Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Destiny ❯ One Week Later ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5 - One week later -

 

Seiya blinked as the morning sunrays beamed through his window. He held up his hand to block the rays. “Oh Man, what a headache…” He sat up in his bed and looked around. After Princess Serenity left to go to earth, he was moved into the new quarters with the other guards. Taiki was picking up empty bottles from all around Seiya's bed. Seiya smiled sheepishly. Every night he drank himself to sleep. Hoping that his dream would come true. That Serenity would come back to him in one-week time. The drink never did much of anything else though… just helped him sleep. He pulled his legs out of the bed and moaned.

 

“Oh, the joys of drinking.” Taiki said sarcastically. Seiya glared at the guy. Seiya did not say anything though, his head hurt too badly. He stood up and grabbed a towel. He then stumbled off towards the showers.

 

Taiki picked up another bottle and shook his head. “He is going to drink himself to death if she keeps this up.”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Yaten kissed Minako on the lips. He then pulled away from her and looked deeply into her eyes. “I love you, Minako!”

 

Minako smiled and then a tall dark guy grabbed her from behind and pulled her away from him. “Princess Minako is MINE!” The guy yelled and he and Minako vanished.

 

Yaten fell to his knees and a single tear fell. “Minako…”

 

“MINAKO!!!!!!!!” Yaten screamed at the top of his lungs as he flung himself up in his bed. Yaten tried to calm his racing heart by slowing his breathing. It did not work. In one week, Minako will be wedded to a prince from another world. Yaten grabbed his blankets and balled them up in his fists. “I love her…” He shook his head. “I hate these fucking rules.” A tear fell on his hand.

 

Seiya stumbled into the room and looked at Yaten. “I know how you feel.” Seiya kicked his feet out as he fell onto his bed. “It's worst then a knife…”

 

Yaten humphed and grabbed a towel. “I won't sit around night and day drinking my self to death.” He stormed out of the room.

 

Seiya grabbed a shoe and started to put it on. “Guess I should put on my pants first huh?” He then proceeded to get dressed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Yaten and Seiya stood in the transportation room. They were assigned to insure that everyone came and went safely. Seiya looked at the transporter; hopping Serenity would appear before him. He sighed.

 

The queen came in and looked at the two guards. “Um, Yaten, I need you over in the hall. There's no one guarding that area.”

 

Yaten nodded his head and followed the queen. Seiya lowered his head a little. He was a lone now. He watched as a couple transported in. They looked so happy. She smiled up at him with dreamy eyes.

 

Seiya looked away. “Enough!” He whispered to himself. He then regained himself.

One girl gushed in happiness as she teleported in. She looked at Seiya, ran to him, and hugged him.

“Did you hear what is going on with the royals?”

Seiya looked down at the girl. “Princess Minako!”

Her smiled brightened. “You have to hear this, where's Yaten?”

He then took her towards Yaten's guard post.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Yaten slumped against the wall. “Ok, I am now officially bored.” He began to yawn.

 

“ATTENTION!”

 

Yaten jumped up and stood as straight as he could. He glanced over to see a girl laughing at him. He turned his head, ready to bark at the girl, when he saw whom she was. He forgot himself and embraced the laughing girl.

 

“Yaten! I am so excited! You will never guess in a million years what has happened on earth!”

 

Yaten looked up at Seiya. “Serenity and Endymion broke up?”

 

Minako shook her head. “Way better!”

 

Yaten shrugged his shoulders and Seiya lowered his head a tad, not caring what happened.

 

“The Prince and Princess are now king and queen and they past a law that all of the planets agreed on!” She looked at Seiya and then back at Yaten. “There will be no more arranged marriages! Royalty can marry whom ever they want!”

 

Yaten started to choke. “You're kidding!”

 

Minako shook her head. “I am free!!” Yaten embraced the girl and swung her around.

 

“Princess- no- Queen Serenity did it! She freed everyone! That is amazing!” Yaten beamed. “It only took one week!”

 

Minako nodded. “Did you have anything you wanted to ask me?”

 

Yaten looked into the air. “Um… no. OH! Will you be spending the night?!”

 

Seiya burst out laughing as Minako stomped on Yaten's foot.

 

“What was that for?!” He yelled.

 

Seiya put his arm around Yaten. “Yaten, don't be stupid all of your life.”

 

Yaten looked at Seiya with a frown. “Huh? Look who's talking!”

 

Seiya took his arm away and gave Minako a hug. “I think I should return to my post. This is wonderful news, Princess.” He then left the couple.

