Because of love
I know you better
"Because Of Love" Janet Jackson
Serena watched as Duo tried talking to Heero. Ready to laugh at the goofy expressions he was making, knowing that Heero must be giving him smart remarks. Slowly she approched them.
"You need parts you know!" Duo said, seating himself on Gundam Wing, attempting to strike up a converstion with it's pilot, who was making repairs by himself. "It's not light your leg." He arched an eyebrow, making a motion with his leg. Then let out a long sign when he didn't get a response.
"Is he that anti-social?" Serena asked, looking up at Duo.
Duo nodded. "Way to much if you ask me. He thinks he nevo con evo. Like he can work miricles or somthing, here I am, offering to fix his gundam along with mine and he brushes me right off."
Serena giggled, but before she could respond, they both heard Heero's voice.
"Hey."
"What is it? Your to late if you think you can ask for my help now." Duo replied.
"Can you two keep it down." Heero said.
"Well, excuse me for interupting and for being a mere mortal." Duo said sarcastically, jumping down, and taking Serena's hand. "Come on Serena, let's leave Mr. Anti-Social to his work." With that, the two left the hanger.
"Papa, Papa! Play with me!" A young Serena pleaded, tugging on her father's hand, leading him to a swing set.
King Trieze chuckled, allowing her to pull him, holding his wife's, Queen Serenity's hand also, following their young daughter.
"Anything for my little princess." He smiled, seating her on a swing, while her mother sat on a nearby bench, watching them. Happy to see that they had a close bond, but that was only natural. For a father to be extremely close to his daughter.
Serena pulled her knees to her chest, hugging them, looking up at the Full Moon, seated on top of Duo's Deathsythe, which was covered by a sheet. Faintly smiling at the memory.
"Oh Father....." She whispered, bowing her head.
"Serena." Said Duo, who was seated beside her.
She looked at him, smiling faintly. "Yes Duo?"
He studied her expression, knowing she was thinking about Treize. Thinking she had a right to know about him. "Um.....About Treize." He stammered, trying to figure out a way to tell her.
"What about him?" She asked, curiously.
"There's something you need to know." He finally said, giving her a nervous look.
She blinked, giving him her full attention. "Like what?"
Duo sighed. "You remember what I told you my mission is right?"
She nodded, waiting for him to continue.
"He's the leader of Oz." Duo answered, waiting for her reaction, only to be surprised at how calm she was about it.
"It doesn't matter what he is.....He is my Father, and King of the Moon Kingdom, and nothing can change that." She replied, looking up at the moon.
Duo arched an eyebrow, reflecting her words silently, looking at the waves. "Yeah....." His voice trailed off. "I know."
Serena shivered, rubbing her arms.
"Are you cold?" He asked, noticing her motions.
She nodded, closing her eyes.
Without any hesitation, he slid behind her, and wrapped his arms around her waist. She didn't seem to mind, then he was surprised when she leaned back against him.
"I hope he remembers me soon. When this is all finished, he will have to take his place once again as King, and I will be at his side when that happens." She explained, looking up at him, her eyes twinkling in the moon light.
Duo's lips curved in his usual side grin, but this time it was not forced, like most of the time. "Some how, I get the feeling that it will happen, because of you." He said in a soft tone, pulling her closer to him.
Serena stared into his violet eyes, her own blue eyes flickering, a tint of pink on her cheeks. "You think so?"
Duo nodded, tilting her chin up, so that his face was only inches away from hers. "I promised your mother I would help you, and that's what I'm going to do." He whispered, caressing her cheek with his finger tips.
"Oh Duo....." She smiled, blinking back tears.
"Shhhhh....." Duo shushed her, putting a finger to her lips, before his lips slowly touched hers in a soft kiss.
Heero watched them from afar, leaning against a wall, with his arms folded. "Duo must be blinded by him emotions for him to neglect his mission like this." He thought, before turning and walking back into the hanger.
Treize stared at the white cat, eagerly awaiting for him to speak.
