Disclaimer: I own nothing except Fergal... he's my pal. And coincidentally I do not support the method of seduction to be used on anyone unless it is our spouse. If it is your spouse... have a ball! I do. If you aren't married though... don't try this stuff at home!

Author's Notes:

I'm alive! Ok I've been alive and I've been lazy. It's been almost... woah look at that... 3 years since I updated this story. Might as well just go back to the beginning and read it again cause you won't have any idea what the heck's going on. I only have the ending written for this story... after this chapter it's just a giant empty space until the wonderfully fabulous end I wrote last week! How people can do that I don't know... I'm good at beginnings and endings... others at middles. Who knows. Well... enjoy!

Oh quick sidenote:

1. I suck at grammar so don't get mad at me or send me whiney reviews about it. I tried my best.

2. Couldn't remember how to spell Nephrite... or Nephlite... so I made up my own spelling for it so please accept that for the duration of this story and if you happen to know the Original spelling of it... please feel free to inform me.

Thanks!

"All of this waiting," the voice sighed dramatically as she lowered her weapon, the duel with Jupiter ending. "It's become such a bore."
"Calm yourself Mercury. I think the real games will begin now that the Princess is here," Venus's bright blue eyes watched and nodded with approval at the end of Jupiter and Mercury's duel. She circled around them, her boots crunching on the soft grass below.

"Did you like him that much?" Jupiter baited with a raised eyebrow and Mercury blinked amused towards the goddess of lightning.

"Like is hardly the word. I found him intriguing and titillating," Mercury oozed the words out as she began to circle her prey once more, Jupiter aware of her movements.

"A challenge," Mars finished approaching them, her face a mask of stone. "I must say that he does anger me. I'd love nothing more than to see him on his back," Mars spat and Venus could only smirk at the three senshi. They had so much to learn.

"Her Royal Highness-" the four senshi paused in their activities to hear a herald announce the entrance of their Princess into their courtyard.

"Yes, yes, they know who I am," Serenity spat impatiently waving the overdressed man away as she made her way gracefully down the steps towards the grassy knoll below.

"Your Majesty," Venus said softly as the four Senshi bowed before her. "What has you ruffled dear Princess?"
"Ruffled," she huffed. "I would never dare give him the satisfaction. I'm here on an order I could not wait to give," Serenity's smooth voice ran over them and the four women stood in a line glancing at her. Mercury's eyes darted upwards and caught blue that were staring down at them from Endymion's general's sitting room. A smirk littered her features as she put her attention back to her Princess.

"Pray Princess, what order is that?" Jupiter asked quietly and Serenity lifted her skirts taking a step closer to them.

"Ultimate conquest. I think for too long you ladies have been on the sidelines," Serenity's voice was breathless as she walked before them.
"What has he done to upset you?" Venus asked gently and Serenity's bottom lip protruded dramatically.

"He actually knows how to play my game, and you know me," Serenity said gently as if in the voice of a child and Venus couldn't stop the smirk coming to her lips. Mars scowled glancing away as Mercury and Jupiter took on the challenge with grace.

"You do not like to play alone," Venus finished and the Princess nodded and turned going back into the ornate building. "Come Ladies, we have generals to crush," Venus whispered and followed after her monarch, the other three falling perfectly in line. Mercury paused at the end of the line and glanced at the weapon in her hand. She gripped the handle and with a smirk let it fall to the ground and the shimmering sword impaled the ground. It twinkled in the light and she walked away from it.

Zoicite watched below him as the five women filed out and suddenly something struck in his chest. His hand lifted and he touched the area. Cold. His eyes brightened as a smirk lifted his features. The sword taunted him as it stood in the ground proudly in a challenge before them.

"They are ready to play," he whispered and Jedeite raised an eyebrow at his companion and glanced down at the empty courtyard and shimmering sword. He glanced back towards Zoicite but the general was already on his way to the door.

"Well, some are eager for their conquest," Jedeite smirked and Nephrite rose quietly.

