Long black hair trailed behind Hinako as she walked through the
room. A large wall full of television screens lined the area behind
her, showing pictures of different Senshi. Her blazing red eyes glared
at each one for a moment before she turned around. "Ten'ou Haruka, also
known as Sailor Uranus. Kaioh Michiru, also known as Sailor Neptune."
Hinako tapped her fingers on the glass and watched the transformation
on the screen. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the next person come
onto the screen.

"Tomoe Hotaru, also known as Sailor Saturn," a deep voice resounded
from behind her. Kento walked towards her, his green eyes shining in the
light from the screens. The boots on his feet made a sound like shotgun
blasts in the small room as he descended down the remaining stairs and
towards Hinako. "Mizino Ami, Aino Minako, Hino Rei, Kino Makoto - Sailor
Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter."

Hinako, her eyes full of longing and passion, walked towards him and
put her hand on his chest. "Stupid Senshi, thinking their obvious human
appearances would fool us." She rolled her eyes, chuckling darkly. "How
much longer, Kento? I anxiously await the day that I finally come into
my proper position. When *we* finally get what we deserve."

"Patience, my dear. Patience," Kento answered, breaking away from
her and walking towards another screen. His eyes flashed as he was drawn in
by the picture on the screen. Her eternal beauty was so captivating, so bright.
He felt his blood race faster and faster through his veins. He swallowed hard
before he spoke: "Chiba, Mamoru and Usagi. Tuxedo Kamen and Eternal Sailor
Moon. Children - Chiba Kazeno and Sorano; to be turning four years old next
month."

As he finished his last sentence, Kento put his hand over the cheek of
Sorano on the screen and smiled evilly. "Twins; that hold the combined powers
of their mother and father. Twins; that are the key to the universe and all
that I want. Twins... that are the key to the undoing of the Prince and
Princess."

The two small children lit up all of the screens, their large deep
blue eyes smiling happily as they played in the park. Black silken hair
flowed in the wind behind Sorano has she slid down the slide and was pulled
up into the arms of her father.

Kento's eyes grew dangerously dark as he watched the children play.
His finger rubbed his chin thoughtfully as his twisted mind played around
with ideas and plans. "It's almost time."

Usagi walked across the screen, her round stomach sticking out in front
of her. She thoughtlessly rubbed one hand over her stomach as Mamoru leaned
over and kissed her softly. A small boy with midnight black hair that fell
slightly over his eyes pulled gently on her shirt seam and giggled when
Mamoru scooped him up in his other arm and the four started back towards
their apartment.

Hinako rolled her eyes and stepped back towards the steps that would
lead her upstairs. "Don't get too attached to your unborn one," she said
to the screen, as if Usagi could truely hear her words of warning. "You
won't have her that long." Her laughter followed her out of the room.

Disclaimer: Sailor Moon, the world, and so many other things do not belong
to me. You may sue me if you wish, but I can guarantee you that the line
is long and doesn't move very often ^^;

This chapter hasn't changed much, the next one is where you'll see all the
revisions. ^_^
