Part XV

"Queen Beryl, I didn't expect to hear from you quite so soon," the Dark Master comments.

"Oh? Should I be insulted?"

"Of course not, beautiful one! 'Tis simply a surprise. Now what can I do for you?"

"Ah, not what you can do for me, but what I can do for you," she says flirtatiously.

The Dark Master grins. "You've got my curiosity peaked, Beryl."

"I trust you remember the girl that my operative has been keeping his eye on?" Beryl asks sweetly.

"I believe so. Has he fallen for her?"

"I think so, and her for him from what another of my operatives tells me."

The Dark Master raises a brow. "You have how many operatives on this case?"

"A lady can't give away all her secrets now can she?"

"True. Now, why do you bring the girl up?"

"Ah yes. Well, I have determined that she is not the crystal carrier. She's starting school again on the day after tomorrow, you can get her then."

The Dark Master smiles. "You're so good to me, Queen Beryl. A request, though."

"Yes, my friend?"

"I do not want her remembering this love of hers. Is it at all possible to wipe her memory of him?"

"Of course it is, and if you wish, I will have one of my operatives do it."

"Have it done."

Diana gasps and sits up bolt strait at around five a.m. Sunday morning.

"Mmph...Diana...?"

Diana blinks a few times before she looks over at Jae as he yawns and blinks up at her.

"Diana?" he asks in a hushed voice, sitting up. "Are you ok?"

"Um," she runs a hand through her hair, eyes puzzled, "it was just a dream, I think anyway."

Jae raises a brow and pulls her close, lying back down, holding her, and asking, "What was the dream about?"

Diana yawns softly, cuddling close to Jae, "That's just it, I don't know. Something woke me up, but I don't know what. It's probably nothing."

"Ah," he kisses the crown of her head, "are you sure?"

She nods, resting a hand on his bare chest, shivering as he runs his fingertips over the soft skin on her shoulder.

"Ok," he whispers, tracing the graceful curves of her body, "do you want to go to sleep?"

Diana shivers and smiles, whispering back and tracing light patterns on his chest, "Mmm, only if you want to.."

Jae grins. "I don't really feel like it, I feel more like playing," he leans down and nibbles gently on her neck.

"Oh.." she moans, tilting her head back, "I think that's do-able."

He moves down and suckles gently at her chest, running his tongue over her nipples, forcing a soft moan out of her throat.

"Oh, Jae," Diana whispers, burying her hands in his hair, "you are so good at this."

Jae chuckles softly, moving his hands over her soft skin. "Having such an enchanting partner makes it all the more enjoyable."

Diana shivers, gently running her hands down his body too teasingly carress his manhood, causing him to jerk in surprise.

"Oh...you're not bad at this either," he groans softly.

"I do try," she answers with a grin, shifting slightly as he kisses his way further down her body, gently parting her legs and looking at her.

"Oh, gods Diana. The very sight of you excites me," he whispers, touching her delicate skin with his fingers. She gasps, arching her back at the light touch.

"So beautiful," he whispers, leaning in and kissing her down there.

"Oh gods Jae," Diana whispers, feeling warmth starting to spread through her lower body.

Jae's tongue slides out and over her skin, making her writhe with pleasure and lightly scratch her nails over his shoulders.

He moans, flicking his tongue in and out of her, tasting her.

She moves her hips, whispering in a breathless voice, "Y...you're...going to...make me loose all control."

Jae grins, pausing long enough to say, "Do you want to?"

"Oh...yes...but not to make a mess...of you," she gasps.

Jae leans up and kisses her, letting Diana send him spiraling into ecstasy even as he does the same with her.

Zoisite bows down before Queen Beryl.

"You summoned me, my Queen?"

"Yes. I have a mission for you, Zoisite."

"Your wish is my command, my Queen. What do you wish of me?"

"Tomorrow the human girl is going back to her school, and an associate of mine is going to take her away. He wishes for her not to remember her experiences with Jadeite and the rest of you.

Zoisite, tonight you are to go to Diana and wipe all memory of you all, starting from when you first attacked and ending when you leave. The girl is not to be harmed, understood?"

"Yes, my Queen. What of Jadeite?"

"I will deal with him accordingly. I will also tell you when to join the girl. Dismissed."

 Zoisite bows before disappearing.
