(Chapter 10: Going After Her)
Darien swore in frustration. She got away. The other girls detransformed and made their way towards the door. As they exited, Mina looked back at Darien with a small yet sad smile.
"Merry Christmas Darien."
After they left Andrew slumped down and looked around the now trashed room.
"Some party huh? And I cant believe Serena and the girls are the Sailor Scouts. I mean wow" he said in awe, "great surprise hey?"
"Yeah" Darien replied halfheartedly.
He grabbed his jacket and made a move for the door.
"Uh Andrew I-" he began.
"Just go already" Andrew cut him off, "and I better get an invite to the wedding."
"Thanks" Darien replied before running out the door.
Darien ran down the sidewalk looking for any sign of the blonde bombshell or her friends.
Darien felt a tingle between his shoulder blades, signalling that Sailor Moon/ Serena was in trouble.
As he rounded the corner and entered an alley, his heart stopped as the scene before him unfolded.
There was Serena, pinned against a wall by her wrists as a bulky man crushed against her. His hand slid up her thigh and under her skirt. Darien just stared in horror as tears streamed down her flustered cheeks.
Her small whimper snapped Darien into action.
He grabbed the man by the collar and threw him againstthe opposite wall. He then gathered the still crying Serenain his arms, bridal style, and moved away from the unconcious man.
Darien carried Serena all the way to park and put her down on a bench in the more secluded area. She had calmed down but he could still see the tears that threatened to spill.
"Da..Dar...Darien, I" she stuttered. He silenced her by placing a finger over her trembling lips.
"Its okay. No need to say thank you. I'm just glad you're okay" he said as he pulled her into a strong hug. Serena wrapped her arms around his waist and cried her heart out.
After about another 20 minutes, Serena reluctantly pulled away from Darien.
"Im sorry about that Darien. I didn't mean to ruin your shirt" she said gesturing at his now soaked shirt.
He chuckled at her innocence as she fiddled with the hem of her skirt. Darien couldn't help but shudder about what might have happened if he hadn't gone after Serena.
"I can't believe you're Sailor Moon" he said without thinking.
Serena looked at him hurt. He didn't think she was good enough to be the saviour of Tokyo. She turned away from him as the tears resurfaced.
Darien realised his mistake when she turned away.
"I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that i was surprised that the girl i lo-" he stopped suddenly, gauging whether or not to tell her. She looked at him confused.
"The girl you what? Darien" she coaxed.
She expected him to say loathed but almost chocked when he gave a quiet reply.
"Love" he said so that only she could hear. He mentally cringed as he waited for her to laugh in his face. When he looked in her eyes she quickly blushed and looked away. She glanced back at him shyly and replied with downcast eyes.
"I love you too."
Darien felt his heart swell with joy at her simple statement. Without hesitation he grabbed her hand and stood up.
He then pulled her to him and lowered his lips to within millimeters of her own.
'He's letting me decide' she thought.
'If she leaves I'll die' he thought.
Just as he was about to pull away, Serena placed her free hand behind his head and pressed her lips against his.
Darien felt his head spin as they kissed.
'I've waited too long to do this' he thought dreamily.
As they pulled away from one another, Darien enveloped Serena in another hug and buried his face in her hair.
"Promise me you'll never leave me Darien" she whispered into his chest.
For the first time in his life Darien felt comlete. His answer was short amd sweet but let her know how much she meant to him and that he would be by her side forever.
"Never" he whispered.
