Blueeyeddevil06, thank you for being my beta!

Rita sat at the counter of the arcade, "So, Luna is interesting."

Andrew looked up at her abruptly and set down the glass he was drying. "They told you?"

"Yeah. I found out last night during girls' night. It was… a lot to take in," she said, letting out a long breath afterward.

"True, but you need to know."

"You're right, and I'm glad you insisted on them telling me."

He smiled at her, "I want you involved."

"Did I ever tell you how sexy it is that you watch out for me?"

"Wha…?"

She gave him a seductive look, "You're off in ten minutes. Meet me at my place. The safe word is 'milkshake'."

"Milkshake?! What?"

"Apparently, it's been suggested before. I like it." She then winked at him and made her way to the door. She turned right before she exited and said, "I have plans for you. You'll find them… exciting." She then walked out the doors.

With all the crazy going on lately, Darien was more than glad to be sitting in a lecture taking notes. That said, the normalcy was nice, but he wouldn't change his life for anything. Not when it meant having Serena's amazing love. He took a sip of the coffee that she'd brought him and smiled. He was happy, and that was all because of her.

Lita laughed as she stood quickly, and Nephrite twitched. He'd learned something new about her when he'd come back to himself in this life. While she was happy to explore a relationship with him, she still had times where she'd think about the past, get pissed off, and attack him. It kept him on his toes.

She laughed at him and said, "I was just getting some water. You want some?"

"Sure." He wasn't fooled, though, by her mild tone. When the water bottle came careening at his head from the kitchen, he caught it easily and thanked her. She walked in and rolled her eyes at him, "I'm going to have to get more creative."

"Or we could just outright spar," he suggested mildly.

She laughed and shook her head, "No, Kunzite warned me about that one. He mentioned how much you liked that."

"Ass."

"You did torture his wife."

Nephrite sighed, "I guess I earned that one."

Serena looked at Mina, smiling, "Sooooo, you should be super happy. We all have our soulmates. You and Raye even discovered that Rick and Molly are soulmates too!"

"You're right. I am happy. I realize that I pushed too hard before. I just wanted this so badly."

"How is your husband?"

"Amazing. Sometimes I have him taking me out dancing. You have no idea how possessive he can be. It's so sexy and gets me so hot!"

Serena giggled, "Did he like the Catwoman costume?"

"So much! It was a lot of fun." She looked at Serena seriously, "How are you, my princess? Is Darien treating you well?"

"It's all kinda overwhelming. He's not publicly very outgoing, but when it's just the two of us… He constantly tells me how much he loves me and how special I am to him. We might not remember our past, but I can't imagine being loved more than I am now."

Mina sighed happily, "We just need to beat Beryl, and then we can get on with our lives and our love. I'm so excited for the future."

"I'm worried about the future," Luna said, cuddling up to Artemis.

"Why? It feels like everything is on track."

"Elis and Beryl. They won last time. I can't watch my princess die. I get sick just thinking of it."

Artemis nuzzled her and said, "Everything is going to be alright, my love. We aren't being taken by surprise, and Serena can fight this time. We have the upper hand."

Luna leaned against him, sighing, "I hope you're right."

Takashi watched the homemade porno he had made with Beryl. It excites him to see himself get to dominate her and bite her.

"You really enjoyed that," she said, startling him.

"I'd ask how you got in, but I don't give a fuck. You're overdressed."

She smiled at him and dropped her dress to the floor. "I was bored and decided I needed some entertainment tonight."

"Hands and knees facing the tv. I want to fuck you as I watch us having sex."

She smirked and did what he said. She would let him have control for now. Once he was in D Point, she would dominate him and be calling the shots.

Before she left, she infected him with more dark energy, and this time it seeped into him more quickly. She was pleased that meant she was getting closer to her goal.

Nephrite cursed as he flopped down on the chair in the apartment he was renting. Everything felt so fucking awkward for him.

Mina insisted they were alright, and she didn't have any hard feelings. Even Kunzite agreed and patted him on the back, telling him to stop brooding and "get the girl."

No one made him feel like they couldn't forgive him. Well, no one except himself. He hated what he'd done to Mina and Lita.

He ran his fingers through his hair and hissed out in frustration. He was the one making this hard on himself, and he felt like everyone had let him off too easily. He wanted to hurt over what he'd done.

Raye sat staring at the Great Fire and heard Jadeite walk into the room then felt him sit next to her. "What are you asking the Great Fire?"

She let her concentration drop, and she sighed, then looked at him. "What to do about my father. I get he's becoming this horrible man, but…."

"Darien told me about the conversation Serena had with him."

"Yeah, we talked too. She's right. He's a jackass, but people don't get killed for that."

"He is Elis. He's the reason we all died."

Raye laid her head on his shoulder. "If he's that evil man, then why does Beryl have to 'wake' him? Wouldn't he already be evil? I've seen him lately. He's changing and becoming worse. As bad as he was, this isn't him."

