Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ A Lost Love ❯ one ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter One

Oh no. I should have been more careful instead of falling in love with this beautiful garden. She mentally hit herself in the head. A hand touched her shoulder which made her stiffen up.

Man, how do I get myself into these situations? Rei is going to be so mad at me and never rescue me from being stuck inside the castle. Why does all the bad things always have to happen to poor little me?

"Are you looking for Princess Serenity?" Some how, that deep voice seemed to make her relax. She finally took a breath a let it out. She turned around to the man that had spoken to her.

"Yes. Do you know where she is by chance?" She seemed to freeze.

He's so handsome! She looked at him, taking in his complexion. Dark wavy brown hair that reached back his shoulders, and beautiful mysterious blue eyes that drew her toward him. They both seemed to be looking at each other for a long time.

She's the most beautiful woman that I've even seen. Her emerald eyes, her beautiful hair that's in a crown? I've found a Princess. Of course, that's my luck. I'm below her though and she can't have a General. Wait, things could change, right? He come out of his thoughts to see her blushing.

"I'm sorry Miss..?"

"Makoto Kino and you are?" He gave a bow and kissed her hand gently.

"General Nephlite. It's a pleasure to meet you Princess Makoto." She gasped and took a step back.

"How do you know?" He gave her a comforting smile.

"Princess Serenity speaks of you often along with the other Princess of her court."

"Does Serenity visit here often?"

"To speak with Endyiom, yes. Has she not told you of her visits?" he questioned. Makoto shook her head.

"We really aren't suppose to be on Earth." He stopped her from walking by her elbow firmly.

"Why not?"

"Our alliance with Earth isn't stable as Queen Serenity informed us. But, things look perfectly fine to me." He smiled at her.

"How well do you rate Earth from this first glimpse?" he asked. She gave him a smile that could have made the sun come out on a rainy day.

"It must be more enchanting and much more beautiful on the outside of the walls. This garden exceeds beyond my planet. You have much more plant life than I have ever seen before."

"Everything is much more peaceful at night. With the stars shining just right, you can almost see all of the planets. The planet that is always out every night is Jupiter. It shines perfectly with the surrounding stars." He smiled at the excitement on her face with the rose color that started to fill her cheeks.

"You can really see Jupiter during the nights?" He nodded.

"Yes. The goddess of Jupiter must be as beautiful as her planet or at least compare to your beauty." She smiled gently.

"You know your way into flattery General Nephlite but, flattery will get you no where."

"Actually, I was hoping my good looks and charm could help support it." She smiled gently and looked up into his eyes once more.

"They already took affect on your first impression." Makoto turned to hear footsteps coming toward them. It was Rei. A woman with long silvery hair and blue eyes looked at her. By the looks of it, they must have been running.

"Mako-chan!" The woman in a beautiful white dress hugged her.

"Sere, Rei, what's wrong?" Rei looked Makoto with her hand on her hips.

"Didn't you remember? We're suppose to meet on the moon for the arrival of Prince Endyiom and his Generals! We're going to be late! Everyone in the whole kingdom must be looking for us! Do you know what your father is going to do if he finds out that you were Earth? That's going to ruin his meeting! Wait, my father's going to kill me!" Rei was rushing into a panic. She started pacing. Makoto let out a sigh.

"Rei, pull yourself together. Just contact Ami and have her transport us to where ever she is. She can do that, right?" Rei shook her head.

"No. It's impossible. Hey, who's that man beside you?" asked Rei noticing him for the first time.

"This is Ge---" She was cut off by a man quickly emerging from a pathway.

"Nephlite! Do you know how much Endyiom is going to kill us if we're late to the moon? It'll be worse if our Queen gets wind of it! Are you flirting with the suitors again? You know that Endyiom hates that! Flattery will get you no where when it comes to love." Makoto turned on her heel with a smile at him. He couldn't help but grin.

"Please Princess, you really don't need to say it." She looked at the man with short blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Always remind General Nephlite that." His jaw was dropped.

"Did you just call her a Princess?" Nephlite nodded. Serenity came into view.

"Jedite, this is Princess Makoto of Jupiter along with Princess Rei of Mars. They just came for a visit." He nodded.

