Sorry this took so long. Lots of things happen in this chapter, the longest one to, but still short.
Endymion sat brooding at the table, Usagi, through the whole meal did not look at him
once, Kunzite on the other hand wouldn't stop looking at him. After breakfast was dismissed he
tried to find Usagi but she was nowhere.
"Endymion may I have a word with you?" Endy turned around and stood face to face
with Usagi's father Merlin.
"Yes of course."
"Have you gotten her anything, yet?"
Endymion looked at Merlin strangely, "who?"
Merlin sighed, "of course she wouldn't tell you. She hates her birthday, it's the day her
mother left."
Endymion looked hopeful, maybe whatever he did wrong would be corrected if he got her
a gift. "What does she like?"
Merlin laughed, "swords, knifes...just about anything dangerous, oh and roses."
Endymion smiled he had the perfect gift. With that thought in mind he goes and searches
for what he needs.
Usagi again peaks her head around the corner before walking on. She couldn't see him
right now, she was sure that Kunzite had already told him by now. She didn't want to face his
temper right now, not on this day. Usagi felt someone watching her and turned around abruptly,
behind her stood a women with long blonde silver hair, smokey gray eyes, and a face Usagi could
not forget, "Mother?"
The women smiled, "yes it is I."
Usagi feel to the ground crying, "Why?" The woman ran over to Usagi and gathered her
in her arms. "Don't touch me." Usagi struggles free, the woman slowly gets up. "Why after all
these years would you come back?"
"I came when I could."
"When I was already grown up! I turn 18 today, I'm finally a woman but I act more like a
man, because I never had a mother when I was younger!"
"That wasn't my fault."
"Oh I'm sorry did someone make you leave. Where you forced out? Or could you not
just stand me."
"No! don't you ever think for a minute that I wanted to leave you."
"What did you want? No don't answer that, I don't want to hear anymore of your lies. I
just want you to leave, your good at that."
The woman looks down at Usagi with unshed tears in her eyes, "Weather you like it or
not, I am your mother and I will always love you." She didn't wait for an answer she just
disappeared, leaving Usagi there crying on the floor. Strong arms wrapped around Usagi and
lifted her to her feet. Her arms immediately went tightly around the mans waist. After a few
more minutes of crying she lets go and looks at her protector, "Thank you."
"Don't think me yet, your mother came a long way to see you and all you can do is tell her
to leave."
"I didn't know what to do, it was quite a shock."
The man gave Usagi a slight squeeze on the shoulders, "I know, I should have warned
you, but I never found the right time."
"Its okay father, I don't blame you for her leaving."
"Maybe you should, if we hadn't broken the law then maybe she could have stayed."
"What do you mean?"
Merlin sighed, "Lets forget it for now, come outside, I hear the moon is shining bright
silver."
Usagi stopped walking and looked up at her father, "The moon is brighter than the sun?"
Merlin held out his hand, "Come Usagi let us go and witness this event. For I believe it
will bring many and glorious surprises."
"Father what are you hiding?"
"Just come outside Usagi, all will be explained."
Endymion had sent his own personal servant with very descriptive instructions to give to
the black smith and the jeweler. Nothing would ruin this for her, his gift would be perfect.
Endymion went to the gardens where he could complete his gift, but instead he found Kunzite
sitting on a nearby benching obviously waiting for him, and it was apparent something was on his
mind, he would look at the ground and then look at Endymion and then look at the ground again.
"I thought I might find you here."
"Kunzite what has been bothering you all day?"
Kunzite stood up and gesture toward the bench, "I would wish it if you sat down for this,
my lord." Endymion stomped over to the bench and sat down, "Well?"
Kunzite stood there for awhile not knowing where to start, so he went for the most direct,
"Endy, don't get mad but Usagi came to see me last night. Endymion looked at Kunzite strangely
"Friends see each other all the time, why should I care?"
Kunzite let out the breath he'd been holding and sat down next to Endy, "Well I'm glad
you weren't mad. I mean it was quite a shock to be awoken that way."
Endymion turned his head sharply, "What way?"
Kunzite stood back abruptly and took a couple of paces back , " Well you see she kind of
well sort of..."
"Kunzite spit it out!"
"She landed on top of me in bed." Fearing for his life he took a few more steps back so
there was a good five feet between them. Endymion jumps up, "SHE WHAT!"
"Now Endymion calm down."
"What was she doing in your bed!"
"She did some kind of magic, she just appeared there, one minute I'm asleep and the next
thing I know, I'm awake and she's sitting on top of me. Nothing happened, I swear, I'm not that
stupid, she just wanted to talk."
