Chapter 6

Four handsome men and four beautiful women lounged comfortably in a very well decorated penthouse in upper Manhattan. Empty Chinese boxes lay allover the room along with some empty American beer bottles. After calming everyone down, Michael insisted before he tells him or her anything that they should all eat. Food and beer is always a good thing if you want to make people happy.

"Okay, now that I am full and content let's start this story." Mina said in her most commanding tone.

"I hope everyone is full so that you move slowly. Try not to get mad during this story okay." Michael begged.

"Six years ago when Darien arrived in Boston to go to Harvard we were waiting for him. We had all been resurrected after the defeat of Beryl to serve him once again. Darien had plenty of money and so we so we all hired trackers to watch you in Tokyo." He winced when he said this, expecting a shoe to hit him in the head.

"Go on, we won't hurt you. Yet." Lita smiled as she said it.

"Obviously, when we graduated we started Golden Era Inc. still keeping tabs on all of you. We had all planned when you turned twenty-three to go and get you and make you our wives. It seems stupid now and we know that but keep your comments to yourself for a moment. We had all set up trust funds for you and made them look like someone else had given them to you. It was so that you could all go to collage and have the future that you wanted before we came to get you all. About two years ago, I'm assuming after your last battle, Helios showed up in Darien's room giving him the Golden Crystal. Three months ago, Princess Serenity, gave up on her monotonous tour of Europe and the tracker Darien hired to watch her lost her."

"That must have been when she met Xander." Amy pointed out.

"Exactly. He had been following her for so long he didn't expect her to do anything out of the ordinary. Then, I am assuming when you left to come here to New York, all of our trackers lost you too. Imagine our surprise to find you here celebrating the Princess's engagement to one of our best friends"

"So, now that you have explained what has happened over the last years, it still doesn't tell us where Serenity is." Raye pointed out.

"Well, after taking possession of the Golden Crystal, Darien used the power of the crystal to resurrect Terra Castle. He had planned on giving it to the Princess as a gift."

"I didn't know that the Golden Crystal had so much power. Serenity had to use her crystal to make our castles come back." Amy said in awe.

"We didn't either. It looks exactly the same with a few changes of course." He smirked thinking of the suit he made for him and Mina. "So, I am assuming thats where he took her. They should have landed about 45 minutes ago."

Mina grabbed her chest in pain letting out a small screech. Malachite jumped to her side to hold her.

"Don't worry." She smiled. "Everything is perfect. The soul bond is stronger than ever."

"What soul bond?" Nephrite asked.

"Serenity and Endymion. I think that we are going to have to do some major stalling to Mr. Williams, ladies." Mina smirked priding herself for being the Queen of Love.

"Wait a second. Serenity didn't cut the bond? Then why didn't Endymion transform when Celestial Sailor Moon did?" Zoisite asked eagerly.

That was one question they did not want to answer. They were still trying to push out the gruesome memories that they held when it came to Celestial Sailor Moon. Raye spoke up she understood the most.

"This is going to be difficult to answer so try and keep up. Serena is the reincarnation of Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. Serena was a happy go lucky, bright, cherry, klutzy girl who had the passion of the Princess. They share one soul that was slowly coming together over time. The Princess grace and elegance and Serena's characteristics would have met in the middle at some point. When Diamond told Sailor Moon what he did to separate Darien and her and aided in killing Rini she snapped. Serena is almost no more and she tries to hold back Celestial Sailor Moon. Celestial Sailor Moon does not need Endymion's protection. She is now Serenity who will be Queen. She is everything anyone could want because she forces herself to be so. Sometimes we will still see Serena in her. What we are scared to see is Celestial Sailor Moon. That is her anger and she is scary. It is usually better if she does not transform." Raye shuttered again at the memory.

"What happened to Diamond." Jadeite asked not sure if he wanted to know.

"She used the crystal and pulled him apart limb per limb in the air laughing and crying over the death of Rini or lack of existence whatever you want to call it. Technically, Celestial Sailor Moon should not exist. She was created as a way to channel Serena/ Serenity's anger. It is a very effective tool. She is the most powerful creature ever. She has done some brutal things to our enemies especially if they hurt us. We have noticed that Endymion seems to do that same thing. I don't ever recall him getting angry like that as Darien in Tokyo."

