I'm sorry it took so long, my disk wasn't working, oh well! ^_^;;; HERE NOW!!!

---Maakyurii and Malik---

"Malik why did you bring me here," Maakyurii asked the blonde as they entered his room and he sat down on his bed.

"I just wanted to…to tell you that I…that I…I love you," he said hanging his head, "and that I know we can't be together" his eyes welled up with tears but he refused to let them fall.

"But Malik, why not?" Maakyurii asked she knew very well why not but wondered if Malik knew.

"Ami, ever since Isis received the Millennium Necklace she's had these visions and I know…I know that your name is Maakyurii and that…that you're the princess of Mercury, Maakyurii," Malik said hesitantly still not looking at her.

"Oh Malik," Maakyurii said quietly walking over to him and lifting his chin, "Why does that stop you…stop us?" she asked.

"Because, you…you wouldn't love someone as low as me, a common Earthling, a slave as well," his eyes were downcast as he said this and she saw one crystal tear run down his cheek.

"Malik, you love someone for who they are," his eyes darted up to look at her smiling face, "not what they are," she finished and was shocked when he grabbed the sides of her face and crushed his mouth to hers.

He pulled away looking her straight in the eyes, "You mean that?" he asked, his eyes silently pleading with her.

"Oh course I do Malik, I…ashiteru," she said kissing him gently and sitting down next to him and putting her arms around his waist.

"What does that mean?" he asked looking at her.

"Guess," she teased.

"I love you," was his answer and she nodded in affirmation that that was indeed the correct answer, "your mine?" he asked.

"Hai," she replied nodding and he just knew it meant yes as he lowered his head to hers, kissing her softly and she kissed him back and nothing else mattered, not who they were, not where they were and not the danger they put themselves in.

---Marusu---

"I miss him already, I hope Bakura's safe," she whispered to herself as she stared out the window and into the long sands of the desert.

"I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye," came a gruff voice, Marusu's head snapped up and a smile spread across her features like wild fire. She spun around to come face to face with the one she loved the most, Bakura.

"Oh Bakura," she cried throwing herself at him and eh caught her, holding her unwilling to let go.

"Serenity told me…told me who you are, your highness," he said smirking as she looked at him and blushed.

"It doesn't change anything does it?" she asked shakily hopping that her high position wouldn't affect him.

"Of course not Marusu, nothing could alter my love for you," he whispered in her ear kissing it softly before pulling back to look at her dazzling eyes. He marvelled din her beauty, as her eyes and hair seemed to shine in the light that the sun shone through the window.

"And the same for me," Marusu whispered also and pressed her lips to his, he soon dominated the kiss and Marusu melted in his strong arms.

"Wherever you are and wherever you go, my love will follow, the love I show, whoever looks at you wont matter to me, I know that your with me because, you see, I love you," Bakura muttered to her and she just sighed, just listening to his voice made her knees buckle.

"Thank-you Bakura, you mean so much to me, I don't ever want to let you go, I wish you didn't have to go," Marusu said sadly tears welling up in her eyes, one fell but it was wiped away by Bakura.

"Then I'll stay, I don't want to see you sad," he said himself looking sorrowful.

"No, you have to go, or you'll be found and killed, please Bakura, I don't want to see you dead," Marusu cried into his chest and Bakura just held her tighter.

"Marusu," he called pulling back so she could look him in the eye, "I would rather die having known you, than live without meeting you."

"Oh Bakura, I love you, but really, you have to go," she said nuzzling into his chest again.

"I know, but you'll always be in my heart," Bakura replied smiling down at the mass fop black hair below him.

"And you will always be in mine," was Marusu's only reply and the room fell silent, both content in each others arms, unwilling to let go.

---Yupiteru---

The brown haired, green eyed, princess of Jupiter wandered through the palace halls to come to a stop in front of a large, expensive looking door. She nodded and received a grunt from inside, "Seto, it's me," she whispered but it was heard, as there was soon the noise of movement from inside.

"Makato, I wasn't expecting you," he stated as he looked at the tall brunette before him.

"That's doesn't mean you don't want em around does it?" she asked, smiling lightly knowing that he probably wouldn't want her after what she had to tell him.

"No, of course not," he said smirking putting her hand in his and leading her inside, "Is there something wrong?" he asked looking at the sad and desperate expression etched into her features.

