I am terribly sorry that I have not posted the chapter as soon as I said I would. I've just been so busy with the school newspaper and with Field Hockey that I barley have time to do all my AP homework. I really do apologize for my tardiness. Anyways, there's only about 2 more chapters left in this story, I might extend it a tad more, or might just make the chapters longer and only add one more chapter. I don't know. I'll figure that out soon. So, this is closing to an end.

I want to thank everyone so much for the positive reviews that have been pouring in through here and the ones that had been personally sent to my e-mail box. I adore you guys!!

Thanks to:

Sesshyz Koishii: Well, I'm sorry that you think that, but I wasn't trying to strive to be far away as possible from the actual anime. I'm glad that you're still reading and giving me your opinions though.

Kaggie-Chan: (hehehe) I'm glad that you liked that part. I might have been a little hyper while I was writing that. I personally loved that part as well.

kalinda

Naiyuki: Gods, I loved your review. I know, I don't understand how Usagi can always be so happy and always bouncing with all the wars she has faced. Even though she's supposed to be this pure being, and is immune to be tainted by evil. I don't know, I'm just rambling. I should stop now. Thank you for your review...I'm dedicating this chapter to you.

Elementalmoon

Thank you to all those that have reviewed through an e-mail. I already replied back to you. You know who you are!! (hugs and kisses) There were about 20 people that sent me e-mails.....A record for me.....woohoo!!

I don't and never will own Sailor Moon. If I did, do you honestly think I would be writing fics on the net?? I don't think so...

-----------------------------------------

Dark. It was so dark that it could kill a child with fright, but it was surprisingly comforting. The blanket of darkness reminded her so much of the lover she so desired to see. She missed the warmth of his arms, the feeling of his kisses, his love...most of all.

She didn't know how long she had been in the place she was currently in....There were no windows, no clocks, nothing to let her know of the time that has passed. She didn't know if that was good or bad, but either way, it didn't help her solve the predicament she was in.

Her thoughts often wandered to her brother. Was he somewhere near her?? Would he be able to hear her if she yelled?? And if he was here......would he still be alive? Kami....that question petrified her to no end. Would they.....,whoever they were, be so cold as to kill a child in cold blood? No doubt.

She laid still on the ground, not even bothering to lift herself up from the position that she had woken up in. Her head was pounding, and she was more then pretty sure that they had whacked her upside the head before dumping her here. Main reasons she suspected it.....every time she slightly shifted her head her cheek could come in contact with something wet on the floor, and it didn't exactly taste like water. (A/N: Gross)...Great. Not only was she somewhere where she had no idea where she was...(A/N: That make sense?) but she was also going to bleed to death. Just great!!

She heard a creak off to her side, and a line of light shown into the dark cold room. Not bothering to lift her head to greet the stranger, she took in a breath in anticipation.

"Come on! Get up!!" he sneered.

Taking notice that she was not going to budge, he took the liberty to step closer to her and grab a handful of her golden dirty locks. He yanked her head up forcefully, causing her to shriek in pain.

"Wide-awake now, aren't we?" he mocked.

Usagi said nothing. She closed her eyes in pain, and inhaled sharply. How was it that they always managed to get her where it hurt the most. It felt like her scalp was going to peel off, if he didn't let go.

"He wants to meet you!" he stated, as if she knew who 'he' was. She didn't question him though. He pulled her up by her arms, creating bruises as he tugged. Much to his annoyance, her legs would support her body weight.

He smirked, an idea popping into his evil head. Before Usagi could try and move on her own, he dropped her on the floor like a bad of garbage and once again grabbed a handful of hair. Dragging her out of the room.

"AHHH!!" Usagi yelled out painfully. Her hand snaked up to her hair, trying her best to get loose, but to avail. All she earned was a dark deep chuckle for her tiresome efforts.

They passed a long corridor, and stopped in front of large dark blue door with a black upside down crescent moon. The man holding her knocked three times, and the door swung open. He took about 10 steps and kneeled, placing one of this hands over his chest.

"My Prince" he addressed loudly before rising up. "Here's the girl" his voice cold and void of an emotion. He gave Usagi a quick glance and threw her in front of a man sitting upon a green throne.

The man nodded in acknowledgement, smirking. His smirk quickly faded from his face when he noticed the trail of blood running down the man that had been dragging Usagi's arm.

"I told you no harm was to come to her Rubius!!!" he hollered. Rubius ran his bloodied hand through his red locks and shrugged.

"The little whore put up quite the fight, we had to cease her struggles"

"Do not address her by that!!!" The man's eyes glowed with anger. "You have served your purpose. Leave!" he ordered.

"As you wish"

-------

"Damn, Haven't you figured out her location yet Ami??" Makoto asked desperately.

Ami shook her head, then dropped it in shame. "I can't find her anywhere"

"Well, keep looking. We can't give up" Minako said, tightening her grip on the chair she was leaning on. Rei left to the temple, hoping that the sacred fire would be of some help.

Mamoru glanced at them before stepping off into the balcony. The same balcony that he and Usagi first declared their love for one another. A smile illuminated his face, but promptly disappeared.

"Where are you?" he whispered softly into the silent night.

-------

Selenity sat upon a large smooth stone, contemplating her daughter's life. When she was in rule, she had suffered so much! Endured what no other has, and what was worst of all is that she had no one to support her. No one to lend her a hand. She had to guide herself, hoping that her judgment was correct for her people.

