A happy and clean Serenity was walking down the palace halls toward her garden. As soon as she had left the gardens a couple of hours ago she had headed straight for the showers to get the cookie dough mess off of her. It had taken two whole hours before she finally rid her hair of the sticky substance and about another hour before it came off of her skin.

"Today has been one hectic day!" Serenity said to herself as she brushed a hand through her long blonde hair unconsciously. She had decided to leave it flowing loosely instead of putting it up in her regular hairstyle.

Having reached the grand doors to her garden she pushed the door open. Any regular human that would look upon these doors would think that only a large animal such as an elephant could open them. They stood fifty-feet tall and were made out of cherry wood. It had a magnificent design upon it that resembled a tree being wrapped up in vines. The vines were twisting and turning up throughout the tree until they reached the top. Then the vines twisted around each other before separating and form a small platform. Above the platform was the royal family insignia, and upside down crescent mark. The handles of the door were made of gold with silver like vines twisting around them and running down to the floor.

Serenity sighed happily at taking in the breath taking sight. Walking out onto the plat form she looked down upon the utopia garden and habitat model. The model represented the original utopia she had long been working on since she was young. The whole area was divided into the four seasons that the earth went through. Spring, summer, fall, and winter were arranged in chronological order. Each season had flowers and animal that needed the environment to survive.

"Well, Hello Serenity!" a friendly voice called from ahead of her.

Serenity's head snapped up in surprise from being snapped out of her slight daze, "Ah, Motoki how are you?"

"I'm doing fine. How about yourself? It looked like you got yourself in quite the mess earlier today?" Motoki said with laughter lining his words.

Serenity's face turned red slightly at remembering the events from earlier that day. This only made Motoki curious.

"Did something happen between you and the visitor Ren?" Motoki asked as he called her by her nickname he had given her when they were young.

Serenity's went from that of a blush to that of a fish, "NO MO!"

Motoki let his laughter take over him as he clutched to his stomach. The face she was making right then was adorable. Truly she looked like one of those fish that the humans caught in the sea . . . . a catfish was it? Motoki couldn't remember but nonetheless the look was priceless, "If only I had a camera right now Ren!"

Serenity's face turned stern with embarrassment as she waved off her childhood friend, "Mo how are my babies?" she said while changing the subject.

Motoki shook his head slightly, "Ren I still don't see how you can spoil those two felines like you do! You treat them better then you do me!"

"That's because they don't mock me or call me Meatball head. Plus they smell better then you most of the time!" Serenity said playfully.

"That hurt Ren!" Motoki said as he placed a hand to his heart in false hurt.

Serenity merely rolled her eyes at him before heading off into her garden, "I'm going for a walk Mo! Take care of my babies and please see to it that no one intrudes upon me."

"Sure thing Ren!" Motoki said as he went back to his work.

"Where have you been Sesshomaru?" InuTaisho questioned his eldest with a curious look.

"I figured getting out of this room would help me come up with a new plan of action against our enemies." Sesshomaru lied as he walked over to his father's desk to look at the map lying atop it.

"That's not what your brother, Inuyasha, had to say after I found him walking to his room covered in what he called cookie dough." InuTaisho said with a glint of laughter in his eyes. He knew exactly what had happened because Inuyasha had spilled out all the information he knew.

Sesshomaru cursed himself for forgetting about sending Inuyasha to his room, which happened to be located next to his fathers room, "I also had a run in with the princess and Inuyasha. He was making a mess so I sent him to his room to clean up before he caused anymore trouble!"

"Uh huh!" InuTaisho said as he directed his attention back to the war plans but not before hiding away a mischievous smirk. Having not looked up from the map since he entered the room, Sesshomaru didn't notice his fathers smirk.

