:roaYea ... sorry for the late posts, but I've been REALLY busy! Trust me, I'd like to write more than do the things I've had to do lately. ::sighs:: Anyway, I'll try to update as much as I can.

*********

            The princess glanced down the hallway looking out for a certain blonde earthling. The one who had found out her secret. As soon as she no one in the hallway, she quickly walked towards Sailor Uranus' room and slammed the door behind her. "Har-- ahh!" She yelled out as something grabbed her from behind and held a knife to her throat.

            The princess of Uranus looked at the cloaked figure in front of her. "Who the hell are you? And what do you want?"

            "Oh for the love of the Goddess Selene! It's me!"

            "Sere?" Haruka blinked and stared at the small figure in front of her again. After seeing her princess in the disguise, seeing such a small person saying she was the princess was strange.

            "Yes!"

            Pulling back the cloak of the person in front of her, Uranus grinned as a waterfall of silver hair shimmered down. "What? No disguise? Sere, what are you doing here at this time of the night?" She quickly let go of the future queen of the moon and placed the knife on a dresser across the room. She had a sinking feeling that the princess was going to ask her to do something that she wasn't going to like.

            "No, that disguise is wearing me out. Draining me of my energy. Haruka, I need you to do me a favor." Serenity smiled nervously as the older woman groaned and turned around. This was asking her a lot ... she knew it was.

            "What is it? And I'm not doing it if it's anything that includes something totally evil." She almost sweat dropped as she saw her princess smile innocently and lower her eyes.

            "Well ... it's not something evil..."

            "But...?"

            "No buts! I just want you to ... you know find out some information for me."

            Poor Uranus was getting nervous by the second as her princess' smile became sweeter and more innocent. "What kind of information?"

            "The kind of information a man would give to a man." Serenity was now looking up through her eyelashes, fluttering them ever so slightly.

            Uranus let out the breath of air she didn't know she was holding and laughed. "Won't work, Sere! Luna revealed to the men that I'm a woman!" The relief she felt at the moment was immense and she was busy congratulating herself - missing the glint that had entered the silver-haired woman's eyes.

            "I realize that, 'Ruka."

            Oh, shit ... Those were the thoughts of Uranus before Serenity's grin widened.

            "I want you to seduce one of the men here! And get info from them."

            And the impossible happened ... the almighty, powerful Sailor Scout of the Planet Uranus ... lover of the Sailor Scout Neptune ... fainted.

            " 'Ruka?"

            "Where are you?!"

            Jadeite whimpered slightly from his hiding place in the gardens. His prince had lost his mind, chasing him ever since he had found out that Jadeite knew the princess' secret. He peeked out from the bush, watching as a pair of boots passed him. With a sigh of relief, he leaned back against a tree and waited a few minutes. Then, he stood up, only to have something grab him from behind and place a blindfold over him. He felt other hands grab him and start to drag him.

            "Lemme go!"

            "Shut up, you idiot! You want the prince to find you?" Came the soft whisper.

            Jadeite stilled at the voice, it was Nephrite's voice. Oh, thank the gods! He could feel them moving swiftly over the lands and now they stopped. When the blindfold was removed, he blinked at the bright light that shone through. "Where ... are we?"

            "We can't tell you for your safety." Zoisite was looking through a curtain, glancing around nervously.

            Nephrite was busy locking the door and Kunzite looked like he was standing guard. Jadeite blinked and wondered what was going on.

            "Ehh ... what's going on?"

            "You fool? What did you do to the prince? He's been going about, raving like a madman. He says when he gets you, he's going to get the secret, and then kill you!" Kunzite's eyes were wide with something akin to fear. Something never seen in those gray eyes.

            "I just kept a secret from him?"

            "We got that much, you idiot."

            "Uh, right. Well, I found out something about the princess and I wouldn't tell him because I wanted something in return. I don't think he was too happy about that."

            "Oi ... what an idiot."

            Jadeite glared at Nephrite, who seemed to be enjoying all of this. "How'd you guys find where I was anyway?"

            "We followed your scent. Ow!" Zoisite rubbed the back of his head where Jadeite slapped him. "Fine ... fine ... we waited until the prince disappeared. And lo and behold ... you popped up like a little rabbit from the bushes."

            "Thanks for the description."

            "Anyway, you'll be hiding here for the next few days until the prince regains his sanity." Kunzite grinned slightly and flipped his hair back.

            Jadeite looked around at where they were. A bed probably made of hay and a bathroom. "How the hell am I suppose to survive in this hellhole?!"

