Chapter 10: Blue Eyes for Dark Lies

Diamond looked onto his beauty. The apparition of Neo-Queen Serenity was in front of him as he always had when he was within solitude, but now she was just in the other room. Sure her blue eyes were less full with that vivid, spunky life that she had; the same blue eyes that once went cold every time he walked in the same room as her…but he could handle the price of the loss of that for now he possessed her.

"Prince Diamond."

He turned to see Alexandrite bowing to him.

"Yes Alexandrite? Did Morganite finish off those scouts?"

"That is what I cam to talk to you about. It seems a fifth Sailor Scout intercepted the battle. She calls herself Sailor Pluto."

"She must be the Guardian of the Gates of Time that Wicked Lady told me about. That would mean it will be harder to travel to the future…however it seems that we need less reason too now. All the same, as long as they take bate, and if they do manage to make it all the way here after; there most definitely will be a surprise in store for them." He smiled as the image in front of him changed to the Sailor Scouts running through the streets of Tokyo.

"Which one of you is going in next?"

" Although Morganite is livid, I think it's best if she rests before she returns. I'm sure Melanite will agree that Peridot should intercept them next."

"Of course; they wont expect someone younger than them to over-power them…or at least that's what I gather she will do?"

"Yes, exactly." Alexandrite answered before bowing and leaving the room.

Diamond took another glance at the pesky scouts before getting rid of the apparition entirely.

"Diamond?"

He heard that voice. It was his Dark Princess.

"Princess." He turned to see the blue eyed girl come over to him. She looked better in black; it contrasted her hair and eyes much more than before. He was happy he was now not looking at Wicked Lady but his Serenity. As he had always thought; that pink hair did nothing for him, and she lacked the blue luminous eyes that her mother had. She was staring at him now, with that look. She had so many questions; so new to her new dark powers. He could still see a faint recognition of glint in her eyes that he questioned was not completely taken over yet. He also did not like how she had yet to have the dark moon emblem on her forehead…but that would change.

"What do you plan on the surprise for the sailor scouts?"

Her voice was still the same yet held an edge of self-confidence that made her out to be more conceited than before.

"You, of course. They will never expect that you will have joined us and Wicked Lady. You know that they don't see things the way we do." He smiled to her as his eyes crept up her body. That slit in Wicked Lady's dress was distracting, but the slit in Serena's dress was intoxicating if that was even possible. It seemed the Moon family had a knack for becoming a temptress easily on the dark side.

"It is true they never did see things the way I did." She took her chin and rested it on her hand, thinking, as if distracted by some past recollection. This was his chance.

"Of course they didn't. I bet none of the others noticed your powerful dominance, your leadership. Your outright beauty and power." He walked closer to her standing slightly behind her on her left side. He glanced down to the dark crystal ring on her finger and it began to glow.

"You're right, they didn't." She said now looking ahead deep in thought. "The scouts always questioned my leadership. Some at times thought they would be a better leader. Mars always yelled at me. Luna thought I was weaker than the other scouts."

"And what about Tuxedo Mask? Did he not give you the attention you deserved? " He asked this question with a curiosity about how she would answer. It unnerved him to think that she would still have feelings through all of this dark energy.

"Tuxedo Mask…" Serena looked for a minute in silence. "He liked Rini more than he did me. He spent more time with her…than me."

He noticed that that glint of innocence in her eyes disappeared. "Then help me get rid of your friends? They aren't even your friends! The Black Moon clan has everything you need. Wicked Lady can tend to you. You are clearly a born leader. A Queen, who needs her King."

And with that she looked up to him and smiled at him. Her smile looked a lot like the smile that Wicked Lady had on her face; a devious smile. He then took her and kissed her. Suddenly he felt a rush of dark energy while kissing her.

He looked down to see that during the kiss she had fainted in his arms, but her tiara seemed to have blasted off from her forehead, and instead a dark moon symbol was lying on the skin above her brows.
