"Sere!" an alarmed king of earth exclaimed in worry as he saw his wife on the balcony ground. The silver crystal floating in mid air glowing a light pink. Quickly, Duo gathered her in his arms while his hands promptly moved to check her pulse.
As he found one he sighed in relief, before stroking her cheek softly. He smiled as he saw her eyes flutter open to reveal her crystal blue orbs to him. "What were you doing?" He asked gently as he looked up at the crystal. "And why are you activating the crystal by yourself?"
The blond queen sighed as she slightly moved in her husband's arms. "I'm trying to bring back your sister."
Duo seemed to freeze as he heard her words. Slowly but surely he looked down at her. "That's not possible Sere. She's been gone for seventeen years! The crystal can't bring back the dead. Even if you bring her back, do you know how Heero and Miyo will react?"
"I know," she sighed. "but since the beginning, I've watched Miyo and Heero live their lives without a mother and a wife. Heero won't marry any one Duo. I know that, you know that we all know that." She spoke as she stood up some. "They have been hurting for too long. And I know that Heero is starting to lose control. I can feel it. Duo please. Don't you want to see her again?"
Duo's eyes shined with tears before he closed them and buried his face in her neck. "My wish is to see her, even if it is just one second. I would sleep better knowing she's ok."
"Then help me D-chan." Sere's soft voice whispered into his ear. As she felt him nod after some period of time, her smile broadened and closed her eyes as she could feel oncoming tears of happiness. They might get her back. Might get their friend back. A member of their large family.

"Father!" The daughter of the heir to Jupiter's throne and the perfect soldier yelled. Anger was the only emotion to cross her beautiful and delicate face. Her blue eyes that resembled the perfect soldier, searched for the older man with annoyance. She couldn't believe it. How dare he do this to her! Why wasn't her mother here? Her thoughts screamed with blinded rage as she scanned her home. She knew he was here. He had nowhere else to go.
Entering his room, her eyes zoomed on the figure lying on the bed. "How could you?" She yelled at him. "You have no right to…how dare you father!" She shouted at him with pure frustration and resentment as she slammed the door behind her.
Although she was in complete rage, the man slowly sat up from his bed. He glanced towards her through the corner of his eyes before looking outside his window. "Don't talk to me in that manner, Miyo." He spoke firmly without hesitation. "You knew better."
"Don't talk to you…I knew better…?" She said incredulously. "Father, you just threatened my boy…ex-boyfriend now, thanks to you. You have no right!"
"I *have* a right to warn the boy when I find out my *seventeen* year old daughter is *sleeping* with him. I told you so many times. *Wait till you're married*" His voice was harsh as he stood up to face her. His eyes locked with hers with disappointment. "You are not to see him again, is that understood?"
"You can't do…"
"Is that understood?" He quickly cut her off, speaking loud and clear, leaving no room for disagreement.
The tall woman frowned in dislike as she looked at the older man with small hatred. He had no right. Her mind hissed. "I wish mother…"
"*Don't* bring her in this." He silently warned as his eyes harden.
"And why not? I BET she's better than you are. She probably could understand me more than you! You're a hypocrite!"
SLAP!
The room was silent for a moment, but to the two occupants it seemed like eternity. Blue watery eyes stared into regretful blue ones. As he stepped forward, she retrieved as if keeping safe. Taking a few steps back again, she sniffed before running out of the room. Never had he raised a hand to her. Never.
As he remembered the look in her eyes, a tear fell from his eyes. More came as he stared at the hand that he had used to strike his daughter. Everything was falling apart around him. He thought he had it in control but he knew he didn't. He was loosing control, control of his daughter, and control of himself. He didn't want to lose Miyo the same way he lost his love. He wouldn't be able to handle it. It would kill him and he knew it.
The emotions he had been keeping at bay were starting to over flow. He didn't know what to do. All he knew was that he needed help. He couldn't do this on his own anymore, yet whom could he go for help. No one around him knew how it felt to be alone. To have a child, to watch there love die right in front of them. None of them knew how it felt.
As he fell back on the bed, his eyes immediately looked up at the white ceiling of his room. This wasn't fair. He would give an arm and a leg to have her back. He would give his *life* to have her back. Yet, he knew that it would never happen. She would never give him that smile again. Never be there for him. It was a closed book. And he knew it so well. So well that it hurt to think about her but he couldn't help it. His daughter looked just like her if not for her eyes she would be a carbon copy of the princess. She was as graceful as her mother was and her smile was hers.
Sighing, he turned to his left side and closed his eyes. There was no point in thinking about it. It won't bring her back. That point of his life was closed and should be kept away. He had to focus on his daughter. She needed him more than his dead love. She was gone and his daughter was here with him.
'I'll talk to her later.' He thought before sleep caught on to him.

