I do own the rest of them. There now.
Prologue:
How long has it been? She wonders looking over the city below, Since the freeze?
She turns from the city below and looks at her room. It had been nearly three to five years since the Earth had been unfroze by the power of the Silver Crystal and since that time they had been establishing themselves in the world, doing peace treaties, talking to other governments to calm down their fears. It had really been busy afterwards.
She shrugged and shook her head; she was now twenty-two, almost twenty- three, years old and was handling a lot of things.
She sat down, I hope Mamo-chan is ok. She smiled at the thought of the raven-haired man, her husband, with those stormy blue eyes of his and his trademark smirk. She placed her hand on her stomach, smiling softly, I can't wait to tell him! With a sigh she flips on the t.v. seeing what's on. She decided to watch the news, for lack of better things to watch.
"' Today in the news,'" the reporter says, "' A savage storm is raging in the east. Forecasters say that it'll likely be a hurricane off the coast of California, three hundred miles from the shore.'" The reporter looks up into the camera, "' Any airplanes going that way should reschedule their flights, because this is one dozy of a storm!'"
Usagi stares at the tv almost frozen. Her mind drifted back to earlier that day, at the airport.
Flashback
"You be careful there, Mamo-chan!" a short blonde says, "It's bad enough that it's going to rain!"
The tall raven haired man chuckles and bent low to kiss his wife's lips. "Don't worry about me, Usako." He stood straight, "I'll be back tomorrow. I just have a short business meeting then I'll be on the first plane home."
Usagi folds her arms, "You better!"
He laughs as his plane was being called, "I'll see you later, love."
"Bye! And Take care!" She calls to him, "I'll be waiting for you."
End of Flashback
Usagi was pale now; her mouth was dry and her hands shook at the thought of her Mamo-chan being out there. What if... She closed her eyes trying to sense his presence. Her eyes snapped open. "Mamo-chan!" She got up and ran straight to Ami's part of the castle.
"Ami! Ami-chan!" She shouts banging on the door, "Please, I have to talk to you!" The door opens and a short blue haired woman appears in the doorway. "What is it Usa-chan?" The mercurian woman asked removing her glasses from her face "Is something wrong?"
Usagi was on the verge of tears, "Ami!" She says, "It's Mamo-chan! I-I- can barely feel him!" She cries.
"What?" Ami dark blue eyes widen in surprise. "Are you sure Usagi?" She asked escorting the Lunarian in her room, "Are you sure it's not just the distance? I mean, we are a long way from America and it could be..."
"It's not!"
"Sit down and I'll see what I can do." Said the senshi of ice as she took out her mini computer. Her brows furrowed in concentration.
"Well?" Usagi asked feeling Mamoru's aura growing fainter.
Ami looks up with sad blue eyes, "I can't find his power signature." She closed it, "It's like he disappeared off the map"
"Please fasten your seatbelts, Ladies and Gentleman," the stewardess says, "We have just entered a storm and are about to turn around."
Great. Mamoru groans mentally, Just what I need, a freaking' storm when I'm going home. He sighs a little at the thought of his wife, Usagi, and buckled up. Just then the airplane started to rumble and shake really hard, "Air turbulence." He mutters.
Oh, if he only knew how wrong he was!
"Ladies and Gentleman, "It was the stewardess again, "would you please not panic and put your oxygen mask on, which is located right above you and-Ah!"
The plane suddenly shifted and went into a nosedive.
All around him were screams and shout of the people, who were either praying or crying. We're going to die. He thought with much sadness in his heart as his life flashed before his eyes. Usagi... she was the one thing he could only think about. How would she handle this?
Would she cry...for him?
"Usako..." Was the last word he said before the plane crashed into the sea.
It snapped, or more appropriately, faded until it was almost gone. Their connection to each other, their line...it was almost, if not, gone.
Usagi's eyes snapped open as she stares endlessly at the wall in the meeting. Jupiter and Pluto, who were her bodyguards at this meeting, noticed her inattention.
"Excuse me, ladies, and gentlemen, if we could have a word with our queen? "Pluto told them as they escorted the young queen out.
"What's wrong, Usagi?" Jupiter asked, "Why are you not paying attention?"
Usagi said nothing, only kept her head down.
"My Queen, "Pluto began, "What is the matter? You need to pay attention here."
"I-I-can't feel him." She whispered, "Mamo-chan...I can't feel him guys!"
