~Finally, after a long and terrible case of writer's block, I am back with this~!

~Song 7- Bala =/= Bala (BeForU)~

"What's wrong?" Kunzite asked worriedly.

"I have this awful feeling that...Sailor Moon has lost the fight with Queen Beryl and Metallia..."

"Are you sure?"

Zoisite nodded. "Positive. The sun was covered with dark spots and somehow I know that they lost...and Queen Serenity said..."

Kunzite frowned and shook his head. "I was afraid our time wouldn't last long. I suppose that it's our duty to go back to the Dark Kingdom to finish them off ourselves..."

Zoisite struggled not to cry. "But Kunzite-sama...I don't want to go back! I only want to be with you and live a normal life! I am sick and tired of fighting and that is all!"

Zoisite sniffled and snuggled back into Kunzite's arms.

"Zoisite...we don't have a choice. I'm sorry. We messed up in our past life, and we have to make things right this time around. Later, we will go. But for now, we should rest a bit more."

Kunzite gently kissed his lover and Zoisite felt a little better.

"Kunzite-sama...I really am grateful..."

"I know you are. Zoisite, there is something I must ask you..."

Kunzite smiled gently. "Would you like to get married?"

Zoisite's face lit up and he felt a lot better. "Absolutely!"

Kunzite kissed Zoisite again. "Whenever this whole ordeal is over, we will get married. You can have the most beautiful dress you want, and there will be flowers, and bubbles, and it will be...amazing."

Zoisite beamed. "I'm ready for anything."

And with that, they went back to sleep for one more hour.

"Zoisite, wake up! It's time to go!" Kunzite woke his lover urgently.

"Hmm...? Already?" Zoisite was still mostly asleep.

"Yes, already! Look out the window! The humans have already realized what's happening!"

Kunzite was right. It was pitch black, but somehow everything was alight. It hadn't taken long for the riots to start and the horror to begin. Even from the forets, the destruction was obvious.

"You're right! We should go..."

Kunzite and Zoisite left their mansion for the city, where the portal from Tokyo to the Dark Kingdom was. It was next to impossible for Kunzite to drive the car through the crowded streets to the small, rundown building. They eventually mananged to get there.

Thankfully, the door wasn't locked and the mobs haven't yet reached that building to set on fire. Kunzite took Zoisite's hand and together they leaped through the portal to the Dark Kingdom.

On the other side of the portal, everything looked even worse than on Earth. Dead and wounded youma were bleeding all over the place, and in four tall blocks of ice were four of the senshi. A fifth block was even bigger than the others. Kunzite squinted his eyes and saw Sailor Moon inside. Directly below her was the good Prince Endymion. Zoisite gasped. Queen Beryl had somehow infused herself with Metallia's presence and she was towering over everything.

"Zoisite, be careful! She's more powerful than ever!"

"I noticed..."

Queen Beryl had sensed the arrival of the two former Shitennou.

"So...there you are. The traitors that deserted the kingdom..." Her usually terrifying voice had magnified at least ten times.

"We're not traitors!" protested Zoisite.

"It's obvious you are. You left me and disobeyed my orders. And now, prepare to go to hell!" snarled Queen Beryl.

"I'm not going to let you hurt Zoisite!" said Kunzite bravely.

"And you're not going to lay a hand on my beloved Kunzite-sama!" Zoisite pretended that he was brave.

Queen Beryl began to attack. She sent a pink beam of energy straight at Kunzite and Zoisite. But they were ready. Zoisite shot his favorite cherry blossoms straight at Queen Beryl and Kunzite shot shards of ice. Unfortunately, they did absolutely nothing. Queen Beryl laughed. Kunzite tried in vain to put up an energy shield, but it was too late.

~What's going to happen now? Find out...hopefully tomorrow. There are a couple more songs to go, so this isn't the last chapter! ^_^
