As soon as they stepped into the hallway there was a huge gust of wind and a voice called out, "My Queen." The scouts backed up into the apartment again and Rini ran to hide in Dariens room. As everyone stood in the living room a black wind picked up again and a figure in white appeared before them.



~A Queen and Two Princes~

This is a sequel to 'Your Rini's Mom' I know that tittle sucked but I couldn't think of anything better at the time so deal with it. I got some reasponse to do a sequal so here it is. If you haven't read the first one you might want to in order to understand this one. It's just a one parter so don't freak out and go "oh no! Now I have to read a whole other story in order to read this one and the first one sounds like iot sucks!" I hope you like it and email me! I'm feeling so deprived of email lately. *tear*





A figure dressed in white appeared in the room. I knew who it was the moment he spoke. It was the same person who has been giving me nightmares over and over again. The voice in my dreams telling me to stay away from my princess, my love. The man smiles as his eyes lock on Serena. I turn to her to see her take a step forward and in her strongest voice ask, no demand to know who this man is. He laughs.

"You'll know soon enough my love." He stretched out his hand for her to take, "Come with me." She looked at his hand with a raised eyebrow and laughed. He didn't look fased by this.

"You want me to go with somebody I have no clue as to who they are?" Her hand laid atop her brooch, ready to call upon her powers if the need arised. I looked to the scouts to see they have already transformed. "Your crazy." She finished. Her face had hardened and she looked to the man to see what he would do next.

The man sighed, "Understandable. I am Prince Dimond of the Black Moon family." (AN: Who were you expecting? :P King Endymion? Muhahaha) He bowed low and continued, "I only wish to speak with you about this war we are having, My Queen." He smiled at her look of puzzelment.

"Why do you keep calling me Queen? And what is this about war 'we' are having? Are you the man who keeps sending these horrible monsters looking for Rini? Well?!" She was angry. And rightfuly at that. Serena wasn't the most patient woman I've known and the mention about the 'war' which was revolved around Rini and the crystal set her off.

"I am." I grabbed for a rose and transformed. He looked at me with amusement and then back to Serena. He sighed and continued, "I keep forgetting you are not Queen yet. It seems I must start from the beggining. Shall we?" He motioned as he once again reached for her hand.

"Whatever you must say can and will be said in front of my court." She held herself like nobility and I knew she was taking her rold as Princess. She may not be a queen but she is royalty and if this man insist on refering to her as such, who is she to argue?

He shrugged his shoulders and sighed again. "Very well." With those words there was another gust of black wind that surrounded us all and carried us away. Then it went completly black...

I coudn't see. I coudn't hear. I couldn't even feel! It was like I was floating in a black abyss. And as far as I was concerned I was. I turned my head from left to right hoping to find the slightest slither of light to see by. Then I saw it. There was a window to the right. It was tilted crooked. I tried walking to it. That didn't work. Well, since I'm floating I might as well try swimming, no matter how stupid I feel doing it. So I sawm over to the window. When I got there I saw Serena in a very different outfit laying on a bed. What is she wearing? And how did she get into it? She looks unconsious. I took out a rose and shot it at the glass. It bounced off! Whats going on here? Where am I? And right when I began to panic I saw a door, off to the side of the room Serena was in, open. It was that stupid Prince something or other that did all of this. If he touches her I swear I'll kill him! No! Torchure him! But he wasn't doing anything yet. He was simply sitting in a cahir by the bed holding Serenas hand and watching her. What kind of guy looks at the woman who wants him dead! with that kind of look? Then it hit me all to fast. A guy in love. But that brought up a whole other set of questions. I decded to ignore them for now and just watch what happens. I can't do anything else.



It's so dark. I can make out shadows but everything is so blurry. I feel so heavy but very relaxed. I try to open my eyes but they hurt from the intense brightness so I close them again. "No, no. Your better than that, my love. Open your eyes and wake up now." I could hear this voice luring me out of sleep. Was I sleeping? I don't remember. I try to open my eyes again. This time it wasn't as bright. I saw someone leaning over me, blocking the light. "Thats my girl." He said. I could tell it was a man. When my eyes focused I gasped. My memories flooded back to me and I sat up quickly. Too quickly. I sucked in my breath as I felt the effects of not moving after....after what? We were talking in Dariens appartment, and then?

"What happened?" I looked at him accusingly. He almost looked hurt by this but replied evenly, "We are at the rystal palace. Your palace in 30th century Tokyo." He smiled at me and continued, "Time traveling usually leaves you 'asleep' for a whole day. You've been out for an hour. Your beloved friends are still alseep but the ever so tough, "rolling his eyes while he said this, "Tuxedo Mask is up and about." Darien? Well then where is he? I asked Dimond just this. "He isn't far. He is in a room next to this one as a matter of fact. But don't worry. He is well occupied."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked suspicously.

"Simply that he doesn't have to sit and worry." He shrugged as he said that. "Now, I do belive we have a couple of things to talk about, Sailor Moon. Or should I be calling you Neo-Queen Serenity? It sounds so formal. How about I just call you Serena?" He smiled at the shocked look on my face. How did he know all of this? He seemed to read my mind when he said, "A person usually knows the person they love better than themselfs." My eyes widened even further. He loves me?! What is going on?!

