Author's Notes: Bet you all thought I was dead. huh? Well I live, I llllivvvvveeee!!!!! Anyway, after much debating with myself about continuing this fic after such a long hiatus, I finally decided to do the right thing and continue! I'd like to thank of you who reviewed and e-mailed me, I really mean it when I say that you are reason I write. So without further ado, the story!!!

********************************************************

'Fools,' thought Heero as he entered Usagi's room. It was disturbingly easy to get in, , disguised as one of the maintenance crew members of the base, he had slipped by the single guard that was sleeping outside on guard. Normally he would have been furious that the soldier that was suppose to protect her was doing such a poor job, but this worked in his favour, as he slipped quietly through her door. However, just as he was began walking to her bedside, Usagi suddenly sat up, tears pooling in her eyes.

******************************

She was lost. Lost in a sea of fathomless black and she embraced her fate, loving the lack of feeling she was incased in as she sank deeper into the darkness.

"Serenity."

"Who calls me?" questioned Usagi, unaccustomed to the insipid nature of her voice. It was so unlike the piquant tone she was used to.

"Poor Serenity, the fallen moon princess of a dead kingdom."

"Who are you?" This time Usagi's tone was laced with anger, as the silence she cherished was shattered by this disembodied voice. All she wanted now was solitude. Did she not deserve that? Despite the battles she fought and the sacrifices she made, was she still so undeserving of the one thing she wanted? Was she doomed to drown in her tears?

"But you are most beautiful when you cry. My poor, broken Serenity. Betrayed by one love, unaccepted by the other. And to both you gave your heart completely. They did not deserve you."

"Silence," ordered Usagi, clenching her fists tightly as the voice evocated her anger, obviously intent in it's mission to steal her peace. "Who are you? Leave me alone."

Suddenly though, she felt something firm brush across her shoulders and with frightening calm, she realized that very real arms were embracing her, holding her against a lightly muscled chest. A man's chest. Warm breath fanned against the back of her neck as lips skimmed her ear.

"Finally, you're in my arms, where you belong," The formally indistinguishable voce said with clarity and masculinity.

Usagi tensed as those whispering lips moved from her ear to lay butterfly kisses against the curve of her neck. She tried to move away, but the stranger's touch was chillingly captivating, paralyzing. "What do you want from me? Who are you? Tell me!"

"You know me, my precious. You have known me before, and you know me now. But who I was and who I am have changed a great deal, so you have yet to recognize me . But you will know me again in due time. As for what I want, it is what I have always desired, but before could never attain...your heart. Soon my beloved, you will be mine as you were meant to be, but not now. Now it's time for you to...WAKE UP!"

*****************************

Usagi sat up abruptly, eyes wide, her heart hammering in her chest as the voice's scream echoed in her head. She could still feel that warm chest to her back as kisses were rained on her neck. A small shudder of discontent ran down her back, but she forced herself to breath deeply is an effort to calm down, and push her encounter to the back of her mind. Looking around her she realized that she was in a room foreign to her and knew she didn't bring herself there. The last thing she remembered was fighting OZ and losing, but then Heero...the colony. 'Oh God,' thought Usagi, as she lay back against the sheets of her bed, staring unblinking at the white spackled ceiling, even as tears streamed down either side of her heart-shaped face. 'What have I done?'

Unbeknownst to Usagi, hard persian blue eyes stared at her, narrowed at the effort it took not to aid the fallen angel in her time of need, but owner of those eyes was strong and knew now was no the time to go to her, now matter desperately he wanted to. No, he was content to watch over her. For now.

*******************************

Elsewhere, another was awake, staring at the blazing moon transfixed. He was oblivious as silver suddenly streaked through his hair and lavender flecks glittered in the twin seas of emerald. No, this individual did not know of transformation he had undergone and was only aware of the single word that circulated endlessly in his mind: Serenity.
