damonika2009: thanks, the action scenes are my next favorite to the sex scenes to write out.

Mzmiami: thanks!

AimlesslyGera: Mooly sometimes did come out of nowhere so I wanted to incorporate that. As for Diamond not pushing the issue, he did promise her that they wouldn't till he won, and he's trying to maintain being a honorable man, even if his ways are questionable.

Guest(1): I guess people woke up the day of! Lol!

adoore (Guest): oh yes, much mamo/usa moments to come, just give them time. As for the silver haired child, she'll be here for a while.

Slow Burn (Guest): believe me she wanted to, really did but with evil people lurking about and your suppose to pretend to be on their side, you need to act your part even if your in your soul mates arms.

Sailor Moon R 'Roses and Diamonds' ch.25

Sapphire was feeling a pillar of un easiness lately, starting with Usagi's introduction in their dark kingdom. It wasn't helping that the Dark Crystal was starting to become unstable. Something was affecting its natural energy flux, a kind of opposing current. Creating an under toe in its stream of power, twisting it's flows path. His nerves were on edge from the small stressor's all around the place. Diamond was on his back over his caution with the Dark Crystal, wanting to push their conquest ahead of schedule.

Wiseman was skulking around the halls more often, as if hunting something. Then there was their new Queen, He didn't like her, and he didn't trust her one bit. But she was keeping his brother happy and content so he didn't spark outrage at her being there. But what he did notice was that she didn't seem to be favorable of the Wiseman any more than he did, it gave them an unknown common ground.

Well that and his brother wasn't venting at every little youma that was around the palace grounds, like he was previously with his failed attempts to woe her in the past. He had been getting annoyed with that so this was a tad more preferred. Now he was just contemplating to see if things would grow worse for his brother with her there as time went on. There was something about her that didn't strike well within him.

Knowing everyone was fast asleep or on sight patrols he ventured into Wiseman's known area, down deep in the bowels of the Palace, where the Room of Darkness lay. And the ancient archive of texts and scrolls salvaged from their progenitor's Wise Man had stated. Normally unless the Wiseman summoned a youma or asked Diamond to join him for a brief meeting which wasn't that often in here NO ONE was allowed in. His privacy was taken seriously, and upheld at all costs, he kept it that way for reasons un known to Sapphire.

He wanted to investigate Wiseman. He needed solid proof that his ill feelings were accurate or if it was just the change in his family, his environment. Her being here that was setting off all of his alarm bells and it was disturbing his way of life. It was an un known factor that he wasn't familiar with handling. It put him on edge to be so twisted with these feelings inside that he didn't know of what else to do.

Sneaking past a few sets of time worn doubled doors leading to the Wiseman's chambers. This was the least used part of the palace, the ancient corridors that wound ever downward into the very bowels of the planet it seemed. Though he often wondered how deep this place actually was to the rest of the surrounding areas.

With rotting linen that might have been tapestries at one time, hanging upon the shadowed stones of the halls. Rusty scones, flickering with light crystals nearly spent of their energy. The linen made him want to steer clear to avoid gagging at the scent, he wanted to avoid knocking down to avoid announcing his presence. After all, the place had tomb like quality to it that made him feel like he was trespassing upon the graves of his ancestors.

Shaking off the unsettled feelings, he used the stealth skills all Dark Moon Royalty were trained to use, enabling them to infiltrate on the enemy, to gain access and over hear anything of use for either themselves or their family. He just did think he'd be using it or would need to use it on their 'advisor' of sorts.

A faint light was glowing from the end of the narrow corridor he was slinking down. It was the ancient door to the old library, it was pushed open just enough for one slender body to gain entry into. Using the surrounding shadows to hide himself, he slipped into the dusty confines of the room. Hiding himself behind a row of wooden book shelves, watching from the obscurity of the dried out tombs, while the Wiseman muttered to himself in a language foreign to anything of earth or to their ancestors from their planet.

Hunched over a thin nearly decayed parchment, on one of the libraries long stone tables, he narrowed his eyes at the man, "What are you doing?" he muttered under his breath, to afraid to compromise himself if he spoke any louder. Five minutes of chanting later Sapphire gave up understanding the Wiseman. He slithered away wondering if he could perhaps find out if it was maybe a long since buried dead language.

He retreated up to the relative warmth and light of the Palace above, compared to the dimness of the Wiseman's area it was beauty. Seeking answers, he went within the halls of texts, and tombs in the Main Library. It was a vast room that was filled with rows upon rows of books, and one long table in the center, for one to sit down for either viewing or reading pleasure.

Many a times prior to their attack here he would come in a read in silence for hours on end, well when he wasn't spending loving amount of time with..., he shook his head, avoiding such thoughts during this time.

With high ceilings and a huge glass window that arched out of view into the rafters. The ceiling boasted heavy stone buttresses accenting an arched gothic dome ceiling, with gargoyles that glowered down at the unworthy below. He had long since become accustomed to the stoic gloom of the place, able to ignore the judging architecture. Though some part of him briefly wondered why they seemed to look at a person in such away without movement.

Rummaging through their tombs of knowledge, he came across an old book buried so far back, if you weren't looking for something ancient it would never be found. In it was a text type of language, like what he saw in the catacombs. He hadn't gotten a good look at what the Wiseman was reading. But the symbol of an all seeing eye on the cover of the book, looked just like the symbol he had seen on the header of that parchment.

It was very old and he was unable to read it, he wondered if he should take it to an outside source. Thoughts of using their own people, knowing that someone was always watching someone else, add that to Wiseman nearly everywhere didn't bode well for him, nor his trust in people in the area.

Sailor Mercury, he wondered, she was the enemy but also the smartest person he knew. He didn't trust Wiseman, and his brother was becoming unstable. He thought this Queen would help him, calm him somewhat. But she was only making him worse. He was acting more obsessed than ever before about finishing the mission "Replay". He was losing his rational, more calculating mind, to his obsessions. If anything she seemed to shy away from the more intimate displays in public.

For him he was happy, he didn't need to see them being so intimate in such a public venue, but it seemed his brother's lust for power and domination was growing stronger the more he seemed to get even a hint of something more than a lusty kiss from her. He almost wished he could hear them at night, to confirm she wasn't holding out on his brother, that lack of sex wasn't making him so sexually, love struck charged, that he was ready to push their mission plans ahead of the crystal's ability, back on the past earth being ready.

It was becoming a blind ambition to succeed at all costs, and it was compromising his leadership over them all. If his brother didn't get himself under control, someone like Rubeus would use that weakness against him and take his crown right out from under him. The throne of the Dark Moon went to whomever was the more powerful, the most feared. And unfortunately a love sick fool, much like what his brother was becoming just wasn't that scary anymore, if at all.

