02/22/00 A voice - soft, calm, beautiful... "Forget, forget, forget," it says, as it fades away into nothingness. A figure in white. Silk, pearls, the scent of roses, soft creamy skin... the light she radiates... the warmth... the sorrow -- faceless she remains. The tears - endless and think, shows so much sorrow. "Forget, forget..." Long golden trestles of hair - silk, soft, beautiful, odangos... "No one cares..." she seemed to say as her long hair flapped in the wind. He desperately wanted to tell her that he cared. She turns, facing him, as he could *almost* make out her face, but all he could really see is her eyes. So much pain in her eyes... "Forget me..." "IIE!!" The prince of Earth bolted upward from his sleeping state. "What...?" He said softly, as he escaped his bed to walk onto his balcony. He looked up at the glowing moon. He was going to the moon tomorrow, to talk about the alliance and to be a show for the queen's ball that is held for her birthday. He really detest the fact that he might be force into marrying one of the senshis, wondering why there wasn't a Moon Princess... ~~~ "Love brings a lonely lonely heart." Forgive Me and Forget Me By: Eternal Angel E-mail me: usako9@hotmail.com Chapter 7 tears fall one by one a heartbreak an empty soul i'm broken i'm broken the darkness it's so bright shuddering i wonder why why you out of all people treat me this way i don't know what to do it hurts it hurts my heart is broken make it stop make it stop i cut myself picking up the pieces so much pain so my emptiness engraved into my soul Iris - Ami Rhea - Rei Minerva - Makoto Mynalle - Minako Cere - Haruka Amphrite - Michiru Persephone - Hotaru ~~~ Usagi stood by the princess of mercury, who looked at her from the corner of her eye. Iris felt this strong bond with this servant girl. Her wisdom about things that only the close royalty knew amazed her, although she would go on about things that even she didn't know what it was about, though she knew with no doubt about it that this girl was not working with the evil. She only wished she knew... "How old will the queen be turning?" The blond questioned, as Iris looked at her with a smile. They had just been discussing the queen's birthday, which was on the same day as hers. Iris smiled at her, her eyes filled with kindness. "It's quite uncertain since of the gravitational pull the crystal adds. Time slows down, I suppose that she should be more than around an odd thousand years old if the pull was taken away. This pull effects all the planets in the alliance and also the earth, being so close to the moon that is." She stared at her in surprise. For some time, she thought she had traveled to the past - but it seemed as if she had not traveled at all. The crystal had made time slow down more than usual causing it to be the same time period that she was in, but a era. "The crystal? Are you talking about the Ginzuishou?" Usagi asked, as Iris looked at her quite strangely. "Ginzuishou? What an odd name I might say. But I was talking about the Imperial Silver Crystal, it is a heirloom that is passed down through generations." Iris told her, as Usagi nodded, knowing that. "It was called the Illusion crystal before the queen had received it right? And before that it was called the Silver Crystal." "That's right Usagi, how come you know so much about this?" Usagi just struggled, her eyes far off. "Is it possible for a princess to use the crystal?" "A Princess? I have no idea. There has never been any thing like that before. There is only one crystal and it is passed down each generation after the death of the queen - that's when the princess becomes the queen. Only as the queen can you use the power of the crystal." 'If only you knew,' Usagi said silently, as she continued to talk to Iris about the ball. "The prince of terra would also be coming to this ball. It would then be decided upon whom shall he marry to bind the Moon Kingdom and Terra together." "Marry...?" She repeated, dazed and unresponsive. Her heart turned. She had let him go only to have him bind with another, possibly one of her best friends. Bitter, bitter, she was, softly crying inside. She could not show any true feelings, in fear that she might never be able to stop the river of tears that threatened to fall. "Hai, he is to marry. Rhea and Mynalle are very against it, saying that they want to fall in love. They are very emotional people. If the marriage falls into my hand, I guess I would have to accept it. If it is for the better of our kingdoms..." "Duty before self." Usagi said, wondering if that was what she did when she activated the crystal to write her out of the lives of all of her friends, only to end up in their lives once again... "You are very respectable. I heard he was very handsome... if only I was a princess ne?" She said jokingly. Mercury smiled, "Although you aren't, you seem like one..." Usagi reeled back at the comment. ~~~ She stood against