To My mom who finally decided my room was clean enough to have to keyboard back! Gee I'm 19 and still get in trouble over my room. --

Oh yeah… Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

"You guys came all the way here? To save me?" Serena sat down with her two friends and they merely nodded.

"The young princess has appeared before us again." Hotaru spoke first. "You see she said that powers within you are growing, rapidly they are growing."

"I see…" Serena remained very quiet. For sometime now she had noted some changing within her, but nothing serious... or so she thought. "Well, there's nothing serious going on…" She smiled at her friends.

"My mistress…" Sakue came into the room. "It is time for dinner…"

"Give us a moment more please Sakue…"
"Okay, not too long before royally prude comes in here."

"You weren't making innuendos at him were you?" Serena looked at the blind snake who merely grinned.

"He asks for them with his cold demeanor. You'd think that having both you and lady Rin around he'd learn that smiling doesn't crack your face." Sakue said as the three females started walking away.

"Of course not, this is Sesshoumaru we're talking about. The only time a smile graces his face is when he's pissed enough to want to kill someone." Serena smiled then stood up nice and tall with a cold glare on her face. "How dare you say my tail is a boa? I will smile at you for making such a ridiculous and stupid accusation… then you will die!" She said and no sooner the group of girls walked in giggling.

"Love the boa Sesshoumaru-sama." Lita giggled as the three once widely known sailor senshi had sat at the table to eat. Sesshoumaru looked at the three females in complete confusion for a change, not that it was really evident on his face. Not even a moment later a stifled giggled erupted from "Inuyasha's woman" at the other end of the table.

"Boa…" She muttered as everyone settled in to eat.


"We want to go…" Rei stood nice and tall to stare down the time guardian in the face.

"But it's not entirely guaranteed to send you there and back." Setsuna frowned at the remaining senshi.

"We do not care. You say that her life is in danger, that she very well could die, but what are we to do? Sit back and let her die?" Mina asked

"She may not have been very enthusiastic about the whole princess thing but she genuinely cared about us…She took the time to get involved with all of our separate interests." Michelle whispered slightly. "And she probably doesn't mind too much about losing her place to you, she probably would prefer you to be happy."

"I know what it means to be loyal to a friend, but there will be no way possible to bring you back if I can't find the proper time slot. And if you die…"

"Then we die…" They spoke in unison.

"Setsuna, you may have been devious enough to let these things happen to her, but we are not the kind to sit back and watch our friend die. We've died for her before and we will do it again." The princess of Uranus spoke up with her heated determined gaze in her eyes. Setsuna looked at them all, each mirroring the look the princess of Uranus had been donning.

"I…" She started as her eyes traveled over them. Somewhere within her a slight pang of guilt washed over the heart that had once been full of loneliness.

"Don't gang up on her like that." The voice of King Endymion spoke up from the doorway. All the girls turned their attention to him and for a moment he felt like the cute guy that walked into a women's studies class… Like he didn't belong and yet every eye was searching him up from head to toe. He stood there looking at them all. They all stood upright and bowed.

"Ganging up on her? No, we were just telling our 'Queen' that we wish to go help our friend fight." Rei spoke up knowing full well she was stepping out of line being so demanding, but this whole situation had been handled in a dirty manner and she won't tolerate it. Her temper always did get the best of her… Endymion just looked at the group.

"You're all dismissed." He uttered. All soldiers bowed once more before leaving the room, after all he was king. When the princesses had all left the room Endy moved to close it. Not even a second after the door had closed a soft sniffle made its way to his ears.

"Setsuna…" He turned to look at her. Yes, the mysterious time guardian was crying.

"Why stand up for me?" She looked at him her eyes wild with desperation and confusion.

"You had your reason…" He stated simple while at the same time ignoring the thoughts he had in his own mind. "The situation could've been handled a lot better than you had handled it… but they're dedicated to her. Just as you were..." He looked at her. "They were barely conscious when you took her."

"I knew there would be difficulties to the change."

"Setsuna, go and look in on her. She's probably happy but still she may very well miss the others. Even if she didn't care for being the princess she still loved all of her friends just as if they were her sisters." Endy nodded to himself. Yes, that alone should start the ball moving.

