Author's Note:
I am revising all of my stories. So this is just an updated, edited, and cleaned up version of the old story. Enjoy
Return of the Moon Princess
Chapter Six:
The scouts finished training and Rini de-transformed, she looked over and saw Cosmos sitting on a chair watching them with a smile. She ran over to her mother and Cosmos gave her a hug,
"How have you been small lady?" She whispered and Rini laughed while tears ran down her face. Cosmos wiped them off, "Come on, no crying, you did very well out there. Next time if it's ok, Mommy would like to practice with you." Rini nodded and Cosmos stood up. "You guys are great, and I'm sure that you will be even better by the time the enemy comes. Which by the way, will be in two months?" The scouts all nodded and Cosmos sighed and looked at the ground. "There is one more thing I must tell you, and I've already told it to Darien...I can't get too attached to you guys again...too comfortable around you, because when this war ends I will have to leave again, and I will probably never see you again."
Cosmos looked up and felt her heart break when she saw the look on Rini's face. The scouts nodded and looked at each other sadly. Cosmos put a hand on Rini's shoulder, "It will be ok when I leave Rini...I will be watching over you, watch as you grow into a woman and have a family of your own." Cosmos heard the sob come from her daughter and knelt down by her and gave her a hug. "Go now Small Lady and do your studies, Amy will help you." Rini nodded and walked over to Mercury who grabbed her hand and walked with her out of the room.
Cosmos stood back up and smiled sadly at the scouts, "I'm sorry that I couldn't stay afterwards, but my life is now the guardian and keeper of time and stars. I have to look over everything and be everywhere that I am really needed. If I could, I would stay with you guys forever, you were my best friends, and Darien is my soul mate, and Rini is my little girl." Cosmos' face was soaked in tears and the scouts ran over and surrounded her in hugs.
"I don't know how you do it Serena; you always hated to be alone." Venus said softly.
Cosmos nodded, "I know, but Pluto is always there with me, so it's not that bad."
"Can't you turn the job away?" Mars asked and Cosmos laughed at the very thought.
"How do you turn the job of being the guardian of time and space down Raye? Of course I couldn't...it was my destiny, and once you are picked to be something as big as that, you can't say no." Mars nodded sadly and Cosmos broke out of the circle. "I'm very happy that you guys have missed me, I've missed you to, but I have to go and sleep, I'm afraid that my de-transformation earlier has worn me out." They all nodded but Jupiter grabbed her arm before she left.
"Why did it drain you so much when you de-transformed? Why did you almost die?" she asked quietly and Cosmos smiled sadly at her,
"Because the power I hold is great, and when I de-transform it doesn't leave my body, it's too great for that of a human...Serena Tsukino would die if I let my power run threw her body long enough, because her body isn't strong enough to hold it." Jupiter nodded and Cosmos walked out of the room. She walked to the throne room and saw that Darien was still sitting there, "Is that what you do all day? Sit there?" Cosmos asked teasingly.
He looked at her, "I usually sit in here and wait for everyone to come to me, it's where I remember you the most, and so I try to bring my business here." Cosmos smiled sadly at him.
"Darien, you need to stop that. It's unhealthy, you must start going back out and socializing with your people. Show them that even with your Queen gone you are a strong King." Darien nodded but looked unsure,
"I don't think I am strong without you Serena...my heart...no...My very soul aches for you when you are not here." Cosmos was touched by it, and she felt the same way, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
"I know Darien, I feel the same way, but we have to be strong and learn to live with it. Remember you have Rini to take care of, and when she gets older you are going to have a granddaughter. You have to be strong for them." Darien nodded again and Serena walked over to him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Be strong my Prince." So whispered in his ear and walked out of the throne room and into her chambers. The chambers she had when she was Queen. She went into her own room, and let her body fall on the bed. Darien's room, the room they had shared when she lived with him was now on the other side of the castle. Her body felt the relief of having something soft underneath of it, something besides its own muscles to keep it from falling. Her eyes drooped and she knew that she was going to sleep for a while, her energy was drained and she knew that Pluto was right and she knew that if she de-transformed again, she would die.
END OF CHAPTER READ AND REVIEW
Author's Note: Hi, I updated again, lol. This story will probably end in the next 3-4 chapters, the next chapter is going to have a little bit of the present and then I am going to fast forward it to twenty years and have the enemy come. The battle and stuff will probably be 2 chapters and then one chapter to reflect over everything that happened. I hope you enjoyed this story, and I hope you will read some more of my stories, maybe you will read The Battle of the Forgotten Planet or the upcoming A New Beginning. Either one you read, you should be sure to review -p. Speaking of reviewing, PLEASE REVIEW ON THIS STORY TO. Lol... Thank you for reading. Bye.
