own nothing!...'cept my sanity...wait no...lost that in a black jack game...damn...
She walked down the marble hallway. Her father had called her to his study room, while her mother was visiting her cousin, minako. No matter what, she had no choice but to go. Her mother did not seem to know, and even if she did, would she even try to stop him?
She sighed, scared as she knocked on the old wooden oak doors, that was engraved with her father's symbol. They opened from the inside, as the gaurds walked to the outside, and closed them. Putting a spell on it, so nothing could be heard from the outside.
Her eyes trailed the floor before a rough hand brought her chin up to face the eyes of her father. His eyes, scared her, showing the emotion of lust, and his breath had a air of of a drunk. She tried to look away from him, but couldn't, he wouldn't allow her.
"Now, now. All good girls must obey their fathers." He gave a hoarse whisper, as he brought his head down, and began to kiss his way to her chest. His hands went to the back of her dress, and began to undo it.
"I wont let you get away with this," She whispered, before her brought his hand and back handed her. She learned, along time ago, not to cry from the pain he caused.
" You would never do such a thing, you whore. For you see, I controll everything in this universe. And nothing anyone could do to stop me." He whispered in her ear, before pulling her to the desk. Her snapped hsi fingers, and everything disappeared, leaving it clean, and enough room for...
He threw her down onto the old, pollished, hard wood desk, and undressed himself, and got on top of her. He gave her a evil smirk, before her started his daily routine. Evey day, this would happen, and she would die more and more each day.
But she knew that once she turned sixteen, she would be free, and would be sent to her rightful planet. She was the daughter of the Neo-Queen serenity, who (dispite what happened in the series) lived ont eh moon, and everything was like the silver millenuem.
Her and Edyinum (forgot how to spell it!) married, and gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. This girl was to be princess of Saturn much to everyone's suprised. But after Chaos, everyone was reborn, all but Hotaru. They all thought that this girl would be Hotaru, because they had the same abirtudes.
But she wasn't. She wasn't even a scout, or so they thought.
This would be the last day of her continuoues torture, but her father. She walked to his study, knowing her mother was working. Through out this time, she had gained a hatred for her mother, for not noticeing the small pugged growing on her tum.
She knew she was pregegant, but no ne else seemed to know, not even Pu. No one seemed to care. Because everything was perfect, nothing could be wrong. Specially not their King.
The doors, open, and the routine comensed. Everything was over. She walked out of the room. and around the palace. She watched as the servants packed her things, for her trip to her planet. She walked past the moo people skating on the moon ice.
Sighing she made her way to the secluded woods of the garden.She sat down at the Ox-eyes, and smiled. Ox-eye, meaning hope. Had indeed given her the boost she needed every day since before she reached puberity.
But it was after that stage in her life that her father had gained a new lust for her body. Much to her disspleasure. Sighing, she let tears of sadness and regret fall down her face.
She heard coughing, as a young man tried to clear his throat. Letting her know of his presence. "Can I help ou sir?" She asked, looking at the flowers.
"Are you the Princess of the Moon, and Saturn?" He asked, she nodded, looking up to the man. Her breath caught in her throat, and vise versa.
"I am. I am Princess Hiromi, of the Moon. As you already know. Who are you? If I may be blunt to ask."
"I am Kai, son of the Duke of Saturn, and I was to meet your aqquaitance, before we are to leave tommorrow." He stated, as she nodded, looking back to the flowers.
He sat next to her, and watched them as well, "Ox-eyes, hope. " He stated.
"You're not usually this open I presume?" She asked him, picking up a buttterfly.
He stared at her shock, before nodding. "We are bethrothed aren't we?" She asked, shocking him even more.
"Yes. But I do not expect you to be the perfect wife, for no one is." He stated, trying to be kind.
"I do not expect the same. But I will not bed with you." She stated, standing up, and watching the butterfly, fly out of her hands.
He looked up at her,"Most young women would jump at a chance to bed a man, who is to be king." He whispered to himslef, looking back at the flowers.
"I am not pure sir. Tell anyone that, and this whole thing is off. I do not need a king to rule my rightful planet." She stated, glaring down at him.
"Yes, but then only scouts can rule without a king if they wish it so. And you are not a scout." He stated, standing up to face her head on.
"And who told you that?" She asked, eyebrow raise in question.
