Hello, this is another one of my attempts at fanfiction writing for Sailor Moon. Undoubtly, Serena and Darien are my favorite characters. As you will notice, this takes place in the past, which is probably the time I like the most and there are some distinctive differences to the characters. This strictly a romance. Alot of adult situations, and graphically explicit in sexual relations. I wouldn't consider this a total sex fiction. This is a story. And I hope a good one to you. Please note, we all know who the Sailor Moon characters belong to, so please don't sue me. The purpose of this story is to entertain. Some of the characters are made up or may be borrowed. Please feel free to E-Mail Me. Well, please read on if you dare! Lady M. Harris

 

 

 

MOONLIGHT MIDNIGHT GLORY

 

Silver Millennium

 



CHAPTER 1

 

Prince Darien was bored. The informal banquet was beginning to fill with large crowds. Most of the people here, he was already familiar with, most of them being from his court, Earth. Some of the faces were unfamiliar, most of them from the moon, he had been introduced to earlier, vaguely, and informally.

The banquet was intended for his royal court, ambassadors, and delegates, to become informally acquainted with the royal court and their ambassadors, and delegates of the Moon Kingdom.

He could definitely say the banquet was a royal smash. Everyone seemed to getting along famously. Darien felt he could finally have some peace to himself, by returning to his chambers. He also remembered that Malachite, his close friend and trusted General Ambassador to the European countries, had promised to send a skillful, young maiden of the moon, to his chambers this evening for a back massage.

At the request of the Supreme Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, she had requested his parents to delegate the matters of Earth becoming familiar with the Silver Millennium to Prince Darien. Since the matters of becoming an Elite Ambassador for Earth would eventually fall into his capable hands, his parents had relented happily.

It was not but six months earlier that Earth was caught unawares of the rulings of the Silver Millennium by the Moon Kingdom. Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom had quietly placed a screen over the rest of the galaxy, centuries before, thereby allowing Earth to believe it was the only living planet in the galaxy. So powerful and wise was she, by allowing Earth to develope its technology and culture, until Earth could understand the scope of its own existence, power and its own place in the galaxy. Like a loving mother, the screen from Earth's blocked view, was slowly lifted, until one day, before the astounded scientists of Earth, the Moon Kingdom was revealed in all its regal and astonishing splendorous glory.

Even now, Prince Darien, could only shake his head thinking about the events that had all but floored the entire inhabitants of Earth of the ruling of the Moon Kingdom. It boggled his mind countless times thinking about Queen Serenity and the amount of power she held. No person should ever have that amount of power, the power to destroy an entire galaxy. And yet, she was nothingless than, a just and gentle ruler. Not to mention, very wise and old. Looking at Queen Serenity, one would have to guess her age, for she didn't look a day over thirty, even though she was well over five hundred years old.

Which brought him back to his train of thought, his back massage. He was looking quite forward to some relaxing time. Working endless hours with delegates and ambassadors from the other planets was tiring. Not to mention, the endless long evenings at dinner parties, luncheons, and meetings. The relentless pace was making him sharp and disgruntled, which was usually not his nature. He needed ease for his aching mind, and last, but not the least, his aching body.

 

 

The Supreme Princess, Princess Serenity, also known as Serena, was also present at the banquet, although, not many of the guests knew she would be in attendance. Princess Serenity was a well known and guarded princess of the Moon Kingdom. The vast surrounding planets knew how much the Queen loved and protected the only child she had. And so, unofficially, Serena was attending the banquet.

Serena had decided not to make an appearance at the banquet. She had all her reasons, usually, the crowds of swans that would attend her, which was eoungh to deter any princess. Though, the banquet was "unofficial," there was still the formal bowing and courtiers, and all the boring court rules to follow. Sometimes, Serena just wished she could just attend any occasion without being recognized. Although, it was somewhat nice, at this banquet, majority of the court of Earth didn't know who she was.

Serena was thinking at that moment, as she slipped away, quietly from her chambers, leaving her lady-in-waiting, Princess Mina of Venus, who was softly snoring on Serena's chaise, that it would be great if she could get her hands on some of that fabulous chocolate souffle cake and vanilla ice cream, that she had glimpsed of as she passed the banquet halls earlier that day. Princess Raye of Mars, another one of Serena's ladies-in-waiting had snuck in some Moon Haze into their chambers, and the young women had indulged in the forbidden drink, giggling quietly among themselves, as they talked about boys and stolen kisses in the dark.