"In your bed in the middle of the night!"
"She had a dream."
"She could have came to me!"
"Well she kind of asked about you and Beryl, but don't worry I told her nothing bad."
"She shouldn't have been in there in the first place. SHE"S MINE!" Endymion rushes up
to Kunzite and grabs him by the neck. "If I ever find out that you did anything to her, I will hunt
you down and do things that the Devil himself would cringe at. Do I make myself clear."
Kunzite as much as he could, nods his head yes. Endymion releases his neck and smiles,
Now what did she say about me?"
Kunzite just sighed shaking his head and sat down next to Endy. While Kunzite was
telling of last night, noone noticed as the light around them was changing from golden to silver.
The plants around them seemed to glow, everything took on a more brighter color. It wasn't until
Usagi and Merlin walked up did they stop talking.
"Have either one of you been paying attention." Endymion first looked up at Usagi who
held her head down and then over to Merlin, who was pointing towards the sky. Endymion
slowly turned his head upward and gasped, " it's beautiful."
"Usagi look at the moon." Usagi's head snapped up at the sudden appearance of her
mother. "I see a shining circle."
"No I really want you to look at it." Usagi stared at the moon and soon flashes of
pictures came into her view. The first one was of her mother standing in front of a castle, then
she saw Luna in her human form, the one she was forbidden to have on earth, why, Uasgi had no
clue. Her dad's words brought her out of her trance like state, "What do you see?"
"I saw mom and Luna." Merlin tilted her chin back up, "keep looking" Instantly Usagi
saw another picture, this one of four girls and the princes four generals. Usagi saw a face in the
moon that seemed to be coming closer, she couldn't make out who it was. Usagi concentrated on
the moon and trying to see that face, and then it became clear, it was her. A bright light filled that
gardens and when it faded Usagi stood in the middle in the same white dress her mother was
wearing and a crescent moon mark on her forehead.
"Like I said, I am your mother and you can't run from who you are. You are Princess
Serenity of the Moon."
Usagi shook her head tears escaping at the corners, "No she's not real, I can't be a
princess."
"You can and you are. You are the most powerful person in this universe. You posses
the power of the Silver Crystal and I have given you all the magic I know. Your eighteen now,
I've thought you all I know, it's time to go with your mom and live on the moon.
Usagi looked horrified at her father and then looked over to the still shocked Endymion
and the gaping Kunzite. She was a princess and not just any princess but the mythical Moon
Princess. She didn't want to leave Endymion, she was just starting to get to know him and where
would they live if they got married. He needed to be on Earth and she had to be on the Moon.
Why could she never be happy for more than a week. "When do I have to leave?"
"When you are no longer needed here."
"Can I have some time alone please." Merlin and her mom nodded and disappeared,
Kunzite hugged her and walked off. Endymion still sat on the bench shocked. "Endy would you
please go also."
"Usagi please..."
"No Endy, I need to be alone for right now." Endy pulled Usagi in a tight embrace and
captured her lips with his, " I will always love you." And then to he was gone. Usagi curled into
a ball where Endy last sat and cried. She cried for being who she was, she cried for all the times
she was used, but most of all she cried because she loved Endy."
"Well, well, what have we here?"
Usagi glared into blood red eyes, "What are you doing here Beryl?"
"I've come to celebrate your coming out party Princess and I even brought people to help
in the festivities, recognize any of them." Usagi didn't recognize to of them but the third was a
younger man from her town who used to have a crush on her. He had eventually got married and
they became friends, she knew for a fact this man was incapable of hurting others. "What have
you done to him?"
"Gave him everything he ever wanted."
"You bitch!"
"Yes, I know and I'd love to stick around for the party but a certain prince needs my
attention." Beryl disappears in black smoke laughing the whole way, as soon as she was gone the
three men moved towards her. Usagi not one to run from a fight stood her ground. When the
first one was close enough she kicked him in the face, which did nothing to faze this guy. They
guy Usagi knew disappeared and reappeared seconds later behind her encircling her holding her
trapped. Usagi screamed causing her crescent moon to glow again but nothing was fazing these
men. Usagi tried to think up some spell to use but every try produced the same effect nothing,
and she couldn't think of any counter courses, because this was obviously very good dark magic.
Usagi was started gasping for breath, she was losing. What's the point in possessing a crystal of
great power if you didn't even know how to use it. She wouldn't have to worry about being
Princess, she was going to be dead..
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
"Jupiter Supreme Thunder Clash!"
"Mars Fireballs Surround!"
Usagi was dropped to the ground where she immediately passed out.
