Some one once asked me how I find time to update my fics. Point is.... I
don't have any. It's the thought of all of the reviews that keeps me from
dumping my fics in the dust. Ya, I've taken to ranting lately so ya.
Oh well. I'm writing this chapter cause I need a break from the science report I'm halfway done with. Anyone ever heard of writers block when it comes to reports? Probably not, sigh.
Okay, in this chapter I'll answer all the questions Shinigami's questions cause I sort of forgot about the past part. Oops.. Silly me. Thanks for reminding me. And Senashenta, get your fic out soon, and I have no idea where I heard the name, I just heard it, and loved it. So ya. ON WITH THE FIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ps: Some reason I just thought that 'In The Middle' was a great song to go with chapter. Oh well.. That was just useless rambling. Oh well.
Hotaru hid her face against Yaten and let tears roll down silently. Akuma was going to kill her friends. Usually Hotaru wouldn't have minded dieing if it meant she died alone, but her baby. She couldn't die.
Yaten held Hotaru, but kept his eyes on the orb. He wanted to know what was happening. If Crimson and the others attacked, maybe just maybe he could see some weakness.
Yaten kept his koi tight against him. He needed to feel her warmth. His thoughts trained on the devil that'd locked them up, if anything Akuma wasn't stupid. He was waiting the others out. But he had one fault in his plans; his need for revenge overwhelmed his thinking at some points.
With a sigh he let his eyes focus on the silent field that stood in front of Akuma's tower. That's where everything would come together, where the final strings of destiny would be wound.

Seiya watched Serena stared out the window of the top floor of the palace. "Ser?"
"Hm?"
"Are you alright?" He asked, going to stand behind her.
"No." She sighed and turned to him, "I'll never understand why. Why my mother never told me about Darien? Why didn't Hotaru say something sooner? Why didn't Setsuna see anything? Why did the future change? Why Darien let himself become Akuma? Why I never realized he was a devil?"
The end words came out on a sob as she broke down crying and fell limply to the floor. "I'm such a mess." She murmured as Seiya gathered her into his arms.
"It's alright. Hush. Everything will be okay."
"No it won't." Serena's eyes pierced into his. "Don't you see? Hotaru and Yaten will never be able to erase the time where they are. Can you imagine the torture? And Taru's baby, it could be dead and she could be suffering. Oh Seiya, it's all my fault."
Seiya held Serena tightly against him, "We'll get them back. And they will be fine." He ran a hand through her hair, stroking the blonde strands tenderly. "I know everything will be alright."
"You really think so?" Her blue eyes were swimming with emotions when she looked up at him.
"Hai." Seiya said with a small smile. "Everything will be alright. You just wait and see."
"That's the hardest part, waiting." She said softly.

Rini watched Seiya and Serena together. "They're totally and completely in love." She murmured. "Both of them."
"How do you feel about all of this Rini?" Luna asked.
"I don't know." The smaller senshi sighed, "I don't know Seiya well, but I know Serena's in love with him."
"Hai." Artimis nodded. "Luna?"
"Yes?"
"Are you going to tell them about what happened during the Silver Millennium?"
"It's their right to know." Luna said, "Gather everyone into the main hall."
"Hai." Rini nodded, "Hotaru already knows doesn't she?"
"Yes." Luna said.
********************************************************************
Ten minutes later....
Everyone was seated in the dining room watching Luna as she sat upon the table. In front of her was a ball of light.
"Tessa mika no kourin." Luna said making the ball expand until it consumed the whole room into itself.
***Flashback***
The thrown room was aglow with happiness and laughter as delegates from all over the Universe conversed with one another. The Silver Millennium was a happy time, full of wonder and peace.
Queen Selenity talked softly to her best fried, Queen Morgaine of Saturn. At the purple haired woman's side was a small but limber girl, Princess Trinity. The small angel faced girl of 13 looked shyly up at her aunt.
"How is your daughter?" Morgaine asked smiling at her sister while she patted her daughter's head. "Sweat heart, why don't you go dance with some of the nice boys down there?"
"I don't wanna." Trinity whined.
"Now darling, you ought to go make some friends. The other Outer scouts can't play with you all the time."
