Author's notes: Well, I guess an explanation is necessary. The reason I hadn't posted chapters seven through nine yet was, well I got blocked. I wanted this to be a fic I could be proud of, something that represented my viewpoints on a grave injustice. I also wanted this fic to be as perfect as possible, much like the Fanfiction legends before me. But I realized, this fic will never be perfect, just the best that I can provide. Again I apologize for the lateness of this chapter, but here it is.

Chapter Seven: A Unique Power
It had been a few weeks since Davis had saved Raye's grandfather from becoming a shadow warrior. And the girl was becoming a tad bit… obsessive. She was constantly worried about him. She would head over to his apartment to try and cook dinner for him, but unfortunately, her expertise in the culinary arts was, well… limited.
Serena could hardly stand it; Raye flirting with Davis so much. She had also noticed, to her unexpected revulsion, Zoicite eyeing him last time they fought. What if she liked him too? Not only did one of her best friends like her boyfriend, but her mortal enemy might as well. What was she going to do?
No one from the negaverse had appeared for at least a couple days. And this made Luna uneasy for a different reason. What were they up to?
"What the hell am I going to do about this?" Davis sighs exasperatedly, looking at his kitchen; well, the disaster that was his kitchen. Raye had pretty much decimated the damn thing in an attempt to make fried chicken, and entirely forgot cooking grease will burn things.
Davis watched this in amazement. Raye liked him a lot, but she was way too high maintenance. Even if she was drop dead gorgeous. There's no way in hell he could ask her this…
The scouts had just gotten word of another rainbow crystal, but yet it was almost impossible to trace. Amy even tried making a homing device on her computer for it, but no dice. They would just have to wait until they had learned more information.
"So, where's Raye? She always says Serena's late for this, or Serena's late for that." Lita says, surprised at the fact Serena showing up for the scout meeting but Raye had not.
Molly knew where she was, and was worried about Raye's intentions.
"Hey Mol, you look worried. What's the matter? Let me guess, Neflyte finally proposed, and you don't know what to say." Serena says, smirking at her friend.
"No. It's nothing like that. Serena, I think we need to talk."
Serena walks over to the side with her best friend, and asks her, "Okay, what's up?"
"I know where Raye is."
"Where?" Serena asks worried.
"She's going around town looking for Davis. Davis tells me that she pretty much destroyed his apartment trying to make him dinner the other day."
"What! Dinner?" Serena exclaims in shock. So Raye was trying to make a move on Davis.
Meanwhile in another dimension, L and Shon were observing this.
"Ha! So much for your plan of getting them together. Raye pretty much screwed that plan all to hell." L says to his friend.
"You observe nothing, do you?" Shon says to him, smirking.
"What do you mean?"
"You remember the rule, don't you?"
"Which one? There are about ten-thousand rules on this matter alone."
"Read the rule; Two-For-One." All of a sudden the most powerful book in existence appears.
"The GuideBook. Alright GuideBook, show me the rule on two for one." L says, then the book begins to glow. Manifesting the rule before them:
"The heir to the throne must have two wives before he takes the throne."
L face palms himself, then pulls out his wallet and hands Shon one-thousand dollars.
"Fine. You win again. So, how is this going to work? I mean, forgive the bad pun, but Serena and Raye are like fire and ice, there's no way in hell Serena will let Davis marry Raye too."
"Yeah, considering the fact that having more than one wife is illegal. Well, I better go work something out with the prime minister."
"How the hell do you plan to do that?"
"Lawliet, my old friend, there is nothing that money can't buy, and the happiness of my son is no exception."
Meanwhile back with the scouts; Serena, Amy, Lita, Molly as well as Luna had managed to get a readout on the possible location on the seventh and last rainbow crystal. Serena was trying to focus on what they were doing, but was worried about Raye trying to date Davis.
'It would be impossible to steal what will never in a million lifetimes, be hers.' This phrase ran through her mind over and over. What did he mean? Did he really love her that much?
"Hey Serena, we got something. I think the seventh crystal might be a couple streets over." Lita says to her friend, she had overheard what Molly had said and didn't like it one bit.
"Alright. Let's go."
Davis spent a better part of the day over at Neflyte's; particularly because Raye had absolutely no idea where his place was, and Davis saw that as a safe haven, the last bastion of sanity in his crazy life.
"What am I going to do Neflyte?"
Neflyte walked into the living room carrying a couple glasses of tea, sat them down and said; "Well, it seems like you've got a world of trouble on your shoulders. What I would do is think about what's really important here."
"It's just; I love Serena, but I don't want to hurt Raye. I mean can you understand my situation? I'm indirectly involved with a small gang of females, all of them attractive, and at least two of them have a thing for me." Davis says.
Neflyte could sense the inner struggle the boy had gone through since coming to this dimension, and only hoped he would get his "True" memories back soon.
Zoicite had managed to locate crystal about the same time as the scouts, and was surprised at the fact that the crystal belonged to a child. Acquiring the crystal would decide her fate, so failure was not an option.
After Davis had been visiting with Neflyte for a little while, he could sense that someone from the negaverse had emerged on earth. Neflyte sensed this as well and both headed to the direction that the impending danger was coming from.
They arrived at the location of the girl and her cat Hercules. The scouts were already there asking questions; Davis immediately took notice that the only one missing was Raye.
'Thank god, she isn't with them, I got to ask this in private.' Davis thinks to himself.
