Serenity looked at Setsuna with confusion. "You knew?" Setsuna's shocked face turned sad. "I knew but was supposed to keep it a secret." She admitted. "Why were we really sent here Pluto-sama?" Serenity said commandingly. Pluto's shock was written all over her face at Serenity's upfront behavior. "You haven't called me Pluto-sama since the silver millennium…" Serenity's eyes softened. "Gomen… I am being harsh… Setsuna, why were we sent here?" Setsuna's garnet eyes turned toward the floor. "I was sent by Queen Serenity's spirit… she told me that if you were to be with Shinigami the world would be doomed… the inner senshi are still alive and prospering here in this time along with Mamoru. I was told to have you bring some senshi pretending the others were dead." Setsuna took a shaky breath. It was obviously hard for the time senshi to have lied to her princess; it was surely taking its toll on her.
"The senshi we brought were not to know of this. I was told we were to kill Shinigami so he would go back to the underworld and not be able to stay in the mortal realm for more than a few hours at a time… so he could no longer see you… I was to have you and Mamoru-san reconcile and then have your destiny played out." Serenity looked away. Her eyes had begun to tear. "Naze?" Setsuna took another shaking breath. "My duty is still to her majesty until you are crowned queen. I could not disobey her." Serenity looked up at Setsuna, forgiveness shinning in her blue orbs. "It is alright, I understand. But, because her majesty is deceased I do not believe she should be able to give such commands any longer. Shinigami-sama was my lover in my last life, and he will be again in this life. As much as Serenity-sama believes that I should be with Endymion, I refuse to be brought into such a life that will make me unhappy and bring only suffering." Serenity finished her speech and wiped her tears before she walked out of the room. "I need to be alone for a little bit. Don't worry, I'm not upset with you." She said reading Setsuna's mind who had thought the princess was still upset with her. Chibi-Usa gave Setsuna a quizzical look. "So… do you think I'm still going to exist?" Setsuna looked at Chibi-Usa's garnet orbs. "Hai. But the whom your father is may change. If What Serenity says is true… she slept with Shinigami-sama… which means she may in this life." Chibi-Usa nodded her head at Setsuna's words. "Get some sleep. Serenity-chan went to Shinigami-sama's most likely. She won't return until morning." Chibi-Usa crawled back into bed and Setsuna began to go back to her room before Chibi-Usa made her stop in her tracks. "Setsuna-chan, why did Usagi have such short hair? I thought it was always long." Setsuna turned back around, sadness radiating from her every feature and every movement. "That is not the kind of bedtime story you should hear Chibi-Usa-chan. Perhaps Serenity will tell you when the time is right. I must go to the time gates." With that said Setsuna shut the door with a soft click and Chibi-Usa was left with her own thoughts.
"Why… why did Obaa-san do such a horrible thing as to keep mama away from her one true love?" She asked out loud to the darkened room. Chibi-Usa hugged her knees up to her chest and she felt a tear trickle down her cheek. "It's such a sad thing to have happened to her." Chibi-Usa looked out the window and saw the white moon glowing in the sky. "Helios-kun… I miss you."

Usagi's bare feet padded down the cold hallway. She hugged herself as she walked toward his room to keep warm. She hoped that she wouldn't wake anyone when she got in there. He had told her days before that he shared a room with one person. She recognized his dorm room and she smiled serenely. She put her hand on the door handle and let a small amount of power unlock the door before she entered quietly. She quickly read for his aura. He was awake and in his room. She smiled again and let her energy rise enough so he could sense her coming and she wouldn't have to make much noise when entering his room. She didn't feel like meeting her Shi-kun's roommate. As she walked in she saw him laying on top of the sheets, still fully clothed staring emptily at the ceiling. "Sere-chan." He said softly turning toward her. His eyes held a look of loneliness. She smiled at him and crawled onto the bed next to him, laying her head on his chest contently. "Aishiteru Shi-kun." She said as she let an arm snake across his stomach and hold onto him. He kissed her head lovingly. "Aishiteru Sere-chan." The two fell asleep like that.

Serenity awoke to the sounds of gunfire and Duo running around yelling something. "What's going on?" Serenity asked as she rubbed her tired eyes. "Hii-man went crazy!" Duo yelled dodging a bullet. "Serenity looked over at the chocolate haired boy and she stood up and walked over to him. He suddenly pointed the gun at her. "Omae o korosu." He said in a monotonous voice. "Iie." Duo's happy go lucky voice was gone. In its place was a serious threatening one. One that Hiiro had never heard out of the braided boy before. He cocked the gun anyway. The girl stared at him, her expression had turned from confusion to a blank stare the moment the gun had been aimed at her. Her crystal blue eyes fixed on him, not the gun pointed between her eyes. There was a sudden nock on the door. "Hiiro! Duo! Time for…" Quatre stopped when he saw the scene before him. "Hiiro! What are you doing!? That's a student here!" Hiiro un-cocked his gun and put it away. Walking from the room he gave Duo a look that read, 'Don't bring strangers into our apartment or I'll murder you for real next time'. Duo glared back at him before turning back to Serenity. "Better get to class ne?" He said in a happy voice throwing her one of his spare uniforms. "Go as a guy today, we don't have much time for anything or we'll be late." Serenity nodded and happily and got into the male uniform, she was just happy to not be in the normal female uniform. Duo just laughed when he realized she had just changed in front of him and she didn't seem to care that he was of the opposite sex. "Oh shut up Duo-chan, you've already seen me naked before." It was just as soon as Serenity had said this that Quatre walked in… he promptly turned red.

Serenity walked into class. Haruka took one look at her princess's attire and Duo's arm wrapped around her slim waist and she saw red. "Usagi-chan." She said sharply. Serenity turned toward Haruka. "Hai." She replied, her every feature radiated royalty making Haruka rethink reprimanding the small moon princess. "N-Nothing." Haruka replied, surprising both herself and Serenity. Serenity raised one eyebrow and she sat down and opened a book and began to read. Duo smiled at her before he began to listen to the teacher lecture.
Halfway through the period the teacher left them to study for an upcoming test and Haruka turned to her princess. "Usagi… what did you do to your hair? It's all jagged."
"I cut it a long time ago." Usagi said eerily. Haruka's temper flared. "Serenity-hime! What is going on?!" Haruka's voice was laced with confusion and anger. Serenity just looked at her. Her crystal blue eyes flashed more silver causing Haruka to take a double take. Serenity stood up suddenly and grabbed her things. "I'm feeling ill. I'm going back to the dorm." She said softly before she leaned down and gave Duo a chaste kiss before leaving. Haruka's eyes followed Serenity as she left the room and her eyes still looked at the door that she had just exited. What was wrong with her princess?

Damn this is short. I just got stuck. I've been having writers block for the past month or so. I really like this one but I'm not sure where its going. If anyone is interested in throwing me ideas for ANY of my stories feel free to do so. I really like it when you praise me, but suggestions are better sometimes ^.^ But that doesn't mean to not praise me! Hee hee. Also check out my new story, Sincerely Me. I'm in need of some reviews on that one!
