"I know a way where I can grant some of your wish

"I know a way where I can grant some of your wish. I can help you make this Usagi look like a fool and show her how much power your soul has. She will realize that your soul can conquer and that you and so much stronger than she ever thought."

The child's face beamed.

"Really? Oh, thank you so much! Why would you take time out of your life to help me?" Chibi Usa questioned him, puzzled.

"Because, I have to clear up some business with her anyway." He laughed slightly.

"Thank you, Prince…?" Small Lady tried to remember the man's name.

"Diamond, Lady Serenity, it's Prince Diamond." He corrected her.

"Well, thank you, Prince Diamond."

The prince took the young child's hand and walked her out into the middle of the room.

"What are we doing?" she asked him inquisitively, but the prince remained silent.

Diamond took a deep breath, inhaling the dark energy of the Black Crystal. As he allowed this to enter his body, he took his hand and ran it across the child's eyes, closing them gently as to not over-expose them to the light of the Black Crystal.

Pressing all of his body's black energy to his hands, Diamond poured it into Chibi Usa's body. Then, stepping away from her blackened form while still projecting energy into it, he smiled in satisfaction as he watched.

Slowly, her body began to stretch out, thinning and growing taller. Without knowing it, Chibi Usa was levitating in the air a few inches off of the ground, spinning slightly as her body began to transform. Her muscles protruded through her slender limbs, making her appear as an athletic. The breasts that were barely visible burst from her chest, round and curvaceous. Her waist dipped in at the hips, thickening out for her round buttocks and down again for her thighs. Her skin tanned a bit, making her look a honey-golden color. The golden moon on her forehead shattered as if it was crystal itself, and was replaced with a glossy reversed black moon. The eyes embedded on her face slanted a little, and thinned out to accustom her elongated adult face. Involuntarily thrusting her hand into the air, her nails shot out from her fingers and glistened with deep crimson polish.

The girl's body fell to the ground, but she caught herself in a squat position, bouncing to her feet again.

Diamond, sighing with relief that it was over; his body couldn't spare so much black energy or he would weaken himself.

Chibi Usa looked up to Diamond's face, totally surprised and baffled all at the same time. She walked closer to the prince, oblivious to the fact that her clothes had ripped in the growth process and stood there in the nude. Diamond, however, wasn't oblivious. He was quite aware that she was naked, and was trying not to look at her body, new and alive by the black energy. Though the energy was a wicked one, it seemed to have an effect on her and made her seem more gorgeous than if she had grown by nature.

"Prince Diamond, w-what just happened? I'm- I'm gorgeous! What did you do to me?!?" she was almost alarmed by the fact that she look beautiful. Though her body was very different, her voice remained much the same.

"It's so much easier to accept extra energy in your adult form, Chibi Usa." The prince told her simply. He looked down at her scornfully at the sound of her voice.

"Now, I must give you your adult emotions. You can't fully access it all with a body that doesn't fit your personality. In other words, if you have an adult body, you must have the adult senses and emotions, the education and intelligence of an adult. Not that you don't have that already. I just have to sharpen your senses for it." He added when he saw the insulted look upon her face, true he didn't know why he was being so kind to her.

"Alright… what do I have to do?" she questioned him willingly.

Diamond smiled.

"You just have to accept the thoughts of adulthood, of womanhood, just know that you are a woman now… and don't be afraid. I have to kiss you, but only to give you the same emotions that I acquired from adulthood, but the black energy will accustom it to your soul. Just trust me, Lady Serenity." Grasping her hand in his for comfort after seeing the fear in her eyes, he leaned to her.

As their lips greeted, he found he didn't have to force the kiss as much as he did when he kissed Emerald. The Black Crystal's energy flowed between the two, Diamond knew she was getting her emotions as her hand brushed against his cheek, then fell back to her side. He didn't know why she had done that, but he thought… maybe, it was the hypnosis that the crystal placed her in while she was transforming… Or maybe…

The bursts of dark karma ended, though Diamond's kiss lingered a few seconds longer.

Opening his eyes, he backed away.

"So, Lady Serenity, how do you feel?" he asked her inquiringly.

"I feel so- alive!" the woman looked to him with sparkling red eyes, the fire of her soul so evident. And she was right- she did look fresh and alive… so new. "You have no idea, Prince! It's amazing- so incredible!"

