Hi Kiddies here is another chapter for you. Thanks to those
of you who have reviewed and emailed me. ENJOY!!!

Summary

Serena makes a wish. And her powerful uncle grants it. Now
Darien has to compete for her heart, as well as remove the
obstacle of his replacement girlfriend.

Information

Darien is 19. Serena and the scouts are 17. Darien has no
idea who the scouts are. The scouts don't know that Darien
is tuxedo mask either. Princess Serenity has not been
revealed, as of yet. Darien and Rei are dating each other.
This story does not have a timing to occur in the series.
Meaning this is an alternative reality sort of. But the
powers and legends are all the same.

Two Makes One: Chapter 7… The Truth With Pain

In a frantic sprint Serena ran to Darien and knocked him
over. She fell down with him and rolled. They stopped up
against a wall with Darien straddling her in a very…
compromising position. Darien looked down at her and
realized exactly how beautiful she was. He then noticed
what situation they were in and flushed cherry red.

Rei stood there shocked along with the other scouts and
Andrew. She knew she was gaping but she couldn't help it.
Her boyfriend was lying, very intimately, on top of her
best friend, leader and confidant. He was blushing, he was
Darien Shields damn it the cold hearted unresponsive man of
Tokyo he wasn't supposed to blush. This didn't sit well
with her at all. It moved something in the pit of her
stomach.

Serena didn't notice anything at all. All of her attention
was turned to where Darien once stood. Even though she was
pinned under her archenemy she didn't feel the anger or
uncomfortable feeling she was supposed to feel, it felt
natural and familiar. So she just continued to stare at the
place where Darien earlier stood.

In the next moment the wall, behind where Darien was
seconds ago standing splintered and cracked. With a big
lurch the wall came tumbling down.

Darien pinned Serena down further more covering her body on
natural instincts.

Serena was under Darien with a very amused look on her
face. He always knew how to make an entrance She smiled
in spite of her situation at the thought of Endymion's many
entrances in the past while she heard and felt the wall
crash to the floor.

Andrew the scouts and Darien from his awkward but 'nice'
position on the floor watched as the dust settled. In
stalked one very peeved looking man. He was soon revealed
to be the Darien look alike, one very angry Darien look
alike.

His eyes were glowing liquid gold, as was his visible aura
that was currently flaring around him. In his hands he
clenched his sword that was giving off a slight golden
sheen. He glared at all of the perpetrators as he thought
of their well-deserved fate. His eyes then landed on
Andrew. He would be the first to go. He went to walk toward
him.

"Endy." Came a soft muffled squeak.

Endymion whipped around and his aura flared further in his
rage. The imposter was smothering his love on the floor. He
paused in contemplation of which man would die first, the
blonde man that took his heart away from him in the first
place, Andrew, or the imposter, mirror image of himself
that was pinning his love down on the floor underneath his
body. He chose the latter.

"Imposter, you will remove yourself off 'my' dearest so
that I might end your miserable existence." Endymion
growled as he glowered at Darien.

In the background the sailor scouts had just finished
transforming into their alter egos. Mercury was scanning
Endymion. Jupiter was furiously cracking her knuckles
waiting for Mercury to tell them his weakness. Andrew was
cowering behind the green skirt of Jupiter. Mars was in
thought over the whole situation, while Mina was confused.
There is a soul bond between Serena and Darien wannabe as
well as Sere and Dare. But the soul bond between Sere and
Dare is stronger. This doesn't make sense. But why didn't I
notice this sooner?

"Imposter?" Darien scowled as he gingerly rolled off of
Serena and surged to his feet. "You're the imposter."
Darien barked out with a steel glare.

Endymion was astounded at how much this man looked like
him. He pushed his thoughts away for later observation. "I
think not." He replied his voice edged with ice. He swung
his sword and in a golden flash of light he once again
stood in his armor.

Serena stood to her feet trying to regain her composure.

Darien followed Endymion with his transformation and pulled
out a perfect thornless rose. In a spark of white and red
light he transformed into the dashing and romantic hero of
Tokyo, Tuxedo Mask.

Serena gasped as she turned to the red light where Darien
was consumed and revealed to be Tuxedo Mask. "I feel
faint." She murmured as she swayed on her feet. She blacked
out and fell to the wooden floor only to be caught by a
pair of strong arms. Her eyes flickered open as she looked
up into a pair of concerned midnight blue eyes.

"Serena are you okay." Tuxedo Mask asked as he gazed down
on her worriedly.

Serena gasped in a heavy breath. I wasn't dreaming She
bit her lip as it commenced to quiver. Darien's, Darien's…
he's Tuxedo Mask "I can't believe it." She whispered more
to her self then anyone else in incredulity.

"Are you hurt, love?" Endymion asked as he pushed the urge
to kill tux boy down. If he were to attack there would be a
chance he would hit his princess, now that couldn't happen.