            The others were already gathered at the door, smiling nervously. "You live day by day. Bye!"

Before Jadeite could even blink, the other three had opened the door and disappeared. "Fine, you assholes! See if I ever do anything for you again!" He became silent and looked at the closed door. "I wanna go hoooooome!!"

*********

"Oh no..." Uranus moved up against the wall, eyes bright with fear. "Please ... mercy."

The figure moved closer and smiled slyly. "Aw, please?"

The tall blonde girl shook her head nervously. She had already fainted once that day, she didn't need it to happen again.

"Please, Uranus?"

No, the eyes ... anything but the eyes ...

"All right."

"Yay!" Queen Selenity hugged Uranus before hurrying down the hallway. "I'm late for a meeting. Now I'll discuss with you the plans afterwards. Serenity is never going to know what hit her." Hastily, the usually ever-dignified queen ran down the halls humming the wedding tune.

Haruka sighed, turned and started to bang her head against the wall. "Why me? Why me? WHY ME?!"  

"Because you seem to have a weak spot for the princess and the queen." Venus grinned and stepped out from the shadows, her blonde hair swishing behind her. "Oh, and if you don't stop doing that right now ... you're going to have a red spot on your forehead and that won't do if you're going to seduce one of the guys."

Still with her forehead against the wall, she turned her head slightly to gaze at the leader of the inner senshis. "And you're here because...?"

"I'm here to teach you how to seduce a man!" Came the bright and chirpy answer.

 "..."

"Haruka? Now is not the time to sleep! We have work to do!" Minako kicked the still body on the floor, frowning.

**********

Prince Endymion sat down, exhausted of his little hunt of Jadeite. It seemed the blonde had disappeared somewhere and now he had nothing to do. Perhaps if he had offered something other than death ... he smirked lightly and shook his head. That would have been no fun. That's when he heard the slight rustle in the gardens. Looking up, he saw the princess hurrying across the flower fields. He mused that she was quite graceful for a woman her size and stood up. "Princess!"

He watched as she stopped, confused for a moment before turning towards him. Her eyes widened slightly and he noted that she also had beautiful eyes. A brief nervous smile crossed her face, hiding her rather large wart for a brief second before returning. Jogging over to her, he smiled a bit. "Hello."

"Prince Endymion." She curtseyed and straightened, frowning slightly. "Is there something you need of me?" A soft blush crossed over her acne-covered face at the memory of the kiss.

He blinked in surprise at the way his body responded to that innocent question and frowned a bit. "No, I was just asking where you were going in such a hurry. I am ... well ... quite bored."

"I was just going to check on my pets..." She trailed off a bit and turned as she heard a low growl from near. "And they are a bit hungry."

"Mind if I join you?" He held out his arm for her and raised an eyebrow as she shook her head. "No?"

"Well, my pets are a bit ... aggressive and protective of me. They do not allow anybody near them... except for me."  She smiled a bit and started to move, but was stopped as she felt him grab her wrist. She looked down questioningly at him.

"I think I can handle a few animals."

She shrugged and grinned a bit. "Fine, suit yourself." Leading through the garden, they reached a closed off place surrounded by high walls and low growls were heard.

The prince sighed and shook his head, wondering if he should have come. It sounded very ... scary in there. "I am Prince Endymion Darien of the planet Earth ... I can handle a few animals. Yes, I can." He ignored the funny look he received from the princess and recited the mantra over and over again.

Serenity wondered briefly if the prince was a bit ... weird in the mind, but decided not to question it. Reaching the gates, she smiled at the guards who were shuffling their feet nervously. "I'm sorry I'm so late today."

"It's alright your highness ... but they seem very hungry today."

"Heh ... well, they probably would have just eaten you two." Winking at them she walked through the doors, followed closely by the prince who still was muttering that stupid mantra under his breath.

"Ah, there are my babies..." Quickly she walked up to a cage, opened it and stepped back. Instantly, two figures flew out, their wings spanned out. One was black and the other white, flying around in circles and then landing on their knees in front of Serenity. Endymion gaped in awe as she walked up to the two beasts and hugged their necks, giggling.

"What sort of creatures are these?"

"They're creatures native to the moon. They're said to be gifts from the goddess and that's why they so love the royal family. But none had been seen for centuries, until ten years ago ... when I was but a little girl. I was out in the gardens playing and these two appeared, little pups then. I grew close to them and my mother allowed them to stay. Calling them gifts for me from the goddess herself."

