so thanks for your reviews. Be sure to read the summary everytime I update. It changes with snippets of future steamy bits. On with the story. And please, criticism as long as constructive, is welcome. I am currently way past any of this so I should be updating weekly for awhile.

Chapter 2.

The King sighed. "I guess you're right," though his demeanor showed the contrary, "Well then, start the preparations for the five rooms she will need. Holy Gaia, you'd think she would travel light?"

Jadeite chuckled again, but stopped when Kunzite hit his rib. The two generals took off to set the preparations leaving behind the other two generals.

"What would you like Zoi and me to do majesty?" asked Nephrite.

"Equip yourselves with armor," the king stated not looking at them, "I need to blow off some steam."

The night went by too quickly for the King. The Moon Queen would be here in a matter of minutes! The King did not know what to do. He had never met the queen before, or any other royalty for that matter. All of the princesses were in the Silver Allegiance and were guardians of it as well. Endymion could admit that being royalty did not mean you had some innate knowledge of how to treat a real lady. All of the women in his palace are servants so he treated them as such. Gods, this woman was annoying him already.

The King sighed as he thought about his past. Yes the queen had awoken him, but she had forgotten to give him something. There were many gaps and lapses in his memory. He had all the knowledge of the previous millennium as well as memories from his current life on Earth before he reclaimed the throne. He did not know why there were gaps in his mind, but he knew he was not the only one. His generals as well had lapses in theirs. They remembered all too well when they were forced to defect to serve... The Queen allowed them to remember that, but not other things. Endymion had spent many nights awake and unable to sleep because of the damn gnawing in his mind that there was something he was supposed to remember. There was something important missing from his life. He was here on this Earth without that certain something, and he felt it in his bones that it was his. Not something, someone. He was forgetting someone. Maybe now would be his chance to ask the Queen what she had forgotten to give him.

Endymion grabbed the glass of amber liquid and took a drink. Tomorrow. She'll be here tomorrow. Whether he liked it or not, duty to the rest of the Solar System was calling for him. And the bringer of that duty would be here on the morrow. Let's hope I don't make an ass of myself.

Five men stood in a grand hall of the Crystal Palace. They were dressed in uniform with their appropriate isignias that designated them as important. Endymion wore no crown. He hated those frivolous things. It felt it made him appear...feminine. He would have none of that. Endymion was a warrior through and through. As such he wore special plating on his suits of armor that picked him out from the other four as superior. The symbol of Earth was etched into platinum plating. The fact that the rare metal of Earth was used was enough to designate him as important. Beneath the symbol of Earth were four shapes. Each shape represented the four precious minerals of Earth. The four minerals that now were the names of his current generals. The four generals stood proudly beside their King. They were in fact dubbed more than generals; Endymion had made them kings over their respective lands when he had reclaimed the throne. The four men had all hesitated at this, but Endymion would hear none of it. The Earth King was just happy that his friends had been reborn along with all the other souls on his planet. If anything else, Endymion would forever be grateful to the Moon Queen for not leaving him entirely alone to rule this planet.

A faint light appeared before the five men. The King waited expectantly as four women appeared before him in a somewhat rigid stance, and in some sort of uniform. They seemed protective of something or someone that was currently standing behind them. The glow receded and the women divided evenly into two lines facing inward. At the inside stood a small woman with long silver hair. She wore no crown on her head, only small pearl broaches that pinned her hair up. Her white gown made her look ethereal as it made her already pearly skin shine. The kKng looked on in wonder as he finally took in her face. She had a heart-shaped face with big blue eyes and a pink mouth. The King knew that he had seen this woman before. Upon seeing her face a stirring within him of familiarity sparked to life.

"My Lady. Welcome to Earth," the King found himself saying.

The Moon Queen walked forward in between her guardians. She took in the size of the king and his masculine features. There were certainly no men like this on the Moon. His skin was tan, due to the sun, and his eyes were a deep ocean blue. His armor that he wore made him look superior and intimidating. Probably the image he was going for. However, as the young Queen looked more into those deep eyes, she knew that there was a deep sense of morality within him. This was a just man. There was something awfully warm and familiar about him. Where had she seen him before?

"My Lord, I thank you," the Queen said in her soft voice bowing before the monarch of Earth.

The King took her hand in his and gave it a light kiss. "I hope that we accommodate you well, my Lady."

"I am sure that whatever you have supplied us with will be sufficient," she said taking her hand back with a light blush. " My Lord these are my fellow princesses, and the guardians of the Silver Allegiance," Serena said directing her arm to the two lines of women.

"Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and head of my warriors, Venus," the Queen said warmly.

"I welcome you as well, my Ladies," the King said bowing. "These are my subordinate kings Nephrite, Zoicite, Jadeite, and the general to my armies, Kunzite," the King stated proudly.

