Her Pure Heart
Chapter 10
Usagi's P.O.V
It had been a week since Raye had been sent to Elysium and things were still tense between he two groups of scouts. The outer scouts had taken the position of my main guardians well Venus trained the two girls so that they could actually protect me. There had also been not attacks from shadow like creature that seemed to target me specifically. This had both Mamuro and Haruka incredibly worried, as even though I can protect myself in this life they don't like it. "Princess?" Michiru asked pulling me from my thoughts. Looking up I blushed noticing that everyone was staring at me.
"Sorry," I said softly as Mamuro placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Are you alright Usako?" He asked gently as I looked up at him and nodded.
"I will be I just have a lot on my mind lately." I explained, and he nodded before wrapping his arm fully around me. I smiled softly and rested my head onto his strong shoulder allowing my eyes to close slightly as my thought were drawn back to the memories that were now surfacing. I was happy to finally get to know more about my past, but I couldn't help but feel sad at times. Our former selves had been so restricted by the rules of society. They could barely even have privacy for fear that their reputations would be tarnished. They had feared to press the boundaries that were set for them, and yet they were not afraid to express their love for each other.
"I fell that Usagi should be moved soon. We do not want her to be forced to fight anymore, so it would be prudent for her to be with one of her soul mates. They are best equipped to protect her." Pluto stated in a serious tone as I opened my eyes back up.
"How though. I do not want to lose my parent of this time," I said softly causing everyone to smile softly.
"You won't, but we will modify their memories so that they believe you are already engaged, which you are, and that they approve. This way you won't lose them, but they will be protected." Sestuna explained gently as I thought on her words. Looking up at Haruka and Mamuro the both nodded their agreement. Taking a deep breath, I gave them a small nod.
"Alright… but who will I move in with?" I asked softly as Haruka shifted closer.
"We believe it would be safer for both you and Small Lady to be here with us. Mamuro would of course be welcome at all times, but as your scouts we are your first line of defense against any enemy." Sestuna added as I felt Mamuro squeeze my hand.
"I will also be moving into the building just two floors down so that I can be closer to you Usako," HE whispered and kissed my temple.
"Nonsense. We have a fifth room in the suite, you will take it and split the rent with us," Michiru called not leaving room for argument as she gracefully stood and left the room. I quickly noticed that soon it was only Haruka, Mamuro, Chibiusa who was sleeping curled up on the couch across from us, and I.
"Mamo-chan…" I whispered softly.
"Hmmm?" He says as I look up at him.
"I want to see Raye," my eyes meet his and he looked startled at my request.
"Why Usagi?" he asked in surprise.
"She is still my friend… a-and I want to understand why," I admit softly as he sighs and helps me stand. His clothes fade away to reveal his armour as he lifts my hand.
"You need to become Serenity for us to safely travel to Elysium," He said and kisses my knuckle causing me to blush and nods. Closing my eyes, I felt the crescent moon appear on my forehead as my clothing faded away into my royal silk white dress, "Uranus, wake small Lady we will bring her with us, so she may finally see Elysium and meet the guardian."
"Very well," Haruka stated and kissed my forehead as she moved to our future daughter and gently woke the small girl, she picked her up and came closer to us as Endymion took both of our hands and we left the room in a flash of golden light. I smiled as the sweet wind of Elysium brushed across my skin. Turning to look at Haruka shifted closer to I could kiss her cheek and gently kissed Chibiusa's forehead.
"We will be back soon," Endymion stated as he took my hand and guided me to a large building. Taking a shaky breath, I stepped inside as I was led to a basement area that I could only assume was the dungeon. I could hear my heels click as I walked, and my nerves grew. Finally, we stopped in front of a cell as Endymion gave me a small bow and whispered, "I will be just outside the hall. If you need me simply call and I will come and get you." Nodding he stepped out as I turned to finally look at my former scout.
Raye's P.O.V
I sighed and looked around the cell I was in once again and sighed. I had been here for almost a week and I was going crazy. I had done a lot of thinking and realised that all my actions up to know I would have been tortured and killed on my own plant if I had done so in the past. I had been trying to figure out how I could make it up for my actions towards my princess. Groaning I sat up and began to do push ups, keeping my body in shape so that if I was allowed to once again protect my princess I could actually keep her safe. I continued for a few hours until I was panting and needed to rest. I looked up and sighed my lunch already there, but I had not seen who had brought it. I never did. Slowly I began to eat as the afternoon sun filtered into my room. As I finished I set the tray down when I was finished and laid down onto the small cot to nap. It was a few hours later that I heard a soft call of my name.
"Raye," Serenity called as I woke up my eyes wide as I looked up at my Princess. Immediately I moved to my knees and bow
