Seductive
By RuneVenus
Tossing and turning in her bed. All thoughts back to him. His blue eyes with It's tender glow. The way he held her face between her hands and kissed her tenderly. He said he loved her didn't he? The way her heart lit up at that fact. For she loved him too, deep down inside. A world without him she could not bare to be in. Wasn't this love? Her instincts told her so and every particle in her body shivered and burned with the fire of passion for him.
She woke up suddenly, beads of perspiration running down her brow. It was a dream. Everything was a dream. He in fact did not love her. He in fact had rejected her. The painful memory in which he said, "this was wrong". Even it was only a few hours ago, his voice was impregnated into her memory. Hot tears flowed down her face. Why was she crying?
She buried her face into her pillow muffling the sounds of her heartache. Thank God Luna was at Mina's having a sleep over. She wasn't in the mood to explain anything to anyone. She just wanted to be asleep. Warm and secure. Normal. Not caring about all the responsibilities that she had. Her worries, her miseries everything came out as sob after sob wracked her body. It was his entire fault. It was ALWAYS his fault.
She loved him. She did not know how it had happened but she loved him. The feelings she felt in her dream were pure and true. They still reflected how she felt now. Love burning for him. She had always believed that dreams were the voices of her inner yearnings and it was true. The moment he pushed her away was the moment all warmth left her body. Darien the guy who was annoying, the guy that was a complete jerk to her all the time was now something more after that kiss they had shared. She had felt that somehow he could protect her. That with him she would be safe. She would be normal and most importantly she would be loved. She would know that no matter what, he would love her and that he would be awaiting for her to come home from those dangerous Sailor moon missions, even if he did not know about them. The thought of coming home to him, to be with him, would fuel her in any fight to win but alas this was mere speculation. This was not reality. She did not have him. He did not want her and she was too tired to think anymore.
As the moonbeams highlighted her silhouette, her eyes closed, her hands clutching the pillow. She went back to her dreams where he lay, arms awaiting hers.

Serena woke up begrudgingly, one look at the alarm clock and she knew she was late. "AH!!!! I'm so late!!!!!! Rei's going to kill me!!!" She quickly rang to the bathroom and went through her morning routine. After she had dressed she had run down stairs and out the door. Her mother watched her go, a smile forming on her face as she shook her head. Even on a Saturday she was late for something.
"AHH I'm so dead" she screamed making people look at her as she ran by. 'STUPID DARIEN it was his fault again!' If she hadn't cried about him last night she would have woken up earlier. Well as early as she normally woke up on a Saturday, which was about 12, but today she slept until 1 and the meeting was at 12:30! It was 1:30 by the time she left the house. She was already an hour late. She felt Rei breathing down her neck already! Serena saw the arcade up ahead so she slowed down. Her thoughts went back to him. She thought about how she had come to the conclusion that she loved him. What if he was there today? Would she act differently? She sighed. Least she didn't feel unhappy about the knowledge anymore. She wasn't happy that he had rejected her but now after a good nights sleep, she could deal. 'I cant be happy 365 days a year' She nodded to herself. After she had that good cry and sleep, she felt much better but at night she knew those feelings for him, the unrequited love would consume her. The need to come home, to belong was something she needed not only because she was a girl but also because she was Sailor moon. It was important. She could die the very next day and he would never know, he would never love her like she would. Maybe she would tell him?
The doors slid open and she snapped out of the trance she was in. She looked around for the 4 girls. Sure enough she saw him first. He had his back to her and she merely slipped passed him to one of the booths down the back where she could see a familiar set of heads.
"SERENA" Rei yelled out "Well look who decides to show up!" Rei smirked finding it rather humorous that everyone was looking at the pigtailed girl. She quickly sat down and glared at Rei. "SORRRRY but it's not my fault that I couldn't sleep last night!" It wasn't it was the jerk's! Not that she was going to tell Rei that.
Both Lita and Mina giggled and Ami just smiled quietly.
"Anywayz" Serena spoke "Are we going to that festival today? Isn't it the moon festival? OHH I CANT WAIT!!, we're going aren't we PLEASY PLEASE!" "Yes Serena if you had showed up earlier, you would know when and where we were meeting but I guess if you snooze you loose" Rei smirked again knowing that Serena would start whining. It was so much fun teasing her! "REEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Serena whined and Rei laughed out. "HMPH, FINE! I'll go by myself!" Serena said going into her stubborn mood. "Nah meatball head you can come with me....I do owe you a day of treats...cause I lost that bet of yours" Darien piped in allowing his arm to casually wrap around her shoulder, whilst he slid into the seat next to her.
'Darien...' She seemed startled and looked over at him instantly. The arm that wrapped around her was emanating warmth through her. How she wanted to be buried deep in his embrace. She wanted to move closer into him, for him to take her in his arms, for them to be one of those loving couples. She saw the look on her friend's faces and decided to react or they would know that something was up with her.