The young Queen curtsied as did the other princesses. They neared their queen and took over their protective stance. Serenity sighed.

"Please my friends remain at ease. I can tell that these men mean me no harm," the Queen said softly.

"We will always be on our guard, my Queen," Venus said obediently.

"I wouldn't expect less of you Mina, but please try to take it easy here. Imagine we are on vacation," the
Queen said warmly.

"Yes, my Queen," though Venus' defensive stance or severe face did not change.

"My Ladies this way if you please," Nephrite said politely.

"My friends go and get us installed. I wish to stay behind and speak with the King in private," the young
Queen said.

"But my quee-!"

"That is an order," Serena interrupted adamantly surprising her council and the King. The princesses nodded and followed the men to their rooms begrudgingly as they left behind their young Queen.

"Are they continuously vigilant of you?" inquired the King without thinking, "My apologies, my mouth reacted without my consent."

Instead of the angered reaction the King was expecting, the Queen was laughing. "Yes they are. They are sold on the fact that I will be killed at any given moment. Especially Venus and Uranus, though the latter is not here with us."

"I see, well they do have reason to worry. You are a very wanted woman," the King said with a dry mouth and scrutinizing stare, "in the galaxy I mean," he added with a cough.

Serenity again chuckled. "It seems that you do not entertain guests often, my Lord."

"It is painfully obvious is it not?"

"Just a bit."

"Well, may I at least have your name?" asked the King gently. He did not know why he was being so nice all of a sudden. Was he not just thinking how annoying this woman was just a few minutes ago?

Serenity did not know why, but she felt heat rush to her face. "Serenity. May I bid you for yours?"

"Endymion," said the King softly.

"May I ask why you brought your council with you?" Endymion asked leading them to the parlor room.

"I am here on…business with you, but they felt like they needed to come along," Serenity said with a slight pause in her voice.

"They don't trust me or my people do they?" Endymion asked though not angered.

"No they don't. But their concern does not go unwarranted."

"No, it does not. Our planets have not made contact since the Rebirth, and even before then our history is rather strained." Endymion commented.

"It shouldn't be that way though. For that I apologize. I should have…This should not be our first time meeting," Serenity said.

"Even though it is, it doesn't feel like it to me," Endymion said looking at her intensely. Serenity parted her lips slightly and looked away when his words reached her brain.

"Again I am being too forward. Forgive me."

"No…"Serenity said not meeting his eyes, "What you speak is the truth. I too feel as though I have met you somewhere else."

Endymion said nothing more and entered the parlor room. He waited until the small queen was sat to take his own seat. A servant walked in with wine and small snacks. As the servant poured the wine, his eyes failed to keep strictly on the beverage. The look of awe on his face did not go unnoticed by the King. At the grunt of the King, the servant poured his last beverage and left in a hurry. Endymion raised a brow at the servant's audacity. But how can you blame him? Endymion took the moment of silence to look over the petite Queen. She was beautiful to be sure. Her pretty face and slim physique was enough to draw and keep a man's attention. The way she dressed was not entirely how the women of nobility here on Earth dressed. Her gowns were much more revealing like the white one she was currently wearing. It was strapless; the golden hoops on the top hugged her bust a little too much, and the gown stuck to her curves until it reached past her hips.

Endymion shook his head as lustful thoughts began to emerge. Instead he let his mind think about what it was like to remake the solar system. How did this small woman have the power to do such a thing?

"Coin for your thoughts, my Lord?" came the Queen's light voice laced with humor. She had felt the heated gaze of the King, but oddly enough did not find it uncomfortable. I want him to keep looking at me that way…

Endymion chuckled. "I was just wondering, my Lady how you came to reconstruct the solar system. In other words, how did the Rebirth come about?"

Serenity smiled as she put her glass down and gave a thoughtful 'hmm.' "I have not told many my story, so to begin is a tad difficult."

"Please, if I am infringing-"

"No you are not. I think it fitting that I share the history of this solar system with you. As I have come to realize, most people do not have their full memories of their time on Earth. Sharing this with you will build some confidence between us…I hope," Serenity said softly.

"I would like nothing more," Endymion said enthralled.

"I guess I shall start with the ending of the previous Moon Kingdom during the Silver Millennium," Serenity said pensively, "You see the evil that destroyed our peace during that time was defeated, but at a heavy price. My mother witnessed the destruction of her kingdom and people. Not to mention my own death.

"To give our fallen people a chance to thrive once more, my mother, Queen Serenity the twelfth, used her last remaining strength, and sent the souls of her people to Earth to start anew. When I was able to learn about my heritage, my mother confessed to me that because she was so exhausted from having fought the evil and from saving our people, that she did not in fact kill the evil. She merely sealed it."

"So we are all reincarnations?"

"So to speak, yes. You see through many trials and over the span of many years, I was able to procure the Silver Crystal once more," Serenity said,

"What's this Silver Crystal you speak of?" Endymion inquired with furrowed brows.

