"AHHHHHHHHH!" Luna screamed as she was tossed off the side of Serena's bed yet again.

"SERENA WAKE UP!" The cat yelled as it clawed its way back onto the bed. However, Serena's body continued to toss and turn while she slept. Luna's eyes widened in worry as she noticed Serena's body was slightly red from heat and was sweating badly. "SERENA!" Luna screamed as she clawed Serena in the leg.

"What the-" Serena gasped out in pain as she rolled onto the floor and landed on her butt. Taking deep breaths, Serena tried to calm herself down.

"Serena what in the world is wrong with you. Every night for the past few days, you've been thrashing around and crying. Tell me what is going on!" Luna demanded.

"I can't!" Serena said as she felt the throbbing pain of her change coming.

"Why not!" Luna demanded to know as she jumped down next to the blond girl.

"Because, truthfully, I don't know right now!" Serena growled out in an animalistic way that suprised Luna.

'That's it we're going to have to have a scout meeting!' Luna thought to herself as she backed as far away from Serena as she could. The look in Serena's eyes terrified her.

Serena blinked a couple of times and shook her head trying to shake off the change. She couldn't change in front of Luna or else the poor cat would die of fright. No matter how hard she tried to calm herself down it wasn't working. Running to the bathroom, Serena slammed the door shut and locked it.

"Serena, I know something is wrong! You know something and I can tell!" Luna yelled through the door but Serena heard none of it. Her body was aching again as she began to change once again.

"Not again!" Serena pleaded as she squeezed her eyes closed and curled up in a ball while rocking back and forth on the floor. Why was this happening to her and what was making her changes come more often then before? What was CAUSING her changes.

Serena gasped as relization smacked her in the face. Those dreams! This all started when her dreams began. Serena could still hear the sound of what seemed to be wolves howling in her dream. The same howling that was now ringing in the back of her head. The same that came when she was changing.

Closing her eyes, Serena tried to remember her dreams further. All she could remember was walking along a path wearing very old clothes. Clothes her family wore to the festivals that Japan threw in remembrance of their ancestors. As she walked, all she could see was forest surrounding her. Not even the moonlight could be seen because the forest was strong enough to penetrate the growth. She continued to walk a good distance before a distinct howl trigered something in her mind. That's when it happened! One minute she was in the forest and in the next she was in front of a water fall with no one but herself and some man wearing what looked to her like animal skin. No matter how hard she tried, she could never see his face, only his blue slits of eyes watching her.

Serena gasped in pain as her change came quicker at remembrance. Something about that man was triguring her change to come faster. Serena watched hopelessly as her nails turned to claws, as she felt her ears pull and tug into shape, as her muscles begin to strengthen and her senses open wider to the things around her, and . . . as she felt something furry rub against her leg.

Serena froze at the feeling and, against her better judgement, she turned to see what it was that was tickling the back of her leg. Several seconds passed as Serena took in what it was that was brushing against her lightly, a brown tail. Cocking her head to one side, Serena reached back and tugged it.

"OW!" Serena growled out, "It's ATTACHED?"

Indeed the furry tail was attached to her rear. Just before she passed out from complete shock, Serena remembered that the man from her dreams had something swaying behind him that looked like a tail. 'He must be the cause of all my troubles.' Serena thought as she fell to the floor with a loud bang.


"Luna what's with this emergency meeting?" Amy asked from ovre her textbook, "We need our sleep for our final exams this week."

Luna merely paced back and forth in Rei's room at the shrine, their regular meeting place, "It's about Serena!"

At this everyone quirked their eyebrows, they had noticed her absense but merely figured she was late for another meeting.

"What? Is something wrong with her?" Darien questioned with concern as he noticed Luna's troubled look.

"I'm not quite sure to be honest. All I know is that in the past few days Serena has been having some awful nightmares that have caused her to have nothing but restless sleep."

"What if she's experiencing is what Darien was in the past with the Dark Moon fight!" Lita questioned as all the scouts but Rei nodded their heads in agreement. The memory of their Princess' pain still lingering in the back of their minds, especially Dariens.

"It couldn't be caused by King Endymion because he already said we passed his test of our love for one another!" Darien exclaimed as he rubbed his temples with his fingers, trying to work away the headache that was forming.

"Maybe it's from another enemy!" Mina the every bubbly one suggested in a serious tone.

