It's the 38th century, since the creation of Crystal Tokyo the humans started to live longer and keep their youth due to the power of the Silver Crystal. It didn't mean their life span would last forever, their bodies' energy still diminished as they aged, they still got illness, including the sailors, even though, they still had some other privileges for having special star-seeds.

The sailors live in the Crystal Castle land and each of them have their own properties in specific points around the castle.

It was a Monday early morning, 17 year old Kaname had spent the weekend at the Castle with his father, the King Endymion.

"Your classes just start at 10AM, do you really need to leave this early?" the King said making a face lifting one eyebrow

"Yeah, I still need to go home to get something and then I'm going to pay a visit at the shrine to check if they need something for me to provide and then I'll go to college." Kaname replied with a light smile and calm composure

"I think you take too much responsibilities just for yourself. You shouldn't push yourself so much. You deserve to relax and live a normal life." the King made a comment

"Daddy, I do have a normal life. With organization I have time for everything. I like everything I'm doing right now. I love listening and taking care of people. I love the med school. I love my family and friends who always supported me since I was born! I have nothing to complain, just to be thankful for the chance of this life!" Kaname replied with enthusiasm and giving a hug on his father who felt really proud with such gesture

"I guess I'm aging, son! You're not the little baby anymore and I still need to get used to it! It's about time for you to live your own life and spread your wings."

"I guess you're definitely aging Dad! I might spread my wings, but I'm not going to fly away from any of you." Kaname said with a warm smile

"Well, it's because when I compare you to your sister… you are so different! She belongs home, she can do her stuff, but she's always home. And you… you barely stop at your homes, you belong to the world." the King spoke almost with a sigh

"But you can always find me!"

"Yeah! But it seems that this current long life won't be long enough to spend with you!"

"Yeah, I agree. It took a while for me to reincarnate, but Dad, we still have plenty of time to spend together ahead. You're speaking as if you're so old and your life span is ending when in fact you're not really that old! You're just 42 years old of a normal human life." Kaname said and smiled largely

"Hahaha, you're right son! Let's say I'm close to my mid-age crisis!" the King replied getting in the good vibe of his son

"Yeah! Exactly! Now Dad, I have to go. If you need to talk more, you know where to find me!" Kaname nodded and gave a hug of goodbye

Endymion sighed still smiling, surely that was the most remarkable trait his son had, the optimism and the cheerfulness. It was like Kaname would always have a positive solution to everything. He sighed a bit and headed to his study room to figure how to approach Kaname about a particular matter.

Rei and Jadeite were having their breakfast while Kaname was in his room.

"You should take a rest when you finish your meal. You spent the whole night awake worried about Rina and gladly she is finally better from the fever and there's not much to do about flues. " Jadeite spoke in a friendly way

"I know, but I can't just relax. She never had such a strong flu before… you how much a mother suffers when their kid is sick!" Rei tried to justify her slight over protection for their daughter

"Yes, I know that, but you won't help that much if you get stressed and sick too."

Kaname was passing by when he listened to part of their conversation, "Who is sick too?" he asked in curiosity

"Nobody, yet! I'm telling your mother for her to get some rest, she spent the whole night awake worried with your sister's strong flu, Rina is better now and sleeping, so your mother should do the same."

"Oh I see…" Kaname spoke making a face that he understood the matter

"Yeah, but I still have so much to do! I need to clean the house, do the laundry and groceries, visit the shrine… There's no time for me to rest now!" Rei spoke defending her point

"Mom… Jadeite is right! I'll do the groceries when I get back, the laundry and cleaning the house you can do later or some other time when you're free. The house is not even that messy! By the way, I'm on my way to the shrine, so please, just take a rest!"

"On your way to the shrine? Don't you have classes today?" Rei said

"I do, but just later. I have everything scheduled in my mind, don't worry about it! Now I have to go. Bye-bye." Kaname said in a hurry after taking a look at the watch

Rei and Jadeite exchanged gazes sharing the same reaction.

