Kunzite stared at the sailor in front of him, crushed
against the marble pillar. She was staring at him
defiantly, but under it all, there was something else.
At first he'd thought it terror, but then it began to
glow brighter in her eyes. It was pain, sorrow, and,
surprisingly, love.
At first he scoffed at the idea. He was Kunzite, the
first of Metallia's Generals, and therefore unable to
feel any weak human emotions. But then, he felt
something begin to soften inside him. He was then
blinded as something flashed into his brain...
<><><><><><><>& lt;>
Kunzite fought to keep from yawning. These balls
were so boring, at least to him. Jeadite and
Nephlite enjoyed them because it gave them a new
chance to meet girls. Zoisite usually agreed with him,
but as Kunzite looked over at him, he doubted Zoisite
found it one bit dull. He was dancing with the Martin
Princess, the temper of the Sailor Team.
He scanned the room and also found Jeadite practically
hanging onto Princess Mercury's every word, and he
saw Nephlite grinning goofily at the Jovian Princess.
Kunzite rolled his eyes.
Then she came into view.
She was blonde and could have passed as Princess Serenity,
if need be. She was the leader of the Sailor Team, the
Venusian Princess. She wore a sleeveless yellow dress that
flowed off her curves, instead of hugging them, and matching
gloves. Her hair, normally in a red bow, was curled and
pilled on top of her head.
And she was heading right for him.
When she was in front of him, she asked him timidly, "I don't
suppose you would want to dance would you General?"
Normally he would have rather died than dance with any
girl, but this one, she intrigued him. One moment she was
a confident leader, the next a shy, vulnerable girl. He
smiled at her, a rare smile, and replied, "I'd love to
Your Highness."
Her smile was as bright as the morning sun.
<><><><><><><><& gt;<>
They walked down the path in the Venusian Gardens behind
the Moon Palace, arm in arm. Any bystander would easily
seen that these two innocents were totally intralled with one
another. But no one else was there to make the observation.
Kunzite looked down and met her eyes. To him, they were the
perfect blue. Lowering his head slightly, he pecked her on the
nose. He stood back and grinned at the pout on her face. He
turned to one of the bushes and picked off a Venusian Rose,
which was a mixture of yellow and orange. Carefully, so not
to prick her with the thorns, he tucked it behind her ear. She
sighed and leaned against him. He simply held her.
**********
Abruptly, the images were gone and Kunzite was back,
preparing to slay Mina. 'SLAY MINA,' his heart screamed,
'WHAT THE H*LL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING
YOU IDIOT!?!?!?!?! THIS IS THE *LOVE* OF YOUR
*LIFE*, NOT A YOUMA TO KILL IN FENCING
PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!'
He dropped the sword like it was a deadly snake.
**********
Mina did not flinch when Kunzite brought up his sword to
her chest. Every Sailor was prepared to die if need be.
'But to be killed by your own soulmate, are we prepared
to do that?'
He was about to thrust the sword into her, when his eyes
clouded over. She stared at him in confusion. He was
evil now and had no remembrance of their love. He
should have killed her by now.
Then the clouds parted from his eyes and... he stared at
her. She looked back at him and saw something different.
His eyes, which had been a lifeless grey, almost white
had returned to their vibrant silver. His eyes left hers
and he glanced at the sword pointed at her and abruptly
dropped it as though it stung him.
"Kunzite," Mina breathed, hoping, praying.
He looked up at her and she saw tears in his eyes.
"What have I done," he whispered in anguish, dropping
to his knees in front of her.
That was all the prodding Mina needed. She moved to
him and placed a hand on his bent head, never saying a
word, since none were needed. Hesitantly, he wrapped
his arms around her waist and he wept into her stomach.
She just held him.

**********
Amy stared at him, expressionless. 'This is it,' she thought,
'this is the end. Farewell Serenity, Endymion, Queen Selenity.
I'm off to join the real Jeadite.'
That is what she truly believed. Amy couldn't believe that her
Jeadite could truly do this to her.
**********
Jeadite stared at her, smirking. She was second in command
of the Sailor Scouts and had hardly been a challenge to him.
He hoped that Venus had been a better challenge for Kunzite,
since he got in a bad mood if he wasn't challenged enough by
an opponent.