He would go to the Queen, but seeing as how he had a dislike of her, and very little common ground he didn't bother to try and talk. Seeing it as a futile gesture since she seemed to be the cause of his brother's recent actions, though there seemed to be no physical proof. Only his brother's morphing out of control behavior that could be related to stressing over the crystal and the mission himself.

So by this point Sapphire felt he needed to do whatever was necessary to save his brother from himself. First he had to figure out what Wiseman was up to, then he had to try and find the source of this new energy affecting the Dark Crystal. He was sure it be a huge effect if gone untreated, perhaps even to the point of draining itself to avoid exploding and more than likely killing them all. It was a failsafe they put into the crystal long ago to make sure it didn't over power itself.

It was something he didn't think and hoped for all intended purposes Wiseman would be un known on. Lastly, he had to get rid of their new Queen. Not by death, it would ruin his plans and put a wrinkle in them when dealing with Mercury. But she was blinding Diamond from his true purpose, from their goal, with this love nonsense. Though it did seem as if his brother was the one to initiate, nearly everything between them.

So getting in contact with Mercury was the first step. He had to de code this ancient text. Maybe her past counterpart, since her current one was completely busy helping keep the Crystal palace's force field up. The chances of that was one in a billion and those weren't even remotely considerable odds for him. Devising a potential plan he took the book, heading for the portal room. He shimmered away, making sure no one could follow his trail as he traveled to earth's past using their time portal.

As much as he despised the White Moon people he hated even more to be deceived and manipulated, even more so by people he was entrusting with information and with people he had known in his history, so if the secrets to the lies lied within the White Moon then he'd swallow his Dark Moon pride and deal with it. His brother would thank him for it later.

Now, he thought to himself, to find the senshi of wisdom and hope she doesn't try to alert her other senshi, if she did they might have a big problem on their hands and he didn't feel like trying to kill anyone. At least not until he figured out what the Wiseman was up to. Then they could all duke it out as if they hadn't formed a small partnering – temporary - alliance. Till then, he needed her as much as he loathed to admit it and at this point in time she as well as her fellow senshi could use him use well. After all the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Meanwhile as Usagi slept in bed next to Diamonds dozing form, even as he had his left arm wrapped about her waist, her back to his chest, and him snuggled into the back of her with his chin resting on her shoulder. Her dream state was in a pleasant atmosphere, having retreated back into her corridor of memory, the nexus of her living body in which her soul and mind had become one. This was her heaven, her prize to claim every night.

Having survived another day in Diamonds grasp, unraveling his schemes behind the veil of complacency, and dealing yet again, with his spine chilling, and nauseating caresses he bestowed upon her in the waking hours. Caresses that her body willingly accepted even as her the effects made her want to bolt. The darkness within complying to his wishes and struggling against her body's natural force to be rid of him.

She was struggling with it daily as a sort of punishment, she knew deep down she needed to accept, for her seemingly never ending gullibility when it seemed to come to him and his methods prior to all this. She knew in some form she deserved to deal with it, that her punishment for letting her friends down, for truly believing Diamond over them, she knew that this is the path she choose, when she made up her mind to help Diamond and his family. She needed to complete it no matter how vile his touch felt.

Plus in the end her heart knew that despite his actions with her, despite his determination to destroy, it was built out of lies and deceit from the Wiseman, and that alone told her there was still a chance of redemption for him. However she wasn't going to forget the severe ass kicking and pummeling he would be receiving for his torment, over Mamoru and his dark poisoning of her mind and body. She was still upset with herself for feeling so stupid over letting him in and not accepting the help from her friends that deep down she knew she needed.

But tonight she was putting her 'self loathing' into its place so she could enjoy her prize of the night. The moments were so much sweeter, with Mamoru once more able to visit her.

For the last ten minutes she and Mamoru had been chatting in the veil of her memories of home, deep behind her family door. They were lounging in her room back in her house on earth, finding a comfortable spot on her bed. This space was hers, it nearly glowed with the purity that lived in her soul. The girlish atmosphere filled with loved stuffed animals in the corners. Her poster's of idols and bands adorning the white walls.

Every token of her life on display and cherished for anyone to come in and see. Not a hint of the tainted darkness that had poisoned her real room back home, though she fleetingly wondered if it was still there. She knew she had a lot to clean up in her life now, thanks to Diamond. Though right now she was working on the mess she had made with Mamoru, in their stupid 'ping pong' game that she had, once she thought about it, participated in as well.

Not everything was his fault and she wanted to make up for that, show him that despite how she and Diamond seemed to have clicked, he wasn't him, never would be, and therefore would never hold a place in her heart the way Mamoru did. It was to special for that, one reserved for ones soul mate to bear. And so far things were looking up, the night had been filled with forgiveness and promise.

Not wanting to part they each came up with something new to talk about, it gave him not only a chance to make up for past ignorance's but to also do as Rei had instructed, woe her all over again. After all she deserved it. They would work out all their issues, reminisce, joke around. But mostly they had been fooling around, unable not to kiss and hold each other with the pull being just so strong.

They lay next to one another, staring up at a swirling iridescent fog that turned lazily above their heads. Usagi was dressed in a simple long pale white shirt that fell off one shoulder, hanging low over the hips of her slender jeans. Her golden hair falling free over her bare shoulders, looking relaxed and alluring all at the same time. While Mamoru was in the very clothes he was wearing back at the Temple with Rei, as she helped him cast his soul over the miles of time and space to spend time with his beloved.

A pair of worn out jeans, with the knees ripped out, and a black dress shirt with several buttons now undone, since engaging in several rounds of love play with her this evening. Usagi would raise an arm, touching the cloud like surface with her fingertips, willing a new vision to emerge from it. The clouds would soften into thin wisps of light as a memory of her family life began to form within the now brilliant depths.

A humorous moment of her past, of her childhood long before Mamoru had truly known her. She had been attempting to help her mother care for a recently potty trained Shingo. Usagi couldn't help but sit up, pointing and holding her tummy as she was overcome with laughter. The vision above their heads, showing a very proud Shingo, who had been fighting with this sister who was attempting to help him get dressed. Stating he could do it himself! Shingo was about two years old, his blue eyes wider and more innocent, cheeks flushed and as round as a chipmunks.

His little powder blue t-shirt was inside out, his pudgy legs thrust through the arm holes, the rest of the shirt hanging loose and baggy around his torso, requiring him to hold it up by a hand. His white underwear stuffed over his head. There were tufts of dusty blonde hair sticking out of the leg holes, with just a hint of his blue eyes staring out from the cusp of those very same leg holes. Sauntering out of his room proud that he had done this amazing feet all by himself.

