"Is Zoicite still with Ami and the girls?" Endymion asked roughly as he scrambled through some things in his room.

"Yes, I believe so." Kunzite replied.

"Believe so? Shouldn't you know?" Endymion answered sarcastically as he threw a wadded up piece of paper to the side.

"What's gotten into you?" Jaedite muttered from his spot on the couch.

Endymion gave him a hard look and ran a hand through his hair, "I met with Richard and Charlotte this evening..."

"And?" came the voices of Kunzite and Jaedite in unison.

"Well if you would let me finish…I think Viper is planning on doing somet-"

"ENDYMION!!"

All three males looked up to see a very out of breath Zoicite standing in the doorway. His hair was all ruffled and his chest heaving from lack of breath. Endymion looked at him, awaiting for his general to say something, anything…but it didn't come.

"Yes Zoicite?"

"It's Serenity…she's awake!"

Endymion felt his heart stop for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past few months. Ever since Serenity had come to stay there with him and his people, his heart seemed to be doing a lot of things. He stared into space, seeming to be in his own little world. His body numb to the world, his ears deaf to the voices roaring in the room. Shouting his name.

"What?" Endymion asked, snapping out of his daze.

"It's Serenity! She's awake!" Kunzite reiterated what Zoicite had just said moments ago.

Endymion seemed to finally realize what the two men had just said and ran from the room. He sped down the hall and turned a corner, nearly knocking over a wooden table and a vase of fresh flowers. He cursed under his breath and made a self note to move that blasted table. He finally arrived at the bedroom door and tried to catch his breath. He inhaled deeply and reached out for the doorknob. He looked down at his hand and saw that it was shaking. Shaking! He had never been nervous in his life. Well, at least before he knew Serenity. He inhaled once more and turned the brass knob. He opened the door slowly and took a step in.

"Please! Don't yell…" Serenity groaned, her hands rushing to her temples.

Once the room was quiet again she removed her hands and laid them at her side. She placed her palms firmly on the mattress and gently pushed herself up. The first time she fell back to the mattress wincing from the intense pain that shot through her entire body; fresh tears beginning to glisten in her cerulean orbs.

"Oh Serenity…please be careful!" Ami urged as she rushed to her friend's side, "…let me help you."

She reached out towards the blonde and helped to lift her upper body and fixed the pillow behind her so that Serenity could lay back and be comfortable. Once the pillow was plumped efficiently, Ami guided her wounded friend against it and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

"You gave us quite a scare…" Ami whispered, her voice growing hoarse with emotion.

"Oh Ami…don't cry!" Serenity choked out as she wiped away the tears that fell down her cheek.

The two women hugged each other as if they hadn't seen each other in years. Zoicite watched the scene quietly and a sudden thought ran through his head. I must tell Endymion! He'll want to know. He silently backed out of the room and practically sprinted around the manor looking for Endymion.

Ami pulled away and wiped her face with her apron and then did the same to Serenity with a small smile. "Don't ever scare us like that again. Do you hear me?"

For the first time in weeks Serenity laughed; however, it didn't last long as more pain shot up through her body. Her hands reached to cradle her stomach and she leaned forward.

"Here take some of this. It will help." Ami instructed, as she practically shoved some more of the brown liquid into Serenity's mouth.

"UGH! That is the nastiest shit I think I've ever tasted! DAMN!" Serenity shouted as she wiped her mouth.

"Oh stop complaining…it's better than you suffering through all the pain isn't it?"

"Well yes…but that's not the point!" Serenity said glaring daggers at the blue haired nurse. As she did so her eyes fell on the still slumbering Rei and her eyes grew large.

"Rei! Is she okay?" Serenity asked panicked.

Ami nodded, "Yes she is quite alright. She's taking a nap right now."

"Well I was TRYING to take a nap but SOMEONE can't shut the hell up!" came the all too familiar sarcastic voice.

Rei turned her head to look at the other two and smiled. She threw back the blankets and climbed out of the bed. At first she was a little unstable but she finally gained her balance and joined the other two girls on the bed. She climbed in beside Serenity and gave her a big hug.

"What would I have done without you and your stupid ass mouth?!" Rei said roughly.

Serenity returned the hug and buried her once again wet face into her shoulder, "Oh Rei! I'm so sorry for everything!"

For the next minute or so all three girls were bawling their eyes out and suddenly Ami stood up. "I must go find Minako and Makato! They'll want to see you!"

Serenity and Rei pulled apart and laughed through their tears. Ami left quickly, shutting the door firmly behind her. Rei looked at Serenity and pushed a few strands of silver blonde hair out of her friend's face.

