"I See Right Through To You" DJ Encore feat. Engelina

Her blond hair was so soft, like silk, and his fingers glided though them so easily. He couldn't do anything but watch her sleep, no matter how anxious he was. Just having her in his arms was enough for now. There was a small comfort in the fact that his name was the first she had uttered from her lips.

"Usagi." He whispered, sliding his fingers from her hair to her cheek, lightly running them over the smooth surface. She smiled at his touch, as if she were familiar with it. Of course she had been, thousands of years ago. And now it was real, she could feel him, and when she awoke, see him. How he had waited for this moment, so many years, so much pain. 'Many thanks.' He silently thanked the Moon Queen, for giving him a second chance. Time seemed to stop as her eyelids flickered, slowly opening. He stared into a pair of sapphire eyes that were the most beautiful shade of blue, and lips that he had know so well, formed a smile.

"Duo." Her voice spoke softly, meeting his gaze. He smiled and pulled her in a strong embrace, afraid she would disappear again. She melted into his arms, placing her own around his neck, feeling his around her waist. There were no words spoken between the two, just the touch, knowing that it was real. Tears stung her eyes as memories flooded her mind, memories of him, the only one she could possibly love. With closed eyes as shields, she rested her chin on his shoulder, letting them tail down her cheeks.

Duo could hear her soft sobs, and leaned back so he could look at her, tilting her chin up, staring into her eyes once again. He whipped a stray tear from her eye, and leaned forward, claiming her lips with his, tasting the sweet kiss once again. He didn't know how long they had been kissing, but it wasn't long enough to satisfy him. Reluctantly he pulled away, to whisper "Ai shiteru Usa-chan." before kissing her again.

"Soo, what are we going to do now?" Minako questioned icily, brushing her long blond tressels, staring her reflection in the mirror, still upset at being rejected by Duo.

"I have some ideas." The cold male voice spoke from behind.

"Hontoo Jadeite?"

"Hai."

The senshi of Venus smirked, placing down her brush, turning to face him, placing a hand on her hip. "Tell me."

He chuckled, leaning back into his chair. "You'll know soon enough my love."

"Does it include me?" She gave him an inciting smile, moving slowly toward him.

"Maybe." He answered smoothly, staring up at her, then pulled her onto his lap, and began kissing her neck.

Luna bowed her head, saddened at what the senshi had just told her. She sat outside of the Hikawa Shrine, staring at the city lights, more confused really. Their Princess was truly out of their reach now, and there was nothing any of them could to change it. Shinagami had made sure they stayed away from her. Now it was too late. Or was it? Maybe she had remembered him before them, but there was still a chance she would choose them? Wasn't there? So many questions, it was giving her a headache. "Luna?" She heard Artemis, and glanced at him, then closed her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

She sighed, shaking her head. "What are we going to do now Artemis? Serenity-hime has to choose between us, and I fear she will choose otherwise."

The white cat blinked, unsure of how to answer, feeling slightly guilty for aiding Duo in his tests. He knew he wasn't supposed to interfere at all, but he wasn't going to force Usagi to be something she didn't want, the Queen wouldn't want that. "We can't force her to be Serenity-hime Luna." He said finally. "She has a choice, and we must respect whatever choice she makes."

"I know." The feline nodded.

In a blaze of fury, a tea cup when flying across the room until it hit the wall, shattering into tiny pieces.

"Rei-chan, please clam down." Makoto pleaded, trying to keep her dark-haired friend from losing more temper than she could handle. The young priestess, also the Senshi of Mars glared at her, her fists clenched tight.

"How could I possibly stay clam Mako-chan, we have lost our Princess to Shinagami!" She yelled. "If anything, I blame myself for letting that happen, for letting him keep us from her."

Makoto frowned, displeased with how immature her teammate was acting, it was like a child throwing a tantrum. "This is very childish Rei." She scolded her voice harsh. "Breaking tea cups and shouting won't solve a thing. In case you haven't noticed, we have other things to do than just being Sailor Senshi. Yes that is important, just as our Princess is, but we also have lives to live. Think about it." She said before leaving the room without another word.

