Chapter 10: Reactions
"I haven't seen Rini much lately. What's she been doing?"
"Mom's been keeping her busy and she's really concerned about her friend Hotaru."
"That little girl who's not very well?"
"Yes, her housekeeper is Kaori Night. Neptune and Uranus think Hotaru is somehow involved with the heart-snatchers."
``````````````````````````````````````````````
"My mom talked to your mom the other day. I bet she gave her a real earful."
"Why do you say that, Moll?"
"She's a horrid gossip and she feels bad that we're not as close as we useta be."
My mom has been acting a little weird lately, she gives me these sad looks and then sighs like I'm lost. I was thinking it was because of my grades."
``````````````````````````````````````````
"Peter, I got a reply from America. He wants to meet me. There's a holiday coming up and all I have to do is call to make arrangements."
"Thanksgiving, a time when families get together. I am going back to 'Frisco to be with my foster family. Maybe we can travel together."
"I don't know if I can get away because of my involvement in- ah- a special project."
"Special project involving roses and a black suit?"
"Yeah, we're getting close to the end, now."
"Are you scared?"
"Always- for her."
*-sigh-*
"Did he say he might be your grandfather?"
"No, just that he wants me to come see him."
"Speaking of family, one of you should talk to Sammy. I think he knows."
``````````````````````````````````````````````
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Why do you think anything is the matter, Serena?"
"You keep looking at me so weird, sorta sad and then you pretend everything's ok. You've also practically forbidden Rini to see Darien."
"Why don't you tell me what you have been doing, you and him and the others?"
"I...I can't!"
"I don't know what kind of games you and Darien have been playing, but I don't want Rini involved."
"Mother! It's not like that! You don't understand!" She ran sobbing up the stairs, passing an astonished and sympathetic Sammy.

"Serena, sweetheart, what's wrong?'
"Everything is so strange at home. Rini's upset over Hotaru's disappearance and my mom- my mom doesn't want her to see you. She knows something is going on, and she thinks... she's been led to believe..."
"I see."
"And Sammy hardly even teases anymore, he looks at me kinda scared and resentful. I think he knows."
"That's what Peter said."
"Oh, Darien! What are we going to do?"
"We'll deal with it later. Right now we have more important things to do, all right?"
An: Things are definitely not happy at the Tsukino's. Thank you for all the reviews. (Happy- happy, joy- joy!) Next chapter- Endymion's power.
