(Yay!! Poems are back) My tears shed one by one As they grieving over you And what had been Before... My dreams breaking piece by piece Are broken by your hurtful words That keeps on echoing in my ears Again and again... My hope disappeared quickly Lost forever in a world of hurt A world of pain Forever... My love for you Was called insensible Because I was loving some who Didn't love me... My heart now lays shatter on the ground As I pick up each piece Piece by piece Throwing it all away... *DISCLAIMERS* "Wait...what are you doing?" "Chi Chi.. why are these men putting handcuffs on me??" "I told you already...WE DON'T OWN SAILOR MOON!!!!!" ::screaming and kicking:: "Run...Usa-Chan...Run!" *Chi Chi* Lol....u can tell I was hella bored *Usa ~ ::sweatdrops:: I don't know her... Silver Linning Chapter 8 By: Eternal Angel & Chi Chi Rated PG Slowly, the fallen girl fluttered her eyelids as she was greeted with two warm eyes, the exact same ones that she looked at before she fainted. The only part of his face that was visible was his eyes. The rest of his face was covered. He wore an Arabian outfit made from fine silk. "Are you okay Sailor Moon?" She couldn't help but get lost in those eyes. Those familiar eyes that she could have sworn she dreamt about. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback Princess Serenity hurried to the throne room, knowing that her mother would be so mad at her for being SOOO late to meet the royal family from earth. "Ughh!" She cried out as she struggled running with her heels. She then tripped on her dress, which dragged on the ground and prepared to fall down hard. Instead, strong arms caught her. She opened her eyes from their closed position and looked deeply into the pair of blue eyes. "Ohh kami..." She gasped out, as she knew she could get lost in those eyes forever. And she did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sailor Moon?" "Hmm? Ohh, uhh, what did you say?" She asked him. 'I wonder what his smile look likes...' "Your friends might need our help.. They are still struggling with the youmas." She snapped out of her trance and stood up, her legs shaking. She then collapsed back into his arms. 'Damn it, I must still be weak from taking the blow for Tuxedo Mask.' She thought, as the mysterious man shook his head. "No good, you can't fight. You'll only get hurt. Stay here while I help your friends." He told her, as she protested saying that she was all right and could help During this time, the generals had entered the battle and were trying to defeat the youmas. He did turn out to be what they needed to beat the youmas. His barrage of roses made the youmas falter in their steps, giving the senshi and generals time to power up their attacks. Battered and bruised at the end, the outer senshi quickly came toward Sailor Moon, helping her up from her place. "Are you all right? I was worried that the worst would happen to you. Good thing that guy with the weird outfit came around." Sailor Uranus said, as she turned towards him to ask him one simple question. "Who are you?" "I am the Moonlight Knight." He said, as he looked into Sailor Moon's eyes. "Can I talk to you alone?" She blinked back in reply and nodded. Sailor Uranus quickly objected. "Iie, no, nada. You're too weak. I don't trust him..." "Come on Uranus, I'll be fine. See you and Neptune later, and maybe you two should try talking to the other senshi." She said, as Moonlight Knight held her in his arms and jumped onto of the buildings with her in his arms. Sailor Uranus looked at the inners, then at the generals. "So, other than being here to destroy youmas, why are you guys here?" The inners glance at each other not knowing whether they should tell their mission to the other scouts. "We are here... to find the princess..." The generals gaped as their very own mission was told. Sailor Neptune then burst into a fit of laughter. "The princess? Ohh my..." "Hey! What are you guys laughing at?" Sailor Mars said offensively as she thought they were making fun of her princess. Sailor Uranus let out a smirk. "Well, the fact that we know who the princess is..." "WHAT? YOU KNOW WHO THE PRINCESS IS?!!!" Sailor Venus exclaimed. The generals' eyes widen, as they wanted to know. "Yes, but we aren't going to tell you guys." Sailor Uranus said, "We don't know if we can trust you. Or what you want with the princess." "But... you have to tell us!" Sailor Mercury exclaimed. "Sorry, but no, good luck trying to find her!" Sailor Neptune finished, as the two senshi left. "Kami!! I hate them!" Sailor Mars said, as the generals looked at each other and nodded, with that, they too were gone. "Maybe if we ask Sailor Moon..." Sailor Venus thought out loud. "Maybe..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I think it's safe to talk here," Sailor Moon said as the Moonlight Knight arrived in a deserted area of the park. She turned up to look at him, only to be mesmerized by his deep blue eyes. 'I've seen those eyes from somewhere,' she thought hard. "Oh.." Sailor Moon gasped as she noticed that she was staring and turned away blushing. Moonlight Knight grinned behind his mask as he stared down at the blonde haired beauty. 'I hope she can unlock the secrets to my past.' "Who am I?" "Who are you?" Moonlight Knight and Sailor Moon asked simultaneously. "Hehe, so I'm guessing you don't know either," Moonlight Knight said as he sat down on the bench sighing in defeat. "What do you mean who are you? Don't you know who you are? I thought you said you were the Moonlight Knight?" "I am the Moonlight Knight, but that's all I know. Do you by any chance know something called the Silver Millennium?" he asked. Sailor Moon gasped. 'Could it really be? But it's impossible...I don't remember him like this..' she trailed. "Yes, I've heard bits and pieces of it," she answered cautiously. "Why?" "Well because I was from it, but I have no recollection or memory whatsoever, and I need to know who I was back then." Moonlight Knight looked up and was surprised by what he saw. His hand shakily reached up and gently wiped away the tears that slid down her flushed cheeks. "Why are you crying?" he asked quietly. "I'm not so sure why... it's just that it's horrible, not knowing who you are...what a stupid reason to cry, huh?" He was touched, although she knew nothing about him, her concern and kindness was infinite...just like Serena's. "No, it's not stupid," he said with a hidden smile. Serena looked at him and swore she saw him smile. 