Luna slept on Usagi's giant fluffy bed as the girl walked around the room. She had a bad feeling in her gut about something, but she just could not figure out why. It was driving her insane and she couldn't sleep.

Sighing loudly, she plopped herself onto the big bed as she heard the generals conversing outside her doors, but those things were thick enough to only make it sound like they're just mumbling.

Usagi looked at Luna, who was still asleep. It made her want to see the girls and to keep the precious cat safe.

Feeling restless, she got up and walked out of the room to her balcony that no longer had snow on it. She looked up a bit to the dark black balcony she knew was Endymion's room since he's looked across from the balcony into her room through the windows on her door.

"Weirdo." She sighed once more, hitting her head on the railing. Usagi moved back into her room and went out into the hall, past Nephrite.

He looked over to Zoicite who nodded and moved to follow her.

"Hello, Zoi." She could tell from the silhouette that was in front of her and next to her own on the floor.

"Hello, Princess. Looking to go anywhere in specific that is not Tokyo, Japan? Or, not out of the castle in general?" He asked, knowing of her previous attempts to trick them into getting her home.

"No... Not this time... I just have a bad feeling and it won't go away." She sighed again as she stopped walking.

"This... this is all upsetting you, I know. I'm sorry there is not much we can do for you..." Zoicite got a little to close to comfort. He then grabbed her hand and placed her brooch into her hand as they heard Endymion yelling down the hall. "But we can do this just once for you to go save the people of Tokyo from an attack ordered by our King. Now run and teleport. That youma is more than the senshi can handle alone. Just be back as soon as possible." He warned.

Usagi smiled at him and gave him a quick hug before running off to her room to transform and grab Luna. She was on the balcony railing where she could see Endymion fuming on his balcony when she gestured a quick kiss motion before using her Sailor Teleport.

? Will I see you again...?

The scouts weren't sure as to why this youma was different to any other.

"It's not working to collect energy from people! It's just attacking eveything it can!" Mercury said as she scanned while dodging it's long arm.

Mars sent an attack, burning one of it's arms off. "We need more power than this, but we're going to run out of our own energy soon!"

It's other free arm swung to grab at Venus who was working working to fix up Jupiter, but a familiar tiara cut the arm from it's torso.

"How dare you attack innocent people and even dare to hurt my friends?! This is absolutely unacceptable!" Sailor Moon jumped in fron of Jupiter and Venus. "I am the pretty guardian who fights for love and for justice! I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

The youma noticeably froze for a few seconds before launching an attack straight for her.

Quickly, she and Venus scooped up Jupiter and dodged it's attack. "Help her as quickly as possible. I'll do my best to defeat it before it does anymore damage here!" Moon smiled at the girls as she ran back to the monster and summoned her Moon Stick.

"Stay still! I'll help you by purifying your evil-ness!" She pointed it at the youma, which froze again. "Um... alright...?"

It threw multiple copies of it's arms at her, causing her to scream and dodge them as quick as possible.

Endymion watched over, with his generals next to him. "I can't believe you let her out despite my orders." He glared at the four men.

They chose to not respond as they looked out over the scouts battling the youma.

Endymion had a mental control over the monster and made sure it didn't bring much harm to Sailor Moon herself. He wasn't sure why himself.

"Ugh.. I'm going down. You all will deal with the other scouts if they attack." He ordered angrily, jumping down from the building roof.

"Moon Healing... Escalation!" She sent her sparkly weaponized love towards the youma, some of it buring the front of it to ashes, but her attack was blasted back as the youma fully turned to ashes, revealing Endymion behind it.

"Princess..." Usagi's eyes widened at the man who stood before her.

"I know I should have expected this... But why does it still surprise me...?" She felt her heart rate go up as she went in front of the girls.

"Is he the reason why you haven't been around?" Mars asked, grabbing Moon's arm.

"Yes... and no..."

"WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!"

They all noticed that Endymion suddenly moved closer.

"You are to head back with me to the castle, Princess." He spoke sternly.

"I have a name you know..." She mumbled. Endymion grabbed her free arm and pulled her to him but not too rough, she noticed.

"I know, Serenity, but that would be too nice." Her face was too close to hsi for ger comfort. Mars pulled back on her arms, pulling Moon away from him.

"Back off of our Princess, jerk!" She was still a little weak from the battle. Endymion easily removed her grip from Moon and he pulled her too his side, unconsciously wrapping his other arm around her.

"You're already weak, Mars. There isn't much you can do in terms of protecting her." His generals appeared behind him, all of them looking down.

"Hey! Let go...!" Moon groaned as she used her free hand to hit his chest. He rolled his eyes as he reached and ripped her brooch off of her suit.

