				Meiō Kiyoshi, the Knight of Pluto, stood gazing quietly into the pool of water that he and Setsuna often used as a viewing portal.&nbsp; &nbsp;The past several years had seen not only a drastic surge in the amount of youma activity but the reawakening of the other senshi as well.&nbsp; &nbsp;While Setsuna had made her presence known, they'd long since decided to leave his presence a secret until the other knights reawakened.<br><br>If they reawakened.<br><br>The gazing pool stood in one of the rooms in the Plutonian palace, and he was expecting her return from Earth at any moment.&nbsp; &nbsp;He watched the ripples and flow of the time stream, patiently waiting.&nbsp; The two of them had been together for a very long time: not only where they husband and wife but they were the only true survivors of the Silver Millennium.&nbsp; During the destruction of the Silver Millennium, the two had been inside the Time Gate itself and thus had been spared the fate of others.<br><br>And like the others of their position, their powers conveyed upon them both timeless and agelessness: forever frozen in their early twenties.&nbsp; They were the last of Pluto, none would follow after.<br><br>Kiyoshi awaited Setsuna's arrival with both impatience and calm.&nbsp; &nbsp;As long as they'd been together, he still missed her when she was gone.&nbsp; And watching her in the pool was a poor substitute at best.

				Responsibilities on Earth, both as a senshi and as a civilian, often stole her presence and time, as vast and infinite as it was for her and her Knight as Time Guardians.&nbsp; Setsuna, dark haired, dark skinned, dark eyed, finished her duty giving advice to the younger future queen (as well as collecting her homework as a university student, even those duties could not be shirked!).<br><br>As much as she enjoyed time spent with her fellow senshi she often yearned for her solitary home planet on the outskirts of the galaxy (which is often seen by it’s inhabitants as the first line of defense in an outer galaxy attack).&nbsp; She longed for her planet, and even for the cool, comfortable company of her Knight and husband, Kiyoshi.<br><br>Though they had never been truly romantic she enjoyed his familiarity.&nbsp; Even so, her heart stung with silent guilt at feelings she knew she should not have as she quietly slipped into the transportation void.&nbsp; It felt like walking through a thin sheet of icy water, stomach dropping as if plummeting down a steep dive, light and breath stolen away for three heartbeats before she emerged in the viewing pool room behind Kiyoshi, catching the silver-haired warrior during one of his quiet contemplative moments as he gazed into the pool unaware as of yet of her presence.&nbsp; The rippling light from the pool cast chasing shadows and lights over his handsome features.<br><br>“Tadaima.”&nbsp; Setsuna spoke in her soft deep voice, announcing her arrival. <br><br>"Everything is well on Earth... how fares Pluto in my absence?"<br>

				Kiyoshi had been unaware of Setsuna's arrival but when she spoke, he turned to look at her.&nbsp; &nbsp;His eyes danced up and down her body, familiar to him as his own.&nbsp; Perhaps even more so, upon contemplation.&nbsp; His silver hair flowed out behind him, nearly as long as her own.<br><br>"Quiet and lonely, as always when you are not here."&nbsp; &nbsp;He said quietly as his eyes finally settled upon her face.&nbsp; &nbsp;Without having to think about it, he reached out his right hand to her, wanting to draw her close to him.&nbsp; To feel the warmth of her body against his, to share time and space with the only person that could truely understand the burden that they carried.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I missed you."<br><br>

				A soft-edged smile warmed her lips and eyes the color of heart’s blood, placing her long-fingered elegant hand into his own in the familiar ritual upon her arrival, her dark olive skin contrasting against his fair skin.<br><br>“And I, you.”<br><br>It was, after all, the truth.&nbsp; &nbsp;Kiyoshi had been a playmate and close friend in their shared youth, partners in defending their home planet and their charges of the Time Gate and Underworld, and as lovers during their millennia long marriage.&nbsp; <br><br>She allowed herself to be drawn towards his lean and warm body, gently resting herself against him, part of her distant as always.<br>

				Kiyoshi enfolded Setsuna in his arms, as protective of her today as he'd been that very first day when they were small that she'd stumbled and invariably skinned her knee.&nbsp; He'd held her then when she needed him and today he needed her as much as she needed him.<br><br>After a long moment of just holding her in silence, he lifted her chin and kissed her lingerly on the lips.&nbsp; &nbsp;He gave her a small smile, gazing into her eyes.&nbsp; "The flowers just off the balcony are in bloom again."&nbsp; He told her, adjusting his embrace so that his arms were around her waist.&nbsp; "They just opened this morning, in fact."

