As soon as Darien arrived in his bedroom he quickly laid Serena down on his bed. She lay there beautifully against his silk dark blue comforter. Darien soon found himself staring at her body which was only barely covered by the few shreds of clothing that managed to stay on her then the youma attacked. Her body was glorious with the endless curves of her long legs, womanly hips, petite waist, and wonderful swell of her breast. Any man would find himself powerless not to find her the embodiment of temptation itself. Darien looked at her face and couldn't help, but feel a strange tug pulling him towards her. Ever so slowly Darien began leaning down towards Serena, leaning down to kiss her. When Darien was only inches away from her lips Serena wiggled and spoke in her sleep.

"I'm here," she said as she rolled to her side to face him only to drop something. Darien heard something drop to the floor and looked down to see a gold star locket. Darien bent down to picked it up and slowly the lid popped open to play the melody he had heard when he first saw Serena. Suddenly an image of him as Tuxedo Mask fighting along with Sailor Moon flashed in his mind.

Darien cursed to himself and backed a few steps away dropping the locket on the bed. He hated his situation. How could this seemingly ordinary girl have such an amazing control over him, even in her sleep! At this moment Darien hated the blonde goddess sleeping in his bed. He hated her beauty, her sweetness, her trust in people, the unnatural glow she had around her and most of all her power she unknowingly held over him.

Darien had to get away from Serena for a moment. He was scared of what he might do to her if he didn't. So many thoughts ran through his head as he looked down at her. The Negaverse side of him told him to rape her, to take her sweet innocents, torture her mentally and physically to dim and snuff out her glow or kill her so the threatening power she held over him was no longer. On the other hand his heart told him to protect her, always stay by her side, and even love her. With all this running through Darien he thought it best to sit at his desk and go over some plans Queen Beryl requested him to.

It was some time when Serena finally woke up. She was confused for a moment until she looked down at her clothes. Serena remembered everything. Her outfit was nothing but shreds that barely covered her now very exposed body from when the youma attacked her. She remembered the last blast of energy it shot at her and she remembered Malachite taking her somewhere before she went unconscious. How did she get into this room though? Suddenly fear struck her. Had Malachite took her to his bedroom to rape and torture her? Serena acted quickly and jumped out the bed and began running to the door. Right when she was about to open it the door sudden opened.

"And where do you think you're going?" Darien asked slightly amused by her frightened face.

"Oh Darien, thank God!" Serena cried as she threw herself into his chest and began to cry into his shirt. "I thought he brought me here to, to," but Serena couldn't finished as her crying became uncontrollable. Darien felt his heart soften and he wrapped his arms around her shaking form to and comfort her. Serena's crying quickly slowed and Darien gently guided her back into his bedchambers.

"Are you okay now?" Darien asked softly.

"Yes, I'm okay now," Serena answered. Darien then let go of her and started walking to his large dark dresser. He then set down a box that he had been carrying since before Serena threw herself into him. "What's in the box?"

"Something for you to wear while you are here," he answered.

"Oh," Serena said blushing as she stared down at her almost naked body.

"This was the only thing I could find for you," Darien said as he pulled out a long black negligee. "There is not much here for a girl, especially you're size." Serena blushed at the sight of the sexy night dress. Gently she took the dress from him and to what she assumed was the bathroom. Within a few minutes Serena reappeared. Darien felt his breath leave him at the sight of her. The night dress hung off her curves perfectly and showed just enough cleavage without giving everything away. The slit that went up to her hip showed off her shapely leg. Serena had taken out her buns so her hair flowed down her back like a river of gold. Darien couldn't find the words to speak as he looked at her.

"Do you not like it on me?" Serena asked after a few minutes of them just staring at each other in silence. It was still a good few moments before he found his voice.

"Quite the opposite actually," Darien stated flatly then turned walking to the fireplace. Serena was confused at his words. He liked how she looked, but sounded unhappy about it. She was right though, Darien was very unhappy, but at himself and not Serena. He was getting that feeling again that only she brings out of him except along with this feeling was another feeling that every man knows as lust. Darien couldn't believe that he, a Prince of the Negaverse, was lusting after a simple Earth human female.

"You don't sound very happy," Serena stated as she placed her small feminine hand on his back. Darien felt his body relax at her touch. This was not a good situation. Darien could feel his hormones kicking in like some sixteen year old high school boy.

"My apologies then," Darien quickly said and retreated to his desk. He was actually running away from her! Not running for fear of her, but rather running for fear of what his body was telling him to do. Serena looked confused at Darien's actions and began to slowly walk over to him. As soon as she was, but a few steps away Darien put his hand up to signal her to stop. Serena naturally ignored this and kept walking till she was standing right next to him.

"Why are you being so distant with me? Did I do something wrong?" Serena waited for a few minutes, but Darien never answered. He just stared at the papers that were before him. "Darien please answer me," she begged.

"Serena, I can't," Darien said with a frustrated tone.

"Can't what?"

"Be around you like this!" Darien shouted as he stood from his chair to look at her. "I am a Prince of the Negaverse and I'm lusting over an Earth girl! I am the chosen one to be by the Queen's side and right now I would choose having you by my side then be by her!" Serena just stared at him in shock. "Don't you understand what goes through my head when you're near? Especially when you look like this!" Serena then got the surprise for her life. Darien suddenly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her with all the passion in him. Serena couldn't believe what was happening. All her hard work she was putting in was finally paying off. Her Darien was starting to show through this Prince of darkness outer shell. After a few moments the kiss ended. Serena's cheeks were flushed and Darien's breathing was heavy. Kissing Serena was like pure honey touched by the sun and he couldn't get enough of it.

