Bittersweet Revenge

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter or Sailor Moon... I am merely using the ideas to try and create an entertaining story.

OK everyone... I just realised that this story is dragging on a fair bit... so I'm going to put in what happened on the Moon, and on Earth, in this chapter... the next chap will be Saturn and possibly their trip to the moon.

#(Last Time)#

On the Moon

"Rise Helios, you are the guardian of the dream world. We are equals. Now then I do believe this is my much loved granddaughter. It's wonderful to finally see you in person." smiled the queen, taking two steps to Rini and hugging her.

"Grandmother? Oh gods I've wanted to meet you for SO long!" laughed Rini, hugging her back with complete delight. The queen smiled and moved back to get a full look of her.

"You are just like your mother was you know that? Full of life and love. Always trusting, and very beautiful." she added on as an afterthought. Blushing, Rini looked down.

"I'll never be good enough to compare with Mother," looking up again she grinned, "but I can always try can't I?" this made the Queen smile,

"You'll never know just how much like her you really are. But come now, I know you must be tired. All three of you shall be shown to your rooms."

#(THIS TIME)#

Chapter 12 - The Moon and Earth

The three newest guests of the Moon palace, had been shown to their rooms, and Rini had blushed profusely when the queen had told them that she and Helios would be sharing a room, aka sleeping in the same bed. When she asked her grandmother why, Selene just answered, "Well you two were to be married before you left. If I'm correct, you would have already been married by now, had you stayed in your time and I believe that credits you to sleep in one bed. Besides, when you ARE married you'll be doing much more than just sleeping in the same bed, believe me."

This had made both blush deeply though Helios also smiled and wrapped his arm around Rini's waist lovingly.

That was ten minuets ago. At the moment Rini was standing out on the balcony to their room and Helios was changing his clothes inside. The pink haired princess was already in her nightgown, which happened too be a short white lacy thing that stopped at around mid thigh. Instead of being tight at her waist, it came in snugly under her breasts, before flaring out the rest of the way.

It didn't show anything indecent but was still extremely revealing. Thankfully, she was waring a matching white silk robe over the top. She was still very shy about sleeping in the same bed as Helios, but she had NO complaints.

"What are you thinking about?" came a husky voice from right next to her ear.

Fighting the urge to scream, she turned around and looked at Helios with a half hearted glare, "Don't sneak up on me like that!!!"

"I'm sorry Maiden." smiled Helios, wrapping his arms around her in a loving embrace. "What were you thinking about?" he asked again, not letting her go from his arms.

"Nothing really... I guess I was spacing" she had the decency to blush; when she realised he wasn't planing on releasing her any time soon. Shaking her head in amusement Rini decided to give in, so she moved closer and rested her head on his shoulder with a content sigh.

She felt his vocals vibrate as he chuckled softly.

"And exactly what are y- Yawn- you laughing at?"

"You Koi." he got a playful slap for that one. "Come on. You look and sound, tired." he led her back into the room and helped her get in bed before going around, and getting into it himself.

"Big Yawn Night Helios." she mumbled moving closer to the heat of his body and resting her head on his bare chest. (So he's wearing silk pants and a matching button up shirt that's not done up at all It's SILVER) She felt arms wrap snugly around her waist before a warm kiss was placed on her forehead.

"Goodnight my love."

On Earth

(Don't worry, I'll be going back to do more on the moon in a moment, but I'm doing Earth with it cause they are so close together)

At Dinner Time.
(This is the same night the scouts left. They left before dinner)

All the students were seated at their respective tables chatting and laughing, without a worry in the world. All that is, except 2 of them.

Harry, and Draco were both sitting stiffly, barely eating a thing, and at one point, Harry and Draco's eyes met, they both sent each other a sad sympathetic smile, small as it was.

Harry some how couldn't find it in his heart to be mad with Draco... Why? Hell he didn't even know... but he did know that for some reason, he felt connected to the Slytherin King...

