"*action while talking*"
Darien sighed as he sat in his seat on the airplane. He could still hear here bawling and frowned. He concentrated on the book he held, trying to shut out that awful noise. He didn't even notice when a girl sat next to him. She tapped him on the shoulder.
"Is that book really that interesting?" She asked him with a giggle. He turned around and couldn't believe his eyes. It was her, the woman he had bumped into.
"Umm, yea, yes, no I mean, no it's not," Darien stuttered. She chuckled.
"Well, I guess you'll just have to talk to me the ride since your book isn't interesting," she said with a smile.
"You ah are sitting here?" He asked sounding a little to hopeful. 'Don't forget about Serena!' his mind yelled at him. 'How can I? I can still hear her crying,' he struck back.
"Yes I am. By the way, I'm Alyssa Majere," She said extending her hand. He looked at it dumbly then slowly shook her hand.
"Darien Chiba," he said.
"It is very nice to meet you Darien," she said.
"You too," He answered.
"Thank you for flying with us. Please do not unbuckle your seatbelts until the plane has come to a complete stop," the pilot announced.
Alyssa was asleep on Darien's shoulder. 'She's so beautiful and peaceful looking like that, I don't want to wake her up,' he thought to himself while gently stroking her hair. Her eyes flickered open.
"We're there," Darien said softly. She smiled.
"It's good to be home," She said. They got their stuff and walked of the plane.
"Where are you staying Darien?" Alyssa asked him.
"Umm, well I'm not sure yet, I was planning on a hotel," he said looking around for one.
"Better idea, you can stay at my place, I have plenty of room," She suggested.
"No, I couldn't inconvenience you," Darien said, bursting with joy.
"Trust me, its no inconvenience. I get lonely in that big house all by myself, and this way you won't have to waste your money," Alyssa said grinning.
"Are you sure?" Darien asked. Alyssa nods.
"Positive," she answered.
"Only fools are positive," He said grinning.
"Then I guess I'm a fool," She said laughing and started to take him to her house. 'Perfect' she thought.
Alyssa led him past a street full of mansions and finally stopped at the biggest one on the street.
"Well, this is it. Welcome to my humble home," She said bowing.
"This is your home? It's so big," Darien said looking at the huge house.
"Yeah, a little too big for my taste, but when my parents died they left it to me so...," She said with a frown. She opened up the gate by pushing a few buttons and taking his hand, lead him to the front door. She opened the door.
"Like a tour?" She said with a giggle.
"Yeah, sure," Darien answered looking around.
"Okay, this way she said not letting go of his hand. "This is the commons, it's like a normal house's living room, but much bigger," she said chuckling. "Here's the dining room and the kitchen," Alyssa said waving her hand to each. Taking him through the glass doors they went into the "Jungle" or the backyard. "There are many gardens out here, there's the gazeebo and the swimming pool and spa. Maybe we can go swimming later," she said smiling. He nodded. She took him back inside. She showed him around the rest of the house and stopped in front of a room. "This room here is my room," she said opening the door, letting him get a quick peek, before closing it again. She then walked to the next room and opened the door motioning him inside. "This is your room," she said. The room was huge. There was an open door that led to a huge bathroom complete with a spa and a door on the other side a room the he didn't know where it lead to.
"Wow," he said. She grinned.
"I guess you should start to unpack? Then dinner?" She suggested.
"Yeah, that would be great," he said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be next door, tell me when you're done," she said and walked out of his room. When the door closed he jumped into the air and said, "Yes!"
She closed the door softly and put her back against it. She heard his outburst and giggled softly. 'Time to report to Kitana,' she said and entered into her own room. She picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Kitana said.
"Hi Kitana, we're here and I even got him to stay at my house. His room is right next to mine," Alyssa reported to her.
"That's great, you're doing a wonderful job so far Alyssa, but I want him in your bed soon!" Kitana demanded.
"Okay okay, I'll call you the day I do it so you can get Serena up here," Alyssa said with a sigh. 'I really don't want to do this, Darien is too good of a friend, or used to be, he just doesn't remember me.' She heard a knock on the door.
"Bye," She said quickly and hung up. "Come in!" She said and the door opened to reveal her butler. "Oh, it's you John," she said. He raised his eyebrow.
