Chapter 2
Four years later
Yosho faced Ryoko and the two fought it out before Ryoko retreated to her ship and flew off. Yosho got in his own ship and followed Ryoko. On his mind always was Selenity. He was planning on giving up the throne to be with her, but after he defeated this space pirate. His ship flew after Ryoko's at high speeds through the solar system firing at one another occasionally. When he saw that they were close to the Moon Kingdom where Selenity was he panicked, 'No! I won't let that demon hurt her or her people!"
Yosho pushed Ryoko toward the planet Earth. When she hit the atmosphere he went toward the Moon Kingdom. He knew he couldn't stay long here. Yosho knew that that the Earth's atmosphere wouldn't damage Ryoko's vessel to much and she'd be ready to battle so he made a quick stop on the moon with his ship still running. Yosho got out and saw a gold blur coming in his direction. He was ready, but what he saw as it got closer was that it was a child, a female child and she was running toward him. He bent down as the child got closer. She hid behind him and said fearfully, "Please help me! That monster is after me!" Yosho got up in a protective stance before the child and looked to where she had come from and asked, "What monster?" Just as he finished his question a grotesque looking creature flew at him. He got out his sword, the Tenchi-ken, and sliced the creature in half and it turned to dust.
Yosho turned back to the frightened child and bent down and what he saw on her forehead near gave him a heart attack. On the little girl's forehead there was an upturned gold crescent moon. He skimmed over the child's faced and looked into her violet-blue eyes and knew instantly, 'This child is my and Selenity's child. I just know she is.' "How old are you little one?" He said as he looked in her innocent eyes and she said to him, "I'm four. I'm Princess Serenity. Who are you? Oh my, my manners, I thank you for saving me." Serenity bowed and Yosho said, "My name is Yosho. . . .Masaki," Yosho thought the name was perfect and finished, "Young princess. It is a pleasure to meet you." A moment later and musical voice called out and made Yosho's heart skip a few beats, "Serenity! Serenity where are you angel?!" Serenity perked up and cheerfully called, "Mama! Mama! I'm over here. This nice man saved me!"

Queen Selenity ran to where she'd heard her daughter's voice and stopped dead in her tracks at the sight before her. Yosho, her sweet Yosho, held their daughter protectively in his arms and Serenity had her arms around his neck. Yosho turned when Serenity called behind him, "Mama!" He looked at Selenity and couldn't believe how beautiful she was and said, "Selenity it's been awhile." Selenity nodded and replied, "Yes it has. Four years is to long Yosho. What do you think of her?" Yosho looked at his daughter and she smiled at him and he knew his heart was hers. He turned back to Selenity and smiled at her and said, "She is beautiful Selenity." Selenity felt her eyes mist up. She composed herself as much as she could and said, "Serenity why don't you go find your cousin Minako and go play. I wish to speak with your savior a moment." " 'K mama." Yosho reluctantly released his daughter. She kissed him on the cheek and then ran back to the palace.
Once Serenity was gone Yosho opened his arms and Selenity needed no further invitation and ran into his arms and wept. He hugged her and said, "Why didn't you ever tell me Selenity? I love her very much, but why?" Selenity sighed and said, " I couldn't find a way, plus *sniff* I didn't want your father to find out and you not get the throne. You could do so much good there. I did not want to ruin your chances." Yosho held her close and said, "It is over. I have dropped my claim on the throne. Ayeka can have it, though she is still very young. I love my sister, but not as a wife as my father has saw fit to say I have to. I love you and you alone, I'll not let his stupid laws keep us from each other anymore. I have a final task to complete before I come to you. I must leave to do it, but I will return I promise." Selenity pulled from Yosho and nodded, "You will? Thank you. I have missed you so and Serenity needs her father." Yosho kissed her and then returned to his ship and went to Earth to deal with Ryoko.

Three days later Yosho returned to the moon. His ship was badly damaged, but was staying together. Selenity caught Yosho as her fell through the door of his ship. Two of Serenity's guards carried the Jurian to the palace infirmary. Little Serenity saw and ran up to her mother and asked, "What happened mama?" "He was in a fight and badly injured. He is here to be with us and to heal." Serenity was curious and asked, " Be with us? What do you mean mama?" Selenity picked up her daughter and carried her to the infirmary and to Yosho's side and asked Yosho, "Yosho are you well enough to help me talk to Serenity." He sat up and with a strained smiled nodded. Serenity was set down and with her never-ending trust Serenity got on the bed and sat in Yosho's lap. He smiled and Selenity smiled back and said, "Serenity this man. . . .this man is your daddy. He's your real father." " How mama?" Selenity sighed and said, " We'll explain it when you're a teenager sweetheart." Yosho smiled at Serenity and said, " Believe her sweet. I am your daddy. Believe in your heart."
Serenity looked at him and then to her mother and back and felt something in her heart and she said, " I believe you daddy, mama." Serenity hugged Yosho then she extended an arm to her mother and said, " Come mama. Come join us." Selenity wept and then went to her greatest loves in the whole solar system.
