Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Children of Earth ❯ Damien's Story: Section 2 ( Chapter 5 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Damien yawned, stretching his arms as he stepped out of the portal. Turning around he waited, watching as a small girl with double odongos and long brown hair stepped out after him. He sighed. "Alright Chibi, wheres Endy?"

Endia scowled. "Call me Endia."

Damien smiled. "fine, Chibi. Where is Endy?"

"He wasn't with you?"

"No. He wasn't. Hmph, probably decided to stop playing the innocent prince."

"Whats that mean?"

Damien smiled. "I'll tell you when your older. Come on, mother will have my head if your not in bed on time."

"I'm not a child, I can stay up."

"Sure you can. You just can't leave your room."

"What?"

He smiled, holding up a key. "I'm locking you in."

"What? No." She tried to snatch the key, only to have it pulled out of reach.

"Demitri will just have to wait until morning to see you."

Endia folded her arms in a scowl. "Demitri is my friend."

"Oh of course, he told you that didn't he?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I see the way he looks at you. You think I haven't noticed how you've been developing. Yea, I know exactly how those older guys think, they want one thing only."

"Your being unfair."

"Your too young, he's too old." He lead her into her room. "And no one is touching my little sister."

"I'll scream."

Damien looked at his little sister, grinning slightly. "You do that."
He shut the door and turned the key, making sure it was locked. Whistling he stuffed the key into his pocket and approached his room, opening the door. Damien grinned, smiling at the young green eyed blonde on the bed before shutting the door behind him.

****************************************

"Did you have fun last night Endy?"

Endymion glanced at his brother before continuing down the path. "I heard you locked Endia in her room tonight."

Damien grinned, tossing the key up and down. "So she told you."

"Yes, right after she climbed out the window."

Damien frowned slightly, but continued walking. "Maybe I should lock you in your room as well. When did you make it home last night?"

"Now you sound like mother.."

"No no, Just wondering if baby brother decided to catch up on my experience. Perhaps with a certain princess?"

Endymion's face turned bright cherry red. "No, nothing like that. Nothing happened."

"Oh. Well then, what did happen?"

"We just talked."

"Oh I see, the ancient art of chit chat."

"Damien. You don't 'Chit Chat' with Princess Serenity. Her words are worthy of poetry."

Damien stared at his brother and smirked. "Very well then. What do two poets speak of when alone together?"

Endymion grinned. "Several things. None of which you will ever hear me repeat. Did you enjoy the ball?"

Damien shrugged. "Wouldn't say I'd want to return but it wasn't a complete waste."

"Hm. Yes, I saw the blonde sneaking out. You should be more careful, Mother and father wouldn't be too happy about your behaviors."

"Yes, they would rather I take after my little brother."

"Hm. I'll tell you what, you come to te next ball, I won't tell them."

"What?!"

Endymion smirked. "You heard me."

"Thats blackmail Endy."

"Yes, it is."

Damien sighed. "A dark day when a prince may be tricked by his own dear brother."

Endymion grinned. "Cheer up, at least it will get mother off your back."



Damien scowled, glancing across the grounds to a young woman of long red hair, Beryl. "There she is again."

Endymion nodded while Damien continued. "She seems less clumsier than last time doesn't she?"

"Brother."

Damien grinned. "Relax, she's still cute."

"Damien, I'm warning you."

"Relax Endy. I don't try to bed every woman I meet."

"No, just the majority of them." He sighed, following his brother over to the priestess.

Beryl looked up immediatly as the two princes approached. "Prince Damien, Prince Endymion. What gives me the honor?"

Damien grinned. "We'd just like to say hello. Your the new priestess right?"

Beryl nodded. "Yes. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well there are several th..ow!" Damien winced as an elbow was jabbed into his side. "I was only kidding."

Endymion turned to Beryl. "Actually we'd just like to welcome you to earth."

"Oh." Beryl smiled. "Well..thank you." She bowed before hurrying off.

Damien grinned. "I think the priestess has a crush on you Endy."

"What? How can you even tell?"

"I can tell."

Endymion rolled his eyes. "Yea, sure. Just make sure you have something to wear to the next ball."

