Hello everyone. I'm so glad to know that people are enjoying my story, however this may be my last installment since I'm not getting alot of reviews. I guess it didn't go over as well as I hoped but for those who have enjoyed it, I wanted to send these next two chapter so you all who are fans of Mina and Amy can see what happened to them during the night. I have enjoyed immensely reading your reviews and getting in contact with those of you who sent me PMs. Thank you kindly for allowing me to voice my thoughts on Sailor Moon and just taking the time to read what I had to say. I truly am sorry to those who did want me to continue with the story but you know how it is. However if some of you are very adamant on me doing so, just send me a message and I can probably continue sending you the story through email or something! To others: Have fun and Bless it be! And I do not own Sailor Moon
From Betrayal to Redemption Ch. 14
… … …"Eros?"
"Glad to see you remember my name," he said as he put his feet on the couch.
"Amy did some research and came up with these theories on...Wait a minute. What are you doing here?"
"I'm not sure, but I know that it's definitely going to have repercussions."
"How can you coming to see me be a bad thing? I mean you're my brother right?"
"Yeah Mina I am, but I shouldn't be here. But I know why I am though."
"What do you mean?"
"Go to sleep and I'll talk to you in the morning," he said and walked her to her room. "I'm not tired and I want to talk to you now," she protested.
"Now you want to sleep," he said and waved his hand before her, watching as she fell onto the bed. "I am sorry dear sister, but it is for your own good."
… … … You don't go places without reason because you feel as if it is wasting your time. So are we going to continue this merry-go-round or are you going to fess up?"
"Okay so you caught me. Tell me have you seen my sister yet?"
"Why so curious?" Matt asked as he moved closer to him.
"She is my sister after all and I just want to make sure she is well taken care of," Eros replied and circled in the other direction to avoid contact with him.
"Don't play games with me, Eros. Why would me seeing your sister concern you?"
"So you have seen her? No need to answer, I can see for myself in your eyes. You should know better than to hide secrets of love from me."
"What are you up to Love Man?"
"You'll see," he said and waved a hand in front of Matt's face. "You should get some sleep friend," and vanished from his sight leaving him as he had left Mina.
"Malachite I'm sure that you and Sailor Venus will have much to talk about considering your positions," Queen Serenity stated. "I will leave you ten alone for now, Sailors do remember that you are required to be at your post within the next two."
"Yes your Majesty," they replied and watched her leave the room.
"I have more important things to do than play games with the Earth General," Mars said.
"You will remain here Mars. I suggest we become acquainted with one another especially if Serenity marries the Earth Prince."
"His name is Endymion," Malachite said. "And I agree with Sailor Venus. I say we do as the Queen instructed and acquaint ourselves with those in our ranking."
"Then I think you men should find some guards to speak with because we are not in your rankings."
"What type of leader immerses herself in childish games as this?"
"One that knows she and her team are better," Jupiter replied.
"Jupiter," Venus said.
"At least you can keep your girls in line."
"Is that some type of insult General Malachite?"
"Only one who finds herself inadequate in their skills would consider that an insult Sailor Venus."
"Nice save," Mars smirked.
"Let's just go ahead and speak with those in our same positions and then report to our duties," Mercury said. "General Zoicite if you'll follow me."
"She seems to be more of a leader than you. Are you sure she's not head of this group?" Malachite asked Venus as the others left the room.
Venus turned around to him and gave him a look to kill that he just returned unfazed.
SCENE CHANGE"What are you doing here?" Mina asked.
"I was going to ask you the same question Princess Amina," Malachite said. "I was told to meet your brother Eros here before the sun set."
"That's not possible. Eros sent me a note telling me to meet him…that little sneak! I can't believe he would do something like this to me," she said while pacing the grounds.
"What exactly did he do that has gotten you so upset?"
Turning to look at him she said, "Don't you see what he has done? He tricked both of us to come meet here at this very spot. This spot! He is so dead when I see him tonight. He's going to wish he never tried to play matchmaker with my life."
"Matchmaker? But I thought your brother was in charge of the-"
"Don't tell me you actually fell for that? He pulls that line with everyone just to see who will buy it. He doesn't do anything for the Army because as the eldest child he is said to inherit the thrown."
"Which leaves you where?"
"A lady in waiting obviously who just happens to have a date to murder the future king of Venus."
"You don't think that is a bit extreme? I mean he is your brother after all."
"You have no idea where you are do you?" Mina asked. When he gave no answer to her question she took his hand and pointed to the skies. "This is the only planet in the Alliance where you can not only see a sunset but watch as its colors change upon the horizon and Venus change with it. The entire planet takes on a different life reflecting the night and it begins here. No other planet has this moment but us. It's said that every couple who has stood on this ground at this moment will never part from each other's hearts."
"Are you serious?"
"Very."
Not doubting anything that she said he replied, "Well then we need to go."
"Why? We aren't a couple and plus it's already begun. Look," she said and turned to their right.
When he turned around he saw Mina illuminated in the most brilliant light as she looked upon the sunset. He moved to stand next to her and watched as the colors appeared to merge with the planet and change it completely. All around them he saw plants bloom into different flowers. "Am I really seeing this?"
"It's amazing isn't it?"
He looked down at Mina starring at the action occurring on her planet and whispered, "More than I realized."
Mina looked up at him and saw something different in his eyes. She knew that she shouldn't even be feeling this way about him considering her position: both of them actually. Her people would never understand their princess falling in love with a Earthling. Accept it of course because they never questioned true love but they would never approve of it. And then she couldn't let her duties as Sailor Venus slide. As leader of the Scouts and Moon Army she had an obligation to the Royal Moon family and the Silver Alliance.
