Monday morning came, beginning the new school week and while most of the students were dreading that their weekend had come and gone so quickly, Demande was more than thrilled in returning so that he could be by her side. He arrived at the school earlier than he was supposed to in order to catch her before classes would begin. Unfortunately for him, he was unaware of her bad habits of showing up barely on time or late every day.

As he approached the school, he noticed yet again a large crowd of students gathered around the entrance which had been there every day since he started. Normally he just passed right by it, but, curiosity got the better of him this time and he decided that he would see for himself what all students were trying to observe every morning. He made his way through the dense crowd trying to get to the front so he could get a better look at what all of them were trying to see but, they didn't make it easy for him. He then spotted one of his fellow colleagues in the crowd that he had started to become acquainted with.

"Miss Kurogane-san" he called out to her. She was the home economics teacher for the first years at the high school and it was her second year of teaching as she was still young, only being in her mid-20's.

"Ah Satoshi-san, good morning, did you have a good weekend?" she replied back to him.

"Yeah, I can't complain. I've been meaning to ask but, why are all the students crowded around here?" he asked.

"You mean you don't know? Oh I suppose you wouldn't since you just started here. A few weeks ago we had some students that transferred here and to everyone's surprise, it turned out to be the Three Lights, can you believe it?!" she announced with enthusiasm.

"The Three Lights? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with them." he said.

"Are you serious? They're the most popular music group right now! They sing the songs "Nagareboshi He" and "Todokanu Omoi," you've must have heard those on the radio at least." She said dumbfounded.

He just looked at her with a blank stare and shook his head.

"I can't believe it, they're all anyone talks about nowadays. Anyway, the students gather around the entrance before school starts, so that they can catch a glimpse of them since they limit themselves on who they interact with. They're all very excited about this!"

"I see, so I get why the students are out here but, why are you?" he gave a suspicious smile to her.

"Oh me? You see..um..with such a crowd, the students they need some…umm..supervision in order to prevent them from getting out of hand you see." She started to blush and get nervous. "Okay fine, I'm a huge fan of theirs as well and since none of them are taking my class, it's my only chance to get a peek at them too."

She started fidgeting her hands nervously, "But please don't tell any of the other faculty members about this, a lot of them are much older than me and would look down on me if they knew I was out here acting like a silly school girl again. You're even younger than me so I figured you of all people would understand these interests."

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me." He chuckled.

"Oh look! They're here now!" She pointed over the limousine that was pulling up.

The mostly female crowd started to get even more lively, pushing further on until security guards held them back before letting the celebrities out of the vehicle safely. The door opened and three figures exited one at a time calmly. He noticed they all seemed to be wearing different uniforms than the other male students which he thought drew even more attention towards them.

The first one leading the other two was tall, had a long, brown ponytail and seemed to have a gentler demeanor out of the three. The second boy had a very feminine look to him with his hair in the same style but his bangs grown out and had a similar color to Demande's natural hair color; he looked very disinterested about the people screaming for them. The last one once again had the same lower ponytail styled hair that was black and started waving to the crowd, actually acknowledging his fans. In Demande's opinion, he had a cocky aura about him and could see that he was loving the adoration he was receiving.

He didn't know what it was but from the moment he laid eyes on them, he could sense something from them that he couldn't explain. It was as if all the noises and people began to fade into the background and all he could see was just those three men. He thought he was the only one who felt this, until the last one of them seemed to look over directly at him, even lowering his sunglasses to get a better look at him with their eyes meeting momentarily. Something was off about them.

"It's exciting isn't it?" Miss Kurogane commented.

All the noises and people came back to his senses normally when she spoke and the three men started to get closer towards the entry way to the school now. He didn't know if he had imagined what just happened or not.

"So, who are the Three Lights?" Demande asked her.

"Oh I see you're intrigued too, huh? There is Taiki, Yaten and then the last one is Seiya, he's my personal favorite and is quite the heart throb among the ladies, but, of course they all are." She gleamed.

"Seems like an arrogant prick to me." He mumbled.

"What was that?" she asked, still not taking her eyes off of them.

"Oh nothing, I'm heading inside now, see you at lunch." He waved at her.

