Her Love Is Drowning Me
Chapter 1
Rated PG 13
" This Is a Sailor moon fic, more along the lines of a Yuri fic. If ya don't like those kinds, then I apoligize and turn back now before it's too late. Other wise, keep scrolling and enjoy the action. D For those of you who don't know me, I'm known ask Sakeri. Nice to meet you! How are ya? On with the show ladies and germs! .
" You know you just insulted all male kind, " Raye mutters to the Author blinking curiously at her annoyed expression.
" Uh..Well..Ahem..I mean..Ladies and..Er..partially part Gentlemen crowd. ", The author corrects herself, glaring daggers at Sailor Mars.
The other girl only smirked, and dragged Sakeri off before she made herself look more worse than she already had.
Sarena tossed and turned in her bed, knocking Luna off the end of her bed on accident. Which really didn't make the cat too happy about being knocked off, especially in the middle of the night. Scowling, the petite, black feline got on all fours and pounced back onto the princess sized bed. Looking over at the leader of The Sailor Scouts.
Sarena's shivering form knocked the anger out of the cat and concern settled in the pit of her stomach.
Beads of sweat ran down the sides of her face. Her golden blonde hair spread out underneath her. Luna watched as the droplets of sweat met under her chin. Gaining great concern for the girl that she was ordered to watch over and protect. It pained her deeply to not have powers to stop Sarena's nightmares. It was the 4th day for this to happen.
Sarena, tossing and twisting around in her sheets, with Luna helplessly watching her. At first, she had just assumed it was some silly thing that humans dream about, once in awhile. Until, tonight, when the nightmares persisted. Neither had told anyone about the problem, because Sarena thought it was inappropriate to worry the others over something so small. Having had the cat promise to keep her mouth sealed about it.
Now, Luna didn't find it to be such a clever idea. Picking up the communicator that she had given Sarena in Junior High. She silently crept off the bed and raced to the bathroom urgently. She yanked at it with her fangs until she finally got it to prop open. Pressing a few digitalized buttons, she waited, and before long, Raye's face appeared on the screen.
Yawning and rubbing her eyes in dismay, Raye grumbled softly, " Luna? Is that you..? ", She mumbled sleepily into her end of the communicator.
" I'm sorry for the rude wake up call so suddenly, but Sarena is in danger! ", Luna growled out in response.
" Hold up a second..Did you say Usagi was in trouble? What's going on Luna? ", She hissed back, pulling cloths from her nearby cloths drawers.
" It's..Sarena's nightmares..They've been going on for the past 4 days now. I'm concerned for her, because you know that something like that has happened to Rini before, and it was not good. Raye, I beg you, please, come check on her and see for yourself what I'm talking about. If this problem isn't solved, I'm afraid she'll allow herself to be pulled into her dreams completely and there is no way of coming back out unless there's a person with higher magic around to pull her out- ", She continued.
Raye took a deep breath before calmly resting Luna's worries aside for the time being, " Luna, I'll be over in a few minutes and take a look for myself. It's not that I don't believe you..it's just that she's been acting real distant towards us for the past couple of days, and I think those dreams are the reason why. ", She replied.
Luna only shook her head in shame, " She promised me not to tell you about it. I'll get her windows open, so hurry over, Raye! ", She snarled out quickly before snapping the communicator closed.
Lifting the rather tough to hold, object between her jaws, she took off to her Princess's room. Dodging the small table in the hallway. She stopped short once she reached the doorway. Taking hesitant steps in, before tossing the communicator onto the bed. Staring worriedly at the Queen's successor, she leaped onto the windowsill. Pawing, and clawing at the locks on the windows.
With a great sigh of relief, she managed to thrust the locks to the right. Releasing its hold on the windows. They flew open, the cold breeze outside swaying the hinges.
Raye fumbled around for cloths, deciding that she'd just go with her plain jeans and a dark red turtleneck. She had to sneak past her grandfather's room to get to the front passage way to the door. Settling her feet into her old pair of sandals, she tiptoed out of the house and into the night.
Her destination: Usagi-chan's house.
She was determined to get the truth from her close friend once and for all. Why she had been so distant, why Sarena would always flinch and blush when their hands would brush slightly when they both reached for something at the same time.
Raye couldn't describe exactly how she felt for Sarena. Hell, she didn't even know that it was possible to like someone like that again after what happened from before. Her biggest mistake was what happened that day..7 Months ago with.. ' Her. '
Her heels clicked on the cement harshly. Her breath rigid from running so hard, to get to, Sarena, in time. She hadn't realized it until now that tears were forming in her eyes. Not from just the wind blowing into her face, but from the thought of her Usagi being hurt and refusing to share her pain with the girls.
