Chapter: 3

Summary: Everyone believes Raye is the Moon Princess they have been searching for. Darien's true identity is revealed as being the Prince of Earth. Will Serena's true form appear before it's too late?

Serena sighed deeply as she settled herself into the love seat next to Darien. She could do this, of course she could do this- damn how old was she! She scowled at herself mentally, pulling on a frown.

However, Darien was quite enjoying the reluctant task that Serena had to complete, minus the inner and a few … ahem … outside problems. A small grin appeared on his lips as he noticed Serena seating herself as far away from him as she could. Although he wasn't 100 sure why she was doing this, he wouldn't really mind finding out. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Raye's voice. Cringing slightly he proceeded to listen.

"Ok guys, I've got some slightly weird news for you. You see, since … well you know how I'm your Princess and all, well, me and Serena figured that it'd be better if I took her place as leader," she finished quickly as her words were being slowly processed.

Serena could feel Darien's piercing gaze as he looked at her closely, studying her, "How do you feel about this Serena?" he asked coolly.

Serena turned towards him for a while, trying to read his expression. Why did he care about what she felt, but then again the Senshi's business was his as well from now on, right? "To be honest, I guess it's gonna be a little weird, but hey we need a powerful leader right, and Raye just happens to have the style," she finished.

Raye gave her a thankful smile, then continued, "Luna reckons that since we now have a stronger team maybe we should …"

Serena managed to tune out Raye's words; she understood that this was important business but she doubted that they'd need much of her opinion in this matter. She'd hardly thought that about the question before, how did she feel about this whole ordeal? She instantly remembered that she'd quickly agreed with Raye's plan as everyone else had as well, but how had that affected her being a Senshi? She turned around slowly again as she felt Darien's eyes roaming her; somehow she felt that he understood her better than the Senshis themselves did. He could be really sweet when he wanted to, maybe that was one of the strong points she noticed about him, one of the facts that she was attracted to him like so. She slowly began to relax on her seat as the day's events caught up with her.

At home she'd been seriously told off for doing something she herself couldn't remember doing. Then when the truth had finally been unfolded she discovered that she was late for the meeting. The news from Raye and her growing attraction toward the midnight blue eyed half-stranger sitting next to her weren't helping much either.

Distantly she became aware of the fact that Darien's hand had somehow found its way towards her back and he was massaging it gently. A contented sigh escaped her lips almost unnoticeably. Suddenly, she felt Darien's hand stop its rubbing movement on her back. Turning her eyes towards his, she gulped inwardly as she became aware of the passion ignited in his deep blue gaze. Turning back to the girls she noticed that they were all too occupied by what was being said by Raye. Her eyes turned towards Darien once again who was holding a tell-smirk at the lost bunny look on her face.

"I'm giving Serena a ride home, I think she's had enough news for one day," he announced, not waiting for Serena's reaction. As four pairs of eyes landed on him, he gave them his sexy half-smile and Serena could have sworn that all of them swooned. "Is that ok?"

"Yes!"

"Sure!"

"Why not?"

"Of course."

These were the four immediate replies.

Darien gave them a last heart-stopping smile before he grabbed the-still-surprised Serena's hand. "Come on sweetheart, we're going home."

Serena's heart began beating faster, 'Home?' she thought dazedly.

Darien led Serena outside, with her hand still in his she wondered where the hell they were really going. Still lost in her thoughts she wasn't aware of the fact that Darien had led her underneath a corpse of trees instead of the door of his Porsche.

Suddenly she felt her back being stabbed up against a hard object, looking up her gaze once again clashed with Darien's. Before she could offer a word in edge, she felt warm lips being placed on her own. She gasped, surprised but refused to open her mouth to let his tongue slip in much to his protest. She felt his tongue slide across her lips as he tried to gain entrance. Serena stubbornly disagreed and kept her mouth firmly shut, her effort at trying to push him away remaining fruitless. Darien pressed into her, refusing to give up.

Suddenly, Serena found herself responding towards Darien's lips. Her mouth automatically opened as she found her own tongue delving past his lips. She groaned as she felt his passion increasing by the notch, hers trying to match his. His hand slid down the side of her body, past her breast, waist and hip, causing her to moan in anticipation. Darien began to gently ease the still passionate kiss, looking up at Serena's flushed state, a small smile adorned his strikingly full lips. Her eyes were closed, while her lips were slightly bruised from the pressure he had exerted upon them from his own. Her cheeks were a dim red and her hair had somehow come undone and now cascaded around her, making her seem unearthly and unreal, like an angel. Leaning back down once again, Darien gently nibbled on her bottom lip, blowing on it softly. He moved his lips from her mouth across her jaw and towards her ear. He licked her outer ear and smiled when he heard a satisfied sigh escape her lips.

'Bastard!' Serena thought, at the fact that he was turning her on like so.

"I want you Serena," he whispered hotly in her ear.

Suddenly the situation came crashing down on her, here she was making out with Darien, in the middle of, she took in her surroundings, she was making out in front of Raye's house! She stood, disgusted at herself. How could she have done this, made out with one of her best friend's … soul mate! Right under her nose as well. She looked down at her appearance, her blouse had ridden up past her stomach and she felt a large smooth hand on her belly. Damn, she was enjoying this! She didn't want to move but knew she would have to eventually, to get things straightened out, better do it now. Mustering up all her will power, which was decreasing by the minute, she placed her hands on Darien's chest and pushed hard. He stumbled back, looking vaguely surprised but then his eyes hardened once again as he sorted out his appearance. Serena looked at him as if he was from another planet, how could he control his emotions like so, fuck, she herself couldn't control a simple crush and here he was taking hold of a situation he had started and she had supposedly ended.