"Yes well, we have favors to repay of our competition Jedeite," he smirked and Jedeite let out a bored breath.

"Yes, you do," he mumbled.

Serenity walked calmly into her quarters and waited until the door shut securely behind her. She turned to glare at it than let out a growl of frustration, her fingers bunching her skirt in annoyance. She had to think of her next step. He had been better than expected… without a doubt the best she had taken to her bed. Her feet stilled at that thought as the memory pricked her mind and her stomach lurched. He had actually been a generous lover. While she enjoyed a good romp, it hadn't been something she ever truly needed, but more a tool. The way he did it was sparking a need in her though. She shook her head.

He had taken to the game well. So, well… she bit her bottom lip as she paced her study once more. She had to remain her objective and crush him to teach him the error of his ways yet how the hell would she do it?

"Make him fall in love with you."

Serenity slowly ceased her pacing as her eyes lifted. Immediately her mind went blank as the voice wrapped around her. Her ears picked up on his footsteps as he approached her from behind.

"He would have to have a heart first milord. I'm a lady, not a miracle worker," her voice dripped with sensuality as she slowly turned to face her prey. Endymion took in her appearance with appreciation. He had long sense studied that body. "I must say I am impressed Endymion," she whispered turning away from him, a smirk on her angelic features. He raised an amused eyebrow at her as his hands stuffed into his pockets. "I would have never imagined you would learn our arts so… quickly," she whispered casting a glance over her shoulder at him.

"Yes, invading the mind is quite a talent the Lunarians possess," he mumbled without much interest, his eyes bearing into her frame with an intensity that made her stomach turn over. She turned to face him, her feet bringing her closer to him, her dress falling across her body lovingly.

"Invading is such a sour word my Prince," she whispered and when she neared he stepped forward, his arms pulling her delicate form to him and their eyes locked as their bodies melded into each others intimately

"Yet it so describes you Princess," he hissed against her neck and Serenity smirked when she felt his tongue and teeth scrap across the sensitive flesh there.

"Couldn't even wait until night to try and woo me Prince?" She smirked and he grinned stepping away from her. He put some space between them and he took a step and hers immediately followed.

"A woman like you… wooing would be an insult," he hissed and Serenity's eyes lightened as she pressed her fingers against his shoulders. "I'd rather just practice your philosophy," he mused pulling her deeper into her quarters and one of her perfectly sculpted eyebrows rose.

"And what pray tell is that?" She asked and Endymion smirked and bent down scooping her off her feet. She let out a gasp as he took her into her chambers.

"Invade and Conquer," he breathed and Serenity let out a laugh as her chamber doors closed, locking them both inside to do just that.

Her patience was running thin. In fact, it was gone. Her heels clicked against the old wooden floor as she paced back and forth, anger culminating around her that if anyone dares to touch her flesh they would be zinged by the heat. Mercury had run off quickly to her conquest and Venus had kindly stepped in to go over Jupiter's plans with her. They had been so eager to participate… so eager to give themselves… she had to shake her head at that thought. She knew her sister warriors were in it for the conquest… not some silly love affair. She let out a growl.

"This is unacceptable!" She hissed and slammed her hand against a table. She wanted to kill Jedeite not bring him to her bed… there had to be another way. She turned on her heel, her raven locks flying as she left the room with purpose. The table shook on its legs as the burned imprint of a fist remained.

She shifted on her boots as she unrolled another map across the book littered table. She missed this library. It was so beautiful with its high arching walls and the large window to the courtyard, it caught the glisten of the moon majestically. It was smaller than the one in the palace but still it brought her great pleasure. Her azure eyes took in the map before her yet her mind was elsewhere plotting her conquest. She had left the bait for him… now all she needed to do was wait. She was one who did not mind letting her pray come to her and come she knew he would for the temptation was too great. She wounded his pride knocking him out and his chance at getting it back was close at hand. Or at least that would be his thinking.

