Well, I think you all know this fic started on 
a little untitled fic. I sort of expanded it a bit
and currently it now has one new prologue
and 3 parts. C&C is more than requested 
it is needed. Also help me with the little typos.

Prologue    

             The usual clear skies over the
Moon Palace of the Silver Millenium were
now filled with dark clouds, telling it's 
occupants that a very unwelcome visitor 
was to arrive. It would suffice to say that
he had already arrived from hearing the 
guards' screams of terror.  

             The doors to the chambers that
housed the newly-born princess and the
King and Queen were guarded by the 
Elder Inner Senshi and their men-at-arms.
The Outers were too far off to respond 
, since their visitor's surprise ' visit' was
unheralded by his usual retinue of minions.
The Elder Senshi saw a guard, nothing 
more than a bag of bones, fly across the 
treshold. Their visitor was here.
 

            He was a tall man , matching                   
Elder Jupiter's tall frame. His face, gaunt
yet handsome in a way, was set in a look
of amusement. His clothes, midnight black
on the ivory white floor, were of royal quality.
His cloak nearly reached the floor in it's length.

           ' He attacked me. What was I to do ?'
he said a smile on his face as he looked from
the emaciated guardsmen then to the Senshi.
' Good, I see my daughter has not yet arrived, or
has your Queen decided for her to be born later ?' 
Venom was in that voice and the Senshi winced
remembering what their Queen asked their visitor 
to do.  
   
           'Away now, Senshi. This business is 
none of yours. I have just come to make the pact
a little more binding.' With those words he waved
his hand and the Senshi and their companions 
were thrown to opposite walls.' Why thank you ! 
I'll be sending the Queen your regards.' he laughed 
heartily as he pushed the doors open and entered. 
The massive doors then closed behind him.

********************
            The Senshi quickly recovered from 
his attack, but they were unable to open the 
doors that held their Majesties captive. Elder 
Venus turned to Elder Mercury. ' Mercury use 
your computer to eavesdrop, now ! I want to 
find out what in blazes is going on in there !'

             Mercury immediately followed her
orders. Her computer was quickly set into 
eavesdrop mode.

' Don't worry Serenity you husband is just
out cold.'

' W-What will you do to my daughter ?'
The Senshi heard the quavering voice of their 
Queen and feared for the worst.

' I will not kill her, if you that is what you're 
thinking. No, I will make the pact between us
more secure.'

' Venus there has been a flash of energy within
the Royal Quarters. It matches the energy freq-
uency for an energy blade.' 

Venus swore when she heard on Mercury's com-
puter the gasp of the Queen. 

' Honor and Blood. ' the Senshi heard their visitor 
say. They heard him grunt.

' What are you doing !?!' 
' Blood is Honor.'
'No !'

' It is done, Serenity. She is now linked to me by
my blood.The pact is now set. I will not interfere
with your 'Silver Millenium' any longer. I will not 
aid it also if not in my interest. Your kingdom 
will now have to deal with the others of my kind.
I sweare on the honor in my blood,on the Ginzuisho
and on The Heart of Darkness, I am bound not to 
hurt anyone whose veins flow the blood of the child !'

' Massive energy surge inside the Royal Quarters, 
Venus. Better get in quickly. '

That was when Elder Jupiter and Elder Venus
broke down the door. They saw their Queen,
holding her baby, blood on it's lips. Their King
was also starting to return to consciousness. 
The Queen turned to them. And said two words.
 
' He's gone.'


                   

Part 1 - How A Villain Should Do It


                 The monster roared in defiance, it's 
razorblade hands glinted in the moonlight. People
, weakened after having ther energies, drained
were trying to crawl away.The Sailor Senshi were 
about to take it on, when something strange 
happened.

                  A teenage boy in glasses, dressed
in the usual black school uniform, went walking
in front of the monster schoolbag in hand. The
Senshi gasped when the monster attacked the 
boy, hands coming down to sliced the boy to 
ribbons. The boy looked at the monster off handedly 
as he deftly dodged the attack with a small jump.