Serenity was walking through the spring area of her garden utopia and was enjoying every minute of it. Long ago she had abandoned her shoes so that her feet could sink into the warm grass and dirt. Currently she was walking down a path all too familiar to her. It was the path of the Cherry Blossom trees. She had always loved this particular type of tree since she saw a picture of it in one of her geography books. As soon as she had studied up about the trees and their environment she had them shipped over to the moon and placed into her garden immediately. Since the weather never changed in this area, the Cherry Blossom trees were always in bloom. No matter how many times she walked this path it never seemed to grow old to her. The majestic sight of the tall and sturdy trees with their gorgeous light pink blossoms astounded her. Taking in a long deep breath, Serenity let her senses relax under the smell of the trees. The sweet smell was intoxicating, so intoxicating that she wished she never had to leave.

As she continued walking she soon exited the path of the Cherry tress and entered upon Weeping Willow Lake. This lake was a small lake was covered in mist that gave it a mysterious appeal. Surrounding most of the lake was the very trees the lake was named after, Weeping Willows. Serenity closed her eyes and listened to natures beautiful symphony. The crickets were chirping away, the frogs croaking, the bugs buzzing, the birds chirping, and the sound of droplets of dew hitting the lakes surface.

Serenity continued walking until she had reached her destination, the maze. Pushing open the iron gates she walked into tunnel that would take her to the mouth of the maze. The tunnel was made up of a wisteria arbor and it stretched for a long distance before reaching the opening of the maze. Stepping into the mouth of the maze she was met with a wall. The wall had a gentle stream of water that opened into a circle of floating duckweed. The duck weeded water was inside a miniature pool like area that was tucked into a shady niche. Serenity automatically turned toward the left as she began to make her way through the maze. The maze was made up of a hybrid bush of moon rose lilies and Wisteria azalea mercurian flower. The Moon Rose Lily looks exactly like a pink rose except it has white, moonlike beams, running down the center of the petals in streaks. The Petals also have the shape of a trillium. The Wisteria Azalea Mercurian has a pale blue coloring to it. It takes the shape of an earthian Wisteria with the scent and size that of the Azalea. As she walked through the path she came upon several pots with flowers in them. Most of the pots were posted in the corners of the maze. Kong Coleus' giants leaved vases were of the most common. Soon Serenity found herself at the center of the maze. There in the center was a small pond with some Japanese irises on the banks edge. Water was being circulated through the pond is a small water falls made of rocks that climb higher and higher and disappear into the bushes of the maze. On either side of the small waterfall are Hostas and Japanese iri's succeeded in the moist clay behind the giant moss covered rocks. Located in the drier areas above the falls is astilbe and Japanese maples. Serenity found herself lost to the world at this point but found herself having to move on as she heard Motoki hollering for her to return. Taking one last look at the beautiful sight before her, Serenity turned and ran back toward the opening of her garden.

"You mother wants you!" was the simple excuse Motoki provided as he watched her try to catch her breath.

"Wonder why she called me during my relaxation period of the day!" Serenity pondered as she waved goodbye to Andrew before heading off to her mother's throne room.

"Damn that Motoki!" a shadow cursed from his spot in the corner of the maze. 'Only a few more feet and I would have had her in my grasps!' The shadow thought as he cursed his reluctance to take her at first.

"Next time Serenity . . . you wont be so lucky!" the man said as he made his way toward the end of the maze.

"Mina, how you drag us into your messes I have no idea!" Lita said as she brushed the last remaining twig out of her hair.

"Messes? Since when was love a mess?" Mina asked innocently as she finished putting her hair back.

"Since it's started interfering with my studies!" Amy said as she read her book. Since Amy's hair was so short, she was able to finish cleaning up before the other two.

"Amy you study to much anyway! You need to lighten up or else this other guy you've been hiding from us will grow bored!" Mina said as she grabbed Amy's book and threw it in the garbage.

Amy's face grew slightly red, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Mina rolled her eyes and stuck a mental note in her brain to find out more about Amy's secret man after hooking Serenity up with that demon Lord.
