~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nice to see you too, oh and by the way your looking stunning as usual….geez, you don't even say hi? Darien said sardonically
"Hi Darien" Serena smiled
Both Darien and Serena stood there looking each other in the eye, The first t move was Serena, she put her two guns aside of her and calmly spoke
"Draw on 3"
"Alrighty then…" Darien smiled at the pleasure of a quick draw!
Slowly moving backwards away from each others body they moved until they were at least 10 feet apart.
"1" the first number was called out
"2" the second number came just as fast as the first one
"You ready for this?" Serena questioned
"On 3" Darien replied
"3!"
::BLAM::
The two shots were supposedly fired one from Darien and the other from Serena, but it only sounded like one bullet was shot…they both just stood there not moving….
To the left Serena stood there looking straight towards Darien, blood started to flow, and it slowly dripped down her face, the blood seemed to be coming from a scratch on her left cheek!! The bullet must have traveled right beside her face enough to scratch her cheek!
With little relief she stared harder in Darien's sight
To the right Darien stood their…he was stunned…blood started to flow down his cheek and dripped to the ground. The same thing happened to him, the bullet traveled right beside his right cheek!
He was amazed
'I thought for sure she was going to kill me…it's a good thing I didn't fire at her heart or her head or .. Whatever, she likes me….I can't believe it...SHE LIKES ME!!' Darien thought happily
"Serena likes me, Serena likes me, Serena likes me!" Darien started to jump around and sing in joy!!
'I can't believe he has the nerve to just…jump around and say such nonsense…ohh that pisses me off' Serena turned red as the thoughts ran across her mind!!
She took out her other gun, and with two, she fired aimlessly at the jumping buffoon!! With this it brought smiles to her face!! Seeing Darien jump around faster and faster trying to miss the bullets!! Until her guns ran empty!!
"Dammitt! Right when it gets to the good part!!" Serena cussed
"Hey hey hey what in the hell was that for? I thought u liked me, I mean u do because u missed on purpose!!" Darien tried to reason
"I missed on purpose…is that what u really think? I didn't even fire at you, a spy for The Engravers was standing right over there, did u not hear his gun fire? He's the one who missed u!! Not get your story straight! You're the one who likes me, because u missed me on purpose!!" Serena smiled at her added on comment!
"WHA???????? Your lying!!" Darien tried to fight back
'How dare he call me a liar, that bastard!' Serena started to steam
"Don't believe me, look over there he's on the ground dead from my bullets!" Serena again smiled in victory
"Hah! U lie again, you said bullets and I only heard two bullets go off, it sounded close to one but I know that it was two!!" Darien spat out at her
"You idiot, do you not know who I am? I am Serena The Satin's Sinner, I murdered a whole town of innocents, I killed my own mother and brother and to top it all off I killed the one I loved most! Does that not show how heartless I am? I am the best gun fighter out there, I can promise you that!! I have unbelievable skills in the art of combat! I Know everything there is to know about guns and I am swift as a fox!! I am the best and no one is out there who can beat me! I never miss a shot if I shoot then you will know whether or not I missed!! And yet u still think I lie…I can fire 3 bullets and make it sound like one! I will shoot if you want so you can see what I am capable of, but I don't guarantee your safety!!" Serena held back her tears
'I can't believe those words just left my mouth, I have been hearing a lie all my life about what I have done and now I am fooling myself into believing its true…' Serena still held back her tears
"Again u lie once more! Though this time you lie about what you have done, or better yet what you have not done! No one could kill their family and the one they loved most and or even their own hometown!! The Engravers were the ones who destroyed you not you!! I know that you are driven by hate but what I also know is that you have a heart of gold and you obviously try to cover too much--" Darien was cut off by more gunfire!!
Avery, who was watching the whole thing, was quite amused, but she acted quickly and grabbed Hotaru then headed for the bar to meet up with the other girls!
"Serena meet at the bar, that's where the gang and everyone else should be by now okay? Don't get yourself killed!! See ya in a while!" Avery headed out of Bunker Hill
'She better be okay…' Avery thought as she ran down the street dodging bullets as they came her way!!
Darien ran and hid behind a building, with his guns in hand he took out 2 people from the rooftops of the old broken down buildings.
"Ya know Serena it doesn't help that its dark out and we can't see them..!" Darien wined and complained
"Oh would you quit your bitch'n for just once? How in the hell could you be the "Famous" Darien the Devil's Dealer! What a bunch of bull" Serena yelled back
'Meanie' Darien sniffled
Serena shot down 5 more guys and one still remained.
"Where is the other guy?" Asked Serena
"I don't know, you're the one who is the "Best" why don't you tell me?" Darien said sardonically
"Ahhh…forget you!" Serena walked into the open
'What a Dumbass, she's gonna get herself killed!!' Darien tried to hold back and stay there but it was harder then it seemed! He so badly wanted to get her out of there! He hated anybody doing stupid things when it consisted of going out in fire range!!
"I am dropping my guns, now come out, I am unarmed!!" Serena hollered into the pitch black night. She was standing in the spot light of just a single street light in that area!
She turned to Darien and winked at him! He was clueless as to what he was suppose to do!
