~*It's A Far Better Thing*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Serena and her friends nestled down on one of Amy's couches. Serena decided that she should let Rei tell the story, since of course Rei was the one who was attacked.

Everyone listened to her story without saying a single word. Serena chewed on her lower lip still wondering on whether or not to tell her friends about the voice she heard, and she still didn't know what it related to. But what was said sounded so familiar. 'I told you to take it into consideration Bunny, you better be careful, and just remember, it's a far better thing.'

Serena muttered something under her breath, and then looked up, feeling all of her friends staring at her.

"Serena, are you alright?" Lita asked. Serena smiled and nodded.

"It is just that the whole thing that happened had me a little spooked, I mean there was no one around when Rei got attacked, and then she said that there were people around." Serena stretched and then glanced into her friends' eyes, before staring back at the floor.

"Rei said something about smoke Serena, do you remember it?" Amy asked. Serena nodded solemnly and let out a long sigh. She had to tell them, there was no way that they were going to figure out what happened unless she told them.

"I heard a voice in all the smoke," Serena added. Rei looked at her and frowned.

"You didn't tell me that." She growled. Serena shrugged her shoulders.

"The voice was male, and he said 'I told you to take it into consideration Bunny, you better be careful, and just remember, it's a far better thing.' But I have absolutely no clue as to wha the meant." Rei looked at her in confusion. That sounded so very familiar to her. Serena stood up and glanced at her friends.

"How about we go to the Petit Rondo and eat some ice-cream." Serena suggested. Mina smirked.

"Got any yen?" Mina asked Serena impatiently. Serena blushed shaking her head.

"Well I can treat everyone to some ice cream, and after what happened last night, it would be my pleasure." Lita spoke out. Serena beamed at her and then headed out Amy's door first. She could definitely use some ice cream right about now.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Serena gulped down her ice cream. She had never felt so satisfied in her whole life. She licked her lips and began to order another bowl of ice cream, but Rei stopped her.

"Have some of mine, don't waste any more of Lita's money, Serena!" Serena looked at Rei and frowned taking about half of her strawberry ice cream. Mina and Lita chuckled, and Amy shook her head in embarrassment. Serena smiled as she indulged in the strawberry ice cream.

"You shouldn't eat so fast, you can get brain freeze." Serena stopped eating and turned her head to look at her friends. All of their gazes were focused on something. Serena shrugged and began to eat when Lita murmured something.

"You look like my ex-boyfriend." Serena glanced up and smiled. There was a man, about Darien's age, with beautiful long silky black hair, dark mysterious eyes, strong facial features and a wonderful smile. Serena swallowed her ice cream and smiled.

"That's right, you shouldn't eat ice cream so fast." He smiled at her and Serena nodded slowly.

'He sure is one hunk of a guy.' She replied as she wiped her face off.

"I couldn't help but notice all of you lovely ladies, mind if I join you?" His voice was velvety and smooth. Rei scooted over as he sat down. Serena took another bite of ice cream and looked up at him, wondering why he was paying to much attention to high school girls.

"My name is Mina, what's yours?" Mina spoke out. Serena glanced at her and shook her head. She was glad that she had Darien, no time to flirt with other men.

"My is Kazuki, it is very nice to meet you Mina." He took her hand into his and kissed it gently. Rei smiled at him, and introduced herself. One at a time, the girls gave their names, all except for Serena.

"And what might your name be?" he asked. Serena looked at him and forced a smile.

"Serena, but you can call me Bunny, that is, if you ever see me again." She snapped rudely. She looked out the window and stared.

"Oh, I am pretty sure that we will see each other again. Would you like another ice cream bowl?" He asked her kindly. Serena waved him off dismissively and continued to stare out the window, shoving her hands into her pockets. The other girls gawked at her, before turning all of their attention to Kazuki.

"What's this?" Serena asked as she pulled an envelope out of her pocket. She looked at the front of it; her nickname was printed neatly on the front. She thought back to earlier, how her mother had handed it to her and she smiled. Her mom must've given it to her.

She opened the envelope curiously, getting everyone else attention. Kazuki's eyes narrowed as he saw the envelope, a frown appearing on his handsome facial features.

Serena pulled the letter out and sighed in exasperation. It wasn't what she had hoped it to be.

"What is it Serena?" Rei asked.

"A letter from that stupid secret admirer that I have." She muttered. Amy looked over her shoulder and smiled.

"Well the read it." Amy said flamboyantly. Serena exchanged glances with her before reading the letter aloud.

Bunny,

I don't know what I would be able to do without seeing your loving face. My heart is empty, where it should be full, and you are the only one who can fill that emptiness inside. I have no time for beautiful poems now; my heart aches too much, and brings me to tears whenever I think of you.

I have ways of proving my love for you, but not yet, you still have time to see the errors of your ways, and he loves you not like I do. Bunny, please remember one thing, it is a far better thing.

Your Secret Admirer.

Serena cleared her throat and looked at her friends. She couldn't help but smile at this letter. Kazuki's lips curved into a smile and he began to chuckle.

"Sounds like somebody's got it bad. Wonder who he could be?" He asked a surprised looking Serena. She had completely forgotten he was there. She tried to read his expression, at first she thought that he was mocking her, but when his smile disappeared she couldn't figure out a single way to do so.

"No, just some idiot who doesn't realize that I have a boyfriend, and that I love him, and that I will marry him one day." Kazuki raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know that you will be married to your boyfriend, what if things don't work out for you?' He asked her almost impatiently. Serena narrowed her eyes and then smiled bitterly.

"Let's just say our future is set in stone. Let's go you guys." Serena commented as be bumped Amy with her hip to get her to go. Mina sat down, rooted to the spot. Serena growled at Mina and then sat back. There was no way that she could get passed Amy and Mina.

When Kazuki finally left the group alone Serena hurried home extremely angry. She had wanted to be able to call Darien as soon as he had gotten off work, and talking to Kazuki held her up. She chewed on her lip; they were basically in that ice cream parlor until it closed. Serena stopped walking and smiled. It would be a lot better to go to his house and surprise him, than it would be to call. She changed her course of direction, and basically ran the rest of the way to Darien's house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Darien sipped on some coffee and set the phone down. He had expected Serena to have been home from Amy's house by now, but she wasn't home. He muttered under his breath and looked at his paperwork that he needed to work on. It was aggravating him. He had missed Serena terribly, they haven't really talked, unless you counted him walking her to Amy's house. He ran his fingers through his hair and then set his coffee mug down. He had to get his analysis done by the deadline or he wouldn't get recommended for promotion. He began jotting down notes, and the stopped as there was a knock on his door.

"It's open." He yelled. Serena opened his door quietly and shut it quietly, not saying a word. She stood in the doorway quietly waiting for Darien to come over to her, so she could fling herself into his arms.

Darien looked around not seeing anyone enter his front room. Confused he walked to his front door, wondering where the person who knocked on his door was. He rounded the corner and stumbled back, as he was being held tightly.

"I missed you." Serena commented as she nuzzled his chest. Darien laughed and wrapped his arms around her.

"Its nice to see you too." He commented as he planted a kiss on her head. He turned motioning for her to follow him to his front room, and she did so obediently.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" Darien asked as they sat down on his couch. Serena frowned before answering.

"The girls kept from leaving the Petit Rondo today, all because of some guy named Kazuki, I mean he was cute but he wasn't all that." Serena commented as she looked over the paperwork he began to work on. Darien found it easier to do his work when he had company. He glanced at Serena and smiled. He knew that he would always be able to count on her, she was definitely not the kind of girl who would go astray.