He entered the library getting everything set up for the day, making sure books were put up and organized but, he couldn't help have what he sensed back then linger in the back of his mind. Is there a possibility that those 3 boys are like him and not native to this planet? Nah, he brushed off the idea, and looked up at the clock counting down the hours to when he would see her again. She said that she would start coming in here after school so he was hoping that she would stay true to her word.

'That last one is Seiya, he's a heart throb among the ladies.' He thought of what Miss Kurogane said.

Sure, he was able to capture the affections of such simple females on this planet but, there couldn't be a way where someone as regal and refined as the queen could fall for such a person. Besides she also said that they don't even associate themselves with the other students at the school much so they probably haven't even ever crossed paths. He was sure he had nothing to worry about.

Later that Day:

Usagi's final class ended and she could not have been happier about it since Monday's were usually not her best days. However, as lethargic as she was, she was looking forward to continue reading her book that she had started. Since all her friends had club activities going on for them, including Rei at her school, they weren't able to hang out after school that much and she felt that she needed something to help take her mind off her current problems. She was ashamed to admit that she felt left out at times since she didn't have particular set of interests like her other friends had to keep her busy. They didn't offer any clubs where you could sing, dance, eat snacks and that offered trips to America and she had attempted at joining the Anime club but, she was tired of her friends poking fun of her lack of artistic ability so, she decided that just focusing on bringing up her grades would be the best thing for her right now. If she could improve herself to become a better student, it would show her maturity to Mamoru and maybe he wouldn't feel the need to ignore her like he had been.

She took out the book from her suitcase and put it on her desk before she was to head downstairs to the library.

"So you picked Romeo and Juliet?" Seiya was hovering over her shoulder.

He had startled her slightly, "Oh, yeah, sorry I forgot to let you know that."

"Couldn't you have picked something less…girly? Something with a little more action." he teased.

"Well excuse me, I wasn't aware that you were going to be picky since you were the one that left it up to me to choose the novel." She said with irritation.

He chuckled at her, "I'm just kidding, you're right, I did say you could pick what you wanted. I'll check out a copy as soon as I can. But, I would think you would want something that had more of a happier ending."

"Seiya! Don't spoil it for me for me, I've never read this before." She screeched at him.

He continued to chuckle, "Sorry, I assumed that you knew, I won't say another word about it, till you're finished." He smiled at her.

They walked out of the classroom together into the hallway while Yaten and Taiki leaned against the wall once again patiently waiting on him to be done socializing with his classmate so they could be on their way to rehearsal.

"Where are you heading to now?" Seiya asked her.

"The library. I was planning on going there to get my book read since I can't hang out with any of my friends afterschool." She replied.

"Would like me to walk you down there?" He offered.

"Oh um-" she looked over and happened to notice those same group of girls staring at her giving her an evil glare that even some of her former enemies never gave her. "Actually, that's okay I don't want to make you late for your rehearsals."

Yaten then intervened, "Yeah Seiya what are you thinking? You already have Akane-san pissed off at us because of your behavior last week, making her wait on us is just going to make even her madder." Taiki was still just standing there laughing to himself at Seiya's shocked expression.

"Oi, why don't you announce it to the whole school." He retorted.

He turned back to Usagi to see her giggling then gave her a warm smile. "I'm glad you're talking to me again, I miss that smile. I guess he's right, I'd better get going, I'll see you tomorrow Usagi." He then turned to his bandmates and started walking away.

"Hey how many times do I have to tell you not to call me-!" she caught herself realizing that for the first time, he called her by her actual name. Heat started to rise to her cheeks but, she didn't know why and didn't have time to think on it. She didn't want a confrontation with those girls as she could still feel their stares on her so she hurried downstairs.

As she approached the library, she stopped short when she heard her friends call to her, "Usagi-chan!"

"Hey everyone, you all rushed off out of class pretty quick." Usagi said.

"Sorry, we wanted to spy a little bit on the Three Lights' rehearsal before heading off to our activities and wanted to say bye to you before we did" Makoto said.

"You wouldn't happen to be heading into the library now, would you?" Ami asked.

"Yeah I was going to read some of my book there before heading home." Usagi replied.

