proudly.
He smiled at her inebriated state, and graciously accepted the drink. He expected that she may be exaggerating somewhat, but then he thought about how fun it would be in a drinking game with her.
'CONCENTRATE!!!' he scolded himself as he almost got a nosebleed.
She parted her rosebud lips at him, almost in an act of concentration, and waited for him to tell her, it was almost to much for him to bear.
"I need your help Maiden, darkness is beginning to take over parts of Elysion again. King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity have been communicating with me since it started to happen a few weeks ago. They can do nothing to help me, except to send Sailor Moon and the Asteroid Senshi defeat the evil."
'This is the 'one!' I'm going to marry him!' she thought dreamily, hardly able to concentrate on anything he was saying.
"So I can come live with you!? I mean the Senshi and I." she cried excitedly.
'Is she comprehending anything that I am saying?' he asked himself.
"Yes, but it would not be a vacation, and only until you save the world from darkness." He said, immediately regretting it, for he wanted her to stay with him.
"There is a second part...it won't be easy for you either. The emotional and physical tasks you must overcome will be immense." He said grimly.
'Physical, huh?' she thought naughtily.
He sighed wearily, "An oracle came to me in one of my visions. She told me that the New Moon Soldier would have to choose between lovers to decide the fate of her future self, and of Elysion. She told me there was a possibility that no matter which destiny the Soldier decided to choose, she would meet darkness. But, if the Soldier succeeded, she could live with her chosen mate for eternity, and save Elysion."
She wouldn't back down, she would protect her friends no matter what it cost her.
The Asteroid Senshi looked at each other, recalling that the oracle he spoke of was the same that came to visit them. She was an older woman with flowing hair wearing a hooded robe. She came to them in their sleep, and ordered them to awaken as the protectors of their Princess. She told them of Usagi's new journey, but sentenced them to silence, for on her birthday one of the chosen lovers would reveal fate to her...
Suddenly, they popped up from the bushes they were hiding in, but General Oberon decided it would be better to stay in hiding and observe what would happen next...at least for the time being.
"Hey there! We couldn't help but hear your conversation..." said Sailor Juno. The others nodded their heads solemnly at her statement.
Elios smiled and said hello, apparently unaffected by the fact that they were eavesdropping, while Usagi was still watching Elios intently, unable to steer her glance away.
"Elysion will die without cleansing, won't it?" Sailor Pallas said sadly.
Elios nodded, "And I will certainly perish without Elysion."
Usagi gasped in horror at this last remark. She was serious all of a sudden, she glanced at her Senshi for approval. They nodded their heads, knowing the role they would play in Elysion. This was their true Princess, they thought, she is strong and unafraid. They would do anything to protect her.
"Alright Elios, how soon can we leave?" Usagi said with determination on her face.
"We need to leave tonight, the portal to Elysion is the Pegasus Fountain in the center of the labyrinth." He said.
She was ready, but he saw that her soul would long for the comfort of her mother and father.
"You can still talk to your parents in their dreams, don't fear my Maiden." He said gently. She nodded with a sad smile, this would be the first time that she would fight without her mother by her side.
"We can't wait any longer now, let's go everyone!" he said.
They began to walk into the labyrinth, the Senshi reassuring Usagi that they would be home before she knew it. General Oberon couldn't bear the thought of being without his Princess to pick on, he followed them through the labyrinth, for he would fight for her too.
When they reached the Pegasus fountain in the center it was close to Midnight. Elios spread his arms wide in front of the fountain. The statue slowly began to shine a brilliant white light.
"Walk into the fountain, one at a time. Hurry! I can't hold the portal open that long." He called back at them.
Without question Sailor Ceres and Sailor Juno began to wade into the fountain's water. Usagi gasped as they disappeared beneath the black velvety waters.
"Usa-chan it's your turn, don't worry it will be fine" Elios reassured her.
She nodded and entered the fountain. She was surprised to she that although she was about shin deep in the water, she didn't feel anything. The water was not even making her dress or shoes wet! Her crescent moon began to glow softly. The ruffles and lace in her skirt began to blow backwards. When she reached the statue, she felt a tug. Closing her eyes she continued forward. Sailor Pallas and Sailor Vesta quickly followed her. Elios began to walk towards the fountain, slowly, still deep in concentration. He entered the waters and went towards the statue. Once General Oberon saw the boy disappear, he ran towards the statue, full speed. He felt a tug on his body, as he fell unconscious...
End Chapter 7~
Author's Note:
Phew! Finally finished with the longest chapter to date! Woo Hoo! Thank you for everyone that has reviewed and read it!! I love ya!~
My first reviewer seemed to have been knocked off the list for some reason. On FF.net's homepage it said something about a review problem..could you resubmit it? ^_~ I did read it on my e-mail though. Yup, it is indeed a Chibi Usa/Elios fanfic.
Usagrrl- Thanks for your information on how to reply to comments, I wouldn't have known otherwise, lol!(I can be dense sometimes ^^) From what I've written so far, Yukio can be more fun to work with than Elios can be. He's kinda the badass type guy (and the semi-immature type!), while Elios seems to be more mature and calm. Yin and Yang..what can I say! Anyways, I'm glad you like it!
Sailor Moon Fan- I'm working on it! ^_^ Now it should make a lot more sense.
Angel!!- Sweet! I guess you liked it. ^_^ lol! Yup, I'm planning on it being an Elios/Rini fic. It will get pretty dark in future chapters though. (Duh Duh DUHHH) I've never done any writing like this before, so I'm really happy you guys like it! ^^
Galactic Crystal- Thanks!!! Of course there's more! ^_~ Lol!
