In the Hands of Fate

Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and all of it's characters do not belong to me, but to the wonderful Naoko-sama. I am only borrowing her extravagant cast of super-heroes and villians for this little fic of mine. ^_~ Moon Crystal Power!!!
AN: Thanks for all the reviews! They're much appreciated. I love writing, so it helps when I know people are actually reading my words. And I agree with you all, Demando is the best! *sighs dreamily as she thinks of the seductive villain*^_^

Chapter II
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times...

Usagi awoke slowly, not sure of where she was, or why she was there. Her vision was slightly blurry; she felt dizzy and disoriented. Staring up at the ceiling, she tried to organize her thoughts. What had happened? She looked at her surroundings, her fuzzy mind beginning to clear. She was in a nicely furnished room with a high ceiling and tall windows on one wall, revealing the cloudy night sky beyond. Usagi frowned. She couldn't see the moon.
Sitting up, she saw that she was in a large bed with silken sheets covering her body. She was no longer morphed into Sailor Moon, and was dressed in a white silk gown with gold trim. It was a beautiful dress, but what was she doing wearing it?
"So, you're awake, Serenity."
Usagi jumped visibly at the words and turned to look for the person who had said them. The man who had taken her from her friends stood by the bed, watching her with those piercing violet eyes. He was dressed in less formal clothes than before; white pants and a white shirt. She couldn't help but notice that the top several buttons were loose, revealing his muscular chest. All in all, he looked very handsome and seductive, though she tried to ignore this. She looked up at him with slightly fearful eyes; all of the emotions she had felt for him before now gone. "Where am I?" she asked. "And what am I doing here?"
He smiled slightly, though Usagi wasn't quite sure she liked that smile. It seemed to mock her. He sat on the edge of the bed before answering, which made Usagi slightly uncomfortable. "Where you are is not your concern," his voice was deep and soothing. Catching her off-guard, Demando leaned over her, the upper half of his body pinning her down. His eyes roved over her prone body, then met her eyes. He smiled mischeiveiously and continued, "As to why you're here, well, I'd think that was obvious."
He then kissed her, letting his tongue enter her mouth. Usagi tried to break away from the passionate kiss, but he wouldn't allow it. As soon as she tried to pull away, he bit her lower lip, his teeth forcing her to keep her mouth locked to his. She pushed against his chest, and hit him until he finally pulled away, laughing. Usagi glared at him, her eyes full of hatred. She quickly put a hand to her mouth and rubbed it thoroughly back and forth across her lips, allowing him to see the disgust evident on her face.
He merely looked at her, seemingly lost in thought. Aster a moment, he stood up and headed towards the door. "Get some rest," he said softly. "I'll be back shortly."
Usagi watched as he left the room, and couldn't help but notice that he didn't lock the door.

"It's all my fault!" Mamoru cried as he slammed his fist aginst the wall in anguish. "I should have protected her!"
Rei walked up to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Mamoru, it wasn't your fault...we all should have acted more quickly."
Ami looked up from her computer. "It wouldn't have made a difference," she explained. "I did a scan on Prince Demando while he was here, and he had an energy force-field surrounding him."
"So none of our attacks would have gotten through?" concluded Makoto. Ami shook her head.
Chibi-usa stood by King Endymion, who had returned soon after Usagi had been taken. The little girl was crying softly, clutching her Luna-P for comfort. Minako knelt next to her, and wiped away the tears with her finger. "Don't cry, Chibi-usa. We'll get her back, I promise." Chibi-usa sniffed and smiled a small smile. "You think so?" she asked. Minako smiled back. "I know so," she replied.
"But first we need to figure out where they went," said Makoto.
"Ami, could you trace them?" asked Rei.
"I'm afraid not," she replied softly, putting away her computer. "I tried, but he was too strong. He blocked the sensor."
All was quiet for a moment; everyone was deep in thought. Mamoru looked at his future self. "Prince Demando is from the Black Moon, right?" he asked softly. King Endymion nodded. "Yes, he's the current leader of the family, and the strongest as far as I know." he sighed. "Why he has taken Sailor Moon, I don't know, but it is essential that we rescue her."
"Yes," agreed Ami. "But how?"
