Summary- Just wanted a little fun! Heh, heh... The batman thing is a long time joke with some friends of mine, so it's pointless to ask. And, sad to say, I am in high school, and me and four of my high school friends (one being a senior) are still in love with the Scouts. Yes, we did label ourselves... hence the 'I am Rei' thingy. Just thought you guys should know. Anyway, on with the summary! Last chapter all the princesses were in battle as Scouts, but something terrible has befallen out beloved Princess Serenity. In this chapter, it's up to you to decide whether it's a tortured dream or a possible reality. Also, the new evil is brought up slightly... and we'll be staying in the past of Crystal Tokyo a lot.

Shadows of the Heart

The warmth that had previously washed over her was now gone as the black cloud in the sky above had shaded the sun. Now, it felt as though she were thrown into a cold ocean, and a little warmth coming and leaving with every ebb and flow. She shivered, realizing that she was no longer in her Fuku, but dressed in her finest gown. She looked around her, trying to figure out where she was, and saw that she was in Crystal Tokyo. Specifically, on the main path that led to her palace. She walked along the path, searching for someone, anyone, but it seemed that everything was deserted.

She continued walking, and found nothing but shadowed houses and empty streets. She felt so... isolated. That's how it always was though. Even with her life on Earth, she was alone. People had generally liked her, but many more were just uncomfortable around her. It always seemed as though, under the bubbly exterior, she held a profound wisdom. Some would've said that she was just and 'old soul', which is true, but her destiny separated her. Even the girls had trouble adjusting to her. She always feared that they hated her. Because she wasn't as smart, hardworking, pretty, and other things. That, overall, she wasn't the princess they wanted. She wanted to believe that they all loved her, but she couldn't help but think that they thought some of the things that she thought of.

The planet Mercury was known for its intelligence, Ami living up to that reputation quite well. The planet Jupiter was recognized for its dedication to the finer details, such as cooking, cleaning, child rearing, ect. Also, botany, the study of plants. Working together with Mercury, the medicinal technology became more advanced. The planet Venus was known for good will. They had all the basics down, but they were known for never quitting. They were said to have more heart than any other planet. The planet Mars, and she had loved this planet, was known for its extraordinary fighting ability, and many of them could read tarot, and a few were even said to be psychic. Then, then there was the Moon. A small colorless, eventless rock. The Moon was known for the royal family and the Senshi, that was it.

Sometimes, back on Earth, she would wonder if Rei was right. Why should she be leader? Rei was of Martian decent, she would've done better. She was from the Moon, oh wow, so what? What did the Moon offer that was better than the others? She was taken out of her thoughts as she had stopped before a palace. It wasn't hers, as the palace was built out of a stone material, hers was built from an opaque crystal. It was Endymion's, she remembered it well from her visits, official and unofficial. It was odd to see it here on this grey ball of dust, when it should be on Earth, thriving in the color and sound.

Suddenly, the black forgotten cloud above her let down another vapor. Something told her to try and get away, but a deeper part of her, a more knowing part of her, made her stand her ground. She had a feeling that it had something to show her. She allowed it to slowly snake its way up her form, pulling her dress tight against her. It stopped at her hips, and lifted her up. She watched as everything below her grew smaller and smaller, until her attention was taken away by what was going on in front of her. She realized that she was hovering before a curtained window.

Endymion's room, she thought, a breeze passing by. She had seen his room many times, and those times brought a blush creeping across her cheeks. But it wasn't as bad as the girls always thought. When they caught her all those times coming back from Earth, they always made up evil stories. But what she did with her Endymion was her business, so she never gave any justification to the stories.

She saw that the breeze pushed back the curtain, as if the opening of a play, and revealed a man and a woman together. The pigtailed girl blushed, but she couldn't look away. There was apparently something she had to see here, maybe it was these lovers, maybe it wasn't, but it was something.

The man was dressed in only a pair of worn black sweatpants, leaving his broad, muscular chest exposed. His face was shadowed, as the meager lighting of the room wasn't helped any by the cloud blocking the sun. The sun wasn't blocked to the point where it could be considered eternal darkness, but more of a constant cloudy day. He was clutching a girl to his bare torso, and the only thing she was clad in was a black bed sheet, that, while half still remained on the large bed, the rest draped onto and across the floor, barely covering her bottom as she held it to her side, blocking a top view.