"We're suppose to meet with you but, you're here. How is that possible?" he asked.

"It's called teleportation now, we have thirty minutes until we can leave Makoto. Might as well think of an excuse for our parents." Nephlite shook his head.

"We can sneak you through the transporter to the moon," he answered.

Alright, smart, handsome, great charm, flirt, and of course, thinks of something that we should have thought of ourselves but, we were too busy worrying. All I have to say is he fits into my standards to be my knight in shining armor. But, lets just keep this plain and simply. He's from Earth, parents want a Prince, and there's no way that we could be together anyways. Love always finds a way to leave me out. How could this be? Is it my destiny to be alone instead of having a beautiful family and ruling the Thrown to Jupiter? Life's not fair but, I might as well live it to my fullest, right? Her thoughts were cut off by her hand being taken. She found herself running. Behind her followed Serenity and Rei. Jedite was distracting the guards while Nephlite helped each Princess upon the teleporter. He gave a bow.

"Until we meet again Princesses." Makoto moved her index finger for him to step forward.

"Yes Princess?" She moved closer to his ear.

"By the way General, I believe flattery will get you nowhere." A smile spread across his face while she moved back. He pressed the button and watched them disappear. Jedite stood there for a moment to take in the way his friend was standing there. His eyes still looking to where the girls stood.

Beautiful, smart, sophisticated, everything that a woman should be. She fits it perfectly. Only problem is, she's a Princess and she'll want to marry a Prince. Of course, that will never come true for me. I am below her. She is above me. I only wish that we could meet again other than on the moon. Dearest Princess of Jupiter, you have taken my heart but yet, you seem to not know it. You seem to think of me as a person that uses flattery to get everywhere. I will show you who I am Makoto. The man of your dreams. Your knight in shining armor. I will see you in a moment. Now I can say, love at first sight is real and I do believe in it as well... He turned to a hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at Jedite who seemed to be smiling at him.

"Don't worry my dear friend. You will see her soon enough."

The Moon Palace

Rei looked around to see that no one was in the halls. She sighed and then they all walked around the palace. They were suddenly stopped by a guard.

"Princess Rei, Princess Makoto, your rooms are ready for you to get ready in for the arrival of the Generals."

"Our rooms?" asked Rei. He nodded.

"You will be staying here while the Generals are here. Your parents have already sent as much belongings as you will need. I hope that you will enjoy your stay. Princess Makoto, your room is located right above the garden as your mother has requested. Princess Rei, your room is straight away from the temple as your mother as well requested." He gave bow and then left. Makoto gave a long sigh.

"Why do we all have to be separated?"

"I think Mother is trying to make sure that we don't talk together and ignore the generals and Endyiom," said Serenity.

"You're right. Well, right now, we have to get ready. I'll meet you later in the thrown room." They nodded and went their separate ways.

A group of women were walking down the halls in chatter.

"Serenity, when do you think they'll arrive?" asked a girl with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. A smile played across her lips.

"They should be here any time soon Minako," smiled Serenity.

"Where's Mako-chan?" asked a girl with short blue hair to her shoulders and blue eyes.

"She's in the kitchen as usual. I say we go and surprise her," smiled Rei. They headed that direction without noticing who followed behind them.

Makoto had a white apron around herself so her dress wouldn't get dirty. She has just barely brought out the flour to make a cake when the door opened. It was the girls. She smiled.

"So Makoto, I heard you met a General. Is he cute?" asked Minako with a smile.

"I wouldn't put it in those turns," said Makoto.

"Then how would you put it?" asked Rei.

"A perfect gentlemen." Minako started to snicker and Makoto looked at the flour next to her. A grin spread across her face.

"You know Minako, I wouldn't be laughing if I was you."

"Why not?" she asked. Makoto threw some flour at her and started laughing. Minako grabbed some and threw it at her. When Makoto started throwing it, it hit Rei. Rei hit Ami and Ami hit Serenity. It eventually turned out that the whole kitchen was white along with the girls. Pan where everywhere from where they had been using them as shields. The opened to have a guard standing there. He was hit with flour as laughing was heard while he exited. Jedite looked at him in surprise.

"I guess it's not safe to go in the kitchen," he commented. The door quickly opened and then someone was trying to hold it closed. She was holding something in her arms.