				The Plutonian princess tilted her head at his gentle gesture upon her chin and accepted the sweet and nostalgic kiss that bound them together.&nbsp; Accepting but not quite returning…<br><br>She returned his gaze, delicate hands resting on the arms encircling so protectively. <br><br>“Oh?&nbsp; Is it really time for them to bloom already?”<br><br>Turning her head in the direction he indicated, as if she could see through the very walls themselves to see the barest buds revealing their faces to the world.&nbsp; Unlike what many Earthlings believed and saw Pluto was a thriving planet, full of it’s own unique flora as well as fauna.&nbsp; Not the dead dwarf that had been cast out of the “official” classification on the solar system so many Earth astrologists believed it to be – no.. she wasn’t still bitter about that little slap in the face.&nbsp; Dwarf indeed.<br><br>“Show me?”<br><br>She spoke softly, as was her customary habit.<br>

				"Of course."&nbsp; Kiyoshi relaxed his embrace, taking Setsuna's hand in his own.&nbsp; &nbsp;He walked with her hand in hand up the tower to where their bedchamber was, leading her to the balcony on the far side of the room.<br><br>Once out on the balcony, he stayed right behind her, encircling her with his arms again.&nbsp; With his hands crossed over her stomach, he let his chin not quite settle on her shoulder.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Look, it's going to be a good year for them."

				Setsuna followed Kiyoshi,&nbsp; hand-in-hand, through the empty rooms of their silent palace and retreat, headed towards their secluded bedchamber.&nbsp; &nbsp;Shimmering fabrics and lacy gauze shrouded their bed creating depth and mysterious shadows.<br>Now standing upon their balcony, secure hands lightly brushing across her belly with each breath, gazing at the newborn buds vined and curled around the banister.&nbsp; &nbsp;Blood garnet in color, the same as their stones,&nbsp; the jeweled petals opened to reveal a dark passage of violent near their base trickling down the trumpet where bright yellow stamen rose forth from its depths. <br><br>“Mmh.” <br>She replied, agreeing, looking forward to their scent, which would perfume the palace for months after their season passed. <br><br>“They’re beautiful.”<br>Setsuna murmured, tilting her gaze up to Kiyoshi’s jaw.<br><br>“Have you been flowerwatching all day?”<br>She teased, knowing full well that he had his own responsibilities, as many if not more than her own - as not only the partner guardian but also protector of herself.<br>

				"I've been watching the eternal flower of Pluto all day."&nbsp; &nbsp;Kiyoshi reminded Setsuna, giving her a slight squeeze around the waist that doubled as a hug.&nbsp; His eyes sought then found hers, gazing into the depths of those orbs of hers.<br><br>"You choose to come home at just the right time, my princess."&nbsp; &nbsp;He whispered after a moment, leaning forward and touching his lips against hers.&nbsp; A dozen lifetimes and more of being together, fighting together against every enemy imaginable, sharing joy and grief and pain.<br><br>Their relationship was complicated,&nbsp; to say the least.&nbsp; "I'll leave the balcony open, I'm sure that you're tired and want to get some sleep.&nbsp; We can talk after you've had a nap."

				Garnet met amethyst in their gaze; her eyes were placid and cool but eternally rimmed with private sadness just along the edges.&nbsp; A sad loneliness that came with her responsibilities, something the other senshi saw and respected but could never fully understand.&nbsp; But in truth, she was not completely alone, she had Kiyoshi, her ever faithful and devoted Knight and husband.<br><br>His words ever sweet and meaningful never ceased to cause her cheeks to glow with slight warmth.<br><br>“Yes, thank you.&nbsp; A nap sounds good…”<br>A nap with an open flower-scented breeze sounded wonderful.&nbsp; Advising the Princess Serenity at this young age was trying at best and downright frustrating at other times though she never let her princess know this. <br><br>She hesitated before moving away and towards the bed.<br><br>“What will you do?”<br>

				Kiyoshi let Setsuna slip from his embrace, the scent of her lingering just a bit in his nostrils.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I was thinking that I'd put together a bit of lunch for when you wake up."&nbsp; &nbsp;He pressed a kiss into her neckline.&nbsp; &nbsp;"We can talk after you've rested and eaten."<br><br>He gazed thoughtfully out at the blooms just outside the balcony.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I've got a few odds and ends that I need to check on before I can give you my undivided attention for a while."&nbsp; &nbsp;He explained, stepping back one step from her.&nbsp; &nbsp; "And if you're in the mood, we'll make love too."