'Stupid mask,' she thought. If only it weren't there, then she could tell for sure if it was him or not. "So I guess you've never heard of a Moonlight Knight back in the Silver Millennium." "No, I'm afraid not," she replied in disappointment, as she saw his face fall. Sailor Moon fought off her urges of taking this mysterious stranger and comforting him. 'That's crazy,' she thought, 'I don't even know him, he doesn't even know himself. But ohh...there's just something about the Moonlight Knight, that reminds me of him.' "Ohhh..." she gasped as a foreign yet familiar melody filled the air. Sailor Moon looked up and there in the Moonlight Knight's hand was the sacred Star Locket. ~~~ flashback "Don't leave..." Serenity begged, her eyes filled up with tears. The prince shook his head and looked away from her, and away from her tears. "Gomen princess, but I have to, I have to go and help your mother protect the moon and it's serene kingdom. I have to help protect _you_." He replied to her, as she held him tightly in her arms. "Iie... I don't want you to protect me! I just want you to be with me in my arms forever and ever. I don't want you to get hurt!" She cried, as she buried herself in his arms. "I don't know what I ever did to deserve such an angel like you Serenity..." He said huskily, as he looked at her face to face. "I love you." "I love you too..." From her pockets, she retrieved a beautiful golden locket shaped as a star. "This locket is for you. I received it as a gift when I was first born. I was told to share this locket - its song, with the one person that I love the most. That's you." He accepted the gift, and opened it up, it's enchanting melody filled the air. "As long as the memory of this song lives in our soul, our love will never die" "Then my love, I guess our love will become eternal." "Ohh Endymion..." She said, as the two shared a long sweet kiss before parting. It was their last kiss together. ~~~ "Endymion?" "Oh Kami... it really is you!" she cried as Sailor Moon launched herself into his arms. Her tears became more rapid as she cried into his shirt. The Moonlight Knight stared down in wonder as he cradled the sobbing girl. 'Somehow, this felt all too familiar to me, yet how' he thought. He had never met Sailor Moon personally until today and he had no recollection of her during the Silver Millennium, and neither had his friends. "Sailor Moon?" he asked wanting to get some answers. Sailor Moon looked up with tear-streaked eyes and flashed him a brilliant smile. "I've finally found you.." she breathed as she held onto him tight, almost afraid to let him go. "Wha.. does this mean you know me?" he asked, his hopes rising as Sailor Moon nodded. "You are Endymion, the Crown Prince of Earth," she stated with pride. The Moonlight Knight's eyes widened with disbelief, especially after hearing the last thing she said. "Come again?" he asked. "You are also my fiancé." "I'm.. your.. fiancé?" he stuttered. "Uh huh.." Sailor Moon nodded. *THUNK* *Chi Chi~ LoL...what a wuss... hehe j/p don't kill me u guys, I like him too...just thought we needed some laughter...it seemed kinda dead...gotta go cuz Usa-chan's gonna kill me for cutting on THE MOONLIGHT KNIGHT >=o)* *Usa ~ Hell yeah am I!! You can't say that about ML!! ::sniff sniff:: I'm tragically force into killing you now Chi Chi... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "MOONLIGHT KNIGHT...ARE YOU OKAY???" rang in his ear. "Huh..." he said groggily as he opened his eyes to reveal a pair of crystal blue eyes filled with tears. "Uhh...yea, I think I'll be all right." He sat up and his gaze softened as her tears spilled from her beautiful blue eyes. "Don't cry," he whispered as he gently brushed them away. "Oh Endy, I thought I'd never find you, and now that I have, you don't remember me," she sobbed. "I'm so sorry," he said as pain gripped his heart, knowing that he caused this magnificent angel grief. "But how do you know that I'm this Prince Endymion that you say I am? I thought you didn't know who I was." Serena's cries finally settled down sniffles as she began her tale. "You see, I had some ideas.. because I had some flashbacks after seeing you, but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to get my hopes up but after you mentioned the Silver Millennium, I thought about it some more, and you resemble Endymion a lot. The only thing that threw me off was this Arabian outfit. Back during the Silver Millennium, you usually wore your armored suits or a tuxedo. But when I heard that melody and I saw that locket in your hand..I knew it was you," she finished with a smile. "But.. how.. why? What's so special about this locket?" He immediately regretted saying it after seeing her pain-stricken face and the tears well up in her eyes. "It was our locket....I gave it to you the night Beryl attacked the Moon and you went to defend my kingdom. It was the last night we were together," Serena whispered as she turned away to hide the pain that had surfaced. Instead she felt her body being pulled into his arms as he crushed his lips against hers in a shattering kiss that left her breathless. Serena closed her eyes and let her be taken in by warm lips as she hungrily kissed him back. How she had missed his embraces and sweet kisses. Serena sighed with content as his lips trailed down her neck and back up in small butterfly kisses. "I love you Endymion," she breathed. "And I you Serenity," came the breathless reply. Serena gasped as realization struck her.. he remembered.. he remembered her! She looked up with surprise and love in her eyes as she did the one thing that her mind was yelling at her to do for the longest time. Take that mask of his off. She gasped in surprise as she saw who was her love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You might have the Serenity now, but soon, I will have her. She belongs to me, and she will always..." With that, the man walked deep into the shadows, a black rose stood where he once watched the two lovers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LoL...ok nuff of that. Usa-chan is BACK!! Woohoo!!