Serena looked over at Endymion from Tuxedo Mask's arms and
pouted. "I want to go home, Endy." She sniffed. She was
close to tears. I can't believe Darien was my dream guy.
The man I yearned for, for so long. I don't want to cry.
Not in front of every one especially Dari- I mean Tuxedo
Mask

"Of course my dear." Endymion strode over to Tuxedo Mask
and stood in front of him with a hard glare.

Tuxedo Mask glanced down at the nearly in tears Serena. I
guess finding out that I am Tuxedo Mask upset her He
sighed while an intense pain attacked his heart. He shoved
the pain away as he slipped Serena into Endymion's arms. It
was obvious she trusted him. He let her go rather
reluctantly.

Endymion transformed into the clothes he was wearing before
to accommodate Serena. He held her as she snuggled in his
arms and hid her head in his chest.

"Love what shall I do with them?" He motioned toward Tuxedo
Mask, one still cowering Andrew and the scouts.

Serena sighed as she shifted in his arms to a more
contented position. "Don't do anything Endy they're not
evil… just misled, my prince." She whispered.

"But 'my' princ-" Serena covered his mouth with her hand.

"Please don't call me that in their presence darling. They
don't know I'm the princess. Things have changed in this
time." Serena said in ancient Lunarian.

The audience watched in bafflement. It was obvious Endymion
understood her words, but they didn't and that was really
annoying.

Endymion nodded his head. "Yes I felt the Earth was odd
when I first came here. Changed somehow. Mother Earth
informed me it has been a millennia since my Kingdom has
fallen." He frowned as he replied in ancient Terran.

Serena saw tears in the earth prince's eyes. "Endy, please
don't cry." She pleaded in English as she embraced him. "It
hurts me when I see you cry, dearest. But I too lost just
as much my love." She murmured as tears came to her eyes at
the memory of exactly what she lost. "My Kingdom fell
before my eyes, my people died trying to fight in vain, my
friends perished protecting me, my mother died saving me,
but worst of all you fell to death in my arms. I watched
you die. I lost you." Tears rolled in silence down her
cheeks as she whispered her pains in her ancient tongue.
"You cannot imagine how long I have dreamt of holding you
in my arms, Endymion. In that small moment before I died I
had felt so alone with out you. I had felt so hopeless and…
incomplete. I have dreamt of you for over a lifetime. And
now I needn't dream anymore." She whispered in his ear.

"My fair moon maiden you will never dream again. I swear
this." Endymion promised as he clutched her to him as if
his life depended on their closeness, which to him it did.

But if I lost you back then and I died also then why…
She trailed off as her eyes fell on a de-transformed
Darien, who was looking everywhere else but at her and
Endymion. "This cannot be…" She murmured in alarm.

"What cannot-" Endymion began to ask.

"NO WAY!" Mercury shrieked uncharacteristically as her head
shot up from her Mercury computer. She looked from Darien
to Endymion in astonished fascination.

Kronos sat on his throne. "Time for the truth to be
revealed and the veil of secrets to rise." He murmured to
the darkened sky.

"What is it Ami?" Mars asked/demanded.

"Um, okay everyone I suggest that we all go and discuss
this situation in the living room." Mercury recommended.

In silence the sailor scouts de-transformed and walked out
of the ruined sacred fire room and into Rei's living room.
They all sat down and got comfortable while Andrew had been
literally kicked out of the temple. They had said it would
be safer and all his whining wouldn't change their minds.
Andrew had left with a pout. Endymion had wordlessly
refused to put Serena down, not that she was complaining.
They had all sat down from a good/safe distance from
Endymion who happily nestled Serena in his arms. They all
turned to Ami and silently urged her on.

Ami nodded her head and inhaled a breath of air. "I have
discovered-" She instigated.

"Please let me tell them Ami." Serena interrupted
pleadingly.

"But Serena how do you know what I'm going to say?" She
asked unsure.

"Why do you question your leader, Amitha?" Endymion growled
indignantly.

"Please let me handle this dearest." Serena sighed.

After a moment of quiet hesitance and thought Endymion
nodded his head. "Yes love."

Serena smiled at him. He looked so cute when he gave in.
She shook her head ridding her self of such thoughts. "Ami
please just let me tell them." She beseeched as she looked
at the ice sailor.

"Sure." Ami sighed.

"What Ami was going to tell you was this." Serena paused to
inhale deeply she then exhaled deeply also as well as
slowly. "Endymion and Darien are two parts of a soul." She
stated nonchalantly when in truth she was waiting for
reactions.

Endymion's eyes widened, as he looked over at Darien in
close observation. He caught Darien's eyes to see they were
his eyes and glared. He gently placed his love down beside
him and stood to his feet. He glowered at Darien with an
icy gaze before he swiftly and quietly left the room.

