A Love Not Rivaled

Part 1: Darien's 'Death'?!

~Hikawa Shrine~

Serena is running up the shrine steps 'Noo!! Darien..' She says to herself, crying out loud. She finally makes it up the shrine steps, and runs inside. She goes into Raye's room, and latches onto Raye, crying heavily. "Wh-What's wrong? Did something happen?" Asks Raye. "It's Darien! He's in the hospital! They said...sniff...he won't ...sniff.. ...make it!" Serena cries into Raye's chest. "What?! He has to! He can't die!" Raye says, "How did this happen?!" "He was attacked by a youma! They said they can't stop the bleeding... He's gonna DIE! Raye, I know he Is!!!" Serena says through her tears.

"There There. He won't die. We've already seen the future, and he's alive, remember?" Raye says, comfortingly. Serena looks up, "But! He's already just about gone! I've got to go see him, Raye!" "Don't worry. We will!" Raye says. Raye and Serena get up, and leave for the hospital.

~Hospital~

Serena and Raye go inside, and see that Amy, Lita & Mina are already there. They go over to them and Raye asks, "What room is he in?" "Number 253." Replies Amy. "Thanks." Says Serena. "Good Luck.." Says Lita. Raye smiles at the blue-haired girl, and she and Serena step into the elevator. "Serena?" Asks Raye. "Yes?" Serena says, turning towards Raye. "Do you know...*yawn*...What time it is?" Asks Raye. "I think it's about....*Looks at watch*....12:00." Serena says. "I figured something like that." Responds Raye. *Elevator Stops* "We're here." Serena says. She rushes ahead towards Darien's room, and Raye follows *walking*.

Serena gulps, and slowly opens the door, to see that Trista is already there, holding Darien's left hand. "Darien!" Says Serena. She goes over, and sits next to Trista. Raye then walks inside as well, and sees Serena and Trista sitting beside Darien. She chooses 'not' to sit down. "Darien?" Asks Serena, leaning in closer. He opens his eyes, and looks at Serena, "Bunny?" He asks, smiling. "Yeah, It's me.." Serena says, tears filling her eyes.

"Don't cry, Bunny." He says, wiping away her tears, "I-We' have something to tell you.." Darien looks over at Trista. Trista looks down. "What is it?" Asks Serena, gently. "Back in the Silver Millenium, Trista and I were- we were...lovers.." He says. "I know that..But that was before 'we' met, right?" Asks Serena, hopefully. "No..It was 'after' I met you, bunny." Darien says. "But...But, Then?" Serena starts. "Yes. We are 'still' 'in'- love. I'm so sorry. I just needed you to know before I die..." Darien says, closing his eyes. "No! You aren't going to...to...die! You can't! We've already seen the future! We are married and, even, have a..d-daughter, remember?" Serena says.

"Trista told me that there was a change in the flows of time. You are to fall in love with another, and I will die. Soon, after, You'll forget me..And Rini will 'still' be born so don't...don't worry, okay bunny?" He said gently. Raye was surprized that Serena hadn't slapped him when he told her he loved someone else. Serena was to kind to do something like that.

"No! She's wrong! I love you!" Serena says. "You love me..But are you, 'in' love with me?" He asks. Serena is silent. "It'll all be *cough* okay, Bunny. Don't worry about it! This Person is already... in love with you. And I think...you already love this person...too... Please...be...happy...Meatball.....He...." Darien's voice dies, and Serena fears the worst. "No! Someone Help me! Please!" Serena cries. "It's alright. He loves you, and he will be watching over you forever!" Trista says, comforting the miserable, teary-eyed odango-head. "B-But..." Serena says. "It's okay." Trista tells her.

Raye stands behind close to the door, as she watched her 'rival' die. How could he leave Serena?

His lifeline completely died, as the doctor checked his pulse. "We've lost him." She says. "Isn't there anything you can do?!" Asks Serena. "I'm sorry, Miss. There is nothing I can do." Replies the doctor. Serena's tears are pouring down her face.

"Serena, Are you going to be alright?" Asks Trista. "I thought you loved him, too! How can you do this?!" Serena snapped at Trista. "It is what Endymion wanted." Trista says. "But!" Serena says, looking at Darien's lifeless body. Raye walk over to Serena, and puts her hand on the blond's shoulder, looking at Darien, "Serena, That was what Darien wanted." "Please try to understand, my queen." Trista says. "Then...If it's what he wanted, I'll try to be happy." Serena says, drying her tears, and putting on a fake smile. Raye gave her a comforting Smile, making Serena feel a bit better about her loss. Serena thought to herself 'I don't think I'll ever get over this..Darien..'.