                 ' Don't tempt me, ya twerp. I'm retired
from this sort of thing. So just shove off !' the school-
boy said. Ami then realized who he was. He was 
the newly transferred student. She heard that the 
boy was usually sweet tempered, though it wasn't 
obvious from the way he addressed the monster.
'Guys, he's the new student at school !' she whis-
pered to her compatriots.
 
                 The youma was roaring in the boy's 
face since he stayed where he was. ' Yeecch !! 
You've better get a mouthwash.' he said covering 
his nose with one hand.The monster attacked.
The youngster dodged again, jumping straight up
to avoid the blow. ' If you want to be rough then 
I better teach you some respect for your betters'

                  The boy's left hand suddenly erupted 
in black fire as he sent the dark fire streaming
downwards to the youma.' HELLFIRE BLAST !' 
Needless to say, the youma became nothing more 
than a mound of ashes before he landed.

                    ' Pathetic ! They don't make monsters 
like they used to ! A disgrace ! Whoever made that
thing should be dragged into the streets and shot !'
the boy ranted in a snide tone , while cleaning the
dust of his clothes and not minding the stare that the
Senshi were giving him. ' I made that thing , if you
don't mind !' said Jadeite sounding indignant as he 
materialized out of nowhere. He was recently freed 
from his crystal prison, finding the Dark Kingdom 
destroyed found employment under  another energy 
sucking being out for the destruction of the human 
race.        
 
                  ' You called that a monster , Jadeite ?'
the boy pointed at the ashes. Jadeite and the Senshi 
were taken aback by the boy's knowledge of his name.
The boy was obviously pissed off at not being given an
answer and threw an energy ball at Jadeite which he
narrowly dodged.' Jadeite, I was asking you a question !'

                   ' That was a monster, human, if you think
you can do better make one !' Jadeite said getting angry
at his attacker. ' That I will !' the boy said as he pointed
at one of people unconscious on the ground, a young 
woman in her twenties. She levitated off the ground and
was brought to an upright position by the unseen force
that he was using.' Let go of your Beast, milady' addressing
the unconscious woman as he sent a stream of dark power
into her. The woman opened her eyes then she screamed.
It was not the scream of a person but of an animal. Her
fingernails elongated becoming claws, her muscles
bulged ripping her clothes off, hair suddenly sprouted
all across her body became that of a cross between 
human and wolf. 'Hmmm, her animal is a wolf ,eh.'
the boy said as he contemplated his creation.' Fetch.'
he then said pointing at Jadeite. The monster became
a blur as she attacked Jadeite. It was fortunate for him  
that his shield was still up. The abomination bounced off
his shield harmlessly.
 
                    ' Tsk,Tsk, terribly impolite. Now milady,' the
boy said as he pointed once again at his creation,' Back.'
When he uttered the word, her body suddenly reverted 
to human form. The boy then let his dark power cover her
body with black facsimiles of her earlier garments. ' I maybe
a monster at times, but I have modesty.' he said as he
grinned wryly at the Senshi.

                        ' Back to you ,Jadeite. You don't use monsters
to suck energy.' he gestured to the sleeping people scattered 
all over the place. ' You do it like this !' he said with venom in
his voice. He suddenly materialized before Jadeite, bypassing his
shield. The boy's hand shot out like a snake ,and lifted Jadeite
off the ground by the neck. Dark energy cracked around them
as Jadeite's energy was absorbed by the boy. As suddenly as he 
attacked he threw Jadeite to a nearby light pole, thus making 
a bent where there should'nt be. Jadeite was visibly weak as 
he tried to stand up.
     
