lovely readers!!! (
PS I don't own these people, you all know that, I don't make any money, nothin like that, its only the plot that's mine, so please don't do anything bad like that
Chapter Three
Serena sat at the dining room table, eating her lunch. She saw Diamond walk in and stood up. "Is everyone okay?" she asked.
Diamond looked away.
Serena ran to him and grabbed him by the lapels. "Is everyone okay?" she asked again, frantically searching his face for an answer.
He looked away again and didn't say anything.
"Diamond, please. I need to know."
Diamond sat down. "I'm sure they'll be ... okay."
"Okay?" Serena asked, sinking into a chair. "Well, okay is better than dead, I suppose."
Diamond just nodded. "Yes, better than dead."
"Are they here? Can I see them?" she pleaded.
Diamond shook his head. "They're not here," he said. He wasn't lying either. He'd lost them in the portal. He had no clue as to where they were. He picked up his wine glass and looked at Serena. "I have something I have to do later, but I'd like an audience with you soon."
Serena nodded. "Yeah, sure..." she said, not totally comprehending what he meant by audience and not sure that she wanted to seem stupid and ask. I'll look it up later, she thought. She finished her lunch. "I'm going exploring," she announced.
Diamond smiled. "Go outside, in the back. There's a garden. You might like it."
Serena smiled back. "Thank you." She started to leave, and then turned back. "I could wait until you've finished," she said. "Then you can talk to me." She had finally remembered what an audience was.
Diamond shrugged. "Up to you," he said.
Serena sat down.
~*~ ~*~
"We're stuck," Rae yelled. "Damn him!"
Darien frowned. "At least it's a room we're stuck in. There's nothing in it, but it's a room instead of oblivion."
Ami sighed. "That's true." She tried to use her scanner, but nothing was working. "I think we may actually be on Nemesis." She paused. "My scanner doesn't work on Nemesis. And I don't think that Diamond meant to leave us here."
"What!" Rae exclaimed.
"No, really," she said. "He knows that Serena would hate him forever if he hurt us."
"Maybe he didn't tell her," Darien suggested. "And you're supposed to be the smart one, Ami."
Ami shook her head. "No, you could tell by the look on his face that he didn't mean us any harm. And, not to mention, if you looked far enough into the portal, you could see Serena sitting in a chair, actually reading a book."
"Serena?" Darien asked. "My Serena? Reading a book?" He laughed. "You're off your block, Ami."
Rae smiled. "You aren't very observant, are you Darien? That's why I walked in first. I thought that was where the portal would come out."
Ami frowned. "I think it was supposed to. Something must have gone wrong..."
"Like what?" Darien asked.
"A rip in time or space," Ami said.
~*~ ~*~
Diamond finished his lunch and accompanied Serena out to the garden. He smiled at her reaction. She gasped in delight. The garden had been planted when he was a boy. There were many different colors and flowers. There was a small pond and a labyrinth made of shrubbery.
"Oh, it's beautiful," she said, gazing into the garden.
Diamond smiled. "I'm glad you like it," he said. He took her arm in his. "Walk with me."
Serena gladly accepted the offer, figuring that she'd get lost anyway. She stopped every once in a while to ask what type of flowers were planted or what type of tree she saw. To her surprise, he knew them all by name.
"This is the tree that I planted," he said, pointing out a tree that was about ten feet high. "It's a cherry blossom. I saw them once when I went to Japan. I loved the look of them."
Serena smiled. "They're so pretty. Especially when they're in bloom."
Diamond nodded. "That's when I'd seen them." He looked around at the rest of the garden. "This is the one that I enchanted. I put a spell on it so that it's in bloom all year 'round. It makes my castle look somewhat happy."
"But you're a bad guy, Diamond," Serena said jokingly. "Your castle isn't supposed to look happy.
Diamond laughed and put his arm around her waist. "Still stereotyping us bad guys, Serena?"
Serena nodded merrily, oblivious to the fact that Diamond's arm was around her waist.
Diamond smirked. "Can bad guys kiss good?"
"I don't know," she answered innocently.
Diamond pulled her gently to face him. He lowered his head to a centimeter away from hers and whispered in her ear, "You're about to find out." He gently covered her mouth with his own. It as an undemanding, simple show of affection, although he wanted so much more.
Serena was surprised at the feel of Diamond's lips on her own. This isn't right, she thought, but he is a good kisser... She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and started to kiss him back, opening her mouth slightly for his advantage.