"Wait a minute! If you love me then why are you sending these monsters after Rini and the Silver Crystal?!" I screamed frustrated.

"Rini has the Silver Crystal. I need to get it back," But I cut him off.

"Get it back?! It's not yours!" He sighed and continued,

"I need to get it back for an old friend," He smiled at me as if I should know who hes talking about. "You see, everybody was so busy planning Rini's birthday party, they didn't relize they were ignoring her. She wandered off to your room and took the crystal hoping to gain some kind of power so you would be proud of her. But it disappeared when she touched it. Thats when my men betrayed me. They said I was 'getting too cozy with the queen'." He rolled his eyes and then smiled, "I wish." He had a joking smile and I couldn't help but smile in return even if a bit shyly.

"But how did you know about what happened to Rini?" I asked. He smiled knowing it was simply curiosity and not accusations.

"One time during a battle I put her to sleep so I could read her mind. Only she would know what happened. Once I found out I let things go its course untill I could find an opening. Now seemed like a pretty good time to me." He reached up and stoked my cheek, "Besides...I missed you too much." He smiled and I backed away nervously.

"I...um...Can I see the others now?" I asked as I looked at my hands in my lap. I could tell he was frowing by the way he held himself.

"Don't you love me?"

I looked up at him shocked. "L..love you? I...Dimond, I do like you. Your really nice, but I love Darien."

"He isn't even here! He left you!" He was standing up and shouting now. "He doesn't love you! I do! Why can't you see that?"

I felt something wet on my cheek and noticed I was crying. "I..." My voice cracked and I hated myself for it. "I know he doesn't love me. But I love him!" I shot up from my spot and walked swiftly to the door. I tried to pull it open but as soon as I touched it I was thrown back. I landed on the ground, hard. I looked at Dimond and found him smiling at the wall! What is up with this guy?

"You wont walk away from this unless you promiss yourself to me. I always get what I want and I want you!" He walked over to me and grabbed my arm. "I have tried to be the nice guy here but my patience is wearing thin." He pulled me up to him. I was about to push him away when I noticed we were floating above the room! A fall like that I wont survive in this form. I held onto him. I saw him smile from the corner of my eye and glared at him. "Don't make this any harder. All you have to do is kiss me. It isn't that bad is it?" He was smiling and all I wanted to do was smack it off his face. Darien! I screamed out with my mind. Please help me!



I floated in the dark watching the scene. I felt so helpless! When Serena went flying to the floor I started banging on the window. 'NO' I shouted. That creep acually looked up here and smiled! But when he had her up in te air I lost it. I started throwing my roses by the dozzen hoping to break that window to get to her. Darien! Please help me! I shook from that one thought. It was Serena. I could hear her through our link. 'Arg!' I screamed as I threw my body at the window. It broke into thousands of pieces. I fell to the floor. It hurt so much. I had tiny cuts all over my body and the fall was hard. I ignored the pain for now since it wouldn't help me save Serena. I pulled out a rose and threw it at Prince Jackass. It hit his face and he dropped Serena. I ran over and caught her. Prince Jackass screamed and lunged at me. I jumped back andran to the door off to the side. It wouldn't budge! Serena told me to let her go and I sat her on the ground. She swayed a bit but soon steadyed herself.

"Moon Crystal Power!" She shouted out. I gasped as the bright light blinded me. When it fadded instead of her red and blue fuka, it was black! She floated in the air and faced the door. When she raised her hand a bright blast shot from it and the door was gone. She floated back down and grabbed my hand. We ran out the door and down a series of halls. She seemed to know where she was going. Right before we were about to make another turn she fell to the ground in pain.

"Whats wrong?" I asked her. She smiled and said, "I took some of Dimonds power. But it's dark energy so it's eating my alive. But its the only way to get out of here. I just hope it doesn't get to my heart before I get everyone out of here. You wont find your way out with out me." I gasped. "Lets hury then! I wont loose you!" I picked her up and ran the rest of the way with her giving me directions. When we finally reached the door where the scouts were she blasted it open like the last one. Everyone gasped and ran over. "Power down! You dont need to stay like that any longer now! Mercury can get us out! Serena please!" I begged her. She was limp in my arms. She smiled and closed her eyes.



I could hear him calling for me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I pushed as hard as I could on the darkness in me. It's one thing to keep it away from you. Its another thing to get it away from you when its already there. I pushed harder and finally I felt a warm breeze sweep over me. I gasped and relized I had gotten it out. But I wasn't whole again. "Serena! Wake up please!" Somebody was crying fo me to wake up but who? Whats going on? I've been here the whole time. I open my eyes and see Darien bent over hold me. He was crying into my chest. "Darien?" I asked weakly. His head shot up and my eyes widened at the heart felt tears on his face. My face contorted i worry and I reached a hand to wipe his tears away. "Serena! Oh god! Your ok! you ok..." He hugged me tight and placed tiny kisses all over my face. I gasped. What is going on. "I'm so sorry. Don't ever leave me again. I love you." He wispered the last part and my eyes began to water. "What?" I asked not sure if I heared right. He smiled and said again, "I love you." I felt whole again. The emptiness of my heart. The evilness that ate most of my aura. It was all whole again. I stood up and looked to the scouts. Darien still had a tight hold on me and I smiled. Mercury spoke up, "I found a way out."