He continued to eye her, from her blue boots all the way up to
her neck, where he had placed his sword, preparing to cut her
throat. Then he moved up to her eyes and instantly became lost.
<><><><><><>
Je adite nearly fell asleep kneeling on the marble floor in the throne
room. 'Why are these introductions sooooooo boring? You'd
think they'd come up with a better way of meeting people. Why,
they could just hold out their hand and say, 'Hi, want to go find a
point in our meaningless existance?' Now that would be far more
entertaining.'
Resigning himself to the inevetable, he raised his eyes as the Queen
began to introducing everyone. First her sister, Princess Beryl, then
her daughter, Princess Serenity (who was staring at Endymion and
he back at her, as though they were the only people within a mile),
and then onto the four Guardians of the Princess. First came the
Venusian Princess, who had managed to spark something in
Kunzite's eyes, even if he was unaware of it, and the next-
The next one was an angel. There was no other way to describe
her.
The Queen introduced her as the Mercurian Princess, Amy. With
her short blue hair and matching blue eyes, she looked like a water
sprite. She didn't seem to be as confident as the other three Guardians,
but there was something about her that just drew him to her.
<><><><><><>
Jea dite's eyes moved over the thongs of people at the ball, trying
to find the blue-haired angel he'd seen in the throne room.
She shouldn't have been hard to spot, since there were
very few blue haired people on the Moon. Finally he
spotted her.
She was standing over by the balcony, getting ready to
jump out there and away from everyone. She was exquisite
looking in her simple sleevless blue dress and matching
gloves. He quickly moved toward her, ducking behind
couples and plants to avoid being seen.
By the time Jeadite reached her, she had already moved
out onto the balcony. He followed her.
She had her back to him, so he softly called out,
"Princess Mercury?"
Surprised, she whirled around and stared at him warily,
asking, "Yes General Jeadite? How may I help you?"
Gently, he smiled at her, replying, "You could tell me why
a beautiful woman such as yourself has ducked out here,
when she could have almost any man in there begging to
dance with her?"
Princess Mercury blushed bright red at his compliment and
she softly said, "Most won't dance with me because I am
some what of a geek around here. The 'Ice Princess,' or
'The Brainiac' are some of my other names."
Jeadite was shocked to the bone. How could anyone
not see the gentle beauty before him. She could definitely
be called the most beautiful woman in the Universe in his
opinion. He smiled at her reassuringly.
"Well, I think those people are idiots if they cannot see
the real you!"
Amused, she asked him, "And what do you see General?"
"I see a beautiful woman with a heart of gold and an
innocence that is just amazing. Oh and by the way,
please call me Jeadite. I'm not one for formality."
Flashing him a gorgeous smile, she held out her
hand and stated, "Then you must call me Amy.
After all, its only fair."
<><><><><><>
T hat was only the beginning. Overcoming her shyness
had taken time, but eventually, it was done. He never
had a chance, as she had gripped his heart the first time
he'd seen her, though neither of them had known it.
They were a destined couple, to always be together
in spirit and mind. They planned to wed when the
cursed war that had broken out on Earth was over.
The Prince and Princess were to be married as well,
so it made things a little easier for them to be together.
Until it all fell apart...
**********
Jeadite stared at her, unbelieving at what he'd just seen.
Could he really be a General of Earth and not the
Negaverse?
'OF COURSE YOU MORON,' shouted a voice in his
mind, 'WHAT ELSE DID YOU THINK YOU
WERE??? A DENTIST???????????!!!!!!!!!'
He dropped to his knees, swinging his sword away from
him. "Amy," he whispered, "I understand that you hate
me now after what I have done."
**********
Amy watched with confusion as Jeadite fell to his knees
before her. Then hope began to spring within her as he
flung the sword that had almost taken her life, away from
them. Then she heard him say, "Amy, I understand that
you hate me know after what I have done."
That was the final straw. With a choked sob, she fell to
the ground in front of him and pulled him into her arms.
He stiffened in surprise for a moment, but soon relaxed
and put his arms around her waist and just held her as
she held him.

*********
Mars did not flinch as Zoisite ran the edge of his blade up
and down the sides of her face. She was the Scout of War,
and thus prepared to die for her lieges. But her heart was
screaming.