A few seconds later, an exasperated five year old Usagi. Dressing in a sweet summer dress of pink and white, full of frills and lace, with a wide white bow in the middle of her back, her face rosy from both exertion and humiliation and her golden locks still in their original style of Odango's and tails, yet her tails were so much shorter looking more like ringlets.

Laughing at the recent memory they were viewing together as if it were a movie reel, Mamoru was quietly snickering, his eyes shining with mirth. As he was propped up on his elbows as he stared up at the swirling cloud on her roof. He was loving looking at her past with her family, so many wonderful moments that he couldn't wait to experience with his own family...when he had one with her.

He looked at how happy she was and wanted that for them both. Past fantasies of impregnating with his child in the near future, of them raising their kids together and enjoying many a romantic and steam filled nights together, not letting dark forces or any kind of outside force intervene or ruin them, played merrily in his mind. It only made him more determined to get her back, make her his again.

Usagi fell back on the bed giggling and he drank her happy form in like a fine wine to be savored and loved. Leaning down and hovering over her, she smiled fondly, no longer laughing, now love and adoration shining in her eyes.

'I love you Usako." He murmured in her ear as he lowered his head to kiss and nip playfully at her neck. Rising up with a special smile that was all hers.

"I will get you back. I promise." He stated, his eyes darkening with the fierce commitment in his tone.

"I never doubted it." She grinned, as the warm shadow of his body covered her. Arching her back against his, needing closer contact, she cupped his cheeks holding him still as she clasped her lips to his in a strong yet passionate kiss.

"I love you…Mamo – chan." she whispered, as she felt him lifting up her shirt, resuming the love play they had been engaging in all night. Even though it was only their spirits participating in the acts, the dream like reality they were in filled in the realism. She wanted him to have everything of hers, just as he did that night on the beach, just as he always did in their past lives together. "I'm as much yours as you are mine Usako." He promised.

Her eyes teared up right before he smothered her in a kiss. It was a mixture of lust, love and passion, all cooked up to create the sensations that curled her toes and had her heart beating an arrhythmic beat.

Using her left leg, she hooked and looped it in with his, flipping them over and straddled his waist before lifting her top over her head, finding the comfort in her personal surroundings to give her more confidence to do this dance with him, a dance that she would have been to shy before in the past to accomplish without much encouragement. He looked up, stunned at first by the bold maneuver, but appreciating her beauty none the less and helping her pull the garment off, not caring on its landing.

Tracing her sides then her rib cage, his hands eventually traced up her front to her nicely rounded full breasts, that taunted him as they seemed to peak out of the bra she wore. It was bad enough that the bra looked nearly edible to the point where he wanted to bite it off of her, but her creamy breasts threatening to slip out if she moved forward to much, waiting for him to catch them between his loving lips. He sat up faster than she could process as he heard her gasp of surprise and shock.

Smiling, feeling confident that she would soon be his again, that truly she was never NOT his, that she was just currently LOST to him. His left hand wrapped behind her back as she leaned into kiss him. One snap and her bra fell loosely between them. He pulled back to pull it out only to have her grab it and swing it away in a highly sexy manner. Her body moving over his as if she were riding a wild horse that needed to be tamed.

The movements were hazardous to his groin that she was centered over, making his more primal instincts come out, causing a growl to erupt from her over him. Instead of trying to slow them down as he had in the past, he merely grinned like the cat got the canary and swung her small form beneath his more powerful one.

"Your dad's gonna kill me!" Mamoru joked, glancing around at their dream surrounding as he pretended to listen for said man around the area.

Usagi laughed out loud, his comment making this dream experience so much more forbidden and romantic. "My poppa's scary, but the one you should really worry about is my momma. She's a spatula wielding force to be reckoned with!" She stated, with a knowing grin.

Mamoru blanched, suddenly uncertain. Ikuko always seemed so mild mannered and sweet, he never saw her as the aggressive protector. He filed it away, making sure he never took her while in her real house, at least not till they were married, even then possibly not. He truly didn't want to contemplate the punishment Ikuko might 'cook' up at his transgressions against her only daughter. Though when it came to Usagi in the room he'd have to be sure to keep her a certain distance away, otherwise he might not be given a chance against her whims.

Then he resumed the matter at hand with a charming grin. She gasped again in surprise and rising passion before he enveloped her lips once again. "Oh Mamo – chan…" she moaned in his mouth. Confidence growing within she pulled at his shirt till he leaned back and helped her remove it. Feeling her small hands navigate slowly up his chest, had him groaning in rising lust himself now. "Usa…" he didn't get to finish, as a hand, that he hadn't been paying attention to somehow snuck its way down the front of his pants.

Her finger's deftly unbuttoning his jeans, causing them to sag down his hips. The adventurous little hands, moved past the elastic of his boxers and grasping his rapidly hardening manhood, shocking him into near silence as he fisted his hands, trying to gain back control so he didn't frighten her, by grabbing and shoving her down deeply into the bed and taking her with a ruthless passion that he wasn't sure he could control.

"Mamo – chan…" she asked, her eyes misting with sudden concern. He looked down tentatively at her small form, as she had, with a sureness he was shocked she had, pulled his now stiff member out of hiding in one fluid movement. The stunning sight of her hand curled around his aching member was nearly his undoing as he saw her left hand grasping the bottom of his member, while her head dipped in to taste the now slightly wet head.

His hands quickly curled even tighter to the sheets, trying to NOT hurt her with his passion. The beach night, he saw as being under the influence, he wanted to take her again yes, but with more love rather than a simple need to get off. "Mamo – chan?" She questioned now, "I want to be with you…all of you." She stated. Licking the head like a lolly pop. "Evil woman…" he muttered, "This isn't real...Usako." He felt he needed to express the truth.

What they were doing...it was just a fantasy, they were literally not even in their true forms, not really. Feeling that it was very difficult to keep himself at bay now, his very soul would be powerless to stop himself from mindlessly pounding into her. Fantasy or not, it felt real...too real, as if this spirit plane they seemed to occupy here was enhancing the wonder of their touches, the depth of their timeless love.

Then her hands disappeared, he sighed in relief but saw her slightly upset look, "Does that matter? This may not be my body...but it's my soul! Do you not wa - " he kissed her with a desperation, "I do but I want this to be special. Our first time was influenced by Diamond's chocolates, and yes I loved it but, I want…" now he wasn't so sure his reasons were completely logical. Something about her presence alone made that hopeless but in a good way.

