Glass Slippers Chapter 2: "The Future?"
Princess Kore watched silently from a distance, as Endymion escorted the moon whore into one of the palace gardens. She had never liked any of his mistresses. Why was it that he able to take a mistress, when she was forced to be faithful to him?
'It's not fair! I never wanted to marry him. I would've been so happy if I had just stayed with Prince Ceylon.'
Prince Ceylon...he was my destined.
We had grown up together on our respective moons: Kore and Ceylon. He was kind-hearted and compassionate toward his people, like his parents were before they died. When we were still young children, my parents would invite Ceylon over to eat, and sometimes stay the night, just so he wouldn't feel lonely and afraid. It didn't matter to him that his consul and caretakers surrounded him, because none of them could relate to him, only my family and I could understand him. When he was older he began to court me, and we began to fall in love...
Then our moon began to receive rumors that the rulers of Earth were planning a raid on us for the rich, exotic jewels we house. Mother and Father knew that Earth was full of greedy and corrupt people that would stop at nothing to get what they wanted, even if it meant destroying a planet. Soon after the rumors circulated, a messenger from Earth came to confirm the news. He told us that if I were to marry the Crown Prince of Earth, Endymion, our moon would not face destruction. We were considered lucky since most planets were not given a choice. Kore was spared simply because of its people, which were rumored to rival the Moon people's beauty. My parents gave me the decision. I eventually chose to marry Endymion, and spare my moon and its inhabitants. I was never able to say good-bye to Ceylon.
At that moment, a single teardrop made its way down Kore's masked face.
"Endymion! Endymiiiooonn! Where in the Moon's name are you taking me!?" Usagi cried playfully as she tried to pry Mamoru's hands from her eyes.
"You'll see..." he told her they stopped in the center of the garden.
He was glad large hedges used for privacy surrounded the garden area. Taking advantage of her vulnerable state, he began to gently suckle at her earlobe. She emitted a low moan of pleasure. The numb feeling began to encircle her once more, this time with more urgency. His hands left her face as he began to explore her soft, milky bosom. She arched against him, rubbing against his already uncomfortable bulge. He groaned and nipped at the earlobe that he was so diligently suckling, Usagi cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain. Mamoru quickly whirled Usagi around so that she rested comfortably between his straining arousal. She clawed at his back, wanting him to be closer to her, while gasping at this new feeling. He drugged her with his intoxicating kisses, and her moans became more frequent as she gave in to his demanding lips. Without knowing, she began to gyrate her hips to his arousal, heightening both of their pleasure. He growled and pulled her leg up to allow better access to her warm core. She purred into his ear, as her arms encircled his neck on instinct. He pushed her up against one of the hedges and thrust his captured arousal into her already wet panties. They both cried out rather loudly at this newfound pleasure. Endymion didn't notice that the ring on his finger began to glow steadily.
"Enddyymmmiiooon...Endymionnn...please..please take me..." she cried boldly, while moving her hips to meet his thrusts.
"Prince Endymion! Are you in here? The Queen is looking for you!!" an unknown male voice called. They both stood, frozen from shock. Mamoru let go off Usagi and prepared to answer.
"Yea..Yes! I'm in here, stop yelling already!" he growled irritably as he tried re-arrange his clothing so that it would look halfway decent, he prayed that Serenity was doing the same thing.
"Endymion! There you are! Your mother has been looking all over for you!" Nephrite said harshly, not noticing Serenity.
"Yea well, I had to get some fresh air, the stuffy atmosphere in there was killing me."
Nephrite laughed, "Oh come ON! You love being in there, surrounded by all the pretty women you can take at one time!"
Mamoru really, truly wanted to chop off Nephrite's head for saying such a revealing thing in front of the woman he was moments away from taking. He glared at him while motioning to Serenity with his eyes. Nephrite formed an "O" with his lips as he finally noticed her, whomever she was, she obviously wasn't happy with the comment by the look on her face.
"Of course, Endymion, I was just joking. We all know that it's Kunzite that gets all the ladies around here." Nephrite said cautiously. Endymion glanced over at Serenity to see if his words were soothing her. OKAY...obviously he was just making it worse.
Serenity became more and more cross every time this man spoke. "Kunzite," isn't that the man that Minako-chan had a fancy for? The men from Earth were infuriating! She was getting more fed up by each passing moment.
"Good sir! You have yet to reveal your identity to me." Serenity regally stated, she had yet to notice that her dress was still hiked way above her thigh, giving both men a revealing look at her long, slender legs.
Mamoru noticed this and quickly pulled her dress down, to save both of them some embarrassment. He was rewarded by a quick slap, as she tried to bat him away.
"What in the name of the gods are you doing, Endymion! You shall not touch me, unless I permit you to do so!" Serenity cried in frustration.
Nephrite raised an eyebrow at her, for she must not know to whom she is speaking.
"My lady, my name is Nephrite, I am an Earthen General and one of Prince Endymion's soldiers." He said when he noticed her crescent moon symbol.
"I am Princess Serenity of the Moon kingdom." She replied, still slightly irked.
Nephrite approached her and kissed her hand.
"Goodnight, Princess Serenity."
"Goodnight, General Nephrite." She said smiling. The people of earth all seemed to have a sensual air, all their own, it was intriguing to her, and she could never stay upset at any of them.