"This gets me worried too!" Rei said with a sigh

"What?" Jadeite replied after taking a bite of the bread

"He's just 17 and already have too much responsibility on his shoulders. He does so many things at the same time, that I still can't figure how he manages to have time for all of them! Not even me in his age had so much to do!" Rei said making a face

"I agree… but he likes it, right? There's nothing wrong in him keeping himself busy."

"Yeah, but he is 17! He should relax too and be a normal teen sometimes."

"This is so funny."

"Why?"

"As far as I know, in his age you didn't want relationships and now you wish your son to have it!." Jadeite commented with a smile

"Oh… yeah, but I had concrete and real reasons to not want relationships!" Rei paused and referred to her trauma against men, "But, honestly, it was around that age that I started to reflect about that such strong opinion and decided to give it a try and a few times later I finally had my first boyfriend!"

"I see. So you had somebodyelse before Endymion?" it sounded more as exclamation

"Yeah, in this life there was someone else before him and I think it was good. It taught me that there was still hope for my heart and that there was still some good guys out there… but my 1st boyfriend wasn't the first one I fell in love... I had a crush on a guy when I was 13 and I had my first kiss with him, but I still had a dark image of men deep inside and when I got disappointed with him… it just "confirmed" my bad thoughts on men. Today I see I wasn't ready for love."

"I'm glad to know that you reflected at some point and decided to give a chance to love. I would never have a chance with you if that hasn't happened… I know I've said it before, but I always felt something for you since the first time I laid my eyes on you in this current life. We didn't remember our past, but I guess you were so remarkable in the Silver Millennium that I might have kept that even after being controlled by Beryl."

"True… I guess I kept the bad memories from my past, but I'm finally free from that! Surely we had great times in the Silver Millennium and we still have now. You can be sure that I don't regret at all to have given us an opportunity and married you! You are very important to me and I learned to love you in a way that I never felt before… not even with Endymion." Rei spoke with a warm gaze and held Jadeites hands over the table

They smiled at each other, they shared the same loving gaze.

"I love you so much Rei. I've being living the best years since I met you. I know you have real feelings for me… I'm true when I say that I don't wish to compete with my Lord, I know the strong bond you two share with each other. I think it's unfair to compare such feelings and people… however in this life we are continuing what we started in the Silver Millennium, we have a beautiful and smart daughter! You and I have ups and downs, but this is part of any relationship, right?" Jadeite spoke smiling

Rei nodded in agreement

"Yet, we are here standing for one another and living great moments as a family! And there's also Kaname who is a great kid and is like a son to me, even though I try to be as much neutral as I can to not interfere in your raising him, but just because he has a living and present father!"

"I know and I thank you a lot for your full support all these years and especially for accepting Kaname and his father just like that! And thank you for giving me our amazing daughter!" She smiled leaving her seat and standing closer to Jadeite laying down her face. They shared a tender kiss.

"Thank You!" Jadeite replied with a smile

"You're going to get late for work!" Rei said after taking a look at the clock

"Yeah, and you lady, take a rest! Don't worry about home chores today! I'll help you later." He said with a smile and left after giving her another kiss on the lips

Rei didn't feel so tired anymore and couldn't help the urge to clean the house, but before she could do it, she went to check on her daughter once again and after seeing she was sleeping in a deep sleep, she started to clean the living room and while she cleaned, she hummed

In love, extremes are all right
I don't want any sweet words
Before drowning in dreams
Light up your eyes, and go mad love

The scars of the past hurt
When time passes, they'll disappear
Live without telling lies
Break your body, and go for break

The city is a broken necklace
I won't give in to loneliness
Throw off the decorated clothes
Gracefully, fighting pose to you

Fire soul bird in love
Fire soul bird in love
Stand up tall! Oh oh oh
Fire soul bird in love
Fire soul bird in love
Seek after tomorrow! I love passion

In love, I want excitement
Forget things like simplicity
I will catch dreams in my hand
Make your spirit boil, and go mad love

On the street, a dropped earring
I won't pick it up miserably
Throw off the red high heels
Foolishly, fighting pose to you

Fire soul bird in love
Fire soul bird in love
Start running! Oh oh oh
Fire soul bird in love
Fire soul bird in love
Seek after happiness! I love passion

Rei was distracted while she hummed such song and her attention was caught by hearing knocks on the door. She took a pause from her chore and went to check the door. She opened the door and there was no one outside. She looked to the sides outside and didn't see anyone around, then she closed the door.