 

Minako turned to Yaten who was blushing. “Um, I better go and get a room. I'll stay tonight, unless I am asked to stay longer.” She then walked past Yaten.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Seiya stood at his post till the sun began to set. He yawned and another guard relieved him of his duty. He decided to walk to a place that he had not been for a while. The place where he first kissed Serenity. He walked into the room where all of his rose bushes were. He looked in the middle at the two that symbolized Serenity and himself. He turned on the lights and saw something move in the room. He quickly pulled out his sword and aimed it in the direction of the movement. “Who ever you are, you are trespassing on royal property! Stand up and come quietly and no harm will…”

 

The trespasser stood up. She looked at Seiya and smiled. Seiya lowered his sword. “Why are you not on Earth?”

 

The Prince's maid walked over to Seiya. “Well, I had come back. I had made a promise that I intend to keep.” She smiled at him.

 

“How did you find this room?” Seiya looked into her eyes searching them for answers.

 

The maid smiled. “You showed it to me.”

 

Seiya looked at her more deeply and he saw a piece of cloth wrapped around her forehead. He slowly reached to it and pulled it off. “Serenity!” The crescent moon glowed on her forehead.

 

He embraced her and began to cry. “How?! When did you leave…”

 

“I never married the prince. I'm still single.”

 

Seiya pushed her back and looked deeply into her eyes. “What a min, I - oh my god! Why didn't I see it before! You would have never taken the purifying bath on your own, or wear your hair in a single bun, or wear a tiara all day long! Serenity!”

 

She smiled and kissed him deeply on the lips. “I was surprised that we did pull it off.”

 

Seiya looked at her. “What happened that night?”

 

Serenity lowered her head. “Well…”

 

~FLASH BACK ~

 

Seiya walked Serenity to her room. His clothes were completely drenched. “Oh man, I look like I was shipped wrecked.”

Serenity giggled a little and turned to face him. “Thank you for saving me, Seiya-san.” She winked at him and he blushed.

“It's my job.” He put his arm behind his head and laughed nervously.

“Princess Serenity?” Prince Endymion said. He had walked up beside Seiya. “I need to speak with you in private.” Serenity nodded and turned to her room. Prince Endymion turned to Seiya. “The only person allowed in this room is my maid, this is a private matter.”

Seiya stood at attention and bowed.

“What the hell happened to you anyways?” The Prince raised an eyebrow.

“The Princess slipped and started to drown-“

“What ever don't let anyone in!” He then slammed the door in Seiya's face.

“Serenity,” Prince Endymion said once he shut the door. He turned to her and smiled. “I need your help.”

Serenity looked at him funny.

“I do not love you. You do not love me. I think it is awful to make two people marry only because they are royal.”

Serenity nodded in agreement.

“I heard you with your friends tonight.”

Serenity looked away. “I was afraid that you did.” She lowered her eyes. “Are you mad?”

“No, quite the contrary! That is why I need your help! I am in love with my maid. Her name is Tohur. She has blonde hair and blue eyes like you.” Endymion walked to Serenity. She sat on her bed, watching him with interest.

There was a nock on the door and the maid walked in with a cart. Endymion watched as Serenity smiled. The maid closed the door.

“Hello Princess Serenity,” Tohur said. She did a curtsy.

“I would like you to both switch places that way I can marry Tohur. However, the price is that you will be coming with us to Earth, we can change this stupid rule. It will only take one week, and then I'll dismiss you and you can go back to the moon… back to Seiya.”

Serenity's heart raced. She only had to be gone for one week. She did not need to marry the prince any more… she could be with Seiya. She glowed. “Lets do it!”

Tohur smiled and ran to Endymion. He embraced the girl.

“How long is your hair?” Serenity asked.

Tohur shook her head, “It's only down to my knees.”

Serenity pulled some pins from her own hair and handed them to Tohur. “Put your hair in a bun.” She nodded and began to do so.

Serenity opened her dresser drawer and pulled out a pair of scissors. She sighed and looked in the mirror for a moment. She undid the rest of her hair. She then cut her hair to the length of her knees. She replaced the scissors and pulled out a beautiful tiara. “My mother gave this to me a week ago. This would hide where the crescent moon is.” She informed Tohur. She then placed it on her head and smiled. “As long as no one thinks anything funny of the two new things, everything will be fine. With the wedding, it should be really easy.” Serenity smiled. She then tied her hair back as how the maid originally had it. They both looked at Endymion.

“Um, if you do not mind.” Serenity said. The prince blushed and turned around. The two girls traded their dresses.

Serenity smiled at the other girl once they finished the trade. “Don't forget, I am to have a Purifying bath in the night hours before the wedding.” She winked and grabbed the cart. She opened the door and saw Seiya standing there, looking confused. She looked up at Seiya and scooted the cart out the door. She smiled at Seiya and closed the door. She then walked down the hall.

