A Love For All Time
Chapter 2: Simple Shock....and Mina
By: Amethyst
"Okay Maxwell,
why didn't you tell us you had a sister?" asked Wufei.
"Um, well, you
see, I kinda forgot until now," said Duo.
"You forgot me!
Oh, how could you Duo! All that time I thought you loved me!" whined
Serena.
"Sere, calm down,
I mean, I was six then. Did you think I was going to remember much?
Especially after they took me away?" asked Duo.
"Screw them.
That's why they're dead now. Besides, I'm special," she said, pouting
slightly.
"Sere, let me introduce them first. The one with the gun is Hiiro Yuy, the one with the bangs is Trowa Barton, the one that looks real innocent is Quatre Winner, and the one with the ponytain that keeps calling women onnas is Wufei Chang," introduced Duo.
"She can't stay with us," said Heero, in his usual monotone voice.
"And why not?" she asked, a frown marring her face.
Duo looked his sister in the face. "Sere, I have different life now, a very dangerous life, and I don't want to see you hurt." he said.
"But you haven't seen me since I was six. You don't know what I can do now," she said smirking.
"Onnas are weak. They cannot fight anyone," said Wufei.
Serena looked him in the eyes. "Oh really? Well, you're going to see one woman who can beat your sorry behind," she said.
Wufei snorted.
"Try me."
"Moon Crystal
Power!" she yelled. Feathers and light surounded her, and when the
light faded, there Sailor Moon stood, miniskirt (definetly a miniskirt)
and all. The guys eyes bugged out, except for Duo's, as he covered
his sister. The guys had nosebleeds.
"What are you wearing?! Don't you know how reavealing that is?" he yelled. She looked down at her outfit and blushed a deep pink. To fit the environment, her fuku had changed into a SHORTER blue skirt, and a skin-tight pale pink shirt. She quickly detransformed.
"Oh my gosh, that did not happen! Curse you Mother, and you too Pluto, 'cause I know that you designed these stupid outfits! They were supposed to stay the same!" she yelled up to the sky. Trowa helf his nose and turned to Serena.
"Thanks for changing back. Do you have a hankerchief?" he asked. She nodded, and took a emerald green one from her space pocket.
"Ooops, not that
one! I gotta give that one back later on." she said. She then
proceeded to take out several others, including a pale lavender one, a
dark blue one, a black and yellow bandanna, until finally, she took out
a pale pink one and handed it to him. (Selenity: I wonder where she
got all of those hankercheifs and that bandanna? Hmmmm............)
(Amethyst: I KNOW, I KNOW! From Trunks, and Goku, Ryouga and who
knows who else!)
Hiiro held his
nose. "That's another reason she can't stay with us," he said.
Serena pouted, and Heero took out his gun. "Don't make me kill you," he said.
"If you do, I'll annoy you by healing myself and bugging you just as much as Duo must do, and probably even more," she said sweetly. Hiiro quickly put away the gun.
Suddenly, they all heard a yell. "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Relana. They instinctly covered their ears.
"Damn, it's the pacifist bi**h," muttered Duo. Serena was about to ask who that was, when Hiiro hid behind Serena as a girl with light brown hair approched.
"Who are you?" asked Relena suspiciously. Serena could sense that this girl liked Hiiro, but that Hiiro didn't like her, to the point where he was hiding behind her. She decided to have a little fun.
"I'm Serena Yuy, Hiiro's wife. And I'd like for you to leave my husband alone. Our daughter doesn't like it," she said, laughing internally. Her eyes weren't focused on Relena's reaction though. It was more focured on a certain boy with brown hair covering his eyes, looking at her intently.
All that was heard was.....
"Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're
his what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I never knew she was that crazy for him," said Duo, chuckling. Relena turned to Hiiro. "Why didn't you tell me you were married?!" she exclaimed. "You never asked," he said quietly.
--------------------------------------------
Over the next few days, Serena stayed with the guys in one of Quatre's mansions. (Selenity: Any clue how many he has? I could do with one!) (Amethyst: You too? Shoot, I have the apartment life!) One night, after dinner, Serena went out on the balcony, just to think.
'I wonder if the others even realize I'm gone. Most likely they did. No doubt Rei will yell at me when I get back. IF I get back. I don't think I could stay here, it's just weird. Knowing that your brother's Shingami, and you're the total opposite of that doesn't help much either. Mina, gosh, I wish you were here with me so I wouldn't have to do this on my own. I'm hear for a reason, I know it.' she thought.
"You wish has been granted," a voice whispered in the wind. Serena turned around to see Mina in the flesh, looking around, totally lost.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Mina!!!! Thank you Selenity!" Serena exclaimed, hugging her cousin.
"Serena? Where are we? What's going on?" asked Mina, confused.
The two poceeded to walk to her room, ad plopped on her bed, as Serena began her tale of the past few days.
"So, you mean to tell me that Duo's here, and you've been living with 4 other kawaii looking boys for the past few days?" Mina asked. Serena nodded.
