I'm sorry that I haven't gotten it out sooner, but they are really getting us at school. We have so many tests it's not even funny. Other than totally stressing out, I'm cool. So, good luck to you who are being bombarded as well. (a/n: I got a 100 on my algebra test over everything we did all year!!!!!! I'm happy, don't mind me…too much!)

Serena grabbed her purse and walked up to where Millardo was waiting at the door, when Darien strutted in with a smirk on his face.

The smirk turned into a glare as he caught sight of Millardo.

"What's going on?"

"None of your business." Serena said as she practically dragged Millardo toward the hallway.

"It is my business. I'm your fiancée!" He said and grabbed her hand and jerked her back toward him.

"WE ARE THROUGH!!!! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!" She screamed, drawing out people from other offices.

Darien glared at her.

A light suddenly went on in Millardo's head. "Serena and are were just going to go visit an old friend of ours…why don't you join us?"

Darien looked at him, sizing him up, coldly. "Sure…why not."

Millardo smirked inside. Trieze was going to kill Darien as soon as he found out about the way he was treating Serena.

They walked down to Millardo's car and quickly drove away to Trieze's hideout.

***************&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&*************

Trieze watched the three people walk toward him. Behind him, his men were armed and ready for whoever was coming with Millardo.

One of the figures was incredibly tall and masculine looking. The other was short and female.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Trista go up to Amara and whisper in her ear.

"Whatever happens, let Trieze take care of it. It's his and Darien's destinies."

Amara shook her head yes, knowing now that something was going to happen.

"Who are these people Mill…" Trieze trailed off as he got his first good look at the girl with the two men.

"Do you know me?" She whispered, almost afraid he would say no.

"Serenity?" He whispered, not sure if his eyes were to be believed.

"Trieze!" She cried out and embraced her brother with all the love she had carried inside of her for him for so long.

Tears streamed down from her beautiful blue eyes as they hugged tighter after so many long years of not knowing whether or not they'd ever see each other again.

Darien's eyes saw nothing but red as he saw Serena hug this stranger with such force that he would have broken.

He quickly went to them and pulled them apart. His hand struck Serena before she could respond. She flew back onto the floor due to force and the fact that she was not expecting anything like that.

Anger flashed in Trieze's mind, soul, heart, and body as his sister was struck down.

"You dare to strike my sister!?!" Trieze growled out.

Darien was shocked at this new revelation, but not any less calmed down. "Well, can I help it if you looked closer than that to the little whore?" He said coolly.

Trieze quickly grabbed one of the automatics and aimed at Darien's head. "I suggest that you take that back."

Darien smirked, "You won't shoot me, you'll get arrested."

"I've got news…the government thinks I'm dead. How can a dead man get arrested?" Trieze said, smiling cruelly.

Darien paled, realizing his mistake, but Trieze didn't give him a second chance. He shot him in the chest and dropped the gun. He made a motion and the men behind him began to clean up the mess.

Trieze went to Serena, who was in shock.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered, not knowing what to say…just feeling that he had disappointed her.

"He hit me…I can't believe that he hit me." She whispered.

Trieze looked confused and shook his head, not understanding.

Realization seemed to pass over Serena and her eyes widened. "He's dead! Thank God!!"

"Huh?" Millardo and Trieze both asked at the same time.

"He killed my adoptive parents after I told him that we were through. That was after I caught him cheating on me. He's been very rude to everyone, especially Sammy."

"Who's Sammy?" Trieze asked, somehow it rang a bell, but he didn't know where from.

"He's the son of my adoptive parents…but I like to call him my little brother, cause that's basically what he is." She said, getting helped up by her brother and friend.

Trieze hugged his sister again while Amara got her an ice pack.

"I'm so happy…now you get to quite sulking!" Trista said, bringing a smile on Serena's face. The smile quickly turned into a very evil grin.

"Trieze, I would like you to meet Lady Pluto." She said, making both Trieze and Trista's eyes go wide while Millardo looked confused.

"YOU! You're Lady Pluto?!" Trieze cried out.

Trista looked uncomfortable under his gaze, but said nothing.

Serena sighed, "You need the whole story…come on…you can buy me lunch and I'll tell you everything, but you have to tell me about Marimaea."

"She's the daughter of a fifth cousin of ours…fifth or sixth. Trieze is quite a common name, remember?"

"I know. I researched her. She's very sweet. She and Sammy are becoming fast friends." Serena said.

Amara walked into the room looked extremely irritated. "Here you go, Koneko." She said, handing her princess the ice pack, then heading back to work.

"Thanks Amara." Serena said, taking the ice pack and putting it against her red cheek.

"So…are you going to tell me your story?" Trieze asked, leading them off to the kitchen.

Millardo waited behind Trista who was still looking at her feet.

"Why did he get so shocked to find out that you were Lady Pluto…Why did she call you that?"

"I took Serena from him in the first place when they were children…I am Lady Pluto…guardian of time and space." She said, blushing. She was embarrassed to look into his eyes.

"Do I get an explanation?"

"I think Serena would be more than happy to tell you as well as Trieze. You see, I must return to work.