 

~ End of Flash Back ~

 

Serenity grabbed the cloth from Seiya's hand and started to tie it around her forehead again. “So I am free.” She smiled even brighter. “Along with everyone else in the whole galaxy!”

 

“What should I call you? I can't really call you Serenity, can I?”

 

She shook her head. “My new name is Usagi.”

 

He smiled. “Usagi!” He embraced her once again and she pulled him to the ground.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Later that same night

 

Yaten dragged himself down the hall. He yawned as he finally reached the room he shared with all of the guards. He opened the door slowly and quickly went in. He put his package that he bought to the side and he tried to feel around the floor for Seiya's empty bottles. He felt and felt. He became alert and rushed to Seiya's bed. Empty. Yaten could only think of one reason. “He killed himself!” Yaten rushed out the door and down the hall. He hated to run but what if Seiya was still alive?! Clinging to life?

 

Yaten remembered that Seiya spent a lot of time in a rose bush room that he had done up. All Yaten could picture was Seiya's lifeless corpse hanging from the ceiling. He busted the door open and scanned the room.

 

“GET OUT OF HERE!!!” Seiya roared.

 

Yaten looked towards the bench and saw Seiya with a girl… naked. Yaten became bright red. “OH UM! OH… SHIT! I THOUGHT YOU HAD KILLED YOURSELF!!!!” He let his temper go, half out of embarrassment, other half just because.

 

Seiya tried to cover the girl. “DO YOU MIND?!”

 

Yaten looked at the girl and gasped. “Serenity!” He saw the crescent moon on her forehead.

 

Seiya pulled some clothes off the ground and covered up Usagi. He then wrapped a shirt around his waist. He grabbed his sword. “YATEN!!!” He then charged the white haired person who quickly ran out, fearing for his life.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The next morning Minako had decided to go out into the garden alone. She hummed a song, as she smelt the beautiful flowers. She leaned her head back to enjoy the sun's rays.

 

“What a beautiful day, huh?”

Minako was surprised by the new voice. She smiled when she saw the white hair. “Yaten!” She rushed over to him, but he put up his hand. His face had some shadows on it but it looked as if he had a small smile on his face.

 

“Princess-“

 

“Please, just call me Minako!” She interrupted.

 

Yaten let out a small laugh. “Minako, I have a serious question to ask of you. I need a serious answer.”

 

Minako looked at him blankly.

 

Yaten got onto one knee. Minako squealed. “ Minako, will you please be my bride?”

 

Tears flowed down her face as he pulled out a little box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful engagement ring. It was white gold with a heart shaped diamond in side of it.

 

She fell to her knees and embraced him. “YES YES YES!!!!” She then pulled away to look at him.

 

He pulled the ring out of the box to put it on her finger.

 

“Yaten, where did you get that black eye from?”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

On the other side of town, two people of no royalty looked into each other's eyes. The shop clerk cleared his throat and the two broke their gaze.

 

“I think this ring is just right.” Seiya said to the clerk. He looked back at Usagi. “How about you?”

 

Usagi leaned into him. “It's just perfect.” She studied the gold ring with a heart shaped diamond and four little stars surrounding it. “I'm so happy, Seiya.”

 

They then kissed deeply.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“Ami,” Taiki said. After hearing that the curse was broken and the royals were aloud to marry whom ever they wanted to, Taiki jumped into the transported and beamed to mercury. He had never left the moon before so he felt weird on mercury.

 

“TAIKI!”

 

Taiki stood still and looked towards the voice. There was his beautiful Ami. She was rushing towards him, with a smile on her face. “AMI!” He broke into a run.

 

Ami jumped into his arms and he swung her around in a circle. “I LOVE YOU TAIKI!”

 

Taiki's heart jumped into his throat. “Ami, I love you too!” He put her back onto the ground.

 

“Why did you come here?” Ami asked teary eyed.

 

“I wanted to confess my love for you… and give you this.” He handed her a box. She looked to be afraid of the box, but then she grabbed it from him. She opened it and gasped as she fell to her knees.

 

“Taiki! Is this?”

 

Taiki got onto one knee and smiled at Ami. “Will you, if it is?”

 

Ami burst out crying. The emotions were too much.

 

“Did I-“

 

“YES YES! I WILL! I DO! YES!” She threw herself into his arms and squeezed him tightly. “I love you so much, Taiki!”

 

“I love you too, Ami.”

 

They then kissed for the first time… but never the last. For this love is eternal.