Once he had crossed the room to leave she stood up waving her wand to enter the time gates. She walked down the long corridors of the realm almost as if she were nothing more than a walking corpse. Upon arriving at one mirror that had been made of solver with intricate designs engraved into the metal. Another tear fell as she reached out to touch it.

"I want to see the princess…" She whispered and the glass became hazy. When it cleared she saw someone, but not her princess… No, she saw a small girl with white hair with a mirror matching the silver one that had been kept in the time gates and beside her had been a taller girl with black hair and a fan in her grasps. She couldn't tear her gaze from the glass and just watched with wide eyes that had fear growing within their depths.

"Oh no…" She whispered taking a step back as the two females continued talking.


Wow! This place is much nicer than some of the homes of the nobles we've stayed in!" Kagome exclaimed flopping onto the padded futon that rested on the floor. A sweet orgasmic sigh erupted from her lips. "It feels like my mattress at home…" A serene look took place on her face. Shortly after a couple of other sighs followed coming from the throats of none other than Lita, Hotaru, and long time friend Sango.

"I don't see what the big deal is." Inuyasha grunted.

"Come on Inuyasha, I'm sure when you were younger you had a bed just like this." Kagome stood up.

"What's your point?"

"You mean to tell me you don't miss it at all?" She got on tip toe to meet his eye and still didn't quite reach.

"I'd be living here if I did." He gave her a look and she just rolled her eyes.

"No you wouldn't because between you and Sesshoumaru you both are bullheaded!"

"I'm not bullheaded!" Inuyasha declared in his defense.

"Awwww…." Lita and Hotaru called from the window drawing everyone's attention to them. Both girls were leaning against the open window with their chins resting on their palms with a wistful smile gracing their delicate faces.

"What?" Sango and Kagome asked in… well oddly enough unison. The two girls waved their hands as the group rushed to the window. There they saw Serena sitting next to a small pond out back of the home and Sesshoumaru standing a few feet away, allowing her the space she needed as she thought.

"I knew those two still had it bad for one another…" Hotaru giggled.

"I bet he made her his finally." Sango added as the four females looked at one another then at Miroku and Shippo who had grown extremely nosey and had come to the window to see.

"He probably has." Shippo agreed with the demon exterminator only to have the monk nod at same time.


"Serena…" He let out after watching her not move for sometime now. If not for the sound of her breathing he would've feared she had suddenly died.

"Something bad is gonna happen Sess…" She whispered. She heard his feet patter against the ground before he knelt behind her and wrapping his arm around her.

"What do you mean "bad"?"

"Something in me… is changing. It's changing for a good reason, but whenever my powers something seriously goes wrong." She pulled back to look at him. "What if Naraku's lame flunkies do kill me?" She asked looking at him.

"They won't. Not without taking my life first…" His voice let on nothing, but his eyes were a different story. He still loved her without a doubt, and the tension placed there by the poor choice those year ago was starting to dwindle more so after their first night together.

"Sess…" She tilted her head up to press a gentle kiss against his lips. She had pulled back slightly only to have his hand move from her waist to get a firm grasp on her chin hold her in place.

"Awwwwww…."

"I don't need to be watching my brother…"

"You're just jealous because it isn't you!" Hotaru giggled.

"Why would I be jealous of a guy who walks around with a stick up his-?"

"Inuyasha…" There it was… the warning.

"Come on Kagome you know it's true! He pretends to be tough but goes soft for a girl!" The panic in his voice was heard.

"I see… so no woman is worth you going soft for?"

"I didn't say that!"

"I can't stand you sometimes!"

"He's in a room of women… he can't win." Sess muttered with his voice letting nothing on. Just shaking his head at the simple thought that he was related to the half demon…

"Inuyasha's jealous because he fears he can't protect Kagome well enough if she becomes his woman…" Serena murmured sleepily against Sesshoumaru's chest. A moment later his gaze turned to the sleeping female in confusion. "Once that is secured he can stop pretending to be a hard body…"

'She… heard that…?' Sesshoumaru looked at the blonde female.