Darien watched as her voice changed from the low, masculine voice he had grown accustomed to listening to a soft, almost musical voice and smiled softly. So, even this man-like woman was as feminine as the next. The creatures were magnificent. They resembled humans, but much larger towering over eight feet with long hair flowing down to the soles of their feet. They were one color all over, except for their face. There were the faces of children, holding the innocent joy of a child as they nuzzled Serenity. It was impossible to tell what was female or male. They also seemed to glow with a bright silver light that made them seem ethereal.

The black one turned towards Darien and growled, its face changing into the ones of a lion. Flying over to the prince, it started to sniff him and all the poor Earthling could do was stand still.

"It's all right, Sana. He's my friend." The princess giggled as the black one sniffed one last time and flew back to Serenity. Its face changed back to the one of a child and playfully pushed the white one. The white one turned and pounced the other one, their faces constantly changing with their mood.

"They're quite ... amazing. The things they do with their faces ... what is that?"

"We don't quite know, but it does change with their moods, showing their emotions. They're so innocent - such wonderful creatures." She sighed happily and headed over to a large bin that contained glowing objects that looked like rocks.

"What are those?" He picked one of them up and but ended up dropping just as quickly when a bolt of energy shot out and went up his arm, creating a numbing pain. "What the hell?!"

"I did try and warn you, but you kind of picked up too fast." She, by now, was wearing thick gloves and a large helmet. Placing a little handle thing in bin, she quickly picked it up and threw it into bowls placed next to the creatures. He watched as the creatures went over to the bowls and picked them up by hand, slowly eating. Serenity turned back to the prince, smiling widely through a thick plexi-glass like cover on her helmet. "They're moon rocks infused with so much magic it can actually kill a normal person. Good thing you're not one."

"...Kill?" Darien suddenly turned very pale and faint, absorbing the fact that he could be dead at this instant.

"Yep! Dead ... gone ... kicked the bucket ... a rather painful death actually..." She engorged into the details of how a person would die by one of those, not noticing the fact that the prince seemed to be getting paler by the moment.

"Princess Serenity...?"

"Hmm?" She looked up and watched curiously as the prince swayed a bit. "Something wrong?"

"I'm ... not feeling so well." With that he fell, only to have a pair of arms grab him and drag him to a chair.

"Ugh...men. Such wimps." Taking out a handkerchief, she started to wipe the sweat that appeared on his forehead. "Ha! Mention one thing about dying and they go all weak-kneed."

Darien at the moment was not feeling very well, but the princess' eyes kept swimming into view. "... Such beautiful eyes..."

((Note: ... That kiss scene below? Is not written by me. ::blush:: Me too shy to write things like that. Okay ... back to the story.))

Serenity lifted her head at those words, but decided to ignore it. "Goodness, it's not like as if you had di--mmmpph!" The next thing she knew, a pair of strong lips were attached to hers. A gentle tongue probed at the corners of her lips and she opened, allowing him access to the deepest regions of her mouth. A deep moan arrived from the back of his throat as he grabbed her and pulled her onto him, so she straddled him.  It didn't matter that she was taller than him at the moment; all he was focused on was her lips. Their tongues danced and twirled around as his hands started to explore hesitantly.

That's when a huge roar exploded into the air and the poor prince felt something rip him away from the princess. Above him stood the white creature, her sharp teeth barely an inch away from his face. "I'm sorry! I'll never kiss her again!"

"Aria! That's enough! He wasn't hurting me!" She pulled at the arm of the white until it let go and backed away, prowling near the two. Sighing, the two royals once again became very quiet and walked out of the gate.

"Hey, you guys! The guards told me you would be here..."

"Shut up, Andrew ... all your fault." Was Serenity's only reply as she stomped ahead, her hulking shadow disappearing slowly.

Darien glanced at Andrew and stared at the bruises that seemed to be all over the man. "Uh ... did you get attacked?"

The blonde man laughed and scratched the back of his head. "Yea, by the princess. Now what was my fault?"

"Uh ... nothing."

"You've got lipstick all over your lips." Andrew laughed as the prince tried to scrub with his sleeves. "She got to you too? Almost every male on the moon is in love with her..."

"You're going to help me with something, Andrew." He ignored the statement and continued to walk.

The blonde man quirked an eyebrow and gave a questioning look. "Huh?"

"You're going to help me find that idiot Jadeite, get the secret out of him, and then kill him!! Mwahahaha!"

Andrew sighed a bit and rubbed the back of his head. "Yep, you two were made for each other. Scary enough for the both of you."
