Queen Beryl. That bitch. She ruined all our lives. Mine, the other generals, and the sailor senshi. Why do I care about the senshi you ask? I don't. I only care for one. Mars. After being sealed away in this damn crystal, I started to remember the past. When her and I were an item. When we were in love. She was so stubborn and she had a bad temper but, she was so beautiful when she was mad. Fire would dance around her eyes. Her fire. No one elses.

I want to get out of this crystal. I want to be with my beautiful princess again. This time, forever. But I doubt I will ever get out of here. No one can find me here. In this dreaded place known as Queen Beryl's Castle.

I see a tall figure coming near. I try to make out the face but it's hiding in the shadows. It's coming closer and closer. It can't be. Endymion. He saw me and started to observe the crystal. He touched it and quickly drew his hand back because it was deathly cold. He knew it was me. I know he knew it was me. I can see his expression. *Get me out of here my prince.* I think to myself. *Please.* I see him moving further away. *NO! Don't leave me here!* He goes back even further so I can't see him. *Stop!* Then I see a rose heading straight towards me. It shatters the crystal into pieces and I collapse on the floor. He catches me and wraps an arm around me for support. I'm free. *I Am Free.*

****************

I wake up to find myself in an apartment and not inside the crystal. "Is this a dream?" I ask myself. "No. it isn't Jadeite." I remebered what had happened yesterday. *Thank you Ebdymion.* I turn around to see who it is that is talking to me. "Endymion?" "Yes, but for now, call me Mamoru. We will be going to Rei's temple later." *Rei. My beautiful princess. We will be together once more.*

*****************

"Rei-chan. You're soo mean!!" Usagi was wailing. "Stop it you two. Save your fights for later," scoulded Luna. There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," said Minako. "Konichiwa Mamoru-san." "Konichiwa Mina." "So, who's that guy next to you," Minako whispered.

"An old friend. I'll introduce you to him with the rest." As soon as Mamoru and Jadeite walked in, Makoto, Artemis, Michiru, and Haruka looked surprised. Usagi was shocked at what she saw and so were Ami and Luna. Rei was angry. "Why did you bring him here Mamoru. I thought he was dead." "He never was. Just sealed inside a crystal." *What is wrong with her? Doesn't she remember?* "Why did you bring him back?"

"He remembers about the past after being in eternal sleep and I thought he might share it with us. He's not dangerous anymore."

"He never was. He was weak. He was a minor. His plans would always fail. He was nothing." "Rei-chan!" exclaimed Usagi. "How could you? He's healed now. He's not bad anymore!" "You believe that? After he tried to kill is? Baka! You never think what you're going to say. It just comes out! Have some sense. Do you really think he has changed?!" "I-I-I'm sorry Rei. I didn't mean-"

"Of course you didn't mean it. You never mean anything." Rei went to her room to be alone. Tears started to well up in her eyes. *What am I doing? I never cry.* She couldn't hold it any longer so she let the tears flow down her soft cheeks. She cried softly, kneeling next to her bed and her head buried in her arms and blanket. *I'm sorry Usagi.*

"Jadeite, are you alright? I bet Rei really didn't mean what she said." "I'm fine Makoto." Makoto was so nice and caring. She seemed to find the hurt in others. But I still want *her* back. My beautiful Rei-chan. "I'm gonna go check on her," I said. "NO!" yelled Haruka. "I'll go. She tends to act violent to the people she doesn't like."

**************

"Rei-chan. Open up." No answer. Haruka let herself in. She saw Rei, crying next to her bed.

"Rei-chan I-"

"Go away," she said in a whisper.

"But I-"

"Go away," she said a little bit louder this time.

"Look! I have to-"

"GO AWAY!!" Rei screamed it out this time and she picked up her vase from a near by table and threw it across the room.

"Rei! What's wrong with you?! Calm down." Haruka kneeled down next her and stroked her hair.

"Rei-chan, tell me what's wrong. I'll try my best to help."

"I really don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me."

"It's OK. Look, let's go downstairs and hear what Jadeite has to say."

"That's it. I don't want to know what he has to say. I know what he has to say and I don't want to hear it."

"What is he going to say?"

"That he loves me."

"Nani? What do you mean?"

"We *were* Silver Millenium lovers. But that was just the past. Luna told us but I didn't want to believe it."

"Why not?"

"Because if he did love me, he would never had joined the evil side."

*****************

"Jadeite, go talk to Rei. She has a lot to say about you," said Haruka.

"Where is her room?" I ask. She leads me to Rei's room and leaves. I don't know what I'm going to say to her but it really doesn't matter. I just want to look at her for the moments time. "Rei-chan, can I come in?"

"Who is it?"

"Jadeite." She opened the door slightly.

"What do you want?"

"Can I talk to you. Please?" She let me enter her room. There was broken glass over in one spot. She must have been mad.

"Do you remember what happened in the past?"

"Sort of."

"Can you tell me what you know?"

"We were lovers but you betrayed me and killed me in battle. That's all I know."

"I didn't mean to do it. It was Beryl. She captured us and brainwashed all the generals. You have to believe me."

"Why should I believe you. You're the enemy."

"I'm not any more Rei. When I was sentenced to eternal sleep, I started to remember everything that happened in the Silver Millenium. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble"

"I forgive you Jadeite but I can't love you. I don't want to."

"What?"

"Just because we were lovers in the past doesn't mean we have to be in the present and future. Our love wasn't destiny. It never was. It never will be. I'm sorry."

"Then will you give me a kiss goodbye?" I ask.

She sighed a calm sigh. "No."
