Her Pure Heart

Chapter 4

Haruka's P.O.V

*Flashback*

I looked down at the sleeping princess on my bed and smiled softly. I was so glad that I had taken her with me, those pathetic inner scouts never did protect my little soul mate properly and it infuriated me. They had done their best back in the silver millennium to keep us separate until the queen stepped in. They had hated to see her with me and they would always force her to leave whenever we were alone, and they pushed her toward Endymion. I gently touched her cheek as she groaned softly in her sleep.

"How is she doing?" Trista asked from the doorway.

"Better, her memories as coming back to her," I replied looking up at the scout of time.

"I am glad, she will need us with this coming battle," Trista said softly her eyes loving as she stared at the sleeping Princess. I tightened my hands into fists and tried to keep myself calm. The thought of her having to fight again was hard for me. I wanted to just steal her away and protect her from the word.

"She should never have had to become a scout," I said seriously

"That is true, but Luna made a mistake, but now all we can do is support her, and guide her." Trista said as Usagi's eyes fluttered open.

"H-Haruka….?" She whispered sleepily as I smiled and helped the young blonde sit up. I pulled her to my side, kissing her forehead.

"Hello, my little Usagi," I whispered back as Trista bowed slightly and left the room. I smirked now that we were alone, as I pulled her hair down and kissed the young blonde tangling my hand into her long hair. Usagi moaned softly her face flushing as I pulled away. "how do you feel?"

She looked up at me with large eyes that soon filled with tears as she wrapped her arms around my neck crying softly. I held her tightly allowing her to cry out her emotions; until finally she was able to calm herself down, "I-I'm s-so sorry…. W-when my memories were unlocked those of you were still locked away… I-I think Luna made sure that t-those would not be returned to me when my prince was found… I-I never wanted to forget you, I always felt like a part of me w-was missing," she whispered against my chest.

I felt my anger for the scouts and now her supposed "guardian" for their treatment of my princess. I tighten my hold on her as suddenly I heard footsteps storming up to the room and shouting from the hall. My eyes narrowed as I summoned my transformation pen and tucked her safely against my side as the door was kicked in. standing in the door frame were Endymion, Mercury, Jupiter Mars, and Luna.

"Usagi," Endymion whispered meeting my eyes. We stared at each other for a moment, before I nodded allowing him to come forward. We shared a soulmate even though we did not always like each other, but we both were incredibly protective of the innocent blonde. He knelt beside the bed and touched her hand. Usagi looked up her eyes still shinnying with tears. This caused him to narrow his eyes, "Usagi? Are you hurt?"

She quickly shook her head and whispered, "N-not physically… Mamuro, m-make the inner s-scouts leave…." She pleaded softly and Endymion, or rather Mamuro nodded.

He stood up and his sharp eyes landed on the three scouts and Luna, "The three of you leave. Now." His voice let no room for argument causing the girls to look on in shock.

"You have your orders," Venus' voice broke through the air as the three scouts and Luna left quickly. Venus eyes met mine and we nodded in understanding before coming to stand next to us. "I am sorry princess, Neptune informed my that Luna blocked part of your memories, and she did not have the right to do so. If I had known…" She trailed off. I felt Usagi pull away from me and shakily and hugged the other scout surprising us all. Venus quickly hugged the princess back, holding Usagi tightly.

"Please don't blame yourself Mina, you have been so nice to me ever since we met, I could never be mad or blame you," Usagi whispered hiding against her most trusted scouts shoulder. Mina gently began to run her fingers through Usagi's long hair smiling softly.

"So then; you returned all of her memories?" Mamuro asked watching them as I gracefully stood up.

"Yes; now I wonder why you did not do that in the first place your crystal would have the power to do so," I stated quietly smiling at Venus as she treated my princess gently.

"I was forbidden to by Luna; according to her the outer scouts were no reincarnated and it wold cause Usako pain so I followed their words and left her memories intact. Venus was the only one to even inquire about you and when I explained she was incredibly angry and suspicious. We were planning to unlock the rest of her memories once we had defeated our last enemy but they all left to visit Rei on her birthday at the temple." He explained, "I never agreed with them trying to keep us apart then trying to push her towards me when they realized they couldn't; they are her guards they have absolutely no say in her life."

"I could not agree more. How those three have acted is completely unprofessional." I stated as suddenly a young child rushed into the room

"U-Usagi!" The small pink haired girl called out as my princess gasped and pulled away from Venus, so she could knelt down and hug the small girl tightly.

I looked over at this child confused as Venus smiled, "Haruka, allow me to introduce Small Lady Serenity or as we call her Chibiusa. She is the future daughter of Usagi, your, and Mamuro." My eyes went wide at her words. Usagi stood up holding the young child's hand.

"Haruka Mama!" She smiled and quickly hugged me. I tentatively hugged her back looking at my mate and the prince for help. Mamuro just laughed and picked up the girl as Usagi shyly returned to my side.

*End of Flashback*

I sighed softly as we finally arrived at the arcade. The drive had been in comfortable silence as I reminisced about the day I met my future daughter. Usagi gave me a worried look as I got out of the car and opened the door for her, "I'm okay love just thinking about when I first met Chibiusa." This caused her to smile as she took my hand and allowed me to pull her up and guide her inside. We quickly found a booth and sat down, taking her hand from across the table.

"I still think about finding out what Luna had done," Usagi whispers. I knew she still trouble with the three scouts some days about our relationship, and that it hurt her. I hated that they did this to her, but Luna was the worst of them all, she was constantly criticizing and belittling Usagi. She tried to make her act the way Luna wanted her to act, and she was completely against my relationship with the younger blonde, always pushing her towards Mamuro. It infuriated me beyond belief, but now she was being forced to live at Raye's temple as Chibiusa would not allow the cat anywhere near her mother to be.

"It will be okay love, they cannot stop us this time," I whispered and gently kissed my hand as three people approached the booth.
