[Hello! J My name is R. Cybelle
Gil and this is my fan fiction on the Sailor Scouts and on the love life of
Serena and Darien. Just for some
background my story takes place two years after the series ends. Serena has just graduated from high school, amazingly,
and so have the others. Serena is
eighteen years old and my story spans from the moment she moves out till her
marriage to Darien at the age of twenty.
Sailor Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto make an appearance towards the
end of my story and I have a mix of N. American and Japanese names for the
characters. Just so you know and don't
get confused, the names I'll be using are: Serena=Usagi; Amy=Ami; Rei is Rei;
Minako=Mina; Makoto (Mako)=Lita; Hotaru; Haruka; Michiru; Setsuna. I kept all the outer Sailors with their
Japanese names because when I wrote this I had no idea what their American
names would be. Oh, by the way, there
are special appearances by Diamond, Sapphire, Prisma and Nephlite (hopefully
the Americans will know whom I'm talking about.) And I made up another character just for Mina. You'll see.
Oh! And since I don't really
know what the Eternal Moon Compact looks like, I stuck with the old moon
crystal brooch, but she still says "Eternal Moon Crystal Power!" Well enjoy my story and have fun! J]
Serena and Darien…
And the Scouts
A New Beginning
They had all finally all graduated
from high school. Even Serena had
somehow managed to pull through high school and make the grade. Ami made Valedictorian, and Rei made it in
the top twenty- percent. Lita, Mina,
and Serena all dragged behind, but at least they had passed!
But
now Serena stared at her room with silent sadness as memories passed through
her mind. She had been through so much
with her friends and her love. Now it
all seemed as if a new life was starting.
And it was. She was moving out
of her home. She had already spoken to
her mother and they had agreed that her family needed to save money for Sammy's
college fund and if Serena stayed they would only loose money. Serena smiled. Plus she needed to get out on her own. If she didn't, how was she supposed to become a good queen some
day? Serena held her purse close as she
stared into the bedroom she had lived in for the beginning of her life. How things had changed.
She
remembered starting junior high and becoming Sailor Moon for the first
time. She remembered the discovery of
who she really was and when she first met Luna. She remembered being the biggest wimp and the fight against the
Nega Verse, the Doom Tree family, and the Nega Moon. She grinned. She
remembered Reeny, Sailor Pluto and becoming Super Sailor Moon. She remembered Sailor Saturn, Sailor Uranus
and Sailor Neptune. She recalled
Galaxia and Chaos and Mistress 9. She
remembered training in the martial arts behind the scouts' backs and becoming
Eternal Sailor Moon. She remembered
when the new Sailor Starlights had gone out on their own. Only the originals stayed in this area. Serena smiled. After all, they had grown up together. And now they were grown up.
Serena
could remember the last terrible threat that had happened around four years
ago. Since then they had had no major
terrors to deal with. Serena remembered
when Artemis and Luna tried to erase their memories again. No
thank you. Whether they had any
real danger to deal with or not, they were not going to have their memories
erased again.
And
she was glad that they hadn't as the memories rushed through. Time to start a new life. Serena smiled as she closed the door to her
room and her childhood. I wonder what Luna will do once she finds
out I moved out?
* * *
Darien opened the door and stared
into beautiful blue eyes. He
smiled. "Hey, Meatball-head. What are you doing here? I'm about to head out for work."
Serena
smiled at the nickname. He had been
calling her that for as long as she could remember. "I came to ask you something."
Darien
smiled at the beautiful woman before him.
It was almost unreal at how long he'd been in love and dating
Serena. Since she was in junior
high. But he could never say that in
all the years they had been together that he hadn't had the time of his
life. He loved her like he loved no one
else in the universe. "What is it?"
Serena
lightly blushed and set her eyes on the floor.
"I was just wondering if you knew if there was anyone selling their
apartment here in this building."
Darien
blinked in confusion. "Why would you
want to know?"
"Because
I moved out the house and I'm looking for a new place to live."
He
shook his head in bafflement. "Why
would you move out?"