"I don't believe that. I think it was us. Diamond's chocolates were meant for me to be under HIS influence, not yours. I was right there with you. That passion is in US. When I said I want you I mean every part of you, the love, the passion, the lust, and the rougher aspects of our love making. Don't tell me you don't remember our past lives like that. We were close to the more raw animalistic passions than anything." she scoffed. He had to agree with that, "Yeah we were." Then looked down to her.

"If this gets to much, just let me know, and I'll slow down or stop, which e - " but she cut him off with a kiss, "Good now shut up and make me yours, or I'll shove my tiara up your bum." She finished smiling slyly against his lips. Her eyes shining with mirth. Mentally wincing at that threat he took her deeply in his arms, falling backwards on the bed, making sure she was beneath him, giving into his passions for her, the same ones he back burnered for months now.

They were boiling over and he knew deep down she'd be the only one to be able to handle it all, his fears were un founded, once again.

As for Usagi, she was in heaven with the man she loved. Feeling his frame above her, taking her as she had only dreamed of, even though they had their beach memory together, in there it was just that, a memory. It wasn't completely real, this however, though in her mind, was. "Mamo – chan…" She gently bit his ear lobe, earning a gasp of pleasure from him. "I swear you'll be the end of me." he muttered playfully.

She merely laughed and stripped him of his pants as fast as she could. Her pants soon followed, the simple lacy panties ending up torn and as he pulled them off in his haste to get her nude. Her smile at the action enflamed him. He took her lips in a deep kiss as his hands explored her body with slow yet erotic sensations. Wanting to memorize the contour's, being in the water hadn't completely allowed. She gasped in pleasure, her breath quickening and hitching as he explored her flesh in way he never had before.

But his teasing of her skin, even his tongue as it left her mouth and trailed down her neck was making the blonde antsy. She wanted to feel her man, and all his strength, all of what he had to offer. It wasn't till he lowered his body, dipping to cover her breasts with his lips and tongue, nibbling on them with his teeth as he suckled them. To hearing with satisfaction her content sounds, as she relax somewhat. The actions sent erotic vibs to her toes, making her grip his head in need as he left deep hickey marks on her breasts.

Making sure both breasts had had their fill, as well as his own tongue to having tasted their love buds, the small amount of sweet honey that came from them in their aroused state and making sure at least in her dreams she was marked by him. Diamond may not see it, but Usagi and he would know. The marks were all over, painting her chest as his, her breasts as either his or hers to fondle alone. It stroked a chord deep within his body, something primitive and male, that made him want to roar 'MINE!' to the world.

He ventured further down, licking and kissing a path from her navel to her womanhood. He took one look as it practically vibrated with need as her honey began slowly dripping down, begging to be licked up by his waiting tongue. She looked up to see what the holdup was when she saw his facial features. On the beach that night he had had a taste of her but due to the darkness of the night he hadn't been able to see her.

Her womanhood, was soft, pink, moist and all his. Without knowing she was looking at him he drove his tongue in. Driving it between her soft petals and lapping at the honey that flowed even more heavily than before, her breathes became faster as she tried to NOT scream, but she couldn't hold them back. Her body needed release and only he could give it to her. "Please!" she whimpered, begging for release against the on onslaught of his torturous tongue.

"You taste incredible Usako. And you feel so tight around my tongue." It was only with her he'd ever felt comfortable enough to verbalize his desires. He was normally a blunt person in daily life, but in a very NONE personal level. This was something he felt was between them and them alone, "I want to feel you come on my tongue again." He spoke into her folds, making them vibrate against his words and moving lips.

She shrieked his name in pleasure filled abandonment, the words and vibrations together, it was the driving force that made her fall over the edge, clenching her tiny muscles around his wildly moving tongue. He moaned at the sensation. "Usako…taste so amazing…" he moved back over her again. Kissing her neck his nips became small bites as he craved more of her, loosing himself to wanting to mark her neck with his bite.

"I want you inside of me Mamo – chan. Now! I wanna feel you stretching me, filling me up like NOONE else ever will." She to felt more alive and free to be the sexy, mature, erotic woman she knew she was when she was with him. A certain feeling one could only get when with someone they were incredibly close to or with their soul mate. Hearing her words, he felt the need overpowering to claim her, make love to her that was on a deeper level of commitment than what a mere ring could provide.

It was a commitment, of their body's, hearts and souls, together as one, now and forever. He hovered over her, dragging his erect and pulsating member over her folds, teasingly trying to drive them just a bit more over the edge, the feeling very torturous for them both. She whimpered, "If you don - " he plunged hard and fast into her smooth depths, unable to hold out or hold himself back any longer.

Yelling in sweet agony over finally sinking himself into her, granted again but this time not having a chocolaty concoction preventing remembrance, he then groaned in pleasure as he felt all her tiny little muscles undulating around his stiff as a brick member, as they were adjusting to the welcomed invasion. Burying his head into her shoulder to regain control over himself. If it had been to much he would want to give her a moment to adjust.

He felt her inner muscles, now adjusted, gripping him with a near over powering intent. Feeling as if he had himself back under control and ready to give her what they both needed and wanted and not harm her, or ruin the moment by losing control in other ways, he pulled his head up, feeling the muscles in his neck move fluidly despite his control over all his muscles and looked to her face.

A beautiful, sexy, glowing young woman, whom needed him to sate her was looking back at him. it stunned the earth prince, wanting to forever memorize her face in this moment but also wanting to feel the pleasure that came with it, "As much as I enjoy looking into your sweet and caring eyes…" the rest of her words were lost to him as he pulled out and gave another equally hard and fast thrust. Her head fell back with a groan of bliss against the bed.

Smiling he kept the rhythm going, letting himself go and feeling her reciprocate to his every movement. For her it was euphoria to be with her man yet again. Wrapping her legs around his waist regardless of intent or not, changed his facial features, making her wonder how far she could push her prince, making him feel as sexually charged as she felt for him. One look from his eyes to hers told him what she thought, "I will always…" thrust, "Feel charged sexually…oh kami…" retreat, thrust, clench of inner muscles, "With you."

"Everything…aahh…" thrust, clench, retreat, "Everything you do is sexy to me." he breathed, before thrusting back in. "Even when we used to study together I…" he clenched his teeth, trying to focus on his words while he slid into her tight, wet, warmth repeatedly, "Mamo – chan tell me later, make love to me now!" she moaned. The pace had been slowing down as he was trying to talk, make love, and hold himself back from coming before her.

