Notes: Hey all, sorry about my prolonged vacation from this story, but here's a good long chapter for you and the next one will be coming soon!!

Chapter 3

"Mina, where are you going?"

"Um...," she paused at the door. "To see someone about tutouring me."

"You don't need to be tutoured! What are you talking about?!"

"Well, it's more for studying tips and stuff."

"Oh, alright."

"Then I'm staying with Rei," Mina added as she slipped into the black leather jacket Darien had given her.

"Alright. Call me if you want, I'll be here."

"Mm hmm"

The door clicked shut behind her. 'There,' she thought. 'Now it's hidden from my mother.'

Mina rushed down the hallway and out the back stairs. A motorcycle hummed just outside the door, she picked a helmet off the backseat and put it on. Then she climbed onto the motorcycle and wrapped her arms around the driver's waist. They roared out of the quiet parking lot into the even quieter night. Her long blonde hair billowed out behind them.

Darien rolled the cycle soundlessly into his parking spot. "God, it's so hard to deal with Serena talking about you and stuff. She doesn't believe you're studying all this time. She has convinced herself that you're planning a party or a present or something," Mina said, shaking her head. "Sometimes I want to hit her. Just punch her right in the face." "Mina...," He placed a finger over her lips and moved his body closer. "Let's not talk about Serena."

The second Darien's door was locked he pressed his lips to hers with all the desire that had been mounting inside him since the last time they were together At first Mina resisted. She'd read in a magazine that men liked it when you resisted them. Darien pressed harder, wriggling his tongue into her mouth, pulling her closer until their bodies were so close together Mina could feel sweat gathering between her breasts. She gave in. Regardless of how hot Darien would find it, she couldn't resist his pleading lips and the forceful reach of his tongue. She opened her mouth and accepted the desire that he unleashed into her.

Mina's hand instinctively went to the buttons of his shirt. She smiled at the thought that he always wore them when he was going to take her out. That's how she could tell, if she saw him on the street, with Serena or if they were all together in a group. All Mina needed were those buttons. The seductive look he gave her only cemented the inevitability of the evening. No one else caught it but her, even in the café, with all the girls. Mina was the only one who saw the secretive glitter in those ultramarine pools.

The promising shirt lay empty and useless on the floor, Darien's firm, defined torso hovered over Mina's heaving bosom. His large square hands were running up her pale, thin stomach, lifting her flimsy t shirt up, over the aroused swells of her breasts, over her head, amd down the long golden sheet of her hair. She hadn't worn a bra. The unexpected revelation of her boobs visibly aroused Darien. He let out a shuddering sigh, and one of those gorgeous tan hands cupped the treasure. Mina coaxed Darien's face up to hers and shoved a kiss onto his lips that begged him to give her what they had both been waiting for. Darien laughed into her neck. Without thinking his hands instinctively ran down the fly of her pants and slid them off her pale pointy hips, revealing the pale curls between her legs. Darien let his fingertips trail over the lumps of her hips, slowly caressing her upper thigh, barely touching the lips of her pussy. When his face was level with her clit, he stuck his tongue out, gently, quickly, licked the small pink bulge nestled among the curls. Mina had never felt anything so intense and overwhelming, she let out a moan, she couldn't control it, the noise just exploded out of her. Darien inhaled excitedly. He licked harder. Her body writhed up and against him. Her breathing became frantic. Moans started to escape her mouth. Darien lifted his head and wiped his lip before unleashing the throb between his legs and thrust it carefully, aggressively, into her. Then bodies writhed and convulsed against eachother, hips bucking until both of them exploded into eachother and rolled breathlessly into eachother's arms.

"Gee, haven't seen much of you lately!" Serena said, hugging Mina, who gave a weak smile and tried to wriggle out of the embrace as politely as possible. "There's something I need to talk to you about," Serena sat Mina down on her bed. 'This is it,' thought Mina, 'she knows about Darien and I.'

"Something's wrong with Rini," Serena's big blue eyes, so similar to Darien's and her own, were brimming with tears. "She's sick. Like really sick. The hospital's don't know what's wrong with her. And... Luna and I think... I think that something might be happening in the Moon Kingdom... That the Negaverse had found a way to change the future and make it so Rini was never born. I haven't told Darien... I didn't want to scare him. I had to tell someone and Mina, you were the only one who would understand... Mina you're my best friend... I don't know what to do," Serena was crying now.

"Like... what kind of sick? What's wrong with her?" Mina asked.

"It just seems like she's fading away. It's so scary, it's like she's becoming unborn. I can't tell Darien, he might think I'm falling out of love with him," Serena thought on this for a moment. "Or worse! He might be falling out of love with me."

With that scentence, it felt like the air had been knocked out of Mina. Of course, if Darien was falling in love with her, than he wouldn't marry Serena, he wouldn't make love to her on their wedding night and Rini would never be born. Mina had to gather her senses to reply, "I definitely think it's a new enemy. You should tell the other girls, I'll go talk to Artemis," Serena nodded, tears still in her eyes. Mina closed her bedroom door and raced out of Serena's house. With the front door closed solidly behind her, Mina slid down until she was sitting and let out a deep sigh.

"Darien...?" Mina opened his door with her key to the sound of clacking computer keys. "We have to talk."

Darien spun around in his computer chair, and looked at her a little confused. "Is this bad?"

Mina slid onto the couch and looked at him pleadingly. He swooped down onto her, his arms around her, his eyes searching hers for reassurance.

"Do you love me?" Mina asked, near stoically. Darien let out a sigh of relief.

"I am most certainly falling in love with you, Mina," Darien laughed and kissed her forehead.

"You have to stop. You can't love me... you don't understand... Darien you're King Endymion of the Moon Kingdom, you're Rini's father! Do you know what we're doing? Do you get it?," Mina had started to cry. Darien looked confused. "Darien... Rini's sick. She's fading away... I can't see you anymore... you can't even think about what a future with me would be like. You can't!"

Darien wiped the tears from her cheeks, and looked at her seriously, thoughtfully. "Mina, you're everything to me... this can't be over," Darien caressed her face. "Why can't you be the Moon Princess?"

He kissed her, tears trickling down both their faces, and in spite of themselves, in spite of the damage they now knew they were causing, they made desperate, ignorant love.
