"What are we going to do about rings?" Hotaru asked.

Shingo looked at her with a gleam in his eye and then kissed her hard. "Go to the girls. I will see you later"

He transformed and then disappeared

"Shingo?" she called, annoyed that he hadn't explained. She wondered what that look had been about. He had something up his sleeve and she wanted to know what it was.

On the moon

As he arrived at the recently restored moon kingdom, Shingo noticed that the computer systems were online. He grinned. Ami, Zoisite, Mamoru and Setsuna would have a field day in here.

He opened his mind to the memories of his former self and followed them in his mind, navigating his way to the room that was once and would be his again if they ever needed to leave earth for a while.

Once he got to the room he went to the dresser and found the rings that he'd had Endymion make for them before the bonds were forged.

Shingo took one look at the room and it wasn't the way he remembered. There was a crib on the side of the bed that would have been Hotaru's side. "Did we have a baby?" he wondered. He kind of hoped they didn't because it would absolutely crush Hotaru.

He felt himself being pulled again and knew by opening his mind he was going to the hall of records. It was the place where he would find birth, death and marriage records. He was unsure whether he wanted to know the day he died, but it would give them a rough idea of any potential new enemies that would infiltrate before and during the reign of Crystal Tokyo.

When he got to the rooms and read some of the ancient texts he was surprised he could read all of them. He'd forgotten how much training he had received in his last life.

As he made his way down the shelves, he noted that there weren't just ancient scripts but records that had gone through to modern-day. Were Usagi's memories writing the books? He reached out and picked one of them up at random. He was shocked to find not just Usagi's memories, but his own, Mamoru's, Hotaru's, and the memories of all who were around them. These books were writing their story as it unfolded, through the eyes and minds of those living them. It was the most incredible thing he had ever seen, and he had to wonder why he hadn't remembered it before.

It was truly a wondrous sight to behold, but he had the feeling he had to leave this room to rest now it could not be disturbed much.

He picked up the scroll that was on the pedestal and smiled. No one was going to die in the upcoming battle. He released a breath he didn't realize he was holding

The staff materialized in his hand. He would still need to get Haruki's staff. He smiled, sliding the scroll into the slot in his staff, he turned, squared his shoulders, and left the small room and the treasures and horrors it kept safely locked away from mankind.

As he walked into the chamber of Archives in the next room, Shingo heard a sound as he walked around the dais where the throne sat. Surprised, he turned to look and was confronted with an image he had never thought to see again. His father, Pontus!

He knelt and observed the man carefully. "Father," he murmured, bowing his head.

"My dear son, you're only four years late," Pontus replied, with that all-knowing smirk. Shingo recognized it well. After all, he had given Usagi the same smirk a lot when they were younger.

"I wasn't ready father. Hotaru wasn't with me until a few months ago. The timelines changed drastically, and we still have no idea where it came from, and Setsuna-san as the guardian is clueless, which is making her angry."

Pontus nodded. "Your mother and I are looking into it as well."

"Serenity?" Shingo wondered as he felt a whoosh of air clip his ear.

"That is Mother or Queen to you, mister!" Pontus playfully replied.

"I miss you," he admitted, a touch of longing filtering through him.

Pontus nodded. "We miss you both too."

Shingo couldn't help the tears that fell down his cheek, he swiped at them furiously. He was eighteen for crying out loud. Why was he crying?

Pontus observed his son. "Tsukiyomi?"

"Hai?" Shingo replied.

"There is something we should probably discuss." He frowned. "As you already know, your name is taken from the Blue Moon, which is a rare occurrence. Your Crystal is linked to that event."

"Hai," Shingo said, nodding. This wasn't new information. Pontus gave a small cough, which startled Shingo considering he was only a projection. Could his father be… embarrassed?

"When a blue moon comes to pass you will be drawn into Rut. It is like what happens to certain animals who are called to breed in specific seasons."

Shingo only raised an eyebrow, not sure what his father was getting at.

"You will soon be drawn into Rut and your needs will drive your mate to become fertile. She will release an egg. This will lead to the primal mating again. Next time, however, the power of the moon won't be able to hold back. I suggest you take her off the earth when this happens. She would be strongest on Saturn, and you on the Moon, but any planet that is not Earth would be best to withstand your, ahem, mating."

Shingo laughed, his tears soon disappearing.

"Go, before she kills you, I'm always here if you need advice"

"Arigatou father," Shingo said.

Pontus disappeared leaving Haruki's sceptre.

Back home

Shingo teleported back home. The others were all just about to sit for dinner. He passed Haruki his sceptre. "That's yours," he said and dehenshined.

He walked around the table and gave his bride a kiss, then opened the ring box. Inside was the matching pair of wedding rings and an eternity and engagement ring. Hotaru gasped. They were beautiful.

"The three pieces fit together perfectly, but you can only wear the first two tonight." As Shingo placed the rings on her finger, Hotaru noticed a gap where the wedding ring would go. The rings were made of gold and held purple and blue gems together with the engagement ring intertwining the moon and her glaive.

He looked over at Rubeus who was hovering over Ronnie. "Must have fallen pregnant," he thought.

Shingo loved the others who fought with them, and wanted to forgive what had been done, but before he could fully relax he needed to speak to Rubeus.

"Rubeus," Shingo growled.

The red-haired man gulped as he looked up.

"Office, with me now," Shingo ordered. Hotaru put a hand on his arm "I need to put my mind at rest 'Taru I promise I won't hurt him," he said and then kissed her forehead.

Hotaru nodded and let him go.

The two walked down to the office in silence. Shingo locked the door even though it was pointless as the rest could use the teleportation spots.

"It wasn't me Shingo," Rubeus knew he had to say that.

"It doesn't matter that it wasn't you Rubeus you knew that Chibi-Usa's and Usa's relationship was strained at best. What if your kidnapping plan had worked and you managed to turn them against each other?"

Rubeus tried to speak.

"I'm not done! Usagi didn't even know she was Chibiusa's mother and then when that shit was over, you got yourself kidnapped again and this time you took my five-year-old daughter and aged her up. Almost forcing me and Hotaru to separate as we weren't soul bonded."

Shingo could feel himself shaking. He wasn't sure what he would do if his next question was answered in the wrong way. "Did you touch her?" Shingo asked.

"What?"

"Did you touch her inappropriately?" Shingo almost shouted the words, bile rising up his throat.

"No. She has your mind. She hid from me well. I couldn't even break the spell that she put on her chambers," Rubeus said, remembering one of the last things he said to her.

"She will be scared of you for a while I imagine," Shingo forced himself to calm down.

Rubeus nodded, seeing the pained look in Shingo's eyes. "She will come around. No matter how long it takes, I will be there when she is ready."

Shingo shook his head and stared at the other man, willing himself to forgive. It wasn't easy and he wondered how his sister did it so often. With a sigh, he measured the person standing before him. Rubeus wasn't the same man he had been when he was evil, and it wasn't his fault, but still, that was his baby girl, and his niece, that had been messed with.

"I'm trying to forgive you," he admitted. "It's not as easy as Usagi makes it look, but I'm trying."

"I would understand if you couldn't forgive me," Rubeus said. "My child has only just started and I would die to protect Ronnie or the babe. I just ask that you give me a chance to re-earn your trust."

Shingo shook his head. No. This needed to be done. Rubeus was part of the Soul-Link now. He couldn't be turned against them again. It wasn't his fault. He had to just keep telling himself that. "I forgive you," he murmured, "but help me protect my daughter," he added.

The two shook hands "She reminds me of the former queen." Rubeus eyes widened when Shingo looked up at him with a hard look in his eyes
