Her Pure Heart
Chapter 6
*Flash Back*
Usagi's P.O.V
I smiled as I made my way down the grand stair case. Looking out at my friends and subjects that had come to the moon palace to celebrate my birthday and coming out party. Finally reaching my mother I took her hand as she delicately led me to the thrown. Sitting down delicately I blushed as I spotted Endymion and Uranus talking to each other. The two had met only days ago; and though they did not get along at first, they soon found a common ground in training and sword fighting.
"Tell me dear daughter." My mother stated softly snapping me out of my thoughts. Turning to look at the queen on her thrown I paused to allow her to continue, "Those two that hold your attention. The Earth prince and the Uranian princess. They are your soulmates are they not."
I blushed darker and nodded causing my mother to smile softly. Uranus and Endymion's attention were on me now; both smiling at me. Shyly I smiled back and gave them a tiny wave.
"Then I shall have to meet them and make sure that they can protect my dear daughter. Serenity please invite them to speak with me," She stated and motioned me to go and get them. Curtsying I delicately descended from the thrown and made my way over to them. Just as I was about to reach them I felt someone grab my arm and pull me to them. Gasping I looked up to see an unfamiliar man holding me. I bite my lip and tried to pull back, but his grip was far to strong.
"It is so nice to finally meet you Princess," he smirked and pulled me further from the crowd and forced a cloth over my mouth preventing me from struggling. My vision soon blurred as my body grew weak. I could hear my soulmates calling out to me as I felt hands grabbed me and pull me away from the man.
"Serenity," a male voice called out as I finally submitted and fainted.
Uranus' P.O.V
I looked back to see Endymion pick up our soulmate and carry her back to her mother. Turning around my eyes narrowed at the man kneeling before me. He was someone I was very familiar with, and hated. He had been my father's councillor, before he was charged with treason. "Orthos. You cowardly man." I snarled and drew my sword, "how dare you touch my soulmate."
"Oh, but Princess I did it for the good of our people! With the silver crystal in my possession the planet of Uranus would be unstoppable!" Orthos snarled, "And with such a beauty on my bed begging for me to fill her and please her how could I not!"
My eyes narrowed, but before I could attack Queen serenity placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "Orthos, coward and criminal of the planet Uranus. I here by charge you with attempted kidnapping of the princess of the moon kingdom, and plot to over throw its monarch. I here by sentence you to the void. You shall never see the light of day again." Holding out her hand the moon wand appeared with the silver crystal. Orthos's body began to glow as it was slowly erased the despicable man from view. I watched in awe of the true power that the royal family of the moon held. Snapping out of my stupor I quickly kneeled before the queen hand over my heart. This caused the older woman to smile, "Please do not bow before me; you are one of my precious daughter's soulmates. You need not to be so formal in my presence."
"T-thank you Queen Serenity…" I stammered and rose back to my feet. I bowed one more time and rushed to go and find my soulmate. I quickly spotted Endymion and the inner scouts at the foot of the thrown. Rushing forward and sank to my knees and gently took Serenity's hand. "Will she be okay?" I asked as the outer scouts stepped closer to us. Neptune kneeled beside me already in her Sailor Fuko.
"Allow me." She whispered as water appeared over her hand. It began to glow softly as she placed it over Serenity's mouth. Mar, Jupiter, and Mercury tried to voice their protest only to be blocked by Pluto and Venus as Neptune began to draw the potion out of my princess's body. She soon coughed her eyes fluttering open as Neptune pulled back placing the contaminated water in a jar Pluto held. Carefully I helped her sit, and soon pulled her into my arms as Endymion took her hand and wrapped his cape around her. "We were so worried Serenity," He whispered as I pulled back.
"W-what happened?" She whispered her voice slightly horse from the coughing.
"You were attacked love," Endymion said touching her cheek as we both helped her stand keeping her tightly pressed between us. Looking at the prince we both nodded to each other vowing never to let her be hurt again.
*End of flash back.
Author's P.O.V
Three people bolted out of bed at the same time from a shared dream or more so nightmare. Haruka had grabbed her sword as she looked around the room for any enemies. Once she was satisfied she was safe she laid back down her mind focused on the memory she had just seen. Across the city Mamuro was having the same problem. He hated that he was still reliving memories, and that he had to once again watch his beloved princess be hurt. Getting out of bed he allowed himself to transform into his alter-ego. Tuxedo mask quickly slipped from the apartment, planning to spend the night outside his princess's house.
Usagi shot up from the bed clutching her chest. She could still feel the effects from the dream and the sluggishness from whatever had been used on her. Panicked looked around the room trying to spot the assailant. When she did not spot one she sighed and got out of the bed and moved to her window. She smiled as the moonlight hit her body relaxing her as she smiled. Up in the tear beside her house Tuxedo mask smiled at his princess and slipped closer to the window before flicking a rock against the glass. Usagi gasped but smiled and opened the window for the masked hero.
"Princess," He whispered and bowed causing the girl to giggle. Letting his transformation fade he went to the blonde and pulled her flush against him and kissed her softly. The two fell back onto the bed and cuddled close. They spent the night talking; Usagi falling asleep just as the sun began to rise. Smiling Mamuro quickly transformed again and covered her up before slipping back out the window.