"Darien," Serena said in almost a whisper.

"Serena," Darien replied back. They stared into each other's eyes for a while until there was a knock at the door. Darien growled at himself and went to opened it only to see Malachite on the other side.

"Hello Prince Darien," Malachite greeted smiling evilly.

"What do you want?"

"I came to tell you that Queen Beryl commands your presences." Malachite paused for a minute looking passed Darien at Serena. "I see you have been busy." Malachite walked passed Darien towards Serena. "She is lovely, but Darien I never figured you one for human Earth girls." Malachite began to reach his hand out to touch her face, but Darien quickly grabbed it.

"You are never to touch her," Darien said angrily. Malachite laughed and pulled his hand away.

"My, my Darien, you're so protective of her. Is this girl special to you?"

"That is no concern of yours. I will go to see the Queen as soon as I return the girl."

"Very well," Malachite agreed and walked out, closing the door behind him.

"He's such a fool," Darien said to himself then turned to his dresser. He quickly found his cape and wrapped it around Serena's shoulders. "Come, it's time for me to take you home now." Serena nodded her head in agreement. Darien then wrapped his arm around her waist and led her out his bedroom chambers. Later that evening Darien and Serena finally approached Serena's house. The trip there was very uncomfortable since they hadn't spoken a word the entire time. When they reached Serena's door she reached for the handle only to discover that it was locked.

"Oh no," she said to herself. Seeing that the door was locked, Darien wrapped his cape around her and transported them both to her bedroom.

"Thank you," Serena said as she walked away from Darien to her dresser. Thank goodness Luna was sleeping with Mina and Artemis tonight. "How did you know where my room was?"

"I don't know," Darien answered a little shocked. "I just knew."

"Oh." Serena was nervous with Darien being in her room. She could feel his eyes burning into her though her back was to him. Indeed his eyes were fixed on her. Something about being in her space made his hunger for her grow. She was much too beautiful for him not to desire her. Darien slowly snaked his arm around her waist and softly kissed her neck. Her skin tasted wonderful to his lips and Darien couldn't control himself any longer. He began kissing and nibbling on her neck and shoulders feverishly while cupping one of her breast. Serena moaned in response to his assault. She too was quickly losing the battle against giving into him. Serena knew she had to stop him, but her body didn't give her the power to push him away.

Darien quickly turned Serena to face him and captured her mouth with his own. Serena wrapped her arms around his neck signally her surrender to him. Darien smiled to himself for his victory and soon he would know how it feels to become one with this beautiful Earth angel. Darien roughly pushed Serena on her bed and eagerly climbed on top of her. He wanted her so bad he could hardly stand it.

"Serena, are you home already?" Serena's mother called from the other side of her bedroom door causing both Serena and Darien to freeze.

"We'll pick this up at another time," Darien whispered through gritted teeth and disappeared.

"Serena?" her mother called again.

"Yeah mom," she answered in a fake groggy tone as she rushed to put on her regular pajamas. "I'm coming." Serena quickly finished dressing and opened the door.

"What time did you get in honey?" Ilene asked what seemed to be a very tired daughter.

"Just a little while ago mom," Serena answered trying to sound tired.

"Okay just making sure," her mother said from behind the door and left to go back to bed. Serena sighed in relief as she secretly thanked God that her mother didn't just open her bedroom door. Slowly Serena picked up her pillow and dropped it over her face. She was starting to think that her plan wasn't working to how she hoped it would. Darien was starting to lust after her and to make it worst she was giving into him because of her own lust. Serena couldn't tell the girls this. Well, at least not yet, but soon she will. Until then though, she must sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a big day for her.

"And where have you been?" Malachite questioned as him and Darien made their way to the throne room. "Taking the little Earth bunny home?"

"Of course," Darien stated. "I can't have her here roaming the castle in my absence."

"Why is that? Afraid something might happen to her?"

"I told you she belongs to me!" Darien shouted as he pushed Malachite against the wall. "And if I ever see you touch her again so help me Malachite."

"Oh please," Malachite said as he pushed Darien off of him. "I find it hard to believe that tiny little Earth girl could mean anything more to you then just a good fuck."

"We are done discussing the issue," Darien said quickly before returning to his walk to the throne room. Malachite followed behind as the two entered the room.

"Your majesty," Malachite greeted as they approached Queen Beryl.

"So you two finally made it," Queen Beryl commented hotly. "Have any of you devised a plan to retrieve the crystal from Princess Serena?"

"I have my Queen," Malachite stated stepping forth. "I have read that ice skating was once popular on the moon and that Princess Serena was very good at it."

"So you're going to use ice skating as a form to lure Princess Serena into a trap?"

"Yes my Queen."

"There you go using humans to do your dirty work," Darien said rolling his eyes.

"Go to hell Darien!" Malachite shot back angrily.

"Down boys, down!" Queen Beryl shouted amusingly. "Malachite you have my permission to execute this plan. Let's hope it works"

"Thank you my Queen," Malachite said bowing then disappeared.
