A/N: Okay, I'm really trying to get better about posting, but I need some
encouragement. I have learned not to make any promises about when I'm
going to put chapters out. I can guarantee that there won't be any this
weekend. Because I'm about to PARTY! Anyway, I changed the rating to R
because I noticed that some of my readers are really young, like 13. That
is just a warning to them, because alcohol use is not for kids. This
chapter's name is by Biz Markie. Stupid little Mario remade the song, but
we're not going to talk about that.

Chapter 7: Just a Friend
"Wow, what a day!" Serena said breathlessly. "Are you sure you need a tour guide? It seems that you can find your way around the city pretty well."
Seiya did, from the combined intelligence that he and his brothers had gathered but he wasn't about to tell her that. Why ruin a chance to spend an afternoon with a pretty girl?
He was interrupted from his musing by Serena's sudden stop.
"Hey, Seiya," she said, "do you want to go to the arcade for dinner?"
"Sure, why not?" he asked.
Watching him from the corner of her eye, she saw that he didn't suspect anything. She was just going to bring him to the arcade, where Darien would hopefully be. 'If he saw a guy with me it might make him take me seriously,' she thought, hopefully.
She didn't know that he had already seen her earlier that day and was taking her VERY seriously. As seriously as a heart attack.

Andrew's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he saw Serena dash in with some guy that looked familiar.
"Hey Andrew! What's up with you?" Serena chirped, looking like everything was right in the world. "This is Seiya."
Andrew fervently thanked God that Darien wasn't there that night.
"What's up man?" Andrew said trying to sound as friendly as he could, which wasn't much considering the circumstances.
"Hey, what's up man?" Seiya asked.
"Not much. Where are you two coming from, a movie?"
Serena looked up at Andrew and started to grin. She knew that without a doubt Darien would be hearing all about this sometime in the near future. That was almost as good as having him here to see this. "No, Seiya's just new and I offered to show him around. I think we're gonna become good friends."
"Really? Can you tell me how good friends we are going to be?" Seiya teased.
Serena batted her eyes at him. "How friendly do you want to be?" she asked mischievously. Slyly looking at Andrew, she was pleased to see that he had the appropriately horrified expression on his face. Taking pity on him she turned to Seiya, "Why don't you go and get us some tokens so we can play a couple of games. I'll wait for the snacks."
"That's fine. See you later, Andrew." Neither guy had fooled one another. Seiya could read the vibe that Andrew was putting out loud and clear.
"Bye." Andrew wasn't going to waste any words that he didn't need to on Seiya. The guy might be alright, but he was clearly moving in on his best friend's girl.
Both blonds watched as Seiya moved towards the token machine.
"Serena, what the hell are you doing?" Andrew asked abruptly.
"I really don't have to answer that, but since you want to know so desperately," she rolled her eyes at him. "Absolutely nothing. We're just new friends. That's not a crime."
"It is when he looks at you like he does," Andrew muttered under his breath.
Serena flashed a mischievous grin at Andrew. "We're just friends," she said slowly and clearly. Not knowing that Seiya had come up behind her. His face fell when he heard her. He silently turned around to go, Andrew watching him the whole time.
"Ok, Serena," he said, deciding not push anymore. He had seen everything he needed to in Seiya's face. He was convinced that given enough time Seiya would make a move that would knock Darien out of the running for Serena's affection.

"NO!" Rei woke in a panic. "No," she repeated. Every night had been like this. Every night since that fight with Keahi.
Him.
At the time of the fight, when he had grabbed her she thought that he was just trying to hurt her physically. That night, when she tried to go to sleep she learned the truth. Her body was no longer completely in her own control. That night she learned that whenever she slept, whatever he had done to her gave him control of her body when she slept. She had woken up miles from the dojo a few times.
"Just to prove he can," she muttered.
That wasn't the worst of it. When she was awake he couldn't take any direct action but he could hear and see anything that she did. Anything she thought. She couldn't get away. And somehow she wasn't able to tell anyone about it.
Giving up on sleep for the night she moved to her vanity. Looking at herself.
Looking at the enemy within.