"I'm so glad he found you…I'm sorry I couldn't protect you…" Rei choked.

Serenity shook her head, "No! No! What happened is not your fault! It was all mine! Viper has been after me for a long time Rei. I just wish he could have left everyone else out of it."

"But why does he want you? Why?" Rei asked, worry written all over her face, "And why don't the girls and I know about this? I mean I knew Viper has been after the Vampires for centuries…why would he want you?"

Serenity sighed heavily, trying to think of what she should say. "I…"

Both girls glanced up towards the door, thinking it was Ami with the girls but Serenity's eyes collided with those of a midnight blue and she found that she couldn't breathe. Rei smiled up at Endymion and climbed out of the bed.

"I'll just leave you two alone…" she smiled and glanced down at Serenity, giving her a wink, "We'll finish our discussion later…"

Serenity nodded as Rei walked towards the door.

"Where is Jaedite?"

"I believe he is still in my bedroom…" Endymion said faintly.

Rei gave a quick "thank you" and shut the door behind her. Endymion stood by the door for what seemed like hours, his eyes locked with Serenity's. She smiled up at him and this undid him completely. He walked over to the bed and took her in his arms, cradling her in his lap, rocking her back and forth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her face buried in his chest as she cried.

He gently stroked her hair and laid kisses on the top of her head, whispering sweet nothings to help calm her down. She lifted her face to meet his gaze, her hands moving to frame his face. He looked down at her and saw all his love reflecting in her eyes.

"I thought I had lost you there for a while…" he whispered, his forehead touching her's.

"Endymion…you will never lose me…I will forever be with you…" she answered.

"Oh Serenity…"

He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her lips. It wasn't like anything Serenity had ever experienced before. She returned the kiss full force, her hands running through his hair and pulling him closer. Endymion's body immediately reacted to her encouragement and he scooted her bottom right on top of the ever hardening mass in his pants.

A small groan escaped from her mouth as he tore away from her lips and began to kiss and suck her neck. She tossed her head back to allow him some more room which he greedily took. His hands roamed over her back and then back around to her chest.

He grabbed a hold of her breast and began to gently massage it, her nipple growing hard beneath his touch.

"Endy…"

Endymion looked up at her with eagerness and she smiled down at him giving him her approval. He smiled brilliantly up at her and then began to untie her nightdress. Once the lace was removed he slowly pushed the fabric off her shoulders, his fingertips lightly grazing her skin as if it were the finest silk. Serenity felt the goose bumps immediately appear on her arms and she moaned. He leaned forward and began to suckle the warm flesh near her collar bone. His mouth soon found her taut pink nipple and he eagerly took it in his mouth, feeling Serenity's legs tighten around his waist.

Serenity's eyes grew wide when he began to suck and taunt her nipple with his tongue. Swirling it around the areola and then flicking it across the tip. She began to squirm in his lap and his head shot up.

"Don't do that…" he ordered huskily.

"Do what?" she asked confused and then a wicked look emerged within her eyes and she smirked, "Do you mean this?" , she asked as she squirmed once again in his lap.

A low growl emitted from the back of Endymion's throat, his eyes growing dark with lust. She grinned down at him and began to slowly grind against his penis. Endymion moaned and grabbed a hold of her hips and helped her grind harder against him. He then slipped a hand under the nightgown that pooled around her hips and pressed the tips of his fingers against her wetness.

She let out a sharp squeak of surprise, momentarily stopping what she was doing. He gave her a devilish grin as he slipped a finger into her.

"Oh Serenity…you are so wet…" he murmured under his breath as he once again began to assault her breast with his mouth.

She began to move her hips to match his pace and groaned when he slipped another finger in.

"Shit Serenity…you are so fucking tight…" Endymion said hoarsely, his manhood throbbing with need. He increased his pace.

"Oh Endy I'm about to…to…" she cried.

"Hold it baby…hold it a little longer…" he whispered as he laid her down on the bed. He placed his hands on her hips and removed the nightgown completely. He spread her legs and positioned himself between them. Serenity watched him with wide eyes as his face disappeared to her nether regions.

She bucked off the bed as his tongue began to lick and suck her wetness. He took her nub between his lips and began to gently suck. Serenity had to cover her mouth with her hand to keep her scream of ecstasy from escaping.

"Endy! I can't take much mo-"

Before she could finish what she was saying he thrust his hardened manhood deep within her. Her muscles forming around his penis, twitching as she found her release with him. For a second they didn't move, but then he collapsed beside her, dragging her body close to his.

She turned her body towards him, her eyes staring straight into his.

"Endy?" she asked softly.

