Within a few days Mayu was released from the hospital and everything seemed to be back to normal except for her hair.

"I miss my blonde hair," she whined as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail.

"At least it's manageable again," Takashi teased as he looked down at all the hair he had to cut off. Mayu pouted at him and crossed her arms. He laughed and pulled her close to him. "Now you look nothing like my sister," he whispered. Mayu blushed as she felt her heart race.

"You smell like vanilla," she whispered and closed her eyes.

"It's a smell the princess in you likes," he whispered back. "Do you like when I'm this close to you?" He teased. He leaned in a bit closer to her. Mayu felt her face grow hot. Her heart pounded like she had just run ten miles and her lips tingled. They longed to feel his lips against them. She leaned in closer to him and quivered. He placed his hand in the small of her back and planted a kiss on her lips. This time it was different than the others. This kiss was gentle, but passionate. As he kissed her he ran his fingers up her spine causing her to shiver. Mayu turned her face away from him breaking the kiss. Immediately the man from the hospital burst into the room. Mayu jumped back from Takashi and shifted her eyes down to the floor.

"Forgive me for intruding," he said as he looked down at his notepad. He adjusted his glasses then looked up at Mayu, "Princess, are you feeling alright today?" Mayu nodded avoiding his gaze. Takashi stood up and sighed,

"Why are you here again?"

"I am here for Naiya," he said, "until she finds the Legendary Crystal I will always be around." The silver haired man shape shifted into a cat and looked up at Mayu. "Are you sure you're feeling alright?" Mayu nodded.

"Don't call me by that name though," she whispered, "my name is Mayu."

"I apologize, Princess," the cat said. Mayu rolled her eyes then picked the cat up.

"You're not from the moon," she said, "you don't have the same mark as Luna or Artemis."

"You're right," he laughed, "but where I'm from is not important." Mayu shrugged and put him down.

"Can you give me and Takashi a bit of privacy, please?" She smiled at the cat. He groaned then left the room. Mayu turned to Takashi and blushed. He smiled then looked at his watch.

"You're going to be late for school," he smiled. Mayu sighed and bounced back on her bed knowing the moment had passed.

"Can I stay home with you today?" She pouted up at Takashi. He laughed and leaned over her.

"You have to go to school," he whispered in her ear. He hovered over her and stared down at her. She felt his green eyes pierce through her heart. "Besides what would we do if we stayed home?" His voice teased. Mayu felt her heart race and it pounded as if it were going to leap out of her chest. She turned her face from him and blushed.

"N-nothing," she wiggled from under him and dashed out the room. Takashi fell back on her bed and laughed. The cat peeped around the corner.

"Sir," he said, "don't do that to the princess." His little head disappeared back around the corner. Takashi stuck his tongue out at him then turned onto his stomach and stared out the window.

"My sister, a princess?" He stared up at the sun. Mayu sat on the sofa as the cat talked to her.

"Um, excuse me," she interrupted him, "I don't even know who you are."

"Your memory is not back yet?" He questioned as he tilted his head to the side. He took his glasses off and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "My name is Sol. I was the advisor to the Queen and took care of your royal classes." She tilted her head and tapped her index finger on her lips.

"I don't remember you," she finally sighed. He replaced his glasses and sighed.

"What am I going to do with you?" He groaned. Mayu jumped off the sofa.

"Takashi, we're going to be late," she called out. Takashi brought her bag out her room and smiled,

"Ready?"

"Mhm." Mayu and Takashi rushed out the door.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Sol cried as he chased after them. Mayu and Takashi rounded the corner and Mayu braced herself. To her surprise Toshio wasn't coming around the corner this morning. She stopped and stared for a bit her eyes scanned up and down the street. Takashi held out his hand for hers. She slid her hand into his and squeezed it.

"He isn't here today," she sighed and looked up at Takashi with a sad smile.

"Maybe we'll see him on the way back," Takashi smiled trying to reassure her.

"I have finally found you," Kunzite called from behind them. "Princess, you couldn't hide from me forever." Mayu and Takashi whirled around and Takashi pushed Mayu behind him. "It's not you I'm after," he smiled and began to move toward them.

"Stay away from her," Sol shouted as he leapt through the air and attacked Kunzite.

"Stupid cat," he growled as he threw Sol to the ground.