"Expecting someone else? Perhaps that man in the next room?"
"Actually I was. His name is Darien Chiba, my new assignment. He'll be staying here for a while," Alyssa said.
"You know, he looks very familiar, don't you think? He looks like Prince Darien from the Silver Millenium," John said with a faraway look on his face.
"That's because it is Prince Darien," she said softly. He looked at her.
"What?" John asked.
"It is him I just know it is, but trust me, he doesn't recognize me. I doubt he even remembers me," she said looking down. John, seeing this, came over and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Alyssa, it has been a very long time since the Silver Millenium, and the moon queen, Queen Serenity erased everyone's memory, remember?" John said, trying to cheer her up.
"Yes, and somehow we remember everything. It seems strange that we can remember everything and no one else can. How do you know he does remember and that he just doesn't remember me?" Alyssa struck back.
"I don't know why we remember Alyssa, but I do know one thing: you were his best friend and his first love. He probably just needs some reminding," John said gently. Alyssa turned and hugged him.
"And now I have to do something horrible. The only reason I took this job is because I missed him. Now I have to seduce him and break Serena's heart. I was friends with Serena too, I can't hurt them like this. I still love him John and since I love him, I can't hurt him," She said crying on his shoulder. He patted her back.
"You'll know what to do when it comes up, okay?" he asked. She nodded. "Good, I'm going to tell Bessie to make enough for another person. Be strong princess, everything will turn out fine," He said, kissed her on the head and walked out of the room, bumping into Darien who was just about to knock on the door.
"Excuse me sir," John said and Darien nodded. Alyssa gestured him inside the room.
"Who was that old man?" Darien asked looking back over his shoulder.
"My butler, John," She said wiping her eyes and sniffling involuntarily. Darien noticed this.
"Alyssa, what's wrong?" He asked with a worried look on his face. She shook her head and forced a smile.
"Nothing is wrong Darien, let's go downstairs, k?" She said and took him out of the room.
"Downstairs, how did we get upstairs?" He asked. She smiled.
"When we were outside we went up stairs and then we went through a door, right? *he nods* Well, when we went up those stairs we went upstairs," She said with a giggle. Darien smacked himself on the forehead.
"Of course! I'm so dumb!" He said and laughed. They walked down the stairs and were met by John.
"Dinner is ready," He said and walked towards the dining room.
"Hope you're hungry," Alyssa said to Darien who nodded.
"Very hungry," He said with a smile. They then entered the dining room and sat down.
"This is a small table for such a big room," He said with amusement in his voice.
"Yeah, I got rid of that huge table my parents had when I was growing up. It always seemed pointless to have such a big table for just 3 people, of course it was good when there was company, but still. And now, since it's just me, it seems even more pointless, so I got rid of it. I also think this house is way too big for just one person, but it was what my parents wanted me to have, so I keep it," She said with a small smile. Some servants then brought out their food. "Thank you Carrie, Dana." She said with a big smile.
"It is very good to have you back home Alyssa," They said with smiles. She nodded and they left.
"Dig in," Alyssa said to Darien, gesturing to the food. He smiled ((A.N. they seem to be doing that a lot, lol)) and obligded. She also got some food and started eating. He looked at her, her head was down, her hair was framing her face, while she cut her steak.
"Have we met sometime before all this? It feels as if I've met you somehow," Darien said with a confused look on his face. She looked up, her face full of hope.
"Yes, yes we have," She said with a big grin. "After dinner, let's take a walk, and I'll explain it all to you," she said and went back to her dinner. Darien gave her a curious look, but nodded and went to his meal also. 'It is so strange,' Darien thought.
Author's Notes:
Well, due to my little announcement my inbox has been full of emails with support and encouragement. I also have received reviews that were all encouraging and kind. Due to this sudden support I have decided (obviously) to continue my story. I would like to thank everyone who wrote to me or wrote a review. It's good to know that the people who like my story outrule the people who don't like it. How'd you like this chapter? Did it surprise you? I know that in the prologue and in Chapter 1 I made Alyssa out as a bad guy, but she really isn't, as you can hopefully tell by this chapter. Please review!!!