"Dreams?" Rei whispered under her breath as she relized she wasn't the only one going through a sequence of weird dreams.

"REI!" everyone yelled as they tried to gain her attention.

"Huh?" Rei wondered as she blinked a couple times in confusion, "What?"

"We asked you what you thought and when you didn't answer we kept calling your name. You zoned out on us. Are you okay?" Artemis questioned from his spot on Mina's lap.

Rei shook her head lightly causing her raven hair to sway with her movements in a dramatic look that made her seem tired and pale unlike her normal self, "I'm fine!"

"Well?" Artemis questioned her again.

"I-I . . . I really don't know . . . maybe we could ask Serena but . . . since she hasn't approached us about the dreams then maybe we shouldn't. . . she has a right to keep things private . . " Rei stuttered as she remembered her experiences with her dreams. The haunting visions of her mother turning away her father for that silver haired man. A strange man that she didn't trust but what could she do?

"If it is endangering her then I think we should!" Lita entervened, "We should probably go talk to her right now. Luna where is she?"

"In the hospital!"

"WHAT?" everyone including Rei screamed.

"She ran into the bathroom last night and passed out causing her to hit her head over the tiled floor. She was bleeding when her father was able to beat down the door!" Luna whispered as she bowed her head. She really hadn't wanted them to know yet because Serena needed her rest. Whatever was happening to her these past few nights was working its toll on her.

"Why was she locked in there to begin with?" Darien argued as anger filled him. Serena had gotten hurt and Luna hadn't bothered to tell him so he could go comfort her.

"I don't know. She just ran in there and locked the door. The next thing I know is she yelled out in pain before yelling, 'IT's ATTATCHED.' Her parents came in and when they saw me clawing at the door they tried to open it but had to break it down because she wouldn't open it. The next thing I knew her father was swearing, her mother crying, and her brother running down the stairs to call an ambulance."

Darien had enough as he got up and preceeded to storm out of the door but was stopped when Luna bit on his pant leg, "Darien it won't do no good to go because she isn't awake. She is still suffering from her head injury. She hit the floor pretty hard."

"I'm going to go see her whether she's awake or not!" Darien said in an irritated voice as he stormed out to see his fiance'.

Luna sighed in defeat, "Stubborn man!"

"Luna he has a right to go! However, I think it's best if the rest of us wait to see her when she get's out of the hospital and on her feet again!" Ami said in a low ordering voice as she closed her book.

"I agree-Rei what's going on?" Lita asked worredly as she noticed Rei's depressed look but when Rei didn't answer she figured it was because of their Princess' recent condition. Standing up and walking over to her friend she patted her on the back, "Don't worry Rei she'll be fine! Besides it looks like you're worrying youreself grey!" Lita snickered.

"What are you talking about?" Rei snapped angrily. She was in the middle of a vision and Lita had interrupted.

"This or are you trying for highlights. I thought you didn't like that idea Rei!" Lita said as she pulled out a semi-large string of hairs that were silver.

"Hey I've never seen that kind of highlight besides when Serena turns into Serenity! Wow thats so cool! where did you get it done?" Mina questioned as she moved toward Rei but wasn't able to get a better look because Rei ran off into her bathroom.

"No!" Rei cried out as she about choked on the tears she was trying to restrain. Her beautiful raven hair she had gotten from her parents was turning silver. How? No one in her family had that kind of hair. As her hand lightly brushed across the silver strands, visions of that man and her mother kissing lightly entered her mind.

"HIM!" Rei growled as she gripped the edges of her sink tightly, so tightly the ceramic broke.

"Oh my GOD!" Amy cried as she walked in at that exact moment causing Rei to break out of her trance and take notice of her injured hands.

"REI! What on earth possessed you to do that?" Amy questioned as she shoved Rei's hands under the faucet of flowing water to clean the wounds.

"Stress . . . "


"Can I help you sir?" A receptionist nurse questioned the dark haired man standing before her.

"Yes, I need to know what room Serena Usagi Tsukino is in!" Darien said urgently as he waited for the answer.

The nurse nodded as she proceeded to type away on her computer for the information, "I'm sorry sir but that patient is currently not allowed any visitors besides family. Are you related to her?"

"I'm her fiance!" Darien said in a hurried voice.

"Oh well then her room is on the thrid floor number 335! However, your visiting time is limited to one hour since you are not her direct family!" the nurse said as she gave him a key with the numbers 335 written on them.

