~*It's A Far Better Thing*~
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~
Serena nestled down on Darien's bed and looked towards the door. He was sleeping on the couch again. Serena sighed angrily. The whole point of her being there was so that she can feel his warmth again, the warmth that he displayed while they were at her house after she had given him that rose.
Serena shook her head, it was that rose that made Darien act so sensual in the first place, but he looked at it with so much distaste when she had handed it to him. They weren't off speaking terms yet, but Serena wanted to kill him. He had just shoved her into his room and basically ordered her to say in there.
Serena placed her head in her hands, she could tell that what Darien had told her about him wanting her, unnerved him. Maybe it was jealousy that made him act to awkward and agitated towards her, and he did try to get her to stop from coming to his apartment with him. Serena huffed in frustration.
'He's so complicated at times!' Serena screamed in her mind. She finally swung her bare legs up onto the bed and lay down. She had forgotten to pack pajamas with her, because she was in such a hurry to leave, so she had to use one of Darien's bulky T-Shirts. She tugged at the soft cotton, running her fingers over it, smiling. Darien had good taste in clothes.
Serena sighed, she had two more days left until Saturday, and then she wouldn't be able to hang out with her friends because of family outings. She sure hoped that the week would slowly drag on.
There was a quiet knock on her door, which jolted Serena out of her not so complex thoughts. "Come in." She remarked as she sat up in the bed. The room smelled like Darien so much, like his green tea shampoo, and his wonderful cologne that basically made Serena high; those had to be the one of the only reason she just loved staying at his house.
Darien stepped into his room and smiled at her, she looked so cute in that T-Shirt. He ran his fingers through his hair and then sat down on the bed next to her.
"I'm sorry about just now, I was feeling awkward and stressed out, I just don't know what I was thinking." He placed a hand on her thigh, a gesture that was asking for forgiveness, but as soon as he had did that, he started to pull his hand away. Serena was too quick.
She slowly pulled his hand up and pressed her soft lips against it. Darien didn't understand why all of a sudden he was feeling so sensual, and it was bugging him. He took his hand away as soon as Serena had loosened her grip on it and stood up. Serena turned away from him slightly.
"Maybe we should be getting to bed." Serena motioned to the bed and Darien shook his head.
"You should be getting to bed, I am going to hit the couch, and finish up some paper work, night Bun." Serena smiled broadly, he was back to calling her by her nickname, she thought that he was being very cute.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^*~*^~*^
He smiled at his newest prize. The raven-haired girl had used something to change her appearance. His lips curved into a smile as he tossed her to the ground. Something black and gooey wrapped around her body, and lifted her up. Her head tilted to the side, and her eyes were slightly open, revealing her dilated colorless pupils.
She was being held up, and her body was binded together, as if she were tied up. The white haired man stepped up to Rei and placed his hand against her almost bare chest. He narrowed his eyes for a moment and then slowly pulled his hand away. A small red bulb floated in front of Rei's body, just as a blue one floated in front of Amy.
He smiled and then turned to his beast, scratching it behind its ears, which were hidden under a huge tangle of fur.
"Well Inuki, if all goes well, we will have more loved ones, but if all went well to begin with, we wouldn't have to have them." His eyes narrowed slightly, his plans seemed to be failing, but if he would just let her know, then there wouldn't be a problem. He smiled wickedly as an idea flashed through his brain.
"I have the most wonderful idea Inuki." A wine glass appeared in his hand as he sat down and he swirled the bluish liquid around in his cup. (I promise that you will find out what he is actually drinking later on in the story.) Inuki only growled.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~
"Darien, wait, please wait." Serena had jumped off the bed and grabbed him by the arm. He was acting too strangely for her taste and she wanted to figure out what was wrong. She pulled him closer to her and hugged his arm tightly.
"What's wrong Darien? Look I'm really sorry about what is going on, and I can understand that you are under a whole lot of stress, but you could at least be calm and tell me why you are feeling the way you are. I have never seen you act this way before." Darien looked down at her. He was acting this way because he suddenly lusted for her, and he wanted their relationship to be pure. He couldn't let her know what he wanted so he merely shook her off and continued to walk out into the living room.
Serena huffed in exasperation and followed him quickly. Darien sat down and began to work on his laptop, but Serena slammed it shut. Darien looked up at her, his fingers barely making it out alive from that brutal attack.
"I will not be ignored Darien." She said sternly. She unplugged the laptop, angry with herself for being so rash, and then angry at the fact that she had gotten angry at Darien. She set the laptop down as Darien scowled. He was lucky that he had saved his data before she had closed it on him, but was still upset at the fact that she was being so pushy.
"Darien, what's wrong?" Serena demanded as she crossed her arms across her chest. Darien looked at her and shook his head.
"I already told you, I want you, and I just, I just don't want our relationship to be like that." He stood up, cursing himself for this sudden weakness. Serena tilted her head and a smirk appeared on her face.
"Darien, there is nothing wrong with that. We have been going out for what, 6 years now? Of course you would want me; you have always wanted me. We. Are. In. Love. L-O-V-E. That's what is supposed to happen." Darien began to pace in front of her and she shook her head in amusement.