Before he could think on it anymore, Dumbledore stood, and cleared his throat loudly. Instantly, the hall fell silent... "I have a... rather important announcement to make. Now I'm positive that you are all familiar with the local Sailor Scouts, who have been protecting us since the beginning of the term..." whispers rang out as he got the attention of everyone... teachers, ghosts, and students a like, "I see that has caught your attention. Very well, it seems that they have also been keeping a close eye on us, to see whether or not we are... trust-worthy, in a sense. Apparently we passed their test with flying colours and only this afternoon, I received a rather surprising letter, from Queen Selenity. Those of you who know your myths, will know her significance, for she is the Queen of the Silver Alliance making her the 'big boss' of the Sailor Scouts. I think I should read out this letter now. Let's see what you make of it..." he trailed as he took out the shimmering letter Setsuna had handed him earlier.

"To all those at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...

As Queen of the Silver Alliance, and mother of Neo-Queen Serenity, Queen of Earth, I hereby invite you, to come and join us on the Moon Kingdom for a month or so.

This will be a sort of 'test-run' before we reveal ourselves to all of Earth again. I shall leave it up to your headmaster, as to what years are aloud to come. Please note, that the moon is perfectly inhabitable for Terrans, and I shall send the royal guard (Sailor Soldiers) to escort you to the star-point in Crystal Tokyo, so you may teleport safely here.

This is entirely up to you, and the decision will rest on the shoulders of the staff. But I do hope you will take up this opportunity for it is rather rare.

Sincerely yours,

Queen Selenity of The Royal Lunarian Family, Supreme Ruler of the Silver Alliance, Daughter of the goddess Selene..." by the end of the letter, almost everyone had gone into shock. "As you can see, this news is quite incredible, so just to prove that this is in fact genuine and not a practical Joke, I have specifically requested Pluto, Guardian of time, to send a Scout to make an Appearance... Sailor Saturn... Please step forward."

Students began to look around the room frantically trying to see the scout in purple that had saved them first, and so many times after that.

"Hello Albus..." said a gentle, mysterious voice that seemed to come from the shadows just outside the great oak doors. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with laughter when he saw the two black-cloaked figures step into view, in the doorway.

"Hello Saturn... I was not expecting you to bring company."

The figure on the left pulled their hood down, revealing the beautiful face of none other than Sailor Saturn, whom at the moment looked very annoyed. "It was not by choice I assure you," she growled looking at the figure beside her that was holding a very deadly scythe. "But I guess that's what happens when your family is very protective." while she spoke this her eyes narrowed on her companion.

"Ah... I see. So whom may I ask is your friend? If it is not too rude..." everyone could tell he was laughing inwardly, and he made no effort to hide it.

"This. Is my brother, Delano... I don't think I'll give you his title because I'd rather not scare everyone to death."

"Very Well, Now I believe you had to deliver something..." smiled Dumbledore.

"Yes. Pluto told me to give these to the students while she sends the notes home to families... I assume you told her that only 6th and 7th years could go because I only have enough for them." as she said this, she grabbed something invisible with her hand, and pulled back. Instantly, a stack of about 100 letters appeared, hovering before her. Albus nodded with a twinkle in his eyes "These notes will give you all the information you need, and tell you what to bring." she addressed the students in the hall, before one note flew towards each 6th and 7th year student, and floating before them waiting to be picked up.

Many wows were heard running through the hall as some began to read the notes in front of them.

Through out her whole speech, Draco had watched Sailor Saturn closely. Her body language. Her voice. Her eyes. They all reminded him of her. Yes, Hotaru had been on his mind ever since she left. He had to keep reminding himself that Hotaru was half way to the muggle airport, to go too Japan to see family, so he would not think that Saturn was Hotaru.

"Now we must leave. We have... important business to attend to. Farewell. I will see you on the 15th." she began to turn, "until then Hogwarts." the cloak reappeared and shadows swam up to them from around the room, encircling the pair in their darkness. When they receded back to their original positions, Saturn and Delano were no where in site.

