Note: Sorry about the/pb/ everywhere, won't let me do the paragraph break I used to, the story looks like one long continues blur " so I put the /pb/ in, I played with it for a while and that was the first thing not to disappear once I uploaded. Again sorry, but it seems it's necessary. I'm not sure how long things have been like this, so I apologise for not noticing sooner.

"Serenity-sama…a bath has been drawn." A young girl said as Usagi started suddenly from her thoughts looking over at her as she followed the girl, for now, she would go along, she had to if she didn't want anyone to get hurt…especially…Trowa.
"Serenity-sama." Another girl said as they flanked her and began to remove her clothing, Usagi stepped away from then quickly before shaking her head
"I…I can undress myself." She stuttered blushing furiously, she hadn't been treated like this in Usagi's lifetime, sure when she was Serenity it was commonplace…but now…she was not used to it…didn't want it, she didn't want to be princess, she wanted to be normal…why…why did all these things happen because of her, these people had to suffer because of her
"Serenity-sama…we apologize." The two girl said stepping out as Usagi undressed herself and then stepped into the water immersing herself completely, she briefly contemplated breathing under the water and drowning herself But what would happen to Trowa.
"I wish…I was never born." Usagi whispered as tears took her again
/pb/
"Feeling better?" a voice asked as Usagi gasped turning to see Demando watching her as she had been putting her hair up, thankfully she was dressed
"What do you want this time?" Usagi asked, she had decided, no more crying, no one was coming for her, she had to save herself, regardless of how weak she might be…she was the only hope for her…and Trowa.
"What have I ever wanted Serenity, but your love?" Demando asked as Usagi felt a bitter laugh escape her
"Love? Demando…you will never gain love by kidnapping…by terrorizing…and by threatening." Usagi said turning to him and meeting his eyes "I will never love you."
Rage…how dare she, how DARE she "Say that again Serenity…I dare you." Demando hissed as Usagi met his eyes
"Serenity died a long time ago Demando…I am merely Usagi now…I'm sorry…but the woman you love is gone, and I will never be her…and I will never love you." Usagi stopped talking as his glare melted to a smirk
"Did you think…I wouldn't force it?" he whispered as Usagi took a step back her strong façade faltering at that voice, he had something planned…it couldn't be…Trowa… "Come in." he called as one of the young girls that had drawn her bath entered and knelt before him as he turned his eyes to Usagi.
"Tell me you love me." He ordered as Usagi's eyes widened as she slowly shook her head…she couldn't, she wouldn't
"Demando, Don't!" Usagi cried but too late as the dark crystal energy leapt from his fingers in waves and into the girl as soon screams ripped from her throat "Stop…please!" Usagi cried reaching him as she grabbed his arm trying to stop him and the power stopped torturing the girl as he looked at the girl on his arm trying to hold back her tears, she had promised herself no more crying
"Tell me you love me." He ordered again as her eyes met his own
"You want me to lie to you?" she whispered in anger as Demando smirked gripping her neck as he dragged her face close
"Tell me you love me." He commanded again as Usagi felt her defiance cave…there was nothing she could do to save this girl, but give in.
"I love you." Usagi breathed as Demando forced his lips against her own before pushing her away
"I'm going to take away those memories of other men from you Serenity, I'm going to make you mine and mine alone." He said before stepping out leaving Usagi to tend to the sobbing girl on her floor.
/pb/
"My lord…she is too dangerous to keep alive." The man said, trying to reason with the silver haired ruler as Demando waved him away
"She will also be a powerful ally when she is my queen. I'm going to steal her memories, and recreate them to fit my needs." Demando said looking at the dark crystal before him as he touched it gently before removing his hand, "But her will…first I must break it…she…she feels for someone, someone other then me…I must break that bond, and then, in her lonely misery, she will be mine." Demando whispered as his thoughts turned to the man he had locked down in his dungeon.
"Bring me Dorothy." He demanded as his servants scattered to find the woman for him, he was in a mood where you would not want to show any defiance of him.
