Serenity ran towards him. He embraced her body to his and twirled her around in happiness. He set her down and they kissed, as if they hadn't seen each other in forever! They stopped and stared for only a moment, before both of them smiled and began to walk towards the cottage.

Endymion had his arm around Serenity, as she hugged his waist. Lita and Rei still stood on the steps, watching in loving awe. Rei put her hands behind her back and smiled.

"Seems you two have missed each other, have you not?"

Serenity could only smile her brightest as she heard Edymion chuckle above her.

"I see nothing escapes your eye, fire goddess." Rei giggled at the nickname and went inside. Endymion quickly stopped in his tracks and looked at the girl before him. She looked almost identical to Serenity, which gave him a great shock. He took his arm off of Serenity and kneeled before her.

"Princess Mina, I dare ask, you are alive?" Mina only giggled and smiled.

"Why are you so formal? We are in a cottage. No formalities here!"

Endymion stood up and grabbed her hand, only to kiss it with ease. He spoke to her in seriousness.

"You have no idea what he goes through every night." Mina giggled again, much to Endymion's confusion.

"Now that you are witness to my health, let us pray he recovers as I have."

They all made their way inside and sat comfortably. Rei handing out a fresh cup of tea to everyone. When she handed one to Endymion, he only arched his brow and stared at her, causing every one to laugh abruptly. Rei had apologized and sat like everyone else.

They spoke of politics. Endymion would give them news on the other planet's doings' since the princess' disappearance. He also spoke of their betroval's and what they were doing now. Out of nowhere, curiously, Rei spoke to Serenity.

"Serenity, who was assigned as your betroval?" Every one watched, eager for her answer, even Endymion. She looked down and fidgeted with her fingers.

"Well…my mother and Artemis told me it was…" She really didn't want Mina to know.

"Prince Andrew, of Venus." Mina almost dropped her cup and just stared at Serenity, then to Endymion.

Endymion nodded his head, as if he was thinking of what to say next. Mina only sighed and placed her cup on the table, her hands beginning to tremble.

"My…my brother?" Lita looked around, not following.

"So what's wrong with it? Tis not like she is still at the castle or anything."

Endymion stood and paced around the small cottage. "When is he to arrive?"

"Um…Tomorrow." Mina painfully stood, horror in her eyes.

"Oh my Gods…" The other princess stared in bewilderment. Rei speaking first.

"He cannot be that bad. He did not even kill Malachite." Mina turned to Endymion.

"Endymion…you've seen my brother. You know the way he is when angered."

Endymion only nodded his head and placed his hands on his hips.

"This makes a predicament, a grand one." Mina tried to focus.

"If he finds out Serenity left…to come HERE…he'll…oh my!"

Amy soothed Mina's back as she helped her sit down. Serenity carefully stood, not understanding.

"He cannot be all terrible. I know Andrew, I met him before Mina. He-"

Mina gasped and covered her mouth in shock and everyone turned to her. She glanced to everyone, then set her eyes to Endymion.

"This was planned." She shook her head. "I know it was!" Endymion kneeled before her.

"What? What do you speak of?" Every one was at Mina's side, coaxing her to continue.

"This marriage. It has to of been!" She looked at Endymion's serious eyes.

"Our power, Venus power, is but a strong and powerful light." Endymion only nodded.

"Serenity's power is but of the same, only more powerful, she could demolish the whole universe if she wished."

Rei and Lita sat down, the cold realization hitting them with full force.

"If Serenity, on her own, would attack your kingdom, she would succeed without a bead of sweat on her brow."

Serenity backed herself into a wall, slightly angered. "I would never!" Mina only continued.

"You wouldn't. But my brother would. Don't you see? With the joining of your body and his, your powers would combine as one. He being a male, would dominate you of your powers."

Amy put her hand to her chest as she tried to breathe.

"He would waste no time in coming here to destroy this Kingdom. He'd do it out of pure hatred."

Serenity leaned against the wall, the information dawning on her heart as it sank. Mina began to weep.

"So you see…if he finds that Serenity's gone, he'll know that she's here. He'll come here with a vengeance."

Endymion stood slowly, unable to believe reality. He turned to Serenity. She was leaning on the wall, weeping as well, shaking her head.

"No…this cannot be…I'm not capable of such power…!"

She lifted her head and noticed everyone staring at her, even Endymion. She looked away quickly, not wanting them to see her face.

'How can this be!'

The room was quiet. No one said a word as they tried to comprehend the situation.

Luna paced the palace walls with worry.

She had went to look for Serenity when the Queen had dismissed them. She only found her room empty.

'Where do you run, girl!'

She kept walking when out of nowhere, her arm was grabbed and she was pulled into a room. Luna twirled as the person let her go, hearing the click of a lock. She turned to face her sudden kidnapper and was met by soft lips smashing on her own. A hand at her back, another massaging her breasts' firmly.

Luna put her arms on his chest and pushed him away harshly into the shadowed corner.

"Are you mad, Artemis!"

His brilliant white hair and skin glowed as he stepped out of the shadows. He placed his finger on his lips and smiled.

"Hush my dark kitten. Will you announce the palace of your arrival in my chambers?"

Luna blushed and turned around, walking towards one of the windows in his room. He caught her waist and pulled her back to him, turning her around and filling her mouth with his kisses.

