A/N: Okay, so it's been awhile since my last update, but here it is now! I don't own Sailor Moon, just the rest of the characters in the story. By the way, this is short, but I figured I had better update soon or else I would loose all my readers! What point is there to posting if I don't have readers? ************************************************************************

Rini glanced back at her friends and they nodded, edging back towards the door so that they could transform. "Star Chaos, but Chaos itself was destroyed!" The girl in the black sailor suit with bright red hair laughed. "Chaos can never truly be destroyed princess, I'm sure that your mother told you that! She may have kept me back, but not long enough for you and your prince to live peacefully!" A bolt of negative energy was shot directly into Rini's stomach, causing her to go white as a sheet and double over onto her knees. "Maiden!" Elios' arms were suddenly around her, and he was pulling her up to her feet. "That was too easy, you don't put up much of a fight princess!"

"Stop right there! We are the Star Sailors, and we will punish you for hurting our princess!" Star Chaos looked on with mild amusement, though her face had lost a bit of color. "Guess they didn't forget to make new ones, except that isn't a Star Sailor, that's the original Sailor Saturn." Chaos knew that Saturn had very powerful attacks, she could even destroy the world! "Where, might I ask, is Sailor Star Moon?"

Rini fell back into the shadows while Elios covered her escape. "Star Moon Power!" She whispered, and transformed into her alternate identity. "I am Sailor Star Moon, and in the name of the moon, I shall punish you!" She said as loudly as she could. "Dammit moon brat, where did you hide the bitchy little princess?" Star Moon winced, 'Am I really a bitch?' She shook her head and sent an attack at Star Chaos. "Earth Rose Whip!" She now had the powers of the moon and of earth because of her parents. Sailor Star Chaos cried out, and was bound by the whip, which increased its hold on her with every struggle she made.

Suddenly, Sailor Star Moon felt a jolt in her arm and screamed as well when she realized that her arms were starting to bleed from tiny cuts in her skin. Then, the whip went black and spun off of Star Chaos, wrapping itself around Star Moon, and making her fall to the ground. "Sailor Star Moon!" The scouts yelled, and Rini fought against her new bindings, screaming each time a thorn punctured her skin. Star Chaos smiled and threw her hand out at the pink haired soldier. "Chaos Supreme Darkness!" Then, someone in white robes was standing in front of her with the golden crystal in his hands, using it as a means to create a barrier, and in the meantime, obliterating the whip around her. All at once, she realized that it was Elios in his priest form and that he was protecting her just like she had seen her father do for her mother in the past. "Fear not my maiden, I will always protect you." He turned and smiled at her, and she noticed that he had once again healed her wounds. "Guess that's what I get for being my mother's daughter." Rini was always getting hurt, Sailor Star Moon was no exception. She stood and pulled out the pink crystal. "I can take it from here, you'll drain yourself if you use that too long."

Elios nodded, and pulled it back, knowing that he was already weakened from holding it even for that short time. However, the pink crystal would weaken Rini almost instantly in the state she was in. "Sailor Star Moon," He said, careful not to give away her identity, "she will not stay to fight if the princess isn't visible to her." His arms wrapped themselves around her and he felt her shiver a little. "I. I suppose you're right." She murmured, and he pulled away from her, but not before touching his lips to her's softly. "I'll leave, it's no use if the princess isn't here to feel my wrath."

Sailor Chaos gave her a look of distaste and disappeared. All of the girls de-transformed, and they left the dance silently. Elios offered to drive Rini home, and she nodded with a smile on her lips. When they arrived at the palace, he drove through the gates and pulled up to the front. "Are you all right maiden? You took a beating back there." She nodded, and the sense of disquiet in him lessened. Elios went around the front and opened her door for her. "Elios, I'm sorry I got in so much trouble today; it."

".couldn't be helped Rini, you cannot control the actions of others." Silently, they walked up the steps and she turned to him. "Elios. I'm kind of at a loss for words." He smiled tenderly and swept an arm around her waist. "Let me help you." She put her arms over his shoulders and crossed them at the elbows. Then, he caressed her lips with his before deepening it and brushing his tongue against her lips. Instantly, she separated them, and he entered her mouth, gently coaxing her tongue with his. Finally, his maiden was his and his alone. Elios slowly withdrew from her and touched his lips to her forehead. "I'll see you at school maiden." Before she even opened her eyes, he left.