Getting back to her chores

Knock, Knock, Knock

Rei paused again to check the door and once again, there was no one outside. Rei sighed a bit and wondered if it was her imagination. She closed the door once again and before she could get back to her chore, she heard the door opening abruptly. Rei immediately turned around and felt a hot wind. She didn't see anyone and tried to feel the energy of the event, but it was too sudden and ended. The papers and light objects fell on the ground messing the place.

Rei ran to the door and when she looked to the side, she saw Endymion coming at her house's way.

"So it's you who is doing this! How old are you?!" She shouted while heading to his way

"What?" Endymion replied puzzled

"Using the breeze to break my house's door like that!" she continued the accusation

"What? Are you out of your mind? I just got here! Why would I do that?!"

"I don't know, to scare me? To pay for the repair of it and of the objects that fell and broke on the floor? You tell me!" she said still annoyed

"What?! What would I win with that? I don't know what happened, but all I know is that I didn't do anything!"

Rei took a heavy sigh, there was no point in arguing about that.

"Let me take a look at the mess." Endymion said with a friendly tone trying to easy things down

They walked until the door entrance, Endymion could see the damage on the door locker. They got in talked about the matter and how it happened.

"I'm going to analyze the system and check if there was any different entrance or energy variation here and tell you later." Endymion spoke with a serious face

"Thank you, I tried to feel the presence, but it was too sudden or maybe I'm losing the practice."

"Don't worry about it."

"Anyways, why did you come here today?" Rei spoke lifting her eyebrow

"I wanted to talk to you."

"Again? We already talked yesterday!"

"Yeah, but yesterday I didn't have the subject I have now." Endymion replied passing his hand on his hair

"Really? What's the subject that cannot wait us talk some other time?"

"Kaname…"

"As the usual!" Rei rolled her eyes

"No, this time is different… You live with him more than I do, so do you know Epione?"

"No."

"Never heard that name before?"

"Nope. Who is it?" Rei replied in curiosity

"I don't know, I thought you could tell me that." Endymion said after a sigh

"No, when did you hear it?"

"Last night. I heard him on phone… he sounded caring!"

"Really?!" Rei said widening her eyes

"Really!"

"Wow and me wondering that he didn't have a normal life!" Rei said remembering the earlier talk with Jadeite

"I don't like it!" Endymion said with a serious face

"Why not? he deserves to have a normal life, to fall in love, to date, to get married and have kids! I don't think this life of his is just for duty!

"I'm not referring to that. I meant that I don't like he keep it as a secret. He already keeps a lot of things to himself to hide such matter from us… it feels like he doesn't trust us!" Endymion said with frustration

"Everybody hides their first love!" Rei said trying to easy things down, "Plus, he's a teenage now! Soon he will be a grown up man with a long mission, which we don't know much or anything about."

"I know, but…"

"Endy… we have to face that our son is not a kid anymore. I completely understand you and how you feel… we will always be his parents, so we can ask what's going on in his life! I'll try to make him open up a little bit, but I thought this kind of intimacy he had with you."

"No… and I thought he was more open with you as you're the mother."

"Our son is a box of surprises." Rei said with a light smile

"Yeah, he is… or mysteries!"

"Epione… that's interesting." Rei said making a face while thinking about the subject

"Why?" Endymion asked in curiosity

"It sounds like a girl name… our son is finally living a normal life after all! He has become a teenage, have both parents, have siblings, and now a girlfriend and soon he might start a family… This is all new to the three of us! It seems right!" Rei said a bit emotional, but still with excitment

"Yeah…" he paused, "It's not just perfect because his parents are separated." He spoke with a sigh

Rei looked at him, they exchanged gazes, but she turned her eye quickly, it was the best to do. Endymion understood her avoiding and he recollected himself, it was the right to do. In fact, they remembered of their promise they made while in Heliopolis for a future life.