Suddenly, an explosion went off in the castle and they pulled away from each other. Diamond turned to the castle. "I have to go," he said, running to where the explosion went off.
Serena just nodded, light-headed from the kiss.
~*~ ~*~
Rae, Ami, and Darien all jumped at the sound of the explosion down the hall.
"Well," Darien said, "at least now we know we're in the castle."
"It doesn't help us if we're stuck in this room," Ami said angrily.
Rae looked at the door. She started pounding on it and was surprised when it opened to reveal Diamond standing in the doorway.
Diamond was just as surprised to see everyone else. "So that's you went," he said. He looked down the hall. "Come Mercury, I need your help."
Ami grinned. "Ooh, you need my help? Mr. Big Bad Diamond took Serena away and now he needs my help?"
Diamond cast a bored look at Ami. "Yes, your help. Can you put out a fire?" he asked.
Ami nodded. "If I had my powers, that is. They don't work here. Wait, you're telling me that you can't put out a fire? Can't you use your powers or something?"
"Actually, that's the one thing I can't do," he said sheepishly. "I can't work with water." He waved his hand and she felt a familiar jolt of power in her body. He grabbed her wrist and led her out of the room.
~*~ ~*~
Serena was still in the garden, looking in the pond and hoping everything was all right. Suddenly, she felt Sailor Mercury's presence and ran in the direction the power was coming from.
~*~ ~*~
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Sailor Mercury yelled. It instantly put out the fire without causing harm to anything else.
A look of relief crossed Diamond's face. "As a token of my appreciation, I'll ... well ... follow me."
Ami reluctantly agreed and followed Diamond through the halls of his castle. "What about Rae and Darien? What's gonna happen to them?" Ami asked, trying to keep up with Diamond's long strides.
"That's none of your concern right now." He stopped and opened a door before Ami could say anything else.
Ami gasped at the room. It was like a room she always wanted. The walls were lined with bookshelves from ceiling to floor, with extravagant chess sets sitting in the middle of the room. There was a fireplace and a huge, comfortable chair, undoubtedly for reading. Next to a beautiful, king- sized bed was a computer with all the latest upgrades. Ami's eyes sparkled and she said to Diamond jokingly, "You know, if you weren't into Serena so much, I'd make a move for you."
Diamond laughed half-heartedly in reply. "Make yourself comfortable," he said. He gave her a map like Serena's and explained it. Ami was the light blue dot. "The only thing I don't want you to do is to go looking for Serena. She thinks your dead and I want to give her a chance to believe you're still alive." He pointed to the pink dot. "Just stay away from the pink dot."
As he turned to leave, Ami put her hand on his shoulder. "Thank you, Diamond. This means a lot."
Diamond nodded. "You're welcome. You'll be dining with my brother, Sapphire. Dinner's at eight. His dining quarters are here." He pointed to a large room on her map.
"You know what," Ami said before he left. "You're not a bad guy inside, are you?"
Diamond laughed and walked out without a response. As the door closed, Ami felt that power drain from her as quickly as it had come. "Damn," she said.
~*~ ~*~
Serena ran through the halls, following Sailor Mercury's power. She turned the corner and ran right into Diamond. She was panting from running, her chest heaving up and down. "Diamond," she gasped. "I-I felt... Sailor Mercury... D-Did you see her?"
Diamond shook his head. "No, Serena. I'm sorry." He held her close. "Are you all right?" he asked softly.
Serena nodded. "I just thought ... maybe..."
Diamond pulled away and put his arm around Serena's shoulder. "Come on," he said, leading her to her room. "You probably just need some rest."
Serena shook her head. "No, I just ... I just made a mistake, I guess."
Diamond smiled. He left her at her room, saying softly, "Join me tonight for dinner?"
Serena nodded. "Yeah, sure." She started to open the door. "Where did you have to go?"
Diamond turned back to look at her. "Oh, nowhere. We've solved the problem."
"Oh, okay." Serena entered her room and shut the door behind her. She leaned against the door and started sobbing softly. "I wish the other scouts were here," she sobbed.
Diamond heard Serena's plea. He thought for a minute, and then opened a portal. I can't bear to see her cry, he thought as he entered the portal to earth.
There it is folks, I hope you like it, longer than the last one I think but all the chapters are different lengths... Well, R&R please!!!!!!! The more reviews I get, the faster I post more (
