Once Mina had cheered up Kazuki asked her if she knew where to find Serena and Lita, because he knew that they would want to know. Mina nodded and then ran upstairs to get dressed. Kazuki stood up wandering around, and looked at all the pictures of Mina as a little girl. She was so cute, with her big blue eyes and her cute little blonde hair. He saw the pictures of her with her family and smiled, they looked very handsome. (Just so you know, I am completely making this stuff up about her family, if I knew what they looked like I would have to say this but I don't)
Her father was tall and lean, with very strong facial features and blonde hair, and Mina looked very identical to him. Her mother had gorgeous brown hair, and it looked like there were natural streaks of blonde in it. Her hair was quite lengthy, and Kazuki guessed that that was where she had gotten her hair length from, her mothers eyes were blue as well, he smiled, they were just as beautiful as Mina's eyes. Mina's father was holding her on his shoulders and her mother leaned up against her father, her head resting lovingly on his arm.
Kazuki sighed slowly and then decided to wander around to look at the other pictures.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mina brushed her hair out slowly, her mind going back to the familiar sensation that she felt while Kazuki held her. Where had she felt that loving feeling before? She thought deeply, unconsciously brushing all the tangles out of her hair.
Artemis purred loudly, breaking her concentration. Mina jumped, not noticing that the cat had wandered mindlessly into her room. See looked down at him and smiled, closing the door quietly just in case Kazuki could hear them talking.
"Yes?" She asked smiling broadly. Artemis looked at her in complete seriousness.
"I don't like the vibe that I am getting from that guy." Mina scoffed and then turned to look back into her mirror setting her brush down.
"I'll admit he's different, but there is something so familiar about him, and I just cant seem to stop thinking about it. Artemis give the guy a chance its not like he is so completely evil you know." Mina said as she stripped out of her pajamas. Artemis jumped onto the window seal and stared out of it, thinking about what he had heard Kazuki say about Rei disappearing.
Mina put on a pair of blue shorts, and a white t-shirt that didn't go down passed her waist. She slipped on a blue jean jacket and then tied her hair up in a bow. She smiled at Artemis and then ran down the stairs, putting her socks on as she descended them.
Kazuki turned towards her and smiled warmly, she looked so cute like that.
"Well lets go get Lita and Serena." Mina suggested as Kazuki left his post from looking at a picture of Mina and her friends at the beach. Mina slipped on her tennis shoes and then followed Kazuki locking the front door behind her.

Serena woke up with the sun shining in her eyes. She rolled over in the bed throwing her pillow over her head and tried her best to go back to sleep. She inhaled through her nostrils, smelling Darien all around and remembered that she wasn't at home. She got up and sleepily wiped her eyes as she walked into the living room.
Darien looked up from his work that he hadn't managed to finish the night before and smiled warmly at her. He couldn't help but think that he looked so cute when she first woke up.
"Hey Serena." He said as he stretched. He was back to calling her Serena again, but at least Serena knew that he wasn't so insecure anymore. Serena managed a smile and then turned back around and walked into Darien's room. Darien raised an eyebrow, but then went back to doing the last of his work.
Serena emerged from the room with her toothbrush and a new set of clothes and headed for the bathroom. Darien watched her, without her knowledge, still thinking about what he had said to her last night. 'I'm just not used to anyone loving you but me.' He frowned because what he really wanted to say hadn't come out. He took a sip of coffee and then continued to do his work.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena emerged from the bathroom dressed in pink overalls with little white rabbits over them. She wore a white T-shirt underneath it and had rolled the pant legs up to her knees. Her socks were pink it little bunny ears on it, and Darien couldn't help but smile. She had left her hair down however, not putting it in its usual style.
"Your hair looks nice like that." He replied sweetly. Serena barely managed a smile; Darien knew that something was bothering her. He was debating on whether or not to ask her about it, but she slumped down on the couch and proceeded to ask him what he was doing. He said that he was taking the information that he had gotten at work on the position of certain meteors that were closing in, and had to use mathematics to tell how far away from earth they would strike.
Serena frowned. Meteors usually meant evil beings in her case, but she still could use something to release on. Stress had finally caught up to her, and not to mention she didn't get much sleep last night because of that strange dream that she had. Her mind wandered back to it.
~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~*^*~
She wandered around Tokyo aimlessly. The stars were shining brightly, and the moon shone dimly. She smiled and somehow she was thinking of spending a moment with Darien under the stars.
Soon Darien appeared out of now where before her and he smiled at her, taking her into his arms. He placed his lips on her forehead, then to her cheek and then to her lips. His tongue traced her lips begging for entry, and she immediately complied. The kiss was passionate and heat radiated between their bodies.
When she pulled away she found herself barely able to breathe, and her heart pounded in her chest.
"Darien." As soon as she had whispered his name he had disappeared. Serena shook her head and stood in that same spot, the scenery around her changing. She blinked for a moment, but the saw a pair of steps in front of her, and beautiful cherry blossoms all around her. This place reminded her of something, but somehow she couldn't place it. She walked up the steps quickly, wanting to know what this place was.