**********
Zoisite stared at the woman in front of him. She'd been a
challange, and the fire in her eyes told him that she wouldn't
go down without a fight. She had raven hair down past her
waist, almong shaped violet eyes that burned with anger,
hatred, passion, and...love?
<><><><><>
Zois ite raised his eyes at his liege as he told them the news.
They were going to the Moon.
"I heard that the Princess is supposed to be a real shocker
to the eyes Endy," grinned Jeadite, nudging his friend slightly.
Endymion and Kunzite rolled their eyes at Jeadite. Before
it could start into a fullblown match of wills, Zoisite broke in,
"You know, I could bring up a picture of them if you want
and you could see for yourselves." Without waiting for an
answer, he used his powers to open up one of the many
books on the shelves.
With a *smack,* the book fell on the table and everyone
gathered around it. Zoisite pointed out the first one, a tall
brunette in a green and pink sailor suit.
"This," he spoke, "is the Scout of Protection, Sailor Jupiter,
or Princess Lita of Jupiter. She is the athlete of the group,
and loves to cook. The one next to her is the Scout of Wisdom,
Sailor Mercury, or Princess Amy of Mercury. She is quiet,
loves to study, and plays chess in her spare time. The one in
the middle is the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity of the
Moon. She has a bubbly personality and is hardly anywhere
without a smile. The next one is the Scout of Love,
Sailor Venus, or Princess Mina of Venus. She is an enigma
of sorts. As the princess of Venus, she is quite like Princess
Serenity, but as Sailor Venus, she's quite the opposite. She is
that of a battle-hardened warrior. And finally we come... to..."
Zoisite trailed off at the sight of the final Sailor. She was
exquisite in her sailor uniform of red and purple. Her
violet eyes could make a person believe that she'd been
forged by the fires of Mars, and her raven hair trailed
down her, creating a sort of vapor trail.
It was then that he glanced up and saw that the others
had stopped paying attention to him long ago. Nephlite
was gazing at Jupiter with those starry eyes of his, Jeadite
was looking at Mercury with a curious gaze, Endymion
was staring at Serenity in total wonder, and Kunzite was
staring emotionlessly at Venus. Still, there was a glimmer
of... could it be... hope? Yes, it was definitely hope in
his slate eyes.
In a hoarse voice, Zoisite suggested, "Why don't we return
to our rooms and begin packing for our journey. After all,
we're leavng in two days."
The others only nodded, lost in their own thoughts as they
left the library.
<><><><><>
Two days later, he saw her in person for the very first time
and she took his breath away yet again. Her violet eyes
were even more captivating in person.
That same night, there was a ball to welcome them to
the Moon Royal Court. The Lunarians sure knew
how to throw a party. But Zoisite didn't notice the
fine wine, or the delicious foods. The only thing in
his eyes that night was his lovely Martian Princess,
who had captured his heart.
<><><><><>
She'd captured his heart alright, but that was only the
beginning. As time past, she captured his mind and
soul as well. Her fire drew him in, as it had done to
many men. But he was the only one that didn't get
burned.
**********
Zoisite felt as though he were awakening from a great
slumber. The last thing he remembered was yelling at
Endymion to get back to the Moon to warn the Queen
of the threat of 'Queen' Beryl, her own sister. Then,
slowly, the rest came back, as though it were a
nightmare... a nightmare he was living.
He had been kidnapped by Beryl.
He had been tortured by Beryl.
He had fallen to Beryl.
He had assisted in countering the Moon's defenses.
He had been a part of the attempt to kill Queen Selenity,
Princess Serenity, and Prince Endymion.
He was about to kill his love, his soulmate.
Zoisite fell to the ground clutching his head, screaming
a name. A name that belonged to the dearest person
in the world to him.
"RAYE!!!!!"
**********
Something was happening. The sword, which had been
moving over her face constantly, had stopped, just below
her eye. He was staring off into space. Abruptly, she
tensed, waiting to spring at the appropriate moment.
But she still couldn't move, not without puncturing
her eye.
Then suddenly, for there had been no warning, he fell
to the ground and screamed a word. It took only a
moment to realize that it was her name.
It was enough.
She fell to her knees in front of him and pulled his
arms away from his head, which seemed to be
trying to crush it. But he kept his head bent.
Sighing, Raye put her fingers beneith his chin and
lifted his face to look at her. Slowly, almost
reverantly, his eyes lifted to meet hers.