                         ' Be thankful Jadeite that I've retired from
the Work or I'd have made you ash, too. Another thing , Jadeite.'
the boy started to walk to his school bag, his voice starting 
to take on a lecturing tone. ' You don't attack the goody two shoes
directly. Hell, yeah, Beryl might have blasted the Silver Millenium
with a frontal attack but that left her wide open for a tactical 
counterstrike.' He picked up his bag and looked at the weakened
Dark Kingdom General. 

                        ' Villains should scheme and plot, trying to avoid a
direct confrontation. I told Beryl that a long time ago. As a former 
associate once said "Heroes storm the Gates of Hell. Villains climb
over the Walls of Heaven." Now ,scram before I decide that having
you for a wall ornament is something that I want to do' he said as he
dismissed him with a wave of his hand. Jadeite used the remaining
dark energy he had to make a portal to a place , preferably very
far away.

                         The Senshi assumed a battle stance as the
boy walked towards them. ' Relax , ladies. As I've said before
I'm retired from the world destruction business. I've destroyed
so many that I can't count them.' he said with another roguish
grin. 'Besides, the blood compact between Princess Serenity 
and I  makes me unable to hurt her. As for you guys , I don't 
like to hit beautiful girls. I'd rather date them. Well see you
tommorow at school.' he said as he jumped over them in a 
single bound. In to the waiting shadows.

Part 2 - Conversation

     The boy's name as far as the Sailor
Soldiers could surmise was Koji. Koji
Watanabe. It's nice having someone on
the team that can hack through school 
records. 
**********
      Koji was seated in a secluded spot
behind the school, munching on his lunch,
when the five of them arrived.He was also
singing an Air Supply song off-key.He smiled at
them and leaned back on the tree behind him.
'So, curiosity got the better of you.'

      'Hello Koji.' Ami said as she readied herself
for her question. It was quite possible that Koji
blast them right there and then if he felt insulted,
so she was about to ask the question about who
the hell he was and how in heaven's name he 
blasted that monster and Jadeite with such ease.
But he interrupted her before she could ask the 
question.
 
      ' Oh, my manners ! I'm quite sorry. Have you eaten 
yet ?' he asked offering his lunch , which seemed to
consist of black tofu and a pretzel-like snack on the
side. '  They look delicious but we've already eaten.
What are they anyway ?' said Rei with a meaningful
glance at Usagi who was looking quite hungrily.

      ' You've eaten already. Good, since  you probably   
won't be eating anything after I tell you what this stuff
is.' he said as he took one of the pretzel-like things      
and took a bite. ' I think I'll regret this but what are they
anyway ?' asked Minako her curiosity piqued.

      ' This,' holding up one of the pretzelly little morsels,
'is fried pig small intestines.' At this the Senshi's eye's 
bugged out. 'Quite tasty really.' he said as he smacked
his lips. ' This particular piece of horsd'oeuvres, ' he said
as he raised one of the tofu-looking black cubes ' is blood.'
He ate it in a bite.' WHAT ! That's blood.' Makoto said
disgust clear in her voice.

      ' Yes. Want to know how to make it ? Simple.
You slit the offending living being's throat out and let
all the blood flow out in a bucket. Put it in the fridge to
solidify. Then cut 'em up into cute little designs you want 
to eat them in. Then Voila ! A masterpiece of culinary
arts.' he said as he munched on the solid blood and fried
guts.

         At seeing the disgusted look that he caught on 
Usagi's face, he commented. ' Why, Princess , when 
you drank my blood during the binding of our pact you 
weren't so put off by it ! ' he said totally enjoying the look
that crossed her face as she ran away, followed by the
other Senshi. ' See you after school.' he shouted after them.
' Maybe I can wrangle a date or two out of your friends.' he
said as he laughed evilly as he began murdering another
classic song by the duo of Russel and Hitchcock.                                  

Part 3 - Walking Home

    All five of the Inner Senshi were
walking to the Hikawa Shrine. They
were talking about their earlier en-
counter with the student that called
himself Koji Watanebe. 

