Hey everyone! I want to thank everyone who has read and reviewed my story! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I dedicate this chapter to a reviewer named Lili, who kept begging me to get this chapter out. Also to Usagi Usako Chiba and SailorMairz who both took time to review! Thanks! Hope this is what you wanted.

Author's Note: This has got to be my not most favorite chapter, but most well written. Please review!


Disclaimer: So far I've remained a poor high school student, who in fact couldn't afford to get her butt sued. So I don't own Sailor Moon, so please don't sue me.


Days of Summer Lovin'
Chapter 14
By Kasumi Yawa



Darien was back at his apartment thinking. He didn't have the slightest clue where Serena could be. The police, after being notified, had sent a search party for Serena and Diamond. Darien stayed home, hoping to here news from the police.
He walked over to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. Before coming home, he remembered the conversation he had with Mattie after Katherine was arrested.

*BEGIN FLASHBACK*

Darien sat on a chair; Mattie walked slowly toward Darien. Darien held his head in his hands as he tried not to cry over Serena's kidnapping.
"Dr. Chiba?" Mattie asked softly, afraid she might be bothering him. Darien slowly lifted his head and looked at Mattie. He smiled sadly.
"Mattie." He breathed. Mattie stood a bit in wonder.
"Mattie," Darien said. "I want to thank you. Not only did you help me find out what happened to Serena; you were able to lock up a very cruel woman."
Mattie nodded her head, and tears stung her eyes, as she tried to keep the tears from poring. Darien held his arms wide for Mattie to give him a hug. Mattie cried, knowing she had done something crucial in someone's life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After awhile, the two sat silently. Finally, Mattie broke the silence.
"Dr. Chiba?" She asked, her voice not louder than a whisper. Darien nodded his head, indicating he was listening.
"I was wondering, what are you planning to do now that you know what happened?" Mattie asked carefully. Darien shook his head.
"I don't know. However, the police should get involved." Darien answered. Mattie could only nod.
"Whatever happens," Mattie assured Darien. "You'll get her back. And when you do the two of you can finally be together.
Darien nodded and was even more determined to find out Serena.

*END FLASHBACK*

As Darien was putting down his cup of coffee, the phone rang! Darien nearly dropped his coffee as he hurried into the living room to grab the phone.
On the other line, it was the police, as much as they searched, they were not able to find an abandoned warehouse where Serena might have been held.
Darien closed the phone, almost at the verge of breaking down. As he sat on his couch, his gaze went to a picture of him and Serena.
Suddenly an idea came to him. He immediately phoned the police and put his plan into action.



Darien had arranged with the help of the police to speak to Katherine McDaniel about the kidnapping of Serena. Katherine was being held at the local women's prison.
Darien sat patiently, hoping to find out some evidence of where Serena might be.
Katherine, who was wearing an orange jumpsuit arrived, and silently walking over to her seat, not taking her eyes off of Darien, as she proceeded to sit down. Her face was as stone, as she stared into Darien's stormy blue eyes.
During the conversation, a detective assigned to the case was sitting listening to their conversation. He wanted to hear Katherine, if she ever mentioned anything about where Serena might be.
"Darien." Katherine said nervously as she saw the determined, yet cold stare of Darien's eyes.
"Katherine." Darien's answer was as cold as his stare.
"You wanted to see me?" Katherine asked carefully.
"Katherine, after meeting you, my luck has been for crap. You tried every malicious and cruel way to have your way, and you might think that taking away Serena would make me forget her. Well your wrong. You just made me want Serena even more. But what I don't understand is why you could be so cruel?" Darien asked.
Katherine broke down. All emotions and thoughts flooded her as she sobbed.
"You don't understand." She cried, "You might think I have the perfect life, but my life has always been a big lie and has only been hell. The growing up with abuse and neglect? How would you feel?"
Darien sighed. He never saw this side of her, she had this well hidden.
"I wouldn't know. My parents had died a long time ago." Darien said. Katherine was now sobbing quietly, and had trouble breathing. She was breathing in gulps.
"But I don't understand how you could put so many people in pain?" Darien asked.
"That's the only way I could find relief. When I knew the people around me also felt the same pain as I did." Katherine explained, quite sadly.
Darien knew Katherine was a very sick person and needed help.
"Katherine, where's Serena?" Darien asked.
Katherine sighed. "In the empty warehouse just outside of Tokyo in the outskirts." Katherine said closing her eyes.
Darien sighed in relief.
"Katherine, thank you and I do hope that with some help you get better. I'd better go. Goodbye." Darien said standing up.
"Goodbye Darien." Katherine said as he walked out of the room and never to see or hear from Katherine McDaniel again.

