"Rain, how depressing."

Pale blue eyes looked outside the big, closed window and delicate fingers pressed the glass gently. The blonde, slender girl uttered those words calmly and then pressed her forehead against the widow in a desperate attempt to borrow some of it's coolness.

"You're not depressed because of the rain, Mina." Said a delicate, soft, yet so cold voice.

Mina didn't bother to turn around, she only took a fast glance at the other girl's reflection in the mirror before pressing her forehead to the window again.

"C'mon, love witch, cheer up. I hate it when people try taking MY personality, and right now, YOU'RE trying to." Said the voice again with a noticeable arrogant tone.

"I would never want YOUR charming personality, black witch." Mina said with equal arrogance before turning around and looking at the other girl. Her eyes fell upon dark ones before traveling to shoulder length, straight, pitch black hair. She inspected the other girl with judging blue eyes. The other girl was shorter then her, with skin paler than death, and eyes darker than hell. She wore a straight black dress with a high neck and long sleeves that covered most of her body. In her right arm she held a porcelain doll with curled brown hair and soft brown eyes. The doll was dressed in a dark purple dress and small purple shoes.

"Maybe you should consider switching cloths with your dolls once in a while, Hotaru." Mina wickedly pointed out, pointing at her cousin's dark outfit.

"Hey, I gotta look my part, especially tonight." Grinned Hotaru. "After all, it IS the awaited meeting between you and your future husband."

"Ugh, don't remind me. It is SO unfair." Grumbled Mina folding her arms in front of her chest.

"You're not STILL whining about it Mina, are you." Said Hotaru in a bored voice. She obviously heard her cousin's whining too many times already.

"I'll whine about it as much as I want, so there.." she said, sticking her tongue out like a child.

"Whatever." Hotaru rolled her eyes before walking to the door. She then turned around and looked at her cousin. "Just come down soon before Setsuna go berserk. She's having enough trouble keeping Sere from running amuck." She finished with a slight smile before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.

"Yeah, Serena and rain." Whispered Mina to herself with a soft smile gracing her features.

*****************************

"Where is she??? Those two sisters will be the end of me I swear." Grumbled Setsuna pacing around the main hall.

"I told you, she's coming, so chill out." Said Hotaru with a patient voice

"It's easy for you to say, you're not their guardian."

"Neither are you. Well, you may be Serena's guardian but you sure as hell are NOT Mina's guardian." Said a tall girl with short blonde hair from across the hall.

"It's non of your dammed business whose guardian I am Haruka, so would you PLEASE grace us with your silence?"

"Hey, are you telling me to shut up???" Haruka was building anger fast, almost as fast as her dark green haired cousin.

"Stop it, you two. It's not a good time for this, Mina's fiancé will arrive any minute now." A tall delicate figure walked in. Her wavy, aquamarine, shoulder length hair moved like the ocean tides whenever she moved her head.

"Thank god you're finally here, Micharu. Those two are worse than children. " Said Hotaru. " You deal with them while I go look for Sere. You know how she gets when it rains." Her last word was hardly audible while she disappeared through the door.

"Yes, I do." Sighed Micharu before turning to the other two. " Now you two, I know how stressful this is for you. It is stressful for all of us seeing how Mina can humiliate our family name in front of our guest just to show her objection to this marriage, but we have to be calm. Non of us know what's gonna happen in the next few hours and we need all our strength to handle whatever happens.

"I guess you're right." Said Setsuna, blowing out hot air and sitting on the nearest couch. "I'm sorry, I'm just anxious about this whole meeting. What if she doesn't like him?? Before, I was sure she's going to love him, but now, I'm not so sure about it. Oh dear god . what if she despises him?"

"Hey, don't think like that, Setsuna. He's a great man and she'll fall head over heels for him, you'll see." Said Haruka while resting a comforting arm on her cousin's shoulder.

"I hope." Whispered Setsuna, looking at her hands with uncertainty.

*****************************

"Okaaaay, I guess we're ready for him." Said Lita, looking proudly at the enormous amount of food she prepared.

"Yeah, ready to stuff him to death." Rei was obviously amused with the whole arranged marriage situation, and she wasn't even trying to hide her amusement.

"Rei, do you still find this whole thing funny?" asked Amy, putting the last dish on the kitchen main table.

"Sure I do, just think about it. Mina..MINA of all people is stuck in an arranged marriage in the 21st century." Said Rei before bursting out in laughter. "Man, this is gonna be soooooooo much fun" She managed to say in between her laughs.

"Yeah well, don't let her know how amused you are." Said Lita, taking her apron off.

"Me?? No way, do you think I have a death wish or something??" Said Rei in utter fear, her laughs suddenly ceasing.

The other two just giggled at her immediate change of mood before looking at the kitchen clock.

"He'll be here any second now, we better get moving." Stated Ami. "Too bad Luna and Artemis will miss this."

"Hey, somebody had to pay our bills in the other round, right." Smiled Lita. "By the way, where is Serena???" she asked, noticing that the little blonde wasn't there.

"It's raining. You know how she gets when it rains." Said Rei matter-of- factly, pointing out the window

*****************************

Eight girls sat silently in the living room, each of them lost in her own thoughts.

"I need Rena to be here with me." Mina suddenly said, breaking the thick silence.

"It's raining, Mina, you know how she gets when it rains" Said Haruka, looking at her cousin with soft, understanding eyes.

"I know.. I just, I want her to be here when he comes. I NEED her to be here." She said, fear and uncertainty filled her every word.

"Mina, you'll be just fine, I assure you." Said Setsuna, hugging her cousin's hand in her own , trying her best to calm her down.

Mina just nodded slowly before looking outside the window where it kept raining, raining, and raining .

*****************************

A tall, muscular figure looked at the mansion with navy blue eyes, not giving any attention to the rain that soaked his form or the darkness that limited his vision. He slowly walked toward the mansion and calmly opened it's outer gates. He found himself to be in a big garden which would look more beautiful in a sunny, warm day. He walked toward the mansion doors but suddenly halted when he heard muffled sounds coming from behind a row of medium size bushes. He immediately changed his direction and walked toward the sound. He rounded a bush and looked at what it hid behind it only to see the most dazzling scene he ever laid eyes on. There, in front of him, was a girl with incredibly long blonde hair. She was dancing in the rain like there was no tomorrow, her giggles filled the area around her and her white, soaked, transparent dress clanged to her every curve, revealing what would make any mans' heart skip a beat or two, which is exactly what happened to the tall, dark figure.

The girl finally noticed that she wasn't alone, and immediately stopped dancing. She looked at the tall, dark figure with surprised eyes. She hugged herself tightly when her eyes fell upon his, and a blush started to conquer her face. She took a step back and fear started to show on her flushed face.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Said the man with a deep, calm voice, that carried a noticeable accent.

"I'm Darien." He said, taking a step closer to the rain angel that he encountered. "What's your name?" He asked.

"S.Serena." She said in a voice that can barely be heard before she suddenly ran off, leaving the man still trying to digest the heavenly image he just saw.

"Serena." He whispered her name softly. "Serena." He whispered it again while seeing her enter the big mansion from a back door.

"Serena, you have bewitched me, fair rain angel."
