New Years day passed swiftly for both Darien and Serena. Serena had gotten a hold of Darien first thing the next day. They agreed to meet later on in the day at the park. Right as Serena was leaving her house the phone rang and she answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Serena it's me Ami."
"Hi Ami, what's up?"
"Nothing much what are you doing today?"
"Well I am going to be meeting Darien shortly, in fact that is where I was going before you called."
"Oh, well the girls want to have a meeting tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" Ami asked me.
"Of course. What's the meeting going to be about?" Serena asked glancing at the clock.
"We are going to discuss the enemy and the Moon Princess."
"That sounds great Ami, what time?"
"Be there by 11:00, so that we can talk for an hour then go to the Crown Arcade and have lunch."
"Okay then I will see you then, I got to go, so see you later!" Serena said.
"Okay see you tomorrow!" Ami said a second later Serena heard a click. Placing the phone down she ran out of the house calling to my parents that she would be home in a few hours.
Serena practically ran all the way to the park when she reached the bench they agreed to meet at she sat down hard. Surprised that Darien was not there before her, Serena leaned back against the back of the bench. When her right shoulder hit the back she yelled softly in pain. Her shoulder was still bruised from the fight the other day.
At the same moment she yelled Darien showed up with a look of concern on his face, "Why did you yell?"
With a small smile on her lips Serena said, "Just hit my shoulder earlier and I got a bruise, you know that I am a klutz.
"Of course I know you are a klutz Meatball Head," Darien said smiling as he took a sit next to her but she moved away from him. "But you are my klutz and Meatball Head."
Serena tried not to smile but could help it. So she smiled and Darien leaned down and kissed her tenderly. Serena then rested her head on his shoulder smiling, as she felt safe in his embrace when he put his arm around her shoulders.
They listened to the sound of the winds blow through the trees and the birds singing from both the trees and the sky as they flew from place to place. After awhile Darien asked, "What did you need to talk about?"
Serena was back to reality quickly though she wished that she did not have to tell him. "Promise me Darien that you will not get mad."
"I can never get mad at you."
"Maybe so but I must tell you this even though I am afraid that you will take it the wrong way."
Pulling back slightly Darien looked Serena directly in the eyes, "Serena what is it?"
Serena hesitated before saying, "On my way home from the temple yesterday a ran into this guy I know from school and well…" Serena looked away quickly but before continuing looked back into Darien's eyes, "he kissed me." 'Please forgive me for this little lie; I have to tell Darien that I kissed another man, though not the one I said. I cannot let him know that I am Sailor Moon, this lie is protect my fellow Sailors, you Darien, and our mission.'
Darien sat there in shock, for this is not what he was expecting. Minutes passed and he had yet to utter a word. Serena stood up with tears noticeable in her eyes. "Darien… I'm so…sorry, I tried to stop it from happening but it happened so fast. I will understand if you do not want to se- see me again," Serena manage to say as she turned to walk away.
But before she could take two steps she felt Darien's hand around her wrist. Serena was surprised when she looked into Darien's eyes and saw something, "Serena please, it just took me some time to understand what you had told me."
"I understand if you hate me and don't want to be with me."
Darien shook his head. "Serena understand that I always want to be with you, also that I will forgive you. But I need your forgiveness too," Darien said quietly looking into Serena's eyes.
"For what? I gave you your forgiveness before from when you teased me."
"Not for that, for allowing another girl to kiss me…"
Serena stood there in shock. "I…"
A/N Sorry about the cliffhanger. Please review. I am not happy with the amount I received so I left you with a cliffhanger. What do you think Serena is going to say? Will she forgive him or not?