				The soft kiss hit home and sent a ripple of shivers down her neck, olive skin rising with goosebumps.&nbsp; She turned as he disengaged himself, fingers brushing across his hand carefully.<br><br>“Sometimes I wonder who is the wife and who the husband.”&nbsp; <br>She murmured, amused but also grateful for his eternal gestures of affection granting him another one of her small smiles.&nbsp; Part of her felt a small pang of guilt that she should rest while he continued to work, it wasn't fair, was it?<br><br>As she turned while his attention was on the blossoms she was caught off guard by his blunt statement and manner about it- although this was entirely his nature it none-the-less sent a bloom of head to darken her cheeks. He seemed so casual about it...<br><br>“If you’d like…”<br>She moved towards the changing screen, praying that her long, black green hair hid the adolescent response to something they had been doing together for eons.&nbsp; Ever modest she quickly slipped behind the screen to change out of her casual civilian clothes she wore to college.<br>

				Kiyoshi managed to snag Setsuna by the waist long enough for a rather chaste kiss before she disappeared behind the changing screen.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I'd like."&nbsp; &nbsp;He added, sparing a small smile to her before he turned and departed from their bedroom.<br><br>Naturally, he hadn't missed that extra color on her cheeks.&nbsp; Married a millennium and still he could still manage to make her blush from time to time.&nbsp; As he wandered back down the stairs toward the viewing pool, his mind was on what to prepare for lunch.&nbsp; &nbsp;Plutonian dishes were quite different than Terran ones, after all.<br><br>He continued to ponder the matter in the back of his mind, taking roughly an Earth hour to settle on a plan of action.&nbsp; &nbsp;He finished the last of his viewing and dismissed the image with a causal wave of his hand.&nbsp; &nbsp;Humming an old Plutonian ball room tune, he headed for the kitchen, making a side trip to the gardens to select three bulbs of her favorite flower to compliment the meal.<br><br>Still humming happily, and with tray in hand, he ascended the steps back to their bedchamber.&nbsp; &nbsp; The bulbs were placed in such a way to accent the prepared meal, which was complimented with nothing other than Plutonian spring water.&nbsp; &nbsp;He walked quietly across the room, sitting on the bed next to her.&nbsp; With a small smile, he reached out and caressed her cheek, speaking softly to awaken her should she not already be awake.&nbsp; "Lunch time, Setsuna."&nbsp; &nbsp;He would wait until she was awake and sitting up before presenting her with lunch.

				Setsuna became thoughtful as she stripped herself of her day clothes, more and more of her dark skin exposed, clothes lightly tossed to the side to be washed later before wriggling into a loose shirt and a pair of denim hotpants which exposed and overly generous amount of her impossibly long legs.&nbsp; She enjoyed Earth fashion and found hotpants to be a comfortable piece to wear around her home – whether it be privately in the palace or in their shared apartment on Earth.<br><br>She let her mind drift over Kiyoshi’s frank manner about sex… everything she had heard from the post-adolescent babble of the her peers or the films they forced on her seemed to suggest that love making happened without words, at the heat of the moment.&nbsp; It was sometimes so with Kiyoshi but more often than not his selfless manner towards her often lead to asking, for permission.&nbsp; She cared deeply for him but, was it love?<br><br>This eternal question plagued her mind once more as she crawled under the blankets of their bed and settled in, curled on her side and letting her long train of hair splay onto the pillow and dangle off the edge of the bed.&nbsp; She knew she shouldn't think so, it felt wrong... these thoughts hung in her mind as she slowly drifted off to dreamless sleep.<br><br>It felt like she had just drifted off a moment before a feathery caress tickled her cheek, drawing her away from the deep waters of sleep.<br>"Mmm..."<br>Groggily, eyes opened, her mind and thoughts heavy and sticky as she slowly turned her head towards the source of the caress but the smell of good food steadily cleared things.<br>"Issit time, already?"<br>She mumbled, voice thick with sleep, sitting up with a dazed expression.<br>

				"Yes."&nbsp; &nbsp;Kiyoshi told Setsuna when she seemed more awake.&nbsp; &nbsp;"If you sleep any longer then you won't get any sleep tonight."&nbsp; &nbsp;He told her, watching her patiently.&nbsp; &nbsp; He gazed upon that face that he knew so well, absently noting that she looked exactly the same as she had the day that they were married.&nbsp; &nbsp;Also the same as the day they recieved their powers and accompanying duties.<br><br>He helped her to sit up, tucking her pillow in behind her lower back to better support her.&nbsp; &nbsp;He then presented her lunch with a flourish.&nbsp; &nbsp;He smiled, leaning over to kiss her softly on the lips before leaning back to watch her eat.