"You should have summoned me sooner! You know when we were younger I had the biggest crush on your brother. Even when we used to sit around and act like we were just innocent little 4 year olds. We were some intelligent little girls," Mina pointed out.
"Okay, I get the point Mina, you want to see him. Okay, but I'm warning you, if Hiiro pulls out a gun on you, and threatens to knock your block off, don't say I didn't warn you," Ssrena stated, as the two headed down to the living room.
"Hey guys, I've got a surprise for you. Especially you Duo," Serena said.
"What is is now onna? Can't you see we're busy?" grumbled Wufei.
"Anyway. Duo, close your eyes, and NO PEEKING!" Serena exclaimed. When she was sure they were closed, she led Mina in and let her sit in front of Duo.
"Okay bro, now open your eyes," she stated. Duo opened them to see a smiling Mina in front of him.
"What the hell is going on sis? Is the family gonna drop in too! I can't believe this! I haven't seen her in years. Cmon over here and give me a hug!" he exclaimed. Mina's smile got wider as her pulled her into his lap for a hug.
"Get a room you two. All these onnas coming in. It's injustice I tell you," mumbles Wufei.
"Oaky, how about you guys get aquainted with Mina, while I go for a walk," Serena suggested. Withoug waiting for an answer, she headed towards the balcony.
------------------------------------------------------
"Mind some company?" said a voice. She spun around to find Trowa leaning on the wall nearby.
"Sure. I mean, there's no harm in company," she said, turning back around to look at the moon.
"Miss the rest of your friends, huh?" he asked her, moving off the wall to stand next to her.
"Yeah, I do, but
in a way, I don't. When I get back, it's not going to be pretty.
Rei will yell at me for not calling them, even though she'll know I couldn't.
I sort of wish this would happen, that I'd get a break from being a superhero
and get to be a normal girl. That's all I ever wanted ever since
I became Sailor Moon. But I have a 'destiny'. My life is planned
out for me, up to the time I die, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Everyone but Mina thinks I'm a ditz, and I'm lazy, and stupid, but they
have no idea about me. They don't know that it's all an act that
I put on. I have no reason to be the real me, when my friends don't
even appreciate the fake me."
"Why don't you let them see
the real you, maybe they'd like her better," he suggested, wondering why
such a nice girl would hide her true identity.
"I can't. How I really am, they'd think I'm pretending. They'd never believe me. That's what they'd see as the act. But when I'm alone with my family, I act how I feel comfortable. I can be the way I want, and still be appreciated. They've made my life change, them and this 'destiny', and I think it's been for the worst. Mina's the only one I can say is a true friend, cousin, and potector. I now have guardians, who treat my like crap, and a fiancee that is a womanizer and a sex-a-holic. They don't even know that. They don't even know I told my true best friend my secret. They'd kill me if they found out." she said, facing him.
"You don't have to worry about that right now. You're here, not with them," he said, as he gave her a hug. Serena returned it, silent tears streaming down her face. She clung to him, and he could see she needed his support, as he knew there was more to the story than she was letting on.
"There's something else, isn't there?" he asked softly. She pulled out of his arms and turned away. "I can't tell you. I can't tell anyone," she whispered.
"If it's that bad, you should let someone know about it," he suggested.
"No. My friends would kill me, my family would hate me, even Duo, you guys would hate me too. I'd have no one except Selene, and I don't think she's happy with me about it either," she said, hugging her arms to her body.
Duo walked down the corridor to go to his room. As he passed the door to the balcony, he saw the two out there. He decided to take a look.
"Who's Selene?" Trowa asked. "She's my grandmother, the goddess of the Moon. She's been giving me patience these past few years, in hopes that I won't attempt to kill myself again," she said, shuddering. Trowa stepped closer and held her. Duo's blood ran boiling hot when he saw this. 'What does he think he's doing with my sister?!!! When I get my hands on the pilot of Heavyarms, I'll mutilate him!' he thought venomously.
"Serena," he whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine, "why would you ever thing of doing a thing like that?"
"Because I'm a god forsaken vampire, that's why! Happy, I've told you now!" she whispered angrily into his ears. His eyes flashed for a moment in fear, before changing back.
"Don't worry, I can't harm you. Not right now, that is. Selene put a curse on me, that I wouldn't be able to feed on another until the blood moon, which is in another thousand years, the same night as the end of the Silver Millenium," she replied. She felt her heart beating faster at her close proximity, and resister the urge she had to kiss him. 'Why am I getting these feelings? What's going on?' she thought. Trowa saw her eyes cloud with emotion, and he wondered what was going through her head.
Duo was holding himself back from tearing them apart. He wanted to know what they were talking about, but he knew that he shouldn't pry. Deciding to walk away, he got up, but not before creaking the door.
Two pairs of eyes snapped to the door as Duo tried to walk away. But his braid got caught in a nail. 'Uh oh. Busted.'