"Makoto! Give us the flour and nobody will get hurt!"

"Nobody else will but I know I will," she retorted.

"Makoto! This is your last warning. If you don't give up the flour I will have to resort to extreme measures!" She turned to the guard and motioned for him to come over to her.

"I want you to hold the door," she said. He nodded.

"Why?"

"So I can," suddenly the door was burst open but she continued,"RUN!" She quickly took off down the hall with two white people coming out after her. Serenity came out laughing and then stopped when she saw Jedite and Nephlite standing there. Ami was right beside her. Another man walked over to the two Generals.

"I think we should have the Princess come to Earth instead of us coming to the Moon. White people are running around the palace," he said. Makoto suddenly grabbed onto Serenity and hid behind her and Ami.

"What ever you say, I was never here." He looked down at them and then back at the two.

"Don't ask me. They came out like that," said Jedite. Minako and Rei ran over to them.

"Where's Makoto? I know you're hiding her so tell me where she is!"

"Do you always do this before guests arrive?" asked Nephlite.

"We don't always to this," said Makoto as she popped up. Minako and Rei quickly turned to her as she hit her forehead.

"Get her!" She tried to run but, they grabbed her and pinned her down quickly.

"Where's the flour?" asked Minako.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Rei got a grin.

"Well, it's torture time," she smiled. She looked at Minako who grinned and started tickling her.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you!" Minako stopped and looked at her.

"Where is it?" asked Rei. Makoto suddenly pointed at Jedite.

"He has it!" His jaw dropped as he saw the two women turn to him with a glare.

"One word for you Jedite," said Nephlite.

"What?" he asked weakly.

"Run." Jedite did just so while the two Princesses chased after him.

"So, where did you hide it?" asked Ami. Makoto pulled it out from under nether her apron.

"I thought they would look there and grab it but, they didn't it." She poured out the remains on the floor that was just a table spoon.

"I guess they were just after the bag then. That's all that's left," sighed Makoto.

"I'm never letting you in the kitchen again Makoto," said Serenity. Makoto turned to her.

"You won't need to let me in. I'll find my own way," smiled Makoto. She just rolled her eyes and looked at herself.

"You know, I hope Mother doesn't walk down the hall," she sighed.

"Serenity!" She looked up to see her mother standing there. Her head bowed down quickly.

"Yes mother?"

"Go get cleaned up immediately! Prince Endyiom is already here. Do you think he needs to see his bride looking like a ghost?"

"Bride?" asked Makoto with her eyes almost popping out. She nodded.

"Yes, bride. I want all of you to get cleaned up and dressed. Where are the other two Princesses?" she asked. Jedite ran past her. Minako and Rei just barely grabbed him and pinned him to the floor.

"Where is it?" asked Minako. Makoto started laughing. Rei looked at the bag in hand and quickly grabbed it away. She opened it to see nothing in it.

"You had us chasing you for an empty bag?!" Makoto pointed in Queen Serenity's direction where they quickly looked up. Their mouths dropped open. Her glare was intense.

"Venus! Mars! What on earth are you doing? Are you trying to kill one of Prince Endyiom's Generals?" Minako looked down at the man she was sitting on and smiled. Quickly she stood up to look like a lady while Makoto still lounged on the floor. She soon got the hint and stood up.

"I am very ashamed of you five. Now, I want you all cleaned up and ready in thirty minutes. We can't keep Prince Endyiom waiting all day." With that, she turned and walked away. Minako glared at Makoto.

"You know, this is all your fault that we started the flour fight."

"Actually Minako, it's yours."

"How could it be mine? You're the one that threw it at me!"

"If I don't remember correctly, you're the one that started laughing."

"Yeah! That's because you said that the Generals are gentlemen!"

"Well, if you don't mind me saying, you were saying they're cute!"

"Hey! I met one! I should know!"

"Was it your dearest Kunzite?" asked Makoto. She gasped.

"How did you find out?"

"Do you think I'm deaf? I can hear well you know."

"Please you two. Finish this later in the training room! Right now we have people to meet," said Ami. Makoto sighed.

"You're right. Training room right after the meeting." They all separated in different directions.

An: So, what do you think?
