CHAPTER 4
REPAYMENT

* ~ * ~ *
(Mix)

At Hiwaka Jinja (MIAMIGI: hai, I know since I use Dic names here,
I shouldn't use Japanese name for the temple. But..your favourite
dummy author forgot the English name of the temple...*blush*
What was it? Cherry Blossum Temple?), the blue-haired genius
laid her glasses on the table. Slowly staring up from her computer
, she said to the anxious *couple* (MIAMIGI: *evil grin* y'all know
who I'm talking 'bout,ne?), and for silent girls who stood beside them.

" The computer says that perhaps the apartment where Serena and
Darien live in can produce some sort of magnificent power, which
affects to certain things in certain ways. Mybe that's the reason
of their mind-linking, only when they are way emotional, that is."

Nervousness and scare surged both on Serena's face and in her
heart. She swallowed her saliva a bit, and protest carefully.

" But why? That apartment is just like any others, just more
disgusting. Plus, if it IS correct, why aren't we hearing each
other's thoughts right now? I have no idea what Darien's thinking
about. Besides..."
"Beside, we are not IN the apartment. So why it still affects on us?
AND, why did it starts TODAY? We've been living together
for a few weeks!" Darien interrupted her. His forhead was soaked
, with the bangs sticking on it, by the perspiration which had not
stop since the scene occured in the ladies' room.

Ray constantly stood up. She told them that since Amy's computer
could not help much, she would try her fire reading. But the answer
was the same: the unusual power from the apartment. Serena
and Darien quietly left the temple after a while, leaving the four
girls behind.

Making sure they were out of sight, Lita asked,

" Are you sure there's nothing more?"
" You stupid Street Fighter! OF COURSE there's more than what
Amy-chan and Ray-chan told them! Can't you sense that they
two were holding back something? Right? " Mina screeched.
"We can never lie to you 'bout *LOVE*, Mina-chan," Ray
replied, slyly implying some improtant information.
" Now all of you know something I don't know?! Spill
or become pulp!" Lita showed a certainty of dislike to be left
out. She folded the sleeves up and acted as if she was really
going to beat them up.
" Don't worry, but you have to promise that never to let the
cat out the bag....."


(Darien)

He turned to to look at the worried blonde who sat regardfully
beside him in his sports car. It's obvious that she wanted to
be as far away from him as possible, since her entire body
was practicular glued with the car door. He was grumbling
inside his head:

' We can't go on like this! I have to come up with a solution
to stop this unbearable, cold, silent war! All right now, muffin
dummy, tell me what you got...'

"Hey Serena-san, I was wondering that..."Befor he had an
opportunity to finish, he was short-cuted by Serena.

" If this is about some kind of tease, please save your energy.
I really don't need this torment as a nourishment right now.
To be acurate, I NEVER want it." She stared at him as-matter-
of-fact, while using the most genuine tone she had.

It was like thousands of daggers had dissected his heart when
hearing this.

' Shinji nai! Am I really a selfish, prideful hypocrite? Matte! Why
am I feeling butterflies in my stomach?! ...I'll figure this out later,
first thing first.'

" Iie, Serena, you've taken it the wrong way! I would call you
Meatball head if I play with you, ne? What I did want to
ask you is to go out with me. For a dinner, a movie, whatever,
it's your choice."

She looke at him unbelievingly. When he asked her on a date,
she felt all the torture had turned into jubilance, as if she was
a flying angle landing on heaven. It took her a couple of seconds
to come back into reality.

" Iie..I mean hai, but doo shite? I thoguht we were the worst enemies
in planet Earth?!"
" *Were*, Serena. After all these, I think we really need to be friends
and cooperate together. Imaging enemies reading each other's thoughts?!
Too much for me!"
" So you meant this date as.."
" Iie, not a date. At least not a boy-'n-girlfriends kind. More like a
celebration of finding loyal friends. So do you accept it? Come on,
don't let a guy wait long!" He quickly denied the true motivation of
asking her out. This is him, never lose his face.

Sadness passed over her. Just at the moment of joy for being
asked on a date, she was slapped right straight on her cheeks
emotionally.

' I knew it was too good to be true...'

Even though she was reluctant to go anywhere at that time, she still
said OK and they planned to go to a MTV. (MIAMIGI:no,
it's not the MTV channel that minna-chan like to watch. It's
like a theather, but smaller and more private.) Darien remarked
that he would be having a major exam next week, so set the
date as close as possible. Serena consented to his opinion of
going out right then, and the next thing you know, they are
sitting on a couch in the MTV room, alone in the dark.

" So, Darien, what do you want to watch?" she asked.
" It's your deicson, remember?"

As he shut his mouth, a pair of intoxicated couple rushed into
the door, soon the room was filled with confusion. Darien
pulled Serena behind him in order to protect the holy angle
of his,while those two lunatics shooted simultaneously,

" Who the heck are you two suckers and what are you doing
in my place?! Get the hell out of here and let my babe watch
her Titanic!"

