Christmas Chapter 13
School, went on and so did their training. Darien who was cutting the training short and stop letting it get too intense, watched them as did the guardians. They were training again and Darien knew he need to cut if off soon. Sense school was about to break for Christmas, he knew Samara would want to do nothing but train, so he tried shorted the trainings during school as much as possible. "Come on Sailor Universe I know you have more then that in you!" "Sailor Moon watch what you say or you will be regret you ever said anything! Universe Silver Blade Beam!!" Hit. "Ow!! You hit my butt!" "Sailor Moon never turn you back or butt to the enemy!" "Ya, I'll remember that one, gosh!" said Sailor Moon, while she rubbed her butt. Sailor Universe smiled, then busted into laugher. "It's not funny!" "I think it is!" "Moonlight Scepter!" Hit. "Ouch my arm! You'll pay for that Sailor Moon," Sailor Universe laughed, she was enjoying this. They fought, with punches and kicks for a few min the landing on the ground, facing each other, breathing hard. "Not bad Sailor Moon, but lets see, how you do with this!" Sailor Universe went into a full run towards Sailor Moon then jumped to the side when she was just a foot away from Sailor Moon, grabbed a tree branch, with leave and swung it towards Sailor Moon.
She was caught off guard, too busy processing the speed Sailor Universe use. She fell hard to the ground, with scratches on her right arm. "Ow!" "Up Sailor Moon! Were not finished yet!" She started swing and swatting at Sailor Moon, who started jumping, leaping and whining. "Fight back!" "How do you fight a branch!?" "Easy, kick it out of my hand! Or snatch it out of my hands. Use your brain!" "Ah! Ow! OK!" Sailor Moon kicked but Sailor Universe caught her ankle and pulled. Sailor Moon came crashing to the floor, she started crying. "Sailor Moon!" She whined and cried. Sailor Universe placed the branch on the ground and walked to Sailor Moon. "You OK?" "Yes," sniff. "OK, we'll call it a day. Come on." Sailor Universe helped Sailor Moon up, they de-transformed. They laughed. Darien, kissed Samara on a sweating temple. "You two are really getting stronger," said Silver Strike. "Yes I quite agree," said Luna. They walked down a quiet street towards Samara's and Darien's apartment. "You two should really put on a jacket your going to get sick, the both of you. "But it's hot!" whined Serena. "All the same, you will get sick." "We'll take a hot shower" replied Samara. Darien shook his head.
They got to the apartment, "Hello girls. Darien. Animals seeming there are so many." "Hello" they all said at once (except the guardians). "Mom is it OK if Serena take a quick hot shower?" "No I don't mind." "OK, thanks Ms. Zumo." "Sure. You know where everything is." "Yes, ma'am." Serena went to take a shower." Ms. Zumo and Amy's mother turned around from their seat, at the dining table, "When are you two going to start your Christmas shopping?" asked Nana. "Well me and Serena where going to go shopping tomorrow." "And I'm now thinking about joining them," Darien said and gave Samara a grin to say 'that way I know what your getting me for Christmas.' The animals went to the kitchen to see if they could find something to eat. "Don't think so, dear," replied and gave dear a sarcastic sound. "Oh, but I do, darling," answered Darien, also putting a sarcastic tone to darling. "Well, I'm the wife and what I said goes," said Samara again being sarcastic. "Your the wife? Oh I didn't know you wanted to get married?" Darien said, sarcastically. "Well, I'd think it was obvious. Anyway women has the last word in any argument and anything as man said afterwards is he beginning to a new argument. And I am done with this topic. You can't go, cheater," said Samara sarcastically, and with a big grin on her face. Both the moms started laughing at Samara's words and Darien's face. Darien looked thunderstruck, and quite amused. Darien smiled and Samara smiled back, Darien put his arms around Samara waist and Samara placed her arms around his neck. Darien gave her a quick kiss on the lips, "You know I'm going to be in hell, when I marry you." Samara laughed, and playfully gave Darien soft punch in the arm. They parents watching enjoying themselves and started laughing uncontrollably. Soon Darien and Samara joined. They dried they eyes from laughing tears, when Serena came back in, dressed and with a towel wrapped around her head, "What did I miss?"
