Serenity closed her eyes and a soft smile came to her lips.
:: You love him a lot ne?:: Serenity whispered to Ami with her link.
:: To eternity and beyond, but she doesn't remember, let it be.::
:: You loved her even…back then?:: Serenity was gently pushing the subject.
:: Yes, even back then. She was my life, my light. I can never love another. But she has let go of her memories, she can't remember anymore. She is at peace, let her be.::
:: She might not remember but she can still feel! Her soul is still searching for yours, don't pass the chance by! She loved you! She STILL loves you! And he loves you now!:: (Himiko: I know that I started out with 'him' and is using 'her' and 'she' It's NOT a typo! You'll find out next chapter!)
The other girls could feel that Serenity and Ami were talking mind to mind but didn't intrude because they could feel this was a private conversation.
:: That's not true! She viewed me as nothing more then a friend!!:: Ami's eyes welled up with tears. :: Nothing I did before worked and there's nothing I can do now!! There's nothing I can do…:: A tear slipped down her cheek.
:: Don't let your sorrow cover up your love for her and her love for you.::
Serenity could feel a sad smile on Ami's lips.
:: Don't try to encourage me and make me think that's its more Serenity. It won't work. What we have is eternal friendship. It's all I'll ever have.::
:: Maybe it is and maybe it's not.::
" The past is gone." Serenity said out-loud and gaze at everyone with intense flashing eyes. " The present is here and the future is always coming. Don't let your past control your future, they are two separate things. Do not mistake one for the other."
There was silence for a moment as everyone absorbed what she said.
" I think it's time we left." Hotura whispered.
The others nodded and turned to go. Ami searched Trowa's green depths with her ocean orbs and gave him a faint smile before turning her back to him. Trowa trembled as he gazed upon her back. { NO! She's leaving again. I can't let her!}
Rei walked up to Wufei and gazed softly into his hard eyes of black. She gave him a faint smile, she put her hands on his shoulders and stood on tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. " I promise never to forget you." She whispered into his ear ever so quietly. Wufei started to tremble as she got back on her feet and started to move away.
Wufei saw Trowa tackle Ami to the ground out of the corner of his eye as he grabbed Rei's wrist and spun her around and clutched her close to him. He looked down at her wide orbs with fiery eyes.
" You're not going anyway until you explain EVERYTHING!" he growled at her. {And even then, you're not going anywhere without me, Not even death! Not this time, I won't permit it!}
Trowa had tackled Ami and now he was saddling her waist and held her hands by her wrist above her head. He looked down at her with determined eyes. " You're not leaving me again. I won't let you." He said in a strong and fierce voice.
Minako and Hotura were surprised and were currently concentrating on how to help their friends and did not notice Quatre and Duo sneaking up behind them. Minako jerked as arms encircled her around her middle, including her arms. She was pushed back against a hard muscular chest. She twisted her neck to see that Quatre restraining her.
Hotura was taken by surprise as her hands were now stuck to her back. She turned her neck to see Duo holding her captive.
Serenity had been evading Heero and Millardo's attempts to catch her so far, but as she turned to look at her senshi she froze for a spilt second from seeing them all being held captive. But in that spilt second Heero managed to grab her hands and pulled her toward his chest. Heero quickly dropped his arms to encircle her waist to prevent her escape.
" Let GO!" Rei shouted as she struggled against Wufei's grip.
" Only if you promise not to escape." Wufei growled back at her.
" Please let us go! We can't stay here." Minako almost pleaded.
" Why not? Tell me the reason." Quatre said polite but strong. Minako squirmed and he strengthened his hold, pushing her closer to him.
" Duo! Stop it! Let me go!" Hotura screamed.
Duo did nothing but tighten his grip.
Trowa and Ami were silent. Each held captive by the other's eyes.
Amazingly, Serenity did not struggle; instead she closed her eyes and buried her face into Heero's shirt. Heero looked down at her and tightened his hold on her as she trembled. { I know I have to leave, but it feels so warm here, in his arms. Safe and warm. I have not felt like this since the Silver Millennium when Okaasan use to hold me when I was a child. I don't ever want to leave.}
Wufei had expected Rei to fight back at his comment but instead her eyes became teary and she threw her arms around his neck and sob. { Oh Kami-sama. I don't want to leave him again. I love him too much!}
Ami looked away first and Trowa got off of her and helped her stand up. She wouldn't look into his eyes and looked at the floor.
" Because we have to protect Serenity." Minako said whisperingly.
" Serenity's here. Stay for a while." Quatre reasoned to her.
Minako looked at Hotura who was next to her.
" I guess it won't hurt to stay for a small while…" Hotura said hesitantly.
" WOHOO!!" Duo shouted as he jumped up and down releasing Hotura. Hotura giggled as Duo's rings of hair bounced up and down. Then Duo himself felt that something didn't feel right. He raised his hands to touch his braid, but what he touch WASN'T his braid it was…
" HOTURRAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Hotura quickly ran up the stairs and out of sight. Duo wasn't about to let her go and with a growl ran after her.
The shouts had attracted the others attention and they watched Duo chase after a giggling Hotura. The girls smiled and the guys tried not to.
Minako sighed and turned to the others, her smile faltering.
" Uh…Me and Hotura decided we'd stay here for a while…" Minako trailed off at the looks the girls were giving her and the almost happiness in Heero, Trowa and Wufei's eyes.
Ami gave a small smile and after nodding her approval, turned to go. That was until Trowa grabbed her wrist. Hard. She looked up at him and searched his eyes. Then as if something had hurt her in there, she quickly looked away.
" I guess it won't really hurt to stay a little while…" she trailed off.
Serenity and Rei were the only ones that hadn't agreed. Seeing this Heero and Wufei tightened their grips on them, making them aware that they were not about to let them go until they agreed. They looked at each and gave an inward sigh.
" I guess it won't hurt." mutter Rei. Serenity gave her a smile and shook her head. She looked up to see Heero staring down at her and he tightened his grip even more. She smiled up at him with big twinkling silvery eyes.
" What made you think I'd leave?" She asked with big innocent eyes and innocent voice.
Heero and the guys almost looked stupefied as Rei, Minako and Ami snickered. (Himiko: *snicker*)
" Com'on girls! We can redecorate Relena's room!" Serenity cried happily as she bounded up the stairs. The girls laughed then ran after Serenity. The guys were left in their own trial of confusion. The guys blinked several times, looked at each, then shook their heads furiously. The thought {I don't wanna know!} echoed through their heads.
