Ok. I got the idea for this story a LONG time ago. I got this idea right after I wrote the 1st chap of The Wish, and I starting writing this, but I stopped, involved too much in my other stories. Tonight, though, I remembered this story. I didn't even had a name for it. I have the first 3 chapters, but all the plot is in my mind. I will write as fast as I can, but don't expect an update too often.
WARNINGS!! PLEASE READ: As you may imagine, in this story there are NO sailor senchi! The Kou brothers are THAT, BROTHERS, as in MALES, not bi-sexual! This is a Darien/Serena story and PLEASE, prepare some tissues, it might make you cry. There might be a CP (corporal punishment) scene of a minor, though I'm not sure yet…
Also, this idea came from a TV show called Close to Home, but it is NOT something like that, I just got some ideas from it…well, at least how to start.
Well, stay tuned and please tell me what you think of it. Oh! And for you reading my other stories, no, I have not forgotten any of them.

Hate or Love?
Prologue
A 29 year old blond walked through her house's hall. Carrying a year old baby girl, while singing low lullabies.
She smiled, thinking of her life. She smiled happily feeling all the warmth.
Serena Kou one of the most successful fiscals. She investigated from kidnappings to murders, from old nice ladies, to rebellious teenagers, to nice small innocent children disappearances.
Her career was just starting, was going up the hill. Her boss was tough, but at the same time kind. He seemed to understand the young woman. After all, her life didn't go just around work.
After being a tough fiscal during day, she changed to be a sweet wife and mother.
Both of her daughters had the most peculiar characteristic, pink hair.
Well, it looked 'pink', but it was really a blond-red combination on her eldest daughter, and a mix of red, blond and black on her youngest. What make it more 'unique' was their always present hair style.
This peculiar and unique hair style came from way before she was born. While being a teenage, Serena had had long, long hair. to avoid contact with the floor, she had come with this particular style. Piggy-tales, with a little twist on the top, which looked like two balls. Actually, her 4 year-old looked like two bunny ears. Her 1 year old looked like small hearts, and part of her hair was loose, making small curls at the end.
She was married to a well known 30 year old engineer, Seiya Kou. He was successful, young, healthy, sweet, kind, good father, good husband, good looking, and had one of the best building companies at his young age. His brothers worked there, the three of them. Taiki, the oldest, worked with him on the projects, while Yaten worked managing the finances. His family was currently from Japan, but had moved to the USA when they were teens.
It was no wonder why she always had a brilliant smile every morning, no matter what happened. She had all she had ever dreamed of, two lovely and sweet daughters, and a loving husband, whom she loved as she had never done before.
OoO
A black haired man entered his home at 3am in the morning. Loosening his tie, he threw himself on his expensive leather couch. He sighed heavily. He had to be at the office before 8, and he had just left. He chuckled at this thought.
His ex-wife had once suggested to get a bed at his office, or simply, make his office his home. The chuckle and smile were gone now, replaced by a frown. For some part he was glad they had gotten divorced, for other reason, it made him sad.
He turned his face and looked at a picture of a 7 year old boy, an exact replica of him. Same midnight blue eyes, black hair, light tanned skin, with a quite notorious difference, a smile, a huge smile, something he couldn't do.
At the age of 33, Darien Shields was one of the most successful lawyers there had ever been. From every 5 cases, he won 4, even if the person was guilty. He spent most of his time at his office, choosing carefully which case he would work on. He liked challenges; he was a man of challenges, though it seemed he had lost the biggest challenge of his life, his family.
In the last 6 months, he had only seen his son, Alexander Shields, about 3 or 4 times, and always used the same lame excuse, "I can't deny my work."
He had missed his son's 7th birthday, and had tried to repair his mistake by buying him an expensive train track. But, his expensive train track had not replaced his empty place in all the pictures he later got, in the mail. Even his best friend and wife had been there that day.
As Andrew, his best friend, had told him, Alexander was growing without a father. Mina, Andrew's wife had been furious with him, and had given him the 'ice treatment' for about a month.
But, he couldn't do anything. He couldn't just deny work, even if it meant denying his own son.
He sighed, once again, making a mental note to call Alex the next day.