Samara went and took a bath while Darien and the mothers told Serena what happen. Samara could hear them all laugh again. She smiled to herself. That was fun, and they all needed a laugh. She knew this wasn't over and she would hear it till Christmas. 'Wait till Raye hears' thought Samara and suddenly felt a pang of sorrow, she missed Raye a lot, they got along great. She missed all the girls. She missed cooking with Lita and taking about guys while they cooked or eating for a fresh batch of cookies. She missed talking about history with Amy, or get into a fun debates over a war or something, she missed staying up late studying doing math or science. She missed talking about guys and date and makeup with Mina. She missed talking to Raye about anything, even history, which was mostly what they talked about. She missed telling Raye her feelings for Darien and about their date and how he made her feel. And she really missed meditating with Raye and going to the astral plain with her. They had so much fun there, looking at dragons and playing in the woods with the fairies. It took a while for Samara to realized she was crying. She stopped and let the hot water run her tears from her face. She wish the water could wash away her pain and sorrow, but it couldn't, but it did help soothe her a bit and help her relax. How would she feel when they took Serena? Her sister. She didn't want to think about it. Insist she turned off the water, got out, dried off, dress and came out, with a towel wrapped around her head and a brush in hand.
She walked out and everyone was laughing. "I can't believe I missed that, Samara" said Serena. Samara smiled, "You did, sugar. I'm going to make hot chocolate anyone want some?" "I do!" exclaimed Serena. "That would be nice, darling," replied Darien sarcastically. Samara smiled. "None for me, honey," said Ms. Zumo and Nana shook her head, no. Samara walked out placing the brush on the table before walking into the kitchen. Samara put a pot on the stove with milk to heat up and put chocolate powder into 3 mugs. Darien came in behind her and pulled off the towel and started to brushing out her hair, Samara smiled. "I don't know how you brush all this hair." "Time and patience." "You patience?" "Very funny." "I love you too." Darien kissed Samara on the cheek. He finished her hair faster then he thought. Samara pour the milk into the mugs and stirred them. Darien took his mug and they walked out. "Here Serena, be careful it hot," said Samara. "I know I'm not a ditz" "Don't make me answer that Serena." " Hahaha!" "Serena are you going to wake up early to go shopping?" "Yes." "I'll come by around 9:00am be up, awake, dressed and ready to go." "Yes mother."
9:00am and Serena was not ready, she had just go up. "Serena I told 9:00am." "I know, I know. I'm sorry." "Don't worry about breakfast we'll get Starbucks then get lunch out." "OK" 9:30am was when they left. "OK moms and dads first." "Your mom first" They spent an hour shopping for all the moms and dads. Then they moved on their friends and each other. Samara got Serena some new bunny slipper with matching pajamas, she got Mina a make-up and a new perfume, Raye she got some books about magic, history, temples, and plants, for Amy she got a dairy with a fake feather quill and ink, Lita she got cooking books, and an apron that you design yourself and for Darien she got a gold bracelet with his name engraved on it and a black wool sweater. It was 4:00pm and they started on their way home when they suddenly realized they were alone and there was footsteps behind them. She realized they didn't have Silver Strike or Stardust or Luna. "Serena if I say run, run," she whispered. Serena nodded. But Samara never got the chance to say run next thing she knew she was grabbed from behind and pinned to the floor.
"Help! Serena!" "I can't move!" "Darien!" "Oh relax. We're not here for you." The pressure on top of Samara eased. "Serena run!" "I can't move!" "Transforms, fight!" "Ok! Eternal Moon Power!" "Sailor Moon you brat! Come back here!" "Run Sailor Moon." She looked at Sailor Moon, she knew what to do, she had to be caught. She called Silver Strike to her and she appeared and started to attack the attacker. Samara transformed, "Eternal Universe Power!" and was able to move. She saw the attacker, it was Warrior Chris T. "Hey Warrior Chris T.!" "Hello Sailor Universe! Did you miss me?" "No, not really." "Call your damn dog off!" "Silver Strike enough!" Silver Strike let go of Warrior Chris T.'s leg. Sailor Moon was down the street, watching them. "I'm not here for you, Sailor Universe. So back off and you wont get hurt," he threw a energy lightning blast at Sailor Universe, she let it hit her full force. "Ah!" "Sailor Universe!!" cried Sailor Moon and came running to help. "No Sailor Moon don't! Ah!!" he threw another one and Sailor Universe laid on the floor trying to get up. "Yes, Sailor Moon come and try to help your sister!" "Aaaahhhhh!!!!" cried Sailor Universe as Warrior Chris T. took his sword and slashed Sailor Universe across her chest, Sailor Universe clutched her now bleeding chest. "Moonlight Scepter!" cried Sailor Moon. "Ah! You'll pay for that you brat!" he disappeared and reappeared behind Sailor Moon, "Lighting Blast!" A bolt of lightning hit Sailor Moon in the back, knocking her to the ground, where Warrior Chris T. grabbed and disappeared with her.
