Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Jamech ❯ chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

Serenity tossed and turned upon her goose down bed. In her dream, she heard the sound of pounding hoof-beats, tearing up the earth in a mad gallop. She saw Bye, running, but from what? She sensed terror in his eyes, his very soul. She screamed. Mamoru ran to her side and gently shook her until she awoke. "Serenity, Hun, it's just a nightmare. Look at me, look at me. Shhhh.." He kissed her forehead before continuing, "What was your dream?" Serenity looked up at him, her trembling hands found away to his. Her blue eyes shimmered softly. "I heard hoof beats. Frantic whinnying I've no clue what it meant, but I know it was An'nu's horse, Bye. He was troubled, and it makes me worry about An'nu." Mamoru simply sighed, and stroked her cheek gently with his hand. "My sweet, it'll be ok. I promise, nothing will happen to her." Serenity nodded, finding slight comfort in her husband's words. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep.
Mamoru backed away from her, and doused the torches lighting their chamber. He went towards the gracious window on the opposite side of the room. He glanced out at the sky, stars shining brightly. He longed for all the world to get away from this boring life. He missed the action of fighting evil, coming in and saving Serenity when she needed him the most. He didn't mind castle life, mind you, but he was a man meant for excitement. He simply shrugged his shoulders as he sighed. He realized he may never again see the opportunity to help his wife in battle. He turned and slowly walked towards the door, then gently opened it, before leaving their chamber and heading towards the fire room..

"Artemis, this is it! This is where Bye lives." Luna cried out, Artemis was a good three or four paces ahead of her. He slowed down and eventually stopped, he glanced back and watched as Luna approached, and came to a stop as well. He turned and looked at the house. They had arrived at the backside, where a medium sized pasture was. A barn also came into his view. It was tall, and very wide. He thought it could possibly hold thirty or more horses easily. He started to walk forward, Luna following him, and headed towards the barn. To bye's stall.
In a matter of five minutes, they reached the barn, and it was easy enough to find his stall. Bye's head was sticking out of his stall with his ears perked forward. He could hear them coming down the hill from the woods, across the pasture and into the barn. He nickered softly at the strange creatures. He'd never seen a cat in his life. He was used to crossing paths with the occasional snake or squirrel, but a cat? He flared his nostrils as the creatures approached him, and took in their scent. He didn't recognize it, but whinnied anyway to greet them. Luna jumped up on the edge of his stall door, balancing perfectly on the frame of it. She looked into his eyes, and began to speak something in an ancient tongue. Bye just simply started to turn his ears about, occasionally stopping to listen to her. 'He doesn't understand" Thought Artemis, "He doesn't remember.' Luna realized this too, and hopped back down to where Artemis stood. Bye, seeing that the creature was gone, turned and walked to the back of his tall, and finished what was left of his hay, as a breeze from the opened window swept through. The breeze rustled his mane, as well as some of the hay that made up the bedding in his stall. Artemis and Luna sighed as they walked out of the barn, but stopped at the entrance. "Perhaps, Artemis, we should stay here with him. You know keep an eye out for him. Perhaps we can restore his memories back one day. I'm sure if any of the senshi need us, they will send someone to get us." Artemis nodded and replied, "Yes, I think it's a fine plan. We'll just sleep in the stall next to his." Luna nodded, and followed him. They jumped on top of the stall door then down into the stall..

Rei sat in front of the fire, head bowed and eyes closed as she watched the scene. It scared her to see this stranger in An'nu's house. She panicked and came out of her trance. She sat straight and gathered her thoughts. She left the room and ran frantically, trying to find someone, anyone to tell the news too. In her dash, she wasn't really watching where she was going, and the hall was dark. Before she knew it, she had run into the outer senshi. A loud thud could be heard, as Hotaru, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Rei were in a pile on the floor. "What the hell is your hurry Rei! You fool, we could've all been seriously hurt!" Haruka shouted at Rei, as she sat up rubbing the back of her head. Michiru sat up as well as the others, looking at Rei confusion vivid in their faces. "I'm so sorry all of you! Gomen Nasai! But I saw some stranger in An'nu's house and I thought I should tell someone. Please forgive me for being so careless!" Rei said, as she stood up, straightening her kimono. "Oh, it's all right Rei, don't let Haruka fool you, she's just a little cranky" Hotaru said as the rest stood up as well, looking at Rei for a little bit more of an explanation. The light of the moon shone through the windows in the hall. Their silhouettes reminded each other of ghosts. Their shadows on the wall, tall and exaggerated. There was no sound in the hall now, as they all stood silent for a moment. No one knew what to do. Michiru wasn't sure about what she was going to input into the conversation, but she quickly said something. "Well, there really isn't anything we can do is there? Perhaps she does know this stranger, but doesn't remember him. Anyway, I think we should just wait and see what happens." Rei only nodded. They all started walking towards their chambers now, for sleep is what they truly needed...

