Chapter 6: Maid of Honor

The day was hectic. Serena had locked herself in her bathroom for almost half of the morning. And it had taken a death threat from Molly to get her out of the bathroom and into her gown.

Darien had gone through his own ordeal, except his took place in the Practice Hall and resulted in the battering of several royal guards.

But all of the turmoil and odd ends was worth the moment that they were facing now.

The hall was decorated with exotically beautiful flowers that made the grand ballroom shine with all of the glory of the earth. Music was resonating from every corner of the room and brought about a serene angelic tune. Musicians from Neptune had come to play in her honor, their music only enhanced the ethereal power that was present everywhere around them.

Flowers from the exotic gardens of Neptune, silk from Mercury, and Uranus hung from every window and covered every tabletop, where silver vases and decorative ornaments from the Moon kingdom, and orb lights from Venus beautifully decorated the ceiling and cascaded causing a celestial glow to engulf the upper room, it was a very beautiful thing. Many of the people in the room were captivated by the decorations. The two world's merged all of their splendors in such a beautiful and coordinative way that it seemed as if the two were meant to go together. Many of the people who saw the mix were hopeful of the symbolism engraved in the decor.

The rows of chairs that seated the guests-both from the Silver Alliance and Earth turned around to face the expectant bride to be as she made her way through the doors to stand at the head of the red silken carpet. A number of young girls fluttered in with baskets of exotic flowers both from the earth kingdom and from Jupiter. There were two Lunarian flower girls adding to the total of six. Molly had suggested that she include at least some of her people in the mix of wedding associates in order to make both herself and her visiting people feel more at ease.

Walking out on the carpet, Serena was vastly aware that ever pair of eyes in the room was locked onto her as she took the tiny steps bringing her ever so closer to Darien standing on the pedestal emitting that power that clung to him like a second skin.

She was nervous. She could feel her emotions and her powers running slightly out of her control. She wanted to run. Hide. Disappears in one of the vast unknown recesses of space, but she couldn't. She wouldn't. She would see this through to the end if its the last thing she does.

With that vow, came a surge of courage which made her look up.

Big mistake.

Once her eyes locked in with Darien's midnight blue smiling ones she could not look away.

Serena had felt enthralled many times before, usually when in the presence of the Ancients, or when watching the marvels of the world reveal themselves to her.

But this was different.

This was powerful. This made her knees shake so badly she would have sworn that they were made of liquid.

The look in those eyes, sent her heart into a spiraling cascade of joy. He was her enemy. He was a dangerous foe, who she knew very well had the power to destroy her very way of existence if he so choose. His powers came from Gaea herself, and Gaea was one of the most Ancient of Ancients, she was a direct progeny of Father Universe, King of the worlds.

His eyes held her and refused to release her. So the closer she came, the more panicked she became. Her stomach spluttered and she couldn't breath for a moment. Her eyes blurred and her body went up in flames.

Every second made the gown more unbearable, the cold floor beneath her shoes more chillier and the swirl of emotions in her heart more frantic.

Darien felt a shock go through him when he saw Serena walking towards him in that beautiful flowing white gown. She looked Angelic.

Her beautiful blond hair was braided into a long ropy flower braid and wrapped to one side of her hair. Then small beautiful droplet shaped jewels were embedded in the small crevasses her hair made, catching the glow of the alien lights in the ceilings.

Her face was glowing in its own light. He could see very little make-up on her. In fact only her lips held an extra sheen of rose on them. The rest of her was just natural Serena. Soft, sweet and delicate. When her eyes sprang upwards to look at his, he held his breath. Her long lashes gently flew down offering a perfect black curve against her smooth tanned skin. Her cheeks took on a beet red color, blending in with her rosy lips to give her a sweet innocent look. His gaze did not leave her glowing mystical blue eyes for once, but he did notice the gentle flow of her slender neck as it gave way to her gown's top.

