A/N: It's about time I started to get to the plot! Sorry for those of you who are aggravated that I haven't really gotten to the fighting stuff yet. And go figure, you all put it in e-mails so that it couldn't be seen. **dodges rotten fruit** Sheesh! Calm down it was a joke! ^_^' Anyway, on with the plot. Once more, I'm very sorry to disappoint all you Hiiro fans.

The two women embraced one another. Tears streamed down Usagi's cheeks as Luna gently rubbed her back. Luna held back the tears, looking over Usagi's head to the three people in the room. Catherine smiled, leaning her head on Artemis' arm. All her mother had been able to talk about in the two years they had been together was how much she missed Usagi. It was good to see them together once more. Trowa crossed his arms over his chest, smiling as well. Makoto would have been right in there crying if she had been around. At first he had blamed Usagi for his sister's death. But after a year he had come to understand that she hadn't had a choice.

"I missed you so much. I thought you were dead. How did you survive?" Luna led her to a couch, handing her a tissue.

"Queen Selenity gave us another chance. She told us that in a few years you would be arriving and that we were to help you." Usagi's eyes shut for a moment as she thought.

"I understand now." She looked over at Artemis. "I'm princess Serenity. I'm the one the Senshi were fighting to protect. I was the heir to the throne. Mother sent me here to give me a chance at leading a normal life. But what of Endymion?" Luna shook her head.

"He was not meant to be with you in that time Serenity. Your mother made a mistake. True, you were to rule Neo Crystal Tokyo and have a daughter. But it wasn't to be with Endymion and it wasn't supposed to be Chibi Usa."

"Then who was it supposed to be?" Gently she smiled, shaking her head while brushing a piece of Usagi's hair behind her ear.

"I don't know. I'm guessing that's why your mother sent you here, to find out."

"So, you mean to tell me that there's more to my past than mother told me?" Artemis took a seat next to Usagi as well.

"There's much more. You see, she didn't want you to wander the galaxy so she altered your memories to the circumstances. When Setsuna tried to erase your meeting with Chaos she didn't know the extent of her mind altercations. Now little by little you're going to remember the people and events of the past the way they were meant to be."

"Alright. Tell me this, what connection does Wufei have to my past?" Trowa grinned.

"He's your guardian as well as myself and Duo."

"But how? I understand you were because you were Makoto's brother and Shinigami was because he was Hotaru's brother as well."

"Wufei is actually Rae's brother and your cousin." Usagi's jaw dropped.

"What!" Catherine, Trowa and Artemis chuckled. "There is no way!"

"It's true Serenity-hime. There is still much to be known yet your mother made it clear that we weren't to tell you. So now that we're late to breakfast I suggest we get going." The small group headed towards the door.

"But what about, you know, your appearance? Won't they ask questions?"

"No, I've already introduced Luna and Catherine. Everything is fine." Artemis led the way down the hall. Pouting Usagi followed.

"I'm always the last to know." Catherine laughed and placed an arm around her shoulders.

"You'll never change Hime." Looking up at Catherine her eyes widened.

"Diana?" A childish giggle escaped her.

"Shh. Mother and father gave me this body so that I would fit in. Isn't it great?" Nodding numbly Usagi continued to the kitchen. The smell of bacon and pancakes filled her senses and her stomach growled ferociously.

"Meet you guys there!" With that she took off, leaving a trail of dust behind her. Luna laughed light heartedly.

"She never will change, no matter how many centuries she lives through." Artemis and Trowa nodded in agreement. Upon reaching the kitchen they saw a very comical sight.

Usagi was sitting on top of a very disgruntled Duo while munching on bacon. He had his head propped in his left hand while his fingers drummed rhythmically on the marble tiles of the kitchen floor. Quatre sighed while cooking up some more bacon. Wufei sat at the table with a section of the newspaper, smirking behind the print. Hiiro just stared at the scene without expression, as always. Walking over to the table everyone took a seat, eagerly awaiting their breakfast. Every once in a while Duo would make a move to snatch a piece of bacon Usagi would bounce on him, making him huff as the air was forced out of his lungs. Then he'd resort to tapping once more. When she was down to the last piece she leaned over in front of him, placing it on his lips. Trowa and Wufei watched her, the other were too busy with the paper or conversing amongst themselves to notice.

"Open up Duo-chan." Glancing up at her Duo took the bacon as she fed it to him. When he was done he captured her fingers in his mouth, earning an innocent giggle from her.

"You don't taste so bad babe." Patting the top of his head she stood up and placed the plate in the sink. Duo stood up, grinning from ear to ear. "Hey, Usa-chan?" She turned around to smile at him.

"Yes Duo-ch…" She was cut off as a wave of syrup covered her head.

Duo snickered, trying not to laugh but failed completely. Wufei burst out laughing, nearly falling out of his chair. Hiiro raised an eyebrow while Trowa smirked. Luna, Artemis and Catherine burst into laugher. The only one who didn't find it funny was Quatre.  He came up to Duo with the metal spatula and smacked Duo in the back of the head and the middle of his back. Duo, Trowa, Luna and Catherine gasped as Quatre scowled at Duo. Wufei burst into laughter as Duo cringed. When Quatre got mad it was for a reason and his temper was fearful.

