Chapter Eleven
Sai stood on his porch watching as the rain began to fall, thinking about the punch Serena gave him earlier that day. He could still feel the pain throbbing in his cheek, it made him angry just by feeling the pain. Then he remembered the inhuman rage that seemed so alien to her features, he had never seen her like that and he could tell Rini hadn't either.
He had to control to hit back but something had stopped him. What stopped me? He thought. He couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand why he backed away from them, it annoyed him greatly. As he came back out of his thoughts he walked off the porch and into the rain, feeling it pound his face. Next I won't back away, he thought bitterly.
Just then he felt it, her power. Squinting through the rain he saw her walking down the street jumping as lightning struck the sky and thunder sounded, he watched amused. Take her now or watch her jump in fear? He thought smirking. Take her now, he thought chuckling evilly as he moved out of his yard and stepped on to the street, blending in with the rain and silencing his footsteps.
On down the street Serena felt his power, for some reason she could feel when he was near her, it was the same way before he attacked Darien but she didn't know it was his until she got real close to him. She looked around unable to see him, but she knew he was there, she kept walking.
"You can't see me but I can see you," chuckled Sai's voice. It sounded as though he was real close, it felt like it whispered to her ear. But when she turned around no one was there, then she heard the chuckle from beside her.
"Sai are that much of a chicken that you have to hide from me?" she said staying calm though her body wanted to run.
"I'm just playing around before I kill you," he said from somewhere near. "But if you want to see me then here I come."
"What the----!" she saw Sai rush toward her from in front of her. She never had time to move before he slammed her against a light post and placed his hands on her throat. He started to squeeze imagining the terror on her face, but it didn't come. She just stood there calm, with an accepting look, though her eyes flashed with that inhuman rage as if daring him to kill her.
"Pluto deadly scream!" came a voice from behind Sai.
"What the-!" he said as he placed an invisible barrier around him. "Oh you, well it seems Serena's weak after all if she needs bodyguards, don't you think Pluto?" he asked mockingly toward Pluto who stood behind him with Saturn who's face betrayed a deadly calm and her eyes showing the promise of a kill, and was holding her glaive.
"You had better let Serena go Thanatos before I get a hold of you," said Saturn her voice sounding like frozen ice with a hint death.
"What are you going to do?" he said sneering not knowing he had released his hold on her a fraction. It wasn't much but it was enough to allow her to move.
"This!" said Serena kneeing him in the crotch then elbowing him n the back of the head, leaving him looking stupefied before he collapsed on the pavement in pain. Pluto and Saturn stood there speechless with surprise evident on their faces.
"You," said Sai trying to get up. "I'll kill You!!" he yelled coming at her, Serena didn't even try to move she just stood there.
"Stop Sai," she said in a commanding yet calm tone. "I don't want to keep hurting you,"
"My orders are to kill you," he said not stopping. "and I am loyal to Lord Hecate!" he shouted before hitting her in the stomach.
"Are you really?" she asked smiling her voice low. "Is your heart loyal to him?" she asked before collapsing unconscious. These words hit Sai hard deep inside his soul rooting him in place, he ignored the fact that Serena was unconscious, her body leaning on his.
"Serena!" cried Saturn rushing toward the pair bringing Sai out of his stupor. Quickly, he layed Serena's unconscious body on the ground, before disappearing.
"Pluto deadly scream!" cried Pluto launching her attacking hoping to get Sai before he disappeared but failed.
"Serena," said Saturn shaking Serena who was out cold. "Pluto we need to get her home,"
"Yes," said Pluto picking up Serena and began walking off toward Serena's house followed by Saturn.
"Trista what do you think happened between the two of them?" asked Saturn.
"She reached inside his soul," said Trista as they reached Serena's house, gladly Serena's parents weren't home just Rini. Trista was relieved that having to explain this to Serena's parents was no nessecary.
"She reached into his soul," said Hotaru comprehensibly as she opened the door to the house.
"Serena it's about ti---, SERENA!" said Rini walking in and spotting the unconscious Serena in Trista's arms. "What did she do slip and fall?"
"No, it was Thanatos," said Trista walking into the living room and laying Serena on the couch.
"Sai knocked her out?" asked Rini looking at Serena.
"Yes," said Hotaru.
"Do you have anything strong we could use to wake Serena up?" asked Trista.
"Yep, Sererna's gym socks," said Rini smirking rushing off to grab the socks.
"Gym socks?" asked Hotaru worriedly earning the same worried look from Trista.
"Okay here they are," said Rini walking into the livingroom holding her nose and Serena's gym socks. Trista and hotaru caught a wiff and nearly puked.
"place these under Serena's nose," said Rini holding the pair out to Hotaru who merely shrank away. "Oh fine I'll do it." Rini said placing them under Serena's nose. The three girls watched hoping that would get Serena up. Serena's nose wrinkled and her face became green as her eyes snapped open and started to water.
"EEEEWWWW!!!" she screamed leaping off the couch falling over the coffee table convulsing in pain. "RINI KEEP YOUR SOCKS AWAY FROM ME!!!!" she screamed swiping at her nose trying to get the stink off.
"Your socks?" asked Trista who's eyes reflected amusement as Rini blushed.
"Those were yours?" asked Hotaru.
"Um, well yeah," said Rini sheepishly.
"Yeah don't go blaming your stinky socks and not to mention room on me," said Serena getting up and walking toward Rini.
"Hey know I have ammunition don't make me use it," said Rii holding up the socks before Serena who shrank away holding her nose.
Outside two shadows watched the exchange between the four girls.
"So things are becoming worse," said one shadow.
"Yes there are feelings between the two that shouldn't exist," said the other.
"What are we going to do?" asked the first shadow.
"Just observe, said the second shadow.