"Can't you just read your book at your house? I really wish you wouldn't go in there without one of us, we still don't know anything about this man." Ami told her.

"Ami-chan weren't you the one that said that people look like other people all the time?" Usagi asked irritated.

She answered, "Yes, I guess I did, but-"

"We're all in the same building so if anything were to happen, it's not like I'd be completely helpless. As incompetent as you all make me out to be, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself." She turned and walked away from her friends.

"Usagi I didn't mean-" Ami reached out to her but she already left them.

The group turned to each other before Minako put her hand on Ami's shoulder, "It's okay Ami I don't think she meant it, but, we really should put more trust in her. She is our leader after all."

"Yeah, you're right." Ami said somberly.

Makoto checked her watch, "Hey, I think we can still make it to the music room."

"Oh yeah let's go." Minako grabbed Ami and made their way over there. "I wonder what Yaten's wearing."

"Minako you're terrible." Ami said laughing as they walked away.

When she stood in front of the door to the library, Usagi immediately regretted how she snapped at her friends. Ami did have a point that she could be too trusting at times and knew that she was only trying to protect her. She turned around to apologize, but saw that they had already walked away, out of sight.

She entered the library with a sulky expression on her face and sat down at one of the tables. Mr. Satoshi seemed to be stacking books up and placing them on a cart, not noticing that she had just walked in.

When he turned to her direction he was so surprised to see her that he accidentally knocked over the top half of the stack he just made.

'Dammit' he thought. He didn't want her to think of him as clumsy.

"Oh Miss Tsukino, I didn't know you were in here, good afternoon." He tried to pretend that little moment never happened.

"Good afternoon." She replied dryly.

"Is something the matter?" he noticed that she seemed to be upset about something.

Realizing that she was being too obvious with her emotions right now, she immediately snapped out of it pretending like everything was okay.

"No not at all, I'm just a little tired that's all." She forcefully smiled at him.

"Oh, alright, how are you liking the book so far?" he asked. He knew something was wrong with her but he didn't want to pry further into her business.

"I love it. I usually only read manga's but this story really draws me in." she replied.

He didn't know what a manga was but he just went along with it. "That's great, I'm glad you like it. I've never read it before either so I decided to check out my own copy so I could read it at the same time you are and I figured with this I could also help you if you have any questions."

"Wow, you didn't have to do that, that's so nice of you!" she said. She started to feel her mood lift.

"It's no trouble, it looked interesting enough. I'll leave you to continue reading it while I put some things away." He smiled at her.

She opened her book and took out the bookmark that held her place and as much as she was anxious to start reading it again, she couldn't help but watch him as he put books away. He was carrying an incredible weight of books with ease, even for being a male of his stature, but maybe they weren't as heavy as they looked she thought to herself, she turned her attention back to her novel. After getting through another chapter of it, his voice interrupted her.

"Do you mind if I sit here to fill out some paper work? My desk area is a mess right now." He asked her.

"Not at all." She motioned for him to sit across from her.

As he started to concentrate on it, she once again turned her attention away from her book and onto him, studying his face. She just couldn't get over how much he looked like him. The way his hair was styled, his face and even his voice was identical to Prince Demande's. But, there was subtle differences as well like the color of his hair, his eyes, some of his mannerisms and the fact that he was wearing clothing of this time.

"Am I distracting you?" he asked her.

She blushed realizing that he had caught her staring at him and hid her face behind her book, "Oh, no I-I'm sorry."

He grinned at her, "There's no need to be sorry, you must have had a question and didn't want to interrupt my work, am I right?"

"Well yes, I did have a question actually, but not about the book." She said.

"Go ahead." He turned his full attention towards her.

"I noticed your hair and eyes..are you from the area?" she asked him.

"Originally no, I actually grew up in Kyoto but, as for my appearance, me and my brother were both adopted at very young ages and the identities and whereabouts of our biological parents are unknown so we could very well have come from another part of the world." He had already came up with this alibi long ago.

"Oh, so you have a brother?" just like Prince Demande did.

"Yes, Shinjiro, he is attending University right now and once I save up enough money, I will be joining him. What about you, any siblings?" he asked.