"Nobody but me has ever told you that they loved you." He murmured. Serena lifted her head and backed away. She tilted her head to the side and let a small giggle escape her. So that was it, he was jealous. Or maybe not so much as jealous, but afraid that she was going to leave him for this guy, this guy that she didn't even know. Darien let out a long sigh and then reached into his pocket digging out an envelope. He turned around, facing Serena and handed it to her.
Serena looked at it blankly and then her eyes narrowed.
"Darien, when did you get this?" She asked quietly. Darien closed his eyes and let out a small sigh.
"This morning before we had left to work. Serena, how did this guy know you were here?" Darien sat down and Serena simply glared. The envelope did not just have her name on it, but it had 3 red hearts colored on it. Serena opened it slowly, reluctant to read it to Darien, and then her eyes widened as she took a dry rose out of it. She looked at it for a moment, before pulling out the letter.
Bunny,
I don't know how I can put into words what you mean to me. I want you to love me, but you wont. I don't understand how I can get you to comply, but I suppose I will just have to wait.
Leave him now, he isn't for you, but I am. I can give you everything that you want, and everything that you need, if you let me. I love you with all of my heart, and it burns with intensity whenever I think of you. I am tired of staying far from you, but I am sick of being ever so close to you.
The only way to get rid of this feeling is to be with you. I am tortured without you. If this doesn't change your mind I have no clue as to what will. I love you Bunny, and I will continue to love you, but you must leave him. He will hurt you, and I couldn't bear for you to lose any more that you need. It's a far Better thing.
Your Secret Admirer
Serena was even more puzzled at this letter, and it had been written before the last one that she read. She remembered that she had the other one in the pocket of her skirt. She wondered if she should pull it out now, but decided against it, she knew Darien had been jealous as soon as he had seen this, but then when he had saw the flowers, that almost sent him over the edge. He wanted their relationship to be final, so that the man pursuing her would finally get the picture and leave her alone.
It took Serena a while before her eyes met with Darien's, his question finally sinking into her. How did he know that she was there? Serena bit her lower lip and sunk down next to him.
"You don't think that he is following me do you? I mean he could have just asked around for where I was." Serena didn't want to let on that she was frightened, but Darien saw through the front that she was trying to put up.
"No, because it would come to this, how would he have known that you weren't at your house. Serena you are most likely being followed, and if this man is stalking you then we need to go to the police. If anything strange happens, go talk to him right away, Are we clear on that?"
"Crystal." Serena stood up and dropped the letter onto the table. She then sauntered over to Darien's bedroom and stopped in the doorway.
"Darien, do you think that, he could really be dangerous?" Serena turned her head around and looked at Darien, he looked so serious, and worried. Serena got the picture and turned around and went into his bedroom closing the door behind her to wait for the crimson morning to awaken her.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~
Mina awoke the next morning and ran down the stairs in her P.J.'s. Someone was pounding on her door and she wanted to know why. She flung open her door and gapped in surprise at who she saw standing there. She couldn't even find the words to say hello to her guest.
"Mina, today I went to Rei's shrine to see if she could teach me about fire- gazing and now she's missing." Mina's eyes widened and motioned for him to come in. Her hair was a mess, but he didn't seem to mind.
"Wait a second Kazuki, what do you mean Rei is missing?" Mina asked in frustration.
"And how did you know where I lived?" She asked again shaking her head still trying to wake up. Kazuki took a deep breath and explained. As soon as he had heard of Rei's disappearance, he decided to look, Mina, Lita, and Serena up. He had gone to Serena's house since she was closet, but she wasn't there, so he decided to come to Mina's house after he looked her up again to double check where she lived. Since she was the second closet to Rei's shrine, he decided that it would be best for him to come to her house. Mina sat down quietly taking it all in.
First Amy, and now Rei. Mina placed her head in her hands, she felt like crying. Kazuki placed an arm around her knowing that she was upset.
"Amy is missing too. Now Rei, they are just disappearing without a trace, I don't know what to do. We already had a missing person report filed for Amy, but now we have to do one more. Damn it!" Mina sobbed out loud and Kazuki tightened his hold on her. He hated to see someone as lovely as her get hurt like this. His lips touched the top of her head unconsciously, wanting to get closer to her. Mina felt him kiss her, and immediately stopped talking.
She looked up at him, her tear stained face showing her innocence. Kazuki looked at her and smiled.
" I wish that I could do something for you right now Mina-chan, I really wish that I could." He kissed the top of her head once more and then placed his head against hers. Mina blinked, her face turning bright red. Why did this feel so familiar? Mina placed her hands against his chest wanting to pull away, but she couldn't. She let out a small sigh and leaned her head against his chest, smiling briefly, and then coming to tears because of her friends disappearances.

A/N: Well there ya go, I really hoped that you enjoyed my story so far, and please review, it's the only thing that keeps me writing this, I am ever so glad that you are enjoying ever chapter. Sorry that nothing much really happened in this chapter, and if they talked too much, I apologize about that. And as to Darien's behavior, well he is just feeling a little insecure, and he is suddenly lusting for her because the secret admirer gave her red roses, and roses stand for love, and he feels that nobody should have the right to love Serena except for him. Well as for that explanation, I wrote it because I confused myself when I read that, but hopefully you weren't getting confused. Well bye bye!
