Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. Only Chigau and Koibito are mine.

Yay for a new chapter! There's actually two being uploaded today (although the next one is a little bit short...) Anyway, enjoy!

"Helios?" Chigau called across the garden. I turned at the sound of my name and put on a smile for the woman I'd grown to dislike.

"Yes, Your Highness?" I asked.

"Would you be able to escort my nephew and the Princess around this afternoon?"

I bit my tongue and continued to smile. "Of course." I responded.

Outside of the gardens I met with Chibi-Usa and Koibito. Out of everyone who had arrived she seemed to be spending the most time with him. I bowed to the two of them and asked, "Where would you like me to show you?"

Koibito spoke in a clear voice. "The lake will do nicely. I've heard from the Princess here that it's beautiful." He smiled down at her and she blushed lightly.

I smiled and nodded, turning towards the garden path leading to the crystalline waters, the other two following me.

x~x

After a while I was able to pull Chibi-Usa off to the side for a quick chat.

"So?" I asked wonderingly.

"So what?" she looked at me.

I nodded over to Koibito and continued, "You've been spending a lot of time with him. Is he the one you're gonna pick?"

She blushed lightly and chuckled. "Maybe. He is rather sweet and very handsome."
I looked at him again. To me he just looked like his aunt, which I didn't care for all that much, but if she liked him then so did I.

Speaking of his aunt...

"What time are you meeting with your Father for lunch?" I should probably take them to the dining area soon.

Chibi-Usa looked at me curiously. "I'm not having lunch with Daddy today. He told me he had matters to discuss with some of the guests."

A flag went up. "Are you sure? He told me just last night that the two of you were having lunch today with Prince Koibito and his aunt."

She shrugged her shoulders and looked at me.

I bit my lip in worry. Had he maybe gotten the day wrong or had he purposefully lied to me about what Chigau was doing in his room last night?
I wasn't sure but I had to talk to him.

xXxXxXx

I finished escorting Chibi-Usa and the Prince around shortly before dinnertime. After a few quick questions with the kitchen staff I learned Endymion had requested his dinner be brought to his room, so that was where I headed.
I knocked lightly on the door since I didn't see any light from underneath it. Noises came from inside, so I figured he was taking a nap before dinner. I opened the door quietly and noticed a slight movement from the bed.

I headed over and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw who was moving.

There lay Endymion, shirtless and sleeping with Chigau tucked under one arm.

x~x

I ran. It was all I could do. I don't even know if I shut the bedroom door behind me or not. All I felt was pain. Pain that made my heart ache and all I wanted to do was die.

He woke with a start. Looking up at the ceiling he knew he was in his room. How had he gotten there? The last thing he remembered was sitting at lunch with Chigau waiting for the children...

Chigau!

He felt movement by his side that was unfamiliar.

Looking over in the dim light he saw dark hair and bolted upright.

Pain flooded his chest. What was happening to him? He didn't know, but he had to get out of there before Helios saw him like this.
