any opinions that you have, I'd be glad to hear them.
Bright starbursts came from all directions as she walked down towards her
waiting black limo. Held in her hands were three golden statues shaped like
phonographs. A smile showing her perfect white teeth graced her face as she
walked down the red carpet. Her long blond hair was styled into a French twist
with curls descending from the top to gently land on her pale shoulders, petite
red roses were placed in amongst the curls. Diamond studs twinkled at they caught
the lights from the cameras. A thin platinum chain suspending a platinum rose
pendent whose center held a heart of diamonds, rested gently around her neck.
Slender rhinestone straps held a column of black silk, a slit came up mid-thigh
on her right side, carefully done in sequins and crystal beads on the front of a
dress was a blooming red rose. Caught on her elbows was a black silk wrap, the
edges of it were delicately beaded with a vine of roses.
Besides her holding one of the three golden statues was a very prominent
figure. Wrapped around her waist was his left arm as he lazily held the statue in
his right hand. Entirely dressed in black he made a stunning figure from his snakeskin
shoes to his silk tie. The only thing not black was the red rose he wore in the lapel
of his jacket. Despite the darkness of the night he was wearing sunglasses, which
concealed his face. His thick ebony hair crowning his head gave completed the image.
He looked like a creature of the night.
As she stopped smiling for the cameras the man beside her gently leaned his
forehead against her temple. Black hair fell over his glasses as they continued to walk
slowly towards the limo. Ever so gently like a butterfly he kissed her cheek. The gaze
of her brilliant blue eyes shifted from the crowd to the mysterious figure beside her.
Her red lips parted into a smile that was for him and him alone. The two started to walk
towards the limo slightly faster.
Finally after what seemed an eternity under the flash bulbs of the cameras,
they reached the limo. The female dirty blond driver ran around the side and quickly
opened up the door for the other two to enter. They sat down on opposite sides of the
limo. A resounding thud was heard as the driver shut the door. Gazing out the window the
two saw the driver run to her seat and start the car. A sigh of relief was heard from the
two in the back as the limo pulled away from the theater.
"Looks like we did good tonight, right Serena?" said the driver as she caught a
glimpse of the statuettes in the rear-view mirror.
"You bet we did Haruka," said the dramatic woman in reply as she smiled. "I'm
sorry to have kept you out so late tonight though. We can go straight home I'm not really
in the mood to party all night, and I think Michiru will be happy if you are home early."
"Well why not you won three Grammy's on your first album. I would think any person
would want to go out and flaunt it," said the dark figure as her took off his glasses to
reveal a pair of deep sapphire blue eyes.
"Not when I have an old bet to make good on, Darien," she said as she pushed the
button to place the divider between the driver and passenger parts of the limo.
Nimble fingers made quick work of his tie and unbuttoned the top button on his
shirt. Mock innocence covered his face as he said, "What bet?"
Serena laughed as she looked with her penetrating blue eyes at the man across
from her. "You might be my bodyguard now Darien, but you are still my best friend," she
said looking into his eyes. "You remember that bet, you said that if I ever won anything
for my lousy singing you would plant one of the rose bushes you spent so much time taking
care of, when we were younger, for me."
"Oh yeah I remember that bet," he said as feigned recollection. Gentle laughs
were heard as he recalled the scene between them over ten years ago…

Lost in a small garden amidst many rose bushes was young man of 13 and sitting
close to him on a bench was a beautiful young girl of 12. The two were laughing amongst
each other as the young man tended to the many rose bushes. His gaze returned to the rose
bushes. Almost staring at him from the bush was a brilliantly white rosebud. With out a
second thought he clipped it off with his shears. Turning suddenly he looked at the young
woman with the rose held behind his back.
She smiled as he walked towards her with a devilish glint in his eyes. Her gaze
was cautious as he inched towards her. Then when his face was only inches away from hers
he quickly kissed her on the forehead and pulled the rose out from behind his back. She
gently took the rose away from him and smelled the soft aroma that drifted from the rosebud.
He walked away and went back to tending the rose bushes as the young girl started
to hum the beat to a song. Then the young man said, "What's that awful noise, Serena?"
Stopping suddenly Serena looked over at the young man as she put the white rose
in her long blond hair. "If you don't like it, Darien, get earplugs," said Serena as
she looked over at Darien.