Giving up on talking he simply let their bodies communicate their love. There would be time for words later. Right now was their souls bonding were bonding ever stronger. Feeling a deep seeded need he gripped both of her hands securely above her head, looking into her eyes to confirm it was fine, that he wasn't crossing a line, and used his other hand to pull her leg up and over his shoulder. He slid in that much deeper.

It caused them both to shudder and speed up the pace. "OH YES! MAMO - !" she began to scream, matching his pace with the same speed and nearly the same strength as he was exhibiting inside of her. Rocking her hips with him, enticing him with her approving movements against him, making his more dominate nature come to the forefront and speed up. His breathing became faster as did hers as they both raced for the brilliant, bright climax. His hard and fast thrusts powering their turbo charged climactic ending.

For them both it made it that much sweeter that they could both let go with one another. A few times before he had wondered with their super hero strengths on how much that bleed through to their everyday identities, on how that would work. As far as he was concerned, as long as he wasn't ever hurting her he could be free with her sexually.

She gasped as the multiple orgasms seemed to tear through her. Ridding wave after blinding white wave of erotic pleasure she felt the tell tale sensation of his pulsating release as an inferno like heat spread throughout her body, filling her up as no one ever would. It was that thought that gave her more happy hope of her plan, that made him more determined to NOT ever give up, to believe in her, in them, and to NOT let Diamond win.

After a few minutes of orgasmic bliss she felt her real body starting to wake up. The reality was starting to crash down upon her. He kissed her once again, "I'll see you again, my dear, sweet, loving Usako." He cradled her whole body to his own, memorizing the feel of her under him, even as he let her leg down from his shoulder and let go of his hold on her hands. They embraced one another, not letting even air between them.

"I'll never be anyone else's but yours…don't give up on us." She whimpered, a tinge of doubt, over what she had to do outside of her head still to come, "Never. Promise." He stated fiercely, not wanting her to think he'd ever falter again. One look into his eyes confirmed the truth. She smiled, then felt herself slip away from underneath him, "I love you." She whisper feather soft, but he heard her loud and clear.

She didn't hear his words, for she woke up to Diamond staring at her sleeping form. Leaning in for a kiss she blocked his now confused mouth, "Morning breath my love." She uttered to explain the halt of his lips to hers. Smiling in acute aggravation he pulled her hand away from his mouth, "I don't care." Smothering her lips under his he took them with a controlling passion, demanding entry to her inner caverns. She gave in only to appease his nature.

(I had learned over the past twoish weeks that his control issues weren't just with me, it was all around. Thankfully my stomach protested in the form of a hunger call. "Hungry?" he asked smugly. I was truly feeling famished. Though part of me yearned for my mama's homemade pancakes I got dressed, once more in my flowing white gown with the intricate gold bodice, enduring Diamond's gaze on me in our room, the whole time.

I was definitely not shy about my body anymore, I barely blushed under his avid gaze of my bare body, but I still felt shivers of disgust that he got to see me like this, that the mission that I created, included to act like it didn't matter when I preferred he never did. But he was honorable to some degree, he never moved to touch me, just seemed to admire from his position sitting on the bed. Fully dressed in his white suit, he would only smile approvingly at me as I got ready to leave his personal chambers.

Then we headed down to the dining hall where Sapphire and Rubeus already sat for breakfast themselves. We usually eat by ourselves in Diamond's rooms. But today, he wanted talk business with his most trusted soldier's. The Dining hall was not a grand affair as I was getting used to, most of the rooms in the Dark Palace were huge, overly designed monstrosities. That seemed to just promote the arrogance and pompous might of their family.

But the hall was a small, quaint room. Entering through a dark oak set of double doors, one found a central long table and chairs. A set of long windows adorned one wall, the deep red curtains pulled aside to let the meager light of Nemesis's overcast sky filter in. The two sat on opposing sides of the table, eating quietly until Diamond arrived. Then they stood and bowed respectfully to both of us.)

It's going to take me a long time to get used to this…wait…never mind…hopefully I won't HAVE to get used to it! At least not here…I wonder about that when I take my role as princess back again…will I have to? Luna would probably enforce it, the girls would either giggle over it, but accept it or worse, slipping so far into their roles as senshi, they forget that I still am or that they still are regular people. I'm not to sure on how Mamo – chan would deal with it, probably ignore it or be embarrassed by it, or the latter…accept it and let the nobility reign within him.

(Diamond sat at the head of the table, guiding me to sit at his right hand. On the corner of the long table, Sapphire was seated beside me. I paid him a small bow and smiled in courtesy, before acting distracted by the breakfast courses laid out before us. I listened intently to Diamond's new game plans to getting rid of my friends, feigning more interest in dishing up my plate. Then moving the food around and nibbling on it to avoid suspicion whenever I had to, as I memorized everything he had to say. Prepared to recite it all back to Rei on our next meeting.)

I wanted to laugh at my situation right now, not that I would…but if Luna could see me now…an avid listener, still fighting the fight without actually fighting, playing double agent for my senshi, though only known to one in particular and pretending to be the enemy WHILE playing the role of a graceful, though dark, Queen. Ha! She'd have a shocked sweat drop hovering over her head for sure!

(I looked up and all around, giving everyone at the table eye contact when necessary, to avoid people thinking me snobby. It wasn't the impression that I wanted. I wanted to win these people over, let them see what their doing was wrong, and keep my senshi informed of all the bad things they were going to do. Though I seriously was starting to not like Rubeus. He was looking at not only myself but at Diamond oddly. Made me wonder what he was thinking.)

Though it is strange to see my technical enemies, that I am aiming to save no less, eating like regular people…

Back in the present Rei was feeling very bad, not only about not telling the girls of her sessions with Usagi but also that Usagi wasn't completely evil. Her princess had her under strict orders, but not telling them made her feel like she was betraying her fellow sisters. It was also why she was training so much, to avoid thinking about the guilt she was under. She didn't have to bother with hiding it from Luna, the feline hadn't been around a lot lately.

The feline in question preferred to lick her own emotional wounds somewhere else. Though she and the girls were clueless as to how she felt she was responsible. They felt they all had played a part, though mostly Diamond, but they all had guilt over them. Not to mention she had been conversing with Ami and Minako about the dark crystal in the middle of the city. The people around it were in fear of it, but as the days passed on, people became either more fearful or more curious as to what could possibly lay within.

Ami and Minako after their first go around of it couldn't get close again unless in senshi uniform, the national guard had set up road blocks within a five block limit of it, preventing civilians from getting close. Plus according to Minako they had set up a scientific tents up for testing or researching. She wasn't to clear, her reconnaissance was from on top of a high rise building and she didn't exactly have binocular vision to zoom in on. It's why she and Ami were going there that night to see what the scientists thought they found out.

