Hey everyone Chapter two up. Yay. I know it's a little short. I rushed through it a tad trying to get it finished, you need not worry though I promise a longer more action packed third chapter. Well, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy.

His princess was actually scaring him . . .

Not to say, that he was afraid of her. Darien was simply afraid for her, and for that matter, Raye as well. He found it funny actually that Raye could fight these sketchy Negaverse creatures all day long without breaking a sweat, but fighting Serena for a couple of minutes seemed to just wipe her out.

This really was not a funny situation at all, but Tux couldn't help it and started chuckling to himself. All of the scouts turned to look at him peculiarly; Serena included.

"What in the world could you find funny at a time like this?" Serena asked exasperated.

This made him laugh even harder and he had to let go of her to clutch at his sides. This was making his stomach hurt. Serena momentarily forgetting her already in progress fight with Raye directed her anger at Darien now.

Darien could see that his love was shooting him death glares now, and as much as that made him want to laugh more it instantly sobered him up. Helping her up, he pulled her a few feet away from everyone else. Now he would get some answers.

"Serena dear, I know what Raye did was not very nice, and that she probably deserved a whack or two, but why did you have to keep going? I know you're not the freak out violent type... so what's up?"

He was eyeing her worriedly, and she would have felt bad, if not for the tone of a parent scolding his daughter. When would he treat her as his equal and not as a child?

"Seriously," Serena questioned throwing her arms up in the air in defeat.

"Why do you have to be like that Darien? Why are you always taking everyone else's side but mine?"

"Serena if I hadn't stepped in just now you would've beaten the crap out of the poor girl."

"You're point is? She deserved it. She overruled my authority, and it's not the first time either. I'm sick of her shit! If she doesn't like the way I run things then she should quit! We don't need her. I certainly don't."

Now Darien was the one throwing his hands up in the air.

"You know that's not true. You guys need each other. You're friends remember that."

She folded her arms across her chest rather petulantly, (although she didn't care,) "Yeah some friend…"

"The five of you need each other and you know it. You guys are like a machine. If one part breaks the frigging thing doesn't work. If she left it would not be the same. You all would be weakened."

"Whatever Darien, I'm sick of your crap too."

His eyebrows rose high at her rude tone of voice.

"And what exactly did I do?" He replied just as crudely.

Serena sighed at a loss for words. She'd never spoken to him like this before, and really didn't feel like getting into this conversation right now. She was too mad and knew she would regret anything she said to him right now.

"Hello, earth to meatball head!?"

Normally she loved it when he used his nickname for her, but right now she was so not in the mood.

"You know what? If you don't know then I'm not going to be the one to clue you in. You can go fuck off and figure it out. I'm out of here."

She was taking in sharp ragged breaths trying not to start screaming again. Darien was stunned speechless at her words. Serena took one last look at her boyfriend in question and ran out of there like a bat out of hell. She was going home, taking a shower, and then a long nap.

Darien was hurt beyond anything at this point. She never spoke to him this way, she never really spoke to anyone this way. Something was seriously bothering her, and no matter what she said he would go to her and fix this.

He knew she needed space. She needed to sort through her thoughts, but he needed to talk to her and find a way to mend things. He hated when they fought. It was unbearable. So he ran off after his only love, or he was about to rather, when suddenly everything around him went black.

Well, I hope you liked it. Again, I know.. a little short, but I wanted to put in a little Serena/Darien confrontation before I move on to the good part Please review.. lemme know what you think.. what you think will happen maybe? Why did everything go black suddenly? Did someone attack Darien and he passed out? Was it something more of a magical being? Thank you for reading.