"Yeah I have a little brother named Shingo, he'll be starting secondary school next year and he can be such a pain sometimes."

He chuckled, "Even though me and my brother are close in age, we have had our disagreements in the past, especially when we were children."

They then began to talk more about her life as he asked what her interests are and she talked about hanging out with her friends, going to the arcade, her favorite foods to eat, her family life. It was great, he never knew much about the Queen at all since she always kept her personal life a secret to the public. All he knew about her was that she lived a past life on the moon and was reincarnated into this time era, but to get this much detail about her was more than satisfying to him. He then, took notice of the ring she was wearing.

"That's a pretty ring, did your boyfriend give that to you?" he asked.

"Yes, actually." She replied. Even though he knew the answer to that already, he couldn't help but feel a slight sting from that answer.

"Does he attend this school?" he asked.

"No, he actually just transferred over to Harvard University in America and won't be back for a year. I'm not very happy about it but, I know that this is a great opportunity for him and for our future together." She said with a gloomy expression.

"Future together? You're pretty serious then."

She nodded, "Me and him both love each other very much and have been through so much together to get to this point. I know he thinks of me while he's over there and so I write to him every night."

"You said a whole year, huh?" he asked.

"Mhm, maybe even more if they offer him to stay longer." She said.

To be dropped into a time when the King wasn't even around, for an entire year, was not only incredible luck, but it had to be fate.

"What about you?" she asked.

"What about me?" he replied.

"Do you have a significant other? she asked.

"Well, I actually had a fiancée. But, we recently broke off our engagement and that is when I decided to move up here with my brother so that we could have a fresh start." He lied.

"That's too bad, why didn't it work out? Oh wait, I'm sorry I don't know you well enough for you to tell something like that, forget I asked." She said nervously.

"Not at all, me and her were just going in different directions with our lives and realized that we weren't the right people for each other. I know that the right woman is out there for me somewhere and…maybe closer than I know." He said looking directly into her eyes as if sending subliminal messages towards her, but she was too naïve to understand that he was actually talking about her. She just looked back into his eyes, mesmerized by the beautiful color they had as if two pieces of jade were put in place shining back at her.

'I can't believe that fool of a king would leave her here for anyone to just snatch her away. She'll be mine in no time and no one can get in my way now.' He thought.

Soon a voice broke their gaze.

"Oi, Odango, you're still here?" A male student walked into the library, a man Demande had become familiar with only that morning.

"Seiya I swear if you call me that one more time, you'll regret it I promise you!" Usagi scowled at him.

"Is this man bothering you, Miss Tsukino?" Demande asked, unaware with how people joke with each other.

"No…remember that deadbeat partner I told you about that couldn't work on this project with me, that's him." Usagi pointed at Seiya.

"Deadbeat? That's a little harsh. Why are you still here? The school closed 10 minutes ago." Seiya informed her.

Both her and Demande looked at the clock and realized how long they were talking for.

"Eh? I'm so sorry Mr. Satoshi, I didn't mean to keep you here that long." She apologized to him.

"It's my fault actually, I lost track of time." He began gathering up his paperwork.

Seiya just taking notice of him finally asked, "Who is this guy?"

Usagi replied, "You're so slow Seiya, he's our librarian."

"I thought Mrs. Tatsumi was our librarian?" he asked.

Demande interrupted, "She was, I just started here last week."

"Ah I see, I'm Seiya Kou." He held out his hand to shake.

"Tohru Satoshi." He returned the favor and took his hand.

Immediately, a slight shock of energy could be felt between them and their faces clearly expressed that. They quickly pulled their hands away from each other.

Seiya looked bewildered but then regained his composure, "I actually need a copy of Romeo and Juliet before I leave, if you don't mind."

Demande grabbed the copy that he had for himself, "Here you can take this, I'll put it down tomorrow that you checked it out, something tells me I won't forget this."

He handed him the book and they both just looked at each other for a moment as if they anticipated something else to happen.

Seiya then spoke, "Well I must say it's not every day that a school gets a male librarian."

"Seiya that's rude! I'm sorry, I don't think he meant it like that." Usagi turned to Demande.