Rei watched her go, stunned by her words. It made her feel embarrassed, but Makoto was right, she had been acting very stupid. She looked at the broken tea cup, and walked over to it, sitting on her knees as she began picking up the chips. There had to be a way to get their Princes back, there just had to be.

Mamoru had seen what had happened; Usagi was in the arms of that guy with the braid. He knew it, just by looking out the sky scraper window of the fancy bar, he could see them. He had so much rage he wanted to jump right though the window, across to the next building, and pull her away from him. She had to be his, and no one else's. He smirked; black mail was always a good tool in the game.

"What's so funny Mamoru?" His friend Motoki asked, arching an eyebrow. "You're not drunk yet are you."

"Iie, just thinking." He replied, taking a sip of his brandy, licking his lips.

Usagi took the offered hand in front of her, and Duo helped to her feet. "It's really you; you're not just a memory." She spoke softly, interlacing their fingers, and touched his cheek with her other hand.

A sultry smile curved Duo's lips. "I'm more than just a memory Usa-chan."

"Hai." She giggled, feeling him give her hand a squeeze. "No wonder you seemed so familiar to me."

"There are so many things I have to tell you, but now is not the time." He said, pulling her into his arms again.

She rested her head on his chest. "You mean that fact that you're Shinagami."

He nodded. "There's much you don't know."

"I'd like to."

His eyes sadden for a brief moment; he shrugged it off, losing himself in her scent of tea roses. "I know."

"Duo?"

"Ne?"

Usagi looked up at him, her eyes flickering. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said instantly, and kept an arm around her waist while he used his other hand to take the cross of his neck. "I think this belongs to you." He grinned, using both hands to put the chain on, where it rightfully belonged.

Usagi glanced at it then back at him. "Arigato Duo."

They had been up all night, just being the idol couple everyone envied. Usagi and Duo didn't care, they had found each other again, and that was all that mattered. It was a wonder that they made it school on time. Her mother would be upset with her, she knew that, but she'd deal with that later. For now, all she could think about was that Duo was there with her, and they made it on time for class. She knew there was something she was forgetting, but at the moment, she just couldn't remember was it was. Usagi sat at her desk, with Duo beside her, thinking that she had to stay awake, and not fall asleep in class.

The teacher entered a minute later, followed by what appeared to be a new student. "Class we have another exchange student from Hong Kong." He informed the class, gesturing towards the guy.

Usagi studied him, he had jet black hair tied into a very tight pony tail, black eyes, tanned skin, very cute indeed. She looked at Duo, only to see that he his eyes were wide with surprise.

He stared at the class, his face blank. "My name is Chang Wufei, an honor to meet you." He said flatly.

With a nod, the teacher pointed to the two empty desks in front of her and Duo, and a he took a seat a moment later. She wanted to ask Duo was that was all about, but class had started, and she had no choice but to pay attention.

When class ended, the Chinese guy picked up his books, and left the room without so much as a glance to anyone.

"Duo-kun, why were you so surprised to see that guy?" She asked, getting her books together.

He shrugged. "I tell you later." He said, waiting for her.

"Alright." She agreed, and left the room with him.

Hand in hand they walked through the halls until they reached the door. Usagi wondered why girls were giving her dirty looks. Sighing, she bowed her head. "Why is everyone looking at me like that?" She asked no one in particular.

"Like what?" Duo arched an eyebrow.

"I'm not sure, it's just really mean."

Duo chuckled and pulled her against him with his free hand. "Don't pay any attention to them." He reassured her. She nodded, smiling slightly, before he kissed her. Again they lost track of how long they were kissing until Usagi heard a familiar voice.

"Usagi!" A voice shouted.

"Nani?" She turned, and gasped with shock. "Seiya!"