"Sol!" Mayu cried out. She growled lowly at Kunzite. "You're always hurting the people I love! I won't stand for it anymore!" She grabbed the center of her chest then paused. "My brooch," she gasped, "I can't transform." Kunzite laughed and moved towards them menacingly. Takashi lunged at Kunzite, but was tossed to the side. "Takashi," Mayu cried. She glared up at Kunzite. "I won't forgive you for what you've done!" Her eyes flashed black and she growled at Kunzite. A group of youma rose up and stood between Kunzite and Mayu. Kunzite stepped back then smiled.

"Get her," he instructed the youmas. The youmas turned and looked at Mayu then turned back toward Kunzite and began moving towards him. Kunzite stepped back a bit confused by the situation. Mayu's heart began to pound against her ribcage and she dropped to her knees clutching her chest.

"What's happening to me?" She cried. Kunzite watched as the youma disappeared. Mayu groaned softly. Kunzite approached her again, but stopped when he saw the Sailor Senshi approaching. He vanished from the area immediately.

"Mayu," Sailor Moon called out to her, "are you alright?" He knelt beside her and rubbed her back gently.

"I'm fine," she smiled as she stood to her feet. Her pitch black eyes glistened in the sunlight. Sailor Moon jumped back and stared at her. "What's wrong, Sailors? Cat got your tongue?" She laughed loudly tossing her head back. Zoicite appeared and grabbed her then vanished again.

"Naiya!" Sol cried out, "Princess."

"Let go of me," Mayu squirmed pulling free from him. She turned around and glared at him. "Don't ever touch me again." She narrowed her eyes angrily. Zoicite rolled his eyes.

"Nephrite," he called, but received no answer. "Nephrite!" Just then Jadeite came running in the room. He hunched over and placed his hands on his knees.

"Eclipse is gone," he panted trying to catch his breath. He looked up and saw Mayu standing there with her arms crossed. "Is this the brat?" Mayu walked up to him and smacked him in the face.

"Watch who you're talking to," her voice hissed.

"Just a little further," Nephrite said as he carried Eclipse through the town. Eclipse opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"Where are you taking me?" She whispered.

"Somewhere I know you'll be safe," he smiled. He carried her into the park and set her on the bench. "Wait here," he instructed as he disappeared behind the trees. Eclipse nodded and stared up at the sky. Her blue eyes glistened from the sunlight. Her once black hair was now almost completely butterscotch blonde and curly. Nephrite appeared from behind the trees and took Eclipse's hand. He led her through the trees down a pathway toward a magnificent house. When she entered the house she smiled.

"It reminds me of home," she turned to him and smiled. "Thank you."

"I know it's not the Amaterasu Kingdom," Nephrite blushed, "but I tried making it as close as I could, Cira." Her face flushed bright red and she covered it with her hands.

"It's been forever since I've heard that name," she giggled through her hands. "It's almost like it isn't even me." Nephrite knelt before her and took her hands down from her face. He kissed her right hand sweetly and she blushed some more.

"I may not be all four of the generals, Cira," he said to her, "I may not even be the strongest of the four, but I'm here for you." She gasped and looked down at him,

"Has Celino been found yet?" Nephrite frowned and shook his head. Cira felt her heart ache terribly at the mention of his name. "I want to start looking for him," she said to Nephrite. "I need to be with him again."

In the Dark Kingdom Mayu was throwing a fit. She kicked the door of the room Zoicite had placed her in.

"You let me out!" She shouted. "You hear me! Let me out!" Kunzite rubbed the temples of his head and groaned,

"At least Eclipse was quieter than her." Jadeite nodded in agreement.

"So we have the girl," Zoicite said, "but we don't have Eclipse." Zoicite pondered quietly then Jadeite jumped up.

"Queen Beryl is growing restless," he said, "and I think she's growing suspicious. She's been questioning me about Eclipse."

"And what did you tell her?" Zoicite inquired.

"I told her I didn't know anything," Jadeite responded as he looked down at his shoes. Queen Beryl sat in her room and listened through her crystal ball to their conversation.

"After Eclipse is awaken," Zoicite smiled, "she will save us from Beryl." Kunzite and Jadeite smiled at Zoicite. "She will never control us again!" Beryl's face twisted into a wicked grin as she stared at the ball.

"I guess we'll see about that," she smiled.