"Because
Mom needs to save money for Sammy to graduate and get into college. She said she's going to help me put the down
payment on an apartment, but I am to go out on my own and raise enough money to
go to college myself, if I want to go that is." Serena smiled at Darien's startled expression. "That's the basic explanation. But the basic thing is that I want to learn
how to be on my own for if I become Neo-Queen Serenity. But, of course, I couldn't tell Mom that."
Darien
just shook his head. Who would have
thought Serena would be this bold? But
maybe now… "I'm sorry, Serena. But no
one is selling their apartment in my building."
"Oh."
Darien
smiled at her answer. "But you could
always move in with me."
Serena's
head shot up from examining her toe.
"Really, Darien?" At his nod,
Serena squealed and jumped into his arms.
"This is wonderful! I'll unpack
while you're working!"
He
started and looked down at the beaming young woman in his arms. "You're already packed and everything is in
your car downstairs?" he asked incredulously.
Serena
nodded. "See, I was planning to get an
apartment today for sure. I mean, even
Luna doesn't even know that I moved out."
He
lifted an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Oh, well, she'll find out eventually.
I'll help you get your bags up, but then I have to get to work, all
right?" Serena nodded and released
him. Darien gave her kiss and they both
headed downstairs to get her bags.
After
Darien had left to work, Serena began her work. She unpacked everything in her bags and set them up neatly in his
closet and bathroom. She made sure not
to interfere with any of his things.
And after she was through with the unpacking, she began to clean up the
apartment.
Little
did Serena know that Luna was at the door of the apartment peering in
curiously. When she had returned home
and saw of Serena's things gone, Luna had gone into a panic. So she had gone to Darien's to see if he
knew were Serena had gone. She hadn't
needed to look further. Serena had moved in with Darien? Luna
thought curiously. She immediately felt
sorry for Darien until she saw Serena painstakingly put everything away in
order and then begin to clean. She had never seen Serena willingly begin to
clean her room let alone an entire apartment.
And now she was doing it so carefully, almost as if she was afraid to
break anything. The klutz trying not to break any thing? Luna almost burst out laughing.
But as she watched Serena cleaned the entire apartment without breaking
a thing, Luna began to wonder what was wrong with her. Because one thing is when Serena starts to
ice skate like the Moon Princess again, but it is another thing entirely when
she doing something completely against her nature.
When
Serena began to cook, then Luna thought it was all over. But she actually did quite well until she
added more salt. The top fell into the
stew along with a truckload of salt.
Serena tried to fix it, but only made it worse. Her eyes watered painfully and her lips pressed
together tightly as she tasted her destroyed concoction. Finally, she gave up and left the
apartment. Luna quickly hid. When Serena returned she carried an entire
tray of tiny bottles. She then reached
into the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink and poured some rat killer into the
stew. Luna began to panic. What
was Serena doing? In each one of
the little bottles she poured some of the foul concoction and when she was
through passed them around to her neighbors and said it was rat poison. They all accepted a bottle eagerly. Luna couldn't help but be amazed at how she
got rid of the dreaded stew.
Serena
then cleaned the kitchen and ordered take-out.
Luna watched her as she set the table romantically and set up the food
when it arrived. Serena put on some
romantic music and dimmed the lights and lit candles. Luna waited to see what she would do now. Serena did nothing but wait for Darien.
And
wait and wait and wait.
Serena
fell asleep on the couch waiting for him and the candles burned low.
When
Darien finally entered into his apartment, he bumped into Luna. Darien looked down and saw the disgruntled
cat. "Luna?"
Luna
rubbed her rear and looked up at him.
"Of course."
Darien
lifted an eyebrow. "How did you get in
here?"
"Serena
left the door open while she did your spring cleaning for you."
He
looked perplexed for a moment. Then he
blinked. "She cleaned?"
Luna
nodded and said, "And that's not the half of it, Darien," and she related the
entire day to him. She told him about
the adventure with the soup, and the caution she used when cleaning. She even told him about how Serena had
organized all her clothing and trinkets to his. Curious, Darien checked his closet and stared in amazement. All of Serena's clothes and shoes were neatly
placed across from his. He checked the
bathroom and saw of her things mingling with his as if they had always been
there. He stared in amazement at how
clean the place looked and then he spotted the dead candles, the cold food, the
music on repeat, and the sleeping woman on his couch. Darien stared at her in awe and in shock. It was amazing how Serena could have done
all this. She probably wore herself
out. But what confused him was
why. She had never acted this way
before. Why start now? But as Darien stared at the woman sleeping
on his couch and the beautifully set table, his heart filled with love at what
she had done for him. He had never seen
Serena work so hard on housework.