    ' Eeeagh ! He's disgusting ! Eating
those stuff ! It makes me want to 
vomit everytime I think of it.' Usagi said
remembering the way that he had eaten
his so called lunch. 

    ' Me too. But I wonder was he just joking 
or was he telling the truth ?' asked Ami
as they continued their walk. 

     'I never make a joke when the truth is much
more amusing.' The Senshi,surprised,all turned 
around to look at the speaker. It was Koji 
carrying his school bag and smiling at them.
' Didn't I say that I'd meet you after school ?'   
                                                    
      At their surprised looks, he grinned a bit 
wider. 'I have a link to the Princess,similar
to Prince Endymion's. I can track her down 
anytimew I wish. Drinking my blood has that 
effect on people.'  he said as he walked past 
them. He stopped and wheeled around. 'And
I would appreciate it if you don't call me Koji.
Koji Watanabe has beed dead for twelve years
now.' he said with a sad little smile. He then
turned and continued to walk on. The Senshi,
overcoming their surprise at his remark, went
after him.     
       
***************************************************

             ' What do you mean he's dead ?'
asked Ami out of curiosity when they
finally caught up with him. The boy that
was supposed to be Koji obliged her by
pulling up his sleeve showing a nasty scar
that ran from his forearm to shoulder. Then
he brushed some of his hair away to show 
stitches on his white scalp.

              ' Koji was hit by an out of control
truck when he was four years old. Miracul-
ously he survived the initial shock until he
was brought to the hospital. I was also at
the hospital at that time looking for a quick
snack.' The girls shuddered at this remark.
'I saw Koji being brought in. I paid him no
mind. I sensed that the boy was too far
gone to be any worth to me. Then I saw
his parents. I saw the looks of worry , the
horror and the tears that I've always seen.
Then I looked back at the boy. The looks
that I saw on his parents had tugged at my 
heart.' His face broke into another smile.

             ' You think I'm just another
heartless monster don't you. No, I am far
from heartless. Must be from hanging around 
you mother a lot. I know what it feels to lose
someone especially a child.' he said,his smile
fading with every step.

             ' Your mother was clever, Serenity.
She knew of my daughter's power. She 
deemed it neccesary in defense of her kingdom.
She asked me under the contract that we had
between us, that I give my daughter to her, free
of my taint. I had no other choice but to agree.
Honor I have if not any other virtue. I killed my 
daughter so that your mother might give her a 
new form.' Bitterness laced the words as he 
said them. Then he reverted back to his 
normal voice.  

                ' But I digress. The boy was the 
same age that of my daughter when I killed 
her. I took pity on his parents and entered 
the boy's mind to heal it. There was no poss-
ibility of that. His soul-seat , the place where
the essence of life is kept was destroyed. His
body was nothing more than an empty husk.
I decided to go , seeing that there can be no 
help. That was when my damned conscience
kicked in. ' He said that with a laugh.
                
                   ' Imagine. Me , someone that has
destroyed worlds and killed millions of living 
beings having a conscience ? Ha. Anyway I
remembered Koji's parents. Well, I thought to
myself living the boy's life for him would be quite
easy. I'll just let him die at a later date.I then 
merged with his body and I am what you see 
me now.' he said with a hand flourish to his body. 

                      ' I've tried to kill this body many
times. But everytime, I remember the boy's
parents. Hell, they're decent enogh people. I
just can't leave them like this can't I ? Hmmm,
it seems I'm getting soft in my old age.' he
said as he stopped and turned towards the 
Senshi.
   
                        ' So here we are girls.' he said 
pointing towards the shrine. The Senshi were
too involved in the story to notice were they were
that they looked surprised. Then the boy called
Koji bowed with great flourish. ' I think it's time for 
me to leave.' With that he turned around and walked
towards the setting sun. The five girls stared at him
for quite a while, before he turned to regard them
sideways, a grin plastered on his face. ' Hey girls,
how about a date ?' he said the dying light silhoutting
his frame.