Of course, Serena, had had a couple of stolen kisses. Although, they were quite few, considering, most of the boys, were either scared witless of her mother, of her stunning beauty, or of the awesome power she would someday yield. Serena's lovely lips curled in distaste as she remembered the last overzealous boy. The last gala she had attended, he had somehow cornered her behind a large palm plant, somehow getting past the Sailor Senshi. He then went on to whisper sweet nothings in the astonished Serena's ears, then pushed her back against the wall, planted his body in front of her, and blocked her view from the crowd. If he had been smart, and listened to Serena, when she politely began to push him away from her, he would have left the gala, unnoticed and unheard of. Instead, overwhelmed the sight of her luscious beauty and her intoxicating scent, he tried then to kiss her lips and press his body more intimately against hers. Not believing the rumors that someday, Princess Serena would be far more powerful than her own mother, and plus the fact, which hardly any of the moon inhabitants had ever witnessed the power of the Queen; for they had always been shielded by any threat to the Silver Millennium, he began to further press his attentions on a then frowning Serena.

Although, not much could cause her to anger, for she had been schooled to control her anger at the tender age of birth, because of the power she could unleash within her. Anger had to be controlled or lives could be lost thoughtlessly, but this had definitely taken the cake.

She had thought the blonde haired boy was rather cute, his name being Charoen, as she belatedly recalled, but he had really never spoken to her, didn't know who she really was, and she didn't care for the way his kiss slobbered all over her lips, much less being mauled like some harlot! Seething anger had erupted, when his hand grabbed a fistful of her breast, a blast of white energy slammed into the precious lower part of him, although in her anger, she had made sure she didn't actually kill the boy, just merely stunned him.

Many of the guests had also been stunned by the white flash of light, it was rare the moon inhabitants ever witnessed the power of the royal court. The Sailor warriors or princesses of the surrounding planets had come rushing in pursuit, their royal garb already transformed into their warrior uniform. In all the confusion, some of the guests had panicked, never having witnessed the legendary Sailor warriors in uniform, for it had been eons since they had been any type of threat to the moon kingdom.

In the mists of the uproar, Queen Serenity had teleported from an important meeting with negogations with King Damian and Queen Augusta of Earth, arranging their son, Prince Darien to meet with all the surrounding planets' delegates.

Serena had flushed with embarrassment as she noted the worry in her mother's face. Understanding came as Queen Serenity had gazed at the fallen boy, momentarily unconscious, beside her daughter's silk skirts.

Serena twinged with guilt as she remembered how her mother had gathered her up in her arms among the uproar of the crowd, the Sailor warriors having already lifted the unconscious boy, with his anxious parents in tow, were being escorted out of the gala.

Serena was perplexed as she remembered peeking up at her mother's face, her mother had almost the most suspiously amusing smile on her face, before it was masked again by a serene expression.

Needless to say, Serena did not want a repeat of that situation. Her brows gathered again in a frown, as she made her way down the dark hallways. This side of the palace was quite dark, considering it was off limits to all the guests except those of the immediate family of the royal court of Earth and the immediate family of the Moon Kingdom.

Thinking about that boy always made Serena's mouth dry. The boys always seemed to be gawking at her. Princess Lita of Jupiter would always tell her that the boys were just in awe because of her legendary beauty, and all Serena would do is stick her tongue out at her, because Lita always had boys calling at her palace, she was like a magnet, tall and lithe, with her long hair, the color of brown autumn was almost tomboyish. She got along famously with boys their age. Her and Princess Mina of Venus always bickered, because just like Serena, Princess Mina was very beautiful, and unapproachable. Whereas, Princess Lita of Jupiter and Princess Raye of Mars had no problems with talking to boys.

Serena had always been kind of jealous of Raye, because Raye with her long, blue black hair and fiery personality was just as beautiful as the rest of the princesses, but she didn't have any problems with going after the boy she liked. She always had, out of all the princesses, a boyfriend. Or a companion, if you put it that way. All the princesses were virgins, until their wedding day.

Princess Raye had remarked that where Mina was indeed very beautiful with her long golden hair that reached way below her knees, gorgeous blue eyes, a lithe figure with endless legs, Serena was everything all of the girls had remarked with longing they wished they had, and that was lusciousness. Sure, all the princesses knew Serena was smart, but she had that kind of sensuality that men dreamed about in their beds. Snickering, Lita would laugh at Serena's innocent expression. Yeah, Lita had remarked, how could such an innocent be so sexy? Whereas Serena was tall, with thick, long silvery hair, a trademark that distinguished her as a Supreme princess, since all Supreme princesses were born with silver hair; it was done up high on her head, in two rope braids or "meatballs," that reached as well, below her knees, large smokey gray eyes, and dark, long sooty lashes to frame her eyes. Her lips were rosy and very full, 'kissable' as one boy had remarked to her. But, it was her figure that Lita had said that the men dreamed of. The perfect figure eight, no small dainty breasts on Serena, nosiree, hers were upright and full, with long curvous endless legs to top off her figure. The kind of legs men dreamed about being wrapped around them, Lita had laughed. The girls had all laughed and blushed at the same time, including Lita.