Chatter immediately erupted and soon, everyone except Harry, Draco and the Starlights were gossiping excitedly about the upcoming trip to the moon.

In the Moon Palace
Weeks passed in peace. Rini and Helios were spending lots of time together to catch up on what they had missed. Queen Selenity had offered to wed them here in this time but of course they had refused saying that she would be able to see the wedding in due time.

So day-by-day, they slowly grew closer. And soon, they were practically joined at the hip.

Many balls were held for them. As the future king and Queen of the Dream realm, or in their current state, the guardian of Elision, and the Princess of Earth, Daughter to King Endymion and Neo-Queen Serenity... they received MANY elaborate gifts and blessings.

But with these joyful times on the moon came the darker side. News of the Youma attacks on the Terran (Earth) had been rather depressing, and becoming more and more frequent. The Sailor Starlights were holding up fairly well, but without the advanced powers of Moon, Venus, Mars, and Saturn, the task was a much harder and much more demanding one.

There were less of them, so it meant each needed to use MORE energy, and using more energy meant becoming more and more tired. Rini had gone down as Moon twice to aid them in hopes of helping even a little, and it was always when they needed the help the most.

Helios on the other hand could do little, but help by sending them more strength from the realm of the dreams, and his half of the golden crystal.

And then there were the occasional attacks on the moon. When certain Youma worked up the guts and the stupidity, they would lead large, and I mean LARGE, attacks on the Silver Palace.

Such as what was happening right now.

Standing stiffly, Rini watched with tears in her eyes, from the balcony as the Royal guards protected the Moon palace. The Silver Crystal and the half of the Gold Crystal that resided in Helios protected them.

Her Father had returned to Crystal Tokyo, to run things down there, leaving Rini and Helios with the Queen. Rini didn't mind. She loved it here. But right now, she was itching to go help in the battle.

What was holding her back? Well other than Helios's arms around her securely, Queen Selenity had clearly shown that she would have none of it. #(FLASHBACK
A large explosion sounded in the back ground, as all guards protecting the palace, and in the barracks, rushed out, armed and ready for battle. However among all this chaos, there was a small group of guards guarding 1 room, which had 3 people in it.

"Grandmother, PLEASE let me go fight!!" begged Rini

"Sweetheart, I will not watch you be hurt in battle. You are to dear to me for that to happen. Darling please understand!" pleaded the Queen as she saw anger forming in the young princess's eyes, "You're all I have left of Serenity. I can't allow myself to let you fight."

"And I can't sit back and watch as others are hurt protecting us, when I know I could better handle those Youma than any one out on that battle field!" Rini was slowly working herself into a rage. It was VERY obvious.

"Maiden calm down. The Queen only wants for your safety, as do I. I couldn't bare you getting hurt either. Please, for once just listen to other peoples' concern. I know fighting is in your blood as the new Sailor Moon, but please... just this once, my love stay on the sidelines. For your own safety. The Youma are becoming braver and stronger."

"Yes of course they would be! With no Sailor Scouts to knock them into place, they are having a field trip!"

"Rini." said the Queen in a stern voice. "I gave my answer now calm yourself down. A princess should not let her emotions get the best of her."

"Really?" Sarcasm was dripping off the enraged princess's voice, "If mother had not let her emotions control her, then Beryl and, and the heart snatchers and, and Chaos. They'd all still be here!"

"Rini!" said a stunned Helios. He had never seen her –this- angry not even... no he didn't want to think about it, but the point was, she was really starting to scare him... "You should not show such disrespect to the Queen... Even if she is your Grandmother."

Taking a few VERY deep breaths, Rini slowly began to calm down. But then tears came to her eyes for more reason than one. "I'm sorry Grandmother... I. I. I don't know what got into me."

"It quite alright dear. Your mother has snapped at me a few times for the very same reason." smiled the Queen. Spitting image of her daughter, that's what the young pink haired princess was. A spitting image.

