Chapter 9

Serena was terrified to say the least, he wasn't his usual calm easy-going self, he looked like he could kill Andrew! 'Why would he want to kill Andrew?' she asked herself, then it hit her, 'could it be that he thinks I'm in love with Andrew?' 'Uh oh, he thinks I'm in love with Andrew, this can't turn out well!' she thought in panic, until she was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of Andrew's voice "how do you know me???" he asked also frightened by the look in Tuxedo Mask's eyes.

The sound of Andrew's voice also brought Tuxedo mask out of his rage, 'this is my best friend, what am I thinking?' he mentally slapped himself for acting that way towards his best friend, then, he looked down to a , now fully conscience, sailor moon, even though he had calmed down sailor moon still had fear in her eyes. Tuxedo Mask saw the look of fear in her eyes, 'Is she...Scared?...of me?', 'Oh no, what have I done?, he thought while stumbling backwards, he had a look of realization and guilt in his eyes, 'Why did I have to make her scared of me?', he moved closer and reached his hand out of help her up from Andrew's arms, she turned around quickly, further into Andrew's embrace.

She clung to him for dear life , Tuxedo mask had a look of shock in his eyes, Andrew gave him a stern look, Tuxedo mask just glared back, he withdrew his hand as Andrew hugged her closer to him, in a brotherly way.

"Brotherly" would not be the way Tuxedo mask would have described it, he felt himself start to loose control again, then he remembered the look in sailor moon's eyes, then he turned around, trying his best to keep his temper in check, he closed his eyes and counted backwards from ten in his mind'10...9...8...7...6' he was starting to get more and more calm '5...4...3...2" until he got to two" I think you need to leave!" Andrew said in a stern voice.

Tuxedo Mask had had enough, he whirled around, and his eyes glared into Andrew's , Andrew glared right back at him, he would not let him hurt his little sister-like friend. Tuxedo Mask spun around on his heels and began to leap off, and the only reason he left was to keep his temper under control, all night he could not get sailor moon's face with that look of fear on her face, fear he had caused, and his guilt was unimaginable.

Next Day

Serena walked into the arcade where she saw Andrew behind the counter cleaning a glass with a dishtowel, so she decided to go over and talk to him. She walked up to see Darien hunched over on a barstool, over a cup of coffee, Serena walked over to the counter where Andrew was , she leaned over so Darien couldn't hear her, and whispered to Andrew "What's wrong with him? He looks like he just lost his puppy or something" she said in a concerned, serious voice, Andrew could hardly keep a snicker in, and keep a smile from creeping onto his face when she said that, when Andrew composed himself "I don't know why don't you go ask him?" was what he said and he walked away and left Serena with her thoughts. "ME?" se squeaked. 'Andrew can't be serious!' she thought, 'I can't talk to him, we will end up putting on a show for the whole arcade…………again!' she thought in a panic. She sighed ' Oh well, better go ahead and bite the bullet."

She walked up and sat down the stool right next to Darien, he didn't even look up, so she thought. He had looked up at her, she was pure beauty to him, his breath caught in his throat, he decided to get up and leave before they got into their annual fight, and give the whole arcade a show, again. But he was too late , he was about to get up when she began to ask a question, "What's the matter, Darien?" she asked with pure concern in her voice, but before he could stop himself he replied coldly" None of your business Meatball-head!" then he caught himself, and threw a hand over his mouth, when he say the fire in her eyes. She was about to retort, when Darien stood up and did the most unthinkable thing, he kissed her , right on the lips, he stole her fist kiss, no matter how much she had wanted it to happen, she just didn't want it to happen this way! Before she knew it he was pulling back and he said "I'm so sorry, Serena" he said as he rushed out of the arcade, but little did he know he had left something behind.

THE END (for now…………..)