Darien stopped pruning the rose bushes and turned to look at Serena. "I bet
that you will never win an award for your singing," said Darien.
"You wanna bet?" said Serena as she stood up and walked over towards Darien.
"If I do win an award for my singing you have to plant one of your rosebushes for me."
"Deal, and if I win you have to buy me a pair of earplugs," he said looking at
her as he held out his right hand.
"You got yourself a deal," said Serena as she grabbed his hand and shook it.
Sitting back down on one of the benches in the garden Serena asked, "so how are things
going on in the flower shop?"
Turning around to continue work on the bushes he said, "things are going all
right. My parents say that they could be better but it's ok."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lost in her memories of when she was young and growing up, remembering Darien
and her always-pulling tricks on each other. Gazing out the window lost in her dream
world Darien snapped his fingers in front of her eyes.
"Huh?" she said as she looked over at Darien in alarm.
Gentle laughing was heard as Darien said, "We're home."
She looked out the window of the car and saw her mansion. Haruka got out and
opened the door for Darien and Serena. Darien got out first and held his hand out for
Serena. Taking his hand she pulled herself out of the limo. She looked over at Haruka
and said, "You can go now, oh tell Michiru that I'll see her in the morning." Nodding
as she shut the door, Haruka went back over to the driver's seat and drove the limo away.
Serena looked over at Darien and the two walked over to the mansion entrance.
Opening the large wooden doors of the mansion was a young woman with short blue hair.
She was dressed in a short sleeved, knee length black dress and a white apron. She
held the door open as Serena and Darien walked in.
Turning to the woman Serena said "Thanks Amy. Did I get any messages while I was out?"
Amy closed the doors to the mansion and said in a quiet voice "Yes you did. Raye,
your agent, called and congratulated you on the Grammy's you won. She also wants you to
call give her a call tomorrow morning. Your parents called and were also very excited,
they want you to call them as well. The Make A Wish Foundation also called and want to
talk with you."
"Ok. Thank you very much Amy," said Serena. "Unless there is anything else you
can go now."
Amy nodded toward Serena and walked off toward the direction of her room in the
mansion. Darien walked off towards the garden that was behind the mansion. Serena saw
him walk off and silently followed after him. He opened a large glass door that was
on the back of the mansion and continued to walk on. Serena watched as he continued
to walk on, following him. He walked along a stone path that lead to the garden from
the patio that was at the back of the mansion. Closed off with walls of hedges was the
garden. An arch was formed for an entrance into the garden. Within the garden were two
stone benches and between them was a fountain with water lilies growing in it. Along the
edges of the walls of hedges were many different flowers, irises, birds of paradise,
peonies, vivid orchids, morning glories climbing along the walls of hedge, and many other
brilliantly colored flowers. Placed amongst the flowers were space lights that gave a
luminescent glow to the area. He looked around the large garden and saw three vacant spaces,
all in the corners of the garden. Sitting down on one of the benches he watched the water
flow from the top of the fountain into the pool where the water lilies were floating. As he
continued to watch his mind drifted off to previous memories.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He was sitting with Serena in the garden, as they almost always were, the two of
them just enjoying the company of one another. He was 16 now and she was 15. The time was
soon after school ended for the day so Darien did not expect his parents at home for a few
hours. Serena and him were laughing at what had happened to them that day at school. Darien's
parents walked over to where the two were sitting in the garden.
His mother came forward and said with a heavy sigh, "Darien you know that we have
been having problems with the flower shop lately. Well, we have to close the store; we are
not making enough money to keep it running. I am really sorry but there was nothing more that
we could do."
His jaw dropped as he heard this. That store had been his whole life, and now
it was gone. As his mind was trying to absorb all of this it seemed like all of his
body had shutoff and was no longer under his control. Stumbling backwards a few steps
he found himself sitting on the bench besides Serena. She pulled him close to her,
letting his head fall gently on to her shoulder, wrapping her arms tightly around him
she whispered softly in his ear. Feeling his stuttering breaths as he tried to breath,
she slowly moved back and forth. Slowly he moved his arms around her trying to hold on
for something in his mind. Hearing her whispers in his ear and feeling her hand as it
held him close to her, of all the things in the world that was what he needed the most.