During Darien's search for Serena, Serena was kept at the abandoned, dark warehouse for days. Diamond had not in any way touched her sexually, however he had beaten and nearly starved her to death. Serena had been crying, and felt she would never be found. She missed Darien and knew she would never see him.
Serena was sitting in a corner, huddled with her knees up to her chest and her chin resting on her knees. She was crying silently, when she heard the familiar footsteps of Diamond approaching her room. The doorknob turned as she closed her eyes, but her tears continued to flow as her eyes were shut tightly.
Diamond looked at her and took pity on her. He looked at the plate of food he had for her.
He walked in and set the food on the table. He walked over and kneeled next to Serena.
"I know you are hungry. I got you some food." Diamond said hoarsely. Serena slowly opened her eyes and glared at him, with tears brimming her eyes.
"One day you will look at me with love with those same eyes." He said.
She spit into his face. "I will never love you! My heart belongs to another." She spat. Diamond slapped Serena in her face. She flew back and cried out in pain.
"How dare you!" He roared. "You will love me!" Serena sat back up.
"Now eat before I decide to do something the both of us will regret." He said as he slammed the door. Serena quietly got up and ate her meal in tears. It felt like her last meal.

Darien and the detective including the police drove to the outskirts of Tokyo. They came upon the warehouse where a car was parked in front of.
The police and detective surrounded the warehouse quietly, and suddenly burst in. Darien ran inside and came face to face with Diamond!
Diamond scowled and began to run into Darien.
They began to fight, until Darien pinned him down. The police ran and handcuffed Diamond and took him away.
Darien looked around, hoping to see his beloved. He and the detective searched some rooms. Darien opened a door and saw his love huddled in a corner, with her eyes shut closed.
While Darien had been fighting Diamond, and then searching for Serena, she went back to her corner, and when she heard footsteps again, which belonged to Darien, she thinking it was Diamond, shut her eyes closed.
Darien smiled as he slowly walked over to Serena. As he got closer he noticed the bruises and wounds Serena had on her body. He frowned. When he reached Serena, he kneeled down to Serena, who still had her eyes closed.
"Hey meatball head." Darien said softly. Serena's eyes opened wide as she gasped in shock at hearing Darien's voice. When she saw him, she flung her body into him and hugged him, making them both fall down as she pinned him down. She was crying as he chuckled. She kissed him over and over again.
"Ready to get out of her?" He asked. They both stood up holding each other. "Yea, you bet." She said as Darien carried her out of her nightmare to the Tokyo General Hospital.

It had been 3 days since Serena was rescued. She remained at the hospital. She was treated and felt better. Darien visited her everyday, and was also one of the doctors treating her. He wanted to make sure she was all right.
Serena was lying down, resting, when Darien entered her room with roses in his hands. He had brought flowers each time he visited her. Her room was filled with his flowers.
He quietly stood beside her. Serena felt a presence next to her and slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Darien.
"Darien." She breathed.
"Hey there meatball head. More flowers for your collection?" Darien said as he held out the flowers. She sat up and took them and smelled the fresh roses. "Thank you." She said as she looked up at him and blushed.
"No problem." Said Darien grinning.
"Darien, I love you." Serena said.
"I love you too, Serena." Darien replied.
"So are we going to start with any wedding plans yet?" Serena asked smiling. Darien's smile reached his eyes.
"Of course. We have the bride, the groom. We only need a church and a cake." Darien suggested. Serena burst out laughing.
"That could be arranged." Serena said as she and Darien kissed tenderly.