'Does she want me to fire or something…what the hell is she doing?' he contemplated
'That boy better shoot when I get the guy to come out or else I'll shoot his ass down myself!' Serena hoped
A minute quickly passed by and again Serena shouted the same words
"I am dropping my guns, now come out, I am unarmed!!" She yelled again
"I heard you the first time, geez can't I just think about it first?" Yelled a man from somewhere in the darkness
He slowly walked out with his gun pointed to her head.
"YOU!!" Serena tried to sound surprised
"Yep in the flesh! Rubeus is the name, hey say there, don't I remember you from somewhere? Oh yea yea now I know, that bank that I robbed! Hey how's it goin? Nice to see you made it out alive!!" Rubeus smiled just remembering what had taken place!!
"Yep, that would be me! Now lets say you put down those niiice sexy guns of yours? Come on now, its not fair that...I'm a lil ole girl that's unarmed and I can't defend myself!!" Serena slowly walked towards him and ran her hands up and own his chest. She kissed the side of his face and felt that he let his guard drop a little! She took her hand and placed it behind her back and put three fingers up, slowly she put one down…
Darien on the other hand saw this and was very confused
Another finger went down…
And still nothing popped into his head, he was obviously too occupied with the way Serena was acting..
And the last finger went down, Serena moved out of range and waited for Darien to fire…well, he didn't!
Serena had to think fast before she got herself killed! She saw her guns lying right beside of Rubeus' legs and she knew it was too far and it was a one way ticket to hell if she did that! So she grabbed her Derringer under her dress attached to her thigh! Held it up to his head…
Rubeus was stunned, he had never seen such speed in all his years. He grabbed for his gun but to his surprise they were all gone! Serena smiled at him, her childish face made things a appear a bit more on the cuter side! But Rubeus was still pissed!
'I can't believe I didn't feel my guns were gone when she took them!' he thought
"…Bitch…" Was all that left his mouth
"Ya know I am so sick of people calling me by that name! I mean a bitch is a female dog, do I frigg'n look like I am down on all four legs and run around shit'n everywhere or barking when ever the hell I feel like it? No…I don't think so!" Serena bit her tongue as she fought the urge to beat him to a bloody pulp.
"And other thing, Darien, where the hell were you when I needed you?" She turned not loosing sight of Rubeus.
Darien stepped out from behind the shadows and walked towards the two in the spotlight.
"I didn't know we were partners…plus I wanted to make sure that you were who they say you were!" Darien spoke sarcastically.
'What a guy, a dumb one at that point!' Serena rolled her eyes
"Whatever, grab some rope and tie him up, I'll keep my gun on him just incase he tries anything!" Serena ordered
::CLICK::
Went the gun as it was aimed at Serena's head, only a pull of the trigger could quickly end her life in a heartbeat!
'Oh……shit!' was Serena's only thought
"You know, I'm not as dumb as I appear to be!" Darien simply stated to his victim in front of him
"Ya well, I can see that…pretty good idea, fooling me and then turning when I need help!" Serena laughed
'I can't believe she thinks this is funny' Darien thought
"Ya know what, usually I would be really pissed right about now! But I can't help but remember someone a lot like you! When I was younger this guy did the same exact thing when we first met! At that time I only knew how to use a gun! I didn't know any hand-to-hand combat…but that's why I'm thankful for him in so many ways!" Serena turned and spin kicked the gun out of his hand!!
As soon as she went to pull yet another gun out from under her dress she held it at his head, not forgetting about Rubeus, but she was surprised when Darien held another gun to her head!
Serena didn't take her eyes off of Darien, she flipped her fun and rammed the handle into Rubeus' head, knocking him unconscious.
"Well that makes things easier on my part!" Serena smiled at Darien
"Are you enjoying this or something? I have to take you in, you are my bounty, I am a bounty hunter its my job, its who and what I do! Sorry!" Darien sympathetically said
'He reminds me so much of my Darien' Serena held back the tears that began to form in her bright blue eyes.
There they stood, both holding guns to their heads, waiting for the first move to be made!
Serena was a risk taker, she took any risk whether it was a life or death situation or not! So it was only normal for her to make her move!
She slowly put down her gun to the ground and stood back up with her two arms in the air! She then started to walk towards him.
"No…I don't think so, your sex appeal doesn't work on me!" Darien laughed at Serena's attempts
"What…are you gay or something?" Serena smiled at her comeback
"WHAAT? NOOO I AM NOT GAY I LIKE WOMEN!!" He irritably yelled back
A loud banging noise was heard from behind him, he turned his glare for a quick second to see what it was.
He turned back and Serena had disappeared into the darkness!!
'Dammitt, shit, geez, why the hell does this happen to me, I had her too!' he continued with the thoughts
Serena watched in the darkness what Darien did, she was reminded of her Darien a lot when ever he came around!
"I wonder if it is my Darien?" Serena whispered

She took out her other gun, and with two, she fired aimlessly at the jumping buffoon!! With this it brought smiles to her face!! Seeing Darien jump around faster and faster trying to miss the bullets!! Until her guns ran empty!!