				Steadily as her mind focused she ran fingers through her long greenblack hair, slightly mussed from her sleep.&nbsp; She knew he was right and stirred more, sitting up and sending sleepy but thankful eyes towards her husband as he tucked the pillow behind her.&nbsp; Even after all these years, all these eons he was still so sweet to her, from the moment they were introduced to each other as playmates by their parents he was always so.<br><br>Deep garnet eyes widened when the laden tray was set onto her lap.<br><br>“You’re going to spoil me…”<br>She breathed out, a little chuckle lilting her words amazed at the spread before her.&nbsp; He had managed to whip up a light traditional Plutonian meal that smelled absolutely heavenly.&nbsp; Kiyoshi was always the better cook, even after countless decades it was usually he who willingly cooked their meals.&nbsp; Her gaze fell onto the trio of bulbs arranged so pleasantly around her meal.<br><br>“Thank you…”<br>She was truly grateful, reaching out to catch his wrist and give it a gentle squeeze.<br><br>“Won’t you eat with me?”<br>Setsuna always felt a bit guilty to eat alone… especially when it was Kiyoshi who prepared the food, delicately taking up the chopsticks they had brought back from Earth at one time or another.

				"You're welcome."&nbsp; Kiyoshi rolled his wrist around to clasp Setsuna's hand in his own, returning the squeeze before letting go so she could eat.&nbsp; "Actually, I ate before you got home so eat up and enjoy."&nbsp; &nbsp;He informed her, his eyes fixed on her face.<br><br>He carefully brushed another stray lock of hair back into place, luxurating in the feel of her hair underneath his fingertips.&nbsp; He then folded his hands in his lap, patiently watching her every move and waiting until she was finished so he could whisk the remains away to a table on the far side of the room.<br><br>Once that task was accomplished, he stood next to the bed, holding out a hand to her.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Let he hold you for a bit."&nbsp; He would gather her in his embrace, his arms around her waist, snuggling her close.

				Kiyoshi never ceased to make Setsuna feel like a true princess, another blessing of their bonding.&nbsp; Setsuna lifted a bite to her lips and luxuriated in the bouquet of flavor that spread across her tastebuds.<br><br>“Mh… it’s delicious.”<br>She announced, hoping that Kiyoshi made himself something just as wonderful.&nbsp; Eagerly dining on this meal, finishing every bit and bite before enjoying the refreshing spring water native to Pluto that accompanied it.<br><br>The senshi of time and the Underworld rose, thin silken sheets slid off her body and back into the bed as she moved into his embrace, warm arms enclosing her close to his familiar body making her feel safe.<br>“I suppose this is the least I can do to show my thanks.”<br>She lifted her hands to rest them against his hard chest, tilting her head up to look into his comely face.<br><br>“Was I gone so long?”<br>She knew that sometimes their duties separated them for long periods, months, and on some vital missions, even years.&nbsp; Luckily this hadn’t been one of those times but just a normal civilian day.

				She felt the warmth of his affection, the tenderness of his touches and felt content.&nbsp; She stood perhaps a bit stiffly, long-fingered hands traveling upwards on his chest to rest on his shoulders..&nbsp; Setsuna knew he was right – all too often something went amiss; an important job or undertaking that broke them apart and even sometimes while they were…<br><br>“Yes… and should you return to Earth tonight?&nbsp; I believe you have a class to teach?&nbsp; I can stay here in your stead….”&nbsp; It was true an Earth day was longer than a Pluto day and even as it was night on Pluto it was early afternoon in Japan.<br><br>She felt&nbsp; a warmth spread across her body, shyly meeting his eyes, aware of their bodies pressed close.<br>

				Kiyoshi frowned at Setsuna's question, mentally translating Plutonian days into Earth days.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Not tonight."&nbsp; &nbsp;He said finally, moving his fingers upward to massage her back.&nbsp; "I've got my T.A. covering for at least one more lecture."<br><br>He gave her a faint smile of reassurance.&nbsp; &nbsp;"That means we've got a whole day home alone."&nbsp; &nbsp;He was hopeful that they'd actually get the whole day to themselves.&nbsp; "Which, if memory serves, it has been a while since we've actually had one."