AS she approached the tops of the steps she stopped noticing a raven haired girl, it was Rei.
"Rei." She called out, but she hadn't heard her, something else was preoccupying her. Serena turned around and gapped. There was a man standing in front of her, with a huge black creature that smelled of acid and poison. The dog jumped over to Rei, and the man walked through Serena.
Rei transformed immediately and then attacked the man with her fire arrows. He dodged each shot. The dog had then jumped on top of her attacking her, and burning her flesh. Serena gasped and grabbed hold of her brooch, trying to transform, but it wasn't working.
Soon her friend was thrown through the doors of her shrine and the man disappeared into it. Serena ran to the doors of the shrine, terrified at what was happening. The man had lifted her up by her hair and smiled, then Rei cried out in pain.
Serena's eyes widened in amazement and shock. His hand had gone right through her. Serena yelled and screamed at him, trying to get him to stop. The man turned around slightly and smiled at her.
"Hello Serenity." He said smiling malevolently. Serena looked hard at him trying to see him under his bangs, but failed. He turned his attention back to Rei and pulled his hand out of her chest. His fist was clenched and he clutched something tightly. He grabbed Rei's limb body around her waist and turned facing Serena. He stepped up close to her and whispered something in her ear.
"It's a far better thing Serenity." And with that the beast ran up to him and all three of them disappeared. Serena's heart ached as she tried to figure out what happened, but then the sun came up blinding her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena folded her arms across her chest still trying to figure out what that dream meant, but most of all how was he able to see her when Rei didn't even know that she was there. It had to be a dream, but it felt so real, and she was able to feel his breath on her neck. Serena touched the place where she felt it, it was normal, but then again it wasn't.
Darien stood up and stretched, rubbing his hands over his stomach.
"Well Serena, I have to get to work now, wanna walk me? Maybe I can get you to stay with me, there, but you have to stay out of the way of the other scientists." Serena shook her head and looked at Darien, her train of thought disintegrating.
Darien helped her up and then went to slip on his shoes. Serena put her tennis shoes on quickly and stepped out of his door. She paused as she saw something sitting in front of her. Darien has grabbed his keys and went to close his door, when he stopped and looked at what Serena was staring. It was a bundle of roses with a teddy bear and an envelope. Darien looked at her wondering is she was going to pick them up and admire them or read them.
Serena giving into her curiosity knelt down and picked up the envelope. She tore it open, it was covered in tiny hearts and roses, and her name was written beautifully across the top of it. Then she slowly began to read the letter out loud.
Bunny,
I bought a bear and some roses, hoping with all of my heart that you will love them, just as much as I love you. I have been thinking really hard about how much I love you, and it stays as unconditional as others.
I need you to love me, need you to want me, and it doesn't seem to be working. As of now it doesn't seem that way, but we can make our love work, if only you would give me the time to love you, and take the time to love me. He isn't good enough for you Bunny, you and I both know that, but for some reason, you aren't thinking clearly, he can and will hurt you, and I couldn't bear to see him hurt you.
Once again I will state that I am completely in love with you, and I will do anything it takes to have you, and this way it will be a far better...
Serena's voice trailed off as she looked at the letter in disbelief. It couldn't be.. the guy in her dream had said the exact same thing, but it was just a dream right. Serena dropped the note, and thought back to her dream. Not only did he say the same exact thing, he had called her Serenity. He knew something about her, and then it dawned on her. Rei.
"Oh no." Serena said and took off running. Darien locked his door and took off after her. Serena almost made it to the door of the apartment building, when Mina, Lita, and Kazuki entered it. Serena stopped and looked at them, not seeing Rei with them.
"Serena-"Mina started but Serena cut her off.
"Where's Rei?!" She demanded trembling from fright. Darien appeared behind her and grabbed her by the shoulder and whirled her around.
"Serena what's wrong?" Darien asked her worriedly.
"Something happened to Rei, I just know it. I saw it in my dream!" Tears came to her eyes and she sunk to the floor. Mina and Lita surrounded her immediately. Mina placed a steady arm around Serena and looked at Lita, wondering how she knew about Rei already.
"Serena, something did happen to Rei, she is missing, but we can find her, just like we can find Amy." Mina reassured quietly. Serena's hands were trembling and she turned at looked at Mina helplessly.
"We cant get her back! She's gone, he took it out of her, he took it out of her." She sobbed. Darien stood there, trying to make sense of what she was crying about, but wasn't successful. Lita rubbed Serena's back gently and then spoke.
"Serena, we need to know what you are talking about, and we wont unless you calm down, and stop crying." Lita spoke softly. Serena nodded and stood up slowly, taking a deep breath and wiping the tears from her eyes. She placed her hand in the middle of her chest and looked at all of her friends. She began to speak, but stopped abruptly when her eyes landed on Kazuki.
His cold eyes stared into hers, and they kept theirs eyes locked, Serena not saying a single word.

A/N: well I hope that you enjoyed the story. This one was longer than all of my other chappies so far, not much longer, but it was longer. Well I hope you review soon. Bye Bye!
