Serenity walked past the dorms. Although she had told Haruka she felt ill and wanted to lay down, she didn't plan on doing that. In fact she was going to go to a nice salon and get her hair evened out, then treat herself to a shopping trip.
She walked slowly casting weary glances at people who seemed to be awed by the silver haired angel in a boys' uniform. When she walked into the salon she got many looks as well. She quickly went over to the counter and the woman looked up at her smiling. "Hai? How may I help you?" She asked sweetly. "I'd like to get my hair evened out please." Serenity answered. The woman behind the counter nodded and showed her over to the sinks and she washed her hair, she then brushed it out and began to cut it evenly. "It looks like this was cut with a razor blade!" The girl exclaimed when she first began to even it out. Serenity's eyes clouded over and the girl didn't speak anymore.

Queen Serenity walked through the broken moon palace. Her body, although appearing solid, was not. She, although a spirit, was not in the underworld. This dead queen had a plan. She walked soundlessly, her feet moving, although not touching the heavily dusty floor, until she reached two large doors decorated with detailed carvings of lunarians long dead. "Open". She whispered softly to the doors, more than herself. The doors did as their queen commanded and opened slowly, and very loudly. More dust fell from the door onto the already littered floor.
The queen walked through the double doors, still walking as if on air until she reached a row of bookcases. She smiled as she found a leather bound book that looked older than any of the other books in the ancient kingdom. She grabbed the large book and slowly opened it. Out first the book was blank but suddenly silvery cursive lettering began to appear. She smiled at the contents of the book. "Find for me a spell of breaking a bond." The book didn't reply, move, or write anything new as the queen had expected. She didn't let this worry her. "This must mean that there is no such spell." She said, much to her distaste. "Hmm…" She began to think of another way a way to break up the two that shouldn't have found each other in the first place. She had tried SO hard to keep them apart.

Queen Serenity smiled happily as she saw her five year old daughter come running toward her. In her hand she clutched two roses. One red, another a deep purple. She handed the red one to her mother. "I picked this one for you!" She said with a big grin. "Who's the other one for Usagi-chan?" She said using her nick name for her young daughter. "Hotaru-chan's big brother!" the young queen's smile faded. "Hotaru-chan's brother isn't here Usagi-chan… he's in Hades…" Little Usagi shook her head. "Iie, he's always with me Oka-san!" Little Serenity ran off suddenly toward the palace. "Oka-san! I'm going to go put my rose in water for him!" The young queen looked at her daughter as she ran, and it was for the first time she saw a small shadow follow behind her. "Shinigami." She whispered. She slowly made her way through the palace until she reached two double doors. The smile that usually graced her face was not present. Only the worry for her daughter was etched in her facial features as she walked into the room and looked for a book of spells to help her with her troubles.
years later
Serenity walked through the halls her long dress draped across the floor and swished behind her as she walked the long corridor to her room. She had long forgotten the small shadow of Shinigami who used to be her friend as a child. She now was alone, regal, and slightly cold at times. But also caring when it came to her friends. She stopped at her door and let a hand wave across the door and it opened for it's princess. She walked in and the door shut. "Lock, there will be no visitors from friends or family tonight." She said to the door and although it didn't reply she knew it would not open for anyone but herself. She slowly began to undress before a male voice interrupted her. "Sere-chan. Don't become indecent just because I'm here." Serenity gasped and whirled around to see a man cloaked in darkness. She could see the twinkle of two eyes however. "W-who are you?" She asked, suddenly afraid as a coldness filled the room. "Shinigami." Serenity gasped suddenly. "S-Shinigami-sama… If it is my time, I am ready." She said composing herself, and standing tall as if to prove herself to the god. "Iie. It is not your time." Serenity looked at the shadowed figure oddly. "Than why have you come to me?" She asked inquisitively. "I am here because someone took you from me a long time ago." Serenity gave him a questioning look. "When you were young, we used to play together. I was only here as a shadow. I cannot be here for long unless I am taking troublesome souls. I am here before I take one of your maids. She is old and he death will be quick. She welcomes me… but her soul is having a hard time letting go." He said darkly. "I used to play with death?" She asked with a giggle. Not afraid like she had thought she would be. "Hai." He said with his own chuckle. Suddenly his smile he had faded, although she could not see it. "I must go. Her soul is waiting to be released." With that he disappeared. Serenity sighed softly. She felt a rush when she saw him, as if she felt something more than respect for such a god.
Yet another year later
Serenity softly cooed the small black kitten. It was one of Luna's. It would not gain speech for another year. She smiled softly as it purred and cuddled next to her. Suddenly she felt the surrounding coolness of her room.
"Shi-kun?" She questioned the seemingly empty room. "Hai." She smiled. "Do not hide." She said playfully. Suddenly she knew he was in a dark corner. "Come out Shi-kun." She said with a smile. Although she knew he would not, he never did. "If her princess wishes." He replied. Her blue and silver eyes widened. He never once said something like that. She blushed at the thought of him coming from his darkened place and kissing her like out of a fairy tale. She had grown fond of the death god, but she didn't tell him. Why? Because she was engaged to the earth prince, Endymion. She did not want to spoil the engagement with thoughts of love for another. The kingdom needed this bond of marriage. But she found her voice saying something she hadn't meant to. "Only if you come close." Suddenly she saw him emerge from the shadows that cloaked him. He had long dark hair braided and what looked like a well sculpted body. He was suddenly right next to her bed. "Is this close enough?" He asked with a playful smile. "Or…" He dipped down leaning over her, noses nearly touching, lips achingly close. "Did you mean this close." Serenity wetted her lips nervously. "I think…" She thought for a moment but nothing came out before on a whim she spoke, "I think I wanted you closer." His lips claimed hers suddenly, igniting the small flame that Serenity failed to put out, into a roaring fire. His lips were warm, unlike she had predicted. Although he gave off the cool feeling of death, his body was warm when pressed up against hers.
They broke off their kiss reluctantly however. "I-I must go." He said. A dark look came over his eyes and she understood. "Go. They call you." He nodded. "Come back to me soon." She whispered as he began to disappear and he smiled at her.

The queen looked through the book on her own now until she found something. "The shadow spell worked last time, but I need a blocking spell for gods from goddesses… perhaps I can…" She smiled. Finally her daughter would not be with such a thing. Her love would be with someone more pure than death itself. "Find me a spell to keep a god trapped in his realm." The book's pages flapped until it reached near the end and the silvery lettering appeared and she smiled and began to chant in ancient lunarian. Soon Shinigami would stay away from her daughter. She couldn't make him kill himself again. That spell could only be used once. This time, he would be bound to his darkened underworld, a place that her daughter could not go.

Serenity crept into Duo's dorm room. It was late and she didn't want to go back to her dorm. She slowly made her way into Duo's room and found him sitting on his bed, not sleeping, and not doing anything. "I sensed you." He said softly. Serenity crawled onto the bed and snuggled into his chest. "I knew you would." She answered. Serenity suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked up at Duo and saw his cobalt eyes go dark. "Shi-kun." She said softly. "Something isn't right…" Suddenly he disappeared. "SHI-KUN!" She screamed. She saw the barrel of Hiiro's gun as he came in the room. But he didn't have time to see her once she used her powers to teleport to her dorm where the outer senshi were. "Serenity-hime!" Setsuna cried as she saw her princess's crying form appear. "She took him… I know she did! That dead queen has taken him once again!" She screamed in utter anguish. The young princess would not be sleeping tonight with her lover. She would be sleeping in a bed of crushed dreams.