She saw that they both had dark hair, and they felt familiar to her, yet different. The woman had long hair, it was touching just above her bottom, it shifted slightly as she sighed and pressed her face into the man's chest. He, in response, wrapped his arms around her, muscles flexing as he gave a little squeeze. Then, the pigtailed girl heard their voices, distant and faraway.

"What are we to do?," the woman asked, looking up at the man.

"We can continue like this," he answered.

"No."

"Why not?"

"What good is she to us now? Why can't we just leave her be?"

"She's given me everything I have today. She was- is my beast friend. She's your wife! Gods above... why not just tell her?"

"You've seen her mental state," his voice, now ice cold, answered.

"Well, why must you hide me? And I you?," she asked, her voice close to tears.

"The others, your friends included, would look down on this. No matter how we explained it. You know that."

"Yes, but... I love you," she whimpered, and then burst into tears as she leaned against his body. He tried to soothe her, running his fingers through her long dark tresses, whispering soft words to her, but she wouldn't let it go. He knew what he had to do, and how he had to do it. It ripped at his heart to do so, but he lifted her face and gently pushed away her tears with his thumbs as he cupped her face in his hands. She sniffled, eyes still tearing, as he leaned down and whispered what he knew she wanted to hear:

"I love you." One kiss led them back to the bed, and unnoticed went the floating blonde beauty outside his window. A slender hand was covering her mouth as her delicate lips quivered, not knowing if to laugh or cry. Her deep blue eyes grew moist as she heard the cries of ecstasy that emanated from the bed. Not just once, but over and over. They seemed to echo in her mind, the deep groans and pants of someone she thought she knew and the higher moans of someone she might've been close to.

"W-who are you?," the pigtailed girl asked quietly from outside the window. This was killing her inside, but she had no idea why. When they had finished, after what seemed like hours of endless eternity, the man rose slowly from the bed, his pants now gone, the dark haired woman was awake, but was still, giving the falsehood of sleep. She watched through half lidded eyes as the man left the room, and soon running water could be heard. A little later he came back into the room, hair damp.

Bunny, Serena, Serenity, my Princess and Queen, he thought, invoking all her names in respect and remorse. Forgive me.

"Darien...?," the woman from the bed asked, sitting up. He froze in place, his stance shifting so that she could tell she angered him.

"Never, ever call me that again. I am Endymion to you, and you know it," he growled, and continued to bed.

"But-," she started, but was cut off as he roughly grabbed her wrists. He leaned in closer, noses almost touching.

"But nothing. Darien is between me and my lo- wife. Serenity, your Queen, is the only one allowed. Do we understand each other, Rei, Princess of Mars?," he asked, using a quiet but deadly formal tone. He talking to her as if she were a child being scolded.

"Yes," she murmured, cheeks flushed. He looked at her, seeing her look so innocent, like his love once used to.

"Hit me," he said, a small smile on his lips.

"What?," she asked in disbelief.

"Hit me."

"No."

"Do it."

"No!" He pushed her back on the bed, hard, still holding onto her wrists. Then, he climbed on top of her, spreading her legs with his own, so he could sit over her, his manhood starting to reawaken against her thigh.

"Hit me," he growled, trying not to sound aggressive as he pushed her wrists further into the bed.

"I-I can't."

"Why not?"

"You're holding my hands." He promptly let go, still hovering above her, and his demand was the same. She clenched a fist, and closed her eyes as she slammed it down onto his shoulder. He dipped a bit as contact was made, she was strong, but so was he. The pain wonderfully erotic and it gave him a sense of repent.

"Again," he breathed, voice thick with arousal. She did as he requested, and soon they were in the throes of passion once more. This time, more raw, basic, and primal, but with every hit, he envisioned his true love. It was his Princess that slapped him, that was leaving scratch marks across his back, and it was her that would scream his name over and over if only in his mind.

From the window, the pigtailed girl watched it all commence with widening eyes at the scene being played out before her. But her attention was soon taken away as she felt the grip of the vapor suddenly loosen, pulling her down, away from the sight before her.

No!, her mind screamed as she sunk downward. Then the cries of the two reached her ears. She curled up as she covered her ears, trying to keep the sound from entering her mind.

"No... No! NO!," she screamed, but no one heard.

On a dark planet far away, a man laughed as his Desires' worst nightmare had just come true before her very eyes.

"Soon sweet one. So very soon," he purred to the mirror hovering before him that held her image.