An'nu and Jamech stood there now. Not a word said, as a breeze flowed in through one of the open windows in the living room. He looked at her, as the same stubborn and angry look splayed on her face. She wanted him gone, she didn't want this stranger in her house. Even though she found him drop dead sexy, she wanted him gone. The sun was setting now, and it was pushing seven o'clock. "Whether you like it or not I'm not leaving. At least not for long." He laughed again, this time he stopped shortly to look into her eyes. He didn't realize the brilliant emerald green they were, before. She looked at him questioningly but snorted disapproval of him anyway. He laughed as he took his index finger and tilted her chin up. He then kissed her on the lips. It was no ordinary kiss, it was a long lingering gentle kiss. It was meant to tease her, and she was shocked. She only stood there, and not thinking about what she was doing, returned the kiss. He then pulled away and laughed softly, "You kiss well, for a sixteen year old." He then simply walked out of the house, without another word. She ran to the door and watched him leave. His hair swayed with a breeze and each step he took. She raised her hand to her lips, and with the tips of her fingers, touched them. She was shocked more hand anything about receiving a kiss. She didn't know what was going on. She plainly walked to the recliner where he had sat earlier, and collapsed. She sat in thought, gazing at nothing in particular.
As he walked away from the house, a smirk formed upon his face. His face was one of his most glorious features. A strong jaw line, big gorgeous, sapphire eyes. Ears set perfectly on the side of his head. He was gorgeous by all means. His black trench coat flowed with his movements, and his pants made no sound. His shoes made a light tapping sound on the stone path as he casual strolled away. 'He was haughty, arrogant, and ignorant' An'nu thought. 'But damn is he hot!'

Jamech returned to Egypt, to the pyramid where Anubis dwelled. He still had the smirk on his face, but realized he should get rid of it soon. Before he could do anything else, Anubis appeared in front of him. The look of anger splayed on the God's face was terrifying. He grabbed Jamech by the throat and slammed him into the wall. He slammed him so hard, bits of rock came loose and fell from and unseen source above. "What the HELL were you thinking Jamech! I saw everything! Are you trying to fuck up the balance of everything?! I might as well give the girl her memories back myself!" Anubis's anger was vivid. Silent hatred spewed from his eyes, as he watched Jamech form a big smile on his face and then laugh aloud. "Do you think I honestly care what you think? I'll do as I please, when I want." Jamech only angered Anubis more, and quite frankly, he thought it funny to mock the God. "How DARE you mock a GOD! I should have you KILLED!" Anubis tightened his grip on Jamech's throat. No longer did Jamech see this as a joke for he was loosing ability to breathe. He pawed at the jackal-headed God's hand, but he loosened his grip not. Jamech finally held his hands up in truce, as Anubis bared his teeth. He talked through them, in an attempt to control his anger. "I STRONGLY suggest you don't screw up AGAIN! Or I'll kill you both." No one except Anubis had known Jamech's two true fears. Falling in love, and death. You see vampires are not dead, and are not alive. They are undead, which is indeed a strange concept.
A faint light started to appear around a bend, and Anubis quickly dropped Jamech to the ground and walked off. More hieroglyphs became visible on the wall, and this time it depicted something. Jamech stood up to examine them, he could read them after all. "And when Ra found out Anubis had betrayed the family by creating a greater evil, he gathered a council of the gods. They together, created protectors, whom would help end the great battle, when it one day came. The one protector who would lead them all, would be Sailor...." Jamech said this aloud, but couldn't read what Sailor it was, for the henna had been smeared off. Jamech didn't know what the 'memories' of An'nu were, he only knew that they could not be returned. He sighed to himself, and walked to his chamber. Along the way he pondered different ideas that floated in his mind.
He reached his chamber soon enough, and flopped down on his bed. He couldn't imagine what it all meant, at least not now, as his mind kept going back to the death threat from Anubis. He shook his head as he snuffed the candle by his bed and rolled over, falling asleep in the matter of minutes.....