Blue eyes spied her lithe form and could only smirk. He had studied these warriors. They were deep down much like their princess and having watched his prince for so long he knew exactly how to handle them. This one though, she was intriguing. The excitement inside of him over this project was more than he had felt in years. Finally, a challenge and one he would thoroughly enjoy. He stepped making his way towards her. He sort of hoped she wouldn't take his head off, which would make this job less enjoyable, especially since his mind was what probably piqued her curiosity. Now he hoped she wouldn't take his legs because she would probably preserve his mind. As he neared her, his stealth like grace had kept not a sound from emitting from his form so he was utterly surprised when she spun unexpectedly and faced him, her blue eyes blazing with amusement as her smile overtook him. The smile was what distracted him from the tiny frozen ice daggers that catapulted at his body from her hands. It threw his form backwards and pinned him successfully to the bookcase behind him. He grunted annoyed.

"Is that a Mercurean Greeting or am I just special?" He inquired as she stood before him. She leaned against the table she had been working on and smirked at him, his eyes open to the view she was giving him of her perfectly suited body with endless legs and charming blue eyes that seemed to see through him. Damn… that cold planet produced something amazing.

"I think a telekinetic is sort of special," she mused quietly and Zoicite quirked an eyebrow at her. He tried to move the daggers from his arms and legs with his mind and than his eyes widened and a smirk played on his lips. She had put a force field around him and blocked out his powers. That was sort of scary and exciting all at the same time.

"I hope that isn't the only thing you find interesting about me," he replied dryly and Mercury stood straight and walked slowly towards him, her shoes clicking with purpose on the floor.

"Who said I was interested General?" She asked as she neared. "Last I remember I've already beaten you which means you pose no challenge to me," her eyes were alight and Zoicite felt a pang hit his pride at her statement. Haughty, so unusual for a Mercurean.

"Brute force isn't exactly my foray though I must say I was impressed when you knocked me out. There is always a first for everything I say," he mused and she stepped before him and wrapped her fingers around an ice pick that had grazed his arm and had begun to leak a little blood. "Concerned for me already warrior?" He whispered raising an eyebrow at her and she returned the gesture than yanked the ice pick painfully from its resting place.

"You were bleeding on my favorite book," she hissed turning away from him, the ice picks melting and slowly beginning to fall to the ground.

"This is your favorite book?" He inquired looking for the title and she glanced over her shoulder.

"They all are," she mumbled and Zoicite turned and their eyes caught and something passed between them. An understanding. Mercury immediately realized why she had been paired with him. He was her equal and that was sort of thrilling. He pulled himself from the rest of the ice and walked with purpose towards her. He pushed her against the table and leaned her over it, their eyes locking and staring deeply into one another's.

"It isn't going to be this easy you know," Mercury hissed at him narrowing her eyes and Zoicite smirked down at her.

"If it would have been I wouldn't have wanted you," he replied easily and Mercury smirked up at him.

"Now, if only I wanted you," she breathed before lifting her knee to interact with the soft flesh between his legs. Zoicite let out a breath and stood to let her up and she grinned at him, impressed he showed no pain.

"Mercurians are such bad liars," he mumbled and Mercury's heels on her ankle boots clicked as she walked towards the doors.

"We know," she tossed over her shoulder and Zoicite grinned placing a hand on the table as she exited. When her frame was no longer visible he winced in pain at her attack than let out another breath and his pain soon turned to laughter. He was enchanted.

A smirk formed on her pink lips as she pressed herself against one of the marble hallway walls. Venus crossed her arms critically across her chest as she spied her warrior glance with a bit of excitement down the opposite hall. Jupiter's eyes were alight with mischief as she turned to her leader who raised an eyebrow at her.