"Do that again and I'll have your head Duo." Usagi hugged Quatre, kissing his cheek.

"See, Apollo-chan always protects me!" Her head cocked to the side when she finished her statement and all laughter stopped. Artemis and Luna stared at her while Quatre slowly paled.

"What did you call me?" She looked at Quatre, innocent confusion in her eyes. Quietly she repeated the name, her eyebrows furrowing.

"I remember you now. You're my…" Her eyes widened in surprise and joy. "Oh my gosh! Apollo! I can't believe this!" She hugged him tighter, knocking him to the floor. The group chuckled slightly, watching as Quatre turned purple then a slight shade of blue.

"Uhn…Usa-gi…can't…uhn…breathe…!" Usagi released him, watching as he took a deep breath and began to retain his normally pale complexion.

"I'm sorry Q-chan." Rubbing his neck Quatre smiled politely and stood up.

"It's ok Usa-chan. I forgot how enthusiastic you could be." Smiling he held up a platter of pancakes while Usagi grabbed the bacon and the eggs. "Breakfast is served." Mumbling of approval spread across the room as everyone dug into their food. Usagi shoveled in the food as if she hadn't eaten in years. Her speed rivaled that of even Duo. When she was done she placed her dishes in the sink and kissed Quatre on the cheek.

"Thanks for breakfast Q-chan." Going up to Luna and Artemis she gave them both a kiss on the cheek. "I'm going to explore. This place is huge." And with that she was off. Duo stood quickly, dumping his dishes in the sink before running after her.

"I think Duo's got a crush." Catherine giggled, stuffing her face with eggs. No one noticed the scowl that crossed Hiiro's features. Wufei smiled inwardly, holding up his paper while biting into a strip of bacon. Quatre smiled and looked at Luna and Artemis who returned his gaze.

Duo ran through the halls, wondering how she could have disappeared so fast. It wasn't until he heard the soft squeak of her flip-flops that he knew she was near. Deciding to sneak up on her he hid in the shadows that the morning sun was casting in the hall. He caught sight of her staring at the stained glass cathedral windows that Quatre had installed a few years ago. When he was directly behind her and ready to cover her eyes she startled him by turning around, causing him to fall back. She burst into giggles as he rubbed his side.

"Man, you'll always be the smarted one when it comes to battle tactics Usa-chan." When he stood up she wrapped her arms around him, startling him.

"You never could sneak up on me Shin." Tentatively he placed his arms around her in return. "I'm sorry for getting mad yesterday. I was frustrated about not knowing my past. Now that it's coming back little by little I'm getting happier. And it's because I'm remembering the things I never could before."

"Like what?" She smiled, burying her face in his chest.

"Our first kiss." His eyes widened slightly.

~Flashback~

Princess Serenity slipped around the corner and into the shadows. After much time and effort she had managed to escape the ball and Prince Endymion. That guy never knew when to give up. Sighing she began to slink down the darkened corridors of the Moon Palace. She knew the hidden corridors to her home like the back of her hand. Stumbling over the edge of her gown she frowned, bringing up the edge to see she had torn the hem.

"Mother is going to kill me." Leaning against the wall she allowed the light of the Earth to bathe her.

"I'll say. You are one of the biggest klutzes around." Turning sharply to her left she saw a dark figure leaning against the wall, his scythe propped up next to him.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out dancing with Princess Minako or Ami?" He smirked coming forward into the light. Serenity took a step back as he neared her, almost afraid of him. How come she suddenly found herself thinking that he was one of the most handsome men she had ever met? Gulping she stared into his violet eyes.

"No, I'm right where I'm supposed to be." Holding out his hand he waited for her to respond. "I won't bite Serenity." His smile is what convinced her to take his hand. The faint sounds of the orchestra drifted through the open windows, giving them a rhythm to dance to. Serenity found her heart beating irregularly fast as he gradually pulled her closer.

"Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" Shinigami stopped moving, gazing down at her face. She was stunning.

"I think I'm falling in love with you." Serenity began to close her eyes as he moved closer to her. When his lips touched hers she felt like melting. Either that or her heart would pop out of her chest. Gently he held her, allowing himself to deepen the kiss. To his surprise she didn't hold back. Sighing into the kiss he pulled her against him, noticing that their bodies fit together perfectly. When they broke apart for air she placed her head on his shoulder, holding him.

"This is forbidden. You are the Senshi of Death and I of Life. It would never work." Gently he turned her face to his and she saw the passion in them.

"I'm willing to make it work." With that they entered another soul searing kiss, the sounds of the orchestra drifting past their deaf ears.

~End Flashback~

Usagi stared at Duo as he stroked her cheek. Suddenly he leaned forward and duplicated the heart-wrenching kiss that he had given her on the moon. Without hesitation she kissed him back, allowing her arms to snake around his neck. When she was able to look into his eyes once more she saw the same passion that had been there all those years ago.

"I was so afraid that you wouldn't remember." Usagi pulled herself closer to him, brushing her lips over his,

"How could I forget about my only love?" She sealed her words with another kiss, failing to notice the tears that were coursing down his cheeks. She would never truly know how much those words affected him. He loved so much he was willing to relinquish his duties for her. Yet neither of them noticed the shadow creature make its way down the hall.