Rei was looking back and forth from Darien to the door
where Endymion had left followed by Serena. Lita was doing
the same. Ami was lost in thought wondering how Serena knew
she was going to reveal this. Mina was smiling now she had
an explanation for the three soul bonds.

"This can't be." Endymion whispered to the winds as he
stood at the back of the shrine under a cherry tree.

"But dearest." Serena began to plead in the long forgotten
language of the moon. She stood behind him and placed a
comforting hand on his shoulder.

Endymion turned around with a pained face he took her hand
and kissed it. "No I will not accept this my love. I will
not." He stated as pulled her into an embrace. He ran his
fingers through her hair while his body trembled. "I won't
lose you." Endymion whispered brokenly in Serena's ear. "I
love you." He held her to the point it was painful.

Serena didn't notice the pain but rather the embrace. She
knew what he meant. She knew he would feel this way the
moment she had found out. Endymion didn't want to lose her
to Darien. She trembled with him. She could feel his pain
through their link. Her lip quavered as sorrow, fear, loss,
anger, pain, and loneliness attacked her senses. Kami this
hurt. The loneliness hurt the most. "Endy." Serena
whimpered as she held him with just as much power as he was
holding her. Tears stung the corner of her eyes whilst she
buried her head in the crook of his neck.

Darien had followed and was watching everything. It was
like the end of the world for them finding out that he and
Endymion were two parts of a soul. The thought of Serena
hating him that much hurt, it hurt so badly that he
trembled where he stood. Why does this hurt so much? He
glared at the ground silently then her turned on his heel.

Kronos sat watching quietly the emotions flicker across his
niece's face. He glowered in the shadows. This wasn't
supposed to happen. He hadn't sent Endymion to cause more
pain and strife. He had to think of a solution and quick.

"How dare you bring such pain to my son." A woman's voice
screamed in rage her voice echoing into nothingness.

Kronos sighed. He didn't need this. "How was I to know this
was going to happen, dear goddess?" He asked in defense and
uninterestedly.

In the flash of a golden/jade green light a woman with
curly black coal locks falling to her shoulders and sea
green eyes appeared. She had a sea green gown on with black
thread stitching. She looked angelic with the exception of
the scowl that marred her gorgeous face. She was Tellas the
Goddess of Earth and mother to Endymion and Darien. "Who
gave you the right to hurt my son?" She hissed demanding an
answer.

Kronos heaved a sigh in annoyance. He was trying to help
his niece and now he had gods and goddesses alike intruding
in his territory to interrogate him. They were all
fortunate that he had learnt patience and control over the
time he had depleted there. "I was trying to help him with
Serenity." He confirmed through gritted teeth.

"By splitting his soul and creating another out of his past
memories?" She solicited angrily.

"How else was I going to make him see that Serenity was
right for him when he ignored and hurt her. Jealousy was my
only option." Kronos's fury and impatience was building.

"How can he remember he loves her when you took his
memories from him?" She shrieked her sea green eyes
dangerously flashing.

Kronos was about to reply but he stopped, he couldn't.
There was nothing he could say that would sway the
situation to his side for she was right.

The goddess of earth smiled making her more beautiful.
"Well as silent as ever I see." Smugness dripped from her
tone of voice.

Kronos scowled his silver eyes narrowed in wrath. "Do you
have any 'suggestions' Earthian goddess?" He bit out.

Tellas crossed her arms. "But of course that is why I'm
here." She smiled prettily. "You are going to bring
Endymion and Darien together so they are my son once
again." She said sternly leaving no room for argument.

"You want me to bring their two souls together?" He asked
incredulously.

The Earth goddess nodded her heavenly head.

"And how would that help me?" Kronos inquired wanting to
know his options.

"There is a chance he would remember then you would have
Serenity and Endymion together. Serenity will be happy and
your quest complete." She said persuasively.

Kronos thought on her words. She was right but would he be
willing to take the risk of him not remembering? He decided
yes. "Then let me do this dear goddess but it will take
some time." He said in agreement.

"Ah, I never thought you would be conquered in matters of
your will, dear Kronos. Now I see you are a not as
thoughtless as I heard you to be." She nodded her head in
acceptance.

"Darkness and silence is thought, Earthian Goddess." He
stated unaffected by her remark.

"Yes. And two makes one soul complete." She said as she
vanished the same way she had appeared.

Kronos contemplated her thoughts in the dark. She was
indeed one of the most outwitting Goddess there ever were.
"Indeed." He paused. With Darien and Endymion joined again
Serenity and Endymion could be together. He knew that the
memories of the past were not enough for his niece.
Endymion was the past and Darien the future once they were
united together Serenity and her prince could finally and
truly be together as one. "Two makes one." The Plutonian
God murmured 'his' wisdom.
