Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN NOTHING! The only thing I own is the story line, but the characters were used, which I totally don't own. I also don't own the story lines of X-Men 2, and some season of Alias… but there is a few characters made up… very original :)

"So are these people your only friends?"
"What? No… why?"
"Well every time you runaway and come back you always have company and so far their all from one family… I swear, are they your only friends?"
"ENDYMION!!! If that were the case, then what makes you, Andrew, and all my other so called 'friends'?"
"Awww, Sere, I'm stating the obvious… you have to admit, so far all your 'guests' have been from one Kou family" Endymion said teasingly to Serenity, "And I'd hope I was more then a friend, or a sex slave. So what do you think of me then?"
"Aww… your worried… that's cute…" Serenity said smiling… "I don't think of you as my friend or 'sex slave'… but my lover" she emphasized her point by taking Endymions lips in a sweet passionate mind-blowing kiss.
"Okay then… so when do you want to leave for the mansion?" Endymion asked.
"Well I guess I'll have to get up and check on my 'guests' and see if their up. And if so then after breakfast. Okay."
"Why do you have to get up, I'll get Andrew to check on them…" he said opening the connection to Andrew, 'Andrew, GET THE FUCK UP! Now check on the guests. If they're up tell them to get ready, as after breakfast we're leaving for the mansion, over and out' and with that Endymion cut the connection and looked back at Serenity smiling, "He'll be happy to do it."
Serenity laughed, "Okay then. In that case, I'll go freshen up" she said as pushed the quilt of her and swung her legs over the side of the bed. By the time she got to the bathroom door she turned back to Endymion who was watching her from the bed, "Are you coming?" she asked him as she stepped in the bathroom and out of Endymion's eye sight.

Andrew was sleeping peacefully, having quiet a nice, erotic dream before 'GET THE FUCK UP!' came running through his head making him shoot up in bed. Sweat starting to form. Then he heard Endymion's voice, 'guests tell ready, breakfast mansion out' and that's all he comprehended from the conversation. And before he could ask 'what the fuck', Endymion cut the connection and blocked his. So Andrew was left in his bed thinking 'what the fuck.'
"Now I wonder what that meant." He asked himself before hopping out of bed to his bathroom to freshen up. "I guess I'm gunna have to be the one to wake the guests up or something and there's no way I'm making them breakfast… hey, why do I have this job? I didn't understand Endymion, so that's enough of an excuse to say I'm not doing it!" he said out loud while hopping into his shower.

From Dawn to about 2 pm in the afternoon Taiki and Seiya slept, but that was all they had. They weren't used to sleeping during the day and wake during the night. So for the rest of the afternoon till now they were searching around the house. Investigating their surroundings, and finally were in the games room playing pool together till some other kind of life form awoke.
It was now about 6pm and finally they heard laughter coming from the hallway. It was obviously Serenity's laugh; they knew it everywhere. But the males, they only guessed it was Endymion's due to the fact she was closer to him then the other man that was there with them.
"Morning fellas" Serenity said smiling at them, "How'd we sleep?"
Serenity was wearing a light blue wrap with white flower prints, along with a nice pair of white sandals. Her hair was up in a messy bun with strands falling out here and there.
Both men looked at her, "Yeah, alright" they answered. They were both wearing black pants, but Seiya was wearing a red shirt, while Taiki wore a dark blue.
"Good. Well I'm starting breakfast, maybe scrambled eggs. So kitchen in 10. Okay" was all she said before she left the guys to continue their game.
When she walked into the kitchen. Everything was clean. She must thank whoever cleaned it last night. She then made her way to the fridge and got out the eggs, but she also noticed that Endymion had already gotten a blood sachet from the fridge and was somewhere in the house drinking it. Paying no mind, she placed the eggs on the counter, and went back for the butter. She then grabbed the fry pan from the bottom cupboard near the sink, placed it on the stove and turned a hot plate on. After cracking the eggs and beating them, she placed them in the pan to cook while she made the toast to go with them.
Just as she finished, as if on que, Taiki and Seiya walked in to the room. "Wow, you guys are good. Grab a plate and dig in… if of coarse you trust my cooking…" she laughed as she grabbed her plate and sat on the other side of the kitchen table instead of the dining table like Taiki and Seiya did.
It was silent while they ate. But just as Serenity was nearly finished Endymion came in, "So are we nearly finished breakfast?" he asked her as he walked to her, kissed her on the cheek and took the seat next to her. Endymion was wearing black pants, white button up shirt and black shoes. His hair was neatly combed.
She swallowed the food in her mouth and answered, "As a matter of fact. Yes. But where's Andrew?"
"What? He didn't—" but was cut off.
"Nope."
But just then Andrew walked through the kitchen door, "MORNING YA'LL…" he said out loud joyfully. He was wearing jeans and a yellow polo shirt.
Both Serenity and Endymion looked at each other then to Andrew with not too happy faces on. "Well morning to you too. But you better eat fast. We're leaving for the mansion soon" Serenity said.
"Yeah, no problemo's. And plus, me and Endymion came in my car… so I can leave when ever I like" he said smiling.
It was then when Endymion got up from his chair straight to Andrews ear, "Yea, about that. Well me and Serenity are taking your car, and your taking the Mercedes back with out guests" he said smiling.
Serenity sat there wondering what he said, but by the look on Andrews face, and Endymion's smirk, they weren't going to be talking for awhile.
"Come on man. That's my car" Andrew begged.
"Well that's what you get for not obeying me" Endymion retorted.
"What? You cut the connection before I could ask for a re-peat."
Endymion laughed, "re-peat, you're good. Now I've made my decision, so hurry up and get ready."
By which time the guys were finished talking, Serenity was having a fun time talking to Taiki and Seiya waiting for the other two to shut up and tell them what's going to happen next.
"Well I guess you guys are coming with me, so when you're ready we'll head off, aye" Andrew said walking over to the dining table.
Both Taiki and Seiya nodded and got up out of their chairs. They gabbed their stuff (weapons and clothing) and followed Andrew out the house to the Merc. Serenity and Endymion watched as Andrew and they others left.
"Well, we better be making a move too. I'll grab my stuff while you lock everything up" Serenity said as she left Endymion to lock up.
By the time Serenity got to the front door Endymion was outside waiting for her. She closed the door and they walked hand in hand to Andrews Dodge.

