DISCLAIMER: Sailor Moon and all related characters are the property of Takeuchi Naoko. Not me...obviously, my talents are not nearly as good as the owner of such a story. This story on the other hand...I don't know much about what happens after Super R, although I know about Crystal Tokyo and such, but this takes place when Rini, as the anime calls her, is 16.(which I will call her here if you don't mind, if so tell me another name, theirs a list of them beside my comp, this ones less.confusing. Sarena will be neo Queen Serenity or Usagi, Darien will be Mamouru, Helios/Elios and the rest is common sense if you know the series. Well that's about it for now. It is crystal Tokyo, but forgive my mistakes.

....................................

"Come to me.let me help you...I want you now" A seductive and yet terrifying voice called out.

"I wont! You cannot do this!" A familiar voice cried out. Elios backing away as he glanced around. The shadows where drawing closer towards him. He only thing he could do was watch as his beautiful dream world, began to twist and turn, being manipulated as soon as part of the shadows touched a part of it. Like the oceans tide, sweeping over ever so slowly toward him.

"Come to me, you cannot run.Brother!" The voice echoed through the shadows. And with that final word, Elios gasped, the shadows had surrounded him entirely, backing away, but only to have it come from behind, now stuck on a small isle, that remained untouched form darkness' grasp. It wouldn't touch him.but it wanted to, it fed off his essence, wishing to consume him whole, and it looked as if the shadows, blanketing this once beautiful world, where now an ocean, and he stuck on a mini isle left to himself.

"Where are you?" Elios whispered as she searched the skies for one last glance, the stars that where peoples dreams, there hopes, where slowly dyeing out. It had been a long time since he had seen his little one.Where was her light? Her beautiful light, that held such sweet dreams.. It had disappeared long ago from his skies.

"Rini!" He cried out, and then fell silent.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Rini Gasped as she sat up quickly in her bed, glancing around. It was still dark outside.through the window a soft light shining through from the clear sky above, but she didn't enjoy the scenery tonight. Like all nights for the past week, she had always been awakened by a reoccurring dream.

"Elios.where are you." she pressed back the tears before they dared to escape her eyes, not wanting to cry, she had for to long now. But these dreams.what did they mean? For a few years now, she had lost contact with her love totally, and now...to see him in such dangers, why was her mind so merciless to her own heart?

Slowly she made her way off her bed, glancing around a moment. 'How silly I must appear' she thought, peering into the shadows, to make sure there was nothing there. And yet...wishing there were, maybe it would take her to her Elios. But she had no such luck.

Why could it not be as simple as her mother and father?, they had two lives together!, one on the moon, then reborn on earth.oh what she would give to be with him like that! Turing her back to the shadows as she sadly started to shuffle her feet back to bed, yawning lightly. Still upset, but their was nothing she could do.

Her mother and father had gone away on business again. Off, to find a suitor most likely. She had turned down a few already. Every time she saw one, no matter how charming and promising.she always saw Elios's smile, feeling his kiss on her lips, like the one he gave her the last time she saw him. And this made her always refuse instantly.

"Little one.." she heard a whisper, and gasped turning around. "Elio-." but as soon as she looked...nothing more then shadows.Raising her hand up towards her heart. Feeling as if it was shattering within her chest, and held in a soft sob. "Why? Why did you abandon me Elios? I cant see you anymore.My dreams are only of tragedy, or of nothing. And now, I am haunted by your very memory, the only thing I have left of yours, that no one can take away.not even I.not that I want to.." she sat down at her writing desk and rested her head on her arms as she let out a soft sigh.

Now reminiscing on all the times they had together. So young was she then.and foolish. She didn't cherish those days like she did now. Countless times she found herself asking. "What if" She could go mad with all the choices she could have made, to make his stay longer when she was but a child.

And as she remembered those days, where there time together seemed endless, and a simple moment apart, seemed as if it where the end of the world. Now drifting off into another sleep, this time. No dreams came.

: The next day:

"Rini...please come here, we have a guest for you!" The familiar voice of the queen serenity rang out towards Rini's bedchamber.

