When the Sun's Rays Dance off your Face 9

PS- here's a little thing I'll let you in on- I dun own Sailor Moon and its characters. Got it?

" Boo." A deep voice whispered, sending shivers down Serena's back.

" Darien?" Serena whispered back, once her nerves got under control.

" Darien!" Beryl cried shrilly.

Serena felt the warm arms around her being yanked back, leaving her in the blackness and coldness.

" Oh, do stay close to me. I'm so affright. This is such horrible enough to make one's blood run cold." Beryl cooed into Darien's ears pulling him closer to her.

" Serena?" Aydrian whispered, trying to move back onto the couch.

Surprisingly there was enough space. " There you are hunny." He said, finding a warm body, and wrapping his arms around the…...the very hard, and solid feeling body?

" Whoah. Hey buddy, I don't float that boat." Darien cried pulling away from both Beryl and Aydrian's arms, making the siblings fall onto one another.

Aydrian was the first to pull back from his sister. " Hey, where's Serena then?" he asked, squinting trying to see through the blackness.

[Whoosh!] Moonlight permeated trough the room. Standing near the pentagon window, was a thin girl with long hair, down past her waist.

Her face was shadowed in the darkness, but the moon's milky white rays gave just enough light for the group to be able to tell who the girl was.

" Serena!" Darien whispered. He'd never seen her so beautiful. Not even in her bathing suite. The shimmery, golden hair moving slowly from the gentle breeze coming from the open window to the twinkle her deep blue eyes, it was all beautiful. An unfamiliar feeling washed through him. " What is this?" he thought not liking the unfamiliar pang in his heart.

" KABOOM!" the thunder roared.

" Ahhhh!" Serena wailed, running away from the window. Rain suddenly pelted from the suddenly black sky, which was a nice shade of navy before.

With quick and large strides, Darien quickly whisked Serena into his arms. Muffled sobs were heard, as well as soothing words.

" Sere? Are you alright?" Amy asked returning to snuggle next to Greg after she closed to window.

" Yeah. We're here for you. Don't worry." Lita said from underneath the wool blanket wrapped around her and Ken.

" Yup. No worries, be happy! Want some popcorn?" Mina chirped, still running her hands through Andrew's hair.

" Meatball head's okay. After all- CHAD!" Rei shrieked, as warm hands came around her.

" I thought you were cold." Chad said defensively.

"I [hit] am [HIT] NOT!" Rei said hitting the poor boy in the dark.

" Want a blanket?" Chad said, holding up the wool blanket as a peace offering.

" Fine." Rei said, promptly curling up to the happy boy under the warm, wool blanket.

" Everyone got a blanket?" Mina asked from underneath hers with Andrew.

" No." Serena, Darien, and Beryl chorused.
" Here, Serena. We'll share." Aydrian smiled evilly, holding up a wool blanket.

" Actually, wool makes my skin itchy. Why don't you share with your sister? Darien and I can find another blanket. I think there is a cotton one in the girls side." Serena said thoughtfully, ignoring Aydrian's disappointed look.

" Let's look." Darien whispered, taking her hand, and leading her to the girl's room door.

" Come here Beryl." Aydrian sighed.

" Where's Darien and that witch?!" Beryl cried, as Darien and Serena quickly closed the girl's room door behind them.

" That was a close one." Serena whispered to Darien, pulling away from his hands. The heat was just unfamiliar to her, and she didn't like it. They walked along quietly side by side down the melancholy hallway.

" Ouch!" Serena cried, as her foot ran slammed against a wall.

Darien pulled her closer to him. " Stay with me, okay?" he whispered, drawing the shaking blonde to him.

They continued down the hallway. It wasn't so melancholy anymore, in each other's arms and warmth.

" I think this is my room." Serena said, pushing the heavy wooden door open.

Moonlight spilled open from the big window to the north of the room. A canopy bed, with a white blanket with pink flowers scattered over it, was adjacent to the window. There were lacy curtains that covered the double doors to the backyard. Another door led to the bathroom. Serena went to the bureau and took out some clothes.

"I'm going to change into the pjs. I'm cold." Serena said, before quickly going into the bathroom and closing the door. She was suddenly surrounded in darkness. Cursing herself for not thinking first, she tried to put on her clothes. Her nervousness had driven her to this. Finally, she thought she had all her clothes on orderly.

Darien was sitting on the canopy bed, staring out to the moon. The bathroom door creaked open. Slipping out of it was a shy Serena, tugging on her clothes as if they didn't fit right.

She was dressed in a long white nightgown. It had long flowing sleeves and just grazed her feet. The bottom was layered and trailed behind her in lacy waves. She had an ivory brush in one hand. Sitting on the vanity, she squinted at herself in the mirror. She couldn't see a thing. Taking her hair out of her meatballs, it flowed down to the floor. Cursing at herself, she tried to brush it. She wasn't used to brushing her hair in the darkness.

With eyes wide open, Darien saw the golden hair tumble into a mass onto the floor. He could hear curses as the girl tried to brush her hair in the dark. Since the moonlight hit her hair, he could see more clearly. Taking the brush calmly out of her hand, he ran it over the hair. He nearly gasped as he felt the hair on his hand. It was like running his hands through silk and satin.

Serena held in a breath, as she felt gentle hands caressing her hair. Then a brush swept her hair, detangling it. She hoped it never stopped, as she closed her eyes and sighed at the comfort.

Of course it had to stop. Darien slowly put the brush back onto the vanity. In surprise, Serena stood up and turned around.

Her hair reached just past her knee. In her soft, white nightgown, she looked like a princess. Her eyes were soft as they roamed over the young man staring at her. There gazes connected and locked. Serena was the first to look away, awed by the dark blue and love in the eyes. Darien quickly turned around and grabbed the thick cotton blanket.

" Ready to go back?" he asked holding up the rose smelling blanket.

Serena made up her mind. " No." she said clearly.

All ready moving towards the door, Dairen stopped at the words.

" What?" he said, turning slowly around to yet again stare at the exquisite sight in front of him.

" I said no." Serena whispered with a smile, as she slowly sauntered towards him.