Silently his parents left the garden and the two alone. Pulling herself closer
to him she gently lifted his head up. Bloodshot eyes looked back at her despite the
fact that no tears were falling. The dark blue eyes just stared vacantly at her she
held him.
Darien straightened himself up while still holding on to Serena. His eyes
continued to stare into hers, both of them conveying the emotions they had always
felt in the depths of their hearts but never had the strength to let the other or
themselves know. Ever so slowly they drew the other closer to them. Softly closing
her eyes she felt his lips touch hers. Sensations ran rampant through her body. Minds
and emotions collided in a frenzy as they kissed. All they could think about was this
moment; nothing else mattered for the one brief flash. It was the most magical thing
either of them had ever experienced. For that fleeting moment they both knew what the
other was thinking, feeling, and sensing.
Both of them suddenly pulled away from the other at the exact same time. They
did not look at the other as their breaths came out heavy and stuttering. Their
breathing slowly became normal and their thoughts began to collect. Among the many
questions that were going through their minds at that moment, as clear as bell to
both of them, they both felt it couldn't be. They looked into each other's eyes
and saw the other had drawn the same conclusion. Part of them felt comfort that
this would not be acknowledged but a greater part of them cried out in anguish.
Holding him close to her again Serena placed her head on top of his. Tears
ran down from Serena's eyes, unconsciously, into Darien's thick black hair, for
the hurt she felt in her heart. Gently placing a hand on his neck she could feel
the racing beat of his heart. With his head on her shoulder Darien stared out into
the world he no longer seemed to know. Closing his eyes one solitary tear ran down
his cheek for his wounded soul.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Closing his eyes as he felt her arms sliding tenderly around him, he felt the
memories drift away. As she laid her head in his shoulder he smelt the light perfume
she was wearing tickling his nose. Darien felt her warm breath against her neck as
she softly exhaled. Her hands were placed over his heart, and she felt the gentle
beating of it against her palms. He gently put his arms over hers holding her hands
in his own.
"So Darien what were you contemplating so intently?" said Serena as she
looked towards his eyes.
He closed his eyes in an attempt to close in his emotions. "Just thinking
about the old times Serena," Darien said as he opened his eyes.
"I remember them well, so carefree, and innocent. Sometimes I felt like we
grew up too fast. But then I remember times like now and know we didn't," said
Serena as she held Darien in her arms.
The two looked into the fountain and the feelings of that one-day came
flooding back. They continued to feel that the other did not feel the same way
as they did.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Storming into her mansion with her flaming red hair streaming after her,
and eyes as red as blood, was the angriest woman of the night. Screams of rage
rang through the mansion; the servants remained hidden so as not to be in the
way of her wrath. Slamming her hand into a glass table causing it to shatter
into a million pieces, cutting her hand as she withdrew it from the broken
glass. A man followed after her, platinum blond hair covered his shoulders
in a shower. As he gently took her bleeding hand in his, ever so softly,
he began to wrap it in bandages. Rage was still evident in her eyes as her
demeanor calmed down.
"You shouldn't have done that over something so insignificant as this. Next
time you will win and then everyone will know what a wonderful singer you truly
are," said the man as he wiped the blood off her hand.
"Sweet words will get you no where all that I want is her blood
running through running through my fingers. Then will I be happy," said the
woman as her rage started to grow again.
He finished bandaging her hand and stepped away from the woman, turning
away from her he closed his eyes and sighed. "I understand it is difficult, you
being such an experienced singer and her being the new kid on the block. I also
know that you have wanted to get rid of her for a while now, and now you are willing
to do anything to be rid of her. I can help you. Being a bodyguard I know someone
for everything. But you are the one who has to make the final decision. I don't
want the blood of that woman on my hands."
"I understand and I want you to make the call to your friends. Money
is no object and it is the decision I made I want to be rid of the brat
Serena for good!" said the woman as she walked over to the man.
"It shall be done, Beryl, let's just hope that you are ready and willing
to face the consequences of your actions," said the man as he looked at Beryl.
"Malachite why would I have made this decision if I was not ready to
have that thorn removed from my side," asked Beryl as her eyes glowed.
Malachite just looked away from her not saying anything. All he
could hear was the racing beat of his heart pulsing with the anxiousness
of the job he was going to undertake now.
