Disclaimer: I don't own GW or SM.

A/N: Sorry to those who were expecting that Heerow would instantly kill Darien… I need to make a reason first. And I don't really have anything against Darien.

Raye: I'm sorry if you don't like Darien it's just that he needed to be in the story.

Sam369: TY for reviewing! Heero is going to do absolutely nothing…yet. hehehe

Celestial Dreamblaze: The will is real, unless Relena made a forgery to gain control of the kingdom!

Serena Yuy: I'm still working on the explanation. It probably would come out on the next chapter.

Falconess: Glad you love it.

AMYANGEL: Enjoy this new chapter.

Lilaclight: he can't shoot him…not yet anyway. He needs to be tortured! Hehe

Chapter 9b       Angels Don't Cry

"Serena…no Usagi are you alright now?" Darien asked softly.

Serena didn't answer.

"Why don't you spend the time at my place? Catch up on old times and tell me the whole story?" Darien suggested.

Serena opened her mouth at first to say no, thinking about all the dangers that were present and how she didn't want to involve Darien if any of the assassins did come attacking, but there was this urge in her to vent her frustration out. She finally nodded.

At Darien's place which was quite close to the mansion…

"Here why don't you drink this glass of water…" Darien offered.

Serena drank it down with a gulp.

"I hate her! I hate her! It's all her fault!" Serena said angrily. "Father never gave me a chance because in his eyes I can never measure up to Relena! Hell I was only 10 years old when Relena was striving peace! A peace that I know would never last!" Serena exploded.

Darien listened patiently rubbing her back comforting her.

Serna continued to bicker how unfair everything was. She poured out All her childish jealousy and all that she can think of to prove that it was all Relena's fault why her father didn't leave her the kingdom or her title as Princess Serenity of the Sanq Kingdom.

All the time Serena ranted Darien never interrupted…after Serena was nearly done…

"So its all Relena's fault is it?" Darien asked quietly.

"Everything!" Serena affirmed grabbing a tissue to wipe her eyes. She missed the malicious glint that took over Darien's eyes when she spoke.

"Now, now don't cry. It doesn't suit a princess as beautiful as you." Darien chided.

Serena hiccupped. "Oh I forgot to ask, how did you get inside the mansion Especially with all the guards that are stationed everywhere?" Serena asked after a thought. Her head was finally clearing after her earlier frustration and something doesn't feel right.

"I have my ways." Darien answered mysteriously.

"Now…wait a minute how did you know that it was me?" Serena asked with a frown.

Darien sighed. "Of course, I wasn't sure at first. I had to figure out if you and Usagi were the same. That's why I took the chance to break into the palace." Darien explained carefully. "You never did tell me of your background as the missing Peacecraft all those days we were dating." Darien scolded.

"But why?" Serena asked perplexed referring to his earlier statement of breaking into the mansion to speak to her.

"Isn't it obvious Usagi?" Darien smiled patronizingly. "I missed you."

Serena's eyes widened in surprise, "Umm…" Serena fidgeted uncomfortable. She and Darien used to date when she was younger but before she disappeared she had realized that she doesn't feel any romantic feelings for him at all and she had broken up the relationship. They had parted on good terms. Darien is handsome and popular and Serena didn't know that he'd still be carrying a torch for her.

"It's not like that. You were the only one who had been able to make me smile you know." Darien said quickly.

"OH." Serena nodded unsure of what to say. She checked her watch and choked. It was after midnight! The others are going to kill her for disappearing unprotected again.

"I'd better go." Serena said standing up from the couch they were sitting.

Darien grabbed her arm. "Stay. Why don't you spend the night here. You obviously need a friend and I have a room to spare." Darien invited.

"I really don't want to bother you." Serena started staring at his hand still on her arm. "I've bothered you enough complaining about my problems with Relena." Serena added.

"Oh…yes. Relena." Darien spoke, his eyes hardening, this time Serena noticed. He let go of her arm absentmindedly. Serena backed away.

"The one who made you cry." Darien remarked in a careless manner.

"Shall I drive you back?" Darien offered his voice again friendly staring intently at her.