"Get your hands off me dweeebmister" She removed his arms off of her. "Hey! When did I become a dweebmister?" He asked curious. He had to act normal like nothing happened. If he had any sense, he would have forgotten the bet but he still wanted to be with her. He still wanted to be near her. This was the only way without it being obvious. He would live up to the agreement he had made and then let her go......forever. "Since now DWEEBMISTER" she poked her tongue out at him and resumed to ignore him.
"Serena? What's this bet you won??" Mina asked curiously. "huh?? umm..." How would she answer? How could she tell her friends that he had kissed her? Before she could reply Darien interrupted. " I told her if she didn't klutz out for a whole day I would treat her out...who knew she would win?" Darien chuckled lying through is teeth. He had to help her out. She looked helpless and confused. He really was a jerk. He knew she had hurt when he had rejected her but she must have been confused when she willingly kissed him. How could she willingly want him ever, after how he behaved with her, how he teased her? Deep down he knew she hated him.
"ohhhh if that's the case Serena, you better go with Darien!! FREE FOOD, you couldn't turn down free food!" Mina said smiling at both of them. Her love waves were telling her that something was up. She wasn't sure what it was but she knew she had to push these too. "Fine! Only cause he owes me" Serena said while glaring at Darien. She didn't mean it; inside she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Happy that she was going to be spending time with him or sad that the more time she spent the more she would love him and when the day was up she would not have him anymore.
"Okay then it's agreed we guys will go together and meet Serena and Darien at the festival. Meetings adjourned! LETS GO TO THE MOVIES!" Lita said enthusiastically "Yeah!" everyone replied in unison.
"So I'll pick you up meatball head?" He looked at her intently. "No! We'll meet there....near the lake. AND REMEMBER dweeeebmister...you can't call me meatball head either" she poked a finger in his chest. Her dad hadn't seen him drop her off yesterday thankfully but she wasn't going to push her luck. The lake would be fine, plus not being in his car would mean not being in an enclosed space, where anything could happen. Yes, meeting at the lake was the best idea. "Fine! Only if you stop calling me dweeeebmister" Darien moved in closer, looking her in the eyes. "Deal" Serena said as she quickly pushed him aside and went to catch up with her friends. She couldn't get that close to him because she knew she would slip. She might show her real feelings for him and he would just pity her. Treat her differently because he could never love her like that. Never.
****
The lake was beautiful at that time of night. The way the moon was reflected by it. How it rippled when the delicate petals of the cherry blossoms fell onto it. It was breathtaking. Serena closed her eyes and breathed the air. She could hear the merry sounds of children laughing at the back of her where the festival was going on. She felt the wind stir as it kissed her with its cool breeze, gently picking up her hair at times. This was bliss; the only thing missing was him.
He stood behind her absorbing the beauty that stood in front of him. She seemed so peaceful, so very beautiful. She was dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono. The ocean blue colour of the fabric highlighted her creamy skin and her golden hair. With silver embroidery imbedded into the kimono she looked like a moon goddess waiting to arise to the skies. She must have heard him take a step because she had turned her head and looked at him with her sky blue eyes. She was amazing.
"Serena" was all he could utter.
She smiled up at him, her lovely blue eyes shinning with so much emotion. "Darien, your late" For a split second she felt as she had relived a moment of her past. Everything felt like they were a loving couple. The way his eyes watched her, they way her heart sang. She shook the feeling away.
"Well Mr Hot Shot....guess there's a first time for everything huh?" she giggled humorously. "Come on Serena....we're missing the party" He grabbed her hand and held it within his. He started to guide her through to the celebrations. Everyone was crowded around a big bonfire. The play of the moon goddess Serenity had started. The fire was all around the girl who was playing Serenity. It signified the sacrifice that Serenity had made for all mankind. She had stopped a terrible evil by using her power, and finally that power had destroyed her. However because she was kind and gentle hearted Kami took pity on her and let her light shine throughout the world. She would forever look over us in her own heaven. The light she shone down showed her happiness to us. The moonbeams of Serenity.
As the play was progressing, Serena felt like this story was familiar somehow? 'Maybe mom told me this story when I was little' She shrugged off the feeling again and the huge fire burning in the centre caught her attention.
Fire.
Warmth.
Heat.
Passion.
A shiver ran down her body, it was cooler now than before. She let go of his hand and stepped closer to his warmth. He replied by putting an arm around her shoulder and bringing her closer. She closed her eyes. She wanted to be here. She didn't want to be any place but here. She felt warm and comfortable. Her hand clutched at the material where she was holding him. Her head buried in the side of his chest. She slowly looked up and met his dark blue eyes. Her heart beating rapidly at what she saw in them. Passion and in her own she knew that it was reflected too.