"Serena!!!!!!" screamed Sailor Universe. Silver Strike came up to her, "come lets go to the police." Sailor Universe untransformed and stand shakily to her feet. Silver Strike crept close to Samara's side, but Samara sat down on the ground and pulled out her cell phone. Tears rolled down Samara's face, from pain. Not pain the pain in her chest but pain from losing Serena. "911 emergency Lacy speaking how may I help you?" "My friend was kidnapped just now, Serena Tsukino." "Oh my goodness! Samara? Samara Zumo?" Samara takes a deep shaky breath, "Yes ma'am." "OH my, are you OK?" "No, we were attacked my dog tried to fight the man off but couldn't I got slashed across the chest. My dog's OK. But Serena was taken." "OK. Were are you?" "I'm on Gladly Street." "OK, stay there I'm sending an ambule..." "Darien!" cried Serena, she saw his car, he stopped and ran towards Samara. "Are you OK? What happened?" "Hello? Samara? Hello?" Darien took the phone, "This is Darien Samara's boyfriend. I'm taking her to the hospital," he hung up. "Come on, sweetie." Darien helped her up and into the car, Silver Strike jumped into the back seat. Darien turned on his hazard lights and sped towards the hospital, while Samara called her mother and took her what happened, without the sailor fighting part. Darien was at a red light and started looking in the back seat, till he found a shirt and pressed it against Samara's chest. Samara took hold of it so Darien could drive. She told him what really happened.
Samara was pale and was trying to fight to stay conscious. "Hang on a few more minutes." He had called ahead and the hospital was waiting for them. Samara didn't think she could hold on much more, the pain was unbearable and she couldn't put more pressure on the wound cause she was losing feeling in her whole body. Darien was carrying her inside when she final fell unconscious. When she woke, she had an ivy, and bandages wrapped around her chest, she felt light head. "Darien? Mom? Nana?" "Were here baby, Are you OK?" "I'm fine. He took Serena," she started to cry. "It's OK, honey it wasn't your fault," said Ms. Tsukino. "I'm so sorry," said Samara. "It OK." After a few more hours Samara was released. "You are not allowed out of that house with out me, or Darien or Ms. Tsukino or Ms. Mizumo understand?" "Yes Mom." Samara laid down on her bed, after changing into some P.J.s. Her mother came in tucked her in then left, then nana came in gave her a kiss then Darien came in. (Nana was going to sleep on the extra bed where Samara slept with her mom.) He sat on the edge of her bed, stroking her hair, which was now down. "You did the right thing, both of you." "Maybe I shouldn't have let them take Serena." "No you had to it would have happened anyways. This way was easier. Don't blame yourself." "OK, Darien maybe your right." "Go to sleep." "Hmm." Samara fell asleep, while Darien stroked her hair, he stayed with her all night.
Ms. Zumo came into Samara's room and smiled. Darien had fallen asleep, while with Samara and he had his feet over the edge of the bed and his head was next to Samara's head, he was facing the wall and Samara was facing his back with her arm around his waist his hand over her's. Soon they woke smiling and they kissed each other. They got up and walked into the kitchen and made tea. They sat on the sofa sipping tea, it was 6:00am, so Nana and her mother was still asleep. Samara stood wrote a quick letter to her mother saying she was going with Darien to his apartment, so they wont wake them. They cuddled up on Darien's couch. Darien stroked her hair, and then wrapped his arms lightly around her. At about 7:00 they heard a knock on the door. Darien stood and open the door, it was Ms. Zumo. "Hello Darien, Samara. I was thinking about going out to eat for breakfast, you two want to come?" "Sure, mom." "OK, well Samara come on, so Darien can get dress and you can as well." Samara got up, kissed Darien and left with her mother. Christmas came and went, they decided not to do presents till all the girls were back. They put all the gifts into a large closet at Nana's house. Everyone went to a dinner at Serena's house; Raye's grandfather, Nana, Mina's parents, Darien, Samara, Ms. Zumo and Lita didn't have family, her mother died when she was 10. Darien made plans for a special date for New Years, at the stables. They had gone every chance they got to ride horses, and they were going to a night ride on New Year's Eve. Samara was looking forward to that date.
