((Hello everyone. I first would like to thank and praise Lady Yami Bakura on her fics about Yami Bakura! Yami Bakura....if only he were real! RIGHT?! *DROOL* Not only are they the best ones I've read but they gave me further inspiration to go ahead and write this after I paused in the beginning of it's creation. The song is "Wherever You Will Go" by: The Calling. I don't have copy rights to any of the following....The Calling, any of their music Sailor Moon and everything Sailor Moon related! SO DON'T SUE! I think the song expresses Darien's feelings for Serena.. and his concerns. I love you guys, thank your for reading. Please review.))
((Please excuse my bitter sarcastic humor about Tuxedo Mask in the opening paragraph. altho it's supposed to be a drama/romance. I felt a certain annoyance had to be addressed.))

It was a full week now since they had heard or seen a sign of the new enemy. However for the past month they've been given reason to worry a great deal about this silence. The girls had never seen a man with such icy eyes...they penetrated the very soul. Lucren, the creature had said... was his name. From the moment the formalities of introductions were over, complete with Tuxedo Mask throwing a rose....(Which did not make Lucren jump back/look surprised or angry/or cause injury in any way shape or form. Which in turn threw Tuxedo Mask off his game briefly)..they knew nothing but chaos. Most of the city was in ruins. The Outter Scouts were nowhere in sight, and presumed dead. Before Lucren's silence he had promised Earth...and Sailor Moon would be his. Everyone was an emotional wreck, even the Scouts.
Serena seemed to have been hit the hardest. She had been having dreams lately of Lucren's eyes and black oceans. Her usual up-beat atittude had changed, now weary from prolonged battles. On the plus side, which she didn't care about right now, she didn't have to go to school. Most of the schools were destroyed in attempt to kill the scouts. Altho it was a failed attempt by Lucren, it still added to Serena's mourning. She was grateful that Darien was spending even more time with her lately. Just holding her, and telling her everything would be alright. He said that he would always be there for her till the end of time.
At the park, which seemed to escape Lucren entirely, Darien sat near the roses. He sighed and watched the sun begin to drop behind the rose bushes. He remembered the close encounters he had with the enemy. Lucren, like many other past enemies, expressed his hatred towards him from the begining. The sun was now at the perfect place that created vibrant oranges and pinks across the horizon. It drew Darien in giving him hope. Such bright colors meant life and love. He took out a rose from within his jacket, and suddenly the rose bushes in front of him were consumed by flames. Darien got up from the bench and moved back just in time to avoid a lick of flame that almost touched his pant legs. The bushes fell to ashes as tho they were merely paper flowers. Darien stared down at the ash piles in a state of disbelief and shock. He dropped the rose he was holding onto the nearest pile of ashes and closed his eyes. *I'm sorry Serena* he thought as his soul became weighed down with sadness. "I will comfort you...as long as I can.." With this final thought he left to park to go to Serena.

So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
