~*It's a Far Better Thing*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena and Darien left the apartment shortly after Darien finished getting ready. He had went to eat some breakfast as well, and frowned when he found out that Serena had broken his plate and wasted the breakfast that he had cooked. He didn't frown so much that he was upset, but he knew that something was bothering Serena. He didn't bother to ask her, because he knew that she would have to get over it herself.
Serena held Darien's hand and exited the apartment building in silence. They walked down the noisy street quietly, Serena too deep in her thoughts to even be able to create conversation.
"Hey Bunny." Serena stopped dead in her tracks at mention of her name. She turned around and smiled. It was an aggravated smile and she went to turn back around when Darien introduced himself.
"Hey, I'm Darien Shields, what's your name?" He asked.
"I am Kazuki Shirou, its nice to meet you Darien." He said as he took his hand and shook it. Darien and Kazuki's eyes met for a few short moments, and stayed locked. Serena looked at them and frowned. Darien's eyes narrowed, and then he reluctantly pulled his hand away.
"You must be Bunny's boyfriend, I have heard so much about you." Kazuki commented and flashed Serena a quick smile. Serena leaned her head against Darien's arm, wanting to get away.
"Oh, you must be the guy Serena's friends are so in love with, I don't get it, what's so special?" That question was directed to Serena, more than Kazuki, but Darien couldn't help but smile when he got Kazuki to frown.
"So where are you headed?" Kazuki asked Serena.
"I'm walking Darien to work, we like walking better than driving, besides, it's good exercise." Serena nodded and then turned around, dragging Darien with her. Kazuki took up a place beside Serena as they headed towards Darien's work place.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So you're a scientist huh?" Kazuki asked Darien who merely nodded. Serena tugged on his sleeve, trying to get him to break eye contact with Kazuki. Darien looked down at her and smiled.
"Have a good day at work." Serena smiled as Darien's lips met with hers, savoring the gentleness that emitted from them. Serena couldn't help but melt into the gentle passion that Darien was giving her in that single moment. He parted reluctantly and then kissed the top of her head, saying bye and then entering the observatory.
Serena smiled after him and then turned around, placing her hands on her bright red cheeks.
"He seems to be quite a guy, especially if he can still make a girl blush who has been going out with him for quite a while." Serena looked at Kazuki and nodded. She looked at the ground, forgetting everything that had been happening, all because of that simple kiss. Kazuki placed a hand on her shoulder, bringing her back to reality. Serena looked at him and smiled brightly.
"Going anywhere?" He asked. Serena nodded.
"I'm going to Rei's shrine now. Want to come?" Serena ascertained. Kazuki nodded and they headed over to Rei's shrine.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena stopped dead as everything around her began to fade in and out. She wiped the sweat that was forming on her head all too quickly for her taste off and then turned to look at everyone around her. They weren't there. Serena turned in every which direction trying to figure out what was going on. She blinked her eyes and swung her arms through the air at the blackness that was surrounding her.
She placed her hands against her brooch, and the crystals' light slowly began to seep through her fingers, bringing back her vision. She heard something approach behind her, and she turned around quickly, and saw nothing. She took a couple steps forward and stopped. Something blue and slender was under her foot.
Staying in tune with her surroundings, she knelt down and picked it up, her eyes widening. Her mouth hung open and tears appeared in her eyes. It was Amy's transformation stick.
"No..." She murmured and then looked up, her hot, blinding tears flowing swiftly down her face. She took another step forward looking at the figure that lay in front of her. She knelt down and touched her face; it was as cold as ice.
"Amy." She managed to say through all of her sobs. A low growl emitted from behind her and she turned around quickly. Smoke shot out in every which direction, blinding Serena. Wind rushed passed her face.
"Whose there?!?!" Serena demanded as she stepped back, frightened at what was going on around her. She heard a low chuckle and then everything was quiet.
The smoke cleared and Serena looked around. Amy's body was gone, without a trace. The people around her reappeared and she finally became aware of someone shaking her. She shook her head, and looked into a pair of dark, yet concerned eyes. Her breath was in her throat for a moment, before she actually knew what she was looking at.
"Bunny are you alright?" Kazuki asked. Serena nodded as he took her in his arms. Serena blinked for a moment and pulled away slowly.
"What was that for?" Serena asked, confused at his sudden kindness.
"Well you just collapsed, and I thought you were unconscious, but then you just stood up, and you were muttering something, it worried me, is all." He commented as he took her hand in his. Serena's face turned bright red, but she could only think of how warm and soft his hands were.
"Let's get going to Rei's shrine now." Serena suggested as she took her hand away from his. Serena however, still clutched Amy's transformation stick.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Serena!" Rei yelled as she ran over to greet her friend. Rei stopped dead in her tracks as Kazuki appeared at the top of her stairs. She smiled and then looked to Serena with wide eyes.
"He ran into Darien and I, while I was walking him to work, then he asked if he could come with me to your shrine, I just couldn't refuse him." Serena said, thinking about the way Darien kissed her once more. She clenched her fists tightly, and felt the cold, transformation stick in her hand. She looked down at it and then to Rei.
"I found this." Serena whispered as Kazuki stepped closer to them. Serena opened her palm and showed Rei. Rei reached her hand out and touched it, shivering as cold ripples were sent through her body.
"But...Amy would never leave this behind, just lying on the ground somewhere." Rei murmured, her eyes meeting Serena's sad blue eyes. Rei knew something was wrong.
"Kazuki! Why don't you go hang out with my grandfather, he's teaching a class, maybe you would be able to attend even though you aren't in proper attire." Rei giggled as she motioned to the temple. Kazuki raised and eyebrow, but listened, and walked into shrine.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I don't understand, you mean that you saw Amy just lying there and then she disappeared?" Mina asked, in disbelief. Serena nodded, barely able to keep the tears from escaping her eyes. Lita wrapped her arms around Serena, in an attempt to comfort her.
"So, the same thing that happened to me, happened to Amy as well, but why?" Rei asked. Lita looked at Serena, who was still shaken from recalling the events that happened earlier in the day. Mina held Amy's transformation stick, still trying to believe that her friend was taken from her.
"Then when she was gone, I saw the people around me, they acted as if nothing had happened, but Kazuki, he said that I collapsed, and then stood back up muttering something, but it just doesn't make sense." Serena replied once more. Luna let out a long exasperated purr, and then spoke out.
"It seems that you may have crossed over into an alternate dimension at the moment, nobody was around you when you were in it, but you were able to get Amy's transformation stick, but not Amy, which means that it is possible to bring things back from that 2nd dimension." Luna finished. Artemis nodded agreeing with Luna.
"Without Amy's computer though, we wont be able to see if anything was disrupted in that area. For now, all we can say is be on your guard, and if something gets fishy, transform right away." Artemis suggested plainly. Serena looked at the two cats and nodded. She stood up and stretched, still bugged by what happened.
"I am going to tell Darien what happened, but before that, can I have something to eat, because I am totally hungry." She commented as her stomach growled loudly. Lita chuckled and the got on the phone to order pizza.