Jupiter gasped, "What?! But-"
Serenity began to cry, "I can't feel him! It's like...he faded or something, but" She looks up at them, "I can't tell if he's alive or dead."
"Oh, Usa-chan.."
A young woman, about twenty-four years old, walks across the beach, alone. It was about sunset, and she was heading home, to her little house on the cliff. She was content with her life; her chocolate eyes scanned the shore for shells for her shell collection. She pushes a black strand of braided hair behind her ear. She looked very dark in the twilight with her smooth brown skin, if it were not for her white sweater and blue jeans.
"What's that?" She wonders out loud, jogging over to the foreign object. "A...man?" She bends down and turns him over, "A very cute one too." She frowns as she checked his vital signs, "Good, he's still alive." She looks up and down the beach and sighs, "Ok, pal, looks like I'm going to have to get my truck and come back. Hope you can stay here." She mutters to him and covers him up with her sweater then takes off to get her truck.
Where am I? He fought through the haze of sleep in his mind.
"Hmm, it seems you'll be ok." He heard a female say. "That's good."
A few things were moved around, the sound of water was heard and he felt the coolness of a cloth.
"Who...who are you?" he asked, his throat was soar and dry. He opens his eyes a little. At first it was a blur then he blinked a few times until it came into focus.
The face that hovered above his was an unfamiliar one. A smooth brown face with chocolate colored eyes with arched eyebrows above them and the whole face was framed by black braids with white shells at the end.
"My name is Kritra Montgomery." She told him and replaced the clothe in the bowl and wringed it out before wiping his brow, "And you are on my island that my family owns."
He looks at her and blinks, "But do you know who I am?"
Kritra frowns, "What do you remember?" She asked.
He touched the side of his head, "Mamoru."
She raised and arched brow, "Protector?" She takes the cloth and wipes his brow, almost thoughtfully, "Well, that shall be your name. Mamoru"
Over the next couple of days, Mamoru was getting stronger and better. He was now, well enough to help around her cottage.
"Kritra?" He calls and looks around the room. It was early in the morning and he had just woken up. Normally, Kritra would always been up before him and in the living room.
He had learned that she had found him on the beach and that the island was several hundred miles from the mainland, which happened to be Hawaii.
The door opens and shuts as Kritra walks in with an armload of food. "Oh, Mamoru, you're up"
He nods and yawns, "Yeah, so, need any help?"
She nods and soon the kitchen was filled with brown and plastic bags. They began putting them away in their rightful place.
"Mamoru," Kritra opens the fridge and puts the milk and eggs and other stuff in there, "I've noticed that you have magical powers and potential."
He paused, "Yeah," He puts the cereal up, "It's called psychometry." He looks at her and shrugs, "See, I know all the normal stuff, but I can't seem to remember if I'm married or not, or when my birthday is...that type of thing." Then he did a double take, "How did you know I have powers?"
She smiles, "I'm a witch, silly." She turns, "And I think I've found a way to get you're memory back." She turns back towards him, "But you will forget two days of your stay here."
"How long will it take?"
"Two...maybe three months because of the toxins in the plants I'll use."
"Ok."
She smiles and nods, "Good, now I'm going to change and you're gonna take a bath, dress and meet me on the beach."
"Why?"
"Because we're going to start your training, silly." She went into her room and he went to the bathroom, pondering on what this weird witch is going to do to him.
A few minutes later found them on the beach facing each other, "Ok" Kritra got into a fighting stance, "Show me what you know so far, and use your powers!"
"Alright!" And he came at her.
Serenity's head snaps up as she felt something deep within her. Her blue eyes widen in surprise as she stood staring out her window.
"Usa-chan?" Minako looks up at her friend, "Are you ok?"
Not getting a response from the young woman, Haruka touches her shoulder, "Koneko-chan, what's wrong?"
"It's him." Was the reply as she closed her eyes, trying to pinpoint the exact location of the power.
Michiru smiled sadly at her Queen, "We know you miss him, Serenity." She stood and walked until she stopped beside her, looking out the window, "You'll have to go on."
Serenity turns towards Michiru, almost angrily. "I can feel him!" She told the aqua haired woman, "He's not dead! Mamo-chan's alive!" She turns to the window, "He's out there, somewhere and I will wait for him, even if it kills me." She vows.
