Darien made it quickly over to them. He had a grip of steel on Seiya's arm so strong that it forced him to spin around causing him to falter in his grip on Serena which was just enough for her to escape his grasp. Andrew left Mina's side and strode over to where Serena was. Darien had a look of pure disgust for the man now standing in front of him. He glared at Seiya through narrow silted eyes. Once before he had caught him with his Serena and he vowed never again to allow that man to touch her. Andrew pulled Serena to safety knowing what was going to happen next. Darien had told Andrew what had happened to Serena and how he had found them in the park. He escorted the blond to a safe spot in the club where Mina joined her.
Seiya swung first. Darien's reaction time was a little slowed with the amount of alcohol he had consumed. He barely pulled his arm up in time to block the oncoming blow. He flung Seiya's arm back and countered with a swing of his own this time making contact with Seiya's face. Seiya staggered back a step before regaining his balance and charging blindly at Darien. He was caught off guard by Seiya's speed. His fists connected with Darien's face and his gut which made Darien double over slightly in pain. He winced as Seiya gave him a wicked smile. From his pocket Seiya pulled out a small knife, just large enough to do some serious damage. Darien looked at the knife but was not going to be deterred. He was blinded by hate. This man had dared to touch her once and he had tried it again. It was too much for Darien to take. Seiya slashed Darien's arm when he rushed forward to attack. Darien knocked Seiya to the ground.
The fight did not go unnoticed. Three lager men came barreling over to the two men seemingly appearing out of the shadows. Two of the bouncers grabbed Seiya's arms while the third picked up the knife which he had dropped when Darien thrust him to the ground. He was about to swing at him again when Greg and Chad appeared pulling a wild Darien from Seiya. Darien still had a look of pure fury in his dark eyes. His friends were a little taken aback by this side of Darien; he was a man that showed little to no emotions and for him to loose it like this was truly out of character. Seiya was dejected from the club by the bouncers with some difficulty as he had put up a fight. The three bouncers were enough to over power him and force him out of the club.
Mina was joined by Amy, Lita and Rei as the attempted to comfort their shaken friend. Her friends comforting words fell on def ears as Serena's eyes were on Darien she was only focused on him and the similarities between the events in the past and the ones that had just taken place.
Andrew attempted to smooth things over with the bouncers as he explained his friend's actions. Greg and Chad pulled Darien back over to the bar trying to calm their friend. Darien still had a murderous look in his darkened eyes but it softened at the sight of her. She had never looked at him like that before. It was a strange mix of confusion, understanding and love? Was it really love that he was seeing in her eyes. He hoped that it wasn't just a trick of the light or his imagination at work. Did she know? Did she understand his feelings for her?
a/n: I know I said that this would be the last chapter but its not. The next chapter will be the final chapter. I'm going to warn you all again. You most likely will not like the out come. No happy endings here. I hate to write them. I'm so evil. I know the chapters are short but the last one will be a long one. I just got back from the club and I'm a little intoxicated; at this point I hope the story is coherent enough that it made sense. I do not advise drinking and dancing. Alcohol is not your friend.
