Chapter 18: Reasons for Change Part2
William placed the pink rose on her lap, he then whispered "This rose
pales in comparison to the beauty of your lovely face." Serena blushed
with delight at William's whispered comment, "Until another time
Lady Serena." William whispered after kissing her hand, with that the
whole lake area became clouded with fog. As the fog cleared the girls
found Serena sitting on the bench alone, smelling the rose with a
glazed look in her eyes. "Serena, Are you alright?" Ami softly asked,
the only reponse she received was a contented sigh from Serena. Lita,
Mina, and Rei were talking amongst each other, "Are you sure that was
William, Rei?" Mina asked. "He sure didnt waste any time when he found
she was almost his age now did he?" Lita joked. "Yes, that was William
Mina I am sure of it. And Lita she kissed him first, not the other way
around" Rei stated.
Ami looked around to make sure that no one was close, then pulled her
scanner out of it hiding place. She proceded to scan Serena and added
the infomation to her program. Ami was about to return the scanner,
when it beeped signaling the finish of a program. She scanned the
small screen and with a knowing smile on her face, she put the scanner
away. As Serena became aware of what was going on around her, she found
four pairs of eyes staring at her. "What?" Serena asked the small group
staring at her. Rei and Lita had both just opened their mouths to tease
Serena, but Ami spoke first "Serena is there anything you would like to
tell us?" * Oh no, they saw us* was the first thing that went through
Serena's mind, followed by *Maybe I can distort the truth and find a way
out of this* "Nothing that I can think of at this moment Ami why?"
Serena replied. "Oh I was just wondering because of that pink rose
your holding, that's all" Ami responded with a small mischievous smile on
her face.
Rei, Lita and Mina all agreed on one thing when they saw the mischievous
look, that Ami knew ALOT more about was going on then she was admitting.
*I forgot about the rose!!, what am I going to do now!!!* Serena thought
as "uh.. uh.... It was a gift?" came from her mouth *Wise move you Baka!!*
went through her mind as she saw Ami's small smile grow bigger. "Serena,
can I talk to you for a second alone?" Ami asked glancing at the others
when she said the word ALONE. Serena's denying attitude crumbled when
Ami asked her that, looking down ashamed she quietly answered "Yes Ami."
When the others moved out of hearing range, Ami softly spoke "Serena I
know what happened, now Please tell me how it happened without lying."
With tears rolling down her face, Serena told Ami everything that had
happened. Serena looked up when Ami didnt respond and found that Ami
was also crying. "Ami, are you alright?" Serena asked her crying friend.
Ami nodded her head yes, wiped the tears from her eyes and face. "You
are so lucky Serena, do you know that?" she asked Serena. A look of
shock and surprise crossed Serena's face when she heard this. She had
expected Ami to give her a lecture on the etiquette of male teachers
and their female students. Serena was shocked again when Ami reached
out and gave her a large hug. "Serena?" Ami asked looking sheepishly
at the ground, "Can I ask you something?" It was now Serena's turn to
look mischievous, "Can it be that Miss I only care about studying,
wants to know about how William kisses?" Ami's face turned a deep
crimson at Serena's comment, "Well I dont know, I usually dont kiss
and tell...." Serena teased. "Serrrennaa, thats not very nice you know"
Ami whined. Giggling at Ami's comment, Serena whispered "Ok.. I will
tell you" in Ami's ear. After she was done Ami had a glazed look
on her face as she spoke "wow". They both heard an impatient Lita ask
"Are you two done yet? Some of us would like to get home you know."
Guardian sat waiting for the girls at the temple, he had just finished
a deep conversion on religion with Rei's Grandfather. He stood up as Rei
walked in and asked "Lady Rei, Can I have a moment of your time?" A
worried Rei looked at him and replied "Yes, brother what is it? Is
everything alright?" Guardian walked over to where she stood and put
his arm around her, "Yes everything is alright little sis. I didnt mean
to scare you like that, I just need to talk about something. Do you mind
if we talk in the other room?" When Guardian returned with Rei, he was
asking "Are you sure this isn't too much for you to handle?" Rei shook
her head no, and said "Dont worry brother I can handle this, I am just
extremely touched that you are so concerned about me." Guardian then
leans over and kisses her on the cheek, "Of course I am concerned
about you. Your my beautiful little sister, and I would be devastated
if anything every happened to you." As Rei looked down at the floor
deeply blushing, Guardian asked "Where is Serena?"
Serena sat gazing up at the sky watching the clouds go by, the whole
time thinking about her feelings for both William and Guardian. *On
one hand William is handsome, caring, a gentleman, and a very good
kisser.* She deeply blushed remembering the kisses she shared with
William, *On the other hand Guardian is also handsome, caring, noble,
a gentleman, and he is also a very good kisser.* Serena smiled as she
also remember the soft, gentle, and romantic kiss guardian had given
her. Sighing longingly, she thought *What am I going to do? I care for
both William AND Guardian, but who do I love?* A little voice made
itself know as she thought that, ~you really care MORE for Guardian
then you do for William dont you Serena?~ Serena was about to answer
that when she felt a pair of arms envelop her in a hug. "So this is
where you were hiding my little princess, Is everything all right with
you? And whats this I hear something about your teacher and you?"
Guardian asked making sure he sounded jealous.
Serena's eyes widened in surprise as "I am going to get them for this,"
was faintly heard. "Get them for what princess? All that they have told
me was, that something happened and your teacher went looking for you.