"Your parents, and the rest of the court." He stated, matter of factly.
" It figures the ones who are to care the most, can care even less to know something that was hidden." She whispered, turning her head away, looking over the feilds of flowers.
"What does that mean?" He asked, curious.
"I am not a scout sir. Not one of the planey of the moon which I'm born too. But the scout of the Eclispe of all Moons. I am Sailor Eclispe. " She stated, as a soft layer of rain began to fall down.
"I didn't think it rained on the moon." He whispered, shocked, at both the rain and her.
"It doesn't, but mother does it, so the flowers will grow better. Let's go inside,I wish to change." He nodded, as they made thier way to the palace. They stood on the patio, waiting for servants to bring them towels to dry off with.
The servants came, and they soon dried off, before going seperate ways to change. Seemly they had met up again, but this time at the dining table. She nodded in a 'hello' to him, as he did the same.
He had noticed that her gazed had only strayed to glare at the king. Like she ahd a hatred for him. And everytime she had felt the Duke's son's gaze upon her, her's would return to the food placed in front of her.
The night grew late, and everyone retired, for the last night of the Princess's life on the moon. Early that morning, Everyone waited for the departer of Hiromi's. She made her way to the landing, holding a bouguot of flowers.
She gave a hug to each scout, and their men. Hugs to the servants and advisors. And last a hug to her parents. She didn't want to give them hugs, but it was all just for show. First her father, for she didn't want him to be the last person she touched.
Pulling away from his hug, she saw the look in his eyes. Sighing, she moved on to her mother, giving a hera hug, but never a kiss on the cheek like Serenity did to her. Her mother looked confused at first, but had shrugged it off. Sighing Hiromi gave her the flowers, and stepped into the carriage.
Kai signalled to the driver to go, before trouble could brew.
Serenity looked at the flowers, wondering, what they meant. Turning to Ami, she asked that question. Ami sighed, knowing full well what they meant when the Princess handed them to their queen.
"Scarlet Geranium, Duplicity. and Labumum, neglect. My Queen, she's basically saying that you had neglected her when she needed you the most. And that she does not trust you anymore. I don't think she trusts any of us anymore. But...I wonder why?" Asked Ami, looking at everyone.
"Who knows." Stated the King, knowing fully who and why.
It has been several week,s and Hiromi had locked herself into her study room, working hard, putting everything in order. But at the same time, hiding her growing womb. Kai had tried to get to her, several times, but she had spelled the door, from anyone from coming in.
Dispite this, they had became close friends. Even if both was distant to each other, as well as others. She had also refused any contact with the other planets. She had Kai deal with them. She knew that if they see her as she was, then all would be over.
Months had come and gone, and same routine happened just about ever day. She was none five months pregegant. And yet anyone was the wiser. Her and Kai had married two weeks after her arrival, for the sake of the planet. After all bethrolas don't need to be in love to marry.
She had yet to bed with him, and she knew the people were growing more, and more worried. But she had a reson, he supected. And he would respect that, if he just knew what it was. He didn't know anything, for she wanted seperate rooms, until she was ready.
He stood out on his balcony, looking over the gardens. When he heard a noise, he backed away fom the railing, and waited. It was Hiromi, he watched her, as she walked out to the middle of the garden, and sat down on one of the benches.
He watched her, as she cried for a few minutes, before he silently made his way down there himself. He silently made his way behind her, and was shocked. Her womb was bigger then he had ever seen it. "When did this happen?" He asked her.
She jumped, wiping her tears away as she remained looking at the garden. "Remember when I had told you thatI was not pure?" She asked, he nodded his head. She didn't need to see it, she knew he remembered, "Ever since I was young my father had been..." She trailed off, hating the memories more and more.
"He was the one?" He asked, watching as she nodded.
"I wish to keep her. Even if you do not. She is my daughter, and I will not let any one hurt a child that has great potintional to be something , be killed because I didn't stop this from happening to me." She whispered, letting new tears fall.
He sat down next to her, and hugged her," I will let know one take my little girl away from me. We'll just tell them that she was preborn or something. Because all of Saturn's royal are." She nodded, agreeing with him.
"What's her name?" He asked, as they watched the sun coming rising.
"Her name is Hotaru, my little firefly." She whispered, falling asleep against Kai's shoulder.
