CHAPTER SIX
Serena opened her eyes, her head was throbbing, and her body ached as if she had been in the same position for along time. She looked around her, at the room she was in. The room had a soft earthy tone to it. The walls were painted a soft beige, the glass door that led out onto the balcony, was draped in long filmy tan curtains, the massive bed she was in was covered in chocolate satin sheets. Opposite the bed was an antique looking dresser, and beside that was a large chair. She stared at the chair for a moment, noticing the strange flower like patterns that covered the chair, the darker russet of the pattern stuck out against the coffee of the chair. This room was familiar though it was not her own, she tried hard to remember whose it was. But her mind was not focusing. She closed her eyes, and lay her head back down on the pillow, groaning softly. She was so tired so very, very tired.
She had not noticed a dark figure sitting just behind the bed on another large chair. Darien dwarfed the chair with his substantial frame, his head down, and his mind completely blank. Blissful sleep had finally settled on him. Outside his door sleeping on his couch, and the floor, were the scouts. Lita and Rini shared the couch, and on the floor still awake sat Mina, Rei and Ami. Rei was on her cell phone calling her grandfather, while Mina and Ami played a nervous game of chess. A soft noise at the enormous glass door roused all 5 of them. Lita was the first to arrive at the door, she slid it open, and let Luna and Artemis into the dimly lit room.
"Where have you been?" Lita asked first.
"Yes where have you been? You said that you'd tell us what happened today, then you just left, and we haven't been able to find you since!" Rei piped in.
"I needed a little back up" Luna said looking over at Artemis.
"Artemis!" Mina yelled incredulously. This earned her glares from all.
"Quiet" Ami hissed.
"Sorry, but still, you needed Artemis?" she continued in a subdued whisper.
"Not quiet girls, she needed me!" a soft oddly wispy voice spoke. Mina jumped at the voice, and looked over to her left, where Setsuna had suddenly appeared. This did not surprise nor scare Mina, the real shock was her attire, she was dressed in what looked like an armored dress. She had breastplate over a leather knee length dress, the breastplate connected to what appeared to be a cape; the cape and plate were both green. She still had her usual weapon in hand.
"Since when did you turn into Xena?" Mina questioned curiously. Setsuna smiled, though she chooses not to answer the question. Instead she looks at all of them, her eyes shinning softly. Then she took a deep breath and began talking.
"I am here to tell you, that which no one else can, not even Serena," she paused, looking at them, then continued " Long ago, back in days of the moon, we know that Serena and the rest of the Sailor scouts were born, I am here to tell you the part of the story that was removed from your mind." She stops again, her eyes clouded and troubled. " The Queen as we know had a daughter, she would eventually be the moon princess that we all serve, however, there is more to this story, you see the Queen bore a son as well, His name was Tranquility, and Mina, you knew him well." She paused once more to make sure what she had said had sunk in. Then she started again. " You and he were very close in those days, but then you fell in love with another, this hurt him dearly, as he already felt the queen did not love him, he became very angry with everyone, with everything, but still he remained on the moon, sometimes he would leave to travel, in fact one day, the terrible day that moon was lost, he was away, when he returned to find his home destroyed, he begged me to send him to earth, I did as he commanded against my better judgment."
" So what does this have to do with us?" Rei asked.
"He is here, he is angry, and tired, and he is ready to kill Serena" she said simply.
"Why?" Lita and Mina asked together.
"Isn't that obvious? He was denied the throne, they were twins, and Serenity choose Serena over him, he wants what he feels is rightfully his, and he will do anything necessary to obtain it" Setsuna replied, her voice hollow and empty.
"So what does this have to do with what happened today?" Rini asked impatiently.
" I believe he was behind the attack," Setsuna mumbled
"Yes and what about are new attacks?" Rini persisted. Setsuna cleared her throat, and looked at the cats, she smiled at them wearily.
" I leave this to you," she said almost jovially, then she turned back to the scouts, smiling broadly " I don't suppose you noticed Serena's waistline?" and with a soft laugh she disappeared.
All of them turned on Luna and Artemis, who both looked away in different directions. Luna, still not looking at the girls, cleared her throat and began talking.
"Serena is pregnant..." she was cut of by an uproar, threats to Darien, and curious questions filled the room. Luna cleared her throat loudly again, though it did not get their attention, swiftly she climbed up on to Darien's Coffee table, and knocked down a vase. A loud crack, brought them all back, "As I was saying, Serena is pregnant, however the child is not Rini...." Again she was cut off. When suddenly the bedroom door creaked open.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?" Darien Roared. All the girls fell silent; he was glaring fire at them.
"The man of the hour himself!" Mina said coldly, her rage burning under the surface of her words. Suddenly the reason why Serena had been avoiding them became alarmingly clear. But before Mina or any of the girls could say anything, Luna interrupted.
"We'll try to be quieter, why don't you go look after Serena?" Luna asked nervously.
"Alright, try and keep it down, she's been through hell....."
" D...Darien...." a feeble voice called out. Darien turned on his heel and walked into the room. Ignoring the heated mutters from behind him.
As soon as the door shut, Luna turned back to girls, "as I was saying, Serena is pregnant..."
"Yah, yah we got that, so the kid isn't me, grrrreat, what's the point of this?" Rini interrupted impatiently.
"The 'kid' is the reason you all have new attacks" Luna began, her voice completely exasperated, " For some reason she's giving Sailor moon a boost in her power, along with her guard, namely you guys, apparently this child already knows it's in danger, and so it's giving it's protectors power, don't ask me how, it doesn't make sense, the child should not have this kind of power, much less be able to transfer it."
"Why didn't my other attacks work?" Rei asked.
"I don't know, the only reason I can think is because of that girl, I believe her power is the opposite of the kid's, same power, just evil" Luna mumbled in response.
" So how does that work? Wouldn't they cancel each other out?" Ami asked.
" No apparently all she's canceling out are your other attacks, look I don't understand it either, we are just going to have to play it out and see what happens"
" I guess so, are the outers going to help us?" Lita asked.
"Damn right we are, but first, I'm going to beat Darien into the ground" A husky angry voice replied. Lita looked over to the open door, for leaning against the railing of the balcony, were Amara, and Michelle.
" Amara, Michelle" Rini squeaked, as she throw herself into their arms. " Where is Hotaru?"
" Not here, she's with Setsuna" Michelle replied.
"Oh, well, Setsuna was here, she didn't bring hotaru with her...." She said disappointedly. Michelle smiled softly.
"So where is Darien?" Amara asked, after they had settled in.
"With Serena, in the bed room...." Rini began.
"WHAT? YOU LEFT HIM ALONE WITH HER?" Amara howled, as she got up of the floor and threw herself at the door to the bedroom. Luckily for Darien, Michelle grabbed her first, tackling the blonde to the ground.
Darien was totally oblivious, to the threat on his life. He was too lost in the beauty of the blonde lying in his bed, to hear the muffled swearing of Amara. His eyes saw nothing but her face. Oh he loved her, there was none else who made his breath catch in quite the same way.
"Don't," she whispered hoarsely.
"Don't what?" he asked softly, his voice husky. "Stare at me like that" She whispered shakily. He looked at her for a long moment, meeting her eyes. Then he looked away from her, and took a deep breath.
"Serena, I hate to make you relive this but, I need to know, what happened?" he whispered. She looked at him for a moment. Her body started trembling, she took a deep steadying breath, and then spoke.
