"The Little Prince" Part One
Lady Rinehart

This has flashes throughout the Sailor Moon history. In the flashes dealing with the Black Moon, Darien and Serena are not back together. He has pushed her so far away, she almost hates him.

Disclaimer: Sailor Moon's not mine. But the story is. If anyone wants to use it on their site, feel free to do so, but please inform me first. Thanks.

************************************************

The small child walked slowly down the dark corridor. Where was father? His deep blue eyes searched for the man he knew as his only parent. He reached up, grasping a small switch, and pulling it, to have the hall bathed in light.
The corridor was long and it seemed as if it never ended. It had large torches, from which the light was illuminating, perched every five feet. It also had large oak doors leading to unknown rooms. A gust of wind swept by, making the boy's golden blond hair dance.
Father? The boy thought. Where is he? He continued to stroll down the now brightened hallway. Staring at the greenish black floor as he went the boy collided with a large body.

"Whoa, there little man. Why are you out here?" A large man, with long flowing brown hair asked his best friend's son.

"Uncle Neph! Have you seen my dad?" The boy asked.

"Sorry Xavier, I haven't. Maybe he's in the training room." The boy only nodded and started off in the same direction. Nephlite watched as the little kid body disappeared from sight. The Dark Kingdom was no place for a child.

************************************************

You must be confused. Yes Nephlite was dead, but he not anymore. Oh I'm getting ahead of myself. You see along time ago, Sailor Moon defeated Queen Beryl, main bitch of the Dark Kingdom. But to rise out of the snow, was a lost man: Jedite. The crystal imprisonment saved him from all destruction. Not being able to cope with the stress of lost comrades, Jedite began recreate the fallen Kingdom. He needed help. He went to the only person he knew who helped people.

************************************************

The scouts didn't seem to be winning this battle. Wicked Lady was just too powerful. Sailor Mercury was down and out, while Venus and Jupiter were injured seriously. Sailor Moon was on the verge of tears and Mars was running from a small cat head. It looked down for the scouts.
Tuxedo Mask threw a rose just before a teddy bear of power hit Sailor Moon.

"Sailor Moon? What are you doing? Get up and save Rini!" He shouted, though, never making a move too help further.

Jedite watched from the shadows, silently repeating Sailor Moon's real name over in his head. She has to help me. She has to. The scouts finally injured Wicked Lady enough to send her back to the Black Moon.

"Good job, scouts." Tux said before leaving.

"He could have help." Mars mumbled under her breath.

"Oh well. See you guys tomorrow." Venus said, and they split into different groups. Sailor Moon detransformed and walked through the park.

"Serena?" A deep masculine voice echoed through the deserted park. Serena spun on her heels, scared. She saw no one. Then a tall shadow stepped out from its brothers. "Serena--Sailor Moon?"

"How did you know?" She asked, started that anyone should know who she is.

"It was you who defeated Beryl, setting me free. It was you who cleansed the Dark Kingdom of evil, and hopefully, it will be you who helps me rebuild that kingdom." Jedite answered stepping from the darkness. "Please Sailor Moon--Serena, help me."

"Why--why do you need my help?" She asked, coming closer to him.

"The Kingdom is down. I have only just now escaped the Pole's cold. I want to rebuild my world, this time for goodness. There are so many survivors and we need help." He replied.

"And if I help you?" She implied.

"I help you."

************************************************

Nephlite steeped throughout the large wooden doors leading to the throne room. Many youmas were running around, trying to do this and that. In the center of the hustle and bustle was Jedite, Ruler of all the Dark Kingdom. He was dressed as Nephlite was: in black pants and tunic, with shining black boots encasing their legs. The only difference was, Neph had yellowish gold lining, while Jedite had white. Also Neph had a yellowish gold cape with red jeweled shoulder hooks, and Jedite had a white cape with blue jeweled shoulder hooks.

"Jedite! Hey, pal, you know Xavier was looking all over for you?" Neph asked as he greeted his long time friend.

"No, I didn't. If you could find Kunzite or Zoicite, maybe I could go find Xavier." Jedite answered.

