MY ANGEL IN THE DARK

BY YOUR SIDE:

Serenity ran down the hallway and to the generals' domain. She stopped in front of a large wooden craft door. "Jadeite, are you in there?" Serenity gave a soft knock on the door. "Go away," was the response. "Jadeite, please, may I come in?" Serenity pleaded. "No!" the voice answered. Serenity humped, "Jadeite I don't care if you say no, cause I am still coming in!" she grabbed the doorknob and opened the wooden door. She was stunned to see Jadeite carelessly ran and curled into a ball at the corner of his room. "Go away, Serenity!" He yelled again, but instead of retreat, Serenity moved closer to him. As she about to touch his shoulder, she gasped. "What happen to you?!" Serenity sat beside him and looked at his bruised face. "Nothing really, I'm fine, just boy's stuff, you know," he holds back. Serenity felt sorry for Jadeite as she ran out of his room. "Well, even Serenity wouldn't care for me," he thought sadly as he stretched his legs and sighed. He's about to get back to his bed when someone stormed in to his room. "What the?" he thought. "Stay away from Serenity! Haven't you had enough?!" the harsh voice really made his ears hurt. " Whatever, Kunzite," Jadeite said annoyed. He was about to pull his blanket when Kunzite jumped up to his bed and straggled him. "What are you..*Cough* doing?!" Jadeite held his hands to his neck in defense as Kunzite hardened his grasped. "Stop it!!" Serenity unconsciously let go of the bowl of medicines in her hands as she ran up to Jadeite's bed and grabbed Kunzite from behind. Kunzite growled as he released his grip and turned to face Serenity that was crying. "Don't cry, Sere, he was mean to you, I was just protecting you," Kunzite lied and hugged the girl. "Let go of me! Please leave Kunzite," she said and pointing her finger to the exit. "Fine! But you know, that boy is dangerous!" he growled as he gave a sharp glance at Jadeite before he leaved. "Are you alright?" Serenity asked as she took up the medicine and gently tapped it at the bruised area on his face. Jadeite coughed slightly and rubbed his neck frequently. "Yeah, a little sore though," he smiled and looked straight at Serenity's pretty face. Her teeth bit her lower lip showing that she's really concentrating at her work, her crystal blue eyes were so clear and if he looked closely, he could really see his reflection in them. "There, all done, how do you feel now?" she backend from him. "it feels much better, thank you Sere." Serenity grinned widely and got off his bed. "You better rest, I'll be seeing you in two days time!" she waved at him before sliding the door shut. "Thank you, Sere," he whispered and fell asleep. Kunzite was standing behind the wall that separated Jadeite's room from the other generals' rooms. "Serenity, one day, you shall be mine!" he gave a small sinister smile and returned to his quarter.

~ 10 years after ~

Damus took a strolled in his place, loneliness conceived every inch of the castle as the darkness and coldness mixed in the palace atmosphere. His heart was torn in to two when his sixteen-year-old daughter asked about her forgotten mother. It worsened when she asked who she is. The questions that were forbidden but she didn't know and she must not know. Serenity was beautiful; her long golden pigtail flew back and forth as she ran and what's more, her wings had also grown along with her, making her features looked unique from any other the girls her age in the galaxy. A chosen angel to spread happiness through out the dying planet. Her smile seemed to bring joy to his dark life. His cold-heart melted with just a sound of her giggled. That's how special his little angel was to him. He gave a sighed and walked to his chamber not far away from his throne room.

Serenity grinned happily as her prank on Jadeite seemed to work. She giggled out loud as the man chased her in an alarming speed. "You poured a bucket of water to a handsome and caring guy like me?" he teased her as he got a hold of her slimmed waist. Serenity gagged out loud as she heard the words handsome and caring. "Why you little rascal," Jadeite sneered and started to tickle her petite body. "Ok, I give up," Serenity laughed uncontrollably and held out her hands in surrender. "Hah!" jadeite let loose of his grip and to his surprise, Serenity gave a smack on his shoulder and she ran, "tag, you re it!" she shouted. "Why that little minx," he whispered softly and began to ran again.

Jadeite P.O.V:

Ten years I have been with her. I see her grow more like a goddess everyday, her radiant smile and luscious lips seems to entrance me every time I am near her. If you could read my thoughts Serenity, you would see that I love you more than anything else in this galaxy. How I am longing to kiss you. Let me be the first for you…my darling Serenity, for I have loved you since the first day I gazed into your clear, blue eyes. Since you held me in to your arm!