#(END FLASHBACK)#

He's never called me Rini...not even when he was in my dreams as a little girl! And he's siding with grandmother, when he knows I NEED to fight. Rini's tears were beginning to get too much, and slowly they began to fall...

"What's wrong?" asked a slightly startled Helios, tightening his hold on her, in a comforting gesture, but Rini never answered him. In fact, all she did was turn her head away from him and pull out of his hold, walking back into the room. "Maiden?" he asked, surprised at her behaviour but before another word was said, a guard marched into view and bowed,

"Your majesties. The Youma have been defeated and those who escaped us have retreated. Their number is few."

"Well done captain. Any casualties?" the Queen smiled gently

"No my Queen. None, just a few cuts and bruises, but with lunarian healers on it, that should be cleared up in no time."

"That is very good. Tell your men to return home for the week and stay with their families. "They are invited to dine with the royal family tomorrow eve. The whole kingdom owes them their lives."

"Yes my Queen!!" he answered with much enthusiasm, bowing low.

"Well now that that is over with, I need to get back to the ambassadors of Jupiter. They wish for new trades to be opened with earth." the Queen smiled, leaving the room.

Helios turned and went into the chambers and found Rini sitting at the dressing table brushing her long, silky pink hair. "My love? Are you ok?" he asked gently, taking slow steps towards her.

But his words had no effect on her, as she continued brushing her hair. "Maiden?" he asked, wrapping one arm around her shoulders and the other taking the brush from his soon-to-be-wife's hand. He began to brush her hair for her with tender, gentle strokes, "What is the matter?"

"..."she said nothing, but continued to stare blankly into the mirror.

"Maiden... what is wrong?" he pressed, spinning her around on her chair so she was faacing him. Setting the brush down on the dressing table, he kneeled before her, brushing her fringe to the side while he held her hands in one of his broader ones,

Her blank eyes came back to the present and she looked down at him, "Why wouldn't you let me fight?" her voice filled with hurt.

"I did not want you to get hurt love. Why else would I not want you to fight?" he was pained that he had upset her in any way.

"But you KNOW that being Sailor Moon, I NEED to fight." she said turning her head away from him, and staring down to Earth.

"Maiden. You know well and true that what I did, I did for you. There were too many for you alone. If the other Senshi were here then I would not mind as much, but they are not. You could easily be injured in battle. And no one was hurt were they?" he reasoned, though she still would not look at him.

There was silence in the room as Rini continued staring down to Earth. When she finally spoke it was in a broken whisper. "You. You called me Rini. You never use my name." tears came to her eyes, "The last time you did, it was because you were leaving and the only other time was when you were dying."

This had shocked him. He had not realised he had used her name instead of her pet names. "Maiden, it meant nothing. I was just surprised by your behaviour that is all." he rested a warm hand on the cheek facing away from him, and gently brought her around to look him in the eye.

"But… you-" Helios cut her off with a gentle kiss. Breaking away slowly,

"My love, it meant nothing. I'm not leaving you, I'm not dying and I'm not angry. I have no reason to be."

Nodding slowly, Rini hugged him tightly burying her face in the crook of his neck, "OK, good."

Chuckling, Helios rose to his feet, bringing Rini up with him, "Let's both just forget about this. Now how about we go to sleep?" he smiled when he noticed her yawning

"Ok." she nodded, rubbing her eyes cutely.

Moving towards the bed, Rini suddenly went rigid and spun around, looking through the open balcony door, towards earth, "They need me!" she gasped bolting out of Helios's arms and transforming as she ran towards the star portals.

Sighing sadly, Helios pulled forth the golden crystal from with-in him and sent a power boost down to the Senshi on earth. They would need the help he was sure. Once done, he walked out onto the balcony again to wait for his beloved to return.

Hogwarts

Meanwhile, as the weeks passed down on Earth, the excitement was rising. More and more owls arrived with permission slips signed and ready, and the talk about the excursion was dominating all over the school...

