Hahahahahaha!! And I'm back, with another chapter of this story. Glad you guys liked the last one. Don't worry, Serena will be safe in the end. As for all you Diamond-haters, you are going to love my story cuz he's going to be bashed. I personally love him (I love all the men in SM, though I don't like Melvin like that.) so it pains me to do this. But in the interest of writing a good fic, I will do what has to be done. *sniff* I hI'm going to prom…YAY!!! My dress is soooo delicious. Congrats to all the grads out there!!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Sailor Moon.
Serena was feeling light-headed. Yes, that was exactly how she felt, and decidedly out of focus. When she tried to stand, her legs felt like jelly, so she sat back down. Diamond looked concerned.
"Are you feeling okay? You don't look so well."
"Not really. I'm feeling a little woozy, if you know what I mean."
"Mm…would you like to lie down? You really should."
"I would, but although this is my godmother's house I don't know how she would feel about me just occupying one of her rooms, especially because I haven't been here in so long…"
"Nonsense. She'd give you the same advice I'm giving you, and a bed. You must rest. Can you walk?"
She shook her head.
"Alright then, I'll help you."
Serena looked around. She would have preferred for Mr. Chiba to help her, but she really was no condition to be choosy, so she consented. He put her arm around his neck and walked with her to and up a small side staircase that led to the manor's rooms. Once they got to a guestroom at the end of the hall, she sat on the bed and headed to the bathroom to take off her clothes. As an after thought she turned around to thank Diamond for his support, only to see him locking the door. Suddenly she felt a cold knot form in the pit of her stomach.
"Diamond…" Her voice was shaking severely. "What are you doing?"
"What I know you've been dying to do since you came in." He advanced towards her. "I saw you looking for me tonight when you were at the door. Checking your beautiful face for non-existent flaws. You wanted to be perfect, just for me, like you always do."
Her face paled in fright. She ran towards the bathroom clumsily but he got there before her and closed it. He backed her into the door and began to give her heated kisses on her lips and neck. His wandering hands moved up and found the top of her dress and eased it down along with the strapless bra and found their target. He played gently with her right nipple while nibbling her earlobe.
Serena was terrified. No man had ever touched her like this and she certainly didn't want Diamond to be the first. She knew she shouldn't have had the wine, but she'd been so thirsty… He must have put something in it. And he'd pretended to be concerned! She tried to push him away at the waist and but her hands contacted with another area of his body. He groaned and kissed her bare shoulder before she realized what she was pushing against. She pulled her hands back in disgust. He released her arms and put his hands behind her head. His breathing came in ragged gasps.
"I knew it…always knew you were naughty.", he said, referring to her accidental touch. He feasted on her neck; she struggled to hold him off. He was stronger. "And now playing hard to get." His face was now level with her cleavage. "I like that." He pulled the front of her dress down to her waist and sucked one rosy nipple into his mouth, caressing it with his tongue. Managing to get one of her legs up, she used her knee to hit him in the stomach. She heard his sharp intake of breath, and then felt searing pain when his hand tore sharply across her right cheek.
"Now listen, bitch." He dragged her to the bed, holding her wrists in a vice-like grip.
"I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I'm going to fuck you tonight whether you like it or not."
He pushed a still struggling Serena into the soft goose-down covers of the bed, pinning her hands down with his knee and then wagged a finger.
"So you might as well cooperate with me and be a good girl. That way, you won't get hurt."
He carefully finished removing her dress and panty, revealing smooth and creamy curves, and then finally discarding his shirt. He smiled and came down to her.
She screamed.

Darien had just escaped from one of the most boring conversations with his aunt and her friend Madame Kaibe. The woman had not a damn thing in her head but the latest fashions and the newest teas just arrived from the China and the States. He shook his head sadly as he remembered the conversation. The newest teas. Really! He met an empty table. He looked around to make sure that he'd come to the right table. It was; an empty wineglass and Serena's carefully folded napkin were on it. After a minute of closer observation, he saw Serena's purse on a chair. He picked up the forgotten item and looked around, but Serena wasn't nearby. Where could she have gone? Something clicked in his head.
Diamond.
Hadn't she been sitting with him? And hadn't he been expressing his desires to sleep with her openly? He saw Ikuko and when to her.
"Excuse me miss. Have you seen your daughter? I had left her for a moment and I think she wandered off someplace in my absence."
He hoped his voice was stronger that he was feeling.
"Actually…" She thought for a moment. "I haven't seen her since you took her away from me at the door." She smiled at him and he blushed. "It's alright," she said. "My daughter is somewhat introverted, and so she needs the attention. Look for her. You'll find her."
He thanked her and continued to search for her among the crowd. When he passed by a staircase, her heard, over the noise of the people, a high-pitched scream. He stopped and listened. After a minute of nothing he was about to move on when he heard it again. He bounded up the stairs. The scream came again, this time more panicked; desperate. It was coming from the end of the hallway. He dashed madly towards the door, hearing a voice coming from the other side.
"Scream all you want, little one. No one can hear you over the music and happy people below."
Diamond's voice.