"I feel like a child again," Jupiter mused and Venus couldn't help the smile that curled on her lips. She opened her mouth to respond when Jupiter raised her hand to silence her. Both women leaned against the walls and peeked around the corner. Venus's eyes widened and she shot a glance to Jupiter as one of Endymion's guards walked to his room. His eyes were glued to a book and Jupiter's tiers curled upwards at his lack of attention to his surroundings. "Wait for it," she whispered and Venus held her breath as Nephrite's fingers grasped onto the handle of his door than Venus's eyes widened as she saw electric currents jump from the metal into the general's body sending him back to land on the floor, his book sliding from his fingertips and a groan leaving his lips. Jupiter smirked and gently pushed her leader aside as she strode around the corner. Venus glued herself to the wall watching as Jupiter sauntered toward her prey; her brown curls bouncing as she quietly put her foot on his book and pushed it away. His brown eyes took in his assailant but was unable to move as the electric shocks continued to pulse through his body.

"Touché," he growled out and Jupiter smirked and Nephrite felt like he couldn't breath for a moment. Slowly she stepped over him, straddling him as her hands rested triumphantly on her hips.

"Are you all right?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and fake sentiment and Nephrite couldn't stop the smirk that traveled to his lips. Gently he touched a hand to his chest and attempted to sit up. She was on him in a second, her legs straightening as she leant over him almost in a straddle as she pushed her hand on his chest. "Do not move. You might further injure yourself," she cooed at him and the General's eyes met hers and something sparked between them. Venus shook her head with amusement than turned; she had seen enough of Jupiter's techniques.

"I think I'll take the risk," he mused sitting up bringing them within centimeters of each other. She nodded and with a quick movement stood.

"Suite yourself. I'll go get you some ice," she whispered over her shoulder as she sauntered away. Nephrite let out a cough as he watched her go. He heard another set of footsteps approach him and he groaned again at the pain in his chest from her shock.

"Do I want to know?" Kunzite's smooth voice washed over him and Nephrite groaned as he pushed himself to his feet. He shook his head smoothly.

"Just do not touch the doorknob," he said over his shoulder and Kunzite glanced at him than the doorknob to their quarters.

"Ah," he mused than smirked walking the opposite way.

She felt her Princess awake and in good spirits. Now would be a perfect time to advocate her help. Silently, apart from the click of her heels she made her way effortlessly into her Princess's chambers. She walked across the vast room to her quarter doors and opened them quietly.

"Serenity," she called when suddenly her heart jumped in her throat and she immediately bowed, averting her eyes to the floor. "My deepest apologies my Princess, I did not know you were otherwise occupied," Mars whispered, horror etching through her. She still had the Prince in her bed! She heard a soft chuckle around the room and Mars gulped as she heard Serenity's feet touch the floor as she wrapped a silk robe around herself.

"Oh, I wasn't. I'm completely finished. What may I do for you?" Serenity's smooth voice hit the air and Mars raised her head shakily. She cast a glance towards Endymion and she shrunk as his smoldering eyes took her in.

"Perhaps I should come back later my Princess," Mars whispered quietly and Serenity let a smirk grace her lips as she walked towards her chamber doors. Quickly she closed them and leaned against them, amusement in her eyes.

"I have a feeling Endymion could serve you in this. Just tell us how we can help," she replied easily and Mars pressed her lips together. She above all trusted her Princess but talking about one of the Prince's generals when he was in the room… she felt apprehension roll over her. She heard the rustling of sheets as Endymion sat up to eye the warrior curiously.

"This is about one of my General's isn't it?" He mused; his eyes twinkling and Mars cursed them both and their good moods.

"If you wish to count him as that Milord. I find his arrogant behavior disgusting and not at all a good representation of your planet," she spat suddenly and than gulped closing her mouth. That was inappropriate. She felt hands go to her shoulders and squeeze them.

"Well said Senshi Mars," Serenity whispered into her ear and Mars sighed, relaxing before her.

"I can assure you my dear that you aren't the first to think that nor will you be the last," Endymion agreed as he removed himself from the bed. Mars quickly looked away and let out a breath.

"I just need to know how to conquer him," she confessed and she felt arms wrap rightly around her with re-assurance.

