"Because Of Love" Janet Jackson
Serena buried her head in Treize's chest. "I can't believe it's really you." She whispered softly.
Duo flushed and looked away to see Heero tending to Relena. "Treize," Heero growled.
Duo frowned, "Don't you dare, Heero. That's her father and not the Treize we know."
Treize held his daughter close for a moment before pulling back and getting a better look at her. "You've grown so much from when I last saw you." His eyes flickered towards Duo and Heero. He noticed the moon symbol and frowned slightly, "She always was too quick to judge," He said in a sigh.
Serena frowned at him, "Father! If it hadn't been for Duo Prince Darien would have got me by now!"
"Prince Darien?" Lita asked confused.
Serena nodded, "I had forgotten you never knew how the Negaverse got into the Kingdom did you?" Lita shook her head and Serena sighed softly, "He. he tricked me. He told me he wanted to help solidify the gates against invading armies but he only weakened it. By the time I realized it was his fault I. I was close to dying."
Sailor Uranus frowned, "Koneko-chan, you do realize that the generals not only know of your new Prince but they now know of your father also."
Serena looked down, "I had forgotten," She whispered softly.
"Cheer up, Odango we won't let them get any of the royal family." Sailor Uranus assured as she detransformed.
Heero listened to the conversation partially, "Why did you call her dumpling one minute and kitten the next?"
Haruka looked over at the other boy, "I call her kitten because she's innocent and naive and I call her Odango for her hairstyle."
Serena hugged Lita, "Missed you," She whispered.
Lita smiled down at her Princess. "Missed you too but we should try and get out of here."
"Who are all of you and why is she dressed like that?" Relena asked confused.
Serena smiled brightly, "I'm Princess Serena of the Moon Kingdom. That man over there is my father, King Treize."
Serena turned towards Treize, "Father, where is Artemis?"
"He's searching for the rest of your court, Koneko-chan," Haruka calmly informed.
Serena sighed, "Duo, you have to get out of here with Father. Now that Darien knows about the crest he'll stop at nothing to kill you."
"Kill?" Relena asked staring over at her.
Serena nodded her eyes darting over her surroundings, "We have to get out of here now before they come back," She informed the group as she went up to her Father. "Don't be so suspicious," She said in a giggle, "Mother knew what she was doing."
Treize's face showed none of his inner emotions. "We'll see about that later. You are right though if we don't leave right away the whole group could come back."
Serena nodded and turned to Heero and Relena, "I'm truly sorry for all the hassle we've caused you," She apologized with a bow. She looped her arms with Lita and Haruka watching carefully as her friends and family gathered in a circle. Duo stood across from her curiosity in his gaze but he didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and felt her father do the same they began to glow a silver color as they chanted ancient words.
Artemis looked around himself with a frown. He had searched two different colonies and yet he couldn't find any trace of Serena's protectors anywhere. "I could have swore I felt Venus around here somewhere he mused almost beneath his breath.
"Hi!" A cheery blue-haired teenaged girl said as she picked Artemis up. "You have to be cold out here. My name is Amy and Mom is out at work all day. Would you like to come home with me? I'll fix you something to eat."
Artemis meowed making Amy laugh. She smiled brightly at him before heading home, 'Mercury,' Artemis thought to himself with a purr.
Serena stepped away from the group her eyes clouded. 'We can't keep running. We have to fight them sooner or later or everyone will die.'
"What's wrong?"
Serena turned and saw Duo looking at her in concern. She sighed softly, "I'm tired of running, Duo. I just want to face Beryl and Darien and get it over with. I lost both of my beloved parents to them I don't want to lose you too," She whimpered burying her head into his chest and allowing her tears to fall.
Duo's face softened and without really thinking of the other people nearby he gently raised Serena's chin and gently kissed her. "I won't let anything happen to anyone you love," He whispered for her ears alone.
Treize frowned, "What do we know about that boy, Neptune?"
Michiru smiled softly, "He's been taking care of Princess ever since she appeared here. He's worthy of being her suitor, your Majesty."
Treize nodded, "It's hard to believe she's growing up so fast. The last time I saw her she was so young. It's almost hard for me to believe. It's even harder seeing her so close to a boy."
Haruka chuckled, "You have nothing to worry about. If that boy hurts Koneko-chan in any way I'll be happy to make him pay."
Serena laid her head down on Duo's chest in contentment. "Duo, I love you," She whispered before her eyes closed.
Duo looked down at her in surprise, 'She loves me? Why?' He smiled and gently kissed the faint crescent moon on her forehead, "I love you too, Serena," He whispered just as softly. A smile blossomed on Serena's lips and Duo felt himself smile in response.
"How did that boy get the crest?" Demanded Darien glaring at his four generals.
Malachite frowned, "Somehow Queen Serenity was able to give it to him."
"She's dead," He retorted his eyes narrowed. "And soon so will that whole family but not before I make the Princess mine. I'm not going to let that boy just take her. It will be fun killing him in front of her and of course her dear Father will die too."
Amy looked down at the cat as he finished his tuna, "You must have been hungry."
"Ravished."
Amy looked down at the cat shocked, "You talked."
Artemis nodded, "Yes, Mercury you need to remember."
"Remember?. I can't believe I'm talking to a cat."
"Hey! I'm not a normal house cat you know. Anyways kneel before me and I'll give you your memories."
"Memories?"
"Yes, just please do it."
"Alright nothing else can go wrong I think." Amy knelt before him curiosity in her eyes.
Artemis looked up at her his eyes serious his crescent moon glowing brightly, "Remember," He whispered. Amy inhaled sharply as a flood of memories overcame her.
Haruka watched closely as her princess laid her head on Duo's chest her half-closed eyes filled with love as she looked up at him. Haruka felt herself smile slightly. 'Maybe he is worthy of the Princess.'
A bright blue flash filled the room and when it vanished Sailor Mercury stood looking only slightly confused. She walked up to Treize and bowed, "Your Highness," She said softly.
Serena looked up startled her eyes widened, "Mercury!" She gasped running to her friend and hugged her tightly.
Sailor Mercury smiled and hugged her Princess. "You have been studying right?"
Serena groaned, "Mercury!" She whined.
The blue-haired girl laughed softly. "It's nice to know you haven't changed, Princess," She said with a giggle.
Serena gave a cute pout before bouncing back over to Duo. "Duo, that's one of my best friends, Mercury."
"Amy," Sailor Mercury added her deep blue eyes scanning Duo. "You have the royal crest so you're Serena's suitor?"
Duo flushed slightly and nodded putting an arm around Serena's shoulders. "I 'm Duo pleasure to meet you," He said with a smile never taking his arms from around Serena.
Serena leaned against him her eyes closed as if in a trance, "They're coming for us," She whispered her body almost glowing silver.