"Thank you!" Darien said as he made a mad rush for the stairs. The elevator had a line and would take to long to get up to the floor. He had no time to waste when he could merely run up the stair to her.

"Sere?" he questioned as he made it to the third floor and into her room. His heart ached at the sight of her bandaged head and the dark bruise clearly seen below the dressing. The look of her in that hospital bed with all of the equipment set up about her tore him apart. How could this happen to his odango atama?

"Sere it's me Darien!" Darien said as he pulled up a chair beside her and grabbed on of her hands, rubbing it gently.

There was no answer which made him cringe, "Why didn't you tell me about your nightmares, love?" he questioned her silent form but he only laughed inwardly at himself. Why should she tell him when he never told her. Only pushed her away and hurt her. Sometimes he didn't think he deserved her with the way he treated her, but hell he loved her. He'd be damned if he let some other try and take her away from him. Darien loved her too much for that.

Inside Serena's dream+

'What's going on?' Serena cried out as the howling continued to echo throughout her head. It hadn't stopped since she woke up, however long ago that was. Instead of ceasing or quieting down it got louder and it seemed as if it was getting more aggressive. The longer it wen't the more drawn she was to it. Her body pulled toward the cries and she felt her body slowly changing again but this time it wasn't as painful. It was like the howling was coaxing her gently to change then come and it would get what it wanted.

Squeezing her eyes closed, Serena accepted that she couldn't escape. That's what the howl was telling her. What surprised her more was that she understood the animal's call but even more surprising is that she didn't mind the thought of going. For some reason she thought that howl belonged to the man in her dreams and that thought seemed to comfort her. She felt safe, more so then she ever felt before.

BACK IN REALITY+

"Serena please be okay!" Darien pleaded as he squeezed her hand. Small tears fell down his cheeks as he kissed her hand lightly and pressed it to his face. He didn't expect her to move. The doctors had already came in and told him that she was in a vague comotose state. They didn't think it was major considering the fall she had but they did know she would be out for a few days if not weeks.

"Serena?" Darien questioned in amazement as the hand hee had cupped to his face squeezed lightly. Looking at her face he noticed her eyes open but instead of the wide blue eyes he loved so much they were slits of deep blue with silver lining. Darien jerked away as he felt a prick on his cheek from her nails.

'What is going on?' Darien wondered as he watched Serena sit up and jerk of the bandage around her head. He expected to see a gash of some sorts but was amazed to see no such thing and the bruise he had seen was gone. He knew she was a fast healer with her crystal, but not that fast.

"Who are you?" she questioned as her eyes turned on him.

"Serena don't joke around, it's me Darien!" Darien exclaimed as he walked closer but stopped as he noticed her body changing.

The muscles in her body began to form lightly, not in a manly way but he could see them more, her nails had turned to claws, her cheeks adorned a blue streak that resembled a thin slash, and finally, the big stunner, was a tail that seemed to have come out of nowhere.

"D-Darien?" she questioned as she gripped her head. 'He-I know him. . . DARIEN NO. . . he's seen me. . no. . . .' Serena thought but she pushed her thoughts aside as another part of her took over and begin to mix with her being.

"Yes Serena me!" Darien said as he approached her slowly.

"Get back! You can't see me like this!" a voice much like Serena's and much different growled as she bared her canines.

"What's happened to you, Sere?" Darien questioned as he continued to walk to her but stopped as she ripped out the needles and devices that connected her to the machines and stood atop the bed.

"Stay back, human!" she growled and struck out at the annoying maching that continued to make a continuous beep sound.

"Sere, calm down!" Darien said as he tried to make sense of the situation but failed as she merely turned and jumped out the window.

"SERENA!" he screamed and as he made a move to catch her a doctor restrained him.

"SEND SOMEONE DOWN TO THE ENTRANCE IMMEDIATELY!" The doctor ordered as he tried to calm Darien down but couldn't, "Sorry about this sir!" the doctor said as he thrust a needle in Dariens skin and watched as the medicine sedated him.

"Sir the girl isn't there!" the nurse replied with a phone to her ear, "They said people saw her land on the ground before taking off in such a speed it looked like she vanished."

"Looks like this is going to be a long day of explinations and paperwork!" the doctor said as he ordered a nurse to take the almost unconscious man to another room.
