Mamoru and Genie sat on the bench, waiting for Nina. She had gone into a candy shop to stuff herself. She had been in there for a long time, almost ten minutes.
"One second my butt!" Mamoru cursed. Genie laughed and then stood up to walk in there. But before she got the chance to take a step, the blue haired wonder scattered out of the shop, dragging a young man behind her. She was giggling insanely as the young man yelped out behind her.
"Whoa!" Mamoru said as she accidentally fell on his lap when she turned. She tossed the man at Genie and they both tumbled to the ground.
"YAY!" Nina said and clapped. Mamoru stood up and Nina jumped up and down on the balls of her feet.
"Well obviously that candy made you happy." Mamoru stated. Nina shook her head. She pointed at the young man on Genie.
Genie gasped for air for it had been knocked from her lungs when the man was tossed at her. She coughed and the man groaned as he lifted his upper body off her's. Genie opened her eyes and stared at the black haired man. He opened his gorgeous deep grey eyes and stared at her.
"C-c-c..." Genie couldn't even say his name. He quickly jumped off her and she jumped up turning away from him. They both had teardrops on the back of their heads and were laughing in embarassment.
"Gomen!" He yelped and then glared at Nina. She smiled innocently and cocked her head.
"Only helping it!" She told him. He walked up to her and took her by the collar.
"You didn't tell me it was her!" He whispered harshly.
"You never asked!" She laughed and poked his chest. He looked at Mamoru and stepped back. Then he fell to one knee bowing his head.
"My Lord!" He gasped. People were staring at them in confusion as they walked passed. Nina kicked the man in the face, sending him to the ground.
"Nina!" Genie yelped. She laughed and scratched the back of her head.
"He was being stupid!" She said. Genie knew she was still sad about Yume, but this was just too much. Genie kneeled down next to her old friend and helped him up.
"She still has that kick to her." He said as he rubbed his forehead. Genie nodded her head, smiling at her friend.
"Calio..." she whispered. "It's been so long. I thought you had stayed with the Princess?" Calio shook his head and smiled back at her.
"Iie... she said she wanted me to finish something down here." He laughed and lifted an eyebrow. "Funny thing is, she never told me what! I came down here to finish something I don't think was even started." Genie thought over it.
"Maybe it's something of personal reference." She said, nodding her head. The young man shrugged and looked at Nina and Mamoru.
"I've been here for a couple of years looking for it." Then he looked back at Genie. "I knew you were on Earth, I could feel it. Just could never find you." Then he looked down, realizing something. "Can't seem to find anything these days."
"Hey! Genie!" Nina said. "I have to go and Mamoru's going to get Usagi. I'll leave you two to talk and catch up!" She patted their backs, pushing them closer together and then she ran off. Mamoru waved to them and walked across the street towards Usagi's house. Genie looked at Calio and smiled.
"Walk with me?" She asked. He nodded his head and folded his hands behind his back. They walked on quietly, not really knowing what to say.
"So," Calio said, finally breaking the odd silence between them, "You and Nina are good friends now?" Genie nodded her head.
"Ever since the day the Prince and Princesses were killed. She just couldn't find him alone." The knight chuckled.
"Is she still a Seeker?" He asked.
"Well of course, she can't just convert can she." Genie looked up at him.
"Some Seeker..."
"She was hurt, Calio! Of course she couldn't find him! Remeber that one Seeker we ran into who was lost, but her father had died. The closest person to her! She was lost, emotions screw up their senses, you know that." Genie told him as the quickly crossed a street. Calio shrugged and nodded his head.
"You're right." Genie looked up at him and smiled.
"I missed our conversations. You're the only really intellect person I know." She sighed. Calio nodded his head and looked down at her.
"I missed our adventures." He chuckled. "Remember when we were looking for Princess Minako and Yaten? We fell in one of their traps and we were trapped in there for two days?" Genie laughed and nodded her head.
"You got on my nerves! You kept trying to get out and I knew it wouldn't help. But nooo... you always thought that something could be done!" She said and laughed at the same time. The laughing faded and they walked on silently. Then they both looked around and fell into a dark alley, placing kisses all over each other. Genie held his face as he pulled her as close as he could.
"I missed you so much," Calio said as he hugged her close. Genie kissed his neck and nodded her head.
"Oh I did too." She told him. "Me too..."

