Her Pure Heart

Chapter 14

Kunzite's P.O.V

I sighed and looked down at my sleeping lover and gently ran my knuckle over his cheek thinking back on what had happened in Elysium that had led us back to the large home that our prince lived in. it was a large spacious apartment just under the one the outer senshi's held. Luckily Zoisite and I did not mind the smaller room as we would sleep together, and the others took our princes room as he slept upstairs with his soulmates. Hearing a soft knock on our door I watched as Zoisites eyes fluttered open as I called out, "Come in."

The door opened, and my fellow knights entered as Zoisite carefully sat up his hair, which was normally held back in a tie, fell around his face as he looked around and rubbed one of his eyes sleepily, "Sorry we both could not sleep and felt it would be more useful of our time to come and discuss what it is we will do," Nephrite stated in his usual stiff approach.

"I still cannot believe what Luna did to my wife," Jadeite growled. I could nod in sympathy with the man when we had confronted our prince to learn that Luna had destroyed the scout's memories beyond repair and that Raye no longer knew her husband. The black-haired cat even had the audacity to claim that we were better off dead.

"I don't think that she has realised how badly she has ruined things for herself," I stated and pulled Zoisite to my side; the smaller man curling into me.

"Do you think we will be able to counter and correct what she did?" Zoisite asked looking over at the blonde knight.

"Honestly, I think between the two of us we may be able to figure something out," Jadeite replied as we fell into silence again.

"Do you think Naru will remember me?" Nephrite asked softly as we all gave the normally composed man actually looked scared. Feeling sympathy for his situation; I reached out and touched his arm.

"We know so my friend; what you had with her was real and once the situation is explained to her I know she will forgive you," I stated, and he nodded.

"I cannot believe how young serenity looked," Zoisite commented and I thought back towards the young blonde princess and smiled.

(Flashback)

Carefully I helped my young love stand as the four of us made our way over to our prince, "My lord," I said as the three royals turned and smiled at us.

"Generals," Serenity said and allowed her soulmates to assist her in standing, "I am so glad to see you are all well."

"We thank you your majesty," Nephrite smiled before the four of us knelt before the young girl, "we owe our lives to you and will serve you for as long as you need."

"None of that," she said softly and motioned for us to stand, "I brought you back; yes, because we need your help, because you deserve a true second chance. A chance to live as you have always wanted to."

"you are to kind princess," Zoisite said softly, "we will do all we can to assist you against this enemy."

"Thank you truly. We are in the dark as to who this new enemy is, the only thing we have been able to learn is that they fight with shadow creatures." Mamuro expressed and squeezed the princesses hand letting us know instantly that she had been the target of these attacks.

"Shadow creatures?" Zoisite asked in surprise causing everyone to look at him, "That is a trait that comes from my fathers' side of our family, the ability to manipulate shadow that is." He stated softly and blushed as he realized he had spoken out of turn. Quickly I squeezed his hand as my love looked down to his feet.

"None of that; if I remember correctly your father came from my home planet of Uranus, am I right?" Sailor Uranus said looking at the auburn-haired male. Zoisite quickly nodded in confirmation.

"Yes; though not of royalty himself he was a high general of Uranus and brother to commander Orthos. My uncle was the only one in my family skilled enough to call corporal beings to life using the shadows. Though I am not sure of what happened to him. He and my father had a falling out when my parents married," Zoisite explained softly; my suspicion grew as the three royal's eyes grew wide, Serenity's filling with fear.

"Princess Serenity? Does this name mean anything to you?" I asked as I stood up motioning for my other knights to do the same. I quickly felt Zoisites hand slip into my own.

"Yes…" she replied softly her own Soulmates slipping closer to her as our prince gently pulled off his cape and draped it around her, "It is a memory that we only recently got back, but at my coming of age part and the eve of our engagement I was attacked and nearly kidnapped by Orthos of Uranus; high commander of the planets guard. My mother, Queen Serenity, banished him to the void for his treason, but it could not possibly him. No one has ever escaped the void." The young girl looked fearfully up at Endymion and then to Sailor Uranus.