"We're right here, oh mighty boss." Zoicite said, amused. He and Kunzite stepped through the door together, both in black, but Kunz had royal blue lining with a blue cape, and white shoulder hooks. Where as, Zoi had green lining and a green cape with gold shoulder hooks.

"Don't mind him. He just got back from a date." Kunz chuckled. "What do you need us to do?"

"Stay here, and supervise. Everything else is under control. Try to help a little, guys. I have to go find my son." As he said this Jedite left the scene with only his cape fluttering behind him.

"Must be tough being an only parent." Zoi muttered.

************************************************

Xavier walked into the viewing room. He knew he wasn't suppose to be in here, but his father was always here. Uncle Kunz once said his father liked to watch the world. He didn't know what that meant but hey, if his dad liked to watch the world so did he.

"What was it Zoi said to do?" He mumbled, "Oh yeah. Think about what you want and you can see it." Father…

One of the many mirrors took shape. In side he saw his father and the other kings in the throne room. Father's busy again. No time for play. Oh pooh. Dad way to busy. He stepped down only to have something dawn on him. If I can see my dad from here, could I see my mother?

Turning back around, he faced the mirror once again. Can you show me my mom? He thought. The image changed from his father to a park. His eyes grew wide as it zoomed in on a beautiful blond haired woman, sitting on a bench under a shady tree. She was dressed in a pair of blue jean shorts and a baby blue tank top with a white vest. Her hair was cascading down to her butt in waves. She stood up when two other women joined her. He stared as the image followed her.

"She beautiful, isn't she?" Xavier spun around to face his starry eyes father. He stared wistfully at the image.

"Is she really my mother?" Xavier asked.

"Yes, and she also the Princess who helped put our kingdom back together." Jedite replied, stepping forward and taking his son and placing him on his shoulder.

"THE princess. The legendary one. We just learned about her in tutoring. Wow!" Xavier could be like his mother at times. "Wait till the others hear. Markus and Calyx will be so surprised." And he continued to talk on. His father chuckled at him.

************************************************

"This place is a mess." Serena said, stepping over a charred piece of wood. "How long do you think it will take to clean this place up?" She asked looking to her companion for answers.

"I don't know, but it would be easier if we had help." Jedite replied, not taking his eyes of the destroyed throne room.

"What do you mean, help? I thought I was helping." She stated, confused. Jedite looked at her and smiled. So she looked cute when she did that. Nothing more.

"I think we should try to bring the other generals back. I'm--We're going to help."

"Well let's get on with it." She took hold of her crystal and then his hand. Warmth spread through both as Jedite spoke the words.

"Nephlite, Kunzite, Zoicite, come forth!" Winds picked up around them, as bright lights played around them. Three images formed, as the new Kings were back.

************************************************

The three girls walked back to the temple. After Serena had run off again, Mina and Lita had chased after her. Darien and Raye had gotten mad at her again, like always.

"Serena! Come on, that was so childish. We need you." Raye yelled.

"As we were saying before," Luna continued, "New energy patterns were being picked up. A youma was spotted earlier today, but only for a brief time. Amy?" The cat turned it over to the blue haired wonder.

"Um, well. Darien and I have placed a lock on it. Also, it seems Andrew has been giving off large amounts of energy. We need to look into that."

"And we need you, Serena, to help out. We need you to act more serious, and depend---" A large crash stopped Luna from continuing.

"What was that?!" Raye yelled.

"It came from that way." Mina yelled, before transforming.

"Let's go!" And they all did so.

************************************************

Three large youmas searched for the small boy. The two men accompanying them shouted and searched also.

"Little Prince?!" The pink youma shouted.

"Little Prince?!" The gray one shouted also.

"Prince?!" Nephlite shouted.

"Hey, you. The park is for quite times. And in the name of Mars…."

"Mercury!"

"Jupiter!"

"Venus!"

"We will shut you up!" They shouted together. The five figures sweat dropped.

"Could that be anymore corny?" Jedite asked.

"Hey, wait! You're suppose to be dead!" Mars shouted.

"We killed you a long time ago!" Mercury added.

"Uh, well…" Neph stammered. When a voice broke the awkward silence.

"Mom?!!"
