Her feet hurried down the hall as excitement tore within her chest. She could hear the transport setting its brakes to complete landing and she spun around the corner. She broke out into a run and watched as the door lowered and a figure appeared. He saw her instantly and dropped his bags and rushed out. His arms opened and she flew into them, her legs wrapping around him happily as she buried her face in his neck.

"I have something for you," his voice said softly into her ear and she felt a smile lift her lips. She pulled back, the emotion on her face beaming at him.

"You better," she smiled and he grinned, leaning forward to capture her lips lovingly.

"General Jedite is here Lady Mars," Artemis said a bit annoyed as he stared at the couple. Mars grinned, her eyes not leaving her loves.

"Thanks," she whispered and the tall man smirked looking back at the transport

and ordering the generals' bags off and to his quarters. Jedite looked over to him and blinked taking in the long white hair and the bright blue eyes.

"Glad to see you aren't a cat anymore," he mused with a sly grin and Artemis smirked a bit at him.

"Magic is a marvel," he mumbled with a bow as he left the two. Rei turned his face to hers and she smiled happily at him.

"How's next week?" She questioned and his eyes lit up. She felt him shift and than held a sparkling red ruby before her. She smiled at him happily looking at it than back at him, her teeth nibbling on her bottom lip.

"Perfect," he whispered, his lips diving for hers and she met him hungrily, his hand gently slipping the ring on her finger. She pulled away and he protested moving towards her.

"We need to get you ready," she breathed against his lips and he pulled back to look at her.

"Ready love?" He questioned and she nodded, her eyes bright with love for him.

"For you to be a general again," she whispered, cupping his face and he gulped and felt his knees go weak a bit. Her arms wrapped around him, climbing out of his arms to help support him.

"Zoi will be here shortly and Nephrite is already here. Kunzite might be awhile but… Endymion is waiting for you," she began to report, emotion welling within her as she took in his broken features.

"I feel them…" He whispered and she smiled pushing a strand of blonde hair out of his eyes.

"Welcome home baby," Mars breathed sweetly and his arms wrapped tightly around her… he needed her stability as Nephrite answered his mental probe. His brother… he hadn't heard from them for over three hundred years and feeling his signature once more was a bit overwhelming. But the best kind of overwhelming he could ever experience… it had taken thousands of years but… life was finally perfect. He kissed his love's forehead.

"Let's go," he breathed and she grinned at him.