Those green eyes were full of sorrow, pain,
and love. She smiled and moved in for a kiss.
**********
When he felt her lifting his head, Zoisite wondered,
'What is she doing??? I am not worthy to look her
in the eyes!' But she continued to lift his face, and
almost involuntarily, his eyes followed.
Her violet eyes had not lost their fire. But they had
cooled and there was no anger in them, only sadness
at what had happened, at what was happening all
around them. Also, there was one other thing:
unconditional, fiery love.
Was it her who started the kiss or was it him??

It was so hard to believe. Just a few weeks ago,
she knew what she wanted out of life. She wanted
to always be there to guard and protect the princess,
her best friend. She wanted to marry the love of her
life, the keeper of her soul. She wanted a dozen
children that looked just like him.
Now, it was obviously not meant to be. Here he
was, ready to shove a sword into her stomach.
If someone had told her that this would happened...
no, she still wouldn't have changed anything.
He still looked the same except for two things.
One, he wasn't wearing the uniform of Earth.
Instead, it was a sickly color that she didn't
even want to describe. The second thing...
the second thing was his eyes. She had once
said that she didn't have to look to the heavens
to see the stars. They were already in his eyes.
But now, they were gone, and all that was left
was an empty shell.
God, would she ever wake up from this nightmare?
**********
He stared at the lovely creature that was the Scout
of Protection, Sailor Jupiter. She was taller than
most, which made it easier to spot attacks from
crowds. Her eyes were a brillant green that
seemed to sparkle with stars. 'Where did that
come from,' he had wondered but shrugged it
off. He continued to make an inventory of her.
Her slim body was backed into a corner,
unable to get the sword that lay only a few feet
away. Her curly brown hair, which was normally
pulled up neatly in a pony tail, was soaked in
sweat and matted against her head. But,
as always, he was drawn back to her eyes.
They seemed to want to pull him in. They-
He didn't get a chance to finish as there was a
flash of lightening, and the last thing he heard
was the sound of roling thunder.
<><><><><>
"And the thunder rolled," sang Nephlite as he
came out of his room on the shuttle taking
them to the Moon, "And the lightening
strikes. Another-"
"Oh god," moaned Jeadite, "Someone
please shoot me and spare me of that
horrible sound! It sounds like someone
is in terrible, terrible pain!"
Ignoring the ribbing, Nephlite moved over
to the portal and looked out at the moon,
which was growing steadily bigger. "How
long til we get there?"
"In about 2 hours or so. You'd better get
dressed," answered Kunzite, who was
going over some reports.
"Anyone hungry," asked Zoisite as he
came in with a tray full of food.
"ME!!!!" Roared Jeadite and Nephlite.
Kunzite merely rolled his eyes and
excepted a plate from Zoisite.
<><><><><>
He saw her in the throne room.
She kept close to the Moon
Princess, since she was her
bodyguard during all functions.
Her piercing emerald eyes
seemed to sparkle with stars.
Nephlite had to meet her in the
ballroom that night. It wasn't hard.
She wore a strapless dress that
matched her eyes perfectly, along
with pale pink gloves. She was
staring out at the dancing prince
and princess, watching anyone
who dared go near them.
Smiling at her dashingly, he
asked her, "Princess Lita,
may I have this dance?"
She blushed. The hard,
battle trained warrior was
shy.
<><><><><>
To even this day, her reaction caused
him to chuckle. It had been so hard
to believe. But he was helpless before
her. She could cradle his heart in her
hands lovingly, or she could crush it,
whatever she wished. But with her
sweet nature, despite her battle
hardness training on the outside,
wouldn't allow her to do anything
cruel to anyone. She was the Mistress
of the Stars, while he was the Master.
They were to be married, just like
everyone else after the war.
But, they way things were going,
that didn't look like it was going
to happen.
**********
The onslaught of the memories caused
him to drop the sword. Then he looked
to her and saw that tears were streaming
down her face. She knew that he had
returned to her, just as he promised.
**********
When he'd dropped the sword, Lita
had hoped against hope that his memories
were returning. Then he looked into her
eyes and she knew. Bursting into fresh
tears, she threw herself into his arms.
The stars watched innocently from
above. Their Master and Mistress
had returned to each other.

