Chapter 8- I can't promise
Shortly after Dinner the friends were all sat in the sitting room. Serenity was holding Hotaru rocking her back to sleep. She was singing an old Lunarian lullaby. Everyone was enchanted by their princesses voice. Haruka sidled up to Mamoru who was standing by the door listening out for Rei and Junichi and whispered. "Soo when are you going to pop the question and make her a mother I hope it's soon otherwise I'm not going to get my daughter back" Haruka whispered in his ear Mamoru softly chuckled. "Not yet, maybe in a few months or so after this ordeal is over and we can live in peace and everyone is settled here and after she's over the trauma from that bastard" he whispered back. Haruka nodded. They heard a car pull up. Mamoru smiled "so the sister and brother in-law are home?" Haruka said "yes that's them. Who else would it be there is just them two missing and Deisuke doesn't have a clue where I live" Mamoru said. "True that my friend" Haruka said.
Mamoru opened the door when he heard Rei yelling at Junichi. "I swear Junichi Ryla I'm going to toast you alive" Rei said. "Now Rei I would appreciate my knight alive and well thank you" Mamoru said chuckling Haruka joining in. Rei turned round to see her brother and one of her childhood friends laughing at the couple "Big brother, 'Ruka-chan how are you?" Rei said running up to them Haruka swept her up and hugged her tightly "feeling whole again now my powers have returned "oh my, Uranus?" Rei said covering her mouth "yep you know it, everyone is here but Saturn is a baby. Michiru, Neptune gave birth to her last week thanks to Puu so can you quieten down? Serenity currently has Hotaru in her arms and has been singing to her I forgot how amazing her voice is" Haruka said. "Gomen" Rei whispered "come on slow pokes" Rei turned round to her brother and husband who were chatting animatedly amongst themselves "you're the boss firebird" Junichi winked.
"Oh come off it you infuriating man! Mamoru why did you have to give him his memories back? He was less of an arrogant ass then" Rei half moaned and half whined. Mamoru gave a good hearty laugh "it's good to have you back Mars" Haruka said patting her on the back "it's good to be back" Rei smiled back as they walked into the living room "Rei-chan Jun-chan" the group whispered excitedly. Rei looked at all her friends her eyes fell on the moon princess holding the infant in her arms singing quietly by now she had taken her cardigan that was covering her arms up and she gasped covering her mouth up quickly "Usa what the hell happened?" Rei said walking up to her and kneeling in front of her "the worst mistake of my life" Serenity whispered tears sliding down her cheeks. "excuse me" Serenity passed the baby back to Michiru and ran "Keiichi you go after her. I will explain what happened to her just for gods sake go find your sister this place is huge and she needs you more than me right now" Mamoru said "heh don't worry I will tap into our sibling bond it's so strong now I know exactly where she is" Keiichi said as he kissed Minako on the cheek and then he ran off "so big brother tell us everything" Rei said Mamoru nodded and so he began telling their mutual friends what had happened to their moon princess.
In the master bedroom
"Kei-oniichan I can't do it, I just can't do it" Serenity said crying into her brothers arms "what can't you do imoto-chan?" He said "be strong I can't be strong I can't be like you or Mamo-chan or my guardians and the rest of Mamos Shittenou" she said heaving through heavy sobs "no one expects you to be strong Hime-chan you've just come out of a violent relationship, you wasn't fooling me with that facade of yours last night I just played along to make sure Mamoru didn't worry anymore than he was" Keiichi said trying to comfort the girl.
"But I'm a PRINCESS god damn it Keiichi. Everyone expects me to be their leader and queen but how can I? How can I god damn it? My ex is a nut who tried killing me on more than one occasion and our real and rebirth parents are all dead and..." she crumpled to her knees and sobbed "I just can't do this anymore Keiichi just leave me be and let me wallow in filth I'm a disgrace to the Lunarian family. I should have known he wasn't the one but he played mind games to make me think he was.." Keiichi knelt down and grabbed the princesses face "Serenity look at me" he growled low. "Keiichi you're hurting me" Serenity whispered painfully tears rolling down her cheeks he loosened his grip a little but his moon mark was blazing aswell (a trait when in distress or angry Kunzite is both at this moment) "you will listen to me and you will not let yourself wallow in despair. You young lady are not a disgrace to our family. That man took advantage of you when we lost our parents. I was injured so I wasn't able to rescue you myself, I know that is something I will never get over . My responsibility was you and only you as my sister and fiancé of my prince, of course you lot didn't know at the time I failed my duty to protect you Serenity I will never let it happen again" Keiichi said "and you expect me to watch on as you head in to your death Once again Keiichi?" she said turning to face away from him Keiichi was stunned into silence.
"I knew it wasn't you guys that killed my guardians by your hands, I felt you being slaughtered on the battlefield by that demon bitch. We all knew they were clones who killed my girls I can't let you die onii-chan you and 'Ruka are the only true family I have left now, onegai if mother asks you what I think she is going to, refuse please we will find another way to destroy him I'm begging you as not only as your lieges princess but your sister who needs her big brother" she started sobbing again.
"I can't promise I will say no imoto-chan I have a lot of suppressed rage inside me right now after everything he has done to us." Keiichi said as calmly as possible to not frighten his sister " Demo onii-chan you have a baby on the way Minako can't be on her own" Serenity said tears spilling down her face. "first and foremost Mina knows her and the baby are my second priority you are my 1st and always have been imoto-chan please don't throw this away" Keiichi was practically begging with her now "demo onii-chan" she said in a tearful whisper. "No buts 'Reni what needs to be done will be done, do you understand me?" He said. Serenity nodded tears sliding down her cheeks.
