A/N: Thanks as always to all the reviews…sorry no replies today…class is about to start and I want to post this for you guys now. I hope you like it and please review!

Endymion did not even try to sleep that night, or any night in the three weeks that Serenity had been gone from the castle. Instead he paced the balcony, his connection with Serenity allowed him to feel the pain Diamond was putting her through. Both emotionally and physically. It tore at him, it seems to rip his heart to shreds to sew it up and start all over again. He felt like his heart could bear no more and he wanted to kill Diamond regardless of what it caused him. He knew as a member of Serenity's court the vow was as like his own…and the consequences to both their honor would be worse than death.

"Serenity…how could you have done this? After all I had done to you why did you give up your freedom for me? Wouldn't you know I would have rather died than know you suffer so?" Tears slowly slid down Endymion's pale cheeks. He wanted to be with her, he needed to hold her, and protect her from this pain. He hoped the Senshi came up with something soon, otherwise he would just find a way to create his own portal and save her Serenity, damned be the consequences.

Caril went off in search of his sister. After seeing Serenity being taken away he had come to a decision. He knew as a member of Serenity's court he could not go after her, but if he angered the court and became banished then the consequences would only fall upon him and not dear Serenity. It would not be a member of her court going against the vow she had made and one they were required to support…it would be a rogue prince killing another rogue prince.

"Hotaru…" He came upon his sister standing with the other scouts in the library watching and trying to help as Ami looked over books. Hotaru turned to see her brother and her eyes blazed with happiness as she turned to hug her brother, but the moment they touched she knew his mind. Suddenly tears sprang from her eyes.

"Caril please dear brother…there must be another way! You cannot allow yourself to be banished from court! I'll never be able to see you again!" The scouts looked up and rushed to Hotaru to try and figure out what had caused the usually quiet girl to cry out so.

"Banished? Child Caril would never be banished from court. He will always be welcome on the moon." Haruka said placing a gentle hand on Hotaru's shoulder trying to comfort the obviously misguided girl. Hotaru ignored Haruka's hand and words and just stared up at her brother. After all this time and finally finding one another he would leave her…forever?

"It is the only way…can you not see in Endymion's eyes how Serenity suffers? We have been at this for weeks while he torments her! Serenity needs all of you…but me…me she can live without." The words burned into Caril's heart but he knew them to be true. The senshi were her friends and protectors, Endymion was her lover, and Andrew was enough of a brother figure for anyone…not to mention the generals. No he would not be missed much by the Princess.

"Is that all you are worried about dear brother? What of me? Does it not matter how I need you? I have lived without you for so long that I will not be without you again." Hotaru's forceful words brought surprise to the inner senshi, but Haruka and Michiru looked sadly upon the poor girl. This was her battle and they knew not to interfere though they knew Caril's idea was the closest they had come to being able to save Serenity.

"What about you dear sister? This is the Princess, the one you have sworn you life to protect. Do you not realize that there is not sacrifice too great to bring her back? She deserves all the happiness in the world not the pain Diamond is putting her through. Being banished from the Moon Kingdom is small sacrifice for bringing her home where she belongs." Hotaru looked as if she had been slapped, her brother was right. She had forgotten her duty…but why did it have to be Caril? Why did Caril have to be the one to go…she needed him.

"You love her." Mina's soft whisper rang throughout the library…and all looked to Caril in surprise…knowing Mina was never wrong on aspects of love. Caril gave a weak nod and they all understood. He knew he could never be with the one he loved and so he was willing to sacrifice himself for her. He could never have what his heart truly wished for.

"At the very least I can ensure that she will be happy once again, and knowing that she is happy will make me able to live the rest of my life in sadness." Caril bowed to the others, and gave his sister a hug. Pressing her deep against his chest. "You will always be in my heart little sister. Bring Peace to Saturn." His words caused tears to fall from the pale cheeks of Hotaru and he resisted the temptation to wipe them away as he went off to find Andrew to be banished from the Royal Court of Serenity.

"Serenity my darling, did you sleep well?" Serenity raised her head from the tear stained pillow and came face to face with Prince Diamond. After three weeks she thought she would have begun to get used to having to share a bed with the man who had ripped her from everything she loved, but yet seeing his face still caused fresh tears to well up within her.

She no longer even attempted to hide her tears…no matter how much she knew he enjoyed them. She couldn't block out the remorse she felt. It encompassed every bit of her being…the darkness of her spirit went perfectly with the pitch black of the walls.

"Serenity…it is high time you got used to this situation. You are going to be here for a long time…not to mention our wedding is coming up soon." His words caused the last shred of Serenity's heart to break away. It could not bear anymore of the pain…the pain of being away from Endymion, the pain of having to share a bed with man she despised a man who was not her Endymion, the pain of having to serve him in clothes that did little to cover herself…and now had come the final assault upon her heart…having to marry him.

She had dreamt of her wedding for as long as she could remember…the happiness she would share with Endymion radiating greater than the sun. But now it seemed bleak and desolate as if she were being sentenced to Hell.

"Serenity…why don't you come please you future husband and fulfill your vow." The tears stopped pouring from her eyes, Serenity, gave up on hope, on life. She closed herself off from the world and turned toward the man she would soon wed.

"Caril…are you absolutely certain about this?" Andrew looked sadly upon the Prince, half of him wanting to talk his friend out of it and the other half jumping for joy at the thought of rescuing his sister. Though the sound of the doors being thrown open kept him from making that decision.

"Andrew! I am going after her now! Her heart is so broken…My Serenity has given up all hope….she…she has surrendered herself to Diamond." Endymion crumbled to the floor, not caring that he was on his knees in front of Andrew and Caril, not to mention a number of palace advisors to oversee Caril's plan.

Andrew looked from Endymion to Caril, the latter's face set in grim determination. Andrew gave a slight nod and walked over to the sobbing Prince. "Endymion, Caril has found a way to bring her back. Have no fear Serenity will be returned to us." Andrew looked sadly to Caril, as Endymion looked up hopefully.

"How…How are we going to save my Serenity?" Caril looked over to Andrew and nodded. He promptly walked over to the kneeling Prince and punched him hard the face, knocking out the Prince and no doubt giving him a massive black eye. A slight grin crossed Caril's face, that itself was almost worth being banished.

"Prince Caril, in laying an unfriendly hand upon the Prince of the Earth and the bethrothed of Princess Serenity. I hearby find you banished from the Court of the Moon, and if you ever return to the court that you have betrayed you shall be executed." Andrew nearly hesitated as he said the last word. Caril was sacrificing his throne and his home to save his sister…and he couldn't help but wonder why.

"You have been found guilty in the eyes of this Royal Council and the decision that has been reached here can never be over turned. You will now leave this castle." With that, the Senshi hiding in a corner used their powers to transport him to the negamoon, giving him their strength, hoping it would be enough to defeat Diamond.

A/N: there I hope you guys liked it….like I said I am going to try and end it happy but no promises…