Damien folded his arms, watching as his brother walked away. "You know I'm going to get you back."

"Doubt it."


Damien raised an eyebrow, turning around to go in the opposite direction. He wandered down the cooridors glancing at the passerbys every few moments. Finally he stepped outside again, walking down the path, searching until his eyes fell upon a man in black armor and gauntlets, long black hair and crimson eyes.

"Just the man I'm looking for!"

The man turned around, looking at Damien. "Damien."

Damien smiled. "Oh, Damien is only for my close friends. Call me Prince Damien. Demitri right?" He offered his hand.

Demitri nodded, taking Damien's hand. "Yes."

Damien smiled, pulling Demitri towarda him thaen letting go and putting an arm around his neck. "Come on, we'll talk."

Demitri looked at Damien as he lead him towards the archery range. "So, Demitri. You like my sister, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Really? What exactly do you like about her? She pretty? Nice personality? Nice looks? Great breasts?"

"Well..."

"You like archery too?"

"Never tried it."

"Really? I prefer the sword mostly. Makes a nice clean cut." He smiled, drawing his sword, running his fingers along the blade. "Take a look, go on."

Demitri looked at Damien, then examined it. "It looks okay."

Damien nodded. "pick up that shield."

Demitri looked at Damien in confusion, but picked it up.

Damien smiled. "Good, hold it there." He smiled, raising his sword, bringing it down in a swift motion. The steel shield held for a moment then split into two clean halves, dropping to the floor. "Whenever you think of touching my sister, just remember that shield."

"Damien!"

Damien turned around, lowering his sword. He stared right into the face of Endia. "Chibi. Me and Demitri were just having a friendly little chat."

Endia folded her arms, scowling. "Right." She turned to Demitri. "Don't let him bother you Demitri. He's just trying to scare you."

He sheathed his sword. "I'm just looking out for the welfare of my baby sister."

Endia scowled. "Yea, right."

****************************

"Ready?"

Da mien looked up, fastening his cape. "Yea, sure. I don't know why you talk me into these things."

Endymion smirked. "I don't."

"Hmph, thats right. You conive, bribe and blackmail me into these things." He checked himself in the mirror, then turned back to his brother. "Endia coming?"

"Of course."

Damien nodded. "Lets go."

****************************

Damien scowled, slipping out of the room. He nodded politely as a small group entered the moon palace, dressed in their finest clothing. Damn it was hard to breathe, the air was so thin it was difficult to get a good breath. Leaning against the wall he closed his eyes, trying to draw in one long breath. How did he ever let himself get tricked into these things? Shaking his head he slipped back inside, taking another breath before stepping back into the ballroom.

He scanned the area, glancing around at the dancers and managing to pick out at least three princesses, none of whom were Serenity or his sister. His eyes moved more slowly over the ballroom when a glimpse of purple caught his eye. He looked back until he caught it again, it was a girl. Not just any girl, this one was different. She could be no more then a little over five feet, wearing a silk magenta dress and choker, a rainbow glow reflecting off her chest from some type of jewel she was wearing. Her hair was a mass of delicate tight purple curls that extended just past her shoulder and a few strands that layed gently, elegantly over her forhead. But her eyes stood out among everything else. Intense violet orbs that seemed to take in everything around her, drawing attention immediatly, gorgeous long lashes. She was captivating, everything about her was enchanting.
She was dancing with young man, a knight. Watching her she didn't appear to be enjoying herself. The way her eyes looked, glazed over like she wasn't listening, didn't care.
He watched as the song ended and she broke away from her partner, alone once again. Without thinking he began to approach, narrowing the distance between her.

"Your Prince Damien right?"

Damien turned his head, looking at a girl with short aqua blue hair, a blue dress. "Yes."

"I'm Princess Ami, Endia's told me about you."

Damien nodded, looking back and noticing to his disapointment the girl had taken another partner. He frowned, then turned back to Ami. "Anything good?"

She smiled. "She says you don't like travelling off planet."

"She's right."

Ami nodded. "Yes..well..have fun."

"Yea, you too."

He watched as Ami went away then turned back to the girl. She was gone.