"But, Usagi..." Rei began, "How do you know it's him?"
Serenity just shook her head, as if banishing all her doubts, "It's him, I know it, Rei. It's like," She press her forehead against the cool glass and classed her eyes again. "he fades in and out. Sometimes I can feel him and sometimes I can't. It's like when he didn't remember us back when the Doom Tree was around."
"We'll find him, Usagi." Hotaru, the youngest in the group, says, "Then everything will be ok again, right?"
"Yeah." Kritra wipes the sweat from her forehead then drinks her Gatorade after tossing one to Mamoru, who was currently leaning against the island (A small table) in the middle of the kitchen.
"You know a lot, Mamoru." She told him leaning against a counter next to the fridge. "But you need to learn how to control your powers more. Whether you know it or not, man, you've got enough power to rival the Queen."
He blinks, "What's the Queen's name?"
She smiles at him, "Why, Neo-Queen Serenity, she and her husband rules half of the planet." She goes and throws her bottle away, "His name is Endymion, but that's all I know." She turns towards him, "Though, I've never seen him before, they say he's very handsome." She stares at him for a minute or two before shouting, "Dibs on the shower!"
It took him a second before he was after her, "Hey, no fair!" He banged on the door, "You had a head start."
"Ya snooze, ya lose, pal." Came the cheerful reply.
A few minutes later the water turned off and Kritra stuck her head out the door, careful not to show anything, "Uh...Mamoru?"
"Yeah?" He growls, "What is it?"
"Um...could you get me a towel...pleeeeaaaaassssseeee?"
He smirks at her with this evil glint in his eyes as he settles back and watches her, "Get it yourself."
"Mammoooorrrrruuu!" She whines. "Come on, pleeeaaaasssseeee?"
"Nope."
She sighs, "You better not be looking, Mamoru! Or I'll kick your ass!"
"Suuurrrrre." He says sarcastically, "I'm not going to peek at a naked black woman."
"Ok," She took a deep breath and flung open the door, running full out.
Mamoru nearly had a nosebleed as she streaked by. After a few minutes of standing there, he shook his head, "That was soooo worth it." Then carries a towel in with him to the bathroom.
Dream
The fog was so thick; he couldn't see anything except the bleak gray of the fog. He tried many times to find his way back to the cottage. Faintly he hears a voice whispering in the wind.
He couldn't make out the words it was saying; only that it wanted him.
'Who's there?!' He yells into the mists, 'Who are you?'
'End of Dream
He awoke in a cold sweat, panting hard as he waited for his heart to slow down and stop pounding so loudly in his ears.
"Mamoru?" Kritra's sleepy face turns on the lamp next to the bed, "What's wrong?" She and Mamoru had been sharing a bed, nothing sexual or anything, just like sleeping with an older sibling when you were afraid to be alone.
He shook his head and sighed, flopping back down on the bed, "It's nothing..." He told her, "just a weird dream, that's all."
She leans over and looks at him, "Tell me what is was about." She rested her head on her arms, "I might be able to help you."
He sighs again then looks at her then at the ceiling." I was in this fog and I couldn't see anything. I looked around for something, anything to direct me to someplace, when I hear it." He paused, "It wasn't exactly a voice, some much like the wind, but it was saying something and I couldn't understand what it was saying. All I knew was..." He turns to his side and looks at her, "that it wanted me. It was looking for me but it couldn't find me."
Kritra stares at him for a while before lying back down, "Maybe...someone is looking for you." She says quietly, "but they can't find you, both physically and metaphysically, nor can you find them." She closes her eyes, "the fog represents both your confusion and your memory loss. Without your memories, Mamoru, you'll never find out who's looking for you without becoming more powerful or the person using more powers to find you."
"The...potion?" He asked curiously. "You're making it right?"
She nods, not looking at him, "Yeah, it's cooking for the next few months and in that time period we'll work on your powers, ok?"
He sighs again and turns on his side, "Ok, G'night Krit."
"Night, Ru." With a soft click from the lamp, she snuggles deep in her covers and bed falling fast asleep.
Serenity tosses and turns, her dreams were plagued by a very dense fog. She wanders around it calling out her love's name, hoping that he would her it.
But what she got was "'Who are you?!' "
She awake shaking and crying, at the moment she was now two months pregnant with his child and counting. She had been trying to find a way to tell him for a little over a month. Now, She thought crying into her pillow, He won't know because he's not here.