challange, and the fire in her eyes told him that she wouldn't
go down without a fight. She had raven hair down past her
waist, almong shaped violet eyes that burned with anger,
hatred, passion, and...love?
<><><><><>
Zois ite raised his eyes at his liege as he told them the news.
They were going to the Moon.
"I heard that the Princess is supposed to be a real shocker
to the eyes Endy," grinned Jeadite, nudging his friend slightly.
Endymion and Kunzite rolled their eyes at Jeadite. Before
it could start into a fullblown match of wills, Zoisite broke in,
"You know, I could bring up a picture of them if you want
and you could see for yourselves." Without waiting for an
answer, he used his powers to open up one of the many
books on the shelves.
With a *smack,* the book fell on the table and everyone
gathered around it. Zoisite pointed out the first one, a tall
brunette in a green and pink sailor suit.
"This," he spoke, "is the Scout of Protection, Sailor Jupiter,
or Princess Lita of Jupiter. She is the athlete of the group,
and loves to cook. The one next to her is the Scout of Wisdom,
Sailor Mercury, or Princess Amy of Mercury. She is quiet,
loves to study, and plays chess in her spare time. The one in
the middle is the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity of the
Moon. She has a bubbly personality and is hardly anywhere
without a smile. The next one is the Scout of Love,
Sailor Venus, or Princess Mina of Venus. She is an enigma
of sorts. As the princess of Venus, she is quite like Princess
Serenity, but as Sailor Venus, she's quite the opposite. She is
that of a battle-hardened warrior. And finally we come... to..."
Zoisite trailed off at the sight of the final Sailor. She was
exquisite in her sailor uniform of red and purple. Her
violet eyes could make a person believe that she'd been
forged by the fires of Mars, and her raven hair trailed
down her, creating a sort of vapor trail.
It was then that he glanced up and saw that the others
had stopped paying attention to him long ago. Nephlite
was gazing at Jupiter with those starry eyes of his, Jeadite
was looking at Mercury with a curious gaze, Endymion
was staring at Serenity in total wonder, and Kunzite was
staring emotionlessly at Venus. Still, there was a glimmer
of... could it be... hope? Yes, it was definitely hope in
his slate eyes.
In a hoarse voice, Zoisite suggested, "Why don't we return
to our rooms and begin packing for our journey. After all,
we're leavng in two days."
The others only nodded, lost in their own thoughts as they
left the library.
<><><><><>
Two days later, he saw her in person for the very first time
and she took his breath away yet again. Her violet eyes
were even more captivating in person.
That same night, there was a ball to welcome them to
the Moon Royal Court. The Lunarians sure knew
how to throw a party. But Zoisite didn't notice the
fine wine, or the delicious foods. The only thing in
his eyes that night was his lovely Martian Princess,
who had captured his heart.
<><><><><>
She'd captured his heart alright, but that was only the
beginning. As time past, she captured his mind and
soul as well. Her fire drew him in, as it had done to
many men. But he was the only one that didn't get
burned.
**********
Zoisite felt as though he were awakening from a great
slumber. The last thing he remembered was yelling at
Endymion to get back to the Moon to warn the Queen
of the threat of 'Queen' Beryl, her own sister. Then,
slowly, the rest came back, as though it were a
nightmare... a nightmare he was living.
He had been kidnapped by Beryl.
He had been tortured by Beryl.
He had fallen to Beryl.
He had assisted in countering the Moon's defenses.
He had been a part of the attempt to kill Queen Selenity,
Princess Serenity, and Prince Endymion.
He was about to kill his love, his soulmate.
Zoisite fell to the ground clutching his head, screaming
a name. A name that belonged to the dearest person
in the world to him.
"RAYE!!!!!"
**********
Something was happening. The sword, which had been
moving over her face constantly, had stopped, just below
her eye. He was staring off into space. Abruptly, she
tensed, waiting to spring at the appropriate moment.
But she still couldn't move, not without puncturing
her eye.
Then suddenly, for there had been no warning, he fell
to the ground and screamed a word. It took only a
moment to realize that it was her name.
It was enough.
She fell to her knees in front of him and pulled his
arms away from his head, which seemed to be
trying to crush it. But he kept his head bent.
Sighing, Raye put her fingers beneith his chin and
lifted his face to look at her. Slowly, almost
reverantly, his eyes lifted to meet hers.
