AN: Soo after a wait, here's another installment!

Here's a question (It might not determine the ending at all I'm just asking because.):

Who would/should Mamoru end up with?

"Ok, I'm calling the cops, now." Raina said after the four strange men had explained their purpose. "Because what you said, sounds batshit crazy and I don't want my family apart of any of that!"

Jadeite looked to the others then to her, "Look, Mrs. Chiba, we know it sounds impossible. Even I still find it crazy sometimes, but it's the truth."

She ran her hand through her hair and shook her head, "No, there's no way it can be. You're trying to tell me that my husband is part of some crazy fairytale-!" She paced and turned to face them, gesturing in the air, "A prince,even! And that there was some great big bad that took over your minds, made him run to the moon-" She stopped and gave them the most disbelieving look of all, "The Moon, which has a kingdom on it? Are you kidding me? Astronomers would've known about that kind of thing! How the hell does someone keep an entire kingdom a secret?"

"We assumed it was magic." Zoisite said, finding the display somewhat amusing.

"Magic? Now, I really need to call the cops." She leaned to get the phone, "Magic, indeed!"

Kunzite sighed and nodded to Nephrite. At which point, Nephrite held his hand up and a swirling disk that looked like space appeared. "I'm afraid it's not a trick or a joke."

Raina stared at it for a while longer before she sat down, heavily on the chair. "I don't believe it.."

"We already been through this before."

Her shoulders sagged, "Why do you ..what do you want?"

"We only want to find him and to protect him- do our duty as we were meant to." Kunzite told her wearily. "And by extension, you as well as any children you have."

She leaned forward, rubbing her eyes as she blew out air. "We have a daughter." She muttered feeling ill. " And.. " She looked up at them, "Are you really here to protect them?"

The look on her face gave them pause and made Kunzite wonder if something had happened. Still, he pulled his sword out and knelt in front of her with the others following in suit.

"We pledge out very lives to protect the heirs of earth and all that are theirs."

After a while she nodded and brushes away the tears she felt brimming up, "Then you have to bring them back." She told them trying to hold onto her emotions, "They're gone-missing!"

"Missing?" Kunzite and the others looked between each other then at her again. "What do you mean missing?"

"Zirconia!" The Queen glared at the wizen old crone with contempt, "This is not the child I asked for! "

Zirconia groveled and bowed to her, "The other resisted the illusion too well-and had help. Still, my queen, with this one's capture it is possible to lure the one you want out."

Nehellenia's eyes flashed, "Go, I shall decide what to do about you later." She turned from Zironia, and walked down the pathway. Her frustrations at having the white moon brat slip through her fingers was profound. Still, Zirconia had a point. As long as she had this girl, they would have to meet her demands. "Or rather..."

The ruby lips shifted into a smile as she looked upon the child sleeping peacefully inside one of the mirrors.

"I have plans for you, sweet child."

Mamoru breathed out as his eyes opened slowly. A splitting headache began right behind them, causing him to lean back more.

Serenity smiled, offering him some water. "I know, it'll pass." She told him, lingering a bit longer, "When Luna finally did that so the rest of us could remember to operate things here, we weren't feeling all that well either."

Behind her, Mercury nodded to the others, and slowly they all drifted out leaving the two alone. Though Venus couldn't help but glance back worriedly, before closing the door quietly behind them.

"Do you think leaving them alone is ok?" Venus asked, "I mean.."

"I think they need to be." Mercury told her. "They must have some..private things they need to discuss."

Jupiter jogged up, "Guys, there's a problem."

Venus stepped to her, "What sort of problem?"

"First, leave someone here to look after the queen." Jupiter said, "We don't want to start a panic, but something has happened to the prince's daughter."

Venus swore under her breath before saying, "Artemis, Luna?"

"Yes?"

"Luna, you stay here. Artemis, I need you to quietly make sure our guests stay in their rooms while we take care of this."

Artemis nodded, "Send word when you have something."

"Hm, Mars, Mercury? We're going with Jupiter." She strolled passed down the hallway with purpose, "Lets nip this in the bud."