The last thing Darien needed by then was insults. He became
ferious, including his blood-shoted eyes and the fiery face.

" Titanic your butt! Listen minors, I rented this room, I paid
for the movie, so you two get your ass out before I do!"
He took off his shirt regardlessly, ready to walloped them, but
did not notice the outlandish motion Serena had on her face.
Obviously the couple were just some swindlers who were
lack of money. They were frightened and ran far away
crookedly.

" So, what do you want to see again?" He asked firmly.
There stood a devasted young girl who glared at him
incredulously.

" You were... They were... I was...You are..." she paused
for a few minutes, then continued," let's just watch Titanic,
then."

He strained to hold back the laughters.

" Ti..i..Titanic?! I thought no one even want that after last
millenium!"
" Well, you have an alternative: Titanic or we'll still be enemies."
"... you sly little rabbit."

They kept in silence until the part Jack started to draw Rose's
nude body. Both of them swallowed hard and began to exchange
glances. When their eyes constantly met, there was no way to
elude what was destined to happen.

' Should I do it? She seems so unsophisticated..demo I am out
of control!!' He exclaimed inside his thoughts.
' Do it, I'm yours.'
' Huh? We're mind-linked again?'
' Shut up and do what ever you want!'

He grabbed her wrist ruthlessly and pulled her closer, till there was
only approximately an inch between their nose tip. They breath
faster and faster as he was magnetized by the quavering beauty
in front of him. His full, delicious-looking lips drew towards hers.
When they touched, a sense of excitement was magniflied and
they all felt like volanoes which would erupt in no time.

' Darien...'
' Serena...'

Their tongue started to play with the other. He hold her up and
laid her beside the wall. She tried to push him over as
consciousness and conscience quickly came over her. He was
not expecting such an accidental move from her. Reluctant to
let go, he continued the making-out.

' Let me go, Dare, it's not right.'
' But it seemed so right to me, Little Rabbit. 'Sides, I like it when
call me Dare.'
' Demo...'

Knock, knock.
" Sir, Madam, your time's up! So *WHATEVER* you're doing
inside, please stop directly and leave." The attendant smirked
slyly at the last remark.

Darien groaned. He put on the shirt, which he had taken off when
the drunk people came in, and opened the door.

" Come on Meatball head, time to go."

Serena was still in shocked, unsure of herself about what had taken
place just a moment ago. Straining to move her feeble legs, she
walked up to the car and questioned him physically.

" I thought we would be friends under one condition, which is
never call me Meatball head again?"
" Well, now we're more than friends, ne?"


(Serena)

She had been walking up and down in her room for the
whole night. Unable to sleep, she was pondering deeply.
Serena had considered of talk with Darien about the
accident at MTV several times, but never once had
the guts to even open up her own door. Actually,
kissing or no kissing, it was not the main problem.
It was the feeling she discovered inside herself when his
hungry, yet dynamic midnight blue eyes entered her body
at MTV. It was unexplanable, even unthinkable to image
that she could have that for ANYBODY, especially for HIM!

' Is this *LOVE*? Baka Serena, you don't even know what's
that! ...But if it's not love, then what else can it possibly be?'

She sat gently on the queen size bed, which was covered
by a pink-based sheet with white snow flakes on it.

' All right, Serena-chan, stop being a coward and go talk to
him! What can be worse than it already is?! Now no more
stalling and force yourself to knuck on his door!'

As she turned the knob with he shilvering hands, her eyes
sparkled with glimmers by what she saw at the doorway. There
stood Darien, half-naked with precisely on his boxer on. His
arm hung in the air, it was conspicuous that he was about to
knuck on the door also.

He cleared his throat.

" Um, Serena.."
" I personally think we got to discuss some serious, unavoidable issue."
" Same here."

Serena brought him to the bed and they sat down. Before she could
vocalize, he had already held her small, soft hands tightly, and begun
to confess what he had in mind.

" Serena-chan, I have a confession to make."
" Darien, I also..."
" Iloveyou."

She felt her heart constricted, hard enough to let her stop respirate.
At the same time, drops of surprise combined with joy rolled down
her cheeks uncontroalbly. When she finally recovered her trembled
voice, she asked hopefully,

" You truly mean that?"
" Hai. I just wanted to tell you that ever since that day I made you
at the arcade, I had fallen constantly in love with you, even though
I was unaward of it. The time I saw you in pink towel, I smelled
this unusually sweet scent in the atomosphere and I know it wasn't
from your body. Um, not you are stink or any.."

She chuckled, which sent Darien to Wonder Land.

" Yea, I get ya, Dare."
"............"
" Dare?"
"....Huh? OH! Gomen nasai, I was...ANYWAYS! I smelled the sweetness
but since it was unfamiliar, I got scared. That's why I always go back home
late. I wasn't sure of myself at MTV, but after all these thinking I've been doing
tonight, I found myself helplessly in love with you."

* ~ * ~ *

Hai, I know this chapter is kinda different from the last three.
This was suppose to be a *puppy love* thing,
but I decided that, well, a bit *R* won't hurt much.
