Chapter Nine: Confronting a Friend
Seyia, Taiki, and Yaten walked in from their audition. They were tired, but they had a gig. The Starlights were back in the charts. As soon as they had belted out a song, the producer had signed them instantly.
They trudged into the living room where all the girls sat laughing and Sammy did his homework. Darien wasn't back yet.
"Hey, we got a record deal!" Seyia said as he plopped down by Hotaru.
"Of course we did!" Yaten said, getting one of Lita's cookies.
Michelle rolled her eyes. Serena laughed and toasted to their success.
"What did you sing to get your deal?" Mina asked.
"We sang 'Drowning'." Taiki told them. (A/N: I don't own Drowning by Backstreet Boys!!! NO SUEING!)
"Well, I invited some friends for dinner." Serena said.
"Really, who?" Taiki asked.
"Ohhh…nobody you know." She said and began to drink some more of her tea.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Serena walked into the office at five the next morning with Luna on her shoulder sleeping (she had complained all day the day before about being stuck at home with nothing to do.)
Serena began to file things after she got everything re-organized while Luna slept comfortably on her desk.
Millardo Peacecraft walked in at exactly a quarter till eight.
"You're early, when did you get here?" He asked as he picked up Luna and began to scratch her ears.
"Oh…around five…I kind of wanted to make up for my scene yesterday. I'm very sorry for that. I had no reason to blow up like that, Gomen-nasai, Peacecraft-san." She said and bowed low.
"You had EVERY reason to blow up. Don't apologize. If anyone should, it should be Relena…she's a spoiled brat and I'm ashamed to call her sister sometimes."
"I hope my brother doesn't feel that way." She said, trying to bring the conversation to Trieze.
"From what I've heard about Sammy, he seems very proud of you."
"No, not Sammy, my older brother…I believe you once knew him."
"Really?"
"As a matter of fact, I knew you once knew him. I remember you."
He looked at her for a few minutes. "Serenity?"
"Hello Millardo." She said, her eyes getting watery.
He sat Luna down and hugged her close like Trieze would have.
"He would have loved to see you again."
"That's why I wanted to talk to you. I know he's alive and I want to see him again."
"I'm not allowed to give out information."
"Please Millardo…it's just me. I'm not going to hurt him…please."
"Alright…I'll take you out for lunch. I'll take you to see him."
"THANK YOU!!!" She said and jumped up and down.
"No problem Sere."
He kissed her forehead and went into his office as Trowa came in.
"Hello Mr. Barton, can I get you anything?" She asked sweetly.
"No thank you. Do I have any mail or calls?"
"No, but it's still early." She said and smiled as shook his head and went into his office.
He stuck his head out quickly, "Oh, yes, before I forget…we would be delighted to have dinner at your home." He said and shut the door.
Serena quickly got on the phone and called Lita. "Hey, Lita?"
"Yeah?"
"They said they'd love to come."
"Really?! What should we make?"
"Umm…how about roast beef…mashed potatoes, cream of corn, homemade bread and for desert…triple layer snickers cake?"
"Sounds good!!!" Lita said and laughed.
"Okay, see you later. I'll ask them when they want to come later." Serena said and hung up the phone.
Luna looked up from her where she had been napping, "Serena, tell me about when you left here."
Serena looked at the cat in surprise. "I was eight years old and Trieze was fourteen. Our parents had died not two months earlier and we were living with some distant relatives. Trista came and told me that I had a destiny in a far off place that needed to be fulfilled. She told me to tell my family that I was leaving. Trieze and I had never been close, but when our parents died we both knew that we would have to stay together. Our relatives weren't very happy to have us…that was evident because whenever our cousins beat up on us they would laugh and daunt us that we were weak. We hated it there. That's what made us grow close. Over two months we formed a bond that seemed like it had been there for years. That night at supper, I told them I was leaving. I could tell Trieze was devastated, because some how he knew that I was telling the truth. The others just laughed and said that I had lost my mind. Like an idiot, I told them what Trista had told me. Trieze ran out of the room, showing emotions that he had kept inside of him for a long time. I ran after him, with them laughing behind me." Serena was crying as she remembered her brother when she last saw him.