"Unfortunately, it would be possible for someone from my family princess, our abilities…." Zoisite corrected softly but could not continue as Luna's voice interrupted us.

"Now do you see! Bringing these traitors back to life will be our biggest mistake. It is why I sealed your memory of them!" The black feline screeched causing the rest of the scouts to rush over, "As your advisor and Guardian I demand you put them back into the stone and remove yourself from the Uranian company. The outer scouts have no right to influence you like this!"

All of us stared at the cat in shock. Who was she to demand anything from the princess of the moon. The highest being in the universe. Before anyone could say anything Serenity herself stepped forward and held up her hand her eyes glowing with the light of her own crystal as a voice not her own, but of her mothers flowed out for all of us to hear, "Enough Luna! I have grown tired of how you belittle my daughter and demand actions that only benefit you be taken. You are not her advisor nor as you're her guardian. You may have been mine, but never did I give you the job to dictate her life as you have done thus far. Your action against the scouts and my beloved daughter should be grounds enough to banish you to the void, but since Serenity does not yet have the strength to do so and she is still weakened from the resurrection of Endymion's guards you will be spared. But no longer will you be near her. Artemis will take your spot and become my daughter's advisor, and you shall only help him coordinate the scouts training. If I hear you have tried to over step any of my orders I will drag you down to the void myself. Am I clear Luna!" the Queen commanded the black feline who was practically shaking at the moment.

"Y-yes your majesty," Luna stammered under the piercing gaze.

"Do not make me take over her body again, but know this. I will always be watching" with those words Serenity's eyes stopped glowing and the girl collapsed back into the arms of her panicked soul mate as Luna rushed away from the group as everyone gathered around the young princess. It was only then that I noticed Jadeites eyes were solely focus on mars.

"What did the queen mean by her actions against the scouts?" Jadeite asked dangerously as I shot him a look with the silent commands to be quiet; of course, the blonde ignored me as per his usual disposition.

"When she awakened all of the inner scouts, minus myself, she subconsciously tampered with there memories, so they would only remember what she wanted them to. In doing so she essentially destroyed the true memories of the past," Venus explained causing all of our eyes to go wide in shock, "the only ones that were spared was myself and the outer scouts. Endymion and Haruka were able to restore Serenity's memories thanks to their bond, but even she is still reliving the past. So far we have not been able to figure out how to correct this problem."

"So that is why…" Jadeite trailed off finally looking away from his wife. I could still remember the chaos the two of them caused together. So, in love and so passionate like the fire that the both commanded. Together they truly made an unstoppable force and were quite feared when someone was unlucky enough to encounter the two of them on the battle field.

"I am sorry we are still trying to figure out a way to fix this, and we are hoping you would be able to help Jadeite. You were known to rival even those of Mercury with your intelligence and ability to invent," Pluto stated, and the blonde nodded his head.

"I will do what I can," He replied sadly as Serenity once again began to wake up.

(End Flashback)

"Have you come up with any ideas to repair their memories yet?" I asked looking at the blonde who only shook his head sadly before a knock sounded on our door and the voice of our prince sounded out.

"May I enter?" Quickly I called out a positive reply as the dark-haired man entered the bedroom with us. Each of us sat up a little straighter as he entered, "please don't get so ridged. I am no longer a prince that I was in the past. My own memories of you are those of companionship."

"Our apologies we are still getting used to the present time," Nephrite replied as we all started to relax.

"I understand that, how are you all feeling?" Mamuro asked as I felt Zoisite's head fall onto my shoulder. Looking down I smiled to see his eyes had fluttered shut once more and he was peacefully sleeping. Pulling the blanket up around him gently I sat back and listened as my prince got reacquainted with us.
