* I don't own Sailor Moon and I'm not Naoko Takeuchi.

* I'm really pissed off right now. >_<! I already had part 4

written for you all, but then our hard drive crashed and our

CPU got messed up and everything, so I lost all the files I

had except for the stuff I backed up about a week or so ago,

which is all my files, but without webpage updates, new pics

and files and music stuff, rpg mail, and yes, even the part

I wrote for LPRD.  So I'm sorta trying to make do with what

I have right now, but of course, I could never forget about

my fanfic or anybody currently reading, so I went and wrote

part 4 all over again.  I'm really really really really

really really realllllllly mad because I liked what I had

written before and I'm not as satisfied with this than I was

with the last one, but it's the best I could do. So I hope

you like the rewrite of part 4, though I personally don't

like it as much as I would like to like it. >.<

* Oh yah, if you're wondering who Junmei is in this fanfic,

she is the younger sister of Rei.  Yes, a made-up character,

and I hate new fanfic characters, but I needed some close

family relative of Rei's to go with the Cleopatra storyline.

Rei was seated next to Endymion.  He had let the slight sur-

prisement of his 'gift' sink in, and the two say in silence

for a short moment now knowing what exactly to say.



"What exactly brings you here to Earth, Hino-sama?" Endymion

asked, breaking the silence between them.



"I understand that my father was in debt to you.  Is in debt

to you, I mean.  But as you have heard, my otousan is very

ill at the moment, so matters are now in my hands."



Endymion nodded. "So you are currently ruling over Mars, am

I not mistaken?"



"Hai, Chiba-sama--and I have my eyes set on ruling over Mars

permanently, too." Rei replied.



"But what about this... Junmei.. that I'm hearing of? Hino

Junmei, is it not?"



"Don't speak of her.  She's not important, all she does is

ruin things for us all, especially the people of Mars."



Endymion tilted his head. "She is your sister.."



"Hai. She believes that the crown of Mars is to be placed on

her head.  She believes that Mars is hers. It's always 'Jun-

mei this, Junmei that' in her mind." Rei had a look of dis-

gust on her face when she spoke her sister's name. She could

hear Endymion chuckling slightly. "What's so funny?"



"Ah... nothing, nothing at all..." He changed the subject.

"Now, Hino-sama... where do you intend to stay?"



"Well I was about to ask the same of you.  Once it is known

in and out of the palace that I'm hear, I'm sure that they

will have me killed!"



Endymion nodded. "You are right. We can't let you out of the

palace because of that, yet you are my possession now... so

we wouldn't be letting you out anyway."



"Possession?!" Rei shouted angrily. "I am not some... some

THING that you own!"



"But you presented yourself as a gift.." He smirked. "But

anyway, where exactly do you think is a safe place for you?"



Rei stood up slowly.  She let herself calm down first before

answering.  She remembered what the Great Fire had advised

her to do. "Well, Chiba-sama... I know of _one_ place..."



"... and where would that be?"



She brushed her hand against the door to his bed chambers.

"There is only one bed that I know of which has its privacy

here in the palace.."



"Ah, but Hino-sama, it wouldn't be a prudent thing to do,

now would it..." He made it a statement and not a question.



"But you're not known for your prudency, are you." She said,

pushing the door open.



"No, Hino-sama.. I am not.." he said and soon followed Rei

into the room, shutting the door behind himself.