Surprisingly, Endymion drove pretty slowly to the mansion. By the time they got there, there wasn't a welcome parade or anything, just a few maids and the butler.
They parked the car and walked inside. Everything seemed normal. But then they heard commotion coming from a side room. So they took off to look what was happening. When Serenity and Endymion got to the room they saw that Taiki and Seiya were introduced to their sister and Yaten. A Family Reunion. It was really sweet, because Dawn was crying and hugging them all.
They stepped into the room. It was a side office with a book shelf, desk, chairs, fireplace the usual. Andrew looked at them then walked out.
"Sere, this is so good. We're all together again" Yaten said out loud as he noticed her presence.
"It is, isn't it" she said smiling back. She then grabbed Endymions hand and walked out of the room to let them all catch up.
Endymion and Serenity went outside to the gardens and took a seat at the little table Serenity requested they put right in the middle. It was surrounded by the roses. Her favourite part of the gardens.
They were seated for what seemed like forever. Endymion then shifted his sight from the sky to Serenity. She seemed like she was in deep thought. This made his curiosity arise.
"So what's on your mind my love?" he asked her.
It took her awhile to register what he had said, but did reply, "Nothing in particular…"
"Are you sure? You know you can talk to me? We are in this together?" he told her.
She looked at him, "While I was in his office, even though Taiki and Seiya where there, it was like he froze time, and he was just talking to me. He said that until I do what he wants, he'll do it for me. And that the hunt for Vampires is going to be double rate. And a game will be made of it. Which ever slayer gets the most in one night gets prizes. Endymion" she said turning her sad eyes to him, "this is my fault. And I need to do something fast. Really fast… but I need to find a quiet place first… but the only place I can think of is the mountains. I got what I needed from him. But I need a quiet place I can be… by myself… with out any distraction" she said diverting her eyes from Endymions.
He looked at her. They were silent again. "How long will you be gone for?" was all he said, emotionless. But she could tell he was distorted about her statement.
"I don't know… but I know, but the sooner I start the soon I can come back. But I will have to start the search soon, and how ever long that takes, I won't be able to help with this war much. Then after that I can do my thing… But you do realise that it might take a year?" she said as tears brimmed to her eyes.
Endymion grabbed her hands that were playing with the material of her dress and placed them in his, he then lifted her head to his by his finger, "I will wait for you… but just try to hurry… I'll be right here… waiting for you…" he said as he took her lips.
They held for a pretty long time before Serenity pulled away to start and cry. Endymion then wrapped his arms around her; pulling her to his chest so she could cry her heart out. He rested his chin on her head and thought of what was going to happen during this year she wanted. If he was ever going to be able to live with out her… but then he noticed they had company, 'What is it? If it can wait I'll talk later' he told them.
'Umm, right sir, it can wait' said the voice and ran away.
"Hey Sere, let's go inside. It's getting cold out here. We'll fix you a nice warm bath, and then we can talk more about this later, okay" he said looking down at Serenity.
She just nodded in his chest, so he picked her up bridal style and took her inside to their bedroom and ran her a bath.

"So what did he say?" asked a brown haired woman. She was wearing a black skirt suit with a white blouse and black heels.
"He said nothing because I didn't end up telling him" said a raven haired beauty who was wearing black pants, red satin blouse and black heels.
"What! Rei… he has to know immediately" screamed the brown headed woman to the other woman named Rei.
"Lita!" she screamed, then looked away lowering her voice, "and plus, he was busy…" she sounded sad.
"What do you mean?" asked Lita.
"He was with Serenity. He said that if it wasn't important, then come back later" she told Lita.
"This is important!" Lita explained.
"Yes, well it's just going to have to wait… because I was not going to disturb him and Serenity" Rei replied angrily.
"Look, just promise me you will tell him ASAP" Lita asked Rei which caused her to look at her friend.
"Okay, promise" she smiled.
"Okay, well I have to get back to Ken, so tell me how it goes, okay" she said before hugging her friend and leaving.
Rei then left her room back to her temple where she found a blue haired woman and a blonde waiting for her. The blue haired woman was wearing a white lab coat over black pants, while her assistant, the blonde wore the same attire.
"What's up Ami and Mina?" she asked plastering on a fake smile.
"Hey" both women said in unison.
"Greg told me, us. But we" Ami started pointing to herself and Mina, "wanter to know if it is true?" she asked.
"Arrgh, yes it's true… unfortunately" Rei replied back to the blue haired woman.
"Well do you know any detail?" Mina asked.
"No. But I sense it happening rapidly fast… and I also sensed something else, but I just can't figure it out" Rei said shifting her eye sight to the floor.
Both Ami and Mina looked at each other, "Are you okay? You know you can talk to us? We're all girls, and best friends?" Mina said to Rei.
"Yeah I know. But I guess I just don't know what my heart wants… no matter how many times I ask the fire, it's not what I want…" she said on the verge of crying.
Both Ami and Mina hugged Rei to comfort her, "There there, you'll find what you're looking for soon enough" Ami reassured.
Rei looked at her friends and wanted to cry again for having such good friends…