/pb/
Demando studied the woman pacing the room his eyes holding love lust and anger, a strange combination, but they held them none the less, he loved the woman he was watching, with every fibre of his being, he also wanted her, in every way…but hated her, hated her with the same passion for not caving before him, any woman he asked was his without a second thought, but she had always resisted, the one woman he wanted, more then anything, didn't not want him, and he hated her for it, she wasn't allowed to hold feelings for another man, she had to love him, or he would destroy everything she cared about bit by tiny bit.
"You called for me." The woman said as Demando glanced to her before looking back at the woman he had been previously studying, and such a beautiful woman Serenity had turned into since he had seen her as a teen
"Tell me of this boy in the holding cell? I want to know everything…anything I can use to make her trust in him shatter." Demando said as Dorothy nodded a smirk touching her lips, that would be easy indeed.
/pb/
Quatre continued pacing his office as he waited for news, Heero had been furious at Duo for leaving her side, Wufei was scouring the park, Heero the net and Duo was trying to calm his daughter whom had done nothing but cry since Usagi had disappeared, nothing could console the child but the woman's presence.
"Did you find anything?" Quatre said quickly seeing Heero enter the office as the young man frowned, not that it was any different from his normal expression
"Dorothy." He said shortly as Quatre's eyes widened, Dorothy Catalonia, the woman had been unstable since the first war, but why did she want Usagi…then again considering her mysterious powers as Serenity, who wouldn't want her?
"Where? Why?" Quatre questioned causing the chocolate haired man to shrug, that he hadn't been able to find.
"Quatre, you have to help me!" Duo cried as he stormed in his child still crying "We have to get her back, she won't stop!" Duo near yelled, he was upset as the child about his friends disappearance but unfortunately he couldn't just cry like she was, he had to try help, but they had all palmed him off so far telling him to 'shut the brat up' instead of letting him help as he wanted.
"Duo…please, not now." Quatre said causing a glare to claim the violet eyes that usually only held humour
"Damnit stop telling me to leave! I'm a Gundam pilot just like the rest of you and I'm damn well going to help find my friend!" Duo snarled making Quatre take a step back, even Heero seemed surprised
"Is this a bad time?" a voice questioned as everyone turned to Wufei as he stood in the doorway holding a file in his hands, they all silenced, even the baby was silent for the first time, as Wufei entered and set the file on Quatre's desk.
"We have a problem."
/pb/
"But how…how can I use this against her?" Demando murmured as he watched the sleeping woman, finally tired out from pacing and trying not to sleep, she had near fallen into the bed to sleep. Leaving the crystal that had been showing him his love Demando swept past servants and down to the cell where they kept the boy Dorothy had brought…what had she called him? A Gundam pilot.
He knew of the planet's history, the war that had claimed the life of that most obnoxious prince of the earth. He had been thankful for it. But how could the knowledge that this young man he held, was a Gundam pilot, possibly break the tenshi he held captive?
"How can I use you? To break her soul into a million pieces?" Demando hissed in as a single emerald eye caught his own and delved into him, such an intense gaze on such a young man. "You love her too don't you…of course you do…she captures the heart of everyone around her, she always has." Demando murmured a smirk touching his lips "But I won't let you have her, no one will, Serenity is mine, and I will show all of you proof."
"Usagi…isn't Serenity." Trowa said after a moment making the silver haired man, he was assuming was some sort of leader, before him shake in suppressed rage
"She is Serenity, heart and soul, she always has been. Finally, she is free from that disgusting man…and now…now she feels for someone else…I don't care what I have to do, but Serenity will be mine, she will be Serenity again!" Demando hissed as he turned away, he would kill this prisoner then and there if he didn't back off for now, he needed to calm down, he was too riled up from talking to Serenity earlier, calm down, and then think clearly.
"When I return…we're going to talk." Demando purred in a voice so sickeningly sweet it made Trowa shudder, not that he visibly shuddered, but shudder he did.
/pb/
"Tell me you love me." Demando hissed making Usagi cry out again tears slipping past her defences, she couldn't hold back, not when he was doing this
"Please…stop hurting him…please…please." Usagi begged watching the pain riddled Trowa twisting on the ground his voice long since gone from screaming.
