Disclaimer: I don't own any of this....you know the usual routine, you don't own anything yet you don't want to be sued either...anyhow..start reading ;)
Note: Songs next to the Chapter Title is just music that....inspired me..or else I just thought it sounded good to blend with the chapter so everyone knows.
AN: In the beginning of Chapter 3, section 4, I had Darien using his English last name, Shields. That was entirely intentional, as later explained, he didn't want Serena to know it was him. And the Chibi part, that was a complete mistake which I'll correct soon. (Thanks lindy*girl for informing me of that)
Chapter 5 - Second Chance At Love
(Sailor Moon - Someone To Love)
Some things changed while others remain the same. No attacks since the park incident. Darien remained on Serena's nerves. It wasn't like he was trying to boost his own ego, it wasn't like that at all. It was the only way he could think of to talk to her, without bothering her relationship and not starting one with her as well. He felt cruelity was the only way to keep her close to him, while at the same time, far enough away to be safe. Serena, on the other hand, she wanted to have him killed at times. Other times, she was willing to do it herself. How could he be named Darien? It was as though he was tainting the saintity of the name.
Darien often went to the arcade. Considering his best friend worked there and there were batting cages. As he entered this day, he bumped into Serena, having to catch her. She felt so light in his arms, but the fact that she was in his arms...wonderful.
Darien: Try not making this a regular habit, Seiya may think there is something between us going on. *Then reluctantly forced himself to let her go and continued on his way to the batting cages.*
Serena: Then don't walk into me. *She watched him starting to hit. Andrew got her usual snack and she got ready to eat it. As she sat there, she thought, 'He's so gentle, I almost didn't want him to let me go.' She was brought back to reality by Andrew.*
Andrew: Don't over do the curse on him. *laughing*
Serena looking at Andrew: Huh, no, I wasn't doing that to him. I was just thinking...
Andrew: Oh? Usually nothing gets between you and my sundae, this must have been very important.
Serena: Oh, stop. Nothing got in the way.
Andrew: I see. So you're just saving the melted ice cream for later?
Serena looked at her sundae: Don't start. *finishing her "soup" off, she was getting ready to leave when she bumped into Darien, yet again. She hadn't noticed that he stopped.*
Darien: Do you like touching me?
Serena: Get real.
Andrew thinking: Here they go again...
Serena was about to continue her aggression when an explosion was heard outside. She knew it was time to see if her training would come through for her. She made up an excuse and ran out leaving Darien standing there. Darien left right after thinking, 'That was too close, I almost kissed her when I caught her.'
As Serena ran to the source of the explosion, she ducked in an alley shortly to transform. When she arrived to the scene, she met up with the other four scouts who were already there.
Venus: Nice to see you.
Moon: I had to deal with a bumpy ride.
Mercury just finishing her analysis: I-it's the same monster from the park.
Jupiter: I guess we're going to have to show him that we're a lot better than before then, won't we?
Mars: Right! Let's do it!
Like before, the monster was well prepared to get into a battle with the fight. He picked up a car and hurled it at Mars. She dove out of the way and shot a fireball at him. It had no affect upon him, not because he's that strong, it was only that he had gotten another car to get between the fireball. This time, he took the car, now on fire, and threw it in the direction of Mercury. Mercury used a bubbly attack to push the car out of the way and focused the bubbles into a flow of water which hit the monster. Just as she cut the water supply off, Jupiter sent a lightning charge, sending shockwaves through him. Weakened, he stepped back, and shot four beams of energy. Mercury was hit and stunned, Venus dove behind a car, but the beam hit the car causing an explosion which pushed her against the wall and knocked the wind out of her. Mars managed to avoid the beam and send a firewave at it, but it cut through and hit her too. Jupiter had gotten rid of her pest and joined up with Moon again.
Moon: He's going to make this tough, isn't he?
Jupiter: Seems like it.
The monster flung himself at the two girls, but they jumped out of the way. He prepared to charge up for an energy attack. Sailor Moon was still getting up when he released the attack. Tuxedo Mask grabbed Sailor Moon and brought her out of danger, and got a rose out ready to attack.
Tuxedo Mask: Once again fiend, you fail to realize that you can never win, nor shall I allow you to harm the one whom has stolen my heart. For you face, once again, the Knight Of The Moonlight, I, Tuxedo Mask! *and with that said, he sent his dart rose at the monster*
The rose embedded itself deep into his arm and he let out an agonizing cry. It definately didn't sound human. Keeping his arm around Sailor Moon and pulled her closer, with his other hand, reached for his cane prepared to swing and duel the monster. But it wasn't necessary because Sailor Jupiter kicked the wounded monster, making him fall back. The monster growled at the three of them and once again, disappeared from them. Tuxedo Mask dropped his cane and winced at the burn he got on his arm, probably from the energy blast.
Sailor Jupiter turned around and faced the other two: You two look like you'd make a cute couple, but who are you?
Tuxedo Mask: I am the protector and knight of the moonlight, as I've said before. I am here to protect Sailor Moon, as you are, except I don't have a squadron to back me up, only this. *He pulled out a rose, and placed it in the hand of Sailor Moon.* You have my rose within your grasp, my heart within your reach. Fear not upon these fiends, for you shall triumph over them once you've gained your full and true powers.
Sailor Moon: Thank you, once again. *then leaned up to kiss him.*
Tuxedo Mask returned her kiss, but then suddenly broke it and leapt away.
Tuxedo Mask as he left: Call my name, and I'll be there. I believe in you, Sailor Moon, you shall triumph!
Sailor Jupiter looked at Sailor Moon: Should you be doing that?
Sailor Moon: Hmmmm...*obviously still on cloud nine.*
Jupiter: Kissing him while you're dating someone else, I think his name is Seiya?
Moon snapping back to reality: Huh, uhh...well....i-it's not like it's going to be a regular thing, it's only the second time.
Jupiter: Second? I've never seen him before.
Moon: Second? I mean first!
Jupiter: Is that where you got that rose from, at the park, from him?
Moon ducked her head down: Y-yes.
Jupiter put her arm around her: Hey, no long faces. I think he's a lot better looking than Seiya, and his mask makes him mysteriously sexy. If I were in your place, I don't think I would have stopped at just the kiss.
Moon smiled: So what's wrong with Seiya?
Jupiter sighed: Knew I said the wrong words. Nothing's wrong with him.
AN: So who is this Tuxedo Mask? No one knows? Well, no one should know, there was no indication of it. You can think what you want, but is it going to be right? I could have changed the characters around a bit. Only one minor problem awaits, do I want Kenji to hate Darien, or not? Minor details to be sorted out later though. Hope the battle was entertaining enough while at the same time, quick enough.
--Avalonic aka IceBlade - Is the battle too drawn out? Probably is, if he keeps running away, he's going to start looking like he's stronger than the five of them. I don't know though, any suggestions from anyone? I'm going to be starting on Chapter 6 now. Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter, until next time! @--- *Ha, a rose..*