"It is sort of true. Darien and Endymion have fully fused it seems like. Darien does get mad. He is so clever sometimes it makes us damn proud. Endymion could use his emotion to change the weather just like her did the other night."

"I remember when he did it the first time." Raye laughed. "Serenity was so scared. I swear he did that on purpose just to get near her. She was so mad when she found out that he could conger the storms."

"So, what name will we be calling you from now on." Amy asked.

"How about Raye can call me Love Muffin." Jadeite said. Raye burned him.

"I meant your General Names or your American Names?" Amy corrected herself with a huff.

"American in public, please. General any other time." Malachite insisted.

"Some one grab me and pen and paper. I have to write Xander a note." Mina said. She was not sure how they were going to get out of this one. Poor Serena.

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*

Xander,

I am so sorry that I left with such short notice. I had a family emergency in Tokyo and had to get back. I will try and bring my parents back with me so you can meet them. Please don't worry.

Sincerely,

Serenity

SINCERY! Xander crumpled up the note in his hand threw it across the room. He hadn't seen his angel in over two days and now she has just vanished. He called his office in Paris.

"Danielle, it's me Xander. Please find me Serenity's address and phone number in Tokyo as soon as possible."

He slammed down the phone and sat down in the chair in the room. His hands went and rubbed his eyes as he thought about last nights dream.

"Xander." An eerie voiced called to him where he stood in the middle of a fog. It seemed like he was near an old castle. "Serenity is in danger. Don't let her out of your sight. Join me to defeat the Earth Prince. He has your future wife. Take back what is yours. Join me…."He looked out in front of him and there stood a clocked figure with a hollowed head. It reached out its hand to Xander then he disappeared.

The dream was right. Someone had taken away Serenity and he was going to find out whom.

Darien and Serenity lay in the large bed. His arms around her never wanting to let her go. Her head laid on his chest as he breathed in as if hoping to fully take in the reality of the whole situation.

"Serenity, I've missed so much. But why did you change your name to Serenity?"

"I couldn't continue being Serena anymore. I am a stronger person as Serenity and the more people know my name the easier it will be when I am Queen."

"Why didn't I transform when you did, yesterday?"

"Celestial Sailor Moon does not need you. Plus, she is very unpredictable. I try not to transform. You are lucky you are alive after the transformation yesterday."

That answer kind of hurt but he saw with his own eyes the power that she wielded. He saw the black in her eyes and the vicious gaze she gave.

"When are you going to break it off with Xander?" He said changing the subject

"Do what? If I do recall Endymion, I have not been proposed to by anyone else." She smiled in to his chest. Thunder boomed in the air. She loved making him angry.

"Are you trying to make me angry?" He tilted her head up and started in to her eyes. His eyes looked furious all she could so was laugh. This made the thunder boom again and he began to glow gold.

"Hush, Endy." She pulled herself up to meet his gaze. She kissed him gently and against his lips she said "well aren't you going to ask me to marry you?"

The moon shown back in to the room as his anger dissipated. He grabbed her hand and threw off the engagement ring that Xander had given her. It landed near the fireplace. He sat up and picked her up like a baby in his arms placing gentle kisses on her face. "Serenity Tsukino." He kissed her nose.

"Love of my life." He kissed her brow. "

Will you do me the honor." He kissed her chin.

"Of making me the happiest man in the universe." He kissed her ear.

"My agreeing to be my wife and queen?" He kissed her lips then pulled out a ring from behind her ear. A beautiful pink diamond. She smiled and kissed him.

"With my whole heart, Yes." She smiled as he placed the ring on her hand. This time the tears that welled in her eyes were only that of pure happiness.

"Good. The wedding will be in two days. Let's go to sleep." He turned off the light and laid down quickly.

"What! Darien! No!" She nudged him hard.

"Sleeping, Sere. Shh" He pulled her down next to him and held her tight until she stopped causing such a racket.

"Don't think this conversation is over, Prince of Earth."

"Shhh. I need my beauty rest. I'm getting married in two days. Go to sleep." She couldn't help but to laugh and smile. She snuggled herself closer to him and closed her eyes.
