Author's Note: I know I have a lot of stories on the go right now but this one is stuck in my head right now. It wont take me long to complete so I have to write it. Forgive me! It is a Serena/Duo fic because I love that pairing. Often when I read these fic's they don't capture their true characters. So I am going to try, Serena will be a little out of character but I will try to keep her kind heart in mind. Hope you enjoy R/R!

Chapter One: Lovers in the Past
The smell of death lingered in the air, the smell was so powerful it burned deep into my throat leaving a sour taste in my mouth, and an imprint on my memory. The screaming of my scouts and my love as they died protecting me. Was I really worth protecting, worth their lives?
My home the place that could never be destroyed was falling into ruin before my eyes. Mother had sealed Beryl away and with the last of her energy decided she would save those who lost their lives. Knowing I wished to be with them she handed me the sword of Artemis, the only sword capable of killing an immortal.
"My precious daughter, I love you so much. I only wish you happiness and when you need me I will always be in your heart." My heart shattered as I reached for her my mother, the Queen of the Sliver Millennium a direct descended of Diana Goddess of the moon, was reduce to a battered and broken woman lying there. I embraced her one last time, knowing she was willing to give her immortality to save the others. She could recover if she wished but she knew I wouldn't be happy without them by my side. She sacrificed herself so that I could have my selfish dreams. What kind of daughter am I?
"Mother, please don't go! I know you can recover if it is your hearts desire!" I begged and pleaded to her.
"My darling Serenity, this is what I want more than anything. One day when you are a mother you will understand but, for now child do as I ask and don't blame yourself. It is my choice to give you a new chance in life."
"I love you mother"
"And, I love you, now please I don't have much time left. I want to send you with your scouts so you will end up together." I embraced her for the last time and as I held the sword above my chest I couldn't help but think of the previous night and how I wished I could remain in that time forever.
Author's Point of View Flash Back The Previous Night-"Duo please follow me I have something special I want to show you" As I ran through the gardens he followed behind trying to keep up. Tonight is the night; I am going to give myself to him, if he will have me. Surrounded by white roses in our special spot. Once we make love we will be forever bound, it is a big decision. I have played it over and over in my head thinking of the perfect way. I decided on our special spot in the gardens hidden away from prying eyes. Arriving at my destination it was time to take a breather all that running takes a tole on your muscles.
"Ah ha I caught you Serenity," Duo smiled as he picked me up princess style and kissed me softly. Although few people ever see the kind side of Duo, I have been blessed to know the real him. To others he was a murder the "God of Death" as they liked to call him. I know differently though, the real him doesn't wish to fight. However, he wishes to protect those closest to him.
"I love you Duo" I can feel the warm tears run down my face, the fear of rejection is almost to much to bear. What if he doesn't wish to share eternity with someone like me?
"I love you to my little bunny, but why are you crying is everything alright? Did I do something wrong?" His eyes were filled with concern as he sat me on the ground. Taking a seat beside me I know he wanted an answer and now is as good a time as any.
"Duo, I love you and I want to share eternity with you. But, you know that it is not possible right now because I am betrothed to the Prince of Earth. I want to change that if you will have me" I couldn't stand to look at him out of fear, so I simply stared at the ground awaiting his answer.
"My dear bunny, you know it is my dream to share eternity with you but I know it is not possible. I am nothing more than a knight one who has blood staining his hands. I am not worthy of someone like you." Unshed tears lined his eyes as I finally looked at him.
"You are worthy of me, I love you more than anything! And I know the real you although you have blood staining your hands it was only to protect the ones you care about. There is a way for us to be together but it would mean that you are bound to me forever." Looking straight into his eyes I was in a trance awaiting an answer.
"Anything, you are the only woman I will ever love and I want to share eternity with you. Just tell me what I have to do." Finally releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"We have to make love, it will bind us together forever, and they will have no choice but to marry us. I love you Duo and you are the only man I wish to give myself to. Although, it may seem a little drastic it is the only way when no one will listen to me!" Before I could utter another word his lips caught mine in a tender kiss.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" He looked deep into my eyes; only able to nod but, it was enough. We made love.
The only thing left was to tell my mother there would be no wedding to the Prince but to my knight in shinning armor. Before I got the chance to speak with her Beryl attacked.
End Flash Back
As I lodged the sword deep into my chest I felt no pain but a warm white light surrounding me. Mother's love was comforting me as she sent me to a new beginning.
Some where else in time and space
"No, No, No, that foolish Princess, giving herself to a mere knight, when she is engaged to Prince Darien of Earth." An older woman with long sliver hair and timeless blue eyes paced back and forth deciding the fates of those from the Sliver Millennium. Although, she has been called many things she has taken the name Destiny.
" I know, I will send them to different time periods then she will have no choice but to fall in love with the Prince of Earth." As the epiphany struck her a young woman walked in.
"It is not wise to interfere in love Destiny, they are bound and the Princess will not forgive you if she ever finds out."
"Pluto, how nice of you to stop by, but I don't need your input on this decision. She made a mistake and I will help her to fix it."
"Destiny, it was not a mistake and you know keeping them apart will end in disaster!" The usually clam scout was loosening her patience, although Destiny has the Princess best interest at heart she was not considering the consequences of her actions.
"It will be fine Pluto, I will simply alter her memories a bit nothing bad will happen. Just wait and see!"
"I can not change your mind Destiny, but soon you will see true love is not something to be messed with." With those final words Pluto took her leave and Destiny began her work.
"I will send Serenity and her scouts to modern Japan that is where she will be needed most. When Beryl comes back she will be ready to defeat her for good. As for Duo, I will send him to a time he will be useful in the year after colony 195."