The both of them walked over to the group; but just as they did the girl's cat became upset at something, and took off. Davis caught a glimpse of the cat and noticed there was something odd about how it was acting.
Serena turned around and glanced at Davis. She walked over to him and began to ask him about Raye. "Davis…"
But before she could say any more, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, and whispered in her ears; "Still doubting me, eh? We're gonna have to work on that."
She blushed deep crimson, and said, "Um, I think we got a readout on the seventh crystal."
"Oh, okay." But as if sensing something differently entirely, the cat's bizarre behavior increased, and lurched from the girl's arms and took off, with her chasing after him. Serena and the others took off after her.
"Davis, something isn't right about this."
"I know Neflyte. I'll take off after the cat; there was something strange about it."
"Okay. Be careful."
"Will do." And with that Davis took off to locate the cat.
Raye spent a better part of the day searching for Davis but had no such luck in finding him. As she was walking along a bridge, she glanced over and noticed Luna running with a large white cat. She then noticed they were being chased by about one-thousand rats and Zoicite.
"What is she doing here?" she then noticed Davis chasing after them, and thought, 'Something's not right here. I better go help him!'
"MARS POWER!" And with that she transformed.
Seeing as the negaverse obviously knew who he was by now, after glancing around to see if anyone was there, besides him and Zoicite, he transformed.
"I'm sorry, but this time the crystal comes with me, dear boy." Zoicite says, extending the star crystal and began to extract the final piece needed to create the silver crystal.
Sailor Mars arrived moments later, knowing she was too late she focused her attacks on Zoicite.
"MARS… FIRE… IGNITE!"
This attack was barely evaded by Zoicite, who quickly retrieved the last rainbow crystal, and smirking says, "Looks like I've won. Have fun playing, children! HAHAHA!" And with that she teleported back to the negaverse.
Davis noticed how much pain Hercules was in as he began to transform. "I have to help him."
Sailor Moon and the others arrived shortly, noticing Mars was already there as well as Davis.
Once the transformation was complete; Davis noticed Hercules had become an
All-powerful shadow warrior, and was glancing down at Luna, before scooping her up and attempting to head towards the city.
Davis noticed how conflicted this creature was, and slowly walked over to him,
Sailor Moon watched in terror, afraid Davis might be killed.
Davis looked Hercules in the eyes, locked eyes with him, and began to speak in a foreign language. Hercules seemed to understand, and placed Luna down.
Luna was one of the most linguistic creatures in existence, and she knew full well what language Davis was speaking, and this disturbed her…
"Sailor Moon. Heal him."
"But…"
"Trust me."
"Alright."
"MOON… HEALING… ACTIVATION!"
And with that, he was returned to normal. And shortly after Davis collapsed…
Davis woke up in his apartment a few hours later. He woke up to find Serena watching him.
"Uh…" But before he could say anymore, Serena wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him harder than she ever had before.
"What happened back there?"
Just then, Luna entered the room and began to speak to the two of them.
"Davis, I owe my life to you, but what you did back there I had not seen done in nearly one-thousand years."
"What… do you mean?"
"You spoke to Hercules in a language foreign to this dimension. Only beings with netherworld or demonic blood could pull it off."
"You mean…" Serena begins to say.
"I'm a demon?" Davis finishes for her.
"I'm not sure. But this matter needs to be looked at; I'll contact central control on this and try to find something out."
"Thank you, Luna." And with that, she left.
"Serena…"
"Yes, Davis?"
"If it turns out, that I really am a demon, you must destroy me. I will not live in world in which I might destroy you."
Serena's head hung low, she lifted her head up, tears streaming down her face and slapped him hard.
"Davis! You listen and you listen good; I cannot and will not do that. I love you, and my life is nothing without you."
"But… I'm a demon! What if I haven't been feeling anything like love… what if love is really an illusion?"
She grabbed his hands and placed them over her heart, he could feel it beating.
"Davis… do you feel my heart beating?"
"Y-yes…"
"It only beats this hard because; I never thought I could be in love with anyone as much as you. I know you won't hurt me, or the others. And even if I'm wrong, the risk is worth taking, knowing I can be with you. Besides, demons feel love too…"
"Demon's… feel love too?" Then it happened, Davis mind drifted to a different time…
"You aren't evil, I know it!"
"Yes… yes, I am. I can know only hate…
A girl that looks a lot like Serena was talking with a unique individual, she had just met him. He was hurting, and she felt like helping him was her only option.
"Then let me try and change your mind." She says to him sweetly, showing a smile of compassion.
"HA! How do you intend on doing that?"
"You may think you're evil and can't feel love; but I think you're wrong. You need someone to love you, and I'm appointing myself that person."
"You… Love me? Are you sane? I'M A DEMON!"
"Yes, but I believe, demon's feel love too." She kissed him on the cheek, and took of back home before her mother began to worry.
All he could do was stare after her, wondering about what she said…
Author's Notes: Yeah, I know another vague flashback, but I assure you it all ties together. Bad news though, as genius as chapter ten is; I won't be able to post it… yet.
My dad confiscated my laptop for a couple months. So, after chapter nine, I might take a break, and work on something till I can get at it. What do you guys think of this so far? And should I go ahead and start posting a bit of Sailor Moon R Revisited? You'll probably have to re-read this a bit later if I do. Anyway, please review. Thanks.