the wall, watching the people dance with another. It was her birthday today, and she without anyone to celebrate it with. The ballroom was decorated magnificently, beautiful flowers were in vases around the room (though there were no roses). Candles stood high on the mantle that was mantled against the wall, as beautiful gold ribbon was laced around it, as some greenery surrounded it, bringing out more colors. "Introducing the princess of the court." A loud voice announced, as the soft music had lowered down a lot. The door opened, revealing the seven princess. All but Princess of Uranus wore a beautiful silk gown in their planet's color. Cere wore a black tuxedo, as her slash and tie was the color of her planet. "Introducing the King and Queen of the Moon," the announcer had said, as from the door appeared two other figures of royalty. They were arm and arm, smiling, as Usagi couldn't help but envy her parents. "And, introducing the Prince of Earth, Endymion." The door opened once again, revealing the handsome prince of earth. The ladies in the room swoon as he looked up and straight her way. Their eyes met, as his breathing stopped. It was her. ~~~ A cherry tree... A smile on the lips. "Ohh Mamo-chan, you over done yourself." A silvery laughter. Joyfulness... "I only aim to please." A soft touch. Blue... "And what shall I do to repay you?" Rosy lips. Tenderness.... "Well my princess, a kiss would do." Softness... Losing it.... "Only -a- kiss?" Ecstasy. Intoxication. "It depends, how about a kiss now, and if it isn't enough, a kiss later?" Deepness, longing... Giggles. "Sure thing Mamo-chan..." Pureness, heaven. Together.... "Ai shiteru...." Warmth. Completion. "Forever..." High hopes. Dreams. "And ever..." Strength. "Until the gods..." Brightness. Colors. "Become jealous..." Happiness. Infinity. "And decided..." Passion. Bliss... "To tear us apart..." Fading... Disappearing... Nothingness.... ~~~ In a studious pace, he came up to her, as her heart reached out for his. A second sense took over her, saying softly, "Mamo-chan." Her arms then clamped against her mouth, sensing what she had just did. He came close to her, his eyes seemed to flicker brightly from the word she had spoken out of her mouth. "May I ask who you are?" She blanched back, as her body became numb in his gaze. "I-- an just a servant your highness..." She said, as he shook his head. "Iie, you cannot be but a servant. There is something about you that makes everything about you seem so... right." "Your highness, mustn't you go back to the ball? The queen is about to announce your engagement soon...." She said, backing away from him, he held onto her wrist, his eyes blazing with colors. "My dear, you have been in my mind since the day I saw you at earth. The aura around you is not one of a normal person, let alone a servant." "I am a born Lunarian... why would I be down at earth." "Then why do you have Terrain blood also? I am the prince of earth, I can sense this, although I can feel the Lunarian blood in you also." She hesitatedly answered him, "I don't know what you mean." "Then why are you denying something you understand?" Her eyes bore against his, as the queen's voice filled the room, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday revenue, but I would like to announce a joyful event that is to happen in my kingdom. The engagement of Prince Endymion of Earth and the engagement of Princess --" The main doors opened as a soldier fell in dead, a loud laughter filled the air. "My my Serenity, so festive today. And you didn't invite me? Shame on you, although I do find if more festive to crash the party." The figured entered in as the cold wind swept into the room, blowing out the candles that once filled the room with a sense of beauty and completion. The figure had long wavy red hair and dark eyes filled with so much evil. Usagi stared at the figure with hatred, squeezing her way through the crowd. She stood adjacent from the figure with hatred. It was her that made her lose her love so long ago, in this very kingdom. It was her that made her lose all her innocents to destroy evil. Not one day had she not felt dirty, after killing so many... Although they were evil, to her mind they were just misled. A game of survival that she did not want to be in. And the witch before also killed her friends and her love once more, and almost caused her to lose her life. And then the whole Ann and Ail incident was because of Beryl also. She had poisoned their minds with her teaching of hatred and injustice. She could have lived happily, whether it was on the moon, or on earth. She could have never met her true friends and be force to hurt like she is hurting now!! "Bitch." ~~~ Ahem, ohh, excuse my French? Anyhow, so, the suspense starts. Can you feel the hate?? Hehehe... anyhow, I say, read Jupiter the Lovely's "Exhausted Souls". I must say, it has so much emotions and intensity. Its like, wow. Yepyep!!
