The Moonless Night

Chapter 10

(Usagi's POV)

It's been nine days since Diamond and Mars showed up, they haven't been back or even sent a monster to attack us. It's been peaceful and the Outers have been teaching me how to control my power. A few days after Luna gave me the broach, I broke it. Luna was shocked when Pluto told her. Pluto said that it broke because my power has grown so strong that I have past being a super sailor scout and I'm now Eternal Sailor Moon. And if my power keeps growing I will become Sailor Cosmos, The Queen of the Stars. The others are training just as hard as I have been with their dueling and sword skills. The Starlights have been teaching me some of the things they know like being as fast as starlight. I'm really proud of myself. I always thought I was just a weak crybaby, but now I'm stronger and I will protect the ones I love!

(Later that day)

I was walking down the hall to go to eat lunch with the others. I really haven't seen much of them these past nine days because everyone is training so hard for the fight with Diamond. I miss the gang and hanging out with them. And I really miss Atem; I haven't even seen him at all in these past nine days. I hope he's doing well. I wish I could see him now, to hear his voice, to have him hold me close to his heart in his arms where I feel safe and protected. But I wish more then anything to hear him tell me he loves me more then the stars in the night sky.

(Atem's POV)

I was in the throne room discussing with my priest and the others how we were going to win this fight with Diamond. It's been a long morning and we really haven't figured out what we're going to do. It's about time to have lunch so tell everyone to go have some food and rest a little before we start discussing this matter later. Everyone bowed and left the room and I sat back in my throne.

"Long day, Pharaoh?" asked Artemis as he sat on the arm of the throne and looked up at me worry in his eyes.

"Yes, and it's only been half of the day. I sighed then rested my head in my hands.

"Is there anything I can do?" Artemis asked as he jumped down.

"No, all I want is to have this whole mess to be over with. So I can hold my little bunny in my arms. I wish I could hear her soft, sweet voice ring in my ears. I miss my bunny." Artemis just grinned up at me.

"I'm sure your bunny is missing her Pharaoh." he said as he was walking out of the room.

"You know you can always ask her yourself." and with that he left the room so I could think on the words he left me with. Ask her myself? Ask her if she missed me? Did she really miss me these past nine days or did she even care if she saw me or not? I was just about to join the others when I saw my bunny turn the corner. I ducked back into the throne room and waited for her to get closer. When she got close enough I grabbed and pulled her into the room with me. She froze when I grabbed her and gave a scared cry when I pulled her into the throne room. She held her breath and slowly looked up with fear in her eyes, but as soon as she saw it was I she sighed.

"Please don't scare me like that." she said as she looked up at me.

"Oh? I scared my bunny? I'm sorry." I said with a smirk as I held her closer. She blushed at the nickname I called her.

"Bunny?" she asked. I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Yes, bunny. Because you're name means bunny." my bunny nodded and blushed redder. I hugged her tighter and rested my head on her shoulder. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"I miss you. I miss seeing your beautiful blue eyes. I miss hearing your soft sweet voice. And I miss your smile that can brighten any dark place." In all words I said I poured my heart out to the woman I was hugging. I love her so much that I don't want to lose her.

"Atem? What are you saying?" she asked.

"I love you and I don't want to lose you." I said looking in her eyes. I think I surprised her. I could tell by her eyes that she was surprised and confused and she wasn't sure what to do. Then suddenly she turned around in my arms, threw her arms around my neck and then she kissed me! I was taken back by the kiss, but not for long and happily kissed back.

"I love you too, Atem!" I was so happy to hear those words.

"Now if you two are all done with the lovely-dovey stuff would you mind joining the others for lunch?" said Bakura with a smug grin. My bunny started to blush bright red and I just glared at him with annoyance.

"Um excuse me." I was unwillingly to let my bunny go, but I did and she left the room.

"Did you really have to show up just then?" I asked with eyebrow raised. Bakura's smug grin grew bigger.

"Why I don't know what you mean?" he said trying to act as if he didn't know.

"I'm sure you don't." I said as I walked out of the room with a small smirk, he followed me out.

"Wait a moment." I stopped and looked at him.

"I think that Diamond guy is going to attack very soon." he said in serious voice.

"How soon?" I asked.

"As soon as night falls, the night of no moon. The moonless night." he said as he was looking at me in all seriousness. I stayed as calm as I could. I turned on my heels and ran down the hall to where the others were. I burst through the doors of the room where everyone was. A few of them jumped and a few of them looked ready to attack in a blink of the eye.

"Isis, I need you to look into the future." I ordered and she nodded.

"How far into the future, my Pharaoh?" she asked with her hand on her necklaces.

"Just to when the night begins." She closed her eyes for a few moments then she suddenly opened her eyes.

"My Pharaoh, they are going to attack tonight!" she said in alarm. Everyone was on their feet and waiting for orders. Usagi walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"We will be ready for them." she said with a small smile. I knew she was scared, but I also knew that she wasn't going to back down from this fight. I nodded to her and looked at everyone. They nodded or smiled in agreement.

"Alright then. This is what we have been training for these past days and we are going to beat Diamond!" everyone cheered and got ready for the fight ahead.

(At nightfall)

The sun was just setting and everyone was as ready as they could be. Usagi was standing right next to me with the Outers standing in front of us. The Starlights were next to them ready for the first monster to show its face. The others were gathered around Usagi and myself. As soon as the sun was down they attacked. Everyone fought back and we were winning then Diamond and Sailor Mars appeared. I stepped out in front of everyone and glared at Diamond.

"Diamond, I challenge you to a duel!" I demanded and he glared at me then he looked next to me.

(Usagi's POV)

As Atem challenged Diamond I walked up next to him. I looked at Mars then to Diamond who was looking at me. Atem gave me a worried look, but I gave a small smile. Diamond accepted the challenge and sent his strongest monster at Atem. Atem pushed me out of the way and summoned his monster and as their monsters attack each other they did the same. The others were fighting Rubeus, Emerald, Sapphire, and their monsters. Mars stood right in front of me with a smug smirk.

"What are you going to do now, little princess?" she asked me mockingly. I stood my ground stared her down.

"Sailor Mars, you said that we would have to fight each other someday. And now that day has come."

Please review and I'm sorry for the long wait, but i got no reviews for the last chapter I put up so I thought no one like that chapter. I hope people did like it and this chapter. This is the first of the last two chapters.
