Chapter Four

Mina and Lita sat in Lita's apartment, sulking at the fact that all of their friends were gone. Lita sighed. "I know this sounds crazy, but I'd actually just jump right through a portal to get to our friends."

Mina nodded and sighed. "I know what you mean." She paused. "Do you think that maybe we should go to the office building? Maybe Diamond would be there."

Out of nowhere, a portal appeared and Diamond stepped through.

"Hey, you saved us a trip!" Mina exclaimed.

"Huh?" Diamond said, confused.

"We were just gonna drop by the office building to look for you," Lita explained. "But you're here..." She paused. "Take us with you!" she exclaimed angrily.

"Yeah, please? We won't be a bother," Mina jumped in. "We'll clean your house."

"And I'm a good cook," Lita offered. "Ask anybody."

Diamond was dumbfounded. "I-I was just coming to take you there..."

Mina and Lita jumped up and pushed Diamond out of the way. They went through the portal. "Jeeze," Diamond said. He wiped off his shirt and then followed the girls through the portal.

Darien tried to comfort Rae as she started to get angrier by the second. "Rae, calm down. There's got to be a trick to this."

Rae shook her head. "I can't stand it," she said angrily. "Ami's God- knows-where and Diamond's got us locked up in here." She looked around at the desolate room. "What're we supposed to do?"

Darien sighed. "We'll wait."

Just then, a portal appeared behind Rae and Sapphire covered Rae's mouth with his hand and pulled her through the portal.

"Damn it!" Darien exploded. "That's the second time I let that happen to someone I care about!"

~*~ ~*~

Lita and Mina walked out of the portal and saw that they were in an extravagant room. There was an oven and miscellaneous baking and cooking items with a dining table and two chairs. At the other side of the room was a volleyball net and a volleyball, all located on a court. There were two queen-sized beds, one with cute, orange and yellow bunnies on it and one with elegant green dressings. Cookbooks lined one wall and magazines lined the one across from it.

"This is too good to be true," Mina mumbled.

Diamond smiled. "No, it's not. These are your quarters. Should you want privacy, only ask and a wall will appear between the different themes. You'll find that your clothes are in drawers under your bed. Anything that you need, just ask, and I'll give it to you."

Lita looked skeptical. "And what do we have to do?"

Diamond handed them each a map. He explained everything. Mina was the orange dot and Lita was the dark green one. "The only thing I ask is that you stay away from the pink dot."

"Who's the pink dot?" Lita asked, but Diamond was already gone.

Diamond stood outside of Serena's door, getting ready to knock. Before his fist hit the door, something hit it from the other side. Diamond frowned and opened the door, only to see Serena sitting at her vanity crying, and her brush at his feet. He picked up the brush and walked over to Serena. He sat behind her and started to brush her hair.

"You don't have to do that," she said, still sniffling.

Diamond smiled gently. "I don't mind," he answered softly, still running the brush through her hair. "Your hair's very soft. Like a kitten's fur."

Serena closed her eyes and smiled. "Thank you," she said, beginning to get light-headed from Diamond's sweet words. "When are we going to dinner again? I forgot... I didn't know if I'd make it down in time if I brushed my hair."

"It's all right," he answered. "Dinner can wait for you." He took Serena's chin gently in his cupped hand and turned her face to his. He kissed her lightly on the lips.

Serena gasped in surprise, but didn't take her eyes from Diamond's. They were just so hypnotic. She stared into his eyes waiting for him to make another move. If someone doesn't move, she thought, I'll want him to kiss me again like he did in the garden.

Diamond noticed that Serena didn't pull away and kissed her again. Once more, she stayed. So he settled his mouth over hers, taking complete possession of her mouth and molding his lips to hers. He grabbed her chin lightly and opened her mouth for himself. She tasted like strawberries and apples. He was surprised when Serena started to kiss him back.

The kiss seemed to last forever to Serena, but when Diamond pulled away, she noticed it hadn't been long at all, and immediately missed his warmth. "Diamond, I-"

Diamond put a finger up to Serena's mouth. "Shh," he said, standing up. He picked her up and sat down on the bed with her in his lap. He began nuzzling her neck, making her oblivious to what was going on around her. "Serena," he whispered, "you know I love you."

Serena's brain had turned into mush. "I-I love you, too," she answered weakly, forgetting about Darien.

~*~ ~*~

Rae awoke and rubbed her head. She looked around. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She was in a room with blue walls and carpet. There was a cozy fire burning in the fireplace at the other end of the room and she was on a king-sized bed that had blue dressings.

"This is your new room," Sapphire said from a chair next to the bed.

Rae glared at him. "You knocked me out, you jerk."

Sapphire shrugged. "You wouldn't shut up," he answered. He stood up. "Diamond will be here soon to give you something. He'll explain everything to you then." He walked to the door and opened it. "You're not allowed out of this room until you get your instructions from Diamond." He shut the door and locked it.