Not that they could figure out the actual scenario but if they tried to do something like touch it or let the national guard people try and attack it, they would have to come out and try to work with damage control. That crystal could let off energy enough to overpower the girls individually, they didn't want the regular people to get to close and get hurt or worse. But at least focusing on that gave her a chance to keep her mind off of her own guilt of not telling the girls.

"I made a promise." Rei chanted to herself. Hoping she could survive a few more weeks. The battle they had been through tested not only her but Usagi as well, she could see. But it was a sight to behold to see Rubeus, bow down to her. Usagi clearly was their Dark Queen, even if temporarily. She knew the other girls right afterwards were perplexed themselves, Mamoru had wanted to pound the guys face in for harming her, she had wanted to break her vow to Usagi but fear of any possible lingering enemies nearby stopped it.

Didn't make her feel any less like she was betraying the other girls. Makoto knew something was up with her actions, Ami and Minako were so busy focusing on the enemy to help destroy the crystal, hoping that by alleviating their problem with that it would help with Usagi. Of course they didn't know she knew of Usagi's plan, that she was still herself, mostly, just not in the ways that they would hope for.

As always upon the dawn, Luna found herself padding along the cement canals at the edge of Minato. She patrolled the prefecture all night, with Artemis at her side. He had taken off early just before the sun rose, needing to get back to Mina and check in. Leaving Luna to wander aimlessly, over the cold cement walkways lost in her thoughts.

Finally settling down on the other side of the metal guard rail that rimmed the dry basin of storm drains that ran towards the main Tokyo Canal. The morning commuter's heading to the train up on the street paid no noticing the glum dark feline curled up just out of reach beyond the sidewalk on the declining lip of the canal. Absently watching the sun rise into the tower's of Shibuya on the other side.

Luna on the other hand had been trying to figure out new tactics to handle Usagi safely and effectively, while still getting her charge back. She hadn't gone back to the Tsukino's, feeling that it wouldn't be right to be there without Usagi. Only once had she gone there. The family went on as if nothing was a miss, the lies Ami told to give them time working perfectly, only difference was Shingo.

He seemed concerned about things. He had after all been sabotaging her dates with Di, something she found wonderfully hilarious. He was a very observant kid, able to catch on to the subtle changes that Diamond had inflicted upon his family and his Oneesan and fought back in his own little ways. Chibi Usa was gone, Shingo now had no memory of her as Luna P's magic had faded. But he knew his sister's absence wasn't normal.

But without his oneesan there he seemed less inclined to be active, not having his oneesan there gave him little thought process to practical jokes around the house. Instead he became more monotone, more pulled back. Usagi's mother went about her day like nothing happened, but her stance to seemed off. Could feel not all was right with her daughter, the father was so busy at work that once he got wind of her 'assignment' all he could really say was 'she needs it', though it did seem as if his 'happy go lucky Di' spell had thankfully worn off.

It was like the light was slowly fading from the Tsukino household. Like a body slowly dying without its soul.

Luna bowed her head in remembrance, the moment Diamond left with Usagi it was as if the spell he had cast over them dissipated completely, leaving behind only vague thoughts that were easily pushed away. She wished she could tell them the truth, but what would the result be? Calling her a demon cat for talking, for starters, demanding where and why he took her, then possibly yelling at the cat for getting their daughter involved in her 'destiny' in the first place.

Oh and let's not forget, talking cat to be experimented on. Horrid thought's of anal probes, and electric shock ran rampant through her mind. That last one giving her shivers.

Though after the girls gave her a progress report on what happened when Usagi came back, she had a fleeting hope. Usagi even evil, wanted to protect the innocent. Though her way of 'protecting' Mamoru gave him a nasty bruise, it was better than a full attack by Rubeus, whom seemed very inclined to kill the man. The girls couldn't report much else and she didn't have much else to tell them.

She and Artemis were still so very far off from figuring out what to do with the crystal in the city, how to get Usagi back, and hope that the next time she ran into one of the girls, she could bring the broach there to react to its mistress, and hope that with even a single touch it would cleanse Usagi. After all if the silver crystal could do it to the sisters of the Dark Moon it could work on Usagi as well.

That had been an accidental find. The sister Catsy had been fighting with her sisters, they had been chasing her for whatever reason, she fled to the temple, cause after all, three against one even for evil was not very good odds. Rei had seen her defeated state, and thought to take a page from Usagi's book. She told the sister, once she tried to attack Yuricho and failed, that there was more to life than evil. Hope, happiness, love, laugher. The sister cried and asked her to help her be human.

Rei took her inside to where she hoped the sacred fire could help her. The sister saw the broach that contained the crystal. At first Rei wondered if it was a trick, and she had been fooled just as Usagi had with Diamond. But then she saw the genuine look of wanting to be good, as she reached out and merely touched it. For all of its years of being influenced by its mistresses heart, the crystal heard the cry of the good at the heart of the woman and answered her plea.

The room was filled with a bright light before dimming down to reveal a modestly clothed Catsy, looking as she felt, happy and Dark Moon energy free. Once the other sisters got there the other girls had come in as well. Seeing that instead of four evil sisters there was only three, and they looked angered that they had been abandoned by their leader in this time, abandoned by their commanding officer and left for possible death by their hands. They had wanted to attack, to yell out in anger, to make the senshi feel the pain they felt.

But in the end, they crumpled as Catsy and the rest of the girls, now untransformed, showing that they weren't there to harm or threaten them, talked to them, like rational adults. After nearly an hour of talking back and forth the girls accepted the truth, that their people obviously held no care for them if they were left for dead. And being to low on the chain of command to shimmer back to the dark kingdom let alone the planet they came from they let their hearts and souls be cleansed as well.

They had managed to find themselves a nice little place to open up a make - up and jewelry shop, partially funded by the girls, wanting the sisters to have a nice normal life. Luna was glad that even without Usagi there, all hope for cleansing the earth wasn't lost, but they would still need Usagi to rid the city of this darkness sweeping over it, little by little. The only thing keeping her in hopes was hearing that with their visits, though only two so far, that Usagi still retained a sense of herself, not letting Rubeus kill or harm Mamoru and Naru was one of them.

"OH Usagi – chan, I'm feeling terrible. If only I hadn't pushed so hard. Maybe you would have wanted to talk to me more." Of course it didn't help that she threw what focus that wasn't on Usagi seeing Mamoru, she was putting it into time with Artemis to find out more on their enemies.