"What the hell were you thinking?" she shot at him, feeling anger flare towards herself as well as him.

"Kissing you!" he answered shortly, shrugging his shoulders as he absent-mindedly ran his hands through his hair. That had only made him look even sexier than before. Serena groaned.

"Darien, why did we do this?" the question was pointed towards him but also required answers from her.

"I want you, why you did it, only you know," he stated managing to keep his cool, but the site of her with her blouse still pushed up and her skirt slightly tilted made him want to jump her right here and now. "Um … Serena you mind sorting your clothes out please if you don't want that scenario repeated while we're having this discussion, unless you wouldn't mind," he teased as he raised his eyebrows suggestively.

A light blush tinged her cheeks; she quickly shoved down her blouse and pulled her skirt up. "Oh, silly me," she added lamely.

Darien's smirk was replaced by his half-smile. "So where were we?"

"Err … I think … Um …" she seemed at a loss for words. Looking up at him she smiled lightly as his eyes danced with amusement towards her lack of speech. "This isn't right," she said trying to keep her tone serious, but failed as her mouth formed into a grin at the absurdity of the moment.

"You don't want me?" he asked simply, expecting a simple answer in return.

"Well I … What I mean is … you see …"

Darien took one long stride and in less than a second she was in his arms. "Tell me you don't want me," he whispered, sending chills down her spine.

"I … I … I …"

Darien gently pulled back, "Didn't think so," he said as he headed back outside. Serena stood, stunned for a while. How in the hell does he do that, he manages to keep his cool after saying the most inappropriate thing and makes the other person speechless? She regained her posture, well he wasn't getting the last word this time, and she'd make sure of that. Jerking his shoulder back violently, she was surprised at her own strength.

"Look here Mr. You may always outdo me most of the time, but this time you're not getting the last word!" she said heatedly, trying not to raise her voice at her own expense, as well as Darien's.

"Oh yeah," he mocked, "And what exactly are you going to do to me? Burn me alive?"

Serena suddenly pressed her small frame against him, from chest to knees. She smiled at him seductively; "Actually more like eat you alive," she bit. Darien opened his mouth to add one of his own smart come backs but found he had lost the will of speech as he felt soft lips pillow his own. He moaned as he pulled her closer to him, backing her up against a tall tree trunk. He was instinctively aware of the fact that her full breasts and her curvy figure were pressed against his chest and body. Her strong hands holding onto his face. He took hold of them and placed them on top of her head, out of the way, while his other hand wound round her waist. Since when had this passionate argument changed into a heated making out session? Darien could feel his lips hot against hers, her will just as strong as his unwilling to give up, testing to see who won this bizarre game of tonsil hockey. They both pulled away at the same time, their faces hot and their breath coming out in short gasps as they stared at each other, taking in the other's appearance. Darien's hands remained where they had been, and Serena didn't seem to protest.

She moved back in slowly to lick Darien's lips, which were slightly bloody from where she had bit him earlier, she gave a short laugh as she felt Darien growl deeply from the back of his throat. He pulled her in again, for another kiss. She gave another laugh as she playfully pulled back, "We shouldn't be doing this," she murmured against his lips.

"I know," was his only response.

"See ya Amy and Lita," Serena and Darien stood frozen on the spot as they recognized the voice. Raye! Damn it, how long had they been here? And Darien's car was still out in the front as well. Oh Goddess!

"Maybe we should get back," she started uncertainly.

"Yeah, we'll need a good excuse though. How 'bout, I was just ravishing Serena, and goddamn I enjoyed it?" he suggested playfully, giving her an innocent look.

Serena blushed, giving him a not so light punch on the arm, "Darien!"

"What? It was only the truth!" he said smiling at her shyness, getting out of here was definitely a good idea cause only god knew what he'd end up doing if he was left alone with her for another moment. Grabbing her hand gently in his own, he motioned for her to follow him, "I'll take the lead," he whispered in her ear, "You my little bunny, just play along."

She smile coyly, "Oh really?"

"Serena, if you want to get out of here still a pure, little, good girl, I suggest you stop putting ideas into my head."

Serena gave a soft laugh, "Okay, I get the picture." Her mind turned back to how Raye would act towards this, she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. Looking around she noticed that it had suddenly gotten lighter. In front of her the familiar image of Raye and Mina on top of the Shrine's steps, reminded her of their plan. Well the question of Raye would soon have to be raised, maybe now wasn't the best time.

Raye suddenly turned towards their direction, a look of confusion on her pretty face. "Darien, I thought you two were already gone."

"Well you see sweetheart, we were just getting into the car when Serena saw this 'really cute bunny'," he imitated a girlish voice, "And she was just trying to provoke it," Darien started as the picture of what they had been doing a few minutes back came into Serena's mind. Looking up, she caught a mischievous glint in his eyes. So she decided to do what he had told her to do, she followed his lead.

"It was sooooo cute, Raye! We caught it in the end! It wasn't easy, but we got it!" she added in an excited voice. Darien grinned down at her.

"We caught it in the end didn't we Serena?" he decided to add.

Raye studied them quizzically, "That's nice."

"Hey Serena, you mind walking home with me please. I'll have to walk home on my own otherwise," Mina asked urgently, almost desperately.

Looking up at Darien she saw him nodding his head 'no' causally, as if he were just thinking about something.

"Sure Mina, I'd love that," Serena answered trying to suppress a giggle. Looking up again she says Darien's eyes narrowed in mock anger. She smiled angelically at him, "Bye Darien, I LOVED catching that bunny with you, shame that the chances are really rare that we'll ever come across it again," after saying her goodbye to Raye she headed down the steps of the Shrine. A pleased smile resting upon her lips.
