~*It's A Far Better Thing*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena had called home from Rei's house, asking her mom to come pick her up. She didn't tell her mom what had happened of course, because then her parents would worry too much. She didn't want them to worry. She still hadn't told Rei about what she heard, and she didn't plan to. It had scared her too much. The person basically quoted what was in the love letter that she had received, and she could only wonder to what was meant by that. She had only realized it when Rei re-read the letter to her. She smiled happily as she got to spend some much needed time with her friend. She had been too swamped by her work to even spend time with them, well not too swamped.
Serena was able to stay with her friend for about 30 minutes, since her dad had to drive home from work to go get her. Serena slowly and quietly contemplated the excuse she was going to give her father, and Rei just smiled.
"Just say that you ran into me and you wanted to say hi, I ended up fainting and you took me home. That is all there is to it." Rei replied as she stirred the soup that she was making for dinner. Serena knew that Rei was probably right, but sometimes she didn't like to give Rei the satisfaction of letting her know that was right.
"Rei, do you think that we should tell the others about what had happened? I mean it seems only necessary." Rei rolled her eyes at Serena's ignorance.
"Of course we are going to tell the others, if this is something that the scouts need to know about so be it. Innocent people could get hurt, and we really do not need that to happen. So if other peoples lives are at stake, then yes, we tell them, that way they can always be alert no matter where they are." Rei basically demanded. Serena smiled and began to tap her fingers on the table that she was sitting at.
"Rei, do you think that someone could just attack us again from out of nowhere?" Rei looked at Serena realizing that she was truly frightened. Rei itched her nose for a moment, before turning around and looking at her friend.
"Serena, you know as well as I do, that we always have to be on our guard, I am just surprised that the people around us didn't me get attacked." Rei replied sardonically. Serena's mouth fell open. There were people around them? But there Serena didn't recall seeing anybody.
"Rei are you sure that you saw somebody there, because when I came to get you, the street was deserted. And then there was all the smoke and the voice."
"Serena I think that you are delusional, you almost bumped into someone on the way back over here because you were thinking so hard. Imagine, you thinking, heh that would be an interesting sight." Rei sniffed the soup, and then tasted it, wondering if it was satisfactory. It was. Serena however was freaking out. Rei saw people on the street, but Serena didn't. And Serena didn't even recall bumping into someone. Maybe she was being delusional. ( I mean all that time looking for research books could do that to you.)
Rei looked at her friend, noticing her worried expression. She sat down next to her and rubbed her back gently.
"Come on Serena, it couldn't have worried you that much. Look your father should be here soon, so please try to look as calm as possible in front of him. It's only for the best, then tomorrow we can relay what happened to Amy and she can see if there was anything acting oddly at that moment, alright?" Rei smiled at Serena, thinking that her words had gotten to her friend, but Serena stayed in a somber state.
Rei said goodbye to her friend 15 minutes later, and still noted how upset Serena looked, something had to have upset her, but what was it? With this barrier that Serena had put up, Rei didn't know what she was going to do.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*
Serena awoke the next morning with the gentle sunbeams streaming into her window. She rolled over and looked at her calendar, sighing heavily.
'Great,' she thought, 'stupid exam today, oh well at least my mind will be somewhere else other than what happened the other night.' Serena got out of bed, did the regular morning routine, and then went downstairs for breakfast. She smiled enthusiastically at her mother, who seemed to have her attention on the TV other than on what she was cooking.
"Um, mom, you are burning the sausage." She commented dryly. (Someone tell me, what are the traditional Japanese breakfasts?) Her mother still hadn't given Serena her attention yet.
Her eyes still rested on the TV, and Serena couldn't help but notice as well. She looked at the TV and gasped, a local school had caught on fire.
"How did it start mom?" Serena asked, not paying any more attention to the fire that was about to start in her own home.
"Well witnesses said that it just lit up suddenly. And now the school board said that all schools in district 9 will be closed because they don't want to take any chances." Serena couldn't help but smile broadly, her high school was in district 9.
"Mom, that means I don't have to go to school, and if you don't pay attention to what you are cooking, I wont have a home to go to either." Serena's mom gasped and turned off the stove. Luckily enough she had salvaged the food before it was beyond edible.
Serena and her mom had a very long discussion about the fire, and how she was doing in school, and what she was spending her time doing after school. Serena told her mom the truth, except she left out the part about being a super heroine.
"Oh that's right, you've gotten something in the mail Serena, her." Her mom said as she handed her and envelope. Serena had no idea what it was for, because it was blank and all that was on the front was Bunny. Serena pocked it for the time being and finished breakfast.
"Well mom, I am going to Amy's house alright? I will talk to you later, bye bye." Serena said as she took off without giving her mom a hug or a kiss. Serena's mother sighed and smiled at her daughter, she certainly was growing up fast.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena darted across the street barely dodging the on-coming traffic. She hugged a pole tightly while she hyperventilated. She thought she was going out of her mind.
"If I would have known you were interested in poles I never would have gone out with you." A firm hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Hey Darien, how are you doing?" Serena asked as she straightened out, embarrassed by what he just said. He smiled leaning down to kiss the top of her head.
"Fine now that I've seen you." He replied as he swung an arm over her shoulder. Serena smiled brightly and took a deep breath.
"So how is work going for you?"
"If you would return my calls then maybe you wouldn't be having to ask me now, I missed you." He said as they walked down the street to Amy's house. Serena couldn't help but giggle.
"I have been busy with school work and such, and not to mention I have an essay due on the habitation tactics of Aquatic Animals. Its driving my brain insane." Serena let out another long sigh.
"And not to mention, I am a champion of justice, and in love, and now I have a secret admirer." Darien glanced at her.
"A secret admirer, how cool, what's his name?"
"They don't call it a secret admirer for nothing, I don't know, but it would be pretty fun to find out, don't you agree?" Serena commented, noting the slight aggravation and jealousy in his voice. She never knew Darien to be the jealous type, but just the same, she never knew Darien could get so aggravated over someone who thought she was cute. Serena shrugged it off and continued her conversation with Darien, cutting it short when she noticed her friends walking not too far ahead of them.
"Lita, Mina, Rei!" She yelled as she ran over to her friends. They all smiled at her and exchanged hugs as Darien walked up to them.
"Well now that you ladies have caught up with each other, I think that I will continue to head to work, see you later." He said winking at Serena. Serena smiled, knowing that she would call him and spend hour after hour talking to him, but it would all be worthwhile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He watched them, snorting in disgust. His eyes lingered on Darien for a moment before trailing back over to Serena. She sure was beautiful. And he was going to have her. He watched Serena run up to Darien and give him one last kiss before he left and then returned to her group of friends. His hand stroked his furry friend, which sat next to him gazing lazily into the crystal that sat in front of his eyes. How he longed for her, and yet, how difficult it would be to obtain her.
He stood up his white hair falling needlessly to his side, and his black cape billowing behind him, as he walked through the nothingness that was his realm, the realm that they would soon share together. Until then, he would continue to leave her notes, obviously the human way of doing things, and unless she took them into consideration, he would take away everyone she loved, one person at time.