It had been a long, a very humid night in the city. Luna had found a safe, hiding spot within the bushes at the back of a small play park in Azabu Juban. It was a regular meeting place for the girls, when Usagi was around. It was just two blocks away from Azabu Juban station. The most prominent marker of Amishiro Park, was the tall bronze pole with the circular clock on top, plunged into a small flower garden just before the swings. It was there, Luna had given into her exhaustion, curling up in the obscurity of the bushes.

Her dreams began as they always do, with her on the hunt. The exhilaration of the chase, the pounding of her heart against her ribs. Mind alert, senses humming as the strange fog over took her regular dash down the back alley behind Usagi's house. The dusty feel of the gravel against her pads, suddenly changed to the cold unforgiving stone of white marble. The fog lifted around her, as she found herself surrounded by elegant columns with floral headers and wide narrow square feet.

In seconds she had dashed through a huge ornate archway, accented with lavender curtains, confronted by a somber marble slab, with ancient Lunarian runes etched along a wide band. On top of the stone pyre was a silver crystal striation. The huge tomb like room was barren except for that foreboding mausoleum type stone and crystal coffin. As she drew near, her heart and mind once buzzing with excitement was now drowning in anxiety.

She could see her beloved charge...many years older. Her features matured into an elegant woman, relaxed and serene as if sleeping. Her long golden locks trailing down her sides, as she wore the regal white gown of a Silver Millennium queen, only now as the King had described it was the Silver Alliance. Upon her head was a beautiful, simple, golden crown, accented with a ruby heart jewel in the middle.

Luna sat upon the cool marble, swallowing and having a hard time breathing as it took in what seemed like the corpse of her dear, sweet Usagi. To see her charge's future self encased in crystal was over whelming. Her innocent dream now twisted into a nightmare.

She never noticed the twilight shadow that was the King, moving on translucent feet through the archway behind her.

"This is her future as it stands now." He commented, as he stood beside her. Luna raised her face towards him, her soft brown eyes shimmering with pain and regrets. "Is there anything that you can tell me that would help – something that I could tell Mamoru – san in the future in case he – you, starts to lose hope?" he smiled a sad smile.

Looking over to her he asked, "I know how he feels, if there is something I will show it to him, as for your attempt find out more information on them, I will give you this. The Queen, my Usako, we were told the results wouldn't be in for another day or two, before all this that is, but I believe as does she that we're pregnant with our second child. For the White Moon as you can understand, its unheard of for there to be more than one child in the blood line." Luna's mouth was a gap in shock.

It was true though, there was only ever one heir to the White Moon throne for every generation that had come and gone. No matter how hard previous White Moon members tried, mostly just to see nothing came of it. The King though looked proud, and a tad smug with regards with it, Luna noticed, "But I don't think they expected nor counted on one fact when it comes to men of the Earth Royal's line." Luna had quirked her head to the side in question. He looked down to the feline, "We've got good swimmers." The blush on the feline magnified at the implication.

The King seemed to have dipped into memory lane for but a moment, the smirk on his face indicated that he was remembering something more than likely not so innocent. "I can remember many a times during this time frame, we would feign headache, or stomach flu just to spend extra time together…as a couple." He seemed like he wanted to describe more so Luna put a stop to it.

Not wanting a mental picture to be built up not when it contained her charge, "Please your highness, with all due respect, if it's not rated PG then I don't want to hear it. It's not my place nor do I need the imagery. I'd rather not have to gouge my eyes out." she place a paw up in a standing 'NO! Don't tell me' formation.

He laughed, "Thank you." He said. She looked at him curiously, "I haven't had anyone but my sleeping Usako in that crystal to talk to. I pray for the day she wakes up, for the crystal that surrounds her to go away. Everyone else is under that spell, and the senshi here are expanding their energies every day." He explained. Now Luna was curious, "I do wonder, a senshi can't expend her energies indefinitely, how…?"

He smiled, "It's something to do with their star seed, something you won't know about for quite a while, that will enable them to expend their energies for as long as need be. Your senshi do have theirs, but haven't tapped into their most powerful weapons yet. They need to reconnect with their former selves in every sense before they can." Luna nodded in understanding, however at the moment wallowing in memories of seeing the King in the future would do her no good in the long run.

She rose off the warm cement of the canal, her tiny feet slapping a crescendo as she dashed into the dawn light disappearing along the outer rim of the embankment heading back into Minato. A new determination to drag her beloved charge back from the Dark Moon at all costs, the future depended on her making the right decision's now.

Sitting on a tiled roof top of small cafe, she noticed a dark blue haired man walking about in a navy uniform, headed towards Ami. The girl stood at a bus stop, dressed conservatively in a pair of loose jeans and simple untucked white blouse. Luna saw them converse for a short amount of time, but due to her position so high up saw no facial reactions, and once she saw a compliance from Ami she left the building.

She trusted the young bookworm, and senshi of waters and knowledge, to know what to do, but decided to keep nearby just in case she called for help. "It's not like I can do much from where I am anyways." She muttered in annoyance to herself. She looked up to find Mamoru's apartment building rising up close by.

Feeling the need to see him or at least rest her tired eyes and mind, and knowing it wouldn't be to far from Ami she headed to his building. A minute of careful running and jumping later she landed on his balcony, padding her paw against the glass. The door thankfully pushed aside, unlocked, since he was nearly at the top floor, head hanging low with exhaustion she silently walked in.

By now his place had been cleaned up, no sign of glass anywhere, but there was a stain on the floor by the balcony window. Curious she moved over to it, and with a tentative sniff. By scent alone, she recognized it as an alcoholic drink. "Oh Mamoru – san…" she felt bad for the man.

Meanwhile as Ami walked down the road, with another back pack full of books from the Azabu Library, the endless hours of study, and her summer cram school lately were making her want to crash and burn for a few hours, at least. Plus with her mom on constant call at the hospital she wouldn't have to worry about her in an interrogation when she got home.

Even her mother that hardly saw her with hospital work noticed her sudden disposition lately. So at this point, a canceled cram class was a god send, so she could crash in bed and give her mind rest sounded good.

The side walk was crowded, as she strode up to the bus stop. Yet the dark blue haired man that she felt a shift in the air. A wary warning of a possible threat. He stopped a few feet a head of her. Already the sense that he seemed to know who she was before she knew who he was un nerved her. His look was that of contemplation, but it was obvious by his facial features that he knew whom she was. And NOT just as Ami. It made her wary of whom she had just run into and if she should call for back up.

