Summary: Kunzite's a hard-core cop and closet Venus groupy. Minako is dating his partner disguised as a 'normal girl.' Death Phantom has achne. NOT a sequel. CAN stand alone.

Author's Notes:

They don't remember anything of the Silver Millennium, so this is a sort of second meeting. That is, they fall in love all over again. I always love how people fall in love, but the relationship afterwards tends to get dull (they're just all lovey-dovey and the lack of conflict tends to draw a flat plot). So, along with the Silver M. version, I'm giving a double-dose of the fall.

Considering I gave Kunzite blue eyes in the Silver Millenium version, I'll attribute his new (correct) grey eyes to a glitch in the reincarnation process. ;;

I would like to credit Elements of Desire for the tone. Her "Memories" stories were really inspiring for my vision of Crystal Tokyo.

Quotes from Manga:

"Several centuries ago, on Earth, in Crystal Tokyo, There was a person who revived the crime and murder that people had begun to forget. The Mad Dictator Phantom. He had the Black Crescent symbol on his forehead. Neo-Queen Serenity, who until then, had only watched over the quiet Crystal Tokyo, took a stand that one time. He was captured and sent to Nemesis. And, thereafter, that planet became forbidden. Finally, peace returned, but Black Moon showed up, but this was later." (Endymion)

"Death Phantom. The most vile criminal in the past. He was a psychic with the powers of Demon Hands and the Evil Eye. He destroyed Crystal Tokyo and turned it into a city of violence. It was a horrible era of ruin. Even though he was a psychic, he was still a human, so the Queen couldn't execute him. She feared him, and sent him to the farthest planet of the solar system. Nemesis is a planet cursed by the Phantom." (From File)

Wish

"Usako."

Her pulse quickened at the intimate whisper and she leaned back into her husband's warmth. How long had it been since she had become Queen? She wasn't sure.

"Usako," Endymion repeated. His chin was on her shoulder and she looked at him in the mirror, trying to put her earrings on at the same time. He wasn't wearing the domino mask and his dark hair fell into wise blue eyes shadowed with worry. "I need something, Usako. A favor."

She frowned; he was being too serious. She turned and kissed him carefully. "Anything, of course. What do you want?"

Instead of speaking, he went to his desk on the other side of the room and pulled out a long, flat box. She recognized it as the one that held his domino mask and didn't understand why he wanted to show it to her. Neo-Queen Serenity moved forward to get a better look. The inside was laid with dark blue velvet – the same color as his eyes – and the white mask sat imperially in a perfect crevasse in the center of the box. But instead of lifting it out, as she expected, Endymion flicked a latch and opened a small, secret compartment, pulling out a silk pouch.

"What is it?" she asked breathlessly.

Endymion poured the contents of the pouch into his white-gloved hand and looked at her. "They were my guards. They never got the chance we had, Usako. They deserve any life I can give them."

She looked at him. "You want me to bring them back."

He held the four stones out to her and she took them, running light fingers over them. "I want to give them the normal lives they never had. I owe them that much."

The Queen smiled at her king, love welling up in her. He was such a good, thoughtful man. She didn't deserve him.

"Can you?" He was anxious.

"I will," she said, kissing him again before turning. "Have the servants bring my dinner here. I will be too tired to come down after I finish this."

"Thank you," he hugged her again, making her smile and fight back a girlish giggle, before she left. Four names ran through his head.

Kunzite, Nephrite, Jadeite, Zoicite. . . .