"I still can't believe we are actually going to the moon!" squealed Hermione clapping excitedly.

"Well believe it." grinned Seiya tiredly, "You're all going."

"You're parents still haven't returned you permission slips have they..." questioned Ron.

"Our parents are dead-" stated Yaten flatly.

"And our guardian is un-reachable." continued Taiki,

"So it's kinda hard to get them to right a permission slip." finished off Seiya

"Ok that right there... that was weird." Ron said, looking at them with a mock-
frightened expression

"Ron! That was insensitive!" reprimanded Hermione

"Sorry..." he mumbled apologetically.

"Don't worry about it. We got over it a long time ago." laughed Seiya waving off the apology.

They continued walking up to astronomy tower, discussing the sailor scouts and their upcoming trip. Upon arrival at the top of the astronomy tower, they threw themselves to the floor barely missing being hit by the balls of black energy, "Not again!" whined Yaten, as he pushed Ron, Hermione and a silent Harry out the door again "Guys, I don't have enough energy left to even transform!" he whispered, "I'll get them away ok?"

"Go Yaten. Taiki and I will handle this." nodded Seiya transforming into Sailor Star Fighter, as Taiki transformed into Sailor Star Maker.

"Let's show these pricks what happens when they mess with the Sailor Stars." nodded Fighter as Yaten ran down the stairs,

"Where's Taiki and Seiya?!" Asked Harry as they bolted down the stairs,

"Um, well they told me they were taking a different staircase just in case those monsters get past the scouts. You know, so it will be harder for them to get us!"

"Oh! Ok."

"STAR SERIOUS LAZER!" Fighter called out, bringing the stars circling her together as a beam of light shot out of them, dusting six in a row. She spun around kicked back another Youma as it tried to sneak up on her,

"STAR GENTLE UTERUS!" Maker raised a glowing star of energy above her head then flung it forward at a group of enemies. It bounced off one, dusting him, and flew in another direction, dusting five more Youma that came across it's path before it vanished.

"Maker! Are you alright?!" called Fighter as she dusted another eight Youma.

"Yes. For now..." she trailed off, doing a mid-air triple summersault to get out of the way of an acid spray. She landed just behind Fighter as their backs pressed against each other.

"We can't handle all of them alone!"

"Yes I know!. I am already feeling the lack of energy within me." answered back Maker, as she pulled fighter over her to kick out another few Youma that were closing around them.

"Goddess Selene! Please send help!!" called out both Senshi in unison

"STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!" fifteen Youma were incinerated where they stood, and another ten that were flying around the tower fell to the floor, injured, (remember, there is no walls or roof to this tower's top)

"Thank goodness!" Fighter sighed as she dropped into a crouch and kicked a Youma's feet out from under it.

"Fighter, Catch!" called Maker as she flung a sword to her fellow Senshi, "This better work or we're dead. I got them from the suit of armour just inside the door."

"Thanks Maker! Glad to see you again princess." nodded fighter in courtesy as she cut off the fallen Youma's head. It turned to dust in a matter of seconds.

"Are you both ok? Where is Healer?!" called Sailor Moon (this is Rini but since her mum is no longer the older moon, then there can be no mini moon so she is THE Sailor Moon now )

"She didn't have enough energy left from the battle this morning, to even transform so she went to make sure the others got away safely."

"Ok, so long as she's not hurt." smiled Moon as she took off her tiara "MOON TIARA MAGIC!" the disk of energy cut down five more Youma. Not much to go now. But she worried for the students gathering below, "LEAVE!" she called out. Her voice echoed and bounced off the walls of the castle, and she knew for a fact that the students heard her... but then why weren't they moving?

Harry Ron and Hermione ran through the castle with Yaten in the lead, heading to the closest safe exit. Through the corridors and down the stairs, the warned all they came across to follow them and to keep away from the astronomy tower as they finally made it through the entrance hall and out the doors. "Don't follow me. Please I must see something." begged Yaten

"No we want to see this."

