Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ A Lost Love ❯ four ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 4

He looked down at the Princess in his arms. This was wrong. All wrong. He didn't mean for it to get out of hand this much with both of them in this bed together through the night like husband and wife. It was too late to change what happened now. What was done was done. He looked down see her stir in his arms and smile once her emerald eyes opened.

"Nephlite." She snuggled closer to him and closed her eyes gently. There was a knock on her door that made her eyes suddenly flicker open.

"Makoto, it's Minako. I wanted to tell you that you are to come to Earth for Serenity and Endyiom's wedding. I can tell that Nephlite is already so, could you tell him once you get up? I'll let you sleep. If you need to speak with me, I'll be in the usual room." She heard the footsteps leave them.

"War will break out if your father finds us together like this," said Nephlite.

"He never comes to my room early in the morning. The only ones that come is one of the senshi

or my maid." He looked deep into her eyes and smiled.

"I love you Makoto. Always and forever I will." She smiled gently while her hand went against his cheek.

"And I will always love you no matter what." His lips met hers gently, tasting her sweet lips once again, feeling her soft skin against his body. There was a knock on the door which caused them to part.

"Makoto, I need to speak with you," said a male voice.

"I'll be down for breakfast, then we can talk father. I'm getting ready right now."

"I must speak with you right now. It's about the General from Earth."

"Please speak to me through the door." Both of them seperated and started getting dressed.

"I happened to notice how close you two were last night and I thought that I would have you marry him instead of that Prince. I was a General of Earth once and I was able to marry your mother so, I wish to speak to the Queen of Earth and ask permission but, I need to know something Makoto. He's in there with you right now, correct?" She froze all of a sudden and looked over at Nephlite who was buttoning up his white undershirt. She looked at the door

starting to open and quickly raced over to it but, it opened before she could reach it. Her father turned on the light and looked at Nephlite buttoning his outer grey uniform coat. He looked at Makoto who's dress was unbottoned in the back. Then his eyes traveled to the bed of messy sheets and blanket at the end of the bed. He glared at the General and his daughter.

"This is what you two do behind my back? For all you know you could be marrying that Prince! How dare you do that to my daughter without my concent! Get out of here and never come back! You're not welcome in my Kingdom. I banish you from Jupiter and from ever seeing my daughter. If you ever touch her again, I will kill you myself!" Nephlite bowed.

"I understand your majesty." He then left walking past him. Minako quickly ran in.

"What's going on here?" she asked. King Jupiter turned to her.

"I want you to make sure that Makoto never sees Nephlite again. If she does, I want you to inform me personally. Get her ready for the wedding. How long will she be staying?"

"One week. We still have to get her dress fitted, and we have to decorate. There is a ball following the weddding. I hope you don't mind." He shook his head.

"Don't let her out of your sight." With that, he left slamming the door behing him. Minako rushed over to her friend who was in tears. She hugged her gently as she sobbed.

"Oh Makoto. Tell me what happened to you. I need to know."

"I tried getting dressed as quickly as I could so he wouldn't find out what happened. He came into the room after a minute of telling me that I could marry Nephlite. The he changed his mind."

"Makoto, what did you and Nephlite do to upset him?"

"He loved me Minako. He loved me all night as no man has ever done to me. The first man that had made me into a woman. Please, you must let me see him no matter what." Minako nodded with a small smile.

"I will," she whispered and hugged her friend.

Makoto was stuck with women fitting her for her dress along with the other girls. They were going to be wearing baby blue while Serenity wore of course white. She gave a sigh of relief once they were finished and she could go and help decorate the palace. Her and Minako decided to take over the kitchen where she was making a desert for dinner that night. Minako was making the frosting and cutting up the strawberries while Makoto was making the cake.

"You love him, don't you?" asked Minako looking at her friend. She nodded.

"What's the story behind you and Kunzite?" she asked. Minako blushed.

"We have this fling going on during the nights where he reads poetry to me during the night. How about you meet me out in the garden tonight so that I can give you a tour?" Makoto smiled.

"I'd like that very much." They continued doing what they were doing in silence while thoughts passed through their heads.

Oh. I miss Nephlite so much. I didn't know that I had such a great man in my grasps until he was gone. What a fool I am to have not seen that. I feel so stupid. I wish that I could have met him sooner than that one day that Rei and I had snuck here. Then I probably would have found love quicker.

She sighed and placed the batter into the oven where it could bake. It was at least four more days until the wedding and masked dance. Someone was here from Jupiter and she knew it too well. He was always around her to make sure that she wouldn't go around Nephlite. She hated it so much because he would check up on her during the night, be outside her door. She felt like a prisioner here on Earth. No freedom to do what she pleased. That's what she hated. Not having freedom. That's all she wanted to have. She frosted the cake gently while Minako decorated it with strawberries and more frosting around the edges. Makoto walked out, leaving her friend behind her. She went to her room where she shut the door behind her. She closed her eyes where she fell into a deep sleep that she knew she needed very much.

AN: Sorry that this is short but, that's all that I could think of. Hope it didn't offend anyone.