Luna tried to get him off of her, but he wouldn't budge. He walked her towards his bed, his mouth never her lips. Luna squealed in his mouth as she felt her body fall back and land on the soft bed. Artemis kept his hold on her, his hand lifting her leg and brushing the dress off of it. His hand roamed her luscious leg as he made his way to her crotch.

Instantly, underneath all the layer of clothing, he massaged her, hearing her moan with his every touch. She didn't fight him anymore, instead she gripped his long hair and hugged him tighter to her body. He felt her leg rise more as he took his hand and began to pinch one of her breasts'.

Luna's leg rose and wrapped it around his waist, making him get more comfortable in between her thighs.

Artemis rolled over, taking her with him. Luna was above him now, and Artemis held her at the waist to sit on his pelvis. She gasped with surprise, his already erection teasing her warming sex. He sat up, arching her down so that he could suckle her neck and take off her dress by the many buttons that she had on her back.

Her dress became loose, giving him more access to her breasts'. He nibbled on her cleavage line while his hands worked there magik on the back of her dress. Luna slowly rocked herself on him, hearing him grunt and groan every now and then. She could feel her dress almost off now, he was half way.

A thought struck her, quickly remembering how she ended up in his room. She pushed him back onto the bed roughly and got off of him, quickly getting off the bed too. Artemis laid stunned. Why had she done that? He sat up and watched as Luna fumbled with her dress, trying to cover herself.

"I hope you have a valid reason for such an outburst." Luna glared at him.

"You fool! She's gone!" Artemis got off the bed and straightened himself.

"I assume you think I know whom you are talking about?" Luna was going crazy.

"Serenity, she's not in her room, nor in the palace!" Artemis double looked at her.

"That's nonsense." Luna marched up to him.

"I checked for myself. She's gone Artemis, and to where I know not."

Luna walked over to the bed and sat, saddened and worried. Artemis only shook his head and kneeled before her, rubbing her knees with gentle ease.

"You needn't worry so much, my kitten" Luna looked at him, her eyes beginning to water.

"What if she left to the forest again? Who knows what lurks inside, with this time and age." Artemis half smiled.

"I have a contact. She said that Serenity is alright, and will arrive later on before dawn."

Luna was confused. "How? Who is this person?"

Artemis only grinned with mischief. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her just a bit towards the edge of the bed. Snaking his hands underneath her dress, he lifted her thighs just as Luna was slowly lowered onto the bed. She heard him tear something and quickly lifted herself with her elbows.

"Artemis! This is no time for-" Artemis smirked at her before lowering himself in between her thighs.

"Trust me kitten. There is plenty of time."

Luna suddenly fell back on the bed, feeling his tongue swirl around inside of her.

Endymion walked with Serenity towards her castle. He had flown most of the way, opting for a short walk before they departed once again. They had reached the walls of her palace in short timing.

Serenity didn't face him, she had kept her head low the whole way back. Endymion cupped her cheek with his hand as he lifted her face to meet his gaze.

"Don't be so sad princess. All will be well." Serenity's brows rose and her lips trembled.

"No…they will not."

Endymion wiped her tears and hugged her tightly, wishing their love had a better chance of surviving than to go though all this turmoil.

"Shh…No one can take you away from me, Serenity." She sighed and looked up at him.

"And you from me, Endymion."

Their faces met with a strong and powerful kiss, holding on to each other tightly. Their tongues soon found themselves as they danced together in their mouths. Without either of them noticing, he stopped kissing her and went towards her neck. He nibbled and kissed his way down to her showing cleavage. Serenity was breathing deeply and steadily. She began to kiss his neck and wrap her fingers in his hair. His hand on her back, he pushed her to his body, wanting to be closer to her than ever before.

Serenity had her eyes closed, blissfully enjoying their closeness. Endymion could feel his instincts begin to kick in as he left her revealing cleavage and kissed her roughly on the lips. Serenity kissed him just as rough, her hand in his hair gripping him tighter.

Endymion quickly let her go, his hands on her shoulders, both of them taking deep breaths. He shook his head as he chuckled.

"You're going to be the end of me, princess." She giggled lightly and cupped his face with her hand.

"Then let us pray we can share more moments such as this more often."

She kissed him one last time and began to walk away. Endymion shook his head, his hands on his hips.

"You sound just like Princess Mina." Serenity giggled and glanced back.

"Of course, we are like one, she and I."

He watched as she made her way inside the secret passage and disappear. He jumped in a near by tree and waited for to emerge in her bedroom window.

Serenity managed to run inside unnoticed. She made it in her room and managed to take off the hideous dress she was wearing and changed into a night gown. She then ran to her bed and jumped on it, opening her curtains as she scanned the area below.

She saw him, a twinkle in his eye as he grinned at her, then disappeared into the darkness of the forest. She closed her curtains, wondering if any one had known her where about's. She tucked her self into bed and prayed the next day would never come.

Artemis was staring out his window, noticing a blur of a figure in the forest, but only for a moment. He quickly dressed and went to his door. Before leaving his room, he turned to the bed. Luna was silently sleeping, only stirring for a moment. He smiled and walked out quietly, closing the door behind him.

He walked around the palace for about five minutes, making it oblivious to where he was going.

He came upon the door and knocked lightly. He didn't even hear a noise come from it. He carefully opened the door and saw that Serenity was indeed in her bed, sound asleep.

He closed the door and proceeded to walk back to his chambers.

'She was right, just as predicted.'