Rae stood up and ran to pound on the door, but tripped over her dress. The dress was long and red, with rubies studded at the waist. Her shoes were high-heels. She sighed. "There's no use," she said out loud.

~*~ ~*~

Darien sat in the desolate room and looked at the floor. There was really nothing better to do. Out of nowhere, Sapphire appeared. "If you'll follow me, Darien, I'll show you to your room."

Darien nodded and stood up. On the way to his room, Sapphire started a conversation. "I regret that you'll have to be locked in your room for a few days. Of course, all you have to do is ask for something and it'll appear. Anything you ask for, except a human being, will be at your grasp."

Darien frowned. "Why do I have to be locked in my room?" he asked.

Sapphire smiled. "Unfortunately, Diamond will be busy for a few days and won't be able to explain everything to you or Rae. You'll have access to each other, as your rooms interconnect, but you won't be able to see anyone else."

Darien sighed. "Great," he said sarcastically. Sapphire opened a door for Darien to enter.

"I hope you won't think us inhospitable," Sapphire said. "But, as I'm sure you know, there are things that need to be done and rules that need to be followed."

"Can't you explain anything?"

Sapphire frowned. "I'm afraid not," he said. "Diamond is the prince, you know. I'm just his kid brother." He closed the door, leaving Darien alone in the large room.

~*~ ~*~

Diamond kept up his tender assault on Serena, knowing that she couldn't really think of or about anything. He'd been kissing her so long that her lips were swollen. Gently, he laid her down on the bed and began to unbutton the back of her dress.

Serena, to Diamond's surprise, wasn't putting up a fight. As soon as Diamond got the dress halfway undone, Serena gasped. "Diamond, don't," she said, breathless.

Diamond closed his eyes. "Don't what?" he asked, rubbing his hand on her upper back.

Serena sighed. "Don't stop."

Diamond smiled and kissed Serena's back. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I won't."

~*~ ~*~

Ami finished reading the chapter of her book and opened the door to her bedroom, answering the knocking that she'd heard. Standing there was Sapphire. "Oh, hello," Ami said. She looked at the clock on her wall. "Am I late to dinner?"

Sapphire smiled. "No," he said. "I just wanted to call on you. Is that okay?"

Ami blushed. "Yes, that's fine." She motioned to her room. "Won't you come in?"

Sapphire smiled and entered the room. Ami closed the door and looked around. "Take a seat," she said. She walked over and put a bookmark in her book.

Sapphire sat down at one of the chess tables. "What book are you reading?" he asked.

Ami looked at the book. "Umm ... 'Tell Me My Name' by Mary Carter," she answered. She sat down across the chess set from Sapphire. "Have you read it?"

Sapphire smiled and nodded. "Yes, actually, I have," he said. "As I recall, I believe I have a copy in my room."

Ami nodded. "It's very good so far."

"Where are you?" Sapphire asked, hoping she'd already read his favorite part.

"Alexandra just met her mother," Ami replied, admiring one of the intricately carved chess pieces, which looked like her and the scouts. The black pieces were people from the Negaverse. All of the pieces were crystal.

Sapphire's eyes light up. "Did you get to the dialogue yet?"

Ami shook her head. "You interrupted me," she said playfully.

Sapphire smiled, catching the joke. "Oh, well, then," he said. "I can leave..."

"Oh, don't," Ami said. "Stay. Play a game of chess."

Sapphire smiled. "You're on, Ami."

~*~ ~*~

Rae jumped at the knock from the adjoining door to her room. She opened the door and saw Darien standing there. "Darien!" she exclaimed. "Are you locked in, too?"

Darien nodded, walking into Rae's room. "Unfortunately," he said angrily. "Sapphire said something about regulations that Diamond needed to tell me about."

"He can't tell you himself?" Rae asked, annoyed that Sapphire wouldn't let Darien out either.

Darien shrugged. "I guess not. He said that Diamond was the prince and it was his job, or something like that." He turned to Rae. "I think something's going on."

"Like what?" Rae asked, confused. "Darien, they did give us beautiful suites. And we can have anything we want."

"Except human interaction," Darien pointed out. "Don't you find that a little suspicious?"

"Come to think of it..." Rae gasped. "Darien, what if ... what if Diamond's got Serena thinking you're dead?"

The Next Morning

Serena awoke next to Diamond, blushing as she remembered what had happened last night. You stupid ditz, she thought to herself. You said don't. He asked, 'Don't what' and all you say is, 'Don't stop.'

Her heart was pounding as she recalled everything that happened. What if Darien's still alive? she thought, realizing the full extent of what she'd done. She looked at Diamond, who was still asleep with his arms around her. He doesn't have to know...