"The only way you could help her is to leave this place, and go somewhere secret to keep Baryl from knowing your alive. The way your lifestyle is now, could give you away instantly." Artemis answered, looking at the ground.
"I don't want any harm to come to her." Treize frowned, picking himself up from the floor, and seated himself on his bed. "And I need to apoligize to her for the way I acted."
Artemis smiled. "There will be time for that in the future My King. For now, the wisest thing for you to do would be to sheild yourself, and learn to control your power."
"Power?" Treize raised an eyebrow.
Artemis chuckled, nodding. "Yes, your power exceeds that of Queen Serenity's." Then his expression became serious. "That is why Baryl ordered your death. She knew you were more powerful than your wife, and you could have easily defeated her."
Treize closed his eyes, taking in all the information, touching the moon on his forehead, thinking. "If I had been there, my wife would still be alive, and I would have had a chance to see my daughter grow into the beautiful flower she is now." He said in a soft voice.
Artemis turned away, sensing his King's despair. "The Queen was never the same once you died."
"Tell me Artemis.....Who did it? Who carried out Baryl's plans?" Treize demanded, staring at the cat, waiting for an explaination.
Artemis was hesitent to answer, but knew he could not deny his King's request. "Prince Endymion, Your Highness."
Trieze gasped, narrowing his eyes in anger. "My daughter's intended?"
"Yes." Artemis answered, bowing his head.
"He did this to me. Taking me away from wife, my child, my Kingdom." He clentched his fists, his cresent moon beginning to flare, morphing his clothes into his silver Moon Kingdom one's, a crown appearing on his head.
Artemis stood up, alarmed. "Calm yourself My King!" He exclaimed, his eyes wide.
Treize shut his eyes, listening to the white cats advice, and consintrated. Then a sliver light ingulfed him, when the light faded, he stood there, dressed in his normal cloths, the cresent moon gone. He colapsed on to the bed, catching his breath.
"It's still to early for you to try and use your powers." Artemis explained. "I will help you learn to control them, once I have found your daughter's protectors, I will return to you, and be your adviser as I once was."
Treize sat up, running a hand through his hair, and nodded. "If I can't help Serena just yet, at least let me asist you in finding her protectors then." He requested.
Artemis arched his eye brows, thinking. "As you wish, Your Highness." He answered, bowing.
Serena had just woke up, and stepped out onto the deck, watching the sun come up. She touched her lips, smiling, remembering the kiss she had shared with Duo the previous night. Feeling butterflies in her stomach.
Suddenly she heard something take off, and she rushed to the hanger, to find that Heero had just left with his gundam. "He fixed it by himself?" She said to herself, when she saw Duo run after him.
"Traitor!" He yelled.
Serena gasped, looking at his gundam, realizing Heero had taken parts from Deathsythe to fix his. "How typical." She muttered. "After all we've done for him."
Just when she was about to approach Duo, strong arms grabbed her in a tight grip. She screamed, knowing it wasn't Duo this time. "Darien let me go!" She yelled, struggling to free herself.
Duo heard her cries, and instantly ran as fast as he could. He wouldn't let that damn Prince take her.
Serena tried reaching for her broach, when it was suddenly pulled off her tang top, and thrown to the floor.
"Not this time Princess." Tuxedo Mask taunted.
Her eyes widdened in fear. "My broach!" She exclaimed.
Duo had just came into view, when a rose stopped him mid way.
"Don't take another step boy." Darien scowled at him.
"Let her go!" Duo cried, glaring at him.
"I think not!" Darien smirked, harshly tilting her chin up, about to kiss her.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Duo yelled, clentching his fists, fury in his eyes.
"Dead Scream!" Cried a female voice, as a ball of energy flew towards Tuxedo Mask, knocking him to the floor. Releasing Serena from his grasp temporaly.
Darien stood up, and grabed her before she could run to Duo, glaring at the new arival. "Who are you!
"How dare you touch the Princess in such a manner! Guarded by the planet Pluto. I"m Sailor Pluto!" Said a dark green haired woman.
