Chapter ten the final battle

Christmas eve and Serena still couldn't decide on a gift for Sesshomaru! She had been to almost every store around but always turned up with nothing.

"Aghhhh! what am I going to do?!" People stared at her as she ranted to herself. "What am I supposed to get a guy who hasn't told me what he likes since he was in his early teens?!"

Finally she stopped in front of a shop and looked through the window. There on a shelf in a pretty display was a pendant with a hand carved moon on it.

Walking into the shop she bought the pendant and walked out, but was still very worried. "Ohhh what if he doesn't like it? I mean it's not like we're actually really a couple." "What am I saying anything will be fine even this."

Serena quickly ran down the sidewalk to get to her apartment where they were going to have a Christmas party with everyone.

Unknown to Serena Sesshomaru was having a similar problem.

"Hmmmm what would she like?" "I know she likes roses, bunnies, fluffy stuffed toys, and such but what would be a good present?"

He went into a store and with him was Rini. "Just what am I supposed to get her?"

"Daddy, look look!" Said Rini pulling onto the lords clothes. She was pointing at a pretty diadem that had a moon in the center.

Turns out it was rather cheap so he was able to buy it with some money left over.

Getting back to the apartment Rini was skipping along happily when she collapsed. "Rini!" Exclaimed Sesshomaru holding her in his arms. He tried waking her but to no avail.

Finally carrying her inside he found a similar scene. Rin and Chibi Chibi were also in deep sleep and would not awake.

"What am I going to do!?" Exclaimed Serena choking on a sob.

Wrapping an arm around her Sesshomaru pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, we'll save them. He said soothingly.

Soon the other scouts arrived with similar accounts of people falling asleep all about town.

"It must be the mistress of sleep." Said Raye.

"Ha ha, you are certainly correct mars." Said the mistress of sleep giddily from seemingly nowhere. "As I said, I will take everything you hold dear princess." "Just come and meet me at the radio tower, from there you'll be telaported to my ship!" No one could see her all they could do was listen.

"Serena you don't have to do this alone. Said Amara placing her hand on Serena's shoulder.

"I know I don't have to but, but I don't want anyone else getting hurt protecting me!" She exclaimed sinking to the ground.

Sesshomaru knelt next to her and enveloped her into a hug. "You don't have to worry, we all love and care for you so much that we won't let anything happen.

"Yeah we just met what would the point be in dying so soon!" Kagome added in cheerfully.

"Thank you but, I won't let you!" She jumped out of Sesshomaru's grip and stunned everyone with a flash of light.

She started running down the street towards the radio tower. "I refuse for events to repeat themselves." "I won't let it happen again, I won't!"

Finally at the radio tower she transformed into sailor moon and started flying to the top with her wings. When spears started to assault her.

"Hey she's playing dirty!" As she avoided several of the spears another came up and grazed her side. Finally at the top of the tower she took a warriors stance summoning her wand and turned it into a staff.

"So you actually showed up little princess." Said a voice in the air.

"Show yourself!"

"Boo." Sailor moon jumped at the voice in her ear and saw the mistress of sleep standing next to her. She wore a long purple gown and had long pistachio colored hair. "This won't do, we must even the odds.

With a snap of the fingers Serena was dressed as Princess Serenity in a long white dress with gold trim at the top around her bosom. And her staff was replaced with a sword.

"What is this sword?" She asked.

"I actually don't no, I didn't give it to you." Was the reply. Circling around her she gasped. "That's Prince Endymion's sword!"

Looking down Serenity saw that indeed it was his sword. "Well enough of that it's time for the final battle don't you agree?" Asked Sleep with a strange smile on her face.

"Deal, but what are the stakes?" Serenity replied.

"If you win, I won't hurt your friends or your precious planet, and I'll leave without ever returning." "But if I win you will serve me forever as my slave and I rule your world, oh and as insurance I'm going to keep your friends here to watch.

Suddenly all the scouts, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome appeared all trapped in glass cases that they couldn't escape from.

"I'll fight you just don't hurt them!" Serenity exclaimed. She was close to tears now, she didn't want them to get hurt.

"Calm yourself I won't hurt them let's just fight." A sword appeared in her hand as well and they charged.

As they fought Serenity kept seeing images of two years ago. She could still see her wedding day and everyone was so happy. Darien and hers first night together was beautiful and a dream come true. She wasn't going to let this person damage her beautiful future.

"I won't let you win!" She charged with greater force and struck a blow that caused Sleep to waver for a moment.

"For my future, my daughters, my friends, the man I love, and especially for this entire world!" As the swords collided it looked like she was going to win until sleep hit her with a dark energy ball.

"HA! Don't make me laugh, with that pitiful power you'll never win against me." She started beating Serenity back until she was thrown against a wall. "Now you must see you'll never beat me I've won."

Serenity blacked out.

"Serenity, Serenity my love."

"Huh, who's that voice?" As Serenity looked around in her dream world someone came towards her. "Endymion!"

She rushed into his arms sobbing.

"Serenity I missed you but this is very important."

"What is it?" She asked wiping away her tears and looking into his eyes.

"It's time for you to become Cosmos and destroy the darkness I lended you my power through my sword now you must triumph."

"I understand."

Joining their souls together Serenity got up off the ground and was enveloped by light. When it finally faded she had silver hair and wore a new sailor suit that was white and had a cape. She also held a staff in her hand.

"I am sailor cosmos and in the name of the universe I shall destroy you!"

"We shall see." Said Sleep. She looked slightly worried but charged nonetheless.

As they collided her staff or teir turned into a sword and they fought. Finally it was Serenity who forced Sleep into a corer and with one final blow dusted her. Feeling all her energy drained she blacked out.

Reawakening in her apartment Sesshomaru was by her side reading a book. Seeing her stir he looked into her eyes worriedly.

"I'm fine." Serena said. Suddenly realization hit her and she sat up quickly. "What day is it?"

"It's the first of January." He replied.

"Oohhh, leaning over the bed she rummaged through her side dresser drawer and took out a package. "Here it was meant for your Christmas present."

He took it and took out his present which he put in her lap. After unwrapping the medallion he looked at her blushing face. "I have a question for you my princess." He said making her blush even redder.

"Yes?"

"Will you spend the rest of eternity with me?" He asked taking her hand in his. He withdrew his hand and unwrapped her present. Taking out the diadem he placed it on her head.

With tears running down her face Serena jumped into his arms. "Yes, oh yes yes I will."

Looking into her eyes Sesshomaru leaned down into a kiss. A sweet kiss that would last for eternity.
