Sorry that it has taken me so long to update but I really haven't felt like updating. :sighs:-Monday, August 01, 2005- I got my wisdom tooth removed and my ex is getting married. (Read my story Love and Loss if you want to know why that is so bad!) I'm happy for him but he is marrying the woman he cheated on me with . . . that an she (he is 19 and she is 33) is 13 years older then him and he broke up with me b/c of 'age difference!' :Sighs: oh well . . . ! But on a lighter note yesterday I went shopping and bought me a pair of shoes, a long jean skirt (it reaches my feat!), a long tan skirt, a red skirt w/ gold designs that reaches my knees, a new jean jacket, a pink tank top, and a pretty tan dressy designer tank top! YAY! Oh and I went to Suncoast and bought two Chibi's: an Inuyasha, and a Sesshy one! They are so cute! I just love them! So screw my ex and his (excuse my language) fucked up mind and marriage and YAY that I got to go shopping and get to go again this weekend! YEAH! I feel better now! Oh and some of you are upset with how I am treating Rei but like I told someone in my other fic. Don't judge a book by its cover! I am very complex person . . . one thing may look like something else but in reality it isn't. I'll just leave you to ponder on this for a while . . .

Well here is Part 3 of the ball!

"Princess Rei, what brings you out here?" Prince Diamond asked as he watched Princess Rei walk out onto the Balcony.

Rei turned to face him, "I came out here because I was just dropped by that Lord Sesshomaru!"

Prince Diamond smiled lightly at the thought. Rei noticed the smile and sent a small warning glare to him, "Why does that amuse you so, Prince Diamond?"

Prince Diamond turned around so that he was facing the Ball Room entrance, "I do not find it amusing just interesting!" he said as he leaned back on the balcony's railing.

Princess Rei lifted up a delicate eyebrow at Prince Diamond's words, "Why do you say that?"

"Because!" Prince Diamond left off as he pushed himself off the Balcony railing and headed back inside. This left Princess Rei to ponder on his words.

"No there isn't-"

"Yes there is!" Serenity said as she interrupted Edymion and looked up at her savior with pleading eyes.

Edymion glared at Serenity while releasing her wrist. He didn't need to attract to much attention right then or else everything would be ruined.

"So I take it you were thanking Serenity for the dance and was about to leave?" her savior said as he took a step forward so that he and Serenity were standing side by side.

Edymion glared at him but nodded slowly, "Yes indeed!" Turning to Serenity he bowed low before turning on his heel and heading to the opposite side of the castle.

Serenity sighed in relief, "Thank you so much!"

" . . ."

Serenity sent him a small glare but decided it was futile and decided to head back to her seat. Before Serenity could even take three steps toward her destination her savior reached out and took her hand in his.

Spinning around Serenity looked up at him astonished, "What?"

Serenity was answered by her savior yanking her arm lightly thus causing her to be pulled toward him and bumping into his chest.

A small blush started to make its way to Serenity's cheeks but she fought it down. "I take it that we are going to dance?" Serenity said dumbly.

Even though she wasn't looking at him she could feel him smirk lightly as they began to dance to the music.

Serenity had to admit the dance was wonderful and she wished she could stay like this but unfortunately she couldn't.

Soon the song came to an end and the dancing couples left the dance floor for a brief intermission.

"Thank you Sesshomaru!" Serenity said as she curtsied.

Sesshomaru wasn't sure what had gotten over him and had caused him to dance with her but he had to admit it was quite enjoyable.

Sesshomaru nodded lightly as he and Serenity made their way back to their seats.

"Aww wasn't that sweet!" came the chorus of three familiar inner planetary princess'.

"They make a beautiful couple!" Amy said dreamily.

"That they do!" Lita said as she sighed.

Mina giggled but had to admit her friends had a point and man was Serenity lucky. Sesshomaru was H. O. T. HOT! Mina smiled and wished her friend the best of luck.

:After the ball and the guests have left:

"Sesshomaru what's wrong?" InuTaisho questioned his son.

Once the party had ended InuTaisho and Sesshomaru had retired for the night but ended up in their planning room instead of their beds.

"That dark haired prince that was annoy the Princess had the same scent that of the intruder!" Sesshomaru growled out as his eyes flashed with anger.

InuTaisho's eyes widened at what his son had just informed him.

"Are you positive?"

Sesshomaru nodded and tried to keep his anger in check. He had to calm down! There was no need to get worked up over Serenity. She was just another woman in his life and most likely after this visit he will never see her again.

"Why didn't you inform me earlier?" InuTaisho said as he balled his hands up into fists.

Sesshomaru turned his head and gave his father and emotional look, "That would have caused too much attention and if any riot were to have happened it would have drawn unnecessary attention. I don't think the Queen or Serenity would have enjoyed that!"

InuTaisho realized what his son was saying was true. Calming down he sat in the soft chair behind his desk, "What actions should we take?" he mumbled to himself as he propped an elbow on his desk and let his chin rest on his hand.

". . ."

"We will definitely need to tell the Queen and let her decide if it is best to inform the Princess; however, do you think we should extend our stay and make sure the Princess is safe?" InuTaisho questioned Sesshomaru while never taking his eyes off him.

Sesshomaru thought for a minute before nodding, "I also believe that the dark haired prince has something to do with the troubles on earth. I sensed an evil about him and his scent had an unnatural smell to it!"

InuTaisho's eyes started to glow and flicker red as his anger grew. If that pompous prince had anything to do with his mate's death and the problems with in his lands then InuTaisho would PERSONALLY take care of the troublemaker.

"We'll inform the Queen tomorrow until then we need to rest up so that our minds will be well rested for the events that are sure to come in the future!" InuTaisho ordered lightly as he headed off to his chambers.

Sesshomaru just stood there for a few more seconds before he too headed to his chambers.