Reaching over to the bed, he fetched a silk sheet and wrapped it around her body, rubbing her side momentarily to ensure warmth and comfort. The maroon bed sheet matched the color of Chibi Usa's face.

"There you are. I'll get you something to wear tomorrow." He told her. He didn't know why he was being so kind to her. The prince had no idea where his usual poise was. It was just gone.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the prince got a pang for the woman. He didn't have any clue where it came from. Maybe it was the way she looked. Yes, it had a lot to do with her looks. She looked so much like Neo Queen Serenity, and yet she had her own look. It wasn't quite as regal and had more of a sexy edge to it. The way her pink hair flowed softly over her honey-tinted shoulders reminded him of something exotic. Her eyes weren't as large and innocent, but they held the same impish shimmer, yet with a wild, more fiery demeanor. He was really drawn in by those eyes.

And the most surprising part about it was that though he didn't think he wanted to have a pang for her, he tried to think of the Queen, and he shivered, but his mind shot back to the beauty standing in front of him. Diamond had very strong emotions for Neo Serenity, but could not seem to locate any of them at the moment. The presence of the Lady Serenity, no longer a small lady, seemed to make him lose track of everything else. The prince had no notion of what could be causing the reaction, but something was.

It wasn't just the outer beauty, either. In the pit of his stomach, Diamond could feel something that he had never felt before. Or maybe he had, but he wasn't able to think of it at all being in the now wicked Lady's presence. Since he first saw her, the feeling was there, he realized, though he hadn't noticed it then.

"So, prince, what now?" the woman asked him.

"Diamond." He stated without realizing.

"Wha…?" she was perplexed.

"Call me Diamond." He smiled at her, hoping his desire for her wasn't evident.

"Yes, prince." She replied too quickly to pay attention to her reaction.

"Diamond." He said once more, with still a smile chiseled on his face.

"Yes… Diamond." She giggled. Her voice was deeper, yet it retained the same young tones to it. Diamond almost sighed at the voice, all of the sudden, not knowing why he felt like this out of the blue.

"And what do you wish to be called, Lady?" he asked her kindly.

"Chibi Usa… oh, hell, I don't want to be named after that half-hearted wench anymore. Would you help me pick out a name?" the reasonably tall woman asked of him.

Diamond was almost flattered. Again, not knowing where his regal stance left off to, he ignored it and set to work to figure out a name for the woman.

"Do you think that since I have the black moon on my forehead, and that means I am part of the black moon family…" she stopped.

"Yes…?" the prince urged her to go on.

"..and the black moon family all have gemstone names… well, I was wondering if maybe I could bear the name of a gemstone as well." She queried with a bold expression that placed Diamond in a state of awe.

"I'd be honored if you would take my-our name as yours." The prince began reciting engagement vows, then covered up in embarrassment.

"Now… what shall it be?"

"I believe you should keep 'Lady' in it so that people know you as a person of regality. Don't you think?" he suggested.

"Great idea, Diamond. Now what could it be… hm… I'm not very good at naming gemstones…" the lady pondered.

"How about Ebony?" Diamond offered a suggestion.

"Lady Ebony! Oh, it's beautiful!" Chibi Usa exclaimed and smiled.

"It's very beautiful. It fits you perfectly." He gazed to her eyes, longingly.

Lady Ebony noticed the desire in his eyes. For the first time in her life, she got a ripple of hunger through her body. Following the instincts of the adult emotions, she smiled.

"You really think so, prince?" she inquired, walking up to him, becoming closer and closer to his body, which by now was aching for her.

"Yes, Ebony. I do. And it's Diamond." He whispered to her, his hand reaching up to brush against her face. Leaning into him, she felt his lips and hers greet into a kiss. Something seemed to explode as they kissed, a sudden passion awaking in both of them, greater than either one of them could have ever imagined. Their tongues danced as they both leaned into one another, pressing their bodies together. Their hands held each other tight, Diamond gently taking hold of her face and her waist and her pulling at his chest and behind his head, softly stroking her fingers through his silver hair.