"But it's dangerous-"

"We're coming Yaten. We can look after ourselves." stated Hermione

Yaten sighed sadly in defeat, "Fine but please be careful..."

They ran around the castle followed by fifteen other curious people until they could clearly see all the Youma attacking the astronomy tower. "LEAVE!" called out a voice.

"Wow! There must be at least a hundred up there!"

"No. Only 57 that I can see." Yaten said, worry in his eyes as he saw Fighter's attack light up the area again. Maker's attack soon followed but it disappeared when it was about 10 meters from the tower's edge.

"I hope they are alright."

"Don't worry yourself Mione. That's the Sailor Scouts up there. They will be fine."

"I agree with Hermione, Ron." sighed Yaten, "Even the Sailor Soldiers aren't invincible. At least, not entirely."

"How would you know that?" asked Ron

"Because I've seen them die. Each and every one of them have died at least six times."

"What?!" exclaimed Harry

Oh shit, I shouldn't have said that "Um... well yeah.... If you live in Crystal Tokyo, its normal for them to um hang around." he lied quickly. Well it wasn't a direct lie. They did visit Crystal Tokyo every chance they got

"Crystal Tokyo? Where's that?" asked Draco, just walking up behind them, alone for once.

"That's where Neo-King Endymion and Neo-Queen Serenity live and rule the world from! Goodness Malfoy, don't you pay attention in your History of Magic Classes? It's the Capital of the world!" reprimanded Hermione. She still did not trust him, and she still loathed the Slytherin King for all his years of torturing her.

"Mione, don't snap at him. I didn't even know that." Harry sighed. He did not know why he just stuck up for Malfoy, but it felt normal to him... which was completely bizarre.

Before Hermione could reprimand him too, ten of the Youma that were left began to try and escape. They swooped down and sprayed some acid and dark energy at the students who jumped out of the way, landing face first on the floor.

"You won't get away so easily." growled Sailor Moon as she jumped off the edge of the tower, plummeting to the floor, only to be picked up by the winds underneath the fluffy white Angel wings that sprouted from her back. She chased after them as two Senshi stood at the top of the tower.

A golden light shot down from the sky enveloping the astronomy tower and a few students on the floor, "Keep her safe for me." came an ethereal male voice as Yaten, Fighter and Maker felt their energy being replenished. Yaten caught his brothers'/sisters' eyes and they nodded, jumping off the tower too.

But wings never appeared on their backs. Everyone moved out of the way as both female Senshi landed with an almost cat-like grace on the ground. It would have been beautiful, had it not been for the small craters they had created.

Shocked gasps were heard as both Senshi started to glow. That glow spread through them to the ground, underneath the dark energy and acid. The grass regrew itself in a matter of moments and the acid vanished along with the black electricity (that's the energy). "You should not stand around gawking like fools whilst an enemy can clearly see and attack you." stated Fighter in an angered voice,

"And you should definitely not squabble like children." stated Maker in a more motherly voice, "If you are united, then you will always be stronger. Hatred amongst allies is never a good thing."

"Uh... um, Uhh... sorry." mumbled the students.

A few moments of intense silence followed as the Senshi surveyed the students before them. However the silence was broken by the sound of wings beating against wind as Sailor moon flew back towards them.

Landing a lot more lightly than the other Senshi. She looked at them, a frown marring her beautiful face. "I hope you will actually listen to instructions when you are on the Moon. It could be dangerous if you do not. Maybe we should call the trip off..."

"What?! No! Please Miss!" exclaimed Ron and Hermione at the same time.

"Well you completely ignored an order earlier. I told you to leave for your own safety and you continued to gawk and squabble. Do you think this is a game?" she questioned them angrily. Carelessness had almost killed some of her friends back home too.

"N-no ma'am." stammered the group.

"The dark energy those Youma sprayed at you. If that energy had touched any one of you do you know what would happen?" asked Fighter when no body answered she growled in frustration, "You would turn into one of them!"