Darien
turned to Luna and asked, "Are you going to stay?"
Luna
blinked up at him, then thought. She
shook her head. "Not yet. I'll come back at the end of the week to
check on her, and I'll tell the other Sailor Starlights about this new
development. Serena has moved in with
you, Darien." Luna smiled. "And it looks like she made herself
perfectly at home." And with that the
black cat strode out of the apartment.
Darien
only shook his head and bent down to wake Serena. Serena's eyes fluttered open as Darien's lips brushed hers. She smiled and kissed him back
passionately. He quickly pulled away
knowing this wasn't a good position to be in to kiss passionately. He'll end up forgetting were he was and have
his way with her. And she probably
wouldn't mind a bit.
Darien
smiled down at her and she smiled back and yawned. Serena then lifted an eyebrow at him. "What took you so long?
The candles are completely out."
He
shrugged his shoulders. "I had a mess
of stuff I had to finish. And from the
looks of this place you had about as much of a tiring day as me."
Serena
nodded vigorously and sat up. She
stared at the cold food and the melted candles. She then looked up at him.
"Well, I guess I'll heat up the food while you supply new candles. All right?"
Darien grinned and nodded and got up to do just that. Serena heated the food and Darien set up the
candlelight moment as they enjoyed a romantic dinner talking about his day and
hers. Darien noted that Serena didn't
mention a word about the failed cooking experiment. He grinned.
After
dinner, they both picked up the table and Serena flopped down immediately on
the couch. Darien lifted an eyebrow and
asked, "What are you doing?"
She
arched and snuggled into the couch.
"Trying to get accustomed to my new bed."
Darien
was already shaking his head. "Oh, no,
you don't. You are not going to sleep
on the couch while I sleep on the bed.
It just isn't right."
Serena
sat up. "But it's your apartment. You get the bed. It's your bed."
He
nodded. "Yeah, my apartment. My rules.
You get the bed; I'll get the couch."
She
bolted up. "Oh, no, you don't,
Darien. I'm not going to sleep on that
huge bed while you sleep on this hard lumpy couch! I'd feel terrible and like I'm intruding. You'll get your bed and I'll get the couch."
Darien
shook his head. "No. Because of that
hard lumpy couch you'll get the bed and I'll get the couch. And that's final."
"No,
it's not!"
And
so began a huge argument, which only led, to Darien's torture, that they both sleep in the bed. Serena began to argue with that as well, but
he silenced her and she conceded. They
would sleep together. In the same big
bed.
Darien
had no idea how he'd live through the night.
Serena
was used to sleeping in a bed alone, so after she had been asleep for a few
minutes she had immediately snuggled up to his heat making him groan with the
suffering he was just beginning to go through.
It was going to be a very, very long night.
Darien
awoke to the sensual movement of a thigh moving over his hips. His eyes shot open and Serena was practically
sprawled on top of him, her leg over his thighs and hips, her breasts tightly
pressed against his side and chest, her nightgown up around her hips, her hand
on his chest and her face in his neck.
Darien closed his eyes against the exquisite agony and took in a deep
ragged breath. He didn't know for how
long he could keep this up without taking her.
He tried to get his mind off such thoughts, but that was as useless as
trying not to breathe.
He
finally got some sleep, but he didn't wake up that morning the least bit
refreshed. Maybe having Serena move in
hadn't been such a good idea.
* * *
Serena
emerged from the bathroom at about the same time Darien walked into the
bedroom. He had come home from work for
lunch and had seen Serena nowhere. Assuming
she was still sleeping, for she had been when he had left, he had unbuttoned
his shirt completely. But when he had
entered the bedroom he did not face a sleeping woman.
He
found a woman in only a towel with a mountain on her head.
Darien
and Serena just stared at each other for long moments, their eyes hungrily
devouring each other. He finally
approached her, but she stayed still and unmoving. Her heart pounded furiously in her chest as he came closer and
Serena could feel the blood rushing through her veins. Darien slowly began to undo the mountain of
towels she had plied on top of her head.