"Sorry… sometimes I just can't help it." Endymion spoke

"I know, but you'd better hold more yourself… I don't want anyone else listening to it and having the wrong idea of us. Jadeite is a great man and husband, he doesn't deserve that. He's been too much understanding about the whole thing." Rei said with a warning tone

"I know. It won't happen again. At least in my dreams I can have you whatever I want, anytime I want…"

"Endy…" she was interrupted

"I'll learn to hide quite well my feelings about you just like you do. At least, that's what I prefer to believe, that you learned to disguise it very well, instead of that you have forgotten me…"

"I'm living the present! Not the past, not the future. Just the present and in that, I prefer to not think about you at all. That's why we let our special seeds in Heliopolis, so it could be easier to wait this long life span and not have a relapse, wasn't it?"

Endymion made a slight nod in agreement.

Watching his reaction to her words, Rei finally sighed and her gaze changed to a softer one, "But it doesn't mean I let go of you…". Their eyes met and they smiled at each other relieved that they still had mutual feelings, their love hadn't died.

Their moment was interrupted when Jadeite opened the door, Rei and Endymion looked at him.

Jadeite wasn't surprised to see Endymion at their house, it was an usual routine, almost every day Rei and Endymion talked, usually he paid a visit to her. Jadeite never asked the subject, he preferred to ignore their privacy or intimacy. He fully trusted Rei.

"Master!" Jadeite greeted Endymion who nodded at him "I knew you would be here… The Queen was calling for you." Jadeite continued

"What happened?" Endymion asked in curiosity

"Small Lady as the usual…"

Endymion sighed, it was always like that, he would always be the one to control their teenage daughter. As a matter of fact, he couldn't help the thought of comparison between his children, their difference of personalities was huge sometimes. Small Lady was a good girl, but tended to whine a lot at times, just like her mother. In the other hand, Kaname was the total opposite, calm and contended, the type that didn't complain or got stressed with anything.

"Alright, thank you." Endymion replied and turned his face to Rei and spoke, "Let me know if you learn anything."

"Sure... And you tell me if you find anything in the system." Rei replied

"Of course, I'm going to check it after I talk to my daughter."

"Thank you."

Listening to the talk, Jadeite couldn't help his curiosity, "Did anything happen?" he asked worried about their tone

"Yeah. After you left, I decided to do some chores and I heard knocks on the door and when I opened it, there was no one on the other side, but in the 3rd time I just had time to look back in reflex because the door opened abruptly and I felt a very hot wind that messed up the house, if you didn't notice it." Rei explained

"She even blamed me for doing that!" Endymion made a comment

"Yeah, I just thought it was him because I immediately ran outside and I saw him coming at the way, but he said he didn't do it, so we are wondering if the system has detected some variation at that time. It was too quick, but long enough for damages. The door is broken and Endymion offered to repair it."

"Oh I see… that's strange." Jadeite spoke thoughtful

"You didn't see anything different today?" Endymion asked

"No! but knowing this, I'll talk to the other guardians and we will make a look around."

"Yeah, you do that."

The three of them talked briefly a bit more, Endymion and Jadeite left back to the Crystal Castle.

(**)

A redhead woman, with light skin, wearing a long red dress was sitting on a throne, she observed attentively a parchment in her hands. There was something in it that delighted her. She made a face, as if her victory was close. She immediately hid it when she heard footsteps coming at her way.

"Sailor Scorpius… did you check her?" the ginger woman spoke with a calm tone

"Yes."

"And what is your prognostic?"

"Her life span is less every minute. Her end is close. I've also checked the deposit of the System and things are bad! Our extinction is a fact any time…" Sailor Scorpius spoke with a sad, but resilient gaze

The ginger woman held her breath after hearing the last sentence. She had an unreadable look. She kept her composure and remained in silence, "Speak of the extinction of yours, but not mine! I won't die in a free way like that!" she thought not demonstrating her vexed opinion

Well guys, that was it for now. I hope you liked it! There's much more to come, this is just the beginning, stay tuned!