"Ummm…" Serena again hesitated.

"Why don't you stay at Rei's place for a while. It's near here." Darien suggested.

"Okay." Serena nodded grateful. "I don't want to face Relena and the G-boys so soon but I don't want to stay with Darien either." Serena thought.

Meanwhile Heero was watching through his specialized equipment, (I don't know what it is) which can make him listen to their conversation and watch their profiles from outside the house. He saw Darien leaned in closer and grabbed her arm and was tempted to barge in and haul Serena back home whether she liked it or not, away from this stranger. "What's keeping me from doing so anyway? I can kill him and no one would care." Heero thought with a scowl, His blood boiling, this Darien guy was so close.

Flashback

Heero saw Darien coming closer to Serena. He saw him place his hand at her shoulder. He was getting ready to shoot when he heard the name again. "Usagi." That's what this guy was calling her. Where had he heard that name before? Heero thought hard… "Trowa!" He mentioned that, that girl Mina called Serena Peacecraft the name. Heero at first thought it was some kind of nickname.

"What should I do now?" Heero thought with a frown. Should he shoot the damn creep for daring to stand so close to his Princess or find out Serena's relation to this girl Usagi. That name was mentioned in his earlier mission, he had to find someone named Usagi Tsukino but the problem is all files were erased about her. As though she never existed. The only living information that Usagi once existed was from the disk that is now on Heero's possession.  

So with a heavy heart, Heero allowed them to go, following closely not trusting this guy for one bit.

End Flashback

So here he was now, hiding atop a tree. He watched as Serena and the guy went out again to who know where and followed them again.

Darien and Serena were driving towards a familiar neighborhood. Serena heaved a sigh. Darien glanced at her. The car finally stopped. "We're here now." Darien informed her.

Serena got out and gave Draien a little smile. "Thanks Darien…" Serena said looking down.

"No problem. And don't cry anymore k Usagi? Relena shouldn't have made you cry like that." Darien said his eyes serious; he lifted her chin up and stared into her eyes. Serena waved a dismissive hand and knocked on the door. Darien gave her a hug and went back to his car he drove off as soon as the door opened.

"Usagi?!" Someone squealed opening the door. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming!" The girl with black hair and violet eyes reprimanded.

"I'm sorry Rei, can you spare a room for the night?" Serena asked tired. "I'd also need to borrow some of your clothes."

"Sure, you now you're always welcome." Rei opened the door wider and Serena got inside. "Thanks."

Inside… "How did you get here, away from that elegant mansion and ditch those gorgeous guards of your?" Rei asked serving tea. Rei forgot her question when she saw how tired Serena look, she had obviously been crying. "You didn't just drop by for a casual chat did you?" Rei asked quietly.

Serena shook her head and started to repeat her story.

After she had finished… "You say Darien took you here?" Rei asked surprised.

"Yes…" "Why do you look so surprised?" Serena asked quizzically.

Rei swallowed. "Usagi, after you disappeared…4 months later Darien did too. No one had seen him for at least 6 months." Rei told her. Serena frowned.

"Why don't I take you to your room?" Rei suggested. Serena nodded grateful, terribly tired, it was nearly dawn.

Heero was a bit relieved when Serena went inside the house and Darien had gone away. He was still wary though. He checked his watch it was 3 am already. He never did get any rest after his mission. Glancing around the neighborhood, it looked peaceful enough…but still. Calling through his cell phone, he called security to send at least a dozen men over to watch Serena. "Watch her wherever she goes, but don't ever let her know that you're following her." Heero instructed, "contact me when there's trouble."

The chief of the guards nodded.

Heero stayed at a motel close to the neighborhood. He went to bed to sleep, exactly at 8 am his cell phone rang. Grabbing it, expecting that Serena is in danger again he was surprised when Quatre spoke.

"Heero where are you?" Quatre asked. His voice was starting to blur. "Damn, I forgot to charge!" Heero though annoyed. Before the line completely went dead however. Quatre was able to tell his message.

"Come home quick! Relena has been KIDNAPPED!" Quatre said frantic. Then the line went dead…