"Do you love me Serenity?!" Demando yelled Usagi trying desperately to stop him, lower his arm, stop the power from torturing the brown haired man, her friend.
"Please…don't hurt him anymore…I'll say it…so please."
"You'll do anything? Even renounce you're feelings for him?" Demando demanded as Usagi's eyes widened, feelings? For Trowa?
"I…I don't…I…I don't feel…anything…for him…" Usagi whispered her eyes falling to the barely conscious Trowa
"Renounce him, and pledge your heart to me."
"I…I…I love him…I love Trowa…"
/pb/
Usagi shot up in bed her mind playing over the nightmare she had just had her heart pounding, eyes wide and mind full of fear and remorse. "I'm sorry Mamoru…I…I love him…I really think I love him." Usagi whispered as she covered her face with her hands repressing her sobs with all her might, the dream had made everything clear…she loved Trowa…and now, he was in Demando's hands, as was she…if Demando ever found out…
"Dear Selene, never let him know…please forgive this fickle heart of mine, I'll do anything, just don't let Demando know about how I feel." Usagi begged the moon gently before she forced herself to calm and looked around the room with new determination, she had to get out of here, she had to get both of them out of here, before Demando could realise her feelings, and bring his rage down on Trowa.
/pb/
"I've found it…the end of your heart and soul…the beginning of my new queen." Demando whispered the events on the crystal playing before him, he had used the dark crystal to probe that young mans mind, and he had found there, the answers to all his problems, the way to break Serenity's heart and soul, so he could claim the pieces as his own, recreate them into his prefect bride and queen.
/pb/
"Who the hell is that?" Duo demanded looking at the photo, it was out of focus and from a distance but they could see well enough, it was a man they had never seen before, silvery hair and they could make out his violet eyes, similar to Duo's own.
"This is the one that took her, the one behind all the killings…I called in some favours…and this is where all ends lead…his name's Demando, that's all they know…and he is more then just powerful, he's like Usagi…Serenity…he's not human." Wufei said as Quatre finished reading the file his face pale as he handed it over
"How…How do we fight something like this?" he whispered Heero's eyes hardening as he read as well, there had to be a way.
"What does he want with Usagi?" Duo demanded
"At first…they thought he wanted to kill the woman he was looking for…Usagi…but now…it seems…he wants her as his wife." The Chinese pilot said making all their eyes widen, he wanted her like that?
"Who knows what her powers are like, as Serenity…if he…she wouldn't though…would she?" Quatre whispered as Duo bowed his head
"We have to find them guys…I've got a really bad feeling, we have to find them soon."
"I agree with Maxwell for once…I've got all sources looking for the location of this Demando's base, as soon as we have a location we move out, with all the force we have."
"Mission Accepted." Heero voices, his acceptance going for all of them, especially Duo and Quatre, they wanted Usagi back, and soon, they were worried beyond belief for their friend.
/pb/
"Good morning my love." A voice purred as Usagi turned suddenly her eyes melting to a glare as she looked at Demando
"Let me go free." She demanded as he frowned slightly before the smile he had previously worn returned
"I have a present for you my sweet…I have the one that killed your fiancé…that Prince of the Earth…I have them in my possession…what will you do?" Demando said as Usagi froze her eyes widening
"You…the Gundam pilot? That killed…you have…" Usagi whispered as Demando slid an arm about her waist drawing her close as he tilted her head with a finger studying her eyes possessive and aggressive.
"Would you like to meet the one that stole your happiness?" Demando breathed as Usagi stared back at him, all her defiance, all her will to run had gone, she wanted to see him, this man that had stolen her light, she wanted to let them know what they had done…she wanted…dear Selene forgive her she wanted them to feel pain too.
"P-Please." Usagi whispered, Demando didn't ask anything of her, she had been sure he would ask for compensation…instead he released her and stepped away motioning a hand as a man was dragged in, her eyes widening.
"No…it's not…it's a lie…it's not…" Usagi whispered one hand rising to her lips, she knew that man, she knew him so well it hurt, and one broken name escaped her lips before she couldn't think properly anymore "Trowa?"