"I'm locking this up next time." He said calmly, causing Usagi to sigh loudly as she continued to beat his chest. He had the brooch disappear into a subspace pocket.

"Why did you take her just randomly in the night?" Jupiter asked, now standing but using Venus as support.

"I have my reasons." He stopped Usagi hitting his chest. "Besides, You all know I'm much stronger than any of you. I'm keeping her to get the Crystal. That's it. She could have been back sooner if she just handed it over."

"But she never would and that's what you didn't account for, Princey boy!" Venus growled. "Beryl can stuff it where the light don't shine!"

"She's already gone. Back to living a human life, based on my assumptions." He informed her, smirking.

"You filthy, no good son of a b--" Mercury covered her friend's mouth.

"Wise decision."

"Look, just leave them alone! I'm going back with you, Endymion! They don't need to get involved in your petty problems." Usagi said.

The man sighed but he glared at the girls first. "You are to leave this to me. No trying to contact her under any circumstances. i don't care how you do it if you do, just don't. I know who all of you are beneath those horrendous guises. I could send multiple youma to finish you all off." He turned, Usagi still under his hold.

Endymion gave a quick smirk before disappearing with the rest of the generals and Usagi.

"No!" Mars yelled before stomping her foot in anger. "When I get my hands on him..." The others mentally agreed wit her.

"Let's go, quickly. We'll help Jupiter at her place." Mercury said, moving to help support the girl.

.Yes. At our usual spot.

They appeared in Usagi's room at the castle. Endymion motioned for the generals to leave, who did so in a quick manner. Once they left, Endymion released Usagi for a split second before moving to force her to look him in the eyes.

"This time, I'll make sure to keep a better eye on you, Serenity." He practically growled in her face. "You clearly can't be trusted to have a room of your own. My room has doors to another of similar stature right across from it, which would typically be the other King's or Queen's room. I have no choice but to move you there and keep you under my own supervision."

"You say that like you think I care where you put me..." She mumbled, finding it hard to move her mouth since he had a tight grip on her face.

He frowned at this and pulled her by the wrist out the doors and into the hall. "Allow me to show you to your new room." He spoke through gritted teeth. Walking with her, he glared at the two generals ahead of him and they moved as he rushed past.

Usagi could tell his room was one of the big doors down the hall they turned in to. He stopped a door before his room and pushed the door open, revealing a bigger room than her's originally was.

"I guess it was made for Kings and Queens..." She mentally groaned in annoyance. Endymion then tossed her onto the bed from the doorway before walking into her room.

"Your stuff should have transfered here. I'll be putting you under strict house arrest." He leaned on a pillar of the bed frame.

Usagi just looked around before sitting up and holding her legs to her chest.

"Fine. I still don't care... At least I got to see my friends for a bit..." She avoided eye contact with him, clearly upset.

Endymion placed his hands on the bed and leaned over her, forcing her to look up at him. He was, again, too close for comfort.

"Get used to it. You're in my domain now, dear." He smirked, watching her expression change from anger to a mixture of fear and sadness.

He moved away and went to the doors that joined their rooms.

"Enjoy your time." Endymion pulled the doors open.

"W-Wait!" Usagi jumped off of the bed and ran over, nearly running into him. "Can I atleast... Can I ask something of you...?" Her confidence appeared to have been cracked a bit.

Annoyed, he turned back to her. "What is it? Your requests are limited to specific options."

"I figure that this one is not one of those options... but please..." She took his left hand. "Please do not send anymore youma! I know this is impossible to ask of you, but I don't like it knowing that I can't protect my friends and family!" She disn't want to have to practically beg him for this, but she wanted to try. "Endymion... I know you probably don't have feelings, but I just want you to promise this..."

He just eyed her suspiciously.

"I swear to never leave the castle again! Just--"

"Shut it, Princess. Go to bed. Your eyes are red and puffy. Sleep ought to do you good." He shut the doors in her face. Endymion could have sworn that he heard her bang her fist against it once.

Rubbing his forhead, he couldn't help but get a weird feeling in his gut after thinking about that display he just saw.

"Just block it out..." His thoughts calmed him.

"You can try, but you can't." That old voice again. Endymion wasn't sure what male voice was talking to him, but he always ignored it.

Moving to his door, he looked out of them to Jadeite, who happened to be walking by.

"Hey, Jadeite. Keep the youma under control from now on. Only release the weaker ones out." He ordered, and Jadeite nodded, walking down the hall.

"Slowly, but surely... She's going to break you down, Endymion..." Jadeite mumbled to himself, smiling a bit.