Serena grinned shamelessly, as she thought of them giggling and laughing, when the subject had then turned to sex. She could remember them in her bedroom, the large balcony doors were open, the warm breeze shifting their hair, as the morning sun bounced glittering highlights off all the girls' hair, all the princesses were gathered on the balcony on huge white silk pillows, their heads together, the soft billowy silks of their white skirts spread in disarray as they giggled and whispered about the forbidden subject.

Abruptly, her thoughts vanished as Serena came to a large dark wooden double doors. This wasn't here the last time she came this way, she thought. Perhaps, she had indulged in a bit too much of Moon Haze.

Serena only hesitated for a moment, before knocking on the doors, for the guards to let her out, waiting impatiently. But what happened next, took her completely by surprise.

The door was opened quickly, firm hands grasped hers, and she was dragged unceremonious into a dark room. She was dimly aware of the door thudding shut behind her, too startled to say a thing, but to gasp in dismay, as she found herself gazing into the most startling pair of blue eyes, with the longest, darkest eyelashes that had ever graced a man. They gleamed wickedly at her, narrowing as they boldly and openly, assessed her figure.

"Well, Malachite said he'd send a moon maiden," he drawled as he studied her slowly, his eyes travelling insolently over her. "Malachite, certainly hadn't seen you, otherwise he'd kept you for himself!"

With her hands still being firmly held within his, and before she had a chance to utter a word, she found herself jerked forward and drawn into his embrace, and yet worse-his lips suddenly coming down on hers hard and possessively.

She had been kissed before, but not like this! His body pressed against hers, so she was forced to feel the entire length of his hard body. Unlike the boy at the last gala, whose movements were clumsy , this was a man, who was sure of himself , his kisses expertly executed and demanding. His mouth was hard and merciless, they seem to sear her mouth, forcing them apart to accept the onslaught of his tongue.

When she would have moved her head to escape his mouth, his hand only merely held her head in place, grasping the long silver braid of her hair within his hands, while the other hand of his held her firmly around her slim waist.

Serena was completely breathless being crushed against him. She felt her head beginning to spin, her head falling back as waves of heat enveloped her. The sound of tiny involuntary whimpers were forced from her throat as the man continued his pillage of her mouth.

When she thought she would faint, the man suddenly loosened his hold somewhat, slightly raising his head to gaze into her face, "By God, do all moon maidens look like you?" he asked harshly, studying the planes of her face and swollen lips. That hair, his desire muddled mind acknowledged sluggishly, was different. The color of brilliant white diamonds! Serena could only try to regain her breath, trying deseparetly to control her senses that seem to be running away from her.

"Sir-!" she could only gasp.

She could feel his fingers play at the silk strap that held up part of her dress, the teasing fingers rolling the strap back and forth against her heated shoulder. He laughed huskily as it slipped down and fell away, revealing the slight mound of her curved breast.

"I can buy you another dress, my moon princess, just let me taste you again." And before she could say another word, his lips claimed hers again, his arms tightening around her, drawing her even closer than she thought possible.

Oh God, oh God, she thought, did men really kiss like this? Her knees went weak, and she swayed against him, helpless over the waves of heat that washed over her. She felt half awake, aware of some strange creeping sensation - a kind of languor that seem to take control over her, a kind of acceptance that had nothing to do with her mind or her body.

With the pressure of his body, the animal heat and demanding kisses were beginning to be too much for her inexperience. When his fingers found the rapidly hardening point of her nipple through her silk dress, she struggled back to reality.

Realizing for the first time since her encounter with the stranger, that she had not engaged in her powers to deter him as she did the boy at gala, totally confused her momentarily. The man mistook her sudden cease of movement as surrender, and he began to plunder the hollow of her exposed throat.

With a half cry of dismay and something else she didn't want to accept deep within her, she gathered her powers together as haphazardly as she could, and a silvery glow began to emit from her, engulfing the couple in its dazzling light.

Prince Darien lifted his head from the moon maiden's smooth throat, dimly aware of the intoxicating power surrounding them. The fog in his brain was instantly gone, the second his body embraced her powers like a blanket.

Instead of the stunning him, as she had the boy, Charoen, at the gala, this man fully took all she had to give him, the blaze of light and power, only being absorbed by him like a cushion. It enveloped him and then her again, momentarily stunning her, as his emotions and an immense power, as strong as hers, flowed freely back to her.

For a brief moment, she had witnessed his emotions, felt his strong desire for her, through him. And he had through her, felt her helpless surrender to desire, that she did not understand for him. For a brief moment, they had shared minds and souls, and had become one.

It was not possible to do this. It was only written in the Legends, of becoming one with another as they did. They called this the binding of minds and soul, Soul Mates. This could not be, her mind cried, she was one of the most powerful women in the galaxy, second to her mother, and yet this stranger, this man, had enveloped her powers as if he had cradled a babe in his arms.