Luna put her paw on Serena's arm, showing that she didn't have to go on.
Serena gave her a watery smile and sat her head on her desk to rest a minute. She closed her eyes and let the memories come.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ten years earlier:
Serenity Kushrinara ran after her older brother as fast as she could. She had to tell him that she loved him and she'd see him again before Lady Pluto came back.
"TRIEZE!" She cried out as she ran into the gardens after him.
"Just go away! That's what you're doing anyway!!"
"Trieze I'm so sorry! Please, don't be mad at me!!! I won't go if you don't want me to, but the world depends on me to protect it!" She said, crying as she ran after her brother who was running top speed to the lake.
She tripped on a stick and went sprawling forward. She began to sob as she felt the stone floor of the garden cut into her hands and knees.
She began to cry even louder as she realized that her brother wasn't coming to help her.
The Lady Pluto appeared behind her and touched her shoulder gently.
Serenity nodded her head and cried out to were her brother had gone, not noticing him watching her not very far away. "I'LL COME BACK TRIEZE!!! I'LL BE BACK SOMEDAY! I PROMISE YOU!" She turned around and began to follow Pluto.
"Wait!!" He called out to her.
She turned around quickly and was caught up into a hug. "Promise me that you'll come back. I want you to look me in the eyes and promise me that."
She looked into his eyes and whispered. "I promise. I promise that I will come back."
He hugged her tightly and slowly let her go.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PRESENT TIME
All four of the boys walked down the hall at five till nine. It was Saturday…they were extremely pleased. Relena always refused to go into work on Saturdays and they didn't have to go to school, which they hated.
Duo was whistling while he thought of a certain violet-eyed beauty. He was positive that she was 'the one' but he wasn't sure how to find out how she felt.
Quatre was looking at the artwork down the hall. Wufei was mumbling about how annoying the whistling was getting.
Heero walked in silence, which wasn't anything new. 'What did they mean that Relena would bow down the hime…and why did they call Serena—Ms. Tsukino' He corrected, 'Serenity-hime?' He had understood what they were saying, however he hadn't understood their meaning. He decided that it would be best if he kept it to himself and keep up his guard around them.
When he opened the door, he saw something that shocked him. Their secretary was crying with her head laid down on her desk. Quatre quickly went to her and began to comfort her.
"It's alright, now, don't cry. It can't be all that bad." He soothed.
She began to cry even harder, drawing Millardo and Trieze out of their offices.
Millardo instantly came over to her. "Sssshhhhhh. It's alright. Everything's gonna be just fine."
"Does he hate me Millardo…tell me that. Does he hate me?" She asked, looking into his eyes, seeming so helpless and lost.
"No. He could never hate you."
Serena began to cry harder. Luna came up to her and began to rub her head against her leg. She then jumped up into her lap and let Serena hold her and cry like she had done so many times when Alan and Ann had terrorized Tokyo so long ago.
"Oh Luna…" Serena held her tightly and sobbed silently as she thought of her brother.
Everyone was silent and they just let her cry.
At a quarter till nine, Mina walked in with a sack of donuts, two cups of coffee, two cups of milk, two bowls, and Artemis. Serena was still crying, though not as bad. She was putting away some more files as well as answering what few phone calls that came in the morning.
"Serena, what's wrong?" She asked as she sat the coffee and donuts down. She began to open the milk and pour it for the cats.
"What if Trieze hates me Mina…I could never stand that." She said and sniffed back more floods of tears.
Mina went up and hugged her tightly. "Look at me."
Serena looked at her and smiled weakly at her.
"He loves you, from what you've told us, you two were extremely close and no distance could ever break that. Come on, I have donuts and coffee."
Serena gave her a watery smile.
Mina reached in and handed her a chocolate covered donut and they began to talk over Mina's classes and Serena's bosses.
Quatre walked out with an envelope. "Oh, hello Mina." He said politely, still trying to get used to just using her first name.
"Hello Quatre. Nice to see you."
"Thank you. Ms. Tsukino, would you please send this out later if you feel up to it?"
"Of course I will. I haven't forgot my duties as your secretary. I'll be happy to."