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?"

Memories of the other night when he first laid eyes on Serenity and his confession to her ran through his mind as if in slow motion. His eyes glazed over and Serenity grew worried.

"Endy?"

"Yes…"

"Do you love me?" she repeated.

He looked down at her and laid a small kiss on her forehead. "Of course I do…how could I not?"

Serenity felt a new round of tears prick the back of her eyes. "Promise?"

"Forever and always." He whispered and kissed the tip of her nose.

She smiled and began to laugh ecstatically and threw her arms around him.

"Oh Endy I love you so much!"

Endymion laughed and returned the hug. He looked up at her glowing face and brushed hair out of her eyes.

"I'm glad…now we need to get you back in your nightgown and you need to get some rest." he ordered as he picked up the plain fabric off the floor. "And remind me to take you to town one of these days and buy you some new clothes."

"Endymion!" Serenity shouted as she threw a pillow at his face.

He dodged it and quickly began to dress her. Once she looked like she did before he ravished her he sat down on the side of the bed and folded his hands in his lap. He looked at the adjacent wall, thinking about what he had to do now.

Serenity looked at him with confusion in her eyes and she gently nudged his arm. "Are you alright?"

Endymion snapped out of his daze and nodded his head with a smile on his face. "Of course! I just made love to the most beautiful woman I've ever seen or loved. All is perfect."

This caused Serenity to smile as if she was a little kid again, but this did not last for the distant look returned in Endymion's eyes. "Endy, tell me what's wrong. And don't lie."

"I have to go somewhere tonight, I'll be back by morning." He finally answered.

"What? Where are you going?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why the hell not?!"

"Sere…I'm not going to argue with you." Endymion said with frustration as he stood up and fixed his pants.

Serenity searched his face for an answer but couldn't find one. "Well I'll come with you."

"HELL NO!" he shouted.

Serenity jumped at the sudden tone in his voice. If looks could kill Endymion would have been laying on the floor at that very second. "WHAT THE HELL ENDYMION?!?!"

Endymion immediately regretted what he said and ran a hand through his hair. If I keep doing this I'm going to go bald. He thought angrily at himself. He sighed heavily and turned towards Serenity.

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean for it to come out like that."

"Why can't I come?"

"Because you can't."

"Why not?!"

"BECAUSE!"

"WHY?! ARE YOU SEEING SOME FUCKING WHORE?! AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?!"

Endymion grabbed Serenity by her shoulders and shook her. "There will NEVER be another woman! YOU are the only one I want! YOU are the only one I can think about! YOU are the only one that I want to ever make love with! YOU are the only one I have ever loved! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!"

"THEN WHY CAN'T I GO?!"

"BECAUSE I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN!"

Serenity stared up at him in shock and awe. Tears began to trickle down his cheeks as he stared her down. She reached up and gently grazed her fingertips across his moist flesh and wiped away the tears.

"Endymion…" she said softly as she took him in her arms, "You aren't going to lose me."

She held him until he finally calmed down and then she looked at his face. "Now, what do you have to go do?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"Because then you'll want to go. And I can't let you do that. And I'm not going to argue with you over this. It's a done deal. Drop it." He ordered.

"Umm..no?" she said glaring up at him.

He growled and nearly pulled out his hair out of frustration, "Just stop!"

Serenity crossed her arms over her chest and glared up at him. Defiance written all over her face, "What. Do. You. Have. To. Do?"

"Viper is planning an attack on Moonlight Manor and Motoki…"

"WHAT?!?! AND YOU SAY I CAN'T FUCKING GO?! THAT'S BULLSHIT ENDYMION!! OF COURSE I'M GOING!!" Serenity shouted angrily as she stood up off the bed. Pain shot throughout her body and she doubled over.

"Look at you Sere! It hurts you to stand! You aren't going!" he insisted.

"Oh so now you care?! You didn't seem to care too much when you stuck your fucking dick inside me!"

Endymion stared at her in disbelief, not really knowing if she actually had said that or not.

"Those are my people! And I'm not going to let them die! If you make me stay here I will NEVER forgive you!" she screamed.

"You're staying and that's final." He said angrily and walked towards the door. He opened it and before he left, a vase came crashing next to his head.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOMAN! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!" ,Endymion turned around sharply.

Serenity's chest was heaving with every ragged breath she took. "DON'T FUCKING WALK OUT WHEN WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DISCUSSION YOU STUPID ASSHOLE!"

Endymion yelled and slammed the door behind him, shaking every ornament that adorned the newly crowded hallway.

"What the hell are you looking at?!" he roared as he stomped down the hall. I need a drink…
