TITLE:Runaway
CHAPTER:11

~~~ * ~~~
Serena woke up with the sheets tangled around her and someone's arm around her waist.
Serena remembered the events that had taken place last night.She and Darien were arguing
but then all of a sudden they were kissing like there was no tomorrow.Serena loved Darien
she knew that for a fact but the other question is how will she tell the others?She looked
to her right side and saw Darien sleeping peacefully and smiling in his sleep.She gave him a
quick kiss on his forhead and headed for the shower.But was stopped by two strong arms.

"And where do you think your going?" Darien mumbled.

Serena giggled nervously"Umm. . . no where love just going for a walk."

Darien peeked one eye open."Without me?"

Serena smiled and gave him a peck on the lips.She was going to pull away but Darien wasnt
done.He pulled her back on the bed and placed both his arms around her waist and kissed
her endlessly.He missed her kisses far long enough.Atleast he could enjoy this moment.They
finally pulled away due to the lack of air.Serena looked at him dreamily and smiled.

"I'll be right back im going to take a shower."

Darien nodded his head and got ready himself.The only problem was how were they to explain
this to the generals and outers.

~~~ * ~~~
Serena was out of the shower and doing her hair into her traditional meatball hairstyle.After
Serena was done she stepped out of the bedroom while Darien was taking a shower.She saw
what was occuring in the room before her.The generals were at their normal day routine.
Drinking coffee with a paper the outer senshi were just relaxing on the couch and watching
tv.

"So sleeping beauty finally decided to wake up huh?"

"Stuff it Malachite." Serena managed in a playful way.

"Umm . . .Serry were sorry about what happened the other night, with the scouts."

"I think I speak for Haruka and the others Serena.We are all at fault here."

"Its ok Setsuna I appreciate you guys there for me but you know you cant always watch me
twenty four seven.And I accept your apology.Now I just have something to ask of you guys."

Each and every one of them looked at Serena curiously.

"What is it Serena?" Nephrite asked.

Serena shifted uneasily under Nephrite's heavy gaze on her.

"Serena you know you can ask us anything." Jedite said smiling at her.

Serena relaxed a little bit but still tensed."What would you guys say if me and Darien got
back together?"

Eery silence is all that was heard.You could hear a pin drop if someone were to drop one.

"Serena when did this happen?"

"Last night Sets."

"I'll kill him."

"NO Jed its not his fault we talked ALOT last night and everythings ok now."

"Serena after what he did you going to take him back like that??!!"

"Malachite its not like I was going to be mad at him forever.I love him.No matter how much I
want to hate him I cant."

"You can TRY to hate him!"

"Dont you think I tried that Haruka?! It's not that simple!"

"Whats so hard!? You just pretend!"

Serena was getting ticked off now didnt they know how much pain she went through trying to
when she cant.No matter how hard she tried,her heart wouldnt lie to her.

"Haruka you dont get it!I cant pretend!What dont you understand about that?!"

"Serena you should of consulted us about this first before making your own decision!"

"Nephrite how could I?! He was in my bedroom last night it came up unexpectantly!" Serena
quickly covered her mouth.She didnt mean to blurt that out.

"I'll kill him if he layed one finger on you!"

"Your not going to Malachite as long as I'm here."

"You cant watch him forever Serena." Nephrite said sternly yet fiercly.

"Serena why didnt you tell us earlier?" Michiru whispered ever so softly.

Serena looked at Michiru concerned in her eyes."Michiru I wish I could but it was all so
sudden"

"Serena do you truly love Darien?" Setsuna asked.

"With all my heart." Serena replied every drop of love heard in her voice.

They all heard a noise behind Serena's bedroom door.Serena cursed softly.

"Hes still here isnt he?" Zoycite said.

Serena looked towards Zoycite.And before she knew it Malachite came charging towards her
bedroom door.Serena quickly stepped in front of him, holding out both her arms to the side as
if stopping him.

"Step aside Serena."

"No" Serena said fiercly.

"Serena move now I do not wish to hurt you."

"Then your going to have to if you wish to pass Malachite."

Next thing she knew she had to deal with 2 other guys.Nephrite and Haruka.While Serena was
busy stopping Malachite.They both ran to the door.

"NO!" screamed Serena.Next thing she knew she had Setsuna and Michiru blocking them.There
stood two girls in front of the blocking there way.

"Michi move." Haruka growled underneath his breath.

"No,your going to have to deal with us."

Serena looked at both girls gratefully.

"Serena move"

"No malachite.I wont.You can beat me or whatever but I wont move."

Malachite didnt quit get it.His "supposively" prince treated Serena so badly yet she still loved
him with all her heart.

"Why Serena?He hurt you badly you should be there slashing his throat.Not forgiving him.So
I ask you again why?"

Serena smiled at his overly protectiveness.He was always like a big brother to her."Malachite
its all for love.Yea Darien did something bad but that doesnt mean he doesnt deserve a second
chance.I tried hard trying to stop loving him.But I couldnt it seems as if destiny pulled us
together.Malachite cant you just find it in your heart to forgive him like how I did to you."

Malachite blinked back in surprise.She did forgive him,for when he was "supposively" evil
Serena forgave him and now here they are best of friends.Malachite looked at her.She was
standing there so innocent looking.Malachite sighed.

"Alright Serena you win I wont kill him."

Serena jumped up in joy and hugged him tightly.Malachite hugged her fircely back with just
the same emotions.

Haruka and Nephrite stepped back.They could see Malachite was going to forgive Darien then
maybe they could too.

As if on cue Darien stepped out of the bedroom.Everyone turned their heads to the dark figure.
Everyone turned their attention towards Darien.He simply smiled.And looked at Malachite and
Serena still in the hugging position and looking at him.

Darien looked at the both of them.He smiled at the two.Serena ran back into Dariens arms and
hugged him.He gladly returned the hug with just as much passion.Darien had his arm arounds
Serena waist and looked at Malachite.

"Treat her right Darien.Next time you wont get off so easily,"

"Thanx for looking after her Malachite."

"It was my pleasure."

The two gentlemen shaked hands.Announcing a truce between the two.

"Be warned Darien you were lucky.If it werent for Serry I might have just blasted you to the
moon." Haruka grinned

"Thanx Haruka I'll remember that next time."

Serena was smiling with joy everyone welcomed Darien back.Now the next issue at hand the
scouts. . . .
