Well anyway read and enjoy and comments and suggestion is accepted with open arms. Hehe! (Just like the last chapter)=) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sailormoon is not mine. I wish it was. Did I say this already? Uh...well here goes... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Serenity couldn't believe what she was hearing. Of course she knew that Danny "liked" her as in past tense but she never thought that he would still like her.

"I don't understand...What about Lita?" She stammered.

Danny slammed his hand in the nearby wall and paced around the room. "It's all a lie, Serenity. There is no Lita! I'm not happy with you and Darien together, okay?"

Serenity opened her mouth and closed it again. What was she going to say? She was so happy that she wasn't able to realize that Danny was lying all along and that means if he is not happy then...

"So you really didn't care if Darien died in Beryl's hands, didn't you? As long as I was alive! You don't care about your brother!" Serenity wailed.

Danny looked at her with angry eyes.

"Don't say things that have no facts. I love and care for Darien since I was a baby boy! You don't even know how I always tricked Beryl just so that I could keep the two of you alive! Now you know why I am so good in lying." Danny hissed furiously.

"Why?...You see we're happy now. Why ruin it?" She asked softly feeling tears falling down from her eyes.

Danny looked away. He couldn't stand to see Serenity cry because of him. "I'm sorry that I have to be so unfortunate to fall in love with my brother's wife."

"Danny please release me...it's painful."

Danny sighed and began to untie the rope in her hands. Her long fingers and soft skin made him sighed once and again.

When Serenity was already untied, she looked at him and smiled softly. "It's okay to fall in love Danny but if she doesn't feel the same for you then it is called unrequited love. Someday, I'm sure you'll find your soul mate and you'll thank me for it."

Danny stared at her and he began to cry.

It is not so easy for him to listen to her tell him this things. After all these years of plotting and scheming to get her love. She's as loyal as hell towards Darien and she just tells him to thank her for rejecting him whole!

Serenity hugged him and patted his shaking back. "Shh, don't cry..." She whispered.

"I..th...think you're right..." Danny stuttered. "Could you do me a favor?" He asked her.

"All right."

"Could you tell Darien that you came here with me because I had something to show you and promise to me that you won't tell him about this incident?"

Serenity looked at his sorrowful handsome face and nodded.

"I promise."

Suddenly someone barged in the door and then Darien appeared looking more angrier than ever. He scanned the room and his eyes widened with horror when he saw Serenity hugging Danny in her chest. What the hell!

"What's going on in here?" He roared and glared at Danny.

Serenity kept her mouth close and so did Danny. None of them had the explanation for this hugging thing and if they did then the secret will be out.

"Get off!" Darien shouted angrily startling Serenity and making Danny jump out of Serenity's hug.

"Danny I never thought that you would do this to me. First you help, Beryl and now you take my wife! How could you do this?!" He asked ferociously.

"I..." Danny looked down.

Darien grabbed his brother. "Why?! Answer me!" He demanded.

"Please let's stop this..." Serenity begged.

Darien released his brother and stalked towards Serenity. "Now, your on his side! He's the enemy, Serenity! And why were you hugging him?!"

Serenity gaped at Darien and began to sob. Why was he so angry? Did he assume that I was doing indecent things with his brother?

"It's none of your business!" Serenity spat. She felt hurt and angry. How could he think of her like that?

Darien's blood began to boil.

"Of course it's my business! You're my wife and I see another man in your arms. How is that supposed to make me feel? Am I supposed to forget everything?" He asked sarcastically.

"I can't believe you Darien Endymion! You're being arrogant and unkind. Do you really think it's possible for us to betray you?" Serenity asked angrily.

"Now I'm the enemy!" Darien shouted.

"You know what? I shouldn't have remembered you or any of my memories. I had a very peaceful life back when I was just Mr. Harrison. I wouldn't have worried if my wife was doing it with another man or my brother because I didn't remember you!" Darien said angrily and went out of the door and out of the house.

Could this be out of her life too?

Serenity sobbed sorrowfully and this time it was Danny who comforted her. "I'm sorry, I let you promise. You should have just told him the truth." Danny admitted sadly.

