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: I don't like Seiya dating Serena either, honestly, but it's not the last of him.

Chapter 7 - The Party Has A Secret
(Kingdom Hearts - Simple And Clean)


Everyone was at the party. Serena, Lita, Mina, Amy, Raye, Darien, and other people who hold no relevance to the storyline. Serena had broken up with Seiya (AN: Yay!). Darien hadn't spoken much to Serena since the incident. He only watched her. At the party, he was at a table with a shot glass and big bottle of alcohol which had be originally full, was now half empty, or half full. It was obvious that Darien was wasted. Mina, Lita, and Amy walked over to Darien to check up on him, on special request from Andrew.

Amy: He looks awful.

Lita: He looks drunk.

Mina: He is drunk.

Darien: He can still hear all of you. *smiling sarcastically and downing another shot*

Amy: Darien, why are you doing this to yourself? *Darien pointed towards Serena*

Lita yelled at him: Darien Shields, don't you dare get any ideas, you're drunk, and I won't allow you do such things!

Darien calmly: Please don't call me that, that's not my name. And I'm drunk, not deaf.

Mina: What is your name then?

Darien: Darien Chiba.

Amy: Chiba, as in the same family that had that horrible car accident years ago?

Darien nodded and swallowed yet another shot: I was with them, on my way to Serena's house.


Lita grabbed the bottle from Darien before he could get a refill for his glass, all while Mina was just thinking. Amy was speechless.


Mina: Why did you change your name?

Darien: I didn't, Shields is a loose interpretation for Chiba, protector. (AN: Is this true? I only read this from somewhere.)

Lita: Why did you translate it then?


Darien explained to the three of them about him being gone for six years and Serena dating Seiya and all his reasons for not wanting to 'bother' her. He was afraid if he and Serena got too close, the same thing would happen with his parents, to her. He stopped talking when Serena starting approaching them.

Serena: What are you four up to?

Amy, Lita, and Mina: Nothing, just talking.

Darien: Getting drunk.

Serena: Mr. Shields, you shouldn't be drunk at your best friend's party.

Darien got up: Don't call me that.


Just then, the door blasted open with Seiya at the doorway. Seiya went straight towards Serena.

Serena: I don't want to talk to you, Seiya. So leave me alone.

Seiya: Come on, baby, you don't mean that! *grabbing her wrist and pulling her out the door*

Serena: Ow! Let go!

Darien: She told you to let go!

Seiya: Shut up and stay out of this, drunk! *With his other hand, he punched Darien making him fall*

Darien got back up and grabbed Seiya's arm telling him louder to let Serena go.


Seiya: Is this who you dumped me for? A drunken moron?

Darien punched Seiya and tackled him into his own apartment, across from Andrew's. Serena, Mina, Andrew, and Lita followed them. Seiya kicked Darien off of him sending Darien backwards, but regained his balance lunging at Seiya, not noticing his wallet had slid open to Serena's feet. She picked it up and was about to look inside she was startled by Darien getting thrown into his lamp, shattering it. The fight went on for a bit longer until Seiya gave up storming out. Darien stook there for a moment, breathing heavily. Serena just looked at Darien.

Serena: Darien...you had no right to do that. *then left, unconsciencely still holding his wallet still*

Darien barely audible: Please, don't go.

She kept going, and he let out a sigh, then collasped.




AN: Well that's it. Darien flipped out on Seiya. Lita, Mina, and Amy knows Darien's true identity and more questions have probably been made. Well, I hope this chapter helped make people a little less stressed due to the suspense. :)


--IceBlade - Originally, I was thinking of letting Serena know earlier, but decided not to. She'll find out soon enough though. I'll let you all know that. So lindy*girl, come down off the wall now =P hehe..hope you all enjoyed it, until next time!