"Oh don't worry I don't take offense to it at all, it's all I could find on short notice. It must be nice to make a living by prancing around on stage in your skin-tight clothing." He smirked at him.

Usagi couldn't help but burst out laughing but, then stopped when she started to feel the tension between the two.

"Well since the school's closed I guess we better be leaving then." She turned to Seiya, then to Demande, "I'll see you tomorrow, sorry again for keeping you here so late!" she waved back to him with a cheerful smile.

"It's not a problem at all, see you tomorrow Miss Tsukino-san." He watched her walk away with that conceited, jerk.

"Nice to meet you, thank you for taking care of Miss Odango-san for me, I'll make sure she gets home safely." Seiya said back to him as if gloating.

He couldn't believe it, never would he have thought he could hate anyone more than the King of Crystal Tokyo. On Nemesis, if anyone had spoken to him the way that he did, there would be no question that he would be executed on the spot. The way he acted so familiar with her, touching her, and the way he looked at her, he didn't like whatsoever. Did this man realize that he was teasing and messing with the future ruler of their entire planet? If this was his planet that is, there is something more to this man than meets the eye and he is going to find out what that is.

'And when I do…I'll dispose of him.' He thought. Wait, what was he saying? It must be from working on the black crystal the day before, he had worked on it longer than usual since it was his day off. Although, if it did come down to it and someone came in the way of him and her, he would have to resort to his powers whether Saphir approved or not.

Every day during the week, it was the same, she would come in after school, read a little of her book and they would end up talking about, well, everything until the library closed. As much progress as he was making in gaining her trust, he noticed that in every moment that she wasn't in class, she was with that damn Seiya. He would always pull her away in the hallways and he didn't know if it was on purpose or not, but, it would especially be when Demande was trying to make small talk with her. He guessed that Seiya was as suspicious of him as he was of Seiya.

Saturday eventually came once again ending the school week and the library was completely dead. He was anticipating on her coming in at least but, I guess since it was the weekend and even he couldn't draw her in for spending extra time at school. He decided to close the library down early since no more students would be coming in that day.

When he walked out of the school building, it was nice enough weather so, he felt like taking a stroll around the school grounds before he went home. The campus seemed to be lifeless, which was understandable since all the students must have hurried home by now, all except this one lady that walking towards his direction. She almost looked like a child but was dressed in a business-type, black suit with a matching hat to go with it. Her hair was white and styled in two, curled pigtails wearing sunglasses to conceal her eyes. Normally he wouldn't think much of it but, when they crossed paths, he could feel an intense, evil aura emitting from her. Were his powers off today or did he really feel what he just did? When she gained enough distance from him, he turned around and followed her to see where she was going. She entered a separate section of the school that was the music room where those Three Lights would be rehearsing at.

'Oh well, if she is a non-human, hopefully she blows them to bits for all I care.' He thought.

He was about to turn and head home until he saw Usagi from a distance beginning to walk into the building as well. He started to run towards it to dissuade her from going in any further, until a third person came into focus and walked into the building as well. She was wearing a school uniform that wasn't from Juuban and she had long, black hair. When she inside all he could do was stare at it like a deer in headlights, he didn't know why but he was hesitant to go in now.

That is until he started to hear screams of a woman followed by several loud bangs that sounded like explosions coming from inside. He immediately ran to it reaching the front entrance about to open the door before he heard:

"MARS STAR POWER! MAKE UP!"

Did he hear that right? A few moments later as his hand was still hovering above the handle he then heard another voice that he knew all too well call out:

"MOON ETERNAL! MAKE UP!"

Autor's Note: Thank you to everyone who has followed and favorited my story so far. This is the first story I've ever written so I'm surprised I've gotten any at all to tell you the truth. I'm new to fanfiction but have loved some the stuff that I've read on here so much that it inspired me to come up with something on my own. This story mainly follows the events of the anime but, will also include elements from the manga so I just wanted to establish that. Like I said, this is the first thing I've ever written so my grammar and writing isn't the best (I wish I could write as beautifully as some of you can) so if you see any mistakes that bother you enough, just message me and I'll try to correct them when I can. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