"What do you want?"

She shook her head and sighed, "I don't know…. I do know that my life is better without him in it. I'm not fond of the idea of patricide, though."

Lita had received a phone call from Kunzite telling her that Nephrite was beyond being broody and heading towards self-sabotage. Mina had then grabbed the phone out of his hand and said that she needed to forgive him and show him how much good there was now that he was no longer serving beryl.

Now she was standing inside of his crappy tiny studio apartment and staring at someone who was obviously a far way into a downward spiral. He looked haunted.

She was pissed.

"You're just going to sit here?" she hissed.

He looked up at her with a distant expression, "I hurt you, Lita. I tortured Mina."

"You were fine before," she didn't understand how the man who'd flirted and was so sweet to her had turned into what was in front of her.

"I've had time to think about the past."

Lita's shoulders sagged. She was tired of fighting, tired of resisting the deep pull she felt to him constantly. Mina kept telling her that he was her destiny and that she was safe with him. Safe loving him. She watched Amy and Raye find deep love and saw how right Mina had been about them and their other halves. It was time for her to get out of her head, too, and trust in true love.

She pulled off her shirt and tossed it to the side and watched as Nephrite's eyes blew wide. "What the…"

She smirked as she pulled off her skirt and tossed it too. "I'm going to beat the broodiness out of you."

"But you're in your bra and panties…. Damn, are you sexy, Lita."

She gave him a heated look and smirked, "It's about to get better. Strip." She then pulled off her bra.

Nephrite swallowed hard. His mouth had gone dry. His pants had also gotten uncomfortably tight. "What are you….?"

"Strip," she commanded again. "I'm going to kick your ass, and clothes will just get in the way." She then pulled off her panties, and she was stark naked.

Nephrite pulled off his shirt as he looked at her naked body. He loved her, but he also wanted to touch her hot, sexy body like a man full of lust and longing for a hot sexy woman. She was every bit the seductress that men chased after. He then pulled off his pants, freeing room for his hard cock.

She licked her lips and said, "You have an amazing six-pack. I'm still going to beat your ass."

"What do you have planned?" He then pulled off his boxers, and they were both naked.

She dropped down to sweep out her leg, knocking his feet out from under him and dropping him to the floor. She then stood quickly and smirked down at him. "From what I hear, you know how this game goes. You're finally flat on your back, naked."

He looked up at her tentatively, "How far does this go?" He was content to lay there for the moment.

She bent down and licked his cock like a popsicle and then stood back up. She smiled when she heard him making a sound that was like a strangled choking sound. She then locked eyes with him as she stood back up, and she noticed his eyes were focused on her boobs. She smiled.

"Whoever wins is on top when the sex starts. That is if I have your consent."

He nodded and said, "I'm yours to do with whatever you wish." He then startled her by grabbing her wrist and pulling her down on top of him, rolling over on top of her and pressing his body to hers. "Or are you mine to play with?" He might be full of self-condemnation, but she was so sexy, and he wanted her. He could put that aside to give them what they both wanted.

She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him passionately, then one of her hands slipped into his hair, tugging the strands and getting him to moan. His hands went to her sides, caressing her hips and luxuriating in her soft skin. Before he knew what had happened, he was on his back with her smiling down triumphantly at him. "Seems I'm winning."

"As if I could ever complain about losing like this," he teased.

She then hopped up and went running to his bed and leaped on it, facing him. "Coming?"

He stalked towards her, and before she could make a move to get him, he slid one finger inside of her womanhood and groaned. "You're so wet for me already. You have no idea what that fact does to me." He then flicked her clit, and she arched her back and moaned.

It was then he decided that he wasn't going to let her win this one. He wanted to overwhelm her and get her to come undone underneath him. He needed to drive her wild. She deserved everything he could give her. He added another finger and played with her clit. As she writhed and fisted the sheets, he gave her a cocky smile. "You don't stand a chance of winning this one now. Not when I have you like this."

Next, he removed his fingers and spread her legs, and licked her pussy. "You taste amazing." He then did things to her that he remembered her liking from their shared past. Something she'd never experienced in this life. He focused on her pleasure and had her screaming out in ecstasy. When he worked her up and then sucked on her clit, bringing her to an orgasm, she was fisting his hair and moaning out his name. She'd been begging him for more all the way up to the moment she climaxed.

Before she could recover from him bringing her to bliss with his tongue, he moved up her body and thrust his hard cock into her, breaking her barrier and cursing out in pleasure. "You're so fucking tight."

They made love and orgasmed together while a single tear slipped down Lita's cheek. "Perfect," she whispered after she got her breath back. She then rolled to look at him and said, "You're moving out of here and in with me. I won't be separated from you anymore. Someone has to watch out for you when you get all broody."

"Are you sure?" He asked tentatively.

"Completely."

His look then transformed into a smile, and he declared, "By the way, I won."

She shrugged lightly, "I have time to still come out on top."