Those green eyes were full of sorrow, pain,
and love. She smiled and moved in for a kiss.
**********
When he felt her lifting his head, Zoisite wondered,
'What is she doing??? I am not worthy to look her
in the eyes!' But she continued to lift his face, and
almost involuntarily, his eyes followed.
Her violet eyes had not lost their fire. But they had
cooled and there was no anger in them, only sadness
at what had happened, at what was happening all
around them. Also, there was one other thing:
unconditional, fiery love.
Was it her who started the kiss or was it him??

It was so hard to believe. Just a few weeks ago,
she knew what she wanted out of life. She wanted
to always be there to guard and protect the princess,
her best friend. She wanted to marry the love of her
life, the keeper of her soul. She wanted a dozen
children that looked just like him.
Now, it was obviously not meant to be. Here he
was, ready to shove a sword into her stomach.
If someone had told her that this would happened...
no, she still wouldn't have changed anything.
He still looked the same except for two things.
One, he wasn't wearing the uniform of Earth.
Instead, it was a sickly color that she didn't
even want to describe. The second thing...
the second thing was his eyes. She had once
said that she didn't have to look to the heavens
to see the stars. They were already in his eyes.
But now, they were gone, and all that was left
was an empty shell.
God, would she ever wake up from this nightmare?
**********
He stared at the lovely creature that was the Scout
of Protection, Sailor Jupiter. She was taller than
most, which made it easier to spot attacks from
crowds. Her eyes were a brillant green that
seemed to sparkle with stars. 'Where did that
come from,' he had wondered but shrugged it
off. He continued to make an inventory of her.
Her slim body was backed into a corner,
unable to get the sword that lay only a few feet
away. Her curly brown hair, which was normally
pulled up neatly in a pony tail, was soaked in
sweat and matted against her head. But,
as always, he was drawn back to her eyes.
They seemed to want to pull him in. They-
He didn't get a chance to finish as there was a
flash of lightening, and the last thing he heard
was the sound of roling thunder.
<><><><><>
"And the thunder rolled," sang Nephlite as he
came out of his room on the shuttle taking
them to the Moon, "And the lightening
strikes. Another-"
"Oh god," moaned Jeadite, "Someone
please shoot me and spare me of that
horrible sound! It sounds like someone
is in terrible, terrible pain!"
Ignoring the ribbing, Nephlite moved over
to the portal and looked out at the moon,
which was growing steadily bigger. "How
long til we get there?"
"In about 2 hours or so. You'd better get
dressed," answered Kunzite, who was
going over some reports.
"Anyone hungry," asked Zoisite as he
came in with a tray full of food.
"ME!!!!" Roared Jeadite and Nephlite.
Kunzite merely rolled his eyes and
excepted a plate from Zoisite.
<><><><><>
He saw her in the throne room.
She kept close to the Moon
Princess, since she was her
bodyguard during all functions.
Her piercing emerald eyes
seemed to sparkle with stars.
Nephlite had to meet her in the
ballroom that night. It wasn't hard.
She wore a strapless dress that
matched her eyes perfectly, along
with pale pink gloves. She was
staring out at the dancing prince
and princess, watching anyone
who dared go near them.
Smiling at her dashingly, he
asked her, "Princess Lita,
may I have this dance?"
She blushed. The hard,
battle trained warrior was
shy.
<><><><><>
To even this day, her reaction caused
him to chuckle. It had been so hard
to believe. But he was helpless before
her. She could cradle his heart in her
hands lovingly, or she could crush it,
whatever she wished. But with her
sweet nature, despite her battle
hardness training on the outside,
wouldn't allow her to do anything
cruel to anyone. She was the Mistress
of the Stars, while he was the Master.
They were to be married, just like
everyone else after the war.
But, they way things were going,
that didn't look like it was going
to happen.
**********
The onslaught of the memories caused
him to drop the sword. Then he looked
to her and saw that tears were streaming
down her face. She knew that he had
returned to her, just as he promised.
**********
When he'd dropped the sword, Lita
had hoped against hope that his memories
were returning. Then he looked into her
eyes and she knew. Bursting into fresh
tears, she threw herself into his arms.
The stars watched innocently from
above. Their Master and Mistress
had returned to each other.