Darien tried the door, but it held fast. He asserted more pressure, broke the lock and kicked in the door.
"No one but me!" he announced upon entry. What he saw was enough to make him kill the longhaired wretch.
There, on the bed, hands pinned above her head with golden tresses everywhere, legs open in a forced spread-eagle position by his knees and he about to enter her, a very naked Serena and an equally naked Diamond. The latter's face blanched.
"Chiba…"
He never finished what he started to say. There was a sickening crack as Darien's fist connected with the center of Diamond's face, crushing the nose bone and sending the boy spinning across the room like a Raggedy-Ann doll. Serena by now was curled up at the very top of the bed, wrapped in the sheets, watching, too shaken by what had almost happened to her to show any emotions whatsoever. Darien dragged the boy up off the floor and held him up against the wall. Diamond was in so much pain he couldn't really think straight, but he knew that at that moment, with his broken arm, face and ribs, that at the hands of the black-haired whirlwind before him, that his life was in danger. He feeble put up a hand and, in a voice made tremulous by his difficulty in breathing and overpowering fear, pleaded for mercy.
"Don't kill me…please…don't kill me…"
Darien snarled at him.
"I should. I really should, because that's the only thing I feel like doing right now."
He hit the boy across the face again with his free hand, spit on him and then let him drop to the floor.
"Son of a bitch."
He walked over to the bed. A shaken Serena who'd previously been staring blankly ahead backed away and balled up when he came near her.
"It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you. I just need to get you away from here."
He scooped her up in the sheets and carried her into another room. While he was carrying her, he noticed a large black and blue mark on her cheek.
"Did he hit you?" he asked.
She did not reply, but instead looked away. He knew the answer to that question. He took her into another room and set her down on a couch.
"Wait here. I'll be right back."
After seeing the panic in her eyes, he stroked her cheek with his thumb and added,
"Don't be afraid. I won't be gone long, and you'll be safe in here."
He left and closed the door quietly behind him. Serena now had time to think to herself. She was still terribly shaken over the previous events and was feeling drowsy. Her thoughts kept drifting to Master Chiba. He had stood up for her twice that night, and then had saved her from being defiled. She shivered at the thought of Diamond's naked body over her. But Chiba…she fond herself involuntarily attracted to him. But the more she thought about it, the more she shied away from that idea. Some men played innocent when they met you, and then turned nasty. So she knew that she definitely was not ready for another relationship this soon. She also knew that she had to avoid Chiba at all costs if she was going to keep her sanity. Chiba came back into the room, hands in his pockets. Her heart nearly stopped in her chest. Hair that had been gelled back now fell into his Prussian-blue eyes. His tie was undone and the first few buttons on his shirt were open. Yup. She was going to avoid him at all costs. He looked at her.
"Are you ok?" He sat down next to her.
"Hmm? Oh, yes…I'm fine." She pulled her makeshift covering higher up over her chest. "Why do you ask?"
"Your face is flushed. So you're either in need of oxygen or you're blushing."
She looked away, feeling her face turn a darker shade of red. He gently pulled her face back with his hand and looked into her eyes. What was he thinking? She really wasn't ready for another sexual encounter, even if it was in comfort…
"Your pupils are dilated."
"What?" She'd been so deep in her own thoughts that she hadn't heard him.
"Your pupils are dilated. Did you take anything this evening? Any medication?"
"No, but…" She thought back. "I think Diamond may have put something in what I was drinking."
He was worried for a moment but then reassured himself. Diamond didn't want to kill the girl, just make her disoriented so that he could have his way with her.
"You'll need to sleep that off. I don't know if brandy or tomato juice will neutralize the stuff you ingested, so sleep is the next best thing."
She had no qualms about his suggestion. She leaned back and drifted off. Darien stared momentarily at the door. Should he leave her? No. Her mother had said she would come to get her daughter in a while. So he too leaned back and fell asleep.
Yuko came in a half-hour later than she'd intended to. She was about to call out her daughter's name when she realized the scene she'd walked in on. On the couch, Serena and Darien lay asleep, her head snuggled into his chest and his arms firmly around her waist. As she saw that Serena was barely clothed in a sheet, she knew that they must have fallen into this position in their sleep. Her daughter's modesty would never have allowed for such thing to happen while she was awake. She walked over and tried to untwine Darien's arms from her daughter's body, but his grip only tightened. When Yuko tried it again, the boy actually growled. She wanted to laugh. In his sleep he was defensive! She stepped out into the hall and signaled for a service maid.
"Please inform Mrs. Chiba that I am going to send over Serena's school clothes in an hour's time. She'll be staying over tonight and be sure to tell her that when she finds my daughter, she is not to be disturbed. I would feel better if she wasn't. If she asks why, simply tell her that after what happened earlier this evening, her nephew has no intention of leaving her side, and I know that she is safe with him."
The maid gave a brief nod and curtsy and was off. Yuko smiled. Her daughter would be fine. She headed down the steps and out to her waiting Benz, bidding the doorman a good night.

This chapter, for some reason, seemed very awkward to me. I had a difficult time putting it together just right…in any case, I hope you enjoy it. Until next…