"Who are you?" Darien demanded, his eyes narrowing as he shoved her away from him.

Serena could only blink, still gasping for her breath, her knees were still weak from the drain of all the energy. She would have collapsed, but the man caught her. An angry blush began to stain her cheeks, when she saw the dangerous and cold fury in his eyes were directed at her.

"Who am I?" she spluttered, anger shaking her voice, "You-you! How dare you drag me into this room, and-and attack me like some loose thing!" She was so mad at this point, she stood there panting for breath, trying to gather her strength.

The anger in Darien seem to dissipate in him as held her at arms length from him. Studying the girl, the frown on his forehead seem to deepen. This girl didn't look like a common servant, from the look and quality of her dress. Some highborn moon lady, probably. Stunningly beautiful, her lips full and swollen from his kisses. Darien had to drag his eyes from her lips to concentrate on what she was saying.

Serena became flustered and angry all over again, as she noticed where the man's attention. "And, what do you mean, who am I?" her eyes narrowed. "I should be demanding that of you!" she spat.

"If your not the girl Malachite sent, then-who are-"

"Would you let go of me!" she spat again, then without warning he did.

"Ohh!" she spluttered again as she landed on her rump, with a flurry of white silk skirts bellowing around her. "I don't know who this Malachite is, but if you hadn't attacked me like- like some monster, perhaps I'd had the chance to explain that I had somehow got lost in those godforsaken dark hallways!" she retorted.

"Oh, shit! That's just great! And just where the hell you were you heading to?" Despite the so called reasonable sound of his voice, there was a steely quality underlying his words, that made her answer him sullenly.

"I was going to the banquet. I thought I had came to right doors, the guards had said that I only had to knock on the doors and they would have let me out, but when I knocked on them, I was dragged into this room by you - and you -"

"Attacked you?" he actually had the nerve to grin wickedly at her.

Anger surged through her again, bringing her to her feet.

"This is not funny, you're-"

"Yes, I know, a monster" he interrupted her, "And it isn't funny, because not everyday does one run across a moon maiden who displays that amount of power?" He quirked a dark eyebrow at her flushed face. "Perhaps we should introduce ourselves, I'm Prince Darien of the Earth Kingdom, the Elite Ambassador for Earth and son to King Damian and Queen Augusta, rulers of planet Earth, at your service, madam." Prince Darien bowed slightly, mocking her with the pun of the half bow.

Anger washed over her again, for she knew that he had slightly insulted her. Not one to be outdone by insults, she quickly and very gracefully, which she missed Darien's brows raising, when she curtsied deeply, her silk white skirts flared elegantly around her, and her silver head bowed very low to him. "And I am the Supreme Princess to all of the surrounding planets, Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, daughter to the Supreme Queen, Queen Serenity, ruler of the Silver Millennium, at your service, your highness!" she added the last word sardonically, indicating she knew her station was well above his.

The cad only had the gall to laugh at her taunting! "Well, perhaps that explains the power backing you," he said, sobering as he reached and clasped her arm, hauling her up and against him.

"Yes, but it doesn't explain how an Earthling such as yourself, should have the same amount of powers such as myself, it's not possible, at least not here!" struggling, she was getting breathless again, the feel of his hard length did something strange to her. Remembering, his emotions for her when they had shared minds, she began to struggle more fiercely, fear of the unknown and of her uncertain emotions pushing her.

"Would you cease your struggling!" he bit out, his eyes narrowing again. "I'm not going to hurt you!" How could he? He wasn't even sure what he was doing, and he was already regretting his actions. Soul Mates! Jesus, he had some thinking to do, if the Legends were right. He had no time for young virgins! Much less one that was destined for him. Damn!

"Before you go back to the banquet, you better think hard about what just happened between us. You've heard the Legends, and I have the feeling you don't take your duties lightly." His grip on her arms were beginning to hurt.

"I don't care about the Legends, and ohh!" she shook her head, still struggling. "This can't be true, you! I won't be coupled with you!"

"My thoughts exactly! But, before you go on barking at nothing, I suggest you go on back to your room, and get a hold your mother, for I'm sure she's already felt the surge of energy you so kindly displayed for my benefit." he retorted as he pushed her towards the door.

"I don't bark!" she huffed angrily, still trying to release her arm from his tight grip as he opened his door. Before she even had a chance to say anything more, his lips came down on hers hard, briefly, and then she was being deposited outside his door, dazed.

"Now, run along, like the good little girl you are," he said, grinning wickedly, swapping her hard on her rear, and evoking a furious gasp from the Serena. She left him looking over her shoulder and glaring at him at the same time, all the while mumbling incoherent expletives.