Inside the room, neither Serenity nor Mamoru knew anything of what was transpiring. After the drink of water she had handed him, he sat there and waited for the headache to dissolve. Though, he was suddenly aware of a strange longing that rose up in him, and found himself moving a bit away from the woman that was causing it. It wasn't that he was repelled by her, but... he was married. Not that it had anything to do with religious matters, he had promised himself to his wife.

If nothing else, Mamoru was honorable.

Besides, he reasoned to himself as he took another sip, it would seem Serenity probably had someone.

"I..." He began and saw her eyes- the way it lit up- as he spoke. He wasn't sure what that feeling he had was, but it made him unimaginably uncomfortable. "I..suppose we should..get to know each other?" He felt awkward saying that. "I mean.."

"Of course!" Serenity chuckled, "I think the others wouldn't mind too much- I mean after all, you are from our past but you don't know us."

He nodded slowly, "It..um. would help."

So, for the next thirty minutes, he sat there as she spoke about her own life after she was reincarnated. About how hard it had been the first time she became this heroine 'Sailor Moon' and that her guards were called 'Sailor Senshi' and how Luna and Artemis guided them through the most trying times. She even let it slipped on how badly her relationships with others outside of the group had begun to deteriorate.

"Which, I suppose, made moving here when I got old enough, easier." Serenity finished thoughtfully then looked up at the light, "I still visit my family- we all do that have family left. They don't know what we do, of course." She looked at her hands, playing with the dress, "I think it would've been too lonely for them to be here. They would've missed Earth more than we would." With a sigh, the queen shook her head, "Either way, I felt that if I did move here, perhaps I would have a chance to find you again."

"Me?"

She nodded, "Of course." Turning her head a little she had a soft smile, "I never stopped looking for you. It always felt as if there was a hole where you should've been."

Mamoru didn't know what to say to that. It was.. "Sure you met someone?" He asked quietly, "After all, Chibiusa-"

"She.." Serenity falters for a bit unsure of how to say this, "Chibiusa was my miracle child."

He looked towards her, "Miracle child? Was she a hard birth?"

"Well, that too." She chuckled, "However, I..I became pregnant with her after offering my prayers to the Moon Shrine..and to my Silver Crystal." She shrugged, "I ..I don't really know what entirely happened, however I remember vividly walking out of the shrine as if I had ran a marathon."

He raised a brow, something..something about this felt strange. "So she doesn't have a father?"

"Well...she does."

"Who?"

There was a long silence in that moment and before the Queen could speak, the door swung open wide and a grim-faced Luna with Chibiusa appeared.

"Your majesty," She began, "We have some urgent news."

"What is it?" Serenity rose, alarmed at her daughter's red face and tears, "Chibiusa, come here, darling. What has happened?" She knelt down and the five year old nearly thrown herself at her mother. "Shhh, it's alright..."

"It's about the princess's companion-"

Mamoru stood, "Nijiko? Where is she?" Now, noticing that she wasn't at this girl's side, a ball of cold fear gripped him. What happened? Where was she and-?

"The Bad queen!" Chibiusa interrupted, hiccuping, "The bad queen t-took Niko!" She sobbed, "I'm sorry Mommy, we were playing in your room and and..-!"

The Queen's eyes widened in fear, "No.." After a moment, she handed her daughter off to Luna. "Take her to her room and make sure no one else knows about this. " She ten turned to Mamoru, "I need you to-"

"If you think for one moment that I'm going to stay here while my daughter is in danger, you have another thing coming." His jaw set, "I thought this was a peaceful kingdom?"

Serenity gauged his stance and the look on his face before turning, "It is, but it doesn't mean we don't have our own troubles reaching from the past."

He followed her, "Then who is it?"

"A queen none of us thought would return.." She held her skirts up and made her way to her bedchambers. She pushed opened the door and looked to see where the mirror that her mother had used when she was a princess on the moon, but found it gone, "Queen Nehellenia."
