Author's Note:
I am revising all of my stories. So this is just an updated, edited, and cleaned up version of the old story. Enjoy
Return of the Moon Princess
Chapter Five:
Cosmos slowly walked back to her room, Pluto was probably furious with her, and she knew the minute she got to her room Pluto would come and yell at her. When she saw the look of horror on the scout's faces she had felt great, and that made her feel bad in a way. She shouldn't like the fact that they were horrified at her, it should upset her, but it didn't. She got into her room and sure enough Pluto was already there waiting. "You are foolish Serena! Why don't you save us all the favor and de-transform now, let that kill you instead of an enemy!" Serena's eyes widened. She had never heard Pluto so mad, or informal for that matter. "Do you know how much that weakens you? Even when you transform back, it takes away at least years worth of strength, so already, by just being here, you have lost TWO YEARS WORTH OF STRENGTH! Maybe I should take you back to the time gates until the war starts. They are all training now, and they are expecting it, they will do fine without you in their way distracting them!" Pluto stopped yelling when she saw the tears streaking down Serena's face.
"I'm sorry Pluto, I just couldn't handle them hating me any longer, it was ripping my heart apart...can't you understand that? I will train non stop until the time comes..." Pluto walked over to Serena and hugged her softly.
"I'm sorry my Queen, it's just that it worries me when you get weaker, what would we do if you died in this war? It would be a terrible tragedy...one that I wish not to witness." Cosmos nodded and Pluto opened up the portal,
"The battle will start in two months; train well and hard my Queen." When Cosmos finally looked up Pluto and the portal was gone.
Cosmos looked at her self in the mirror and felt her heart yearning for her old life back. The one where she was just the 14 year old Serena Tsukino... Not Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity, Super Sailor Moon, Eternal Sailor Moon, or even Neo-Queen Serenity. Just the innocent and ignorant Serena Tsukino... She brushed the tear away from her cheek and took a deep breath. It would be or no help if she sat there dreaming of the past. She stood up straight and walked back out of her room and down the hall. She walked into the throne room were Darien was sitting and smiled at him.
"King Endymion." She said and bowed in front of him. He quickly grabbed her arms and pulled her up.
"What are you doing that for Serena? No one else is in here, not even the guards." He said and smiled at her. She pulled away from his arms and smiled back at him,
"I know it's just that...Pluto doesn't think I should get too comfortable here. The scouts all know now, and...If I get to close to you guys it's going to hurt that much more when I have to leave again." She made sure to keep the tears out of her eyes and she saw him nod.
"I...know...but do you have to go back?" He asked and Cosmos turned away from him,
"Yes, it is my destiny Darien, and I have never hated it more, why is it...that our destinies...have always got in the way of each other." Darien touched her shoulder gently and she turned back around to face him. His heart broke to see the tears on her face and he quickly wiped them off. "I'm sorry to cry in front of you, but we don't have much more time, the war will begin in two months, and we probably will only fight it for a couple of weeks...knowing our combined power it could be even shorter." Darien nodded and Cosmos turned around and went back to the training room. She sat back and watched as the scouts trained and smiled when she saw how powerful Rini was. I'm sorry that I can't be here for you my daughter Cosmos thought and couldn't help the single tear that escaped down her face.
End of Chapter
Author's Note: Yea...it has been such a long time, and I'm sorry that I never finished this story, I don't know what happened. But I feel like I have to finish this one in order to write another Cosmos one...which I fully intend on doing when I finish this one and The Battle of the Forgotten Planet. So here I am, finishing the Return of the Moon Princess. Hope you enjoy!