And now, she finds herself witnessing her daughters trials that are by far much harder than anything she had to face. Even though she had the love and support that she, Selenity, would never have, it was utterly heartbreaking that not even that could save her daughter from her life threatening "adventures".

How was it that the people that deserved happiness the most, seemed to find it less?? Could there never be an end to what Usagi has to suffer.

Selenity almost snorted at the thought. "Of course not" she stated in her mind "Fate and Destiny always like to toy with my little hime"

An idea struck her, but then it simply faded away. After all, what were the chances that Fate and Destiny were going to help her out?

The chances were very slime.

She would gladly giver her somewhat-of-a-life to save her daughter in an instant.

Just then, a portal opened an a woman with long green hair, and piercing ruby eyes. "Majesty" she stated, saying it as if it was a name, not just a title.

"Yes Pluto?" she addresses her, not even bothering to lift her head and greet her with a fake smile.

"The time is almost near. Do you wish to see what's going on, or would you rather not find out?" Pluto whispered to her in an eerie manner. Her usually calm, mysterious voice was plagued and tainted by sorrow and desperation. Not a tone that escaped her lips often. The only other time anyone has ever heard that voice was when Usagi came face to face with Chaos and ended up in a battle to death (just like her other ones).

"I-" Selenity hesitated. She shut her eyes and took in a long breath. Did she really want to watch and witness the fate of her daughter be decided? She exhaled slowly and lifted her gaze, finally looking at Pluto in the eye. "I....I wish to see it" she croaked out.

Pluto gave one quick nod and waved her arm in front of her, making the mist swirl into a clear bubble. And in the bubble, two figures took shape, and sounds were heard. The yells of pain from a fallen angel.

"I apologize for the rudeness of my companion. Pay no heed to him" his icy voice chilled her right down to her bones. She took in his features, slightly analyzing him as he spoke.

He was dangerously attractive. More or less gorgeous, one might say. His lavender tinted hair waved along with him, mimicking his movement, his bangs fell down and covered what seemed to be an upside down crescent moon, the same one from the large doors. His flawless pale skin, seemed to glow with glee at the sight of her. His lips, the color of a soft pink combined with a light blue, making his lips look cold and frail. Oh, and those cold icy eyes. She had seen those eyes somewhere, but from where???

She followed the movement of his hands, which were occupied with the swirling of his clear glass filled with a red substance. Is that blood? she gulped. That would be gross. She threw him a disgusted look before dulling her eyes over, void of any emotion.

He stopped from his ramblings and looked directly into her eyes. "You know, it's rude when you ignore someone who's trying to carry a polite conversation with you" he stated.

Usagi gave a slight snort and huffed "It's rude when you try to talk to someone, and that person has no idea who you are" her voice carried no emotion.

He smirked in amusement "You're right. My apologies. I am Prince Diamond" he slightly bowed with his head.

Usagi glared at him, not even bothering to introduce herself. Besides, they would most likely know who she was....they kidnapped her after all. She could really care less to know his name, what she really wanted to know was why was she there?

"I assume your pondering as to the reason why you're here" he asked, as if reading her mind. She shivered slightly in disgust, taking in his lustful eyes.

"Let's kidnap you and see what is it you want to know" Usagi sneered.

"Ah, but there is another thing you wish to know" Usagi raised her eyebrow, questioning his statement. "The well being of your brother, perhaps" upon hearing Usagi gasp, he continued. "Wouldn't you rather know how your brother is, then why you're here?" he taunted.

Usagi's face scrunched up in anger. How dare he use her brother as an excuse to make her angry!!! She wanted nothing more then to slap that little smug look off his face, it took all her will power to keep her from doing so. "Where is Shingo?" she croaked out. Keeping her tongue in check.

"Is that his name?" he lifted his glass to his lips, savoring the wine once more.

"Where is he?" she asked calmly once more. Her ears were met with silence. "WHERE IS MY BROTHER!!!!!!" she yelled on the top of her lungs, no longer able to control her emotions.

Diamond looked up and snapped his fingers. "There is your dear brother"

Usagi nearly fainted at the sight. Her brother, supported by two men at the arms, was dragged into the room. His brown hair messy and stiff from dried blood. Close to his left eye was a large purple bump with an even larger gash running down to his jaw. His clothes had been practically ripped off his broken body.

"Sh-Shingo?" her voice came out in a whisper. Not able to make it any louder.

His shallow breathes, becoming even rarer. He lifted his head with much difficulty and looked at his sister's deathly white face and gave her a little smile. Before dropping it, he mouthed 'I love you'. Slowly, his head went down, as did his whole body.

"SHINGOOOOO!!!" she ran to his fallen body. Usagi lifted his head with her hand, bringing the other one to move his bangs out of his face. She shook his body. "Shingo, wake up!" she cried out. "Wake-up!" her body trembled with fear. "Please wake-up Shingo...please.........Onegai Shinanaide!!!" (please, don't die) her head dropped down and found a place besides his.

She tried her best, but it all came short. She held him there for half an hour. Waiting for him to open his eyes and yell "Surprise!"

All for nothing.

She held his body close to her, clutching to her younger brother. To her only family member left. All for nothing

He was dead.......