Pushing back the tears, she continued to run. As if her life depended on it.
Just like that, she found herself climbing up the tree that led up to Sarena's bedroom window. The breeze blew the curtains into her face, forcing her to have to push it away and struggle to get through the window frame.
Her sandals lightly brushed against the carpet as she pulled herself into the room fully. Her honey brown eyes scanned the room rather quickly. Luna rubbed up against her ankle, startling the daylights out of her. She merely meowed and looked up at the young women. Expecting her to run straight to Sarena's bedside.
Nodding to the cat at her feet, Raye took hesitant steps forward. Feeling her way to Sarena. She found her form tossing, which was halted soon afterwards as Raye grasped her shoulders and shook her awake.
Sarena sat up as she felt herself being shook, gasping in surprise.
Looking up at the brunette, she threw herself into the other girl's arms. Her ragged sobs upsetting her nerves. Sarena's body trembled violently, more so now as her best friend wrapped her arms around her petite frame. Only the stroking of her hair and the gentle words of her partner whispering in her ear calmed her enough so that she could start forming words from her own mouth.
Raye lifted Usagi's chin, their eyes locking instantly.
Usagi knew then, she couldn't lie to her. Especially when her eyes were upon her so intensely.
" Raye..I'm so sorry. I never wanted to invol- ", Sarena started, but was silenced by a tender finger pressing to her plump lips.
" Sarena. You know the others and I are here for you. We would do anything for you, no matter how big or small the problem is. You have to let us know what's going on or we won't be able to help while your suffering. I'm just disappointed that you hadn't come to me from the very beginning. ", Raye uttered gently enough not to upset the blonde.
Usagi knew she'd have the other girls on her ass about this one.
Especially when Raye informs them of it.
Sniffing lightly, she lowered her head, only to be forced to stare into the eyes of the one person she thought she'd never have feelings for. Baby blue eyes studied those of the wise honey brown.
They froze in their positions.
Eyes locked onto one another, and bodies so close that they could of sworn they could feel each other's body heat radiating off them.
Raye reached up, her fingertips moving slowly down her companion's cheekbone.
Sarena only shivered in response. On reflex, she leaned into her touch. She was so used to Darien touching her like that, her mind immediately focused on the feel of the person across from her. Hope reflected in the brunette's eyes, raising question in Sarena's eyes as she caught on to it.
The 17 year old blonde gasped, embaressment shown on her face. She took note that she was revealing that she had liked a girl touching her like that. Which wasn't exactly true, but at the same time it was, because she was allowing Raye to continue.
Abruptly, the slightly older women stood. Sighing sadly, she shook her head and looked down at Sarena, " Sarena..I hate to end this so suddenly, but I have to go. If I'm not back in bed before Grandpa gets up, than I'll be in trouble. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more, but we'll finnish talking about this Nightmare stuff tommorow. Meet me at our usual place, " She gritted out through her haze of hiding her fear of going any further.
Usagi jumped up, grabbing her wrist before she could head toward her window. Turning her around completely, she questioned her back, " Raye. What's wrong with you? You don't usually just get up and leave like this. ", she spoke gingerly.
She knew she had to be careful, because it seemed she was walking on sacred grounds.
Raye stared back at her innocent eyes.
Knowing that if she had said a word about what she was hiding deep inside.
There would be hell to pay.
" Sarena. You can wait until tommorow. ", She whispered tenderly, smiling alittle as her friend pouted and pursed her lips.
Leaning forward, she planted a quick kiss to her forward.
Leaving her Princess to stare at her in bewilderment.
Jumping down from the tree as she climbed down to the lowest branch. Her feet aching as she took her start home. Her body miserably whining for a break.
Luna watched Sarena's expression after Raye had left.
She too, had been surprised at what happened, but she decided that it was not her buissness to be butting into anything. So she left it alone. Watching Sarena stare out into the distance, her crystal blue eyes shining, hand to her forehead where she had been left with a kiss.
" That's the end of Chapter 1. Hopefully I can scrounge up some ideas for Chapter 2. It's not much now, but it'll get better soon, I promise. Not all pieces have good beginnings. Enough of that, BRING ON THE PIXIE STICKS, " She screams, leaping at the box of Pixie sticks.
Artemis stares, watching the Author once again fill herself up on sugar, sighs heavily and shakes his head, " Guess that means we'll all be kept awake until 10 in the morning. ", He grunts before hiding under a pillow.