"Okay mama." Trinity released herself from her mother and trudged down the steps from the thrones to the ballroom floor. Looking around she spotted Princess Mennonite, Lickratia, Rieseta, and Amethyst. But her cousin was nowhere in sight.
She wandered out onto the balcony and watched the stars that were so beautiful. "She's probably off with her beloved again." She scoffed at the vision of the baka from Earth. "That stupid head is so annoying. Why does Serenity or Selenity put up with him?"
"Good question." A soft voice came from behind her. Trinity turned to find her aunt standing there with a smile. "I'll tell you." The queen motioned for the younger girl to sit.
As the queen peered up into the night she let out a breathless sigh, then started. "Ten years ago, I feel in love with a man name Cordial. My mother didn't understand and banished him from the moon. But I, being just a child, didn't understand why. His family was wicked and vile, but he wasn't. He was the stranger in the family, the good child.
Yet his father and mother trained him to be wicked, but he just wouldn't. I loved him so, and I wonder if that's what kept him from his family, my love. I snuck off to see him one day, stole a bored a ship bound for earth. And when I arrived, the guards attacked me.
Cordial's family was going to try and kill mine, but he had apposed it. I was thrown in the dungeon and left there till I cried myself to sleep. He came for me though, snuck me out and told me to leave. Get as far from Earth as I could. Cordial told me it was the last time I'd see him, he was now engaged to his cousin and could not be seen with me or his parents would kill me. Go he said, never look back. So I ran, ran as far as I could.
It hurt so much, when I'd finally found a trade ship to the moon I was in tears once again. I knew deeply in my heart my love would never fade yet I'd never see him again. When I finally arrived back on the moon, my mother eloped me in a hug and betrothed me to the first man eligible.
I loved my husband, but not truly and deeply like Cordial. And when Darien showed up on our doorstep one day, looking exactly like his father, I couldn't refuse. He had so much good in him, with only a touch of wickedness. I thought it would fade over time, and seems to have."
Selenity looked down and her small and fragile niece who was now crying softly and silently. "It's so awful." Trinity whispered, "To be deigned love."
"I know." Selenity gathered the small girl into her arms, "Promise me something, though. You must never tell anyone, for you, Luna, and I are the only ones who know. It's our secret Firefly?"
"Yes Aunty Len." Trinity said, dabbing at her tears.
"I have to go back inside. You shouldn't stay to long or else you'll catch a chill." Trinity nodded as she watched her aunt slide gracefully back into the ballroom.
"Our secret."
"Oh Darien." Trinity's head whipped around and she sprung over to the edge of the balcony. Darien and Serenity stood, holding each other tenderly.
"Oh no." She mumbled to herself. "Sappy stuff."
"You mustn't go." Serenity said softly.
"I have too. Your mother suspects everyone from earth, don't be afraid darling; I'll be alright."
"I love you Darien."
"I lover you too my sweet princess." Darien disappeared back into the night leaving Serenity alone. Serenity walked inside and left the cool night for her despair. Trinity was about to go back in as well until movement caught her eye.
Darien once again appeared, but his time with an evil smile upon his lips. "Soon princess, you will be mine, and I will kill that mother of yours for my mother. You're sweet queen took my father's heart from my family. Now I'll take the princess's. Then I'll run it up the flag pole with my bare hands." He laughed evilly and vanished.
Trinity brought a hand to her heart and tried to calm it's wild beating. A gasp escaped her lips, "I have to tell Serenity and Selenity." With a mad dash of energy the young girl flung into the ballroom only to see Serenity and Darien exit after a dance. "No." She whispered in terror.
Fighting panic, Trinity ran as fast as she could, searching in desperation for her aunt. Yet to no avail she realized too late that the end of the Silver Millennium had begun. Outside, Beryl's forces had attacked, and Darien was about to strike.
"It's my fault." Trinity said, "If I had been faster, I could have warned them." With a small sob she was overwhelmed in the Silver Crystals life and sent to earth with the rest of the Moon Kingdom.
Queen Selenity watched the light's fade, "I am sorry my children. I realized too late. Trinity, you might be the only hope if Akuma arises in Darien once again. You and I are the only ones who know."
Oh well. I'm writing this chapter cause I need a break from the science report I'm halfway done with. Anyone ever heard of writers block when it comes to reports? Probably not, sigh.
