I sat and watched as two of my closest friends walk out with angry expressions. Soon I heard them walk down the many steps of my home. Knowing I was fully alone I let the tears fall. Saying all those horrible things about my princess— my best friend. I didn't want to say it but it had to be done.

Warm arms embraced me. I didn't open my eyes to see who it was, I already knew.

"Crying doesn't suit you, my fire goddess." Jadeite whispered in my ear before kissing my head. "You now have something to report to the royal couple."

I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"I didn't want to do this."

"The damage is already done."

I gave him a small smile before kissing him softly. He pressed us together, deepening the kiss. The kissed filled with our love for each other. I still couldn't help but remember how my soulmate came back to me. Serena was the one that gave me the chance of finding my own true love.


Flashback

One month earlier...

Anger.

One simple word. An emotion that sometimes take over your whole being. I don't remember much, truthfully, it was all hazy from the beginning. What I do remember was Sailor Moon shout to Mercury about fire. The next thing I know, flames consumed me. After the yoma was gone Sailor Moon told the other scouts to leave.

"Mars?" I can hear the worry in her voice. "Are you alright? I saw the fire but I couldn't get to you on time."

Anger boiled inside of me. I don't know where it came from but before I could squander it, it took over.

"Couldn't?! Maybe you let hit me! That's it isn't! Your trying to get rid of me." I watched as the blonde step back in fear. "You never cared about me! This is about you, only YOU! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A SELFISH LITTLE PRINCESS! YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PRINCE. THE CROWN. THE THRONE. THAT SHOULD BE ME! WHERE'S MY MAN! HUH!"

I raised my hand and before I knew it. I slapped her. She stepped backwards in shock. Before she could recoil, I aimed a punch to her face. Not once did she dodge, block, or counter.

She didn't fight back.

"YOU'RE WEAK! NO ONE SHOULD CARE ABOUT YOU! I HATE YOU!"

I did a series of punches, kicks, slaps, and some of my scout attacks. I aimed one last punch when a pair of strong, familiar arms. I struggled against my captor. His voice broke through my anger and hatred filled mind.

"Please calm down Rei." His voice was soothing and calming. My body slowly relaxed by his touch. "You don't want to continue down this road. The princess have done nothing wrong. She didn't betray you. That was all me. I hurt you, I-I killed you. The person you should hate and be mad is me."

Tears fell down my cheeks as I clutched the wet shirt.

"I could never hate you. I'm mad at you, but I could never hate you."

I looked over where Moon is. Tuxedo Mask had covered by his cape but I could see her buns. If I was any other person I would think they were making out but there was a golden glow, that signaled that the prince was doing his job of healing her.

I stood back up. The man still held onto me as if I would start to attack again. I turn to get a good look at him but all familiarity I had with him was gone in a instance.

One look at him and your first thought is those surfer guys from America. Dirty blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes. His outfit consisted of formal General Army suit, black with red lining. My royal birthmark pinned over his left side, a sign only given to the prince of Mars, if and when he becomes part of the army or into Mars royalty. There were no males in my generation in line for the throne. And I was the oldest of 4 daughters. The rest of which were under the marriage age.

For a split second, denial set in but looking at him, I knew. I knew he was who I think he is.

"Jadeite"

It was barely above a whisper but he heard me. A small smile graced his face.

"He goes by Jaden now."

I turn to look at my princess. I gasped at her appearance. Most was healed but but the fading scars are still there and the bruising turned into a disgusting yellow. Guilt swelled up inside of me as I kept looking over her. I saw some burn marks and her outfit was completely destroyed.

"Oh god..." I had no words for what I've done, there's nothing I could that could do to repair the damage I had caused. "My princess... I'm so sorry, I-I —"

"No need to apologize Mars." She spoke in her "royal voice". "We've seen it a mile away. This was bound to happen sooner or later."

"But-"

"No buts Rei."

I dried my tears as I pointed to the not-a-zombie/clone-but-also-not-the-enemy General.

"I guess I should explain." Tuxedo Mask stepped forward. "When Beryl had kidnapped me, I found these crystal that had the abilities to capture souls. The souls were my missing Generals. The ones we were fighting were nothing but clones. Not even their real bodies.

"Serenity used her Crystal to give them a chance for rebirth. Without their souls they would never remember. I found their souls and Serena found Jaden."

I looked over to her. 'How?' I thought.