"Mamo-chan..."
"You up, Ru?" Kritra stood over the sleeping man, looking down at him curiously. All she got was a grunt and the man rolled over.
"I guess not." A wicked smile and an evil glint made its way to her face as she pulled out her water gun and...
"AAHHHHHH!!!"
She laughed so hard that her eyes started to tear up, "glad to see you awake." She says.
He stares incredulously at her, "You are sooo dead." With that began the chase.
They ran around the entire cottage before he cornered her in the bedroom, where it all began.
"You think that was funny?" He snarls as he held her down onto the bed.
"Well, aren't you little Mr. Sunshine today?" She laughed a little, "I had to get you back for that little thing you did yesterday."
"Why you!" He began to tickle her until she begged for mercy.
"Ok, Ok, I give! I give up!" She says between giggles, "You win!"
"That's more like it." Mamoru smirks.
It was quiet for a few minutes, and in those few minutes the two stared at each other. It was the first time that they actually noticed how the other looked. They also realized that the distance between their faces was closing and rapidly.
"Uh..." Kritra was the first to break the silence. "I need to start breakfast, go take a bath." And with that said and done, she slips quickly into the kitchen.
Oh man. She thought pulling out the eggs, This is going to be harder than I thought.
"Ok, now just relax, Usagi, and watch the monitor." Ami instructed the young Queen.
Serenity did so, staring at the black and white monitor as the scanner rolls on her stomach.
"There it is." Ami stops and points to something moving, "That's the baby's heart." She looks at her friend, "Want to hear it?"
Serenity nods and soon the room was filled with the sound of the baby's heartbeat. It made Serenity cry a little, listening to it. He should be here. She thought sadly, He should hear our child's heart beating too.
"Concentrate! Think about it in your mind and bring it out, Mamoru!" Kritra yells at him.
Sweat had gathered and poured from his brows as he concentrates on the rose in his hand. They had discovered, awhile back, that he could make a rose materialize in his hand. Right now, they were trying to make it into something more.
Suddenly there was a flash of light and the rose that was once held in his hand, turned into a long thorny whip.
"You did it!" She claps her hands, "That was great Ru!" She walks over to him as the thorn whip transforms back into a rose. "Now all you have to do is work on having it appear faster and not being too drain from transforming it."
"Now what?" He asked her.
"Now, we'll work on your power blasts." She left him and set up some targets, "I want you to hit these stones with only your energy, Ok?"
He nods and begins concentrating on the ball of power in his mind then holds his hand out, "Volcanic Blast!" He shouts and fire sprouted out from his hands and blasted the rock to kingdom come.
"Good." She puts another one there, "Now try another one."
"Celestial Bomb!"
A flash of golden light totally destroyed the rock, not even leaving dust.
"Good, now lets take a break."
Three months later...
Mamoru stared at Kritra's sleeping form and knew that he felt something for her, not just in a big brother way, but it was more like a lover type. Or maybe I'm just horny. He mused, watching her sleep. He swallows a little as his gaze traveled down her form. Gods, she's hot. He thought feeling himself tightening even more and it didn't help that he'd seen her naked once. He leans over her and kissed her lightly, before pressing harder. "Ma-moru?" She blinks her eyes, trying to rid herself of the sleep, "What- "
He kissed her again, "Kritra..." He growls half-laying on her, "I need you." He kissed her again, then trailed the kisses along her jaw line, nibbling as he went. His hands moved stealthily towards the buttons of the shirt she wore to bed, undoing them.
"But-" He cut her off, kissing her passionately, exploring her sweet mouth. Kritra, for her part, was already aroused and was swept away in the need and lust that had begun. She pulls him closer, their tongues warring with each other to see who was dominant.
He pulls back and looks at her; "Kritra..." then leans back down, kissing her neck as his hands did away with her shirt until her torso was expose to him. "Beautiful." He mutters looking at the dark skin underneath him in the moonlit room. "Very lovely"
"Mamoru..."
After what had seemed like an eternity, suspended in time, they laid there, holding each other lax from the passion they had just shared.
"Ru?" Kritra mutters, "Did you really have to pound into me like that?"
Mamoru didn't even shrug, "Don't know." He looks her in the eyes, "You're not mad are you?"
She shook her head and smiles a little, "It was bound to happen, Ru. Sooner or later, you would've done this."