The top of her gown was lined with pink silk, which gave emphasis to the pure white gown. The top of the gown held on like a corset against her, a pure rose sash with beautiful baby blue like flowers decorating it and strapped around her lower waist separating the top of the gown from the bottom of the gown where it spread out more and surrounded her body like a tent-not the huge overly wide tents he often saw on aristocratic women at court, hers was less outwards, it was very beautiful and uncommon and he knew it would be the newest fashion trend in the courts before sunrise tomorrow. Every woman would be rapping their seamstress to start working on a dress much like this; those who did not like her would be vexing for something to outshine the dress, but Darien knew that no matter what they did, they would never match her beauty.

The dress with all of its pleats and minor ruffles flowed to the ground, not drag behind her like the typical bridal dress, this one just flowed down around her forming a somewhat ruffly pool around her feet. Her veil unlike the traditional veils, did not cover her face, it was adjusted on her hair like a crown and spilled backwards forming a misty shadow over her golden locks.

The veil was see through, he presumed a very light wool or cotton, at the base of the veil Mina's delicately fastened on, trying not the disturb the blue roses adorning her veil. Roses from his private garden he was certain. He could not help the smile that overtook his mouth as he took her hand and brought her up to the priest.

Nor could he help the broadening of that smile when the priest's eyes flared up with amazement at the sight of her. Darien was sure that if it had not been for the beautiful and intricate golden Crescent Moon adorning her forehead, he would have gone down on his knees believing that she was an angel of the Holy Lord.

The priest began his sermon, addressing the need for trust, faith, respect and most of all love. Speaking about the trails that they most overcome together rather than alone and the joy that they must share with one another.

When the priest called for the rings, Darien turned around to retrieve the Earth Kingdom ring from his best "man". Before he was fully turned, he caught a glimpse of something flash across Serena's eyes before she looked downwards avoiding his eyes.

He took the ring from Berly's open palm, fully aware as she rubbed his hand before slowly and reluctantly releasing his hands. And of how she was exuding a plea for him to deny this marriage.

He turned back around ignoring Berly. Serena did not meet his eyes, instead he caught her gaze reluctantly flying to Berly and back to the ground as she turned to retrieve her ring from Amy her maid of honor.

He took a hold of her hand, relishing in the powdery softness of it in his own battle rugged palms, and inserted his Kingdom's ring on her delicately slender finger. With the ring, no matter where she goes everyone would know that she was his and that she had the power and the backing of the entire Earth. The Ring belonged to the Earth Queen, and as his wife, she was the Queen of the entire Earth.

Her ring was almost clear, but within the ring, he could see colors glowing and disappearing. Colors he knew belonged to the planets of the Silver Alliance. The ring was a representation that he was now the Prince of the Silver Alliance; he was the supreme ruler of all the remaining planets in the Solar System as well. He could feel the ring warming up against his finger. Looking at it, it seemed like a plain clear diamond ring with a few moon patterned etched into it, but he could sense the power emanating from the ring and could not ignore the pull of it.

After what seemed like eons of speech, the priest finally delivered the one question they had all been graving for.

"Do you Prince Darien Endymion Shields take Princess Serenity Moon Tsukino as your devout wife to love and cherish through ill and good for all of your life." The music had subsided along with the shattering and the murmurs. All he could hear was his own calm breathing and Serena's. He looked at her standing in front of him, her face upturned to look at his; a face that throughout this whole ordeal had not showed an ounce of emotion, a face that was so cold he could feel tickling spikes of ice run down his spine. Then he looked into her eyes. Her beautiful exotic blue eyes. Eyes that betrayed everything her face wouldn't. Eyes that were as uncertain as he was, eyes that were scared of what is to come, eyes that showed a vulnerable young soul buried deep within the strong indestructible young woman.

"I do." He saw his generals and his sister relax back into their seats.