"Its more like he found me. Jadeite was stolen and I went after the thief. The guy broke into my house and stole some valuables but I only cared about the jewelry box he took from my room. Jadeite and Zoisite were in there. The guy knew what I was after and threw it over the cliff side. Jaden just so happen to be climbing the cliff when I fell over."

"The rest was history." Jaden concluded. "What a surprise it was when I held the crystal and all my memories returned. Sometimes I can't tell this life apart with the past but I try."

He chuckled and picked me up bridal style. I wanted to chuck him but I was too tired. Serena was in the same conditions in Darien's arms.

"Get *yawn* a good night sleep. Thank the gods its a Friday night. No school tomorrow."

I felt Jaden move but I had already drifted off.


End flashback...

I woke up the next morning in my room. If it wasn't for the obnoxious snoring coming from my bedroom floor, I would have thought that it was all a dream. But it wasn't. I really did hurt Serena and Jadei– Jaden had stopped me from going any further.

That same weekend Serena came to with this crazy idea to see just how loyal the rest of the scouts really are. She said the reason for my outburst was because of me thinking that my soulmate was dead. Whose to say the girls won't react the same way.

Mind drifted to the small pink haired girl. Everything about her screamed Serena but what's up with the pink hair, it can't be natural, can it? Serenity's actual hair is of pure silver so maybe that's it.

"Whatcha thinking?"

A cocky grin plastered on his face.

"Is their somebody in Darien's family with pink hair?" I asked. He got his thinking face. Thumb and pointer finger rubbing his chin while his nose cringles. "I'm just wondering."

"I don't know about Darien's family but Queen Gaia had pink hair in her goddess from. If I remember correctly, she said , and I quote ' Direct children of Premortal Gods tend to have the strangest hair colors. Selene is the daughter of children of the premortal god Chonos, titans such as her have strange colors at birth. Others like Endymion and Serenity, their hair change over time.' Since Endymion was half Tarran and half god, his hair changed instead of being born with it."

"The queen of earth had pink hair?"

"Didn't just say that?"

"Sorry, " I quickly apologized. "You kinda over explained."

"Oh"

I smiled at him. He may have recently discovered who he was but in truth he's still the same.

"Don't you have school tomorrow?"

He shook his head, indicating a no.

"Well I do! Go to to sleep."

"Maybe when we're married we'll have a kid."

I stilled at his comment. Serena just finds out she might have her future kid here but I don't think I'm ready to be a mother.

"We're still kids ourselves. We'll talk about when we're ready Jaden."

"... Night."

I waited till I heard soft even snores.

"Night Jadeite."

Next morning...

Jaden was gone by the time I got up but that's OK. I don't think my grandfather would be able to handle a heart attack of seeing his sixteen year old with a nineteen year old, in her bed. I did my morning rituals and made sure I was completely ready for my day.

DING!

My phone buzzed signaling a text.

It was Serena.

'Gotta talk 2u. B my skool! XD'

She texted in English again but I don't mind. She only does that with us since we supposedly know all languages. At least that's what Luna told us. I don't know why but I had a bad feeling about today. So I texted her back.

'Where r u'

It buzzed in reply.

'At Darien's. Heading out now'

I left the temple after that. This gave me time to think.

'The scout probably hate me and never be my friends again'. They'll say I'm not worth anything like those bullies at my school. 'No!' How could I think that. Serena said she'll explain everything and I trust her to tell the truth.

I rubbed the tears from eyes before they fell.

I noticed Serena head towards me with a smirk plastered on her face.

"It worked." She chuckled. "A little too well I might add. Lita is sporting a nice red print on her face."

My eyes widen upon the news. Who hit her? Were they out of their mind.

"Mina is also sporting a cute little kunzite necklace."

I smiled, along with Serena. Mina would in quite a surprise if she ever met Kunzite's reincarnation.

"Rei!"

Three angry voices yelled behindy blond friend. The anger laced in their voices made me flinch and hide behind the princess. How shameful of me that I have to hide behind the person I'm supposed to protect for protection.

"Girls." She stopped their advance. "Let me explain all of this."

Which she did. They glared at me through the explanation, I would too if I were them. In the end we all prove to her that we were loyal to her. She produced to gems from nowhere, aka her subspace. I immediately recognize them as our two missing generals, Nephrite and Zoisite. One day they'll find the guys I just hope it's after our newest enemy.