"I do not think physical strength will aid you my friend," Serenity mused quietly as she gently brought her childhood friend before a long full-length mirror. "You must use your other assets to acquire him,"

"What other assets? I come from people of war. I do not know of any other way to catch him that I could employ," she confessed and the weakness that floated around the room at her confession hit her like a ton of bricks.

"I think otherwise," a voice whispered into her ear and Mars immediately jumped, her eyes glaring at the Prince as he appeared behind her dressed in just trousers. "Jedeite is a hard bastard who only cares for winning. You must use what your planet has given you," he mused pulling her back in front of the mirror to stare at her reflection. She felt his hand snake down her side and she gulped. "You must seduce him. Take a lesson from your Princess, the Queen of not giving in. If he feels that you do not want him or he is beneath you, he will burn for you," Endymion's hot breath against her skin was doing something to her and she gulped wishing more than anything she had asked Artemis for advice.

"I am afraid Prince Endymion is right my sweet friend. All Earthlings apparently enjoy having what they are not allowed to possess. If he thinks you are unattainable he will want you all the more," Serenity mused and Mars felt Endymion's touch leave her and she sighed relieved.

"I am offended you think so of my people Seren. I greatly think you would enjoy meeting them and fall in love with them easily like I have," he mused and Serenity smiled arching an eyebrow at him. "Of Jedeite though, you are correct," he mused as his ministrations fell to her and away from her warrior. She smirked letting his hand roam across her stomach and than hips. "But she must do more than just ignore him… she has to tempt him. Make him want what she will not give," he purred and Mars gulped watching the two as Endymion let out a breath against Serenity's neck and the Princess let out a breath.

"Touch him, then disregard him," Serenity mumbled pulling from the Prince's arms to circle him. She pressed herself against his back and wrapped her hands on his biceps as she raised an exposed leg to rub against his. She pulled away from him, her hand lingering across his shoulders and Endymion's frame followed for a moment than held his ground.

"Use your apparent real distaste for him. You have already been given all the right assets," Endymion mused walking up to her and turning her to the mirror once more as they stared at her perfectly developed body. "Use them," he mumbled and Rei nodded uneasily and than sucked in a deep breath. Her resolve was returning and Serenity felt a smirk broaden on her lips as she watched the transformation.

"Thank you for the lesson Prince. Do get off of me though," Mars breathed and Endymion smirked stepping back from her.

"Perfect," he said with a soft bow and Mars returned the gesture. She exchanged a look of thanks with her Princess than strode from the room, the doors closing once more behind her. Serenity's arms lifted to cross across her chest as she eyed the Prince amused.

"How many women have you had my Prince?" She breathed and Endymion smirked gently retrieving his shirt where they had carelessly discarded it a few hours before.

"I think if we are going to talk about such intimate things Princess you could at least call me by my name," he mused and Serenity peaked an eyebrow at him. "Besides I would hate for you to go and kill all of my previous conquests just because they have had the pleasure to have me," he said with a smirk and Serenity's eyes lit up with laughter.

"Endy, I would never dream of touching any of those poor scarred girls. I was just confirming how small amount it was," she mused walking across the room towards the double doors.

"If that helps you sleep better at night Princess, you can dream on those sweet thoughts," he mused walking towards her, now fully dressed. With a finger he pushed her robe's fabric off of her shoulder exposing her flesh, her long legs delicious before his eyes and he smirked. "Try not to break anything when you come to my room tonight Seren," he whispered before his lips fell on hers drinking from them deeply. She pulled away, amusement on her face.

"You go ahead and wait up for me," she responded opening the doors and motioning him out.

"I do not wait for Princesses but thanks for the warning," he said with a smile as he strode past her to her quarter doors and than quietly left. Serenity watched him go and let out a breath and turned back into her chambers. He at least was amusing to chat with but damn if it did not get annoying.

Short... but amusing! Hope you enjoyed! Let me know!

God Bless!