He heard several young noblewomen whimper in the seats staring at him with sorrow and begrudge. But none of that mattered, what mattered were the glossy blue eyes staring back at him startled beyond imagining. He was certain that Serena had expected him to, if not refuse the whole thing, then at least drag on an un-ceremonial pause. Anything other than confidentially announce his willingness to bind himself to her eternally.

"And do you, Princess Serenity Moon Tsukino, take Princes Darien Endymion Shields to be your devout husband to love through ill and good for all of you life." He saw her mouth tremble a little before she finally spoke.

"I do." The doubt etched in her voice, somehow hurt him far more than it should have. He knew that she was not comfortable with the whole terms of the treaty, nor was she fond of him, and he had even come to accept that from her, but having her blatantly show it off was still painful to him.

"Then I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." He leaned over to deliver a gentle kiss to Serena's waiting lips. Gentle, had been his intention. But the feel of her supple softness dissipated all of his earlier attempts at gentleness. He ravaged Serena's lips like a starved wolf would a deer. He could feel the eyes of everyone in the room as they bore at the two of them. He took from her what he did not know he wanted. And to his surprise, she responded to his call with her own shy but starved movements. She wrapped her arms around his neck when he leaned over her and gently pulled her closer stopping every-once-in a while out of reluctance to do anything too drastic.

Darien lifted her up, their lips still locked together. Breathlessness and disorientation called him back to reality and forced him to lift his head away from hers. Serena took in gulps of air, her now deeply rosy and swollen lips parted, and her blue eyes fully opened to stare at him surprised. Darien couldn't resist. He bend down and kissed her on the lips again, this time gently and before giving her a peck on the noose.

"Can I get down now...I..." She couldn't formulate words right...Her forehead creased as she attempted to think of words to say to him. He smiled and began to descend the stairs with her still in his arms. He did not heed her resisting him, and as the people began to cheer and throw flowers at them, he stole a glance at his sister and generals who were staring at him bewildered and shocked. Serena's senshi's had already joined them, but their faces were blank.

"What in the name of Jupiter's moons does he think he is doing?" Lita asked looking at Darien as he exited with Serena in tow. She was wearing a beautiful silk green dress that flowed down to the floor and pooled around her feet, the dress had no back, the front was almost corset like so it stayed on them with no rope or strings to attach them together. All the others wore the same thing except for little differences in color. Mina's dress was dark orange with studs on the v shaped top of the dress, while Raye's dress was ivory and only the stomach area was corset like, the rest was all silk and tied to the back in a beautiful knot that flowed down to join the rest of her dress on the ground. Amy's dress was a white floor length dress like the others, but with a neck sash that flowed down her delicate back and spilled into the floor. Her short blue hair had white ribbons intermixed in them.

"She didn't even throw the bouquet." A young girl murmured getting up to stand besides Malachite whose usually out of control hair was tied down in a neat ponytail. She took his arm into hers and looked up at him waiting for his reply to her comment.

"Well, how about her maid of honor throw the bouquet for her? Zoicite's voice rang right behind Amy making her jump and bump into his waiting head.

"My apologies. But I hope next time you learn not the startle a harmless young lady." Zoicite rubbed his chin as he glared at Amy playfully seconds before she took a stack of flowers from one of the vases climbed up the stairs and threw the flowers into the waiting crowd.

She tuned back around and walked down the stairs to where everyone was waiting for her. The nonchalant look in her eyes made Molly and the other Generals laugh when Zoicite aggravatingly sighed in defeat.

This union was not going to work out. The Lunarians were far too out of sorts, they did not feel a thing and even when they felt something, they could not portray it, and we...we felt far too much to keep inside.

Keeping emotions inside tended to be bad. Emotions ferment and become putrid, and when they become too jam packed they tended to explode and the explosion is never a nice thing.

kinda had a block for this story...but its back.

Thanks for sticking wit it.

ps. Visit mangamania's page...I luv her profile info...So awesome.