Gasps resounded around the area, "As Sailor Star Fighter so kindly put it, yes you would turn into a Youma if the dark energy had touched you however if the green gunk they sprayed down had touched you, you would be dead. That is acid from the nega moon. It would not only eat at your body but your mentality and Soul. I'm sorry to frighten you but this is no game that you are just 'playing'. This is a war. A very dangerous war at that."

"Yes and if you don't listen to those experienced in these matters then you are bound to wind up dead and unlike us, you are not bound to this plain of existence, so you would 'stay' dead." Sailor Moon sighed, "I'm not trying to be critical or cruel but this is the harsh reality. Please, next time do as you are told. We destroy those monsters to keep you safe, not because we find it fun. If you do not keep yourselves safe than there is no point in us protecting you... Farewell for now. I hope next time we meet, we wont have to lecture you." she gave them a small smile before glowing a bright white and vanishing.

Without saying a word, Fighter and Maker glowed gold and vanished too.

"I don't believe it..." mumbled Hermione in a state of shock, "We- we almost became like-...like those things."

"You better believe it Hermione." sighed Yaten who seemed the only one unfazed by the scolding they had received, "I asked you not to follow me because I already know the risks. Many of my friends back in Japan have been killed or transformed into Youma. I did not want the same to happen here. I'm going to go find Taiki and Yaten... to see if they're ok." he amended quickly, before walking away.

"We were millimetres from death... and he's not even the slightest bit scared?" asked Draco in disbelief

"Apparently..." agreed Ron, eyes still wide.

Rini walked back into the bedroom, tired and aching. She had to physically fight the last Youma because she needed the rest of her strength to transport back to the moon and to sustain her wings. So naturally, she received a few blows all over. While pain was stifled in her Senshi form, she could feel the full magnitude of it now that she had de-transformed.

Flopping down on the empty bed with a groan, she closed her eyes, willing the power of the silver crystal to heal her as the white, semi-clear curtains of the bed fell around her. That's how Helios found Rini when he came back in from the balcony. She was shimmering light silver and her night attire had transformed into her princess dress.

"Maiden? Are you ok?" he asked, as he walked towards the bed and lay down beside her.

"Yes, I however just had to tell off some of the students..." she sighed sadly, opening her eyes and looking into Helios's bright golden orbs, "They almost got turned and killed." she had tears in her eyes

"Dark energy?" asked Helios, wrapping his arms lightly around her.

"And Nega acid." she saw him visibly wince

"And they just stood around gawking?"

"Yes..." she sighed

"But no one got hurt right? They were lucky enough to have a chance to be warned my love. If you had not, they could die next time... so do not feel bad. They deserve to be lectured." he stated brushing his lips against hers.

She nodded slightly in a bliss as the glow around her vanished and she moved closer to her husband-to-be wrapping her arms around him and kissing him soundly, "Thank you." she mumbled softly as his hand began to move up and down her back in a soothing manner.

"Always a pleasure my love." he smiled as he ran a trail of kisses down her jaw and along her exposed shoulder, pushing the spaghetti strap of her night gown aside.

Knock, Knock

"Your majesties. I'm sorry to disturb you but an invitation has just arrived from Venus for you." the servant opened the door and stepped in only to blush deeply, deposit the invitation on the vanity, and step out again rather quickly. It was not everyday you walked in on two royals in a heavy make-out session that was getting more intense by the second.... )

Oooo yeah! Who's back on the computer and way over her writer's block! I AM!!!! Yay, I am putting Saturn and Mars in the same chapter because in my story they are not-so-distantly related. I mean they look so much a like it's gotta be true. Anyways, please RR! I am not posting my next Chapter until I get a minimum of 15 reviews for this chapter. Oh and NO FLAMES please. Constructive criticism is good but don't be too harsh Be critical, but not harsh. When I finish the story, I'll go back and fix everything up but not yet.

That's it for now. Until next time.

CHERRY