"No, you did the right thing. I realize that he thinks that I'm just this whore! I never thought..." She sobbed brokenly.

"Please don't say that, Serenity. He loves you more than his life and if I were you, I would be happy by that fact alone." Danny said.

Danny finally realized the trouble he had brought between Serenity and Darien. This was all his fault and it was his responsibility to fix this.

It didn't matter if Serenity didn't love him because now he knew that she cared about him. That alone made his heart happy and he knew that Serenity and Darien was meant to be together.

He would forget about his insecurities and fix this.

"Tomorrow, we're going back to France." Danny said to Serenity.

"But..."

"This needs to be fixed, Serenity. This is just a big misunderstanding caused by me and I need to fix this or I will regret this for the rest of my life." Danny explained.

Serenity smiled and nodded her head. "Thanks." She said softly.

~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Darien slammed to the door and sat stiffly at his bed. This bed...this bed where Serenity used to sleep? He sat up and stared at the bed disgustingly.

"What the hell just happened there? Are they lovers?" He thought angrily and then he kicked a nearby trashcan and sent it crashing towards the wall.

He remembered Serenity's angry face. "Why should she be angry? The role was reserved for him, not for her and why the hell was she defending Danny? I thought Danny kidnapped her..."

He was so confused.

Knock! Knock!

Darien ignored it and continued to pace around the room.

"Your highness?" Kate opened the door and came in the room. "What happened?" She asked softly.

Darien continued to ignore her.

Kate looked at him and waited for an answer.

"Did Danny mention something about having an affair with Serenity?" Darien suddenly asked.

Kate shook her head. "What do you mean? Danny was always talking about his unrequited love for Serenity. That's impossible beside even though I don't like the Princess, I know that she isn't the type to cheat."

"Whatever you say, I saw them...embrace...passionately..." Darien felt his heart burn and his knees weakening from the sight that he saw. Jealousy engulfed him sucking the light within him only leaving the hollow pit of darkness.

Kate shook her head again and before leaving the room she asked him, "There's an explanation for everything."

"Wait!" Darien called.

Kate stopped walking and her eyes widened. "Do you know that you're only half-brothers with Danny?" She asked anxiously.

"What? No but we have the same parents."

Kate smiled smiles that Darien apparently did that know that there was a hidden meaning behind that smile. "Have you ever notice that Danny is insecure with his self?" She asked.

Darien tried to remember but nothing...so he just shook his head.

"Danny has always envied you Darien. Do you know that Danny is older than you?"

Darien gaped at Kate this time. His parents told him that he was the older one. He even saw their birth certificates. "No! You're lying...if he was older then the throne should have been passed on to him and not to me."

"Well, isn't that too bad?" Kate asked sarcastically recalling the day when Danny told her his secret. She promised Danny not to tell it to anyone but this time, this secret must be used to make Darien understand.

"I don't understand."

Kate looked at him and explained, "When the king married your mother, she was already secretly pregnant with another man's um...you know and the king did not know yet until he was beginning to get suspicious especially during her early labor. That was just abnormal so he hired this doctor for some blood testing and then BAM! The secret is revealed."

Darien frowned as he let brain absorb this new really strange information.

"So..." Kate continued. "They had a fight for a year but then they couldn't get a divorce or it would be a huge scandal so they began to repair their friendship but they had agreed that the first son would not get the crown since it was another man's son."

"I see..." Darien muttered.

"When Danny knew this, he was 14 years old. He already knew that he was not the younger brother. He already knew he was the unwanted child. He loved you but he always envied the fate you have and now his jealousy is much greater because you have captured the heart of the girl of his dreams. Please, understand him, Darien?"

Darien nodded. "You may now leave, Kate." He said but Kate knew that this was more of a demand.

"Please...think about it."

The door closed and Darien sat in his chair. "I shouldn't have encouraged him to go after, Serenity." He whispered and began to cry. First, he was angry at him and Serenity and now...he was regretting for the things he did to his younger bro...no, older brother.