'You also have an obligation to yourself Mina. Don't let your duties to this world be more important than yourself, than your heart,' Eros' voice said.
While Mina was battling with herself Malachite was doing the same thing. He knew that starting anything with a princess, the Princess of Venus no less would do him no good. His people wouldn't look down upon but he knew that her people might. Plus he had more imperative issues to focus on with his planet and his prince. He couldn't let these feelings he was getting for Princess Mina get in his way. She was too young for him and never took anything seriously unless she felt wronged. But there was just something about her that called to and it was pulling him closer to her.
SCENE CHANGE"Do you really think that fighting is going to help you past this?" Malachite asked.
"Get past what?" Sailor Venus asked when as she clashed her sword with his.
"We both nearly killed ourselves last time fighting each other. Don't you think talking this time would be better?"
"If I wanted to talk I would have had tea with the Queen or met with the women of Venus. However I don't so shut up and block!"
Lifting his sword and circling the room he said, "So why pick me to take out your anger on. You could have called in the any of the-woah! What the hell are you doing?" he shouted and ducked as she let her love me chain loose in the air.
Cracking it as a whip around her Venus said, "Well you wouldn't shut up and fight so I figure I'd get your attention."
"I'm fighting you obviously, but I can't talk to you too?"
"I don't feel like hearing anything you have to say. You're a man so nothing you say has any bearing on anything I do. Not like anything you have to say would be truthful mind you!"
Knocking her sword out of her hand he pushed her against a wall and asked, "Why do I get the feeling that this is personal Sailor Venus?"
"Good eye," she said and kneed him in the groin. "Doesn't feel good to be hurt by someone you thought respected you does it?"
Taking deep breaths he pulled himself up off the floor and said, "I don't know what you're talking about but since that day after our first fight I have given you every amount of respect you deserve and more. Yes, you are a woman but you are just as well trained and well versed if not better than any man in this solar system."
"Liar!" she screamed and rushed back towards him. Anticipating her moves he braced himself and when she came close he flipped her above his head to have her land on her back with him on top. "Get off of me!"
"Not until you tell me what has you so pissed off."
Not wanting to speak to him she lifted her lower body and flipped him over so that she was on top and said, "Go to hell," and made to move from him but he grabbed her arm to keep her in place.
"I'll make sure to send you a postcard once I arrive. But that'll be after you tell me what is bugging you."
Snatching her arm out of his hand she got up and walked away from him. Rushing to stop her he pulled her back towards him and said, "Why do you have to be so stubborn? I want to help you but you can't even take it can you? Do you always have to push people away from you? Being from Venus, you sure don't have a lot of sense."
Hearing what he said she looked up at him and said, "You're right. I have to be the stupidest woman alive to have believed what I did. No Venus woman has any sense when it comes to matters of the heart and I am no different. I try so hard to fight what my birthright tells me to do and yet I continue to be lead down that same path that those before me were. The path of heartbreak because no man unless he is a Venusians can be trusted. They all just hurt you in the end."
Malachite looked at her eyes filling with tears and couldn't believe what he was seeing. 'I had to have been…no I know what I saw. She can't be…' "Mina?"
Shocked to hear him say her name, Venus looked at him and instead said, "Yes I'm speaking of Princess Amina obviously," and turned to walk away.
"Oh no you don't," he said and locked the door to the training room. " You know damn well I didn't mean that Venus." Walking up closer to her he backed her up against a wall and said, "Or should I say Mina," and kissed her.
When he pulled back he saw Mina standing before him and not Sailor Venus. Even though he had realized who she was a few moments ago it still was a surprise. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"What would it have changed? You still would have broken my heart."
"Mina I don't know what you're talking about-"
"Don't give me that!" she said and pushed him away. "I saw you with her upstairs in the guestrooms. On my planet no less! You had the audacity to come to my home and have some kind of fling with my maids. I knew you Earthlings were a stupid race but I at least gave YOU some credit. They all warned me not to trust you because all Earthmen are bastards who do nothing but cheat and break women's hearts. But did I listen? No because I-"
"Because you fell in love," Malachite said when he came back over to her. "And I fell in love with you too," he said and laid his lips atop hers.
When Mina opened her eyes she could feel the tears on her cheek. She understood why Eros had put her to sleep even if she was upset at him for doing so and she understood who and what they were now. She knew that her dream was not her own but that Malachite- "No Matt. His name is Matthew now. They all came back for us," she said and walked into her bathroom to wash her face.
"Glad you figured it out," Eros said from behind her.
"Eros…will you be going to see him next?"
"No, my purpose is fulfilled sweet sister of mine. I was given the chance to be here for a reason and I found it."
"So you're leaving?" she asked and turned to face him. "But you said I could talk with you today and we could-
"I know what I said Amina, but I cannot stay. What needed to be done was done and now you have other matters to attend to. Like answering that phone," he said and smiled as it began to ring.
"How did you-?"
"No questions. Bye sis," he said and vanished.
"Hello?" she said when she picked up the phone.
Matt woke to the sun peeking through his window and remembered what had happened the night before. He couldn't believe he had let Eros trick him like that. Even millennia couldn't change that boy and his tricks of love against innocent people. He went to close the drapes on his windows and deducted from the way Eros had been acting that he must have been to see Mina too. Which meant that he hadn't dreamt any of that by himself.
'She knows. Or at least is putting the pieces together now and with her powers she can do a lot of puzzle fitting. I wonder if her powers…' He picked up the phone and dialed the number next to his clock. When the receiver of the call answered he said, "Good morning Amina. I think we need to talk don't you?"
