Here's the update! I'm so sleepy right now but I've been think of this prompt for the longest. And I have also decided to add just a few OCs but not too many to where they have no purpose. All OCs will either contribute or not to the uh...subtle "problem" ;) I figure just a few won't be a problem at all cx Today's chapter is also long. These just keep getting longer and longer. I'm also coming up with a legit summary. Since I have a 3 day weekend, I should be able to get the next chapter out tomorrow. Don't quote me on that.

Sunlight Halation: Oh but Zirconia is more than likely not going to stop. And Cousin V (Venus) would've done some serious damage. Can't get between a...uh...Messiah of Love and her wedding planning. Kunzite would be smart not to tell her what happened at the meeting lol

The moment the meeting ended Helios left and went to find Black Lady. Furious couldn't describe how he felt. Killing was one thing when there was a reason for an execution. But killing Black Lady for just existing? It was the most inhumane thing the council spoke thus far. She had done nothing wrong. Luckily for him he had the authority to shut the Millennium Council up when he wanted—in fact his mother argued again and put forth his same thoughts. They lived in an era of peace and by Selene and the holiest gods, Neo Queen Serenity wanted to keep it. He couldn't agree more.

Yes, they can dislike each other and show displeasure to another country or empire. However war hadn't dawned the lands for centuries after his mother took the throne. She was truly the Messiah of Peace. Turning a corner he spotted Diana speaking with her mother, Luna, and another feline, Bast.

Bast was an interesting feline. She came from the same distant planet as Artemis and Luna, Mau, home of the humanoid felines. Supposedly she is an advisor of Mau, the Priestess of Mau, sent to observe the Millennium Kingdoms. For what purpose? Helios didn't have a clue. Said feline glanced his way and watched his every movement.

Bast remained a mystery. She was quiet and silent, had the obscure grey eyes of the wise, and the daunting tribal crest present on her forehead. It didn't make him feel better that she took the form of a white lioness. A sign she was dangerous given the chance. Helios frowned. Having asked his mother about the cat before, Neo Queen Serenity only gave him one answer: Bast means no harm. She is simply observing.

Observing what was the question.

Luna's aqua blue eyes pierced his soul, "Your Highness, is there something you need?" Luna asked. "Oh and I've heard news of your future bride, congratulations."

"Thank you," he spoke softly. "What were you discussing?"

Diana cocked her head, "The Black Princess of course. Bast has taken quite a liking to her."

Bast simply nodded her head, "Your bride. The Whisperers have told me her secrets. She is dangerous, Prince. Beware." Bast stated. "However there may be hope."

Whisperers? Dangerous? Helios scowled, "She is not dangerous."

"The Whisperers do not lie. We felines only hear our ancestors concern," Bast cocked her head and her eyes darkened. "If you are looking for the lady then she has gone with Lady Usagi to the outside gardens."

Chills ran down his back, "Thank you…" he mumbled. Bast freaked him out more than that mouse girl, Tin Nyanko (he was glad to hear she went back to Mau.) Sighing he left the feline group alone and went to see Black Lady.

The afternoon sunlight showered over the palace guardians. Beautiful exotic flowering species from the moon and the far reaches of the universe sprouted upwards. Some were gem flowers from Queen Galaxia's home planet and others as gifts from neighboring systems. Helios always found peace here. He even had a secret spot he would go to and take naps, read or just stare up at the sky.

Helios skimmed over the garden spotting two pink haired ladies sitting on a stone bench and laughing about something. Seems they are getting along he thought approaching them. His sister held a rare creature known as a Silverblood Rabbit; the name came from the silver crescent on their left or right paw (mostly the left) and the silver eyes they bore. His sister loved them and perhaps maybe even Black Lady as well.

"Don't tell him I told you that," Lady Serenity said.

"Tell me what?" Helios narrowed his eyes. Lady Serenity and Black Lady jumped causing the bunny to squirm. Serenity it back down then spread a cheesy smile across her face.

She shook her head, "N-nothing!" She stood up, handed the rabbit to Black Lady and grinned. "I have lesson to attend to, brother. I'll see you at dinner!"

Helios blinked watching his sitter disappear back into the palace, "I wonder what she told you…" he grumbled turning to a blushing Black Lady. A sly smirk spread unnoticeably. He took a seat beside her. Black Lady held the fluffy bunny close.

He leaned closer to her, "You know," he whispered into her ear, making her blush deepened, and twirling a loss hair strand between his fingers. "You're just as adorable as that bunny. The blush isn't making it any better."

She looked away, "Prince Helios, your—"

He scowled at the title; he thought he told her not to do that, "Helios. No formalities needed," he paused for a minute and observed her. She bit her lip. Helios wondered how soft they were.

"Helios…" she whispered. He caressed her cheek as a soft breeze passed by, ruffling their clothing and hair. Her eyes met his and for the once the dull glimmer wasn't there, her eyes brightened and were lovely to look at. His thumb trailed over her bottom lip. He leaned a bit closer, a blush darkened her face. Before their lips could meet, a voice interrupted them.

"Prince Helios," a guard said. "The King requires your presence."

He sighed leaning away and standing up, "I'll see him right away. You're dismissed," he glimpsing back at Black Lady. "Next time we won't be interrupted, my little bunny."

Black Lady's eyes widen. Helios couldn't help showing a smug smile. Ah, how he was enjoying the beautiful princess's company.

Bast is going to be an extremely important character later on if things go to plan for what I want. And we also had some "fluff" between Helios and Black Lady. I'm pretty sure if the guard hadn't interrupted, Black Lady would've been kissed. I wondered how she'll react to that xD I think "Little Bunny" is so going to be his nickname for her. Unless you guys want to come up with a better one. I'm all up for suggestions lol See you in the next chapter and don't forget to leave a review! I love reading them.