A cascade of brilliant blond hair flowed downward and spread out about a
foot on the floor. He just stared in
awe. Her knees grew weak. What
would happen now?
Darien
could not resist. His hands itched with
the need to touch the beautiful mass of glorious hair. His hands raised and framed the side of her
face and his fingers delved into the lustrous mass, groaning with
pleasure. Serena sucked in breath and
she closed her eyes against the feel of his hands moving through her free hair
and massaging her scalp. Her hands were
gripped tightly to the edges of the towel that held it together over her body,
and her mind's eye burned with the image of his naked chest and the glow of his
eyes.
He
pulled her to him with his hands still buried in her splendid hair and took her
mouth. She opened her lips to his
demanding tongue and melted against him.
Her hands released the towel and fell silently to the floor as she
wrapped her arms around him and pressed close.
Feeling breasts pressing against his bare chest, Darien drew a deep gasp
and devoured her mouth, drinking all of her.
God! How he wanted her. He
pressed her more tightly against him and Serena instantly reacted, rubbing
herself against him. Darien groaned
from deep within himself and it took all of his strength to pull away. But when his eyes gazed into her dazed ones
and he stared at the beautiful woman before him, he was lost.
"Serena."
He
took her in his arms and carried her to the bed, where he quickly divested
himself of his clothing. He stared at
her beautifully glazed eyes as she gazed at him the way he had her when she had
been revealed to him. Her big gorgeous
eyes fastened once again on his and she smiled. That was all he needed.
Darien moved over Serena and made sweet, hot love to her. He devoured all of her with all the love in
his heart. She chanted his name like a
prayer, urging him on with her movements, pleas, and touches. She drove him insane. Her hair billowed about her like a golden
glow and Darien fell over the cliff of oblivion. They took each other; driving over to the brink and shattering like
a million crystals. She didn't even
feel the pain; she was overwhelmed with pleasure. Serena screamed his name to the spirits who watched as he arched
and shouted her name to the heavens.
They were finally one.
* * *
Serena
was making circles on his chest with her fingernail; her hair cascading over
them both as Darien finished telling his boss he would not be back for the rest
of the day. She smiled contendedly at
him as he placed the phone back. A part
of him couldn't believe what he had dreamed about had finally happened, and
another part of him was urging him to take her again. But he knew she was probably still tender from the last frenzied
mating.
After
the first sweet bliss, he had made love to the woman of his dreams twice more.
But
Serena didn't look the least bit phased.
He wondered if she had known this was going to happen, just as he did
when they agreed to sleep in the same bed.
From the mischievous look in her eye, he could assume that she had. Darien smiled up at her.
"What
are you thinking?"
Serena
loved the sound of his voice. It had
grown huskier with their lovemaking and she only loved it more. She smiled lovingly down at him and wondered
again in amazement at how it had happened.
She had been in torture the night before, sleeping with him and not
being able to touch him. Now she could
touch him all she pleased. She
grinned. Since she moved into his
apartment she had been wondering how long it would take them to get to this
point. After all they had been waiting
for almost five years. It had only
taken a day and a half. Serena grinned
wider.
"I
was just remembering how I had wondered how long it would take us to get this
far after I moved in." Serena smiled
playfully at him as she brushed a stray lock of hair away from his forehead. "It took a day and a half. Which I think was a little too much
considering we've been waiting for almost five years."
Darien
grinned in return and ran a hand through her hair, pulling her down for a long
lingering kiss. "You're right," he said
against her glazed, swollen lips. "We
waited to long. I should have taken you
the night of your prom."
Serena
let out a throaty laugh and kissed his neck.
"Yes, maybe you should have."
But
as their playfulness began to increase in intensity… Darien's doorbell rang.
Both
turned to intruding noise and were about to ignore it when they heard a bellow.
"Serena! We know you're in there! Open up!"
It
was Rei. And the 'we' was probably the
other Sailor Starlights. Serena and
Darien glanced at each other for a moment and scrambled out of bed. Darien quickly dressed himself and then
helped Serena get dressed as she began to fix her hair. He had to help her with that as well as Rei
and Lita pounded on the door.