Serenity P.O.V:

Am I lying to him now? Why can't I show him, my true feelings for him? But what if he doesn't love me? What if he just sees me as his friend or worst as his little sister? Our age is obviously nothing for I am 16 and he is 19. Can't he see that I was there beside him everyday! I am clapping one hand, he doesn't love me.

Jadeite saw me crying in depressed and reached out his hand to touch my wet cheek. How I love the feel of his soft palm on my skin.

"Ehem, am I interrupting something?" Kunzite slowly approached them. His eyes narrowed in jealousy. "Serenity, his majesty wish to see you," he stepped between the twos and grabbed a hold to her arm. "Kun, what are you doing?" Serenity began to feel the pain of his grip. "Kun, you're hurting me!" she complained and struggled at the same time. "Kun, let go of her!" Jadeite pushed Kunzite out of their way, spontaneously Kunzite loosen his grip as he tried to maintain his balance. "How dare you, Jade!" Kunzite yelled out but to his frustration, Serenity and Jadeite vanished together to see the Lord of Darkness.

Lord Damus sat patiently waiting for the arrival of his beloved daughter and her four generals in his throne chair all decorated with black studs and dicrot stones, situated high at the pavement that held 30 steps. Each two steps were complete with the fire bowl, lighting each track of stairs towards the royalties. Serenity sat on the cushions provided and a set of silver, transparent, satin curtain hang around her secluded area. Not wanting his majesty's guests to stare at her. Covered with all the richest silk in the galaxy for her comfortable sitting place.

"As you all know, silver crystal is a legend, but if it's a legend, why cant my power be release in full force?. I want you Zoisite to investigate about this crystal. Nefrite, since my daughter's birthday is coming soon, I want you to invite all the available bachelors through out this galaxy." Lord Damus gave his manically laugh. "Daddy, please," Serenity protested and blushed of embarrassment. Jadeite and Kunzite groaned at the same time. Both felt uneasy of the thought, men surrounding their precious angel. "Kunzite, you're the strongest among all the generals, I want you to take care of that pesky Moon Advisors, Luna and Artemis. They have been spying on our plans long enough!" Kunzite bowed slightly. "Jadeite, as to my knowledge, were you from Earth?" Jadeite nodded slightly. "I was an earthling but my people were not fond of me, I stole the earth kingdom's spacecraft and traveled far beyond. I wasn't that good in handling that mechanism and crashed here in Negaverse. Her highness saved me and here I am," Zoisite gave an annoyed yawn. "Boring," he teased. Serenity smiled at Jadeite and they stared at each other for a moment. "Very well, Jadeite, I want you to go down to Earth Kingdom and settle a treaty to be our allies," Lord Damus ordered. "As you wish, sire," he bowed. Waving his hand, he dismissed the generals to let them carried out their mission. "Daddy, can I follow one of the generals to go on the mission, please," Serenity interrupted. The generals froze in their heels. Lord Damus thought for long time until he gave his permission. Serenity grinned happily and flew down to the generals. She came across Zoisite. "Sorry Zoi, I hate doing researches and surveys." She whispered in his ear. Zoisite shrugged. She moved towards Nefrite. "Um, you'll be handing out invitations for my birthday party, its not polite for me to join in." she smiled sexily. Kunzite held his head high and smiled to himself in thinking Serenity will begged him to join in. Holding his hand slightly, Serenity whispered huskily in his ear. "You re going to kill people. I'm sorry, I hate to see blood." Kunzite narrowed his eyes and groaned softly. She walked slowly towards Jadeite and she hold on tight to his arm. "Daddy, I'll accompany Jade to go down to Earth." Serenity leaned her head at his shoulder. Jadeite stared at her. "She chose me." His mind yelled out.

Jealousy in raged in his heart as he planned on doing something he should have done along time ago to Serenity. Kunzite teleported himself back to his chamber and planned to take a revenge on that stubborn girl he had felt in love with.

Lord Damus stepped down in to the smelly old dungeon that was situated under the palace. He walked passed the torture chamber and to the prison area where he stopped at one of the cell and smiled to himself. "How's my favorite prisoner this evening?" the chamber was dark and cold but somewhere at the corner of the prison wall, a crescent moon symbol shone brightly. "Where's my daughter!" a low voice was heard. "Well, she's around, happy, smiling and better yet, she looks like her mother every second." The man in the cell groaned. "You shall have my revenge Damus, I swear by the Moon and Heaven, I will have my revenge for my wife!" Damus laughed at his words and left the dungeon. The figure stepped in to the dim light from the above cracked; King Seranium narrowed his eyes as he watched Damus closed the dungeon's door. His cream colored hair was a bit dirty but his face still hold the light that made his features glowed. His indigo colored eyes shone brightly. "Serenity," he murmured softly.