It also made her wonder if he sought her out of literally just ran into her. Sounding a bit bored and tired of things he stated monotone, "I'm not one for subtleties, so I'll drop the pretences of you JUST being Mizuno, Ami, and me just being a random stranger and get to the point. I know who you are when not Ami - chan, and what you've lost recently. If you want help in getting her back then I'll need your help, Sailor Mercury."

Stunned by his boldness on the subject, she held her breath as he moved his long bangs aside with a hand revealing the upside down crescent moon on his forehead, she knew he had to be Dark Moon. The sisters had theirs right before they went good. "And you are?" she demanded, looking around to ensure there were no civilians present, no need to endanger anyone else nor let them know what was going on. "I'm Sapphire, Diamond's younger brother." She gasped in surprise and shock.

After all why would he be willing to help them? "Do you - " he held his hand up to stop her, "I'd rather have this conversation where there's no chance of anyone and I do mean anyone finding us talking. For us its considered treason to meet with the enemy without Diamond's approval." She nodded and wearily joined him to a more remote location. Still fearful of him turning on her but so far he hadn't tried to lay a hand nor try to harm her.

Soon he ducked into a secluded alley way, Ami rolled her eyes at the irony of it all, before slipping into the narrow alcove between two restaurants. The brick was hot and irritated her skin beneath her flimsy blouse. The air musky and oily from the dumpster's lurking against the chain link fence at the back of the alley. She was mere feet from him, craning her face up to stare sternly at his impassive face.

She spoke up, "Why not anyone, the other senshi - " he cut her off, "My plan maybe to help you get your human back I still do have intents to help my brother take back our place here in this world. The one we were banished from. Your kind did just that to our ancestors just for existing, this is personal retribution for us." He calmly snarled to her. Ami narrowed her eyes, "You really don't know?"

He narrowed his eyes now, "Know what?" he asked, pensively, "The White Moon, our princess, or future Queen…"Ami offered, "Banished your ancestors not for existing, but because they threatened the very future, the world. They didn't want peace, they wanted power, and saw earth as weak place to take, so they attacked, forcing the Queen's hands." Sapphire nearly smiled, "Our planets give us different history lessons." He didn't believe her, which for someone so brainwashed she knew would be a possibility.

"No, not just talk Sapphire, we were shown the truth of it. The pain of it. You can't make up recorded images." She spoke, a calmness to her, "We can live in co – existence you know. But living with dark powers within you will only increase your need for more power. The rest of the people that brought on the attack on so many years, ago, from the timeline you came from, accepted the cleansing from the Queen. They wanted peace. Not more death and war."

Her explanation was making Sapphire question what he was told for years on end. After all its kind of hard to forget years, or more or less what you were taught your whole life, of what you were told was truth, and now find out your entire past and the history you came from may have been a lie all along. "Were not here to harm anyone, to banish away people willing to be good and fight for what's right, but…" Ami's tone became confident.

"We will do whatever it takes to keep the people here safe and happy. To let them live and lead normal lives, have families, be well and not live in fear or scrutiny." He didn't move. Unsure as to his threat to still take back earth was a 100% accurate now. "There's a man, he acts as our Seer, his name is Wiseman and I think he's planning something against us. I just have no conceptional knowledge. But I do have information that I don't trust in the hands of our people." She looked at him curiously.

"He is everywhere and there's just too much risk for me to have them translate this book." He held out the ancient tomb, he had braced against his hip. Ami glanced down at it as if it was going to bite her. "But you…" he pushed the book towards, "Might be able to." He kept the book steady towards her, urging her silently to take it. Ami debating for a moment, sighed and took two steps forward before he pulled it back.

"I want your word that you'll NOT tell a soul. I am already in what you might call a precarious position, and I could be killed for my actions, but I'd rather die knowing I could deliver a warning to my brother on the Wiseman before its to late." Ami was rather surprised.

"You love your brother don't you?" it wasn't an out of the world question, but in certain circumstances, siblings tended to drift apart and loathe one another. "He's my only real family left. Rubeus is more of an out of control cousin rather than an immediate family member." She nodded before smiling. "The girls are like my sisters, I love them as much. If it weren't for Usagi – the human you dislike, I wouldn't be where I am." He furrowed his brows.

"Usagi – chan, is a good person with a big heart and a wonderfully sunny disposition. She goes out of her way to help those in need. Before I met her, I was a sad little thing. Nearly to afraid to cross the street without looking ten times over. Now I fight evil and help protect the city, and I couldn't be more grateful for the friends and sisters I now have." Sapphire, looked at her hard, wondering if a part of 'Usagi' still remained inside of her as his brother's Dark Queen, considering the times that she acted differently.

"Meet me here in three days to see if I've deciphered the book. I can analyze it and, what?" she asked looking to his scrutiny, "The senshi of Mercury needs a few days?" he scoffed, rumors of her advanced intelligence made him wonder how advanced she was in the past compared the to future he was in. Feeling angered by his response she shot back, "I have to avoid the other senshi remember? We're still working on some concepts when it comes to Usagi - chan." he nodded conceding her point. As he was about to walk out he bitterly remembered something.

"The sisters…" he asked, looking to her as she put the book in her shoulder bag, "Are they…?" he began, to this she smiled, "Their fine. Living normal lives, and loving it. Though I do wonder about Prisma." She stated in concern. He looked to her more intently, "Why?" he tried to sound un caring. The one sister he actually still held deep feelings for. The others, good friends but her…she was different to him.

"She seems sad, she is free. But she if finding it hard to move fully into her new life, something is missing. Our Mi – senshi of Venus thinks her hearts missing her true love, but Venus thinks that way about everyone who's sad like that." Ami giggled, thinking Mina was a bit love crazed, but that kinda was her job description as Venus. "But she loves being here, being free. She's in a catch 22 I guess, if he's still in the future and can't be with him."

The bluenette explained to him, her eyes smiling as if she may have made a connection that normally only Minako would have been able to. He turned around not trusting his own voice, "Shall I tell her you're fine and that you still care for her?" she questioned slyly. He turned around stunned that his walls concerning Prisma weren't as closed off as he thought, "Please do so." No use denying it now.

Turning fully back around he walked forward once again. This time there was no thoughts of if he would attack, they needed each others intel and support.

"There's going to be a huge shift soon within our group but how it effects all of us I don't know. But I do know one thing…" he told her, "Once that crystal is large enough, it will make the balances shift, I just hope, for your sake as well as ours, that I'm wrong about Wiseman having an ulterior plan." She nodded seeing how serious and life threatening he felt this was, "I hope so to, good luck Sapphire - san." She gave him the respect with the ending part. He nodded and shimmered away, leaving Ami stunned with what had just happened.
