Author Usagirl

A/N: Hello everyone. I would just like to say thank you for all the wonderful reviews. No one has ever reviewed that many times for the first chapter to any of my stories. *sniffs* I'm so happy you liked. I also want to say thank you for the people that emailed me. Also that part before this was the prologue. I numbered it wrong so everything you read is building up to that point so this is before the prologue . Do you understand? If not ya will, kay?

In the eyes of Innocence

Dear Serenity,

Its been such a long time since I've seen you last. Almost ten years I believe. How are the girls? I am sure they have grown into beautiful young ladies like their mother. The reason I write is my son has become quite... active in other young women's lives and I think it is about time he settled down with a proper young wife. All the women he sees I wouldn't exactly call proper, more of a... nuisance you could say. In your last letter you said how your daughters have been educated to be proper young wives. This is a chance for our two families to be joined as one. And I am sure once my Mamoru takes a look at any of your daughters he will be in love. I have the whole thing planned out, so that Damien doesn't even know. All he knows is an old friend of mine is coming for a visit. There are plenty of rooms here for you and your daughters. Please come by next week or it may be too late because my son's latest 'friend' is somewhat of a tramp. Take no offence, but I do not want her in my family. Please help me in my son's future.

Your dearest Friend,

Augusta

Serenity smiled. At last her family and Augusta's would be joined. Plus she wouldn't have to worry about one of her daughter's well being, only which one if forced, would Mamoru choose. All three were very lovely, but Haruka was a bit of a tomboy. She could act like a perfect young lady if she wanted to but unfortunately she never did. Minako was well, Minako. She was the only one of her daughters that craved attention and needed to be in the spotlight. In all truth she could get almost any man if she tried hard enough. Haruka and Minako both looked more like their father with golden hair and sky blue eyes. And last was Usagi, her little bunny. Usagi was so unlike her sisters. Throughout the years her two daughters had realized the harsh cruelty of the world, but Usagi was left untainted. So pure and innocent, just as when she was little. This was because she felt such a great protectiveness over her youngest daughter and Haruka shared that protectiveness. She smiled again. Haruka would never let someone so much as look at Usagi the wrong way. Serenity chuckled.

"Naru can you come here for a minute?" her well defined voice called out.

"Yes Ma'am?" Naru asked as she hurried into the room.

"I would like you to give this message to my daughters. We will be leaving in two days to visit my friend Augusta's home. Tell them that they should be packed by tomorrow and that we will be leaving early the next morning. Will you do that for me?" Naru nodded her head. "Very well then you are excused."

And with that Naru scurried off for the three girls. Haruka she found by the horses and she merely nodded and grunted a reply. Minako she found in her room gushing over herself in the mirror. After the message she had been told was passed on to Minako, she got starry eyed.

"Oh a trip. I love trips! I hope there is a good place to shop nearby and..." Naru had left the room as Minako started to talk rapidly to herself. Usagi was a bit harder to find. First Naru checked her room, then the library, then the field, but alas she wasn't there. Naru's feet were starting to get tired. Finally, she saw Usagi lying down in the rose garden. If any male was on the estate he would have been completely stunned by what he say. Usagi was lying on the ground surrounded by rose petals. Her little pink lips were parted as she breathed. Her cheeks were rosy from the slight wind that brushed against and her silver hair was laying in disarray. In Naru's opinion she looked absolutely heavenly. Such a shame to wake up the sleeping girl but she had orders to tell her to pack by tomorrow.

Naru walked up to Usagi and bent down.

"Miss Usagi? Miss Usagi?" Naru whispered gently touched her shoulder. Usagi merely murmured than went back to her own little world.

"Miss Usagi you need to wake up," Naru stated as she gently shook her more rapidly. Beautiful cerulean eyes opened. Even now it amazed Naru how beautiful a fifteen year old could be.

"Naru what do you need?" Usagi's serene voice asked. Her voice almost sounded childlike.

"Miss Usagi, I am sorry I had to wake you up, but your mother wanted me to tell you something."

"What is it Naru?" Usagi's eyes were now curious.

"You and your family are going to be leaving two day's from now to visit your mother's friend Lady Augusta's home. You need to be packed by tomorrow," Naru replied. Usagi gave a brilliant smile that would have made the coldest of hearts melt.

"Thank you, Naru. I will go start packing. Goodbye," Usagi said as she nearly ran into her room. Naru couldn't help but giggle.

"She gets so excited, just like a wee one," and she giggled again. By the time the day they were to leave arrived, everyone was ready and willing to go except for Usagi who was having a hard time getting out of bed.

"Come on lazy bones. Get up, everything is ready to go except you. Get up!" Haruka called out. Usagi mumbled and turned over.

"I take that as your not getting up, so..." Haruka reached down and pulled her out of bed, got her dressed and ready, then carried her out to the carriage.

"She's still asleep?" Serenity questions. Haruka nodded her head and she merely sighed.

"Oh well we better get a move on." And with that they entered the carriage and set off.

*********

"But mother why do I have to be here? It's not like they are my friends," Mamoru complained.

"But they are mine and you are my son and you will be there," she stated firmly. They had been having this same argument for the past twenty minutes.

"There are other things I could be doing," Mamoru whined, which seemed oddly out of place for a 21 year old.

"Like what? One of your little tramps?" Augusta fired back. She was absolutely sick of this. Mamoru was shocked that his mother had even suggested such a thing.

"Mother..." Mamoru voice was astonished.

"Don't Mother me. I know exactly what you do with those 'girls'. And when the day comes that you were birthed from another woman or married, then we will talk but now you will listen to me and that's final." Mamoru merely nodded his head in acceptance. "They should be here any time now, so be ready." She said in a pleasant voice again. Forty minutes later the carriage was heading down the pathway towards the house. Augusta scrambled out of the house in a frenzied happiness. Trailing behind her was a reluctant Mamoru. As the carriage came to a stop a footman stepped off the carriage and opened the door. The first person to step out was an older woman. She had silver hair and dark blue eyes.

"Serenity!" Augusta exclaimed.

"Augusta!" She exclaimed and ran to each other like school girls.

"How I've missed! You look better than ever. And I believe that is your son standing behind you."

"Yes, this is Mamoru. You haven't changed a bit Serenity."

"Augusta, he has grown so much. He's not the same little boy I remember. Now for you to meet my girls." The footman stood outside the carriage stretched out a hand to help the next young lady out, only to have it batted away.

"I don't need your help thank you very much," said an indignant voice as a tall blonde with shoulder length blonde hair stepped out of the carriage.

"This is Haruka." Next a well cultured hand was placed on the footman's hand and out stepped a blonde with waist length hair and blue eyes.

"This is Minako." And lastly a small delicate hand was placed on the footman's as he helped her out. Her silver mane reached the ground and her innocent cerulean eyes looked around curiously.

"And this is my baby bunny, Usagi," Serenity said proudly. Augusta was somewhere between awe and shock.

"She looks just like you Serenity."

*******

Mamoru hadn't been paying much attention as the first two girls stepped out of the carriage but as the third stepped out he was knocked over by her beauty.

"...my baby bunny, Usagi."

"She looks just like you Serenity." Mamoru was stunned. 'Such beauty, such grace so lovely. Must have her, must...'

"Mamoru."