Serena
called from the bedroom; "I'll be right there!
I just got out of the shower!"
But
that did not cease the insistent pounding.
By the time Serena finished with her hair, it sounded as if they were
breaking down the door. She rolled her
eyes. The neighbors would be
complaining forever.
Serena
swung open the door, as Rei was about to jam it with her shoulder. Rei fell on her startled friend and they
both hit the floor with a painful thud.
Rei just stared down at the friend she had fallen on. "Serena!
You broke my fall perfectly!"
Serena
growled and shoved Rei off. The other
three friends were howling with laughter.
Rei stood up and helped Serena get up off the floor as well. Once Serena had recovered her composure, she
gazed at her friends and asked, "How did you guys find out I was here?"
Lita
grinned. "Luna told us when we went by
your place. I still can't believe you
actually moved in with Darien!"
Ami
and Mina nodded with their astonishment.
Serena just smiled. But Darien
couldn't let that one pass. "What's so
hard to believe about it?"
All
the Sailor Starlights turned to the man stepping out of the kitchen. They all blinked in surprise. Mina turned to Serena. "Hey, Serena. I thought you were alone here."
Ami
nodded. "Yeah. Darien, why aren't you working?"
Darien
grinned. "I took the rest of the day
off."
Rei
lifted an eyebrow and turned to Serena.
The blonde's face was flushed and her lips swollen. Realization dawned on Rei. She grinned wickedly. The rest of the Sailors had drifted into the
kitchen to see and smell what it was Darien was cooking. Lita eagerly began to assist. When Rei and Serena were alone, she began to
ply Serena with questions.
"What
were you really doing before we
came?"
Serena
only blushed. She said nothing and
began to march toward the kitchen. Rei
grabbed her arm and grinned. "Were you
and Darien going at it?"
Serena
refused to answer. Rei squealed. "You were, weren't you? You and Darien were both in that bed before
we rudely interrupted!"
Three
heads appeared out the doorway of the kitchen.
Darien could be heard groaning from the kitchen. Lita, Mina and Ami had questions on their
face. "Did we here what we thought we
heard?" Lita asked curiously.
Mina
grinned and turned to the tall brunette.
"Can't you see Serena's face and hear Darien groaning? They finally got around to it."
Ami
giggled and winked at Serena. "I'll
have you know that these three had placed bets on when you and Darien would
finally go through with it."
Rei
lifted an eyebrow at Ami as the Lita and Mina stared at her in annoyance. "You're only accusing us because you know
you won!" Rei said in annoyance.
Ami nodded and
gave a crooked smile. "Yes, and don't
you be a sourpuss, Rei. You owe me
twenty dollars, Lita owes me fifteen, and Mina owes me ten."
Serena looked
horrified. "You all placed bets on when
Darien and me would finally make love?" she asked incredulously. The other four Sailors grinned and
nodded. Darien burst out laughing from
the kitchen. Serena just shook her head
in amazement. "I wonder how long this
has been going on?"
"Since you
turned eighteen," they all said in unison.
"I betted that
you and Darien would do the deed on your anniversary," Rei stated.
"I betted that
you both would do it on your birthday," Mina said with a shrug.
"I betted that
you and Darien would do it on prom night," Lita said with a grin.
"I said the day
you moved in with Darien would be the day it would happen," Ami said and then
winked at Serena. "I was only off by
half a day."
By the time they
were through Serena had turned so many different shades of red, she could feel
her face burning. All those days, she
and Darien had come so close to the climax they had finally reached. And by the look he was throwing at her from
the kitchen doorway, she could see that he had noticed that too. He grinned.
Serena couldn't help it. She
grinned back.
Lita saw where
this was headed. "Oh, no, you
don't." She turned to Darien and
hustled him back inside the kitchen.
"You are going to finish that delicious lunch you're making, while Ami,
Mina, Rei and I squeeze all the details out of your girlfriend."
Serena squealed
and shook her head, her face growing warm again. But Rei had no mercy. She
grinned evilly at Serena. "You will
tell us every little detail even if we have to wring it out of you." Lita, Mina and Ami nodded.
Serena gulped. "Darien!"