				Kiyoshi had recently taken to wearing Earth fashions as well, figuring that he needed to be both familiar and comfortable with them.&nbsp; &nbsp;He kept his eyes fixed on Setsuna, watching her every expression as he held her close.&nbsp; After a contemplative moment that seemed to be filled with a comfortable silence, he unbuttoned then slipped off his own shirt; his warm skin pressed against her soft bosum.<br><br>He lowered his head, nudging her head upward to press a kiss onto the nape of her neck.&nbsp; &nbsp;He began to nuzzle her neckline, going so far as to press a lingering kiss onto her full lips.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Setsuna, I...."&nbsp; &nbsp;He couldn't figure out what to say next as his eyes met hers once again.

				Warm hands glide back down his now bare chest traveling down the familiar dips and shapes of muscle, fingers caressing between the bilateral line before stilling them at her breast level, her lace-clad breasts pressed against the back of her hands.&nbsp; She tilted her head back, an electric pulse shivering down her body with each kiss pressed to her neck, skin flushing with warm blood.<br><br>Setsuna steadily opened her eyes when Kiyoshi spoke, dark eyes heavy and deep – his words sent a cold knot to slither into her belly, an awkward feeling of those unspoken words… if he&nbsp; spoke what she thought he may – could she honestly answer back?&nbsp; Or perhaps she was just being paranoid... but in either case&nbsp; maybe it was to distract, maybe it was to keep those words she most fear from leaving his lips she pressed her own lips to his naked chest.&nbsp; Full lips mouthing kisses across his pale skin, fingers crawling down his arms.<br>

				Kiyoshi tilted his head back as Setsuna pressed kisses in return onto his skin.&nbsp; He sighed softly, his fingers dancing up to her shoulders to strip away the lace from her breasts, to expose those well proportioned mounds to both the air and to his gentle caresses.&nbsp; He let his fingers dance along her breasts, fingers caressing and massaging those tenderly cared for delights.<br><br>He lowered his head, his eyes seeking hers.&nbsp; Their relationship was both simple and complex at the same time, for one could hardly spend millenia together without developing some quirks.&nbsp; He leaned her backward long enough to press a kiss onto each of her nipples before returning her to a standing position, abet in a loose embrace this time.

				Unlike many fashionable women on Earth Setsuna’s olive skin tone was natural and covered every inch of her body – no tan lines here.&nbsp; She pressed her face close to his chest, inhaling his natural scent that filled her mind with familiarity while his fingers stripped the last barrier from her chest the cool air prickling and hardening her nipples.&nbsp; Hot breath whispered across his skin when his warm hands cupped and caressed her bare breasts, flushing her skin and body with warmth.<br><br>The leaning dip elicited a small gasp, body arcing sharply the tips of her long dark hair puddling onto the ground , fingernails digging lightly into his arms.&nbsp; Her mind was slightly dazed when he pulled her back up, black green hair spilling across her shoulders.&nbsp; She took a casual step backwards, towards their bed, gently tugging him along with her but leaving it up to him if they should stay where they are or not.<br>

				Kiyoshi let Setsuna slip from his grasp but only so he could loosen the pants that he wore.&nbsp; &nbsp; He carelessly let them fall into a puddle at his feet, stepping out of them wearing nothing more now that a simple pair of boxers.&nbsp; &nbsp;He then stepped toward her, accepting her invitation to draw him into the bed.<br><br>He shook his head absently, his long silver hair splaying out behind him as he gently grasped her biceps and lowered her down onto the bed.&nbsp; He leaned forward to give her another kiss, this one lingering just a bit before he straightened back up.&nbsp; &nbsp;With care, he stripped off the last of their clothing: first hers then his, leaving them on the floor next to him.<br><br>He gazed down at her nude body, drawn into arousal by the familiar yet heady sight of her.&nbsp; &nbsp;His fingers reached out to caress her bare stomach, ever more so wanting her with each passing second.