He held her close, "Let's get some sleep, ok?"
She nods." Sure"
"I felt it move!" Serenity smiles, her hand sprayed out on her stomach feeling the child kick.
Hotaru grins, "I can't wait!" She too was feeling the Queen's belly. "She moves so much!"
"It won't be long now, Koneko." Haruka says, "Just a few more months."
She sighs, "I can still feel him, but he seems so far away."
"He'll be here for the baby's birth, Usa-chan." Makoto told her smiling warmly, "I know he will."
"I hope you're right, Mako-chan." She shook her head, "I really hope you are."
"Maybe he lost his memories, again." Minako said looking up, "He'll show up looking for us."
"Ok, again!" Kritra yells holding the punching bag.
"Hya!" He kicks it with his foot than punches it twice then did a round house before stopping.
"Good, now try it again!"
"Hya!" Another combination of attacks before he stopped.
"Alright, Ru!" Kritra kisses him, "Great work!" She looks at him, "Now, if you're ready, Ru" She turns and walks into the house and he follows. She places a cup on the table before pouring some green, slightly glowing, liquid in it and held it out to him, "Drink this."
He looks at it. "What is it?"
She sighs, "It's the memory potion. It's finished now. All you have to do is drink it and you'll remember. But forget two days of your stay here."
He looks at her than at the cup, "Ok." And downs the whole thing and puts it back on the table.
When he did, however, he grabbed his head and started screaming as the potion took over.
Once again, Serenity felt something. It was her bond to Mamoru, it was connecting again, but something was different about it. It was stronger, more powerful than it had been before.
She smiled and looks at her friends joyously, "I can feel him again." She told them excitedly, "And he's not fading out! He's stronger now! Oh my..." and faints.
Makoto caught her and picks her up, looking at her friends, "Well, now what?"
Ami opens her compact computer, "If what she says is true, than I can be able to lock on to his power signature." A few more strokes on the keypad and Ami looks up at them smiling, "I've found him!"
"Thank Kami-sama," Minako looks at her friends smiling slightly, "It's over."
"Where is he, Ami?" Luna, Serenity's advisor cat, asked the senshi of ice.
"On a privately owned island a few hundred miles from Hawaii." She answers.
"Come on." Haruka says to Michiru and Setsuna, "Let's go pick up cape boy before sleeping beauty wakes up."
Kritra looks over at Mamoru worriedly, "Ru? Ru, are you ok?" She asked kneeling beside him.
He was panting really hard and was sweating and there was a slight tremble running throughout his body.
Finally he looks up at her, "It worked, Kritra." He smiled a little, "I know who I am."
"Who?" she asked him.
"I'm Endymion," He says, "King of Earth."
"Oh, my god." Was the only response from her.
That's when they heard the helicopters outside. "There it is," Haruka said into her mike, "I'm going to land."
"Roger that." Came Artemis's voice in the earmuffs, "Bring him home girls."
"Sure." She says as she lands the helicopter onto the sand as two figures came towards them
She shut off the engine so they would be able to see and talk to them clearly.
Michiru, Setsuna and Rei, who tagged along, had already jumped out of the helicopter and were walking towards them.
They stopped a few feet from them and waited for Haruka to join them.
They were quiet for a moment till Rei broke the silence.
"Who owns this island?" She asked with authority.
"I do." Kritra answers them, "I'm Kritra Montgomery, and this is Aurora Island." She glares at them, "who are you?"
Mamoru/Endymion smiles at them then looks at Kritra, "It's ok, they're just friends." He looks at them, "I'll explain everything when we get back."
"You better." Haruka growls.
"Oh, Krit," He says, "This is Kaioh Michiru, Tenoh Haruka, Hino Rei, and Meioh Setsuna."
He turns towards her, "They are part of the Solar Senshi for this system."
She nods, "This way, ladies." She walks ahead, "I don't get many visitors on the island."
Endymion snorted, "That's because you cast a spell on it."
She shot him a glare, "Didn't work too well, did it? Found you here, didn't I?"
"To which I am forever grateful for, of course."
"Suck up." She mutters.
Few minutes later, they stood on the sandy beach, the sun was setting, ironically the same spot where she had found him. She looks on as he gets into the helicopter, wanting to tell him and knew that he'd forget those two days.
She'd never said which days he'd forget, now did she? And this is where the real story begins.