Serenity closed her eyes and bent her elbow to raise her hand to her chest. Endymion stared in wonder as a small beam of light shined from nowhere and suddenly a small jewel materialized. From the small jewel a more ornate holder was forming. It was white with two loops and a growing staff. The white staff continued to grow until it reached its full height. The wand that the queen had in her hand was beautiful. The jewel that sparkled on top was the most radiant thing Endymion had ever seen.

"This is the Silver Crystal," stated Serenity, "It is what gives me the power to control this galaxy and rule it. It can only be handled by women born of my line. Hence why the Moon Kingdom is a matriarch."

"What can this crystal do?"

"Honestly…anything," Serenity said letting the crystal dematerialize, "I have the power to reconstruct the solar system…or destroy it."

"Incredible," breathed Endymion.

"Yes, but it has its limitations."

"Such as?"

"The Silver Crystal can be amplified through the use of planetary power. My council each rules their native planets, and as such carry that power with them. Through the channeling of that power, the Silver Crystal is amplified and its power increased to unimaginable limits. I myself have not reached its core use however, at the risk of my death," Serenity said taking another sip of her wine.

Endymion sat there completely riveted. "So how is it that this Silver Allegiance came to fruition?"

Serenity smiled as she understood that the Earthen King knew the motives behind her visit. With his question she knew that he was interested in her ultimate goal of universal peace…or at least she hoped he did. Endymion did not know where this question came from or where his sudden curiosity stemmed from, but he did not like it. Had he not just thought last night that he would never join the Silver Allegiance? So why was he even leading the Queen on?

"I remember that one evening when I was still a young girl here on Earth, I conjured the Silver Crystal and finally understood that it was time to reclaim my throne. My mother's sacrifice will not have been for naught; not if I can help it. So with this thought in mind, I merged with the Silver Crystal and awoke the royal spirit within my guardians," Serenity said with a smile, "And from there you know the rest."

Endymion understood her completely. When he himself had been re-awoken, he knew it was time to take over his own throne as well. Things had gone into chaos since his absence. He knew that he could not rule without the help of his mother and father, but he would try the best he could. The only help he had now was his four generals and his high priest Helios. Without Helios to manage the inner holiness of the Earth, Endymion knew he would not survive the rule of this planet.

"What memories do you still retain from your Earth days?" Endymion asked curiously.

"Not many. I remember most days with my guardians. We were so young then. There was really no cares or stress in those days. There is one thing that plagues my mind though. It's a sort of memory that haunts me," Serenity said trying to think hard about it.

"And what is that?"

"There is someone. Someone that I know I love with my entire heart, but for the life of me I don't remember where I met them or what relation they have to me. All I know is that without them my existence seems…incomplete," Serenity said sadly.

Endymion looked at her intensely. "How is it that I know exactly what you mean? I too dream of someone I lost. One that is promised to me, but that I cannot have yet."

"Odd," Serenity said not meeting his eyes. She glanced at the clock and noticed that she had spent over an hour speaking with this man. Her friends were about to hunt her down, she was sure of it. Serenity stood and extended her hand to the king saying, "Thank you for showing my council and me your hospitality my Lord, but I must reconvene with them."

"Yes, of course. I will instruct my generals to bring you to the dining hall when dinner is ready," Endymion said taking hold of her small hand. At their contact, they both felt a jolt run through their body. A sense of strong awareness took hold of them both. As if on instinct, Endymion brought Serenity's soft hand to his lips and gave it a kiss. Serenity let a silent gasp escape her lips as she felt Endymion make contact with her hand again.

"My Queen," came an irritated voice, "I came to find you."

Serenity pulled her hand out of the King's grasp and avoided his gaze. "Yes of course Venus, I was on my way. My Lord," Serenity said curtsying in dismissal.

"Until dinner," commented Endymion gently.

Serenity made her way out of the parlor room until she was gone. Mina looked at the King with discerning. "I will advise you to keep your infatuation at a minimum. The Queen cannot entertain male suitors as it is written in Lunarian law. Until dinner," the strong guardian said as she turned her back and left the King in the parlor room.

Endymion dismissed the utter rudeness of the blond woman and focused on her words. By law, the Moon Queen could not have male suitors? Did that mean she would never marry? A feeling of anger sparked in Endymion's mind at the thought. He did not know why, but the information just given to him was completely unacceptable. Then again, he thought. Perhaps this law was actually a blessing in disguise. The way to look at it was not that the Queen could never entertain males, no. More like, she was being saved...for him.

Ok with the way I am breaking up the chapters, I thought it would have gotten to the naughty bits already. I guess next chapter. BTW in the summary I give tiny snippets of future chapters. Usually the steamy parts. I know you all like that :D

Ok well enjoy.