Mamoru glared at Nephrite, while trying to convince himself that it was simply a custom, nothing more, nothing less. With one last nod at Mamoru he left, Mamoru was hoping Nephrite would make an excuse for him, as he always did in a sticky situation.
"Quite a ladies man, are we Endymion?" she said quietly once Nephrite had left.
Mamoru cringed at this, "No! No, I'm not! I swear..I mean I've had a couple of mistresses in my lifetime...but I swear it's not what you think! He was just joking!"
"Endymiiiioooon..ohhh Endymion! Thuuurrreeee youuuu are shheeeeweeeetie- piieeee!" Kore cried happily as she as she attempted to run to him in her clearly intoxicated state.
Mamoru looked appalled at Kore, as she came toward him swaggering around this way and that. He looked feebly at Serenity, begging her to listen to his side before she left him. Kore raised an eyebrow at Usagi while she embraced Mamoru with her arms for either stability or possessiveness.
"Who is this!?" Serenity yelled, motioning at Kore.
Mamoru was about to answer, but Kore got there first, "ME!? Whhooo arree yoouuss?! My namme issh Korre...I..II...II.. ammm Ennddyymioon's wiffee."
Usagi gasped in horror at this last remark, she looked accusingly at Endymion, before running off, she would go anywhere just to escape this nightmare. She had almost given herself to a married playboy! Tears of shame clouded her eyes as she ran away, she would go anywhere just to escape. She tripped while wiping her eyes, she sat there weeping at her foolishness.
'I hate myself! I hate myself!!!!' she thought while she beat the ground in defeat.
"Serenity! Serenity, WAIT!" Endymion cried while running after her.
Usagi scrambled to her feet, she wouldn't see him anymore. She was going back home! In the process one of her glass heels came off of her foot, she didn't notice in her hasty retreat. She kept running until she met open field, where she raised the ginzhuishou and cried, "Silver Moon Crystal Pow....umppphhh!" She was unable to finish, as Mamoru had just tackled her to the ground, pinning her to the grass, wild flowers blowing this way and that.
"I won't let you go, Serenity. I'm sorry! I'm sorry I didn't tell you! If you let me make it up to.."
"NO! It's over! I thought maybe I liked you, but I don't! I don't like you! In fact, right now I despise you!" she cried while choking back tears, one escaped and slid slowly down her face.
He watched in sadness at the grief he caused her, "Is it over before it even begun, Serenity?" he murmured softly, nuzzling her cheek where the tear rested.
"Why did you do it? I've heard of the Earth people and their reputation...but...but I thought...I thought you were different from them." She choked out, tears now freely flowing down her face.
"I never meant to trick you. Kore and I are married, not out of love. My parents arranged my marriage to her, I wanted to refuse but I had no choice. I've never slept with her." He said truthfully, slowly wiping away her tears with his gentle hands. She struggled weakly against his touch.
"Let me go, Endymion." She said trembling as she bit back another stream of tears.
"No Serenity. No. I will NEVER let you go. I think that you and I are...soul mates."
"What are you talking about?!" she spat out.
"My ring, look, it's been glowing ever since we were in the garden."
"So!? Why do I care? Just leave me, and let me go home!" she cried pitifully.
"No, just listen. When I was little, my grandma gave me this ring and told me that it was 'The Lover's Knot,' it will change a different color according to fate."
"That's foolish! A simple ring cannot determine fate!" she scoffed, tears drying up at his silly remarks.
"Well, I believe it! White means friendship, blue means partnership, and red means soul mates...partners whose fate is written in the stars." He said while showing her the still glowing red ring.
"I cannot believe in such a thing, Endymion. Even if I do believe what you said about Kore, what about the other women...your mistresses?"
"I have had some mistresses in my time, but they mean nothing to me. If you were mine I would never hurt you...I would be faithful and cherish you."
"Oh! Like I haven't heard that before." She rolled her eyes and bit the side of her lip.
He looked intently at her and said, "I don't know if I can tell you anything else..." He lowered his lips to hers and began to passionately kiss her. She nipped at his lip in reply, Mamoru withdrew and gazed at her sadly.
"Will you just think about it? If you will give me another chance, Serenity I swear I'll make it all up to you. If you decide that you will even look at this sad lovesick fool again, then please...come down to see me. I will spend time with you and teach you of Earth." He told her as he lifted them both to their feet.
"I don't know why...but I will...give you another chance. But, just know Endymion, that I refuse to be your mistress." She replied dusting off her dress, avoiding his intent stare.
He smiled softly, "Thank you, Princess Serenity." He said while he knelt in front of her, and kissed her hand.
She nodded at him, unable to form a sentence within her mind.
"Good-bye, Endymion."
"Perhaps I will see you soon, Miss Moon." He said while getting to his feet.
She smiled sadly,
"Yes...perhaps."
"Silver Moon Crystal Power! Return me to the Moon Kingdom!" she cried as light enveloped her body, she took one more gaze at Mamoru before she closed her eyes, tears began to slowly well up.
Mamoru waited until the last traces of white light were gone. He gazed up at the full moon. 'I just might've lost the best thing that's ever come to my life...' he thought as he walked back to the palace.
On the way there he tripped over something hard... "What the hell?" he cursed as he felt to find what he had tripped over.
A shoe? A glass slipper? He knew immediately that it belonged to Serenity. He held it to his chest, and prayed that her return be soon. With this slipper, he somehow felt a sort of closure, for he knew she would return to him. He would wait for her until that day came.
