I Do Not Own Sailor Moon.

Awakening the past.

It was time for action. He had wasted enough time. He knew all needed to know. Where she lived. Her timetable. Her friends, favourite hangouts. Everything. But he needed to put it in action. He needed a plan. Pacing up and down his family study, he decided he best way to approach the situation was directly. First he had to speak to her find out her feelings towards him, make her angry, if there was one way to find out what a woman really thought about you, it was to make her angry. With a plan like his, he'll have her in no time.

"I'm going out for a few minuets, be a darling and make dinner" Mina called out as she collected her bag and headed to the door. "Are you sure you'll be alright?" She hadn't talked about the events that took place outside of the apartment. And Mina knew better then to push and press for information.

"I'll be fine; I'm not an infant Mina." Serena replied slightly annoyed.

Mina sighed and left.

Serena sighed as she heard her friend leave. She knew Mina had her best interests at heart but all this tip toeing around was just getting on her nerves. She just wanted everything to be normal. Darien won't bother her especially as he knew who she was. She sighed again and turned back to her text book. The door bell rang. 'What is wrong with that girl? Does she even have a key anymore?' Extremely annoyed Serena got up to open the door for her very forgetful friend. "What is it with you and keys?" Serena said as she opened the door.

"I didn't realise I had a problem with keys," Darien drawled

Serena was completely stunned. "What are you doing here?" she finally managed.

"As I said before I want to get to know you better," Darien said stepping into the apartment.

Serena's brain started to work again along with it her temper. "You didn't say anything like that at all," She folded her arms and pointedly looked from him to the door. "Now leave,"

"Now, I don't think you want me to do that,"

"You don't have a clue to what I want!" Serena exclaimed.

"I think I have some idea," Darien said slowly advancing. He stopped in front of her and run a finger along her jaw bone. He smiled as she shivered.

"I really think you leave," Serena said weakly. She could hardly think with him touching her.

Darien slid his hands to her chin tilting her face towards him. "Look me in the eye and say it,"

Serena looked up and immediately whished she hadn't. She was lost in his intense green gaze. She felt herself lean in towards him and her face lift to meet his. 'No! The other way!' her head screamed but her body did not take heed. It continued on its course. She saw Darien's soft smile. Barely noticeable. But it was enough. Serena snapped back to reality. "Get out," she said hastily stepping away.

"Well that isn't very good manners, is it? You didn't even offer me a seat. Never mind I shall just take one anyway." He sat down on the couch completely at ease. Darien knew he was playing with fire, he could practically see the flames in her crystal blue eyes. He frown as he focused on her glasses, they were unsightly, huge circular things that covered half of her face. He sat down on the couch, making himself comfortable.

"Are you deaf? I said leave."

" And why would I do a thing like that?"

"Because I don't want you here."

"Really? From the way you responded to me before I would have thought differently,"

Serena blushed at her earlier behaviour. "What do you want from me?"

Darien took a breath; this was it this was the flame to the dynamite. "I could lie, but I won't. Sex, Serena sex. Ever since the masquerade ball that's all I've wanted."

"Get out," Serena said in a low, dangerous voice. "Get the hell out."

"No. Not before you agree to go out with me tomorrow night." He was in dangerous waters now.

"Are you mad? I don't want to go anywhere with you I want you to leave."

"Now I know that's not what you want. I think you want me to kiss you," he said standing up.

Serena dashed to the other side of the room "Don't come near me!" the image of a large man flashed in her head, his smile nasty and his eyes dangerous, 'Come on Sere, There's no need to say things we don't mean,' the voice echoed in her mind. She didn't even notice that Darien had stopped in front of her.

"Serena?" Darien forehead creased up in concern. She looked so far away. He touched her face. Serena's eyes snapped back to his and a look of pure, unadulterated fury filled their depths.

"Get out."

"Now Serena, there's no need to say thing we don't mean." He knew he had gone to far as soon as the words left his lips. Her reaction was instant as her hand connected with his cheek, the force nearly unbalancing him. "What the-"

"I said get the fuck out!"

"Serena listen-"

"No you listen. You waltz up in here proclaiming you want sex. Not even considering the type of insult that is. Patronise me, telling me what I do and do not want. And except me to fall into your arms. You're not God Darien. You think that because you're you and I'm me that you can treat me what ever way you want. Well let me tell you something, you can't! Now Get Out." Serena finished chest heaving from the emotional exertion.

Darien had got what he came for. Answers. But now it was more complicated. She had a past, and damn him, he had made his job harder by awakening old emotions and from that past. He'll have to go but not before one last kiss. He grabbed her arms firmly and captured her lips in a hungry kiss, he felt her melt against him and he reluctantly pulled away. "Very well, but I must warn you Serena. I will be back." He turned and left. She needed time. Time he had no choice but to give. He had awakened something within her and now he had to find a way to fix what he had done.

Serena sank to the floor, tears streaming down her face. How could she respond to such a bastard? He was no better than Him. But she didn't know what to do. She needed a quick solution, she didn't have much time till the end of term exams and she didn't need any type of emotional stress occupying her time. Mina would know what to do. She always knew what to do.

Sorry for the long wait, I think it was worth it though. Review! Review! Review!