As hunger took a fierce hold on both of them, they broke apart at the lips and he began to kiss her neck and shoulders. Ebony let out a small gasp as his tongue brought waves of delight across her skin. She ran her tongue along his neck to taste the sweetness of his skin. With his hand, Diamond ran it along the curve of the blanket which covered Ebony. He swiftly smoothed it off of her shoulders onto the ground, leaving her entirely nude. She just smiled at his actions. Walking towards him, Ebony backed him onto the bed. Straddling him for a second, she felt the heated lump of his erection through his pants as she took off his shirt. Then she had to remove herself from the straddle position, for he tempted her too much with his warm throbbing shaft beneath her.

Running her fingers over his chest, she bent down and kissed it up and down. Sitting beside him, she took his finger and placed it into her mouth and circled it with her tongue. Pulling it in and out in soft, sexual motions, he let out a gasp of ecstasy. Ebony took his finger from her mouth and went to the zipper of his pants. Pulling it down slowly, her fingers lingered across it, tempting him with her leisurely pace. Pulling his pants down slightly, she rubbed her hands inside of the zipper, slowly and gently. Diamond sucked in his breath as he tried not to cry out in hunger. She played with him a bit longer until he gasped loudly, sounding as if he couldn't take it anymore, which he couldn't.

Right before he entered her, he gave her a loving kiss on the lips. As their bodies came as one, a fire blazed within them. They held an intense power together and each one of them felt it. Neither knew what it was, but it was certainly there.

As they embraced each other in the dark of the night, Diamond pulled a blanket over her and scooted her closer to his body to smell her and feel the warmth of her body against his. He didn't know what had come over him, but it felt so good and he figured he would deal with it in the morning. It felt too good to worry about it right then.

As dawn rose, Diamond yawned himself awake. The morning seemed more intense, and yet lighter than before. Something smelled sweet, and the prince breathed it in deep. Hearing a breath behind him, his eyes went wide.

Turning over slowly, hoping it wasn't Emerald, he looked with disdain. He took back the look immediately once he saw the sweet face he had turned to. Ebony's eyes gazed up at him lovingly, her hand reaching to his chest.

Diamond couldn't fight the smile that came to his face, nor could he help the kiss he planted on her forehead. For some reason, something inside of him wouldn't let him be mean to her. She was, in fact, the only one he had been truly kind to in many years.

Running his fingers through her hair, Diamond was impulsed to say something.

"Good morning, Ebony." A grin still invaded his face, though he didn't try and fight it as much.

"Good morning, Diamond. How did you sleep?" Such a caring thing to say! He thought. Blushing, his smile grew broader.

"Very well, thank you. And you?" Pulling her closer to him, he asked her kindly.

"Wonderfully." She cooed, feeling his warm body pull hers to him comfortingly, not aware of his unusual reaction to her soft voice.

They lay there for a moment, without words and yet they both said so much.

Sitting upright, Diamond stretched and yawned lightly.

"Diamond, I hate to be irritating, but do you have anything I can wear until I find something else?" Ebony asked politely. Diamond was not offended.

"Yes, I believe you can wear my silk robe until I'm able to mooch something off of Emerald." He laughed.

"Who is that?" she questioned innocently.

The prince smiled.

"Oh, it's just a woman who is, for some strange reason, part of the Black Moon Family." Diamond rolled his eyes.

"I have always wondered… why is it called the Black Moon Family if you're not all related to each other?" she inquired.

Diamond froze. He had never thought of that. This woman gave him so much to think about!

"You know, Ebony, I don't know." He answered truthfully.

They both laughed heartily, which felt good for the prince.

Ebony stood up, her bare body gleaming in the morning, well-shadowed by the dark tints. Her hair flowed freely down to her sides, odangos completely abolished. Stretching her entire body's length, Diamond gazed to her with longing he never knew he could have for someone besides the queen. He looked away in fear his body would be overcome with desire with her again.

Diamond pushed his body off of the bed and pressed it against hers. The woman blushed intensely, smiling with ardor.

"So, you're hungry again, I assume?" she asked, heat rising for him again.

"Is that a problem?" he almost laughed as his bare body pressed to Ebony's backside, him wrapping his arms tightly around her waist.

"I quite enjoy it, actually." Ebony grinned and kissed him amorously.

Turning to him, Ebony kissed him lavishly, then enfolded him in her arms. Their sweet kiss drew up desire in them once more, and they lowered their embrace back to the bed once again.

Sexy, ne?