In her room, Miyo could be found on her bed crying while hugging her pillow. Her face slowly rose from the pillow as tears fell from her blue eyes. She was shocked and hurt that her father had touched her like that. He had never raised his hand at her. Not even when she had did something to anger him. He had always kept his cool. A sob fell from her lips as she sat up and dried her eyes. She hated crying. She never liked the feeling. As she looked outside she sighed. It was raining. It wasn't a few minutes ago. She had lost control again. She had let her emotions temper with the weather once more.
She swore a little, now her uncles and aunt will know something's wrong with her. She hated it when they would fuss over her like that. Slowly she tried to control her heartbeat as she drew calm. She smiled when she watched the rain come to an end.
Turning around to face her bed, she paused as her eyes caught the framed picture of her mother in her father's arms. Her smile was so bright and she looked so happy. Yet she remembered one part of the letter she would always read before going to bed.
I had hope that he will tell me one day that he loves me. As the time went by he had still never told me. Though I could see it in his eyes. I just wanted him to say it. I didn't know what was so hard in saying those three words but I learned that he was struggling.
Miyo wiped her eyes as she felt the tears while remembering her mother's words. If that was so, then how could she be happy? He had never told her he loved her mother. Than how can she claim that she was happy with him? She walked towards her parents picture and knelt down in front of it. 'Mother were you really happy with father?' She silently thought as she rested her head on the night stand where the frame stood. She closed her eyes as she remembered more of her mother's words.
I wish I could hold you. It really pains me to know that I would never get to know you or that I would never hold you or comfort you, even spoil you. If I could be there I would. The doctor told me there would be severe complication in birth and if I didn't give you up I would die. But honey the thought of killing my own child was something I would never dream of doing and I don't regret that decision. I love you so much Miyo.
A sob left her rosy lips as a tear fell. 'I wish you were here too mother. I really wish you were. Thank you for having me.'
"Mother I need you with me please."

"Where are you going?" The woman whispered while sitting up from her bed and watching as the man put on his clothes.
"Home." He spoke with out feelings before leaving the woman's room.

Heero watched as she walked away…

Narrowing his eyes out of irritation he spoke in his usual tone. "I can't keep going like this Mako. I don't even know who the hell I am anymore…"
"And you think I do!!!??" The tall brunette yelled as tears clouded her vision. "You think I like waking up not know what went wrong? Or what I did wrong for you to be so cold to me?" She spoke as a tear slid down her cheek. "I was so confident when I stepped into this university three years ago then everything went out the window when I met you. I'm so confused that I don't know what to do anymore. It hurts sleeping with you knowing the next day you won't be there when I wake up or seeing you leave without a goodbye." More tears fell from her eyes as she looked at him. While a lump in her throat grew bigger. "Please tell me what did I do wrong? Or what didn't I do…" She couldn't hold in her cries anymore. Her sobs filled the once quiet room as Heero stared at her shocked. Not once he had he seen her like this. She was crying as if she had lost the world. Did he really do those things to her? Did he make her feel like she was worthless?
Heero grunted as he turned in his bed. Why do these dream keep coming. Was he desperate of having her with him that mush that his mind would dig up the past? But if that was so then why would it dig up the bad? Tossing his head to the side Heero frowned in his dream. Suddenly, he stood up from his bed gasping and panting.

Moist green eyes stared through a mirror as her daughter cried for her. She had watched the argument of Heero and Miyo. She knew his reasons of hitting her daughter. She just wished he would explain it to her. Yet, she was proud of how he raised her. From what she had seen during the past years after her death, Miyo was raised to be a strong, loyal, kind, devoted respectful young woman. Yet, she too disapproved of her daughter's decision to sleep with her boyfriend. She had watched as Heero had to her countless times to wait until she was married and she fully supported him. She just wished she was there too. She had watched her daughter's growth through mirrors and nothing else. It saddens her but also relieved her. Relieved her that she could see her daughter and love but sadden her because she was not there with them. She had no regrets in choosing her daughter's life than her own. She was proud.
"Thank you Pluto." The woman whispered softly. She slowly turned to face the enigmatic woman who was behind her. "You have no idea what this means to me. Letting me see my love and daughter once in a while."
The guardian smiled slightly. "You are welcome Jupiter-hime. Rest now."
The brunette nodded as she faded. She gave the tall haired woman a smile before she faded away into the mist and into the world of the dead.
"You will need that rest young one." The enigmatic voice of the woman spoke into nothingness. "A challenge will come your way soon."

Serenity's blue eyes narrowed with devotion to her cause as he husband stood beside her in support. The crystal stood in front of them glowing a bright pink. As she grasped it she closed her eyes and chanted something that only the both of them could here. Something her mother and Luna had thought her so many years ago. The mantra to revive a dead body with its soul. This was forbidden and only the mistress of the Moon could do it for a small price. She hadn't told her husband about the price because she knew he would never allow it. Even if it was to see his baby sister again. She couldn't tell him that her life will shorten after this ritual.
As the mantra ended the crystal flew from her hands and begun spinning in a rate no eye could follow, while pouring a bright light blinding the royal. As the light slowly died, they opened their eyes to see the crystal floating above them, pulsing.
"What's it doing?" Duo asked as it watched the crystal fascinated.
Serenity only shook her head, in response.
Suddenly, the crystal pulsed its last pulse before it dropped in its mistress hands. "Its done." She whispered.
"Where is she then?" Duo asked as he looked around on the balcony.
"I don't know." The regal woman whispered.
There was a quiet moan behind them catching their attention. They both turned around and ran into their room only to stop in their tracks as their eyes fell on the tall being on the ground. Serenity's hands flew to her mouth as tears were brought to her eyes while Duo ran to the woman on the floor.
"Mako." They both whispered.
