Chapter 4



"Who is this guy?" Rei asked her king.

It was after the police had come and gone, the senshi were in thee library where they handled their private business. At the moment they were now able to think straight since Serenity's disappearance. It proved to them that peace would never be a sure thing, even in their hometown.

Color had yet to return to Endymion's face. His eyes seemed dazed as if gazing off in the distance, instead of what was in the room. Finally he pulls a glass of water to his colorless lips and took a sip of it. He dully noted that he was still shaking, still worried and scared for his little rabbit.his Usako.

"Mamoru-san," Rei looks at him, using his other name before he had became king.

He looks up at the raven-haired woman. " Hai?" he says.

She sighs. "Look, we all know you are worried about Usagi. We are too, but we need to know what and who is the 'Black Phoenix'?"

He nods, still in his daze, "What I haven't told the police is," He looks at them all before going on. "I know who the Black Phoenix is."

A gasp came from some of the senshi. He knew who their enemy was!

"Who, Mamoru?!" Haruka demanded, "Who has taken our koneko-chan?!"

He sat back, tired and weary, and looks at them. He knew that this was a secret that no one was told of, not even his father knew of Black Phoenix, for his mother, Gaia, had planned it that way so that only she and he knew of his existence.

"The Black Phoenix is a secret agent for Earth back during the days of the Silver Millennium." He began, "He was sent out to spy on other nations and planets so we would know what we were up against if we went to war with other planets." He sat up a bit, feeling a little guilty but pressed on, "The only people that were suppose to know about him was my mother and I. But she hadn't told me until the day before the Moon Kingdom was destroyed. But by then, he had been locked away into the sleep of death after he sold us out to Beryl. And since then, and for all I know, he had been that way for thousands of years."

There, it was done. Endymion sat back once again, thinking of why Black Phoenix had taken his wife.

Setsuna looks at him curiously, "I had no idea that that was happening." She announced, "How could he have slipped through the cracks like that?"

He frowned and thought about what his mother had told him about this strange man. "I'm not sure." He admitted, "It has something to do with the fact that he is a top knot soldier that had showed up one day. He had the ability to hide in shadows and he is able to fight very well. From what mother had said, he had studied all types of fighting skills and moves like a ghost"

Ami thought about that as she typed it in her computer. "I've found no record of him in any era or time period." She closed it and frowned unhappily, "It's like he had never existed before he showed up at your palace."

He only shrugs, "That's the point, Ami, nobody knows who he really is!" He leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table and shook his head, "The armies back then had no record of him, in any country, there is no known information about him." He scowled a bit, "Hell, we don't even know his name."



Elsewhere.

Serenity awoke on the floor, her hands tied as were her feet, bound together. She realized after a moment that she couldn't see and it was cold. After that, she also realizes that she could not talk either, no matter how hard she tried to get rid of the ball or whatever in her mouth, it wouldn't move.

"Ah, my sweet moon nymph." She heard a male voice say, "You are now finally mine!"

She felt his hands touch her hesitantly, as if afraid he'd break her.

*Let me go..please! * She begged silently in her mind.

But of course, the plea went unnoticed by the man as he began to explore her body. She felt his rough has handle her body both roughly and yet..tenderly.

That's when she felt his tongue caress her right breast as the other tenderly molds to it and began to massage it.

Serenity couldn't help but cry. Crying because she didn't know where she was, crying because she had been taken against her will to another place. Crying, because she was blindfolded, tied up, and naked on a cold floor. And finally, she cried because her body was enjoying what her mind and heart found revolting, distasteful, and sickening.

That's when he stopped touching her, much to her relief, and took the blindfold off, saying, "I want you to know who is making love to you."

Slowly, ever so slowly, he took off the blindfold.

She opened her eyes, then immediately closed them again. Until she was sure that her eyes had adjusted, she opened them again.

The first thing she noticed was that it was neither dark nor light. An odd mixture of something in between, it was, at least she thought so.

The second thing she noticed was him.





AN: Man, Am I evil or what?! *Hysterical laughter * You thought I was going to tell you, eh? Well, no, nany, nany, boo, boo! Well looks like you're going to have to wait to see who he really is! *Snickers * R&R or no more chapters! Don't think I would? Oh, you are so wrong!