"There is something Seto, that's very important to me…and it might give you second thoughts about…about me," she whispered but he obviously heard it when he slipped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear.

"How could something do that Makato, I love you too much," she closed her eyes and sighed pulling away from him: shocking him. "Makato, I," he tried to say something but she put a slender finger to his lips: silencing him.

"Seto, I love you also but there is something about me that…you should know but…it will probably change your mind," she whispered tears welling in her eyes as he looked at her with confusion: she bit her lip. "You know the other day Seto, when you said that one of lower class and high class can't be together, what if I'm…I'm not low class," he starred at her with shock and then happiness.

"But how, how can that be bad?" he asked reaching to take her hand but she shook her head and kept away from him.

"Btu I'm not just any ordinary member of the upper class, I'm a princess and no less," he looked slightly shocked and opened his mouth, but shut it again and allowed her to continue. "I'm not a princess of Earth," he starred at her with wide startled eyes, "I'm the princess of Jupiter, my name is…is Yupiteru." She chocked back a sob and turned away from him in shame, "I can under stand," she sobbed again, "if you...if you hate me," she whispered out.

"Shut up," he growled and she refused to look at him, her shoulders slumped and she couldn't help but cry. "Don't be an idiot, I," she turned to look at him with tears in her glistening emerald eyes, "I," he couldn't get his words straight.

"I'll make it easier," she whispered, her voice uneven from her crying, "do you still love me for who I am and not despise me for what I am?"

"No," he face fell, "I mean yes…no…I mean, oh I don't know what I mean anymore," he cried out racking a hand through his chestnut hair.

"Do you love me?" she asked looking at his frustrated features and ice blue met emerald green once again.

"Of course I do, Yupiteru, you see, I make…or break the rules," he smirked and she half grinned at him as she literally fell into his arms and cried against his chest as he held her close.

---Viinasu, Jono and Shizuka---

"Hey guys, I'm going to get something to eat, you hungry?" Shizuka asked, looking at the two blondes, the taller of which, was her brother.

"Nah, we'll be fine, see you in a minute sis," Jono replied as Shizuka nodded silently before leaving to give the two some time.

"Jono," Viinasu whispered turning away from the blonde boy when she sure Shizuka was out of hearing and seeing range.

"Minako, what's wrong?" Jono inquired, reaching out for her and taking her by the shoulder.

"I…I love you so much Jono and I…I don't want you to hate me," she started but h interrupted suddenly upon hearing those words.

"Hate you, how could I hate you?" he demanded trying to turn her around but she refused to move.

"Please let me finish," she stated before continuing, "but I also, don't want you to…to love me for…for something I'm not," and now she turned to look at him, the mark of her home planet, Venus, burning in a bright orange on her forehead.

"How, oh by Ra, you're a planetarian," he took a step back from her in fear as her dress melted away to reveal a light orange, long, flowing, princess gown, her royal robe.

"Yes, that's right, and I'm the princess of Venus, Viinasu, and now I can answer your question, my identity is why you can hate me," she closed her eyes and dropped her head to the floor as a loan tear ran down her cheek.

"But I can't hate you," she looked at him with hope shinning in her cerulean eyes, "…when I love you."

"Do you…mean that?" she chocked out of her tears as they continued to cores down her cheeks.

"Of course I do," he replied walking up to her and putting his lips to hers, her eyes slipped shut on reflex. "I love you more than anything," he whispered as he pulled away and Shizuka chose that moment top come around the corner.

"Finally chose to tell him eh Viinasu?" she asked smiling brightly at Viinasu who smiled back.

"WHAT?" Jono's jaw dropped to the floor startling both girls "you're not telling me my own sister knew this before me are you," he then pretended to be hurt.

"Oh don't worry you big baby, you know, and nothing else matters except that I love," Viinasu announced pulling Jono into another kiss.

Shizuka sighed and covered her eyes hurriedly with her hand, "I think I'll leave now," but the kissing duo paid her no attention at all as she slipped out of the room.

Well, that's it for now. Next chapter, really sad bit between Yami and Serenity, Haruka/Michiru confrontation/discussion and a realisation, anyway, the opening of the Shadow Realm is finally getting critical enough to be concerned about and I must warn you know that this will NOT have a happy ending, character death, loss of memories and other things.! ;-; So sad!