That was very considerate of him, Anyone that looks after my princess
and doesn't try anything is considered an ally with me." Guardian said
as he replied to her statement. A mischievous look formed on Serena's
face "Are you positively sure that he DIDN'T try anything, my love?"
she asked her eyes sparkling with amusement. "WHAT!! He better not
have if he value's his life and well-being. If I find out that he
has even touched you, let alone kissed you I'LL KILL HIM. HOW DARE
HE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU WHEN YOUR VULNERABLE LIKE THAT. LET ME JUST
SPEND A FEW MINUTES WITH HIM, HE WILL PAY....." Guardian nearly shouted
in rage.
Serena's mouth flew open in shock, realizing her little joke had
backfired on her. She had never seen Guardian this mad before and in
all of Zaira's memorys neither had she. *He really is furious,* at
first she thought he was just jealous about William. But now she knew
that she had made a very BIG mistake, feeling extremely guilty now
about the kiss and her little joke Serena started to cry. Guardian
stopped ranting about what he would do to William if he cought him,
when he saw Serena crying. Putting his arms and his wings around her,
he said "I'am sorry I made you cry my princess, its just I couldn't
stand the idea of HIM mauling you like that and treating you like you
were a common trollop. When Serena heard Guardian's confession, she
started sobbing even harder with guilt. "Please Serena, please tell
me what's wrong?" Guardian begged starting to cry himself.
Serena looked up into her noble gentleman of a Guardian's eyes and
whimpered "you promise you wont get mad at me or go after William?"
Guardian looked into the red teary eyes of his innocent princess
and replied "Yes I promise I wont get mad at you." A deep sigh was
released from Serena, as she said "Guardian, I am deeply sorry that
I ta- Wait a minute you didnt promise you wouldn't go after William!"
Guardian looked in the worried eyes of his mature princess and said
"I know I dont promise, I will give you my word that I will not hurt
Him...much..... BUT I will not promise not to go after him. For all
I know he might have done something to tarnish your innocence or worse.
It was then that Serena realized how worried her Guardian really was.
Looking down blushing crimson after the shock wore off, Serena softly
spoke "Dont worry about THAT Guardian, William is too much of a
gentleman to do something like that. Its just that welllll.... I
kinda kissed him and he kissed me back, it was just some innocent
kisses thats all nothing else happened.
Just some innocent kisses with both of our lips closed, I am sorry if
I have tarnished your innocent image of me Guardian." The whole time
tears were streaming down her face, she felt so guilty, so dirty,
so ashamed that she had kissed William. "And the reason I insinuated
that something had happened, was that I wanted to know if you would
get jealous or not. I am so deeply sorry, I dont deserve to be your
princess or let alone your charge." Serena finished as she buried her
face into Guardian's chest as she started a new round of sobbing.
Expecting the worse, every single muscle in Serena's body was tense.
She almost passed out with fear as she felt Guardian's arms wrap
around her tighter. What she did hear shocked her to her very core,
Guardian crying and consoling her. "Shhhhh.....Its ok my little
princess, its not your fault what happened. Its ok, I am not mad
at you for something that was not your doing. I still care for you,
if thats what your worried about. And I am HONORED to know you and
for you be be my princess and charge. Serena, if I know of a way to
stop this from ever happening again. Do you trust me enough to let me
try?"
Serena looked up into the tearstained face of her protector, and
thought *After all of what I have just done to him, he still cares
about me. That he was HONORED to know me and for me being his princess
and charge. I feel so guilty, but yes I trust him..I trust him with my
life.* "Yes, Guardian I trust you... I trust you with my very life"
she repied answering his question. "Then can you follow me?" Guardian
asked after wiping the tears away from Serena's face and her eyes.
When they reached the temple where Rei was waiting, Guardian asked
"Rei, we are ready to try if your sure you can handle this." Mina,
Lita, and Ami looked at each other completely confused about what
was going. "Can you please make sure that no one disturbs until were
done?" Rei asked the girls. After getting there reply, Rei closed the
door to the next room. Several hours go by, before the door reopens
and they hear Rei ask "Are you going to be alright Guardian? Don't
worry I will look after her while your gone." Everyone's head in the
room snapped up in shock when they heard that Guardian was leaving.
Mina asked pitifully "Brother, are you ok? Can I ask why are you
leaving us?" Guardian walked over to Mina, gave her a hug and a kiss
on the cheek. "I am sorry my beautiful little blonde sis, I am leaving
because I need time to sort things out and to meditate. Dont worry
I will be back if something happens and you need me. And to answer
your question about if I am ok, to tell you the truth I dont think
I ever will be ok again." He then walk over to Ami, "Please help Rei
to look out for the others while I'am gone ok?" Guardian then leaned
down and also gave Ami a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He then turned
to where Lita was sitting, and said "Please be careful while I'am Lita."
Lita took one look into Guardian's somber eyes and replied "Ok...you
can hug me also." The only one that was left was Rei, Guardian walked
over to Rei who was crying, and gave her a large loving hug and a soft
kiss on her cheek. "Thank you Rei, Thank you for everything" he
whispered into Rei's ear.
Guardian then turned and walked out the front entrance of the temple.
"What happened in there Rei?" asked Mina, "He found out what had caused
Serena's personality change and fixed it." Rei replied her eyes glazed
like she was deep n thought. "What was it?" Ami questioned, "The one
thing that you'll wish you never ever have too do, banish a loved one."
Rei answered tears flowing down her face. Lita gasped "You mean-" Rei
nodded her head, "how sad ..no wonder Guardian was so broken up...
Having to be the one to banish his Zaira again. Even if its just a
small piece of her soul." The first few seconds after Guardian left,
everyone was in shock, then shortly after the whole room was filled
with sobbing.
