Ok, I know that none of the things mentioned below are true, but the story was based on
a rumor someone told me about that Pluto had a little thing for Endymion based on the
manga. I went with that little rumor and ended up with this. So here you go... I don't own
Sailor Moon or any of it's stocks or whatever. I don't know Naoko, wish I did though. Enjoy.
And if you like this story read Misconceptions... It'll be up soon enough. It's the sequel to
this story. Later.




Outside The Queen's Chambers
"Setsuna I would like to think you for leaving the Gate of Time to come here and
help while Selenity is sick. It has been a pleasure to have you here and you were very
good company while you were here. I fear though that you must return to your post. You
have been gone far too long and Selenity is beggining to feel much better. You will of
course be rewarded for your troubles here. Anything you wish and it is yours." King
Endymion said to the adoring face of Meioh Setsuna. She looked at him as a young child
looks at her father. With total love.

"Your Majesty, I think you very much for having me here. It was no trouble at all
to help. Everyone here is very kind and gracious. I would love to say there is nothing my
heart desires, but there is one thing I do desire. I have enjoyed my time here more than
anything else I have ever experienced. All I ask is perhaps a temporay replacement at the
Gate of Time. Just so I may come here and visit so I will not be so lonely. The time I
spend here would not be very long or often.... Just long enough to talk among my friends.
That's all. If it acceptable to you Your Highness." Setsuna said, looking down the whole
time. She glanced up after she finished and he was smiling.

"Sweet Setsuna, of course you may have your wish granted. Diana will become
your temporary replacement when you decide to leave. And you are welcome here
anytime. Your presence brings joy to my wife, the other Ladies, and myself. Now I must
get back to my wife. As soon as the sun comes up I will arrange it with Diana that she
will be your replacement." He turned and began to walk back into Selenity's
bedchambers. He turned right before he walked into the room.

"And one last thing Setsuna, call me Endymion. All of my friends do." he smiled
at her and winked at her. He then turned and walked into his spouses bedroom.

Meanwhile...

Minako was in her sancatury where she watches the Flames Of Love. Candles that never
melt, but burn out when a romance has died. The Candles lit themselves, but Minako
could easily burn them out. She had never done that before, not wanting to play with
people's hearts. Each candle represented a person and the color of the Flame burned the
color of the others Auras. She noticed that one candle was beginning to burn brighter
than any other. She walked over expecting it to be Endymion or Selenity's candle but
was suprised when it was. It was a green mixed with red in it. Setsuna's candle.

"Now who could Setsuna love? She hardly knows anybody." Minako observed
the color of the flame. It was black . Only one person had a black aura. But it couldn't be
him. Could it? Why would she fall for him? He's already taken. But the candles never lie.

"So.... Setsuna is in love with.... Endymion?"

CH. 1
"I'm sorry to tell you this Your Highness, but she's not getting any better. She
was doing very well for awhile. The fever started to break and she even recgonized you...
But now her fever shot back up and she's still disoriented. I hate to say this but I don't
think she's gonna pull through this one. I hope she does because she is our Queen and a
truely magnifcent woman but..." the doctor trailed off. He was talking to Endymion and
Endymion was just staring blankly off into space. He simply nodded and walked into his
bedroom. Not because he didn't want to see anyone. Not because he was afraid of
someone seeing him crying. But because he wanted people to think he was mourning. He
was of course upset about her being sick and possibly dying. But not to where he was
crying.

The truth of the matter was that he didn't truely love her anymore. He respected
her to the upmost but the spark was gone. She was beautiful and everything that he
wanted in a woman but that special something wasn't there. He wished he had someone
to talk to. The Inner Senshi were her best friends. They wouldn't understand. Oh, how he
longed to talk to Minako about it. She would never understand it. She would tell Selenity
in a heartbeat. She was the most loyal to Selenity than any of the other Senshi. Michiru
and Haruka were too distant. He had never really befriended them and they were too
distant for him to have that converstation with. Hotaru was out of the question. Then a
brainstorm hit him.

Setsuna. Over the past few weeks they had become friends. He had been slightly
attracted to her dark mystery. Her mystery was different than Michiru and Haruka. She
had developed this certain aura about her from the centuries of being alone. Even though
she had done very little, she had many secrets. She mystfied him. He would talk to her
the next time she came by.

Setsuna came by two days later and Endymion sought her out and found her with
Minako and Rei talking about the health of Queen Selenity. He stood and leaned on the
door watching. The converstation went on for about ten minutes before Rei noticed him.
She smiled at him.

"Endymion, what brings you in here?" Rei asks. He smiled back at her.Setsuna
had smiled at him also, but Minako was simply glaring at him.

"Your pleasent company. But I actually must talk to Setsuna about something of
great importance. Do you mind me stealing her away?" he said grinning to Rei. She smiled
back, but Minako still was just glaring at him. He looked at her and his smile dropped.

"Something wrong Mina-chan? You look distressed." She still just glared at him
and shook her head. After a minute she spook.

"Nothing's wrong with me King Endymion. I'm not the one with the problem.
Now excuse me I must go attend to the Queen." she said with hate in her voice. She got
up and briskley walked out of the room.Everyone's eyes were on her as she walked out.

"What did I do to make her mad?" Rei shrugged. He just pulled Setsuna out off
the room into one of his private bedchambers. He explained everything to her. How the
passion was going out of his marriage, how he had noone to talk to, and how he needed
someone to t alk to and thought of her. She simply nodded her head to what he said.

"Endymion you need to tell her. She deserves to know. You obviously should
wait until she's better though. For now, you can planon how you intend on telling her"
she said. He didn't like the idea telling Selenity, but it was his obligation. And besides
Setsuna was one his side and only wanted to help him. As he looked at her he noticed
how beautiful she was. Her strong cheekbones, jade green hair, her beautiful purple
eyes(AN: her eyes are purple now k?). He wondered why he had never noticed how
beautiful she was before. Probably because he had been so in love with Selenity. Well he
wasn't now and this was the first time he's ever actually looked at her. She has soft
looking lips, I wonder what it would be like to kiss her.

He was staring at her, and it was making her feel uncomfortable. Like she'd been
doing something wrong just talking to him. She looked down and began to examine his
hands, which were resting in his lap. He had strong hands. She envied Selenity for getting
to be held in his arms, and touched by his hands. Endymion then leaned up and took her
chin in his hand. They looked at each other silently until he kissed her. At first it was an
innicent, soft kiss but after a minute they had began to explore each others mouths with
their tounge. Setsuna put her arms around Endymion and was just holding him, enjoying
the moment. Endymion put his hands on her hips and began to feel around her nether
regions. Setsuna, caught up in the hat of the moment, pulled him down onto the bed.
Endymion then climbed onto her.

Meanwhile....

Minako was in her private room examining her candles. Especially Endymion's.
The sole black candle in the room had burnt out three days ago. He no longer loved
Selenity, and she alone knew that, besides Endymion. She would keep her silence for
awhile, hoping he would tell her. But she would only wait so long. She suddenly noticed
a spark from Endymion's candle. Thinking that maybe he had refallen in love with
Selenity she rushed over. The flame burnt another color than Selenity's virgin white
candle. A green candle... mixed with a deep red. Minako was taken back by this. Shocked
she stood in the middle of the room.

"Endymion is falling for... Setsuna? Impossible" Minako said as she stood there
still watching the candle. As she tried to deny it, the evidence was clearly there.
Endymion's black candle was burning Setsuna's green and red flame.