Yume sat in his chair and rested his chin in his palm boredly. In his fingers he twirled a thin silver ring.

************* "Don't loose it. It will remind you of me." Nina said as she enclosed his hand over it. He nodded and kissed her.
"How could I?" He asked as he place it on the silver chain around his neck. "You know sometimes I believe you are a sorceress." He told her as they walked on, holding hands.
"How's that?" She asked as she picked a red rose from a nearby bush. He looked into her bright, smiling green eyes.
"Because I'm deep in your spell." **************

Yume closed his fist around the ring as it dug into his skin. He growled and closed his eyes.
*How could she not love me anymore?! I'm powerful?! I'm more powerful than that witch Metallia!* He screamed in his mind. The large black wooden doors swung open and he looked up as a messenger walked in.
"M'lord, you have a message waiting for you." He said and threw a clear ball of energy into the middle of the room. He walked out and Yume put the ring back on the chain and waved his hand over the ball. The ball turned into a beam, and a life-size picture of Nina stood there. She was in a forest. She had placed babies-breath in her hair as it fell over her shoulders and down her back.
"Yume... I've been wanting to know one thing." She said. Yume nodded his head and waved his hand.
"Continue," he ordered. Nina looked down, twisting her baby blue skirt in her hands.
"Did you still love me when you joined the darkness?" Yume looked at her with wide blue eyes and then glared at her.
"Of course not. You wouldn't come with me. If you loved me you would have come with me. I should have known better. It's always the same with you. Duty before emotion." He clung to his staff, digging his nails into the black wood. The stone embedded on his forehead glowed bright and his two long bangs fluttered in a non-existent wind. "Always the same." He whispered. He looked at Nina and saw she was eerily calm. Now she was just squeezing the skirt, her entire body had become still and it looked as if she were a statue. Then she nodded her head and sniffled.
"O-okay..." she squeaked painfully. "I just wanted you to know then that I still love you, and always will." She said with a smiled even though the tears fell from her eyes. Yume looked away.
"Go!" He yelled. She nodded her head and the beam disappeared. He squeezed his staff, wanting to break something. Finally he stood up and tossed the black staff across the large room. With a scream he fell to her knees.
He may have been powerful, but he love was always and will always be the most powerful thing over him.

Genie kissed his lips once more. She had missed his touch, his feel. She ran her finger around his nipple as her head rested on his chest.
"I wonder where Nina is. She's never missed dinner before." Genie said and looked at the alarm clock. Calio's hand stroked her silky blonde hair and he kissed the top of her head.
"Maybe she went out?" He suggested. Genie shrugged. It could have been possible.
"But Nina won't eat any thing not homemade. So far she's only eaten her food and Makoto's." She looked up at Calio with worried eyes. He kissed her nose and put both his hands on her face.
"She'll be fine. She's a big girl now." He said. Genie smiled and nodded her head. He was always good and reassuring her. Then as they were snuggling even closer to each other. Nina walked into the room. She stood there with her green eyes wide and then she turned around.
"Gomen!" She screeched, thinking they had seen her. Calio and Genie both yelped and quickly covered themselves with the blankets on the bed.
"What are you doing?!" Genie yelled. Nina cowarded away and covered her eyes as she walked towards the closet.
"I just wanted to get my pj's so I could go to bed!" She told them. Genie sighed, burying her face in the pillows next to Calio's head. Nina quickly got her pajamas and ran out whispering another few apologies.
"I had better go anyway." He kissed her forehead and then dressed to go. Genie wrapped herself in the yellow sheets and walked him to the door. He turned to her and smiled.
"You're so beautiful in a sheet." He chuckled and kissed her neck. She laughed and kissed him one last time.
"I'll see you later." She said and hugged him tight. "Ai shiteru."
"Ai shiteru." He replied and then walked out. Genie leaned against the door and sighed. She was happy now, knowing she had found him once more. As she walked back to her room, she stopped in front of Nina's door, wanting to go in and comfort her.
*"She'll be fine. She's a big girl now."* She recalled Calio's words and then went into her room and shut the door.