This was an all too familiar tone as well...a guest? Rini stirred from her seat at her desk and glanced around, wincing as the light from outside light shone through her window. Reflecting off the walls of her room and hit her eyes. It stung at first, but then her eyes adjusted, and she sighed.

"Coming." she said in a faulty, cheerful tone. A guest meant another shot at a suitor. Getting dressed quickly, and fixing her hair once more into they're long pink pigtails before heading out of her room. It was impolite to keep a guest waiting.impolite to look improper. Why must she always be polite? She just wanted to relax, like the old days.before this all happened, when she could just be a kid, and run and laugh, and be a spoiled little brat as Serena had called her. She never thought of her past mother...as actually her mother and so called her that.

But no, now she had to act a certain way, look and dress a certain way. It was rather aggravating. Why did she bother? She would only refuse this one as well! But as soon as she was at the top of the stairs, Rini nearly fell down then headfirst. Could it be? Standing there was a striking resemblance of her love..

"Ah there she is, Princess Serenity.this is Tailis, Future ruler of the outer galaxy, Prince Tailis, my daughter" The queen smiled lightly, her white hair in the same pigtails as her daughter, but nodded" I will leave you two to talk.." she started to walk away passing Rini as she finished walking down the stairs and smiled lightly to her, managing to sneak a word of two to her daughter.

"Be nice to this one" with a small chuckle, the queen went towards the gardens, and as she said, she left the two alone.

There was an eerie silence as they both stood there. Rini looking over the Prince, seeing his features, and sighed.how much he looked like him...but no.. He wasn't. He had white silver hair.long and slightly tangled, covering his eyes a moment before the brushed them away and smiles softly.

"Princess.may we take a walk?" he asked with a coy smirk. She didn't like that smirk.

She nodded, agreeing to accompany him, to show him the grounds, amuse him a while until he left, and then, she would never say a word to him again just like the rest. This one was, and she could tell by a simple gesture. But his words he was only in it for the wealth. When she spoke. He didn't listen totally, nodding as he glanced around the area, at the palace, the people, and a few girls that walked by, but she pretended not to notice. And when he started to talk, it was all boosting his ego about his lands, how much better everything he had was, and how great he himself was.

She had managed to make it through two whole hours of this torture. How much longer could he talk. Sighing as they stopped, and he explained how to fix the scenery a bit.

"you see, its all in the architect...this place could use some fixing up...but with a little-" she had stopped hearing him there, her mind wandering on elsewhere as her physical form, nodded lightly occasionally at just the right time. Going into a daydream..

"Hello little one." a voice whispered, and she sighed softly, to hear his voice was so soothing, her past stress and whatever aggravation prince Tailis had caused her disappeared. Turing her gaze to pour into that of Elios. It was a memory really, and yet not. It was another 'what if'

"Oh Elios..." she whispered tears in her eyes as she ran into his open arms and took his gentle embrace, crying softly. She was younger in this dream, for ti was a semi memory, but then she turned into the age she was now, looking into his eyes and smiled softly. Half closing them as she came in for a kiss, and so did he, and felt them as they came pressed to hers gently. His arms around her waist.his scent, oh the memories she had, but then gasped as she opened her eyes, this wasn't Elios!

She was stuck half in her dream and half in reality. Tailis having his arms around her and kissing her softly, but in her dream she saw something else. An evil presence wrapping its arms around her and trying to draw her in. She tried to scream but fear taking over.

"Princess?" Tailis asked confusion and worry running through his mind as she held the petrified Rini in his arms, she grasped the sleeves of his shirt tightly and let out a scream.

"No! Let me go!" people looked in there direction, Rini trying to get away. The prince unsure of what's happening, seeing she was in a somewhat crazed state, held her fast to ensure her safety.

In the daydream she felt herself being suffocated, the darkness flowing through her, into her, taking out every bit of breath, causing her to feel faint, managing to whisper out her loves name in hopes of his help.

"Elios" she whispered, and then fell limp in the prince's arms, not awakening from her uninterrupted sleep.

Well that's it for this chapter, R & R please ^-^
